Authors: Arhipov Anatoliy E. , Grigoriev Evgeniy A.
Published: March 2021

The article focuses on the problem of modernizing the national economy, which has acquired special significance in Russia in the context of globalization of the world space. The concept of modernization is sufficiently multifaceted, it presupposes both the transformation of existing social structures and the emergence of new institutions and forms of interaction between them. The heterogeneity and multilevel structure of modernization processes determine the complexity of their regulation. The processes of social changes characterized by different speed, scale and target predetermined the need for their multifactor analysis. The terminology and scope of application of the conceptual apparatus of innovative modernization is clarified, differences in research approaches to the principles of constructing trajectories of the modernization process with an emphasis on the integration of the potential of individual structural elements are noted. The study of structural disproportion in the levels of technological development in the branches of domestic industry made it possible to substantiate the need for the transition to the technological paradigms V and VI. There have been formulated the parameters and mechanisms for reforming technological structures that contribute to the accumulation of intra-industry and intersectoral potential within high-tech and science-intensive industries. When the industrial sector of the economy plays a dominant role, the transition to the innovative development model is becoming the most important condition for overcoming the crisis. The expediency of the formation of creative institutions designed to stimulate innovative behavior, the generation of new areas of entrepreneurial activity is noted. The conclusion is made about the need to optimize intersectoral financial flows that contribute to the formation of growth points of the Russian economy.

Authors: Iglina Nataliia A. , Nabiev Ramazan A.
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the problem of a sharp increase in the workload of scientific and pedagogical staff (SPS) of higher educational institutions, which has worsened under the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis of the main reasons for the growing workload has been carried out (the need to develop e-learning courses and replace colleagues due to the increased morbidity), as well as the possible negative impact of this factor on the higher education system. The assessment of the increasing volume of educational and methodological work during the transition to a combination of traditional and distance education technologies is carried out. Based on the analysis of the standard procedure for rationing the work of scientific and pedagogical staff, which is widespread in the Russian universities, the proposals for creating the innovative system of organization and remuneration of teachers are developed. The system is based on the differentiation of the categories of SPS, depending on the main activities performed (educational, research, methodological, etc.) into three sub-categories: SPE of the specialized department, SPE of the academic department, and SPE of a professional organization. There is proposed a matrix distribution of official salaries, depending on the SPE subcategory and qualification level. The teacher's salary consists of a fixed official salary and a flexible system of allowances based on the use of weight coefficients that are changed in accordance with the priority directions of the educational organization's development strategy. The proposed system can be adapted to the changing requirements of the labor market and education legislation and motivate the teachers to self-development, to using innovative educational technologies and research activities, and at the same time can retain all state guarantees for remuneration.

Every element of the community in the village should participate to optimize the potency that the village has.  The village in Kuala Betara sub-district have marine resources, agriculture and plantation. Even with all of that benefit, if there is no support from creative human resources, it must be difficult for the village to create creative industry. Small and medium industry entrepreneurs have been utilizing the natural wealth of the village as the raw material of their production but they face obstacles in managing it due to their limited skills that are acquired self-taught and passed on from generation to generation, limited capital, unsophisticated production and packaging tools, limited market access due to limited production and the market is conventional only, including being not optimal in involving youth who are better in information technology. Meanwhile, the information about creative products can be easily obtained through internet. In addition, the youth also have not optimized the usage of internet as the media to collect creative ideas that will be useful in developing products of small and medium industry in the village. Besides, this industry can be a platform for youth to increase the quality through creativity. The method used in this research is survey with descriptive analysis. The result shows that the creativity of small and medium industry entrepreneurs and youth is in average level. Started from the main characteristics of creative people, possible characteristic of creative people, and side characteristic of creative people.  . Even so, it is found that there are three entrepreneurs of small and medium industry and 42 youth who are belong to high level of creative people. These kind of people are the main and valuable assets to collaborate and becoming the foundation of creative industry in village.

Research on FDI in promoting economic growth has been the focus of recent decades, especially in developing countries. Foreign direct investment can be one of the main objectives in increasing economic growth. FDI is assumed to indirectly contribute to economic growth through a spillover effect on the absorption capacity of a country by increasing the stock of human capital and the quality of institutions. This study aims to analyze the spillover effect of FDI on economic growth in Asian emerging markets. The data were analyzed using dynamic panel regression (GMM) during 2008-2017 period with STATA 14 software.The results in this study strongly indicate that the spillovers of FDI is proven to be able to drive economic growth through human capital and institutions in Asian emerging markets.
Left atrial conduit function modulates right ventricular afterload, exercise capacity and survival in heart failure patients
Authors: Zanaboni Jacopo , Panizza Alice , Marino Paolo N.
Published: March 2021

Aims

To assess if left atrial phasic function characteristics modulate functional capacity/survival by impacting on the pulsatile component of right ventricular (RV) afterload, as represented by pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC).

Materials and methods

Sixty heart failure patients (67 ± 11 years, ejection fraction 39 ± 11%, range 20--62%) underwent 6 min walk test (6MWT) and 3D transthoracic echocardiography. Left atrial conduit was computed off-line, gathering simultaneous real-time 3D multibeats (six cycles) left atrial and left ventricular (LV) volume curves, with conduit (time) = [LV (time) − LV minimum volume] − [left atrial maximum volume − left atrial (time)], expressed as % LV stroke volume. Atrial stiffness (K
la) was computed using noninvasively assessed wedge pressure divided by left atrial reservoir (maximum − minimum) volume. PAC was obtained as ratio between RV stroke volume, obtained as pulsed Doppler RV outflow tract envelope∗cross-sectional area, and pulmonary pulse pressure, obtained by transforming tricuspid regurgitant velocity in millimetres of mercury and considering diastolic pulmonary as a fixed fraction of systolic pressure.

Results

Conduit averaged 34 ± 12%, PAC 3.1 ± 1.1 ml/mmHg, 6MWT 404 ± 154 m. Conduit was independent of LV volumes and ejection fraction, showing a direct dependence on noninvasive K
la (r = 0.56; P < 0.001). Dividing patients into tertiles according to 6MWT and to PAC, the largest conduit fraction was associated with the lowest functional capacity (P < 0.001) and most deranged PAC (P < 0.001), respectively, suggesting outmost RV haemodynamic burden. Tertiles of conduit predicted survival (P = 0.01).

Conclusion

Conduit depends on noninvasively assessed K
la and appears to be increased in heart failure patients with lowest capacity and worst survival, likely as RV pulsatile afterload, as reflected by PAC, is highest in these individuals.

Published: March 2021

Aims

Resource optimization in the intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) is, nowadays, of great importance because of the increasing number of acute cardiovascular patients requiring high-intensity level-of-care. Because of natural limits in ICCU bed availability, understanding, which patients will really benefit from in a such a critical care setting, is of paramount importance. In our study, we analysed a heterogeneous ICCU population with initially stable haemodynamic conditions, in order to find potential predictors of severe complications.

Methods

Nine hundred and fifty patients admitted to our ICCU during the year 2019 were screened in order to detect those with a stable haemodynamic condition at admission. Data were extrapolated from an internal database. Comorbidity burden was expressed by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Our primary end point was defined by a combination of severe complications requiring critical care, and in-hospital death.

Results

Ninety-eight patients (14.1% of 695 stable patients identified) developed severe complications. After a multivariable logistic regression analysis, four predictors were identified: signs of congestive heart failure [OR: 9.25, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.61–15.25; P < 0.001], SBP 120 mmHg or less (OR: 2.10, 95% CI: 1.27–3.47; P = 0.004), haemoglobin level 13 g/dl or less (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.03–2.95; P = 0.037), and the CCI above 3 (OR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.13–4.56; P = 0.022).

Conclusion

In our study, 73% of patients showed a stable haemodynamic condition on admission. Severe complications occurred in 14.1% of these patients, and signs of heart failure were the main determinants of the outcome. SBP, haemoglobin level, and the CCI concurred in the prediction of severe complications during the hospital stay.

Boro rice (grown in winter under irrigated condition) contributes to the major portion of rice production (over 50%) in Bangladesh. Binadhan-17 is a green super rice developed by BINA which requires 30% less nitrogenous fertilizer and water which is grown in aman season (primely produced under rainfed). Due to it’s increasing popularity and adoption rice growers are keen to cultivate it in boro season also. Taking account of the above situation, two field trials were conducted at Magura during November 2019 to May 2020 to investigate the effect of variety, sowing dates and their interaction. Factorial RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) was applied for experimentation. Two rice varieties: Binadhan-17 (V1), BRRI dhan58 (V2) and three sowing times: 30th November (T1), 10th December (T2), 20th December (T3) were used as treatments. 35 days old seedlings were transplanted in main field. Relevant agronomic and morphological data were statistically analyzed through Statistix 10.0. Combined effect of the above factors at farm exposed that, T1×V1 required longest days (159.33 days) to mature. but, comparatively short life cycle (149.97 days) was observed by T3×V2. Maximum grain was yielded (7.70 t/ha) by T2×V1 and minimum (5.74 t/ha) by T1×V1 treatment combination. Outcomes of on station revealed that, T1×V1 needed more days (158.00 days) to mature; conversely, alike duration was noted with T2×V2 (147.20 days) and T3×V2 (145.43 days) which matured quite earlier. T2×V1 produced the highest grain yield (7.41 t/ha) and T1×V2 the lowest (5.94 t/ha). Our results indicate that, planting of Binadhan-17 on 10th December may give insect-disease free grains with optimum yield in context of Magura region. Farmers will be financially benefited if they cultivate this variety in the boro season in lieu of aman; due to higher yield
АНАТОМІЧНА БУДОВА РОСЛИН GLYCINE MAX MOENCH. ЗА ДІЇ ШТАМУ BRADYRHIZOBIUM JAPONICUM ТА РЕТАРДАНТУ

Published: March 2021

The effect of nodule bacteria strain Bradyrhizobium japonicum and the integrated use of the strain and retardant of the triazole class - tebuconazole on linear growth, anatomical structure of Glycine plants and their influence on crop productivity were studied in the field experiment. It was found that both the aplication of Bradyrhizobium japonicum M 8 strain solely and the complex use of the preparations (treatment of the plants with retardant at the beginning of reproductive organ formation, against presowing inoculation of soybean seeds) affected experimental plants’ height, histological parameters of the vegetative organs in comparison with those of untreated control. The use of growth regulators caused changes in the leaf surface area, mesostructural organization of the leaves and accumulation of photosynthetic pigments in them. There were also indicated observable changes in the size of the bark and mechanical tissues of the stem. The effect of the restrictive growth regulators was apparant in the following: the strain of nodule bacteria caused an increase in the linear size of the stem and leaf surface of plants against control. The mutual use of tebuconazole- retardant and strain Bradyrhizobium japonicum led to a decrease in apical dominance of plants, leaf thickness due to increased cell size of wall and spongy parenchymas and intensification of chlorophyll accumulation. Treated plants were characterized by changes in the size of their bark and structural tissues of the stem (collenchyma and sclerenchyma), which is a prerequisite for higher resistance to lodging of plants. The mutual effect of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain and the triazole preparation proved to be most efficacious among the preparations used. Exogenous application of tebuconazole against the strain of nodule- forming bacteria contributes essentially to the strength of the stem, improves donor functions of Glycine hispida Max, which further secures growth and development of generative organs towards improving yield capasity.

The article studies the value of beans and soybeans as precursors of winter sowing rye, and the effectiveness of the Abacus fungicide to reduce the spread of crop diseases in soil and climatic conditions of the Ternopil region.
The research proves that the pesticide reduces the spread of powdery mildew by 2.7 and 3.0 %, brown rust by 2.9 and 3.2 %, leaf septoria by 6.0, and by 7.1 % in the sowing of rye Kharkiv 98. It shows high technical efficiency of application against the stated above diseases, in particular, 50.2 and 58.7 %, 49.2 and 46.9 %, 69.5 and 70.5 % respectively.
The use of Abacus significantly increases the grain productivity of rye, which is sown after soybeans (by 2.06 t/ha), compared to the predecessor of beans (1.66 t/ha). This increase in rye grain yield growth after the soybean precursor due to the fungicide is associated with a significant formation of plant density by 26.9 %, total by 36.1 %, and productive by 21.1 %, an increase in quantity (by 13.4 %) and the grains mass in the rye ears (by 19.1 %) and the higher increase in the biological yield of aboveground mass by 38.4 % for the predecessor of soybeans, compared with the growth of these indicators by 2.8, 25.3, 18.6, 4.6, 9.5, 30.4 % accordingly, sowing rye after beans.
Despite the higher efficiency of the Abacus fungicide in sowing rye after soybean, for its productivity, a more important factor for crop formation was the predecessor, beans, which indicates a higher grain yield compared to the soybeans predecessor, as well as using the Abacus fungicide by 0.46 t/ha, and also in the absence of chemical protection by 0.86 t/ha.
Analysis of the elements of productivity showed that the higher value of beans as rye precursor, compared with soybeans, is realized, regardless of the use of pesticides, due to higher plant density by 41.6–74.8 %, total stem density by 21.7–32.2 %, and productive stems density by 17.5–20.0 %, as well as the increase of plant height by 3.1–8.8 %, which led to the increase in total biological yield by 38.2–46.6 % and its component, masses of straw, by 49.0–56.1 %. Measurement of rye ears length, counting the number of spikelets and grains in the inflorescences revealed a slight effect of predecessors on these indicators. Significant increase in vegetative mass of rye after the predecessor of beans and limited influence of both predecessors on the generative sphere of plants led to the decrease in grain yield in crops by 6.1–7.5 % compared to plants sown after soybeans, regardless of fungicide.
Given the higher value of beans compared to soybeans as precursors of rye in its productivity and lack of significant impact on spread of disease, as well as the high efficiency of the Abacus fungicide, it is recommended sewing rye after beans in crop rotation and use pesticides as a tool efficient in crop cultivation in local soil and climatic conditions.

The review analyzes the effect of organic-mineral fertilizers (OMF) on morphogenesis, physiological processes, productivity and fruit quality of edible tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Tomatoes are known to play a primary role in providing the population with quality vegetable products, due to a large number of sugars (2.5–4.2 %), organic acids (0.4–0.9 %), vitamins, lycopene (0.3 %), fiber (0.3–0.9 %), mineral and aromatic compounds. The annual rate of human consumption of tomatoes, according to scientists, should be 39 kg.

It is noted that the use of OMF and humic preparations is an integral part of organic farming. According to DSTU ISO 4884: 2007 organic-mineral fertilizer is a fertilizer obtained by physical and / or chemical interaction of organic and mineral components.

Growing tomatoes using organic technology reduces the size of the fruit, but makes tomatoes more tasteful compared to fruits grown in the traditional way, the accumulation in the fruit of useful iron, magnesium, vitamins and minerals. It is shown that humic compounds have a positive effect on all phases of the mitotic cycle of cells and increase the value of the mitotic index by 1.5 times, resulting in increased root formation, changes of cell membranes increase water supply and nutrients. Treatment of seeds before sowing with liquid complex nitrohumine fertilizer containing macro- and microelements increases germination by 10%. Feeding tomato plants with liquid OMF during the growing season allows to intensify the process of photosynthesis, ensure better development of the leaf surface and root system, increase the laying of more reproductive organs and reduce disease incidence, resulting in a 40 % increase in yield and improved quality. The stimulating effect of humic acids on rooting of tomato seedlings, growth processes, increase of resistance to temperature decrease is revealed.

Growth stimulants and liquid nitrogen fertilizers also streamline growth, increase productivity and quality of tomatoes.

Thus, the use of organic-mineral fertilizers based on humic substances affects the development of edible tomatoes, streamlines the physiological processes in plants, their resistance to abiotic and biotic factors, fruit yield by 26–51 % and their quality, morpho-biometric and biochemical parameters of seedlings.

Lipids are a heterogeneous group of chemical compounds that are found in all animal and plant organisms and combine based on common properties. The physiological role of lipids in fish is extremely important and diverse. They perform a number of functions, including energetical, structural, regulatory and others.

The authors analyzed the data in the domestic and foreign literature on the structural and functional importance of lipids in fish. The role of lipids in the processes of adaptation of aquatic organisms to adverse factors of the aquatic environment (temperature, salinity, chemical pollution) by changing the ratio of certain classes of lipids, their fatty acid composition and spatial orientation of fatty acid "tails" in biological membranes. The regulatory role of lipids in the functioning of membrane enzymes is analyzed.

The authors argue that to find the causes of reduced productivity of fish in a polluted aquatic environment, it is necessary to study bodily changes in lipid metabolism, which are one of the main structural and metabolic compounds, responsible for the formation of adaptive reactions.

By adaptation to low temperatures the inclusion of polyene fatty acids in the membrane lipids increases and also increases desaturation. Caused by changes in the temperature of the adjustment in the composition of membrane lipids are aimed at maintaining the mobility of membranes. By adaptation to the temperature factor the level of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, the ratio of the main classes of phospholipids and cholesterol, asymmetry in the distribution of proteins and lipids in the cell membrane may change.

The effects of hydrostatic pressure and salinity of water on lipid metabolism in fish are analyzed. It has been established that phase transitions are largely determined by the same properties of membrane lipids as with temperature change. First of all, it is the degree of saturation of fatty acids, the length of their chain, the position of the double bond and the number of hydrocarbon atoms (pair or not pair). It is shown that in the organs and tissues or fish, involved in the processes of osmoregulation, during adaptation to salt water the lipid content increases.

Under the influence of toxic factors in different species of fish a general adaptation strategy is traced, which consists of increasing the content of those lipid fractions, that maintain the energy status of fish for excretion and neutralization of toxicants, reducing the permeability of biological cell membranes to limit the entry of toxicants into fish organism.

Published: March 2021

Stress at work has touched most the professions. The lives of teaching medical faculties are often stressful. Increased exposure to stressful events may cause psycho-social disorders like depression, anxiety, self-doubt, insomnia and psychosomatic disorders like impaired immune function, increased cardiovascular risk factors, migraine, ulcers etc. This may also affect the teaching qualities of the medical faculties to the students. Several studies on work-related stress have demonstrated that burnout has a strong impact on certain professions, teaching faculties in particular. This study was done to assess the level of stress and its sources among teaching medical faculties. A cross-sectional study was conducted using  a self-reported questionnaire which covered three categories, including socio-demographic details, Perceived Stress Scale and information regarding 16 selected stressors which were related to stress was collected. Data were  recorded, tabulated and analysed. The study showed that out of the 122 study subjects, majority of teaching medical faculties had a moderate level of stress (60.6%) whereas 35.2% had a low level of stress and only very few (4.2%) had a high level of stress. The mean PSS score in this study was 16.04 (±5.59 SD). The present study identified that majority of the teaching medical faculties have a moderate level of stress. Most of them find traffic while travelling to work, climatic conditions and high level of expectations from patients as stressors. Necessary workplace interventions should be made to help them cope with work. Every effort should be made to help them deal with stress effectively and safely.

Published: March 2021

Infertility is a major health concern that may be caused due to inadequate fertility hormones or poor quality of reproductive parameters. The environmental pollutants such as cadmium is one of the causative factors for inducing infertility in men. Cadmium accumulates in various tissues and affects reproductive organs, especially testis which is highly sensitive to cadmium poisoning. In this experiment, protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract (HAE) of Aloe vera with and without zinc has been evaluated. Zinc, protects the testes from damages resulting due to cadmium. Aloe vera is a very good source of antioxidants such as vitamin C and E. In this experiment male Wistar albino rats were grouped into 5. The control group received only the vehicle. Experimental groups were administered in Cd group with 10mg/Kg body weight of CdCl2, in Cd+Zn group 40mg/Kg body weight of CdCl2 and 40mg/Kg bodyweight of ZnCl2, in Cd+AV group 10mg/Kg body weight of CdCl2 and 200mg/Kg body weight of HAE of Aloe vera and in Cd+AV+Zn 10mg/Kg body weight of CdCl2, 200mg/Kg body weight of HAE of Aloe vera and 40mg/Kg bodyweight of ZnCl2. The results showed that cadmium caused extensive testicular damage which was protected by HAE of Aloe vera and zinc. Hence, protective effect of HAE of Aloe vera  was exhibited clearly in cadmium treated rats, however, supplementing Aloe vera with zinc provided better protection.

The Efficacy of mHealth Interventions in Treatment of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Research Protocol
Authors: Gandhi Krishna , Ives Rowan
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease characterized by dysfunctional glucose regulation resulting from issues with insulin production and/or regulation. If not controlled, GDM can have significant impacts on fetal development and may lead to complications in pregnant women. GDM is often treated with regular glycemic monitoring, dietary and lifestyle changes, and in most cases insulin injections. As a result of the number of interventions, managing GDM can add further stress to a pregnancy. In this study, we aim to investigate the effects of mobile health (mHealth) solutions on the outcomes of pregnant women experiencing GDM, and their babies.
Methods: The sample population of pregnant women with GDM will be split into two groups: the control group will receive usual care for glycemic control as outlined by their endocrinologists and/or gynecologists, while the experimental group will receive care for glycemic control using mHealth interventions. Patients will be monitored on a bi-weekly basis from the time they were diagnosed with GDM to the time of the delivery of their babies. Compliance, blood glucose levels, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, and weight gain will be monitored. A two-sample proportion test and 95% confidence interval will be generated to compare the variables between each category.
Results: We anticipate that the experimental group will have higher compliance, with less emergency outpatient visits, reduced weight gain, and higher satisfaction with their intervention method. We also anticipate the same blood glucose measurements in both pre- and post-prandial states. The same maternal and neonatal post-delivery outcomes are also expected.
Discussion: This study evaluates the effectiveness of mHealth interventions on glycemic control. Future research may investigate the maternal effects of stress in conjunction with diabetes, as well as evaluating existing mHealth solutions for factors such as accessibility, and available features.
Conclusion: We anticipate that mHealth interventions, used alongside traditional glycemic monitoring methods, will improve the outcomes of pregnant women with GDM by reducing stress and empowering them to take control of their own treatment.

One of the most important in human trafficking is the handling of victims. By normative research methods, it discusses the fulfillment of the rights of children who are vulnerable to becoming victims. There are two legal instruments in handling child as victims, there are Law Number 21 of 2007 and Law Number 35 of 2014.

For example, PT. Marxing Fam Makmur by registering the Superman trademark while it was registered first by DC Comics.

This study uses normative research methods which are sourced from secondary data as a support for qualitative analysis. Based on the analysis, it is known that the Superman brand belongs to PT.

Comparative Analysis of Regulations for Cybersecurity and Cyber Defence in the United States and Brazil
Authors: Brustolin Vitelio
Published: March 2021

In this article we compare the main regulations employed by the United States and Brazil for their respective cybersecurity and cyber defence. From this comparison we produced four main conclusions. First, the absence of an effective public policy for cybersecurity and cyber defence in the United States left the country vulnerable to Russian cyber-attacks that influenced the course of the 2016 Presidential Election. Second, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which was supported by Barack Obama, who was President at the time, would have increased US protection against cyber-attacks. However, the bill did not become law because it was defeated in the US Senate. Third, if Brazil had enacted legislation similar to the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, the country would have prevented most of the fake news and cyber-attacks that occurred in its own 2018 Presidential Election. Fourth, the main initiatives of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 can still be implemented by both the United States and Brazil. To reach these conclusions, we compared intended purpose of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, with facts that highlight the consequent failures in cybersecurity and cyber defence in the United States and Brazil.
