Monitoring of radiation situation in the territory of the Voronezh region by Yu. I. Stepkin, M. K. Kuzmichev, O. V. Klepikov

“…The average annual effective dose per 1 inhabitant due to all ionizing radiation remains stable with a slight upward trend and lies in the range from 2.925 (2010) to 3.399 mSv (2016). In the structure of the collective dose of the population of the Voronezh region, the dose from natural sources is 83.65%, from medical sources – 16.06%, from technogenically changed background radiation, including global fallout and accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant – 0.18%, from the activities of enterprises using Sources of ionizing radiation – 0.11%. …”

(Non)specific interaction patterns in families raising a child with disability or chronic illness: a latent profile analysis by Ariadna Łada-Maśko, Urszula Sajewicz-Radtke, Paweł Jurek, Paweł Jurek, Michał Olech, Bartosz M. Radtke, Małgorzata Lipowska

“…To assess interaction patterns within families, the following measures were used: the Questionnaire of Relationships with Siblings to evaluate relationships between healthy adolescents and their siblings, the Parentification Questionnaire for Youth to measure emotional and instrumental parentification, the KidScreen-27 to assess quality of life, the Parental Attitude Scale-2 to assess parental attitudes, and the Family Rating Scales to evaluate family dynamics, including the structure and quality of family interactions. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to analyze data.ResultsWe identified two latent profiles: “Strained Families” profile, which featured lower-quality family interactions with parents displaying greater rejection, inconsistent, and overdemanding attitudes, and the “Resilient Families” profile reflected balanced functioning with greater cohesion and flexibility. …”

Troncoso, Rodrigo Troncoso, Beverly A. Rothermel, Mario Chiong, E. Dale Abel, Sergio Lavandero

“…Results Cultured rat cardiomyocytes treated with rapamycin for 6–24 h showed a significant reduction in phosphorylation of p70S6K, indicative of sustained inhibition of mTOR. Structural and functional analysis revealed increased mitochondrial fragmentation and impaired bioenergetics characterized by decreases in ROS production, oxygen consumption, and cellular ATP. …”

Study on the stiffness and damping properties of magnetorheological elastomers subjected to biaxial loads and a magnetic field by J. Luis Gomez-Color, Luis M. Palacios-Pineda, Imperio A. Perales-Martínez, Oscar Martínez-Romero, Daniel Olvera-Trejo, Claudia A. Ramírez-Herrera, Karina Del Ángel Sánchez, Alex Elías-Zúñiga

“…We discovered that micro-particle alignment in the elastomer matrix, its fractal structure, and the magnetic field modify stiffness and damping properties since the magnetic field restricts the polymer chains' reptation zone, thereby stiffening the polymer matrix and influencing its energy dissipation capacity.Furthermore, we proposed a constitutive material model to predict stress-softening and residual strains when the MRE samples are under biaxial loading-unloading cycles and magnetic field intensity with theoretical predictions that follow experimental data well. …”
