Language training courses as a form of interaction between the university and business
Authors: Morozova A. L.
Published: January 2024

Today, universities are quite actively establishing various forms of interaction with business, including in the field of establishing language training courses within the framework of education transfer. Here the author presents a unique experience of business interaction in the person of the Moscow Law firm and the Center for Innovative Educational and Language Strategies of the Department of English and Professional Communication of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. This research aims to study the experience of designing and implementing online language training courses «English for lawyers» for lawyers practicing international law. As it is an on-going project, the author presents the first results of the study (May – June 2023). The development of educational tracks of the course determined the reference to the ideas of personality oriented and CLIL approaches. When verifying the content of education, the author relied on the initial language proficiency level of the students and on the author’s experience in teaching Legal English, in addition, on author’s developments, materials from authentic textbooks, legal websites and newspapers, court archives available on court websites, etc. The task set by the client – the development of communication skills in the field of Legal English – largely determined the choice of teaching methods. Here the author provides parts of classes based on: case method, business and role-playing games, elements of an inverted class, etc. The obtained primary results not only testify to the effectiveness of the work done in the course of interaction between the university and business, but also allow us to foresee promising directions in the given direction, for instance: the opening of new and promising areas of training of bachelor and master students that meet the latest trends in labour market development, etc.

Identifying the discriminative value of leukocytes, CRP and Procalcitonin serum level in detecting the anastomosis leakage after gastrointestinal surgery
Authors: Sobhanian Ehsan , Notash Aidin Yaghoobi , Moghimi Zahra , Amoli Hadi Ahmadi , Sobhanian Ali , Sadeghian Ehsan
Published: January 2024

Background: Anastomosis leakage is a pivotal post colorectal surgery, threatening patient survival. Unspecific clinical presentations prolong the diagnostic process, potentially reducing the effectiveness of interventions. This situation has highlighted the need for a biomarker that enables early prediction of anastomosis leakage (AL). Previous studies suggest the potential utility of serum levels of white blood cells (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) as biomarkers for early detection of AL. Consequently, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the potential correlation of these markers with the occurrence of AL.
Methods: Patients who were referred to the hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences from November 2018 to January 2020 were evaluated for inclusion in the study. After obtaining informed consents, 277 cases were enrolled in the study. Serum levels of WBC, CRP, and PCT were measured preoperatively and up to five days postoperation. A statistical correlation analysis was conducted using SPSS software (version 24).
Results: Among the 277 cases, 14 exhibited AL. The highest sensitivity and specificity for AL were observed for CRP on the second and third post-operative days. PCT, however, showed higher utility on the fourth post-operative day with 57% sensitivity, 56% specificity (p-value = 0.001 for the second day and 0.002 on the third day), and a negative predictive value of 96%. These values changed to 36%, 64%, and 95% respectively on the fifth postoperative day, which remains within the acceptable range (p-value = 0.018).
Conclusions: Both CRP and PCT have potential utility as diagnostic biomarkers for the presence of AL and can significantly accelerate the diagnosis period. For the highest sensitivity and specificity, CRP should be used on the second and third post-operative days. The optimal utility for PCT, however, is on the fourth post-operative day.

Published: January 2024

Background: Sigmoid and rectal cancers are common malignancies that necessitate surgical resection as the primary treatment modality. However, surgery can significantly impact the quality of life (QoL) of patients, particularly in terms of bowel function, sexual function, and psychological well-being. This study aimed to compare the QoL of patients who underwent surgery for sigmoid and rectal cancers
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 90 patients who underwent elective surgery for sigmoid or rectal cancer between January 2019 and December 2021 at the center. The QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR29 questionnaires were utilized to assess the QoL of patients post-surgery. The QoL scores between the two groups were compared using t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: The average age of the patients was years, and 57.8% were females. The sigmoid group comprised 44 patients (48.8%) who underwent sigmoid colectomy, and the rectal group consisted of 46 patients (51.2%) who underwent low anterior resection. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics and QLQ-C30 scores between the two groups and also in other categories (sex, age groups, and cancer stages) (p > 0.05). However, a significant difference was observed between the QLQ-CR29 scores of the two surgical groups (p < 0.05). QLQ-CR29 was not significantly different between sex and age groups and cancer stages (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: The study demonstrated that surgery for sigmoid and rectal cancers deteriorated the QoL of patients, irrespective of the type of surgery or the location of the tumor. There was no significant difference in the QoL between the sigmoid and rectal groups measured by QLQ-C30. However, QLQ-CR29 showed significantly better QoL for the rectal group.

Local housing strategies in Poland as a tool to develop social and affordable housing: barriers for development
Authors: Cieśla Agnieszka
Published: January 2024

Polish municipalities need to align with the trend of social housing development, expanding beyond public housing providers. The paper seeks to diagnose the barriers to developing well-defined housing strategies at the local level in Poland. Based on existing housing strategies of some Polish municipalities and the experience gained during work on a housing strategy for a medium-sized city in Poland, the following impediments were identified: a lack of robust demographic data,  insufficient housing inventories, and a need for skilled experts and guidance for structured strategies. Given the impending EU investments in housing, local strategies gain significance, particularly in crisis-affected cities. The forthcoming financial aid for social housing amplifies the necessity for well-crafted housing strategies in Poland.

The best investment for female employees to promote breastfeeding at work is tha availability of lactation room. This research sought to explore the lactation room at work experiences from the persepective of employed women and field leaders. This research used an exploratory qualitative design with multi-perspective semi-structured interview. Snowball sampling was employed to recruit ten informants, field leaders (n=5) and employed women (=5), from Surabaya City Department of Education. Interviews were conducted between January until April 2023 to capture informants' experiences with breastfeeding in the lactation room. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data. Four key themes that described experiences of lactation room emerged which further traversed three critical maternity phase: pregnacy, maternity leave, and return to work. The prevalent themes are: 1) Knowledge about the regulation and lactation room support benefits. Most informants only knew about the regulated three months maternity leave. 2) Perceptions and experiences of breastfeeding in the lactation room. As a result, experiences in lactation room fulfil breastfeeding needs. 3) Barriers to lactation room continuation, such as the absence of a socialization about lactation room, and 4) Recommendations to increase support for lactation room in the era of gender quality at work from an individu, organizational, and national level.

Ecofeminist art in the United States (1970-1980)
Authors: Saarbach Pascale
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes the emergence of the first ecofeminist artistic practices, as they developed in the 1970s-1980s in the United States. Until recently, the history of ecofeminism was still very confidential, skilfully passed over in silence within the feminist field and virtually unknown in the field of art history. However, the place occupied by artists in the ecofeminist struggle at a very early stage requires us to look back at the history of these pioneering practices in order to clarify their contours and motivations.

Authors: Astuti Santi Dwi , Ayuningtyas Laksmi Putri , Haryani Indah Fitri
Published: January 2024

Noodles are a popular food and are usually made from wheat flour, this causes the level of dependence on wheat flour increase. In previous research, an alternative to the use of modified cassava flour as a substitute for wheat flour has been found and a good product has been obtained, but the product has the disadvantage of low protein content. So that in this study, modifications were made by adding soy flour and skim milk to increase protein levels in mocaf noodles. This research aims to set the proportion of soy flour and skim milk in producing noodles with modified cassava. The other aim is to examine te effect of the proportion of mocaf flour : soy flour and skim milk on the characteristic of the physicochemical and sensory properties of the noodles produced; and comparing physicochemical and sensory characteristics between noodles products using optimum formula, and control (100% wheat flour). This research uses the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with an experimental design using Central Composite Design (CCD). The results of this research are the optimum formula of mocaf dried noodles with the addition of soy flour and skim milk with the highest desirability at 0.786 in the soy flour formula at 8.02%, and skim milk 17.07%. The sensory test results of mocaf dried noodles show that an increase in the proportion of soy flour causes an increase in color response, beany flavor, cooking loss, and rehydration time, as well as causing a decrease in chewiness, cassava flavor, milky flavor, elasticity, preference, and elongation. Increasing the concentration of skim milk causes an increase in chewiness, color, milky flavor, elasticity, preference, cooking loss, and rehydration time and causes a decrease in cassava flavor, beany flavor, and elongation. The average results of the optimum product chemical test have a higher difference in values, including fat content of 1.12%, ash content at 1.22%, and carbohydrates of 5.22%. Meanwhile, water content and protein content have a lower value difference, i.e., the water content of 0.26% and protein content of 7.29%.

Abstrak

Jenis nutrien anorganik seperti nitrat (N), fosfat (P), dan silikat (Si) banyak diserap oleh fitoplankton. Ketiga jenis nutrien itu sangat penting untuk pertumbuhannya. Melalui proses fotosintesis, ketiga nutrien itu dirubah menjadi cadangan makanan dalam bentuk senyawa-senyawa organik seperti karbohidrat. Hasil proses fotosintesis digunakan organisme lainnya dalam tropik level untuk bertumbuh. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis distribusi nutrien anorganik jenis N (nitrat), P (fosfat), dan Si (silikat) untuk kehidupan fitoplankton. Pelaksanaan penelitian pada bulan Juni sampai Oktober 2021 pada tiga stasiun di perairan pesisir Tompotana, Kecamatan Kepulauan Tanakeke, Kabupaten Takalar, Sulawesi Selatan. Pada ketiga stasiun itu, dilakukan pengambilan sampel air untuk keperluan identifikasi fitoplankton dan pengukuran parameter fisika-kimia perairan. Kegiatan yang dilaksanakan di laboratorium seperti identifikasi fitoplankton, pengukuran nitrat, fosfat dan silikat. Berdasarkan analisis varians, konsentrasi nitrat dan fosfat adalah tidak signifikan berbeda (p > 0.05) antara stasiun, sebaliknya konsentrasi silikat justru berbeda secara signifikan (p < 0.05). Nutrien jenis N, P, dan Si masih dapat diserap dan digunakan oleh fitoplankton untuk bertumbuh walau tidak optimal. Sebanyak 4 kelas dan 24 jenis fitoplankton teridentifikasi. Empat kelas yang dimaksud yaitu Bacillariophyceae, Dinophyceae, Cyanophyceae, dan Coscinodiscophyceae. Dari hasil analisis korelasi Pearsons, hanya nitrat yang berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kelimpahan fitoplankton di perairan Tompotana (p<0.05).
Constructive Mathematics with the Predicate of the Current Mathematical Knowledge
Authors: Tyszka Apoloniusz
Published: January 2024

We assume that the current mathematical knowledge K is a finite set of statements from both formal and constructive mathematics, which is time-dependent and publicly available. Any formal theorem of any mathematician from past or present forever belongs to K. We assume that mathematical sets are atemporal entities. In this article, they exist formally in ZFC theory although their properties can be time-dependent (when they depend on K) or informal. Algorithms always terminate. We explain the distinction between algorithms whose existence is provable in ZFC and constructively defined algorithms which are currently known. By using this distinction, we obtain non-trivially true statements on decidable sets X ⊆ N that belong to constructive and informal mathematics and refer to the current mathematical knowledge on X.
No Association between Antimicrobial Consumption and Antimicrobial Resistance in a PrEP Population: A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Vanbaelen Thibaut , Laument Jolein , De Block Tessa , Van Dijck Christophe , Manoharan-Basil Sheeba Santhini , Kenyon Chris
Published: January 2024

Background:
In antibiotic naïve populations, there is a strong association between the use of an antimicrobial and resistance to this antimicrobial. Less evidence is available as to whether this relationship is weakened in populations highly exposed to antimicrobials. Individuals taking HIV PrEP have a high intake of antimicrobials. We previously found that there was no difference in the prevalence of pheno- and genotypic antimicrobial resistance between two groups of PrEP clients who had, and had not, taken antimicrobials in the prior 6-months. Both groups did, however, have a higher prevalence of resistance than a sample of the general population.

Methods:
In the current study, we used zero-inflated negative binomial regression models to evaluate if there was an individual level association between the consumption of antimicrobials and 1. the minimum inhibitory susceptibilities of oral Neisseria subflava and 2. the abundance of antimicrobial resistance genes in the oropharynges of these individuals.

Results:
We found no evidence of an association between the consumption of antimicrobials and the minimum inhibitory susceptibilities of oral Neisseria subflava or the abundance of antimicrobial resistance genes in these individuals.

Conclusions:
We conclude that in high antimicrobial consumption populations, the association between antimicrobial consumption and resistance may be attenuated.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a Host for Chondroitin Production
Authors: Couto Márcia R. , Rodrigues Joana L. , Dias Oscar , Rodrigues Lígia R
Published: January 2024

Chondroitin is a glycosaminoglycan that has gained widespread use in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, mainly for treating osteoarthritis. Traditionally, it has been extracted from animal cartilage but recently, biotechnological processes have emerged as a commercial alternative to avoid the risk of viral or prion contamination and offer a vegan-friendly source. Typically, these methods involve producing the chondroitin backbone using pathogenic bacteria and then modifying it enzymatically through the action of sulfotransferases. Despite the challenges of expressing active sulfotransferases in bacteria, the use of eukaryotic microorganisms is still limited to a few works using Pichia pastoris. To create a safer and efficient biotechnological platform, we have constructed a biosynthetic pathway for chondroitin production in S. cerevisiae as a proof-of-concept. Up to 125 mg/L and 200 mg/L of intracellular and extracellular chondroitin were produced, respectively. Furthermore, as genome-scale models are valuable tools for identifying novel targets for metabolic engineering, a stoichiometric model of chondroitin-producing S. cerevisiae has been developed and used in optimization algorithms. Our research has yielded several novel targets, such as uridine diphosphate(UDP)-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase (QRI1), glucosamine-6-phosphate acetyltransferase (GNA1) or N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate mutase (PCM1) overexpression that might enhance chondroitin production, which will guide future experimental research to develop more efficient host organisms for the biotechnological production process.

Published: January 2024

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD), a common dermatological condition, is often associated with significant economic and social burdens. Despite extensive studies globally, there is a gap in understanding the comprehensive impact of this condition in Romania. Objectives:This study evaluated the economic burden and quality of life impact of AD in Romania, considering both direct and indirect costs. Materials & Methods: A mixed methods cost of illness study was conducted from April to October 2023. A patient survey, expert reviews, and national health data analysis were used to assess direct medical costs (treatments, medical services), direct non-medical costs (transportation, accommodation), and indirect costs (productivity losses). Quality of life was evaluated using the EuroQol EQ-5D-5L instrument. Results: In 2022, the total cost of atopic dermatitis in Romania was 32.983.498 EUR for adults and 31.573.968 EUR for children. Adult costs included 24.534.603 EUR in direct and 8.429.884 EUR in indirect medical costs, with an average annual cost per patient of 447 EUR. Pediatric costs involved 15.026.781 EUR in direct and 16.516.410 EUR in indirect costs, averaging 290 EUR per patient annually. Conclusion: Care expenditure with AD management in Romania is substantially lower than in other countries, posing a significant economic burden, primarily driven by indirect costs. This study provides a foundation for future policy interventions and highlights the need for targeted management strategies for AD.
Base Pairing Promoted the Self-Organization of Genetic Coding, Catalysis, and Free-Energy Transduction
Authors: Carter Charles
Published: January 2024

How Nature discovered genetic coding is a largely ignored question, yet the answer is key to explaining the transition from biochemical building blocks to life. Other, related puzzles also fall inside the aegis enclosing the codes themselves. The peptide bond is unstable with respect to hydrolysis. So, it requires some form of chemical free energy to drive it. Amino acid activation and acyl-transfer are also slow and call for catalysis. All living things must thus also convert free energy and synchronize cellular chemistry. Most importantly, functional proteins occupy only small, isolated regions of sequence space. Nature evolved heritable symbolic data processing to seek out and use those sequences. That system has three parts: a memory of how amino acids behave in solution and inside proteins, a set of code-keys to access that memory, and a scoring function. The code-keys themselves are the genes for cognate pairs of tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, AARS. I outline the surprising links between all these questions and the structural duality of the base-pairing that holds genes together and how those links arise from the experiments.

Published: January 2024

This review provides a detailed analysis of hemodiafiltration (HDF), its progress from an emerging technique to a potential conventional treatment for chronic hemodialysis patients, and its current status. The article covers advances, methodologies, and clinical benefits of HDF, spe-cifically focusing on its impact on cardiovascular health, survival rates, and overall well-being. The text also addresses concerns about the safety of HDF and provides evidence to dispel worries re-lated to the elimination of beneficial substances and infection risks. Additionally, the article ex-plores the potential implications of expanded hemodialysis (HDx) as an alternative to HDF, its classification, safety profile, and an ongoing trial assessing its non-inferiority to HDF. Supported by evidence from randomized controlled trials and observational studies, the review emphasizes the superiority of HDF as a hemodialysis modality, advocating for its positioning as the gold standard in treatment. However, it acknowledges the need for extensive research to define the role of HDx in comprehensive treatment approaches for individuals undergoing dialysis. The synthesis of current knowledge underscores the importance of ongoing exploration and research to refine hemodialysis practices for optimal patient outcomes.
Rainfall-Mining Coupling Effects on Slope Failure Mechanism and Evolution Process: A Case Study of Open-Pit to Underground Mining
Authors: Li Qihang , Wang Yunmin , Li Xiaoshuang , Gong Bin
Published: January 2024

This research examines how rainfall and mining affect the slope damage resulting from the transition from open-pit mining to underground mining. Using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the Huangniu slope of Dexing Copper Mine was fully characterized, and experiments were conducted on rock samples from appropriate sites. First, the mechanical properties of the samples were measured. Then, the parameters of the similarity simulation experiments were derived based on the similarity theory. Subsequently, the rainfall, rock slope, data acquisition and monitoring systems were designed. Finally, the rock mass failure with different slope angles was analyzed, and the deformation and damage patterns under the coupling effect were obtained. The results show that rainfall increases pore water pressure and moisture content. Rainfall and slope-slip water have more impact on the open-pit platform. The pore water pressure values on the upper rock mass rise faster than inside. In the open-pit mining stage, the rock mass shifts slightly to the upper left. In the room mining stage, vertical fractures and goaf sinking occur. The fractures above the mine room form a semi-ellipse. In the pillar mining stage, the overlying rock displacement is evident, and fractures persist. In the continuous pillar mining stage, the overlying rock collapses massively. The 65° slope model is the most damaged, while the 55° slope model is the least damaged. The results also suggest that the UAV guides sample selection.

Authors: Braßler Mirjam
Published: January 2024

Open Education, Open Educational Practices (OEP), and Open Educational Resources (OER) have emerged as significant opportunities for enhancing global sustainability information sharing. However, the creation and sharing of OER, as well as the usage of OEP in Higher Education for Sustainable Development (HESD), remain limited. This study explores the implementation of OEP in HESD, aiming to empower students to co-produce OER on Sustainable Development (SD). This study, drawing on the theoretical approach of the principle of constructive alignment, proposes the development of students’ digital competence in OER production. A two-group pre-test post-test analysis of 409 students (Psychology, Economics, Education, Geography) reveals a significant increase in digital competence over time among students who produced OER on SD, compared to their peers enrolled in courses unrelated to OER content development. We delve into the practical implications for designing OEP in HESD and strategize to support students in their OER production processes.

Published: January 2024

Introduction Acalypha indica (AI) is an Ayurvedic medicinal plant. Some of this plant’s phytochemicals have been reported to cause oxidative stress in red blood cells. However, we know very little about those chemicals due to a dearth of literature. We present a case in which a patient with a previously unidentified glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency experienced acute hemolysis after ingesting fresh AI plant leaves. Case Presentation A 65-year-old man presented with jaundice, pallor, and haematuria following ingestion of the "Kuppamenia mallum" dish. His peripheral blood picture showed bite cells and Heinz bodies. A positive Brewer's test raised the clinical suspicion of G6PD deficiency. Low values of the G6PD level assessment at the follow-up visit confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion Although AI is regarded as a medicinal plant, acute hemolysis can also occur after consumption in G6PD-deficient patients. This case emphasises the need for further research to identify the phytochemicals and their concentrations that can induce toxicity.
