Symptomatic internal carotid artery dissection and kinking in a patient with fibromuscular dysplasia
Authors: Bilman Victor , Apruzzi Luca , Baccellieri Domenico , Sanvito Francesca , Bertoglio Luca , Chiesa Roberto
Published: May 2021

Abstract Isolated dissection of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is rare in young patients and is a cause for strong suspicion of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), especially when associated with artery elongation and tortuosity. The natural history of cerebrovascular FMD is unknown and management of symptomatic patients can be challenging. We report the case of a 44-year-old female patient with a history of transient ischemic attack in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors, associated with an isolated left ICA dissection and kinking. Carotid duplex ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of dissection and demonstrated severe stenosis of the left ICA. The patient underwent surgical repair and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of FMD with dissection. An autogenous great saphenous vein bypass was performed and the patient had an uneventful recovery. Cervical carotid artery dissection can be related to underlying arterial pathologies such as FMD, and the presence of ICA tortuosity highlights certain peculiarities for optimal management, which might be surgical.

Published: May 2021

Abstract: Maintaining the health of coffee seeds is especially important during storage, as soil fungi and storage fungi can considerably reduce seed quality. Thus, chemical treatments for protection of seeds in storage becomes important in agricultural production. It is necessary to evaluate the effects of these treatments on seedling development and the protection they provide against storage fungi, aiming at seed longevity and preventing rapid deterioration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chemical treatment on the physiological and sanitary quality of stored coffee seeds. Seeds of five Coffea arabica cultivars were pre-dried, treated with Vitavax®-Thiram, and placed in cold storage at 10 °C for nine months. Seed physiological quality was evaluated every three months by the germination test and by determination of root emergence percentage, seedlings with expanded cotyledonary leaves, and seedling dry matter. Seed health quality was assessed by the health test. The chemical treatment with Vitavax-Thiram does not affect the physiological quality of stored Coffea arabica seeds. Seed treatment before storage is effective in reducing the inoculum potential of Fusarium spp. and Phoma spp. in coffee seeds.

Vote-Based: Ensemble Approach
Authors: ABRO Abdul Ahad
Published: May 2021

Vote-based is one of the ensembles learning methods in which the individual classifier is situated on numerous weighted categories of the training datasets. In designing a method, training, validation and test sets are applied in terms of an ensemble approach to developing an efficient and robust binary classification model. Similarly, ensemble learning is the most prominent and broad research area of Machine Learning (ML) and image recognition, which assists in enhancing the capability of performance. In most cases, the ensemble learning algorithm yields better performance than ML algorithms. Unlike existing methods, the proposed technique aggregates an ensemble classifier, known as vote-based, to employ and integrate the advantage of ML classifiers, which are Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Naive Bayes (NB) and Logistic Model Tree (LMT). This paper proposes an ensemble framework that aims to evaluate datasets from the UCI ML repository by adopting performance analysis. Furthermore, the experimental outcomes indicate that the proposed method provides more accurate results according to the base learner approaches in terms of accuracy rates, an area under the curve (AUC), precision, recall, and F-measure values.
Determinants of the Financial Constraint and Its Effects on the SME Growth in Central Asia?
Authors:   Regional Institute of Central Asia, NIZAEVA Mirgul , COSKUN Ali ,   American University of the Middle East
Published: May 2021

This study investigates the firm- and country-specific factors that affect SMEs’ access to finance and the relationship between financial constraint and firm growth in emerging economies of Central Asia. To address the research questions, a two-stage empirical analysis including ordered probit, probit, and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) specifications were conducted. Firm-level data used in the analysis is obtained from the fifth round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Survey (BEEPS V) and country-level data acquired from national and international datasets. The study's findings implied that in the Central Asian economies, country-specific factors are more likely to affect access to external finance of SMEs than firm-specific determinants. Among firm-specific factors, only foreign ownership is significantly related to financing constraint perception of SMEs; where, the interest rate is positively, and domestic credit market, inflation, and log of GDP per capita are negatively related to financing constraint level. In Central Asia, an insignificant relationship between growth and financing constraints was found. The determinants of financing constraints and access to finance–growth relations, which address the issue of great significance for SME growth in the selected countries, were interpreted with region-specific factors.
Knowledge as a New Form of Law
Authors:   Institute of State and Law of the Russian, Bochkarev S. A.
Published: May 2021

Introduction: the article draws attention to the fact that the subject of philosophical and legal discussion no longer includes issues of deep order. Questions of the influence of disciplines on each other remain out of sight. Among those is the question of the lesson that philosophy teaches to law in the modern era. The search for an answer to this question points to the changing attitude of philosophy towards the phenomenon of knowledge. The cognitive aspect of the problem is related to the new understanding of the real meaning of knowledge, its extensiveness. Today philosophy declares and justifies the thesis of knowledge as a new form of being. Purpose: by testing the philosophical hypothesis, to establish that knowledge has always taken place but as a form of being it was long in the shadow of consciousness. In the new reality, knowledge transformed into the dominant format. Methods: comparative and historical analysis. Results: the study confirmed both the validity of the philosophical approach to knowledge as a form of being and the claim of this phenomenon to the status of a new form of law. Knowledge exists in three key and inextricably interrelated hypostases: as an object of evolution of public consciousness; as a result of concrete historical development; as an object of everyday life, when legal knowledge about an incident is developed ‘here and now’ by participants in legal proceedings.
Prospective genetic gain to improve salinity tolerance in a population of Panicum coloratum var. coloratum with two different selection methods
Authors: Pittaro Gabriela , Lifschitz Mauro , Sánchez Miguel , Bustos Dolores , Otondo José , Tomás María Andrea
Published: May 2021

Panicum coloratum var. coloratum is a subtropical grass for potentially increasing forage production in lowly productive environments where cattle-raising activities have been relocated. Heritability was estimated for characters related to salinity tolerance under saline and non-saline conditions to explore the possibility of improving tolerance by selection. From a base germplasm collected in a very harsh environment, heritability and gain after selection were calculated using 2 recombination units: individual and phenotypic family mean (PFM). Heritability estimates were very low for all characters both in saline and non-saline conditions, suggesting a complex genetic control of salinity tolerance, with a high proportion of non-additive genetic effects. Estimates were higher using individual selection than with PFM and expected genetic gains were higher for individual selection. When compared in both saline and non-saline conditions, predicted means were greater than for plants of cv. Klein, the most common cultivar in use. It appears that the analyzed germplasm would be a valuable source of genes to be included in breeding programs to increase salinity tolerance in Panicum coloratum.

Published: May 2021

Timing of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application can influence grass regrowth, so it is important to identify how tropical grasses respond to delays in applying fertilizer after defoliation. Our objective was to identify the effects of timing of N fertilizer application after harvest on the productive, morphogenic and structural characteristics of 3 tropical grasses: ‘Xaraés’ (Urochloa brizantha [Hochst. ex A. Rich.] Stapf cv. Xaraés), ‘Marandu’ (Urochloa brizantha [Hochst. ex A. Rich.] Stapf cv. Marandu) and ‘Tanzânia’ (Megathyrsus maximus [Jacq.] cv. Tanzânia). The experiments were performed in a greenhouse, in a completely randomized design, with 5 delays in applying N after harvesting (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days). Delaying fertilizer application did not affect the forage mass of Xaraés and Marandu palisade grass (7.4 and 7.8 g/pot, respectively). There was a linear decrease in number of leaves per tiller and leaf appearance rate, but tiller population density and phyllochron increased linearly as fertilizer application was delayed. Grass forage mass (12.2‒10.6 g/pot), number of leaves per tiller (3.1‒2.6 leaves/tiller) and forage accumulation rate (0.47 to 0.41 g DM/d) of Tanzânia guinea decreased linearly as N application was delayed, but tiller population density was unaffected (25 tillers/pot). Based on our results, N fertilizer should be applied to Tanzânia guinea grass pastures as soon as possible after harvest and certainly before 3 days, while there is not the same urgency with Xaraés and Marandu where fertilization could be delayed up to 12 days without significant detriment. These suggestions need to be tested in a field study before being recommended widely.
Studies with Urochloa brizantha cv. MG5 Vitória in Okinawa, Japan: Vegetative propagation and a tractor tyre stress test
Authors: Hanagasaki Takashi
Published: May 2021

Feeding of high quality grass is critical to ensure breeding cows remain healthy with high reproductive rates and growing and fattening cattle achieve good growth rates. The Brazilian grass cultivar, Urochloa brizantha cv. MG5 Vitória, is highly nutritious and is known for its drought tolerance. In view of its low seed production potential in subtropical Japan and of phytosanitary problems (contamination with soil particles) of imported seed, a study was conducted in Okinawa to assess 2 methods of propagating this cultivar vegetatively. Cutting stems (culms) at about 10 cm from ground level and inserting them 3 cm into a 50:50 compost:soil mixture produced a 77% success rate in terms of rooted plantlets in a glasshouse compared with 67% for cutting the culm at 3 nodes from the base, subsequently allowing 2 weeks for adventitious roots to form on the lowest node, then cutting below the node where roots emerged and planting the rooted propagule in the same mixture. It seems that the simple process of cutting stems at about 10 cm from ground level and inserting them into a suitable mixture of soil and compost should result in an acceptable yield of plantlets for establishment of an MG5 forage crop. However, locating a source of high-quality seed free of phytosanitary problems seed would seem to be a better solution to increase the areas in Okinawa planted to MG5.In the tractor tyre stress trial conducted over 2 years, an MG5 forage crop established from seed showed depressed yields on the treatment subjected to tractor tyre pressure but performed as well as Chloris gayana, a much-used forage grass in Okinawa.

Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of a cross-cultural Self-concept study of the peoples living in Yakutia. The research is carried out in line with the social psychology of the individual. The author is interested in the self-perception of the individual in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity. The study was conducted in a multi-ethnic region - the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The article presents the results of cross-cultural analysis of Russian and indigenous peoples of Yakutia. The hypothesis is tested that the common history and living conditions determine the formation of common contact points at the personal level. Here the author perceives the personality from the point of view of L. S. Vygotsky's cultural-historical approach, according to which the personality is a product of cultural-historical development. The study sample consists of 697 people from 12 to 79 years (479 women and 218 men). Of these, 111 are Russians, and 586 are representatives of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia. The method of research is the "Who Am I?" method of M. Kuhn and T. MсPartland. Taking into account the specifics of the research object, the author added two categories of Self-concept, such as racial identity and identity with the natural world. The results of the study were processed using statistical Mann-Whitney criteria, student t-criteria, content analysis, and ranking. The study was conducted throughout Yakutia. The instructions were presented in Russian and Yakut. The study revealed that the Self concept of the Russian and indigenous peoples of Yakutia have both common and different features. Common characteristics are a high level of reflec-tion, statistically significant similarity of important Self concept characteristics: reflexive Self, emotional Self, communicative Self, and the lack of regional identity in both groups. The common most frequently mentioned characteristics are the following: hardworking, kind, smart, cheerful, purposeful, hardy, and sociable. The distinctive features of Self concept reflect the uniqueness of the national character of the compared peoples. For Russians, this is largesse and sincerity. For indigenous peoples, honesty, pitying, and modesty are used for psycholinguistic analysis of the meaning of words. Honesty is also perceived as straightfor-wardness, modesty as a manifestation of emotions and actions of a person in moderation. It was also revealed that the family identity of indigenous peoples is more significant in the Self concept than in Russians. The conclusion is made about the importance of having both common and unique features for multi ethnic Russia.
Space Modeling of Problem Solving Strategies of “Prisoner's Dilemma”
Authors:   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), Balanev D.J.
Published: May 2021

An iterated version of the game "Prisoner's Dilemma" is used as a model of cooperation largely due to the wide range of strategies that the subjects can use. The problem of the effec-tiveness of strategies for solving the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD) is most often considered from the point of view of information models, where strategies do not take into account the relationship that arise when real people play. Some of these strategies are obvious, others depend upon social context. In our paper, we use one of the promising directions in the development of studying IPD strategies – the use of artificial neural networks. We use neural networks as a modeling tool and as a part of game environment. The main goal of our work is to build an information model that predicts the behavior of an individual person as well as group of people in the situation of solving of social dilemma. It takes into account social relationship, including those caused by experimental influence, gender differences, and individual differences in the strategy for solving cognitive tasks. The model demonstrates the transition of individual actions into socially determined behavior. Evaluation of the effect of socialization associated with the procedure of the game provides additional information about the effectiveness and characteristics of the experimental impact.The paper defines the minimum unit of analysis of the IPD player's strategy in a group, the identity with which can be considered as a variable. It discusses the influence of the experi-mentally formed group identity on the change of preferred strategies in social dilemmas. We use the possibilities of neural networks as means of categorizing the results of the prisoner's iterative dilemma in terms of the strategy applied by the player, as well as social factors. We define the patterns of changes in the IPD player's strategy before and after socialization are determined. The paper discusses the questions of real player's inclination to use IPD solution strategies in their pure form or to use the same strategy before and after experimental inter-ventions related to social identity formation. It is shown that experimentally induced socialization can be considered as a mechanism for increasing the degree of certainty in the choice of strategies when solving IPD task. It is found out that the models based on neural networks turn out to be more efficient after experi-mentally evoked social identity in a group of 6 people; and the models based on neural net-works are least effective in the case of predicting a subject's belonging to a gender group. When solving IPD problems by real people, it turns out to be possible to talk about generalized strategies that take into account not only the evolutionary properties of «pure» strategies, but also reflect various social factors.
Trends and Prospects of Using Brain-Computer Interfaces in Education
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University (Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation), Gnedykh D.S.
Published: May 2021

The relevance of the brain-computer interfaces (BCI) implementation in the field of edu-cation is conditioned by the realization of long-life and individualized learning concepts, as well as the requirement of effective and affordable automated learning systems. The article presents the analysis of studies on BCI usage in the educational process, in order to systema-tize the evidence, identify emerging trends and determine the difficulties and prospects of their applications in education. Nowadays, two main directions of BCI application for the purpose of training quality im-provement are revealed. In the first direction, the researchers’ attention is focused on psycho-physiology, meaning the identification of student’s current state characteristics and its timely correction with the teacher’s help (or self-correction). The second one emphasizes the peda-gogical aspect of BCI usage, such as monitoring the student’s cognitive activity in the process of course content perception to determine the most optimal parameters and conditions of its presentation. In the first case, the change of a student’s state or activity is emphasized, in the second one the changes relate to correction of learning content and its delivery. Among the main difficulties of using BCI in education are the following: problems with the equipment of modern BCI systems, the lack of clear classifications of neurophysiological correlates of various mental phenomena, the difficulty of consideration and differentiation of all the factors affecting a user during his interaction with BCI in natural environment. The prospects of BCI usage in learning are proposed: 1. Prediction of learning activity productivity; 2. Development of students’ self-control in the educational process; 3. Real-time identification of cognitive and affective students’ states in learning certain subjects (mathematics, physics, computer science, etc.); 4. Assessment of the impact of electronic learning tools on the process of information acquisition; 5. Monitoring the dynamics of cognitive activity intensity in students while solving dif-ferent learning tasks; 6. Identification of the available amount of information for its successful processing at the neurophysiological level to optimize the delivery of learning materials.

The article discusses and empirically studies the influence of identity on the level of extremist attitudes formation among the representatives of different age groups, taking into account the results of linguistic analysis. The significance of studying the determinants of extremism is stated and discussed. The modern theories of extremist behavior are analyzed. The contemporary points of view on the motivation of extremist actions are determined and compared; the characteristics of the extremist motive and its content are described. The social, economic and psychological reasons that stand behind extremism are described. The direc-tions and areas of psychological research of extremist attitudes are considered. The role of identity in the formation of extremist attitudes is noted, the need for an empirical study of various aspects of identity in order to identify the level of radicalization is substantiated. The article describes the procedure of empirical research of extremist attitudes based on a sampling of different age groups (n = 950). We establish the influence of such parameter as certainty of identity on fanatic and nationalistic attitudes. During the research we used self-reporting methods. Statistical analysis is performed using descriptive statistics methods, such as ANOVA, MANOVA. We also describe the results of the linguistic and cognitive analysis of the addresser's identity representation and his ideas about the identity of the addressee in multicode conflict-provoking texts in correlation with the empirical research data. The results of statistical analysis show specific differences in the determination of extremist attitudes and views by the identity. It was defined that the uncertainty of identity contributes to the formation of fanatical attitudes, potentially influencing the development of religious extremism. The results of self- and social identity on creating nationalist attitude differ a lot. The research reveals specific features of creating fanatical mindset at various age periods, as well as its adjacency with social identification. Constructing a certain social identity, as evidenced by our results, leads to an increase in fanatical attitudes from low to average level.
THE IDEA OF COMPROMISE IN THE RUSSIAN CRIMINAL PROCESS AS A MEANING OF COURT ACTIVITY OF CRIME
Authors:   Chuvash State University (Cheboksary, Russian Federation), Markelov Alexander G.
Published: May 2021

The article proposes an original approach that explains the obvious ideological nature of the use of compromise technologies on certain alternative procedures of the Russian criminal process and is considered as an applied tool for combating crime. Such proposals occur against the background of an obvious trend of humanization of punishment and exemption from criminal responsibility of certain categories of persons. The author claims justifiably that new prospectiveand at the same time conflict-free (compromise) forms of criminal procedure for the rapid resolution of criminal cases have been created in the Russian criminal process.At the same time, the author believes that one of the most important advantages of the use of compromise technologies, provided that there are no aggravating circumstances, is the ability to resolve the criminal-law conflict between the parties concerned quickly and create a favorable environment of reciprocity and understanding. The author believes that the idea of compromise as a certain measure of combating crime has already been implemented in modern procedural algorithms for resolving criminal cases through reduced criminal proceedings in the form of an inquiry, specific (compromise) proce-dures in the form of: the court making a final decision on a criminal case with the consent of the accused with the charge brought by the investigating authorities; the court making a final decision on a criminal case when concluding a pre-trial agreement on cooperation (a deal with justice); proceedings in a criminal case on the appointment of criminal-law measures in the form of a court fine when a person is exempt from criminal liability; a termination of the criminal case and criminal prosecution against the suspect or accused in conjunction with the reconciliation of the parties, a termination of criminal prosecution against the suspect or accused in conjunction with active repentance, a termination of criminal prosecution against the suspect or accused in cases of crimes in the field of economic activity, the election of certain preventive measures and the conduct of the individual investigative actions under the individual compromise circumstances. The author believes that the construction of a legal model of criminal procedure compro-mise as a measure to counter modern crime will contribute to the optimization of the Russian criminal proceedings in the interests of the individual, society and the state as a whole. The work proposes the justification of a new scientific direction - the criminal procedure concept of using compromise - and the prospects for its application in scientific research and practical activities to counter modern crime.

The method of applying drought stress in the small soil-filled containers for relatively small plants. The described method is working well for Arabidopsis, tomato and cowpea, but does require quite high time commitment in the manual setting, as it relies on daily monitoring of the pot weight and adjustment of the target weight by manual watering. Alternatively - the method can be also used for imposing the salt stress treatment - by growing the plants at 50% Water Holding Capacity, and subsequently immersing the pots in 200 mM NaCl / 0 mM NaCl for final treatment of 100 mM NaCl / Control treatment respectively.

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Faecal incontinence as a result of chronic functional constipation is a common problem among children. This condition is socially unacceptable. There is no clear consensus of a universally accepted pathogenesis, diagnostics, and optimal treatment for this condition. New methods of surgical treatment are necessary for accelerated normalization of the retaining faeces process and resolution of faecal incontinence in children.
THE AIM: The study was aimed to analyze the efficiency of the new minimally invasive surgery method of the anal sphincter complex restoring with autologous fat injection in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The examined group included 31 patients aged from 4 to 17. The patients had chronic constipation combined with faecal incontinence more than once per week. All of them had no lesions of the anal sphincter and pelvic floor muscles. All patients underwent outpatient and inpatient treatment from 2016 to 2019. Patients underwent computed tomographic colonography with virtual colonoscopy in addition to general clinical methods, ultrasound and irrigoscopy. Minimally invasive surgery with autologous fat injection was performed to correct anorectal angle in the following conditions: ineffective nonsurgical treatment for 4-6 months, lengthening of puborectalis muscles, increasing of the anorectal angle more than 100 degrees.
RESULTS: We analyzed the complaints of the patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery. The study showed reducing of symptoms severity of chronic constipation up to complete normalization of defecation frequency after surgery (34.5%) in 3 months. The study also showed the complete absence of fecal incontinence in 3 months after this minimally invasive treatment in 83 per cent of children.
CONCLUSION: The retrorectal injection of autologous fat leads to fast resolution of faecal incontinence, normalization of defecation frequency and improvement of the life quality as a result.
Impaired fertility and sexual function in patients with anorectal malformations
Authors: Pimenova Evgeniya S. , Korolev Grigoriy A. , Romanova Olga E.
Published: May 2021

The review discusses sexual dysfunction and fertility problems in patients with anorectal malformations. Fertility problems in patients with rectal and pelvic abnormalities can develop against the background of concomitant genital malformations and after surgical interventions. Boys often have rectovesical or rectoteurethral (prostatic and bulbar) fistulas. In girls, anorectal malformations may be combined with vaginal atresia and uterine abnormalities leading to impossibility of pregnancy in the future. Psychological aspects have a large effect on sexual dysfunction. Poor results, such as fecal and urine incontinence, have direct influences on social adaptation. In assessing long-term results, multicenter studies have found that, at puberty, one-third of women and 10% of men had problems with their sexual function because of low self-esteem and impaired social adjustment. Anorectal malformations are not current problems in pediatric surgery. Patients need an interdisciplinary, personalized approach that includes timely diagnosis and surgical correction of defects, as well as detection and correction of disorders of anatomy of pelvic organs and internal and external genitalia.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the levels of irisin in the heart, which is a vital organ, in rats of different ages and to reveal whether Ferula elaeochytris (FE) has an effect on the expression of the irisin.

Materials and Methods: Our study was designed in six groups, young (4 months), middle age (12 months), old (24 months) rats which were given FE extract for 8 weeks and their control groups. After that their heart tissues were taken and irisin levels were measured by immunohistochemical staining method.

Results: The obtained results were analyzed by performing histoscoring. It was observed that the level of irisin in old rats was statistically significantly lower in young and middle age rats. In addition, irisin level of in all groups administered with FE extract was found significantly increased.

Conclusion: FE extract increases the level of irisin through other pathways besides its protective effect against tissue damage.

The regular practice of physical exercise is extraordinarily effective in the management of a growing number of chronic diseases, some of them with a prevalence of pandemic magnitude, for which the society must assume the incorporation of physical activity as a health strategy to prevent and to serve as a complementary treatment of the disease. Not only medicine and physiotherapy play a fundamental role in the management of exercise for health but also, outside of health, Sports science and physical education degree is crucial in this field of work. From a health point of view, medicine and physiotherapy have a primary role in the management of exercise for health and also, outside of health, sports science and physical education degree occupy a very prominent role in the promotion and implementation of strategies for the promotion of health. These professions have been occupying a position in addressing this problem that, on some occasions, has led to points of friction with respect to their role, responsibilities and function. On the other hand, there is a need to resolve the question of the professions’ areas of competence while maintaining the will to simultaneously recognize the growing areas of competence shared interprofessionally and the highly relevant areas specific to each profession. This document is based on the need to address the incorporation of exercise in the prevention and management of disease in a solid and consistent way, considering the contribution of the professions involved from the perspective of multidisciplinary work and with a non-conflictual but cooperative, transparent and respectful collaboration. In addition, this collaboration should always aim at serving society in the most effective way possible, clearly defining the professional attributions of medicine, physiotherapy and physical activity and sport sciences in everything related to the use of exercise as a tool for health.
