IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL CURRENCIES IN FOREIGN TRADE SETTLEMENTS: PREREQUISITES, LIMITATIONS, PERSPECTIVES by I. A. Balyuk

“…The analysis of practical experience of implementation of national currencies in foreign trade settlements has allowed to highlight the «bottlenecks» and problems hindering more active implementation of national currencies by the national participants of foreign economic relations. Current trends and perspectives of implementation of national currencies in foreign trade settlements are discussed in general terms by taking into consideration Russian rouble and Renminbi.The analysis substantiates the need to eliminate existing law, administrative, financial and economic barriers hampering the national participants of foreign economic relations to efficiently conduct business activities in the domestic financial markets, and to ensure favourable market conditions by the national financial institutions.…”

Safety and Efficacy of the Supine Position with the Right Shoulder Raised versus the Left Lateral Position in Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Achalasia: A Large-Sample Retrospective... by Nanjun Wang, Ningli Chai, Longsong Li, Yawei Bi, Shengzhen Liu, Wengang Zhang, Shasha Wang, Enqiang Linghu

“…The mean operative time in the supine position with the right shoulder raised group was significantly shorter than that in the left lateral position group (43.5 min vs. 54.6 min, respectively, p<0.001). In addition, the differences between the two groups in terms of gas-related complications, such as pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema were statistically significant (all p<0.05). …”

Homing of regulatory T cells to human skin is important for the prevention of alloimmune-mediated pathology in an in vivo cellular therapy model. by Fadi Issa, Joanna Hester, Kate Milward, Kathryn J Wood

“…Indeed, clinical trials of Treg for the prevention of GvHD where the skin is a major target of the anti-host response have employed Treg derived from a variety of different sources. We postulated that for the effective treatment of GvHD-related skin pathology, Treg must be able to migrate to skin in order to regulate local alloimmune responses efficiently. …”

Recognition Algorithm of AE Signal of Rock Fracture Based on Multiscale 1DCNN-BLSTM by Weihua Wang

“…This article constructs a deep learning algorithm model to identify acoustic emission signals released from rock fractures with different brittle mineral contents. In response to the interference characteristics of acoustic emission signal data, a multiscale one-dimensional convolutional neural network embedded with efficient channel attention (ECA) module was incorporated into the model, and multiscale convolutional kernels were used to extract features of different levels of precision. …”
