Authors: Valiakhmetova E. F. , Yasko L. A. , Papusha L. I. , Druy A. E. , Karachunsky A. I.
Published: July 2019

Low grade gliomas are the most common brain tumors in children. Total resection for operable lesion helps to achieve local and system control. Nevertheless, for inaccessible tumors are required more effective treatment both to overcome the refractory course of the disease, and to mi nimize toxicity with conventional adjuvant chemotherapy and various types of radiation therapy. In recent years, there has been an accelerated understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of some tumors in children, including low grade gliomas. Given the fact that the basis of the molecular pathogenesis of the low grade gliomas is the activation of signaling pathways MARK (mitogen activated protein kinase) and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), the most promising targeted agents are BRAF, MEK and mTOR inhibitors. Nevertheless, a number of other agents have been studied to find promising targeted therapy for this tumors type. This article summarizes the latest literature evaluating new drugs in low grade glioma.

Background. The correct genome replication is essential for normal cell division to guarantee that genetic information comes changeless through the next cells generations. DNA replication is a strictly regulated and synchronous process and its disturbances could result to mutations appearances. Aberrant time of DNA replication affects on gene expression causes changes of epigenetic modifications and influences on increasing the structural rearrangements leading to enhanced genome disbalance. Replication time failure as asynchronous replication is common for cancerogeneses.

The objective of our study was the assessment of asynchronous replication levels in patients with gastric cancer and patients with multiple tumors.

Materials and methods. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used for the asynchronous replication of AURKA and TP53 genes analyses. Interphase FISH on lymphocytes of peripheral blood of 37 healthy donors, 19 patients with non-cancer gastrointestinal pathologies, 68 patients with solitary gastric cancer and 39 patients with multiple tumors having gastric cancer and other second synchronous or metachronous tumor was carried out.

Results. Values of lymphocytes with asynchronous replication for AURKA were 19.8 ± 0.5 % for control group, 24.7 ± 0.4 % for non-cancer patients, 32.5 ± 0.5 % for gastric cancer patients, 39.5 ± 0.6 % for patients with multiple tumors and 17.3 ± 0.5, 19.5 ± 0.7, 26.1 ± 0.7 and 32.5 ± 0.6 % for TP53 respectively. Differences between cell populations of examined groups had statistical significance with p <0.01 for both studied gene. Also there was statistical difference between gastric cancer patients having distant metastases and gastric cancer patients without metastases for AURKA (34.4 ± 1.0 % vs. 31.7 ± 0.6 %; p = 0.02).

Conclusion. High lymphocytes with asynchronous replication level in oncological patients could serve as potential marker of second tumor or possible metastatic process including the earliest stage of it.

Molecular genetic detection of CALR gene somatic mutations is required for myeloproliferative neoplasms diagnosis and treatment according to the novel WHO clinical recommendations. CALR mutations are found in approximately 25–35 % cases of essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis and they are associated with benign clinical outcome. In this study we have compared sensitivity and selectivity of seve ral different options of CALR mutation molecular genetic detection in blood samples of 379 CMD patients and 17 healthy donors. Among methods compared in our study there have been conventional polymerase chain reaction with electrophoretic detection, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, direct Sanger sequencing of polymerase chain reaction fragments and polymerase chain reaction high resolution melting curve analysis. By means of melting curve analysis CALR mutations have been found in 97 (25.5 %) patients, whereas in the cases of Sanger sequencing and polymerase chain reaction there have been 87 (23.0 %) and 84 (22.1 %) CALR mutation positive patients respectively.

Published: July 2019

Background. Nowadays, BRCA-associated breast cancer occupies a special position in the choice of treatment strategy. Although, the drug treatment of such patients was almost the same as the treatment of sporadic disease. Of particular interest is the assessment of the deficit of homologous recombination, which may include various dysfunctions of the BRCA1 gene. Moreover, it has been shown that a decrease in the functional activity of BRCA1 is reflected in the sensitivity of the tumor to DNA damaging agents, and the prognosis of the disease becomes more favorable.

Objective: assessment of the association of BRCA1 gene expression in a breast tumor with the prognosis of the disease.

Materials and methods. The study included 111 patients with breast cancer T1–4N0–3M0 (stage IIA–IIIB), with a morphologically verified diagnosis. Initial and postoperative expression of BRCA1 in tumor material was evaluated. RNA was isolated from the tumor material before treatment and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The level of BRCA1 expression was assessed using reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Results. As a result of the study, long-term results of treatment of patients were evaluated depending on the level of BRCA1 gene expression. The presence of BRCA1 hypoexpression (level less than 1) in tumor tissue after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was found to be a favorable prognostic factor and is associated with high rates of metastasis-free survival (p = 0.0002). In addition, a similar result is shown for patients treated with the FAC (fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen (p = 0.005). Despite the absence of statistically significant differences, in 8 patients who underwent chemotherapy with the inclusion of platinum drugs, there was a low level of BRCA1 expression in a residual tumor and 100 % non-metastatic and overall survival.

Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, it can be assumed that the aberrant state of the BRCA1 gene (low expression) in a breast tumor may also be a promising marker for the prognosis of the disease, which confirms the undoubted relevance of the study, but also requires further detailed study.

Analysis and Suppressing Speed Fluctuations in Brushless DC Motors
Authors: ÇORAPSIZ Muhammed Reşit , KAHVECİ Hakan , ÇORAPSIZ Muhammed Fatih
Published: July 2019

The fluctuations in
both speed and torque magnitudes during operation are among the major
disadvantages of brushless DC motors. These fluctuations occur due to both the
commutation of the inverter switches and the phase winding inductances. This
case can lead to major problems, especially in applications which are required
constant speed and constant torque. In this work, it was aimed to reduce speed
fluctuations that occur in brushless DC motors. Firstly, the Matlab/SIMULINK model
was created by using the dynamic equations of the brushless DC motor. Secondly,
a region selective circuit was designed for use in commutation times. Finally,
the commutation signals were generated from the magnitude of the torque
produced by the motor. Consequently, the proposed technique was controlled
under different speed conditions and was shown that the speed fluctuations can
be reduced without the difficult calculations of the commutation time.
According to the results obtained, it was observed that the speed fluctuations
were significantly reduced.
A Novel Data Hiding Method based on Edge Detection and 2k Correction with High Payload and High Visual Quality
Authors: TUNCER Türker , SÖNMEZ Yasin
Published: July 2019

In this paper a novel
edge adaptive data hiding method is proposed. The proposed edge adaptive
steganography method is improved version of the Bai et al.’s [31] (A high
payload steganographic algorithm based on edge detection) method. The main aim
of the proposed method is to achieve high payload with high visual quality.
This method consists of pre-processing, edge detection, classification of the
secret data, data embedding and data extraction phases. In the pre-processing
phase 6 and 7 least significant bits (LSB) elimination are applied on the cover
image to get a better edge detection in the next phase. As edge detection
methods Sobel, Canny, Laplacian Of Gaussian (LOG), block based edge detection
and hybrid edge detectors are used. After the edge detection, secret data is
divided into 2 classes and then these are embedded into edge pixels and texture
pixels of the image. In order to increase the visual quality 2k correction is
applied on the stego images. Modulus operator is utilized in the data
extraction phase. In the experimental results, payload and visual quality
measurements demonstrated the success of the proposed method.
The Impact of Emerging Renewable Energy on Capacity Mechanisms in Power Systems and Expert Opinion
Authors: TÜR Mehmet Rıda
Published: July 2019

With the increasing
energy demand, the growing capacity of renewable energy sources and the impact
of developing competition, it is desirable to manage the market with
appropriate investments along with the electricity market and optimum load
distribution. In line with this demand, supply security and energy quality play
an important role day by day. This includes the production capacity and the
long-term security of the system, reflecting the system's ability to stand in
unexpected events and sudden load changes. The demand side seems to have
insufficient support to the market for new capacity planning to ensure this
coverage. This problem can be solved by producing additional capacity.
Basically, it is aimed to reduce investment risk for production companies and /
or investors and to provide higher supply security and lower price fluctuations
to consumers. The concern of not investing in electricity generation capacity
to meet the maximum load level has led to investments in capacity utilization
in the form of capacity mechanisms of developed and developing states. In this
study, an academic analysis of the capacity mechanism of the renewable energy
resources and the capacity analysis of the capacity mechanism were made and
expert opinions were presented, the latest developments in the energy market
were examined and the reliability solutions that could be appropriate to the
national electricity market were proposed

Funkcje podatków w doktrynie prawnofinansowej oraz ich znaczenie dla praktyki stanowienia prawa podatkowego
Authors: Zieliński Robert
Published: August 2019

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest charakterystyka funkcji, jakie w doktrynie prawnofinansowej realizują podatki oraz wskazanie ich znaczenia dla praktyki stanowienia prawa podatkowego. W pierwszej kolejności zwrócono uwagę na trudności dotyczące zdefiniowania pojęcia funkcji podatków oraz na brak ich jednolitego katalogu w doktrynie prawa finansowego. Następnie przedstawiona została fiskalna funkcja podatków, a w dalszej kolejności dokonano omówienia pozafiskalnych celów realizowanych przez te daniny publiczne, w głównej mierze scharakteryzowana została ich funkcja redystrybucyjna oraz stymulacyjna.

W niniejszym opracowaniu wskazano, że pomimo, iż podstawową funkcją podatków jest funkcja fiskalna, to nie wszystkie podatki realizują ją w takim samym stopniu. W szczególności pierwszoplanowego znaczenia fiskalnego nie powinny odgrywać podatki obciążające dochody osobiste obywateli, gdyż z uwagi na ich konstrukcję prawną są daninami publicznymi predestynowanymi do realizacji zadań o charakterze rozdzielczym i społecznym (socjalnym). Konstatacja ta stanowi, jak się wydaje, istotną wskazówkę dla praktyki stanowienia prawa podatkowego.
The Idol: A Model for Incorporating Literature in Elt
Authors: Arafah Burhanuddin , . Kaharuddin
Published: August 2019

This paper is aimed at introducing an instructional development model which is
designed in response to two strong desires i.e. to show the most effective ways of
incorporating literature in English Language Teaching and to provide a comprehensive
framework for English teachers to develop literature-based ELT materials. The proposed
instructional model consists of four distinct phases of development i.e. Input phase
(Identifying learners’ needs by carrying out a needs analysis), Development phase
(Using the information on the learners’ needs to select and to organize the literaturebased
ELT materials), Output Phase (producing the prototypes of literature-based ELT
materials), Language acquisition Phase (Assessing the effect of the literature-based
ELT materials on the learners’ language proficiency) which are here abbreviated as
The IDOL Model. The phases are clearly presented and seem compatible the other
phases commonly available in the area of instructional materials development in
today’s English language teaching. Therefore, this model appears to provide useful
assistance to materials designers and English teachers in developing a well-designed
literature-based ELT material.

This study investigates the gender language used in workplace; specifically, on the
comparison and exploration of power language between male and female lecturers
who are teaching in the education field. In the effort to answer whether the general
opinion that man includes more power language in their speech compared to woman;
equal numbers of participants are chosen from both genders and several observations
of teaching and learning sessions initiated by the participants in their respective
classes were conducted by the researchers. The language used by all participants was
analyzed based on the use of two language expressions; directives and elicitations.
The results of the findings suggest that male lecturers used more directives and
elicitations; with Male Lecturer A, who used a total of 27% power languages and
Male Lecturer B, who used a total of 35% power languages. The power language
used by the female lecturers are relatively less than male lecturers; with both female
lecturers: Female Lecturer A and B each using a total of 19% power languages in their
speech. Therefore, the study shows that male uses more power language than women.
However, this study also indicates that the use of their power language also depends
on the context of their language usage.

Published: August 2019

The notion of Education 4.0 has directed to the utilization of various media platforms in
teaching, which, in this context, is the adoption of Transmedia storytelling. Transmedia
storytelling is the material presented to the students during the teaching and learning
session that aims at fostering students transliterate reading. Through transmedia
storytelling students are introduced to reading activities that enable them to read
through multiple media platforms presented in class. A number of studies have been
done in researching transmediality in the area of communication studies, however only
little is known in ELT research. Therefore, this paper endeavors to explore the ways
in which transmedia storytelling helps foster students’ transliterate reading. Adopting
Transmedia Play and Storytelling theories grounded in transmediality, the paper
utilizes a case study as the research design. Employing classroom observation and
students’ response sheets, the findings reveal that transmedia storytelling promotes
students transliterate reading through facilitating them in engaging with multiple types
of visual, audio and interactive media activities. It helps them develop awareness in
three areas: 1) awareness of the function of pictures for story comprehension and
vocabulary acquisition; 2) awareness of the way sound helps for narrative elements
interpretation; 3) awareness of the needs of text-reader transaction through new media
for comprehension.

Da’wah is the term used to refer to the process of spreading information about
Islam by a da’I (a Muslim communicator). Indonesia, as the country with the biggest
Muslim population in the world has produced a large number of da’I who gain
popularity in either, local, national, or international scale. Ustadz Abdul Somad is one
among the most popular da’I from Indonesia who in the last few years has attracted
audience across various social economic, educational, and political backgrounds.
Driven by the popularity gained by Abdul Somad which outruns most other da’I in
Indonesia, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing the success of his
da’wah communication. This study applied a descriptive qualitative approach using
documentation and interview as the instruments of data collection. The findings show
that there are two main factors behind the success of his da’wah communication, First,
the verbal factors which include comprehensive reference and the language choice.
Second, the nonverbal one, which in this case is the use of various platforms for
da’wah dissemination.

Published: August 2019

This study comparatively analyzed the English to Persian translations of “rules and
regulations” of the international banking system, at lexicon, phrase, sentence and
paragraph levels to find out if the translations had been semantically comparable to
their English versions. The translated texts, together with their English scource texts,
were handed in to raters to assess and score semantically based on a three-point scale
of “incorrect”, “fair” and “correct”. According to the results, the majority (96%) of lexicons
had been translated correctly into Persian, while a small percentage of translated
lexicons (3%) had a fair quality and an even smaller percentage (1%) were incorrectly
translated. As for the phrases, most of them (86%) had been translated correctly into
Persian, while a small percentage of translated phrases (8%) had a fair quality and an
even smaller percentage (6%) had been incorrectly translated. Regarding sentences,
44% of their translations had a good and 44% had fair quality, whereas some smaller
numbers (12%) had been incorrectly translated. Compared to previous components, i.e.
lexicon and phrases, the percentage of incorrect translations had noticeably increased
at the level of sentence. Yet, the mean words in Persian sentences (i.e., 23.48) were
rather similar to the source language sentences (i.e., 25.72). Regarding paragraphs, the
majority (40%) of the translations had either a good or fair quality, while a significant
number (20%) had been incorrectly translated. So, unlike the lexicons and phrases, a
significant number of sentences and paragraphs had semantically been inaccurately
translated. In addition, the mean number of words in Persian paragraphs (64.6) was
considerably smaller than the mean words in English paragraphs (71.1).

Published: August 2019

Teaching and learning critical reading and creative writing in the second language
have gone beyond the four walls of classrooms and language classrooms. Apart from
flipped classrooms, where lessons and assignments can be conducted and done
during weekends, public holidays and festive breaks, Universiti Teknologi MARA has
moved another step in implementing Week without Walls (WWW) where students learn
in a less structured way outside the classrooms. Qualitative method namely case study
is used to design the research methodology for this study. The focus on the case
study is to see how learning is demonstrated through the use of social media. The
case study on diploma and degree students from three faculties found that WWW
has increased motivation and interest in teaching and learning of second language
reading and writing. Other than using the usual teaching videos, notes on the online
platform, students are asked to read Reader’s Digest magazines and post a caption
of an interesting article or activity they have read on the social media. Using social
learning theory, analysis of the students’ narratives on social media postings reveal
that given the freedom to demonstrate their learning experience, students can be
creative by posting pictures and videos of what they have read on their social media
and realize that learning is not just for assessments.

Modern accounting that emphasizes material and value-free makes accounting toward materialistic, selfish, secularistic and atheistic. This is proven by the many cases of irregularities and manipulations of financial statements carried out by accountants that reflect those characteristics. Meanwhile human assumptions as an opportunistic, greedy and selfish homo economicus increasing this phenomenon. This become the big question to accounting science and the nature of accountants. Accounting as a branch of science has far away from the philosophy. The foothold of the science of accounting is to achieve the true nature of science and attain the ultimate truth of science. This study aims to review accounting from the perspective of ontology, epistemology, axiology and synergize the self-awareness of accountants in relation to humans, nature and God will bring accounting knowledge back to its essence and accountant to God so that accounting science will give benefit to humanity.

Business organizations have the goal of maximizing company value. The era of new developments in management and corporate management shifts efforts to build value based on stakeholder-based strategies, namely to build the value of the company while taking into account and paying attention to stakeholder interests in the framework of achieving company goals. The legitimacy of the company in the eyes of stakeholders can be done with the integrity of the implementation of ethics in doing business and increasing corporate social responsibility. The purpose of this study is (1) to analyze the effect of profitability, capital structure and CSR fund allocation on firm value, (2) to analyze the moderation of Corporate Social Responsibility budget allocation variables to the relationship of profitability and capital structure to firm value. This study uses a quantitative approach using statistical tools and hypothesis testing. The population of this study is 65 basic industrial and chemical sector companies in Indonesia which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The sampling technique was done by purposive sampling, data analysis using multiple linear regression analysis and moderation regression. The results of the study showed (1) Profitability directly had a significant effect on firm value while the capital structure and CSR fund allocation directly did not affect the firm value (2) Allocation of CSR funds strengthened the influence of capital structure on firm value. This shows that large debt does not affect investors to keep investing in the company, only investors are interested in the allocation of corporate social responsibility funds issued by the company, so that corporate social responsibility funds can be profitable for investors.

Physical-law based models are widely utilized in the aerospace industry. One such use is to provide flight dynamics models for use in flight simulators. For human-in-the-loop use, such simulators must run in real-time. Due to the complex physics of rotorcraft flight, to meet this real-time requirement, simplifications to the underlying physics sometimes have to be applied to the model, leading to model response errors in the predictions compared to the real vehicle. This study investigated whether a machine-learning technique could be employed to provide rotorcraft dynamic response predictions, with the ultimate aim of this model taking over when the physics-based model's accuracy degrades. In the current work, a machine-learning technique was employed to train a model to predict the dynamic response of a rotorcraft. Machine learning was facilitated using a Gaussian Process (GP) non-linear autoregressive model, which predicted the on-axis pitch rate, roll rate, yaw rate and heave responses of a Bo105 rotorcraft. A variational sparse GP model was then developed to reduce the computational cost of implementing the approach on large data sets. It was found that both of the GP models were able to provide accurate on-axis response predictions, particularly when the input contained all four control inceptors and one lagged on-axis response term. The predictions made showed improvement compared to a corresponding physics-based model. The reduction of training data to one-third (rotational axes) or one-half (heave axis) resulted in only minor degradation of the GP model predictions.

Eggplant pest attack, does not only decrease quantity of the yields, but also the quality. Because of this, it needs effort to use resistant eggplant againt the pests. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the intensity of pest attack on several types of eggplant and their effect on the yield. The design used in the study was a completely randomized block design (RCBD). The research was consisted of 4 treatments with 3 replications. The treatments were 4 types of eggplant that were purple , white eggplant, green eggplant, and green streak white. Data were analyzedby F Test, if it was significantly different, by then it was continued with DMRT (Duncan’s Multiple Range Test) at the level of 5%. Pest attack intensity of grasshopper (Orthroptera: Acrididae), caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), ladybird Epilachna sp. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), leafhopper Amrasca sp. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), and Aphis sp. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on the eggplant types showed there was no significantly difference. The intensity of pest attacks which were not significantly different in all types of eggplant along with the results of analysis of plant height and number of fruits which also showed there was no significantly difference in all type eggplants.

The use of liquid fertilizers by utilizing local types of microorganisms (MOL) can be an alternative to supporting nutrient requirements in the soil, and it can be a solution to environmentally friendly agriculture and free from fertilizers and chemical pesticides. Moringa leaves contain chemical compounds such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and sufur so that the leaves of Moringa can be used to make liquid organic fertilizer. In this study, the effect of MOL leaves on the growth and yield of mustard pagoda plants was evaluated. The research was design by factorial randomized block design, with two factors The first factor was dosage of MOL Moringa leaves: 0, 50, 60, and 70 mL L-1. The second was frequency of MOL Moringa leaves application: periodically every 5, 6, and 7 days, Each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 36 experimental plots. To find out the response observed to the given treatment, Variance Analysis Test (ANOVA) was carried out and if it showed a significant difference, continued with Duncan's Multiple Ranged Test. The results showed the frequency and concentration of MOL leaves of Moringa leaves could increase plant height in the treatment frequency of 6 days given 70 ml / l MOL Moringa leaves which was 4,89 cm and the frequency, concentration of MOL leaves of moringa and their interactions had not been able to increase the number of leaves and the fresh weight of the pagoda mustard plant.
