Published: April 2024

Background: Axillary lymph node involvement (ALNI) is associated with an increased risk of local recurrence and poor prognosis in early breast cancer. The determination of the risk of positive axillary lymph node contributes to therapeutic decisions.Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify clinicopathological predictive factors of axillary lymph node metastases in patients with early breast cancer.Methods: We included patients with clinical T0, T1 andT2 invasive breast carcinoma who underwent resection of the primary tumor and axillary staging by sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or axillar lymph node dissection between 2012 and 2018.Results: Of the 135patients included, 41.5% had ALNI. Regarding univariate analysis, clinical factors correlated with positive ALNM were clinical tumour size>30mm, clinical tumour stage, clinical number of tumours, clinical axillary nodal status and nodal status on ultrasound. Pathologic factors associated with nodal involvement were pathologic tumour stage, tumour grade SBR, number of foci, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion and Ki67>20%.In multivariate logistic regression, clinical axillary nodal status, pathologic tumour stage and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) remained as independent predictors of ALNI.Conclusions: Based on these results, we suggest that clinical axillary nodal status, pathologic tumour stage and LVI are predictive factors for ALNM in Tunisian women with early breast cancer.

Authors: Peantham Kasidij , Varabuntoonvit Viganda
Published: April 2024

The research conducted a life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) of single-use food packaging made from PP, PLA, and Paper/PLA materials using the ReCiPe method. The assessment covered 18 environmental impacts from box processing to end-of-life treatment, with a functional unit (FU) specified as 1,000 units of single-use food container boxes. The dimensions of the boxes were standardized to reflect the average size from the Thailand market and food-delivery boxes. When focused on production stage, PP box shows the greatest impact on overall especially human non-carcinogenic toxicity (285.11 kg 1, 4-DCB). However, when focused on cradle-to-grave life cycle, the PP emerged as the optimal choice of food box due to its comparable environmental impact to biodegradable alternatives, when applying recycling processes. It recycles significantly reduces the total impact up to 73% from their waste-to-energy treatment option. To achieve environmental goals necessitates policy interventions such as extended producer responsibility laws and refund schemes to incentivize responsible disposal. In country lacking waste management infrastructure and collection system, the sensitivity analysis of this research show that biodegradable PLA material emerges as the most suitable choice, particularly over Paper/PLA, offering lower overall environmental impact due to less overall emission in landfill and composting process.

Permasalahan minimnya pendidikan anti korupsi sejak usia dini menjadi permasalahan krusial, sebab pendidikan anti korupsi sebagai salah satu pilar jitu dalam memberantas bahaya korupsi sejak dini, mengingat korupsi adalah bahaya yang bisa merusak tujuan terbentuknya negara Indonesia yang sejak dahulu dicita-citakan oleh para pendiri bangsa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pendidikan anti korupsi harus memiliki makna belajar melalui pengalaman atau biasa disebut dengan expereintal learning, jadi bukan hanya mengkondisikan para siswa hanya untuk tahu, tetapi diberi kesempatan untuk mengambil keputusan dan pilihan untuk dirinya sendiri. Penanaman pendidikan anti korupsi sejak dini kepada anak di sekolah juga bertujuan agar anak memiliki jiwa anti korupsi. Jiwa anti korupsi inilah yang akan menjadi benteng bagi mereka untuk tidak melakukan perbuatan korupsi jika mereka sudah dewasa kelak. Hal ini sangat strategis mengingat anak yang sedari lahir memiliki fitrah bagaikan kertas putih, siap mengikuti coretan orang-orang dewasa di sekitarnya, terutama orang tua dan guru. Inti dari pendidikan antikorupsi sebagaimana tujuan dari pendidikan nasional adalah menanamkan karakter kepada generasi muda agar mau berlaku jujur, adil, disiplin, dan tanggung jawab.

Introduction: Studies have shown the worsening of migraine associated with the COVID-19 infection and the pandemic more broadly. COVID-19 vaccination has also been associated with symptomatic headache, with high frequency among migraineurs. We aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 diagnosis and vaccine administration on migraine, during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Methods: An online questionnaire was sent to migraine patients followed in a neurology outpatient clinic between March and November 2022. The survey inquired about migraine symptoms and treatment changes, as well as sleep changes, anxiety, and depressive symptoms during the pandemic, after a COVID-19 diagnosis and/or vaccination.

Results: Out of the 185 patients included, 108 (58.4%) reported a change in headache pattern (intensity, frequency, and/or pain quality) and 47% reported higher intensity and frequency. The pattern changes occurred before the COVID-19 diagnosis in 41%. Of all the participants with headache changes 72.2% needed to intensify medication (abortive or prophylaxis), regardless of infection status. High levels of insomnia, anxiety, and depressive symptoms were found among patients with worsening migraine, irrespective of COVID-19 diagnosis. After vaccination, 49 (27.1%) described a change in headache pattern, with a worsening pattern in 29 (16%). In half, this change occurred for up to 3 weeks.

Conclusion: Worsening of migraine was more likely associated with other factors related to the pandemic rather than COVID-19 diagnosis. COVID-19 vaccination might have acted as an additional but less relevant and temporary trigger for migraine worsening.
Curas y obreros contra la dictadura franquista
Authors: Hurtado Sánchez José
Published: April 2024

En Sevilla, la lucha contra la dictadura franquista tuvo, entre otros protagonistas, a los movimientos obreros de Acción Católica y a un grupo de curas comprometidos con la democracia y las libertades, que apenas han sido objetos de investigación. Estos cristianos jugaron un importante papel en los duros años de un Régimen que se autoproclamaba católico. La represión política y la incomprensión por parte de la jerarquía eclesiástica hicieron muy dura la militancia de estos cristianos a favor de las clases más desfavorecidas. Imbuidos de una ascética propia de aquellos tiempos, fueron la imagen de una Iglesia que vivía  contradictoriamente su unión con el poder y su deseo de adaptación a los nuevos tiempos conciliares. La entrega y dedicación, capacidad crítica, formación, entre otros valores, fueron vividos y transmitidos a las diversas fuerzas políticas y sindicales  clandestinas en las que estuvieron integrados.

Immunoinformatics Design of Multi-Epitope Peptide-Based Vaccine Against Cyprinid Herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3) Targeting Thymidine Kinase Proteins
Authors: Rahman Molla Mohammad Habibur
Published: April 2024

The common carp Cyprinus carpio is a freshwater teleost and is among the most economically significant fishes in aquaculture throughout the world. Taxonomically, C. carpio are a complex of species including subspecies Cyprinus carpio carpio. C. carpio are now threatened by Cyprinid Herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3), the causative agent of Koi Herpesvirus Disease (KHVD), which causes severe morbidity and mortality in ornamental koi and common carp and can infect or be transmitted by other species. Despite these devastating circumstances, effective vaccinations or other medications for the control of KHVD are not readily available. For this reason, the aim of the current study was to formulate a multi-epitope vaccine against Cyprinid Herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3) using an immunoinformatics approach. To assess the immunodominant T- and B-cell epitopes, the CyHV-3 proteomes were employed. Following a thorough evaluation, we constructed a strategy for vaccination employing four possible epitopes selected from among each of the three relevant epitope groups: cytotoxic T-lymphocyte, helper T-lymphocyte and linear B-lymphocyte. Important qualities used in the evaluation of the resultant vaccine are that it will be highly soluble, antigenic, immunogenic and non-allergenic. Among acceptable physicochemical qualities, the anticipated structure of the vaccine bears a close resemblance to that of the original protein. Additional considerations include a robust and sustained predicted binding between the vaccine and the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR9). Simulations of molecular dynamics confirm the likelihood of a strong binding stability and structural tightness. Moreover, the computer-generated immunological simulation revealed that the vaccine, when administered to fish, should induce immune responses comparable to those in real life. Finally, codon optimization based on Escherichia coli K12 produced favorable indications of GC content and acceptably high CAI value, as applicable to the cloning vector pET28+ (a). Overall, these results show that the proposed peptide vaccine is a promising option for CyHV-3 prophylaxis.

Published: April 2024

Restoring the country’s hotel sector after COVID-19 requires comprehensive efforts, including service quality that impacts customer satisfaction and loyalty. Undoubtedly, measures were taken timely to maintain and restore the quality level. Nevertheless, this is a challenge for the sector with its consequences. Additionally, the current situation and the complexity of the new global economic relations have increased that impact. The combination of these consequences has the most significant burden on the personnel and managers of the hospitality industry. After quarantine restrictions, consumers crave vivid emotions, traveling, high-quality services, and good-natured and competent attitudes toward them. The level of satisfaction largely depends on service quality provided from registration to departure. The post-COVID period is poorly studied, the recovery process is proceeding quite quickly, requires new approaches and effective solutions, especially in light of the satisfaction of the contemporary guests’ needs and the latter are changing. The problem of the study is to determine the level of consumers’ satisfaction with hotel services after the lifting of restrictions, and, as it is known a satisfied guest leaves more money in the tourism industry, which gives a positive impetus to the tourism development in the country, region, and district. The discussion included the following research methods: a literature review and a survey of consumers who traveled and lived in hotel enterprises among 181 respondents. Using the analysis results, practical recommendations were formulated for hotel managers and staff, which would ensure sustainability and valuable solutions for implementation. The scientific study offers an empirical contribution based on the consumers’ opinions regarding hospitality enterprises.

Published: April 2024

Once the key insights of corporate finance quality in Kazakhstani listed state SOEs are obtained, it is time to turn to separate strategies of corporate reporting manipulations. The purpose of this research is to look at accrual-based AEM strategies that adjust real activity REM practices at year-end. We follow Kasznik cash flow model for accrual-based earnings management as a best practice methodology and apply it to 572 unbalanced panel firm-year non-financial observations over 13-year time horizon. To strengthen our analysis, we compare main results with another popular measurement of accrual-based Earnings management based on the Shivakumar 1996 model. We also winsorised key investment indicators to reduce the impact of outliers on the main results. The results answer major questions: 1) what AEM strategies state SOEs prefer; 2) how accrual-based manipulations affect the choice of investment indicators; and 3) whether partially-privatized state SOEs under/over perform private POEs in Kazakhstan. In terms of theoretical and practical implications, our research findings could be useful to analysts of various strategies in the AEM/REM dimensions, academic scientists and advocates of partial privatization of state companies. We assure that theoretical gaps of corporate data manipulations in Central Asian context are to be reduced with increasing number of publications in the field of AEM practices.

Published: April 2024

This article presents a comprehensive methodological framework designed to explore the complex relationships among pension savings, economic growth, and bank deposits over the period spanning from 2014 to 2022. The objective of this study is to illuminate the intricate dynamics that influence household financial behavior and decisions. Through rigorous statistical analyses, the research seeks to uncover nuanced patterns and trends within these interactions. The confirmed findings of the study provide substantial support for Hypothesis 1. This underscores the significant impact of pension savings on the increase in bank deposits. This finding not only highlights the importance of understanding these dynamics within the context of contemporary financial landscapes but also carries implications for strategic financial planning. The recognition of the link between pension savings and the escalation of bank deposits suggests potential avenues for optimizing financial strategies and policies. Conversely, the rejection of Hypothesis 2 indicates that GDP (Gross Domestic Product) exerts an insignificant influence on the growth of bank deposits. This emphasizes the intricate and multifaceted nature of the current interplay between economic growth and individual banking preferences. The insights gained from this rejection contribute to a nuanced understanding of the factors shaping financial decisions, offering valuable perspectives for navigating the evolving financial terrain. In conclusion, the article contributes to a deeper understanding of the multifaceted factors that shape financial decisions. The identified relationships between pension savings, economic growth, and bank deposits provide valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and individuals alike, offering a foundation for informed decision-making in the ever-changing financial landscape.

Authors: Tayauova G. Zh. , Bektas C.
Published: April 2024

Higher education institutions (universities) make a significant contribution to the economy and social life of a country. For this reason, the interaction between universities, industry and society is important for countries. Universities need to get rid of the classical university concept and begin to take a role of entrepreneurial universities and transfer the acquired knowledge to industry and society. Thus, an entrepreneurial university can ensure the production of new information and technologies, as well as influence the use of acquired knowledge in production. The next generation of entrepreneurial universities not only need to develop their core competencies, but also have a domino effect on the creation and dissemination of new knowledge. This paper describes the interactions of relevant stakeholders necessary for the effective and efficient use of a country’s resources. These stakeholders are entrepreneurial universities as sources of scientific knowledge; production sector representing business; the government, which develops policies for universities and industry; non-governmental organizations and professional associations that support education and science. Integrating these five key stakeholders creates synergy. The authors developed a model called the Star Model because of its five-tailed shape. The results of the study can be useful to universities, business, government, non-governmental organizations, and professional associations to form interactions and develop policies and strategies for their development and the development of the economy.

Authors: Stetsenko Anna
Published: April 2024

This article presents a brief history of Italian rhythmical translations of Modest Mussorgsky's libretto for his opera Boris Godunov, each apparently drawing on Michel Delines’ French version from 1908. The author explores the possibility of studying the opera's reception in Italy in connection with the reception of its translations and conducts a brief comparative analysis of four Italian versions of the opera (two from 1908, one from 1909, and one from 1978) alongside both the original and the French version, using one fragment as an example. The paper also aims to draw attention to the lack of serious studies on opera translations and the translators themselves, emphasizing their role as mediators between different cultures.

Fluid management in renal transplantation: Is it time to move towards goal-directed directed therapy?
Authors: Tan Addy Yong Hui , Loh Ne-Hooi Will
Published: April 2024

Achieving optimal fluid balance for a patient undergoing major surgery, especially transplant surgery, has always been the lofty goal of peri-operative care,1 which often proves to be an elusive target. While keeping the patient well hydrated improves organ perfusion, being too generous with fluids can result in morbidity, such as venous congestion and tissue oedema. On the flip side, keeping the patient less than well hydrated may potentially reduce blood loss, but water deprivation exposes organs to the risk of injury. The complex process of achieving optimal fluid management is further amplified in renal transplantation, where the interplay of different factors such as tissue oedema leading to vascular anastomotic failure against acute tubular necrosis from intraoperative hypotension and dehydration, creates a convoluted puzzle waiting to unfold. One can no longer rely on the traditional goal of achieving an adequate urine output but rather, depend on other markers to gauge the patient's fluid status.
