The aims of study– a development of biochemical algorithms of early diagnostic of severity of CHF in patients with DM and IHD and analyze interrelationships between plasma redox-potential, as a marker of progressive of tissues metabolic remodeling and cardiac hypertrophy and markers of progressive of DM, neurohumoral markers of severity of CHF, and frequency of heart rhythm disturbances.

Materials and methods.172 patients, male / female (45–65 years), with diagnosis of DM (metabolic decompensation of carbohydrate metabolism, HbА1c – 7.4 ± 1.9 %) during 3–15 years, accompanied with IHD and symptoms of CHF I–IV NYHA functional class (FC). The first point of investigation was examined markers of DM progression HbА1c, changes in FC of HCHF and evidenced prognostic neurohumoral markers of myocardial dysfunction NT-proBNP, and as a second (surrogate) point – changes in redox-potential NAD / NADH and total pool of pyridine nucleotides.

Results.Mean NYHA FC CHF in cohort of DM patients and IHD was 2.4 ± 1.2, mean point of CHF estimated by scale of symptoms of CHF was 6.7 ± 0.6, mean distance in 6-minute test was 212 ± 26 m, concentration of neurohumoral markers of myocardial dysfunction NT-proBNP 178 ± 26 fmol / l at the level of HbA1c = 7.8 ± 1.0 %, mean redox-potential of plasma, НАД / НАДН, 0.71 ± 0.06 and total pool of pyridine nucleotide 15.1 ± 1.2 μmol / mg protein of plasma. For the first time was shown that changes in redox-potential and sum of pyridine nucleotide coupled with severity of CHF (FC of CHF), eliminated the correlation between NAD / NADH and HbA1c (r = –0.79, p<0.001), and NTproBNP (r = –0.73; р <0.001), and increasing of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α, r = –0.73; р <0.001). Simultaneously maintenance decreasing of NAD / NADH and sum of pyridine nucleotide in plasma of patients with DM and IHD coupled with increasing of daily mean values of paired supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles.

Conclusions.In patients with DM and CHF with left ventricular dysfunction the decreasing of redox-potential level in plasma could be recommended as a markers of increasing of metabolic remodeling and progression of cardiac hypertrophy.
Problems of Holding Subjects of Medical Activity Responsible under Administrative Law
Authors: Danilov E. O.
Published: August 2019

Analysis of normative acts, law enforcement practice and legislative activity indicates the existence of a set of problems concerning imposition of administrative responsibility on subjects of medical activity. 

Despite the fact that Chapter 6 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation provides for specific elements of offences that are detrimental to the human health, subjects of medical activity are often brought to administrative responsibility for different elements. At the same time, the current Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation does not contain rules regarding responsibility for performing illicit medical activity. While considering the cases of imposing administrative responsibility on medical organizations, we raise questions about qualification of offenses imputed to them, which is of particular importance in view of the existing duplication of powers of supervisory bodies. Another problem arises due to the imperfection of normative documents (in particular — the procedures for rendering medical care), for non-compliance with which medical organizations are held accountable. A draft law on improving administrative responsibility in the health sector, which is being considered by the State Duma, does not offer a solution to this problem, but without sufficient justification introduces duplicative special elements of crime into the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation.

Authors: Boltinova O. V. , Arzumanova L. L.
Published: August 2019

The article is devoted to the consideration of legal foundations of implementation of mega-science projects on the territory of the Russian Federation. These projects involve the implementation of breakthrough research aimed at obtaining knowledge important for the development of the whole mankind. Implementation of mega-science projects requires concentration of scientific, human and primarily financial resources, which, in turn, is possible only in the context of formation of the necessary legal framework. The study has allowed the authors to come to the conclusion that at present in the Russian Federation the necessary legal framework for the implementation of mega-science projects has been created. The most important direction of legal regulation of Mega Science covers consolidation of mechanism of financing unique scientific facilities. At the same time, the mechanism as a whole is based on the most important principle of budgetary law, namely, results-based budgeting. To this end, the main source of mega-science projects funding is the federal budget that is allocated within the framework of State programs.

The paper highlights the key problems of legal regulation and provides specific examples of the implementation of the provisions of bilateral agreements, in particular, joint Russian-American projects in the area of space, scientific, technological and educational cooperation (the program «Soyuz-Apollon», international project «International Space Station», the Russian Academy of Sciences and the US scientific institutions cooperation agreements). In conclusion, an attempt is made to identify the main trends in the development of the legal framework for cooperation between Russia and the United States in the scientific and technological field.
El caribe colombiano: entre la construcción de paz y la persistencia del conflicto
Authors: Trejos Rosero Luis Fernando , Badillo Sarmiento Reynell , Irreño Quijano Yiseth
Published: August 2019

El Caribe colombiano alberga 4 de las 16 subregiones priorizadas para la realización de Programas de Desarrollo con Enfoque Territorial (PDET). Los PDET surgieron del Acuerdo de Paz firmado entre el Gobierno colombiano y la exguerrilla de las FARC a fin de transformar las condiciones de los territorios víctimas del conflicto armado. Sin embargo, algunas de esas subregiones aún presentan expresiones de violencia armada que podrían impedir la consecución de la paz territorial y, por el contrario, podrían contribuir a perpetuar esas condiciones de conflictividad armada. El presente trabajo pretende analizar estas cuatro subregiones desde un estudio comparado a través de tres variables de análisis: presencia de rentas ilegales, presencia de actores armados y grado de afectación derivado del conflicto armado, todas durante el periodo enero-septiembre del 2018. Se encuentra que, aunque las subregiones como Sierra Nevada-Perijá y Montes de María no presentan situaciones de alta conflictividad, hay retos de carácter consensual que pueden retrasar e, incluso, sabotear la implementación de los PDET. Por su parte, las subregiones Sur de Córdoba y Sur del César, por su extensión, tienen menos retos consensuales, pero un panorama de violencia que haría aún más complejo transitar hacia el posconflicto debido a la presencia de actores que buscarán sabotear el proceso (Clan del Golfo, Los Caparrapos y Disidencias de las FARC).

Published: August 2019

Si3N4-SiC composites were prepared by adding SiC particles to the matrix in different weight
ratios.The samples were sintered with two different methods. The samples were
produced by pressureless sintering and spark plasma sintering method. In the
first method, cold isostatic pressing method was used to press the composites.
The samples were pressureless sintered at 1850 0C for 1 hour under
the nitrogen atmosphere. In the second method, the samples were spark plasma
sintered at 1650 0C under nitrogen atmosphere under 40 MPa for 5
minutes. AlN and Y2O3 were also added to Si3N4-SiC
composite mixture to aid sintering. Addition of SiC particles to the Si3N4
matrix play critical role in controlling of densificication and
microstructure properties of the sintered samples. The effect of composition
and microstructure on properties of sintered samples was analyzed.

Charged Particle Penetration Distance and Mass Stopping Power Calculations on Some Nuclear Reactor Control Rod Materials
Authors: ŞEKERCİ Mert , ÖZDOĞAN Hasan , KAPLAN Abdullah
Published: August 2019

One possible solution to the
increasing energy demand, which mankind has been facing through, might be
pointed as the nuclear reactors that work with the fission mechanism. In
order to pursue the operation of these facilities, many equipment have been
designed in a way that all of them could operate together where the control
rods could be given as one of the vital parts among them. Material properties
of these components, such as physical-chemical characteristics and their
behaviors under different interactions, have an undeniable importance. Due to
that, gathering all the possible information about the materials used for the
production of these components is extremely important. By considering this
importance, in this study, the mass stopping power and charged particle
penetration distance calculations have been done for some materials which
have possible usage in nuclear reactor control rods using alphas, 3He,
tritons, deuterons and protons within the energy range of 1-50 MeV via
employing two of the most known computer aided calculation and simulation
software which are GEANT4 and MCNP. Obtained results from both codes have
been visualized by graphing and compared with each other.

RE-EVALUATING SUSTAINABILITY OF MICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONS BY USING TOPSIS
Authors: Saad Muhammad , Mohd Taib Hasniza , Bhuiyan Abul Bashar
Published: August 2019

Purpose: The measurement of sustainability for microfinance institutions (MFIs) has been a serious problem for both practitioners and researchers over the last few decades. A multicriteria decision-making approach is used to develop an index that measures the sustainability of microfinance institutions based on the double bottom line.

Methodology: The sustainability score of MFIs operating in Pakistan for the year 2006-2015 is measured using the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). During the assessment, equal weights are assigned to all indicators of sustainability. Additionally, a hypothetical organization was assigned the industry threshold to generate composite scores using TOPSIS. Later, sustainability levels of individual MFIs were compared with this industry threshold.

Findings: Microfinance institutions that attain higher financial sustainability and positive outreach are ranked high. The result shows that the threshold sustainability level of the microfinance sector in Pakistan from 2006-2015 was 23.52, 26.31, 23.80, 45.83, 45.83, 66.67, 77.77, 91.60, and 88.88 percent respectively. Although the sustainability level in 2015 decreases with respect to 2014, still the overall growth of the sector is remarkable. Practical implications: The results obtained from TOPSIS for evaluating the sustainability of MFIs under the double bottom line highlight its practical applicability. MFIs are under immense pressure by regulatory bodies, investors, donors, and financial experts to achieve sustainability. This index would help MFIs to track progress and improve their sustainability.

Novelty/Originality: This study is the first of its kind to determine the sustainability of MFI by using all the four indicators of sustainability, including financial self-sufficiency, operational self-sufficiency, depth of outreach and breadth of outreach. Existing sustainability indicators does not provide the threshold level of sustainability. Instead, they provide a ranking of MFIs from top to bottom only. This study is novel to identify whether MFIs have met or failed to achieve sustainability by providing the threshold level.

O PENSAMENTO DE ALAIN TOURAINE E A EDUCAÇÃO: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A TEORIA DO SUJEITO E O REENCANTAMENTO DO MUNDO
Authors: Silva Camila Ferreira da
Published: August 2019

É possível falar em reencantamento do mundo após séculos de ceticismo sociológico e décadas de pessimismo educacional? As respostas para tal questionamento foram buscadas, neste artigo, na teoria do Sujeito de Alain Touraine, afinal, a democracia é tratada – nos desdobramentos desta teoria – como uma das expressões do reencantamento. A pertinência filosófica especulativa desta teoria é complementada pelo seu caráter sociológico, baseado nas relações humanas cotidianamente estabelecidas. O que acaba por sugerir uma ponte relacional com a educação, em seu sentido mais alargado, superando o reducionismo tão frequente à instituição escolar. Tendo como objetivo central, justamente, a discussão analítica destas categorias [Sujeito, Educação e Democracia], a revisão literária serve de base aqui para a construção argumentativa responsável por tecer os próprios fios condutores da presente altercação.Palavras-chave: Sujeito; Alain Touraine; Educação.

distribution width (RDW) and red cell distribution width to total serum calcium
(RDW-to-TSC) ratio were associated with mortality in patients with acute
pancreatitis (AP). Methods: A
total of 170 patients who present emergency department  between January 2017 and June 2018 with a
diagnosis of AP were enrolled in this study. A comparison between survivor and nonsurvivor AP patients
was performed. Diagnosis of AP were defined according to the revised Atlanta
classification 2012. Variables evaluated included demographics, hospital
stay, laboratorial parameters and mortality. Results: AP
related in-hospital mortality was 6.4%. Red cell distribution (RDW), white
blood cell (WBC), platelet, serum
glucose and RDW-to-TSC ratio were associated with AP mortality. RDW-to-TSC ratio had the
highest AUC (0.88; 95% CI, 0.756-1.0), followed by RDW, serum glucose, platelet and WBC (AUC = 0.801, 0.797, 0.743 and
0.687 respectively). A cut-off value of RDW-to-TSC
ratio >2.0, the highest sensitivity (91.9%), specificity (81.1%), PPV
(82.9%), and NPV (91.1%) were achieved for prediction of AP related in-hospital
mortality in approximately 86.5% of the cases (p < 0.001).

Conclusions: RDW
and TSC are  simple, inexpensive routine
serum parameters, provided in a complete blood count test and available at
admission. This study
showed that RDW > 16.6 and RDW-to-TSC > 2.0 were very good predictors for
AP mortality.

To develop and carry out calculations of heat transfer in heat-shielding materials, it is necessary to study the mechanisms of material destruction. For a composite material, it is important to study the behavior of both the material as a whole and each of its components. The work is devoted to the study of thermal oxidative degradation of highly porous material based on chopped carbon fibers, which is the preform for making advanced carbon-ceramic composite materials. The study was conducted in an oxidizing air environment using simultaneous thermal analysis with varying the initial mass of the samples and at different heating rates (5, 10, 20 K/min). The dependences of thermal effects in the material and mass loss during destruction for each sample were obtained. The influence of variable parameters on the temperature of the beginning of material destruction and the steady removal speed was established. It is shown that the destruction of the material occurs in the surface layer of a certain thickness. According to the results of thermogravimetric studies with different heating rates, a generalized kinetic model of destruction was developed and the kinetic characteristics of destruction were determined.

The Thoroughbred (TB) horse is the best racehorse breed used in the racing industry. This breed has had a closed studbook for about 300 years. In Russia TB horses have been bred since the second half of the XVIII century. The modern Russian Stud Book register of TB horses is partially presented by stallions and broodmares imported from different countries. The genealogical structure of the breed is represented by 17 lines, among which the Northern Dancer line dominates (30.9 %). The study of features of different lines of TB was carried out on 17 loci of DNA microsatellites (VHL20, HTG4, AHT4, HMS7, HTG6, AHT5, HMS6, ASB23, ASB2, HTG10, HTG7, HMS3, HMS2, ASB17, LEX3, HMS1 and CA425) to assess genetic differentiation of the genealogical structure. The results of the DNA typing of 8091 Thoroughbred horses across microsatellite loci show that the gene pool of the domestic population is represented by 100 alleles typical of the breed. A comparative analysis of the genotypes of horses representing different lines indicates that they differ in the number of alleles (85–99), allele frequencies, the level of polymorphism Ae (2.93–3.48) and the degree of the observed heterozygosity Ho (0.653–0.739). The genetic distances between the lines varied in a wide range from 0.014 (Nasrullah – Northern Dancer) to 0.125 (Massine – Teddy). The correspondence to HWE was maintained in most lines, which is confirmed by the negative values of Fis. Cluster analysis demonstrated the correspondence of the obtained dendrogram of Nei’s genetic distances to its genealogical scheme of lines. Genetic differentiation of lines by index Fst varied in a range 0.005–0.073 at the mean value Fst = 0.024. The data indicate genetic differentiation of lines of TB at the STR markers and confirm the effectiveness of the system of linear breeding for the maintenance of interbreed biodiversity.
Noncanonical effects of vasopressin in angiogenesis
Authors: Khegay I. I.
Published: August 2019

The molecular action of vasopressin depends on the localization of hormonal receptors. The basic physiological effects of vasopressin are manifested in the blood vasculature, renal inner medulla and brain. To date, new information concerning the tissue-specific spreading of vasopressin receptors has been accumulated, and it needs to be summarized. Platelets and endotheliocytes expressing V1a and V2 receptor types, respectively, are related to less investigated targets of the hormone. Vasopressin induces the initial reversible stage of platelet activation, required for interaction with intercellular matrix proteins. Platelet adhesion on endothelium activates cellular secretion of growth factors and enzymes for intercellular matrix glucosamine metabolism. Platelet hyaluronidase HYAL2 hydrolyses high-molecular hyaluronic acid to shorter fragments. Unlike intact hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of several megadaltons, generally showing distinctive antiangiogenic properties, intermediate fractions of hyaluronan hydrolysis in a range from 2.5 to 200 kilodaltons have a stimulating effect on angiogenesis. Intercellular contacts between platelets and endotheliocytes are stabilized due to adhesive transmembrane glycoprotein PECAM-1 interaction. Resulting PECAM-1 heterodimers acquire conformation with high affinity to integrins αvβ3. Integrin activation forms contact links between endothelium and fibrillar proteins. Activated endotheliocytes secrete von Willebrand factor and P-selectin. These proteins are accumulated in Weibel–Palade bodies. Vasopressin stimulates cAMP-dependent ACAP-regulated exocytosis of Weibel–Palade bodies. von Willebrand factor possesses adhesive properties and additionally accelerates interaction of cells with the intercellular matrix. Adhesion on fibrillar collagen and membrane glycoproteins in cooperation with effects of PECAM-1–αvβ3 integrin complexes fixes cell aggregates in the surrounding interstitium and promotes proliferating endotheliocyte migration in according to the direction of local growth factor gradients during angiogenesis. Neurohormonal regulation of platelet and endotheliocyte secretory activity functionally link proliferation and migration of endotheliocytes during angiogenesis and integrate it according to the adaptive capacity of the entire organism.

Here, to study the relationship between anxiety levels with changes in the neurometabolic profile in the hippocampus and amygdala, an experimental predator stress model was reproduced in which Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to cat urine for 10 minutes on a daily basis for 10 days. At the time of presentation of the stimulus, an online survey of behavioral reactions was conducted. Fear, aggressiveness, avoidance of stimulus and grooming were recorded. Fourteen days after the completion of the last stress exposure, the total level of anxiety was determined in the test of the“cross maze”. Using the method of in vivo NMR spectroscopy, the content of neurometabolites was determined in the hippocampus and in the amygdala. According to the peculiarities of behavioral reactions to a stressor, animals were retrospectively divided into two phenotypes. The first phenotype used a passive behavioral strategy, and the second phenotype was active. In animals of the first phenotype, the indicators of anxiety behavior remained at the control level. In animals of the second phenotype, a decrease in anxiety was observed. Animals of the second phenotype showed elevated levels of lactate in the hippocampus compared to animals of the first phenotype, and the lowest N-acetylaspartate levels significantly differed from those in the control and the first phenotype animals. In the amygdala, in animals of the second phenotype, the content of taurine is sharply reduced in comparison with those in the control and the animals of the first phenotype. Thus, the results obtained indicate a relationship of post-stress changes in anxiety, with the peculiarities of the behavioral reactions presented at the moment of the immediate action of the stressor. Among the hippocampal and amygdala neurometabolites, the most informative for the characterization of the anxiolytic action of the predator stress are identified.

Authors: Mokrzycka Katarzyna
Published: August 2019

Działalność biznesowa jednostek medycznych oceniana jest na podstawie zasobów ekonomicznych, które pozwalają na dokonanie oceny efektywności badanego podmiotu gospodarczego. Zestaw miar i wskaźników analitycznych jest pomocny w ocenie kondycji finansowej badanej instytucji medycznej. Artykuł ma na celu dokonanie oceny użyteczności mierników kondycji finansowej jednostek medycznych w trzech wybranych województwach: podkarpackim, małopolskim i lubelskim w latach 2014-2016. Aby móc osiągnąć cel, zastosowano źródła niezbędne w analizie wskaźników instytucji. Praca zawiera przegląd popularnych polskich modeli analizy dyskryminacyjnej w zakresie prognozowania bankructwa jednostek medycznych. Zmiany otoczenia gospodarczego wpływają na bieżącą kondycję finansową i zdolność do kontynuowania działalności. Trafność prognoz bankructwa w znacznym stopniu zależy od szybko zmieniającego się otoczenia zewnętrznego. Wnioskiem z przeprowadzonych rozważań może być stwierdzenie, że w procesie prognozowania bankructwa nie można opierać się tylko na wskaźnikach finansowych z przeszłości, można je modyfikować zmiennymi czasowymi wskazującymi na stan koniunktury.

Authors: Yusalia Henny
Published: August 2019

Arab communities who live in Kampung Al Munawar can be regarded as one of the oldest Arab ethnic settlements in Palembang. They came with the intention of bringing trade missions and religious symbols of Islam. Despite coming from other areas, this community is able to adapt well and is even recognized as Palembang people. This research conducted by socio-historical approach successfully demonstrates that there are many ways to adapt, which are demonstrated through the use of language, housing, socialization, and the adoption of various matters related to the culture developed in the community. The most important thing is the similarity in the religious affiliations. The religious factor becomes the important key which makes the adaptation can take place easily.

Published: August 2019

Objective:
This study focused on Acinetobacter
spp. that were isolated from inpatients to determine the resistance rates to
antibiotics and to monitor the resistance increase over the years.Method:
To determine whether there was a clonal relationship between the strains using
pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), to evaluate the epidemiological and
clinical data of patients, and to determine the factors that may be effective
in the formation and spread of infection, antibiotic susceptibilities of Acinetobacter strains were evaluated by
the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Molecular typing was studied with PFGE.Results:
Netilmicin had the least resistance (7%) among the strains, while the highest
resistance was found against piperacillin (92%), ceftriaxone (81%), and
doxycycline (69%). When resistance profiles of strains were compared according
to year (2005-2007), no significant changes were found for resistance rates to
piperacillin, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, doxycycline, and trimethoprim /
sulfamethoxazole. Of all the 131 tested Acinetobacter spp., 82 (62.6%)
of the strains were clustered with the PFGE method and 72.3% of the strains
were clonally related. The increase in MDR, XDR and PDR rates among the
isolated Acinetobacter spp. is remarkable. It was determined that the
degree of transmission of the strains was quite high among patients. The clone
in the hospital was able to remain in the environment for long periods and the
general patient mortality rates were higher than other studies.

Conclusions:
According to results and with the support of molecular typing studies, the need
for more effective prevention and control measures in our hospital was
demonstrated.
