Diffusion of Private and Public Institutions: a Global Aspect

Relevance. The article is devoted to the study of global legal and illegal private structures. The relevance of this research is due to the global structural crisis, the need for scientific ways to resolve the accumulated contradictions within the framework of the functioning of the global liberal paradigm, which at the current stage of development is characterized by a general criminalization of the economy, mutual integration of private and public structures, as a result, degradation of the institution of the state with the subsequent formation of a global pyramid of private power. The purpose of the study is to identify trends in the formation of a single private transnational network structure. Objectives. This goal is achieved by performing the following tasks: identifying trends in internationalization and transnationalization of private structures, and the relationship between private and public structures on a global scale by strengthening socio-economic interaction, including through the organization of large-scale financial flows, revealing the synthesis of shadow and legal financial sectors of the global economy, analyzing the impact of legal and illegal activities the impact of private multinational companies on the global economy, studying the specifics of criminalization of the global economy in general and the financial sector in particular in the context of the global structural crisis. Methodology. The implementation of these tasks is carried out using such research methods as system analysis, synthesis, generalization, interpretation of results. In the course of the study, empirical and statistical data, scientific papers, reports of relevant ministries and departments in the field under consideration were systematized, the interpretation of the analysis of global socio-economic processes in the form of a flowchart was implemented. The results of the conducted research are modeling of the emerging global supranational structure. Conclusions. The tendencies of the formation of a private transnational network structure, which includes both legal (transnational banks) and illegal (transnational criminal associations) private structures, are determined. These trends can be traced at various levels of socio-economic interaction, including financial, of these structures.

Statistical and clustering analysis of attributes of Bitcoin backbone nodes.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency. Its network is a Peer-to-peer(P2P) network consisting of distributed nodes. Some of these nodes are always online and in this article are called Bitcoin backbone nodes. They have a significant impact on the stability and security of the Bitcoin network, so it is meaningful to analyze and discuss them. In this paper, we first continuously collect information about Bitcoin nodes from July 2021 through June 2022 (which is the longest duration of data collection to date). In total, we collect information on 127,613 Bitcoin nodes. At the same time, we conclude that the fluctuation of Bitcoin nodes is directly related to the fluctuation of onion network nodes. Further, we filtered 2694 Bitcoin backbone nodes based on our algorithm. By analyzing the backbone nodes' attributes such as geographic distribution, client version, operator, node function, and abnormal port number, it is demonstrated that these nodes are centralized and play an important role in the Bitcoin network. Based on this, three unsupervised machine learning algorithms are selected to cluster multiple attributes of backbone nodes in a more scientific way. In this paper, the whole process from data collection to cluster analysis is completed and the best results are obtained by comparison. The experiments proved the existence of centralization of Bitcoin backbone nodes and obtained the number of nodes within each cluster. Finally, cluster nodes are de-anonymized based on the optimal results. Through our experiments, we obtain organizational information about the deployers of 103 nodes, linking the Bitcoin backbone nodes to the real world, thus accurately demonstrating the existence of Bitcoin centrality.

Influence of Parents' Career Cxpectations on Self-career Expectations of Middle School Students

Family is an important environment for the growth and development of teenagers. Middle school students' exploration of their own life is influenced by many factors, a large part of which comes from the family. Parental expectation is a core factor that teenagers can get intuitive feelings in the family environment. Moreover, parental career expectation may affect their student's self-career expectations to a greater extent. This paper uses the data of CEPS (China Education Panel Survey) to conduct cross-variable analysis. The result showed that parents' career expectations have a significant impact on middle school students' self-career expectations, which is consistent with previous studies on the impact of parents' expectations on their student. The result suggests that parents of middle school students should know more about career exploration and pay more attention to education and guidance for their student's career exploration so as to help their student complete their own career exploration in a more scientific and reasonable way.

The Equation of Drug Dynamization of Homoeopathic Medicine on the Theory of Nanotechnology

“Homeopathic Drug Dynamisation” is a process by which the medicinal properties which are latent in natural substances while in their crude state, become awakened and developed into activity to an incredible degree.1 Nanotechnology employs substances comprising particles of one to 100 nano metres (nm) in size, in other words, finely powdered ‘dusts’. These are generally manufactured, and do not occur in nature, although natural materials of small particle size are included in the definition. In this article, this is explained in a scientific way and indicated how the potencies, i.e., the powers of the homeopathic medicines have to be worked on basis of the scientific rules including nanotechnology principle. These unique properties of nanoparticles would help to resolve the question that was raised against the homoeopathy (regarding presences of particle in physical form). Surprisingly, advances in conventional drug targeting and safety, herbal product delivery into the body and the nature of homeopathic remedies all converge in the fields of nanotechnology and nano-medicine.2

Optimising a landscape visual quality protocol. A Method for reducing respondent fatigue and obtaining site-specific indicators

Evaluation of landscape visual quality is crucial for policymaking and planning but is still challenging. A wide range of visual assessment protocols is available, but there is still no consensus on appropriate indicators or approaches. Also, evaluation protocols can encompass many indicators, being exhaustive and complex and making the evaluation lengthy. Furthermore, protocols tend to be catered to a particular type of landscape or site-specific, and it can be tricky to ensure the protocol developed is adequate for the landscape under study. This paper proposes a methodology to optimise the selection of indicators for landscape visual assessments. There are two main goals: i) reduce the evaluation time to avoid respondent fatigue, and ii) make the protocol site-specific, choosing indicators that perform better and avoiding redundant indicators.•The presented method optimises the selection of indicators in expert visual assessments;•Indicators are rated in situ on a 5-point scale and go through a performance and redundancy test;•It helps to adapt complex evaluation protocols to the study landscape and to choose robust indicators in a supported and scientific way.

An rPark-branded Proposed Smart Occupancy Detection System for Parking

Due to the growing of the city population, progressively more vehicles are moving through the urban area in demand for parking lots, often causal to the worldwide difficulty of traffic jams. The existing parking system does not have a decent method to know whether the slots are empty or not. So, the user/driver has to rummage around to find an empty slot. As a result, there is a lot of traffic jam on the road, which destroys the normal life of the people. This paper focuses on how to improve the existing parking lot’s occupancy detection system in a scientific way and proposed the smart parking occupancy detection system named rPark. rPark is offered as an innovative technique for detecting parking occupancy. For the initial stage, Ultra High Frequency static RFID chips are installed on the asphalt and cross-examined by RFID interrogator antennas over the parking spots to notice the usage status. A maximum of the difficulties of the existing state-of-the-art parking usage recognition methods are not existing in this scheme. rPark was examined and employed to illustrate an experimental analysis in a physical domain out-of-doors parking spot and has been verified to have a system’s parking detection accuracy is about 100%.

Selection and evaluation of biomarkers of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino representing its tonifying weakness and strengthening muscle effect based on PXR/IL-6/SERCA1a regulation

TCM internal medication is usually beneficial after muscle injury or pulling, among which Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino (Gyp) has shown good activity; however, an explanation and evaluation of its therapeutic effect is needed. The problem lies in the fact that the main regulatory pathway for Gyp is unclear, lacking scientific and systematic mechanisms and standards. It was reported in our previous paper that components in Gyp regulate the expression of the PXR/IL-6/SERCA1a signaling pathway to achieve such therapy, but there remains a lack of an accurate method and standard for evaluation. In this study, based on our previous discovery, a relatively comprehensive and accurate investigation was carried out to establish the metabolomic profile of Gyp’s therapeutic effect, Metabolomics studies showed that a total of 49 different metabolites were found, of which 24 were related to PXR-IL-6-SERCA1a, and they were mainly involved in skeletal muscle cell repair, material and energy metabolism, and inflammatory response, which not only provides accurate standards for PXR/IL-6/SERCA1a regulation but also explains its tonifying weakness and strengthening muscle effect in TCM theory in a scientific and quantitative way.

Arsenic and fluoride exposure in drinking water caused human health risk in coastal groundwater aquifers

Groundwater (GW) is a precious resource for human beings as we depend on it as a source of fresh drinking water, agricultural practices, industrial and domestic uses, etc. Extreme exposure of arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) concentrations along the coastal GW aquifers of “South 24 Parganas and East Medinipur” diluted the quality of GW and created serious health issues. Various chronic health disorders such as – black foot disease, fluorosis skin cancer, cardiac problems, and other water borne diseases have been noticed in these two coastal districts. The comprehensive entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI) and health risk assessment (HRA) were applied to evaluate the quality of GW and probable health risks in the coastal districts. Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis methods were simultaneously adopted to identify the non-carcinogenic health risk assessment due to regular ingestion of contaminated GW. As the study region is densely populated and part of the Sundarbans Ramsar site, it has greater importance at the international level along with regional importance to address the GWQ of this region. The major findings of the present study highlight that almost 55% of the study area is confronting serious GW quality issues and associated probable health risk (HR) due to the intense accumulation of As and F- in the GW aquifers of the study area. Children's health is more vulnerable due to the consumption of As containing GW, and adults are highly affected due to the intake of F- bearing GW in the coastal districts. The findings of the current study will draw the attention of hydrologists, groundwater management authorities, government bodies, and NGOs to regulate and monitor the GW aquifers routinely, enhance GW quality, minimizing the health hazards and sustainable water management in a more scientific and sustainable way which must be advantageous for coastal people.

A REVIEW ON KOSTHI WSR TO RASATARANGINI AND RASA RATNA SAMUCCHYA

Ayurveda the science of life gives importance to keep balance between nature and human relationship. From Vedic period to Samhita period there was less of metals/minerals in formulation, but from the period of Nagarjuna formulation of herbo-mineral drugs are used profusely. A careful survey of the original text on Rasashastra shows that the subject covers the entire field of inorganic pharmaceutical preparation like metallic, non-metallic and ongano-metallic compounds of Ayurvedic Materia medica. Shodhana and Marana of the substance are done with some special processes and thereafter can be used therapeutically. Kosthi is defined as for extraction of dravyas sattva and for the purpose of Dhalana, the special ovens used are called Kosthika. They can be correlated with Gas stove, Hot plate and Heating mantle in modern science. Kosthi are the special devices mentioned in Rasa Shastra to process the Rasa Dravya. They are mentioned in text of Rasa Shastra depicting its importance to other devices like Yantra, Musha, Puta. Kosthi are of different types like Angarkosthi, Patal Kosthi, Gara Kosthi, Musha Kosthi. Their description in Rasa grantha draws attention to know Kosthi in scientific way. Therefore, in the present paper an attempt to review the different Kosthi.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to develop a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to systematically and scientifically evaluate patients’ subjective feelings after orthognathic surgery. MethodsA literature review and semi-structured interviews were conducted to construct a conceptual framework and an item pool, followed by expert and patient surveys for measure construction. We conducted a clinical investigation to test the feasibility, reliability, and content validity of this measure. ResultsThe conceptual framework included four domains: psychological health, physiological health, social function, and satisfaction, and 33 items were included in the survey. Following the expert analysis, 31 items remained in the draft. The clinical investigation showed a 100% recovery and completion rate and good reliability, with Cronman-Brown formula coefficients of 0.893 and 0.944, respectively. ConclusionsA new outcome measure to evaluate patients’ subjective feelings after orthognathic surgery was successfully developed, and the clinical investigation demonstrated that the PROM had satisfactory feasibility, reliability, and validity. Further studies are possible based on our PROM, and data on a larger scale may reveal more information on patients’ subjective feelings about orthognathic surgery. Clinical significanceThe novel PROM provides a systematic and scientific way to evaluate the patient's subjective feelings to help surgeons obtain complete patient-reported information after orthognathic surgery. Additionally, standardised multicentre research on patients’ subjective feelings using our PROM is possible and could improve the effectiveness of the evaluation and help maintain treatment quality.

A case for a quantum informed approach to health communication research

Foundational social science has dominated health communication research, especially in the mainstream of Western scholarship. Alternative ways of conceptualizing, including most if not all indigenous ways of thinking, have often been relegated to second class status, if regarded at all. For those who questioned prevailing wisdom in the past, the choice regarding theory and research seemed to be one of going in a more interpretive or critical direction and leaving “science” behind or staying within a framework they found wanting in many ways. Ironically, the work of such Communication scholars as Pearce, Dutta, and others, often born from interpretative and critical perspectives, is much more consonant with quantum framed science than social science as practiced. Indeed, much of the body of indigenous perspectives align with quantum theory informed science better than social science as practiced. As we move through the 21st century, it is time that communication theory and research, especially in health communication, moves to reclaim science in ways that shift us from a Newtonian understanding of the world to more a quantum paradigm. As we do so, we will likely find that many who have been on the margins can and should move their work to the mainstream, albeit with a process that synthesizes their work with quantum science. This would help us move forward in ways that not only invite more inclusion, but also create more meaningful ways of conceptualizing communication and its relationship to health.

Adult STEM Education for Democratic Participation

Many key concerns require engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) knowledge. Consider the complexity and nuance of climate change, energy policy, health and medicine, and data security. Informed voting or decision-making on such issues is no easy task; effective participation in our society requires considerable STEM capabilities. Education of all age groups is essential for a scientifically knowledgeable population involved in making democratic decisions about the future. Lindeman argued for adult education learning processes hand-in-hand with democratic processes, yet, once adults leave formal education, there are woefully few opportunities for the general public to learn or engage with STEM content. Adult education as a field has an important obligation to continue to support adults’ STEM learning. This obligation includes helping scientists and STEM educators better connect to adult learners in informal and nonformal settings. This paper explores adult STEM education for democratic participation. We begin with an overview of adult STEM education, followed by STEM knowledge and skills, with a focus on the utility and value of scientific processes and ways of thinking. We then continue with the function of STEM learning in democratic processes followed by frameworks of adult STEM, specifically scientific literacy and place-based education, and conclude with implications and recommendations for adult education practice.

Antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic potentialities of leaves of Artabotrys hexapetalus, established by in silico analysis

BackgroundArtabotrys hexapetalus is a rare plant in the Indian subcontinent. This plant is used for different therapeutic purposes in folk medicine and many bioactive compounds are reported in this plant. Considering its traditional uses and the presence of medicinal compounds, we aimed to evaluate some pharmacological properties of its leaves along with in silico analysis in scientific ways. MethodsAntioxidant tests were conducted in both qualitative and quantitative ways. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide radicals scavenging with FeCl3 reducing properties of A. hexapetalus extract were carried out. Acetic acid-induced writhing, tail immersion, formalin-induced paw edema, and Brewer's yeast-induced pyrexia methods were followed to conduct peripheral analgesic, central analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic potentialities, respectively. Finally, molecular docking and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analysis of reported compounds were conducted. ResultsThe A. hexapetalus extract was found to possess a quite good amount of phenolics, flavonoids, and tannins. This extract also revealed good radical scavenging effects along with ferric chloride-reducing capabilities. In the analgesic tests, the extract showed excellent responses in writhing inhibition and elongation in tail withdrawal time. The extract also significantly lessened paw edema over time at both doses. A notable decrease in body temperature was also observed. Those responses revealed nice pharmacological potentialities. Along with these findings and conducting in silico analysis, we finally proposed seven molecules as lead compounds. ConclusionOur analysis revealed that A. hexapetalus leaves are highly enriched with antioxidants and the extract showed good pharmacological characteristics.
