Researches aimed at studying the role of TP53 gene variability in the tumor progression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are among the most in-demand in both the fields of fundamental and applied oncohematology. However, until recently, the knowledge about the specific mechanisms of dysfunction of this gene and their clinical significance in DLBCL was largely limited. This article is dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences and describes the main scientific results of research of the molecular genetic mechanisms and the significance of p53 deregulation in DLBCL, conducted jointly by Novosibirsk State Medical University and the Research Institute of Therapy and Preventive Medicine – the Branch of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences for many years. A comprehensive study of TP53 variability due to functionally significant polymorphisms and haplotype structure, somatic mutations, promoter methylation, as well as allelic imbalance was carried out. A two-hit mechanism for dysfunction of this anti-oncogene in the formation of lymphoma has been established. The current underestimation of the frequency of aberrations in TP53 in DLBCL is shown due to ignoring synonymous mutations and changes in non-coding regions of the gene. The deep involvement of TP53 in the processes of predisposition to development, initiation, progression and response of DLBCL to therapy has been proven. The results obtained suggest that assessment of the function of the TP53 gene and understanding the specific mechanisms of its inactivation in each of the diagnosed cases of DLBCL may soon have direct access to personalized selection of therapy.

Introduction. The methodology of pharmaceutical development provides for the preparation and analysis of experimental samples, in particular by the amount of an active substance in the dissolution/release medium. Modern spectral and chromatographic methods are used to standardize the quality of pharmaceutical substances, which significantly complicates testing samples. The development and validation of an accessible method for the spectrophotometric determination of trimetazidine dihydrochloride (TMD) is necessary to assess the release kinetics in the samples studied. Aim. Development and validation of a spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of TMD. Materials and methods. Pharmaceutical substances of TMD and excipients met the quality requirements of regulatory documents. The certified devices, equipment and methods used complied with the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, 14th ed. and the recommendations of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). Results. To develop a method for the spectrophotometric determination of TMD, the maximum absorbance was detected at 269 ± 2 nm. Due to the need to quantify the release profiles of the active substance from experimental samples (granulates and tablets) of TMD in acidic medium and phosphate buffer (pH = 6.8 ± 0.05), the method was validated under such conditions. The constructed calibration curve showed that the linear range of the method is 5.0–25.0 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9994 in acidic medium (HCl 0.1 M) and 10.0–50.0 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9997 in phosphate buffer. Such characteristics of the method as specificity, accuracy and precision were within reference limits. The determination of TMD using this method in mixture models formulated into granules and tablets showed coincidence with the reference values within the limits of acceptable deviations. Conclusion. A spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of TMD within the maximum absorbance at 269 ± 2 nm was developed and validated, which makes it possible to use it during pharmaceutical development.

Introduction. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has prompted the study of problems of comorbidities, including widespread and highly pathogenic comorbid infectious diseases. Tuberculosis continues to be major infectious disease in terms of social life and epidemiology that can have a negative impact on the outcomes of patients with COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, including because of the association of pathogenetic mechanisms of these infectious diseases is still unclear. The study of risk factors for adverse outcomes of tuberculosis and COVID-19 co-infection will improve managing these diseases. Aim. To evaluate the impact of changes in immunocompetent cell subsets and specific treatment regimens on SARS-CoV-2 clearance in the respiratory tract of patients with COVID-19 and tuberculosis co-infection. Materials and methods. In a retrospective cohort clinical study we have analyzed the clinical characteristics and duration of elimination of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) from the respiratory tract of 76 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and active tuberculosis. The first group included 37 patients with COVID-19 and active pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis without signs of lymphogenous or hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (TB P/EP). The second group included 39 patients with COVID-19 and disseminated tuberculosis (DTB). Results. When constructing multiple regression models, the CD4+ count less than 80 cells/µl was the strongest determinant of delayed elimination of SARS-CoV-2 from the respiratory tract with a regression coefficient (β ± m) of 21.762 ± 6.250 (p = 0.002) and 10.853 ± 4.220 (p = 0.015) in the first and second groups, respectively. In combination with the duration of anti-tubercular therapy, antiretroviral therapy, anemia, and platelet count, these factors made it possible to predict a 68.1% variances in the duration of elimination of SARS-CoV-2 from the respiratory tract of patients with TB P/EP, and a 42.7% variances of this indicator in patient with COVID-19 and DTB co-infection. Conclusion. A decrease in the CD4+ count less than 80 cells/µl, the duration of the intensive phase of anti-tubercular therapy, antiretroviral therapy, anemia, peripheral blood platelet count have a comprehensive impact on prolongation of SARS-CoV-2 elimination from the respiratory tract of patients with COVID-19 and tuberculosis co-infection.

The article discusses the importance of simulation education, which helps medical students acquire real-world experience and skills necessary for further professional development. The relevance of modern simulation education for the practical training of medical specialists is noted not only in senior, but also in junior courses. Along with traditional simulators for medical practice: phantoms, dummies, anatomical models, simulators, and others, the article pays special attention to computer simulators during practical and laboratory classes. Developed and used in the educational process in both on-line and off-line versions of seven simulator programs for laboratory work of varying complexity from the discipline "Medical and Biological Physics". The article, as an example, presents a simulator program for laboratory work "Study of liquid viscosity". First, students are invited to study the theoretical material on methods of measuring the coefficient of dynamic viscosity of a liquid, as well as to familiarize themselves with the design and principle of operation of the Ostwald viscometer. Next, the simulator implements the necessary tasks in accordance with the order of work specified in the methodical instructions. The simulator program records the results of the experiments in a table and the students take them for further processing. An analysis of the options for forming the results of the experiment using a simulator program versus measuring the values of these results directly on the computer screen was carried out. It is noted that due to the high probability of falsification or use of the results obtained by other students, the formation of the results of the experiment by the program is a more acceptable option. In addition, the result of experimental data processing in this case can be checked by a simulator program and evaluated accordingly. A technique for determining the range of the random number generator is proposed for the purpose of forming individual results of the experiment by a simulator program based on the calculation of the confidence interval. It has been proven that the minimum and maximum values for the random number generator should be chosen from confidence intervals, the probability of which is higher than 0.95.

Mobility rules
Authors: Fradejas-García Ignacio , Salazar Noel B.
Published: August 2024

In this introductory article, we critically analyze which rules govern human mobility and how mobility regulations and codes are resisted, transgressed, broken, and remade. To play by the rules of mobility means to follow habits and laws governed by social norms and institutional control. Our point of departure is that social and institutional mobility rules both abound and are intertwined and that they are routinely disputed by individuals, groups, and institutions. Drawing on ethnographic examples and the literature on legal anthropology, mobilities, and transnational migration, the article disentangles the specific mechanisms, principles, and symbolic power of mobility rules—written and non-written, legal and non-legal, formal and informal, codified and non-codified, explicit and implicit. In short, we address how people are navigating rules of mobility that operate in contradictory, ambiguous, and hidden ways.
Ruling out rescue at sea?
Authors: Missbach Antje
Published: August 2024

This article examines a case in which three fishermen were sentenced for people smuggling after having rescued 99 refugees from their sinking ship near Indonesia. The analysis is grounded in the juxtaposition of three different sets of mobility rules – Indonesian migration law, customary law of the sea, and international law for search and rescue at sea. It argues that recent mobility restrictions at the Indonesian state level implemented to deter maritime movements are in violation of longer-standing local and international sets of mobility rules meant to protect lives at sea. The findings show a legal precedent that could cause potential non-state rescuers to abandon rescue to avoid state sanctions, while states may enjoy impunity for disregarding international law concerning the rescue of people in distress at sea.
A Girlhood Disrupted
Authors: Mahali Alude
Published: August 2024

In this article, I discuss Katuntu (…and you too), a work I devised and performed with Injairu Kulundu in fulfilment of my Masters in Theatre Making from the University of Cape Town in October 2009. In the play, we harnessed memory to depict loss caused by an uprooted girlhood, portraying the consequences of fragmented memory on Black African women with immigrant pasts, in the hope that it might resonate with others who share the experience of similarly disrupted girlhood. We used song performance in the creation of shared girlfriend memory. I argue that the concept of girlfriend aesthetic offers a methodology for re-membering by providing a reflective surface upon which one sees in the experience of the girlfriend other, something that incites one's own memory.
Barbie
Authors: Reid-Walsh Jacqueline
Published: August 2024

I had the pleasure of watching Barbie when it first came out. I immediately thought of the genre of broad satire, especially visual, as in eighteenth-century Hogarth paintings and prints but with women creators. My first impulse was to laugh at the blatantly inverted world the movie creates. As someone interested in literature of the long eighteenth century—both popular prints such as broadsheets and later novels by British women—I was struck by the strategies used in the film and how they recalled some of those practiced hundreds of years ago to escape the official censor through laughter. I thought of the seventeenth-century prints depicting a world turned upside down with the oppressors at the bottom of the sheet and the oppressed at the top.1 Stemming from this, eighteenth-century theatrical pantomimes carried the inversions onto the stage; this continues today in comic performances that use a camp style. While watching Barbie, the brashness of the blatant inversions made me gasp and laugh.

Published: August 2024

Covenants play a pivotal role in international relations in pursuing peace processes, de-escalating hostilities, and resolving conflicts. Islam advocates all those methods that promote peace as long as they are not contrary to the core principles of Islam and treaties are one such way to achieve peaceful co-existence on the global landscape. This study explores the humane aspects of the treaties concluded by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) which were founded on high moral grounds in order to eliminate oppression and tyranny by all means. Furthermore, the study also unfolds the circumstances which provided grounds to terminate the treaties. The glorious conduct of the Holy Prophet PBUH sets demonstrations for negotiation, conclusion, and observance of the covenants and sets high standards of ethics in the promotion of peace for the coexistence of multi-ethnic societies thus providing a benchmark to follow for the contemporary Muslim world.

One of the materials that can be used to make activated charcoal is bidara wood. Bidara wood has a high carbon content and a good pore structure. In addition, bidara wood also contains several minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium in small amounts. The content of these compounds and elements makes bidara wood very suitable to be used as a raw material for activated charcoal. One of the activation materials is an H3PO4 solution. In the activation process, bidara wood activated charcoal can improve its quality properties, such as surface area, pore volume, and adsorption capacity. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the effect of heating temperature variations on the quality properties of bidara wood activated charcoal using chemical activation with an H3PO4 solution. The experimental design used in this study is a Completely Randomized Design with one factor, which is the activation temperature (500, 600, and 700˚C). The results of the study showed that the use of H3PO4 solution at a temperature variation of 700˚C resulted in better properties for moisture content (5.41%), ash content (43.29%), and iodine adsorption capacity (4,737 mg/g) compared to the temperature variations of 500˚C and 600˚C.

Simple Drip Irrigation is automatic and cheap plant watering. Simple Drip Irrigation is a plant watering technique that uses a water reservoir or water reservoir can be a used bottle that is given a channel to drip the planting media little by little constantly, so that the planting media remains fulfilled its water needs, without becoming muddy and the water supply remains sufficient. This study aims to determine the water efficiency by using drip irrigation method on the growth of lettuce plants. The method used in this research is an experimental method using a Randomised Group Design (RAK) consisting of 3 treatments, namely 3 replications so as to obtain 12 experimental units, first P1 = 300ml water application, second P2 = 200ml water application, and P3 = 100ml water application and analysed using analysis of variance (Anova) at a real level of 5% and if there is a treatment that has a real effect then a test is carried out using the honest real difference test (BNJ) at a real level of 5%. The results of field research conducted by researchers that the provision of drip irrigation has no significant effect on the parameters of plant height, dry trimmed weight, stem diameter, soil texture but significantly different on wet trimmed weight and for the best treatment obtained in the P2 treatment which produces the highest wet trimmed weight of 93 grams.
