Published: November 2020

This study was undertaken to find issues and problems in quality assurance practices in public and private sector higher education institutes of Punjab Pakistan. There was a total of 156 faculty members (male & female) in the selected four departments of 10 selected universities (5 from public and five from private) which constitute an accessible population of this study. All the teachers and head of departments of those selected departments were the respondents of this study. The self-constructed instrument was validated by expert opinion and pilot testing. The responses of the faculty members were measured with the help of frequency and their percentages, mean and standard deviations. Each table is formed on the basis of the variables of the study. It was concluded that the biggest hurdle in quality assurance identified by this research is the unavailability of data for quality assurance. It was recommended by the researcher that the financing system by the HEC should be revised to even the playing field even more. This could be done by expanding the needs-based scholarship program for students attending private HEIs.

FAMILY ISSUES IN THE HUMANITARIAN AGENDA OF RUSSIAN MEDIA
Authors: Avtaeva Nayalia O. , Chemodanova Tatiana D.
Published: November 2020

The humanitarian agenda of the media is characterized by a primary focus on the problems of the individual. Traditionally addressing the contradictions of social life, the humanitarian agenda puts the individual, personal beginning in the foreground. The family is a small social group, a social cell made up of several individuals and characterized by a number of characteristics, so the family theme can be considered as the optimal vector for implementing the humanitarian agenda. The key objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between social journalism and the humanitarian agenda in the media. The empirical basis is modern, socially oriented domestic media, which contribute to the humanization of the media space. The information policy of such media is based on the fact that the main value in editorial office publications is human beings. One of the brightest representatives of socially oriented media is the magazine Russian Reporter, whose editorial staff emphasized that the main value in publications is the individual, and any problems in the magazine are covered through the prism of an ordinary person. On the example of this publication, we can trace how organically family issues fit into the humanitarian agenda of Russian media. The main research method is a content analysis of publications in the Russian print media.

Published: November 2020

This research looks into social media platforms' role in revolutionising African electoral processes and outcomes in the digital era. The study applied the descriptive literature review research method through the lens of ―Uses and Gratifications Theory‖ and ―Media Ecology Theory‖. The usage of social media platforms keeps revolutionising human interactions and political communication in the digital age. Individuals, government, and non-governmental entities keep up with the trends presented by social media platforms in carrying out different political functions such as an election. The advent of social media platforms makes it easier for electorate, political actors, parties and electoral commissions to engage and exchange information, views and ideas during the pre and postelection periods. This study found that social media platforms positively and negatively influence the African continent's election processes and outcomes. It found that political news and information on social media influence people's voting decisions and the political actor/s and parties to follow. The study further shows that electorate behaviours keep changing due to information available on social media platforms. The platforms help them define their views about a particular party, political actors, and their reaction to an election outcome.

In order to gain an insight into the various roles that the media play during electioneering, the study reviewed various published research studies on the role of the media in setting news agenda. Agenda-setting theory was used to clarify who set the agenda between the media and political parties. The findings from the content analysis of the reviewed literature provided a comprehensive and detailed discourse of media effect on society during electioneering. The study concluded that the more the emphasis on a news item, the more the electorates will regard the issue as significant and consequently act (effect) as directed by the news item. The study recommends non-partisan political news coverage by mass media that give equal chance to political parties.
The government, mass media, myths and misconceptions of sickle cell disease : impact on the sustainable- development goal of healthy lives in Nigeria
Authors: Onyeisi Morka Emmanuel
Published: November 2020

This study reviewed the expected role of the mass media in setting an agenda of public benefit with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of ensuring healthy lives and the promotion of well-being for all at all ages. Nigeria bears a high burden of sickle cell disease in the world. Five percent (5%) of the global population is carriers of the sickle cell trait and one out of every four Nigerian bears the sickle cell gene. Fifty to ninety percent (50% to 90%) of those born with the disease die before the age of five. Ethno-religious beliefs and ignorance are the two factors that are responsible for the misconceptions of the disease among Nigerians. There is the near-absence of the effort of the mass media in setting agenda for public discourse on the disease. There is the need to promote health education and awareness campaign that will bring about a modification in the attitudes that posses as risk factors. The press and media houses should be given freedom of expression.

Aim: to study a contribution of eNOS (4a/4b) gene polymorphism in the development of arterial hypertension (AH) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Patients and Methods: 143 patients with RA were examined, among which a group of patients without AH (n=50) and a group of patients with RA in association with AH (n=93) were selected. Healthy volunteers (n=151) were also divided into 2 groups, comparable in age and gender to the main groups. A range of clinical, laboratory, and instrumental methods were used in this study. We also conducted molecular genetics. Blood samples were taken from all patients in the study. DNA was isolated using the phenol-chloroform DNA extraction method. Genotyping for the eNOS gene was performed by PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction — Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) analysis. PCR was performed with a set of primers to the corresponding genome regions. PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis in a 4% polyacrylamide gel followed by staining with ethidium bromide.Results: during the molecular genetics, there was a statistically significant prevalence of 4a/4a homozygous genotype and 4a alleles of eNOS gene polymorphism in patients with RA in association with AH versus these parameters in patients with RA without AH. The estimated risk concerning odds ratio of RA occurrence in association with AH in carriers of 4a/4a genotype in the eNOS gene was 3.635 times higher versus carriers of 4a/4b and 4b/4b genotypes. 4a allele was significantly more common in the group of patients with RA in association with AH versus the control group (OR=3.458 [95% CI 1.571–4.575]; p<0.05). There were no statistically significant values in the group of patients with RA without AH versus the control group with healthy volunteers.Conclusion: 4а/4a homozygous genotype and 4a allele of the eNOS 4a/4b gene polymorphism are predictors of RA development in association with AH.KEYWORDS: rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular pathology, arterial hypertension, molecular genetics, single-nucleotide polymorphism, genetic association.FOR CITATION: Chernova A.A., Nikulina S.Yu., Tolstokorova Yu.A.

The pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has increased the need for comprehensive courses to support innate antiviral immunity. The authors’ systematic computer analysis of the texts of more than 21,000 publications devoted to coronaviruses and the infections caused by them showed that weakening the effects of the cytokine storm and compensating the patient’s chronic comorbid pathologies are fundamentally important for improving the therapy and prevention efficacy of COVID-19. In the case of COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2, it has been shown that assessment of the patient nutritional status is mandatory before applying certain approaches to the pharmacotherapy of viral infections. In this article, the authors consistently consider the most important micronutrients, which are essential for the maintenance of innate immunity and prevention of comorbid pathologies. Increasing the body’s supply of micronutrients (such as zinc, selenium, magnesium, manganese, vitamins A, C, D, E, group B, rutin, and glucosamine sulfate) helps support the activity of interferon-dependent antiviral protection, reduce chronic inflammation and reduce the effects of the cytokine storm, as well as compensate for comorbid pathologies. The effects of glucosamine sulfate, acting by inhibiting the central regulator of inflammation NF-κB, contributes to the solution of all these problems.KEYWORDS: micronutrient, nutritional status, innate immunity, glucosamine sulfate, antiviral immunity, COVID-19.FOR CITATION: Gromova O.A., Torshin I.Yu., Lila A.M. et al.

The article is devoted to the study of the microbial starter cultures preservation during the process of long-term maintenance of the sourdough in the laboratory, as well as the study of the influence of microbiota changes on the physicochemical indicators of the sourdough. The leading role in sourdough is played by lactic acid bacteria and yeast, the quality of the starter culture and bread itself largely depends on the ratio and species diversity of this microorganisms. The strains of L. paracasei / L. casei 5, L. paracasei / L. casei 63, L. plantarum 78 and the yeast C. milleri Chernorechensky are used to prepare sourdough. It was shown that the use of starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in the technology of dense rye sourdough leads to the dominance of starter microorganisms and the sourdough production having good biotechnological characteristics already in the first phase of preparinf. However, with long-term maintenance of the sourdough, new species of lactic acid bacteria begin to dominate, which differ from those introduced in first phase. It was found that changes in the starter culture microbiota had a significant effect on the physicochemical indicators of the starter culture quality.

The article considers the results of research conducted during electric contact heating of rye-wheat dough pieces. It is established that the electrical conductivity of the crumb dough does not depend on the total humidity of the material, but mainly on the amount of free moisture. Using the current and temperature graphs, you can imagine how free moisture changes during the baking process and the influence of the thermophysical and colloidal process on the change in the value of free moisture. Experimentally determined the amount of heat that is spent on baking 1 kg of bread. The accuracy of the theoretical calculation of this parameter in the heat balance of the baking chamber is confirmed.
Chasing Smokestacks in the Dark: The Amazon HQ2 Quest Revives Debate Over Economic Development Secrecy
Authors: Conza Sabrina
Published: November 2020

The 2017 competition for Amazon’s second headquarters, which drew more than 200 applications, is a prime example of how states and localities are attempting to keep confidential information about tax benefits and other deals with private companies. While Amazon’s competition may be a more dramatic example, states and localities regularly craft deals with private companies. Hundreds of deals—with tax breaks, offers of public property, and other sweeteners—are proposed annually to attract companies that promise to bolster the local economy with new jobs and spin-off industries. This paper, utilizing legal analysis and interviews, explores the pattern of confidentiality in economic development deals nationwide, providing recommendations for balancing secrecy and transparency.

Suicide among Undergraduate Students in Southeast Nigeria: An Empirical Evaluation of Durkheim’s Classifications of Suicide
Authors: Okafor Samuel O.
Published: November 2020

The Durkheimian sociological doctrine of suicide is classified into regulation/integration, high and low social currents, with four resultant suicide types such as egoistic, altruistic, anomic and fatalistic suicide. Across Nigeria and social classes, suicide types and circumstances according to the above classifications have become worrisome, warranting empirical investigation into the social wellbeing and suicide potentials in the social realm of Nigerian socio-economic and political landscape. As such, this study investigated the suicide tendency among undergraduate students in some selected institutions of higher learning in south-eastern Nigeria. The study adopted a survey design using a sample size of 2,200 students (17+). The study adopted parametric statistics for the test of the relationship of variables. In the overall findings, altruistic suicide tendency is high (60%), this is followed by anomic suicide tendency (47%), egoistic suicide tendency (46%) and fatalistic suicide tendency (41%). From the regression model (p< .05), altruistic suicide tendency was found to be predicted by family income and strong ties with family activities. Equally, anomic suicide tendency can be predicted by how many years the students have been in the school. Egoistic suicide tendency was found to be positively correlated with family income and source of sponsorship while fatalistic suicide tendency was found to be positively correlated with only family income.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Mironov Vladimir
Published: November 2020

The article problematizes the consequences of digital culture development. It is shown that up to the last third of XX century communication between cultures was realized as a dialogue of local formations, where human evolution was based on the human essence and was dominated by a cultural man or "Ho-mo sapiens". As a result of technological achievements, there was a transformation of the dialogue space of local formations. Communication turned into a core of modern culture. The paper analyzes the conse-quences of the introduction of new technologies. At the end of the work, the author raises a rhetorical question about the entry of mankind into a new stage of its evolution, where genetic engineering and new technologies can create a superhuman "Homo sapientissimus".

Published: November 2020

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of genetic and non-genetic factors on the birth weight and weaning weight of lambs. The study was carried out on the basis of the Institute of Animal Husbandry of Steppe Regions named by M. F. Ivanov “Askania-Nova” – the National Scientific Agricultural Center in Sheep Breeding of NAAS. Birth and weaning weights data collected during a 5-vear period from 3961 lambs were used. The reproductive traits of the Ascanian fine-fleece (AC) ewes were evaluated in combination with the rams of different genotypes: Ascanian fine-fleece, Australian merino (AM) and half-bred animals (1/2AC+1/2AM). The main effect of the ram genotype and the year of lambing, the age of the ewes, the litter size, the sex of lamb and the sex ratio in twins on the birth weight and weaning weight of lambs was analysed using one-way ANOVA. Differences between years of the 5-year period were highly significantly (P < 0.001) for all lamb traits studied. The effects of the environmental factor (year of lambing) on the birth weight and weaning weight of lambs represented 27.2 and 15.2 per cent of the total variance, respectively. The ram-group effects, which are mainly genetic differences, were highly significant (P < 0.001) in all traits. Age of dam had significant effect on the birth weight of lambs (P = 0.048) and was relatively unimportant as a source of variation. Two-year-old ewes bore lighter lambs than older ewes. There were no significant differences in the weaning weight of lambs from the ewes of different age classes. Survival rate was related to birth weight of lambs. Lamb survival increased up to a birth weight of 4.0 kg and only declined when they weighed more than 5.0 kg at birth. Our results showed that singles were 0.61 kg heavier than twins at birth and were 2.42 kg heavier than twins at weaning. Litter size (type of birth) was responsible for 42.5 and 10.0 % of total variability in birth and weaning weights of lambs, respectively (in both cases: P < 0.001). Average birth and weaning weights of male lambs were higher than the females (in both cases: P < 0.001).

The article the question of influence of feeding of the mixed fodders of different producers is considered on efficiency of growing of chickens-broilers. Results of research activities of efficiency of application of forage additions and basic forage are brought at growing of chickens-broilers in the conditions of poultry factory of the western region. It is determined that the combination of grain-growing components and concentrate 5 % LNB, that is added to the bulk of the mixed fodder, improves the power and biological value of the mixed fodders, in particular promotes genetic potential of modern cross-country race of “Ross-308”. Compounding the mixed fodders is brought and efficiency of application of concentrate is studied in feeding of chickens-broilers. Application of high-quality concentrate 5 % LNB in feeding of poultry provides more rationally and the economy use of feed. The results of researches are expounded in relation to the use of ВVMD and concentrate of LNB of different producers in feeding of chickens-broilers. It is determined that at application in the mixed fodders of concentrate 5 % LNB the productivity rises for chickens-broilers, the stored gets better to the sapling/pl and the charges of  feed go down on unit of products. The mixed fodder is made from own feed raw material with addition of ВVMD, has more subzero productive action, however gives an opportunity to realize the modern level of genetic potential of the productivity of chickens-broilers of cross-country race of “Ross-308”. Use of concentrate of LNB in composition the mixed fodder, content of fat and albumen promote in pectoral muscles. Maybe anymore chickens-broilers consumed raw protein with a feed due to premix of LNB, the anymore albumen  accumulated in pectoral muscles. Addition in the complement of premix of LNB of phytase protein of feed allows more effectively to use by a bird and to convert him into albumens of the products. The effective growing of chickens-broilers is impossible without the correct use of feed raw material, application and dosage of  premix, quality mixing with a feed and technology of feeding of poultry.

Background. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a coefficient of variation in red blood cells that can decrease erythropoesis or increase the destructiveness of red blood cells. The objectives of research  to determine the relationship of RDW as an inflammatory marker with renal function and hematological parameters in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis

Method; Cross sectional research on 20 patients undergoing regular hemodialysis > 3 months in RSUP H Adam Malik Medan. Vital sign, antropometry and venous blood retrieval are performed  shortly  before hemodialysis. RDW measurement comes from the red blood cell distribution curve in hematological analysis and is an indicator of variation in red blood cell size.

Result: out  of 20 subjek studies,  there were 13 men (65.0%) and 7 (35.0%) women The majority of subjects had comorbid  diabetes mellitus  14 (70.0%), hypertension 4 (20.0%). The average length of time patients underwent  hemodialysis was 24.45 ± 20.98 months. There is a significant correlation between RBW and creatinine, Hb, and neutropil (r: 0.519, p:0,019*; r:  0.497,  p: 0.026*;r: 0.464,  p: 0.039*, respectively)

Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between RBW and creatinine, Hb and neutropphils in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis > 3 months.

Published: November 2020

Background: Insulin Resistance (IR) causes a metabolic disorder including hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship of Triglycerides and Glucose Index (Tyg) decline relationship with lipid profile after bay leaf extract treatment in dyslipidemia patients. Method: Fifteen dyslipidemia patients were administered 2x200 mg salam leaf extract capsules for 30 days. Criteria dyslipidemia is defined as one of the following: total cholesterol level ≥ 240 mg/dL, triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dL, LDL cholesterol levels ≥140 mg/dL, HDL cholesterol levels <40 mg/dL, or the use of lipid-lowering drugs. Blood samples lipid profile for biochemical tests were drawn in the morning after fasting 12 h. Anthropometric BMI and waist circumference measures were taken using standard procedures. The TG/HDL-C ratio was calculated by dividing the serum concentration of TG by HDL-C measured in mg/dL. TyG index was calculated based on formula: Ln [TG (mg/dL) x FG (mg/dL). Result: After 30 days of salam leaf extract treatment, there was a significant correlation of TyG reduction with parameters TC, LDL-C, TG, TG/HD ratio (p: 0.025*, p: 0.001*, p: 0.013*, sequentially) Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between Tyg reduction with TC, TG, and TG/HDL, which leads to a decrease in cardiovascular risk in dyslipidemia patients.

Published: November 2020

A Síndrome de Tolosa-Hunt (STH), descrita como uma oftalmoplegia dolorosa, é uma doença de caráter idiopático, rara, que pode acometer um ou mais pares de nervos cranianos, em especial o oculomotor, abducente e troclear. O relato do caso tem como intuito facilitar o diagnóstico da situação clínica e do tratamento, feito à base de corticosteroides e que possui ampla resposta. Para tanto foram utilizados exames de imagem como Tomografia Computadorizada e Angiorresonância Magnética arterial e venosa, ambas do crânio, para detecção de possíveis anormalidades que pudessem estar relacionadas a STH. A conduta para a realização dos exames ocorreu devido a sinais e sintomas apresentados pelo paciente após episódios recorrentes. Visto que a descrição do caso somado aos registros fotográficos podem fornecer referências das características pertinentes a STH, além do prognóstico, busca-se contribuir à comunidade médica com os possíveis aspectos presentes em pacientes, os quais parecem ter certa complexidade em consequência da inabitual ocorrência da patologia.

The purpose of this study was to measure the impacts of airport road access design and wayfinding systems on senior driver performances. A car driving simulator was used to model scenarios of differing wayfinding complexity and road design. Three scenario types were designed consisting of 3.8 miles of airport road (i.e. approximately 4 minutes driving to complete each scenario). Experienced car drivers were asked to drive simulated routes. Forty drivers in the age ranges: 50 to 54, 55 to 59 and those aged over 60 were selected to perform the study. Participants drove for approximately 20 minutes to complete the simulated driving. The driver performance was compared between age groups. Results were analysed by Mean, Standard Deviation and ANOVA Test, and discussed with reference to the use of the driving simulator. The ANOVA results showed that in comparison of senior drivers’ age group, there is a low impact between driving behaviour and road safety on airport road access wayfinding design.
ATTITUDES TOWARDS CHANGE AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE: A CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSION
Authors: Zakaria Ashiah , Abdullah Haim Hilman
Published: November 2020

Employees’ attitudes towards change and organizational performance are extremely interrelated each other hence approving that the performance of organization is exaggerated through the attitudes of employees towards change. The literature shows that successful organizational change and performance are determined by the willingness to embrace change. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the conceptualization of change attitudes including readiness and openness towards change, and cynicism about organizational change in responding to change initiative which therefore impacts the outcomes and performance of organization.
