Published: March 2022

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced most activities around the world, especially EFL education. Due to the pandemic, all schools and colleges must turn traditional education into online education through online learning platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and so forth. The research aims to investigate the concentration challenges that EFL students at Van Lang University are encountering while they are studying online. The paper used quantitative and qualitative methods by conducting questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews with 100 second-year, third-year, and four-year students at the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Van Lang University (VLU). Based on the data collection, the results of this research have demonstrated that most EFL students faced some common distractions like external noises, unstable internet connections, the harmful effects of too much screen time, and so on. After the investigation, this study suggests that lecturers at the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Van Lang University look for numerous positive solutions to solve EFL students' trouble in order to enhance the quality of online courses.

The first report of the human development index was at 1990, it is an important tool to evaluate the progress in the countries by GDP growth and social issues. Is the classification of HDII enough to explain the international relation between the categories of the countries that belongs to the same level of HDI? Giving evidences to grow the trend of trade between the nearest GDP countries, it is a formula of HDI and trade, the paper divided into three sections, First: The distribution of the human development index in the global and the areas that appeared; Second: Evaluate the distribution of the human development index in the top ten world; Third: Export between the top 10 HDI countries.

“Self-Learning French Coursebooks” as Part of French Education in Post Tanzimat Era of the Ottoman Empire
Authors: Canakli Levent Ali , Alabay Sercan
Published: March 2022

French teaching in Ottoman Turkey found its actual speed with the Tanzimat period (the political reforms made in the ottoman state in 1839). Until the proclamation of the Republic, and even until the 1950s, French was considered the leading carrier of Western culture and civilization in Turkey, and teaching French was deemed necessary. However, it cannot be said that this was a very successful and sufficient period for French and foreign language teaching in general. Failure to fulfill the primary conditions of language teaching, such as teacher, material, and method, has been the main problem of foreign language teaching. When the lack of schooling is added, “self-learning French” books have emerged as an opportunity for teaching French, although they are not many. The five books discussed in the article, written in Turkish using the Arabic alphabet between 1867 and 1928, mostly describe the basic pronunciation rules, word types, sentence features, and grammatical information of French, starting with the alphabet, in a plain language and style. Although there was a good variety of French-Turkish dictionaries at that time, since economic conditions did not allow everyone to acquire a glossary, and even if there was an opportunity, which dictionary to choose is a different problem, as a standard feature in all of them, the vocabulary parts of the books were kept very wide. Books; It has been seen that both of them are successful when the measures such as showing the pronunciation of French words, grammatical knowledge that is not suffocating, broad vocabulary, the relevance of French and Turkish translation texts, page structure, language, and simplicity of expression are taken into account.

Authors: Firdaus Riyadh , Setiani Dea Britta Hilda
Published: March 2022

Mual dan muntah merupakan dua efek samping pasca operasi yang paling sering ditemui. Mual muntah pasca operasi atau Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) juga erat kaitannya dengan lama rawat pasien di ruang pemulihan, perawatan yang sebelumnya tidak direncanakan, serta meningkatnya biaya perawatan. Tatalaksana PONV yang optimal merupakan serangkaian proses yang kompleks. International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) mengeluarkan pedoman keempat untuk tatalaksana PONV pada Agustus 2020 lalu. Sebelumnya IARS telah mempublikasikan tiga pedoman terdahulu yaitu pada tahun 2003, 2009, dan 2014. Pedoman konsensus terbaru PONV memberikan lebih banyak evidence-based untuk tatalaksana PONV yang komprehensif baik pada orang dewasa maupun anak. Profilaksis multimodal PONV meliputi kombinasi antiemetik dari golongan yang berbeda, menggunakan dosis efektif minimum, minim penggunaan opioid, dan anestesi inhalasi. Prinsip – prinsip tatalaksana PONV pada pedoman saat ini juga diaplikasikan untuk tatalaksana PONV pada Enhanced Recovery Pathways.
Efek Akupresur (Sea-Band®) terhadap Penurunan Insiden Mual Muntah Pascaoperatif pada Pasien yang Dilakukan Anestesia Umum Inhalasi: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Madjid Amir Sjarifuddin , Firdaus Riyadh , Fadli Muhammad Arief
Published: March 2022

Latar belakang: PONV dapat terjadi pada 20-30% pasien, bahkan pada pasien-pasien yang berisiko tinggi bisa mencapai sekitar 70%. PONV menyebabkan peningkatan morbiditas, menurunnya kepuasan pasien dan meningkatnya biaya yang dikeluarkan pasien. Salah satu cara nonfarmakologi yang dapat dilakukan untuk menurunkan mual muntah pascaoperasi adalah dengan pemakaian akupresur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas pemakaian akupresur Sea-Band® untuk menurunkan angka kejadian mual muntah pascaoperasi pada pasien yang menjalani anestesia umum inhalasi.

Metode: Dilakukan pembiusan umum pada 88 pasien ASA 1-2 yang menjalani pembedahan risiko tinggi PONV. Tujuh pasien dikeluarkan, akupresur 41 sampel dan kontrol 40 sampel. Pada kelompok perlakukan diberikan lakukan pemasangan akupresur Sea-Band® 30-60 menit sebelum dilakukan pembiusan. Seluruh sampel diberikan antiemetik. Dilakukan pencatatan angka kejadian mual muntah selama 0-2 jam pascaoperasi di ruang pulih dan 2-24 jam di ruang rawat inap. Tidak didapatkan terjadinya efek samping pada kedua kelompok.

Hasil: Didapatkan hasil yang tidak berbeda bermakna antara kedua kelompok dalam insidens mual dan muntah di ruang pemulihan (0-2 jam). Insidens mual dalam 0-2 jam antara akupresur vs plasebo adalah 9,75 % vs 25 % (p > 0,05) dan insidens muntah dalam 0-2 jam antara akupresur vs plasebo adalah 4,87 % vs 17,5 % (p> 0,05). Insidens mual dalam 2-24 jam antara akupresur vs plasebo adalah 2,43 % vs 20 % (p < 0,05). Insidens muntah dalam 2-24 jam antara akupresur vs plasebo adalah 0 % vs 7,5 % (p > 0,05). Tidak didapatkan terjadinya efek samping pada kedua kelompok. Tercatat bahwa 90,2% mengatakan puas dengan manfaat penggunaan akupresur dan pemberian ondansetron, bahkan pada kelompok yang sama sebanyak 4,9% menyatakan sangat puas.

Kesimpulan: Penggunaan akupresur Sea-Band® dengan Ondansetron terbukti dapat menurunkan angka kejadian mual pada rentang waktu 2-24 jam setelah operasi dengan anestesia umum inhalasi.

Use of Multiple Digital Learning Environments: A study About Fragmented Information Awareness
Authors: Saplacan Diana , Herstad Jo , Pajalic Zada
Published: March 2022

The study focuses on fragmented information awareness as a result of the cross-use of Digital Learning Environments (DLEs), rather than focusing on the use of individual Learning Management Systems (LMSs). This study goes beyond adopting an educational perspective as the classical studies on LMSs do. DLEs are defined as a plethora of digital systems that may be used within a teaching/learning context, including LMSs, but also social media shared dashboards communication tools, etc. used in such context. The paper addresses the issues encountered by different actors (students, teaching staff) when using DLEs. The study is theoretically anchored within the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)/Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) concept of awareness, repurposing the concept in an educational setting. The paper introduces fragmented information awareness, which is a new concept in the extensive existent body of literature on systems supporting Situation Awareness (SA), distributed, and shared awareness. The contribution of this paper lies in defining, describing, and addressing fragmented information awareness, grounded in empirical qualitative data. Moreover, the study addresses Universal Design (UD) issues by proposing a set of recommendations for non-fragmented information awareness from within and from without. Overall, the study subscribes to the third and fourth HCI waves.
Da representação da mulher nas composições da banda norte-americana Bikini Kill
Authors: Trevisan Juliana Valeri Simão , De Carvalho Brenda Ribeiro , Santos Larissa Medeiros Marinho dos
Published: March 2022

O punk é um movimento de contracultura opositor ao sistema e a cultura dominante, com ideologias antifascistas, antisexistas e princípios de igualdade. Na vertente do punk hardcore, surge, em 1991, a banda norte americana Bikini Kill, objeto deste trabalho, que em suas composições aborda temas com viés feminista, político e de denúncia. Neste trabalho, a música é vista em sua dimensão social, enquanto produtora de identidade e representante do contexto sócio-histórico. O objetivo foi analisar as músicas da banda, identificando a perspectiva do feminino e as implicações sociais presentes, para compreender a identidade das mulheres daquele contexto. A metodologia empregada foi a análise bibliográfica-documental das músicas, de textos e materiais produzidos sobre o punk e o feminismo. A análise relacionou as composições com o contexto sócio-histórico em que foram escritas e cantadas, considerando a abordagem histórica-social de Lev Vygotsky, sobre a arte e seu papel social, e teóricas feministas como Judith Butler.
DETERMINANTS OF COMPETITIVENESS OF DAIRY ENTERPRISES ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE WIELKOPOLSKA REGION
Authors: Wiza Paulina
Published: March 2022

The aim of the article is to determine the competitive potential of selected dairy enterprises located in the Wielkopolska Region and establish the determinants of competitiveness of the researched entities. The selection of the research sample was purposive and was determined by two assumptions. First of all, the Wielkopolska Region, according to the data of the Central Statistical Office, takes third place in terms of milk production in Poland, where the cooperative character of milk processing prevails. This region has the largest number of dairy cooperatives, i.e., 26 cooperative dairy plants operated in 2019, constituting a share, in the whole industry, at a level of 16%. Secondly, for empirical research, only district dairy cooperatives located in the Wielkopolska Region were selected, which, since 2007 to 2019, submitted their financial statements to the Emerging Markets Information Service (EMIS) database, conducted business activities and were engaged in milk processing and the production of dairy products. At the end of 2019, there were fifteen entities that met the above criteria, and this group was selected for further empirical analysis. The conducted research shows that dairy cooperatives, having short term financial liabilities and an average income from sales, have the best competitive potential. The weakest competitive potential was achieved by cooperatives with long-term financial liabilities and a low profitability of sales of offered products. The evaluation of competitive potential showed that the direction of influence of evaluated elements of competitive potential was not clearly defined. It means that we should think over the construction of the synthetic measure for the evaluation of the competitive potential of dairy enterprises, which, apart from the financial condition, will consider other areas i.e., the production potential, investment outlays borne by an enterprise for modernization, the purchase volume of milk and the number of suppliers cooperating with a given enterprise.
THE DEPOSIT AND CREDIT ACTIVITY OF INDIVIDUAL FARMERS IN POLAND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Daniłowska Alina
Published: March 2022

The article aimed to assess the direction and strength of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the deposit and credit activity of farmers in Poland. The research method was a comparative analysis of the value of farmer deposits and debt time series. The National Bank of Poland was the data source. The research shows that at the beginning of the pandemic, the NBP significantly eased monetary policy. As a result, interest rates in the economy were falling till August and then stabilized. Despite the decline, farmer bank deposits increased. Current deposits in PLN dominated. The drop in interest rates did not increase the farmers’ credit demand. Although the debt value climbed at the beginning of the pandemic, it next fell considerably. What is worth underlining is that the debt value trend was similar to such trends in the past. Short term debt decreased mostly, which proves that farmers tried to adapt in this way to the increased uncertainty of farming conditions.
EMPLOYMENT TRENDS IN THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR
Authors: Klepacka Anna M.
Published: March 2022

The article aims to identify the changes in the number of employees in European Union (EU) countries in the renewable energy sector in 2018 compared to 2014. EurObserv’ER yearbooks were the source of data on employment and capacity for selected renewable energy sources. The paper uses descriptive and pair-wise comparison methods. The largest decreases in employment were observed among countries that are leaders in the RES market (e.g., Germany, France). On the other hand, the greatest increases in employment were determined by source development opportunities in a given country, e.g., biofuels in Romania, Poland, Hungary, or Lithuania. The conducted pair-wise comparison indicated that the relation between the change in the ranking position and the change in the number of employees was significant for EU countries, whose ranking positions are both in the first (combination AA – I) and the second ten (combination CC – II) in the RES sector. Moreover, the results of the statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship and p-value significance in 11 out of 12 variables adopted for correlation, covering the number of employed and installed capacity in selected RES sectors in 2014 and 2018.

Published: March 2022

Background. Clinically, functional instability (FI) of metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPJ) is not considered to represent a pathology. This excessive mobility can be detected by the application of external forces to a MCPJ at different angles. Our study aimed to measure the FI of 2nd to 5th MCPJ.
Materials and methods. A group of 36 healthy right-handed individuals were enrolled. The value of FI was measured in millimeters and verified by a CT scan. Statistical calculations was made in Statistica v.10.0.
Results. The largest values of the right and left-hand finger posterior displacement (FI) in the second to fifth MCPJ were obtained in the neutral position 0° (p<0.05). Measurements of volar displacement of the proximal phalanx second to fifth MCPJs in both hands revealed higher values at position 0° (p<0.05).
Conclusions. 1. FI of the second to fifth MCPJs is determined by anatomical configuration and dynamic stabilizers. 2. Instability measurements show that posterior displacement of the proximal phalanges is greater by at least 1 mm in the 0° neutral position.
The past is present Curating multi-temporality: the contemporary and the classical
Authors: Kosmadaki Polina
Published: March 2022

A recent trend within classical studies has been to readjust our perspective on what we call the classical by insisting ‘on the inextricable role of classical antiquity in informing the present and the importance of the study of antiquity for the practice of history and the humanities themselves in a technologically advanced, rapidly changing, globalized world’. Of course, classical eras existed and persist in several civilisational traditions. Here the focus is on the classical in its encounters with the contemporary in the field of contemporary art and curating. In this context, following James Porter’s topical propositions about ‘what is classical in classical antiquity’, the classical is considered as something that describes not a series of real properties in the world but a set of attitudes about the world; something that is predominantly a ‘habitus and a structure of feeling, by definition elusive, fleeting, paradoxical’, and which is ‘always in question and uncertain of itself”.This concept is used to rethink the classical alongside reframing strategies for contemporary art in cultural institutions with historical collections, and to reflect on curatorial and artistic practices that engage with the notion of non-linear temporality.

Published: March 2022

The study of n-dimensional fuzzy logic contributes to overcome the insufﬁciency of traditional FL in modeling imperfect and imprecise information coming from different experts. Based on representability, we extend results from fuzzy connectives to n-dimensional approach. This research on n-dimensional fuzzy implications (n-DI) pass through the next steps: (i) analytical studies; (ii) algebraic aspects; (iii) n-dimensional approach of fuzzy implication classes represented by fuzzy connectives as (S, N)-implications and QL-implications; (iv) studies of n-dimensional R-implications (n-DRI); (v) constructive method obtaining n-DRI based on n-dimensional aggregation operators and (vi) an introductory study considering an n-DI in modeling approximate reasoning.

Perspective Chapter: International Financial Markets and Financial Capital Flows - Forms, Factors and Assessment Tools
Authors: Badwan Nemer
Published: March 2022

This paper/chapter empirically examines the reaction of international financial markets and financial capital flows across many developing and emerging market economies, with a particular focus on the dynamics of capital flows across emerging market economies. Using daily data from (2000 to 2020) and controlling for a range of local and global macroeconomic and financial factors and global financial crisis, we use a fixed-effects panel approach quantitative and descriptive approach combined to show that emerging markets have been affected more than advanced economies. In particular, emerging economies in Asia and Europe have experienced the strongest impact on stocks, bonds and exchange rates in recent times, as well as sudden and large capital inflows. Our findings suggest that very large fiscal stimulus packages, as well as quantitative easing by central banks, helped restore overall investor confidence by lowering bond yields and boosting stock prices. Our findings also highlight the role that global factors and developments in the world’s leading financial centers play in financial conditions in emerging markets and developing countries. More importantly, the impact of quantitative easing measures related to the global financial crisis by central banks in developed countries.

Published: March 2022

Hypopharyngeal cancer is one of the most challenging pathologies regarding location, evolution, prognosis and functional implications. Since the hypopharynx is a crossroad in the digestive and respiratory pathways malignant pathology located at this site can cause dysphagia, odynophagia, respiratory distress and dysphonia. Complex anatomy and physiology of the hypopharynx make for pathology with a poor prognosis in late stages. Diagnosis and therapy are mandatory for ensuring high survival rates and as little functional impairment as possible. Therapy of hypopharyngeal cancer is a difficult test for both physician and patient. It requires a good collaboration between the ENT surgeon, pathologist, radiotherapist, chemotherapist, nutrition therapist and psychologist. Our approach to the subject is due to that data concerning this pathology is limited and the results of the overall oncology therapy are discouraging. Nonetheless, the technical steps of surgery make it difficult for ENT cancer surgeons to approach it, therefore the surgeons’ experience plays a very important role in decision making and establishing a good doctor-patient relationship, both during initial therapy and follow-up. We will also present an original technique developed in our clinic for restoring the continuity of the pharynx after total circular resection using the synthetic prosthesis.

Authors: Mohammadi Ali , Anukam Anthony
Published: March 2022

Since the world is gradually drifting toward sustainable development, renewable energy technologies are gaining traction and gasification technology is one of many renewable energy technologies that have gained popularity in recent times. The gasification technology is one of three main (combustion and pyrolysis) thermochemical conversion pathways that can be used to recover energy from biomass materials. Although the gasification technology has been in existence for centuries, it has not been exploited to its full potential mainly because the fundamental principles underpinning its operation are still vague, particularly with regard to feedstock flexibility and the type of gasification system. Furthermore, due to the many types of gasification systems, the mechanisms involved in their feedstock conversion processes are still under debate and require further research to clearly establish the optimum conditions of performance of each type of gasifier. Therefore, this chapter presents an overview of the gasification technology and discusses the different types of gasification systems that are commonly used today for the recovery of energy. The limitations of each type of gasifier in relation to performance and feedstock conversion are also discussed, including research priority areas that will allow for system optimization in terms of efficiency.

Published: March 2022

Teucrium esssential oil mediates an extensive spectrum of biological effects, including renal diseases. The aim of this research was to explore the ethnobotanical feature, biochemical composition and antiinflammatory potential of T. ramosissimum alone or prior the use of LPS-induced kidney damage. The essential oils were subjected to Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) apparatus to detect biomolecules in T. ramosissimum. In vivo renal dysfunction induced by LPS was investigated using mouse model. Our data showed that oral treatment of animals with LPS highly increased level of serum biomarkers and induces renal dysfuntion, whereas, pre-treatment with T. ramosissimum mediated markedly histopatological changes of kidney architecture and ameliorates renal function. Dense cover of secretory structures in teucrium leaves may protect this specie. Overall, this study showed phytocompounds richness and interesting biological activities of Tunisian Teucrium ramosissimum. Essential oil of this specie T. ramossimum given prior to LPS exposure protected mice from renal inflammation.
Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis Using Shear Wave Elastography: An Overview

All kinds of chronic liver disease can progress into liver fibrosis, and the stage of liver fibrosis is an important prognostic factor. Therefore, assessment of liver fibrosis is of importance for the management of the chronic liver disease. Although liver biopsy is considered the standard method, its invasive nature limits clinical use. In this regard, shear wave-based ultrasound elastography has been emerged as a noninvasive method to evaluate liver fibrosis. Among various techniques, transient elastography (TE) has been the most extensively used and validated method. TE provides good diagnostic performance in staging liver fibrosis. In addition to TE, point shear wave elastography (pSWE) and two-dimensional SWE (2D-SWE) have been developed as another noninvasive method, and also reported good diagnostic performance in staging liver fibrosis. Although TE, pSWE, and 2D-SWE show good performance in assessing liver fibrosis, concurrent inflammatory activity and/or hepatic congestion are important limitations in the current elastography technique.

Published: March 2022

Background: There have been many studies on arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery outcomes. However, few studies have investigated the outcomes of the arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tendon tear. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the medium-term clinical outcomes of the arthroscopic repair of an isolated subscapularis tendon tear in a four-year follow-up. Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed on all patients with shoulder pain who had isolated subscapularis tendon on magnetic resonance imaging and underwent arthroscopic evaluation and repair at Besat Hospital, Hamadan, Iran, during 2011 - 2017. The mean follow-up time was 4 years. The modified UCLA, Quick DASH, and visual analogue scale (VAS) were measured, and the belly-press test and lift-off test were completed in the examination. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software version 24. Results: Out of 11 patients, three were female (27.3%), and seven were male (72.7%). The mean age of patients was 59.42 ± 8.12 years. Nine patients were completely satisfied with the surgery outcome, and one was relatively satisfied. The mean UCLA score 2 years after the surgery increased significantly (33.28 ± 2.92 vs. 10.71 ± 3.4, P < 0.001). The mean Quick DASH reached from 38.26 ± 27.94 before surgery to 7.56 ± 16.43 (P = 0.003). Moreover, the mean VAS score significantly reduced (0.57 ± 1.51 post-intervention compared to 4.57 ± 1.21 pre-intervention, P < 0.001). Conclusions: The medium-term results of the arthroscopic repair of subscapular tendon tear were satisfactory. Therefore, it can be a reliable alternative method for open subscapularis tendon repair.
Report of a Case With Clinical and Pathologic Features of Castleman Disease That Predates Castleman's Report by More Than 50 Years
Authors: Pai Sanjay A. , Naresh Kikkeri N. , Borges Anita M.
Published: March 2022

Context.—

In 1954, Benjamin Castleman, MD, described what was then believed to be a new entity in lymph node pathology. Initially labeled “Hyperplasia of the mediastinal node” and then “Localized mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia resembling thymoma,” we now recognize the condition with the eponym “Castleman disease.” We document a paper that describes the same condition, a half century before Castleman did.

Objective.—

To report the striking resemblance between Castleman disease and the lymph node reported in the paper published by Edwin R. LeCount, MD, titled “Lymphoma, a benign tumor representing a lymph gland in structure,” published in Journal of Experimental Medicine in 1899. We also provide an overview of the remarkable achievements of LeCount.

Design.—

We compared the elucidation in the original paper by LeCount with the morphologic details in the papers published by Castleman et al. Material on the life of LeCount was compiled from the scientific literature, the Internet, and the files of the University of Chicago.

Results.—

LeCount's description and illustrations of the lymph node are uncannily similar to the onion-skinning and vascularity that Castleman documented.

Conclusions.—

LeCount deserves credit for his depiction of a hitherto-unreported entity.

Global production and consumption of plastics and its deposition in the environment are growing rapidly, while their life-cycle impacts to the environment are yet to be fully understood. This study reviews the existing literature with the goal of evaluating the state of current data and knowledge on plastics life-cycle environmental impacts. We identified 98 peer-reviewed journal papers, 25 reports, 8 databases as well as 21 existing reviews on the environmental impacts of plastics. Our review shows that life-cycle approaches have been instrumental in gaining new insights on the environmental implications of plastics. Global life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from plastics, for example, is estimated to be around 1.7 Gt CO2 e yr -1 , which is substantially larger than the GHG emissions from global aviation. LCAs have also been widely employed in various comparative studies such as biomass v.s. petroleum-based plastics, single-use plastics v.s. multi-use alternatives, which often result in counterintuitive outcomes. However, our analysis also indicates that there still is a paucity of reliable data and tools for conducting LCAs of plastics. In particular, we find that Asia, the major plastic-producing region, is scarcely covered by existing literature and databases. In addition, the life-cycle impacts of plastic additives, and the degradation pathways and associated environmental, human and ecological impacts of plastics are poorly understood, limiting our ability to gauge the life-cycle impacts of plastics. Furthermore, we find that a consensus on the allocation of environmental impacts for the recycling and reuse of plastics is yet to be reached. We identify four major areas of future research including: (1) developing the method for reliable estimate of the amount of plastics entering the environment, (2) understanding plastics environmental degradation pathways, degradation byproducts, and their human and ecological impacts, (3) expanding the coverage of life-cycle inventory data across geographies and additives, and (4) building consensus on key methodological issues including those around allocation.

Published: March 2022

Aim. 5S rDNA belongs to the moderately repeated, tandemly arranged sequences composed of coding regions and intergenic spacers (IGS). The IGS comparison is successfully used for the study of microevolution and in the molecular taxonomy of plants, vertebrates and some invertebrates. However, 5S rDNA of insects still remains insufficiently characterized. In this article, we analyze the molecular organization and polymorphism of 5S rDNA IGS of Apis mellifera ligustica. Methods. DNA extraction, PCR amplification, cloning of 5S rDNA, sequencing, bioinformatics analysis. Results. The 5S rDNA IGS of A. m. ligustica was cloned into the plasmid vector and sequenced. The obtained sequences were compared with the same genomic region of A. m. carnica. It was found that the genome of A. m. ligustica contains one class of IGS, which is represented by structural subclasses 1A, 1B, 1G and 1F. Two of these subclasses, 1G and 1F, which are identified here for the first time, are specific for A. m. ligustica. Conclusions. The obtained results show a high intra- and intergenomic polymorphism of 5S rDNA within the subspecies of Apis mellifera.Keywords: 5S rDNA, intergenic spacer, repeated sequences, Apis mellifera, Apidae.
