DNA extraction protocol for Cryptosporidium spps in stool samples (Adapted from GF-1 Soil Sample DNA extraction Kit) v1
Authors: AK Khan Asar , Shams Sumaira , Ali Abid , Khan Saima , Iftikhar Khan Muhammad
Published: July 2018

The GF-1 Soil Sample DNA Extraction Kit is designed for the rapid and efficient purification of bacteria DNA from soil samples without the need for precipitation or organic extraction. The kit uses a high pure specially-treated silica-based material fixed into a column to efficiently bind DNA in the presence of high salt. The kit applies the principle of a minicolumn spin technology and the use of optimized buffers to ensure that only DNA is isolated while cellular protein, humic acid, metabolites, salts and other low molecular weight impurities are removed during the subsequent washing steps. We used this protocol for Cryptosporidium spp DNA extraction from stool samples with minor modifications and its working.

Authors: Ginandjar Agi
Published: July 2018

This paper discusses the communication of cultural heritage in adolescents, in particular information on the cultural heritage of the kingdom of Majapahit in Trowulan, East Java, Indonesia. In the context of public archaeology, public communication is no longer presented in mind-numbing information; instead the information is presented to increase positive attitude and behavior toward the cultural heritage. In the context of marketing communication, the submission of information that is in accordance to the consumers’ or visitors’ wishes can no longer be fulfilled merely by the facts, but also by presenting the information through underdog or topdog stories or narrations. The objective of the research in this paper is to verify the influence of information on Majapahit cultural heritage in the form of narration on public attitude, visit intention, and pride. The research used 3x1 experiment design between participants. The findings of the research verified that the influence of cultural heritage information in the form of topdog narration directly increased the participants’ attitude and visit intention on the Majapahit relics in Trowulan. Additionally, topdog narration formed cultural heritage information also increased the participants’ pride on Indonesia.
The Case of Cultural Words Translation from Okky Madasari’s Novel Entrok (2010) into The Years of the Voiceless (2013)
Authors: Khairiah Dewi
Published: July 2018

This research on translation problems aims to describe the translation of cultural words from Entrok novel into The Years of the Voiceless (2013). This research was conducted through qualitative and functional approaches and was analyzed by using Williams and Chesterman’s causal comparative model to see the translation procedures applied to fulfill the skopos. Based on Newmark’s cultural words category, the researcher identified 80 cultural words that were categorized into (1) material culture; (2) social culture and leisure; and (3) organization, customs, procedure, activity, and concept. The data were collected through library research and interview with the translator. The research then used the causal comparative technique to compare the source text’s cultural words with its translation and to analyze the translation procedures chosen by the translator to fulfill the skopos of TT. There are four translation problems found in this research and they are: (1) a reference and concept in SL having no reference and concept in TL, (2) a reference and a concept in SL not lexicalized in TL, (3) TL lacking of specific words, and (4) different perspective between SL and TL in viewing a reference. To deal with those translation problems, there are 9 procedures applied by the translator that include explicitation, generalization, literal, calque, couplet (transference and footnote, transposition and cultural equivalent, transposition and functional equivalent), cultural equivalent, descriptive equivalent, functional equivalent, and transference. TT fulfills its skopos through the translation procedures applied by considering the ST’s context. According to the review of TT readers, TT is considered succeed to maintain the writer’s language of style and give the nuance of ST’s culture. The footnote also helps TT readers to understand ST cultural words but minimizes readers’ comfort in reading.
PEREMPUAN ATAU WANITA? PERBANDINGAN BERBASIS KORPUS TENTANG LEKSIKON BERBIAS GENDER
Authors: Yuliawati Susi
Published: July 2018

Among the debates on the choice of Indonesian term for woman, the present research examines the use of the gendered lexicon perempuan and wanita with the aim to reveal which term is more preferable and how the terms are used to talk about woman. Using corpus-based approach, the study compares frequency and pattern of word usage of perempuan and wanita from two corpora, namely IndonesianWac and ind_mixed_2013. The research uses a mixed-method design in which quantitative analysis is used to identify word frequency and to measure significant collocation, while the qualitative analysis is used to determine meaning on the basis of semantic preference. The study reveals that the word wanita tends to be more frequently used than the word perempuan to signify woman. In terms of meaning, both of the words are used to talk about woman in relation to body, especially their reproductive function, people particularly men, family, and age. The difference is that perempuan tends to relate woman with the issues of gender equality and organization, while wanita with sexual relationship. Furthermore, it strongly indicates that woman in relation to their public domain is denoted with the term perempuan, whereas the relation with domestic domain is denoted with wanita.

Cardioprotection of Ischemic Myocardium
Authors: Bulion Valentina V , Krylova Irina B , Selina Elena N
Published: July 2018

Aim. Cardioprotective effect of precursors in the synthesis of the uridine-5ʼ-diphosphate (UDP) - the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channels (mitoKATP channels) endogenous activator - uridine and uridine-5ʼ-monophosphate (UMP) and the relation between there mechanism of action and activity of mitoKATP channels were studied. Methods. The experiments were performed on the male Wistar rats weighing 300-350 g. Acute myocardial ischemia (MI) lasting 60 min was produced by occlusion of the descending branch of the left coronary artery (LCA) under artificial pulmonary ventilation. Animals were anesthetized with sodium ethaminal (50 mg/kg). Uridine or UMP in the dose of 30 mg/kg was injected intravenously 5 min prior to LCA occlusion. A selective blocker of these channels 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD, 5 mg/kg intravenously 5 min prior to injection of uridine or UMP) was used to detect the involvement of mitoKATP channels in the effects of drugs. ATP and creatine phosphate (CP) was determined in the heart homogenates. The intensity of lipid peroxidation (LPO) was estimated by the content of lipid hydroperoxides (LHP) and the state of the antioxidant system (AOS) by superoxidedismutase (SOD) activity and the reduced glutathione (GH) content. Results. Occlusion of the LCA during 60 min led to the decrease of ATP and CP content in the myocardium by 35% and 59% respectively. At the same time changes in LPO and AOS were observed. The amount of LHP increased by 97%, the activity of SOD was reduced by 28% and the content of GH decreased by 30%. Uridine and UMP given 5 minutes prior to LCA occlusion prevented the development of these metabolic disorders in the ischemic myocardium. Selective blocker of mitoKATP channels 5-HD eliminated the protective effect of both drugs. Conclusion. Uridin and UMP have the evident cardioprotective effect in the acute MI, stabilizing the miocardium energy metabolism, preventing the AOS function depression and excessive activation of LPO. The mechanism of protective action of the drugs is associated with the activation of mitoKATP channels. (For citation: Bulion VV, Krylova IB, Selina EN. Cardioprotection of ischemic myocardium.

Problems of rational medicines use: the situation in Kyrgyzstan
Authors: Zurdinova Aida A
Published: July 2018

The article discusses the problems of irrational medicines use at the hospital level of the health care system from the perspective of evidence-based medicine and assessment of the adherence of doctors to follow the recommendations from the developed clinical guidelines and protocols of the Kyrgyz Republic. The study purpose was to analyze the use of medicines and assess the problems of irrational use in hospital-based health facilities in the Kyrgyz Republic. The material of the study was the sheets of prescriptions from the case histories and the questionnaire on the study of the determinants for using and prescription of medicines by methods of excavation, questionnaires and the analysis of the prescriptions to clinical guidelines and protocols. The results of our study showed that doctors admit inefficient use of medicines - polypharmacy, prescription of drugs with unproven efficacy and safety, do not follow recommendations from clinical guidelines and protocols under different pretexts. Data from the questionnaires of doctors revealed an inverse correlation between the prescriptions of medicines in accordance with approved national clinical guidelines and protocols and work experience, i.e. the longer the work of the doctor, the less they are guided by the clinical guidelines and protocols (p < 0.05). The results indicate a low level of adherence of doctors to the use of clinical guidelines and protocols, gaps in the awareness of the population on the use of drugs, the lack of a single information system in the sphere of drug circulation.

Authors: Sorokin Gennady A. , Suslov Viktor L. , Yakovlev Evgenii V.
Published: July 2018

The purpose of the research was to establish the relationship patterns of acute and chronic (professional burnout, PV) fatigue of doctors with the workload that was characterized by a combination of the length of the working week and the intensity of the labor process. The study involved 325 women doctors. A special questionnaire was used to identify the symptoms of acute and chronic fatigue, duration and intensity of work, to assess the professional and non-professional causes of usual fatigue at work. It was found that the average workload of doctors was 44.9 hours per week, taking into account the physiological intensity of labor — 50.3 normalized hours (NH). The frequency of most of the symptoms of PV increases by 2–3 times at NH > 58 hours, compared with the load at NH < 42 hours. In case NH > 47 hours on a daily fatigue doctors are largely influenced by the factors: work in evening and night shifts; the imbalance of effort and reward; the uncertainty of the obligations; extra-working load; lack of free time. The daily fatigue of doctors is also significantly affected by their individual characteristics — health and anxiety type of behavior.

Diagnosis and treatment of pulmonarydisease in α1-antitrypsin deficiency: a statement of European Respiratory Society
Authors: Editorial Article
Published: July 2018

Alfa-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is the most common hereditary disorder in adults. It is associated with an increased risk of developing pulmonary emphysema and liver disease. The lung injury in AATD is closely associated with smoking, but progressive lung disease could occur even in never-smokers. A number of individuals with AATD remain undiagnosed and therefore do not receive appropriate care and treatment. The most recent international document on AATD was the joint statement of the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society published in 2003. Thereafter, there has been a continuous development of novel, more accurate and less expensive genetic diagnostic methods. Furthermore, new outcome parameters have been developed and validated for use in clinical trials and a new series of observational and randomized clinical trials have provided more evidence concerning the efficacy and safety of augmentation therapy, the only specific treatment available for the pulmonary disease associated with AATD. As AATD is a rare disease, it is important to createnational and international registries and to collect information prospectively about the natural history of the disease. Management of AATD patients must be supervised by national or regional expert centres and inequalities in access to therapies across Europe should be addressed.

Published: July 2018

The goal of this study was to analyze qualitative and quantitative changes in pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange early after endobronchial valve (EBV) placement intended to induce artificial local collapsed lung in patients with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods. The study involved 74 patients with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis underwent EBV placement to achieve cavity closure. As a result of EBV placement, one to two lung segments were blocked in 25 patients, three lung segments were blocked in 37 patients, and four to five lung segments were blocked in 12 patients. Pulmonary function and blood gases were measured in all patients before and 4 to 6 weeks after placing EVB. Results. Pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange parameters changed early after EBV placement in > 50% of patients. FVC and blood gas parameters changed more often than spirometry parameters. Functional improvement was considered in cases of blood gas improvement and, less frequently, in cases of VC improvement. Functional worsening was considered in cases in lung function decrease and development of mixed (coexisting obstructive and restrictive) abnormalities. Conclusion. In patients with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis, EBV placement caused functional worsening more likely in patients with normal lung function at baseline. Functional worsening after EBV placement was 3- to 10-fold less likely in those with pulmonary ventilation abnormalities, such as VC decrease or bronchial obstruction, at baseline. Functional improvement after EBV placement was more often seen in moderately decreased lung functional parameters at baseline but not in patients with normal lung function.

Authors: Drapkina O. M. , Shepel R. N. , Deeva T. A. , Kaburova A. N.
Published: July 2018

Objective. To investigate the serum levels of galectin‑3 in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and in patients with combination of MS and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), as well as to define the role of this marker of fibrosis in MS.

Design and methods. The study included 43 patients with MS (33 patients had LVH), and 33 patients of comparable age without MS (LVH was diagnosed in 10). The level of serum galectin‑3 was determined by enzyme immunoassay kits Platinum ELISA.

Results. The average level of galectin‑3 in the MS group was significantly higher (1,89 ± 1,71 ng/ml), compared to the group without MS (1,03 ± 0,22 ng/ml, p = 0,006). The study showed a positive correlation between the level of galectin‑3 and LVH (r = 0,323, p = 0,004). The mean value of galectin‑3 in patients with no evidence of LVH was 1,2 ± 0,76 ng/ml, in patients with LVH — 2,1 ± 2,02 ng/ml.

Conclusions. In patients with MS the level of galectin‑3 was higher than in patients without MS, and in patients with MS and concomitant LVH it was higher than in patients without LVH. In patients with MS and LVH increased galectin‑3 levels may indicate the severity of myocardial fibrosis and help for prognosis evaluation.

Authors: Ibragimova Kh. I. , Mammaev S. N. , Omarova J. A.
Published: July 2018

The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, treatment effects and outcomes of the majority of cardiovascular disease differ between men and women. These differences occur due to the various expression of sex chromosome genes resulting in the different levels of sex hormones. As a result, gender-related differencesin the functioning of cardiovascular system are well-known, including vascular regulation, heart remodeling, drug metabolism, etc. Gender differences related to the cultural and social factors (behaviour, nutrition, life style, coping-strategies, relation to the disease and its prevention, etc.) also affect the course of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension. The gender–related issues of the regulation of blood pressure and therapeutic approaches to the treatment of hypertension remain the subject of high interest and debate.
Arterial hypertension associated with metabolic syndrome: clinical expert parameters, disability and aspects of rehabilitation
Authors: Sergeeva V. V. , Rodionova A. U.
Published: July 2018

Objective. To study clinical and expert parameters, life limitations and aspects of rehabilitation using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in patients with systemic hypertension (HTN) associated with metabolic syndrome (MS).

Design and methods. The study included 273 patients with HTN and MS, examined in the Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise of St Petersburg. All patients underwent complete examination when referred for medical and social expertise. The profile of patients’ functioning and rehabilitation effectiveness were studied using the ICF domains: b4200 — increased blood pressure; b4150 — arterial function; b4101 — heart rate; b4102 — myocardial contractility; b4550 — general physical endurance; b460 — cardiovascular sensations. The severity of the violations was coded using a quantitative assessment from their absence (0–4%) to absolute violations (96–100%).

Results. In HTN patients examined in the Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise of St Petersburg, the 3‑component MS (disorders of glucose metabolism, abdominal obesity, increased level of low-density lipoproteins) is the most common one. Persistent violations result from a high degree of HTN, severity of complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, functional class of angina and chronic heart failure, severity of arrhythmias. Evaluation of cardiovascular dysfunction with ICF showed a wide range from absence of violations to absolute impairments in the same patient. The patients demonstrate 1–2 degree disability. After rehabilitation measures, some ICF domains changed.

Conclusions. Clinical and expert evaluation of HTN with MS is variable depending on the severity of MS components. Patients with HTN with MS, recognized as disabled, need a complex of rehabilitation measures, including all the main directions of an individual rehabilitation/habilitation program. ICF can be used to assess impaired functions in patients and their changes after rehabilitation measures.

Authors: Muniz Cátia Regina , Bergo Leugi Guilherme , Alves Angela Maria
Published: July 2018

A proposta deste artigo é apresentar uma abordagem possível para investigação das condições que levam mulheres ao encarceramento, e também as condições que estas mesmas mulheres enfrentam ao deixar a tutela do Estado, concentrando-se na qualidade de vida e de reinserção social após encarceramento e também nos direitos da mulher. Neste sentido, apresentamos a importância de ouvir tais mulheres, enfatizando o método e a técnica de pesquisa utilizados para coleta e análise de dados e também quais são os referenciais analíticos que fundamentam esse ouvir. Concentramos o foco de investigação nas egressas do sistema, visto que seus relatos permitem reunir informações sobre como eram as condições de vida antes, durante e após sua prisão. Mais especificamente, discutimos a adequação metodológica do estudo de caso e das histórias de vida para a investigação deste tipo de fenômeno, com potenciais implicações para além da análise do sistema prisional. Os pressupostos analíticos se basearam em teorias que trabalham com a desconstrução de oposições binárias. O objetivo da escuta da narrativa dessas mulheres não é apenas entender suas condições de vida, mas também identificar possíveis ações de melhoria e coligir insumos de apoio à formulação de políticas públicas para egressas do sistema prisional.

O artigo trata da aplicação do enfoque da governança multi-nível ao desenvolvimento rural no Brasil. A primeira parte faz uma revisão da teoria da governança multi-nível e das suas evoluções. A segunda apresenta os dispositivos de governança multi-nível intermunicipais no Brasil: os consórcios e os territórios. Os consórcios intermunicipais de desenvolvimento foram criados para financiar infraestruturas sociais setoriais (saúde, saneamento, educação) antes de ser reconhecidos pela constituição federal. As politicas de desenvolvimento territorial são mais recentes; começaram a ser discutidas no fim dos anos 1990 e aplicadas nos anos 2000. A terceira parte tira alguns ensinamentos de um estado de caso no Norte do Estado do Mato Grosso onde os dois dispositivos foram aplicados na mesma região para o apoio a agricultura familiar. Analisa os avanços e as dificuldades dessas politicas em termos e coordenação entre atores e níveis e governos.
ANÁLISE DAS DIRETRIZES DA POLÍTICA PÚBLICA: PARA ALÉM DOS 3ES
Authors: Scheeffer Fernando
Published: July 2018

No escopo da Administração pública destaca-se o esforço para a construção de indicadores e métodos de análise e avaliação de políticas públicas, com ênfase nos 3Es: eficiência, eficácia e efetividade. Trata-se de uma agenda relevante, sobretudo por contribuir para a potencialização do esforço do Estado brasileiro a fim de dar conta das inúmeras demandas que se depara cotidianamente. Diante desse contexto, o presente artigo pretende tratar da importância de se analisar as diretrizes das políticas públicas, isto é, da concepção político-ideológica que as alicerça. Escolhas como focalização versus universalização, defesa dos mínimos sociais ou das necessidades básicas, oferecimento de políticas públicas enquanto direito social ou na ótica do favor, são exemplos de questões relacionadas à divergências em relação ao papel do Estado e com implicações significativas no formato das políticas públicas. Buscar desvendar o pano de fundo das políticas públicas se demonstra tarefa relevante e complementar ao estudo de indicadores de desempenho. Se é imprescindível avaliar se as políticas que estão sendo adotadas estão, de fato, atingindo os “alvos certos” (consequências), esforço de tamanha relevância é constatar o porquê do delineamento posto em execução (causas). Longe de ser uma diferente perspectiva, exalta a possibilidade de complementariedade entre duas grandes áreas: administração pública e ciência política.

O interesse deste artigo é analisar as ações administrativas dos prefeitos oriundas de suas relações sociais e políticas e compreender em que fundamento a sua autoridade está baseada. Segundo a teoria de dominação de Max Weber (2000), a autoridade do soberano pode estar baseada em três tipos puros legítimos de dominação, a saber: dominação tradicional, dominação carismática e dominação legal. A metodologia apoiou se numa abordagem qualitativa e no método Tipo Ideal de Weber que é um instrumento investigativo que possibilita o cientista social compreender se as ações do líder estão sendo orientadas pela tradição, pelo carisma ou pela legalidade. Foram entrevistados sete prefeitos da região do Alto Paranaíba do Estado de Minas Gerais, tendo optado pela análise de conteúdo como técnica de pesquisa. Os resultados obtidos possibilitaram entender que os prefeitos entrevistados agem de acordo com a legalidade e que suas vontades e desejos estão subordinados as leis pelas quais pautam seus atos. Portanto, de acordo com os estudos de dominação de Max Weber atrelados com a realidade social e política dos prefeitos, a dominação legal apresentou como base legítima do reconhecimento da autoridade dos gestores públicos municipais por parte das pessoas.
