AbstractThis Podcast features an interview with Mikel Garcia-Marcos, author of a Research Article that appears in the 12 April 2016 issue of Science Signaling, about how mutations in a G protein cause auriculo-condylar syndrome (ACS). ACS is caused by mutations that affect signaling through the endothelin type A receptor (ETAR) and is characterized by craniofacial abnormalities resulting from defects in neural crest development. ETAR is a G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) that signals primarily through heterotrimeric G proteins containing Gαq/11, but mutations in Gαi3 are also associated with ACS. Marivin et al. found that ETAR coupled to ACS-associated mutant forms of Gαi3 instead of coupling to Gαq/11. These mutant forms of Gαi3 lacked enzymatic activity and thus blocked ETAR signaling.Listen to Podcast

Astrophysics is a bough of space science that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to explain planets, galaxies, the birth, life, death of stars, nebulae and other objects in the universe. Astrophysics creates physical theories of small to medium-size structures in the universe. Astrophysicists seek to understand the universe and our place in it. At NASA, the objective of astrophysics be “to discover how the universe work, explore how it began & evolved, and search for life on planets around other stars.” The h index was suggested in 2005 by Jorge E. Hirsch, a physicist at University of California, San Diego (UCSD ).The h-index is a factor determining both the quantity and the quality of a scientist’s research output. The h-index can be calculated without human intervention in Scopus and Web of Science or manually in other databases that give citation information (e.g., PsychINFO, SciFinder, Google Scholar). The index is based on a list of publications ranked in descending array by the number of citations these publications received. The value of h is equal to the number of papers (N) in the list that have N or more citations. This study analyzes the h index of Astrophysics research output in India from the year 1989-2016. The data was downloaded from Web of Science database which was maintained by Thomson Reuters. The findings of the study revealed that the author S.Banerjee has published 12 papers with 12 or more citations. Followed by the author A.Kumar has published 11 papers with 11 or more citations.

Abstract This article introduces a double issue comprising 11 papers about Babylonian and Egyptian priests and scholarship between ca. 600 bce and 200 ce. They constitute the proceedings of the workshop “Scholars, Priests, and Temples: Babylonian and Egyptian Science in Context”, which was held at the Humboldt University Berlin, 12–14 May 2016, with support of the Excellence Cluster TOPOI. The workshop brought together Assyriologists and Egyptologists with expertise in Babylonian and Egyptian scholarship, priesthoods and temple institutions. All contributions have been revised and updated since then. The present contribution offers a brief introduction on previous research, cross-cultural interactions, economic aspects, royal patronage, and internal developments of Babylonian and Egyptian temple scholarship, followed by short summaries of the papers.

ABSTRACTObjective:Disaster-related research funding in the United States has not been described. This study characterizes Federal funding for disaster-related research for 5 professional disciplines: medicine, public health, social science, engineering, emergency management.Methods:An online key word search was performed using the website, www.USAspending.gov, to identify federal awards, grants, and contracts during 2011–2016. A panel of experts then reviewed each entry for inclusion.Results:The search identified 9145 entries, of which 262 (3%) met inclusion criteria. Over 6 years, the Federal Government awarded US $69 325 130 for all disaster-related research. Total funding levels quadrupled in the first 3 years and then halved in the last 3 years. Half of the funding was for engineering, 3 times higher than social sciences and emergency management and 5 times higher than public health and medicine. Ten (11%) institutions received 52% of all funding. The search returned entries for only 12 of the 35 pre-identified disaster-related capabilities; 6 of 12 capabilities appear to have received no funding for at least 2 years.Conclusion:US federal funding for disaster-related research is limited and highly variable during 2011–2016. There are no clear reasons for apportionment. There appears to be an absence of prioritization. There does not appear to be a strategy for alignment of research with national disaster policies.

The present article involves a qualitative study of the framing of dementia in ‘Alzheimer’s and Dementia’, the Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, published in 2016. The aim of this study is to elucidate how dementia is framed qualitatively in the corpus consisting of scientific articles involving dementia published in ‘Alzheimer’s and Dementia’. The results of the qualitative analysis indicate that dementia is represented in ‘Alzheimer’s and Dementia’ in 2016 as the frames associated with gender, age, costs, caregiver and care-recipients, disability and death, health policy, spatial orientation, medical condition, and ethnic groups. These findings are further discussed in the article. References Andrews, J. (2011). We need to talk about dementia. Journal of Research in Nursing, 16(5),397–399. Aronowitz, R. (2008).

The lists of all authors (with total publications (TP), total citations (TC), publications years, h-index, g-index and m-index), all universities (with TP) and countries (with TP) are provided in supplementary table 1. All publications (n=190) received 174 total citations with 6 h-index. Similarly for 2021 the Citescore, SJR and SNIP were found to be to 0.4, 0.161 and 0.367, respectively. In a short span of only six years, it has achieved considerable rankings in general computer science (193/226), general physics and astronomy (200/233) and general materials sciences (402/455). The success could be attributed to the entire editorial board, reviewers, and authors around the world.

Many studies use Ocean Health Index (OHI) calculations on global and regional scales. There was still a dearth of research that used a framework to examine the local level. Meanwhile, policies to achieve environmental management objectives for marine ecosystems will be more applicable locally. This study aims to discover the most appropriate benchmark for OHI calculations on a local scale, namely by reviewing manuscripts from 2012 to 2022 based on geography, publication field, resolution, and data sources. The data were used to determine benchmarks for OHI calculations based on manuscripts published. One thousand five hundred manuscripts were discovered and verified via the Clarivate Analytics Web of Knowledge. We discovered 26 manuscripts each: 12 global, 11 regional, and three local. The trend of manuscripts increased in 2014, 2016, and 2021. Most manuscripts were published in journals focused on multidisciplinary natural resources management and environmental science. The rest of the manuscripts were published in earth and planetary science, ecological science, environment management, biochemistry, and energy journals. The widespread use of OHI requires each country to create comparable measurement techniques by changing the OHI to include factors and indications relevant to each country, including Indonesia.

This study aims to develop an activity-based science learning model with an inquiry learning approach for early childhood that can be used to increase the sense of curiosity and scientific thinking in children aged 5-6 years. This research was conducted with research and development / R & D research methods. Data was collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, pre-test and post-test for children. Data analysis using paired t-test. The results showed that children were interested and enthusiastic in the learning process by using a science-based learning model with the inquiry approach, Sig. (2-tailed) showing results of 0.000, so the value of 0.000 <0.05 was different from before and after the use of learning models. The results showed that: children can understand the material given by the teacher, the child is more confident and has the initiative to find answers to the teacher's questions about science material, the child's curiosity increases to examine the information provided by the teacher, the child's understanding of work processes and procedures from science learning with the inquiry approach getting better. It was concluded that an activity-based science learning model with an inquiry approach for children aged 5-6 years used an activity model with an inquiry learning approach based on children's interests and children's needs so that children's curiosity would emerge and continue to be optimally stimulated.

The pharmaceutical industry has made great strides in providing drugs that are able to stimulate the healing process, but only 1–3% of all drugs that are listed in Western pharmacopoeias are intended for use on the skin or cutaneous wounds. Of these, at least one-third are obtained from plants. We sought to review the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants on human skin lesions. For this systematic review, we searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify clinical trials that were published from 1997 to 2017. We reviewed studies that described the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of skin lesions in humans. Ten studies were selected, eight of which were published from 2007 to 2016, with a total of 503 patients. Among the plant species that were used for the treatment of human skin lesions, 12 belonged to 11 families and were included in the analysis. All of the plant species that were studied presented high therapeutic potential for the treatment of cutaneous lesions.

Under conditions of a relatively cool and humid growing season in the central agro-climatic region of the Komi Republic, corn is not inferior in terms of growth rate and photosynthetic activity, traditionally cultivated under the conditions of the northern Non-Black Earth region crops. The purpose of the research is to study the possibility and prospects of growing early ripe corn hybrids in the soil and climatic conditions of the Komi Republic. Field experience was established on the basis of the Institute of Agriculture of Komi Science Centre of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2016-2017 on an area of 1.6 hectares. In 2016, 6 varieties of corn were studied, and in 2017, in addition to them, another 15. Thus, out of 21 varieties and hybrids, 7 varieties were selected for further study. The article presents the results of a preliminary study of the ecological testing of early-ripening hybrids of corn when cultivating them in agroclimatic conditions of the Komi Republic. The features of growth and development of corn hybrids, formation of the green mass harvest are considered. As a result of the research, the Uralskiy 150 with the best fodder characteristics was identified among the studied hybrids. Uralsky 150 formed 11-12 leaves with a specific leaf density of 0.30 g/dm2. The LAI of the cenosis was 4 m2/m2. The maximum rate of photosynthesis of the leaves was 17 mol CO /m2s. The average for two years the yield of green mass 2 of the studied variety sample and hybrids of corn was amounted to 380 centner/ha. The dry matter content in biomass did not exceed 20%, the content of crude protein reached 12%, and fiber 29%.

AbstractIntroduction:NIH Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs) include KL2 mentored career development awards for faculty commencing clinical and translational research. A survey of KL2 leaders revealed program practices, curricular elements and compelling data about scholar characteristics and outcomes.Methods:We conducted a literature review, framed the survey construct, and obtained input from across the CTSA consortium. A REDCap survey was emailed in fall 2016 to 61 active programs.Results:Fifty-five programs (90.2%) responded. Respondents had been funded from 3 to 11 years, including 22 “mature” hubs funded for ≥8 years. Program cohort sizes were 56% “small”, 22% “medium”, and 22% “large.” Hubs offer extensive competency-aligned training opportunities relevant to clinical and translational research, including graduate degrees, mentorship, and grant-writing. Seventy-two percent of hubs report parallel “KL2-equivalent” career development programs. All hubs share their training and facilitate intermingling with other early stage investigators. A total of 1,517 KL2 scholars were funded. KL2 awardees are diverse in their disciplines, research projects, and representation; 54% are female and 12% self-identified as underrepresented in biomedical research. Eighty-seven percent of scholars have 2–3 mentors and are currently supported for 2–3 years. Seventy-eight percent of alumni remain at CTSA institutions in translational science. The most common form of NIH support following scholars’ KL2 award is an individual career development award.Conclusions:The KL2 is a unique career development award, shaped by competency-aligned training opportunities and interdisciplinary mentorship that inform translational research pathways. Tracking both traditional and novel outcomes of KL2 scholars is essential to capture their career trajectories and impact on health.

Background Social networks are now essential tools for promoting research and researchers. However, there is no study investigating the link between presence or not on professional social networks and scientific publication or citation for a given researcher. Objective The objective of this study was to study the link between professional presence on social networks and scientific publications/citations among anesthesia researchers. Methods We included all the French full professors and associate professors of anesthesia. We analyzed their presence on the social networks Twitter (professional account with ≥1 tweet over the 6 previous months) and ResearchGate. We extracted their bibliometric parameters for the 2016-2020 period via the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) database in the Science Citation Index-Expanded index. Results A total of 162 researchers were analyzed; 42 (25.9%) had an active Twitter account and 110 (67.9%) a ResearchGate account. There was no difference between associate professors and full professors regarding active presence on Twitter (8/23 [35%] vs. 34/139 [24.5%], respectively; P=.31) or ResearchGate (15/23 [65%] vs. 95/139 [68.3%], respectively; P=.81). Researchers with an active Twitter account (median [IQR]) had more scientific publications (45 [28-61] vs. 26 [12-41]; P<.001), a higher h-index (12 [8-16] vs. 8 [5-11]; P<.001), a higher number of citations per publication (12.54 [9.65-21.8] vs. 10.63 [5.67-16.10]; P=.01), and a higher number of citations (563 [321-896] vs. 263 [105-484]; P<.001). Researchers with a ResearchGate account (median [IQR]) had more scientific publications (33 [17-47] vs. 26 [9-43]; P=.03) and a higher h-index (9 [6-13] vs. 8 [3-11]; P=.03). There was no difference between researchers with a ResearchGate account and those without it concerning the number of citations per publication and overall number of citations. In multivariate analysis including sex, academic status, and presence on social networks, the presence on Twitter was associated with the number of publications (β=20.2; P<.001), the number of citations (β=494.5; P<.001), and the h-index (β=4.5; P<.001). Conclusions Among French anesthesia researchers, an active presence on Twitter is associated with higher scientific publication and citations.

Abstract We present results from the first 22 GHz space very long baseline interferometric (VLBI) imaging observations of M87 by RadioAstron. As a part of the Nearby AGN Key Science Program, the source was observed in 2014 February at 22 GHz with 21 ground stations, reaching projected (u, v) spacings up to ∼11 Gλ. The imaging experiment was complemented by snapshot RadioAstron data of M87 obtained during 2013–2016 from the AGN Survey Key Science Program. Their longest baselines extend up to ∼25 Gλ. For all of these measurements, fringes are detected only up to ∼2.8 Earth diameter or ∼3 Gλ baseline lengths, resulting in a new image with angular resolution of ∼150 μas or ∼20 Schwarzschild radii spatial resolution. The new image not only shows edge-brightened jet and counterjet structures down to submilliarcsecond scales but also clearly resolves the VLBI core region. While the overall size of the core is comparable to those reported in the literature, the ground-space fringe detection and slightly superresolved RadioAstron image suggest the presence of substructures in the nucleus, whose minimum brightness temperature exceeds T B , min ∼ 10 12 K. It is challenging to explain the origin of this record-high T B , min value for M87 by pure Doppler boosting effect with a simple conical jet geometry and known jet speed. Therefore, this can be evidence for more extreme Doppler boosting due to a blazar-like small jet viewing angle or highly efficient particle acceleration processes occurring already at the base of the outflow.

Artikel review ini mengulas tentang prinsip dan proses metabolisme karbohidrat, lipid, protein dan asam nukeat pada organisme. Telaah pustaka yang disajikan dalam review ini bersumber pada jurnal ilmiah maupun buku terakreditasi yang relevan. Lintasan metabolisme karbohidrat, lipid, protein, asam nukleat terdiri atas tiga bentuk lintasan yakni katabolik, anabolik dan amfibolik. Lintasan tersebut umumnya terjadi pada mitokondria melalui siklus Krebs. Katabolisme protein, karbohidrat dan lemak dapat menjadi derivat asam amino, glukosa, gliserol dan asam lemak yang mampu dikonversi menjadi energi maupun cadangan energi untuk proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangan sel. Demikian sebaliknya proses anabolisme dapat memanfaatkan derivat makro molekul (asam amino, glukosa, fruktosa, asam lemak) menjadi makro molekul (protein, karbohidrat dan lipid). Proses metabolisme karbohidrat secara khusus melalui glikolisis, glikogenesis dan glukoneogenesis. Sedangkan metabolisme lemak melalui proses asetil-KoA terkarboksilase dan menghasilkan malonil-KoA hingga berlanjut pada proses pembentukan asam lemak melalui proses enzimatis (elongase dan desaturase). Demikian pula pada metabolisme protein yang diawali dengan pemecahan makro molekul dalam bentuk peptida menjadi monomer terkecil (asam amino) secara enzimatis (melibatkan enzim protease) dan menjadi salah satu sumber energi dalam pembentukan ATP untuk perkembangan sel. Sebaliknya anabolisme protein tersebut didasari oleh proses transmisi dan aminasi. Metabolisme asam nukleat melibatkan proses sintesis purin dan pirimidin sebagai nukleotida secara de novo. Proses metabolisme asam nukleat melaui proses enzimatik (housekeeping) yang sangat bertanggungjawab terhadap fungsi katabolisme dan anabolisme. Referensi: [1] Wali, J. A., Milner, A. J., Luk, A.

The remarkable flexibility, stable chemical structure, and extraordinary thermal, electrical, and optical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising for a variety of applications in flexible and/or high-temperature electronics, optoelectronics, and thermoelectrics, including wearables, refractory photonics, and waste heat harvesting [1]. However, the long-standing goal in the preparation of CNT ensembles is how to maintain the extraordinary properties of individual CNTs on a macroscopic scale. The polydispersity and randomness remain two main challenges. Here, we will discuss different methods for creating macroscopically aligned CNTs, including spontaneous formation of wafer-scale aligned CNT films via controlled vacuum filtration [2-4] and production of ultrahigh-conductivity CNT fibers and films through solution spinning and coating [5,6]. We will then describe the optical [2,7-11], dc and ac electrical [2,12-17], thermal [18], and thermoelectric [19-21] properties of these materials. These results are promising for device applications in various fields such as flexible CNT broadband detectors [22-26], spectrally selective thermal emitters [11], and thermoelectric devices [20,21].

Using the example of the UV-excited Ca9KMg(PO4)7:1% Eu2+ phosphor, methods for characterizing the color quality of the light emitted by it at different operating temperatures are described. The effect of adopting two different colorimetric observers established by the International Commission on Illumination (i.e., the CIE 1931 observer with a viewing angle of two degrees and the CIE 2015 observer with a viewing angle of ten degrees) on the position of the chromaticity point of light emitted by phosphor is discussed. It was demonstrated that using the CIE 2015 photometric observer to determine the position of the chromaticity point, the tested phosphor is characterized by smaller changes in the color of emitted light as a function of operating temperature than when using the CIE 1931 observer.

Access to a body of published research is important to the development of research and to inform quality patient care. Measures of such activities are determined by bibliometric analysis of publication databases. This project aims to identify the scope of such publications in vascular ultrasound and its implications for the ultrasound professionals. Major databases were surveyed to identify the range of publications in “vascular ultrasound” from 2016 to 2018. The topics, sources, and relevance of the publications were noted along with recognized impact factors and other parameters. A list of target journals was created in radiology, ultrasound, and clinical vascular spheres. These journals were assessed for bibliometric parameters, total number of articles, and articles specific to vascular ultrasound. Web of Science was used over a 3-year period to identify 4136 articles (1421, 1384, and 1326 in each of 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively). This search returned 414 pages; of these, 2-page analysis revealed 15% were relevant to vascular ultrasound practice. Of the 21 “highly cited” articles, one was related to carotid ultrasound and one was aortic practice guidelines. Of the 31 targeted journals (radiology, 5; ultrasound, 16; vascular surgery, 7; vascular medicine, 3), 3873 articles were published; 123 (3.2%) were relevant to vascular ultrasound. The maximum vascular ultrasound content in any one journal was 8%. The activities were guidelines, 11; cases, 7; and mixed other, 105. The topics were carotid, 30; arterial, 17; aorta, 7; venous, 16; education, 12; and other, 41. The impact factor was 0.36 to 16.8 (median = 2.1). None of the targeted journals nor the major databases have much content in vascular ultrasound. The choice of journal for publication should be determined by potential audience rather than the journal itself. As a tool for an environment scan of trends in vascular ultrasound, no journal serves well.

ObjectivesAs countries have scaled up access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, attrition rates of up to 30% annually have created a large pool of individuals who initiate treatment with prior ART experience. Little is known about the proportion of non-naïve reinitiators within the population presenting for treatment initiation.DesignSystematic review of published articles and abstracts reporting proportions of non-naïve adult patients initiating ART in sub-Saharan Africa.Data sourcesPubMed, Embase Elsevier, Web of Science Core Collection, International AIDS Society conferences, Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections conferences.Eligibility criteriaClinical trials and observational studies; reporting on adults in sub-Saharan Africa who initiated lifelong ART; published in English between 1 January 2018 and 11 July 2023 and with data collected after January 2016. Initiator self-report, laboratory discernment of antiretroviral metabolites, and viral suppression at initiation or in the medical record were accepted as evidence of prior exposure.Data extraction and synthesisWe captured study and sample characteristics, proportions with previous ART exposure and the indicator of previous exposure reported. We report results of each eligible study, estimate the risk of bias and identify gaps in the literature.ResultsOf 2740 articles, 11 articles describing 12 cohorts contained sufficient information for the review. Proportions of initiators with evidence of prior ART use ranged from 5% (self-report only) to 53% (presence of ART metabolites in hair or blood sample). The vast majority of screened studies did not report naïve/non-naïve status. Metrics used to determine and report non-naïve proportions were inconsistent and difficult to interpret.ConclusionsThe proportion of patients initiating HIV treatment who are truly ART naïve is not well documented. It is likely that 20%–50% of ART patients who present for ART are reinitiators. Standard reporting metrics and diligence in reporting are needed, as is research to understand the reluctance of patients to report prior ART exposure.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022324136.

In this letter the possibility of low-cost fabrication of molds for PDMS-based photonic microstructures is considered. For this purpose, three different commercially available techniques, namely UV-curing of the capillary film, 3D SLA printing and micromilling, have been analyzed. Obtained results have been compared in terms of prototyping time, quality, repeatability, and re-use of the mold for PDMS-based microstructures fabrication. Prospective use for photonic systems, especially optofluidic ones infiltrated with liquid crystalline materials, have been commented. Full Text: PDF References:K. Sangamesh, C.T. Laurencin, M.

Properties of heteroepitaxial thin films are often dependent on the method and conditions for deposition[1]. In that respect, the electrochemical growth represents energetically different approach as compared to conventional vacuum deposition methods. It offers unique advantages, which can be exploited to get high quality ultra-thin films. The obvious one is that process occurs at an ambient temperature, which allows growth of heteroepitaxial metal overlayers while preserving the integrity of the interface. In recent years, significant progress has been made in controlling the thin film growth modes[2],[3],[4]. Various approaches to manipulate growth kinetics and enhance the evolution of atomically flat epitaxial overlayers were discovered[5],[6],[7]. Some of these findings were successfully implemented in electrochemical epitaxial growth resulting in development of deposition protocols such as Defect Mediated Growth (DMG)[8],[9], Surfactant Mediated Growth (SMG)[10] and growth via Surface Limited Redox Replacement (SLRR)[11],[12] with its sub-derivatives such as SEBALD, ECALD, ECALE, E-less ALD. These methods are used extensively by practitioners in different areas to synthesize monolayer or nanocluster catalysts and ultra-thin films with different compositions and applications. In this talk, we will review current perspective and progress on electrochemical epitaxial growth. Discussion will focus on fundamental and practical details of the relevant phenomena about UPD, SMG, DMG, SLRR and E-less ALD using examples and challenges that are facing researchers in these areas. If time allowed, some out of the box idea will be posted opening podium for discussion. References [1]. D. L. Smith, Thin-Film Deposition, McGraw-Hill, New York (1997). [2]. Z. Zhang and M.G.

AbstractThe effect of fruit and vegetable intake on breast cancer prognosis is controversial. Thus, a meta-analysis was carried out to explore their associations. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, OVID, ProQuest and Chinese databases from inception to April 2016. The summary hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % CI were estimated using a random effects model if substantial heterogeneity existed and using a fixed effects model if not. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were also performed. In total, twelve studies comprising 41 185 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Comparing the highest with the lowest, the summary HR for all-cause mortality were 1·01 (95 % CI 0·72, 1·42) for fruits and vegetables combined, 0·96 (95 % CI 0·83, 1·12) for total vegetable intake, 0·99 (95 % CI 0·89, 1·11) for cruciferous vegetable intake and 0·88 (95 % CI 0·74, 1·05) for fruit intake; those for breast cancer-specific mortality were 1·05 (95 % CI 0·77, 1·43) for total vegetable intake and 0·94 (95 % CI 0·69, 1·26) for fruit intake; and those for breast cancer recurrence were 0·89 (95 % CI 0·53, 1·50) for total vegetable intake and 0·98 (95 % CI 0·76, 1·26) for cruciferous vegetable intake. This meta-analysis found no significant associations between fruit and vegetable intake and breast cancer prognosis.

Background: Emergency contraception are birth control measures that, if taken after unprotected sexual intercourse, contraceptive failure, incorrect use of contraceptives or in cases of sexual assault may prevent pregnancy. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of female living in urban part of Lucknow district from September 2015 to August 2016.Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at RML Hospital, Lucknow from September 2015 to August 2016. A cross sectional study design was conducted and Participants were selected using simple random sampling method. Data was collected by using self-administered questionnaires. Data processing and analysis: The collected data was entered into a computer and analyzed using statistical package of social science version 20.0.Results: In this study it was found that, Out of 385 subjects 54% (209) new the correct time interval for EC to be effective and 91% (350) new that this is for prevention of unplanned pregnancy. Out of 385 subjects 77% (345) reported that they had heard the word EC from different sources, however 23% (90) reported that they never heard about that it means that still there is a scope of health awareness activities and health education to improve the knowledge of EC. Different attitudes of females towards emergency contraception some different pair of questions was asked. Out of 385 subjects 85% (329) were reported that they have positive attitudes in terms of benefits of EC to reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy. A few number of subjects i.e. 12% (48) reported negative attitudes towards EC where as 3 % (8) did not respond. The more than half subjects i.e. 68% (260) reported that they use EC even if their partners disagreed with them where as 11% (41). Cultural belief was found as an barrier in having negative attitudes towards EC. The Religion, Occupation and educational status affect knowledge and attitudes towards EC.Conclusions: The results show that there is a scope of health awareness activities and health education to improve the knowledge and attitude towards EC.

The overexploitation of fossil fuels in producing energy caused significant impact to nature. The accumulation of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels threatened the ozone layer and enhanced the impact of global warming. Furthermore, fossil fuel was predicted to be depleted soon. Due to those reasons, many researchers have been looking for environmental-friendly energy sources. There have been various renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower energy discovered. However, it was difficult to find a highly efficient and economical energy source [1-12]. Among those energy sources, hydrogen has arisen as a potential candidate. Hydrogen has an energy density three times higher than that of gasoline and diesel, and its combusted byproduct is water vapor. The main hindrance of utilizing this energy is difficulty in finding an economical and effective method of storing hydrogen. Hydrogen was often stored in liquid form at high pressure and extremely low temperature conditions. This method costs much energy and requires advanced utility systems. Another method which is also applied in storing hydrogen gas is known as physisorption. In this method, the hydrogen gas will be stored in the materials at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. In this study, we investigated the capability of two carbon materials, activated carbon and multiwalled carbon nanotubes, in adsorbing hydrogen. The hydrogen adsorption process and surface area of each material was examined by Micromeritics ASAP 2020. Each material was characterized by Powdered X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Even though activated carbons (AC) had surface area (~ 870 m2/g) much higher than that of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) (~ 119 m2/g), the percentage of uptake hydrogen per gram of activated carbon (2%) was lower than that of carbon nanotubes (7%). The pore size of AC was smaller than that of MWCNT. This study provided some insights about the effects of physical and chemical properties of carbon materials on their hydrogen adsorption ability.

An ever-increasing global focus on sustainable practices has led scientists to explore hydrogen as a fuel source [1-12]. As the most abundant element in the universe, diatomic hydrogen gas can be combusted to produce energy and water as biproducts. The main hinderance to a widespread hydrogen economy is difficulty in storing the dangerous gas. Currently the two most common ways to store hydrogen are in compressed gas tanks and in refrigerated tanks as a liquid. A less common method of storing hydrogen is via causing other materials to absorb the gas within their chemical structure through a process known as physisorption.Carbon based materials are highly promising for sustainable chemistry as they are typically cheap to produce, and some studies have already begun to explore their ability to aid in hydrogen generation reactions.This study aims to compare the ability of two carbon-based materials, graphite flakes and graphene, to adsorb hydrogen gas. Graphene as two-dimensional (2-D) structure was chosen for its well-known high surface area. Graphite flakes as three-dimensional (3-D) structure were chosen for comparison as they are a precursor in the synthesis of graphene. Micromeritics ASAP 2020 was used to determine the hydrogen uptake of the two materials. Volumetric hydrogen adsorption isotherms were measured at 77 K and up to 1 bar. Hydrogen gas sorption isotherms were obtained using ultra-high purity grade (99.999%) gas. Before analysis, the pre-treated samples (0.2000 g) were outgassed in the analysis tube under vacuum (down to 10-7 bar) with heating up to 120 °C, which is sufficient to remove solvent molecules without thermal decomposition or loss of samples integrity. The adsorption study indicated that graphene had a weight percent adsorbed of 16 %H₂/g while graphite flakes only had a weight percent adsorbed of 7 %H₂/g. It is likely that the higher surface area of graphene allowed it to adsorb more hydrogen gas than the graphite flakes. This study gives some insight into different materials and their hydrogen adsorption capability. Future work could explore more materials to determine which is the best for hydrogen storage.

The present report addresses a topic that is a key factor for the quality of the education in universities. The outcome this education depends on the degree of students’ academic motivation and results in their readiness for certain profession. The material presents the results from a study conducted in the period 2016-2019 among 45 students in their second and third year of studies in the subject „Physical Education and Sport“ at the Sofia University „St. Kliment Ohridski“ Faculty of Science, Education and Arts and 39 students also studying „Physical Education“ but at the National Sports Academy „Vasil Levski“ Faculty of Pedagogy. As a research tool, was used a questionnaire designed for determining the academic motivation, developed by Angel Velichkov. The questionnaire contained 11 questions, of which 7 with positive and 4 with negative direction. The assessment was done through the 4-point Likert scale, where 0 is „completely disagree” and 3 is „completely agree”. In his work A. Velichkov places the degree of academic motivation within the following limits: 0-11 points – lack of academic motivation; 12-18 points – weak motivation; 19-24 points – moderate motivation, 25-33 points – strong academic motivation. The summaries are made both on universities and on each individual indicator for academic motivation, including: „Active attitude to the learning process“, „Internal self-discipline“ and „Strive to complement and broaden the obtained knowledge“. To determine the priorities of young people, we divided their statements that received the highest percentage of opinions „agree“ on the positively formulated questions and „disagree“ on the negative ones. The comparative analysis shows that the overall degree of academic motivation is not high among students from both Universities. However, students in both universities are convinced that active involvement in the learning process is required. Students are aware of the importance of the theoretical background they need to acquire during their studies. They are motivated to gain lasting knowledge and excellence in all subjects studied. Young people indicate that they complement and broaden their knowledge by seeking additional information and by consultations with university professors.

Інновації сприяють виробництву продуктів із новими або покращеними характеристиками, наданню більш якісних послуг, максимально відповідних людським потребам. Однак необхідно не лише розробити інновацію, а ще й комерціалізувати. Українські підприємства під час комерціалізації стикаються з проблемами політичної, економічної, соціальної нестабільності, стагнації економіки; відсутністю усталеної практики маркетингових досліджень для розуміння потреб ринку, фінансовими проблемами з пошуком інвесторів тощо. Нині існує ряд методів комерціалізації інновацій. Усі вони по-різному розвиваються в Україні. Науковий інтерес до комерціалізації інновацій зростає щороку. Так, у базі даних Web of science знайдено 2783 публікацій щодо комерціалізації інновацій, половина з них опубліковані протягом останніх 5 років. Метою цієї роботи є дослідження розвитку деяких методів комерціалізації інновацій в Україні. Дослідження проводилося на основі звітів Державної служби статистики України. Проти 2010 року кількість інноваційно активних підприємств та підприємств, що впроваджують інновації, 2019 року скоротилася вдвічі. При цьому кількість підприємств, що впроваджують інновації, на 12-13 % менша, ніж кількість інноваційно активних промислових підприємств. Кількість нових технологічних процесів, упроваджених у виробництво промисловими підприємствами, збільшилася на 13 %, а впровадженої інноваційної продукції скоротилася на 11 %. Витрати на інновації промислових підприємств зросли на 75 %, а обсяги реалізованої інноваційної промислової продукції лише на 1 %. Кількість кооперативів 2022 року скоротилася на 13 % (до 2013 року). Кількість франчайзерів 2020 року зросла на 42 % (до 2010 року). Кількість лізингодавців, юридичних осіб та фінансових компаній, що надають послуги фінансового лізингу в Україні, протягом 2015-2019 років зменшилася на 42 %. Вітчизняний ринок інжинірингу залишається на стадії становлення, однак має чималий резерв запровадження міжнародної практики реалізації інжинірингових проєктів. Загалом, починаючи з 2016 року, франчайзинг та кооперація зростають, серед інших способів комерціалізації інновацій спостерігається спад.

Background. Persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) are often characterized by increased motor fatigability, which is a performance change on an objectively measured criterion after any type of voluntary muscle contractions. This review summarizes the existing literature to determine which protocols and outcome measures are best to detect or study motor fatigability and the underlying mechanisms in MS. Methods. Two electronic databases, PubMed and Web of Science, were searched for relevant articles published until August 2016 with a combination of multiple sclerosis, fatigability, muscle fatigue, and motor fatigue. Results. A total of 48 articles were retained for data extraction. A variety of fatigability protocols were reported; protocols showed differences in type (isometric vs concentric), duration (15 to 180 s), and number of contractions (fixed or until exhaustion). Also, 12 articles reported motor fatigability during functional movements, predominantly assessed by changes in walking speed; 11 studies evaluated the mechanisms underlying motor fatigability, using additional electrical nerve or transcranial magnetic stimulation. Three articles reported psychometrics of the outcomes. Conclusions. The disparity of protocols and outcome measures to study different aspects of motor fatigability in PwMS impedes direct comparison between data. Most protocols use maximal single-joint isometric contractions, with the advantage of high standardization. Because there is no head-to-head comparison of the different protocols and only limited information on psychometric properties of outcomes, there is currently no gold standard to assess motor fatigability. The disability level, disease phenotype, and studied limb may influence the assessment of motor fatigability in PwMS.

In recent years, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) has received wide attention. STEAM complements early childhood learning needs in honing 2nd century skills. This study aims to introduce a loose section in early childhood learning to pre-service teachers and then to explore their perceptions of how to use loose parts in supporting STEAM. The study design uses qualitative phenomenological methods. FGDs (Focus Group Discussions) are used as data collection instruments. The findings point to two main themes that emerged from the discussion: a loose section that supports freedom of creation and problem solving. Freedom clearly supports science, mathematics and arts education while problem solving significantly supports engineering and technology education.

Abstract Objectives To determine through systematic review whether parental involvement in interventions to improve eating habits of children was more often associated with positive dietary behavior changes as compared to those with no or low involvement. Methods Web of Science, PsychInfo, PubMed, and EBSCO were searched for studies between 2004–2016 that aimed to change children's (2 to 12 years old) diet quality (diet quality; and 1 or more eating behavior component: fruit (F), vegetables (V), whole grains, lower saturated fat, lower sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), and intake of calcium-rich foods). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis were followed for this review. Parental involvement was classified as low, medium, or high involvement. Diet assessment tools were scored for their reliability and validity. The influence of theoretical framework on outcomes was not included in the current review. Results Of 443 papers, data was extracted from 156 randomized controlled trials, and 26 met inclusion criteria. Most studies focused on the intake of F and/or V or SSB. Most with low parental involvement reported no significant dietary change (12 of 15 diet measures in 8 studies). Half with medium/medium-high involvement found significant diet change (4 of 8 measures, 3 studies). More positive diet change resulted with high parental involvement (13 of 18 measures, 11 studies). All studies with no parental involvement reported significant positive changes except 1 (4 studies, 5 measures); 3 studies incorporated exposure to F&V, 1 aimed to lower SSB. Conclusions Increasing level of parental involvement supports dietary behavior change in children. Without parental involvement, repeated F&V exposure also increases intake. Nutrition professionals should engage parents at multiple time points in child dietary interventions to achieve positive dietary changes. Direct F&V exposure is an option if parental involvement is not feasible. Funding Sources This work was supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through Multistate Hatch Capacity Funds supporting the W-3005 research group and respective universities.

ObjectivesThe treatment of osteoporotic fractures is a major challenge, and the enhancement of healing is critical as a major goal in modern fracture management. Most osteoporotic fractures occur at the metaphyseal bone region but few models exist and the healing is still poorly understood. A systematic review was conducted to identify and analyse the appropriateness of current osteoporotic metaphyseal fracture animal models.Materials and MethodsA literature search was performed on the Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases, and relevant articles were selected. A total of 19 studies were included. Information on the animal, induction of osteoporosis, fracture technique, site and fixation, healing results, and utility of the model were extracted.ResultsFracture techniques included drill hole defects (3 of 19), bone defects (3 of 19), partial osteotomy (1 of 19), and complete osteotomies (12 of 19). Drill hole models and incomplete osteotomy models are easy to perform and allow the study of therapeutic agents but do not represent the usual clinical setting. Additionally, biomaterials can be filled into drill hole defects for analysis. Complete osteotomy models are most commonly used and are best suited for the investigation of therapeutic drugs or noninvasive interventions. The metaphyseal defect models allow the study of biomaterials, which are associated with complex and comminuted osteoporotic fractures.ConclusionFor a clinically relevant model, we propose that an animal model should satisfy the following criteria to study osteoporotic fracture healing: 1) induction of osteoporosis, 2) complete osteotomy or defect at the metaphysis unilaterally, and 3) internal fixation.

<p>Calorie restriction can occur as a consequence of food shortage due to natural calamities, war like situations or voluntarily for health benefits. This state of negative energy balance leads to decrease in performance and increase in feeling of hunger. A normal individual can sustain himself on stored energy in form of body fat for a period of time. It was hypothesised that use of an appetite suppressant like Hoodia gordonii along with L-carnintine, which helps in fat oxidation can be used as strategy for coping adverse situation without compromising physical performance. The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effect of H. gordonii and L-carnitine supplementation on metabolic changes and appetite regulatory peptides during calorie restriction. Male albino rats were divided into two groups (n=12 in each) i.e. control (without treatment) and treated (H. gordonii organic solvent extract and L-carnitine, orally for 5 days at a dose of 100 mg/kg under 25 per cent calorie restriction). Biochemical variables including regulatory peptides were estimated along with physical efficiency tests. Significant changes in ghrelin, leptin, corticosterone and thyroid hormones were observed in comparison to control. While blood glucose, AMP kinase decreased significantly in the treated group, an increase in CPT-1 activity was observed compared with controls. It is concluded that approach could be practically suitable and effective in emergency situations of combat or food shortage.</p><p><strong>Defence Science Journal, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 2016, pp. 11-18, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.66.9178</strong></p>

Sedangkan secara tidak langsung customer satisfaction menunjukkan hubungan yang positif signifikan dalam memediasi store image terhadap repurchase intention. Sehingga customer satisfaction memiliki peran partial mediation dalam peneltian ini. Penelitian ini diharapkan memiliki manfaat bagi perusahaan terkait maupun sejenis agar mampu melihat segala peluang yang ada disekitar dengan memanfaatkan setiap komponen maupun dimensi citra toko agar dapat dimanfaatkan secara maksimal untuk mencapai tujuan dari tiap-tiap perusahaan. Kata Kunci: Store Image, Customer satisfaction, Repurchase intention, Islamic Retail. ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the role of store image on repurchase intention at Karita Muslim Square Surabaya which is mediated by customer satisfaction. The sample used is 131 respondents who have purchased at Karita Muslim Square Surabaya. The test uses SEM-PLS with the first construct showing invalid results, so the test is continued with the second construct testing by eliminating several indicators, the evaluation results show that the variables in the construct directly have a significant positive effect. Meanwhile, customer satisfaction indirectly shows a significant positive relationship in mediating store image on repurchase intention. So customer satisfaction has a partial mediation role in this research. This research is expected to have benefits for related and similar companies so they are able to see all the opportunities that exist by utilizing every component and dimension of the store image so they can be utilized optimally to achieve the goals of each company.

Objective: To find the frequency and association of depression and suicidal ideation in young adults.Study design: A descriptive cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in different areas of Pakistan, including Lahore andKarachi with the main population participating from the Islamabad and Rawalpindi region from May 2016 toAugust 2016.Materials and Methods: Printed and online versions of the questionnaire were filled by conveniently availableyoung adults in different cities of Pakistan between the ages of 15-25 years. Questionnaires were designed inthree parts: Part 1 comprised demographics. Part 2 was the Goldberg Depression Questionnaire which is usedfor depression screening, while Part 3 was the SBQ-R® used to identify individuals having suicide ideation andthose at risk of carrying out a suicide attempt.Results: A high proportion of individuals were in the range of mild-moderate depression, 87 (43.7%), while ahigh proportion of individuals, 139 (69.8%), possessed a suicide score range of 3-6, which corresponds to a verylow suicide attempt risk. The highest suicide score was between 16-18 and was possessed by only 2 (1%)individuals, while the highest depression score, which was any value above 54, was possessed by 45 (22.6%)individuals. Also, with increasing suicide score, the frequency seemed to decrease; 32 (16.1%) for a score rangeof 7-9, 15 (7.5%) for 10-12 score range and 11 (5.5%) for a score range of 13-15. However, the correlationcoefficient between the two had a value of +0.5, so there was a marked positive correlation.Conclusion: The frequency of depression in young adults was considerably high since many of the participantswere exposed to mild, moderate as well as severe depression. Also, there was a positive correlation betweendepression and suicide scores which predicted that depression can be a cause of suicide ideation and attempts.As the depression levels increased, the frequency of suicide tendencies was also salient.

Background. Understanding the burden and trend of hypertension and the associated care cascade can provide direction to the development of interventions preventing and controlling hypertension. This study aimed to assess prevalence and trends of hypertension and its awareness, treatment, and control in Nepal. Methods. We systematically searched CINAHL, Embase, ProQuest, PubMed, Web of Science, WorldCat, and government and health agency-owned websites to identify studies reporting prevalence of hypertension, awareness, treatment, and control in Nepal between 2000 and 2020. We applied the random-effects model to compute the pooled prevalence in the overall population and among subgroups in each 5-year interval period between 2000 and 2020. We used linear meta-regression analysis to predict hypertension from 2000 to 2025. Results. We identified 23 studies having a total of 84,006 participants. The pooled prevalence of hypertension, awareness, treatment, and control for 2016–2020 was 32% (95% CI: 23–40%), 50% (95% CI: 30–69%), 27% (95% CI: 19–34%), and 38% (95% CI: 28–48%), respectively. The prevalence of hypertension varied by age, gender, education, and geographical area. Hypertension increased by 6 percentage points (pp), awareness increased by 12 pp, treatment increased by 11 pp, and control increased by 3 pp over the 20 years studied. Since 2000, the rate of increment of hypertension has been 3.5 pp per decade, where 44.7% of men are expected to suffer from hypertension by 2025. Conclusion. The markedly increased prevalence of hypertension and relatively poor progress in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control in Nepal suggest that there is a need for hypertension preventive approaches as well as strategies to optimize hypertension care cascade.

Objective To bring attention to the epidemiology, prevention, management, and consequences of surgical fires in otolaryngology by reviewing the literature. Data Sources PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus. Review Methods Comprehensive search terms were developed, and searches were performed from data source inception through August 2016. A total of 4506 articles were identified; 2351 duplicates were removed; and 2155 titles and abstracts were independently reviewed. Reference review was also performed. Eligible manuscripts described surgical fires involving patients undergoing otolaryngologic procedures. Results Seventy-two articles describing 87 otolaryngologic surgical fire cases were identified. These occurred during oral cavity or oropharyngeal procedures (11%), endoscopic laryngotracheal procedures (25%), tracheostomies (36%), “other” general anesthesia procedures (3%), and monitored anesthesia care or local procedures (24%). Oxidizing agents consisted of oxygen alone (n = 63 of 81, 78%), oxygen and nitric oxide (n = 17 of 81, 21%), and room air (n = 1 of 81, 1%). The fractional inspired oxygen delivered was >30% in 97% of surgical fires in non–nitrous oxide general anesthesia cases (n = 35 of 36). Laser-safe tubes were used in only 12% of endoscopic laryngotracheal cases with endotracheal tube descriptions (n = 2 of 17). Eighty-six percent of patients experienced acute complications (n = 76 of 87), including 1 intraoperative death, and 22% of patients (n = 17 of 77) experienced long-term complications. Conclusion Surgical fires in otolaryngology persist despite aggressive multi-institutional efforts to curb their incidence. Guideline recommendations to minimize the concentration of delivered oxygen and use laser-safe tubes when indicated were not observed in many cases. Improved institutional fire safety practices are needed nationally and internationally.

Children's stunting is a problem because it is associated with an increased risk of pain and death, suboptimal brain development resulting in late motor development, and inhibition of mental growth. This study aims to examine the factors that influence the occurrence of stunting and risk in children in Indonesia. The research method used is a traditional review. The results of the review found that many factors cause the high incidence of stunting in toddlers, including energy intake, birth weight, maternal knowledge level, family economic status, parental parenting, and food security. WHO estimates the prevalence of stunting worldwide at 22 percent or as many as 149.2 million in 2020. According to the Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (SSGI) results of the Ministry of Health, the prevalence of stunting in children under five in Indonesia reached 24.4% in 2021. The prevalence of stunting of toddlers in Indonesia continues to show a decline. In 2018 the prevalence of stunting toddlers was still 30.8%. Then, it dropped to 27.7 in 2019 and continued to fall to 24.4% in SSGI 2024. The government even targets to drop to 14% by the end of 2024. Furthermore, WHO also recommends reducing stunting by 3.9% per year to meet the target of 40% stunting reduction by 2025.

One of the cases handled by the Central Sulawesi Regional Police Investigators was the language crimes case in cyberspace, namely insult and/or defamation cases. In handling defamation cases on social media, such as: Facebook and WhatsApp, the Central Sulawesi Police investigators involved linguists or expert witnesses to reveal the meaning of language through forensic linguistic studies. Forensic linguistics was a linguistics branch which analyzed and researches language used as a tool of evidence in courts and the legal field. The linguistic methods application to legal issues was one of the forensic linguistics functions as an applied science where various linguistic theories could be applied in the linguistic samples analysis on the investigative process. The results study showed that it’s stated in the criminal procedure evidence form (BAP). Furthermore, in determining the articles to be charged by the language crimes perpetrators, the police investigators were guided by Law Number 19 of 2016 amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning ITE (as the old paradigm). Furthermore, a joint decree (SKB) by the Communication and Information Minister, the National Police Chief, and the Attorney General would serve as a guideline for the implementation criteria for the 2021 Electronic Information and Transaction Law (as a new paradigm). The study purpose was to reveal the results of the comparative analysis of linguists who still use the old paradigm with the new paradigm for handling cases of insults and/or defamation through social media at the Central Sulawesi Regional Police. The method used was descriptive qualitative method. The data collection technique used was a documentary study. The four copies form data of the BAP results from the forensic linguistic study would be compared or compared based on the old paradigm and the new paradigm. The BAP four copies which included five cases insult and/or defamation through Facebook as referred to in Article 27 paragraph (3) in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (3) of the Republic of Indonesia Law no. 16 of 2016 amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning electronic information and transactions, (a) Cases reported to the Central Sulawesi Regional Police based on police report number: LP/129/III/2017/SPKT, dated March 12 2017, (b) Cases reported to Central Sulawesi Regional Police based on police report number: LP/247/IV/2017/SPKT, dated May 08 2017, (c) Cases reported to Central Sulawesi Police based on police report number, LP/478/X/2017/SPKT, 28 October 2017, (d) Cases reported to Central Sulawesi Regional Police based on police report number LP/109/IV/2019/SPKT, 08 April 2019. The study results indicated that there were differences between the old paradigm and the new paradigm in determining legal policies (articles determination) on insult and/or defamation cases handling of five cases which had been handled by Central Sulawesi Regional Police investigators.

Experimental researches had been carried out during 2012–2016 in the crop rotation of Sumy National Agrarian University (SNAU) of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Soils on the experimental field of SNAU – black soil typical deep, non-humusful medium-loam with high and medium provision with elements of mineral nutrition. The humus content about 3.9 %. The reaction of the soil solution is close to neutral (5.8). The analysis of the weather conditions of 2012–2016 researches was conducted on the basis of annual data provided by the meteorological station of the Institute of Agriculture of the North-East of the NAAS, located five kilometers from the experimental field of SNAU. The SNAU soils are classified in the second agro-climatic region of the Sumy region, which according to a long-term data is characterized by temperate continental climate with warm summers and not very cold winters with thaws. Average daily (average annual) air temperature during 2012–2016 fluctuated from +7.9 to +9.5 ºС, and the legth of the frost-free period was close to 230 days. Long-term indicator, precipitation falls within 597–600 mm, with most of it – in the warm period (April-October). In general, the weather conditions during the winter wheat vegetation periods differed from the average annual parameters of the temperature regime, the amount of precipitation and their monthly distribution. It should be noted the excess of temperature to the average long-term index, as well as a slight precipitation increasing. In general, it facilitated to a comprehensive evaluation of the studied Chinese varieties as for an adaptive ability under condition of Ukraine. The samples of Chinese winter wheat varieties which originated from the expeditionary gatherings conducted by V. A. Vlasenko in Gansu and Hebei provinces in (2000–2012) were the material for conducting researches. The cultivar Podolianka (the standard) was used in the study for comparison. The research was carried out using field, laboratory and mathematical-statistical methods. Phenological observations and records, evaluation and harvesting were conducted in accordance with generally accepted methods. The results of research as for adaptive potential of Chinese bread winter wheat varieties are presented. 50 new cultivars of Chinese origin were analyzed under the conditions of left-bank side of North-East Forest-Steppe of Ukraine: super-early varieties – 10 %; early ripening varieties – 54 %; middle-early varieties – 12 %; mid-ripening varieties – 24 %. As for the level of tolerance for winter conditions, all groups of alien crops were inferior to the standard (cultivar Podolyanka) though they had a great level of index (6.4–7.9 points). In general, Chinese cultivars under the conditions of the research were characterized by relatively satisfactory tolerance for winter conditions; 52 % of analyzed patterns wintered at the level of standard with 8 points. Among them: super-early varieties – 2 %; early ripening varieties – 20 %; middle-early varieties – 8 %; mid-ripening varieties – 22 %. As for the height of the plants we identified – from medium-sized (81‒110 cm) forms to dwarf (30-50 cm). The analyzed genotypes divided into medium-sized forms – 22 %, dwarf forms – 14 % and semidwarf forms – 64 %. There was a direct relation between: a plant height → group of ripeness (r = 0.96) → group of ripeness (r = 0.92) → resistance to overwintering (r = 0.78). Among the analyzed patterns high resistance against a group of diseases had the varieties: middle-early genotypes – Longzhong 10, Zhong mai 19, Shijra zhuang 8; mid-ripening genotypes – Longzhong 1, Longzhong 3, Longzhong 2, Longzhong 4, Longzhong 12, Longzhong 7; early ripening genotypes – DF529, Lankao 906, DF581, СА0175, Zhongmai 9, Shi 4185, Jimai 22, Shixin 733, Shimai 12. As for the crop better than the standard: early ripening varieties –Jimai 19, DF529; middle-early varieties – Shijiazhuang 8, Longzhong 10, Jingdong 8; middle-early varieties – NSA 97-2082, Longzhong 2, Longzhong 4, Longzhong 7, Longzhong 5, Longzhong 8, Longzhong 12, Longzhong 11, Longzhong 3. 16 % of analyzed cultivars distinguished by the totality of researched characteristics – DF529, Shijiazhuang 8, Longzhong 3, Longzhong 10, Longzhong 4, Longzhong 7, Longzhong 12, Longzhong 2.
