This article investigates the interrelationships and interdependencies inherent in the integrated use of the territory's social, resource, and environmental potential to achieve its sustainable development. The basic hypotheses formulated during this study were as follows: Sustainable development of the territory's resource and ecological potential cannot be achieved if its social potential is reduced; Sustainable development of the territory's ecological and social potential can be achieved only if it is economically feasible, that is if it contributes to the sustainable development of the territory's resource potential; Sustainable development of the territory's resource and social potential cannot be achieved while its ecological potential deteriorates; Ensured sustainable development of territories in today's world is only possible with simultaneous integrated use of the territory's social, resource, and environmental potential. The aim of this research is to investigate the interrelationships among these three components and to determine their impact on the overall development of the regions.

Gut , , and spp. as Possible Markers in Women-Related Nutritional and Clinical Trials: Familial Mediterranean Fever Disease.

Womens Health Rep (New Rochelle)

October 2024

Food Safety and Biotechnology Department, Scientific Research Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, Armenian National Agrarian University, Yerevan, Armenia.

Background: Studies have shown that the gut microbiota of healthy men and men with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) disease respond differently to placebo. Given the fact that the composition of the gut microbiota is different in men and women, this study aimed to describe in detail the placebo response of the gut microbiota in healthy and FMF women.

Materials And Methods: The bacterial response to placebo was fully evaluated on a previous PhyloChip™ DNA microarray-based assay (GEO Series; accession number GSE111835).

Electronic address:

The Ribosomal protein L18 (RPL18) protein gene family plays an important role in plant growth, development and stress response. Although the RPL18 genes have been identified in several plant species, the RPL18 gene family in wheat (Triticum aestivum) is still unexplored. This study found 8 TaRPL18 genes, each of which has a significantly different gene sequence length and is evenly distributed on the chromosome; Additionally, these proteins have similar physicochemical characteristics as well as secondary and tertiary structures.
