Administrative Quasi-Judicial Bodies: A Tool for the Independence of Justice from the State?
Authors: Bechet-Golovko K.
Published: September 2019

The paper analyzes the legal institution of administrative quasi-judicial bodies in the Anglo-Saxon and continental European legal families. In general, administrative quasi-judicial bodies refer to bodies created by the state (the legislature or, as in the US, the president) for the purpose of regulating certain critical areas of activity (the economy and human rights), as well as for settling disputes out of court, when the state does not consider itself legitimate to intervene directly. For ideological reasons, this institution is more developed in the AngloSaxon countries, in which the mechanisms of deregulation, or the phenomenon of deetatization, are the norm of government. In the countries of the European-continental model, the state played a decisive role for a long time, which is why the spread of this institution began later and was carried out more slowly, mainly after the Second World War, when the state was discredited ideologically in favor of civil society. The relevance of these bodies to the state continues to give rise to many doctrinal disputes, especially in the context of their independence. The independence of quasi-judicial administrative bodies does not mean that they are irresponsible and that the state that creates them has no obligations. Moreover, all legal principles and guarantees of the independence and impartiality of justice are applied in the performance of judicial functions by these bodies. Here there is an ideological impasse: attempts to alienate justice from the state through the establishment of para-state judicial bodies will result either in their politicization or in their return to the public sphere.

Background: Incorrect epigenetic modifications of the human genome may result in epigenetic disorders, thus, highlighting the necessity of studying chromosome epigenetic patterns in human development. Aim of the study: A comparative analysis of acetylated histone H3K9 (AcH3K9) patterns in human metaphase chromosomes from the lymphocytes of adults and fetuses. Materials and methods: The immunocytochemical detection of AcH3K9 in the metaphase chromosomes from PHA-stimulated peripheral lymphocytes of 13 adults and cord blood lymphocytes of 10 fetuses at 20-22 weeks of gestation. Results: Both in the chromosomes of the adults and the fetuses, AcH3K9 accumulated in the R- and T-, but not G-bands and avoided the regions of pericentromeric heterochromatin of the chromosomes 1, 9 and 16. When comparing the adult and the fetal chromosomes, different levels of AcH3K9 were revealed in a few bands: 2q31, 5p13, 5p15 and 16p13 had higher level of Н3К9 acetylation in adults, in contrast to 9q13 which was hyperacetylated in fetuses. Conclusion: The АсН3К9 distribution in metaphase chromosomes is band-specific and is similar between the adults and the fetuses, excluding a few bands with different acetylation levels.

Authors: Nazarova Elmira A. , Kiryanova Tatyana D. , Egorova Daria O.
Published: September 2019

Background. Communities of bacteria with specific enzymes are formed in the soil with long-term organochlorine contamination.
The aim of this study was to analyze the diversity of the benA gene encoding the -subunit of the benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase in aerobic bacterial associations isolated from the soils of the Chapayevsk-city (Samara region, Russia).
Materials and methods. The soil samples were taken on the territory, contaminated with organochlorine compounds for a long time. As a selection factor in the enrichment cultures were used 4-chlorobenzoic acid and chlorobenzene, in the pure cultures benzoic acid. The isolation of total DNA from bacterial associations was performed using a commercial FastDNA Spin Kit for Soil kit (USA). Amplification was performed on a MyCycler instrument (USA). Determination of the nucleotide sequence was performed on an automatic sequencer Genetic Analyzer 3500XL (USA). The search and analysis for benA gene homologs was carried out using international GenBank databases and BLAST system (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
Results. As a result of selection, 12 associations of aerobic bacteria were obtained. Fragments of the benA gene (-subunit of benzoate dioxygenase) were obtained with the total DNA of six bacterial associations selected on chlorobenzene and with the total DNA of three bacterial associations selected on 4-chlorobenzoate. Pure cultures of aerobic bacterial strains using benzoic acid as a carbon source were isolated from benA-positive associations. It was established that the amplified fragments with the DNA of the A1, A4, A5, B1, B2, B3, B4 and B6 association strains form a single phylogenetic cluster with the -subunit gene of the benzoate dioxygenase of the Pseudomonas putida strain KT2440 (level of similarity is 9698%). The amplified fragment with the DNA of strain B5-170 (association B5) forms a cluster with the gene of the -subunit of the benzoate dioxygenase of the strain Pseudomonas sp. VLB120 (93% similarity).

Published: September 2019

Background. Polymorphism analysis was done for the core genome sequences of nodule bacteria of S. meliloti species in order to identify chromosomal types and to evaluate the occurrence of accessory elements (genomic islands) in them.
Materials and methods. Chromosomal studied loci were: betBC (marker M-I) and SMc04407-SMc04881 (marker M-II) both are related to metabolic processes and stress tolerance, and 16S-23S intergenic sequences (marker M-III) to search phylogenetical distance at intraspecies level.
Results. Significant differences between the occurrence of alleles of gene-markers M-I/M-II and MIII were determined between strains related to tested the 5 typical groups and 9 subgroups of strains differing by geographical region/source (nodule, soil) of isolation, as well as by salt tolerance. Four chromosomal types were identified among tested S. meliloti native isolates and a preference occurence of one of the three islands Rm1021 in links with particular chromosomal type was shown. The significant prevalence of strains with particular chromosomal type was shown for S. meliloti populations native to centers of alfalfa diversity at the NE of Caucasus, as well as at NE of Kazakhstan (Aral sea related region), as well as in agrocenoses. Conclusion. It was predicted that strains inherited altered markers M-I/M-II may belong to divergent clonal lines occured in both centers of alfalfa diversity, while strains with altered sequences of all three markers could be a representatives of a new S. meliloti biovar(s), the formation of which is occurred much more intensively at the modern center of the introgressive hybridization of alfalfa at NE of Kazakhstan.
Analysis of epitope distribution of arabinogalactan protein-extensins in pea (Pisum Sativum) nodules of wild-type and mutants impaired in infection thread growth
Authors: Tsyganova Anna V. , Brewin Nicholas J. , Tsyganov Viktor E.
Published: September 2019

Background. During the colonization of root and nodule tissues of legumes by rhizobia, bacterial cells are immersed in a plant extracellular matrix which includes arabinogalactan protein-extensins (AGPE).
Materials and methods. Immunogold electron microscopy with monoclonal antibodies MAC204 and MAC236 was used to analyse the distribution and abundance of epitopes of AGPE in wild-type and symbiotically defective pea mutants.
Results. In the nodules of the wild-type line SGE, both AGPE epitopes were detected to the same extent in the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets. In the nodules of the mutant line SGEFix-1 (sym40), the level of labelling by MAC204 was significantly higher than with SGE in both infection threads and infection droplets, but the level of labelling by MAC236 was only increased in the infection droplets. In the mutant line SGEFix-2 (sym33-3), a relatively high level of both epitopes was observed among all analysed genotypes. The double mutant line RBT3 (sym33-3, sym40) showed an intermediate level of labelling for both epitopes in infection threads compared with the parental mutants. In SGEFix-1, an abnormal distribution of both epitopes was observed in the intercellular space matrix. The MAC204 epitope was found in the cell walls of SGEFix-1 and in the infection thread walls of SGEFix-2, whereas in RBT3 this epitope was detected in both types of walls.
Conclusions. The sym33-3 and sym40 mutations have different effects on the accumulation of AGPE epitopes recognised by MAC204 and MAC236. This indicates that both the Sym33 and the Sym40 genes affect the composition of AGPE in the matrix of infection threads and infection droplets.

Published: September 2019

Based on the materials of 23 fur-bearing animal farms of the Russia for different periods of years, a comparative assessment of the reproductive capacity of sable and mink females of standard breeds (wild type) has been carried out. It was established that during intrabreeding differentiation according to the overall color of the hair coat (almost black, black-brown, dark brown and chestnut), the lowest reproduction level is characterized by darker females of sable, which are a significant increase in the number of them, mated with male, but not given offspring (barren females). According to the results of interbreed comparisons of sables and minks, parallelism was found in the variability of the reproductive capacity of females, which is manifested in the fact that, in contrast to relatively light animals, animals that are dark in color are characterized by a greater number of barren females and low fecundity.

Authors: Ribeiro Alex Silva , Afonso Cristiane
Published: September 2019

AbstractResistance exercise has been widely recommended for elderly population, since this type of exercise induces important health benefits, especially to improve functional capacity and preserve muscle mass, thus reflecting on the quality of life of older individuals. Among the several components of the resistance exercises the selection of movements to be performed is one of the most important and must be carefully analyzed. Although there may be a wide range of options, the most important recommendations do not specifically indicate the movements that should be included and muscle groups that should be prioritized when prescribing resistance exercise for the elderly. Therefore, considering that there is a lack of information for the Physical Education professional about the topic, this study was developed to support the choices of the movements that will compose the resistance exercise program for the elderly. The study was carried out by compiling and analyzing assumptions and scientific evidences related to resistance exercises and needs of elderly individuals. In conclusion, the choice of movements should be based on the principles of kinesiology, the needs of the elderly, muscle action and exercise safety in order to obtain beneficial results for general health and attenuate possible risks.Keywords: Exercise. Aging. Physical Exertion.ResumoO exercício resistido vem sendo amplamente recomendado para população idosa, uma vez que esse tipo de exercício físico induz a importantes benefícios para saúde; sobretudo, no aprimoramento da capacidade funcional e na preservação da massa muscular, refletindo, desse modo, na qualidade de vida do indivíduo idoso. Dentre os diversos componentes dos exercícios resistidos, a seleção dos movimentos a serem executados é um dos mais importantes e deve ser cuidadosamente analisado. Embora possa existir vasta gama de opções, as principais recomendações não indicam especificamente os movimentos que devem ser incluídos e os grupos musculares que devem ser priorizados nos programas de exercícios resistidos. Portanto, considerando haver uma lacuna de informações sobre o tema, o estudo foi realizado com intuito de subsidiar a seleção dos movimentos que deverão compor os programas de exercícios resistidos para idosos. O estudo foi realizado mediante compilação e análise de pressupostos e evidências científicas referentes aos exercícios resistidos e as necessidades dos idosos. Concluiu-se que a seleção dos movimentos deve ser baseada nos princípios da cinesiologia, nas necessidades dos idosos, na ação muscular e na segurança de execução para se alcançar resultados benéficos para saúde em geral e atenuar possíveis riscos.Palavras-chave: Exercício.

PARTICULATE MATTER FORMATION DURING CO-COMBUSTION OF AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES WITH TURKISH LIGNITE USING A DROP TUBE FURNACE
Authors: KAZANÇ ÖZERİNÇ Feyza
Published: September 2019

This
study investigates the particulate matter formation during combustion of olive
residue, almond shell, and Tunçbilek lignite. Selected fuels (olive residue and
Tunçbilek lignite) were also co-fired to evaluate the influence on particulate
matter emission. Olive residue was ground to different size ranges (< 125 µm
and 212–300 µm) to investigate the influence of the particle size and blended
in different ratios of biomass / coal to analyse the interactions between
fuels. Tests were performed in a drop tube furnace at high temperature (1000
ºC), with a high heating rate (~104 ºC/s), and short residence time
(~3 s). Fuel was fed into the furnace at a low mass rate of 10 g/h using a
syringe pump. Particulate matter was collected using a 3-stage stack impactor
and categorized according to the aerodynamic diameters, PM2.5, PM2.5-10, and
PM10. The results obtained included particle burnout, and particulate matter
concentration. Particle burnout was above 95% for all studied fuels.
Particulate matter emission depended greatly on the fuel and the blend. Olive
residue presented the lowest values of PM2.5 (176 mg/g ash in fuel fed)
compared with both almond shell (214 mg/g ash in fuel fed) and Tunçbilek
lignite (286 mg/g ash in fuel fed). PM10 emission was particularly low for
olive residue (~200 mg/g ash in fuel fed), whereas almond shell and Tunçbilek
lignite showed similar values (~400 mg/g ash in fuel fed). Larger biomass particles
resulted in unchanged particulate matter emissions. Co-firing of the olive
residue with the Tunçbilek lignite resulted in lower PM2.5 (as compared to neat
olive); higher PM2.5-10 (as compared to neat lignite); and lower PM10 (as
compared to lignite). Blends of OR-TL in 25-75 ratio showed lower values of
both PM2.5 and PM10 as compared with the 50-50 blends of the same fuels.

Authors: Awale Rupali B. , Isaacs Roma , Mandrelle Kavita , Singh Shavinder
Published: September 2019

Background: Obstetric hysterectomy is done as a lifesaving procedure in very trying circumstances of life threatening severe hemorrhage. The study was undertaken with the aim to evaluate the relative frequency of hysterectomy done for obstetric indication among the hysterectomy specimens and also to assess the histopathological findings in the hysterectomy specimens.Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care center over a period of two and half years. Consecutive specimens of hysterectomy done for obstetrical indication were included. Gross and microscopic findings noted and data analysed. The study was approved by the Institute Ethical Committee.Results: Of the total hysterectomy specimens received obstetrical hysterectomy comprised only 1.3%(12/915) of all the hysterectomies. Patient’s age ranged from 20-36 years; mean 28.6 years. Parity ranged from 1 to 5; mean 2. More multiparous women 91.7%(11/12) had hysterectomies as compared to primiparous 8.3%(1/12) cases                         (p value <0.0001). All patients had single pregnancy. All (100%) patients underwent surgery through abdominal route with subtotal hysterectomy with preservation of the bilateral adnexae undertaken in most (11/12; 91.7% cases). About 5(41.6%) cases hysterectomies were performed after previous caesarean section and had abnormal placentation. Histopathological examination revealed adherent placenta in 33.4%(4/12), endometritis in 25%(3/12), rupture in 25%(3/12) and histologically unremarkable in 16.6%(2/12) cases.Conclusions: Obstetric hysterectomy is an emergency lifesaving procedure done in situations of uncontrolled post-partum hemorrhage. In recent years with more number of caesarean sections the incidence of abnormal placentation has drastically increased, thus making adherent placenta as the most common histopathological finding.

Published: September 2019

Background: Preeclampsia is the occurrence of hypertension in combination with proteinuria, developing after 20 weeks gestation in a previously normotensive non-proteinuric patient. The objective of this study was to study the prevalance of eclampsia at PGIMS, Rohtak. To study the clinical profile, maternal and perinatal outcome in eclamptic patients.Methods: This is a retrospective study and case records of all eclampsia cases were analysed from the study period of January 2018 to December 2018.Results: There were 113 cases of eclampsia out of 11,661 deliveries and prevalence of eclampsia was calculated to be 0.96%. Majority of the patients were not registered 95.57%. 58% of patients were Primigravidas. 56% of the patient in the age group of 21-25 years. Antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum eclampsia were 71%, 1.7% and 27% respectively. Caesarean section was the preferred mode of delivery and was performed in 57% cases. ICU admission was required in 25% and remaining cases were managed in general/eclampsia ward. All patients received MgSO4 by Zuspan regimen. 12% patient developed HELLP syndrome and pulmonary oedema developed in 6% patient. There were a total of 3.5% maternal deaths during the study period. Total percentage of perinatal deaths due to eclampsia was 23%.Conclusions: Eclampsia continues to be one of the prime etiological factors for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This is due to lack of proper antenatal care, low socioeconomic condition and lack of education. Regular antenatal checkup, early recognition and proper management are vital to tackle this challenge. MgSo4 is the anticonvulsant of choice and Zuspan regimen of MgSO4 is effective in the management of eclampsia.

Authors: Kansara Vijay M. , Patel Payal Sureshkumar , Desai Ajesh N.
Published: September 2019

Background: Eclampsia is one of the most common causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity in India. Amongst the principles of management of eclampsia, the first is the control of convulsions. Magnesium sulphate is the main stay of treatment in eclampsia and imminent eclampsia. Average weight of Indian women is less than the western women due to which lower dose of magnesium sulphate can be used.  The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of low dose magnesium sulphate regimen with standard Pritchard regimen in control of eclampsia.Methods: The study was carried out at emergency labour room, GMERS Sola Civil Hospital Ahmedabad. 120 patients of eclampsia were divided randomly into study group (n=60) receiving low dose MgSO4 and control group (n=60) receiving Pritchard regimen. The recurrence of convulsion, toxicity of MgSO4 and maternal and fetal outcome was studied.Results: It was observed that with low dose MgSO4 regime, convulsions were controlled in 91.7% of the cases. With standard Pritchard’s regime convulsions were controlled in 95% of patients. The maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity were comparable in both groups.Conclusions: Low dose magnesium sulphate therapy is as effective as Pritchard’s regime for controlling convulsions in eclampsia and can be safely given in Indian women.

Published: September 2019

Background: For success in IVF treatment, it is essential that the patient has a responsive endometrium together with many other factors. Inspite of numerous treatments available today for growth of endometrium, there is lack of any ideal drug or protocol for increasing endometrial thickness. The study is an attempt to evaluate the role of two drugs for increasing endometrial growth before embryos transfers.Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study including 50 patients with previously diagnosed as thin endometrium patients who may or may not have failed previous cycles of IVF. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. First group-Group A (n=25) are patients randomly selected to undergo intrauterine PRP instillation for increase in endometrial thickness before embryo transfer. Second group-Group B (n=25) are randomly selected from a retrospective cohort of thin endometrium to take injection GCSF  as intrauterine infusion (total dose 300mcg) on day of trigger or day 11 of cycle followed by 60 units subcutaneously after embryo transfer. The difference in endometrial thickness during transfer and the pregnancy outcomes were compared.Results: Injection GCSF was found to be more effective than intrauterine PRP in improving endometrial thickness in patients with thin endometrium with a p-value of <0.0001.  It was found that the chemical and clinical pregnancy rates were comparable as the p values were 0.77 and 0.37 respectively and hence statistically not significant. Although patients given injection GCSF had a slightly higher clinical pregnancy rate (44%) as compared to patients given intrauterine PRP which was 28%. All other variables were comparable.Conclusions: In the study it was proven that injection GCSF, is more effective for the treatment of thin endometrium patients as compared to intrauterine PRP infusion. Though the clinical and chemical pregnancy rates were comparable, a higher percentage of women were clinically pregnant in the group given injection GCSF.  Intrauterine PRP can also be a good alternative for thin endometrium.  More studies and RCTS are needed for comparison to prove the effectiveness of these drugs for treatment of thin endometrium.

Published: September 2019

Background: The objective of our study is to check the incidence of various congenital fetal anomalies in antenatal period by ultrasonography in a subset of population.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Radiology, Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta from November 2017 to October 2018. Total of 1323 second and third trimester pregnancies were analyzed for a period of one year. 34 fetal anomalies were detected making the prevalence of 2.5%. Information obtained from history, clinical examination and Ultrasound examination were recorded. The data was analyzed in SPSS 20.These patients were also interviewed for folic acid supplementation and consanguineous marriage.Results: 1323 patients were examined with congenital abnormalities detected in 34 fetuses. Among 34 fetuses, 20 were male and 14 were female fetuses. Out of 34, mother of 24 fetuses verified that they did not take folic acid supplementation. Consanguineous marriage recognized as the important risk factor as found in 22 congenital abnormal fetus.  CNS anomalies were the most commonly occurring anomalies with prevalence of (0.9%) followed by gastrointestinal tract anomalies (0.3%) and Urinary tract anomalies (0.3%).Conclusions: The fetus prognosis largely depends on early detection of its any congenital anomaly on antenatal ultrasound as they can result in abortions, still births and other fetal defects. So antenatal ultrasound is very important and safe method for early detection and management of fetal anomalies.

Published: September 2019

Background: Globally, the caesarean delivery rate is rising continuously, making caesarean one of the most common surgical procedures. The purpose was to analyse the determinants and maternofoetal outcomes in elective versus emergency caesarean sections in a tertiary care centre.Methods: All women, who gave birth by Caesarean deliveries done over a period of 1 year (January 2018-December 2018), were studied in Travancore Medical College in Kerala, India. Indications of caesarean, whether emergency or elective, medical morbidities, Gestational age at decision, birthweights and extended hospital stay and new-borns needed to resuscitate were looked into. The data was collected and analysed from the hospital registry.Results: Out of the 378 selected patients, 95 patients in group of elective and 283 emergency caesarean section were studied. The indications of emergency caesarean sections were failed induction, non-progression of labour, CPD, Previous caesarean in labour, foetal distress. The most frequent indicator for elective lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was patient with previous LSCS not willing for vaginal birth, followed by breech presentation and high risk pregnancy ( BOH and ART). Younger mothers, gestational age remote from term, low-birth weight, and extended hospital stay were statistically significant in mothers undergoing emergency caesarean delivery. Fever, urinary tract infections, need for maternal and neonatal ventilation, blood transfusion, scar dehiscence were more common in the emergency caesarean group.Conclusions: The antenatal morbidity, low birth weights, decision taken preterm for salvaging the baby, postoperative complications and extended stay were more in the emergency caesarean when compared to elective caesarean.

Published: September 2019

Background: The mechanism triggering the initiation of human parturition is still an enigma. At term a series of complex physiological, biochemical and physical processes cascade resulting in delivery of the fetus. This study deals exclusively with comparison of normal labour, induction of labour with prostaglandin, and with augmentation by intracervical insertion of PGE2 tablets, amniotomy and smooth muscle relaxant. Advantages and disadvantages of each of the above methods are compared with expectant management of labour. Aim of this study was to compare pros and cons of programmed labour that to with expectant management.Methods: Study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bharati Hospital and Research Centre, Pune. It was a prospective randomized clinical trial. 100 pregnant full term women, were selected for each group. At 0 hour primiprost tablet is inserted into the vagina close to the cervix. Frequency of repetition of tablet will be at three hours interval. Patient will be monitored.Results: The youngest one being of age 17 years and the eldest being of age 29 years. In this, we observed those primi and 2nd gravida patients 2-2 tablets each in latent phase and 1-1 tablets in active phase. The induction delivery Interval in primigravida was observed to be of average of 9 hours. While in II Gravida was 6.5 hours, in III Gravida 5.5 hours and in IV Gravida 4 hours.Conclusions: It has been proved beyond doubt that by programmed labour, the patient definitely can get the benefit of decrease in duration of labour.

Authors: Choudhary Suman , Jelly Prasuna , Mahala Prakash
Published: September 2019

Bicornuate uterus is a major cause of spontaneous abortion. The recurrent pregnancy loss has been reported to the range of 15% to 27%. There is different type of congenital uterine abnormalities like Bicornuate uterus, septate uterus, arcuate uterus, unicornuate uterus, didelphys uterus. It is important to consider this diagnosis in recurrent miscarriages, malpresentation, intra uterine growth restrictionand preterm deliveries. This report is about self at the age of 25-year-old pregnancy with a history of missed abortion. I was not diagnosing with a bicornuate uterus in my first pregnancy. However, I was diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus based on transvaginal ultrasound and hysterosalpingogram. A successful caesarean section was donein the 38th week of gestation. According to the results, successful outcome could be achieved with bicornuate uterus. The outcome of bicornuate uterus was successful.
Intrauterine retention of fetal bones, a cause for secondary infertility
Authors: Humane Anil , Agrawal Nikita
Published: September 2019

Secondary infertility due to retained products of conception in the form of fetal bones is a rare entity. It is usually associated with a history of abortion, either spontaneous or induced. The bony fragments probably act as an intrauterine contraceptive device to stimulate the secretion of endometrial prostaglandins, resulting in secondary infertility. The common symptoms include menstrual disturbances, pelvic pain, dyspareunia, vaginal discharge, spontaneous passage of fetal bones and infertility. Advanced diagnostic technique like hysteroscopy has helped in the diagnosis.

Hypervascular retained products of conception: dilemma of diagnosis and management
Authors: Mahajan Aakanksha , Gupta Ishan , Mishra Amrita
Published: September 2019

Retained products of conception (RPOC) are a partial retention of placental tissue after dilation and curettage (D&C) procedures or vaginal deliveries. Ultrasound scan reports sometimes mention the presence of increased endometrial / sub‐endometrial vascularity in the context of retained products of conception. This raises the possibility of serious intra‐operative haemorrhage because of the possibility of arterio‐venous malformation. The aim of this article is to discuss the diagnosis and management options of retained products of conception (RPOC) with increased vascularity where simple dilatation and curettage may lead to life threatening haemorrhage and endanger the life of the patient and to enlighten the importance of evaluation of vascularity in all cases of RPOC prior to dilatation and curettage in order to avoid the dreaded complication of massive haemorrhage.

Важной предпосылкой является гипотеза о первоочередной роли предпринимательского образования, формирующего предпринимательскую культуру и мышления, что является катализатором к созданию предпринимательской экосистемы. Предложено деление на модели обучения предпринимательству в соответствии со степенью интегрированности в основную образовательную программу при помощи анализа кейсов двух вузов. В результате было выявлено, что единство педагогических методик и моделей обучения предпринимательству отсутствует, можно говорить об эффективности тех или иных практик. Субъективная оценка студента в рамках проведенных социологических анонимных опросов в Томском государственном университете и Сибирском институте управления – филиале Российской академии народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте Российской Федерации выполняет функцию маркера степени эффективности проведенных организационно-педагогических мероприятий по обучению предпринимательству и напрямую связана с удовлетворенностью студентов уровнем развития предпринимательских компетенций.
Оценка внутренней и конкурентной среды организации в рамках функционально-средового подхода кооперационно-сетевых взаимодействий методом бенчмаркинга
Authors: Новикова Светлана Ивановна
Published: September 2019

В целях комплексной оценки функциональной среды кооперационно-сетевых взаимодействий организаций в данной статье рассматривается методика оценки качества одной из ее составляющих – конкурентной среды. Предлагаемая методика опирается на бенчмаркинг, путем сравнения средних показателей деятельности исследуемой организации с аналогичными показателями конкурентов и прочих участников кооперационной сети. Полученные сводные оценочные коэффициенты отражают качественный уровень исследуемой организации и дают оценку конкурентной среды в целом. В дальнейшем эти показатели используются при получении общей оценки всей кооперационно-сетевой организационной системы. В статье так же предложено дополнение к определению бенчмаркинга, как метода сопоставления не только отдельных конкурирующих организаций, но и сравнения в целом кооперационно-сетевых организационных систем в которых функционируют исследуемые организации.

Management of Islamic Education analysis of Pedadogic and andragogic theory departs from How Islam sees, teaches, instills and embodies his people's education in order to build independent generations through the concept of preparation and travel processes Pedagogic school, to be a total self-reliant with the concept of Perkepribadian conscious and self-reliant andragogy. From the results of the analysis, Islam, build civilization started from choosing a match (education). Subsequently, the education was directed and Dimanaj in order to print (ذرية قرة اعين), in this case, was pre, primary and secondary education. To be subsequently directed in achieving degrees (متقين), and this was achieved perfectly through undergraduate education (S-1/Bachelor's degree), even the Derjat (متقين) was further enhanced through graduate education of strata Two (S-2/Magister) and the peak was (امام) achieved with the education in strata Three (S-3/doctoral). And the highest degree (امام) is perfected with the degree of Professor in any field/profession.
Fundamentos filosóficos para a Doutrina do Ethos musical
Authors: Silva José Eduardo Costa
Published: September 2019

No presente texto, penso sobre os possíveis fundamentos filosóficos que sustentam o que é correntemente denominado Doutrina do Ethos musical. Primeiramente, demonstro que esta doutrina, que supõe relações entre música e alma, traz uma questão primordial da metafisica grega, qual seja, a questão da possibilidade de relação entre o material e o imaterial. A seguir, penso sobre a tese com a qual Platão e Aristóteles enfrentam esta questão, precisamente, a tese de que o desejo medeia a relação entre o material e o imaterial. Por fim, sintetizando a reflexão precedente, penso a música como uma estrutura do desejo, onde o material e o imaterial aparentemente se conectam. A título de exemplo, elaboro uma breve apreciação da canção Construção, de Chico Buarque de Hollanda.
8. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN YAZILI ANLATIM BECERİLERİNDE YER VERDİĞİ ANLATIM TEKNİKLERİ İLE DÜŞÜNCEYİ GELİŞTİRME YOLLARI

Published: September 2019

Anlatım teknikleri ile düşünceyi geliştirme yolları yazılı anlatımın niteliğini ve başarısını doğrudan etkileyen unsurlar arasındadır. Bu çalışma 8. sınıf öğrencilerinin yazılı anlatım becerilerinde tercih ettiği anlatım teknikleri ile düşünceyi geliştirme yollarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma tarama modelinde betimsel bir çalışmadır.

Veriler 2016-2017 Eğitim Öğretim Yılı içinde Aydın ili Efeler ilçesinde MEB’e bağlı ortaokullarda okuyan 328 öğrencinin yazılı dokümanlarından elde edilmiştir. Bulgular tablolarda gösterilmiş, verilerin analizinde sıklık oranları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bir ders saatiyle (40 dakika) ve düz yazı metinleri ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Serbest ve yaratıcı yazma yöntemleri ile elde edilen verilerin 142 tanesi olay yazısı 186’sı ise düşünce yazısıdır. Yazılı dokümanlar anlatım teknikleri bakımından dört temel unsura, düşünceyi geliştirme yolları bakımından ise 15 anlatım yoluna göre incelenmiştir. Düşünceyi geliştirme yolları öğrencilerin çalışmalarında yer verdiği uygulamalar çerçevesinde belirlenmiştir.

Araştırma sonucunda tür sınıflaması yapılmaksızın yazılı anlatım becerilerinde en çok kullanılan tekniğin öyküleyici anlatım, düşünceyi geliştirme yolunun ise görsellerden yararlanma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşın en az kullanılan teknik tartışma; düşünceyi geliştirme ise sözel bilimsel ifadelerden yararlanmadır.
A ‘Giant Microfossil’ from the Gunflint Chert and its Implications for Fungal and Eukaryote Origins
Authors: McMenamin Mark A. S. , Curtis-Hill Aurora , Rabinow Sophie , Martin Kalyndi , Treloar Destiny
Published: September 2019

We report here a giant microfossil resembling the conidium of an ascomycete fungus (cf. Alternaria alternata). The specimen is preserved in stromatolitic black chert of the Gunflint Iron Formation (Paleoproterozoic Eon, Orosirian Period, ca. 1.9-2.0 Ga) of southern Ontario, Canada, and the rock that provided the thin section may have been collected by Elso Barghoorn as part of the original discovery of the Gunflint microbiota. The large size of the fossil sets it apart from other, tiny by comparison, Gunflint microfossils. The fossil is 200 microns in length and has cross walls. Individual cells are 30-46 microns in greatest dimension. The apical ‘spore’ is cap-shaped, and has partly separated from the rest of the structure. Cloulicaria gunflintensis gen. nov. sp. nov. may provide early evidence for eukaryotes (fungi) in the fossil record, and may also represent the earliest evidence for asexual reproduction in a eukaryote by means of mitospores.
Sequential MCR via Staudinger/aza-Wittig versus Cycloaddition Reaction to Access Diversely Functionalized 1-amino-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thiones

A Multicomponent Reaction (MCR) strategy, alternative to the known cycloaddition reaction, towards variously substituted 1-amino-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione derivatives has been successfully developed. The novel approach involves α-halohydrazones whose azidation process followed by tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction with CS2 in a sequential MCR regioselectively leads to the target compounds avoiding the formation of the regioisomer iminothiazoline heterocycle. The approach can be applied to a range of differently substituted α-halohydrazones bearing also electron-withdrawing groups confirming the wide scope and the substituent tolerance of the process for the synthesis of the target compounds. Interestingly, the concurrent presence of reactive functionalities in the scaffolds so obtained, ensures postmodifications in view of N-bridgedheaded heterobicyclic structures.
