Respons dan Adaptasi Pesantren Daar El-Qolam Tangerang terhadap Pandemi Covid 19
Authors: Alia Nur , Siagian Nursalamah
Published: July 2022

Daar el-Qolam Islamic Boarding School is one of the relatively large Islamic boarding schools with more than a thousand students, and located in the red zone or at high risk of spreading Covid-19. This paper examines how the Daar el-Qolam responds to various government policies related to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as adaptation strategies undertaken in the face of the pandemic. The research was conducted in June 2020 using a qualitative approach. The results show that Daar el-Qolam conforms in responding to various government policies related to the pandemic. When the government issued a new policy, Daar el-Qolam tried to follow the policy even though he had to change the existing policy or system. One of them is by repatriating students and stopping all activities at the boarding school. Thus, Daar el-Qolam's conformity can be seen from its efforts to always be in harmony and in accordance with group norms, which in this case is government policy. Meanwhile, the adaptations made by Daar el-Qolam are autoplastic and alloplastic. Autoplastic is carried out when Daar el-Qolam changes various internal policies to adapt to pandemic conditions, such as sending students home prematurely, conducting online learning, and providing facilities that comply with health protocols. Meanwhile, alloplastic is carried out when Daar el-Qolam changes the environment to suit the desired conditions, such as re-activating Islamic boarding school activities but with various changes in the learning process, santri lifestyle, and social and religious behaviour.

Religious views which tends to be exoteric and only looking at the formal legal aspect, often gives an over-sensitive views, emotional, and unconsciously giving violence actions.  Wahiduddin Khan is a figure who aware of this problem, so he develope the concept of tazkiyah as the basis for the spirituality of peace. Tazkiyah according  to Khan focused on intellectual development that touches the heart, so it built the integration between rationality and spirituality which is construct the forms a complete human being. This research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review. This research founded four stages of four stages of tazkiyah: abstraction, internalization, transcendence, and humanization. Tazkiyah is a combination of rational awareness, feelings in the heart (spiritual events) and practical actions that connecting two currents of centripetal and centrifugal motion. The inward movement is closer to mystical awareness and the outward movement is a form of participation in building traditions and social institutions. This combination will produce spirituality that manifests in the awareness and attitude of peace.

This study specifically aims to determine the madrasa school leadership model at MAN and MA Qasim Al Hadi in Semarang. The research on the two madrasah model includes qualitative research, which takes the research locus of public and private Madrasah Aliyah. The results showed that the MAN Semarang in leadership adheres to a bureaucratic democratic system of democracy. This means that everything is done in accordance with standard operating procedures with modern management. While the leadership model at MA Qasim Al Hadi, the education system is strongly influenced by the central figure who has been appointed by the foundation as the head of the school (kiai). It is the figure of the kiai who spurs all movements in the educational process. Implementatively, the leadership model of the Head of MA Qosim Al Hadi can be seen from his personality and democratic character. Apart from being based on personality type, it also depends on the status of the madrasa (private). Thus the leadership model of MA Qosim Al Hadi can be said to be a charismatic leadership pattern.

Authors: Klasnić Irena , Đuranović Marina , Vragović Anica
Published: July 2022

Children’s school readiness implies their ability to adjust to the requirements imposed by school, to meet the teachers’ criteria, to show progress in learning and to their abilities in general. The purpose of this research is to identify the critical incidents relating to children’s school readiness. In the context of children’s entry into obligatory primary education, there are numerous issues of key importance for a harmonious transition from the kindergarten environment to primary school. The data were collected during group discussions between kindergarten teachers (n = 12) and  primary education teachers (n = 12), who were divided into four focus groups. The qualitative content analysis was performed, and the critical incidents were classified into four categories. Furthermore, focus groups were used as a method of designing questionnaires to examine the expectations of parents, kindergarten teachers and primary education teachers regarding children’s readiness for primary school.

Authors: Pursitasari Indarini Dwi , Rubini Bibin , Firdaus Fikri Zauharul
Published: July 2022

Students’ ccritical thinking skills and awareness of the environment are low. One of the efforts to improve this is through the development of eco-literacy-based interactive teaching materials (EITM). This study aims to test the feasibility of EITM to enhance students' critical thinking skills. The EITM feasibility test was conducted by two content experts and two media experts and involved 18 science teachers and the participation of junior high school students. After the teaching materials were revised, they were then tested on 50 students to measure their subsequent critical thinking skills.  The results of the expert assessments were determined by percentages and categorized, the teacher assessments were calculated by CVR and CVI, and the acceptance data were analysed descriptively and quantitatively. The results of the feasibility test show that EITM has a valid category. Therefore, they can be used in science learning to promote critical thinking skills.

CONFIABILIDAD ESTRUCTURAL DE EDIFICIOS DE CONCRETO REFORZADO Y SISTEMA DUAL
Authors: Velarde Cruz Fernando , Bojórquez Mora Juan , Bojórquez Mora Edén
Published: July 2022

En el presente trabajo se compara la confiabilidad estructural de un edificio de concreto reforzado destinado a uso de oficinas y ubicado en el suelo blando de la Ciudad de México, utilizando dos sistemas estructurales distintos. El primero es a base de marcos resistentes a momento de concreto reforzado (sistema convencional) y en el segundo se incorporan muros de cortante ubicados estratégicamente en los marcos exteriores (sistema dual). Para las dos edificaciones se utilizan modelos estructurales complejos los cuales son sometidos a varios registros sísmicos del suelo blando con la finalidad de estimar y comparar la confiabilidad de ambos sistemas utilizando curvas de peligro de demanda. Es importante mencionar que también se hace una comparación de los resultados obtenidos del diseño de los dos sistemas estructurales en términos de otros indicadores de demanda ingenieril. El parámetro utilizado para estimar la confiabilidad estructural es la distorsión máxima de entrepiso, la cual se obtiene mediante análisis dinámicos incrementales que permiten la elaboración de curvas de fragilidad sísmica.  La estimación de la confiabilidad estructural se hace mediante modelos probabilísticos al combinar las curvas de fragilidad y de peligro sísmico. Finalmente, con los resultados obtenidos se comprueba que utilizar el sistema dual puede ser una buena alternativa de diseño, obteniendo una solución más económica y un mejor comportamiento sísmico.

Authors: Daskalopoulou Maria , Pylli Magdalini , Giannakou Konstantinos
Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate vitamin D ((25OH)D levels) deficiency as a possible cause in the development of DT1 in children and adolescents aged 0-15. METHODS: We searched PubMed/ Medline, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library to identify potentially eligible articles that examine whether
low serum 25(OH)D levels are associated with subsequent development of DT1. All type of research designs, including randomized and non-randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, case- control and cross-sectional studies with subjects aged ≤15 years old were
consider for inclusion. RESULTS: Seven original studies met the entry criteria. Most of these studies found up to 50% lower levels of vitamin D in children with DT1 compared to control group and a significant positive association between vitamin D levels and of the risk of developing
DT1. Results of quality assessment demonstrated moderate to high quality of all the studies included. CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D deficiency may be a possible cause in the development of DT1 in the early years of life and particularly in children with genetic predisposition, whilst the deficiency
of vitamin D is a very common occurrence in patients with DT1. Further long-term studies on children are required to determine the role of vitamin D on DT1.

Approaches to assessment of natural capital: foreign experience
Authors: Dmitrieva T
Published: July 2022

The concept of natural capital goes beyond nature as a source of raw materials for production and reflects the role of the environment and ecosystems in maintaining human well-being. National accounts do not consider the costs of depletion or degradation of natural resources and the entire economic contribution of nature, which is essential for ensuring sustainable development, so it became necessary to develop special accounting systems for natural capital. The author uncovers evolution of the formation and features of «public» and «private» approaches to the accounting of natural capital in the system of corresponding accounts. The key scheme of both approaches is the way from individual spatial economic, social and environmental data to complex information through the structure of accounts that record the quantity and quality of ecosystem assets and ecosystem services provided by them in physical and monetary terms during the reported periods. The article presents cases for assessing the natural capital at timber industry enterprises and the experience of the UK in measuring the value of various ecosystem services as a leading country. The analysis revealed the problems and trends in the development of the environmental and economic accounting system. A scheme of accounting the forest capital in the regional conditions of information supply is offered.

Competitive power take-off became the main component of this mechanism. Within its framework, nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, new power units, as well as thermal power plants, which are necessary for heat supply to consumers, are compulsorily selected. The article examines the process of price formation for capacity, its relationship with demand, and shows the main features that affect its final indicators.
Uncertainty of the Right to Health in Indonesia during Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Anggraeni Savira , Ramadhani Evyta Rosiyanti
Published: July 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has limited human movement across the world. However, interest in maintaining and fighting for justice, human rights (HAM), and democracy as the basis for building the civilization of the nation and state must not be weakened. On the contrary, it must be more strongly upheld and enforced. The government, as the primary duty bearer, is obliged to respect, protect, and fulfill the human rights of every citizen, as stated in numerous international and national legal instruments, including the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945). This study uses a library research method and statutory approach. The author found that the government is still relatively lenient in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, this raises concerns about the uncertainty of the health environment in Indonesia. This violates Article 28 H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, which states that every person has the right to live in physical and spiritual prosperity, to have a place to live, to have a good and healthy living environment, and the right to obtain health services. The government should issue a stricter policy in dealing with this problem.
Transitional (in)Justice as Duration
Authors: Citrawan Harison
Published: July 2022

This study demonstrates that the ‘transition’ in transitional jurisprudence is a collective imagination that plausibly lays upon the interaction between competing temporal narratives in ‘historical cases’—broadly understood as cases that involve the interplay between law’s temporality and historical process. The dominant view of transitional jurisprudence is inclined to consider transition as a series of discrete and fragmented events. This view, however, fails to bridge the gap between lived experience and law and policy’s mode of representation of past injustices. By contrast, this paper contends that transition should be perceived in pure temporality—transition as a flux or flow of time. This view enables legal actors to better engage in the multitude of temporalities in historical cases. This paper analyzes two issues. First, it juxtaposes the ontological perspective of time as duration and theory of adjudicative reasoning to construe ‘transition’ as a collective temporal imagination among legal actors. It manifests a theoretical basis for experiential time in law by extrapolating Postema’s legal time-mindfulness and Bergson’s duration. Second, it examines law’s distinctive virtue in micro-level agreement about the (temporal) sense of injustices. By focusing on the statutory limitation discussion in African-American Slave Descendants Litigation case in the United States, this study finds that law’s temporality is primarily contested due to the givenness of time. This article concludes that legal actors perceivably capture and disrupt persistent injustices at a micro-level by dislocating the present of atrocious lived experience.
On the Noethericity conditions and the index of some two–dimensional singular integral operators
Authors: Оdinabekov Jasur M.
Published: July 2022

The main problems in the theory of singular integral operators are the problems of boundedness, invertibility, Noethericity, and calculation of the index. The general theory of multidimensional singular integral operators over the entire space E_n was constructed by S.G. Mikhlin. It is known that in the two-dimensional case, if the symbol of an operator does not vanish, then the Fredholm theory holds. For operators over a bounded domain, the boundary of this domain significantly affects the solvability of the corresponding operator equations. In this paper, we consider two-dimensional singular integral operators with continuous coefficients over a bounded domain. Such operators are used in many problems in the theory of partial differential equations. In this regard, it is of interest to establish criteria for the considered operators to be Noetherian in the form of explicit conditions on their coefficients. The paper establishes effective necessary and sufficient conditions for two-dimensional singular integral operators to be Noetherian in Lebesgue spaces L_p (D) (considered over the field of real numbers), 1<p<∞, and formulas for calculating indices are given. The method developed by R.V. Duduchava [Duduchava R. On multidimensional singular integral operators. I: The half-space case; II: The case of compact manifolds // J. Operator Theory, 1984, v. 11, 41–76 (I); 199–214 (II)]. In this case, the study of the Noetherian properties of operators is reduced to the factorization of the corresponding matrix-functions and finding their partial indices.
Properties of one higher order matrix-differential operator
Authors: Uskov Vladimir I.
Published: July 2022

The article considers a linear matrix-differential operator of the n-th order of the form A^n. For it and for the operator (A ̃^(-1) )^n, an analytical expression is derived, for which an operator analog of the Newton binomial is obtained. A lemma on the solution of a linear equation is given. It is used in the study of the abstract Cauchy problem for an algebro-differential equation in a Banach space with the cube of the operator A at the highest derivative. The operator A has the property of having 0 as a normal eigenvalue. Conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution are determined; the solution is found, for which the method of cascade splitting of the equation and conditions into the corresponding equations and conditions in subspaces of lower dimensions is used. As an application, the results obtained for n=3 are used in solving a mixed problem for a fourth-order partial differential equation. These equations include the generalized shallow water wave equation and the generalized Liouville equation.
About a complex operator resolvent
Authors: Fomin Vasiliy I.
Published: July 2022

A normed algebra of bounded linear complex operators acting in a complex normed space consisting of elements of the Cartesian square of a real Banach space is constructed.
In this algebra, it is singled out a set of operators for each of which the real and imaginary parts commute with each other. It is proved that in this set, any operator for which the sum of squares of its real and imaginary parts is a continuously invertible operator, is invertible itself; a formula for the inverse operator is found. For an operator from the indicated set, the form of its regular points is investigated: conditions under which a complex number is a regular point of the given operator are found; a formula for the resolvent of a complex operator is obtained. The set of unbounded linear complex operators acting in the above complex normed space is considered. In this set, a subset of those operators for each of which the domains of the real and imaginary parts coincide is distinguished. For an operator from the specified subset, conditions on a complex number under which this number belongs to the resolvent set of the given operator are found; a formula for the resolvent of the operator is obtained. The concept of a semi-bounded complex operator as an operator in which one component is a bounded and the other is an unbounded operator is introduced. It is noted that the first and second resolvent identities for complex operators can be proved similarly to the case of real operators.

A “língua da mineração”

Published: July 2022

Partindo dos dispositivos teórico-analíticos da Análise de Discurso (AD), o presente artigo aborda o discurso da Braskem S.A. sobre os eventos relacionados ao crime socioambiental praticado por esta empresa de mineração na cidade de Maceió-AL. Por meio da análise de algumas sequências discursivas de natureza verbal e não verbal extraídas de dois folhetos produzidos pela Braskem S.A. e hospedados em sua página na internet, intenta-se compreender os sentidos atribuídos por esta empresa aos acontecimentos em questão, assim como os sentidos produzidos acerca de sua participação nestes eventos. A análise aqui empreendida evidencia que o sujeito-enunciador Braskem S.A., por meio de sua estrutura de comunicação social, faz circular sentidos que a posicionam no lugar de “parceira das comunidades atingidas” e de “parceira do Estado” em suas ações de “assistência” aos afetados pelo crime ambiental. Esses sentidos ainda atribuem uma causalidade “natural” ao afundamento do solo dos bairros de Maceió, o que desresponsabiliza a referida empresa pelas consequências socioambientais da prática de mineração.

Os espaços residuais são aqueles lugares apagados do imaginário coletivo urbano, e muitas vezes, negligenciados pela narrativa na qual se inserem. São lugares que sofreram um processo de estigmatização socioespacial vinculado a uma política da exceção. O presente trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre tal fenômeno urbano observado na área da Orla Conde, no Porto Maravilha do Rio de Janeiro. A área sofreu diversas intervenções prévias aos megaeventos sediados na cidade em 2014 e 2016, entre elas a implosão do Elevado Perimetral. Metodologicamente a pesquisa opera discutindo principalmente os conceitos de residualidade e estigmatização urbana, fenômenos que foram observados Orla Conde e parte da região portuária reformada. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam a existência resquícios de uma residualidade socioespacial preexistente e que novas formas de residualidade têm surgido na região

Fenomena budaya bersarung adalah bahasan penelitian yang digali menggunakan pendekatan etnografi. Informan yang terlibat adalah pelaku budaya bersarung dari beragam profesi dan latar belakang. Data diperoleh dari studi pustaka termasuk media online. Sarung adalah busana yang dikenal masyarakat Indonesia sebagaimana di banyak bagian negara lain di Asia. Sarung dipakai untuk menutup tubuh bagian bawah seperti busana adat daerah, mulai dari busana sehari-hari hingga busana pengantin. Barthes (1997) menyatakan busana sebagai pembentuk identitas kolektif sehingga didalamnya terkandung penanda bermakna. Di lain pihak Malcom Barnard (2002) menyebutkan bahwa fungsi busana tidak hanya sebagai pelindung tubuh namun juga sebagai alat komunikasi. Ketika sarung menjadi bagian dari busana sehari-hari, acara adat, ritual keagamaan hingga pernikahan, sarung telah mendukung aktivitas masyarakat maka ini adalah praktek budaya keseharian. Belakangan ini sarung untuk laki-laki maupun perempuan dipopulerkan kembali oleh masyarakat perkotaan khususnya pecinta fesyen. Selain pembiasaan baru tersebut, oleh sekolompok lain masyarakat sarung dibedakan peruntukannya berdasarkan motif. Ada pemahaman bahwa kaum laki-laki hanya pantas menggunakan sarung bila motifnya berciri geometris. Sarung sebagai budaya yang mengandung makna penting bagi masyarakat mewarnai kehidupan fesyen lokal.

The Origins of Seljuk Ornamental Art in Anatolia
Authors: Erbudak Mehmet
Published: July 2022

The Seljuks, who came from the Central Asian prairies, invaded Asia Minor towards the end of the 11th century. The land had been settled by then mainly by the Christian Eastern Romans and Armenian peoples. Seljuks were Moslems; they built monumental structures, some of which have survived the natural disasters of several centuries to the present day. Most of these architectural marvels contain extraordinary decorations in the form of ornaments, friezes and rosettes. I have studied periodic ornaments and classified them into 17 mathematical wallpaper groups according to their symmetry properties that reveal their global structure. On the other hand, the local details of the ornaments, the motifs, show a clear variation from simple geometric patterns to complicated and refined forms. Seljuk art was originally influenced by Persian styles, later influenced by the Christian population in Asia Minor, and finally represents the impact of Islamic culture.
miRNA Sensing in Livestock: Challenges and Potential Approaches
Authors: Neethirajan Suresh
Published: July 2022

Early disease detection in livestock allows for target treatment decreasing antibiotics use and allow advancements in precision veterinary medicine. MicroRNA (miRNA) -driven signaling cascades play a crucial role in the context of farm animal disease diagnostics and prediction, and their proper understanding remains a challenge. In livestock farm animals, only a small number of miRNAs have been fully validated with respect to disease conditions and physiological or behavioral traits. Low abundance of miRNAs in blood and bodily fluids, along with a small number of nucleotides, makes detection and discrimination tedious and challenging task in. miRNAs usually are homologous, owing to which detection specificity becomes next to impossible when screening for multiple miRNAs in the same analyte sample. Hence, a concurrent, multiplexing, approach becomes crucial for the development of on-farm point-of-care based detection systems. Comprehensive screening methods demand broad dynamic range and enhanced specificity. For on-farm handheld platform development, the ability to screen for multiple varieties of miRNA is essential. In this review paper, I provide an overview of the recent developments of miRNA sensing and the current bottlenecks in the realization of the sensors for detecting miRNAS as target analyte for various livestock disease detection applications. Due to the nascent stages of this research, the possibilities of exploiting miRNAs as a biomarker opens up ways to move from reactive to predictive possibilities in diseases detection in the modern digital livestock farming.

The social vulnerability approach (SV) has set up that social inequalities and disadvantages have gone beyond monetary poverty in the last years, since the process is built at different scales. In its objectives, the SV multidimensional measurement is contemplated as a priority tool to monitor the compliance of the first goal – eliminate poverty in all its forms. Therefore, the objective of this research is to calculate the SV of the fishing communities of the Gulf of Ulloa (GU), Mexico by macro-markers to subsequently contrast them with field micro-data, and finally perform a behavior scenario, considering the current public policies restrictive to fishing in such areas. The results showed significant differences depending on the type of information used, obtaining a contingency coefficient of 83.42%, which indicates that the calculus depends strongly on the data used and suggesting that macro-data may be masking the true SV values in the area, in such a way they could be severely underestimated. Even though the context at micro-scale is not the only one, SV should be calculated to analyze the fishing communities since coastal fishery represents almost the total livelihood of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, these communities confront numerous local and global threats, and these pressures on SV put their livelihoods, well-being, food security and traditional lifestyle at risk. Therefore, the role of researching human dimensions and governance is not only basic but also urgent to turn to sustainable socioeconomic management.

The paper enriches the existing literature on financial intermediaries’ operations in the face of uncertainty by empirically examining the impact of banking uncertainty on banks’ security holdings. Using bank-level data in Vietnam during 2007–2019 to compute a micro uncertainty proxy based on the dispersion of bank shocks, we document that banking uncertainty tends to enhance total security holdings at banks. Decomposing aggregate securities into disaggregate components, we find that safer investments (including government bonds and financial institution bonds) dominate the overall impact of banking uncertainty on security holdings, which completely offset a drop in the volume of riskier investments (including corporate bonds and stocks) in times of higher uncertainty. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that the impact of banking uncertainty on all security holdings is stronger at riskier banks, thereby implying that bank behavior is likely attributable to the precautionary motive.
Cash Flow and Accrual Anomalies: Evidence from Borsa Istanbul
Authors:   Malatya Turgut Özal University, Turkey, Kaya Emine
Published: July 2022

This study aims to determine the persistence of earning and its components and whether investors accurately evaluate the information related to the earning and its components. The study covers the firms operating in Borsa Istanbul between 2005-2017 time period. We sort the accruals and cash flows into five portfolios. Then, we employ linear regression and Mishkin test estimations. Moreover, we compare the asset pricing models with nine metrics in explaining the cash flow and accrual anomalies. Linear regression and Mishkin test estimations show that the persistence of earning is high. The other finding is that cash flow and accrual do not correctly reflect on the stock prices. Also, our results show that the financial asset pricing model is successful in explaining the cash flow and the accrual anomalies. As a result, we can see that the financial asset pricing model continues to be an important model in explaining asset prices. On the other hand, our study is different from the other studies since it uses the Fama and French Five Factor Model to determine the cash flow and accrual anomalies.

The aim – based on the analysis of accidents when working with pathogenic biological agents (PBA) of pathogenicity groups I–II, draw conclusions about the causes of their occurrence and formulate recommendations for improving biological safety measures to reduce the risk of accidents.

Materials and methods. The subject of the study was the data on accidents that happened during the work with PBA, stated in protocols of the commission for monitoring compliance with biological safety requirements of the Volgograd Research Anti-Plague Institute over the period of 1986–2020. Assessed were the type of emergency, their number, main causes and prerequisites for occurrence, professional category of a worker who participated in an accident.

Results and discussion. During the specified period 3 types of accidents were recorded: accidents with spraying, accidents with skin lesion, accidents without spraying. There were no accidents with damage to the insulating suit and the pneumatic suit during the entire period under investigation. Of the total number of accidents, 42.85 % of cases were associated with skin lesion due to the bite of an experimental animal due to its incorrect fixation during infection, feeding, care, or due to autopsy of animals. Spillage accidents were recorded in 42.85 %; accidents without spraying amounted to 14.2 %. The categories of employees who made the greatest number of accidents have been identified: laboratory assistants – 39.2 % of cases, researcher officers – 14.2 %, disinfectors – 14.2 %. The causes of accidents and the prerequisites contributing to their realization have been pinpointed. The main ways and measures to reduce the risks of emergency situations for personnel when working with pathogens of particularly dangerous infectious diseases are put forward.

The review summarizes literature data on the Vibrio cholerae secretion system of the 6th type. This system is a contact-dependent macromolecular mechanism through which bacteria translocate toxic effector proteins into target cells. It is found in many Gram-negative bacteria, including Vibrio cholerae. V. cholerae infects phagocytic amoebae, nematodes, ciliates, bacteria belonging to different species, as well as unrelated strains of V. cholerae using this system. DNA released after lysis of competing bacteria can be taken up by Vibrio cholerae cells, which leads to the acquisition of new genetic material. The type VI secretion system is involved in the infectious process. The destruction of macrophages and microbiota contributes to the active reproduction of the pathogen and colonization of host epitheliocytes, and the production of effector proteins causes the development of diarrhea and intestinal inflammation. Cholera vibrio secretion system of the 6th type has a structure similar to other gram-negative bacteria. The genes encoding the proteins of this system are located in one large region of the second chromosome and in several additional clusters. It has been shown that toxigenic strains of V. cholerae contain an identical set of secretion system genes, while their composition is variable in non-toxigenic isolates. The regulation of secretion system protein expression differs in V. cholerae strains of different toxigenicity, depends on a number of environmental signals, and is associated with other cell regulatory networks. The paper provides experimental data on the analysis of the structure of the global regulatory gene, vasH, of the type VI secretion system in toxigenic and non-toxigenic V. cholerae O1, biovar El Tor strains isolated in the Russian Federation. Thus, the type VI secretion system is an important mechanism that facilitates the survival of V. cholerae in complex communities in vitro, protects against damaging factors of the macroorganism and increases virulence in vivo, and also provides evolutionary transformations of cholera vibrio. Further study of this system will allow a better understanding of the pathogen-host interaction processes, as well as the adaptation mechanisms of V. cholerae in the external environment.
