The study aims to investigate the infuence of L-arginine on the content of nitrite anions (NO2¯) and nitrate anions (NO3¯) and the content of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres of BALB/c mice with antiphospholipid syndrome.

The studies were performed on 30 female BALB/c mice. The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups: 1 – control (intact) animals; 2 – animals with experimental antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), 3 – animals with APS, which were injected with L-arginine at a dose of 25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally once a day, for 10 consecutive days after the development of APS.

The increase in glial fibrillary acidic protein and stable metabolites of nitric oxide NO2¯ and NO3¯ in the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres, relative to the control, was observed in APS-developed BALB/c mice. In case of injection of the precursor of NO synthesis, L-arginine, animals with APS were found to have a further significant increase in the content of NO2¯ and NO3¯ in the cerebellum and the cerebral hemispheres. The introduction of L-arginine did not cause significant changes in GFAP (total) in cerebral hemispheres. However, GFAP content (49-37 kDa) was decreasing. The cerebellum showed an increase in GFAP (total) and GFAP (49-37 kDa) content, compared to the performance of animals with APS.

Therefore, the increase in the content of GFAP in the cerebellum and the cerebral hemispheres of BALB/c mice under APS indicates the development of reactive astrogliosis. The introduction of the precursor of NO synthesis, L-arginine, is accompanied by an increase in the content of stable metabolites of nitric oxide (NO2¯, NO3¯) and GFAP in the cerebellum of BALB/c mice, which can indirectly confirm the role of NO in regulating of GFAP expression in astrocytes under APS.

The stress polarity signaling (SPS) pathway serves as a marker and a target in the leaky gut barrier: implications in aging and cancer

Published: February 2020

The gut barrier separates trillions of microbes from the largest immune system in the body; when compromised, a “leaky” gut barrier fuels systemic inflammation, which hastens the progression of chronic diseases. Strategies to detect and repair the leaky gut barrier remain urgent and unmet needs. Recently, a stress-polarity signaling (SPS) pathway has been described in which the metabolic sensor, AMP-kinase acts via its effector, GIV (also known as Girdin) to augment epithelial polarity exclusively under energetic stress and suppresses tumor formation. Using murine and human colon-derived organoids, and enteroid-derived monolayers (EDMs) that are exposed to stressors, we reveal that the SPS-pathway is active in the intestinal epithelium and requires a catalytically active AMP-kinase. Its pharmacologic augmentation resists stress-induced collapse of the epithelium when challenged with microbes or microbial products. In addition, the SPS-pathway is suppressed in the aging gut, and its reactivation in enteroid-derived monolayers reverses aging-associated inflammation and loss of barrier function. It is also silenced during progression of colorectal cancers. These findings reveal the importance of the SPS-pathway in the gut and highlights its therapeutic potential for treating gut barrier dysfunction in aging, cancer, and dysbiosis.

Authors: Mr. Arun Gautam  , Dr. Gaurav Lodha  , Dr. Rohit Bansal  , Dr.) M.L. Vadera
Published: February 2020

GST is one of the most critical tax reforms in India which has been long awaiting decision. It is a comprehensive tax system that will subsume all indirect taxes of State and Central Governments and whole economy into seamless nation in national market. GST will be a game changing reform for Indian economy by developing a common Indian market and reducing the combined effect of tax on the cost of goods and services. GST is a consumption based tax imposed on sale, manufacturing and consumption on goods & services at national level. Several taxes such as central excise duty, service tax, central surcharge and cess etc. imposed by Central Government and VAT / sales tax, entertainment tax, octroi & entry tax, purchase tax, luxury tax, taxes on lottery etc. levied by State Governments have been subsumed under GST. The FMCG sector of India composes more than 50 % of the food and beverage industry and another 30 % from personal and household care. Under the proposed GST system, it is expected that it would result in a simpler tax system, especially for industries like FMCG. Under this system, a single product would be taxed at the same rate in every corner of the country meaning that an cooler will be taxed the same in Madhya Pradesh as well as Kerala thus we also refer GST as ONE NATION ONE TAX. This paper will help to present that, what is the impact of GST after its implementation; analyze the influence of GST on FMCG sector.

Effects of ketogenic diet intervention on selected obese IIUM students during Ramadhan
Authors: Wan Ali Munawar W.A.H. , Amid A. , Abdullah A.
Published: February 2020

Obesity and overweight are one of the main problems faced by Malaysian society due to
sedentary lifestyle and high-carbohydrate consumption. A “low glycemic diet” is
suggested as a suitable alternative in preventing obesity, because of its low carbohydrate
intake which can be referred to as Atkins or Ketogenic diet (KD). A case study was
carried out to assess the effect of KD during Ramadan on obese individuals. KD meal
intervention was developed upon consultation with a dietician and tailored for Sahur (a
pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (evening meal for breaking fast). A total of six participants were
involved in this study which consists of 2 groups. A control group of 3 selected obese
male IIUM students received no specific diet, and a study group of 3 selected obese male
IIUM students underwent KD meal intervention. The KD meal intervention was carried
out one week before Ramadan to allow the participants’ body to familiarize with high fat
and low carbohydrate diet. Results showed that most of the selected obese participants
who applied KD meal intervention exhibited satisfactory results in weight and Body Mass
Index (BMI) reduction, steady levels of blood glucose, normal blood pressure levels and
the presence of ketone bodies at a p-value < 0.01. However, the participants in the control
group showed no significant changes at p<0.01 in weight, BMI, blood glucose levels,
blood pressure and not a trace of ketone bodies. The findings of this study indicated that
KD showed a positive effect on obesity control when conducted during Ramadan fasting.
Maquiavel e Rousseau: A luta por reconhecimento
Authors: Silva Antonio Cesar Ferreira da
Published: February 2020

A luta por reconhecimento é uma das questões centrais do debate político contemporâneo. Diversos pensadores transformaram esta temática no centro de suas reflexões. No entanto, este debate tem suas origens na obra do pensador Maquiavel. A perspectiva política de Maquiavel, que envolve a questão do reconhecimento, foi fundamental no debate travado entre os pensadores contratualistas como Hobbes, Locke e Rousseau. Assim, como para Maquiavel, o tema da luta por reconhecimento é fundamental para Rousseau. É inegável a influência de Maquiavel sobre os contratualistas, incluindo o pensador genebrino e seu pensamento em torno da luta por reconhecimento. Neste sentido, Rousseau se encontra no conjunto dos leitores de Maquiavel. Desta forma, o texto se debruça sobre o tema da luta pelo reconhecimento na obra de Maquiavel e os reflexos que se desdobram na obra de Rousseau.
O Republicanismo de Tocqueville como crítica ao Despotismo nas Eras Democráticas
Authors: Oliveira Juliano Cordeiro da Costa
Published: February 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar o republicanismo presente no pensamento de Alexis de Tocqueville, como crítica ao despotismo nas eras democráticas. Para tanto, seguiremos a leitura interpretativa de autores contemporâneos como Hannah Arendt, Charles Taylor e Jacques Rancière, que destacam, em suas reflexões, a interpretação de Tocqueville acerca da revolução americana, enfatizando os limites e as possibilidade de uma política participativa como crítica a um despotismo emergente na democracia. Tocqueville observa uma tendência, na democracia, de um crescente individualismo moderno, junto com a perda dos laços comunitários, essenciais para a vida pública. Ele mostra-se preocupado com a indiferença pela política enquanto participação da sociedade nas decisões, havendo o perigo de uma nova, especificamente moderna, forma de despotismo. Não será uma tirania do terror e da opressão. O governo poderá até se manter com eleições periódicas. Porém, tudo poderá ser governado por um enorme poder tutelar sobre o qual o povo terá pouco ou nenhum controle. Esse tipo de servidão regrada, doce e calma pode perfeitamente se estabelecer nas democracias. Somente com uma cultura de participação política, através de associações comunitárias, em vários níveis do poder, poderemos, diz Tocqueville, combater o despotismo crescente na democracia.

Paul Horwich: Significado como Uso/Paul Horwich: Meaning as Use
Authors: Carmo Juliano Santos do
Published: February 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo geral destacar alguns aspectos fundamentais para o entendimento adequado do significado linguístico centrado na ideia de “uso”. A noção de uso enquanto determinante do significado foi proposta pela primeira vez por Wittgenstein nas Investigações Filosóficas (1953). Desde então, surgiram muitas tentativas de compatibilizar a noção de uso com as demais perspectivas oferecidas pelo filósofo naquela obra, não obstante, a questão ainda permanece distante de atingir um consenso. Recentemente, a teoria do significado como uso proposta por Paul Horwich, reacendeu o debate a respeito das noções de uso, significado e naturalismo semântico. A abordagem inspiradora de Horwich tem se revelado uma excelente estratégia tanto no que se refere a evidenciar a pertinência da proposta wittgensteiniana, como no sentido de oferecer soluções eficazes às objeções recorrentes que ela enfrenta. O objetivo específico deste trabalho é mostrar o modo como Horwich pretende resolver algumas daquelas objeções.
Sobre a categoria do Espirituoso em Joseph Addison e seus pressupostos lockeanos/On Joseph Addison's category of wit and its lockean assumptions
Authors: Torriani Tristan Guillermo
Published: February 2020

Joseph Addison (1672-1719), um dos pais da estética britânica, forneceu uma das formulações clássicas do espirituoso (esprit, wit) como conjunção de surpresa e prazer. O propósito deste artigo é o de mostrar o caráter exploratório da teorização estética britânica em seu estágio ainda embrionário. Além da precariedade conceitual, destacava-se a ênfase no prazer, constituindo, portanto, realmente um hedonismo e não apenas um sensismo (ou seja, as teorias, antes do advento do associacionismo, que postulavam sentidos para captar os prazeres estéticos). Tanto em Addison quanto em Hutcheson (1694–1746) a influência fundamental é o empirismo de Locke (1632-1704). Além dessa base psicológica, o humor e o espirituoso possuem também uma dimensão prática, vinculada ao jornalismo e à formação da esfera pública burguesa, na qual a sátira desempenhava uma função de controle normativo sobre o senso comum.
Uma revisão das pretensões universalistas da Hermenêutica/A revision of the Universalist claims of Hermeneutics
Authors: Borges Bento Itamar
Published: February 2020

Resumo: As disputas acadêmicas entre, de um lado, as posturas metodologicas da crítica as e da hermenêutica, e, de outro, acerca da divisao e da hierarquia entre ciencias humanas e ciencias naturais, vieram inspirar em meados do século XX uma aposta na crescente influência da interpretação, que implicava até mesmo na preponderância da compreensão sobre a explicação. Este artigo retoma um estudo sobre as "pretensões universalistas da hermenêutica" em três autores: Habermas, Gadamer e Bubner. E, para atualizar o debate, indica a recente teoria lexical de Pustejovsky, como sintoma da permanência do velho problema do combate à ambiguidade.   Abstract: The academic disputes in the last two centuries concerning methodological approaches and the division between natural and human sciences have lately inspired the belief that hermeneutics could be accepted as a universal reference, since comprehension should overlap explanation. Among recent philosophers, such as Gadamer and Habermas, this debate opposes hermeneutics and critical theory. From the technical and even industrial requirements of our days, the old problem of ambiguity and misunderstanding is now a task for machines: computers should learn how to search words [including “key-words”] and translate texts. This new situation should bring philosophy back to philosophical hermeneutics – but certainly without the previous universalizing intentions.

Como tal, o PP se oferece como um princípio absoluto para decisões reguladoras de práticas que se apropriam de tais avanços tecnológicos. Porém, um dos problemas centrais do PP está em sua falta de clareza conceitual. O propósito central deste artigo é contribuir para tal esclarecimento. Diante disto, discutiremos o PP a partir de dois pontos de vista: um referente à racionalidade epistêmica; o outro referente à moralidade. Argumentaremos que compromissos relacionados a estes pontos de vista compõem o PP e, contrariamente à expressiva tendência na literatura contemporânea de interpretar o PP como obedecendo a uma lógica consequencialista de ações, tentaremos mostrar que o PP é um princípio que expressa um ideal deontológico. Por fim, consideraremos alguns problemas relacionados ao PP. Mais especificamente, argumentaremos que o PP incorpora ideais substantivos epistêmicos e morais, contrariamente à tendência disseminada entre defensores do mesmo, que sugerem que o PP é um princípio formal e trivial para invidíduos racionais e morais.Abstract: In recent discussions about the uses to be made of the latest scientific and technological results there have often been appeals to the Precautionary Principle (PP). As such, the PP has been taken up as an absolute principle for regulatory decisions regarding practices that make use of the scientific and technological developments. However, one serious problem with the PP is its lack of conceptual clarity. The main aim of this paper is to contribute to such a clarification. Thus, we shall approach the PP from two standpoints: one related to epistemic rationality; the other related to morality. We shall argue that commitments stemming from these two standpoints are constitutive of the PP and, contrary to the current trend in the contemporary literature on the topic—of interpreting the PP as a principle which carries a consequentialist logic of assessment of actions—, we will try to show that the PP is a principle which expresses a deontological ideal. In the last part of the paper, we will address some problems that might affect the PP. More specifically, we shall argue that the PP embodies substantive epistemic and moral ideals, and that this lies in direct opposition to a widespread tendency among defenders of the PP of seeing it as a formal and trivial principle for rational and moral individuals.

Students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) can be honed by gradually developing new concepts from their multiple representation abilities through HOTS-based multiple representation learning models. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of HOTS -based multiple representation learning models on circular motion material. The method used is in the form of quantitative research — the study design used pre-experimental design. The sampling technique is purposive sampling of physics education students. It was found that HOTS-based multiple representation learning models on circular motion material effectiveness were achieved as expected in this study, the effectiveness of 1.06. The statistical hypothesis test used in the form of U Mann Whitney with the results of Asymp. Sig. 0.04 < 0.05, the hypothesis is accepted, meaning that there is the influence of the application of HOTS based multiple representation learning model on student learning outcomes in circular motion material. Improved learning outcomes were shown from the results of the average pretest score of 50.0 and the post-test of 85.9 with N-Gain of 0.7 in the high category. The positive response of students to the application of this learning model shows a percentage value of 96.7% with very strong.
“Economic Miracle” in France: Formation and Results of the Dirigisme Model in 1944–1973
Authors: Khudokormov A. G.
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the article is to show the determining role of dirigisme in the restoration and prosperity of France in the period 1944–1973; the influence of nationalization of enterprises of leading industries, banks on a compensatory basis; indicative planning for the revival of the country’s economy and achieving high rates of its growth; the rise of agriculture; the formation of a unified system of state social insurance. As a result of the reforms carried out in the 1950s and 1960s, these decades were a period of accelerated and almost continuous growth of the French economy. The ‘engines’ of economic growth were heavy industries, which accounted for the majority of all investment in the industry. The equipment in machine building (first of all in the car and aircraft construction, production of machines and devices) was updated; metallurgy, electrical engineering, chemistry, oil refining were modernised; the nuclear industry was created for the first time in the history. At the same time, in agriculture was held large-scale mechanisation. All this was accompanied by significant positive changes in the social sphere: soon after the end of WWII, the 40-hour working week was restored, annual leave for workers and employees was returned. Already by 1946, a unified state social insurance system was formed, which extended to all categories of employees, except for workers in the agricultural sector. As a result, the dirigisme model in France in the period 1944–1973 allowed this country not only to restore the war-ravaged economy, and also to achieve impressive success in industry, agriculture and the social sphere, to return it to one of the key positions in the world. It leads to the conclusion that the experience of using the conductor model in France can be used in the development of areas of reform of the Russian economy in current conditions.
Export and Change Yourself: Key Challenges for Fast-growing Technology Companies in Russia
Authors: Medovnikov D. S. , Rozmirovich S. D.
Published: February 2020

The article presents the results of a survey of the Russian fast-growing innovative companies participating in the national rating “Techuspekh”. As a part of the study, we 81 surveyed companies and interviewed the company’s ten executives. The aim of the researchers was an analysis of the development of export companies and solving their organisational and management problems. More than half of the companies consider the domestic market as a priority. However, despite this, three-quarters of firms operate in foreign markets. The share of exports in revenue is still small and averages 10 per cent. It seems that companies are more likely to probe foreign markets. Financial terms of supply, organisation of after-sales service, advertising and work with the brand remain the weak side of exporting companies. The main directions of organisational and managerial changes in these companies over the past three years were: scaling of production capacity, digitalisation of business, development of HR-system and development of work with consumers. Among the main organisational problems to be solved in the future, the companies mentioned the weak development of sales in foreign markets, the problems of stimulating and motivating staff, and the lack of efficiency of existing business processes. At the same time, many of the surveyed managers do not pay enough attention to the systematic work on the analysis of changes in the organisational and managerial environment of the company and the planning of measures to improve it.
Gender Asymmetry of Small Business (on the Example of Moscow)
Authors: Baskakova M. E.
Published: February 2020

The article examines trends, problems and prospects for broader involvement in entrepreneurship of women as the most professionally educated part of the country’s manpower, which could, on the one hand, impart the necessary dynamics to the business development process, and, on the other hand, expand opportunities and flexibility of professional employment of women themselves. The purpose of the article is to analyse the existing gender asymmetry of the parameters of Russian entrepreneurship and their characteristics in the capital, to identify gender differences in the barriers that entrepreneurs face in their work, to assess the possibilities and conditions for expanding employment of women in small and medium businesses. The work is based on data from Rosstat, obtained in the framework of projects “Population survey on employment problems” and “Comprehensive monitoring of living conditions of the population”, as well as from a survey of Moscow population engaged in small business, which was conducted by the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2015. The author showed that barriers faced by entrepreneurs in their activities are not discriminatory, and the differences in expectations for government support, demonstrated by male and female entrepreneurs, mainly reflect the difference in the size of their business and segregation of the business by economic activity.
European Union — Mexico: The Conclusion of a “New Generation” Trade Agreement
Authors: Sidorenko T. V.
Published: February 2020

The article analyses the main innovations of the modernised free trade agreement between the European Union and Mexico, signed in April 2018. The author examined such aspects of the agreement as the liberalisation of trade in food, telecommunications, financial services, as well as e-commerce, providing access to the market of government procurement, protection of intellectual property rights, investment facilitation and other. Members of the EU emphasised that the conclusion of a “new generation” trade agreement with Mexico is in line with the updated foreign economic strategy of this integration association, aimed at promoting the commercial interests of the European business outside the EU. They also argue that Mexico is a desirable market for the European companies, given the size of its economy, its population, and its membership in NAFTA. Therefore, the entry into force of the modernised agreement will allow the intensification of the trade and investment relations between the partners. The latter should provide an additional incentive for their economic development, especially for Mexico.
Interregional Structural Factor of Labour Productivity Growth in Russia
Authors: Balatsky E. V. , Ekimova N. A.
Published: February 2020

In the article, we consider changes in the arrangement of the subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of labour productivity for the period 2000–2017. We show that currently in Russia, there is an extremely high differentiation of regions in terms of labour productivity, and over the past two decades, there has been an increase in it. The figures that allow us to conclude about the unique territorial structure of Russia we give in the text, namely: part of the Russian regions belong to the group of core countries in terms of technological development; the other part — to the countries of the semi-periphery; the third — to the countries of the periphery. We showed that in the periods of 2000–2010 and 2010–2017 characterised completely different structural schemes of the country’s development. The share of so-called “between effect” in the growth of the total labour productivity in Russia in the second period increased more than ten times as compared to the first period. It means that in the second decade of the XXI century the country’s regional labour overflows accelerated. It simultaneously contributed to the growth of productivity and even more entrenched concentric model of development, increasing the differentiation of subjects of the Russian Federation.
Analysis of Regional Policy in Support of Persons with Disabilities
Authors: Seidalin A. ​Z.
Published: February 2020

According to the WHO “World Report on Disability 2011”, there are more than a billion people with disabilities worldwide. At the current stage of development of the social state in the Russian Federation, one of the most priority issues is to ensure socialisation, integration into society and comfortable living for people with disabilities. A disabled person, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, is a person who has health disorders that cause the need for social protection due to life restrictions associated with injuries, diseases and/or defects. At the same time, the limitations of vital activity mean the loss of several functions possessed by a healthy person: self-service, independent movement, the ability to communicate, orientation in space, control of their behaviour, learning, employment and other activities. This article is aimed at studying the measures taken by the regional authorities to support the integration of persons with disabilities into society.
