Preparing for another Ebola Outbreak: The impact of viral inactivation methods on commonly measured biochemistry analytes in plasma and urine

IntroductionInfectious specimens containing viruses like Ebola require sample manipulation to ensure the safety of laboratory staff, which may negatively impact biochemistry test results. We evaluated the impact of viral inactivation methods on 25 biochemistry analytes in plasma, and seven biochemistry analytes in urine. MethodsFifteen lithium heparinized plasma specimens with and without gel underwent the following viral inactivation methods: 1) untreated, 2) Triton X-100 treatment, 2) heated for 60 min then Triton X-100 treatment, 3) heated for 60 min, 4) heated for 75 min, and 5) heated for 90 min. Electrolytes, protein, enzymes, glucose, as well as hepatic and renal markers were measured on the Roche Cobas e601, c502 or c702. Urinalysis analytes were measured on the Siemens CLINITEK. Acceptable recovery was based on Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare 2021 guidelines or ± 1 for urinalysis. ResultsPotassium and lactate dehydrogenase were impacted by the presence of gel. Viral inactivation with Triton X-100 had minimal impact on the biochemistry results. Heat inactivation resulted in significant negative bias in alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, creatinine, total protein, amylase, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase. Positive bias in phosphate, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin, and uric acid were observed after heat inactivation. ConclusionReliable results for commonly measured electrolytes, enzymes and proteins can be obtained after viral inactivation by Triton X-100 treatment at room temperature. However, heat inactivation has significant negative impact on routine biochemistry enzymes and alternative testing processes should be explored.

Перспективы применения различных органоминеральных удобрений на яровом ячмене

The results of field experiments on spring barley conducted in 2023 on the experimental fields of the Agrobiotechnopark of the Kazan State Agrarian University are presented. The purpose of the research was to assess the impact of the use of various compositions of organomineral fertilizers based on natural minerals (zeolite, diatomite, perlite), humates and food industry waste (buckwheat husk, beet molasses) developed at the Institute of Agrobiotechnologies and Land Management of Kazan State Agrarian University on the formation of the yield and grain quality of spring barley. The objectives of the research included studying the nature of changes in plant growth and development, yield and protein content in grain when using experimental organomineral fertilizers. The object of the study was spring barley of the Raushan variety. The control was the option without fertilizers; the standard was the application of 100 kg/ha of azofoska. Experimental fertilizers were applied at a rate of 120 kg/ha. All fertilizers in the experiment were applied before sowing. The studies were carried out on gray forest highly cultivated soil. The growing season conditions in 2023 were characterized by periodically severe drought phenomena, which affected the growth and development of spring barley plants. It was found that the application of experimental fertilizers contributed to the growth of the length of roots and above-ground parts of plants, and also reduced the damage to plants by root rot. Diatomite-based fertilizer had the greatest positive effect on reducing root rot damage. The largest increase in yield over the control (by 0.73 t/ha) and standard (by 0.22 t/ha) was obtained when using diatomite-based fertilizer. The use of all organomineral fertilizers (especially those based on zeolite) leads to an increase in the protein content in the grain.

Analisis Efektifitas Lembaga Pengelola Hutan Nagari Dalam Mencapai Tujuan Program Perhutanan Sosial Dan Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhinya

His study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Nagari Forest Management Institution in achieving the objectives of the Social Forestry Program and examine the factors that influence the effectiveness of the Nagari Forest Management Institution in achieving the objectives of the Social Forestry Program. This research is a qualitative research using interviews, observations and FGDs to collect research data. The results of this study indicate that the Nagari Forest Management Institute in implementing the Social Forestry program from an ecological aspect has been effective, this can be seen from changes in the behavior of exploitative permit holders to care about forests, permit holders have played an active role in preserving and protecting forests, namely by planting replanting forest plants in agroforestry manner so as to have a positive impact on the environment in the form of maintaining water sources, uprooting critical land, conserving biodiversity, and reducing forest fires, so that forest sustainability is maintained. Furthermore, the Nagari Forest Management Agency in the economic aspect is considered ineffective because the social forestry program has not been able to increase the amount of production generated from business activities, the amount of net profit and business expansion and this program has not opened up many business opportunities for permit holders. Then the authors also found that not all of the Social Forestry Business Institutions formed at LPHN could operate and carry out transactions and the ability to access permit holders in marketing Non-Timber Forest Product products was also still low. The Nagari Forest Management Institution in the social aspect is also ineffective where the LPHN has not been able to increase the knowledge of permit holders, as seen from the lack of participation of LPHN members in every activity and the lack of strong institutional capacity. LPHN has also not been able to provide satisfaction to permit holders with the results achieved, and has not had an impact on farmers

Экспериментальные исследования устойчивости откосов мелиоративных осушительных каналов

The article presents the results of experimental studies of the stability of slopes of reclamation channels. Experimental studies were carried out on the Grand Channel of the Laboratory of Sprinkler Machines and Hydraulic Drive of the Department of Organization and Technologies of Irrigation and Reclamation and Construction Works of the Institute of Land Reclamation, Water Management and Construction named after A.N. Kostyakov. The work of the reclamation drainage system is accompanied by the appearance of sediments, siltation of herbaceous and shrubby vegetation at the bottom and slopes of the channel. For the normal functioning of the reclamation drainage system, it is necessary to maintain the design dimensions of the channels during the entire period of their operation. To clean drainage channels, special channel cleaning machines of periodic or continuous action on caterpillar or pneumatic wheels are used, and general construction excavators with widened buckets are also often used. The operation of all these machines with a large operating weight has a peculiarity, which consists in their movement in the process of cleaning along the channel along the berm sections close to the edge. Such a situation can lead to a violation of the stability of the slopes, which in turn disrupts the capacity of the channel bed and its design geometric dimensions. The study of slope instability from the loads of channel cleaning machines allows you to correctly design the channel section and form a cleaning technology.

Post-Pandemic Analysis on the Factors Affecting Academic Performance of Tourism and Hospitality Management Students During COVID-19 Pandemic: Basis of an Enhanced Learning Continuity Plan

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General and Committee members declared in 2023 that COVID-19 will no longer constitute a public health emergency (PHEIC). During the pandemic surge in global business, the educational system worldwide, including hospitality education, has been greatly affected by the pandemic crisis. The influence of COVID-19 causes worldwide school closures that have far-reaching implications for students’ short- and long-term growth because of the disruption of teacher and student networks, leading to poor performance. Thus, the study aims to analyze the factors that affect the academic performance of Tourism and Hospitality Management students of Far Eastern University Manila, Philippines, enrolled in the academic year 2020-2021 during the COVID-19 surge. The study used a descriptive survey design using a self-administered survey instrument with 342 respondents. The findings of the study showed that different factors in technology and learning management system (LMS), student’s environment, study area, delivery of academic subjects offered by the teachers, and the assessment used by the school during the distance learning have impacted the academic performance of students as evidence in the decline of Quality Point Average (QPA) on both programs from the Institute of Tourism and Hospitality Management despite that distance learning is designed to be convenient and easy. The factors influencing academic performance, such as technology and study environment, primarily play a significant and considerable role in how students learn and cope with the distant learning mode. The result of the study will serve as a guide in enhancing the University’s continuity plan for flexible learning options, given the factors that need reinforcement to the scholarly performance of the students. The study can be a benchmarking tool among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines as a basis to further strengthen their learning strategies relative to flexible teaching and learning modalities, refining the scholarly learning assessment tools as well as sustaining the schools’ continuity framework and achieving the academic goals and aspiration for the success of students and graduates of the HEIs whether in the new normal or the future global crisis.

Effect of teleconnection patterns on cloudiness in winter in Poland

The subject of the study was the effect of teleconnection patterns on cloudiness in Poland in the period 1990–2020. The analysis was conducted based on daily cloudiness values from 34 measurement stations of Institute of Meteorology and Water Management - National Research Institute and monthly North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Scandinavia (SCAND) indices from the collection of Climate Prediction Center (CPC). The course of cloudiness values in winter in the multiannual period was analyzed together with its averaged spatial distrubution for the entire winter and for particular winter months. Next, the coefficient of correlation of cloudiness with a given teleconnection pattern index was calculated. The analysis also covered cloudiness in the positive and negative teleconnection phases. The results confirm a variable course and increasing trend of winter cloudiness in Poland. The average cloudiness reached 76% in the studied multiannual period. The correlation coefficient for the North Atlantic Oscillation primarily adopted negative values, and positive for the Scandinavian circulation. The strongest correlation between the teleconnection pattern and cloudiness was observed in February for NAO and in December for SCAND. Cloudiness showed no considerable differences between the positive and negative teleconnection phases.

Along with the centenary of the Institute of Economics and Management in Agribusiness, the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy celebrated another notable event in 2023: the centenary of the Department of Russian and Foreign Languages. On this occasion, the authors decided to look back at the vast methodological experience of their colleagues – both predecessors and contemporaries, to analyse the accumulated practices, development trends, etc. Thus, the authors have made an overview of study, reference and teaching books, academic and scientific papers written by the staff of the Department at different times up to the present day. We studied samples of published litherature related to the disciplines taught at the Department, which are directly available at the subscription desk, in the reading room, as well as in the electronic library system of the Central Scientific Library of the University. The changes in the textbooks over time, as well as their dynamic development and improvement, have been traced in the course of the research. As a result, more than 100 textbooks and manuals created by the teachers of the department and published from 1956 to 2024 were analysed. The authors have observed the valuable background of the Department’s scientific literature, the original approach to the selection and presentation of material in accordance with the study areas. On the other hand, the study packs have been constantly completed and supplemented with new types of skill development tasks, expanding the range of diverse learning resources in line with world trends, developing new teaching methods.

ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЙ О СУЩНОСТИ МЕСТНОГО САМОУПРАВЛЕНИЯ В ОБЩЕСТВЕННО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОМ ДИСКУРСЕ

The article analyzes the socio-political discourse of local self-government in the post-Soviet period of Russia’s development. The aim was to study the transformation of ideas about the functions of local government in the socio-political discourse of 2014-2023. The research method was quantitative and qualitative content analysis of texts. As it turned out, in the associative series with the concept of “local self-government”, word forms associated with the meanings of local democracy, civil society, democracy, and political participation of citizens were least used. To a much greater extent, the concept of local self-government turned out to be associated with concepts describing it as local public administration related to the performance of the function of providing services to the population, solving socio-economic problems. As a result of the study, the hypothesis was confirmed that the idea of transforming local self-government is the lowest link in the system of public power has support in political discourse. In the public consciousness, the function of this institution as a “school of democracy” was almost completely replaced by the idea of it as a “grassroots” management unit, engaged mainly in providing services to the population and solving socio-economic problems. Such a painless rejection of the democratic component in a broader context confirms the hypothesis that the formation of local self-government in the first half of the 1990s was not democratic, but politically situational in nature, associated with the interests of a relatively small number of actors, the lack of formation of local communities in the post-Soviet period, and the weakness of the “middle class”, therefore unable to become social the base of local government. This gave rise to the objective inevitability of the subsequent evolution of the institute of local self-government into the “lower floor” of the regional public administration system, bringing the “superstructure” institute of political management in line with its basic basis.

The Emergence and Evolution of the Term "Judicial Management"

The object of the article's research is the process of the emergence and development of the concept of "judicial management". The subject of the study is the formation of the judicial management system and the evolutionary development of terms denoting such management. The author summarizes and systematizes theoretical knowledge on the formation and development of the concept of "judicial management", explores the terminological features and principles of modern judicial management. All this made it possible to objectively assess the process of formation and development of judicial management, to see its new facets, the categorical apparatus reflecting the content of the concept of "judicial management".
