This research examines the life of education, marriage experiences, ideas, and inspirations of Jo March in the movie "Little Women" to face the challenges of women in their views on life. The data was collected from two sources the movie Little Women (2019) and other sources of literature. The result revealed that the feminist thought of life struggle found in several aspects, such as the struggle for freedom, the struggle for education, and the Struggle for happiness. These struggles were fueled by the unfair treatment of women, who were subjected to a patriarchal society that taught them they were less important than men and should adhere to men's decisions. The societal expectation that women's happiness was contingent upon male support further limited their pursuit of independence. In this era, the concept of freedom seemed distant and unattainable for women, highlighting the pervasive and systemic barriers they faced.

Unveiling the Missing Link: Women in Stem Leadership – A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Ali Raza Fahd , Singh Abtar Darshan
Published: May 2024

This paper extensively examined the representation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) within Malaysia, contextualized globally and historically. Existing research affirms the growing presence of women in the workforce (Gupta, 2020; National Academies of Sciences & Medicine, 2020), their progress in higher education (Manongsong & Ghosh, 2021; Vietze et al., 2022), their presence in professional and managerial roles (Burton et al., 2020; Evans & Maley, 2021), and their successful elevation to CEO positions (Dadanlar & Abebe, 2020). However, women continue to be significantly underrepresented in leadership positions, particularly within STEM firms (Hideg & Shen, 2019; National Academies of Sciences & Medicine, 2020). Young Malaysian women excel in both academic and extracurricular STEM activities from primary to university. Despite this gender equity achieved in STEM education, with 29% of tertiary engineering graduates and 57% of science degree holders being female, only 6% of women pursue careers as STEM professionals (Looi, 2022). Additionally, slightly over 4% of women hold leadership roles in technology firms in Malaysia (Amin & Tan, 2018). Using social constructivist and feminist theories, this analysis examines how societal and environmental factors affect girls’ performance in math and science. Educators and parents play a vital role in providing crucial support. This study also highlights a major research gap, particularly in understanding where qualified women in STEM go, especially within Malaysia.

Stock markets, commodity markets, and cryptocurrency markets, have all been negatively affected with the onset of this pandemic covid-19, and the effects are far more intense than that any previous outbreaks. This paper not only aims at understanding the interaction of global economic factors with the digital currency bitcoin, but it also sheds light on the impact Covid-19 had on the relationship between bitcoin and global economic factors. In line with the objective of this study, the researcher determines the asymmetric relationship between global economic factors’ price, specifically gold price, crude oil price, stock index S & P price, and bitcoin price during the unprecedented times of Covid-19 using the Non-linear autoregressive distributed lags (NARDL model). Data was analysed for the period March 2014 to March 2021, employing descriptive statistics, unit roots testing, and NARDL model, aided by the statistical package EViews version 11.The findings reveal the presence of a statistically significant and asymmetric relationship between global economic factors and cryptocurrency during the covid-19 times, whilst before the strike of the pandemic, global economic factors were not significant to cryptocurrency as the results are insignificant. Howbeit, the overall model showcases mixed results since the significance of the asymmetric effect for the overall model is due to the significance of the asymmetric effect during covid-19. The relevant authorities as well as central banks are recommended to work closely together to enforce effective economic policies to mitigate the dreadful effects of the covid-19 pandemic without instilling uncertainty among investors thus gearing towards market recovery.

The contribution of the Russian histologist and pathologist Alexander Alexandrovich Maximow (1874–1928) to domestic and world science and practice is undoubted and recognized in the world. His research on the pathology of inflammation, the phylogeny of hematopoiesis, and the cyto- and histophysiology of connective tissue, he performed by experimental-histological and cultural methods more than 110 years ago. Their results made it possible to approve the dominance of the monophyletic model of hematopoiesis, to develop the doctrine of the reticuloendothelial system, and to obtain valuable data on the concept of mesenchymal reserve in the tissues of an adult organism.

A.A. Maximow lived a short but extremely busy life. Many of his breakthrough results became the starting point for development by his immediate employees and ideological successors; among them are outstanding names: N.N. Anichkov, N.G. Khlopin, A.A. Zavarzin, V.M. Danchakova and other prominent researchers.

Key achievements of A.A. Maximow are in the foundation of basic approaches to the development of therapeutic cellular technologies of our time.

Aim. The work was aimed to test whether the expression levels of endometrial-specific Hoxa10 and Hoxa11 genes in the mouse uterus change after endometrial injury caused by giving birth, and to suggest a mechanism by which these genes can be upregulated in endometrial stromal cells after injury.

Methods. The study was performed using young (8–10 weeks old) wild-type mice of the C57BL6 line; Hoxa10 and Hoxa11 gene expression in uterine tissues was assessed before delivery, as well as 4 hours and 24 hours after delivery were also used in the work. Hypoxia was modeled in vitro using human endometrial stromal cells by adding 200 mM CoCl2. Inhibition of DNA active demethylation system was performed using the Bobcat339 inhibitor. The level of expression of the Hoxa10 (HOXA10) and Hoxa11 (HOXA11) genes was assessed by real-time PCR coupled with reverse transcription, as well as by Western blotting.

Results. During the first day after birth, both Hoxa10 and Hoxa11 gene expression increases in mouse uterine tissues. In the stromal cells of the human endometrium, during hypoxia modeling, HOXA10 and HOXA11 gene expression increases, and inhibition of the active DNA demethylation system prevents noted increase in the hypoxia model.

Conclusion. We have shown for the first time that the Hoxa10 and Hoxa11 gene expression increases in vivo in the mouse uterus after endometrial damage, and also demonstrated in in vitro experiments that upregulation of these genes in endometrial stromal cells after damage can be caused by hypoxia-induced epigenetic changes associated with the operation of the active DNA demethylation system.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of heparin at a concentration of 1 IU/mL on changes in the osteodifferentiation potential of MSC from human adipose tissue under in vitro cocultivation.

Materials and methods. Assessment of the phenotypic profile of MSC from human adipose tissue during cultivation in the presence/absence of heparin was performed by the flow cytometry method using the appropriate dyes according to the manufacturer’s protocol on a MACS Quant flow cytometer after 14 days of cultivation. To evaluate the migration and proliferation potential of MSCs in the presence of heparin, we were using a continuous monitoring electrode system, xCELLigence ® RTCA DP. After cultivation MSCs with heparin for 14 days, the intracellular expression of osteodifferentiation genes was evaluated by real-time PCR. In addition, the differentiation profile of MSCs from human adipose tissue cultured with heparin was evaluated by cytological staining with alizarin red to detect islands of mineralization after 21 days of cultivation. In addition, the amount of growth factors, chemokines, molecules with pro- and anti-inflammatory activity was estimated in the supernatants of the 14-day cultures.

Results. There was a significant decrease ( compared with the control group of the study) in the number of cells with stem markers (CD73, CD90, CD105) on the cell surface of the culture in the MSC + heparin model; increase in proliferative and decrease in migratory activity of MSCs during co-cultivation with heparin; increased levels of relative mRNA expression of genes for osteodifferentiation (ALPL, RUNX2, BMP2, BMP6) and cell adhesion (CD49d); increase in mineralization area in the study model in the presence of heparin after 21 days of cultivation. There was a tendency to increase secretion of growth factor VEGF and pro-inflammatory factor IL -6 in the MSC + heparin model.

Conclusion. The obtained results may serve as a basis for the development of new therapeutic tactics for the treatment of surgical patients undergoing osteosynthesis operations with a high risk of thrombosis.
Regenerative biomedicine in biology and medicine

The article covers the fundamental and applied problems of regenerative biomedicine. As a scientific field, it arose at the end of the XX century and today it is rapidly growing: the mechanisms of cell renewal, tissue regeneration and repair are being elucidated, fundamentally new methods are being developed to combat severe disease caused by damage and loss of vital cells and tissues. The human body is a “self-renewing machine” and during whole life, it produces of tons of cells, thus, demonstrating its strong regenerative potential that can be used in modern medicine. At the Institute of Regenerative Medicine of the Medical Research and Educational Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University preclinical studies and clinical trials of several novel drugs are being carried. Including ones that stimulate the growth of nerve fibers after re-implantation of upper limb parts (finger and palm), and eliminate neurological dysfunctions after hemorrhagic stroke. For the treatment of male infertility, a drug is being developed that stimulates spermatogenesis and restores spermatogenesis. In order to create an antifibrotic drug, a substance secreted by endometrial cells and preventing fibrosis of the tissues of the uterus and other organs, is being identified. The role of navigational receptors (primarily T-cadregin and urokinase receptor) in choosing the direction of tissue growth is being studied.

Background: Adolescents often experience social anxiety caused by acts of body shaming carried out by their friends. This condition causes adolescents to feel that they are not accepted by their surrounding environment.
Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the reliability of the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A).
Design: This research uses descriptive analysis research with a cross-sectional approach.
Methods: This research was conducted on May 15, 2023 at Madrasah Aliyah Raden Rahmat, Mojowarno, Jombang. The research instrument used was the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents which was adopted from Firdausi (2018) which consists of 18 favorable questions. The research instrument consists of three components, including Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE), Social Avoidance and Distress with New Social Situation and Unfamiliar Peers (SAD-New), and Social Avoidance and Distance General (SAD-G). Data analysis carried out was Mean, Standard Deviation (SD), and reliability test (Cronbach Alpha) using SPSS 21.
Results: Based on the research results, it was found that the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents had high reliability test results marked by a Cronbach's Alpha value of .855 (Min = 40.0; Max = 77.0; Mean = 57.94; SD = 10.216).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents is very suitable for use in assessing social anxiety in adolescents at Madrasah Aliyah.
