Authors: Salih Alyaa Abdulhadi
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study examines how epigenetic mechanisms control the expression of the estrogen receptor (ER) gene in ovarian cancer, concentrating on DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs in Iraqi population samples. Method: Bisulfite sequencing was used to measure the DNA methylation levels of the ER gene in tissue samples from ovarian cancer patients and healthy controls, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) tests were used to examine histone alterations. Using RNA sequencing, important non-coding RNAs affecting ER pathways were found. The epigenetic variations between malignant and healthy tissues were assessed using comparative analysis. Results: The results showed that the ER gene was significantly more methylated in cancer tissues (67%) than in healthy samples (21%), which resulted in decreased cellular estrogen responses and increased proliferation. Oncogenes were activated by elevated histone H3K9 acetylation levels (1.7 AU vs. 0.8 AU), but tumor suppressor genes were inhibited by elevated H3K27 methylation (2.1 AU). These modifications draw attention to important epigenetic modifications that aid in the development of ovarian cancer. Novelty: By identifying region-specific epigenetic markers in ovarian cancer, this work highlights the significance of population-targeted research in enhancing cancer outcomes and provides insights into tailored therapy approaches.

DNA INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH FOLATE DEﬁCIENCY
Authors: Salih Alyaa Abdulhadi
Published: December 2024

Folate, also referred to as Vitamin B9, is a type of vitamin that dissolves in water and plays a central role in preserving the integrity of  DNA molecules and gene expression through the construction of DNA and methylation. Folate cannot be synthesised in vivo and must be obtained from the diet, particularly fruits and green leafy vegetables. deficiency of folate increases the risk of DNA stability due to uracil misincorporation into the DNA backbone and chromosome breaks, it can lead to the accumulation of deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) which impairs the pathway of dTMP synthesis. in addition, it reduces the availability of methyl donors which causes impaired methylation patterns. Finally, it can generate oxidative stress leading to mtDNA damage and eventually to genomic instability. Different studies and measurement methods have produced varying evidence on the connection between folate and DNA stability, So we encourage to increase in folic acid intake for at-risk groups, but more rigorous human studies are needed before scientifically based public health recommendations about dietary requirements can be made.

Authors: Alfonso Alfredo
Published: December 2024

El principal protagonista del mercado cinematográfico mundial de la última década fue China, donde la alta tasa de crecimiento se refiere a una población de 1.400 millones de personas. Como muestra de ellos es que en 2020, en medio de la pandemia, por primera vez la taquilla china superó la taquilla estadounidense. En el crecimiento compulsivo del mercado cinematográfico chino hay distintos factores, de los que se destacan tres. El primero es la incorporación china a la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC), lo que ha impulsado a la incorporación de productos y servicios extranjeros, entre ellos el cine. El segundo factor es el creciente interés de la política pública china en lo referente a las industrias culturales, en particular la del audiovisual, para reforzar y ampliar la categorización de visibilidad del desarrollo económico. A su vez, esta estrategia permitió entrar de manera estable en el mercado internacional. Este artículo intenta sumar datos en este nuevo escenario.
Los abordajes epistémico-metodológicos en el campo de estudios y prácticas de la economía popular en Argentina. Un análisis desde la coproducción de conocimiento, de María Mercedes Palumbo (Coord.) (2024)
Authors: Plaza Betina
Published: December 2024

La significatividad de las preguntas que nos propone este libro, coordinado por María Mercedes Palumbo, radica en los diálogos en torno a la coproducción de conocimiento, bajo la premisa “una ciencia que transforma y se transforma”. El texto promueve el diálogo como forma de entender y practicar “una ciencia comprometida participativa, democrática y dialógica”. El libro que reseñamos aquí presenta la originalidad de una perspectiva federal asumida intencionalmente, desde la cual convoca a un conjunto de investigadores e investigadoras que desarrollan su tarea investigativa en universidades públicas de diferentes regiones del país, dentro del campo de estudio y de acción de la economía popular. En ese proceso logra mapear una red de investigadores/as que se encuentran en sintonía, tanto por distanciarse del vínculo extractivista con los sujetos de investigación, como por asumir decisiones metodológicas desde una “opción coproductivista”.
Кластерный анализ постторговой инфраструктуры современных финансовых рынков
Authors: А. Апостолов
Published: December 2024

Постторговая инфраструктура финансового рынка призвана выполнять общественно значимые функции. Задача регулирующих органов заключается в том, чтобы обеспечивать стабильность и устойчивость клиринговой, расчётной и учётной деятельности на рынке ценных бумаг. В то же время плюрализм моделей организации постторговой инфраструктуры, сложившихся на современных финансовых рынках, не позволяет «стандартизировать» регуляторный инструментарий. Способом, позволяющим упростить процедуру выбора регуляторного инструментария, является кластерный анализ (стратегия «разделяй и властвуй»). Цель настоящего исследования заключается в определении структуры и отличительных признаков кластеров постторговой инфраструктуры современных финансовых рынков. Методами настоящего исследования являются частотный анализ и иерархический кластерный анализ. По результатам кластерного анализа выявлено три кластера: 1) финансовые рынки со сложноорганизованной постторговой инфраструктурой; 2) финансовые рынки с однородной постторговой инфраструктурой; 3) финансовые рынки с неоднородной постторговой инфраструктурой. Кластеризация постторговой инфраструктуры финансового рынка позволила систематизировать разнообразие существующих моделей и определить их потенциал для повышения устойчивости, снижения рисков и повышения эффективности постторговой деятельности. Полученные результаты могут использоваться регулирующими органами при принятии решения об организации или трансформации постторговой инфраструктуры финансового рынка

The post-trade infrastructure of financial markets is designed to fulfill socially significant functions. The role of regulatory authorities is to ensure the stability and resilience of clearing, settlement, and custody activities in the securities market. However, the plurality of post-trade infrastructure models across modern financial markets makes it challenging to "standardize" regulatory tools. One approach to streamlining the selection of regulatory instruments is cluster analysis (the "divide and conquer" strategy). This study aims to identify the structure and distinctive characteristics of post-trade infrastructure clusters in modern financial markets. The research methods used include frequency analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The cluster analysis identified three clusters: (1) financial markets with complex post-trade infrastructure; (2) financial markets with homogeneous post-trade infrastructure; and (3) financial markets with heterogeneous post-trade infrastructure. Clustering of financial market post-trade infrastructure enables the systematic categorization of existing models and facilitates the evaluation of their potential for enhancing resilience, reducing risks, and increasing efficiency in post-trade activities. The findings can be utilized by regulatory authorities when deciding on the organization or transformation of financial market post-trade infrastructure
