Aim. To study the status of provision of planned and urgent care to patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in round-the-clock urological hospitals of the Ryazan region in recent 5 years. Materials and Methods. Statistical processing of the data for 2015-2020 obtained from medical statistics services of urological hospitals of Ryazan was performed. The following parameters were studied: the average age of patients who turned to emergency room with the diagnosis of acute retention of urine; the amount of surgical interventions (cystectomies) per months and years of the reporting period: open adenomectomy (in the following modifications: transvesical ade-nomectomy, retropubic adenomectomy), transurethral resection of prostate. Results. A high amount of referral of patients with BPH with clinical symptoms of acute reten-tion of urine was identified. The quantity and the share of palliative surgeries in the structure of patients with BPH stays at a high level. A tendency to growth in the amount of minimally inva-sive operations in surgical treatment for BPH is noted. Conclusion. The analysis of statistical data indicates the need for improvement of the quality of dispensary observation of patients with BPH, and improvement of methods of minimally inva-sive surgical treatment of BPH.

The deep femoral artery is a large branch of the common femoral artery that is of much interest for vascular and endovascular surgeons due to the role it plays in collateral circulation between the vessels of the small pelvis and arteries of the popliteal-tibial segment. In most cases, the deep femoral artery branches off from the posterolateral or posterior surface of the common femoral artery. At the same time, anomalies of development of the deep femoral vessels may become the cause for iatrogenic damages in implementation of the open or endovascular interventions. In the article, a clinical case of a patient referred for a planned ultrasound examination of vessels of the lower limbs before angiographic examination of the vessels of the heart and of the lower limbs, is described that revealed atypical topography of branching of the two trunks of the deep femoral artery from the common femoral artery. The upper trunk of the deep femoral artery branched off from the anteromedial surface of the common femoral artery and in the initial part was positioned above the common femoral vein. The lower trunk of the deep femoral artery sepa-rated from the anterolateral surface of the common femoral artery. Preoperative identification of the variant anatomy of the vessels of the femoral triangle permitted to perform angiographic examination of the coronary vessels through the femoral artery on the contralateral limb without complications.

In this article, patients’ problems in the rehabilitation period after reconstructive operations on the soft tissues of the oral cavity are analyzed. The performed manipulations are associated with neg-ative emotions of a person, complicating the establishment of trusting relationship with a doctor, which ultimately can affect a course of the wound process in the postoperative period. The doc-tor’s ability to convince a patient and set him to a positive solution to problems plays an im-portant role in the emotional discharge at the stages of surgical treatment and after it. The speci-ficity of the patients of a dental surgeon is based on the conflicting desire to have a beautiful smile and an agreement to surgical treatment. The decisive element is the relationship established between a doctor and a patient on a clinical visit. These relationships ultimately determine the result of the treatment. Any damage to the oral mucosa will cause pain syndrome of different severity, making the patient suffer. Keeping the patient’s psychological health in balance is a rather complex and important step that improves the quality of life. In the process of rehabilitation, one should not exclude the involvement of clinical psychologists to reduce emotional stress. It is important to create special rooms in dental clinics for psychological consulting, taking patients out of stress, emotional discharge and correction of the emotional state. Further search for new stress-protective agents and methods available for use by a dentist himself is a promising direction in the rehabilitation of patients after reconstructive operations on the soft tissues of the oral cavity.
MODERN VIEWS ON ROLE OF VITAMIN D IN PATHOGENESIS OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN CHILDREN
Authors:   Ryazan State Medical University, Belykh N.A. , Piznyur I.V. ,   Ryazan State Medical University
Published: January 2021

Bronchial asthma (BA) is a common disease of airways in children characterized by chronic inflammation, as well as respiratory symptoms varying in time and intensity. In recent years, an increase in the prevalence of BA has been seen, both among the adult and children’s population. The current trend stimulates scientists to continue studying the probable influence of various factors on this process, including the role of micronutrient deficiency, especially antioxidants, methylene donors and vitamin D (VD). Hypovitaminosis D has been considered as a provoking factor affecting the pathogenesis of various pathological processes. The results of numerous studies confirm the opinion that VD affects the intensity of inflammation, reducing the produc-tion of proinflammatory cytokines and secretion of mucus, and stimulates the secretion of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10. VD-regulated genes encode the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides that provide protection against bacteria and viruses provoking BA exacerbations. The article discusses the role of tissue growth factor (TGF-β) as an initiator of fibrosis in the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract through the activation of epithelial mesenchymal transition signals, and also discusses the inhibitory effect of VD on the processes of airway remodeling in BA. To-day it is known that VD can inhibit the progression of pulmonary fibrosis in various ways, in-cluding suppression of the expression of TGF, inhibition of the motility of epithelial cells induced by TGF-β, reduction of the excessive activation of RAS (antifibrotic effect), increase in the level of TGF antagonist. Separately, the issue of the possible strengthening of the antioxidant defense of the body in BA is considered through optimization of the supply of the organism with VD. Conclusion. Thus, taking into account the fact that to date, the results of clinical studies of the use of VD in the treatment of BA gave conflicting results, additional studies are needed to address controversial issues regarding the role of VD deficiency in the pathogenesis of BA and its control. Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying the airway remodeling will help develop a set of measures aimed at minimizing the risk of structural changes in AD.

Published: January 2021

The article described the study of the relevance of the role and place of religious contents among young people in the postconflict areas of the South of Russia, the rate of experiences of mythological fear had been explored with the help of the survey, as well as individual psychological characteristics of subjects had been studied by methods of Eysenck, Schmieschek, J. Rotter and Taylor. Those representatives of the surveyed youth sample experiencing a high level of mythological fear could fall into the danger zone of initiation in the group of non-traditional religious sects, as well as come under extremists’ influence, since manipulation of consciousness and human behavior, depending on individual psychological characteristics and by using of mythological content, such as fear of possession by jinni, is most effective. The study was attended by representatives of Islam at the age of 19-21, divided by gender: 100 young men and 100 girls. The study was aimed at identifying individual personality characteristics of temperament, character accentuations, locus of control, the level of personal anxiety and the results of a content analysis of the survey done by the author of the article were identified in accordance with five scales. Results of the study revealed that about 80% of subjects experiencing a high level of mythological fears had the same peculiar correlation indices. In connection with the results of research, we had worked out and suggested a complex of psycho-pedagogical support consisting of four modules for the purpose of education, preventive and corrective activities with young people experiencing a high level of mythological fear (fear of possession by jinni).
OPTIMAL VIEWING POSITION OF PARTIALLY CONNECTED AND UNCONNECTED WORDS IN ARABIC
Authors: Ganayim Deia
Published: January 2021

In order to assess the unique reading processes in Arabic, given its unique orthographic nature of natural inherent variations of inter-letter spacing, the current study examined the extent and influence of connectedness disparity during single word recognition using the optimal viewing position (OVP) paradigm. The initial word viewing position was systematically manipulated by shifting words horizontally relative to an imposed initial viewing position. However, unlike previous research, partially connected/unconnected three-, four- and five-letter Arabic words were displayed in the left and right visual hemifields at all possible locations of letter fixation. It was found that OVP effects occurred during the processing of isolated Arabic words. No OVP was found in three-letter words; for four- and five-letter words, the OVP effect appeared as a U-shaped curve with a minimum towards the second and third letters. Thus, the OVP effects generalize across structurally different alphabetic scripts. Furthermore, a perceptual superiority was found for words with right-positioned unconnected sub-units as compared to left positioned unconnected sub-units because of the differential sensitivity of the hemispheres to the gestalt form of letters. Such findings support the established view that the LH specializes in word recognition for alphabetic languages.

Published: January 2021

Faculties should ensure integration of science and teaching: science that constantly evolves following the changes in scientific thought and teaching that incorporates these changes in their own organization. So there is a need of including the students, who are prepare for teachers, in the process of pedagogical experience during their study. Pedagogical experience is a completed with a pedagogical practice and hospitation on one side and theoretical knowledge on the other side. Pedagogical experience is a kind of activities that students are involved in the educational process. Considering the importance of these activities, we made a research to determine the effects of pedagogical experience of students in the fourth year of studies at the Pedagogical Faculty in Skopje. This research is guided by two assumptions: 1. Pedagogical experience as an integral part of studies has positive effects on the quality of initial teacher education and educators; 2. The organization of pedagogical internship does not fully satisfy the educational-applicative needs of students and objectives of the internship.During the survey, we have found that the students have good theoretical knowledge about the educational process and are successful in selecting topics for discussion with the competent persons in institutions. But they are not initiative enough and they are not sufficiently active in the process that have no direct obligation to implement and to record. Because of that, students have to be well prepared and instructed for all activities through the practice that will relate to their overall engagement as teachers.It shows that there is a necessity to redefine the structure, objectives, content and organization of the internship.

Nowadays, software is very influential on various sectors of life, both to solve business needs, as well as personal needs. To have a Software with high quality, testing is needed to avoid software defect. Research on software defects involving Machine Learning is currently being carried out by many researchers. This method contains one important step, which is called feature selection. In this study, researchers conducted a feature selection based on the software metric category to determine the level of accuracy of the prediction of software defects by utilizing 13 (thirteen) datasets from NASA MDP namely CM1, JM1, KC1, KC3, KC4, MC1, MC2, MW1, PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, and PC5. To classify, the researchers involved 5 (five) classifiers, namely Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, Random Forests, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Support Vector Machines. The research result shows that each attribure on software metric categories has effect on each dataset. Naive Bayes Algorithm and Random Forest Algorithm can give better performance than other algorithm in classifieng software defect with feature selection based on metrics. On the other hand, the best metrics category on each classifier algorithm is metric Misc. From average AUC value, it can be concluded that metrics category which can give best performance is metric LoC, followed by metric Misc. Both categories have achieved highest AUC value in Random Forest classifier.

Published: January 2021

The research attempted to explain the truth of the assumptions and accusations of some Muslims against the Covid-19 pandemic as a global conspiracy and to refute weak views and arguments related to it. This research applied descriptive qualitative methods using sociological, historical and heuristic approaches. The results showed that the existence of the Covid-19 pandemic as a disease was real, and not a conspiracy issue. The perceptions, arguments and understanding of some Muslims stating that the Covid-19 pandemic was a conspiracy had the potential effect to cause damage the life order as a state and society. In addition, if this understanding was not directed according to the correct Islamic guidance, it was worried that it would have a negative impact on the brotherhood and unity of Muslims. Some baseless assumptions and arguments regarding this epidemic can be answered, refuted and explained with strong and real arguments and evidence based on the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, valid narrations, and historical records of Muslims.

Published: January 2021

Religion was regarded as a source of prejudice against others who are different, even a source of hatred. In fact, as complex teachings, religions had opposite role, reducing prejudice. This study attempted to find religious values that can be useful for prejudice reduction. With a qualitative method, religious values reducing prejudice were explored from five religions, namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Christianity and Islam. Data were collected through studying religious texts, both from the main sources and the works of religious leaders. The finding found that all religions had fundamental values that could reduce prejudice. These values generally were in the form of respect for diversity, prohibition of acting unfairly, and prohibiting acts of violence. This finding was expected to refute the assumption that religion was a source of prejudice, hatred and horizontal conflict.

Published: January 2021

Objectives: Imbalance of great toe musculature has been identified as a factor in the development of hallux valgus. The musculoaponeurotic architecture, an important determinant of function, has not been investigated volumetrically in the great toe musculature. The purpose of this study was to reconstruct the abductor halluces (ABDH), adductor halluces (ADH), flexor hallucis brevis medial (FHBM) and lateral (FHBL) heads volumetrically and to quantify and compare their architectural parameters and functional characteristics. Methods: Ten formalin-embalmed specimens were dissected, digitized and modelled (Autodesk Maya®). Fiber bundle length (FBL) and physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) of the muscles were compared using descriptive and parametric statistics. Results: The spatial arrangement of aponeuroses (AP) / fiber bundles (FB) and architectural parameters varied throughout the volume of each muscle. The PCSA of the medial (ABDH/FHBM) and lateral (ADH/FHBL) musculature was similar; however, the medial musculature had significantly greater mean FBL. Conclusion: Each muscle had varying AP/FB arrangement. The similar PCSA of the medial and lateral musculature suggests that their relative force generating capabilities are balanced in asymptomatic individuals.

Authors: Alghamdi Saleh B.
Published: January 2021

Multiple drug resistance in microorganisms has impersonated critical vulnerability to existing antibiotics; hence substitutes/or options to encounter resistant pathogenic microbes are desirable. Our focus in this study was the synthesis and characterization of Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nano-bricks and to explore them in terms of their antimicrobial potential. MoO3 nano-bricks were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method using (NH4)6Mo7O24⋅4H2O precursor and calcination at 500 °C for 2 h. The synthesized MoO3 nano-bricks determined antibacterial activity against four bacterial isolates and one fungal isolate. The MoO3 bricks were characterized using standard physicochemical characterization viz. XRD, SEM, FTIR, and EDX. In the present investigation, characteristic antibacterial properties of MoO3 nano-bricks against Gram +ve (S. aureus ATCC 29213 and S. epidermidis ATCC 12228) and Gram -ve (E. coli ATCC 35218 and K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603) bacteria is noted. The antifungal activity was tested using C. albicans ATCC 10231 as model organism. Molybdenum oxides generate acidic medium and demonstrated potent antimicrobial action for various pathogenic bacterial strains causing infections. The MoO3 nano-bricks depicted broad spectrum antimicrobial potential which strongly recommends their use as material of choice as potential antimicrobial material to be used in food industry, water purification, textile industry etc.

Authors: Zare A. , Iqbal M.T.
Published: January 2021

Designing control strategies to connect a photovoltaic (PV) system to the grid has been significantly challenging. This paper focuses on developing a controller for a single-phase PV system connected to the grid and its implementation to modify the power factor in the distribution power system. To design a grid-connected PV system, its components are modeled, such as PV panels, Maximum Power Point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, the grid interface inverter with the appropriate filter, and the DC link capacitor. SIMULINK / MATLAB is used for simulation in this study. The proposed control strategy is designed to track the maximum power point of The PV panels and control the PV active and reactive output power. In this paper, the presented reactive power control provides the PV system with power factor correction (PFC) capability. The proposed technique for checking controller validity is tested, and the results prove that the proposed controller is good and provides the required performance.
A Decision Making in Selection of Bricks Using Multiple Attribute Decision Making Methods
Authors: Jain Satish Kumar
Published: January 2021

All building materials such as brick, cement, paint, lime, steel, glass, etc. of various brands with small variation in their specifications and cost are available in the markets of construction. It becomes very difficult for contractors, engineers, and owners to make right choice of materials logically to maintain good quality and minimum cost of the work. Improper choice may result in either bad quality or higher cost. Multiple Attribute Decision Making Methods are very helpful in selection of any material. These methods have been used largely in various fields of engineering for deciding best of available options. This paper presents an overview of Simple Additive Weighting Method (SAW), Weighted Product Method (WPM) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods which can be simply and successfully used for selection of bricks.
Using Cellular Automata as a Basis for Procedural Generation of Organic Cities
Authors: Temuçin Melek B. , Kocabaş İlker , Oğuz Kaya
Published: January 2021

Procedural content generation (PCG) methods are commonly employed in computer games, simulations, and other related industries. While these methods are used for levels, terrains, stories and missions, their usage for procedural city generation is relatively rare because cities are heterogeneous structures with different components such as roads, layouts and buildings that depend on and affect each other. Additionally, ancient cities grew organically to areas that are safe and to those that provide food and water. This resulted in cities that do not have apparent regular patterns, such as rectangular building blocks. We propose an approach that uses cellular automata (CA) that generates clusters of areas. The CA is repeated for each cluster to hierarchically create different levels of the city. This procedure creates an organic city layout with fractal properties. The layout specifies the building blocks, main roads, and foliage. We also present a set of methods that can transform this layout into a three-dimensional model of the city. The results are promising; cities can be created in under a minute with minimal required input, and the resulting virtual city looks organic, rather than an algorithmic layout that has repeating patterns.
New Paradigm of COVID-19 with Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Brief Review
Authors: Selvina .
Published: January 2021

The global threat of respiratory infectious diseases is constantly evolving among the world population. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a novel member of the respiratory virus causing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging disease characterized with pneumonia-like symptoms. Since it has been established as a worldwide pandemic, the cases of coronavirus infection are still growing and remain a global health concern. Meanwhile, tuberculosis also remains a great contributor to chronic respiratory communicable disease with cases still developing relentlessly. In a person manifested with chronic tuberculosis, co-infection of COVID-19 may occur and causes more severe clinical manifestations than tuberculosis single infection. On the other hand, it is also possible for people who have COVID-19 to be infected with new tuberculosis infection, especially if the individual lives in a developing country that tends to be tuberculosis endemic. Therefore, these two respiratory infections have become a worldwide double burden. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the new paradigm regarding these two worldwide emerging infectious diseases to provide a good understanding of their clinical aspects and to achieve the best possible future outcomes.
Odysseus Reborn: Parallelism between Odysseus and The Postmodern Man
Authors: Parwaiz Abdullah
Published: January 2021

The mythical character of Odysseus has been a recurring figure since his first introductions, in the Great Greek writer, Homer's works around 700 BCE, in the, 'Illiad', and, 'Odyssey'. He has been invoked over the ages to suit the means of the said eras, trans-morphing the character of the Classical Greek Hero to meet the desired ends of the poets, authors and periods. The aim of the paper is to deconstruct the works where he has been mentioned and thus in turn construct the character itself. This will be done through the famous works he has been mentioned in, such as Virgil's 'Aeneid', Dante's 'Inferno', Horkheimer and Adorno's 'Dialectic of the Enlightenment'. In doing so, the paper shall establish the grounds for Odysseus to come out as a character that suits all ages for a good reason. Furthermore, a Psychoanalytical analysis and study shall establish his relevance and stand in the Postmodern age that we live in, which shall aim to decentralise popular notions, moving away from the modernist experimentation towards the postmodern appreciation of the classical character as one, who at the true core had been formed with such intricacy that writers have been forced to adapt him in their works, time and again.

Perbatasan, Nelayan Dan Kemiskinan; Konstruk Kemiskinan Pada Wilayah Perbatasan Indonesia-Filipina
Authors: Macpal Sunandar
Published: January 2021

This paper intends to explain how the construct of poverty occurs in coastal communities and small islands on the Indonesia-Philippines border. This paper is a literature review that uses social exclusion as a basis for building discourse. Sangihe Regency is a coastal area located in Indonesia — the Philippines border region. As a coastal area, many people earn a living as fishermen. Poverty that occurs in the Sangihe region is a structural (state) consequence that makes the Sangihe region become a border. The policy to modernize fishermen as a step to reduce poverty actually eliminates many local traditions, including the duality of livelihoods. In addition, modernizing has also had impact on the loss of culture at the level of knowledge and language.
Menyoal Keterjalinan Orang Hidup dan Mati menurut Tradisi Batak dan Ajaran Huria Kristen Batak Protestan
Authors: Hasibuan Ricky Pramono , Simanungkalit Nixcon , Situmeang Nelson
Published: January 2021

This research aims to discuss the teachings of the Protestant Batak Christian Church (HKBP) and the Toba Batak about the relationship between the living and the dead. Batakness believes the dead still have a relationship with the living, while HKBP denies it. To reconcile these two doctrines, we will reinterpret “the communion of saints” phrase in the Apostolic Creed, which always presents as one of the main elements in the liturgy of HKBP. We argue that the “communion of saints” is an association of all believers, not only cross-geographical (trans spatial) but also cross-age (trans temporal). The relation of the living and the dead in the association is not direct but via Christ. Therefore, the trans temporality of the communion is evidence of the connectedness of the living and the dead.

Seiring dengan berkembang-pesatnya peradaban dunia abad 21, membuka peluang bagi Pendidikan IPS untuk melakukan reorientasi tujuan yang disesuaikan dengan tuntutan perkembangan jaman. Pendidikan IPS dianggap penting dan bermanfaat manakala memperhatikan kecenderung dunia, perkembangan sains dan teknologi namun tetap dilandasi dengan keimanan dan ketaqwaan serta berpegang teguh kepada Pancasila dan UUD 1945. Sumber belajar Pendidikan IPS perlu memasukan bahan dari kehidupan masyarakat yang sebenarnya (contextual learning). Bukan hanya berkenaan dengan fakta yang ada di masyarakat, melainkan juga berkenaan dengan dampak sains dan teknologi yang berpengaruh terhadap  tatanan kehidupan masyarakat setempat (lokal), nasional dan internasional. Strategi pembelajaran yang tepat untuk mencapai tujuan pembelajaran IPS adalah strategi yang bersifat dialogis kritis, pengalaman langsung (direct experiences), kolaboratif dan kooperatif. Strategi pembelajaran seperti ini menekankan pada tiga ranah pembelajaran, yakni: kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Berdasarkan prinsip kurikulum 2013, tujuan Pendidikan IPS harus dapat membekali peserta didik dengan kompetensi berimbang, yakni: (1) pengembangan kemampuan intelektual (pengetahuan); (2) pengembangan kemampuan kepribadian sebagai anggota masyarakat dan bangsa (sikap); dan (3) pengembangan kemampuan sosial (keterampilan). Reorientasi tujuan ini, menunjukkan Pendidikan IPS di era global tidak lagi sekedar membentuk warga negara yang baik (good citizenship), namun lebih luas lagi sesuai dengan perkembangan dan kebutuhan jaman sebagai desirable person qualities.
Pengarusutamaan Gender dalam Program Pembangunan

Many issues of gender inequality surrounding us still not yet seriously solved by all elements of society. Women have more experience in disadvantages rather than men in the fields of education, health, employment, having and using science and technology. As may be seen with the still frequently occur violence against women, trafficking of women and children, pornography, the employment of women as problems of migrant workers and migrant workers abroad, lower participation of women in politics, and in the field of education, especially at the senior high school and higher education. For solving that, efforts in eradicating gender discrimination and developing potency which can support gender equality must be conducted continuously. Despite Constitution of 1945 ensures equality between men and women in accessing the fields, but in application still faced by many obstacles, for instance culture of patriarchy still remained and perpetuated by most of Indonesian people. Therefore increasing the women’s role in gender-based development as integral part of national development, has important meaning as effort to realize harmonious equal partnership between men and women, which in other word, to realize gender equity and equality in various fields of life and development.
