Loss of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP3K4) reveals a requirement for MAPK signalling in mouse sex determination. by Debora Bogani, Pam Siggers, Rachel Brixey, Nick Warr, Sarah Beddow, Jessica Edwards, Debbie Williams, Dagmar Wilhelm, Peter Koopman, Richard A Flavell, Hongbo Chi, Harry Ostrer, Sara Wells, Michael Cheeseman, Andy Greenfield

“…The byg mutation is an A to T transversion causing a premature stop codon in the gene encoding MAP3K4 (also known as MEKK4), a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase. Analysis of XY byg/byg gonads at 11.5 d post coitum reveals a growth deficit and a failure to support mesonephric cell migration, both early cellular processes normally associated with testis development. …”

The issue of sustainable land use in Ukraine taking into account the consequences of the war by Liudmyla Datsenko, Svitlana Titova, Marharyta Dubnytska, Oksana Kustovska

“…The system approach is used not from the point of view of its structure, interrelationships and relations between individual components of sustainable land use, but from the aspect of systemic, economic and other land use, which was formed in the state under the influence of regulatory and legislative factors, with the aim of obtaining the highest effect from land use resource for compliance with the requirements for its reproduction and protection, which in turn will contribute to increasing the socio-economic efficiency of the use and reproduction of the productive potential of the lands of Ukraine in the post-war period. The land use system reveals an interconnected set of objects and subjects that function as a single whole in the natural environment, operating with information that is a product that comes from the environment, or a pragmatic part of structural information accumulated by the system itself. …”
