WRITERS EDUCATION when street art enters the Academy by Paolo Belardi, Luca Martini

“…However, despite being admitted to the most pres-tigious museum circuits (just think of the space reserved in the Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art in Berlin), writing and street art have always encountered difficulties in entering the Academy, also as the related items have never been included in the lists of disciplinary fields of the Visual Arts area recognised by AFAM (Higher Education in Art, Music and Dance established by Ministry for University and Research). …”

Neighboring Patch Density or Patch Size? Which Determines the Importance of Forest Patches in Maintaining Overall Landscape Connectivity in Kanas, Xinjiang, China by Zhi Wang, Lei Han, Luyao Wang, Hui Shi, Yan Luo

“…In addition, neighboring patch density was the dominant factor that influenced patch importance for species with 50 and 100 m dispersal distances, while patch size contributed most for species with 200 m and longer dispersal distances; therefore, we suggested that neighboring patch density and patch size could be used to support efforts to identify priority patches. …”

Impact of Host–Emitter Interactions on Light Amplification in Laser Dyes by Masashi Mamada, Ayano Abe, Takashi Fujihara, Tatsuya Yoshida, Kenichi Goushi, Kiyoshi Miyata, Ken Onda, Chihaya Adachi

“…The molecular design principle based on Einstein coefficients has been validated for achieving high gain, with para‐phenylene‐vinylene scaffolds recognized as one of the most crucial frameworks. In this study, we develop a stilbene tetramer derivative, QSBCz, which has significantly increased conjugation compared to the highly efficient laser material, BSBCz, resulting in a remarkably high radiative decay rate and a large gain cross‐section. …”

Effects of Irrigation with Treated Slaughterhouse Effluent and <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> spp. Inoculation on Soybean Development and Productivity: Strategies for Sustainable Management by Ana Carolina Murad Lima, Lisiane Brichi, Lucas Renato Trevisan, André Leão de Souza Dominguez, Gustavo Nocera Santiago, Tamara Maria Gomes, Fabrício Rossi

“…Fresh and dry shoot biomass showed significant interactions among cycle, inoculation, and effluent, with higher effluent concentrations combined with inoculation being most effective in the first cycle. Foliar nitrogen concentrations were higher in the first cycle, particularly at elevated effluent doses, while foliar sodium showed a positive correlation with nitrogen and a negative correlation with magnesium. …”

Features of immunoregulation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with blood eosinophilia by O. I. Urazova, E. G. Churina, Yu. V. Kolobovnikova, V. V. Novitskiy, A. V. Karaulov, E. L. Nikulina, V. S. Poletika

“…In TB with eosinophilia, an increase in the number of Foxp3-positive regulatory T cells in the blood is combined with in vitro hypersecretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines TGFβ, IL-10, IL-4 and an increase in the content of CD20+ B lymphocytes and IL-5 in the blood. These changes are most pronounced in the disseminated form of TB in combination with drug resistance.Conclusion. …”

USING IN VITRO-METHODS FOR PROPAGATION AND PRODUCING SECONDARY METABOLITES FROM EUROPEAN PENNYROYAL PLANTS (MENTHA PULEGIUM L.) by M.M. MOUBARAK, M. Y. CHEREDNICHENKO

“…In the variety Sonia stem organogenesis had frequency from 33 % to 100% on most medium modifications. When we used internodes explants of both varieties stem organogenesis was obtained only on MS medium supplemented by 0.5 mg/l BAP + 1 mg/l NAA, and amounted to 20%.For the induction of root organogenesis we can recommend a medium with half mineral content on MS medium supplemented by kinetin as cytokinin and NAA as auxin. …”

Impact of the 3-D structure on the photovoltaic potential in Urban areas by Hu Shouchao, Li Dong, Chang Zengliang, Tong Hongju, Gao Xingguo, Cao Qian

“…Central-type blocks exhibit the most favorable irradiance performance under conditions of moderate building height, appropriate spacing, and balanced Sky View Factor; vertical-type blocks rank second; while hybrid-type blocks, despite having higher rooftop area ratios and coverage ratios, suffer from severe shading effects due to staggered building heights, resulting in the lowest photovoltaic potential. …”
