Published: July 2023

Durante mucho tiempo, la clasificación de los tumores del sistema nervioso central (SNC) se ha basado en hallazgos histológicos respaldados por pruebas complementarias, como la inmunohistoquímica, establecidas en tejidos. La quinta edición de la clasificación de tumores del SNC de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), publicada en 2021 (SNC-5) incorpora numerosos marcadores moleculares con utilidad clínico-patológica que son importantes para una clasificación más precisa de las neoplasias del SNC. Ello permiten ayudar a definir los gliomas difusos del adulto, oligodendroglioma mutado para el gen de la IDH (isocitrato deshidrogenasa láctica), con codeleción 1p/19q grados 2 a 3, astrocitoma mutado para IDH sin codeleción 1p/19q, grados 2 a 4 y glioblastoma (GBM) silvestre para IDH. La mediana de sobrevida en los pacientes con GBM es de solo 14.6 meses, debido a la resistencia al protocolo de terapia más utilizado en el mundo, el cual involucra cirugía, radioterapia y quimioterapia con temozolamida (TMZ), un potente alquilante genotóxico. Los criterios de selección del tratamiento y la estimación del pronóstico en pacientes con esta enfermedad son clínico-patológicos. En los últimos años se reportaron numerosas alteraciones moleculares que amplían la comprensión de la biología de estos tumores, pero solo unas pocas influyen como biomarcadores en la toma de decisiones clínicas y del tratamiento. En este artículo se revisan las alteraciones moleculares reportadas para gliomas de alto grado en sangre periférica, también se resalta la importancia de estandarizar nuevos biomarcadores junto a los hallazgos histológicos para mejorar el conocimiento de estos tumores.

Problems of the Establishment of the Ancient Russian State in the Works by S.A. Korf
Authors:   Senior Lecturer of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law of the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation, PhD (Law), Volk-Leonovich Stanislav O.
Published: July 2023

Considering the problem of the regularity of statehood S.A. Korf notes three levels of this problem: the first is the evolutionary forms of the social organization of society (from primitive to more complex forms); the next level is the emergence of new states among the existing ones; and the last level is the justification of the subjection of the individual to state power. The paper concludes that states arise in the course of a long evolution of social structures and represent the most perfect form of human social life. The state is understood as a form of social organization that functions according to the historically established system of social regulators, including law, and is the source of power of the subjects of management over other individuals. For the first time in the history of science, S.A. Korf tried to separate the concepts of state and statehood, by which he understood the qualitative characteristics of society at a certain stage of life.

Authors: Muñoz Gomez Fernando Andrés , Rengifo Rengifo Ingrit Yohana , Toro Trochez Oscar Andrés
Published: July 2023

La erosión hídrica en la zona andina colombiana se caracteriza por lluvias de alta intensidad y suelos susceptibles a la erosión por las pendientes de montaña. Igualmente, prácticas inadecuadas de manejo de suelos han incrementado los conflictos ambientales en términos de disponibilidad de áreas fértiles, o para conservación de ecosistemas. Para los proyectos de planificación territorial en el departamento del Cauca, se hace necesario conocer la magnitud de tales procesos de erosión hídrica y las potenciales pérdidas de suelo. Se propuso entonces el análisis de riesgos en siete municipios de la zona andina caucana: Almaguer, Bolívar; Cajibío, Mercaderes; Popayán, Puracé, y Santander de Quilichao. Se planteó estructurar un modelo de la Ecuación Universal de la Pérdida Suelo (USLE) calculando sus factores (A, R, K, LS, C, P). Se recolectaron datos a través del uso de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) obteniendo información primaria en trabajo de campo; y secundaria, en documentación y registros oficiales. Se encontró que el desgaste de superficie está asociado a lluvias superiores a 1500 mm causando pérdidas anuales de suelo con alrededor de 973 ton/ha, cifra que es superior a la capacidad de recuperación de los sistemas naturales. Esta investigación ubica las áreas más vulnerables a la erosión hídrica, fundamental para llevar a cabo estrategias de implementación de uso y manejo del suelo como; siembra de cultivos con curvas a nivel, manejo de coberturas nobles, siembra de barreras vivas, sistemas silvopastoriles, aplicación de humus, control selectivo de arvenses, disminuir el uso de azadón y maquinaria agrícola en pendientes fuertes y el uso generalizado de herbicidas, prácticas que podrán mejorar la calidad de los cuerpos de agua y prevenir la disminución de la fertilidad de los suelos.

Authors: Shibanov A.V.
Published: July 2023

The paper presents results of reviewing literary and patent sources on design and technological solutions in grinding (notching) the internal burr in the electric welded pipes production. Based on the review data, optimal designs were determined of the internal deburring stabbing tool located on the deburring machine rod. Studies were carried out on stabbing the internal burr in the production of pipes with the diameter of 60.3...73.0 mm in the pipe electric welding unit line using various methods and design solutions. Quantitative indicators were analyzed of designs of the internal deburring machine rods with the deburring function. Based on results of the practical studies of various methods for dividing the internal burr into parts in the mill line, the optimal option for designing the internal deburring machine rod was determined. This design makes it possible to reduce the number of emergency stops at clogging with long segments of the remote burr by the mill transport line, increase coefficient of the equipment (mill) effective operation and the yield of the useful products, as well as ensure the high-quality washing out of small segments of the removed internal burr inside the pipe with a high-pressure water jet at the flushing operations.

Authors: Trulev A.V. , Timushev S.F. , Lomakin A.V. , Klipov A.V.
Published: July 2023

In the oil producing wells with high content of mechanical impurities and free gas, efficiency of the electric centrifugal pump is increased by installing the cyclone-type desenders at its inlet. Desender protects the submersed pump from mechanical impurities entering it by separation and collecting them in a special container. At the same time, the problem of free gas bubbles enlargement is being solved to facilitate their separation into the annulus and thus reduce the free gas content at the pump inlet. Analysis was made of specifics of the formation fluid flow containing mechanical impurities and free gas in the flow path of a cyclone-type separator with the fixed screw. Expressions were derived to determine the dimensionless multiphase coefficient of the discrete particles relative separation rate and of the multiphase similarity criterion. They allow evaluating efficiency of the mechanical impurity separators and developing new highly efficient structures based on the previously created ones. Recommendations are provided for development of the new highly efficient structures.

Selected phenotypic and functional changes in ovarian cancer cells treated in vitro with combined therapy using cisplatin and hyperthermia
Authors: Zoń Aleksandra , Bednarek Ilona
Published: July 2023

Wstęp

Typową strategią leczenia raka jajnika jest operacja chirurgiczna oraz podawana po niej chemioterapia wykorzystująca leki cytostatyczne, w tym cisplatynę. Niestety u większości pacjentek dochodzi do nawrotu choroby, którego głównym powodem jest wykształcanie przez komórki nowotworowe oporności na cisplatynę. Z tego względu intensywnie poszukuje się nowych rozwiązań terapeutycznych, m.in. terapii skojarzonej, której przykładem jest jednoczesne traktowanie komórek lekiem cytostatycznym oraz hipertermią. Celem pracy była ocena zmian fenotypowych oraz funkcjonalnych w komórkach raka jajnika poddanych działaniu cisplatyny i/lub umiarkowanej hipertermii.

Materiał i metody

Linie komórek raka jajnika SKOV-3 [ATCC: HTB-77] oraz TOV-21G [ATCC: CRL-11730] stymulowano do apoptozy z wykorzystaniem dichlorku cis-diamino platyny (II). Następnie komórki poddawano działaniu umiarkowanej hipertermii poprzez umieszczenie w temperaturach 39°C i 40°C oraz w temperaturze standardowej 37°C. Zmiany fenotypowe w obrębie badanych komórek weryfikowano z wykorzystaniem barwienia fluorescencyjnego z użyciem oranżu akrydyny, bromku etydyny oraz DAPI (4′,6-diamidyno-2-fenyloindol). Zmiany funkcjonalne odnoszące się do migracji in vitro komórek analizowano testem zarastania rany (wound healing assay).

Wyniki

Wykazano, że działanie na komórki cisplatyną indukowało śmierć komórek o charakterze apoptotycznym, przy czym zauważono efekt potencjalizacji działania cytostatyku na komórki poprzez zastosowanie umiarkowanej hipertermii (39°C oraz 40°C). Dodatkowo, w przypadku komórek linii SKOV-3 traktowanych wspomnianymi czynnikami, zaobserwowano istotny statystycznie spadek migracji komórek in vitro w odniesieniu do populacji komórek kontrolnych.

Wnioski

Traktowanie komórek raka jajnika cisplatyną oraz umiarkowaną hipertermią prowadzi do zmian fenotypowych, charakterystycznych dla procesów apoptozy. Dodatkowo zastosowanie obu tych czynników indukuje takie zmiany w komórkach, które zmniejszają migrację komórek, a tym samym wpływają na zmniejszenie potencjału metastatycznego komórek raka jajnika.

Geo Аssets Engineering, 2023, vol. 334, no. 7, рр. 93-101. In Rus.
The relevance of the research is associated with the rapid development of modern high-performance computing systems, superneurocomputers and artificial intelligence devices. Today such development is held back largely due to the lack of an effective cooling system for high-power elements of their structures. Composite materials Cu-SiC with improved physical, mechanical and thermophysical characteristics can be used to solve problems of heat removal intensification. The main aim of the research is to obtain bulk products from metal-matrix composite Cu-10% SiC with improved physical, mechanical and thermal characteristics by spark plasma sintering. Objects of the research are bulk products from metal-matrix composite Cu-10%SiC. The samples were obtained by spark plasma sintering at temperatures of 700, 750, 800, 850 °C and a pressure of 60 MPa. Methods: spark plasma sintering, X-ray diffractometry (X-ray phase analysis), scanning electron microscopy, indentation, laser flash method. Results. Experimental studies have been carried out to obtain bulk metal-matrix composites with a copper matrix and the addition of reinforcing superhard particles of silicon carbide Cu-10%SiC. The compaction of dispersed composite materials was carried out by spark plasma sintering at various temperatures of 700, 750, 800, and 850 °C. The microstructure and composition of initial dispersed materials and final bulk products have been studied. It is shown that the spark plasma sintering method has advantages for obtaining relatively dense materials with high physical, mechanical and thermal properties. Analysis of the obtained samples showed the formation of a dense (up to ~88 %) homogeneous fine-grained composite structure. The greatest densification of the material is achieved at the highest sintering temperature of 850 °C, which causes this sample to demonstrate the maximum hardness (H=3,63 GPa) and Young's modulus (E=159,63 GPa), as well as the thermal conductivity at room temperature (λ=223 W/m K). The obtained composite materials can be used as structural and functional materials for energy-efficient heat-conducting systems.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a rare tumor that arises from second order or smaller bile ducts. Its incidence has been growing in the last couple of decades, in parallel with its mortality rates, both in America and Europe. The currently accepted gold treatment for iCCA is liver resection (LR). However, results are still poor, with 5-year survival rates ranging between 25% and 40%. In addition, more than half of the patients undergoing LR will relapse, particularly those who present with multifocal iCCA. Given the aggressiveness of this tumor, and the modest results seen with adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies, the sights have been set on liver transplantation (LT) for this disease. Retrospective studies have shown encouraging results in select patients, especially those with very early-staged iCCA (< 2 cm) who underwent LT. The aim of this review is to analyze the current information regarding LT for iCCA, as well as future perspectives.
Stability compensation of an admittance-controlled cartesian robot considering physical interaction with a human operator

In human-machine systems, admittance control is widely used for controlling robots. However, the problem with this method is that the stability can be impacted by the stiffness of the machine and the human operator. In order to minimize the oscillation issue that is caused by insufficient structure stiffness, this study used compensation methods, specifically feed-forward and acceleration feedback. Simulation results show that both compensation methods can expand the stability region of the system. Nevertheless, feedback compensation is more appropriate than feed-forward when taking into account uncertainties in the structure parameters of the system. Even when the system is not perfectly implemented, feedback compensation can keep the system stable, whereas feed-forward compensation causes a significantly reduced stability region. From the experiment, it is also confirmed that the feedback system has an advantage over the feed-forward system, and this simple feedback using an accelerometer can compensate for the insufficient stiffness of the robot structure and greatly enhance the stability of the human-machine system.
Does mob justice fit the conceptual theory of justice?
Authors: Mbiada Carlos Joel Tchawouo , Sithuga Ndivho Percy
Published: July 2023

With the recent surge of mob justice in South Africa, this paper investigates whether recourse to mob justice serves a legitimate purpose and especially whether it serves justice or falls within the conceptual meaning of justice. In so doing, the paper undertook a literature review in view first to identify the possible causes of mob justice and whether or not mob justice serves a legitimate purpose in society. The literature reveals that mob justice aims to ensure security and maintain social order due to state inefficiency to provide security to its citizens. Mob justice becomes a mechanism of social control, policing, and society’s expression that the criminal justice system has failed. However, the paper could not find any related literature on the question whether mob justice falls within the philosophical concept of justice. It finds that the current discourse on mob justice literature focuses on the social and economic aspects of mob justice, delving into the possible reasons behind the attacks, or the legal aspects of mob justice. The paper is therefore relevant as its objective is to determine whether mob justice meets the conceptual meaning of justice and if there is a place for such conduct within a constitutional society. The paper found that mob justice falls short of the philosophical understanding of justice and is no more than injustice. It recommends a policy shift in the form of community involvement in policing.
Distribution pattern of households’ income inequality in Eastern Cape, South Africa

Income inequality is a pervasive problem in South Africa and particularly affects the Eastern Cape, where poverty levels remain high despite several efforts to address this societal issue. The datasets from 1499 households used for this study, were extracted from the 2021 South African General Household Survey. This study thus examined the distributional pattern of households’ income inequality in Eastern Cape, South Africa, through the use of exploratory data analysis and application of regression-based decomposition of inequality. The EDA results revealed that relatively older households are more concentrated than those young people, female-headed households were also predominant in the study area, while the majority of the households are Black South Africans. The magnitude of the monetary variables’ departure from the mean inferred clear evidence of a widened households’ income disparity or inequality in the study area. The decomposition analysis indicated the contributions of various socioeconomic factors to income inequality. The findings from the regression-based decomposition of inequality found household size, access to basic infrastructure services, possession of assets, internet communication facilities, and households’ population group, as the major drivers of the households’ income inequality in the province, while livelihood diversity has a relatively moderate proportionate contribution. On the other hand, factors such as age and gender of the household head, as well as households’ involvements in agriculture have a minor effect on the households’ income inequality. This paper finally concludes that the relative contributions of each factor contributing to inequality were deemed important for designing effective policy-relevant interventions which can be used to promote economic growth and to address this persistent challenge of income inequality in society.
The artistic significance of vowel elision and ellipsis in Mqapheli Mngadi’s cartoons
Authors: Dlamini Sizwe Zwelakhe
Published: July 2023

This paper examines vowel elision and ellipsis in Mqapheli Mngadi’s cartoons. It intends to explore how these two aspects are employed by Mngadi for artistic effects in his cartoons. Even though vowel elision and ellipsis have been widely explored, there has not been a study, to the best of the researcher’s knowledge, that considers these aspects in Mngadi’s cartoons. The study is done literary, and it adopts literary stylistics as a theoretical framework.
Antecedents of big data adoption in financial institutions

Published: July 2023

Big data (BD) adoption is still relatively slow despite the numerous business opportunities that it embodies. Within the context of financial institutions in South Africa, the specific drivers of big data adoption remain largely indeterminate. Consequently, this study explores the possible relationships between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use and actual big data adoption, while being duly cognisant of the role that behavioural intention to adopt big data could play. The study employed a survey research approach and relied on data collected from a purposive sample of 195 management level employees of financial institutions. Regression analysis to test the hypothesised relationships in the study revealed that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were statistically significant predictors of big data adoption. Instructively, this relationship was subject to the extent of behavioural intention of respondents. For respondents with a low behavioural intention to adopt big data, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use displayed a statistically insignificant relationship with big data adoption. Conversely, the regression model for the group of respondents with a high behavioural intention to adopt big data is statistically significant. These findings enrich literature related to big data from a developing country context while concurrently identifying veritable antecedents of big data adoption in financial institutions.
The moderating effect of road safety and compliance training on the relationship between motor cycle accessibility to market and performance wholesale retail sector in Kenya

The use of motorcycles has increased dramatically in Africa in recent years. Motorcycles (boda boda) are often used as taxis, with riders charging a fare to carry passengers or goods by wholesalers and retailers. Motorcycle transport is certainly not without risk, including the risk of being injured in a crash. Attempts by governments to regulate the use of motorcycle taxis for safety and other reasons have largely failed, with authorities often unable to keep pace with the rapid influx of motorcycles into the continent and the high demand for their services by local populations. This study sought to establish the moderating effect of road safety and compliance training on the relationship between the motorcycle accessibility market and the performance of wholesale retail businesses in Kenya. This study was anchored on system theory. The research philosophy adopted for the study was descriptive using a quantitative approach was used. The study targeted all wholesale and retail shops in 47 counties and systematic sampling and simple random sampling techniques were employed to select a sample size of 383 respondents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential analysis was undertaken using SPSS software Version 28. On average, the findings noted that motorcycle accessibility to the markets had enhanced the growth of wholesaler and retailer businesses in Kenya with a score of 4.03 out of 5.0. On inferential statistics, the results indicate road safety and compliance training of motorcycle riders had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between the motorcycle accessibility market and performance wholesale retail business R squared change of 0.206 which translates to a 21.39% change in the R-square. This means road safety and compliance training of motorcycle riders’ moderate motorcycle accessibility market and performance positively and statistically significant. The findings imply that training motorcycle riders on road safety and compliance is very important in improving the wholesale and retail sector performance in Kenya. The government should formalize road safety and compliance, in this case, NTSA, should uphold and enhance official training of the commercial motorcycle delivery solution providers.
Toward a Distinction between Visual Word Recognition and Reading, a New Paradigm

Published: July 2023

Reading is a complex cognitive task involving processes from different systems. The present work aims to identify some points of divergence reported in the reading literature and discuss them in a new experimental paradigm framework. Inspired by the paradigms of perceptual identification and rapid parallel presentation (RPVP), we emphasize that the originality of our experimental paradigm lies in the recruitment of multi-stable Arabic percepts within the region where low-level processing occurs (i.e., the visual span area). With good flexibility, the current paradigm has reached higher-order processing levels. In agreement with previous works highlighting the parafoveal-on-foveal effect, results suggest parallel word processing. Furthermore, they suggest a rapid extraction of syntactic and semantic information from words in sentences while attributing an advantage to semantic processing in the emergence of the sentence superiority effect.
