JEDAN POGLED NA REŠAVANjE PROBLEMA SRPSKOG JEZIKA U DOBA TRANZICIJE
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Dragićević Rajna
Published: September 2022

The paper argues that the problems of the Serbian language in the time of transition can be solved at least partially by responsible actions of Serbian linguists within the disciplines they deal with. In conditions when other nations without any hesitation declare the Serbian tangible and intangible cultural heritage their own, Serbs can and must respond in only one way ‒ by writing capital works in which they will describe the Serbian language and provide future generations with material and evidence for an increasingly fierce struggle, whose goal will be to defend what belongs to the Serbian language and Serbian heritage. If we fail to do that, future generations will be forced to use other nations’ capital works, in which facts are often falsified.
DRŽAVNA (NE)BRIGA ZA SRPSKI JEZIK
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Filology and Art, Kovačević Miloš
Published: September 2022

The paper analyzes the attitude of the Republic of Serbia, i.e. of its (ir)responsible institutions towards the Serbian language based on the status of the Serbian language defined in three laws and one strategy, as follows: 1) Law on the Use of Serbian Language in Public Life and Protection and Preservation of the Cyrillic Script, 2) Law on the Official Use of Languages and Scripts, 3) Law on Gender Equality, and 4) National Strategy for Gender Equality 2021–2030, with an action plan for its implementation for the period of 2021‒2023. Only the first of these laws is in favour of the Serbian language. But it has more symbolic than practical value, as it is still inferior in key provisions to the current Law on the Official Use of Languages and Scripts. The analysis showed that the three documents, two laws and one strategy, are inconsistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia. But the current government does not think so, and the Constitutional Court did not state its position regarding the incompatibility of the documents with the Constitution. Both the Law on the Official Use of Languages and Scripts and the Law on Gender Equality are in fact laws against the Serbian language, as their provisions directly deny and/or undermine the Serbian language, especially as a Serbian identity criterion. The degradation does affect only the Serbian language; negative consequences of the National Strategy for Gender Equality have an effect on the entire Serbian educational system ‒ from preschool to higher education – as well as scientific research work in the field of humanities and social sciences.
SRPSKA KNjIŽEVNOST I NjENA ISTORIOGRAFIJA
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Pejčić Jovan
Published: September 2022

The paper examines the initial circle of historical coverage of Serbian literature from the oldest written testimonies to the middle of the 19th century. It is a period of seven decades. The formation of literary historiography among Serbs began, namely, with Dositej Obradović (1803) and ended with the History of Serbian Literature by Stojan Novaković (1871). It is about the movement of national historiographical thought from initial needs and ideas to the construction of a framework that transforms this concept into a science. On the one hand, the paper determines and describes the turning (decisive) points of the founding of Serbian literary historiography. On the other hand, certain personal moments that characterized its establishment and further development are presented. To that extent, research attention is focused first on the problem of transition, i.e. transformation of old Serbian literature into the new one, and then on traces and factors of extra-literary, ideological influence on the direction and outcomes of literary-historical and national-cultural endeavours of Lukijan Mušicki, Lazar Bojić, Jovan Subotić, Jovan Ristić, Stojan Novaković.
NARODNA KNjIŽEVNOST I IDENTITETSKE PROMENE U SRPSKOJ KNjIŽEVNOSTI
Authors:   University of Belgrade Faculty of Philology, Suvajdžić Boško
Published: September 2022

New approaches to oral literature in teaching bring to the fore the questions of classification and terminology, the phenomenon of authorship, the process of composing and tradition, the complexity of reception, the specificities of oral genres and their poetics. The terms ’oral formula’ and ’formulativity’ also stand out in these approaches as some of the most important elements of oral poetic grammar. In all of these researches focused on poetics, the identitary character of Serbian oral literature as “our classic, one and true” (Vasko Popa) should not be neglected, nor its specific roles in teaching and education: aesthetic, ethical, epistemological, cultural, educational functions.
POZICIJA SRPSKOG JEZIKA U ATLASU PSEUDOMITOLOGIJE SVETISLAVA BASARE
Authors:   University of Belgrade Faculty of Philology, Milanović Aleksandar
Published: September 2022

The paper analyzes Basara’s notions and tenets on the Serbian language as stated in the book Atlas pseudomitologije (The Atlas of Pseudo-mythology) published in 2018. The author finds Basara’s claims quite offhanded, ideologically distorted, and lacking grounds based on relevant references, thus most often, totally wrong. Basara mostly refers to the process and results of Vuk Karadžić’s language reform which he evaluates without any previous critical analysis.
OGLUŠENjE O SRPSKI JEZIK
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Šćepanović Mihailo
Published: September 2022

The paper is based on the analysis of the relationship between the history of standardization of the Serbian language and its, as Dragoljub Petrović would say, sprouts, among which the Montenegrin language also appears. The author shows here in what way, after 30 years of scientific interventions of Serbian linguists, the so-called Montenegrin language is represented as “endangered” in the Serbian scientific public by the Serbian and Montenegrin nationalists. The paper proves that this book would be more adequately titled Montenegrin language = nationalism

Study of the bacteria - encapsulating agent interaction in microencapsulation of probiotics
Authors:   , Viana Carolina Carvalho Ramos
Published: September 2022

An increasing number of microorganisms have been applied in the food industry, by incorporation in food products, in the development of probiotic ingredients and supplements, among others. This industrial use usually depends on preservation methods through dehydration, in order to ensure better metabolic activity. On the other hand, drying can cause loss of viability mainly due to cellular damage caused by this process. To avoid them, we can mention the use of microencapsulation, an important technique to improve bacterial stability during processing and application in food matrices. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to review the scientific literature on the microencapsulation of microorganisms, with a main focus on probiotics and the main encapsulating agents used by the lyophilization and spray dryer method. In this scenario, lactic acid bacteria stand out, which have been increasingly chosen in research and applications in food, especially in dairy products. Thus, in the first work, already published, a general review was carried out on microencapsulation of probiotic bacteria, focusing on spray drying and the main encapsulating agents cited in the literature for this encapsulation method. It was observed that in the literature the authors increasingly seek to optimize the production of dehydrated microbial cultures, which makes it necessary to know about the encapsulating materials and the main available and applicable methods. At the same time, they cite the need for more research, mainly to understand the protective effect, in order to guide the choice of conditions to be used in microencapsulation. Therefore, the second work brings a denser review of the literature, having as main focus the microencapsulation of lactic acid bacteria by lyophilization and spray dryer. In this article, the main hypotheses found in the literature about the negative effect of bacterial dehydration are discussed, as well as the protective action of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids used as encapsulating agents. To investigate the theories discussed, physicochemical analytical methods are suggested, in order to aid in the understanding of microencapsulation, together with microbiological methods already commonly used.Keywords: Microorganisms. Food. Viability. Drying. Spray dryer.

¿Son las pruebas nacionales un indicador válido para realizar comparaciones entre escuelas? Una aproximación mediante la evaluación diagnóstica de Media 2013
Authors: Morales Romero Daniel
Published: September 2022

En la presente investigación fueron comparadas las notas de los estudiantes de 8vo grado en las Pruebas Nacionales del año 2011 con la proporción de respuestas correctas que dieron los del mismo grado en la Evaluación Diagnóstica de Educación Media del 2013. Los de 8vo grado que obtuvieron mejores calificaciones, lo hicieron dando más respuestas correctas en una proporción de 3% a 11% en la evaluación del 2013.

Se encontró, además, que tanto las notas de la escuela como la de las Pruebas Nacionales predicen consistentemente el desempeño de los estudiantes en la evaluación diagnóstica, lo que resulta plausible en el sentido de que estas últimas puedan ser usadas como un indicador del desarrollo educativo de las escuelas, lo que permitirá realizar comparaciones entre ellas.
Inflation – Unemployment Dilemma. A Cross-Country Analysis
Authors: Popescu Cristian Constantin , Diaconu (Maxim) Laura
Published: September 2022

According to Phillips’ study, there is an inverse link between inflation and unemployment. The major consequence of these imbalances lies in authorities’ ability to correct one of them, usually the unemployment, by influencing the components of the aggregate demand. Phillips' opinion is later countered by Friedman’s principle of currency neutrality. Together with Phelps, Friedman argues that, in the long run, the Phillips curve is vertical and any attempt to lower the unemployment below the natural rate leads to a simultaneous rise in unemployment and inflation. This paper aims to analyze the impact of the economic policy measures on the evolution of inflation and unemployment in the G7 countries, starting from the monetary criticism regarding the inefficiency of monetary impulses. In order to achieve this purpose, the developed econometric analysis tries to identify the existence and the direction of the nexus between variables, both in the short and long term, by using causality and cointegration methods, such as Granger, Granger-Wald and Johansen tests. Our findings support Phillips model on the short run, indicating that there is an inverse link between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate in the G7 states, during the analyzed period. However, on the long run, our results indicate that inflation and unemployment can coexist, fact that allows us to agree with the monetarist theories.

A Review on the Effect of Zein in Scaffold for Bone Tissue Engineering
Authors: Subuki Istikamah , Nasir Khairun Nor Ashikin , Ramlee Nur Azrini
Published: September 2022

Natural pharmaceutical ingredients have been widely used in recent decades due to their safety and biocompatibility. Zein, a plant-derived natural protein, has several advantages over other synthetic polymers in bone tissue engineering (BTE). This study of zein protein focuses more on its application in BTE as potential biopolymer material used in scaffold development. The use of zein in BTE has shown its benefits in the production of scaffolds. Therefore, attention has been given to studies of the effect of zein usage in bone scaffold development, as it offers a great ability based on its porosity, mechanical strength, in vitro degradation study, cell proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, which is important for healing bone tissue damage. Therefore, this review aims to critically analyze the current research on the method of scaffold fabrication and the effect of zein usage in scaffolds for BTE. In addition, the common methods used in creating the scaffold are addressed.
População Economicamente Ativa E Chefes Familiares Imigrantes No Oeste Do PR – Impactos No Desenvolvimento Regional - Uma Análise Por Setores Da Economia
Authors: Rippel Ricardo , Limberger Rippel Valderice Cecília , Michelon Márcia Terezinha
Published: September 2022

O objetivo do artigo é o de examinar o cenário da imigração e do desenvolvimento do Oeste do Paraná via  reconcentração fundiária e qualificação educacional de 1950 até 2000. No trabalho analisa-se o perfil dos chefes de família imigrantes da área argumentando-se que inicialmente eram detentores de um perfil de baixa qualificação educacional. Porém com a modernização do campo, a urbanização e o fortalecimento dos setores secundário e terciário ocorreu na área um movimento de reconcentração fundiária e o oeste parananense passou a demandar mão-de-obra com nível educacional mais elevado. Houve assim uma ascenção na qualificação dos imigrantes, fundamentalmente fruto da redução das oportunidades  de inserção ocasionada pelo esgotamente da ocupação extensiva da região. De modo que, como os indivíduos migram quando e para onde vislumbram melhores oportunidades, e dado que as exigências de qualificação no Oeste do Paraná, se elevaram, os imigrantes pouco qualificados reduziram sua participação no processo de inserção na área aumentando proporcionalmente a participação dos chefes de família mais instruídos no total dos movimentos  fato que influiu diretamente no desenvolvimento regional.
UMA PERSPECTIVA DA GESTÃO DA SEGURANÇA E DA SAÚDE OCUPACIONAL NA PRODUÇÃO BRASILEIRA DE CAFÉ
Authors: Bliska Flávia Maria de Mello , Bliska Júnior Antonio , Barros Thaís Maria Santiago de Moraes
Published: September 2022

A agricultura é um dos setores mais perigosos aos trabalhadores, expostos a riscos físicos, químicos, biológicos, ergonômicos e sujeitos a acidentes. Devido à importância dos impactos sociais e econômicos dos problemas decorrentes da baixa adoção de medidas de Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho (SST) na produção agrícola e considerando-se que o segmento cafeeiro emprega quantidade significativa de mão de obra, este estudo identifica os pontos fracos da produção de café em relação às normas brasileiras de SST. Foram analisados 24 indicadores de gestão do agronegócio café relacionados à SST, por meio de 1030 questionários aplicados nas regiões produtoras brasileiras. Os principais pontos fracos são: baixa oferta de seguro de saúde aos colaboradores; baixo índice de planejamento quanto às atividades das empresas, incluindo análise de risco e melhorias no ambiente e condições de trabalho; baixa adoção de Código de Conduta e estímulo à sua aplicação na cadeia produtiva; e baixo índice de registros e protocolos de procedimentos das tecnologias, métodos e processos. São Paulo é o estado com os melhores níveis de adoção dos indicadores de SST; a Bahia apresenta os piores. Empresas com certificação agrícola apresentaram melhores resultados do que as demais. Ainda há muito a que ser melhorado na gestão do negócio do café, com relação à SST, independentemente da região, do tamanho da propriedade ou do número de trabalhadores.

A expansão da pecuária em Rondônia tem causado implicações econômicas, sociais e ambientais que evidenciam a urgência de um delineamento dessas consequências com vistas à identificação do impacto da criação bovina no Estado. Tal condição motiva o presente estudo a avaliar a distribuição espacial da pecuária e identificar os índices de produção nas microrregiões de Rondônia de2010 a2015, comparando a distribuição espacial e a expansão produtiva com o desmatamento. A pesquisa, que é qualitativa, descritiva e baseada na análise de documentos, identificou a microrregião de Ji-Paraná com o maior efetivo bovino, mas cresceu apenas 6,57%, e o maior crescimento 24,73% foi apresentado pela microrregião de Porto Velho, enquanto o menor rebanho está na microrregião de Guajará-Mirim. Quanto ao desmatamento, dados do INPE revelaram que se obteve o menor quantitativo em 2010, com 435 km² desmatados, enquanto em 2016 a área atingida mais que dobrou, atingindo 1030 km².
Economies of scale in Greek coastal shipping. A survivor analysis
Authors: Sitzimis Ioannis
Published: September 2022

Although Greek coastal shipping is a very important shipping industry, there are not a lot of scientific efforts calculating economies of scale and minimum optimal firm size in the past. In our opinion, Stigler’s survivor technique is the best-fitted method for researching these issues. It examines the configuration of companies’ sizes over time and argues that only the companies with the lowest long-term average costs will survive in a market. Methodologically, we divided coastal companies into size classes regarding the number of employees per company and the contribution of companies per size class to gross production value, gross added value, and revenue without vat. Then we checked the statistical significance of changes in market share distribution. The analysis led to the conclusion that economies of scale exist in Greek coastal shipping and the minimum firm size pertains to the employment of 20-49 employees or the operation of two ships per shipping company.
Analysis of Polarization Curves Under Mixed Activation-Diffusion Control: An Algorithm to Minimize Human Factors
Authors: van Ede Meeke C. , Angst Ueli
Published: September 2022

A substantial part of corrosion research relies on the analysis of polarization curves to obtain corrosion currents, Tafel slopes, and other parameters, such as exchange current densities. This, often manual, analysis remains highly subjective, which hampers the reproducibility of corrosion research and makes a comparison of reported Tafel slopes, corrosion rates, or exchange current densities from different literature sources difficult. One reason is that the analysis is strongly influenced by the selected range of the measured data. To improve this, we developed a Python library for the reliable analysis of polarization curves. A particular novelty is an algorithm designed to fit polarization curves under mixed activation-diffusion control, which is a situation often encountered in corrosion research. This algorithm reduces the subjectivity related to the measured or selected potential range. Moreover, the algorithm offers the possibility to diagnose and quantify the accuracy of the fit. We use experimentally measured polarization curves to test the proposed approach and show that for curves without a clear, purely activation-controlled Tafel region in the cathodic branch, accurate and consistent analysis is only possible by applying the mixed activation-diffusion control technique. Re-evaluation of literature data shows that by applying the library the variability in reported Tafel slopes can be greatly reduced. Thus, here the proposed approach and the related open-access Python library for the analysis of polarization curves may foster reproducibility and enhance the comparability of data measured in corrosion research.

Published: September 2022

The present study was carried out to examine the effect of daily intake of 20 × 109 CFU Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM or 10 g inulin or 10 g beta-glucan (β-glucan) or synbiotic on fasting blood lipid levels in healthy adult men and women with moderately raised total plasma cholesterol (TC). This study was a randomized-controlled intervention in which 30 participants received either 10 g inulin or 10 g β-glucan or 20 × 109 CFU L. acidophilus NCFM or synbiotic for a period of 8 weeks. Fasting blood samples were collected before the supplementation period (baseline) and at week 8, with a follow-up at week 12. There was a trend for TC values, compared with baseline, to be lower in the probiotic group by 9.31%, (−0.55 mmol/l; P > 0.05), inulin group by 9.58%, (−0.53 mmol/l; P > 0.05), and β-glucan group by 8.55%, (−0.47 mmol/l; P > 0.05) at week 8. There was a trend for LDL-C values, compared with baseline, to be lower in the probiotic group by 9.34% (−0.34 mmol/l; P > 0.05), inulin group by 7.98% (−0.29 mmol/l; P > 0.05), and β-glucan group by 16.08% (−0.41 mmol/l; P > 0.05) at week 8. The changes were statistically insignificant but clinically significant in all groups except synbiotic, as all levels fell into the desirable biochemistry range. There were no statistical and clinical changes in the TC and LDL-C levels in synbiotic groups. There were no statistical and clinical changes in the HDL-C and TG levels in all groups. These data suggest that the intervention supplementation except synbiotics may improve blood lipid profiles, mainly TC and LDL-C.
The utility of hematological indices in differentiation between general and focal onset epilepsy
Authors: Ibrahim Abdullah Mahmood  , Ahmed Tahseen Muslim  , Hussein Ghani Kaddoori
Published: September 2022

Introduction and Aim: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders with mainly focal and generalized onset types. Discrimination between these types is of paramount importance because the prescription of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) depends on such decimation. Currently this made mainly upon the medical history of the patient. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of hematological indices in discrimination between focal and generalize onset epilepsy.
Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 100 patients with epilepsy (mean age 21.44±10.5, range 6-52, 67 males and 33 females). Blood samples were collected for the participant and complete blood count (CBC) was performed. Furthermore, serum concentration of K+ and Na+ was determined.
Results: There were 38 patients with generalized and 62 patients with focal onset epilepsy. In multivariate initial analysis, each of mean platelet volume (MPV) (odds ratio (OR)= 2.56, 95%CI=1.09-13.22, p= 0.046) and serum Na+ (OR= 3.85, 95%CI=1.13-13.19, p= 0.032) were significantly associated with generalized onset epilepsy. Furthermore, two AEDs: carbamazepine and valproic acid were also independently associated with generalized and local onset epilepsy, respectively.
Conclusion: These data indicate the possible utility of MPV in the discrimination between generalized and focal onset epilepsy. However, further studies are required for more reliable conclusions.
Association between GSTM1, GSTT1 gene polymorphisms and asthma in adult patients from Tikrit population of Iraq
Authors: Semaa A. Shaban  , H. Salih Maan , Adnan F. AL-Azzawie
Published: September 2022

Introduction and Aim: Asthma is known as a polygenic and multifactorial disease. The underlying debate about the role of genetics in the development of asthma is still unclear. The objectives of this research are to examine whether the GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms are associated with asthma susceptibility. Materials and Methods: A total of 70 patients with asthma and 20 healthy individuals were investigated in this study. Genotyping was carried out by using PCR protocol for analysis of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null/positive genotypes. Results: Patients with asthma (34.285%) demonstrated a greater prevalence of the GSTM1, GSTT1 (-) genotype than the healthy subject (10%, P-value 0.012). A positive correlation was found between GSTT1, GSTM1 (+) genotype and healthy individuals (40%) compared with asthmatic patients (24.285%).  Conclusion: The results of this research support the idea that GSTM1, GSTT1 (-) genotype may play critical roles in asthmatic inflammatory response. Further experimental investigations are needed to estimate the role of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms in asthma.
High street changeability: the effect of urban form on demolition, modification and use change in two south London suburbs
Authors: Törmä Ilkka , Griffiths Sam , Vaughan Laura
Published: September 2022

Adaptability and resilience are recognized as essential elements of urban sustainability, yet they remain elusive as propositions supported by empirical research. In the research presented here the affordance of change and continuity – here termed changeability – is investigated through a comparative historical study of two suburban centres in London - Surbiton and South Norwood - which have matured differently, despite many extrinsic similarities. Their development c.1880–2013 is examined through the analysis of digitized historical maps, building use and space syntax analysis of their street plans. Buildings on busy, but not necessarily the busiest, streets in small town centres are said to be the most changeable since they can accommodate a variety of non-domestic uses. Such streets tend to facilitate incremental building modifications and cyclical redevelopment on widefronted plots.
The integration of new social housing in existing urban schemes: the case of Cité Manifeste in Mulhouse, France
Authors: Kostourou Fani , Karimi Kayvan
Published: September 2022

With a shortage of affordable housing, social housing has become a priority on national agendas. However, designing social housing has a poor record, as reflected in the current demolition of post-war housing ‘utopias’. This paper seeks to explore how the design of new social housing could increase the resilience of urban areas and its social and spatial integration in the contextual urban fabric. It examines the twenty-first century social housing area of Cité Manifeste, designed by renowned architects as an extension of Cité Ouvrière, a nineteenth-century mass industrial housing scheme in the city of Mulhouse, France. The spatial and social performance of these two cités are investigated, focusing on the urban interface between the streets and houses, and its patterns of evolution. Both schemes are well embedded in the wider street network, and Cité Manifeste has integrated better into the old quarter spatially than socially, yet not all parts of the design perform similarly. The comparison of the two cités and their components provides insight into the impact of architectural and urban design on the viability of housing developments.
Urban landscapes and the atmosphere of place: exploring subjective experience in the study of urban form
Authors: Jones Phil , Isakjee Arshad , Jam Chris , Lorne Colin , Warren Saskia
Published: September 2022

Urban landscapes are produced through the combination of material forms and subjective human experience. Drawing on the concept of atmosphere, we argue that human experience of urban spaces drives alterations to the built environment, making it critical that these are studied in tandem. Atmosphere is created through the combination of human activity, individual emotional responses and subjective perceptions of built forms. Though unique to the individual, it can also create a shared feeling of place. Drawing on ethnographic methods to examine people’s experience of the Balsall Heath district in Birmingham, UK, a series of examples is used to illustrate how the interrelationship of subjective experience and built forms creates different atmospheres within the neighbourhood. These, and the desire to alter them, are in turn driving morphological change.

Authors:   Russian Research Institute for Sorghum and Maize “Rossorgo”, Zaitsev Sergey , Kondakov Konstantin , Maslova Galina , Babushkin Denis , Levkina Albina
Published: September 2022

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is widely cultivated in arid conditions of southern countries for fodder and food purposes, and also as a green manure crop. The soil and climatic conditions of the Lower Volga region are quite favorable for the cultivation of the grass pea. This makes it possible to expand the area under crops to meet such goals of the food program as increasing the production of protein for food and feed purposes. The study of the breeding material of the grass pea makes it possible to supplement the gene pool of high-protein crops. The article presents the results of the use of biometric methods for assessing the gene pool of the grass pea. Statistical indicators of the sample, coefficients of variation of traits were identified, significant differences in the breeding material for the studied traits were noted. The yield of gross energy with seeds was determined: 16,66-33,51 GJ/ha. Keywords: GRASS PEA, LINE, PRODUCTIVITY, VARIATION, PROTEIN, SELECTION

Published: September 2022

The fecundity and state of male rats` posterity has been studied after 1,5 month internal irradiation in conditions of Chernobyl zone of alienation with absorbed doses of 94, 9 and 3 mGy. It was shown that due to deterioration of sexual activity and poor quality of spermatozoa the integral index of male fecundity (Fi) made up 5.5, 10,1 and 64,1 % compared to the control group (100 %). The increase of malformation frequency in the progeny of the irradiated males was not revealed, which may be a consequence of the elimination of gametes and zygotes at the pre-implantation stage.

Authors: Kustova M. A.
Published: September 2022

Objective: to study the features of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, combined with the co-infections of the urogenital tract in HIV-positive and HIV-negative pregnant women. Material and methods. The object of the study was 144 pregnant women examined for the presence of HPV DNA and herpes viruses in cervical scrapes. The screening for chlamydial infection was conducted by ELISA method, the culture method was used to detect genital ureaplasma infection, the diagnosis of genital candidiasis was carried out by microscopy. Results. The features of HPV infection were studied in the combination with urogenital chlamydiosis, ureaplasmosis, candidiasis, herpes infection in the HIV-positive and HIV-negative pregnant women. Conclusion. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is the most prevalent concomitant genital infection in the HPV-positive pregnant women (37,5 ± 4,9 % of cases). The HIV-positive pregnant women have concomitant genital infections (79,1 ± 6,2 %) oftener then the HIV-negative pregnant women (56,4 ± 4,9 %). The HPV-infected pregnant women with no markers of chlamydial infection and genital candidiasis reveal cervical dysplasia in combination with genital papillomatosis less often (7,5 ± 4,2 and 4,7 ± 3,2 %, respectively). Thus, there is a reverse tendency in case of U. urealyticum infection, as 43,8 ± 12,8 % of the pregnant women with ureaplasma injection observe cervical dysplasia with genital pappilomas.

Published: September 2022

Purpose of research: to develop an algorithm of differential diagnosis of the most prevalent organic and functional bowel disease on the basis of two «detecting» markers, i.e. fecal lactoferrin and fecal occult blood. Subject: The study included 48 patients with colorectal cancer, 52 patients with ulcerative colitis, 46 patients with irritable bowel syndrome and 25 healthy volunteers. Results: according to the previously published results of our study immunochemical test for occult blood in feces and fecal lactoferrin the most effective «detecting» markers of organic intestinal disease. The sensitivity of immunochemical fecal occult blood test is 84,44 % (95 % CI: 75,30-91,20), specificity - 100 %, fecal lactoferrin - 85,56 % (95 % CI: 76,60-92,10) and 84,78 % (95 % CI: 71,10-93,60), respectively. Combined determination of fecal lactoferrin and fecal occult blood can increase the sensitivity of each marker separately (97,78 %, 95 % CI: 92,20-99,70, p = 0,003 and p = 0,003, respectively). Conclusion: the application of fecal occult blood test and fecal lactoferrin may be assumed as the basis for the algorithm of differential diagnosis of organic and functional bowel disease, because the use of fecal occult blood test and/or fecal lactoferrin makes it possible to reveal signs of organic bowel disease and to establish the indications for its further in-depth examination.

The comparative analysis of the methylation status of promoter regions of eleven different suppressor genes has been carried out in the groups of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer and in patients without pathology with the use of methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. The group without pathology revealed no methylation. The group of the patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia in most cases revealed either no methylation or it occurred in only one of the eleven genes. Methylation of two or more genes was found in five cases which in further histological examination showed morphological evidence of in situ carcinoma . As a result of the comparative analysis of the study groups five candidate genes were selected for the genetic markers panel for differential prostate pathology diagnosis.

Published: September 2022

Doppler tissue imaging is a group of regimes based on the Doppler effect and the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the global and segmental myocardial function. Doppler tissue imaging enables to evaluate quantitatively the functional state of not only the left, but also the right ventricle. The using of Doppler tissue imaging is informative for assessing the global and regional function of the left heart ventricle. The Doppler tissue imaging made it possible to assess the systolic and diastolic function of the various segments of the left and right ventricles. The review presents the information about the principles and possibilities of Doppler tissue imaging, the new technology of ultrasound heart examination in assessment of myocardial function. The review also covers the history of myocardial Doppler tissue imaging. The main attention is focused on the characterization of Doppler myocardial tissue imaging regimes.

Published: September 2022

A Convenção Internacional da ONU sobre os Direitos das Pessoas em situação de discriminação pelo seu desempenho funcional (adiante designada por CDPD) proporciona um quadro vital para o desenvolvimento integral dos cidadãos que, tradicional e negativamente, tem sido consideradas como pessoas com deficiência, a partir do qual se forjam uma série de direitos indesculpáveis nos países membros das Nações Unidas para as pessoas com menor desempenho funcional. A fim de realizar um estudo aprofundado da CDPD, foi proposto o objetivo de explorar, analisar e apresentar o desenvolvimento da CDPD e o direito à vida independente, que será realizado através de uma revisão bibliográfica e da técnica de análise de conteúdo dentro de um paradigma qualitativo. Para concluir este trabalho, tem sido estabelecida uma série de conclusões que apontam, entre outras, a falta de empenho de muitas organizações em desenvolverem –plenamente– os direitos orientados para esta população que se encontra em situação de discriminação por causa de um desempenho funcional baixo.
