A PRESENÇA E AS CARACTERÍSTICAS DA ASTRONOMIA NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DO PEDAGOGO: UMA ANÁLISE DOS PROJETOS PEDAGÓGICOS DE CURSOS DO BRASIL
Authors: Dias e Dias Thayná Cristina , Sitko Camila Maria , Langhi Rodolfo
Published: October 2023

RESUMO: A Astronomia ainda é pouco estudada nos cursos de graduação, especialmente no curso de Pedagogia, embora o ensino desse conteúdo seja recomendado desde os anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A fim de compreendermos como se dá essa relação entre a Astronomia e a formação inicial do pedagogo, esta pesquisa visa investigar a presença e as características da Astronomia nos Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos (PPC) de Pedagogia presentes nas universidades federais das capitais dos 26 estados brasileiros e do Distrito Federal. Os resultados apontam a existência de elementos de Astronomia em apenas seis disciplinas, as quais são analisadas de acordo com critérios específicos da análise de conteúdo categorial de Bardin. Considera-se que essa insuficiência na formação dos pedagogos pode acarretar uma deficiência na formação científica dos alunos do Ensino Fundamental, havendo, portanto, a necessidade de revisão do currículo de Pedagogia, de forma a contemplar uma Educação em Astronomia indicada para o ensino na Educação Básica.
Voices from the Global South: the mediatization of feminisms in a podcast by Brazilian women around the world
Authors: Pelúcio Larissa
Published: October 2023

Abstract The podcast Femigrantes BR is defined as “a space for conversation among feminist-immigrant women around the world”. The podcast had 21 episodes, gathering stories of Brazilian women who live and work in several countries. In the voices of the interviewees, life stories expand beyond the personal account and connect with firmly established structures such as racism and the unequal relations between the Global North and South. Taking that object and scenario, I investigate what has been the contribution of feminisms, as political discourse, to the “empowerment” of those migrant women and analyse how the media coverage of the feminist debate reflects on the way they act in the public life of the country in which they now live. In the effort to attend to these points, I engage in an immersion in digital media and, in dialogue with contributions from feminist media, technology, decolonial, postcolonial studies, I discuss how the feminist occupation of the internet can potentiate social transformations in unequal gender structures and contribute to challenge hierarchies between North and Global South.

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze scientific articles about School and Educational Psychology, specifically related to the training of psychologists. We carried out a systematic review of articles (2009-2019), using the Portal Periódicos CAPES platform, using the descriptors “school psychology AND psychologist training” and “educational psychology AND psychologist training”. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and identifying repeated articles, we proceeded with the selection by reading the publications, resulting in a total of 26 articles, mostly published in the Revista de Psicologia Escolar e Educational. In the discussions, we identified the use of traditional practices, clinical instruments and clinical practices as a questioning point related to forms of stigmatization and the absence of theoretical references specific to School Psychology. As for training in the area, questions emerge about initial and continuing training, little curricular space for School Psychology and Historical-Cultural Psychology as a methodological alternative for action.

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Tensions of the Historiographic Traces of Brazilian Zouk – This article aims to disseminate information about Brazilian Zouk and contribute to the historical understanding of Brazilian dances through critical reflection. To this end, we researched various bibliographic sources, such as articles, theses, dissertations, videos, and reports, in addition to personal notes. The analysis showed disputes concerning the following aspects: 1) the rise of the musical rhythm and dance; 2) the use of basic and competitive movements; 3) the process of commodification; and 4) contemporary issues related to the body. It is important to emphasize that this work is motivated by the necessity to broaden the debate on dance historiography in the country.
Reflections on the Popular in the Context of the Grupo Mamulengo de Cheiroso de Teatro de Bonecos
Authors: Silva Pedro Rodrigues Pereira da
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Reflections on the Popular in the Context of the Grupo Mamulengo de Cheiroso de Teatro de Bonecos – This article presents and discusses the notion of popular culture and theater based on the experience of the Grupo Mamulengo de Cheiroso de Teatro de Bonecos (Aracaju/SE), a popular nucleus with a specific relationship with the academic space. The study is a partial result of a master’s research and makes extensive use of literature review, primary sources, and interviews. Through these discussions, a critical view of popular theater is obtained, which can manifest itself in different places, modes, and contexts, deviating from a stereotyped and largely homogeneous view of these phenomena, resulting from literary production that approaches history from the perspective of lettered culture.

Published: October 2023

Resumen Este estudio cualitativo pretende explorar las transformaciones experimentadas a nivel emocional, físico y social por cuidadoras familiares de pacientes con enfermedad de Huntington en la costa Caribe de Colombia. Las participantes se seleccionaron de la base de datos de la Fundación Factor H, lográndose un punto de saturación teórica con 10 historias de vida narradas desde la voz del cuidador y recolectadas entre agosto de 2020 y mayo de 2021. La guía de preguntas se refinó mediante panel de expertos y se empleó bajo el consentimiento de las participantes. La categoría central “Huntington, la enfermedad que transforma todo a su paso” se desagregó a partir de tres subcategorías: “Transforma mi mundo”, “Transforma mi corazón y mi alma” y “Transforma mi cuerpo”; a partir de las cuales se obtuvo que el cuidado es ejercido en su totalidad por mujeres, quienes experimentaron pérdidas en diferentes esferas: educativo, social, laboral, afectivo con fuertes impactos en su salud física, emocional y, por ende, en su vida cotidiana. Se concluye que la enfermedad de Huntington está permeada por señales adversas para el paciente, su cuidador y la familia; de ahí la necesidad de centrar esfuerzos colectivos para su abordaje integral.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the seasonal variation of gastrointestinal parasitic infections in goats and sheep in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. Fecal samples were collected directly from the rectal ampulla of the animals to count the eggs per gram in the feces at 30-day intervals over the 12-month study period. This study included 40 small ruminants, comprising 22 goats (14 sows, 6 kids, and 2 sires) and 18 sheep (13 sows, 4 lambs, and 1 sire). The study assessed the variation in the excretion of gastrointestinal nematode eggs during the dry and rainy seasons. Coproculture was performed to identify third-stage larvae. In the 12 months of research and monthly sample collections, 95.9% and 82.3% of the eggs detected were endoparasites in the fecal samples of the goats and sheep, respectively. Eimeria spp. oocysts were present in 50.6% and 30.4% of the goat and sheep fecal samples, respectively. The results indicated that the mean number of eggs per gram of feces was higher in the rainy season than in the dry season in both goats and sheep. The genera of gastrointestinal nematodes identified via monthly coproculture tests were Haemonchus sp., Trichostrongylus sp., and Oesophagostomum sp. Thus, gastrointestinal nematode parasitism was higher in goats and sheep during the rainy season than in the dry season, and the genera Haemonchus sp. and Trichostrongylus sp. were the most prevalent.

Published: October 2023

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the pruning management of the BRS Tupy and Brazos blackberry cultivars, in order to extend their harvest seasonality and fruit yield. The experiment was performed in an altitude subtropical region in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Bushes were grown at 3.0x0.5 m spacing. The treatments consisted of the four following pruning seasons: one conventional pruning, with suppression of the produced stems in February and reduction of the stems in July; and three drastic pruning performed in the first two weeks of January, March, and May, with the application of 10% urea and 3% hydrogenated cyanamide five months later. The experimental design was in randomized complete blocks, in a 2x4 factorial arrangement, with two cultivars and four pruning managements, with four blocks. Fruit phenology, yield, and physicochemical quality were evaluated in two production cycles. It is possible to extend the harvest season of blackberry up to five months, in an altitude subtropical region in Lavras, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, with drastic pruning in January and no irrigation. Drastic pruning in January or March increases the yield of the BRS Tupy and Brazos blackberry cultivars. The extended harvest season does not affect the quality of blackberries and does not create challenges for harvesting operations.

Published: October 2023

Abstract The objective of this work was to identify the effect of potassium rates on Bt transgenic resistance and damage caused by Spodoptera frugiperda in corn plants at different developmental stages. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in a 3x6 factorial arrangement, with three potassium rates (0, 45, and 90 kg ha-1) and six corn hybrids (20A55Hx, 30A77PW, AG1051, MG652PW, NS90VTPro2, and NS92VTPro), with three replicates. The hybrids were evaluated through the analysis of canonical variables. With low potassium rates, the effectiveness of the corn hybrids in controlling the S. frugiperda caterpillar decreases in the different phenological stages. The use of the Bt technology is more efficient under an adequate potassium rate of 90 kg ha-1 KCl.

Abstract The objective of this work was to determine the genetic correlations and the direct and indirect associations of agronomic traits and grain quality attributes with the percentage of whole grains in flood irrigated rice. The experiment was carried out in two environments, in a randomized complete block design with three replicates, using 23 irrigated rice genotypes. The evaluated traits were: percentage of whole grains, caryopsis length, caryopsis width, panicle length, panicle weight, 1,000 grain weight, days to flowering, percentage of chalky grains with white belly, total chalky area, total whiteness, vitreous whiteness, and defects in coloring. The percentage of grains with white belly and total chalky area were positively correlated, whereas the percentage of grains with white belly and vitreous whiteness were negatively correlated. The traits caryopsis width, percentage of chalky grains with white belly, panicle weight, and 1,000 grain weight showed indirect effects on whole-grain yield response according to total chalky area and total whiteness. Total chalky area and total whiteness are the factors that most negatively influence the percentage of whole grains according to the genotypic correlations and direct effects.
A Study of the Customer Valuation System and International Harmonization of the Transfer Pricing Taxation System
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Suh Jung-Woo , Choi Myeong-Cheol
Published: October 2023

Purpose - This research is based on international trends and the U.S. response to problems caused by the overlap of the tariff evaluation system and the transfer price tax system. This study intends to review the existence of the domestic tariff evaluation system and transfer price tax system.
Design/Methodology/Approach - In this study, only the upper transfer price adjustment, which leads to the collection of tariffs, is considered in the customs evaluation system, and the discussion was conducted with a sense of the current situation in which taxpayers are unilaterally disadvantaged. To this end, after analyzing international trends in problems caused by the overlap of the tariff evaluation system and the transfer price tax system, a new method of Korea's tariff evaluation system and transfer price tax system was proposed.
Findings - As a result of analyzing discussions by the World Customs Organization (WCO), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), it is desirable to consider a transfer price adjustment in the tariff evaluation system. However, since it is clear that compensation adjustments or some price adjustments affect the tariff evaluation system, it is very important to clarify that effect in the relevant guidelines.
Research Implications - Currently, it can be said that the correction disposition by the transfer price tax system in Korea does not affect the tariff evaluation system. However, since it is clear that compensation adjustments or some price adjustments affect the tariff evaluation system, it is important to clarify that effect in the relevant guidelines.
Keeping Memory Alive: Jewish Identity, Lyric Address, and Third Generation Poetics
Authors: Hofman Anna
Published: October 2023

This article explores the characteristics of Jewish third-generation (post-Shoah) experiential writing through the poetry collection Under månen (2020) by author Hanna Rajs. Discussing the portrayal of Jewish identity, coupled with a specific generational situatedness, twice removed from the Shoah yet carrying the responsibility of its memory into the future, the article reveals how the lyrical subject negotiates belonging and memory on various levels: individual, familial, communal, and collective. By engaging with acts of self-positioning, the subject travels dynamically across temporal and spatial borders through memory. This, in turn, underlines the forward direction of third-generation writing as well as its outward reach, combining cultural and communicative memory and playing with lyric address. The poetry drives readers to engage with memory of the Shoah and the experience of being Jewish today as mediated through one lyrical subject's lens.
Removal of arsenic and metal ions from acidic effluents via the Fenton reaction method
Authors: Wang Y.
Published: October 2023

Arsenic-bearing acidic effluent from hydrometallurgical processes contains many harmful metal ions and must be appropriately treated before discharge. In the present study, arsenic, copper, zinc, aluminum, and magnesium were co-precipitated by means of the Fenton reaction. The precipitates obtained under different conditions were investigated to determine their stability. The results indicate that pH value and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dosage have significant effects on the removal of various elements. Arsenic, copper, zinc, and aluminum (but not magnesium) can be removed at pH 5-6 and anH2O2/As mole ratio of 2 at ambient temperature. The precipitates were mainly amorphous and granular with particle size in the micrometre range. The arsenic concentration in leachate from the toxicity characteristic leaching test was 3.6 mg/L, which proves that the precipitates are effective in fixing arsenic.
The thermal decomposition kinetics of carbonaceous and ferruginous manganese ores in atmospheric conditions
Authors: Hockaday S.A.C. , Dinter F. , Reynolds Q.G.
Published: October 2023

The thermal decomposition of carbonate minerals as pre-treatment before smelting reduces the energy requirement for smelting. It can also make the combustion of fossil fuels for heating unnecassary. Thermal decomposition may become important in reducing greenhouse gas emissions when producing ferromanganese alloys while simultaneously reducing electrical energy demand during smelting. A kinetic reaction rate model for the thermal decomposition of manganese ores is presented, based on published reaction rate kinetics for the decomposition of manganese oxides and calcium carbonate. The model was validated against thermogravimetric data for two carbonaceous manganese ore samples and one ferruginous manganese ore sample. The reaction rate model shows that carbonate minerals in the manganese ores are decomposed at temperatures above 900 °C while pyrolusite is decomposed at temperatures from 450 °C to 500 °C. Mn2O3 decomposes rapidly at 550 °C. Braunite decomposition at temperatures below 1000 °C was negligible. The presence of organic carbon in the samples led to further reduction of the samples during thermal treatment.

Published: October 2023

The use of secret cooperation for the purpose of investigating criminal offenses is an established and effective practice that ensures timely identification and prevention of crimes, allows to prevent the commission of crimes. However, today this activity is actually outside the law, as it is not regulated by legislation and is not properly regulated at the level of subordinate acts. The purpose of the article is to refine the problem of legislative regulation of using secret cooperation for the purpose of investigating criminal offenses. The main results of the study are the justification that the use of secret cooperation for the purpose of investigating criminal offenses should be based on the norms of the law, which would establish the activity, which in theory and in practice is called «operative search». At the same time, proposals on determining the content of operative search and the list and content of specific measures that are tools for its implementation are given. Those of these tools, the conspiratorial use of which can be entrusted to undercover employees, are identified, namely: interviewing people with their voluntary consent; inspection of publicly accessible objects; inspection of publicly inaccessible objects with the voluntary consent of the persons under whose control they are; receiving confidential information with the consent of persons who have access to it; search surveillance. The research made it possible to come to the conclusion that in order to legally regulate the use of secret cooperation for the purpose of investigating criminal offenses, the Law of Ukraine «On operative-search activity» requires: first, to regulate operative search as the initial stage of operative-search activity, at which operative units, on their own initiative, take measures to find and record information on: preparation of a crime; attempts to commit crimes; committing a completed (but undetected) crime; secondly, to the grounds of operative-search activity (Article 6 of the Law of Ukraine «On operative-search activity»), include the item: «prevention, early detection and suppression of crimes and expose the causes and conditions conducive to the crime»; thirdly, submit a comprehensive list of operational-search measures; fourthly, to provide for the possibility of conspiratorial implementation of specific operational-search measures by an undercover employee; fifth, separately and in detail regulate the most important issues of secret cooperation, namely: its content and forms, the mechanism of attracting people to cooperation, the powers of secret employees, the issue of ensuring their conspiracy, security and social protection, etc.
The Hematological Assessment of Toxic Effects Induced by Bisphenol A (BPA) in Oreochromis mossambicus Fish Species
Authors: Meghwal Purushottam , Gupta Anuja
Published: October 2023

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial chemical that has been detected in various aquatic environments. BPA is known to have endocrine-disrupting effects on aquatic organisms, but its impact on the hematological system is not well understood. In this study, we exposed Oreochromis mossambicus, a freshwater fish species, to different concentrations of BPA (1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg/L) for 20 days and measured the changes in their hematological parameters. We found that BPA exposure caused a significant decrease in red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, and packed cell volume (PCV) in the fish compared to the control and solvent control groups. The decrease in these parameters was dose-dependent, meaning that higher concentrations of BPA resulted in lower values. We also found that BPA exposure affected the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of the fish, indicating that BPA altered the size and shape of the red blood cells. These results suggest that BPA has a negative impact on the blood system of the fish, affecting their oxygen transport, immunity, and hydration. The possible mechanisms of BPA-induced hematological alterations may involve oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and immune suppression. Therefore, BPA poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of Oreochromis mossambicus and other aquatic organisms. The present study has concluded that the BPA exposure can cause anemia, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction in Oreochromis mossambicus fish, depending on the dose and duration of exposure.

Published: October 2023

Polyphenols are phytochemicals found in various plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts. They have been associated with numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic effects. In India, understanding the polyphenol content of seasonal fruits is essential due to the potential health benefits associated with their consumption. Several studies have analyzed the polyphenol content of various fruits, such as grapes, guavas, mangoes, pomegranates, and amla. The results have shown that the polyphenol content varies among fruits depending on factors such as ripeness, growing conditions, and method of extraction. A diet rich in polyphenols has been suggested to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, identifying the polyphenol content of seasonal fruits in India can aid in promoting healthier food choices and potentially preventing chronic diseases.

BACKGROUND: The new coronavirus pandemic has dramatically impacted our lives. This study aimed to analyze the structural changes in providing emergency surgical care to children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
AIM: The purpose of this work was to analyze.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compared the number of people seeking emergency surgical care in the emergency department during the period of strict coronavirus restrictions to the same period the previous year (2019) and the number of patients hospitalized for emergency surgical treatment.
RESULTS: Compared with the pre-COVID period, the number of visits from children with suspected acute surgical pathology (acute appendicitis, purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues, and injuries of the abdomen and chest) decreased by more than twofold (from 527 to 241 patients, p 0.01). A similar trend was observed with hospitalizations, which significantly decreased from 139 to 66 children (p 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: The data revealed referral and hospitalization characteristics of children with acute surgical pathology. Thus, the new coronavirus pandemic has significantly impacted the delivery of emergency surgical care to children.
Discrimination of Seismic Events in the North Korean Test Site and Surrounding Area Using MDAC Spectral Ratio
Authors: Ding Shiban , Wang Hongchun , Zhu Haofeng , Xu Henglei , Xu Xiong
Published: October 2023

An event of ML 3.7 occurred near the Punggye-ri nuclear test site on 11 February 2022. It was stronger than the known historical earthquakes around the North Korean test site (NKTS). How to accurately identify whether this event and future events near NKTS are explosions or natural earthquakes is worth paying attention to. For moderate and small earthquakes, the regional P/S spectral ratio has the advantage of identifying explosions and earthquakes. However, the P/S spectral ratio depends on magnitude and ray path. Magnitude and distance amplitude correction (MDAC) was proposed and demonstrated to be an effective method to correct magnitude and path effect. Different from the traditional MDAC method, we use explosions to build the MDAC model to reduce the influence of the source radiation pattern. After building the MDAC model, we analyze the Pg/Lg and Pn/Lg spectral ratios of 6 nuclear tests and 60 earthquakes at the NKTS from 2013 to 2021. The results show that the spectral ratio residuals of the 6 nuclear tests are mainly distributed around 0 after correction, whereas the spectral ratio residuals of earthquakes are obviously <0 above 3 Hz and are clearly distinguished from explosions as expected. The Pg/Lg and Pn/Lg spectral ratios of the ML 3.7 earthquake near the NKTS on 11 February 2022 exhibit similar characteristics to historical natural earthquakes. We further discuss the influence of magnitude on P/S spectral ratios. In the NKTS, the differences in the P/S ratio between earthquakes and explosions are similar before and after magnitude correction at 4–8 Hz. Nevertheless, the magnitude correction increases by ∼27% of the difference between explosions and natural earthquakes at 6–9 Hz to better separate explosions from natural earthquakes.

Published: October 2023

Large-scale processing and dissemination of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data are among the greatest computational challenges and opportunities of seismological research today. Current data formats and computing infrastructure are not well-adapted or user-friendly for large-scale processing. We propose an innovative, cloud-native solution for DAS seismology using the MinIO open-source object storage framework. We develop data schema for cloud-optimized data formats—Zarr and TileDB, which we deploy on a local object storage service compatible with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) storage system. We benchmark reading and writing performance for various data schema using canonical use cases in seismology. We test our framework on a local server and AWS. We find much-improved performance in compute time and memory throughout when using TileDB and Zarr compared to the conventional HDF5 data format. We demonstrate the platform with a computing heavy use case in seismology: ambient noise seismology of DAS data. We process one month of data, pairing all 2089 channels within 24 hr using AWS Batch autoscaling.

Повномасштабне вторгнення Росії в Україну 24 лютого 2022 року дало поштовх для трансформації наявної міжнародної системи відносин та безпеки. Одне з найбільш актуальних питань — чи можливо сподіватися сьогодні на міжнародну підтримку України країн Латинської Америки під час жорстокої російської агресії? Чи завжди на голосуванні у Генеральній асамблеї ООН вони стають на бік України, коли йдеться про нашу територіальну цілісність, про надання допомоги у справі постачання озброєння, гуманітарної допомоги тощо? Попри географічну віддаленість України від регіону країн Латинської Америки потрібно користуватися усіма важелями їх впливу і підтримки України на міжнародній арені: демонстраціями, мітингами, збором коштів, наданням зброї, співпрацею з діаспорами та ін.

The fundamental myth of sublimation is an important element of the Napoleonic legend. In sublimity we see general contours, devoid of everyday life. At work, the myth of sublimation was confronted with the difficult existence of Polish soldiers in 1807. History is an idiographic science, showing the whole wealth attitudes actions, facts, processes, interpretations, which is why I not intend to depreciate the heroic military history in the Napoleonic period and the myth of sublimation.

Background: The present study evaluated the bread bakery waste (BaW) containing ration on growth and nutrient utilization of meat quail. Methods: Three hundred straight run, day old quail chicks of same hatch were randomly divided into five treatment groups, namely T0 (maize-soya based basal ration, containing no BaW), T1 (5% maize in quail ration was replaced with BaW), T2 (containing 10% BaW as maize replacement), T3 (15% BaW as maize replacement) and T4 (20% BaW as maize substitute). All the diets formulated were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Experimental trial lasts for 42 days. Different growth traits viz., feed intake (FI), body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) was measured weekly. A metabolism trial of 4 days was carried out after 28 days of feeding trial and economics was also calculated. Result: Results revealed no adverse effect of replacing maize flakes with BaW up to 20% on different growth traits viz. weekly FI, BW, BWG, FCR and PER. The metabolizability of nutrients also remained statistically similar irrespective of different dietary treatments. But, Cost benefit ratio was better in T0 and T1 followed by T2 and T3 and was least in T4. It may be concluded that maize flakes can be safely replaced by BaW up to 15% in quail ration in an economical manner.

As a result of the clinical study NCT04817501 “Phenotypic characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in tumors of the female reproductive system”, we developed a method for preoperative prediction of a recurrence risk in patients with stage T1 endometrial cancer (Patent No. 2762493 of 21.12.2021).

The article presents a clinical case of the use of multicolor flow cytometry in liquid biopsy of breast cancer (BC). CTCs were detected in the blood of a patient with T2N0M0 BC, stage IIA before the initiation of treatment. Using multicolor flow cytometry, various CTC phenotypes were studied and the Her2/neu and ki-67 markers were determined. These markers were also studied in the biopsy and surgical material of the BC tissue using immunohistochemistry. As a result of the study, it was shown that the molecular profile of CTCs in the blood taken before fine needle aspiration biopsy coincided with that of cancer cells in the BC tissue. In addition, the calculated risk of tumor progression before biopsy predicted recurrence of cancer in this patient 20 months before its occurrence. The obtained results show the practical utility of multicolor flow cytometry in liquid biopsy of cancers. The ability to evaluate CTCs by various molecular parameters can be useful for diagnosing, predicting, monitoring, and determining treatment strategies for cancer patients.

Aim. To carry out a 12-month study on the prognostic role of humoral markers responsible for the main mechanisms of initiation of cardiotoxic myocardial damage (endothelin-1, soluble Fas-L, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP9, soluble form of the ST2 protein (sST2), a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, and tetranectin) in assessing the risk of progression of anthracycline-related left ventricular dysfunction.

Materials and methods. The study included a total of 114 women aged 48.0 (46.0; 52.0) years without concomitant cardiovascular diseases and risk factors who received chemotherapy with anthracyclines in the past. The levels of serum biomarkers were determined using the enzyme immunoassay. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed at baseline and at 12 months of follow-up.

Results. After 12 months of follow-up, all patients were retrospectively divided into 2 groups: group 1 (n = 54) included patients with an unfavorable course of anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction (ARCD), group 2 (n = 60) encompassed patients with a favorable course of the disease. According to the ROC analysis, MMP-2 ≥ ≥ 338.8 pg / ml (sensitivity 57%, specificity 78%; AUC = 0.629; p = 0.025), MMP-9 ≥ 22.18 pg / ml (sensitivity 89%, specificity 87%; AUC = 0.886; p < 0.001), sST2 ≥ 32.4 ng / ml (sensitivity 64%, specificity 70.5%; AUC = 0.691; p = 0.002), and tetranectin ≤ 15.4 pg / ml (sensitivity 69%, specificity 72%; AUC = 0.764; p < 0.001) were identified as predictors of an adverse course of ARCD. When comparing ROC curves, it was found that the concentration of MMP-9 (p = 0.002) was the most significant predictor of the progression of ARCD.

Conclusion. MMP-2 and -9, soluble ST2, and tetranectin can be considered as non-invasive markers for assessing the risk of ARCD progression. At the same time, an increased level of MMP-9 is the most significant predictor of ARCD progression.

Published: October 2023

Being a traditional institution of culture, knowledge preservation and transfer, a relatively stable form of organizing social life, ensuring strength of ties and relationships within a society, in the context of its systemic transformations, developing digitalization of resources and communications, the library has the potential, the implementation of which can determine new models of action. In this regard, it becomes important to develop a model for adapting the activities of libraries in the region to the modern system of communications. For to elaborate a specific strategy, it is important to comprehend the development of library and information systems in the context of the historical and cultural development.The libraries of Uzbekistan served as the research object of the paper. The process of their systematic formation in this region started in 1918. The Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, which entered the USSR, was created in October 24, 1924. Since that time, there began active creation of mass, special scientific, university and scientific technological libraries. The policy of mass library centralization carried out in the USSR in the 1970s–1980s contributed to the centralized collection acquisition, improvement of library services for different population segments, and raising the library personnel qualification. The library system was formed in the republic, which was systematically supported by the state.The article object is, basing on previously published and new information obtained from statistical collections and documents of state archives, which were not examined by specialists, to concretize concepts about forming and developing libraries in Uzbekistan as a part of the USSR library system for to determine future regularities and trends in the republican library and information system development.
