Authors: Monge Pérez José Eladio , Chacón Padilla Karla , Loría Coto Michelle
Published: June 2021

Introducción: El pepino es una hortaliza importante en Costa Rica, y los criterios de selección de rendimiento se estudian mejor mediante el análisis de coeficiente de sendero, que divide los coeficientes de correlación en componentes de efectos directos e indirectos. Objetivo: Obtener un análisis de sendero para el rendimiento del pepino en invernadero. Métodos: El cultivo se manejó con fertirrigación, en sustrato de fibra de coco, entre enero y mayo 2015. Se evaluaron siete variables. Resultados: Se obtuvo una correlación positiva y altamente significativa entre el rendimiento y el número de frutos por planta (r=0,39**). El principal efecto directo positivo sobre el rendimiento fue ejercido por número de frutos por planta (coeficiente de sendero-CS=1,75), seguido por peso del fruto (CS=1,44), diámetro del fruto (CS=0,17) y longitud del fruto (CS=0,06), mientras que los máximos efectos indirectos positivos sobre el rendimiento fueron ejercidos por longitud del fruto (CS=1,31), diámetro del fruto (CS=0,95) y porcentaje de sólidos solubles totales (CS=0,89) a través de peso del fruto. Por otra parte, la única variable que ejerció un efecto directo negativo sobre el rendimiento fue porcentaje de sólidos solubles totales (CS=-0,01). Conclusiones: En estas condiciones, número de frutos por planta y peso del fruto fueron las variables principales que contribuyeron con el rendimiento.
Transforming traditional business into online: The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on consumer behavior
Authors: Bytyçi Shaip , Shala Venet , Ziberi Besime , Myftaraj Ervin
Published: June 2021

COVID-19 pandemic well-known worldwide for its serious health consequences is having a profound effect on every sphere of life. Taking into consideration that COVID-19 is harming the labor market and economic activity in general, we also consider that this situation is affecting the personal consumption expenditures in case of Kosovo (Ziberi, Rexha, & Gashi, 2021). The main aim of this paper is to analyze how the customers’ behavior will shift the traditional business to an online one in case of Western Balkan countries with special emphasis on Kosovo, North Macedonia and Albania. The study considered the mixed methods using the questionnaire as a method for primary data collection in a random sample of citizens from countries in the analysis. The questionnaire was distributed online using social media in a sample of 1250 respondents. The paper uses the SPSS software for data analysis and hypotheses testing. The study comes to the conclusion that buying behavior is changing due to the imposed measures by governance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the confidence in online shopping has increased significantly which is a good base for further recommendations for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to start reworking selling strategies and to shift their activity from purely traditional to hybrid one — traditional and online — promoting so better the traditional business. Our findings also are in line with a study by Bytyçi (2020) who stated that the consumers in case of the Republic of Kosovo prefer online shopping for one main reason — time loss reduction.

Authors: Anaya-Rojas Jaime , Bassar Ronald , Matthews Blake , Goldberg Joshua , Reznick David , Travis Joseph
Published: June 2021

In communities structured by body size, coexistence can occur through
combinations of ontogenetic changes in competitive ability and dietary
niche. Using stable isotopes, we examined ontogenetic niche shifts in
Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) and killifish (Rivulus hartii)
in three types of natural communities (both species with predators, KGP;
both without predators, KG; killifish only, KO) and four experimental KG
communities, initiated with KGP guppies and KO killifish between 13 and
45 years ago. In all communities, killifish occupied higher trophic
positions and changed their diet (δ^13 C) with body size. Only KGP
guppies displayed an ontogenetic niche shift. The KG guppies displayed a
significant difference in trophic niche from KGP guppies, a character
displacement that can facilitate coexistence with killifish. In the
experimental communities, the guppy trophic niche was intermediate
between those in KGP and KG communities, indicating that evolution has
driven the niche shift in KG guppies.

Objectives: Myocardial injury during active coronavirus disease-2019
(COVID-19) infection is well described however, its persistence during
recovery is unclear. We assessed left ventricle (LV) global longitudinal
strain (GLS) using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in COVID-19
recovered patients and studied its correlation with various
parameters.Methods: A total of 134 subjects within 30-45 days post
recovery from COVID-19 infection and normal LV ejection fraction were
enrolled. Routine blood investigations, inflammatory markers (on
admission) and comprehensive echocardiography including STE were done
for all. Results: Of the 134 subjects, 121 (90.3%) were symptomatic
during COVID-19 illness and were categorized as mild: 61 (45.5%),
moderate: 50 (37.3%) and severe: 10 (7.5%) COVID-19 illness.
Asymptomatic COVID-19 infection was reported in 13 (9.7%) patients.
Subclinical LV and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction were seen in 40
(29.9%) and 14 (10.5%) patients respectively. Impaired LVGLS was
reported in 1 (7.7%), 8 (13.1%), 22 (44%) and 9 (90%) subjects with
asymptomatic, mild, moderate and severe disease respectively. LVGLS was
significantly lower in patients recovered from severe illness (mild: -21
± 3.4%; moderate: -18.1 ± 6.9%; severe: -15.5 ± 3.1%; P <
0.0001). Subjects with reduced LVGLS had significantly higher
interleukin-6 (P < 0.0001), C-reactive protein (P = 0.001),
lactate dehydrogenase (P = 0.009) and serum ferritin (P = 0.03) levels
during index admission. Conclusions: Subclinical LV dysfunction was seen
in nearly a third of recovered COVID-19 patients while 10.5% had RV
dysfunction. Our study suggests a need for closer follow-up among
COVID-19 recovered subjects to elucidate long-term cardiovascular
outcomes.

POTENTIAL INAPPROPRIATE USE OF STRONG OPIOID ANALGESICS IN CANCER OUTPATIENTS DURING THE LAST YEAR OF LIFE IN FRANCE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS
Authors: CHU Thanh Hang , Rueter Manuela , Palmaro Aurore , Lapeyre-Mestre Maryse
Published: June 2021

Aim: A better knowledge of opioid prescribing patterns would help to
identify areas of potential improvement in cancer pain management. This
study aimed to identify potential inappropriate use (PIU) of strong
opioid analgesics in cancer outpatients in their last year of life.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of cancer patients dead between 2011 and
2014 and who were exposed as outpatient to a strong opioid analgesic in
the last year of life was identified in the “Echantillon Généraliste de
Bénéficiaires” (a 1/97th random sample of the French general
population). Prescribing patterns of strong opioids were analyzed and
PIU was defined by at least one of these criteria: overlapping
prescriptions; contraindicated prescriptions; lack of laxatives;
potential drug interactions; prescription in patients hospitalized for
opioid-related disorders. Factors associated with PIU were investigated
through a multiple logistic regression model. Results: One third of the
2,236 patients (median age 72 years (IQR: 61-82), 44.1% of women)
presented a PIU (insufficient laxative prescription (19.6% of
patients), insufficient background treatment with transmucosal fentanyl
(14.8%), overlapping prescriptions (2.6%)). The rate of PIU
significantly decreased from 37.6% (2011) to 29.8% (2014). For
patients with a duration of opioid use  3 months, factors associated
with PIU were fentanyl prescription (aOR=2.36; 95% CI [1.86-3.00])
and previous use of strong opioid (aOR=1.88; [1.50-2.36])
Conclusion: In France, one third of cancer patients exposed to strong
opioids experienced PIU and this proportion tended to decrease over
time. There is still room for progress in cancer pain management at the
end of life.

Published: June 2021

Background: To study the difference of clinical characteristics and
prognostic factors from elderly patients with renal cell carcinoma
(RCC), the statistical analysis was carried out based on SEER database.
Methods: The relevant clinical informations of 19472 RCC patients from
2010 to 2015 were collected, and the differences of clinicopathological
characteristics and survival rate was analyzed by log-rank method and
Chi square test, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression model was
used to explore the independent risk factors affecting the long-term
survival of RCC patients. Results: Chi square test showed a significant
correlation between older RCC patients with gender (χ2 = 89.598) , race
(χ2 = 129.889), TNM stage (χ2 = 181.709), T stage (χ2 = 145.253), and N
stage (χ2 = 81.859). Statistics found that the proportion of 65-69-year
age group, male, white population in RCC patients was higher than that
of other year groups, female, other race, respectively. The median
survival time of 19472 RCC patients was 43 months, and 3-year and 5-
year survival rate was 75.95 % and 66.62 %, respectively. Univariate
survival analysis showed that the survival time was significant
correlation with gender ( χ2 =576.5), TNM stage ( χ2 =8206), T stage (
χ2 =4097), N stage ( χ2 =4849), and M stage ( χ2 =6986). Cox
proportional hazards model analysis revealed the independent prognostic
factors related with prognosis including TNM stage (HR: 1.527), T stage
(HR: 1.044), N stage (HR: 1.334 ), and M stage (HR: 2.686). Conclusion:
Age, TNM stage, T stage, N stage, and M stage are independent prognostic
factors for RCC patients, which provides an important basis for the
clinical analysis of the prognosis of elderly RCC patients in different
ages.
Iqbal and Modern Islamic Educationists, Part 1: The Perceived Aims and Objectives of Education - A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Ali Muhammad Abid , Hussien Suhailah
Published: June 2021

Iqbal views the schooling as well as the Madrassah systems devoid of developing a dynamic Muslim required for the renaissance of Ummah. With this realization, many Islamic educationists in Pakistan have established. Islamic schools in Pakistan. The question is whether their models are dynamic enough to create such Muslims? This research probes into the perceptions and practices of ten Islamic school educationists in Pakistan. It also probes and clearly elaborates Iqbal’s educational directives, and finally does a comparative analysis of Iqbal’s directives with the Islamic educationists’ perceptions and practices. Exploring Iqbal’s educational thought includes qualitatively drawing hermeneutical interpretationsfrom Iqbal’s two Persian anthologies of Asrar i khudi (Secrets of the Self), and Ramooz i bikhudi (Mysteries of Selflessness). Thematic data analysis was used to draw the aims and objectives for education from Iqbal’s said works. It was discovered that though the Islamic educationists carried some visions of education from Islamic perspective, they were largely following contemporary secular frame work of education in attempting to achieve these objectives. The contemporary schooling framework has been severely critiqued by Iqbal and is deplored by many educationists in the west as well for its ineptness to confirm with child’s learning psychology. This project was undertaken as my doctoral research and is presented in two parts. The first part elaborates the aims and objectives as conceived by these Islamic educationists, and as derived from Iqbal’s educational philosophy. The second part of this paper will elaborate the practices of these educationists with Iqbal’s educational directives.

Authors: Aslam Rabia , Khan Najmonnisa , Ahmed Ushaque
Published: June 2021

It is becoming a new trend in developing countries to integrate ICT effectively in the teaching-learning process inside or outside the classroom to boost teachers’ professional knowledge (TPK). The present study addresses the technology integration relationship with TPK according to the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE-2008) Standards for Teachers in private secondary schools of Karachi. TPK was categorized as 2 standards of ISTE-2008 i.e. enhance creativity in students and design digital-age assessment. 120 teachers from 12 private secondary schools of Karachi were selected based on a simple randomsampling technique. For the collection of data, a teacher survey questionnaire was used that was designed to gain information on their level of ICT integration and their professional knowledge according to the ISTE-2008 Standards. Data was collected through questionnaire distribution and analyzed through SPSS. Based on ANOVA results, the overall model was significant because the F value was greater than 2 and the significant value was less than 0.05. A strong significant correlation was found between ICT integration and TPK. Strong and moderate significant correlation of ICT integration with teachers’ ability to enhance creativity and design digital-age assessment was found respectively. ICT integration explained 32% of the variance in teachers’ professional knowledge. The integration of ICT with ISTE-standards is highly recommended for the teachers.

Published: June 2021

The article presents the results of experimental work on consulting support of professional practice of a teacher, which introduces local innovations. These innovations are initiated by teachers who need advice on developing a project to implement them in their professional activities. Innovative changes developed by the teacher infringe the order in the implementation of existing professional practice, which leads to the need for its technologization. The presented circumstances actualize consulting support as a form of teacher training directly at the workplace. The purpose of the research stated in the publication is to identify the impact of consulting support on the formation of competencies of consulted ones on the implementation of local innovations developed by them in their own professional practice. Consulting support of technologization by teachers-clients of their own professional practice, after the introduction of local innovative changes, was implemented in a mixed type, combining offline and online formats. The authors of the publication propose to evaluate the success of participants in consulting support for the products developed in its process: the project of technologization of professional practice and the program for its implementation. The obtained data were statistically processed using the parametric method of variance analysis. Statistical processing of the data obtained confirmed the effectiveness of this approach. Professional growth and motivation of educational institution specialists are regulated with statistical accuracy by consulting, which acts as an educational management practice. The consulting on the development of local innovations should be carried out continuously to support the teacher's strategically significant needs, and not just their fragmentary situational requests.
An Empirical Assessment of Real Activities Manipulation Measures
Authors: Siriviriyakul Subprasiri (Jackie)
Published: June 2021

I empirically assess the extent to which real earnings management metrics capture opportunistic behavior versus firms' fundamental factors such as performance. For the traditional proxies proposed by Roychowdhury (2006), I find (1) the economic magnitude of the proxies to be high relative to two relevant benchmarks; (2) they exhibit persistence; and (3) they vary predictably with performance. These findings suggest that the traditional proxies likely not only capture opportunistic behavior, but also likely reflect fundamental factors. I also examine several adjusted proxies based on refinements proposed by subsequent studies. I find that those proposed by Vorst (2016) and those based on Kothari, Mizik, and Roychowdhury (2016) seem to be the most effective at attenuating correlation with underlying fundamentals. Additional simulation tests on bias and power reveal that, between the two adjusted proxies, those based on Kothari et al.'s (2016) are generally more preferable.

Published: June 2021

Iron nanoparticles has attracted more attention than other nanomaterials for its small particle size, high magnetism, low toxicity, surface properties and its extensive applications in science. Plant extracts, microorganisms and agricultural waste products are used for the green synthesis of these nanoparticles. Green synthesis uses metabolites obtained from plants and microorganisms as reducing and covering agents. In addition, it provides an advantage over other synthesis methods because it does not contain harsh chemicals, uses non-toxic reagents, is biocompatible and environmentally friendly. In this study, iron-iron oxide (Fe-Fe3O4) nanoparticles (LP- Fe NPs) were synthesized using lemon peel extract and optimum Fe:Lemon peel extract (Fe: LP exract) ratio was determined. Nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), UV-vis Spectrophotometer and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The UV-vis absorption spectrum of iron nanoparticles showed a peak in the 250-350 nm range. XRD analysis results confirmed that the product is a Fe-Fe3O4 mixture. According to SEM analysis results, the largest particle size according to the 1:2 ratio was recorded as 159 nm. The smallest particle size was recorded as 66.68 nm. It has been observed that the increased lemon peel extract causes agglomeration. As a result, green synthesis of lemon peel, which is agricultural waste; It creates low-cost, environmentally friendly products.

This research aims to determine job satisfaction and motivation as mediating the relationship between teacher certification and principal supervision of teacher performance. The research design used a quantitative approach to causality. To obtain research data using documentation instruments and distributing questionnaires online. The sample used in the study was 215 respondents. The basis for determining the sample is oriented towards a non-probability sampling approach using a purposive sampling formula. To test the mediating effect of satisfaction and the relationship between principal supervision and compensation on teacher performance, the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach with partial least squares analysis is used. Following the research results, Teacher certification has a significant effect on satisfaction and motivation, and teacher certification has no significant effect on teacher performance. The results of subsequent research and the principal's supervision have a significant effect on job satisfaction, motivation, and teacher performance. Furthermore, the results showed that job satisfaction could not mediate the relationship between teacher certification and principal school supervision of teacher performance for the first and second mediation tests. Then, for the third and fourth mediation tests, results were obtained, which stated that motivation could not mediate the relationship between teacher certification and supervision of school principals on teacher performance. Therefore, principal supervision has a significant effect on job satisfaction, motivation, and teacher performance.

Published: June 2021

Con el objetivo de encontrar vías que puedan conducir a solucionar el problema del aprendizaje de las ciencias exactas e involucrar al estudiante universitario de manera participativa y activa durante el periodo semestral con ayuda de las nuevas tecnologías, se desarrolló la siguiente metodología: a) se buscaron aplicaciones (apps) para smartphones que permitan cálculos; b) seleccionadas las apps, se identificaron las características para el software; c) se seleccionaron grupos en los que se pudiera probar el nuevo método; d) se desarrolló un banco de problemas para que los participantes los resolvieran, y e) se aplicó una encuesta a los estudiantes al concluir los cursos. Como resultado de esta búsqueda, se encontró que existen paquetes de software que pueden ser utilizados para las materias de física y que, además, cumplen con el requisito de no tener costo (por lo menos en su versión básica). Después de haber aplicado el nuevo método en tres grupos, en dos periodos semestrales diferentes y en cursos distintos, es halagüeño ver que los alumnos se interesaron por realmente aprender las ciencias exactas, e incluso por gestionar su autoaprendizaje. Los participantes fueron capaces de desarrollar una cantidad de problemas superior a la que se suele resolver con el método convencional.
SOCIAL NETWORKS AS AN INFORMATION SOURCE IN JOURNALIST WORK
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Harmatiy Olha , Onufriv Solomiуa ,   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv
Published: June 2021

The use of social networks as an information source in journalistic work is considered. Recently, sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram have become part of the traditional sources for journalists to obtain material about current events, the public’s assessments and opinions, government activity, etc. At present, social networks are integrated into the ordinary professional practice of collecting news and facts, which means including them into the structure of sources for journalistic work. The modern media rely on them to meet the ever-increasing demand for information, as well as to benefit their advantages like convenience, efficiency, ubiquity and popularity. Considerable attention is paid to the journalists’ use of material from official pages of statebodies and government officials’ personal accounts on social networks. As the authorities have the powers and resources and determine the ways of development of the state and society, they are one of the key communicators influencing the formation of the media agenda. Therefore, their engagement on social platforms provides journalists with the access to socially important information. Social networks, due to their usual bidirectional communication, can also help establish and maintain contacts with people and structures – organizers, participants or witnesses of events. Moreover, it is also an opportunity to learn about many different views, get starting ideas and tips from users for forthcoming publications and topics. Collecting information from social networks is directly related to the main identifying characteristics of the journalistic profession and compliance with the basic journalistic standards: objectivity, reliability, unbiasedness, and balance. Without exaggerating the importance of social platforms in the journalistic context, it should be noted, however, that they expand opportunities for the profession. Proper use of social networks helps journalists to create quality content; they are a relatively new tool for traditional journalism, which is to inform about events of socio-political and other spheres of state and society’s life.

The article analyzes the ways of influence of social networks on the formation and conduct of political PR-campaigns. Examples from the political sphere (election campaigns, initiatives), in particular Ukrainian and other foreign presidential and parliamentary elections, revealed the opportunities that Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, YouTube create in promoting a candidate, leader, ideas and opinions. Author blogs created on social networks can be an additional tool in a PR campaign. Social networks interfere in the sphere of human life, become a means of communication, promotion, branding. The effectiveness of social networks is evidenced by such historically significant events as Brexit, the Arab Spring and the Revolution of Dignity. Particular attention was paid to the Ukrainian presidential elections in 2019 and local elections in 2020. Based on the analysis of individual PR campaigns, the reasons for successful and unsuccessful campaigns in terms of network communications, which provide unlimited multimedia and interactive tools for PR. In fact, these concepts significantly affect the effectiveness of the PR-campaign, its ultimate effectiveness, which is determined by the achievement of goals. Choosing a blog as the main tool of a marketing campaign has both positive and negative sides. Only a person with great creative potential can create a blog. In addition, it takes a long time. In fact, these two points lose compared to other instruments. Further research is interesting in two respects. First, a comparison of the dynamics of the effectiveness of PR-campaign tools in Ukraine in 2020 and in the past, in particular, at the dawn of state independence. Second, explore how and / or the concept of PR campaigns in social networks and blogs is constantly changing.

Published: June 2021

Desde el brote del nuevo coronavirus (COVID-19) el 31 de diciembre de 2019 en China se extendió rápidamente a más de 200 países de todo el mundo. Los gobiernos de los países afectados han tomado medidas como el distanciamiento social para disminuir la tasa de propagación de COVID-19. Como una forma de evaluar la efectividad de tales acciones, diseñamos un modelo de microsimulación basado en agentes que permite representar la propagación de COVID-19 en Medellín, Colombia. En consecuencia, reproducimos el número de casos y muertes causadas por COVID-19 de acuerdo con los datos reales de Medellín utilizando el modelo propuesto. Además, probamos nuestro modelo con dos escenarios: primero con acciones gubernamentales reales y segundo sin acciones gubernamentales en Medellín-Colombia. Los resultados de nuestro modelo muestran que las políticas de salud pública tempranas permiten aplanar la curva de la propagación de COVID-19 en contraste con el escenario sin restricciones. Como trabajo futuro, incluiremos más clústeres, por ejemplo, clústeres de ocio, clústeres de transporte, y la dinámica de los casos extranjeros de COVID-19

Authors: Vesga Ferreira Juan Carlos , Contreras Higuera Martha Fabiola , Vesga Barrera José Antonio
Published: June 2021

La telemedicina puede considerarse como una evolución de la provisión de servicios de salud orientados a las telecomunicaciones en forma remota. De acuerdo con las definiciones dadas para Colombia en este tema, están reglamentadas por la Ley 1419 de 2010, en donde el término “telemedicina” estaría estrechamente relacionado con el de m-health. El objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación consiste en identificar las tendencias, normativas y lineamientos para el diseño de sistemas Smart m-health para el monitoreo de señales biológicas, bajo un esquema de IoT, orientado especialmente a pacientes con enfermedades que requieran supervisión de signos vitales de manera permanente como el Cáncer. Se busca que el prototipo pueda ser compatible con un entorno Web bajo arquitectura cliente / servidor, utilizando dispositivos de bajo costo como Raspberry Pi para el procesamiento, monitoreo, transmisión y adquisición de señales biológicas, con capacidad de establecer procesos de comunicación cableada e inalámbrica y articulando funciones especiales tales como: ubicación por GPS, Identificación RFID, gestión de suministro de medicamentos y sistema de alarmas especializadas, articulando mecanismos de Inteligencia Artificial en sus procesos de gestión y monitoreo, entre otras. El desarrollo de soluciones soportadas en los conceptos de e-health y m-health representan una gran oportunidad para superar las grandes limitaciones de cobertura, equidad y calidad de los servicios de salud de países como Colombia, especialmente en analizar nuevas estrategias que permitan superar las limitaciones establecidas por la norma dada en la Resolución 1448 de 2006, en la incorporación de servicios soportados en tecnologías de telemedicina, según la cual, sólo se pueden habilitar servicios de telemedicina al interior de una IPS, a cargo de un profesional de la salud. Por lo tanto, es necesario orientar este tipo de investigaciones a una aplicación dentro de IPS remisoras, o eventualmente a aplicaciones en ambulancias, dado que son legalmente consideradas como entidades prestadoras de servicios de salud.
Destination Irrational Procrastination: An Exploration of the Role of Attributional Thinking and Self-Regulation on Procrastination in Synchronous Online Graduate Students
Authors: Dunn Karee , Hayakawa Takuya
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study was to determine if internally directed attributions and perceived degree of engagement in self-regulation predicted the degree to which synchronous online graduate students procrastinate. Internally directed attributions to ability and effort and adaptive self-regulation of learning were selected as research suggests these variables are responsive to training (Greene & Azevedo, 2007; Hood, 2013). As a relationship among these variables had not yet been established in this population, the current results add to our burgeoning understanding of how to best support the success of our synchronous online graduate students.

Aim - establish features of arterial and venous hemodynamics in patients with the 2ndstage of essential hypertension (EH) with various options of circadian structure of theblood pressure (BP).Material and methods. There were examined 52 patients with the 2nd stage of essentialhypertension (EH) with the average age of 54,8±2,12. All patients underwent daily BPmonitoring (DBPM) with the help of the hardware complex "Solvaig" (Ukraine) andangiotensiotonoreobarography according to the author's method that determined thevalues of the pressures of closing and opening the arteries and veins of the limb underthe medical cuff (as for checking BP).Results. According to the data of DBPM in “non-dippers” patients the average dailypulse blood pressure (APBP) was significantly higher in the night picker (NP), and theaverage dynamic blood pressure increased mainly during the night period.The values of the daily index in these groups “non-dippers” (ND) and NP are mainlycaused by the daily dynamics of the diastolic BP.There were detected 17(80.8%) patients of the ND group and 12 (92.3%) patients withNP rhythm that had a high level of venous closure pressure. Venous hypertension wasconfirmed according to the data of CVP by the classical method of Waldman.The proposed method of examination of patients with the 2nd stage of essentialhypertension makes it possible to detect arteriovenous hypertension and to determineit as a significant risk factor for the progression of EH and resistant to treatment form,pathogenetically justify complex AH-therapy using optimal doses of diuretics.Conclusion. Circadian variant - ND and NP "not dippers" has been revealed in mostpatients with the 2nd stage of EH (65.4%). Combined arteriovenous hypertension(AVH) was detected in 87% of thematic patients with daily ND and NP structure. Thediagnosed AVH in patients with the 2nd stage of EH is an additional risk factor for EHand requires a pathogenetically sound approach to AH-treatment with mandatory useof diuretics in optimal doses.

Authors: Voitiv Y.Y.
Published: June 2021

Purpose - to analyze the frequency of polymorphic variants of tissue inhibitors ofmetalloproteinase-2 (G303 → A) gene in patients with intestinal anastomotic leak.Material and methods. The object of the study comprises 61 patients with anastomotic leakand connective tissue pathology, who were treated in the department of thoracoabdominalsurgery of Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology during 2017-2020. Laboratory, genetic, histological studies and statistical analysis were performed.Results. As a result of genetic and statistical analysis of the tissue inhibitors ofmetalloproteinase-2 (G303 → A) gene polymorphisms, genotype variants have beenidentified that are associated with the risk of anastomotic leak in the hollow digestiveorgans. Significant differences in the distribution of genotypes in the studied groupswere revealed. Analysis of the multiplicative model of inheritance of tissue inhibitors ofmetalloproteinase-2 (G303 → A) gene showed compliance of genotype distribution withHardy-Weinberg's law. All models of inheritance were analyzed and the best model withthe lowest Akaike Information Criterion, which turned out to be a recessive model, hasbeen determined.Conclusions. It is statistically significant that in the group of patients with intestinalanastomotic leak the GG variant of the TIMP-2 gene was detected in 1,6 times moreoften. Carriers of minor homozygotes of AA genotype in the group with suture failurewere not detected, while a similar genotype in the control group was found in 10%(p <0,05).

Data of foreign literature concerning sutureless formation of the colorectal anastomosiswith the help of cyonocrylate adhesives are presented in the article. These are quick acting glues, available on the Ukrainian market, and may be used by Ukrainiansurgeons in implementation of their ideas as to the sutureless connection of organs in theexperimental and clinical investigations.12 different types of cyanocrylate adhesives as to their resistance to the rupture of theconnected by them large intestine segments, were studied. Questions of the technicalformation of the sutureless anastomoses were considered. When substantially newtechnical devices for gluing together the organs are absent, progress is hardly possible.Objective – to acquaint the domestic surgeons and oncologists with modern achievementsof foreign scientists in the field of sutureless colorectal anastomosis formation by meansof cyanocrylate adhesives.Conclusions. For some time past foreign surgeons the problems of colorectal anastomosesintensively develop the problems of colorectal. This is due to the fact that indices ofcolorectal anastomosis insufficiency remain on high levels. Unfortunately, the hopesthat the introduction of modern advanced stapler anastomotic techniques can radicallyreduce the frequency of this complication were not justified.

Objectives - to analyze the activity of the inflammatory process in the airways of childrenwith bronchial asthma depending on different onset of the disease.Material and methods. Keeping to the principles of bioethics a comprehensiveretrospective examination of 319 children suffering from BA was performed. In 257children (clinical group I) bronchial asthma developed against a background of chronicobstructive bronchitis. The second clinical group included 43 children, in whom asthmadebuted after community-acquired pneumonia. The third (III) clinical group consistedof 19 children in whom asthma was first verified after inpatient treatment for asthmaticstatus.Results. According to the severity of bronchial asthma, it was found that the representativesof the III clinical group, compared with other patients, significantly more often had a severecourse of the disease. For patients of the I clinical group in the debut it is characterizedby increased eosinophils and decreased neutrophil counts in sputum, for patients ofgroup II - increased eosinophils and epitheliocytes, but a decrease in lymphocytes, andfor children of clinical group III - low eosinophils sputum with a simultaneous increasein neutrophils. In particular, a statistically significant increase in the content of VEGF,a decrease in the content of cationic proteins, MMP-9, and interleukins-6, and -13 inthe sputum indicates the predominance of neoangiogenesis in children of clinical groupIII. Instead, in the representatives of the II clinical group the remodeling processes weremainly caused by the inflammatory process with the release of intracellular eosinophiliccationic proteins.Conclusion. These data indicate the discrete nature of the type and severity of theinflammatory process of the respiratory tract in the dynamics of observation in childrenof clinical comparison groups, which suggests the presence of certain phenotypicdifferences due to the alternative onset of the disease, which in its turn was determinedby different triggers. Such deviations of the inflammatory process indicate that patientswith asthma require a personalized approach to differentiated diagnostic monitoring andtargeted anti-inflammatory treatment, taking into account the peculiarities of the onsetof the disease.

LA PERMANENCIA DEL DERECHO ROMANO EN LOS CÓDIGOS EUROPEOS E IBEROAMERICANOS
Authors: Ennes Luís Rodríguez
Published: June 2021

El Derecho Romano está presente en los distintos sistemas jurídicos aunque con diferente intensidad. En consecuencia, el derecho inglés tampoco dejó de percibir la influencia del romano e, incluso, está más cerca del modus operandi de éste que el de los países que se rigen por códigos. Por su parte, los codificadores iberoamericanos utilizaron como guía de su nueva legislación al Derecho Romano.
Recreating Draupadi: A Study of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions
Authors: Bora Prerona
Published: June 2021

Mythological retellings have explored those issues of the epics which were submerged in the objective representation of the events. Redefining the existence of the epical characters, these revisionist writings have presented the events from the alternate perspectives. With an attempt to deconstruct the concept of ‘truth’, the contemporary mythological retellings have tried to demystify the dominant ideologies, and for this purpose they had brought into forefront the overlooked characters. In the grand narrative of the epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata the perspectives of the women characters were often overlooked; at the same time the objective representation of the events could not provide the necessary space to delve deep into their psyche. Therefore, ample numbers of the contemporary mythological retellings have highlighted the lives of the women characters of the epics, by presenting the events from their perspectives to explore those facets of the ‘truth’ which were overlooked in the source texts. This research article has attempted to reconstruct the identity of Draupadi of the Mahabharata by focusing on her character as depicted by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni in her The Palace of Illusions, a wonderful mythological fiction reinterpreting the events of the epic Mahabharata from Draupadi’s perspective. Adopting a feminist stance, this research article has explored Draupadi’s resistance to patriarchal domination, and in this way, here an attempt has been undertaken to reassert her individuality and to redetermine her role in the epic.

El mérito académico en el pensamiento militar español dieciochesco: del caballero medieval al oficial de infantería
Authors: Abián Cubillo David Alberto
Published: June 2021

Este artículo pretende estudiar el cambio que sufrió la figura del caballero militar en el pensamiento militar hispano como resultado de los cambios técnicos que se produjeron a lo largo de la Edad Moderna. El ámbito de las ideas nos permite conocer los límites del debate intelectual de la época y cómo algunos aspectos podían erosionar el discurso establecido en el ejército y la sociedad. Nuestro objetivo es observar cómo se fueron estableciendo unos nuevos ideales para la oficialidad de infantería en el siglo XVIII en el que predominaban valores diferentes a los de siglos anteriores.
