Legal regulation of tourism: experience and prospects

This article examines the issues of existing international and national experience in the field of legal regulation of tourism in the post-pandemic world. The main stages of development of legislation on tourism in the Republic of Kazakhstan have been formed, which is one of the fundamental conditions for the formation of a separate branch of tourism law. The article provides examples of international regulation of the tourism sector, as well as models of state policy regarding the development and stimulation of tourism activities. Thus, theanalysismadea certain contributions to the theoretical foundations of tourism law.

Fus3/Kss1-MAP kinase and Ste12-like control distinct biocontrol-traits besides regulation of insect cuticle penetration via phosphorylation cascade in a filamentous fungal pathogen.

Homolog of the yeast Fus3/Kss1 MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway and its target transcription factor, Ste12-like, are involved in penetration of host cuticle /pathogenicity in many ascomycete pathogens. However, details of their interaction during fungal infection, as well as their controlled other virulence-associated traits, are unclear. Ste12-like (BbSte12) and Fus3/Kss1 MAPK homolog (Bbmpk1) interacted in nucleus, and phosphorylation of BbSte12 by Bbmpk1 was essential for penetration of insect cuticle in an insect fungal pathogen, Beauveria bassiana. However, some distinct biocontrol-traits were found to be mediated by Ste12 and Bbmpk1. In contrast to ΔBbmpk1 colony that grew more rapid than wild type strain, inactivation of BbSte12 resulted in the opposite phenotype, which was consistent with their different proliferation rates in insect hemocoel after direct injection of conidia bypass the cuticle. Reduced conidial yield with decreased hydrophobicity was examined in the both mutants, however they displayed distinct conidiogenesis, accompanying with differently altered cell cycle, distinct hyphal branching and septum formation. Moreover, ΔBbmpk1 showed increased tolerance to oxidative agent, whereas the opposite phenotype was seen for ΔBbSte12 strain. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that Bbmpk1 controlled 356 genes depending on BbSte12 during cuticle penetration, but 1077 and 584 genes were independently controlled by Bbmpk1 and BbSte12. BbSte12 and Bbmpk1 separately participate additional pathways for control of conidiation, growth and hyphal differentiation, as well as oxidative stress response besides regulating cuticle penetration via phosphorylation cascade.

Study on formation mechanism of different differential resistance branches at avalanche breakdown curve of SGT-MOSFET

The robustness of power devices is limited by the different differential resistance branches on the avalanche breakdown curve. The negative differential resistance branch can cause the current aggregation inside the device to form a positive feedback, resulting in an increasing local current density, which is not conducive to the robustness of the device. The avalanche breakdown curve of SGT-MOSFET shows differential resistance branches different from that of diodes and IGBTs. In this paper, the formation mechanism of different differential resistance branches is firstly studied in detail. It is found that the formation of the first negative differential resistance branch is related to the triggering of the parasitic npn transistor, and which was verified by comparing the avalanche characteristic curves of the structural with or without n+ source region. Finally, A p+ buried layer is introduced in the p-body region of SGT-MOSFET, which can effectively suppress the triggering of parasitic npn transistor by optimizing the avalanche current path, reduce the negative differential resistance branch, and improve the robustness of SGT-MOSFET.

Saturated C22-tailed cationic surfactant in concentrated brine: Structural evolution of wormlike micelles and rheological properties

Saturated C22-tailed ultra-long-chain imparts cationic surfactant stable chemical structure and strong hydrophobic interaction that favors the generation of wormlike micelles in brine. Such viscoelastic wormlike micellar fluid is expected to exhibit excellent salt-resistance and temperature-resistance. In this work, the self-assembled microstructures and microscopic flow properties of docosyl(trimethyl)azanium chloride (DCTAC) NaCl solutions were systematically investigated by means of cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), rheo-small angle neutron scattering (rheo-SANS), steady-state and dynamic rheology. It is found that DCTAC forms long, linear or branched, flexible or stiff wormlike micelles depending on NaCl concentration. The increase in salt content simultaneously promotes the growth of worm length and the formation of branches. While the worm chain elongation plays a dominant role in mid-range of NaCl concentrations, the branching formation acts as a leading role in supper high NaCl concentrations, which results in rheological properties experiencing a significant increase followed by a certain decrease upon increasing NaCl content up to ∼ 20 wt%. Moreover, DCTAC shows much better thickening power than corresponding homologue surfactants bearing shorter hydrophobic tail in brine, and DCTAC solution also shows much better temperature-resistance than them. These findings are helpful to understand salt effect on cationic surfactant self-assemble behavior, and the relationship between microstructure and solution macroscopical properties.

Channel Processes Disconnectivity in Rivers Hydromorphology

The present paper deals with five main structural levels of channel processes and channel patterns due to disconnectivity of fluvial processes. River braiding is related to existence of point, bar, channel (island), anabranching and large distributary channels (located in the deltas of large and largest rivers). Meandering is related to sinuosity of the flow and formation of complex loop and large meanders, the dimensions of which are larger than those corresponding to the water content of the river, and the meanders of the meandering belts. Due to the instability of the straight flow, the structural levels of the straight single channel are distinguished by their size: pool hollows on the riffles, reaches between adjacent bends and segments of braided channel, sections between single branches and stretched stretch areas along the bedrock banks or in the incised channel. Each structural level is related to the previous one forming scaling sequence (middle and side channels are the basis for the formation of branches and bends, etc.), representing genetic series, although in some cases they may have a different origin (intra-floodplain intercepts, relics of delta branches, etc.). The meandering process happens over various scales in both braided and straight channels. The formation of structural levels is governed by river size, geology, effective discharges and local drivers.

Towards understanding the effect of fibrinogen interactions on fibrin gel structure.

Fibrin gelation involves the enzymatic conversion of the plasma protein fibrinogen to fibrin monomers which then polymerize to form the gel that is a major structural component of a blood clot. Because fibrinogen provides the material from which fibrin is made, it is generally regarded as promoting the gelation process. However, fibrinogen can bind to a site on a fibrin oligomer, preventing another fibrin oligomer from binding there, thus slowing the polymerization process. "Soluble fibrin oligomers," which are mixtures of fibrin and fibrinogen, are found in the blood plasma and serve as biomarkers for various clotting disorders, so understanding the interplay between fibrin and fibrinogen during fibrin polymerization may have medical importance. We present a kinetic gelation model of fibrin polymerization which accounts for the dual and antagonistic roles of fibrinogen. It builds on our earlier model of fibrin polymerization that proposed a novel mechanism for branch formation, which is a necessary component of gelation. This previous model captured salient experimental observations regarding the determinants of the structure of the gel, but did not include fibrinogen binding. Here, we add to that model reactions between fibrinogen and fibrin, so oligomers are now mixtures of fibrin and fibrinogen, and characterizing their dynamics leads to equationsof substantially greater complexity than previously. Using a moment generating function approach, we derive a closed system of moment equationsand we track their dynamics until the finite time blow-up of specific second moments indicates that a gel has formed. In simulations begun with an initial mixture of fibrin and fibrinogen monomers, a sufficiently high relative concentration of fibrinogen prevents gelation; the critical concentration increases with the branch formation rate. In simulations begun with only fibrinogen monomers that are converted to fibrin at a specified rate, the rates of conversion, fibrinogen binding to oligomers, and branch formation together determine whether a gel forms, how long it takes to form, and the structural properties of the gel that results.

The law of war as a source of contemporary branches of international law

Branches of international law arise mainly as a result of the following factors: 1) complications of international legal consciousness (international human rightslaw, international security law, international environmental law, international criminal law, etc.) and 2) technological progress (international air, space, nuclear law, relevant innovations in international maritime law, etc.). Under the influence of the same factors, new institutions are formed within existing branches (responsibility for international crimes, prohibitions of genocide, prohibitions of apartheid, responsibility for environmental pollution, instant custom, etc.). The article examines the mechanism of formation of the international humanitarian law, the law of armed conflicts, international security law, international human rights law, and international criminal law. It is claimed that they are based on a traditional section of pre-classical international law - the law of war. The first attempts to regulate the conduct of armed conflicts formed the basis for the creation of these branches. The first scientific systematization of international law was one proposed by Hugo Grotius. The scholar proposed to divide the system of this law into two interrelated components - the law of war and the law of peace. Grotian systematization formed the basis of further scientific systematics of international law in the 17th-19th centuries. The Hague Peace Conferences changed the traditional view of the division of international law into the law of war and peace. The Hague peace conventions influenced on formation of the international humanitarian law. The 20th century became a period of active formation of new branches of international law within the framework of the process of "codification and progressive development of international law" under the auspices of the United Nations. So the traditional law of war gave birth to several branches of modern international law.

Jasmonic acid negatively regulates branch growth in pear.

The quality of seedlings is an important factor for development of the pear industry. A strong seedling with few branches and suitable internodes is ideal material as a rootstock for grafting and breeding. Several branching mutants of pear rootstocks were identified previously. In the present study, 'QAU-D03' (Pyrus communis L.) and it's mutants were used to explore the mechanism that affects branch formation by conducting phenotypic trait assessment, hormone content analysis, and transcriptome analysis. The mutant plant (MP) showed fewer branches, shorter 1-year-old shoots, and longer petiole length, compared to original plants (OP), i.e., wild type. Endogenous hormone analysis revealed that auxin, cytokinin, and jasmonic acid contents in the stem tips of MP were significantly higher than those of the original plants. In particular, the jasmonic acid content of the MP was 1.8 times higher than that of the original plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that PcCOI1, which is a transcriptional regulatory gene downstream of the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, was expressed more highly in the MP than in the original plants, whereas the expression levels of PcJAZ and PcMYC were reduced in the MP compared with that of the original plants. In response to treatment with exogenous methyl jasmonate, the original plants phenotype was consistent with that of the MP in developing less branches. These results indicate that jasmonic acid negatively regulates branch growth of pear trees and that jasmonic acid downstream regulatory genes play a crucial role in regulating branching.

Steps of actin filament branch formation by Arp2/3 complex investigated with coarse-grained molecular dynamics.

The nucleation of actin filament branches by the Arp2/3 complex involves activation through nucleation promotion factors (NPFs), binding of the complex to the side of actin filaments, and recruitment of actin monomers. Because of the large system size and processes that involve flexible regions and diffuse components, simulations of branch formation using all-atom molecular dynamics are challenging. We applied the Cα based model Kim and Hummer that retains amino-acid level information and allows coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations in implicit solvent, with globular domains represented as rigid bodies and flexible regions allowed to fluctuate. We used recent cryo-EM structures of the Arp2/3 complex branch bound to a mother actin filament to represent the activated form of Arp2/3 complex. We studied its interactions with the VCA domain of the NPF Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) and actin monomers. We found stable configurations with one or two actin monomers bound along the branch filament direction and with VCA domain associated to the strong and weak binding sites of the Arp2/3 complex, supporting prior structural studies and validating our approach. The results further suggest that the interaction between the two actin subunits, and the flexibility of actin D-loop contribute to the stability of the complex. We also performed CG-MD simulations of active Arp2/3 complex bound to a mother actin filament. The bound conformation remained stable during the simulations, which reflect the contribution of each subunit to the binding. D-loop flexibility of actin subunits on the mother filament further stabilized the binding.

We used recent electron microscopy structures of the inactive Arp2/3 complex bound to NPF domains and to mother actin filament for the activated Arp2/3 complex. We studied interactions of Arp2/3 complex with the activating VCA domain of the NPF Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, actin monomers, and actin filament. We found stable configurations with one or two actin monomers bound along the branch filament direction and with CA domain of VCA associated to the strong and weak binding sites of the Arp2/3 complex, supporting prior structural studies and validating our approach. We reproduced delivery of actin monomers and CA to the Arp2/3 complex under different conditions, providing insight into mechanisms proposed in previous studies. Simulations of active Arp2/3 complex bound to a mother actin filament indicate the contribution of each subunit to the binding. Addition of the C-terminal tail of Arp2/3 complex subunit ArpC2, which is missing in the cryo-EM structure, increased binding affinity, indicating a possible stabilizing role of this tail.

The functional anatomy of the cornea of the Shorthead lamprey, Mordacia mordax (Mordaciidae, Agnatha): a comparison between downstream and upstream migrants.

The Shorthead lamprey Mordacia mordax (Mordaciidae, Agnatha) represents one of the earliest stages in vertebrate evolution. This study investigates the ultrastructural anatomy of the cornea, iris and anterior chamber in the eyes of this species in both the downstream and upstream migrant phases of its protracted lifecycle to assess the morphological and quantitative changes associated with growth, corneal function and vision. Using light and both scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the cornea is found to be divided into dermal and scleral components separated by a mucoid layer. A range of distinguishing corneal features are compared in the two adult phases of the lifecycle including epithelial microprojections, mucus-secreting epithelial cells, the number, thickness, formation and level of branching and anastomosing of collagen lamellae, the type and distribution of vertical sutures, the structure of the mucoid layer and annular ligament and the number and distribution of a large number of basement membranes throughout the cornea. Significant differences are found between the two phases, which are thought to reflect adaptations to the variable environmental conditions encountered throughout this species' lifecycle. The study provides insights into the evolutionary pressures on extant representatives of the earliest stages in the evolution of the vertebrate eye. This article is protected by copyright.

Sesamin Attenuates VEGFA-Induced Angiogenesis via Inhibition of Src and FAK Signaling in Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane Model and Human Endothelial EA.hy926 Cells.

Sesamin, a major phytochemical in sesame seeds and oil, has been reported to have effects on physiological and pathological angiogenesis in several studies. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of sesamin's effect on angiogenesis are not understood well enough. This study aimed to investigate its effect on both physiological and pathological angiogenesis using the in vivo chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model and the in vitro human endothelial cell line, EA.hy926, model. Sesamin inhibited the VEGFA-induced pathological angiogenesis significantly, although no effect was seen on angiogenesis without induction. It reduced the formation of vascular branches in the VEGFA-treated CAMs and also the proliferation and migration of EA.hy926 endothelial cells induced by VEGFA. Sesamin impeded the VEGF-mediated activation of Src and FAK signaling proteins, which may be responsible for sesamin-mediated reduction of pathological angiogenesis. Moreover, the effect of sesamin on the expressions of angiogenesis-related genes was then investigated and it was found that both mRNA and protein expressions of Notch1, the key pathway in vascular development, induced by VEGFA, were significantly reduced by sesamin. Our results altogether suggested that sesamin, by inhibiting pathological angiogenesis, has the potential to be employed in the prevention or treatment of diseases with over-angiogenesis, such as cancers.

ИСТОРИОГРАФИЯ РАЗВИТИЯ АРХИВНОГО ДЕЛА КАЗАХСТАНА (1991-2021)

The article presents a historiographic analysis of the scientific works on the history of the development of archives in Kazakhstan. The paper highlights the most studied topics and the issues raised in the works of Kazakh researchers. The author notes that the problematics of the organization and history of archives administration in Kazakhstan is one of the central topics of the national archival science. That is evidenced by the studied works of both theoretical scholars and practicing archivists. After gaining independence, the republic started forming its own scientific base for studying archival issues, particular historical periods, during which the formation of the archival branch took place. Based on the extensive source material, relying on prior experience, modern researchers have created a historical retrospective of the emergence of archival science in the country. The relevance of the historiographic analysis of the study in the history and organization of archives administration in Kazakhstan is explained by the need to determine its main directions, analyze the approaches and views that have developed over the recent 30 years. At the same time, there still exist unaffected aspects of the history of the development of Kazakhstani archives. In working out the issue the historiographic analysis methods were used, including the comparative historical, chronological, and periodization methods. Monographs, scientific articles, textbooks and reviews on the history of the development of archives administration in Kazakhstan, published in the period from 1991 to 2021, were used as a source base.

The article is devoted to the period when Guo Shuzhen (born 1928), an outstanding representative of the Chinese vocal school, studied at the Moscow Conservatory. The author defines the moments contributing to the formation of European vocal training branch in China, and describes the first teachers who emigrated from Russia in 1919 and became the founders of the first vocal schools in Shanghai and Harbin. The versatile activity of Guo Shuzhen, a chamber and opera singer raised by the Moscow Conservatory school, is briefly characterized. The main goal is to consider the stages of the formation of Guo Shuzhen’s creative personality in the context of the emerging pedagogical ties in China and the USSR and their subsequent intensive development. The materials of Guo Shujen’s personal file from the Archive of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory presented new, unknown in China, information on the years of her studies. Especially significant is the conclusion of Professor E. Katulskaya in the pre-graduate period: “Guo Shuzhen has outstanding professional qualities and is a trained singer for successful work in the opera theatre, as well as for concert work”. For the first time the scale of Guo Shuzhen’s opera and concert practice during the years of her study is illuminated: from participation in opera studio performances to patron concerts all over the USSR, as well as participation in opera productions of different years, performing the roles of Tatiana, Cio-Cio-San and others. The article pays special attention to graduates of the Central Beijing Conservatory who passed through the brightly individual school created by Guo Shuzhen and considers the multifaceted activities of Guo Shuzhen in China.

The review analyzes the content of the collective monograph “Administrative Law in the system of modern Russian law”, which examined the theoretical, methodological and applied problems of modern Administrative Law. It is emphasized that the book under review, on the one hand, acts as a kind of guide to various issues of Administrative Law, and on the other hand - is a systematic fundamental scientific research of industry nature. It is concluded that there are three types of chapters in the monograph: first, these are the classical chapters (subject of Administrative Law, administrative legal relationship, administrative enforcement, etc.); secondly, these are new chapters prompted to the authors by the ongoing changes in modern realities; thirdly, these are classic discussion topics. It is noted that the work under review is relevant, scientific, systematic, therefore it will take its rightful place in the library of modern scientific works on Administrative Law.

Time-Lapse Imaging and Morphometric Analysis of Tracheal Development in Drosophila.

Detailed and quantitative analyses of the cellular events underlying the formation of specific organs or tissues is essential to understand the general mechanisms of morphogenesis and pattern formation. Observation of live tissues or whole-mount fixed specimens has emerged as the method of choice for identifying and quantifying specific cellular and tissular structures within the organism. In both cases, cell and subcellular structure identification and good quality image acquisition for these analyses are essential. Many markers for live imaging and fixed tissue are now available for detecting cell membranes, subcellular structures, and extracellular structures like the extracellular matrix (ECM). Combination of live imaging and analysis of fixed tissue is ideal to obtain a general and detailed picture of the events underlying embryonic development. By applying morphometric methods to both approaches, we can, in addition, obtain a quantitative evaluation of the specific parameters under investigation in morphogenetic and cell biological studies. In this chapter, we focus on the development of the tracheal system of Drosophila melanogaster, which provides an ideal paradigm to understand the formation of branched tubular organs. We describe the most used methods of imaging and morphometric analysis in tubulogenesis using mainly (but not exclusively) examples from embryonic development. We cover embryo preparation for fixed and live analysis of tubulogenesis, together with methods to visualize larval tracheal terminal cell branching and lumen formation. Finally, we describe morphometric analysis and quantification methods using fluorescent images of tracheal cells.

Gamma irradiation effects on seed germination, growth and morphological traits of kemiri sunan (Reutialis trisperma(Blanco) Airy Shaw)

Kemiri Sunan is a biodiesel producing tree that has an ecological function as a reforestation plant since it can adapt to the marginal, dry and ex-mining land. It is necessary to increase the genetic diversity of kemiri sunan through mutation in order to support its breeding program. Dried seeds of Karmindo1 and M03 varieties were exposed to gamma sources with doses ranging from 50 to 1000 Gy to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the germination and growth of kemiri sunan seeds. The percentage of germination, as well as physiological parameters of seedlings (shoot length and number of leaves) decreased with increasing irradiation doses. However, the two varieties showed a difference in sensitivity responses to gamma rays. The recommendation doses for the two varieties are 100 – 200 Gy and 50 – 100 Gy for Karmindo1 and M03 respectively. No morphological variation was found in seedlings except for one mutant with early branch formation. The development of this plant is important, not only as an alternative source of renewable energy, but also as one of the crops that can adapt to the threat of global climate change such as drought.

STUDY OF A VARIATION OF LUMBOSACRAL PLEXUS: SCIATIC NERVE AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Background: The pelvis is a home to pelvic parts of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, the sacral and coccygeal plexuses, and the lumbosacral trunk. The lower spine’s sciatic nerve is made up of a combination of motor and sensory fibers from spinal nerves fourth lumbar to third sacral segment (ventral rami). The objective of study was to determine morphological variations in origin and formation of branching pattern of sciatic nerve. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on twenty-four (forty-eight lower limbs) cadavers available in the Department of Anatomy at School of Basic Sciences, Chitwan Medical College. All damaged cadavers were excluded. The cadavers for undergraduate first year medical students dissected as per Cunningham’s Manual. The branching pattern of the sciatic nerve was noted. All Variation of each sacral plexus was photographed. Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 20. Both gluteal regions were studied for the locations and variation of the sciatic nerve. Results: Forty-eight lower limbs were examined. Among them forty-two lower limbs (87.5 percent) showed a normal anatomy of the sciatic nerve. Six lower limbs (12.5 percent) showed variations in the sciatic nerve. Conclusions: The study concluded that there are variations in origin and formation of branches of sciatic nerve. Variations of sciatic nerve observed could be beneficial for various surgical interventions like nerve release and pain management in compressed nerve.

Dynamic Response and Molecular Chain Modifications Associated with Degradation during Mixing of Silica-Reinforced Natural Rubber Compounds

Mixing silica-reinforced rubber for tire tread compounds involves high shear forces and temperatures to obtain a sufficient degree of silanization. Natural Rubber (NR) is sensitive to mastication and chemical reactions, and thus, silica-NR mixing encounters both mechanical and thermal degradation. The present work investigates the degradation phenomena during the mixing of silica-reinforced NR compounds in-depth. The Mooney stress relaxation rates, the dynamic properties with frequency sweep, a novel characterization of branch formation on NR using Δδ values acc. Booij and van Gurp-Palmen plots, together, indicate two major competitive reactions taking place: chain scission or degradation and preliminary cross-linking or branch formation. For masticated pure NR and gum compounds, the viscous responses increase, and the changes in all parameters indicate the dominance of chain scission with increasing dump temperature. It causes molecular weight decrease, broader molecular weight distribution, and branched structures. Different behavior is observed for silica-filled NR compounds in which both physical and chemical cross-links are promoted by silanization and coupling reactions. At high dump temperatures above 150 °C, the results indicate a significant increase in branching due to preliminary cross-linking. These molecular chain modifications that cause network heterogeneity deteriorate the mechanical properties of resulting vulcanizates.

Очесывающее устройство для отдельных растений сои

As a result of the research on the threshing process of individual soybean plants, it was found that the formation of additional lateral branches on soybean plants significantly complicates their threshing by known combing methods that spare the integrity and viability of breeding and genetically valuable seeds. This leads to a significant slowdown in the threshing speed and reduces its quality. Analysis of previously developed devices for combing plants on the root revealed the inefficiency of their constructive solutions for individual soybean plants, since to comb all the beans from a multibranched plant on known combing devices, it is necessary to divide the plant into its separate branches and separate each from the beans. The research conducted at V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops allowed us to develop a design of a combing device that provides combing of beans from a multibranched soybean plant in one pass with a high coefficient of the combing process.
