Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) is a widely used tumor marker, and the serum level of this tumor marker is measured periodically in breast cancer patients during the chemotherapy period by capecitabine , Assuming that the higher serum levels of this tumor marker can be a potential risk in breast cancer patients, the study aimed to examine the effect on  capecitabine with Ca15.3, serum estradiol, and calcium levels in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. The study was conducted on a total of 200 women, including 100 women without breast cancer who served as a control group aged range from (45-75years) and 100 women with breast cancer whose ages ranged from (40-70years). Patients at the oncology center at Imam al-Hussain medical city in Kerbala, Iraq, were sorted into groups based on their age, body mass index, disease duration, and treatment length for this study, which was done between July 2022 and October 2022, the efficacy of capecitabine, the plasma levels of (estradiol, Ca 15.3, and calcium) were measured in 100 breast cancer patients who had been taking the drug for at least 3 months. The findings revealed a statistically significant increase (p 0.05) in the concentration of Ca15.3 levels in women with breast cancer compared with control group, breast cancer (BC) is the most common form of cancer that results, and the average levels of serum calcium and estradiol were increased in patient had breast cancer chemotherapy and different with normal range, otherwise, the average level of serum calcium and estradiol in control groups within the normal range.in conclusion According to the ca15.3,serum calcium and estradiol levels, The high stability and existence of Ca15.3, serum calcium and estradiol in body serum make them a promising new diagnostic biomarker for breast cancer patients.

Published: December 2023

The article considers the problem of ensuring food security within the framework of the BRICS bloc. The countries included in this association have been demonstrating significant economic growth and strengthening their positions in the international arena over the past few years. The BRICS member states have great resource potential (land, water, labor resources) for the development of agriculture and are, for the most part, the world’s largest producers and exporters of agricultural and food products. In 2022, the export of agro-food products of the BRICS countries exceeded 15% of the world level. Issues of ensuring food security at the regional and national level have been constantly on the agenda of regularly held summits and have been reflected in a number of documents developed, among them the «BRICS Economic Partnership Strategy until 2025» and the «Action Plan for 2021-2024 on Agricultural cooperation of the BRICS countries». In order to implement joint actions to ensure the sustainable development of the member States on the basis of modern scientific and technological achievements, the BRICS Agricultural Research Platform was developed and put into operation.

Published: December 2023

The author of the article, using the example of the Krasnodar Territory, substantiates that one of the priorities of the effective functioning of the agro-industrial complex is the development of breeding and seed production in the region based on the use of a digitalization tool. Since the existing scientific equipment of the breeding and seed-growing complex in the Krasnodar Territory seriously lags behind modern requirements, the outdated breeding and seed-growing base does not allow obtaining high-quality seeds of higher reproductions, it is necessary to introduce digitalization as a tool for the sustainable development of breeding and seed production in the region. The article substantiates the main provisions of the proposed concept, focuses on the priority budget financing of the breeding and seed production complex, the development of the economic foundations of zonal seed production, as well as on the systematic state planning of the entire system of breeding and seed production.

A special military operation in Ukraine, harsh economic sanctions against Russia by unfriendly countries have led to a new situation in the functioning of economic actors. In these conditions, the issues of achieving their competitiveness, cardinal modernization of the industry, increasing labor productivity, motivation, resource saving and a significant increase in food exports to world and local markets are put forward to the fore, which is not possible without an effective organization of anti-corruption control. In this aspect, there is a successful practice of the actors of the Republic of Tatarstan on the rational use of available means of production, finance and human capital with the use of anti-corruption control. Over the past decades, these measures have significantly increased labor productivity in the region, halved energy consumption with a significant increase in production. A significant contribution to these results was made by the introduction of the lean production system – 5S, which made it possible to significantly reduce the number of employees, reduce the cost of production, and increase the profitability of the region’s actors.

Trends in the decline in living standards in Russian regions indicate that the state and municipal authorities need to pay increased attention to the development of socio-economic systems, including agri-food. This is especially true for the Far Eastern regions, which are characterized by extreme soil and climatic conditions for agricultural production, undeveloped transport infrastructure, unfavorable demographic situation and significant remoteness from the main logistics centers of the country, which significantly limits the possibilities of food self-sufficiency. The regions of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) are markedly differentiated by the level of per capita food production and consumption. The agro-food system needs targeted state regulation, while the development of measures should be carried out on the basis of a differentiated approach to the development of different types of regions. In continuation of the previously conducted research, this article supplements the proven method of typologizing regions by considering other essential features to identify problems and determine the prospects for the development of the agro-food sector. Thus, the following features have been introduced: parameters of resource, infrastructure and financial potentials; sectoral specialization of regions according to the level of development of the agro-food system. In further studies, it is supposed to test the already supplemented methodology for typologizing regions according to the level of development of the agro-food system in the Far Eastern Federal District.

Published: December 2023

Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disease resulting from a deficiency of thyroid hormones that cause metabolic changes. It is a disease more evident in purebred dogs, such as Boxers and Labradors, mainly affecting middle-aged dogs. But, there are also reports in mixed-breed dogs, so far without sex predilection. The clinical signs are varied and, in most cases, non-specific, such as lethargy, weight gain with normophagia, thermophilia, as well as dermatological, neuromuscular and reproductive changes. The main laboratory findings are non-regenerative normochromic normocytic anemia and hypercholesterolemia, as well as increased alkaline phosphatase. In less frequent cases, it is possible to identify hyponatremia and increased alanine aminotransferase. The diagnosis is made via the measurement of thyroid hormones (TSH, free and total T4) and the treatment of choice is levothyroxine sodium. The present study reports a case of hypothyroidism in an overweight seven-year-old mixed-breed dog. The animal was submitted to the hormone replacement treatment of choice, with a response of improvement in the clinical condition.

The present study aimed to verify the knowledge of cat guardians on feline environmental needs, organized around five pillars for achieving a healthy feline environment, and its application in homes. Promoting these needs has a direct impact on the cat's health and well-being by avoiding environmental stress. A questionnaire was prepared in the Google Forms platform, containing 35 questions, 10 of which to establish the profile of the guardians: how many cats they own; if they know and how they got to know the five pillars, and if they believe they promote the well-being of their cats, besides 5 specific questions referring to each pillar. The questionnaire was shared online from 06/18/2021 to 06/29/2021 and eight hundred responses were obtained, inclusion criteria in the study being to have at least one cat. According to the survey, 94% claimed that their environment promoted feline well-being. However, only 34.1% reported knowing the five pillars of the healthy feline environment. In relation to the first pillar, 52.6% stated that their cats had a safe and private place, although it was not individual. 59.9% of the safe places had more than one entrance, allowing the feline to leave a threatening situation. Regarding the second pillar, 32.9% reported having one more of each resource than the number of cats. Regarding the location of resources, 58.5% said they had separate food and water bowls and 88.4% reported separating the litter box from all other resources. Regarding the 3rd pillar, 81.1% claimed that their cats play and 66.8% of guardians claimed to play with them daily, although 82.1% reported not using puzzle feeders, failing to explore the feline's predatory behavior at the time of feeding. Regarding the 4th pillar, 64.6% claimed to initiate social interactions with their cats with high frequency (91.1%) and high intensity (72.4%), while 86.2% said they believed that the frequency and intensity of these interactions vary according to the age of the feline. Regarding the 5th pillar, 90.7% claimed to believe that interference in the olfactory sense of cats could lead to behavioral and health problems. The knowledge and management of guardians proved to be satisfactory, but the need for information dissemination was evidenced, especially by veterinarians, as the mentioned pillars have a strong relationship with preventive veterinary medicine.

Published: December 2023

In the digital era, formal education is not only about learning at school but also about learning and education outside of school. This condition has more or less directly affected the consideration of parents in choosing a school, especially in the digital era. This research is conducted using quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. The quantitative method is performed by analyzing the potential of the schools chosen by parents, while the qualitative method is to find out the opinions of parents in more depth in choosing schools for their children. TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) analysis is performed which involves three experts in assessing good schools in the digital era. Three types of schools are used as research objects such as Islamic Boarding Schools, Public Schools, and Subsidized Schools. Some interesting findings related to considerations of parents in choosing a school are related to religious education for their children, access to education, and also the reason for the relatively expensive cost of Islamic-based schools. Therefore, parents tend to choose non-boarding public schools.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

Enhanced recovery after surgery, or the enhanced recovery protocol (ERP), introduces a contemporary concept for perioperative care within neurosurgery. In recent years, mounting evidence has highlighted the significant impact of this approach on brain tumor surgery. The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of current publications, with a primary focus on assessing the efficiency and safety of implementing ERP in the management of patients undergoing elective craniotomies for brain tumor resection.

METHODS

This study followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and was registered in the PROSPERO database. A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, and Embase databases was performed, and two independent reviewers extracted the data, assessed bias, and resolved disagreements through discussion. Primary outcomes included hospital length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization cost. The secondary outcomes were complications, including death, reoperation, readmission, intracerebral hemorrhage, CNS infection, and deep vein thrombosis. A random-effects model was used to evaluate the effects of implementing the ERP using the mean difference (MD) for primary outcomes. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics, and statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.

RESULTS

Eight studies, including 3 randomized controlled trials, 3 prospective studies, and 2 retrospective studies, were included in this meta-analysis. The ERP group had significantly shorter LOS (MD −2.69, 95% CI −3.65 to −1.73; p < 0.00001, I2 = 87%) and lower hospitalization cost (MD −$1188 [US dollars] 95% CI −$1726 to −$650; p = 0.0008, I2 = 71%) than the non-ERP group. There were no significant differences in the incidence of perioperative complications between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated the effectiveness of the ERP in improving postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing elective craniotomies for brain tumors. This protocol has demonstrated the ability to reduce hospital stays and costs while maintaining a low complication rate. However, the study acknowledges the presence of clinical and statistical heterogeneity among the included articles, limiting the scope of its conclusions. Further high-quality comparative studies are necessary to substantiate these findings and establish their reliability.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

Modern neurosurgical developments enable minimally invasive surgery with shorter operation times, faster recovery, and earlier hospital discharge. These in combination with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have the potential to safely shift craniotomy for tumor resection to the ambulatory setting in selected patients. The aim of this retrospective observational single-center study was to assess the success rate of planned same-day discharge from hospital in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial brain tumor resection under general anesthesia or awake craniotomy as well as to explore potential associations with anesthesia techniques, complications, and readmission rates.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis of all patients scheduled for same-day discharge after supratentorial craniotomy for tumor resection over 25 years (1996–2021) was performed. Patients were identified for same-day discharge based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collected included patient demographics, comorbidities, anesthetic data, perioperative complications, and patient dispositions. Data are presented descriptively.

RESULTS

A total of 630 patients (mean age 50.9 years; 311 females, 319 males) scheduled for same-day discharge were analyzed. Patients underwent either awake craniotomy (AC; n = 491) or craniotomy under general anesthesia (GA; n = 139). Successful preplanned same-day discharge occurred in 571 (90.6%). Failed same-day discharge happened in 59 patients (GA, n = 14; AC, n = 45). Reasons for failed discharge included the following: new neurological deficit (n = 28); presence of seizure (n = 8); postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV; n = 12); excessive headache (n = 5); and/or social factors (n = 10). Nine patients (1.4%) (GA, n = 0; AC, n = 9) with same-day discharge required readmission to hospital within the first 24 hours after discharge. Reasons for readmission included headache (n = 2), seizure (n = 4), neurological deficit (n = 3), and/or PONV (n = 1); all patients were successfully discharged from hospital after 1 day with no need for reoperation.

CONCLUSIONS

This retrospective, single-center analysis shows that same-day discharge after craniotomy can be safe in carefully selected patients after both GA and AC for tumor resection. Multidisciplinary involvement (surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other allied health professionals) optimizes success of same-day craniotomy programs. Future optimization of analgesia and prevention of PONV has the potential to increase the success rate.

This study aims to identify and analyze the impact of using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) language, on students' critical thinking. The use of ChatGPT is becoming common at this time to get information and instant needs of students. However, the impact on critical thinking skills in students still needs to be studied. This research method uses quantitative methods. Giving questionnaires to a group of students who use ChatGPT is carried out online, data from this study is used to identify the impact of using ChatGPT on students' critical thinking levels. Using quantitative methods and online questionnaires, the study was able to collect relevant and detailed data on the impact of using ChatGPT. This makes it easier for researchers to identify data, as well as provide a deeper understanding of ChatGPT's influence on students' critical thinking. The results in the research we have done obtained 3.593 on the Likert scale. This shows that ChatGPT has a moderate effect on critical thinking skills. Dependence on the use of ChatGPT can reduce the level of critical thinking skills. Therefore, it is important to remember that although this study obtained positive results, the use of ChatGPT should be balanced with the development of independent critical thinking skills and critical evaluation of the information provided by the AI model.

National electricity consumption increases in line with continuous population growth and other socio-economic factors. The national electric power capacity goal develops largely for industrial manufacture and new settlement. The electrification- ratio on the target; is based on the accessibility of electricity services. The spatial distribution of electricity services coverage over the Indonesian territory is insufficient, particularly over the remote area that is out of electric services. Modeling by spatial (location) and temporal (year) to estimate electricity or energy consumption is necessary to develop using a low-light nighttime satellite dataset, therefore spatial boundaries can be accomplished. The modeling procedure starts by preparing the data frame of the independent variable input (amount of radiance) and the dependent variable output (the consumption of electricity or energy). The modelling method uses the curve-fitting approach where the indicator results by evaluating the R-square and RMSE values. The output model function is used to convert radiances into electrical power consumption units with a certain degree of accuracy. The selection of the input-output variable was achieved after variable analysis with the highest R-square outcome. Results indicate that the model functions in a polynomial form and correlations between variables are not simple. The selection of various model functions did not change the degree of correlation. The accumulative of energy radiances as independent variable input provides the optimum correlation result. The energy consumption from street lighting, in general, offers appropriate information that can be seen from satellites. The model function can be applied to a narrower spatial scale by input variable constraints.

IPO adalah proses dimana suatu perusahaan menawarkan sahamnya kepada publik dengan menerbitkan prospektus perusahaan tersebut. Prospektus perusahaan dimaksudkan untuk memberikan informasi kepada Investor yang ingin membeli saham yang dikeluarkan oleh perusahaan. Dalam penawaran harga saham, seringkali terdapat kesenjangan informasi antara perusahaan, Investor dan penjamin emisi sehingga terjadi undepricing. Underpricing terjadi saat harga saham pada penawaran lebih rendah daripada harga saham pada saat penutupan. Penelitian ini mengkaji dampak Underpricing perusahaan yang melakukan IPO. Variabel bebas pada penelitian ini adalah Kinerja Keuangan dan variabel terikat Underpricing. IPO adalah proses di mana perusahaan menjual sahamnya kepada publik, sehingga menjadi perusahaan yang terdaftar di bursa saham. Keputusan untuk berinvestasi dalam perusahaan yang melakukan go publik mempunyai risiko yang tinggi. Data yang dipakai meliputi data keuangan, data pasar saham, dan data informasi perusahaan yang diambil dari sumber yang sah. Hasil penelitian ini membantu untuk lebih memahami faktor yang mempengaruhi keputusan investasi pada perusahaan yang melakukan IPO. Hasil ini dapat bermanfaat bagi investor, regulator pasar keuangan, dan manajemen perusahaan untuk mempertimbangkan dalam melakukan IPO untuk membuat keputusan investasi yang lebih baik.

Doctrinal interpretations of digitalisation as a general legal phenomenon
Authors: Najafli Emin
Published: December 2023

The article demonstrates the doctrinal interpretations of digitalisation as a general legal phenomenon. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the analysis of the content of scientific publications in the field of digitalisation of social relations indicates that priority in this area is still given to highly specialised issues which are studied mainly within the framework of branch legal sciences, primarily constitutional, judicial, administrative and civil law. Therefore, the study of digitalisation usually lacks a comprehensive nature, since the relevant issues are analysed without clarifying the conceptual basis of digitalisation. The approaches proposed in the national legal science to improve certain legal regulators and reorient legislation to regulate social relations in the field of digitalisation often fall behind the rapid development of the relevant processes.

It is indicated that along with traditional law which is rapidly being digitised (moving into the virtual space from paper carriers), the phenomenon of digital law is emerging which is an intersectoral formation mediating social relations which take place in the virtual space (from cryptocurrency circulation to the provision of administrative services).

Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the fact that in practice, the formation of new legal models of digitalisation of public relations in general and public administration in particular takes place outside the doctrine of social relations legalisation which has been developed by theoretical and legal science. Such an approach fundamentally contradicts the existing social needs, leads to managerial and law-making chaos and the lack of distinction between the truly objective needs for legal regulation of new relations and opportunistic managerial decisions which only selectively stimulate the regulatory impact of law on digitalisation. It also fails to ensure timely and effective legal regulation of the relevant range of rapidly emerging social relations that significantly transform the conventional way of life of society, the political, legal and value “image” of the state, its institutional and functional foundations, as well as the lifestyle of each citizen, including the set of his or her personal rights exercised in the public life of the digital age.
