THE STUDY OF LIPOFUSCIN LEVELS IN THE 5xFAD MOUSE MODEL OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Authors: Чаплыгина А.В. , Ковалев В.И. , Жданова Д.Ю.
Published: January 2024

В работе оценивали изменение уровня липофусцина — аутофлюоресцирующего пигмента старения в головном мозгу и периферических тканях у мышей линии 5xFAD в модели болезни Альцгеймера. Проведен сравнительный анализ содержания липофусцина в гомогенатах печени, почек, сердца и различных отделов головного мозга мышей 5xFAD, а также мышей контрольной группы из тех же пометов. Полученные данные хорошо коррелируют с понятием липофусцина как пигмента старения — его количество увеличивается с возрастом как у животных контрольной группы, так и у мышей линии 5xFAD. Нами было отмечено прогрессирующее с возрастом накопление липофусцина у мышей линии 5xFAD, детектируемое как в разных отделах мозга, так и в периферических органах. При этом уровень липофусцина был повышен даже у новорожденных мышей линии 5xFAD. Таким образом, повышение уровня липофусцина у мышей линии 5xFAD является одним из ранних нарушений, проявляющихся не только в мозгу, но и в других органах.

In this study, we evaluated the change in the level of lipofuscin, an autofluorescent aging pigment, in brain and peripheral tissues in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) — 5xFAD. A comparative analysis of the content of lipofuscin in homogenates of the liver, kidneys, heart, and various parts of the brain of 5xFAD mice, as well as control mice from the same litters of different ages, was carried out. The data obtained correlate well with the concept of lipofuscin as an aging pigment — its amount increases with age in both control and 5xFAD mice. We noted accumulation of lipofuscin progressive with age in 5xFAD mice, which is detected both in different parts of the brain and in peripheral organs. At the same time, the level of lipofuscin was increased even in newborn day-old mice 5xFAD. Thus, an increase in the level of lipofuscin in 5xFAD mice is one of the earliest disorders that manifests itself not only in the brain, but also in other organs.

Authors: Ditruna Abubakar , Sumarto Sumarto , Suryana Asep , Surachman Eka
Published: January 2024

The objective of this study was to establish a lecturer development model that enhances the global competitiveness of higher education by focusing on integrity and competence, in accordance with international norms. This study employed a hybrid methodology, consisting of two distinct stages: quantitative and qualitative.  The structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis reveals that the direct relationship between integrity and competence is 0.458. Furthermore, the impact of integrity on performance is 0.446, while the effect of competence on performance is 0.460.  It can be inferred that everything is in a state of moderation.  One of the aspects that affects the worldwide competitiveness of higher education is the calibre of instructors. Proficient instructors possess exceptional honesty and expertise, enabling them to generate superior scientific works that are pertinent to societal demands. An important criterion for assessing the proficiency of a lecturer is their aptitude for publishing scholarly research in esteemed international publications, particularly those that are accredited by Scopus. Utilising Scopus publications can enhance the integrity and competence of teachers. The integrity of a lecturer can be assessed based on the calibre of their scientific output, whereas the competency of a lecturer can be evaluated by the extent to which their scientific work aligns with worldwide norms.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to describe the level of moral reasoning of adolescents in Yogyakarta with different levels of education as a measuring tool for comparison of results and examine them using a systemic-relational paradigm. The research design was a quantitative descriptive survey of adolescents in three secondary schools using purposive sampling. There were 94 junior high school, 93 high school, and 90 vocational high school students. The instrument used in this study was Rest's Defining Issues Test (DIT2) to measure adolescent moral reasoning. The results showed that students' ethical reasoning at different levels of education was mainly at level II (conventional), with stage 4, which was oriented towards legal, social, and religious order, or law and order. The data were then analysed and reviewed using a relational systemic paradigm approach to determine the factors that influence the moral reasoning of adolescents at school. Students' moral reasoning is influenced by their interactions with their environment, family, peers, educational institutions, personal experiences, culture, religion, and perceptions of justice and truth. This paradigm recognises that moral reasoning is not only the result of individual processes but is also influenced by broader environmental factors. Therefore, moral education must focus on students' social and ecological contexts to facilitate the development of better moral reasoning.
