Authors: Ahmed AL Qadasi, Shahbaa , Sabieh Al Zubaidi Azhar
Published: June 2024

Background: Squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung is a kind of non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Cytotoxic chemotherapy has been found to deliver benefits to patients in advanced disease settings.
Objective: To compare response rate and side effects between first-line chemotherapies vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and taxanes in patients with metastatic SCC of the lung.
Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study including 45 patients with metastatic lung SCC. All patients had received platinum-based doublet chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles. Patients were allocated into three groups based on the additional treatment protocol, with fifteen patients per group. A reduction in tumor size was assessed from tumor measurements for patients who had at least two evaluable assessments with computed tomography. The side effects of each drug were evaluated.
Results: The reduction in tumor size in the gemcitabine, taxan, and vinorelbine arms was -5.59±35.62 cm3, 1.3±39.98 cm3 and -10.55±14.62 cm3, respectively, with no significant differences. The response rates in the taxan, gemcitabine, and vinorelbine arms were 73.33%, 80%, and 86.67%, respectively, with no significant differences. The side effects, including nausea, alopecia, diarrhea, arthralgia, and peripheral neuropathy, were, in particular, more common in patients in the taxan arm than in other arms, with significant differences.
Conclusion: The three therapeutic arms, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and taxanes, had similar efficiency based on response rate, with a mild preponderance of vinorelbine.

Authors: Hanash Dhefer Iqbal
Published: June 2024

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AFi) is more common as people get older. Additionally, a further indicator of the occurrence of AFi  is subclinical hyperthyroidism, which is linked to a 3-fold increased risk. Lack of vitamin D causes the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway to become active, which has an impact on the cardiovascular system.
Objective: To examine the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 insufficiency and AFi and hyperthyroidism cases with valvular and nonvalvular AFi that required treatment at our medical center.
Patients and Methods: Samples taken from 200 cases of AFi (50-65 years old) divided into: group A cases  with nonvalvular AFi and group B cases with valve AFi, and 100 healthy individuals with sinus rhythm who were age-matched chosen as control groups. Standard biochemical measurements, including levels of 25-OHvit.D3,the hormone of the thyroid gland, and parathyroid hormone, were made.
Results: Cases in group A had decreased 25-OHvit.D3 levels compare to those in the control and B groups (P ≤ 0.05 ).In comparison to the control group, the patients in groups A and B had larger left atriums and greater systolic pulmonary artery pressures.
Conclusion: Thus, the study shows a connection between nonvalvular AFi cases with hyperthyroidism and 25-OHvit D3 deficiency.

Reviving the he(art) of the city
Authors:   , Polozova Taisiia
Published: June 2024

In most Metropolitan cities around the world, creative art centres are built to enhance a sense of cultural identity in citizens and engage them in creative processes, which would encourage community bonding and the development of creative skills. However, New Zealand urban centers often lack such facilities that are open to the general public. Contemporary civic architecture also often fails to provide spatial experiences that are meaningful and inspiring. This project aimed to reintroduce meaningful and inspiring spatial experiences that encourage creative education in contemporary civic architecture.

This thesis question is: How can architecture of a creative art centre be designed to encourage a creative learning development and increase a sense of social cohesion of the occupants?

The thesis was broken into four parts, each addressing the research Aims and the following objectives. The first and second design stage investigated various drawing methods for the development of an architectural outcome that embodied creativity. This was explored through the iterative hand-drawing methods which tested approaches of Kazimir Malevich, Zaha Hadid and Bernard Tschumi. The goal was to use these drawing approaches for site research and analysis. Deeper contextual and programmatic understandings were researched and analysed to reconfigure the site drawings in the conceptual architectural outcome that would reflect the site’s unique identity. In the third stage, the focus shifted towards designing public spaces that would benefit the Art Centre community. This stage involved a narrative design approach to translate contextual concepts into architecture that prioritizes community-friendly experiences. The narrative approach was based on the theories of Penelope Haralambidou and Cathy Ganoe. The final design stage involved exploring phenomenological concepts to create spatial experiences that would inspire public engagement in creative learning processes. This involved reflection on a number of theories, including those by Özçam, Pallasmaa, Louv, Kolb, and others.

Objective: To analyze the positive significance of employing hysteroscopy and B-ultrasound together in diagnosing uterine incision diverticulum after cesarean section. Methods: The study was conducted at the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from February 2023 to February 2024. A total of 100 patients, all with a history of secondary cesarean section, were selected as research subjects for this experimental study. The selected patients were divided into two groups: the experimental group, who received a diagnosis through hysteroscopy combined with B-ultrasound diagnosis, and the control group, who underwent vaginal ultrasound diagnosis. Each group comprised 50 patients. The detection of uterine incision diverticula using the two methods was analyzed. Results: The combined diagnostic method of hysteroscopy and B-ultrasound in the experimental group revealed higher length, width, and depth measurements of uterine incision diverticulum defects post-cesarean section compared to the diagnostic method of the control group (P < 0.05), indicating a better diagnostic effect. Conclusion: Upon observing the recovery of patients after cesarean section, the diagnostic method involving hysteroscopy combined with B-ultrasound yielded superior results. This method enhances diagnostic accuracy and enables the identification of patients’ incisional diverticulum, facilitating proactive intervention. Its significance is noteworthy and merits promotion.

Authors: Yang Nan
Published: June 2024

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of warm acupuncture and moxibustion with traditional Chinese herbs in treating cold-damp stagnation dysmenorrhea. Methods: 76 patients with cold-damp stagnation dysmenorrhea admitted to our hospital were selected as the sample for study and evaluation, and the time of admission to the hospital was from January–December 2023. The patients were divided into an observation group (n = 38) and a control group (n = 38) using a random number table. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional Western analgesic drugs. In contrast, the patients in the observation group were treated with warm acupuncture and moxibustion together with traditional Chinese herbs. The clinical effective rate, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, NRS score, serum factor level, and the incidence rate of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results: The clinical efficacy of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the TCM symptom score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the PGF2a and NRS scores of the observation group were lower than that of the control group, while the PGE2 was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the incidence rate of adverse reactions of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese herbs are effective in treating patients with cold-damp stagnation dysmenorrhea. This treatment regime alleviates clinical symptoms, reduces the degree of pain, improves the level of serum factor, and reduces the incidence of adverse reactions.

Authors: Ceran Burak , Çakir Ufuk , Tuğcu Ali Ulaş , Tayman Cüneyt
Published: June 2024

Objective: It is thought that twin neonates born from pregnancies resulting from assisted reproductive technology (ART) are clinically riskier than twin neonates born from spontaneous pregnancy. However, information on the risks in premature infants born as a result of ART pregnancies is limited. In our study, premature twin infants born from ART and spontaneous pregnancies were compared to clinical outcomes. Method: All premature twin infants hospitalized in our unit between September 2017 and September 2019 and born under 32 weeks of gestation were included in our study. Demographic and clinical results of premature twins born as a result of spontaneous and ART pregnancies were compared. Results: A total of 142 premature twins, 116 (81.6%) in the spontaneous twin group and 26 (18.4%) in the ART twin group, were included in the study. Demographic and clinical features were similar between ART and spontaneous twin groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our study determined that premature infants born due to ART pregnancies did not have any additional risk compared to spontaneous infants. This result shows that the main determinants of clinical outcomes in premature infants are gestational week and birth weight.

Objective: To study the effect of the direct anti-human globulin test on the clinical efficacy of blood transfusion patients. Methods: 52 transfused patients were selected for this study, of which 26 cases with positive direct anti-human globulin tests were included in the positive group, and another 26 cases with negative direct anti-human globulin tests were included in the negative group. The apparent efficacy of the patients in the two groups after blood transfusion was compared. Results: After blood transfusion, the apparent efficacy of the negative group was significantly higher, P < 0.05; in the positive group, the proportion of the predominantly multi-antibody group was the highest; after blood transfusion, the post-transfusion apparent efficacy of the simple IgG group was higher than that of the multi-antibody group, P < 0.05; comparing the intensity of the different antibodies resulted in the 1+ group, and the 3+ to 4+ groups were significantly lower after blood transfusion, P < 0.05. Conclusion: The use of the direct antiglobulin test in transfused patients showed that patients with positive results would have better clinical efficacy. Direct anti-human globulin tests will have an impact on the clinical efficacy of blood transfusion in patients with positive results, so it is very important to carry out a direct anti-human globulin test on blood transfusion patients.

Authors: Pichinini Yasmin Rissato , Couto Ana Cristina Lima
Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar o perfil da pobreza no Brasil e nas suas macrorregiões, com base nos microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) Contínua de 2012 e 2020. A abordagem monetária e a linha de pobreza para definir os pobres foi de até meio salário-mínimo de renda domiciliar per capita. As variáveis analisadas foram gênero, cor, idade, posição na família, escolaridade, região geográfica em que se vive, além dos indicadores relativos ao mercado de trabalho. Dentre os principais resultados, observou-se que mulheres, negros, os mais jovens, os menos escolarizados, os moradores da zona rural e das regiões menos desenvolvidas (Norte e Nordeste) e trabalhadores informais estão mais presentes na pobreza. Assim, as políticas para sua redução devem focar em ações direcionadas para os grupos mais vulneráveis, além de promover melhorias na educação e criação de oportunidades de emprego e geração de renda, especialmente nas regiões Norte e Nordeste.

Authors: Rodrigues Fábio Lúcio , Galdino Santhiago Cristiano de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

Este trabalho analisou a evolução do hiato salarial entre trabalhadores dos setores público e privado no Brasil de 2015 a 2021, utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua e aplicou modelos econométricos de Equações Mincerianas e Decomposição de Oaxaca-Blinder. Os resultados indicaram um prêmio salarial crescente para o setor público, com um aumento significativo durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Fatores como experiência, nível educacional e localização geográfica influenciaram positivamente os salários, enquanto características como pertencer a uma raça não branca ou ser casado impactaram negativamente. A decomposição de Oaxaca-Blinder revelou que, nos anos pré-pandemia, o gap salarial entre os setores variou entre 50% e 52% e intensificou-se em 2020, quando o salário médio do setor privado passou a corresponder a apenas 46% do salário/hora médio do setor público. Este hiato foi parcialmente explicado pelos atributos produtivos dos trabalhadores, que representaram cerca de 49% da diferença nos últimos dois anos da série, em comparação com 46% a 47% nos anos anteriores.

Authors: Rimal Dipak Prasad , Dahal Rajesh Prasad , Kafle Samit , K. C. Sandeep
Published: June 2024

In Nepal's Ramechhap district, a study was undertaken to assess the influence of environmental laws on forest resource management, involving surveys and interviews with 67 households. The research aimed to understand perceptions of environmental laws, current practices, and their impact on livelihood sustainability. Past studies often overlooked legal and regulatory aspects, prompting a call for greater attention to these dimensions. Utilizing SPSS version 26 and MS-Excel 2016, the analysis revealed significant associations between people's perceptions of environmental laws and various socio-economic factors. Specifically, age (Pearson χ²=15.398, df=6, p=0.017), education (Pearson χ²=26.347, df=10, p=0.003), occupation (Pearson χ²=31.98, df=8, p=0.00), ethnicity (Pearson χ²=12.686, df=4, p=0.013), and economic status based on land ownership (Pearson χ²=9.597, df=2, p=0.008) all showed significant associations at p-value < 0.05. However, gender (Pearson χ²=2.021, df=2, p>0.05) and economic status based on food sufficiency (Pearson χ²=10.96, df=4, p>0.05) did not demonstrate significant attitudes towards the impact of environmental laws. The study highlighted weaknesses in enforcing environmental laws, emphasizing the necessity for robust institutional frameworks and progressive policies at all government levels. It stressed the importance of expanding similar research across diverse regions of Nepal to comprehensively understand the nationwide impact of environmental laws. Effective implementation of these laws is deemed crucial for sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, and socio-economic development.

Published: June 2024

The study, conducted from November 2019 to March 2020 at the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science in Rupandehi, Nepal, aimed to evaluate the effects of seed priming techniques on common buckwheat. The experiment comprised eleven treatments with three replications each. Germination parameters were analyzed in the laboratory using a complete block design, while growth and yield parameters were assessed in the field using a randomized complete block design. The results indicated significant improvements in all germination and yield parameters of buckwheat due to seed priming. Notably, the 48-hour hydropriming treatment exhibited the highest performance, yielding a germination percentage of 87.167%, a speed of germination of 66.62, a vigor index of 52.78, a grain yield of 1518.988 kgha-1, a test weight of 19.533 g, and a harvest index of 0.405. These findings suggest that priming seeds with water for 48 hours can effectively enhance the germination, growth, and yield attributes of common buckwheat.

The results of evaluation of the peculiarities of functioning of non-enzymatic systems of neutrophils of peripheral blood of guinea pigs before immunization and on the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, 42nd, 55th, 69th, 125th days after immunization with Brucella R-strain are presented. Two groups of agouti guinea pigs were formed for the study: control and experimental. The experimental animals were immunized with a suspension of Brucella abortus strain 16/4 at a dose of 1 billion CFU/ml subcutaneously; the control pigs were intact to brucellosis. The activity of antimicrobial systems was evaluated by determining the indices of cationic proteins by photometric method in spontaneous and induced variants. Experimental samples of brucellosis antigens were used as specific inducers in the reaction procedure. It was found that the use of Brucella disintegrans at a concentration of 50 μg/ml and corpuscular antigens at a concentration of 100 μg/ml by protein in the test with cationic proteins as inducers of disintegrants has a stimulating effect on the intensity of cationic protein production in the cell suspension of leukocytes. Stimulation indices were calculated at all observation periods as the ratio of the index of the stimulated sample to the index of the sample without antigen load. Two peaks of stimulating activity of cationic proteins were observed in the course of the study: the maximum rise of stimulation indices was observed on the 14th day after immunization and a less pronounced rise on the 28th day. The peak of agglutinating antibody production was on the 21st day after immunization, complement-binding antibodies – on the 21st-28th day, less intensive rise in titers of agglutinating and complement-binding antibodies was noted on the 69th day. In these terms, a decrease in the stimulated activity of neutrophil cationic proteins was observed. The peak activity of non-enzymatic cationic proteins of neutrophils was found to be ahead of the peak of humoral immune response.

Authors: Zamaletdinov R. , Nurmukham R.
Published: June 2024

The article describes the four-volume “Ethnocultural Dictionary of the Tatar Language”, which was compiled by a team of teachers from the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication of Kazan Federal University. This work records the vocabulary of the Tatar language, reflecting the people’s traditional culture, which accumulates information about the surrounding world, living conditions, everyday life, work organization, etc. Such studies are a reliable aid in studying the circumstances and factors of the national culture formation.

Ethnocultural dictionaries give a fragmentary idea of the Tatar people’s linguistic picture of the world. To determine the role and place of culturally marked vocabulary selected for the compilation of the dictionary entries, its authors analyzed the dictionaries of the 19th-21st centuries, studied the use of these words as part of phraseological units, proverbs and sayings, as well as their use in songs and works of art. This study of the culturally marked units adds new data to the history of the formation, development and improvement of Tatar material and spiritual culture. The proposed works can serve as a model for compiling ethnocultural dictionaries of other Turkic-speaking peoples; the material, collected in these lexicographic works, will find a worthy place in the dictionaries of concepts of Turkic languages.
Forgotten names: Kashshaf Patii
Authors: Yusupova N.
Published: June 2024

The article studies Kashshaf Patii’s work, identifying the development features of his poetry in the context of literary and aesthetic thought of the early twentieth century. As research shows, the educational paradigm contributes to the formation of a poetic concept of the world, the concept of a lyrical hero and motifs in his works. Tracing the main trends in the development of Kashshaf Patii’s poetry and the main periods of his work, we identify the features of the development of national literature of the early twentieth century as a whole and determine general and specific aspects in the patterns of the national literary art development. This determines the relevance of our work. It is for the first time that the work of Kashshaf Patii has become the object of a systematic study and literary analysis. It is the first study about the life and creative biography of the poet. As a result of the study, we conclude that Patii’s first works put forward the idea of developing Tatar society on the basis of education, knowledge and culture; their dominant motif is Tatar society’s call for social transformation. At the same time, romantic techniques predominate in the artistic and aesthetic aspects. This indicates that the poet’s work belongs to educational romanticism. At the second stage of his work, the author reflects on the mission of the poet and poetry in the context of classical romanticism - on the highest values in the world, while serving the nation is interpreted as divine predestination. The alienated lyrical hero, experiencing loneliness, comes to the fore in his philosophical lyrical poetry.

The article considers Longread as a tool for implementing the Edutainment technology in the theory and practice of teaching extensive reading in EFL classes. Taking into account the purpose and objectives of the study, we formulate the definitions of the terms Edutainment and Longread, typologize their components, provide their creation algorithms and offer methodological recommendations for conducting classes based on the Edutainment technology. The article describes a model of teaching reading with the help of Longreads. The research findings confirm that teaching to read Longreads fits into the concept of the Edutainment technology and aims at developing skills of working with large amounts of information. This approach may contribute to the formation of students’ linguistic and communicative competencies, as well as to the development of a sustainable motivation to learn a foreign language. We choose a theoretical analysis of scientific literature, a content analysis of pedagogical literature, questionnaires, experiment, mathematical data processing, analyses of personal empirical experience of teaching foreign languages as the leading methods of the research. The scientific and practical evidence, presented in this article, may inspire EFL teachers to adopt the model of teaching extensive reading with the help of Longreads for their students’ and their own benefit.

Features of representing emotions through color associations in a literary text (based on the novella “First Love” by Ivan Turgenev)
Authors: Wang Yulin
Published: June 2024

One of the most relevant trends that interests modern language science is the study of the way the inner world of humans is encoded in literary texts through various linguistic means. At the same time, the issues of specificity of using color designations as a means of conveying emotional information in Ivan Turgenev’s works remain incompletely studied.

This work comprehensively analyzes the features of verbalizing the emotive space through lexemes with the semantics of color in Ivan Turgenev’s novella “First Love”. The research methods include contextual, semantic, linguistic-statistical, descriptive and psycholinguistic analyses.

In the course of our research, we examined the occurrences of color lexemes along with their quantitative and frequency characteristics in Ivan Turgenev’s novella “First Love”. The article provides a classification of all identified words based on categorical-lexical themes and analyzes their specificity of associative emotive reinterpretation in the context.

Color is a key element of visually perceived objects and phenomena, playing a crucial role in humans’ understanding of the surrounding world. In the context of Ivan Turgenev’s literary works, color lexemes both reflect the color characteristics of the objects and enable the writer to better reflect his worldview and emotional-psychological state. They imbue the text with figurative meanings and lend it emotional and evaluative coloration.

Ev-tipi buzdolapları yaygın kullanılan beyaz eşyalar arasında yer alması ve sürekli çalışmaları sebebiyle yüksek miktarda enerji tüketiminden sorumludurlar. Ev-tipi buzdolabının performansını incelemek için laboratuvar ölçekli bir soğutma sistemi ortalama 4°C sıcaklıkta faz değiştiren malzemesiz (FDM’siz) ve çeşitli FDM’lerle test edilmiştir. FDM olarak ötektik su-tuz çözeltilerinden dipotasyum hidrojenfosfat (K2HPO4) ve sodyum tiyosülfat (Na2S2O3) çözeltileri farklı konsantrasyonlarda sisteme entegre edilmiştir. FDM’siz durumda %18,8 tespit edilen çalışma süresinin FDM olarak, uygun konsantrasyonlarda hazırlanan ötektik su-tuz çözeltileri ile azaldığı ortaya konulmuştur. FDM olarak ağırlıkça (ağ.) %2,0 K2HPO4 çözeltisi ile çalışma süresi (%) minimize edilmiştir. Çalışma süresi ağ. %2,0 K2HPO4 çözeltisi ile %11,1 olarak tespit edilmiştir. FDM’siz durumda sistemin 4 saatlik çalışma süresinde belirlenen toplam enerji tüketimi ağ. %2,0 K2HPO4 çözeltisi ile yaklaşık %46 oranında azaltılmıştır. Elektrik kesintisinin simüle edildiği durumda ise FDM’ler sisteme entegre edildiğinde kabin iç hava sıcaklığının ortam sıcaklığına (16℃) yükselme süresinin uzadığı ve maksimim olduğu durumda bu süresinin FDM’siz duruma göre yaklaşık 5 kat uzadığı belirlenmiştir. Tüm değerlendirmeler uygun FDM’nin ev-tipi buzdolaplarına entegrasyonun enerji tüketiminin azaltılmasında önemli rol oynacağı ortaya konulmuştur. Elektrik kesintisi periyodunda, kabin içindeki ürünlerin uzun süre bozunmadan muhafaza edilmesi FDM’lerin sistemlere entegrasyonunda sağlanacak diğer bir avantaj olacaktır.

Published: June 2024

The origin and genome composition of tetraploid cultivated Onobrychis viciifolia (2n = 4x = 28) were analyzed using dot-blot and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) techniques. Dot-blot hybridization was used to find a genomic affinity between O. viciifolia and 16 diploid Onobrychis species. The hypothesis on the origin of the O. viciifolia was tested using GISH. Dot-blot analyses suggested a genomic affinity between O. viciifolia and four diploid Onobrychis species (O. kachetica, O. supina, O. pallasii, and O. vaginalis). Hybridization signals were observed on O. viciifolia chromosomes when gDNA of O. kachetica, O. supina, O. pallasi, and O. hypargyrea were used as probes. However, the observed chromosomal distribution of hybridization signals did not resemble GISH results. The observed signals colocalized with 35S rDNA or dispearse signals on all chromosomes were observed depending on the probe. Further investigations using more comprehensive and comparative analysis with both coding and repetitive DNA regions may provide a better understanding of the genome composition and evolution of O. viciifolia.
