Published: September 2019

Objective: In this article aims to investigate the radio-protective effect of hesperidin on the liver of Sprague Dawely rats.Material and Methods: 40 male Sprague Dawely rats were selected randomly and divided into 8 groups. Group 1 did not receive radiation and hesperidin (sham control). Group 2 received only 100 mg/kg body weight (b.w) of hesperidin for 7 consecutive days (HES group); group 3 exposed to dose of 2Gy whole-body gamma radiation (2Gy group), and group 4 and 5 received 50 and 100 mg/kg b.w of HES for 7 consecutive days before 2 Gy gamma radiation, respectively.Group 6 exposed to dose of 8Gy gamma radiation (8Gy group); group 7 and 8 received 50 and 100 mg/kg b.w of HES for 7 days before 8Gy gamma irradiation, respectively. Histopathological evaluation was perfomred 24 hours after radiation.Results: Administration of hesperidin (50 mg/kg b.w, 7 days) before 2Gy of gamma irradiation led to remove inflammatory mononuclear cells in the portal space, but there was still dilation of central veins while hesperidin at a dose of 100 mg/kg before 2Gy gamma radiation was observed with normal liver structure. Microscopic findings in the groups receiving two doses of hesperidin (50 and 100 mg/kg b.w, orally, 7 days), before 8Gy of gamma radiation, were similar in a way that extreme dilation of central veins to be seen, however, there was no capillarization.Conclusion: HES can be offered as a suitable radio-protector in radiotherapy patients and radiation workers.

Published: September 2019

Several in vitro studies have described the erythrocyte toxicity mechanism response to the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and its metabolites, strongly related to oxidative stress. Compounds such as ascorbic acid and flavonoids, present in various fructiferous plants like Physalis angulata L.- Solanaceae, are exogenous sources of antioxidants, which have aroused interest because of its beneficial biological effects to health by capturing oxygen reactive species. Here, was investigated the cytotoxic effects of the 2,4-D in human erythrocytes exposed to this herbicide and treated with the juice of P. angulata fruits. Analyzing the oxidant and antioxidant mechanisms in these cells in vitro, was demonstrated that the damage mechanism by the Physalis juice occurred at the level of cellular proteins and membranes, altering levels of endogenous antioxidants components such as reduced glutathione and uric acid, and exogenous like vitamin C. Our results indicate new insights into the mechanism of human erythrocytes response exposed to the P. angulata juice, providing wayforward to future studies of cytotoxicity.

Specialty of vertical water exchange of the Caspian sea on the basis of distribution of transient tracers
Authors: Brezgunov V. S.
Published: September 2019

The analysis of the reliability of different scenarios for the formation of the vertical structure of the waters of the Caspian Sea, obtained from the distribution of transient tracers (CFC-11, CFC-12, 3H and 3He) at the deep-water stations of the Middle and Southern Caspian within the framework of international integrated isotope-geochemical studies during the maximum sea level rise in 1995–1996. Taking into account the available hydrometeorological data and the characteristics of water dating using transient tracers, it was concluded that after large-scale gravitational convection in the Middle Caspian caused by anomalous cooling of surface waters in the Northern Caspian at the end of the winter of 1976, a structure of water masses was formed that excluded deep water ventilation in the Middle and South Caspian Sea until the mid-90s.
Accumulation capacity of soluble rocks as the main stability index in covered karst areas
Authors: Anikeev A. V.
Published: September 2019

For an engineering geologist, covered karst areas are of special interest, not only because these are the most widespread on the Earth. More important, unlike the areas of bare karst, these areas are more favorable and suitable for economic development and human life as a whole. And the study shows that the greater is the thickness of the cover series, the more true is this statement.

The local forecast of sinkholes appears to be the most important and difficult engineering geological problem in these areas. It is especially acute there, where collapses and subsidence are absent, not registered, or poorly expressed in the relief, that is, in the areas of unrealized (potential, expected) sinkhole hazard. One of the possible approaches to solving this problem is discussed in the paper. It is based on comparing the volume of incoherent and fractured rock removed from the cover deposits with the accumulation capacity of the karst massif, i.e., the volume of hollow space in the karstic massif capable of receiving and accumulating clastic material.

The most common result of soils outflow in fissure-karst reservoirs is their loosening in the deformed-destructed area of the overburden. For the three canonical schemes of this area structure, the critical values of clastic matter volume were obtained from the equation for soil mass balance before and after loosening, the further removal of which will lead to the failure of the earth's surface. Some techniques and methods for assessing the accumulation capacity of soluble rocks are considered and serious differences in the use of the discussed approach in predicting the stability of karstified and undermined territories are revealed. In particular, it is shown that in karst areas, when performing calculations, one should be guided by the maximum values of the coefficient of primary loosening of soils. Otherwise, the predicted stability of the overburden will prove to be unjustifiably underestimated. The results obtained and the procedure for assessing the stability of covered karst terrains by the proposed method are exemplified by the construction site of the main buildings of the Nizhny Novgorod NPP (3.25 km2), where there are no collapse and subsidence sinkholes. However, the entire construction site (20 km2) is located in the area of active sulphate-carbonate karst. From the engineering-geological point of view, this is the main feature of the facility design.
Physico-chemical nature of clayey soils strength
Authors: Karpenko F. S.
Published: September 2019

The principles of soil mechanics based on Mohr–Coulomb strength theory and Terzaghi effective stresses theory give us the idea about the nature of clay strength. However, these theories consider the clay as a solid body and do not take into account their internal structure. In the present paper, the problems in determining the strength of clayey soils are considered from the standpoint of the physicochemical theory of effective stresses. This theory is based on the ideas of the internal structure of clays. The main idea implies that the structure of clays depends on the contacts formed between mineral particles, where the external stresses transmitted to the soil are concentrating. Water in clayey soils not only fills the pore space but also interacts with the mineral particles forming hydrate films around them. The prevailing type of structural contacts in clays determines the properties of latter. Strength is an intrinsic property of soil determined by its composition and internal structure, independent of the conditions of load application to it and characterized by the actual effective strength value. The value of actual effective strength in clays is determined by the total strength of individual contacts. This is the maximal stress transferred to the soil contacts, the structure being ruined upon exceeding this value. The actual effective strength in soils with the same predominant type of contacts depends on the number of contacts. The numerical strength characteristics of contact types are determined for different clay soil varieties to characterize the actual effective strength. The parameters of relationship between the actual effective strength in clays and their strength characteristics are obtained from the soil testing by standard methods.

EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PROFITABILITY OF NONFINANCIAL PERFOMANCE IN THE INDONESIAN SHIPPING COMPANY
Authors: Supardi Supardi
Published: September 2019

Abstract: One problem often encountered by management in the shipping industry companies in Indonesia are financial problems, because it collided with the availability of working capital which the company cannot be operated because the funds will be used for the purchase of raw materials and to give employees salary.This research analyzes the influence of financial condition consisting of working capital, asset structure, operating leverage, and sales growth on the firm profitability as well as on its non financial performance of ship building companies in Indonesia. By employing the multiple regression, the result of the estimation showed that among those variables underlined, working capital, asset structure, and sales growth proved to be significantly affecting the firm profitability and its nonfinancial performance, meanwhile the operating leverage has been proved non-significant. This research concludes that the management should pay more attention on working capital and the asset structure being the predominant variable, besides its asset structure and the sales growth, affecting the ship building companies performance in Indonesia. Shipping companies can grow and expand. To be able to increase profitability by increasing the shipping company's own capital and reducing a portion of the shipping company, the more active equity and profitability will also be good. On the other hand if it continues to rely on capital from outside, it will cause emergence of interest expense to be borne by the shipping company. Keyword: Working Capital, Asset Structure, Operating Leverage, Sales Growth, Profitability, Non-Financial Performance.

The samples are 124studentsoutof248from  class  X  and  XI  students Satya  Dharma  High  School  Balung  Jember.  Data obtained  from questionnaires  and  documentation  were  analyzed  by  multiple  regression techniques. The results show that the teacher's teaching style and student learning motivation contribute  more  to  student  achievement.  However,  learning  motivation  has  more  dominant influence on student learning achievement than the teacher's teaching style. But this research only  discusses  concepts  and  conclusions  taken  from  the  relevant  researcher  hypothesis before.
The Role of Simulation Educational Technologies in Teaching Doctors
Authors: Potapov М. Р.
Published: September 2019

In modern conditions, doctor as a specialist is faced with a large list of requirements fixed both in legal norms and in the rules of social behavior. The emergence of complex medical equipment and technologies, changes in the moral and legal conditions in the “doctor–patient” relationships led to the modernization of the medical training system. Especially it concerns the segment of practical specialist training. Simulation technologies in this sense should occupy an important place in medical education improving the quality and effectiveness of practice-oriented specialist training, reducing the risk of negative effects of the former education system in medical universities. The first experience of introducing such technologies into the training system at Yaroslavl State Medical University and in the country as a whole, along with obvious positive results, highlighted some problems. Their systematic solution is an important forward-looking task in the framework of the ongoing reform of medical education.

Authors: Zhbannikov P. S. , Gorokhov V. I.
Published: September 2019

The article addresses the issues of transition of additional professional education to a qualitatively new system – continuous medical education, which requires updating the structure of the organization of the educational process, as well as the content of additional professional programs. In 2016–2019 more than 300 completely new development programs have been worked out, reviewed and approved on the educational portal of the Ministry of Public Health of the Russian Federation. In 2016 Yaroslavl State Medical University has joined the project “Creation of model lean clinics” for promoting the principles of lean-management in healthcare. The main emphasis in the additional professional programs aimed at training medical specialists in the sphere of lean management is made on using simulation technologies. As a result, the University has developed an educational project based on simulation technologies “Process Factory PoLeanClinic” entailing the total immersion of participants in typical process with the aim to reveal, minimize, and forecast the losses and to raise the efficiency of medical organization. Since 2017 the University implements the concept of continuous professional education of teachers. This concept includes three basic elements: 1) continuing education in research and pedagogical activities; 2) continuing medical (pharmaceutical) education; 3) self-education. The elaborated learning modules for teachers’ continuous education are based on the actual needs for acquisition or development of professional competences.

Published: September 2019

Fundamental changes in the system of training highly qualified personnel in postgraduate studies have actualized the problems of the targets for the functioning of postgraduate studies. The article analyzes the barriers that arise at the stages of training in postgraduate school and preparing for thesis defense. The empirical basis of the work was a survey of the target audience, which resulted in the formation and testing of a questionnaire to assess the impact of barriers on the outcome of postgraduate training and the completion of postgraduate study. The target sample contains three groups: postgraduate students, holders of Candidates of Science degree and Doctors of Science (scientific supervisors) representing higher education and scientific institutions of the Russian Federation. The sample object was 133 people. The results of the experiment were analyzed using statistical graphs method. To identify key barriers to complete postgraduate studies, the construction of the Pareto diagram was used. As a result, we have identified 20% of the most significant barriers impeding postgraduate training and significant barriers to completing the dissertation research. In order to visualize the structure of the barriers, a causal diagram of K. Ishikawa was used. Primary level factors responsible for the result have been identified including a postgraduate student, scientific supervisor, institution and the state. Further, factors of the secondary level in obtaining a positive result of postgraduate training are analyzed. The paper considers the possibility of carrying out some measures to reduce the barriers to successful completion of postgraduate training and Candidate thesis defense. It is noted that such factors as work-study scheme and family life barriers depend on postgraduate student. Higher education institution is also responsible for a number of significant barriers in postgraduate training, in particular the absence of a research reserve. A very powerful, but, unfortunately, rather rare tool for creating a research reserve for postgraduate studies is its integration with the magistracy. We can refer to a British experience of combining master’s and doctoral studies by way of example. The article also analyzes the organizational barriers during the periods of thesis preparation and submission as well as barriers relating to supervisor’s responsibility. The authors dwell on the problem of low motivation for getting the Candidate of Science degree. It is a common situation in Russia when a Candidate of Science degree holder cannot benefit from the degree obtained. It is necessary to envisage the expansion of positions and professions, where surcharges will be applied for the existing degrees, as well as more comfortable conditions for career growth.

Published: September 2019

Background /Aims : We aimed
in our study to determine serum amphiregulin level, which is an indicator of a
malignancy, and to foresee pancreatic carcinoma in chronic pancreatitis.Materials
and Methods: 42 patients who applied to Department of Gastroenterology  and were diagnosed with chronic
pancreatitis  and 43 healthy patients as
the control group were enrolled in the study. Serum amphiregulin levels were
studied with an Amphiregulin Human ELISA Kit ab99975 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) by
ELISA(Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method. Results:
Patients with chronic pancreatitis compared to healthy control group (p : 0.007)
and the group complicated with pseudocyst among chronic pancreatitis patient
group, serum amphiregulin level (p : 0.006) and Ca 19-9 (p : 0.03) level are
high. We also found that the relationship between the long diameter of the
pseudocyst and serum amphiregulin level is statistically significant (p : 0.01)
in the complicated chronic pancreatitis group.

Conclusion:
Patients with chronic pancreatitis and the group complicated with pseudocyst
among chronic pancreatitis patient group must be monitored more closely in
terms of pancreatic cancer since serum amphiregulin level and Ca 19-9 level are
high and the relationship between the long diameter of the pseudocyst and serum
amphiregulin level is statistically significant in such patient groups.

Preparation of Quality Data for Air Pollution Forecasting
Authors: Lathasree Y. , Mamatha G.
Published: September 2019

This paper proposes a preparation of quality data for training accurate machine learning model. Data preparation is very important in machine learning. Here we are preparing the data for air pollu­tion forecast. As Air pollution forecasting has tradi­tionally been done by physical models of the atmos­phere, which are unstable and in accurate for large pe­riods of time. Since machine learning techniques are more robust to perturbations, in this paper we explore the data preparation and applications of machine learning to air pollution forecasting to potentially gen­erate more accurate predictions. A Linear Regression model is used to train the data a more accurately and predict the air pollution.
