The study was conducted on the example of regions of the Russian Federation with developed manufacturing industries, which form half of the gross value added of the Russian Federation.
Environmental Expertise: Opportunities, Problems, Solutions
Authors: Burmatova O. P.
Published: July 2020

The implementation of any business project should be preceded by activities to predict its possible impact on the environment and to obtain environmental acceptability assessments for the implementation of the corresponding project. Ecological expertise is aimed at solving these important tasks. State environmental review is the legal form of preventive environmental control; carried out with the aim of verifying the compliance of economic and other activities with environmental safety requirements; It is carried out on the principles of mandatory conduct, scientific validity and legality of its conclusions and independence, extra-departmental organization and conduct, wide publicity and public participation. The article discusses the purpose of environmental assessments, formulates their basic principles arising from foreign practice of environmental policy in developed countries that have significant experience in the development and effective application of various institutional instruments for environmental regulation, including environmental impact assessments. The article gives an analysis of the establishment of the institute of environmental expertise in Russia, shows the results achieved and the omissions in this area over the past 30 years, reveals the causes and consequences of the minimization of the state environmental review after 2000. Based on the analysis of amendments to the Russian environmental legislation introduced in the last few years concerning the procedure and procedure for conducting environmental assessments, it is shown that these changes did not contribute to the improvement of the current situation. A number of measures have been proposed which are currently ripe for reanimating approaches to state environmental expertise, including the restoration of a system of specially authorized state bodies in the field of environmental protection; strengthening legislation on the institute of environmental impact assessment; streamlining issues of their financing, etc.

A Comparison between 10-day and 12-day Concomitant Regimens for Helicobacter Pylori Eradication: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Bari Zohreh , Fakheri Hafez , Taghvaei Tarang , Yaghoobi Mohammad
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide, which is associated with peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. In this study, we compared the efficacy of 10-day versus 12-day concomitant therapy as the first-line treatment for H. pylori eradication in Iran. METHODS 218 patients with peptic ulcer disease and naïve H. pylori infection, were randomly divided into two groups to receive either 10-day or 12-day concomitant regimens, composed of pantoprazole 40 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg, all given twice daily. Eight weeks after treatment, H. pylori eradication was assessed by 14C- urea breath test. The trial was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (code: IRCT20170521034070N2). RESULTS 212 patients completed the study. According to the intention to treat analysis, the eradication rates were 83.6% (95% CI: 76.6-90.5) and 88.8% (95% CI: 82.8-94.7) in 10-day and 12-day concomitant therapy groups, respectively (p = 0.24). Per-protocol eradication rates were 85.9% (95% CI: 79.3–92.4) and 92.6% (95% CI: 87.6–97.5), respectively (p = 0.19). The rates of severe side effects were not statistically different between the two groups (3.6% vs. 8.1%; p = 0.428). CONCLUSION 12-day concomitant therapy could achieve ideal eradication rates by both intention to treat and perprotocol analyses. In order to reduce the cost of drugs and the rate of adverse effects of therapy, among 10-day and 12day regimens, 12-day concomitant therapy seems to be a good alternative to 14-day concomitant therapy that has been suggested by international guidelines.

Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND End-stage cirrhosis is an irreversible condition, and liver transplantation is the only treatment option in for the affected patients. Respiratory problems and abnormal breathing are common findings among these patients. In this study, for the first time, we examined the relationship between the severity of liver cirrhosis and respiratory drive measured by mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 50 candidates for liver transplantation who were referred to the pulmonary clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital for pre-operative pulmonary evaluations. Arterial blood gas analysis (ABG), pulmonary function tests, and measurement of P0.1 were performed for all patients. The severity of liver disease was assessed using the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. RESULTS The median P0.1 was 5 cm H2 O. P0.1 was negatively associated with PaCO2 (r = -0.466, p = 0.001) and HCO3 - (r = -0.384, p = 0.007), and was positively correlated with forced expiratory volume at 1s (FEV1 )/ forced vital capacity (FVC) (r = 0.282, p = 0.047). There was a strong correlation between P0.1 and MELD score (r = 0.750, p < 0.001). Backward multivariate linear regression revealed that a higher MELD score and lower PaCO2 were associated with increased P0.1. CONCLUSION High levels of P0.1 and strong direct correlation between P0.1 and MELD score observed in the present study are suggestive of the presence of abnormal increased respiratory drive in candidates for liver transplantation, which is closely related to their disease severity.

Authors: Boghratian Amir H , Al-Taee Ahmad M
Published: July 2020

Gossypiboma refers to inadvertently retained foreign objects after surgical operations. High body mass index and emergency surgery are risk factors of the condition. Presenting symptoms are usually non-specific and it may result in serious complications such as bowel obstruction. Removal can be attempted with endoscopic or surgical approaches depending on the site and presence of complications. This case highlights the need for considering gossypiboma in patients presenting with abdominal symptoms after recent abdominal surgery. Herein we report the case of a 30-year-old woman with abdominal pain two months after mini-gastric bypass surgery. Cross-sectional imaging showed a hyperdense area in the small bowel concerning for malignancy. However, upper endoscopy revealed a 10 × 40 cm retained surgical gauze in the afferent loop that was successfully retrieved. Although rare, retained foreign body should be considered in the differential diagnosis of postoperative abdominal pain.
Intra-abdominal Actinomycosis Imitating Sigmoid Colon Cancer: A Case Report
Authors: Sari Ramazan , Kuş Murat , Kayaselçuk Fazilet
Published: July 2020

Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial disease characterized by chronic or subacute suppurative inflammation. Abdominal actinomycosis is rarer and accounts for approximately 20% of all actinomycosis cases. In the literature, patients who underwent surgery for actinomycosis mimicking malignant tumors have been reported. Most of these patients had mucosal trauma and inflammation signs. It is often difficult to diagnose abdominal actinomycosis preoperatively and often impossible to distinguish it from a malignant tumor. We present a case that preoperatively was diagnosed as a malignant tumor but pathological evaluation reported to be diverticulitis and actinomycosis. This case can increase the awareness about this disease, which is possible to be treated non-surgically.
A Study on Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Ocimum Sanctum L (Tulsi) Leaf Extract & their Antimicrobial Activity: A Green Chemistry Approach
Authors: Goyal Swati
Published: July 2020

Nanoparticles (NPs) are being widely used in different fields; therefore, there is growing interest in the development of a biological and environmental safety method for their production. Now a day’s chemical and physical methods are being used for the development of nanoparticle that is costly, time-consuming, and harmful for the environment. Plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles is a “Green chemistry” approach that connects different types of plants with nanotechnology. It has gained much more attention as a reliable, sustainable, and eco-friendly method for synthesizing a wide range of materials/nanomaterials. Plants are called nature’s “chemical factories” therefore, plants and plant extracts are the best options to produce different types of nanoparticles. In this present study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by using leaf extract of Ocimum sanctum and aqueous silver nitrate solution through a simple and eco-friendly method. Then the developed silver nanoparticles were characterized by using different types of techniques such as Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and Fourier transforms infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. Their antimicrobial activity was screened against microbial culture, and it was found that the synthesized silver nanoparticles have potential applications in antibacterial activity.

O papel da mulher x a mulher no papel: o conto “O papel de parede amarelo”, de Charlotte Perkins Gilman nos labirintos da escrita feminina
Authors: Gianvechio Hortência de Melo , Borges Luciana , Carrijo Silvana Augusta Barbosa
Published: July 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o conto "O papel de parede amarelo", de Charlotte Perkins Gilman, buscando traçar uma leitura que demonstre como o conto pode ser lido como forma de denúncia da condição da mulher-escritora do século XIX. Apoiando-se em teóricas como Norma Telles (2004), Emilia Viotti da Costa (2000) e Marina Colasanti (1991) e lançando um olhar para além dos elementos de terror e fantasmagoria, que neste artigo ocupam papel secundário, percebe-se que a atmosfera densa e sombria do conto se revela muito mais na concretude do dia a dia da narradora do que nos elementos misteriosos e sombrios que a personagem utiliza para descrever a casa e os objetos que a compõem. Transitando entre elementos autobiográficos e de terror psicológico, o conto retrata a patologização dos desejos e reivindicações das mulheres, por meio da figura de John, médico e marido da protagonista, que representa a instância médica à qual as mulheres estavam submetidas, uma instância opressora e cúmplice do pacto perverso de adoecer mulheres e confiná-las em clínicas psiquiátricas – tudo em prol da manutenção da ordem social.

Statelessness as a Product of Slippery Statecraft: A Global Governance View of Current Causes, Actors, and Debates
Authors: Petrozziello Allison
Published: July 2020

Statelessness has been described as the result of unintentional gaps between citizenship policies excluding individuals who move, form relationships and reproduce across international borders. But what if the rise in statelessness is not a technicality, but a strategy of slippery statecraft meant to design the citizenry a given state is willing to protect? This paper places statelessness within the context of neoliberal globalisation and international migration and provides a critical global governance view of contemporary causes of statelessness, key actors working on it and their framing of the issue within global governance frameworks. I argue that the dominant framing of statelessness as a technical issue obviates the politics behind statelessness as slippery statecraft, leading proposed solutions to fall short. Critical research may help advocates make the case for inclusion, appealing to broader state interests and networks, without abandoning attendant human rights obligations.

Statelessness in the European Union: Exploring the Potential Value of Union Citizenship
Authors: Brekoo Anne
Published: July 2020

Nearly half a million people find themselves stateless within the Member States of the European Union. Lacking an overarching mechanism to address statelessness and its consequences at the EU level, the problem remains. In a different citizenship context, however, the EU has demonstrated that it is capable of devising a framework of rights that transcends national boundaries: citizenship of the EU. With the aim of inspiring renewed debates on, and reconsideration of, the institution of EU citizenship as a potential approach to mitigating the human impact of statelessness, this article examines the value that EU citizenship might have for stateless persons.
Statelessness Determination Procedures: Towards a Bespoke Procedure for Nigeria
Authors: Momoh Solomon Oseghale , van Eijken Hanneke , Ryngaert Cedric
Published: July 2020

Statelessness is a phenomenon that affects every region and almost every country of the world. However, not very many states have mechanisms in place to identify and prevent it, and protect stateless persons. This article ascertains international norms and best practices regarding the establishment and operation of a Statelessness Determination Procedure (‘SDP’), and to apply these to a future SDP in Nigeria. The requirements for an SDP are drawn from conventions, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees instruments and state practice. In proposing an SDP for Nigeria, in this contribution we strive for the most extensive protection for stateless persons, while taking the particular legal and institutional framework of Nigeria into account. We conclude that Nigeria, and in fact any state, may want to devote particular attention to standards relating to the legality and ‘bindingness’ of the proposed SDP, to procedural access and to procedural guarantees.

Identification of Ralstonia solanacearum resistant rootstocks for tomato grafting
Authors: Stella Kanyua , Maina Mwangi , Jesca Mbaka
Published: July 2020

Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, causes severe losses to tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L). Current management measures are not fully effective. Grafting with resistant rootstocks may be an effective strategy for managing the disease. However, R. solanacearum populations maintain considerable diversity, and little information is known regarding the efficacy of available rootstocks for use in grafting to reduce bacterial wilt incidence and subsequent crop loss. Tomato belongs to family Solanaceae which includes other well-known species, such as eggplant (aubergine), peppers, tobacco and potato. The objective of this study was to identify bacterial wilt resistant germplasm that can be used as rootstocks in tomato grafting. The potential candidates for the study included species that belong to solanaceae family. Rootstocks included tomato cultivar Mt56, Eggplant (Solanum melongena), Capsicum and Sodom apple (Solanum incarnum). Tomato cultivars Anna F1 and Cal J were used as sources of scions. Diseased plants were collected from farmers’ fields and bacterial inoculum isolated using CPG Medium with TZC used to identify distinct colonies of R.solanacearum. The inoculum was applied on the test plants by injecting into the soil planted with tomatoes. Disease severity data was recorded using 0 to 5 scoring scale. Data was subjected to ANOVA using Genstat version 15 and significantly different treatment means separated using LSD at P < 0.05. Solanum melongena, Solanum incarnum and tomato cultivar (Mt56) did not develop infection while tomato cultivar Anna F1 and Cal J (used as positive controls) and Capsicum developed infection. It was concluded that resistant germplasm to bacterial wilt exists and can be utilized to graft susceptible tomato cultivars and contribute to management of bacterial wilt.

In this paper the different modulation techniques used in fiber optic technology are compared to check which one has the better bit error rate (BER). There are a number of different modulation techniques used in WDN-PON systems but here the comparison is made among carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ), duobinary return-to-zero (DRZ) and modified duobinary return-to-zero (MDRZ) modulation. The comparison to determine which is better is made my performing simulations in OptiSystem version 17 software. OptiSystem 17 is the current version of the software at the time the simulations were being carried out. In the OptiSystem software an optical fiber system is simulated from transmitter all the way to receiver. In the experiment when checking the performance of the different modulation formats, the optical fiber and the receiver are left unchanged and only the transmitter part is changed according to the modulation format being simulated at that particular instance. The modulation in the transmitter is done by using proper components from the OptiSystem library which when organized in the right order will give out a signal modulated in a certain format by the time it is fed into the optical fiber. Knowing the performance of modulation can help in WDM PON where the network gets to use passive components as it goes to user. Since no active amplification or correction equipment is used in WDM-PON, therefore using the format with the best performance can help with performance of overall system.

Discusión entre disponibilidad energética y sustentabilidad ambiental en Estados Unidos, 1980-2016
Authors: Puyana Mutis Alicia , Rodríguez Peña Isabel
Published: July 2020

La discusión sobre la seguridad energética (SE) se ha centrado en el mercado petrolero, sin embargo, la inclusión de temas ambientales ha derivado en un análisis complejo sobre las estrategias a implementar para garantizar la SE, en especial, para los países de alto consumo de fósiles y pocas o nulas reservas de petróleo, como Estados Unidos. El documento propone tres índices —petrolero, diversificación y ambiental— para evaluar la SE de Estados Unidos entre 1980 y 2016. Se concluye que, de acuerdo con la visión actual de la SE, solo podrán lograrse mejoras en esta si hay un incremento en energías renovables, ya que el aumento en el consumo de fósiles (especialmente de gas) no permiten transitar a una visión holística de SE.

Analizar el comportamiento de los costos y gastos siempre ha sido una preocupación para los usuarios de los sistemas de información financiera. En particular, a partir de 2003, existe un mayor interés por estudiar el fenómeno de la pegajosidad de los costos (sticky costs en inglés) y gastos relativos a la variación de las ventas. A fin de profundizar en el tema, nos dimos a la tarea de investigar si en México la pegajosidad durante los períodos con crisis (2008–2011) es diferente a la de los períodos sin crisis (2002–2007 y 2012–2017), y si la pegajosidad de los costos es asimétrica a la de los gastos. Esto se realizó a partir de una selección de 59 emisoras de la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV), utilizando un modelo de regresión probado, y se pudo validar la existencia de este fenómeno, tanto de los costos como de los gastos, y se encontró que es mayor en los costos durante los años sin crisis y mayor en los gastos en años con crisis, situaciones que requieren mayor atención.

Microscopic blood cell analysis is an important methodology for medical diagnosis, and complete blood cell counts (CBCs) are one of the routine tests operated in hospitals. Results of the CBCs include amounts of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in a unit blood sample. It is possible to diagnose diseases such as anemia when the numbers or shapes of red blood cells become abnormal. The percentage of white blood cells is one of the important indicators of many severe illnesses such as infection and cancer. The amounts of platelets are decreased when the patient suffers hemophilia. Doctors often use these as criteria to monitor the general health conditions and recovery stages of the patients in the hospital. However, many hospitals are relying on expensive hematology analyzers to perform these tests, and these procedures are often time consuming. There is a huge demand for an automated, fast and easily used CBCs method in order to avoid redundant procedures and minimize patients’ burden on costs of healthcare. In this research, we investigate a new CBC detection method by using deep neural networks, and discuss state of the art machine learning methods in order to meet the medical usage requirements. The approach we applied in this work is based on YOLOv3 algorithm, and our experimental results show the applied deep learning algorithms have a great potential for CBCs tests, promising for deployment of deep learning methods into microfluidic point-of-care medical devices. As a case of study, we applied our blood cell detector to the blood samples of COVID-19 patients, where blood cell clots are a typical symptom of COVID-19.

Authors: Nasir Khawaja Shehryar , Hafeez Haroon , Jamshed Arif , Hussain Raza
Published: July 2020

Introduction: A portion of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC)-associated pain may not experience relief in symptoms with non-invasive modalities. A nerve block is a procedure in which a local anesthetic agent is injected along the nerve track to preferentially block sensory transmission. The literature on the effectiveness of nerve blocks in the management of HNC-related pain is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of nerve blocks in management of breakthrough HNC-associated trigeminal or cervical neuropathic pain disorders. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent a nerve block or infiltration procedure in the regions of head and neck for management of breakthrough HNC-associated trigeminal or cervical neuropathic pain disorders in the Orofacial Pain Medicine clinic, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, between November 2018 and November 2019 was completed. Information regarding demographics, diagnosis, and pain characteristics was extracted and reviewed. The Fisher-exact test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for analysis between independent and dependent variables. Results: A total of 27 participants were included in the investigation, of which 66.7 % were males. The average pre-procedure pain score was 6.85 ± 2.54. Following intervention, 81.5 % of the participants experienced greater than 75 % relief in pain for longer than 48 hours. The mean immediate post-procedure pain score was 0.26 ± 1.02 and the average duration of relief was 6.10 ± 6.50 weeks. The significant effect of nerve blocks was found to be statistically associated with the concurrent use of amitriptyline (p = 0.017). Conclusion: Nerve blocks, as an adjunctive therapy to pharmacologic treatment, can provide significant relief to patients with breakthrough HNC-associated trigeminal and cervical neuropathic pain disorders. However, the duration of relief experienced by the participants is inconsistent. The beneficial effect of nerve blocks appears to be more common in patients that were concurrently using amitriptyline.

Tyrimo tikslas. Įvertinti gimdyvių antropometrinius rodiklius, jų pokyčius ir ryšį su nėštumo ir gimdymo komplikacijomis. Metodai. 429 gimdyvės užpildė anoniminę anketą. Vertinti antropometriniai rodikliai, su nėštumu ir gimdymu susijusios būklės, naujagimio svoris. Gimdyvės suskirstytos į keturias grupes pagal KMI ir į tris grupes pagal kūno masės prieaugį. Tirtas nėštumo ir gimdymo komplikacijų dažnis grupėse. Rezultatai apdoroti naudojantis „Microsoft Excel“ bei „SPSS“ programomis. Rezultatai. Vidutinis gimdyvių amžius – 31,8 metų (pirmą kartą gimdžiusių – 30 metų), ūgis – 168 cm, svoris – 67,4 kg, KMI – 23,9 k/m2. 61,3 proc. gimdyvių turėjo ≥1 nėštumo arba gimdymo komplikaciją. Statistiškai reikšmingai daugiau komplikacijų buvo antsvorio turinčių ir nutukusių gimdyvių grupėje nei per mažo arba normalaus KMI grupėse, taip pat per daug kūno masės priaugusių gimdyvių grupėje lyginant su rekomenduojamos kūno masės prieaugio grupe. Išvados. Nustatytos gimdyvių KMI didėjimo tendencijos. Per didelis KMI bei per mažas arba per didelis kūno masės prieaugis nėštumo laikotarpiu turi įtakos su nėštumu, gimdymu ir naujagimiu susijusių komplikacijų dažnio didėjimui

Dihydroberberine (DHBER), the partially reduced form of the alkaloid berberine (BER), is known to exhibit important biological activities. Despite this fact, there have been only few studies that concern the biological properties of functionalized DHBER. Attracted by the potentiality of this latter compound, we have realized the preparation of new arylhydrazono-functionalized DHBERs, starting from BER and some α-bromohydrazones. On the other hand, also the fully reduced form of BER, namely tetrahydroberberine (THBER), and its derivatives have proven to present different biological activities. Therefore, the obtained arylhydrazono-functionalized DHBERs were reduced to the corresponding arylhydrazono-THBERs. The antiproliferative activity of both arylhydrazono-DHBERs and -THBERs has been evaluated on NCI-H1975 lung cancer cells.

A convergent strategy is reported for the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles from common substrates: 1,4-diketones and primary amines. Indeed, by just varying substrates, substituents or heating mode it is possible to selectively synthesize indole, indolone (1,5,6,7-tetradihydroindol-4-one) or cinnoline (5,6,7,8-tetrahydrocinnoline) derivatives in moderate to excellent yields.
