Teachers’ representation of the mitigation strategies to challenges of implementing the 2015 to 2022 Zimbabwean social studies curriculum
Authors: Chimbunde Pfuurai , Kgari-Masondo Maserole Christina
Published: February 2022

The impromptu launch of the 2015 to 2022 Zimbabwean social studies curriculum invited vilifications and public outcries from parents, teachers and other key stakeholders professing numerous challenges. In this article, we report on the teachers’ representation of the mitigation strategies to abate the aforesaid challenges. This interpretive case study engrained in the qualitative approach, was drawn from interviews and focus group discussion (FGD) to establish the teachers’ representation of the mitigation strategies that could be employed to curtail challenges faced in implementing that curriculum. In the study, informed by the ubuntu philosophy, we used 12 purposively sampled teachers from Zimbabwean primary schools located in different contexts to generate data. The findings show that implementers of policies are too often not consulted during the policy development process leading to challenges which could be mollified by listening to the advice from the implementers, adopting the bottom-up approach and promoting good relations among educators. Considering these findings it was concluded that, for effective policy development, there must be wide consultation and involvement of all stakeholders in the planning, designing and articulation of policies before proper implementation can take place.

Authors: Mikhailov A. V. , Zubarev D. D. , Krasnov V. S. , Chernyavsky M. A. , Prokhorikhin A. A.
Published: February 2022

We described a case report of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in conditions when the aortic stenosis anatomy does not make it possible to perform retrograde left ventricular catheterization, and the patient’s condition severity does not allow performing transapical or surgical aortic valve replacement. The presented technique of interatrial septal puncture with antegrade passage of the guidewire through the mitral and aortic valves and the venoarterial looping demonstrates an elegant way to solve this clinical situation, and can be adopted by specialists performing transcatheter interventions in severe aortic stenosis.

Aim. To study myocardial remodeling in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) against the background of cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) therapy.

Material and methods. In a group of 100 patients with HFrEF and AF, transthoracic echocardiography was performed before CCM device implantation and after 2, 6 and 12 months. All patients received longterm optimal medical therapy for HF before surgery.

Results. Against the background of CCM therapy, there was a  significant increase in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, a decrease in LV volume and linear dimensions, a decrease in left atrial volume in patients with coronary and non-coronary HFrEF, with an initial LVEF < and >35%, and also regardless of AF type.

Conclusion. CCM therapy in patients with HFrEF and AF led to favorable myocardial remodeling changes. Further study of CCM effect on  echocardiographic parameters in randomized clinical trials is needed.

Aim. To study the parameters of transit time flow measurement (TTFM) for coronary bypass grafts in patients with diffuse lesions with different diameter of target coronary arteries.

Material and methods. The study included 150 patients with diffuse coronary artery disease. All patients underwent microscope-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), during which the TTFM parameters were evaluated. Depending on the diameter of target coronary arteries, patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 included grafts to arteries ≤1 mm (n=101), group 2 — 1-1,5 mm (n=138), group 3 — ≥1,5 mm (n=308). Comparative analysis of TTFM parameters was performed.

Results. Mostly participants were male (76%); mean age was 62,9±7,6 years. During hospitalization, we recorded 1 death, 2 perioperative myocardial infarctions (1,3%) and 1 cerebrovascular accident (0,7%). TTFM analysis showed the worst hemodynamic parameters and a higher rate of suboptimal function in group 1; blood flow parameters were comparable in groups 2 and 3. The additional analysis in group 1 and combined groups 2 and 3 allows us to make an opinion about the negative impact of coronary artery diameter less than 1 mm on optimal blood flow through the grafts (odds ratio=2,1, 95% confidence interval, 1,2-3,8, p=0,011).

Conclusion. Diffuse coronary atherosclerosis with a diameter of target coronary arteries less than 1 mm significantly increase the risk of suboptimal graft function that requires considering more aggressive secondary prevention. TTFM demonstrate high effectiveness of microscope-assisted CABG in target coronary artery diameter of 1-1,5 mm and higher.

Aim. To evaluate the relationship between lipid-lowering and antiplatelet therapy and the incidence of cerebral microembolism and related complications in open and endovascular revascularization of the carotid arteries (CA).

Material and methods. This single-center study involved patients with internal CA stenosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the surgery type performed: carotid endarterectomy (CEA)  — 163 patients; CA stenting (CAS)  — 71 patients. All patients underwent intraoperative transcranial Doppler monitoring to register cerebral embolism during CAS and CE.

Results. In CAS, microembolism episodes were observed in 66,2% vs 22,1% of patients in the CEA group (p=0,04), the largest number of which was recorded during catheterization of the internal CA and embolic filter installation (p=0,000). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the stroke incidence. In 8 patients in the CAS group and 1 patient in the CEA group, a transient ischemic attack was observed within 30 days after surgery (p=4x10-4 ). Intraoperative embolism was a predictor of a neurological event in the early postoperative period (odds ratio (OR), 33,08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 3,49-56,37 (p6 months before surgery reduces the likelihood of embolism by 4 times (OR 0,25; 95% CI: 0,11-0,58 (p=0,001), while lipid-lowering and antiplatelet therapy combination — by 12,5 times (OR, 0,08; 95% CI: 0,01-0,40 (p=0,001)).

Conclusion. Preoperative antiplatelet and statin therapy reduces the likelihood of embolism during the CA revascularization procedure.
Feasibility study and development prospects of offshore wind power projects in Vietnam
Authors: Phap Vu Minh , Sang Le Quang , Le Ngo Phuong
Published: February 2022

Vietnam is a promising market for offshore wind power development because it has one of the largest wind power potentials in south-east Asia. However, some barriers such as high investment costs, complicated construction conditions and long construction time have influenced the development of offshore wind power projects; thus, there is currently only one operational offshore wind power project in Vietnam. In this paper, the economic, technical and environmental efficiency of an offshore wind power project with a capacity of 30 MW in the southern region of Vietnam is studied by using the Windpro program and the Retscreen software. The support policies of the government and obstacles in the investment process for offshore wind power projects are also analysed. The research results show that investment in the case study offshore wind power project in the southern region of Vietnam is economically feasible with the new feed-in tariff price with an internal rate of return of 18.6%, a net present value of $19 278 263, a benefit–cost number of 1.9 and a payback period of 8.3 years. However, the government needs to continue to improve support policies for offshore wind power in Vietnam, thus incentivising offshore wind farm projects that can develop more in future.

Published: February 2022

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has received huge amounts of attention in the past two decades. However, there are still many critical problems about fundamental behaviours of RAC, which need to be figured out and which otherwise limit its further sustainable popularisation. Therefore, this series of two overviews rethinks fundamental behaviours of RAC based on the latest literature. In this overview (part I), the strength development and its mechanism, as well as failure patterns of RAC under static and dynamic loading, are explored. Then, the influencing factors and prediction models of elastic modulus, shrinkage and creep of RAC are intensively discussed. It is found that, compared with natural aggregate concrete, the 28 day compressive strength of RAC is lower, whereas the long-term compressive strength of RAC may be higher, which partly depends on the strength of the parent concrete. Furthermore, because the elastic modulus of RAC is often decreased, the drying shrinkage and creep of RAC are always increased. However, the autogenous shrinkage of RAC can be decreased, and also generally develops for above 60 days. Finally, some models have been summarised to better predict the elastic modulus and long-term deformation of RAC.

Published: February 2022

In this work, flexible nanocomposite films that are composed of silver (Ag) nanoparticles, polyaniline (PANI) and methylcellulose (MC) were manufactured using the casting solution fabrication technique. The manufactured films were characterized using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which confirming the preparation of the composite samples. The MC/PANI/silver films were then irradiated with oxygen (O)-ion beams at a range of fluences (8 × 1017, 16 × 1017 and 24 × 1017 ions/cm2). The electrical conductivity, complex impedance behavior, electric modulus and energy density of pure and irradiated films were determined throughout the frequency range 100 Hz–5 MHz. The oxygen-beam irradiation of MC/PANI/silver films caused a significant modification in dielectric parameters. Also, the dielectric constant ε′ improved from 0.68 to 3.17, and the conductivity was modified from 1.47 × 10−6 to 25.9 × 10−6 S/cm. The findings of the present study will pave the way for the use of irradiated MC/PANI/silver nanocomposite films in a variety of applications, including microelectronic devices, batteries and supercapacitors.
Current Status of Genetically Modified Baculovirus Insecticide for Pest Control
Authors: Azali Muhammad Azharuddin , Mohamed Salmah , Harun Azian , Shamsuddin Shaharum , Johan Muhammad Farid
Published: February 2022

Baculovirus is an insect specific virus which is harmless to human. This feature has made it suitable to be applied as biopesticide. It has been used to control the insect pest particularly in agriculture sector for half a century and several success stories have been shared. Nevertheless, this insecticide still cannot compete with the synthetic pesticides owing to its slow killing speed and deficiency of compatible hosts. Genetically engineered baculovirus has improved pathogenicity against insect by incorporating foreign genes. These foreign genes encode neurotoxin, hormones, enzymes, and antisense DNA. Expression of these genes can enhance the insecticidal activities of the recombinant baculovirus. Nonetheless, the genetically modified baculovirus still has not been commercialised until today. This might be associated with the concern about the release of the genetically modified organism (GMO) into the environment as the environmental impact of the genetically modified virus is not well understood. Furthermore, it has been found to have effect on certain parasitoid. In conclusion, genetic modifications of the baculovirus have successfully improved its insecticidal activities but insufficient knowledge about its safety has limited its use in the field.

Authors: Kubola Jittawan , Chumroenphat Theeraphan , Pichtel John , Meeinkuirt Weeradej
Published: February 2022

The effects of soil amendments on Cd and Zn uptake, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities in two cultivars (Pacific 33 and Black Oil) of Helianthus annuus L. were evaluated. Dicalcium phosphate/cattle manure and leonardite/cattle manure mixed in a 1:1 w/w ratio with soil served as soil treatments. The Black Oil cultivar experienced greater metal uptake, biomass production and survival rate compared to the Pacific 33 cultivar. The increased Cd and Zn uptake (>0.2 and >99.4 mg/kg, respectively) in Black Oil cultivar exceeded the regulatory standard for vegetables. Significantly higher levels of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities were detected in the control treatment for Pacific 33 leaves compared to Black Oil cultivar. Synergistic effects of heavy metals, amendment application and plant genotype are considered key factors in decreased levels of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities.

Published: February 2022

Silkworm (Bombyx mori) has been reported to exhibit diverse health benefits. A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical (colour, water activity, pH, water solubility, proximate, mineral, amino acid, and fatty acid composition) and microbiological qualities of Bombyx mori silkworm powder produced from two developmental stages (larvae and pupae). Silkworm pupae powder (SPP) had significantly higher (p<0.05) lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) values than silkworm larval powder (SLP). SPP had significantly higher (p<0.05) water activity and solubility than SLP. The pH values of both silkworm powders were not statistically different. SLP had significantly higher (p<0.05) protein and moisture but significantly lower (p<0.05) fat, ash, fibre, and total calorie content as compared to SPP. The total amino acid content of SPP was significantly higher (p<0.05) than SLP. SLP had significantly higher (p<0.05) protein efficiency ratio than SPP, indicating that SLP contained higher amount of essential amino acid. Both silkworm powder contained 20 types of fatty acids with SPP exhibited significantly higher (p<0.05) polyunsaturated fatty acid composition than SLP. Both silkworm powders had a low n-6/n-3 ratio, which may be beneficial to human health. Both SLP and SPP could be a good source of iron and rich in magnesium and zinc. SPP had a significantly lower (p<0.05) yeast and mould count as compared to SLP. The finding of this study suggested that silkworm powder produced from two different developmental stages may provide beneficial health effects in humans derived from the protein, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids content.

Primum Mobile of a Corrupt Oﬃcial: The Concept, Features of Development and Preventive Activities
Authors: Shamanskiy D. A.
Published: February 2022

The paper examines the internal psychological characteristics of a corrupt official, his main driving force (motivation). The author highlights that the internal motivation of a person is manifested in his needs. The

impossibility of satisfying basic needs and interests in a legal way pushes a person to choose a corrupt behavior model. The author names selfishness, self-interest and other personal interests as the main primum mobile of a corrupt official.

The interest in the motivation of a particular type of crime in the criminological science is broad and boundless. This happens due to the fact that the criminal’s primum mobile is formed along with the criminal’s personality. At the same time, the formation of primum mobile largely depends not only on the internal characteristics of the individual, but also on external factors that affect him.

According to the author, the circumstances influencing the formation of the primum mobile of a corrupt official should be eliminated through ideological and social education of the individual with the mandatory creation and application of a system of early censure of corrupt views and guidelines. The process of self-realization of the individual and satisfaction of basic needs and interests should exclude a corrupt behavior model.

The author points to the obvious need to expand measures aimed at combating corruption. In order to implement effective measures that guarantee the anti-corruption security of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to minimize or exclude any possibility of acquiring benefits, satisfying the needs and interests of the individual through corrupt practices. The process of self-realization of the individual and satisfaction of basic needs and interests should become as accessible and transparent as possible, and it should exclude a corrupt behavior model.
Patentability of Solutions in the Field of Bioprint Technologies: A Comparative Law Aspect
Authors: Bogdanov D. E.
Published: February 2022

The paper is devoted to the issues of advisability of introducing amendments to the civil legislation in connection with the development of additive technologies or the possibility of effective application of the existing rules of law to the regulation of «innovative» civil relations.

Digitization of objects of the material world associated with the creation of their digital prototypes constitutes a revolutionary element of 3D printing technology. A three-dimensional digital model (CAD file) can be easily modified, distributed and embodied in the form of a physical object by printing it on a 3D printer. This gives rise to new risks of infringement of exclusive rights to objects of patent law. In a foreign doctrine, a discussion has started regarding the possibility of qualifying the creation and circulation of digital models of patented products (inventions) as a direct infringement or indirect infringement of exclusive rights.

The paper concluded that Russian patent law was not ready for the challenge generated by the development of 3D printing technology, since it was not aware of the concept of indirect infringement of the exclusive right. In Russian law enforcement practice, the concept of direct patent infringement is interpreted in a restrictive manner.

The question of admissibility of patenting technical solutions in the field of bioprinting has been studied. It is concluded that in Russian law there are no fundamental obstacles to patenting technical solutions in the field of bioprinting technologies. Russian legislation provides for the possibility of patenting «natural products», as well as methods and means of treatment, which distinguishes the Russian approach from the American or European one. If the risk of genetic instability of pluripotent cells is leveled, the technology for creating bioprinted human organs will comply with the requirements of civil law. In particular, it will meet the requirements for the compliance of patented technical solutions with the public interest, the principles of humanity and morality.

Zondek-Aschheim's biological response is one of the brilliant chapters of endocrinology's advances over the past ten years. At the present moment, thanks to this reaction, we are able to almost accurately establish the diagnosis of pregnancy even in those early periods when there is still no possibility of determining such by other research methods. In a short period of time (since 1927), this reaction has become widespread, due to the minimum percentage of errors with it. So, based on the questionnaire material Deut. m. Woch. (No. 51, 1929), Wagner received 451 positive answers out of 459 cases, Hornung in 98% of cases, Pankow in 100% of cases, Martins out of 74 cases. 73 positive answers, Kehrer in 100% of cases. According to our personal data, in 98% of cases we got a positive (correct) answer. The very authors of this reaction, Zondek and Aschheim, speak of the minimum percentage of errors bordering on zero.

Not so long ago, before our eyes, one might say, like a Deus ex machina, a slender, beautiful and seemingly solidly built in all its parts, the teachings of Volhard and Fahr grew up. But nothing is eternal under the moon, especially in medicine, where, as Wagner wrote, teachings are born only to disappear in five years, and so, in this thoroughly built building, mainly in its foundations, indeed, over time individual bricks began to fall out, and it began to loosen little by little. And the closer one looks into this doctrine and checks it against the practical side of the question and the life of the clinic, the more and more one becomes convinced that the whimsical life, even in its ordinary reveals-diseases, often does not want to fit into the Procrustean bed of schemes and hits us with surprises where everything seemed already finished, legalized, immutable, undeniable and established.

Prof. A.A. Krivsky (Leningrad). Handbook of Female Diseases. With 679 part color drawings. Publisher "Practical Medicine". Leningrad, 1927
Authors: Timofeev A.
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this edition, as the editor writes in his preface, is to give to the Russian medical public a collective original manual on our specialty - gynecology. Our Russian literature on gynecology has always been notable for the scarcity of special manuals, but the need and necessity of publishing such a manual has become especially tangible at the present time, when, thanks to the tremendous success of the biological sciences, the literature of our specialty has grown quite considerably. Existing Russian manuals, of course, were not able to fully satisfy the demands of their readers, and therefore the idea of the editors of the "Handbook of Female Diseases" to fill this gap cannot but be recognized as quite timely and worthy of greeting.
The pathogenesis of polyuria in diabetes insipidus
Authors: Rakhlin L. M.
Published: February 2022

Polyuria and associated polydipsia are known to be the main, and often the only, symptoms of diabetes insipidus. The amount of urine excreted may reach enormous figures - 43 liters in the case of Trousseau. Specific gravity is at a very low level, reaching 1001 and below. Together with this disturbance of water exchange, the exchange of sodium chloride is usually disturbed, and these two processes, in fact, characterize diabetes insipidus. Regarding the origin, systematics, and pathogenesis of these basic symptoms there is a large literature, but even on the main questions there are still fundamental discrepancies.

The significance of bone-plastic fixation of the spine. Kopylov (Vestn. Khir., no. 31, 1927)
Authors: Zavyalova N.
Published: February 2022

The significance of bone-plastic fixation of the spine in its tbc lesions, according to Kopylov, lies not in the mechanical assistance of the graft, but in the complex biological processes reduced to the irritation and revitalization of inflammatory and regenerative functions of the body in response to the infection. Based on such a view, the author believes; that Lawallе's operation, consisting in introduction of bone plates into the thickness of diseased tbc epiphyses, finds its theoretical justification.

Authors: Bogdanov E. I. , Zalyalova Z. A. , Mukhametzyanov R. Z.
Published: February 2022

Following perinatal brain lesions, disneuroontogenetic phenomena in infantile cerebral palsy (CP) cause the formation of a multisystem neurological pathology in the residual period of this disease, which manifests itself in complex, often specific, clinical phenomena that distinguish the neurological chemotics of cerebral palsy. As clinical experience shows, along with well-known central disorders of the animal nervous system, in the general syndromology of cerebral palsy of the late period, a certain place can be occupied by secondary, disneuroontogenetically determined lesions of the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems.

Tuberculosis and constitution
Authors: Portnov Y.
Published: February 2022

Large city statistics show an infection rate of nearly 100 percent for children, but not more than 15 percent of them die. Apparently, these 15% are susceptible to TB, while the majority remain latent or are cured of the infection. It is also very common to find cases when, in spite of the most favorable conditions for infection (living together with a person with TB in the same room, working together with them, etc.), people do not become ill with active TB disease. The old authors have long said that a special predisposition is necessary to become ill with tuberculosis. With the discovery of Koch and later with the work of Cornet this question was temporarily obscured, but soon Virchow and many other authors, especially French, began again to point to the enormous role of individual characteristics of the body in the incidence of tuberculosis.
