4E Cognition and the Spectrum of Aesthetic Experience
Authors: Burnett Mia , Gallagher Shaun
Published: December 2020

We review 4E (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive) approaches to the analysis of art and aesthetic experience. We argue that extended mind analyses that focus on tool use miss important aspects, and that it requires 4 or more E’s to address the broad spectrum of aesthetic experiences that correlate to the broad variety of artistic genres. We develop an enactive, affordance-based approach to understanding art and aesthetic experience. Considering both the potential and the limitations of any particular approach, we argue that there is no one unified set of principles that will make sense of all art everywhere.
Emoting the Situated Mind
A Taxonomy of Affective Material Scaffolds
Authors: Colombetti Giovanna
Published: December 2020

Existing accounts of cognitive artefacts are a useful starting point for developing the emerging notion of situated affectivity. Starting from a recent taxonomy of cognitive artefacts, I propose a taxonomy of material affective scaffolds (material objects that we use to support, shape and more generally regulate our affective states). I distinguish representational material affective scaffolds (divided into iconic, indexical and symbolic ones) from nonrepresentational ones (psychoactive and sensory ones). I conclude by pointing out that the resulting taxonomy is based not only on properties of objects but also on the user’s stance towards objects, which in turn depends on other contextual factors.
Listening to Pablo García Baena
Notes on the Translation of Rumore occulto
Authors: Mistrorigo Alessandro
Published: December 2020

The article focuses on the Spanish poet Pablo García Baena’s first Italian anthology, Rumore occulto, published by Passigli Editori in 2018. It demonstrates how audio recordings can inform translation process especially when dealing with poetry. By collecting and examining specific recordings where García Baena reads aloud some of his poems, the study shows in what way this author uses prosodic tools as caesura and enjambment to modify the versification of his poems. In these specific recordings, translator can listen to how author’s voice rearranges the printed poem and use these variations to reproduce specific metrics and rhythm in the target language too. This type of recordings also helps with semantics; in fact, interpreting the poem following the author’s vocal action on the original text can be beneficial to make a better lexical choice.
Zwischen Trieb und Narzissmus
Authors: Altmeyer Martin
Published: December 2020

Dass die Psyche ein Beziehungsorgan ist, gilt insbesondere für den Fall eines Seitensprungs oder einer Affäre. Denn das »fremde« Objekt, auf das sich unser sexuelles Begehren richtet, erfüllt nicht bloß Trieb-, sondern auch narzisstische Wünsche. Wir fühlen uns von ihm oder von ihr begehrt und – hoffentlich – auch beachtet, bestätigt, anerkannt und geliebt. Diese narzisstische Unterseite der Sexualität jenseits der Suche nach Lustgewinn verweist auf die intersubjektive Dimension des Narzissmus, die Freud schon entdeckt hat: Unter der sexuellen Oberfläche des Fremdgehens verbirgt sich eine Hoffnung auf intersubjektive Resonanz durch eine(n) Dritte(n), was sich für Subjekte als identitätsstiftend erweist. Diese These wird an einem paartherapeutischen Fallbeispiel klinisch illustriert, mit Konzepten der relationalen Psychoanalyse metatheoretisch untermauert und mit einer Zeitdiagnose verknüpft.
Fremdgehen oder fremd gehen: Symptom oder Normalität?
Authors: Maurer Jürgen
Published: December 2020

Fremdgehen ist ein erschütterndes traumatisches Ereignis, welches Paare in der Paartherapie entweder wieder zusammenführt oder in eine unausweichliche Trennung mündet. Die Dialektik zwischen exklusiver Zweisamkeit und potenzieller Öffnung in Richtung Dritter und eines überindividuellen Dritten schafft einen Spannungsbogen, welcher als Nottriangulierung zum Fremdgehen führt oder aber der Beziehung Lebendigkeit verleiht. Im Gegensatz zur Abnutzungshypothese wird die Entdialektisierung zwischen Vertrautheit und Begehren hier als Abwehrvorgang des bedrohlichen Begehrens begriffen.
Die ersten drei Lebensjahre: emotionale, kognitive und soziale Entwicklung
Authors: Butzmann Erika
Published: December 2020

Die frühe Entwicklung wird gesellschaftspolitisch derzeit fast ausschließlich unter dem Aspekt der kognitiven Bildung betrachtet, um die frühe Krippenbetreuung zu legitimieren. Diese Sichtweise wird jedoch dem Kind in seiner körperlichen und seelischen Verletzbarkeit nicht gerecht. Mit der Darstellung der emotionalen, kognitiven und sozialen Entwicklung in den ersten drei Lebensjahren wird im Einzelnen aufgezeigt, dass eine sichere Eltern-Kind-Bindung die Voraussetzung ist für die Bildungsfähigkeit des Kindes im umfassenden Sinne. Die besonderen Entwicklungsmerkmale werden anschließend auf die frühe Krippenbetreuung bezogen, um deutlich zu machen, in welchen Bereichen sich Entwicklungsrisiken ergeben.

Authors: Geist Gisela
Published: December 2020

In diesem Artikel geht es um grundlegende Reifungsschritte eines Kindes, die ganz besonders in den ersten drei Lebensjahren auf Beziehung angewiesen sind. Es wird deutlich, dass ein Kind auf sichere Bindungserfahrungen angewiesen ist, um mit einer positiven emotionalen Grundstruktur als stabiler Lebensbasis seine Potenziale für ein gelingendes Leben bestmöglich entfalten zu können. Nach der Beschreibung einiger Grundlagen der Bindungsforschung wird besonders auf die Identitätsund Autonomieentwicklung eingegangen. Dabei wird näher beschrieben, wie beispielsweise ein gutes Selbstwertgefühl, ein eigenes Stressund Affektregulations-System, Sozialkompetenz sowie Interesse und Motivation zu lernen veranlagt werden können. Des Weiteren wird ein Blick auf die derzeitige Situation in Krippen geworfen und einige damit einhergehende Anpassungsleistungen und Verhaltensmuster von Kindern aus tiefenpsychologischer Sicht beleuchtet mit deren teilweise langfristigen Folgen.
Arbeitsbedingungen von Kinderkrippen-Erzieherinnen in Bayern – was Erzieherinnen und Kindern Stress macht
Authors: Sulz Serge K. D. , Walter Alfred , Sedlacek Florian
Published: December 2020

Im Versuch, repräsentative Daten zum Stress von Kinderkrippen-Erzieherinnen zu erhalten, wurden Kinderkrippen in Bayern angeschrieben, deren Adressen vom Bayerischen Landesamt für Statistik stammten. 205 Erzieherinnen, die in Kinderkrippen mit Kindern unter drei Jahren arbeiten, haben den Online-Fragebogen vollständig ausgefüllt. Mehr als dreiviertel der Erzieherinnen berichten über zu viel Stress, mit dessen Bewältigung sie allein gelassen werden. Zugleich geben sie an, dass sie nicht über genügend Stressbewältigungsstrategien verfügen und deshalb nicht ausreichend Selbstfürsorge betreiben können. Sie sind ganz und gar damit beschäftigt, dafür zu sorgen, dass es ihren Kindern gut geht und diese sich wohl fühlen. Sie würden sich sehr gern dem einzelnen Kind mehr zuwenden, wenn es ihre Arbeitsbelastung zulassen würde. Aber auch die gute Zusammenarbeit im Team ist ihnen sehr wichtig. Sie würden sich zu all dem in der Lage sehen, wenn es ihnen ermöglicht werden würde.

Introduction. Studies indicate the high pathogenetic significance of the immune component in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of the study is a comparative assessment of immunological parameters in workers of petrochemical production with varying degrees of imbalance in lipid metabolism and the development of the atherosclerotic process. Materials and methods. Men working at an oil production enterprise in the Perm Region were examined. The observation group consisted of oil production operators with a diagnosis of atherosclerosis, the comparison group - with dyslipidemia syndrome. To determine the parameters of lipid metabolism, the results of a biochemical blood test were used. CD-immunogram parameters were identified by flow cytometry. Specific antibodies to benzene were determined by the allergosorbent method. Results. The results of a comparative study of fat metabolism confirmed violations of the physiological ratio of lipids in the blood of oil production workers, which were expressed in a significant imbalance in the levels of lipidogram. There was an increased level of specific IgG antibodies to benzene in the observation group in relation to the comparison group. An imbalance of cellular immunity was found, which was characterized by signs of indicators activation of cellular differentiation clusters. Conclusions. Studies of immune system compartments demonstrate excessive activation of cellular and humoral immunity in oil production workers under the influence of a combination of harmful production factors. The simultaneously formed imbalance of lipid metabolism is associated with various degrees of clinical manifestation of atherosclerotic disorders, with the influence of harmful production factors, aggressiveness of cellular and humoral immunity, and smoking.

Authors: Derevnina A. V. , Avagyan S. A.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Industrial carcinogens are one of the causes leading to malignancy of epithelial neoplasms of the skin. The aim of study to assess the importance of conducting dermatoscopic research methods during periodic medical examinations of workers with industrial carcinogens. Materials and methods. 108 employees of the enterprise of Moscow were examined at periodic medical examinations of KPO FSBSI Izmerov Research Institute of Occupational Health. According to the special assessment of working conditions for harmful factors and types of work, a contingent of 60 people who had contact with industrial carcinogens and 48 people who did not have contact with industrial factors was identified. A complex of clinical-anamnestic and diagnostic methods was performed. Clinical research-interview of the patient, study of the patient's medical history, complaints, heredity, Constitution, professional activity, skin type and harmful effects; duration of existence and dynamics of changes in the size of the neoplasm. Visual examination of the patient's skin under natural and side lighting using a magnifying glass with 7x magnification. Physical examination of the primary skin tumor: the shape, color, size, and boundaries of the neoplasm were preliminarily evaluated. Epiluminescent surface microscopy (dermatoscopy) of each suspected pigmented neoplasm was performed using a Heine Delta 20 Dermatoscope (Heine Optotechnik, Germany). During dermatoscopy, in order to make the surface layers of the skin more transparent, oil was applied to the surface of the neoplasm. Digital photos during dermatoscopy were taken using a Nikon D 3100 18-55 II Kit digital camera, which was connected to the Dermatoscope by a Nikon UR-E15 adapter ring. Industrial carcinogens are one of the causes leading to malignancy of epithelial neoplasms of the skin. Results. According to the results of the study in a group of patients, it was found that workers who had contact with industrial carcinogens, epithelial skin neoplasms were much more common and more common at a young age (from 18 to 39 years), compared with patients who did not have contact with carcinogens at work. It was also revealed that epithelial neoplasms of the skin are most often diagnosed with longer work experience. It is noted that in patients who have contact with industrial carcinogens, even with work experience of up to 10 years, epithelial skin neoplasms are more often detected. Conclusions. There are good reasons to believe that exposure to industrial carcinogenic factors significantly increases the risk of developing skin neoplasms. The use of dermatoscopic diagnostic methods will allow timely detection of benign skin neoplasms in persons who have contact with industrial carcinogens during preventive medical examinations and thereby reduce the risk of malignant neoplasms.

Assessment of exposure of electric and magnetic fields of industrial frequency on overhead power lines with voltage of 500 and 750 kV
Authors: Konshina Tatyana A.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Certain types of work in the vicinity of overhead power lines may be accompanied by prolonged presence of personnel during the work shift in areas where the maximum permissible levels of electric and magnetic fields of industrial frequency are exceeded. The aim of study is a comprehensive theoretical and instrumental assessment of the exposure of electric and magnetic fields of industrial frequency in places where personnel may stay when working near overhead power lines with a voltage of 500 and 750 kV. Materials and methods. The measurement points were determined using a matrix estimation method, taking into account the location of phases and sanitary protection zones of overhead power lines. The development and calculation of numerical models were carried out in the three-dimensional modeling environment SEMCAD X 14.8.6. Results. As a result of instrumental assessment of electric and magnetic fields of industrial frequency, places with exceeding the maximum permissible levels of the electric field of industrial frequency for a work shift were identified, which indicates the need to limit the time spent by personnel without the use of personal protective equipment. At the same time, no excess of the maximum permissible levels of the industrial frequency magnetic field was detected. Conclusions. The obtained numerical models of 500 and 750 kV overhead transmission lines when evaluating the levels of electric and magnetic fields of industrial frequency showed compliance with the data obtained during field measurements. This allows further research to assess the exposure of personnel performing work without removing voltage on overhead power lines of 500 and 750 kV.

Introduction. The article presents research materials on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on labor activity, conducted during the period of active development of the epidemic spread around the world. The aim of study is to analyze the labor activity of employees during the pandemic, taking into account psychophysiological indicators. Materials and methods. Comparative analysis of questionnaire data (used the questionnaire developed by the teachers of the Department "Management of safety in technosphere" Russian University of transport) railway workers during a pandemic COVID-19, considered the issues of psychological state, but also studied a stress level of employees and predicting the impact of a pandemia on the state of mental health of railway workers. 50 female guides took part in the survey, most of them were women (about 70%) with continuous work experience in this profession. Results. Guides generally adequately assess the health risk of COVID-19 exposure. However, there are several people who "underestimate the risk of exposure to the factor" (about 20%), and their number has increased during the period of lifting the quarantine. Comparative analysis showed that during the quarantine period, employees felt psychoemotional stress, increased the number of anxieties, depression, and nervous disorders. The obtained data confirm the expediency of further research in this direction, the need to normalize the work of employees in the context of the development of the pandemia and the preservation of their health. Conclusions. It is necessary to wait and make every effort to fight COVID-19. It is also necessary to control the psychological state, if you ignore the fear of employees that they may become infected, then this may open up diseases of a different nature.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. The increase in the number of emergency situations (ES) in medical institutions in Russia actualizes the study of the state of this problem in different territories in order to optimize regional programs for the prevention of occupational diseases of medical workers, including hemocontact infections. The aim of study is to identify possible reasons for the lack of occupational morbidity of hemocontact infections in the Saratov Region. Materials and methods. To determine the frequency, types and possible causes of ES, the procedure for their registration, and the awareness of medical workers about the algorithm of actions in case of their development, 82 doctors in the specialties of obstetrician-gynecologist and surgeon (39 and 43 people, respectively) were interviewed at a multi-specialty hospital in Saratov (continuous sampling method). Results. The presence of ES in the practice of the majority of doctors surveyed (59%) was revealed, and 19% of respondents had multiple as (5 or more times). Most often, as occurs during the transfer and reception of acute surgical instruments. Among the most likely risk factors for developing as are high workload, emotional overload, and working at night. A quarter of aces do not register in the injury log, which is due to lack of time (42%) and the log itself (25%), ignorance of the need for this action (17%), fear of dismissal (8%). Conclusions. One of the main possible reasons for the lack of professional incidence of hemocontact infections is the lack of awareness of doctors about the algorithm of action in the event of an emergency at the workplace, in some cases-the lack of conditions for the implementation of this algorithm.

Authors: Perov Sergey Yu. , Belaya Olga V.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Monitoring and ensuring safe operating conditions of modern base stations for occupational and general public exposure is relevant with the use of methods for measuring electromagnetic fields, which allow to assess the contribution of different sources to the overall level of the electromagnetic background, taking into account the dynamic features of base stations and the spectral electromagnetic characteristics. The aim of study is the levels of electromagnetic fields assessment from modern base stations using broadband and selective measurement methods, as well as the possibility of predicting the worst exposure conditions. Materials and methods. The levels of electromagnetic fields from base stations according to the LTE2600 standard were evaluated at the maximum transmission traffic (laboratory mearements) and at real variable traffic (field measurements). For broadband measurements, the power density (PD) was estimated, for selective measurements, the PD level in the LTE frequency channel (frequency-selective measurements) and the PD level of the reference signal (code-selective measurements) were evaluated. The theoretical maximum PD level was calculated from the maximum value of the reference signal. Results. When simulating the maximum intensity of data traffic, the PD level in the LTE channel was 94.51-101.39% of the calculated maximum value. According to field measurements, the values of electromagnetic field levels obtained from frequency-selective measurements in the LTE frequency channel were less than the corresponding values estimated from the results of broadband measurements, and were no more than 25% of the theoretical maximum. Conclusions. The use of selective approach and measurement methods made it possible to estimate the maximum possible contribution of a single source to the overall level of the electromagnetic background and to predict the worst conditions for human exposure.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. It is known that the influence of lead and cadmium is a risk factor for the health of workers in the copper smelting industry. The relationship between exposure to these metals and the subsequent development of diseases of the urinary system, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular and nervous system of a person was revealed. The study of the effects of lead and cadmium in an experiment on some organs of laboratory animals using the cytological method of smears-prints with morphometric analysis as an Express diagnostic method expands the possibilities of studying the toxic effects of heavy metal salts in various concentrations. Materials and methods. The experiment was conducted on outbred male rats (24 individuals in total) with an initial weight of 220-225 g, at the age of 3.5 months. 72 cytological preparations of smears-prints of organs (liver, kidneys) and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) of rats were studied. The smears were painted with a ready-made Leishman paint solution. Cytological features were studied in a Carl Zeiss Primo Star light binocular microscope with a USCMOS video camera imaging system at magnification of 100x and 1000x. In liver and kidney morphometry, the count was carried out for 200 cells from each drug, MLN for 100 cells. The data of cytomorphological examination of smears-prints of the liver, kidneys and MLN after exposure to cadmium and lead salts in the experiment were obtained. The main changes in the cellular ratios in preparations with subchronic intraperitoneal intoxication are described. Conclusions. The use of the smear-fingerprint method with cytomorphological assessment of cells in the study of the toxic effects of heavy metal salts allows us to obtain additional data on the activity of the pathological process and plays a role in understanding the mechanisms of exposure in the experiment.

Expounding the Diversity of African Construction of Fertility: the Yorùbá Example
Authors: Ibrahim Fausat Motunrayo
Published: December 2020

While African population dynamics are typically referenced even in global demographic discourses, there is indeed a dearth of interpretive understanding of cultural construction of fertility among African ethnic groups. This article is a report of an ethnologic exploration of indigenous construction of fertility among rural Yorùbá farmers. Farmers were targeted because of their surviving ‘traditionality’ amongst other factors. Findings validate the commonplace assumption underscoring pro-fertile African value for children. More interestingly, findings yielded low-fertility compliant and even neutrality-laden fertility-related Yorùbá cultural construction. Among other things, findings demonstrate that the character of fertility-related Yorùbá construction is adaptive, empathetic and integrative, thereby affirming that the traditional veneration of the fertile is huge but non-sacrosanct.
About the 2004 Family Code of the Kingdom of Morocco
Authors: Rybalkina Inna
Published: December 2020

Contemporaries describe the adoption of the Family Code of Morocco in 2004 as Moroccan women’s “velvet revolution”. One of the most advanced family codes of the Arab-Muslim world was adopted as a result of the complex relationship between the Royal power, Islamic traditionalists, secular parties and women’s associations. It has influenced the reform of similar sections of state legislation in other countries in the region. But it has not yet found its reflection in the works of Russian researchers in social history. The article attempts to consider a brief historical retrospective of the law, the main stages of its adoption and modern problems of its implementation in practice, the feminist movement struggle, the counteraction of powerful Islamic forces and traditional society’s overwhelming public opinion, including Moroccan women’s traditionalist convictions. The reformation of the Code under the influence of international legal documents and declarations was made possible by the country’s achievement of a certain level of the socio-economic basis and socio-political relations.

Prediksi Rating Aplikasi App Store Menggunakan Algoritma Random Forest
Authors: Sandag Green Arther
Published: December 2020

Rating merupakan suatu penilaian yang diberikan oleh user dengan tujuan untuk menilai apakah aplikasi yang digunakan sudah baik atau tidak. Dimana semakin tinggi rating yang diberikan oleh user, berarti user menyukai aplikasi tersebut dan dapat menjadi tolak ukur bagi user yang lain untuk men-download aplikasi tersebut. Saat ini tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa semakin hari semakin banyak aplikasi yang terdapat pada AppStore sehingga tidak memungkinkan bagi user untuk menyeleksi satu persatu aplikasi yang terdapat pada AppStore. Maka dibutuhkan sistem prediksi rating untuk menentukan aplikasi yang tepat berdasarkan rating yang diberikan oleh pengguna terhadap suatu aplikasi, Pada penelitian ini diterapkan teknik data mining untuk melakukan prediksi dengan menggunakan metode Random Forest (RF) untuk mengetahui seberapa banyak pengguna yang kurang menyukai aplikasi-aplikasi yang telah dibuat sebelumnya. Pada metode Random Forest, data maupun atribut diambil secara acak sehingga menghasilkan berbagai model pohon keputusan. Data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Apple’s AppStore dataset. Dataset ini memiliki 7198 rows dan 16 attributes. Dari hasil pengujian yang didapatkan dengan menggunakan metode Random Forest didapati nilai accuracy 86.27%, recall 84.68%, preccission 84.64% dan nilai RMSE 0.313.

This article analyses a form of the empirical Colebrook’s pipe flow friction equation given originally by the Lambert W-function and recently also by the Wright ω-function. These special functions are used to explicitly express the unknown flow friction factor of the Colebrook equation, which is in its classical formulation given implicitly. Explicit approximations of the Colebrook equation based on approximations of the Wright ω-function given by an asymptotic expansion and symbolic regression were analyzed in respect of speed and accuracy. Numerical experiments on 8 million Sobol’s quasi-Monte points clearly show that also both approaches lead to approximately the same complexity in terms of speed of execution in computers. However, the relative error of the developed symbolic regression-based approximations is reduced significantly, in comparison with the classical basic asymptotic expansion. These numerical results indicate promising results of artificial intelligence (symbolic regression) for developing fast and accurate explicit approximations.
The Efficacy of Plant-ionizers in Removing Aerosols for COVID-19 Mitigation
Authors: Suwardi Ady
Published: December 2020

Small size droplets/aerosols are believed to be potentially responsible for COVID-19 transmission in addition to large droplets and surface contamination (fomites). While large droplets and surface contamination can be relatively easier to deal with (i.e. using mask and proper hygiene measures), aerosols present a different challenge due to their ability to remain airborne for a long time. This calls for mitigation measures that can rapidly eliminate the airborne aerosols. Pre-COVID-19, an air ionizer has been touted as an effective tool to eliminate small particulates such as these. In this work, we sought to evaluate the efficacy of a novel plant-based air ionizers in eliminating aerosols. It was found that factors such as the ion concentration, humidity, and ventilation can drastically affect the aerosols removal efficacy. Furthermore, the aerosols removal rate was quantified in terms of ACH (air changes per hour)-equivalent unit, with ACH as high as 12 being achieved by using deploying a plant-based air ionizer in a small isolated office room. Lastly, this work provides an important and timely guidance on the effective deployment of plant ionizers in minimizing the risk of COVID-19 spread via airborne aerosols, especially in poorly-ventilated environment.

Swasta Nulus. https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/mu2fk. https://osf.io/mu2fk (8 January, 2021). =========== ABSTRAK: Makalah ini menampilkan suatu studi kasus linguistik korpus kuantitatif terhadap pasangan verba bahasa Bali anggé/e(n) dan anggo(n), yang secara semantis leksikal sama-sama berarti ‘pakai; gunakan’. Dua aspek yang dikaji meliputi (i) pola ortografis ke(tidak)munculan akhiran nasal pada kedua varian verba yang berbeda vokal akhirnya tersebut, dan (ii) pola kontekstual berdasarkan kolokat khas guna menentukan ragam tingkatan bahasa Bali kedua verba tersebut. Hasil analisis pada aspek pertama menunjukkan asosiasi yang sangat signifikan secara statistik antara jenis vokal akhir dan muncul-tidaknya akhiran nasal yang mengikuti vokal akhir tersebut: anggé/e(n) berasosiasi positif dengan akhiran nasal sedangkan anggo berasosiasi negatif dengan akhiran nasal. Hasil analisis aspek kedua mengindikasikan bahwa anggo(n) secara kuat dicirikan oleh kolokat khas dari ragam bahasa Bali andap (‘bahasa sehari-hari’) sedangkan anggé/e(n) dicirikan oleh kolokat khas dari ragam bahasa Bali alus (‘halus’). Hasil kualitaitf dan kuantitatif berdasarkan data korpus seperti ini diharapkan dapat memperkaya deskripsi leksikografis kedua varian verba tersebut.

Published: December 2020

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on Financial Performance and Company Value in State-Owned Corporation in Indonesia in the era of 4.0 and society 5.0. Research subjects are state-owned corporation listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2013-2017 period. The samples taken are 10 State-Owned Corporation (BUMN) that are included in the criteria. The method used to analyze the relationship between variables in this study is multiple linear regression analysis. Hypothesis test results show that the Independent Board of Commissioners and Audit Committee have an effect on the Return on Assets (ROA) with a significance value of 0.012. The results of testing the second hypothesis Independent commissioners and audit committees have no simultaneous effect on Company Values with a significance value of 0.082. Partially the independent Board of Commissioners has an effect on Return On Assets (ROA) and company value. While the second variable of the Audit Committee does not affect the Return on Assets (ROA) and company value.
The matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) is differentially expressed and down-regulated in metastases to the lymph node and the brain in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the matrix metalloproteinase 2, MMP2 was among the genes whose expression was most different in the metastatic tumor tissues of patients with metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to brain and to the lymph nodes when compared to primary tumors of the breast or normal breast tissue, respectively. We observed significant down-regulation of MMP2 in metastasis to the brain and in metastasis to the lymph nodes. Molecular functions and down-regulation of MMP2 may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the lymph nodes and to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer and these data combined suggest some level of common origin for metastases that reside in the lymph nodes and colonize the brain.
