The trends in changing the content of sulfur and nitrogen in atmospheric precipitation in the territory of Minsk over an 18-year period are characterized on the basis of the analysis of the monitoring results of the chemical composition of atmospheric precipitation at the experimental site. A downtrend in the sulfur and nitrogen content combined with an uptrend in the precipitation acidity was identified. An average decrease (trend) in the content of sulfur in atmospheric precipitation for 2002–2019 was 0.019 mg S/dm3/year, of oxidized nitrogen – 0.008 mg/dm3, of reduced nitrogen – 0.019 mg/dm3. Over an 18-year period, the changes in the content of sulfur and nitrogen in atmospheric precipitation decreased the deposition of sulfur on average by 31.3 kg/km2/year, of oxidized nitrogen – by 15.4 kg/km2/year, of reduced nitrogen – by 25.6 kg/km2/year. It is shown that for the period from 2005 to 2012, the acidification potential of the natural environment decreased parallel to the reduction of the sulfur and nitrogen deposition; in the subsequent period, the trend of the acidification potential basically follows the trend of the precipitation of the main cations. It is revealed that the rates of average reduction in the content of oxidized sulfur and oxidized nitrogen in atmospheric precipitation in Minsk for the period from 2002 to 2017 are comparable to the rates of reduction of these compounds at the stations of the EMEP Program in Europe, and exceed those for reduced nitrogen.

Objective: To demonstrate the low efficiency in costs and timeframes in 22 investment projects (PIP) of the Regional Government of Moquegua and Arequipa, which generated higher costs and timeframes between the ex ante and ex post in the period 2004-2020. Method: Inductive, basic, not experimental. Results: Based on the Wilcoxon test, it was shown that the costs of 12 projects in Moquegua, before and after, were different with asymptotic significance (bilateral) 0.006, from 127 to 220 million; and the "t" test for related samples generated the significance (bilateral) of 0.000. It was observed that the average calculated in days was different, that the average of the ex ante period turned out to be 339 days while the average of the actual period was 2307 days. In 10 projects in Arequipa, the Wilcoxon test generated 0.007 and the costs went from 1030 to 1585 million soles; the difference in terms generated a p-value of wilcoxon of 0.004 from an average of 15.4 to 57.5 months. Conclusion: The costs of the previous and subsequent period are different, as are the proposed deadlines and actual deadlines in both regions.

Marriage can be viewed in economic terms as an investment, an outlay of capital by the man’s family before and at the time of the wedding which yields returns over the subsequent period. Returns take a variety of forms, depending on the rights and obligations associated with marriage in a given society. Bambara society in Kala is patriarchal, and lineage-based, in which bride-wealth is paid by the man’s family to that of the woman’s family. Control over childbearing is one of several rights which pass on marriage, along with a woman’s labour power, in the millet-field and in domestic arenas. A woman’s income and resources, and the links of support between her and her natal households, are also valuable elements which come with marriage. Being married is seen as a fundamental and necessary state, very few women remain unmarried for long, polygamy and widow inheritance are practiced, and rates of remarriage are very high. The chapter compares the costs of and returns from marriage. These costs and returns have been changing over time and do patterns of marriage. Marriage also faces certain risks, from mortality, illness, sterility, and marital breakdown.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in women worldwide and affects all dimensions of health. The aim of this meta-aggregative review is to describe the experience of diagnosis and the subsequent period of therapy of women with breast cancer. Following a systematic literature research, ten publications were included in the meta-aggregative review and the study results were synthesized by categorization. Emotional burden, challenges, psychosocial support, and individual coping strategies were described by affected women, and disease-related information sharing and fulfilment of expectations in health professionals were experienced as unsatisfactory. There is a need for improvement in the context of information and counseling measures by health professionals.

Abstract   The magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that the international community was not ready for a public health emergency of this scale. Countries around the world with varying demographic and economic situations struggle to deal with the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and hospitalisations. There has been a scramble for all types of resources, ranging from personal protective equipment, to testing capacity, to vaccines. During this workshop, we will present scientific research which focuses on how European countries have attempted to deal with these capacity shortages in the period of the first SARS-CoV-2 pandemic wave in European countries as well as the subsequent period. Each presentation will focus on a specific capacity or domain of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, they will also all provide information on what went well and what did not go well in the attempt to increase capacity. The objective of the workshop is twofold. Firstly, it is to provide the audience with scientific research which aims to have a better understanding of both the capacity issues which have been identified in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the (potential) solutions to increase capacity during inter-pandemic times and future pandemics. Secondly, it is to provide the opportunity for audience to discuss about the findings and interact with the authors. The structure of the workshop will be as follows: The session starts with two thought-provoking statements related to the first two presentations. The audience will be given the opportunity to react to these thoughts using a voting tool and via the chat. This will prime the audience for the upcoming presentations and invite them to participate interactively during the workshop. In the next 15 minutes, the first two presentations will take place. The presenters will end once again with the aforementioned statements. The audience will be given the opportunity to react by asking clarifying questions, respond to, or challenge the statements. After this discussion ends, the same process will take place for the next two presentations. Key messages During preparedness, more attention should be paid to the estimated capacity needs during response. The mobilization of existing resource capacity, and of mechanisms to upscale capacity when shortages are likely to occur, require more structured approaches.

This study examines banking industry stability in BRICS and G7 from the period 2005 to 2014. The results show that stability level in a prior period affects stability in the subsequent period. Also, the study reveals that competition improves stability, which validates the competition-stability proposition. Economic growth enhances stability in BRICS but not in G7. Inefficiency weakens stability in BRICS; however, its impact in G7 is insignificant. Profitability, capitalization, and inflation enhance stability in G7; however, they show no meaningful impacts in BRICS. These findings contribute to literature and policy discussion on banking industry stability JEL Codes: G21, G28, G32, L11

The article discusses topical issues of economic integration of Kazakhstan within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Individual indicators of the socio-economic development of the republic on the eve of joining the EAEU and in the subsequent period of Kazakhstan's presence in the integration association are analyzed, tables and diagrams are compiled, reflecting the dynamics of the development of the national economy. The main problems in the structure of the economy of Kazakhstan are highlighted and some mechanisms for their solution are proposed. It is concluded that the integration potential of Kazakhstan is not fully utilized, certain industries have not been developed in the context of international trade, and the development of cooperative ties with the EAEU countries requires the use of additional measures in the investment and industrial policy of Kazakhstan. At the same time, in the changing conditions of international trade, Kazakhstan has the opportunity to strengthen its position, and integration opportunities can become a driver of economic growth in the coming years despite criticism from skeptics.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Lactobacillus farciminis on growth traits and antioxidant status in preweaning and postweaning Tuj lambs. Twenty lambs were divided into four groups, regardless of gender, with a mean live weight of 7.81 ± 0.50 kg. At the start of the experiment, the average age of the lambs was seven days. During the six-week preweaning period, control (C) lambs were fed with colostrum only, and Lactobacillus farciminis was given orally to the treated lambs at 1 g/day/lamb (L1), 2 g/day/lamb (L2) or 4 g/day/lamb (L3). The experiment continued for a total of 22 weeks. During the first six weeks, bodyweight (BW) increased significantly in L1 at the sixth week. Also during this period, bodyweight gain (BWG) in L2 at 2 - 3 weeks and in L3 at 5 - 6 weeks differed from C. In the subsequent period, BW and BWG were not affected by probiotic supplementation. The effects of probiotic supplementation on malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) were significant throughout the experiment, with the effect on glutathione (GSH) also being important in the first six weeks. Thus, Lactobacillus farciminis provided orally to Tuj breed lambs could be used to improve their antioxidant status without compromising growth.

Infertility can be detected when the couples have not completed pregnancy after a year or more of normal coitus. So, in order to treat infertility, there are many supported reproductive techniques are in practice. The success rate of these techniques depends upon the way by which preparation of the paternal semen sample. Over the past 30 years, the manual has been standard as providing global standards and has been used extensively by research and clinical laboratories throughout the world. The spermatozoa of all placental (eutherian) mammals, including humans, are in a protective, no labile formal at ejaculation and are incapable of fertilization even if they are placed in direct contact with an oocyte. Accordingly, they must undergo a subsequent period of final maturation. during which they acquire the capacity to interact with the oocyte cumulus complex and achieve fertilization. In this article we tried to explain the most important analysis and techniques necessary for semen preparation to produce healthy and normal offspring.
