В статті розглянуто закономірності розвитку науково-технічного прогресу, а також перспективи розвитку технологій подвійного використання в Україні. Найбільш підготованими за кадровим складом, досвідом робіт та виробничим оснащенням є підприємства оборонної промисловості та космічної галузі, що створюють “проривнії” технології подвійного призначення та забезпечують науково-технічний прогрес. Цей потенціал дає найбільш вагомі та ефективні рішення при наявності достатнього фінансування, яке для розвинутих країн складає 2 % ВВП. В критичних для суспільства ситуаціях, таких як короновірусна пандемія, ці підприємства найшвидше дають відповідь – виклик у вигляді освоєння та випуску нової продукції. На прикладах передових підприємств оборонного комплексу України та Інститутів Національної академії наук України показана можливість створення подвійних технологій та випуску продукції цивільного призначення. В умовах обмеженого фінансування нових НДДКР доцільно проводити дослідження та пошукові розробки для створення нових приладів широкого вжитку, в першу чергу, медичного призначення, в яких є висока потреба суспільства, незважаючи на високу вартість. Такий підхід надасть підприємствам та Інститутам, крім державного фінансування, ще і підтримку інвесторів.

Published: January 2022

Melanoma is a very aggressive skin cancer that could metastasize to any organ in the body. The treatment of melanomas includes surgical resection, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. After resections, melanomas could recur at the previous site or present as a distant metastatic lesion. The symptoms of melanoma are vague and primarily occur because of the local disruption of the tissue architecture. Presented here is a case of gastric melanoma that presented with abdominal discomfort and melena in a patient with a history of penile melanoma that was completely resected 3 years earlier. This case illustrates the importance of having metastatic lesions to the intestinal tract as a differential for a patient with gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Published: January 2022

Peritoneal granulomatous reaction to foreign body-like materials of a dermoid cyst is a rare condition and has always been challenging in diagnosis for physicians. Macroscopic view of granulomatous peritoneum, which mimics peritoneal carcinomatosis or peritoneal seeding originating from ovarian carcinoma, necessitates a detailed microscopic evaluation of peritoneum, which shows multinucleated giant cells and granuloma formation indicating a foreign body reaction in the peritoneum. To avoid unnecessary radical surgeries and salvage chemotherapies in these patients, a detailed microscopic evaluation of their peritoneum is necessary. The present study introduces a 23-year-old woman with new-onset ascites and an elevation of CA125 level suspicious of ovarian carcinoma but with a peritoneal microscopic finding pathognomonic of foreign body reaction.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND Differentiation of benign and malignant biliary strictures plays a pivotal role in managing biliary strictures. Brush cytology via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are two diagnostic methods. In the present study, we aimed to compare the accuracy of the results of EUS-FNA and ERCP-based sampling of biliary strictures. METHODS In a prospective study, between January 2019 and March 2020, patients with indeterminate biliary strictures who had no history of hepatobiliary surgery, opium usage, cancer of pancratobiliary system, and acute liver disease were selected. They underwent EUS and ERCP in the same session. They were followed up for 6 months, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of these imaging modalities were compared. RESULTS A total of 60 patients were enrolled. 28 lesions were located in the distal and 32 lesions in the proximal parts of the biliary tree. 55 malignant and 5 benign lesions were diagnosed. The sensitivity and accuracy of EUS-FNA and ERCP tissue sampling were 78.2% and 80.0% versus 50.9% and 55.0%, respectively (p = 0.024). The combination of both methods improved the sensitivity and accuracy to 85.5% and 86.7%, respectively. Regarding the location, EUS-FNA is superior to ERCP-brush cytology in diagnosing proximal lesions with sensitivity and specificity of 73.3% and 75.0% vs. 50.0% and 53.1%, respectively (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION EUS-FNA is superior to ERCP brushing in the diagnosis of indeterminate biliary strictures, particularly in distal lesions. Combining ERCP brushing and EUS-FNA improves the diagnosis accuracy.

Published: January 2022

Intramural gas in the stomach associated with hepatic portal venous gas is a rare entity, which suggests ischemic or infectious pathology of the stomach. We report a case of a 73-year-old man who presented with epigastric pain and nausea of 6 hours duration followed by hematemesis. The patient had pale skin, anemia, and a diffusively tender and distended abdomen. Abdominal radiography and computed tomography (CT) revealed gas in thickened gastric wall and gas in intrahepatic portal vein branches. Surgery was indicated, which consisted of partial gastrectomy with Roux en esophago-jejunal anastomosis. Postoperative course was uneventful, and pathohistological analysis indicated stomach wall necrosis with emphysametous gastritis (EG). The patient was free of symptoms at 2 years follow-up. Intramural gas in the stomach should always be meticulously investigated to differentiate between emphysematous gastritis and gastric emphysema, as this would direct the therapeutic approach to be adopted.

Prueba de oficio en democracia constitucional
Authors: Cupe Calcina Eloy Marcelo
Published: January 2022

Este artículo analiza un aspecto fundamental de la democracia constitucional: la jurisdicción, la cual le exige al juez conocer la ley y los hechos; ello implica establecer la verdad en correspondencia con la realidad, ya que sin ella no puede haber una decisión justa; por este motivo, en un Estado democrático constitucional, el juez debe procurar conocer la realidad de los hechos, ya que el objeto esencial de todo proceso es la búsqueda de la verdad. Si legalmente se ha optado por otorgarle al juez la facultad de disponer la actuación de los medios de prueba de oficio, el ejercicio de dicha facultad se encuentra garantizado por la Constitución.

Ineficiencia del sistema penal en el incremento de la criminalidad
Authors: Gómez Pilco Elke Lizeth Génesis
Published: January 2022

Cuando el populismo penal mediático se ciñe a incrementar las penas para frenar la tasa delictiva en asuntos de criminalidad, sus esfuerzos no surten efecto, dado que sus medidas, además de demagógicas, son cortoplacistas, efímeras y carecen de diagnósticos técnicos, sociológicos, entre otras aristas pertinentes. Este trabajo se enfoca en analizar este fenómeno y proponer que los órganos competentes del sistema penal han sucumbido en el abismo, pues no afianzan su baluarte académico-científico y, en consecuencia, no brindan alternativas serias, profundas y eficaces para luchar contra la criminalidad.

Published: January 2022

The review presents modern ideas about the prevalence and etiopathogenesis of the gastrointestinal tract inflammatory diseases, in particular, colitis. The factors that determine their high medical and social significance and the main complications that could develop under these conditions are identified. According to the literature, chronic colitis of various etiologies provoke significant pathological changes in the qualitative and quantitative of the small intestinal microflora composition, which leads to disturbances of a number of biologically active compounds synthesis and immune system pathological changes. Unfortunately, in a significant number of patients with chronic enterocolitis develop serious complications, and approximately in 10% of patients develop colorectal cancer, which has an unfavorable prognosis. The article presents a comparative analysis of colitis experimental models with different etiology (spontaneous, induced, colitis model with using genetically modified animals, etc.). Different courses (acute and chronic), different histological and biochemical changes are typical for colitis different models. Each experimental model has features of reproduction in laboratory animals. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account pathologies features and choose an experimental model depending on the purpose of the study. In particular, the model of formalin-induced colitis or acetic acid-induced colitis is optimal for the study of the pathogenesis proinflammatory component, the model of peptidoglycan-polysaccharide-induced colitis or dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis is preferable model for chronic ulcerative colitis evaluation.

Authors: Fonseca Claudia Aparecida , Guelpeli Marcus Vinícius Carvalho , Netto Rafael Santiago de Souza
Published: January 2022

The present article was developed in the field of Natural Language Processing and Language Studies based on a corpus compiled by computational tools. This study is based on the assumption that it is helpful to trace a close relationship between corpus generation/annotation and the assessment of the constitutive elements of the text genre source. It aims to demonstrate, through specific studies of structured data from the text genre ‘scientific article’, alternatives to automatic text processing techniques. In order to reach the intended goal, the authors created a computational model for the compilation of a linguistic, specialized Corpus, representative of the genre Scientific Article - CorpACE. The object of study includes the constitutive elements of scientific articles, marked in XML, extracted and collected from the SciELO-Scientific Electronic Library On-line database. The final product was a database obtained with information extracted and structured in XML format, which designates and identifies the markups of the genre being analyzed and is available for many tools and applications. The results demonstrate how the representation of constitutive elements of the genre can condense available information with hierarchical and dynamic processes built during the compilation. At the end of the study, it is believed that more research will be required for bringing Language Science and Computer Science closer with emphasis on NLP in the attempt to represent and manipulate linguistic knowledge in its many levels – morphological, syntactic, semantic and discursive – in order to improve implementation and manipulation of automatic text processing.

Published: January 2022

Corncob (CC) is one of the high-yield agricultural by-products used for recycling in many fields. Corncob-based biochar (CCB) is considered a potentially low-cost adsorbent. The article aims to describe the structural and morphological changes of CCB under different pyrolysis temperatures (350oC, 450oC, and 550 oC) and duration (30, 60, and 90 minutes). Using the FTIR, SEM, BET, and BJH analysis, the evolution of the changes in the properties of CCBs was evaluated. FTIR spectra showed that the surface of CCBs contained abundant carbon-containing in functional groups such as an alkane, aromatic ring, are suitable for binding pollutants in solution. It might be concluded that the CCB550/90 can be a potential adsorbent due to possessing the highest surface area (127.295 m2.g-1), total pore volume (0.080 cm3.g-1) and the heterogeneous structure. The preliminary experiment result also showed that CCB550/90 had the highest phosphate adsorption capacity with 9.799 mg.g-1 in the stock solution, and removed up to 98% of phosphate. The new research results could be used to further biochar studies or even apply to the large-scale production of adsorbents.

Authors: Tran Huu-Bang
Published: January 2022

This work aims to study the effects of Nano SiO2 (NS) and Silica fume (SF) on the technical parameters of cement concrete. On specimens with varying NS and/or SF concentrations, compressive strength, flexural strength, abrasion resistance, elastic modulus, and chloride ion penetration were tested. All specimens were subjected to the proposed method/technique cured at the ages of 3, 7, 28, and 60 days with a temperature of 25 ± 2°C and relative humidity of above 90%. NS particles were added to cement concrete at various replacements of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% by the mass of the binder. The water/binder ratio remained at 0.37 for all mixes. Then, for cement-concrete were prepared 45 MPa (C45) with NS and SF. The specimens confirmed the new method of effectiveness evaluation. The specimens were prepared under two different categories: (1) Portland cement replacement with NS of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%, by weight for adhesives; (2) Portland cement replacement with NS of 0.5%, 1.0% and each NS content in combination with SF of 5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively, by weight for adhesives. The values for abrasion resistance and Chloride Ion penetration are the smallest value. Finally, an analytical model for forecasting elastic modulus and flexural compressive strength of cement concrete was created using the collected data. In the future, it should help us better comprehend cement concrete utilizing SN and SF.

Authors: Yunarto Nanang , Sulistyowati Indah , Finolawati Allysa , Elya Berna , Sauriasari Rani
Published: January 2022

The article describes a new idea of plant-based hypercholesterolemia treatment. Statins are commonly used for hypercholesterolemia treatment. Due to the side effects of statins, natural HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors plant-based are needed. Based on the affordability and less toxicity, the plant has increasing acceptability for treating ailments. The 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is the key enzyme of the mevalonate pathway producing cholesterol. Inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase reduces cholesterol biosynthesis in a liver. As an Indonesian plant containing catechin, Uncaria gambir can reduce cholesterol in the blood through HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity. This study aims to investigate the potential antihypercholesterolemic of the extract and catechin isolate of Uncaria gambir. Gambier leaves were extracted in water. The catechin from gambier extract was isolated with ethyl acetate-hexane using column chromatography. Phytochemical analysis of extract and catechin isolate were conducted by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Antioxidant activity was tested using a 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay with vitamin C as a positive control. The inhibitory activity of HMG-CoA enzymes was carried out enzymatically using an HMG-CoA reductase assay kit by spectrophotometric and simvastatin as a standard. The results showed that the catechin in the extract was 68.32% while in isolate - 96.74%. The extract's scavenging activity (IC50) was 6.2 μg/mL, catechin isolate was 2.4 μg/mL, and vitamin C was 4.1 μg/mL. The in-vitro assessment of HMG-CoA reductase activity indicated 73.12%; 97.46%; 85.74% inhibition by the extract, catechin isolate, and simvastatin, respectively. Catechin isolate from Uncaria gambir showed strong HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity offers a high potential for hypercholesterolemia treatment.

Published: January 2022

Rocks are a collection of minerals that have frozen. Rocks can contain one or several minerals. Minerals are physically and chemically homogeneous crystalline substances in the earth crust. Minerals are formed at the same time as rocks. Minerals are a type of natural resource that must be studied. However, there have never been any mineral content studies done in the Tacipi Formation area, which has a great natural resource potential. Research conducted in Ulo, Lanca, and Lappae Villages (Tacipi Formation), Bone Regency, Indonesia, aimed to determine the mineral content of the rock, the crystal structure, and the distribution of rock minerals at three sampling points: point 1 (Ulo) with igneous rock samples from Bone Volcano, point 2 (Lanca) with sedimentary rock samples and point 3 (Lappae) with sedimentary rock samples from Bone Limestone tested with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The analysis of all samples using the High Score Plus software obtained mineral content: magnesian calcite, calcite, quartz, diopside, corundum, chalcopyrite, and wustite. The minerals that often appear are magnesian calcite and quartz, with a mineral crystal structure that is rhombohedral and hexagonal with varying sizes. Quartz is produced from interbedded rocks of the Bone volcanic rock with the limestone reefs of the Tacipi Formation. The research results, which have a novelty value, show that the mineral richness in this area is diversified. The research results can be used by the community, local government, and investors to develop the mining sector.

The concept of energy is one of the most abstract in physics. Indeed, many pieces of research have shown that learning the scientific concept of energy is very difficult and have pointed out the necessity of a progression throughout schooling, starting from preschool. In this work, we were interested in identifying representations by Moroccan learners of the 6th year of primary school related to the concept of energy. To do this, a written test was submitted to a sample of 228 learners. The written test results showed that the learners have erroneous representations related to the concept of energy, although they have already studied it in the lessons of scientific awakening. This prompted us to question the teaching practices of primary school teachers concerning the consideration and analysis of learners' representations when teaching the said concept. The questionnaire results sent to the teachers reveal that most of the teachers declare that they do not identify the learners' representations because of lack of time and consider that the analysis of the representations remains a difficult and sometimes complicated process. From the results of this research, teachers seem to be aware of the importance of taking learners' representations into account when constructing scientific concepts. However, they need supervision and training in order to accompany their learners in the process of evolving their representations towards representations that are closer to scientific explanations.

This study aimed to analyze the rays (Batoidea) in the Bali Strait, including the caught species, conservation status, and reproductive biology condition. The conservation status is critical to explore as a preventive step from extinction. There is limited data about the conservation status of rays, and it becomes crucial to explore the existence of rays, especially in the Bali Strait. High exploitation without concern on environmental sustainability will cause species to be threatened with extinction due to biological characters in rays, namely low fecundity, long sexual maturity, and slow growth. This research was conducted in December 2019 – March 2020 and found 354 fish. There were 20 species from 15 genera that belong to 7 families. Conservation status is based on the IUCN: three species are CR, three species are EN, eight species are VU, four species are NT, and two species are DD. Meanwhile, six species of rays are included in Appendix II based on the CITES status. There are two species fully protected by the national government. The weight and width relationship of Neotrygon orientalis was negatively allometric, while Taeniura lymma and Mobula thurstoni were positively allometric. The sex ratio of N. orientalis was dominated by male fish, while T. lymma and M. thurstoni were dominant by female fish. Clasper maturity level of N. orientalis, T. lymma, and M. thurstoni was 55%; 56%; 47% and indicated those caught in mature condition. In conclusion, this study has implications on fish management resources to manage the population and conservation status of rays.

This research aims to understand the police education policy and its implementation in Indonesia at the ontological and sociological levels that are significant for improving the subsequent police education. The problem is very interesting to be analyzed by conducting qualitative research based on public policy theory. Managing police education policy and its implementation are needed for providing information to stakeholders related to the policy and regulations in police education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation related to police education cases in Indonesia. The data were analyzed using an interactive model supported by data reduction, display, verification, and triangulation. The results were based on ontological and sociological levels using public policy perspective to improve police education policy and its implementation practice. This result provides inputs for making better regulation on police education in Indonesia, for state agencies as public officials and practitioners to make better policy and regulation.
RETENTION OF CU(II) IONS BY AMORPHOUS AND APATITIC TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATES: AN UNDEMANDING ROUTE TO PRODUCE LIBETHENITE

Published: January 2022

The retention of copper ions by amorphous and apatitic tricalcium phosphates was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and induction-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The experimental results of this study show that the amorphous tricalcium phosphate exposed for 48 hours to a 2.10-2 M copper ion solution with the initial molar ratio Cu(solution)/Ca(phosphate) = 1 retains 96% of the initial amount of copper. It also completely converts to copper hydroxyphosphate, the mineral known as libethenite. The research revealed that apatitic tricalcium phosphate subjected to a similar treatment removed only 38% of the initial amount of copper and was only partially transformed into libethenite. In this case, it turned out that by extending the exposure time of the phosphate or by increasing the initial molar ratio Cu(solution)/Ca(phosphate), the conversion of the apatitic phosphate becomes complete and leads to a retention capacity of 595 mg/g. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of libethenite produced by the conversion of tricalcium phosphates confirms the chemical purity of this mineral. It reveals that the Cu2p core level exhibits a multiple structure that can be deconvoluted into five peaks at binding energies of 934.5 eV, 954.5 eV, 940.6 eV, 943.1, and 961.5 eV. The first two peaks were attributed to the Cu2p3/2 and Cu2p1/2 photoelectrons and are consistent with the divalent state of copper, while the other peaks, not all previously reported, were assigned to shake-up satellites arising from Cu+2 with d9 configuration in the ground state.

Published: January 2022

This paper develops a model of online customers' repurchase intention using data from customers who have purchased search or experienced goods online. This study investigates the effect of the diagnosticity of product descriptions on repurchase intention via product uncertainty and retailer visibility. A key contribution of this research is to analyze whether there are similarities or differences between search goods and experience goods on online customers’ repurchase intention. This study is based on the economics of information and product-related factors to explain repurchase intention. It uses survey research – 200 consumers who have online shopping experience for search or experience goods in the past six months participated in this study. The results of this study report the relationship among diagnosticity of the product description, product uncertainty, retailer visibility, and repurchase intention of online customers for all goods, search goods, and experience goods. The diagnosticity of product description negatively influences repurchase intention via product uncertainty. The diagnosticity of product description also positively influences repurchase intention via retailer visibility. However, there are no differences in the relationship among diagnosticity of the product description, product uncertainty, retailer visibility, and repurchase intention of online customers for search goods and experience goods.

This paper reports AlN barrier Al0.5Ga0.5N high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with heavily Si-doped degenerate GaN contacts prepared by pulsed sputtering deposition. Selectively regrown n-type GaN contacts exhibit typical degenerate properties with the electron concentration and mobility of 2.6 × 1020 cm−3 and 115 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively, resulting in a record low contact resistance R
C of 0.43 Ω mm for the AlN/Al0.5Ga0.5N HEMTs. The AlN/Al0.5Ga0.5N HEMTs displayed a remarkable DC output characteristic with a maximum drain current density of 250 mA mm−1, a transconductance of 32 mS mm−1, and an On/Off ratio >106. The present results show potential overcoming challenges in ohmic contact formation for high-power and high-frequency AlGaN electron devices with high Al composition.
