Assessment of the impact of smoke from thermal destruction of materials of different origins on soil health.

The results of the study of the influence of smoke from the thermal destruction of materials of vegetable and synthetic origin on the enzymatic activity of ordinary chernozem are presented. The decrease of activity of investigated indicators (catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, invertase) from thermal destruction of pine sawdust, straw, coniferous and leaf fall, peat, and materials based on polystyrene, rubber, and polyvinyl chloride was revealed. A significant decrease in the activity of soil enzymes after exposure to gaseous products of combustion during 15-60 min of soil fumigation was found.

Evaluating the phytotoxicological effects of bulk and nano forms of zinc oxide on cellular respiration-related indices and differential gene expression in Hordeum vulgare L.

The increasing use of nanoparticles is driving the growth of research on their effects on living organisms. However, studies on the effects of nanoparticles on cellular respiration are still limited. The remodeling of cellular-respiration-related indices in plants induced by zinc oxide nanoparticles (nnZnO) and its bulk form (blZnO) was investigated for the first time.

Time Series Forecasting of Cardiovascular Mortality: Machine Learning Based on State Economic and Local Medical Data.

This study focuses on the complex interplay of healthcare, economic factors, and population dynamics, addressing a research gap in regional-level models that integrate diverse features within a temporal framework. Our primary objective is to develop an advanced temporal model for predicting cardiovascular mortality in Russian regions by integrating global and local healthcare features with economic and population dynamics. Utilizing a dataset from the Almazov Center's Department of Mortality Performance Monitoring, covering 94 regions and 752 records from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2023, our analysis incorporates key parameters such as angioplasty procedures, population morbidity rates, Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) monitoring, and demographic data.

Structural and mechanistic insights into the function of Leishmania ribosome lacking a single pseudouridine modification.

Leishmania is the causative agent of cutaneous and visceral diseases affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Pseudouridine (Ψ), the most abundant modification on rRNA, changes during the parasite life cycle. Alterations in the level of a specific Ψ in helix 69 (H69) affected ribosome function.

Hemocompatibility and Preangiogenic Attributes of SiBCNO Coatings for Biomedical Applications.

In current clinical practices related to orthopedics, dental, and cardiovascular surgeries, a number of biomaterial coatings, such as hydroxyapatite (HAp), diamond-like carbon (DLC), have been used in combination with metallic substrates (stainless steel, Ti6Al4V alloy, etc.). Although SiBCN coatings are widely explored in material science for diverse applications, their potential remains largely unexplored for biomedical applications.
