Metagenomics as a Transformative Tool for Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance: Highlighting the Impact of Mobile Genetic Elements with a Focus on the Complex Role of Phages by Nikoline S. Olsen, Leise Riber

“…We emphasize the importance of monitoring mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as integrons, transposons, plasmids, and bacteriophages (phages), in relation to their critical role in facilitating the dissemination of genetic resistance determinants via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) across diverse environments and clinical settings. In this context, the strengths and limitations of current bioinformatic tools designed to detect AMR-associated MGEs in metagenomic datasets, including the emerging potential of predictive machine learning models, are evaluated. …”

Systematisation of Scientific approaches to the definition of capital as an Economic and accounting category by M. V. Protasov

“…In the course of the work, it was revealed that the views of representatives of economic schools on the concept of “capital” became more complicated due to both positive perception and criticism of previous scientific works, depending on the current economic conditions. This allowed the author to present his own opinion on the impact of different approaches to the interpretation of this term on the development of accounting methods, its evolution in accounting and balance sheet theories, which was the purpose of this study. …”
