Authors: Дорфман П.Б. , Минасов М.Ш.
Published: July 2024

В силу своей экономической роли авиационная отрасль регулируется государством по-разному и выступает одним из драйверов инновационного развития. Однако этот же вопрос делает авиационную отрасль жертвой государственной политики. Россия и вся ее экономика, в частности, авиационная отрасль, столкнувшись с санкциями ведущих стран мира, стали ярким тому примером. Тем не менее, проведенная в статье оценка геополитического фактора позволяет сделать вывод о том, что эти факторы являются не только факторами риска, но и драйвером развития не только конкретного предприятия, но и экономики в целом.

Due to its economic role, the aviation industry is regulated by a state in different rates and serves as one of the innovative development drivers. However, the same issue makes the aviation industry a victim of the state politics. Encountering sanctions of the worlds leading countries, Russia and its entire economy and the aviation industry, in particular, have become a prime example. Nevertheless, the conducted geopolitical factor assessment allows us to conclude that these factors are not only risk factors, but a development driver not only for a specific enterprise, but the economy in whole.

В статье представлены результаты сравнительного исследования старения населения двух столиц: Москвы и Санкт-Петербурга. Показано, что несмотря на схожесть социально-экономического развития двух городов рост ожидаемой продолжительности жизни (ОПЖ) и темпы старения населения различаются: Москва стареет быстрее как за счет более быстрого снижения рождаемости, так и за счет раньше начавшегося роста ожидаемой продолжительности жизни в старших возрастах. Обсуждаются причины такого опережающего роста, от статистических ошибок до роли образования населения и роли миграции.

The article presents the results of comparative studies of the aging of the population of two Russian capitals : Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is shown that despite the similar socio-economic development of the two cities, the growth in life expectancy and the rate of population aging differ: Moscow is aging faster both due to a faster decrease in fertility and due to earlier growth in life expectancy at older ages. The reasons for this outstripping growth are discussed, from statistical errors to the role of population education and the impact of migration.

Проведен ретроспективный анализ особенностей проявлений саркоидоза и саркоидоподобной реакции у 409 пациентов за период 2018–2023 гг., из них у 25 (6,11%) пациентов саркоидоз и саркоидоподобная реакция сочетались со злокачественными новообразованиями. У онкологических пациентов саркоидоз и саркоидоподобная реакция развивались синхронно (у 68% пациентов) и в разные сроки после химиотерапии (у 32% пациентов). Морфологические проявления саркоидоза характеризовались гранулематозной стадией с минимальным фиброзом. Риск сосуществования рака и саркоидоза должен учитываться клиницистами, чтобы избежать неправильного прогноза и неадекватного лечения. Важно систематически обследовать онкологических пациентов как для обнаружения метастатического поражения, так и для выявления саркоидоза и саркоидоподобной реакции, которые могут имитировать прогрессирование опухоли и ее метастазирование. Видеоассистированная торакоскопия является наиболее эффективным инвазивным диагностическим методом, позволяющим отличить легочный саркоидоз от других злокачественных новообразований.

A retrospective analysis of the characteristics of the manifestations of sarcoidosis and sarcoid-like reaction was carried out in 409 patients for the period 2018–2023, of which in 25 (6.11%) patients sarcoidosis and sarcoid-like reaction were combined with malignant neoplasms. In cancer patients, sarcoidosis and a sarcoid-like reaction developed synchronously (in 68% of patients) and at different times after chemotherapy (in 32% of patients). The morphological manifestations of sarcoidosis were characterized by a granulomatous stage with minimal fibrosis. The risk of coexistence of cancer and sarcoidosis must be considered by clinicians to avoid incorrect prognosis and inadequate treatment. It is important to systematically evaluate patients with cancer both to detect metastatic disease and to identify sarcoidosis and sarcoid-like reactions, which may mimic tumor progression and metastasis. Videothoracoscopy is the most effective invasive diagnostic method for distinguishing pulmonary sarcoidosis from other malignancies.
Carbon - 12C ion radiation-induced cell death and molecular mechanisms in malignant cells: Evidence from in vivo and in vitro
Authors: Mandal Mriganka
Published: July 2024

Conventional radiotherapy has been revolutionized for several decades. Recently, the delivery of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation such as heavy carbon ion therapy has gained more attention. Among all low-energy therapies such as photon, X-ray, and gamma radiation therapy, 12C heavy carbon ion therapy is the best therapy for cancer treatment due to its high relative biological effectiveness (RBE). It has been studied that many tumors show resistance to chemotherapy and low energy transfer radiation. The unique nature of high LET shows unique Bragg peaks where very little radiation are applied on the tumor cells and better results can be achieved. It effectively kills the tumor cells without affecting the normal cells. There are some limitations to conventional radiotherapy. Radiotherapy with the low LET group may not work properly. Carbon ion radiation (CIR) induces malignant cell death in different modes, such as apoptosis, senescence, autophagy, immunogenic cell death and necrosis. Heavy carbon ion therapy enhances cell death by altering different molecular signalling pathways such as p53, AKT, MEK, caspase and STAT–3. Investigation of the major molecular cell death by carbon ion irradiation is very essential to understand the modalities of heavy carbon ion induced cell death. In this context, the investigation of different signaling cascades may open new horizons in cancer treatment. The therapeutic efficacy and application of heavy carbon ion beams along with some molecular inhibitors, radio sensitizers, and gene therapy would be helpful for future cancer treatment. Therefore, a more thorough investigation in this field is needed. The current review article highlights the recent advances in cancer therapy research based on Carbon 12C Ion radiation-induced cell death.

Published: July 2024

The study explores the legal consciousness of young people in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, concerning the management of personal relationships vis-à-vis the legal regulation enacted by the Italian government. We aim to account for the forms of legality that have granted to sustain, criticize, engage, and resist the law, and to understand the mechanisms that contributed to shaping specific experiences of legality. We refer to a theoretical framework based on legal consciousness, the Neo-Bourdieusian approach to moral judgment and Douglas’s theory of risks. Based on the analysis of 70 narratives, our findings show different ways of experiencing the law by young people. Different recurring narratives can be identified: individual translation, trust in procedure, fatalistic claims, and cooperative criticism. These narratives are not fixed attributes of individuals but recurring repertoires of perceptions and practices that emerge from specific interaction contexts where pre-reflective dispositions and conscious deliberation intersect.

Critical Discourse Analysis of Pre-enrolment English Program Curriculum Documents: Preparing Students for University Registers
Authors: Al Hamdany Hayder , Picard Michelle
Published: July 2024

Objectives: Critiques in academic literature and Australian media focus on the English proficiency of international students in Australia, particularly those with EAL (English as an additional language) studying in Australia, raising doubts about their preparedness for university-level English studies (Arkoudis, et al., 2019). These concerns extend to pre-enrolment English program. To address this, the study examines the curriculum handbook of Australian universities' English programs. It reveals that this curriculum not only offers course and program information but also serves as a model for EAL students aspiring to enroll in Western universities. The study extends the analysis using the Verclaff Framework for Action (1989, 1995).
Methods: Applying Fairclough’s framework, the study used a three-pronged critical discourse analysis of the English language program curriculum. This involved examining the text, interpreting the creation processes, and understanding the social and historical contexts influencing the text.
Results: interestingly, the description reveals a clear and comprehensive structure, providing detailed information not only about the curriculum but also about staff, facilities, and the wider university and city environment students will engage with. Moreover, it delineates assessment tasks, with some fully detailed presentations.
Conclusions: The curriculum document has become a comprehensive “book of rules” and a legal representation of the university. This study shows how the document prepares international students by teaching academic norms, complying with regulations, advertising courses, and providing curriculum information, while also addressing the socio-cultural aspects of their future studies at an Australian university.

Published: July 2024

Surface defects seriously affect the electronic properties of the optoelectronic devices. In this paper, the surface defect analysis of GaAs thin-film solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy is carried out by a photon emission microscope. Two types of oval defects at the locations of the luminous spots are observed. The morphology and chemical composition analysis indicates that GaAs dust contamination on the wafer surface and excessive As clusters are the origins of oval defects. The electrical property analysis shows that oval defects in the epitaxial layer should be one of the important reasons for the nonideal leakage current of the GaAs thin-film solar cell.

Re-evaluating the PCSK9 guidelines for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets: weighing the benefits against the risks
Authors: Gbaa Terry , Bolodeoku John
Published: July 2024

Cardiovascular disease management has made significant progress with lipid-lowering interventions, primarily statin therapy. However, statins' side effects, combined with their variable efficacy, have sparked interest in alternative treatments, particularly proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies. These biologics, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency, have shown a significant impact on lipid levels, particularly low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), resulting in a 50% to 60% reduction. Despite the benefits of PCSK9 inhibitors, the guidelines for their use differ, with specific thresholds determining eligibility. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends starting PCSK9 therapy for patients with LDL-C levels above 3.5 mmol/L and lipid levels above 5.0 mmol/L who do not have cardiovascular disease. This rigid framework, while cost-effective, may exclude a subset of patients who do not meet these criteria despite having a high cardiovascular risk. The limited scope of these guidelines presents a challenge for specialists managing patients excluded as a result of LDL-C levels that fall just below the threshold but still show signs of significant cardiovascular risk. Recent audits revealed that a significant proportion of patients fall into this grey area, emphasizing the importance of re-evaluating LDL targets for PCSK9 inhibitor initiation. Biological variations, pharmacogenomics, and other factors all contribute to this challenge, highlighting the importance of personalized medicine.

Background: Cardiovascular disease continues to be a leading cause of death among young people globally. This cross-sectional study was designed to assess the health behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors among young adults in Erbil, Iraq.Methods: Data were collected using the WHO STEPS Instrument for Chronic Disease Risk Factor Surveillance and the Heart Disease Fact Questions.Results: Ninety percent of participants demonstrated moderate to high knowledge and exhibited a positive attitude. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that while a history of smoking, a lack of knowledge, and the absence of formal education negatively impacted knowledge levels, being aged 38 to 45 years, recognizing the importance of consuming less salt, walking for at least 10 minutes on 5 or more days per week, and regularly checking blood sugar levels positively contributed to knowledge. Unwillingness to change lifestyle had the most significant negative influence on knowledge.Conclusions: Establishing effective educational interventions may increase knowledge and promote more positive attitudes.

Pengelolaan inventarisasi barang pada Ditjen Pengendalian Pemanfaatan Ruang Dan Penguasaan Tanah Kementerian Agrari Dan Tata Ruang / Badan Pertanahan Nasional dilakukan dengan cara pencatatan secara manual, seiring berjalannya waktu dan banyaknya mutasi barang yang terjadi mengakibatkan penumpukan arsip-arsip inventarisasi, sehingga mengalami kesulitan dalam pencarian keberadaan barang, produk, alat dan dokumen karena harus dicari secara manual pada tumpukan arsip satu per satu, arsip lama yang masih menggunakan media kertas kemungkinan rentan rusak sehingga dimungkinkan data mutasi barang banyak yang hilang, hal ini akan mengakibatkan barang-barang lama tidak terdeteksi keberadaannya. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut diperlukan adanya aplikasi mutasi barang dimana aplikasi ini akan menyertakan barcode yang akan ditempelkan pada semua barang dan pada saat terjadi mutasi, barcode akan di scan dan datanya tersimpan di dalam database. Aplikasi ini akan dibuat dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak VB 6 dan database MySql. Diharapkan dengan menggunakan aplikasi ini akan mempermudah dalam pelacakan barang, produk, alat, dan dokumen, sehingga keberadaan suatu barang mudah untuk diketahui. Penggunaan aplikasi ini juga diharapkan dapat meminimalisir penggunaan kertas, dan pengarsipan dokumen tidak diperlukan lagi.

Published: July 2024

Los tumores de células granulares corresponden a un grupo de neoplasias que se originan en las células de Schwann de las fibras nerviosas periféricas. Suelen presentarse entre la tercera y la quinta década de la vida. Estas neoplasias pueden crecer en cualquier parte del cuerpo, siendo la cabeza y el cuello los sitios más frecuentes. La presencia de este tumor en la pared abdominal es extremadamente raro, por lo que es importante establecer un diagnóstico diferencial y con la aplicación de técnicas de inmunohistoquímica (IHQ) como el CD68 y el S100 se puede llegar a confirmar su diagnóstico. Su tratamiento de elección es la escisión quirúrgica completa. En el presente trabajo se analiza el caso de un paciente masculino de 66 años de edad con diagnóstico inicial de sarcoma de la pared abdominal, que requirió resección radical y, a través de la IHQ, se llegó al diagnóstico de tumor de células granulosas de aspecto maligno.

La enfermedad del Parkinson (EP) presenta cifras de diagnóstico en aumento. En Ecuador, hay poca información disponible sobre su prevalencia, con un estudio en Manabí indicando 243 personas por cada 100,000 habitantes. La EP se caracteriza por temblores en reposo, disartria, bradicinesia, etc. Los tratamientos incluyen Levo-dopa, carbidopa, agonistas dopaminérgicos, y cirugías como la estimulación cerebral profunda. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de artículos sobre evolución del tratamiento quirúrgico parkisnoniano entre 1994 y 2024, con criterios específicos de inclusión y exclusión. Desde textos aryuvédicos hasta la L-Dopa, la terapéutica ha avanzado considerablemente. Las cirugías ablativas, como talamotomías y palidotomías, muestran eficacia variable, mientras que la estimulación cerebral profunda presenta evidencia fuerte de efectividad, mejorando síntomas motores y calidad de vida del paciente. Los avances quirúrgicos han mejorado significativamente el tratamiento del Parkinson, destacando la estimulación cerebral profunda como el método más eficaz y seguro.
