Actualmente se reconoce que el sector constructor es uno de los principales generadores de residuos de construcción y demolición (RCD) y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) a nivel mundial. Si bien a nivel nacional existe la Resolución 0472 de 2017 para llevar a cabo una adecuada gestión de los RCD, es importante analizar la influencia del cumplimiento de esta norma en la generación y posible disminución de GEI. Por esta razón, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo valorar técnicamente la relación entre el componente normativo de gestión de RCD (Resolución 472 de 2017) y la reducción de la huella de carbono en la primera fase del ciclo constructivo, estableciendo como estudio de caso una edificación en altura ubicada en la ciudad de Medellín. Para esto se plantearon cuatro escenarios de cumplimiento de Programa de Manejo Ambiental (PMA) en función de diferentes diseños de mezcla de concreto de 24 MPa de resistencia a la compresión, evaluando además la huella de carbono de cada escenario. Los diseños de mezcla de concreto presentaron la inclusión de aditivos superplastificantes, sustituciones parciales de cemento por ceniza volante y/o sustituciones parciales de agregados vírgenes por agregados reciclados. Los resultados demostraron que para el cumplimiento de la normativa de RCD es estratégica la sustitución parcial de agregados vírgenes por agregados reciclados (escenario 3), pero para la reducción en la huella de carbono es importante la sustitución parcial de cemento por ceniza volante, incluyendo aditivos superplastificantes (escenario 2). Por lo tanto, el escenario 4 que vincula todas las estrategias mencionadas presenta altos porcentajes de cumplimiento de la normativa (17,2 % frente a 11,3% del escenario base) y una reducción en la huella de carbono (338,1 kg CO2 /m2 frente a 438,1 kg CO2/m2 del escenario base).
Vepsian Literature as an Aspiration to the Revival of the People (“Up the Stairs Leading Down”?)
Authors: Zaytseva Nina G.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the development of the literature of the Vepsians of the early written people of Russia, whose language is included in the Red Book of the Languages of the Peoples of Russia (the number of people in 2010 was 5936 people). Despite the negative forecasts, the Vepsianlanguage literature is currently successfully developing. The most popular is poetry, represented by the poems of the national writer of Karelia Nikolai Abramov, known in the Finno-Ugric world and beyond. The first generation of authors developed the forms of Vepsian poetry, its rhyme and style, and young authors, first of all Olga Zhukova, Galina Baburova, proved that in urban conditions it is possible to find opportunities for poetry in their native language. The article shows the connection with oral folk art, mythology, philosophy of Vepsian life, which manifested itself in the Vepsian epic Virantanaz by Nina Zaitseva, in the verses of Alevtina Andreeva, reminiscent of a kind of conspiracies or prayers, and in the prose of Valentina Lebedeva. Creating in close collaboration with scientists who claim that the Vepsian language has perfectly preserved both its grammar and vocabulary, which is easily replenished thanks to the rich word-formation system of the Vepsian language, they strive, without discouragement, to go up the stairs leading down.
Heritage of Tatar Literature from the Aspect of Translation
Authors: Nurtdinova Gulnara M. , Tahtarova Svetlana S. , Khabibullina Elmira K.
Published: December 2021

The article presents the review of Tatar literature works and their translations into Russian and some other world languages. The Tatar literature has rich heritage, the first works of it (manuscripts) are dated back to the Middle Ages. The first printed works were published in the XVIII century as that time the Tatar language was the diplomatic language used in the communication between western and eastern countries. The time of XIX-XX centuries is considered to be the rise of the Tatar literature. Since that time the Tatar writers started writing their works in Russian that was caused by natural bilingualism established on the land of Tatarstan due to historical development. In the Soviet times the works of Tatar writers and poets written in Tatar were translated into Russian which is the intermediate language in the Russian Federation. After the collapse of the USSR Russia opened its boundaries and the number of translations of the Tatar writers works into Western and Eastern languages have been growing dramatically. Modern Tatar literature is continuing the traditions of the Tatar literature, the works of Tatar writers have been translating into foreign languages in order to present them to world community.
Stylistic Contrast in the Organization of Literary Texts in the Aspect of Translation (Based on the Material of the Lezghin and Russian Languages)
Authors: Barannikova Tatyana B. , Suleymanova Fatimat N.
Published: December 2021

The topicality and novelty of this article, devoted to the device of stylistic contrast, are predetermined by its rather poor study, as well as by the approach to its investigation from the angle of translation theory and comparative linguistics. The material of the research includes the examples of stylistic contrast selected from literary texts in the Lezghin language and their translations into Russian, Russian-language literary texts and their translations into the Lezghin language. The work is based on the semantico-stylistic and comparative methods, the method of linguistic description of a literary text, elements of linguoculturological and conceptual analysis, as well as the specific methods of translation studies (comparison of the translation and the original, comparison of various translations, questionnaire of informants, educational translation, an experiment). The results of the research consist in clarifying the proceeding interpretation of stylistic contrast, as well as in identifying the difficulties that translators face when transmitting it in a literary text, and indicating the algorithm for overcoming them. They can be used in the courses of Stylistics, Text Linguistics, Translation Theory and Practice, etc., as well as in the development of the translation direction in the Dagestani linguistics, which needs practical developments and theoretical generalizations.
Assédio moral no trabalho
Authors: Lira Da Cunha Luis Fellipe , De Oliveira Vieira Fernando , Esteves de Oliveira Lorena
Published: December 2021

A presente pesquisa objetivou identificar, em trabalhos acadêmicos previamente publicados, tanto os fatores que suscitam à ocorrência do assédio moral no ambiente de trabalho, quanto às sequelas fomentadas por esta prática nos sujeitos e nas organizações. Foram definidas como bases de buscas o Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e o site da Associação Brasileira de Estudos do Trabalho (ABET) no período de 2009 a 2019. Através de uma abordagem qualitativa utilizou-se da metodologia revisão bibliográfica para alcançar o estado do conhecimento. Ou seja, ao longo do período estipulado, mapearam-se as causas e consequências do assédio moral comentados pelos trabalhos científicos. Com isso, foi revelado que cultura organizacional, multiplicidade de tarefas e discriminação são algumas das causas que levam à ocorrência do assédio moral. Referente às consequências, verificou-se que estas atingem tanto a vítima do fenômeno quanto as organizações, causando não só desordens psicopatológicas, psicossomáticas e comportamentais, mas também favorecendo o absenteísmo, queda de produtividade e aposentadorias precoces. Concluiu-se que, dentre os textos analisados, a cultura organizacional se apresenta muitas das vezes como o estopim de uma relação de trabalho que aporta para o assédio moral.

Published: December 2021

Background. Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare
vascular tumor of infancy commonly associated with Kasabach-Merritt
phenomenon (KMP) that includes thrombocytopenia and coagulation
dysfunction. Platelet receptor CLEC-2 -tumor cell podoplanin interaction
is considered the key mechanism of thrombocytopenia in KMP, however, the
effect of long-term exposure to podoplanin on platelet function is
unknown.

Procedure. Here we examined blood samples from 7 patients with
KHE/KMP. Platelet calcium signaling and functional responses to
conventional activation and CLEC-2 stimulation were analyzed by
continuous and endpoint live cell flow cytometry. Platelet aggregation
in response to ADP or rhodocytin was analyzed by low-angle light
scattering approach (LaSca). Additionally, ex vivo thrombus formation on
collagen was observed in parallel-plate flow chambers.

Results. We demonstrate that in KHE/KMP platelet functional
responses to strong stimulation were on the lower boundary of
age-matched normal ranges, while calcium mobilization and fibrinogen
binding upon stimulation with ADP alone were significantly lower than
control values. Platelet di-aggregate formation in response to ADP was
also diminished in most of the patients. Formation of platelet
aggregates in collagen-coated parallel plate flow chambers was also
noticeably lower than in the age-matched control group. Calcium
mobilization in response to CLEC-2 stimulation was unaltered in the
patients and could be blocked by low-molecular-weight inhibitors, 2CP
and HB125.

Conclusions. While platelet responsiveness in KHE/KMP is
moderately altered, platelet CLEC-2 receptors remain functional and
respond to inhibition. Therefore, our findings suggest that
CLEC-2-targeting molecules are new potential agents in therapeutic
management of this life-threatening condition.

Methaemoglobin results from the oxidation of ferrous to ferric iron in
the centre of the haem moeity of haemoglobin. The production of
dose-dependent methaemoglobinaemia by 8-aminoquinoline antimalarial
drugs appears to be associated with, but is not directly linked to
therapeutic efficacy against latent vivax and ovale malarias. Iatrogenic
methaemoglobinaemia may be a useful pharmacodynamic measure in
8-aminoquinoline drug and dose optimization.
COVID-19 Pandemic and Blended Learning: A Quantitative Assessment of Revised Community of Inquiry (RCoI) Framework
Authors: Usmani Sania
Published: December 2021

This paper presents the Revised Community of Inquiry (RCoI) framework to identify different aspects of learning presence (Learner, Teaching, Social and Cognitive presence) in a blended learning course. RCoI framework emphasizes on the roles of stakeholders in online education. This research tested the impact of RCoI on Students Learning with the moderating role of Technology (Learning Management System). The data was collected from 462 students in different universities in Karachi, Pakistan. Results identified that there is a positive relationship of RCoI and Technology Use (LMS) on Students Learning in a Blended/Hybrid course. Further, there was one moderating role of technology Use (LMS) found in this research. Technology moderates the relationship between Cognitive presence and Students Learning. It shows that technology reduces the cognitive presence of students and reduces their effective learning. They are lesser involved in critical thinking and problem solving as compared to classroom teaching.
Troubles with the evolutionary theory of self-deception
Authors: Zivanovic Igor
Published: December 2021

The evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers was the first to address the
well-known psychological phenomenon of self-deception from the standpoint of
natural science. According to Trivers, self-deception evolved as an
offensive strategy in the evolutionary arms race between the deceiver and
the deceived. Though apparently both tenable and plausible, Trivers?
evolutionary theory of self-deception, which takes the enhancement of
interpersonal deception as the proper function of self-deception, is
burdened with the number of difficulties. In this paper, I will argue that
it is conceptually impossible for self-deceivers to deceive others about
false beliefs they have falsely acquired as if they were true. If
interpersonal deception is the conceptual impossibility for self-deceivers,
then interpersonal deception cannot be the proper function of
self-deception.
War and post-truth: Moral equality of combatants and inculpable ignorance in just war theory
Authors: Stanar Dragan
Published: December 2021

This paper aims to explain the effect of the post-truth on revisionism in
Just War Theory. Revisionism in JWT is based on the claim that Jus ad Bellum
and Jus in Bello cannot be separated and that only combatants who fight on
the just side are morally justified in killing. Presupposition of this
argument is that combatants can and ought to know the moral status of their
side. This paper will demonstrate that it is impossible to demand combatants
to know whether their side is just by investigating the implications of
post-truth in modern conflicts. By demonstrating the practical impossibility
of combatants to know whether their side is just, author will show that the
assumption of inculpable ignorance in war must remain the essence of JWT.
Posttruth phenomenon only fortifies the necessity of separating Jus ad
Bellum from Jus in Bello and upholding the principle of moral equality of
combatants in contemporary wars.

A theoretical model is developed to stimulate electro-kinetic transfer
through peristaltic movement in a micro-channel. The effect of variable
viscosity and wall properties are considered. The long wavelength and small
Reynolds number approximations are supposed to simplify the governing
formulas. Debye-Huckel linearization is also utilized. The perturbation
technique is utilized to solve the governing non-linear equations. The
graphical outcomes are presented for velocity and streamlines.
Optimal spacings for channels with Hagen-Poiseuille fluid-flow and mass transfer - the role of the Bejan number
Authors: Zimparov Ventsislav , Petkov Valentin , Hristov Hristo
Published: December 2021

This work is a continuation of the recent studies [1, 2], revealing that the
unique form of the Bejan number is robust (unchangeable) and appears
independently in all Hagen-Poiseuille fluid-flows with heat or mass transfer
by convection. The other dimensionless groups, derived from the First law of
thermodynamics (related to the convection heat or mass transfer), and named
Bejan numbers are combinations of the unique Bejan number with Prandtl or
Schmidt numbers, respectively, and ratios of geometrical parameters of the
system. In this paper we continue developing this idea through presenting
new examples of problems in the field of convection mass transfer in pure
laminar duct flows.

The Value of Auditor Industry Specialization: Evidence from a Structural Model
Authors: Guo Qiang , Koch Christopher , Zhu Aiyong
Published: December 2021

This study investigates the value of auditor industry specialization. In the first step, we use a discrete choice model to derive the first-order demand for auditor industry specialization. Our results reveal that clients have a general preference for auditor industry specialization, relating to both audit firm and audit office specialization. We observe that specializations at the audit firm and audit office level are substitutes. We also find that larger, more complex clients have a stronger demand for industry specialization at the audit office level. In the second step, we use the results from the discrete choice model to quantify the value of auditor industry specialists for clients. We find the overall value of industry specialization aggregated across all clients is 5.2 million USD (0.36 percent of audit fees) and that industry specialization at the firm (office) level is decisive for auditor choice in 4 percent (6 percent) of all cases.

Serum Cytokeratin 18 as a Metastatic and Therapeutic Marker for Extramammary Paget’s Disease
Authors: Urano-Takaoka Mariko , Sumida Hayakazu , Miyagawa Takuya , Awaji Kentaro , Nagai Kojiro , Omatsu Jun , Miyake Tomomi , Sato Shinichi
Published: December 2021

Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma with unfavourable prognosis once it becomes invasive. A tumour marker that reflects disease progression is required for adequate management of EMPD. Cytokeratin 18 is highly expressed in many types of cancer and its soluble forms are detected by M30 (for caspase-cleaved form) and M65 (for both caspase-cleaved and intact forms) assays. We report here that tumour cells of EMPD in both lesional skin and lymph node metastasis are immunohistochemically positive for CK18, and the baseline serum M30 and M65 levels in patients with metastatic EMPD are significantly higher than those in non-metastatic patients. In addition, serial serum M30 and M65 levels might reflect recurrence of EMPD and response to chemotherapy. These results suggest that serum CK18 levels may be a useful tumour marker for advanced EMPD.

Formación docente e investigación pedagógica en red
Authors: Dávila Paula , Argnani Agustina
Published: December 2021

En este artículo presentamos algunos interrogantes y reflexiones en torno de estrategias de formación docente e la investigación pedagógica centrados en la producción de relatos pedagógicos. El trabajo se centra en la que surge de la “Red de Formación Docente y Narrativas Pedagógicas”, un Programa de Extensión Universitaria de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, en el cual trabajamos desde 2010. Todo aquello que se plantea a continuación es el resultado de la aplicación de un dispositivo de documentación narrativa de experiencias pedagógicas en un espacio de trabajo y de organización tan particular como el que implica una red. En este artículo nos proponemos atender de qué modo este dispositivo puede generar y robustecer la dimensión horizontal, colectiva y co-participativa que promueve el trabajo en red entre distintos sujetos pedagógicos para pensar y redefinir procesos de investigación-formación-acción. El interés principal fue el de indagar cómo se configura esta co-construcción de saberes, con el fin de problematizar las posiciones establecidas en el campo pedagógico, desde un posicionamiento político-epistemológico que descansa sobre la firme convicción de que es preciso pensar otras políticas para la formación y el desarrollo profesional docentes.

Published: December 2021

A través de aforismos, traemos preguntas fundamentales para trabajar con narrativas, ya sea en la investigación o en la formación. La investigación biográfico-narrativa se presenta como una herramienta para analizar los procesos sociales, a partir de la vida de los sujetos. Con este hilo conductor, se plantean otros temas, como la reflexión epistemológica sobre la obra en sí, los sujetos como históricamente situados, la importancia de la escucha sensible, metáforas, imágenes y contextos que se pierden de vista. Sin querer agotar las posibilidades ni banalizar los aforismos, concluimos que lo social habita en todos y cada uno habita lo social y que nuestra vigilia se sostiene por el mundo que habitan las personas y el mundo que las habita.

Virtual Fracture Clinic: A pandemic-ready tool for improving the efficiency of fracture clinic
Authors: McRae Bonnie , Shortt Nicholas , Campbell Natalie , Burton Christopher , Scott Justin , Fitzpatrick Jane
Published: December 2021

Background: The traditional model of care of the Orthopaedic Fracture Clinic (OFC) is labour intensive, expensive, has poor satisfaction rates, and often has minimal impact on management and outcomes of patients with minor injuries. Our aim was to implement a Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC) for the management of minor injuries that is safe, reduces OFC clinic workload and reduces the OFC failure to attend (FTA) rate.
Methods: This study was a retrospective longitudinal audit of OFC workload before (January 2012 -February 2017) and after (March 2017 – December 2019) implementation of the VFC. It was performed in an urban district general hospital in South East Queensland, Australia. The primary outcome measures included attendances per timepoint (month).
Results: Overall, we observed a significant reduction in total number of patients from 1,055 (IQR 104.5) to 831 (IQR: 103) per month) coming through the OFC following the introduction of the VFC (F = 21.9; df=1; p <0.0001). The failure to attend rate was reduced by 44% from 271 (IQR: 127.3) to 151 (IQR: 72.8) (F=4.0; df=1; p = 0.047).
Conclusion: The VFC implementation was successful in improving efficiency and reducing the current OFC workload, as well as reducing FTA rate. Reduction in clinic workload allows more time to be spent with complex patients, prevents clinic backlogs and overbooking, and crowding of waiting rooms. In the midst of a global pandemic that is spread by close contact, virtual clinics seem the way of the future to treat patients whilst minimising risk of COVID-19 spread.

Published: December 2021

As the world progresses towards automation, manual search for data from large databases also needs to keep pace. When the database includes health data, even minute aspects need careful scrutiny. Keyword search techniques are helpful in extracting data from large databases. There are two keyword search techniques: Exact and Approximate. When the user wants to search through EHR, a short search time is expected. To this end, this work investigates Metaphone (Exact search) and Similar_Text (approximate search) Techniques. We have applied keyword search to the data, which includes the symptoms and names of medicines. Our results indicate that the search time for Similar_text is better than for Metaphone.

Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVES: The high turnover rate of nurses has been a matter of debate among scholars. Nurses’ social interaction patterns and the social structure they are situated within may provide clues about possible causes of their high turnover intentions. This study aims to investigate the possible effects of negative and positive ties on the intention of turnover among nurses.
DESIGN & SETTING: A hybrid research methodology was used. Social network analysis was used to reveal the positions of the nurses (n = 126) in the positive and negative networks. A statistical model was formed with varying types of centrality measures, intragroup conflict, and intention to leave variables. The data was collected from all the nurses working in a special branch hospital.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The findings of the study clearly indicate that negative interactions directly and indirectly affect the intention to leave, and the nurses demand professional support from their colleagues. The findings also show the existence of a fragmented social structure among nurses, which suggests the increased importance of brokerage roles.
Managers should closely monitor the negative interactions among nurses, and they need to use conflict management techniques frequently to reduce hostile relations in the business environment. Managers should especially seek ways to increase altruistic tendencies among colleagues because nurses demand professional support ties more than friendship relations.
Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Among Recently Qualified Resident Doctors: A qualitative study
Authors: Almansour Husam
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Public health systems throughout the world are constantly being confronted with serious shortages of doctors. The Saudi health system acknowledges the risks involved in its heavy dependence on non-Saudi doctors and has gradually expanded its efforts to nationalize its medical staff by improving the capacity of the medical education system through increasing the number of medical colleges. The objective of this study was to explore the most crucial factors that influence job satisfaction among recently qualified resident doctors in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: The study used a qualitative approach, with in-depth interviews that were conducted with recently qualified resident doctors to gather information on the factors that were the most critical in affecting their job satisfaction early in their careers. Twenty-five qualified resident doctors were purposively selected for interviews. The participants were selected from various areas of specialization, such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, and emergency medicine.
Results: This study emphasized the importance of improving the satisfaction levels of recently qualified resident doctors with respect to a range of job-related factors. The following seven themes emerged from the data: education and development, recognition and respect, professionalism, workload, healthcare facilities, patient adherence, and salary.
Conclusion: An increased investment in medical education is recommended to improve educational outcomes. The satisfaction that recently qualified resident doctors have with regard to their salaries should be monitored continuously, and further evidence is needed to determine whether modifications are required. Improving the satisfaction levels of the resident doctors in the seven specific areas of their jobs can result in greater retention.

En 2020 se publicó Memorias de la prisión política durante el terrorismo de Estado en la Argentina (1974-1983), investigación del antropólogo Santiago Garaño que forma parte de la colección de acceso abierto “Entre los libros de la buena memoria”, impulsada por las Universidades Nacionales de La Plata, Misiones y General Sarmiento. Se trata de un trabajo que aborda una problemática con poca visibilidad dentro de los estudios sobre violencia política: la experiencia de militancia y represión vivida por detenidas y detenidos por razones políticas entre 1974 y 1983.
Capacidades de Innovación Empresarial en América Latina. Revisión de la Literatura
Authors: Rodríguez Rengifo Juan Sebastián , Quintero Sepulveda Isabel Cristina
Published: December 2021

La innovación involucra tanto una actividad como el resultado de esta (OCDE y Eurostat, 2018) y está relacionada con las capacidades de innovación, consideradas como un activo especial para el desarrollo y comercialización de nuevas tecnologías, la introducción de nuevos productos y la adopción de nuevos procesos, especialmente en contextos de rápido cambio tecnológico. Las capacidades de innovación a su vez son determinantes no solo en los resultados de innovación, sino también en la competitividad. Este artículo tiene como objetivo determinar las variables de capacidades de innovación estudiadas en América Latina, en comparación con las variables de capacidades de innovación que son analizadas en el Informe de Competitividad Mundial - WEF (Schwab, 2019). La investigación se desarrolla mediante una revisión sistemática usando la metodología PRISMA. Se obtienen resultados sobre los países que estudian capacidades de innovación y las variables que se analizan en los estudios sobre capacidades de innovación en América Latina, y se comparan con las variables que analiza WEF. Los resultados evidencian que hay una articulación parcial entre las variables analizadas en los estudios sobre capacidades de innovación en América Latina y las variables que conforman el WEF.
Educar e transmitir um laço com a ciência
Authors: Pinto Patrícia Feiten
Published: December 2021

O que se identifica na sociedade brasileira é uma desconfiança do lugar da ciência em produzir alternativas para os problemas contemporâneos, a exemplo do que ocorre com a Covid-19. Nessa situação, fakenews e pessoas socialmente influentes parecem estar com mais credibilidade. Mesmo que outras percepções também façam sentido para os humanos e que pensar na conservação da civilização requeira entender que existe uma infinitude de formas de interpretar o mundo, o que se propõe refletir é a relação da ciência com a sociedade. Assim, busca-se entender os conceitos de ética e moral para problematizar o lugar inerente que cada uma dessas concepções tem para a formação das novas gerações. O intuito também é refletir sobre o vínculo entre as novas gerações e a ciência. A metodologia é bibliográfica e qualitativa, com aporte crítico-hermenêutico. Educar é impor limites e transmitir a tradição, mas é também uma abertura para o diálogo e para a construção de novas interpretações. Mesmo que cada humano tenha as suas crenças pessoais, é preciso formar sujeitos que compreendam o lugar ocupado pela ciência no mundo humano. Apesar de não existirem garantias de que as novas gerações desenvolvam um vínculo com a ciência, educar é idealizar e proporcionar um ambiente onde algum laço significativo com esses saberes se produza. Não adianta a transmissão de conhecimentos aos alunos se eles não entenderem o lugar desse saber para a esfera pública.

Published: December 2021

Objectives

The article presents the results of an in vitro study aimed at identifying changes in parameters of oxidative stress – concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) and protective antioxidant role of melatonin (MLT) during the exposure of blood platelets to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by monitors.

Methods

Platelets were exposed to an EMR for 30- and 60 min. generated by monitors (1 kHz frequency, 220 V/m intensity). In each sample the level of SOD-1 activity and concentration of MDA were determined.

Results

The MDA concentration increased significantly after 30-and 60-min. irradiation, as compared to control values (2.53 vs 1.36; 3.64 vs 1.36 nmol/109 blood platelets) and after the addition of MLT it decreased (2.53 vs 1.55; 3.64 vs 1.12 nmol/109 blood platelets). The activity of SOD-1 increased significantly compared to control values after 30 min. and 60 min. of exposure to EMR (1.97vs 0.75; 2.08 vs 0.75 U/g of protein), and significantly decreased after the addition of MLT only in samples exposed for 60 min. (2.08 vs 0.95 U/g of protein).

Discussion

The results demonstrated the possibly negative effect of EMR on oxygen metabolism of blood platelets and indicated a possible protective role of melatonin in this process.
Statistical Analysis of Interdependence of ICT and Economic Development of Selected European Countries

Published: December 2021

The research focus on the analysis of interdependence of economic and ICT development results from the fact that, in recent decades, ICTs have become a dominant factor in generating socio-economic prosperity of countries. ICT expansion is a stimulus for economic growth, and vice versa. In order to empirically verify the observed interdependence, on the example of the selected 37 European countries, a two-stage statistical analysis was conducted, based on a combined application of cluster analysis and a oneway analysis of variance. Using specific data from 2017, the following was conducted: (a) formation of groups of countries by implementing cluster analysis based on the three structural components of the ICT Development Index; and (b) by applying the ANOVA method and using the values of GDP per capita, testing the validity of assumption regarding the existence of statistically significant differences, in terms of the achieved level of economic development between the formed groups of countries of different levels of ICT development. The obtained results suggest the extraction of three clusters of countries and the acceptance of the defined hypothesis. Serbia is classified within the cluster of medium ICT development level and is characterized by the value of GDP per capita that is significantly below the group average, which indicates the possibility and the need for improvement in the ICT field.
