Published: March 2024

Цель. Оценить противоопухолевый эффект глюконатов марганца, меди и цинка на модели миеломы Sp2/0 Ag14 у линейных мышей BALB/c.
Материал и методы. Мыши линии BALB/c с трансплантированной миеломой Sр 2/0 Аg14 получали перорально в течение трех недель глюконаты марганца, меди и цинка, синтезированные в Уфимском институте химии УФИЦ РАН, препаратом сравнения служил циклофосфамид. На 22 день проводили гистологические исследования органов и опухолевых образований, а также оценивали противоопухолевый эффект, рассчитывая показатели опухолевой регрессии: торможение прироста массы тела (ТПМ), торможение развития асцита (ТРА) и через 3 месяца — увеличение продолжительности жизни (УПЖ).
Результаты. Гистологические исследования показали отсутствие солидных опухолевых образований в группах мышей после трехнедельной терапии глюконатами металлов. В тканях органов существенных изменений по сравнению с контрольной группой интактных животных выявлено не было. В группе животных без лечения зарегистрировано образование узловатой опухоли с выраженной сетью сосудистых структур, в которых после терапии циклофосфамидом обнаружен венозный застой, приводящий к скоплению лимфоидных клеток в стенках ячеек опухоли. Показатели ТПМ, ТРА и УПЖ в группе с препаратом сравнения циклофосфамид имели значения: 28,8 %, 29,4 % и 153,5 %, которые оказались близкими к показателям в группе с терапией глюконатом меди. Глюконаты марганца и цинка показали более высокую эффективность, превышающую эффективность препарата сравнения на 30-40 %.
Заключение. Введение в течение трех недель глюконатов марганца, меди и цинка замедляет развитие опухолевого процесса у мышей BALB/c с миеломой Sp2/0 Ag14: на этапе забора материала солидных опухолевых образований не обнаружено, рост опухоли отмечен только после отмены препаратов. Результаты эксперимента подкреплены морфологическим контролем и статистическими расчетами с помощью программы «Statistica 10,0». Ингибирование роста опухоли (30-40 %) зарегистрировано по изменению массы тела, накопления асцита и продолжительности жизни.

Материалы и методы. В настоящей статье приведено описание результатов обследования 76 пациентов с адренокортикальным раком (АКР), прооперированных в стационаре Петербургского государственного университета. Диагноз АКР был установлен с 2009 по 2020 гг. Описаны демографические характеристики пациентов, основные характеристики заболевания, гормональная активность опухоли, данные компьютерной томографии (КТ).
Результаты. В целом получены данные, согласующиеся с международной литературой, в отношении возраста при дебюте заболевания (медиана возраста — 45 лет), соотношения лиц женского и мужского пола (3:1), частоты гиперкортизолизма (48,8 %). Обнаружено, что сочетание рентгенологической плотности ≤ 20 HU и размера новообразования менее 4 см не исключает все случаи АКР, согласно полученным данным, у 2 (3,3 %) из 65 пациентов при использовании указанных критериев заболевание было бы пропущено. В рамках анализа данных КТ примерно у трети пациентов не обнаружено повышения стандартных порогов абсолютного и относительного процентов вымывания контраста для определения злокачественности опухоли. При анализе результатов было обнаружено, что в подгруппе пациентов с манифестным синдромом Иценко — Кушинга, при сравнении с остальными, имеет место статистически значимое повышение показателей вымывания контраста.
Заключение. В целом полученные данные у пациентов с АКР в исследованной популяции согласуются с литературными. Результаты исследования свидетельствуют о том, что диагностическая ценность определения показателей вымывания контраста для дифференциальной диагностики АКР ограничена, особенно при небольших размерах новообразования и при синдроме Иценко - Кушинга. Согласно полученным данным, наиболее надежным критерием исключения АКР является нативная рентгенологическая плотность < 10 HU, использование этого критерия позволило исключить АКР во всех случаях.
Emergencia tabacalera: puesta en valor de los cultivos y secaderos de tabaco desarrollados en las vegas del río Tiétar
Authors: Ruiz Bulnes Pilar
Published: March 2024

A mediados del siglo XX, la implantación del sector tabacalero en las comarcas extremeñas de la Vera y Campo Arañuelo provocó un cambio radical de paradigma. Más de 15.000 hectáreas de secano ubicadas en las vegas del río Tiétar fueron transformadas en cultivos de regadío, fundamentalmente de tabaco. De la mano llegaron sus infraestructuras asociadas: los secaderos.  Hoy abandonados, poco analizados y sin un marco legal que los ampare, éstos permanecen como elementos identitarios del paisaje. A través de un recorrido por la historia del lugar, de un análisis de la conformación del territorio y de un estudio tipológico de estas infraestructuras tabacaleras, la investigación pretende poner en valor el patrimonio agroindustrial extremeño, en peligro de desaparecer. Mediante el trabajo de campo, el dibujo arquitectónico y la postproducción de ortofotos, se demuestra cómo los secaderos, junto a los cultivos, son parte fundamental del paisaje cultural de las vegas del Tiétar. La neutralidad y flexibilidad de estas infraestructuras permite su adaptación a nuevos y variados usos, asegurando así su necesaria permanencia.

Published: March 2024

The study aimed to assess the level of future anxiety and the most common attachment patterns among mothers of children with chronic diseases, as well as to assess the relationship between them . It also aimed to determine any statistically significant differences in the level of future anxiety and attachment patterns depending on the variables of the mother’s educational level, the mother’s age, the type of disease, and the duration of diagnosis. The study sample consisted of (145) mothers who were under the care of the Islamic Center Society in Irbid Governorate, Jordan, during 2023. They were selected using the available method, and both the future anxiety scale and the attachment styles scale were used. The results of the study showed that the level of anxiety about the future among the mothers studied was high, and that the most common attachment style was the anxious attachment style, followed by avoidant attachment, followed by secure attachment. The results of the study also showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between the secure attachment style and anxiety about the future, and the existence of a positive relationship. Statistically significant between both the anxious attachment style and the avoidant attachment style. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of the mother’s educational level, the duration of diagnosis and the mother’s age, and the presence of statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of the type of illness on the measure of future anxiety. The results also showed that there were no differences. Statistically significant due to the effect of the mother’s educational level, type of illness, and duration of diagnosis in all attachment styles, and the presence of statistically significant differences due to the effect of the mother’s age.

Bitcoin Price Prediction Model Development Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
Authors: Cahyadi Jonathan , Zahra Amalia
Published: March 2024

Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency that can be used as a financial or economic standard, foreign currency reserve, and as a means of payment in some countries. The value that goes up and down every time is not easy to predict using logic. This is a problem for investors, besides that investors lack knowledge about the direction of crypto money movement. In addition, there is no system that can predict the price of Bitcoin, so this can cause investors to take the wrong steps in transactions and can cause losses. To avoid this risk, a system is needed that can predict bitcoin prices using data mining techniques, namely forecasting, the algorithms used are CNN and LSTM. The data used is Bitcoin closing price data from January 1, 2017, to April 26, 2023. The data is divided into 80% training data and 20% testing data. The prediction results are evaluated using MAPE which gets a MAPE value of 0.037 or 3.7% in the CNN algorithm, while the LSTM algorithm gets a value of 0.065 or 6.5%. The MAPE results of the two algorithms are in the MAPE range <10%, so it can be said that the ability of the forecasting model is very good so that it can be used as a reference to determine the prediction of bitcoin prices in the next few periods.

General practice – family medicine department. Object of investigation – patients with confirmed diagnosis of arterial hypertension without and with diabetes mellitus of second type, which were under observation at the primary medical care centers. 

The aim of the investigation was the study of efficiency of the combined (calcium channel blocker – amlodipin besilat and angiotensin II receptor antagonist – valsartan) antihypertensive treatment in patients with arterial hypertension combined with diabetes mellitus from the start of the treatment in the practice of primary care physician.

Methods of the investigation included physical examination, general clinical, instrumental and laboratory methods, monitoring of side effects.

As a result it was found, that combined antihypertensive treatment (amlodipin and valsartan) is effective and safe in patients with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus of 2 type, which helps to reach the target level of arterial pressure in 72 % of patients and can be recommended from the beginning of the treatment in the practice of family physician. Maximal effect of the treatment in patients with arterial hypertension of II-III degree and diabetes mellitus of 2 type was observed only at 12th week of treatment. At combined antihypertensive treatment (amlodipin and valsartan) they observed tendency to the reduction of left ventricle hypertrophy. Despite the rate and percentage of the reaching of target arterial pressure were lower in the group of patients, which have diabetes mellitus of 2 type, it is necessary to recommend more active modification of the way of life in the named group of patients. It was found reduction of heart and vascular risks in the group of patients with arterial hypertension II–III degree with diabetes mellitus 2 type. This makes the basis for more active modification of life style and using from the start of the treatment combined antihypertensive therapy immediately. Consider all found results using from the start of the treatment combined antihypertensive therapy immediately by the primary care physician is proved for patients with arterial hypertension combined with diabetes mellitus.

Accumulated materials (including theoretical reviews, demonstrative poster reports etc.) are used at training of interns in speciality «general practice – family medicine», during practical classes for higher courses education in national and English languages

LITERASI DAN HAK CIPTA PADA ERA KESULTANAN MAMLUK MESIR 1250–1517 M
Authors: Mafaza Silfi  , Kholili Badriza
Published: March 2024

This research analyzes copyrights owned or enjoyed by authors in the era of the Egyptian Mamluk Sultanate (648–923 AH/ 1250–1517 AD). Although the study focuses on the area and era of the Mamluk Sultanate, the idea of the integration of Islamic territories as one unified region (dār al-Islām) makes the results of this study have the potential to be drawn more broadly as a representative sample from various Islamic regions at that time. The main finding obtained from this research is that the massive literacy activities in the era of the Mamluk Sultanate gave rise to various unwritten agreements regarding an author's copyright among writers of that era. The emerging agreements tended to adapt to the conditions and spirit of the time, as the moral rights of writers in that era tended to be given more attention than the economic rights they had. The author's economic rights are almost completely limited to direct sales of the manuscripts he wrote/composed and rewards from their patrons. Meanwhile, copying manuscripts for personal and commercial purposes is done freely, almost without the author's permission. On the other hand, the second right, namely moral rights, whose embodiment is seen in the right of attribution and the right to safeguard the authenticity of manuscript content, seems to be considered more important by writers in this era. This tendency is because of the author's reputation and the potential influence (both in social, political, and religious aspects) that the writer can "enjoy" as an implication for the spread of the works he writes in various Islamic areas.

Sendang Batik is a local household industry that is very profitable for the community. Because its appearance can boost the economy of the residents of Sendang Village. This article study aims to look at the dynamics of the batik industry in Sendang Duwur Village, in order to introduce local batik to the national and international level. In this research article, the author uses a descriptive qualitative approach because it is a field study. As for the research method, the author uses a historical method which has four stages in the study, namely, heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. In this research, the results can be found that the batik tradition began with Sunan Sendang Duwur's wife, namely, Dewi Tilarsih, who created this activity to fill her free time. The Batik industry starts from the homes of each community until the formation of batik industry communities. There is capital, labor, marketing, and the economy of the batik industry. The batik industry in Sendang Duwur Village is profitable for entrepreneurs in the economy. Because before the existence of the batik industry, people only worked as farmers whose economy could only be made for daily needs. With the emergence of the batik industry in Sendang Duwur Village, the people can live well enough to be able to send their children to college. There are various variants and motifs in Sendang Duwur Batik, namely leaves, flowers, whiteness, namkathil, singo kok, milkfish catfish. Apart from motifs or variants, Sendang Duwur batik also has various types of products, namely, Shawl, Jarik, Udeng, Sarong, Batik Shirt and Krudung. The many types of variants and motifs that Sendang Duwur batik has are encouraged by the community itself, as well as from the local government.
Fostering Economic Sustainability within Rural Families in South Africa through Visual Arts and Crafts
Authors: Mbeshu-Mhlauli Nonceba Cynthia
Published: March 2024

This paper investigated interventions that can restore the importance of visual arts and crafts in fostering economic sustainability within rural families, in particular, young rural community members. Prior to colonization, visual arts and crafts played a significant role in providing economic subsistence for many households in South Africa. During the inception of formal education, that practice was replaced by scholastic education, prioritizing theoretical knowledge over practical experiential learning, leading to a gradual decline in the subsistence lifestyle. Marxism Theory (1848), which underpins this study, posits that within a capitalist economic framework, workers are exploited whilst company owners amass additional money. Craft manufacturing has the potential to augment self-generated income, making a valuable contribution to economic growth whilst avoiding any form of exploitation. The qualitative convenient sample comprised fifteen school dropouts and graduates from both South Africans and foreign nationals and was studied through face-to-face and telephonically informal conversations. The findings revealed that insufficient application of traditional visual arts and crafts skills in elementary education; inadequate delivery of government services to promote visual arts and crafts entrepreneurship; and the divergent perspectives in defining the concept of “civilization and freedom” impede efforts to achieve economic sustainability. The study recommended that community members should not only rely on government support services but instead utilize government grants to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and adopt subsistence lifestyles that rely on natural resources for sustainable economic growth. The government should also support the establishment of training centres where skilled individuals can impart knowledge and skills to the younger generation and monitor the efficacy of non-governmental organizations. This study not only enhances the well-being of people and communities but also offers valuable material for academic research in several fields. It strengthens comprehension of cultural, economic, and social phenomena within the framework of sustainable development.

Deep convolutional neural network-based Leveraging Lion Swarm Optimizer for gesture recognition and classification
Authors: Maashi Mashael , Al-Hagery Mohammed Abdullah , Rizwanullah Mohammed , Osman Azza Elneil
Published: March 2024

Vision-based human gesture detection is the task of forecasting a gesture, namely clapping or sign language gestures, or waving hello, utilizing various video frames. One of the attractive features of gesture detection is that it makes it possible for humans to interact with devices and computers without the necessity for an external input tool like a remote control or a mouse. Gesture detection from videos has various applications, like robot learning, control of consumer electronics computer games, and mechanical systems. This study leverages the Lion Swarm optimizer with a deep convolutional neural network (LSO-DCNN) for gesture recognition and classification. The purpose of the LSO-DCNN technique lies in the proper identification and categorization of various categories of gestures that exist in the input images. The presented LSO-DCNN model follows a three-step procedure. At the initial step, the 1D-convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) method derives a collection of feature vectors. In the second step, the LSO algorithm optimally chooses the hyperparameter values of the 1D-CNN model. At the final step, the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier allocates proper classes, i.e., it recognizes the gestures efficaciously.

Many transmission channels of monetary policy have been proposed to enrich and deepen the understanding of its mechanisms. However, some channels have not been clarified, particularly for those unconventional quantitative policies implemented after 2008 financial crisis. In this paper, we develop a unified model of a credit economy where bank regulations and decisions and loanable funds market are placed at a central position, while stocks and flows are incorporated with each other to formulate banks' credit creation and circulation. We find that bank regulations can induce some new channels of monetary transmission by imposing credit constraints, including the new bank capital channel, the credit supply channel, the new bank balance sheet channel, and the new bank risk-taking channel. Comparing these channels with the traditional ones, we underscore the impact of bank regulations on monetary transmission. As aggregate demand can be decomposed into two monetary flows generated by money circulation and bank lending respectively, the direct channels of monetary transmission to aggregate demand can be renewed as follows: the money channel, the narrow money circulation channel, the new bank lending channel, and the repayment channel. In addition, based on the relevant data from the United States, we have conducted vector autoregressive (VAR) impulse response analysis to confirm the effectiveness of some direct channels. Our work not only aids in revisiting the monetary transmission from a credit view but also facilitates the assessment of efficiency of monetary policy.

Authors: Shukla Kasturi , Shilewant Sayali , Sinha Beauty
Published: March 2024

Climate change is a long-term shift in temperature and weather patterns. The United Nations states that since the late 18th century, human activities - primarily the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas - have been the primary cause of climate change. Across the different sectors, the greenhouse effect is most prominent which forms a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun's heat and raising temperatures. According to the UN, clearing of land and deforestation is responsible for increased carbon dioxide levels in the environment. The main sectors responsible for greenhouse gas emission are energy, transport, construction, agriculture, healthcare, and high land use. The healthcare industry is the largest source of greenhouse gasses, accounting for almost 5% of global greenhouse emissions. This chapter reviews the theories and models proposed by national and international organizations like United Nations and World Health Organization to explore and explain the impact of hospitals on climate change and the short-term and long-term impact on sustainability.

Published: March 2024

The signs of climate change are increasing rapidly. There is no doubt that an irreversible transformation that may occur in climate change will have important consequences for our world's habitat. The effects that may occur from the global economy to social and human structures are closely followed by scientists, and theories and models are tried to be produced on what may happen. In addition, it is tried to predict the effects of climate change on the quality of life (QoL) of individuals and communities. In this book chapter, the signs of global climate change and their causes will be summarized, and whether the temporal evolution of climate change that has taken place throughout world history is chaotic or not will be examined. The conditions for the emergence of this evolution process after the chaos caused by global warming will be discussed. Climate change and its possible effects will be examined within the framework of a cyborg science theory, which is put forward as the postmodern science of the future.

Published: March 2024

This study elucidates the intersection of privacy and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), employing Solove's pragmatic approach and Nissenbaum's theory of contextual integrity to dissect privacy within various CBDC frameworks. It articulates three foundational principles for privacy-centric CBDC design: legal acknowledgment of privacy rights, embedding privacy by design, and prioritizing user-centricity. This analysis not only deepens the understanding of privacy in the digital currency domain but also proposes a legal and technical blueprint for central banks aspiring to develop CBDCs that respect and protect user privacy.
