Short range nucleon correlations studied with electron and photon probes
Authors: MacGregor Ian
Published: February 2020

This paper reviews experimental research into two- and three-body
nucleon-nucleon interactions, carried out by the University of Glasgow
Nuclear Physics research group. A key aim of these studies has been to
elucidate the role of short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations (SRC).
Studies of photon-induced two- and three-nucleon emission reactions from
a range of light nuclei, carried out at the 840 MeV Mainz electron
microtron MAMI-B, have provided detailed information on the contributing
mechanisms. More recent electron scattering studies at the 6.0 GeV
Jefferson Laboratory have probed SRC at high values of
Q^{2}2
and x_{B}B
and suggested a connection between SRC and the EMC effect.
Recent Advances in the Function of the 67 kDa Laminin Receptor and its Targeting for Personalized Therapy in Cancer
Authors: Pesapane Ada , Ragno Pia , Selleri Carmine , Montuori Nunzia
Published: February 2020

The 67 kDa high affinity laminin receptor (67LR) is a non-integrin cell surface receptor for laminin,
the major component of basement membranes. Interactions between 67LR and laminin play a major role in mediating
cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and survival.

67LR derives from homo- or hetero-dimerization of a 37 kDa cytosolic precursor (37LRP), most probably by
fatty acid acylation. Interestingly, 37LRP, also called p40 or OFA/iLR (oncofetal antigen/immature laminin receptor),
is a multifunctional protein with a dual activity in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. In the cytoplasm,
37LRP it is associated with the 40S subunit of ribosome, playing a critical role in protein translation and ribosome
biogenesis while in the nucleus it is tightly associated with nuclear structures, and bound to components of
the cytoskeleton, such as tubulin and actin.

67LR is mainly localized in the cell membrane, concentrated in lipid rafts. Acting as a receptor for laminin is not
the only function of 67LR; indeed, it also acts as a receptor for viruses, bacteria and prions.

67LR expression is increased in neoplastic cells and correlates with an enhanced invasive and metastatic potential.
The primary function of 67LR in cancer is to promote tumor cell adhesion to basement membranes, the first
step in the invasion-metastasis cascade. Thus, 67LR is overexpressed in neoplastic cells as compared to their
normal counterparts and its overexpression is considered a molecular marker of metastatic aggressiveness in
cancer of many tissues, including breast, lung, ovary, prostate, stomach, thyroid and also in leukemia and lymphoma.
Thus, inhibiting 67LR binding to laminin could be a feasible approach to block cancer progression.

Here, we review the current understanding of the structure and function of this molecule, highlighting its role in
cancer invasion and metastasis and reviewing the various therapeutic options targeting this receptor that could
have a promising future application.

Authors: Mohammed Hamdoon A.
Published: February 2020

Background:

Suaeda is a halophytic genus belonging to the Amaranthaceae family and
can survive in the high salted marsh areas of the world. Suaeda plants can biosynthesize natural
substances with powerful antioxidant activity and are considered as a renewable source of energy,
food, and edible oil for a larger number of populations living in the harsh environment with high
salinity and drought conditions. These plants also meet folk and alternative medicines' needs.

Methods:

The review encompasses available scientific literature related to folk medicinal uses of
Suaeda plants, their nutritional values, and chemical constituents. In addition, the biological trials
applied for the Suaeda plants are also part of the review. The review covers the researches from
major science literature search engines and other sites representing scientific literature, i.e., Scifinder,
Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google. The searches were programmed
on the advance options available in the search engines and are latest up to November
2019. The searches were exhaustive and rechecked for accuracy.

Conclusion:

The study summarizes the uses of Suaeda plants as a remedy for various ailments due
to their contents from the polyphenols and flavonoids. The comparatively large amounts of fixed
oils, minerals, and vitamins in Suaeda plants have also made them potential renewable sources for
foods.
Physicochemical Assessment of Branded and Generic Linezolid Injection from Different Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
Authors: Zhang Su-hua , Wei Shan-shan , Zhu Zhen-yu , Chen Ying , Cai Hua-lin , Zhang Bi-kui
Published: February 2020

Background:

Up to date, generic linezolid injections produced by Chinese manufacturers
were not widely used in clinics in China. Quality evaluation of linezolid injections produced in China
is a prerequisite, which has rarely been performed.

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate the quality of branded and generic injections from different
manufacturers and to provide a basis for quality control.

Methods:

In this study, the content of linezolid, related impurities and enantiomer of linezolid were
determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The content of glucose was determined by the
iodine method. The insoluble particles and visible and sub-visible particles were determined by light
blockage and lamp test, respectively. Osmotic pressure was determined by the freezing point depression
method. The standard solution control method was used to check the color of the injection. Linezolid
injections from different manufacturers were evaluated uniformly.

Results:

No significant difference was found in the content of linezolid, glucose, related impurities,
visible particles, insoluble particles, pH value, and solution color between branded and generic drugs
from different manufacturers in China.

Conclusion:

The quality of samples from different manufacturers is consistent. Although the physicochemical
similarity does not guarantee the bioequivalence of studied branded and generic linezolid injections,
the results provide references for further bioequivalence study. Generic injections offer more
affordable treatment options for patients with infections than expensive branded drugs.
Comparisons of MicroRNA Set Enrichment Analysis Tools on Cancer De-regulated miRNAs from TCGA Expression Datasets
Authors: Li Jianwei , Liu Leibo , Cui Qinghua , Zhou Yuan
Published: February 2020

Background:

De-regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is closely related to many complex
diseases, including cancers. In The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), hundreds of differentially
expressed miRNAs are stored for each type of cancer, which are hard to be intuitively interpreted.
To date, several miRNA set enrichment tools have been tailored to predict the potential disease
associations and functions of de-regulated miRNAs, including the miRNA Enrichment Analysis and
Annotation tool (miEAA) and Tool for Annotations of human MiRNAs (TAM1.0 &TAM 2.0).
However, independent benchmarking of these tools is warranted to assess their effectiveness and
robustness, and the relationship between enrichment analysis results and the prognosis significance
of cancers.

Methods:

Based on differentially expressed miRNAs from expression profiles in TCGA, we
performed a series of tests and a comprehensive comparison of the enrichment analysis results of
miEAA, TAM 1.0 and TAM 2.0. The work focused on the performance of the three tools, disease
similarity based on miRNA-disease associations from the enrichment analysis results, the
relationship between the overrepresented miRNAs from enrichment analysis results and the
prognosis significance of cancers.

Results:

The main results show that TAM 2.0 is more likely to identify the regulatory disease’s
functions of de-regulated miRNA; it is feasible to calculate disease similarity based on enrichment
analysis results of TAM 2.0; and there is weak positive correlation between the occurrence
frequency of miRNAs in the TAM 2.0 enrichment analysis results and the prognosis significance of
the cancer miRNAs.

Conclusion:

Our comparison results not only provide a reference for biomedical researchers to
choose appropriate miRNA set enrichment analysis tools to achieve their purpose but also
demonstrate that the degree of overrepresentation of miRNAs could be a supplementary indicator of
the disease similarity and the prognostic effect of cancer miRNAs.
Deployment of Cost-Efficient Cloud Integrated WOBAN: A Cluster- Based Approach
Authors: Bhatt Uma Rathore , Chouhan Nitin , Marmat Antim Bala , Upadhyay Raksha
Published: February 2020

Aim:

To deploy Cloud Components in a cloud integrated WOBAN in a cost-efficient
manner.

Background:

Wireless-Optical Broadband Access Network (WOBAN) is a network which provides
higher bandwidth and better stability at lower cost to the users. Integration of cloud services over traditional
WOBAN called as CIW (cloud integrated WOBAN) increases existing load carrying capacity
and available bandwidth. In CIW, Cloud Components (CCs) are integrated as storage components,
servers etc. within WMN of WOBAN. These cloud components may follow distributed or centralized
architectures. Availability of these low-cost and easy-to-deploy CCs make CIW technologically
feasible and practically deployable architecture.

Objective:

The proposed algorithm eliminates redundant ONUs and optimizes number of CCs while
ensuring network connectivity and cloud services to all users.

Methods:

Extensive simulation is carried out to implement proposed work. A simulation model and
code is developed in MATLAB to get the results for existing and proposed algorithms for varying
number of variables such as number of ONUs, wireless routers, grid sizes etc.
Result: We compare the performance of proposed algorithm with existing algorithm for varying grid
sizes as well as number of wireless routers. Simulation results show the worthiness of proposed
work.

Conclusion:

Optimization of cloud components in CIW is one of the important issues as it affects
overall network deployment cost. Considering this issue, we proposed a cluster based approach to
optimize number of network components such as CCs and ONUs in the network. Simulation results
show that cluster based approach is efficient as compared to existing approach for optimizing CCs.
Hence proposed solution offers a suitable candidature for deploying a cost efficient CIW.

Methodological Approaches to Regional Socio-Economic System Management
Authors: Averchenkova E. A.
Published: February 2020

Purpose of research. This paper is a description of the methodology for regional socio-economic system management based on the principles and concepts of management theory. 

Methods. A methodology for regional socio-economic system managing has been developed, taking into account the impact of National projects and the influence of the external environment. The methodology consists of six stages and fourteen techniques that allow describing the regional socio-economic system management in terms and tools of the management theory: the region itself is considered as an object of management experiencing a controlling action formed under some affecting influence. The methodology also assumes the formalization of a negative feedback system and a control system in the developed model of regional socio-economic system management. 

Results. The methodology of managing the regional socio-economic system can be used in the management process. Those who make management decisions at the regional level usually rely on their own professional skills, past experience, and intuition. However, the heuristic approach to regional management can be extended by the capabilities of the developed methodology, the practical implementation of which can be presented as a decision support system. This will allow regional governments to improve the effectiveness of management decisions based on monitoring the state of socio-economic systems. 

Conclusion. The methodology for managing the regional socio-economic system provides a complete management cycle: from the formalization of basic concepts to the description of the control and feedback system. The information implementation of the methodology is presented in the form of an automated product – a decision support system - that can be used in the formation of an automated workplace for civil servants.

Conclusion. Application of developed device design will make it possible to eliminate disadvantages of existing devices for additive forming, to ensure accuracy of final link positioning of forming system for additive equipment, to exclude possibility of rigid consumable material jamming, thus expanding application field of additive technologies.
Influence of the Method of Producing High-Carbon Tool Steel U10A on the Physical, Mechanical, Technological and Corrosion Properties
Authors: Sergeev N. N. , Sergeev A. N. , Kutepov S. N. , Minaev I. V. , Gvozdev A. E. , Ageev E. V. , Klement'yev D. S. , Kruglyakov O. V.
Published: February 2020

Purpose of research is study of the effect of the quality of the original charge on the complex of physical, mechanical, technological and corrosion properties of high-carbon tool steel U10A.

Methods. High-carbon tool steel U10A, smelted at Tulachermet PJSC using metallized sponge iron pellets, scrap metal and a billet obtained by the fluidized slag blanket, has been chosen as the object of study. Steel was smelted in a three-ton arc furnace, subjected to out-of-furnace vacuum treatment in a ladle, cast into billets with a cross section of 280 × 320 mm and cooled slowly together with the furnace. Then, the obtained blanks were forged into a square of 150 × 150 mm (for making dies) and 40 × 40 mm (for samples) with cooling in sand and subsequent annealing. The experimental study of the chemical composition of U10A steel melts was determined by the method of photoelectric spectral analysis using an atomic emission spectrometer SA 2000 according to GOST 18895-97. 

Results. It has been found that the use of pure original charge has a positive effect on the properties of the melted metal. Steel U10A, smelted on the original charge, is not inferior in strength characteristics to steel on OMSH, surpassing the latter in terms of its plastic properties and especially in toughness. It is shown that steel smelted on the original charge is characterized by a lower content of micro-impurities, has less resistance to austenite decomposition and lower hardenability. It is revealed that, due to the lower stability of austenite, steel melted on the original charge must have a higher critical hardening rate, which should be taken into account when choosing heat treatment modes. It is established that the long-term strength of U10A steel in a medium that causes hydrogen cracking, largely depends on the heat treatment conditions and on the purity of the steel. Cleaner steel has a higher resistance to hydrogen cracking and, therefore, greater durability during operation.

Conclusion. The results can be used to create resource-saving processes for processing metal alloys and composite materials.

Methods.One of the main research methods is the creation of an experimental model of the mechanism of a single information and computing network, combining various government departments located within the same administrative building, which allows working simultaneously with distributed or centralized applications, databases and other services, as well as centralized information risk management security. The next research method is the analysis and study of the principle of operation of information resources, information systems, databases, and the increase in the number of domain users if they are combined into a single data transfer network. The interaction and effectiveness of personnel, a specialized unit based on one government agency, ensuring the regular functioning of the network and the necessary level of information security for all government departments.

Results. As a result, an economic effect is achieved by eliminating the acquisition of duplicate software and hardware information protection, increasing the efficiency of using unified information services, and creating a centralized structural unit that uses risk management tools and makes information security management decisions based on the principles of system analysis , structuring method and expert survey methods. The results of the study have been used in solving problems of improving the information security management system of the authorities of Republic of Tyva.

Conclusion.We have developed the original information technology architecture of the information security management system and centralized use of information technologies for the government of Republic of Tyva. The distinctive features of the structure of software tools for the centralized approach are the multi-agent implementation of the control elements of the decision support system and the integration of various types of security management models into a single complex.

The Relationship between Accounting Frauds and Economic Fluctuations: A Case of Project Based Organizations in UAE
Authors: Mustafa Shatha , Khan Dr. Faisal
Published: February 2020

Purpose: the purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of the rate of accounting frauds (misappropriation of assets, fraudulent financial reporting), and how they occur in different business cycles (economic fluctuations). Further, it aims at exploring the relationship between factors influencing the economic fluctuations and the level of accounting frauds. Design/methodology approach: a qualitative research design used semi-structured interviews with a group of internal controllers and external auditors from the big four auditing companies in addition to other Leading and certified audit offices in UAE in order to identify how the factors influencing the GDP fluctuations could affect the degree of accounting frauds.Findings: GDP components that influence economic fluctuations associate with the accounting frauds rate, especially fraudulent financial reporting. Economic factors including the GDP, unemployment and inflation are very important in the steadiness of an economy. The probable drop of GDP, or raise in unemployment level, high rates of inflation are positively influence the occurrences of accounting frauds.Research limitation/implications: There are many ECONOMIC roots of business cycles and economic fluctuations such as variations in trading strategy, warfare, inflation caused by governmental finance or fears. But these represent non-economic data that is hard to be rationalized by economic theory. Typical macroeconomic theory inclines to illuminate business cycles by a number of mistake and emphasis on modifying this mistake either by dynamic strategy or by supporting a separate strategy (Raudino, 2016). Thus, it is very hard to capture all the factors influencing the economic fluctuations. However, most of the studies in the literature considers the GDP as the most important factors, in addition to inflation and unemployment. Practical implication: This study contributes to both economic and accounting research by proving findings from an investigation of the elements modifying the economical fluctuation and how these fluctuations might impact the rate of accounting Frauds (AF), with implications for economists and financiers, shareholders, stakeholders, stockholders and external inspectors of auditing companies an additional visions about the audit risk in PBOs at altered stages of GDP. Originality/value: This study contributes to both economic and accounting research by exploratory research into the GDP fluctuation, inflation, and unemployment and accounting frauds rate.
Lisboa y el fin de las teodiceas. El mal entre la confianza y el dolor
Authors: García Mancilla Carlos David
Published: February 2020

El presente texto realiza un breve recorrido a través de distintas posturas filosóficas que sostienen o critican teodiceas en la modernidad. En cada una de ellas se ensalza el papel de la fe entendida como confianza filial y el mal físico o dolor, y la forma en que esa dualidad adquiere un papel de importancia para tales posturas de pensamiento. Se señala la confrontación entre las teodiceas y el dolor como una forma en que las estructuras generales del mundo —como lo son las teodiceas— se enfrentan con el individuo.
Organización y funcionamiento del sistema nacional de protección civil a tres décadas de su creación
Authors: Vera Cortés Gabriela
Published: February 2020

Las estrategias implementadas por el gobierno mexicano en relación con los desastres se enfocan hacia la atención de los fenómenos naturales y los preparativos para el desastre, pero no en su mitigación. Este trabajo analiza las distintas perspectivas de acción de los agentes sociales y sus limitaciones. Después de los terremotos de 1985 se funda el Sistema Nacional de Protección Civil y el Centro de Prevención de Desastres; sin embargo, predomina la visión del desastre natural inevitable, sin la consideración de las condiciones sociales que producen graves trastornos. Falta atender las propuestas local e internacional sobre los enfoques del desastre: la defensa y protección civil, el manejo de emergencias y la gestión integral de riesgo.
De la geografía política clásica a la geopolítica crítica
Authors: Talledos Sánchez Édgar
Published: February 2020

En este trabajo se lleva a cabo un breve acercamiento al trayecto de la geografía política clásica y contemporánea y de la geopolítica clásica y contemporánea para entender las confusiones y confluencias que se dieron en estos saberes. El objetivo que se persigue es leer las fuentes principales del pensamiento de la geografía política y la geopolítica para así entender las bases de la propuesta de cada autor y conocer el largo trayecto de la relación entre geografía y política que se ha presentado desde el siglo xix. En este ensayo no se retoma a todos los autores que han escrito sobre geografía política y geopolítica, sino a los que han sido los más representativos a nivel mundial en la discusión de geografía política y geopolítica.
De la planeación indicativa a la estratégica. Otra perspectiva desde la gestión urbana
Authors: Olivera Martínez Patricia Eugenia
Published: February 2020

El ejercicio de la planeación urbana indicativa orientada por el Estado se ha agotado desde la difusión de la nueva economía global y la participación de agentes sociales que priorizan la competitividad del lugar, a partir del arreglo de intereses de las capas altas del Estado y los privados, para la organización productiva, priorizando la rentabilidad sobre el bienestar y la equidad social. La ordenación del territorio, como práctica que integra la composición y diferencias socio políticas, encuentra en la gestión neoliberal la frontera de la integración de políticas sociales y sólo algunas la franquean.La gestión urbana se entiende como una estrategia de análisis de las prácticas de actores históricos con base local y también de otras escalas de procedencia, en el marco de las formaciones de la ciudad y de procesos coyunturales, a partir de los cuales se manifiestan estructuraciones de poder que se traducen en las políticas que emanan de sus intereses, acuerdos y alianzas, y que se legitiman dificultosa o llanamente y se imprimen en los espacios urbanos, con cierta temporalidad. Este trabajo se propone mostrar que el estudio de la gestión urbana permite la comprensión de los procesos que se ponen en juego en las estrategias de acción, sus cambios y orientaciones, las que pueden ser divergentes o no en temporalidades definidas, y transforman las espacialidades urbanas. Se presentan elementos metodológicos para el estudio de la gestión urbana, considerando como eje central las estructuras de poder, para el abordaje de los distintos proyectos urbanos.
