Authors: Li Shaoxing , Zhang Jurong , Lin Zhuandi , Xiang Zhiming , Peng Gongyong
Published: August 2024

Objective: Vascular remodeling due to chronic hypoxia (CH) occurs not only in the pulmonary arteries but also in the pulmonary veins. Pulmonary vascular remodeling arises from the proliferation of pulmonary vascular myocytes. However, the mechanism by which CH induces the proliferation of pulmonary vein smooth muscle cells (PVSMCs) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which CH affects the proliferation of PVSMCs. Methods: PVSMCs were isolated from rat distal pulmonary veins and exposed to CH (4% O2, 60h), and the expression of the calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) was detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation viability of the cells, and the changes in the intracellular calcium concentration were detected by laser confocal scanning technique. Results: CaSR expression was present in rat distal PVSMCs, and CaSR protein expression was upregulated under hypoxia. The positive regulator spermine not only enhanced CH-induced CaSR upregulation but also enhanced CH-induced increase in cell viability and calcium ion concentration. The negative CaSR regulator NPS2143 not only attenuated CH-induced CaSR upregulation but also inhibited CH-induced cell viability and calcium ion concentration. Conclusion: CaSR-mediated hyperproliferation is a novel pathogenic mechanism for the development of proliferation in distal PVSMCs under CH conditions.

В настоящее время активно развиваются средства автоматизированного проектирования, что положительно сказывается на эффективности и разнообразии реализации строительных процессов». Скорость выполнения проектно-строительных работ - один из важнейших факторов достижения наиболее эффективной и менее затратной реализации различных проектов. В этом может помочь внедрение технологии информационного моделирования. Так как в настоящий момент времени распространенность технологий информационного моделирования в строительной сфере в России находится на низком уровне, а попытки внедрения организациями технологий информационного моделирования в свою структуру зачастую не несут за собой никакого эффекта и часто заканчиваются провалом. Это значит, что механизмов, которые позволяли бы технологиям информационного моделирования стать неотъемлемой частью строительной сферы России, еще не существует или они малоэффективны, поэтому создание эффективного механизма является актуальной задачей на сегодняшний день. В данном исследовании произведен анализ процесса цифровизации в целом, анализ программного обеспечения для цифровизации строительной отрасли, а также основные тенденции цифровизации проектно-строительной деятельности в России. Была предложена система критериев для получения субсидии на покупку лицензий программного обеспечения отечественных разработчиков небольшим проектно-строительным организациям.

Authors: Soltani S. E. , Krikunov O. A.
Published: August 2024

Objective. To analyse bacterial agents as etiological factors of infective endocarditis in patients with mitral valve disease.
Materials and methods. The study included 287 patients who underwent mitral valve surgery, 205 men and 82 women. The mean age of the patients in this sample was (50.1 ± 2.9) years, and they had a history of informative endocarditis with mitral valve involvement. All patients underwent surgical treatment – mitral valve repair (experimental group)/prosthetics (control group). The data of primary medical records (medical histories, primary medical records), results of histological and bacteriological studies and instrumental examination were analysed.
Results. In 49.1% of patients, the etiological factors of infective endocarditis were bronchopulmonary (16.4%), urological (12.2%), general surgical (6.6%) diseases, and in 20.6% – hospital–acquired infection. In 30.3% of patients, the cause of infective endocarditis was not identified. The most common microflora was identified: Staphylococcus spp. (19.2%); Enterococcus spp. (15.0%); Streptococcus spp. (3.5%). In detailing the identification of the pathogen during the histological examination of intraoperative material, the most common bacterial agents were found to be etiological factors of infective endocarditis. Enterococcus, Staphylococcus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The most common microflora in the study group: Enterococcus – 15.4%, Staphylococcus – 9.5%, Staphylococcus epidermidis – 9.5% and Staphylococcus aureus – 7.4% in the control group: Enterococcus – 23.2%, Staphylococcus – 10.6%, Staphylococcus epidermidis – 6.7% and Streptococcus – 4.7% (p ≥ 0.05). Histological examination of mitral valve vegetations revealed the most common bacterial agents: Staphylococcus aureus (3.6%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (5.1%) and Enterococcus faecalis (10.7%). Histological examination of the mitral valve revealed differences in predisposition factors for the development of infective endocarditis.
Conclusions. It was determined that patients who underwent mitral valve repair were free of fungal microflora and mixed forms of microorganisms, and in patients who underwent MV prosthetics, they were found only rarely. It was found that the bacterial microflora in the experimental and control groups had differences. It was found that primary infective endocarditis of the mitral valve was statistically significantly more common in the study group (56.2%) than in the control group (38.7%) (p = 0.004, χ2  = 8.15).
Assessment of the condition of pine stands in the urban forests of the city of Tyumen (on the example of the park “Gilevskaya Roshcha”)

Published: August 2024

The purpose of the work is to develop proposals for the preservation of unique pine plantations growing in the Gilevskaya Roshcha Park based on the analysis of their current state. The data of the analysis of the current state of pine stands in the park “Gilyovskaya Roshcha” of the city of Tyumen, obtained taking into account the sanitary condition, the presence of damage to trees and their relative vital condition, are presented. According to the analyzed indicators, the condition of pine forests on all temporary sample plots is assessed as weakened. Data have been obtained that increased recreational impact leads to a decrease in the number of healthy trees and an increase in the proportion of severely weakened and dying trees. The smallest diameters and volume indicators are characterized by severely weakened and drying trees. It has been established that mechanical damage, as well as tar flow, are most common in trees. The dependence of a threefold increase in mechanical damage on tree trunks growing in the zone of active visits compared to the zone of low visits was recorded. The decrease in the vital condition of pine stands in the Gilevskaya Roshcha Park is significantly influenced by the age by which the stands are characterized as overmature. This process is aggravated by the fact of long-term use of these plantations for recreation purposes – more than 50 years. To prevent the degradation of plantations in the Gilev Roshcha Park, as well as to increase the stability of pine forests, a number of forestry measures have been proposed, in particular, the removal of weakened trees lagging behind in the growth of potential falloff, as well as damaged, emergency and aesthetically unattractive trees in the process of landscape felling. The use of tree introductions for the expansion of biological diversity and the implementation of measures to limit the movement of recreationists, in particular, the creation of plantings of shrubs along the path network, deserve attention.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of the work is to develop a methodology for modeling and predicting the state of a landslide based on the results of observations obtained in real time using an automated monitoring system including geotechnical and geodetic equipment (surface tilt meters, electric three-dimensional fracture meters, soil pressure sensors, inclinometers). The object of the study is the real data of the results of geotechnical monitoring during the work on the “Construction and reconstruction of retaining walls on the A‑147 Dzhubga- Sochi-border with the Republic of Abkhazia, Krasnodar Territory. On the section km 195+310 – km 196+985”. Traditional methods of studying monitoring results are limited to visualization of observations and calculation of descriptive characteristics, meanwhile, observations represent a time sequence that can be considered from the point of view of the theory of stochastic time series. The aim of the study was to identify patterns of landslide processes in order to update the data-based approach. The obtained results of the analysis of landslide slope monitoring data allow us to conclude that observations can be described by models of multidimensional time series (autoregressive, moving average, moving average autoregression, pro-integrated moving average autoregression and vector regression), which can be used to predict the development of landslides and quantify risk.

Published: August 2024

In recent years, every movie has begun with the statutory warning saying, “Smoking Causes Cancer and Smoking Kills; Liquor Drinking is Injurious to Health." These statutory warnings are shown to the cinema audience to raise awareness that drinking and smoking are not socially accepted behaviours. This research aims to find out whether the actors' on-screen alcohol consumption and smoking in films had an influence on their fans. The study was conducted between the period August 2023 to October 2023.This study adopted a quantitative method with purposive sampling technique and the responses were collected through a survey from 254 male respondents from the state of Tamil Nādu. The study has found that such as age and locality are found to have high influence on the behaviour change at 0.01 level, Besides the age, locality, educational qualification, and occupation has high chances of fans Imitation by watching films 0.01 level. The impact of age, locality, and educational qualification on reinforcement and self-efficacy has significant relationships at the 0.01 level of significance thus shows how fans support and oppose actors' similar actions. Movie watching in theatre compared with self-efficacy does not have significant relationship because fans does not resist in influencing by watching their favourite actors. The findings revealed many significant associations and thus shows the relationship between movie-watching habits had influence on adoption of onscreen behaviours of their favourite actors. As a result, the representations of drinking and smoking by the actors have the potential to have a negative influence on fans health and lifestyle.

Ruh Bir Kuş, Beden Bir Kafes: Osmanlı Türbe Mimarlığında Ölüm Metaforu
Authors: Keskin Mustafa Çağhan
Published: August 2024

XVII. yüzyıl ortalarından itibaren Osmanlı gömüt mimarisinde kubbe ile örtülü geleneksel türbeler terk edilirken, kubbenin yerini demir kafesler, hatta türbelerin yerini doğrudan kafes içine alınmış kabirler, diğer bir deyişle kafes türbeler almaya başlamıştır. Özünde, ölüye kutsiyet atayarak kültleştiren anıtsal mezar yapılarının İslam anlayışına uygun olmadığı yönündeki görüşler çerçevesinde tercih edilen söz konusu türbeler görünüş itibariyle devasa kuş kafeslerini andırmakta, tasarım ilhamını doğrudan kuş kafeslerinden almaktadır. Nitekim, Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar, romantik bir tavırla kaleme aldığı Beş Şehir adlı gezi dizisinde demir kafesle örtülü açık türbelerin en nitelikli örneği olan Üsküdar’da bulunan Gülnuş Emetullah Valide Sultan Türbesi’ni devasa bir kuş kafesi olarak tanımlar. Tasarımın sembolik dayanağı, Türk ve İslam kültüründe mitoloji, tasavvuf ve edebiyatta çeşitli referansları bulunan, halk arasında popülerliğini hiç kaybetmeyen bedenin bir kafes, ruhun ise kuş olarak imgeleştirildiği, ölümün kuşun yani ruhun bedeni yani kafesi terk edişi olarak yorumlayan geleneksel ölüm metaforudur. Bu çalışma, ruhu kuş, bedeni ise kafes tanımlayarak ölümü kuşun kafesi terk etmesi şeklinde somutlayan geleneksel metaforun türbe mimarisinde temsilini tartışmayı amaçlar.

Percobaan disusun secara faktorial dalam Rancangan Kelompok Lengkap Teracak dengan 3 ulangan menggunakan varietas SS-Sakato. Faktor pertama adalah jarak tanam yaitu 10 cm x 10 cm, 10 cm x 15 cm, 15 cm x 15 cm, dan 15 cm x 20 cm. Faktor kedua adalah dosis pupuk NPKMg (10:12:17:2) yaitu 200, 400, 600, dan 800 kg ha-1. Jarak tanam 10 cm x 15 cm menghasilkan luas daun, jumlah umbi dan bobot basah umbi per rumpun, hasil ubinan dan produktivitas lebih tinggi dibandingkan jarak tanam 10 cm x 10 cm, 15 cm x 15 cm, dan 15 cm x 20 cm. Laju transpirasi tertinggi juga dihasilkan dari jarak tanam 10 cm x 15 cm untuk semua dosis pupuk NPKMg (10:12:17:2), kecuali 400 kg ha-1. Peningkatan dosis pemupukan pada rentang 200 - 800 kg NPKMg (10:12:17:2) tidak meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan hasil umbi karena kandungan N rendah (20 – 80 kg ha-1) sehingga perlu tambahan pupuk tunggal sumber N.

Introduction: High rates of breast cancer mortality have been reported for patients from public healthcare, in Brazil. This study aimed to obtain a panorama of breast cancer in public healthcare, based on a questionnaire sent to breast specialists. Methods: Active members of the Brazilian Society of Mastology (SBM) were invited to participate anonymously, from Aug-Oct 2023. Possible answers ranged from “This is not a problem” to “This is a very serious, very common problem”. The primary endpoint of the study was the relative frequency of the answers. Results: Overall, 767 (44% of all SBM affiliated members) completed the questionnaire. Access to modern drugs was considered the most concerning problem, with 81.36% of respondents classifying this as “serious, frequently” or “very serious, very frequently”, followed by access to diagnostic methods (64.53%), access to breast reconstruction (60.24%), delay in starting treatment (60.11%) and access to screening (51.76%). Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate the perceptions of breast specialists on breast cancer care within SUS. The SBM has issued considerations and proposals aimed at reestablishing a minimally adequate standard of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in public healthcare in Brazil.

Secularisation as the Fragmentation of the Sacred and of Sacred Space
Authors: Van der Tol Marietta , Gorski Philip
Published: August 2024

Contemporary conflicts about secularity in ‘the West’ tend to focus on public space. Although collective Christian heritage means that public space is rarely exclusively neutral, conflicts continue to arise over the relationship between secularity and religious symbolism, and especially over those symbols which derive from religious minorities. This contribution critically considers the designation of space as either sacred or secular in political imaginaries, approaching processes of secularisation as part of a fragmentation of the sacred and of sacred space. We introduce the concept of trans-liminal space: spaces which can contain multiple and potentially conflicting ascriptions of meaning. Conceptualizing public space as trans-liminal allows for contemporaneous and competing ascriptions of the secular, the sacred, the secular-sacred, and the sacred-secular, without being exclusively grounded in either. Trans-liminality does not preclude public space to be predominantly secular, but it does problematise the phenomenon of normative exclusions of religious symbols from public spaces.
Public Witness through the Church as the Disciple Community in the Context of Christian Nationalism
Authors: Watkins Myra
Published: August 2024

In Central and Eastern Europe, some branches of the Church have formed alliances with nationalist politics characterized by fundamentalism and fanaticism. To identify this phenomenon, Czech theologian Tomaš Halik coined the term “f-word pseudoreligion.” Pavol Bargár suggests that such an approach to one’s faith and public witness is one of the most serious challenges the church’s mission in CEE must face. First, the other tends to be viewed as a menace rather than a precious gift. Second, its adherents can fall prey to idealized traditionalism rather than drawing from the treasures of Christian tradition, the gospel itself. After defining Christian nationalism, I will focus on the Visegrád nations: Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. In response to this missional challenge, I argue for public witness through the church as a disciple community. Discipleship as apprenticeship to Jesus does not lie in affiliation to an established church representing a particular national identity. Such idealized traditionalism found in settled religious forms can be called temple spirituality. The apostle Paul did not focus on temple spirituality or church planting; he nurtured disciple communities toward maturity in Christ. While Biblicism, crucicentrism, conversionism, and activism define a certain kind of evangelical piety, the church as a disciple community is both pilgrim and indigenous. When the telos of loving communion with God and neighbor shapes the disciple community’s identity and mission, churches can engage biblical resources and traditions to serve social realities in ways that bring hope, reconciliation, and healing.
“The Main Questions of Christian Ethics”: Following Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Barcelona Lecture
Authors: Denysenko Anatoliy
Published: August 2024

The intellectual legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945), one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, has been interpreted in various ways. His ideas were both mooched off of and developed. His judgments regarding certain elements of Christian ethics were no exception. In order to avoid falling into the trap of modern interpreters of Bonhoeffer, who often tailor the views of this theologian to fit their own paradigm, accepting some of his ideas and ignoring others, it is necessary to independently research the entirety of his works, which have survived and reached us thanks to his student and friend, Eberhart Bethge. Therefore, the purpose of this essay is to comprehensively examine those parts of Bonhoeffer’s work that receive the least attention in wider theological circles. In other words, we will see the statements of a different Bonhoeffer, not the one that is known to the general readership. Bonhoeffer’s dissertations, books, articles, sermons, lectures, correspondence, poetry, etc., totaled sixteen volumes. The Lutheran theologian developed his concept of ethics throughout his (unfortunately, very short) life, but this concept is known mostly for Bonhoeffer’s key work of the ‘40s, aptly titled – “Ethics.” Therefore, in order to understand where his original and sometimes radical ethical ideas originate, one should turn to the texts of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his biography. The relevance of our material lies in the fact that the Ukrainian reader is largely unfamiliar with Bonhoeffer’s early works. Moreover, today’s Ukrainian reader only has a translation of his letters and notes from prison. To investigate the ethical teaching of this German theologian, researchers should start with his Barcelona lecture and move to his life’s work, that is, to the aforementioned “Ethics.” Bonhoeffer’s work is relevant more than ever in the current Ukrainian context, which is essentially a state of war with Russia’s invading horde and in which ordinary Christians (and not only they) face ethical challenges on a daily basis. And although Bonhoeffer’s texts are written, to a greater extent, from the position of a German (it is difficult to justify the wars that Germany waged in the 20th century), he was still right on certain issues that will be discussed in the essay.

Self-concept has been consistently considered as a significant predictor of exercise behaviours and physical activity participation among people. This study examined the influence of self-concept on physical exercise participation among academic staff of some selected Universities in the Southwest Nigeria. An institutional-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 2023 through February 2024 to investigate the population of 3,199 academic staff of some selected Universities in the Southwest Nigeria. The sample of the study comprised 1800 participants selected through a proportionate sampling. A questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Data were collected from 1536 respondents on the influence of self-concept and physical exercise participation scale (r-~= 0.63). Results indicated significant positive relationship (R = 0.49; p < 0.05) among the participants and contributed 24.4% to the variance of academic staff exercise behaviour. Self-concept variables predicted exercise behaviour (p < 0.05) in sport morality, social-self, self-confidence and accommodation of conflicts while family sport was not significant. It was concluded that self-concept of the academic staff influences participation in physical exercise. The study recommended that university authorities should preserve the recreational quality of the institutions and their enjoyment value for academic staff.
