Cytokine system in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus non-infected with SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Savchuk K. S. , Simbirtsev A. S.
Published: September 2022

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic non-communicable disease, being the most significant comorbidity in SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. The proportion of DM patients among those with COVID-19 is up to 25.0% in the Russian Federation. In presence of DM, clinical course of COVID-19 is characterized by greater severity and persistence of pulmonary damage, an increased need for immunosuppressive, glucocorticoid and combined antiviral therapy in COVID-19 patients, and with prolonged rehabilitation period. Pathogenetic effects of DM on severe course of the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection are being actively studied. The following factors were considered, e.g., negative impact of hyperglycemia on the course of infection; direct cytotoxic and indirect damage to pancreatic -cells with further activation of pro-inflammatory mechanisms; cumulation and progression of generalized inflammation common to DM and COVID-19 including impaired production of cytokines; influence of SARS-CoV-2 virus on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system causing inhibition of insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance. Chronic inflammation and impaired immune response may be among the main mechanisms of association between type 2 DM (T2DM) and COVID-19. It is important to identify systemic inflammatory disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes, which may be associated with greater disease severity, being of negative prognostic value. The aim of the present work was to investigate concentrations of some serum cytokines in the patients with type 2 diabetes not infected with SARS-CoV-2.

The study included 20 patients with type 2 diabetes; the control group consisted of 11 clinically healthy volunteers. The serum concentration of 13 cytokines was assessed by multiplex analysis on a MAGPIX-100 immunoanalyzer using a Merck multiplex analysis kit (Germany), in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

Increased serum concentrations in T2DM patients were found, as compared with the control group for some key pro-inflammatory cytokines: CX3CL1, TNF, IFN, IL-8, IL-17A, MIP-1, and MIP-1. We have also revealed a decrease in serum concentrations of IL-4. Serum immunoregulatory cytokines in the T2DM were found to be changed in different directions: a decrease in IL-5, along with increase of IL-12p70 and IL- 17, whereas the serum contents of IL-2, IL-13 did not change.

A comprehensive analysis of serum cytokine concentrations may increase clinical significance of assessing serum cytokine concentrations as prognostic and diagnostic markers, as well as therapeutic targets in type 2 DM, like as in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Morphological and functional characteristics of LPS-stimulated microglial cells under the action of orexin A
Authors: Synchikova A. P. , Korneva E. A.
Published: September 2022

Interest to the orexin-containing neurons is caused by their recent discovery and perspectives of their usage for treatment of different diseases. The studies in this area were launched recently and are of special interest since the opportunity of modulating functional activity of the brain immune system is of pivotal significance for therapy of various central nervous system (CNS) disorders providing novel ways of search and promising data on therapeutic effects of orexins in inflammatory, autoimmune diseases as well as malignant tumors.

Some data from literature show that orexins may exert therapeutic effects in different disorders caused by altered neuroimmune interactions. Participation of this neuromediator system is shown in pathogenesis of narcolepsia, obesity, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer disease, intestinal disorders, septic shock and cancer, due to involvement of orexins in functional regulation of various components of immune syste, e.g., microglial cell populations. Despite only scarce data on these effects, some experimental results obtained over last years, add to our understanding of orexin effects upon functional activity of the brain immune system.

A number of previous studies allowed to assess the orexin effects on morpho-functional features of microglial cells activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), thus presenting a prospective for development of novel approaches to therapy of infectious, inflammatory, neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders affecting CNS. In the present study, we aimed for detecting the effects of neuromediator orexin A upon functional traits of of microglial cells activated by LPS (M1 phenotype) as evaluated by changes of their size and length of their processes, as well as density of cell distribution.

We have studied the changes of microglia cell numbers following intraperitoneal LPS injection. It was shown that, the LPS causes higher activation degree of these cells, i.e., the contents of microglial cells becomes increased in somatosensory area of the brain cortex. A series of these studies allowed us to demonstrate that intracerebroventricular injection of orexin A in animals following LPS injection does not cause detectable changes of the processes initiated by LPS. The comparative analysis did not detect any changes in length of microglial processes localized in somatosensory or motor cortical areas, and corpus striatum. Other parameters of the microglial cell activation will be studied in future.

Published: September 2022

Multiple effects of ozone are a prerequisite for its use in the complex therapy of inflammatory bowel diseases. Our aim was to analyze the effects of ozone and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in oxazolone-induced colitis (OIC) upon the innate immunity functions.

OIC was modeled in 72 male Wistar rats weighing 24020 g by a two-stage application of oxazolone solution. Ozone at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg, as a part of ozone-oxygen mixture, was injected intraperitoneally every 24 hours. The laboratory indices were studied on the days 2, 4, 6. In blood samples, the number of leukocytes, differential leukocyte counts, absorptive capacity of blood neutrophils and their oxygen-dependent metabolism were studied. In homogenate of the colon mucosa, IL-17 concentration was measured.

In OIC, on days 2, 4, and 6, the number of blood leukocytes was increased, with a predominance of lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils and their absorption capacity; the concentration of IL-17 increased in the areas of colonic damage. On days 2 and 4, the activity and intensity of the spontaneous NBT test is increased like as activity and intensity of induced NBT-test on days 2 and 6. Administration of ozone reduced the content of blood leukocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils on days 2 and 6, like as their absorption capacity on days 2 and 4, along with a decrease in NCT-reducing ability on days 6, and decreased IL-17 concentration in the area of colonic damage on days 4 and 6. The effects of ozone administration in OIC, if compared with 5-ASA, are less pronounced on days 2 and 4, with respect to decreased number of monocytes, neutrophils in blood and their absorption capacity on days 2, like as IL-17 concentration in the area of colonic damage on days 4 and 6.

Diplomatic Shuttles as An Economic Revival Architecture: An Interrogation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Foreign Policy
Authors: Mercy OSO Oluwafunto
Published: September 2022

States are propelled by certain interests in their external relations, thus shaping their patterns of behavior in the international system. Those interests, also known as national interests, are encoded in their foreign policy. Therefore, as interest varies among states, so also are the approaches adopted by individual state leaders in the pursuit and realization of such interest. This reality has been noted in Nigeria’s foreign policy under President Buhari since 2015. A major feature of his foreign policy is the penchant for foreign trips (diplomatic shuttles), as a tool for promoting bilateral and multilateral bargaining in interstate relations. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the nature, contents, and, viability of Nigeria’s external relations under President Buhari in the context of its many diplomatic shuttles. The paper adopts neo-classical realism as its theoretical framework. Data were collected through secondary sources such as journals, magazines, and reports. The paper observes amongst others that the diplomatic shuttles rekindled international business engagements in Nigeria by attracting an inflow of Foreign Direct Investments, infrastructural development, and, promoting trade and bilateral relations. However, there is more to be done in addressing some of the domestic challenges that government aims to address. This paper, therefore, recommends redirection of the country’s priority towards addressing the critical issue of infrastructure as an internal dynamic that can substantially strengthen the country’s foreign policy architecture and emplace the country in a vantage position for more robust international engagements

In this study, we were able to create highly dispersed silica nanoparticles with diameters of less than one nm by changing the sol-gel technique. During the poly-condensation process, a strong magnetic field was applied to the silica sol to control particle size. The size of silica nanoparticles has a substantial impact on preparation elements such pH, magnetic field intensity, and exposure time. These parameters can be changed in a systematic manner to reduce or increase particle size. A dynamic light scattering test was also used to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on the particle size and dispersion of silica dust. Despite the fact that silica is naturally diamagnetic, the magnetic field has a considerable impact on their size growth. Magnetic fields altered the typical influence on silicon structure, resulting in crystal formation in the silicon sample under consideration. Many applications require small particle sizes and/or a narrow particle size dispersion. The building blocks of nanotechnology are usually made of low-dimension particles. The experts concluded that additional research into such strange phenomena will be required in the future.
Utilitarianism within today’s discourse of culture and philosophy

Published: September 2022

The ambivalence of utilitarianism is analyzed by the author within the discourse of culture and philosophy. The positive aspect of this theory is to be found in its ability both to stimulate collectively productive creativity and to act as an effective means of reproducing todays culture. The negative aspect of utilitarianism is to be found in the subjectively pragmatic interpretation of usefulness as a value, which opens up unlimited opportunities to manipulate a persons perceptions of value.
Russian sacred style in the miniatures of the illuminated chronicles of Ivan the Terrible
Authors: Vishnya Igor B.
Published: September 2022

The Illuminated Chronicles of Ivan the Terrible is a unique artifact of both Russias and world art cultures. This documentary monument contains ten volumes (totally ten thousand pages) of handwritten texts with almost eighteen thousand miniatures. The author proves that the structure, composition and manner of the illustrations in this collection tend to express such metaphysical principles of the Russian civilization as versatility, conciliarity and disengagement. Both special features and originality of the Russian sacred style of the book miniatures were being formed as a result of the dialogue between the Western and Byzantine aesthetic traditions.

Can unlisted firms benefit from market information? A data-driven approach
Authors: Bitetto Alessandro , Filomeni Stefano , Modina Michele
Published: September 2022

We employ a sample of 10,136 Italian micro-, small-, and mid-sized enterprises (MSMEs) that borrow from 113 cooperative banks to examine whether market pricing of public firms adds additional information to accounting measures in predicting default of private firms. Specifically, we first match the asset prices of listed firms following a data-driven clustering by means of Neural Networks Autoencoder so to evaluate the firm-wise probability of default (PD) of MSMEs. Then, we adopt three statistical techniques, namely linear models, multivariate adaptive regression spline, and random forest to assess the performance of the models and to explain the relevance of each predictor. Our results provide novel evidence that market information represents a crucial indicator in predicting corporate default of unlisted firms. Indeed, we show a significant improvement of the model performance, both on class-specific (F1-score for defaulted class) and overall metrics (AUC) when using market information in credit risk assessment, in addition to accounting information. Moreover, by taking advantage of global and local variable importance technique we prove that the increase in performance is effectively attributable to market information, highlighting its relevant effect in predicting corporate default.

Authors: Kreicbergs Toms , Ščeulovs Deniss
Published: September 2022

The aim of the research is to explore young audiences such as Generation Z’s and millennials’ opinions on traditional and modern masculinity in advertising. The researchers used the YouTube platform for opinion mining on several advertisements selected to find out what themes emerge from these discourses. By using Nvivo 11 qualitative data analysis software researchers conducted qualitative content analysis, sentiment analysis, and discourse analysis. The results showed that masculinity in advertising gets a lot of Gen Zers’ and millennials’ attention while the product discourse does not get any noteworthy importance in the discussions about the advertisements. In addition, the research found that when commenting on the advertisements consumers take into consideration the entire context of masculinity and the contemporary notions of it in society, media, popular culture, and competitor’s advertisements. The study also concluded that that consumers are more emotionally expressive and opinionated when viewing modern masculinity advertisements than traditional.

The current topics of e-commerce studies in Latvia are examined and basic directions of research are highlighted. The key trends of e-commerce development processes in the country are analyzed, based on the study of the main characteristics and preferences of e-costumers. The main problems in the development of e-commerce in Latvia and further steps to address them are substantiated. The aim of this article is to investigate trends in Internet commerce in Latvia on the basis of the characteristics of e-customers and to determine the future prospects and ways in which Latvian businesses can take advantage of the opportunities offered by the Internet. Based on the research results, author can note that there is significant e-commerce development potential in Latvia and, in particular, by local businesses, which, however, is practically not used nowadays. Most Latvian businesses have not yet adapted to new aspects. At the same time, users in the country are increasingly active in online shopping. Thus, there is a need for active development of e-commerce in Latvia, which requires further research into the reasons holding companies back from entering the online segment and identifying incentives for its activation.
Implementing sentiment analysis to an open-ended questionnaire: Case study of digitalization in elderly care during COVID-19
Authors: Toivanen Ida , Räsänen Venla , Lindroos Jari , Oinas Tomi , Taipale Sakari
Published: September 2022

The rise of technology has enabled us to utilize even more integrated systems for social and health care, but these systems are often complex and time-consuming to learn for the end users without relevant training or experience. We aim to perform sentiment analysis based on the answers of eldercare workers that have taken a survey about the effects of digitalization in their work. The collecting of the panel survey data was done in two waves: in 2019 and 2021. For the sentiment analysis we compare these two waves to determine the effects of COVID-19 in the work of caretakers. The research questions we ask are the following: “Has technology affected care workers’ emotions in their work and how?" and “Has COVID-19 affected care workers’ views on digitalization in their work?”. The main results suggest that criticism of modern technology persists through time - that is, before and after the pandemic the same type of negative and positive sentiments are manifested in the results. However, there is an exception of COVID-related terminology that is only visible in the latter part (year 2021) of the analysis.

Quantitative tools in urban morphology: combining space syntax, spacematrix and mixed-use index in a GIS framework
Authors: Ye Yu , Nes Akkelies van Nes
Published: September 2022

A spatial modelling method is presented that utilizes a Geographical Information System (GIS) to combine the analyses of three constituent elements of urban form recognized by M. R. G. Conzen. The aim is to produce a spatial classification system for various types of urban areas, and reveal how they perform socio-economically. In the proposed method, space syntax, spacematrix, and mixed-use index (MXI) are used to assess street-network integration, building density, and land-use mixture. These elements are incorporated into a single framework. The validity of the method is initially tested through human behaviour records based on Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking. The method is then used in a comparison of the various spatial parameters of three new towns and one old town in the Netherlands. The results show that the old town has higher values of streetnetwork integration, building density, and land-use mixture than the new towns. The method functions well as a diagnostic tool for suggesting ways of improving socio-economic performance in urban areas. For example a spatial diagnosis can be made for new towns suffering from a lack of vibrant street life. The method helps to reveal the interdependences of street-network integration, building density, and land-use mixture in urban transformation processes.

Authors:   BSSS Institute of Advanced Studies, Bhopal, Puntambekar Aditya , Geetey Uppal Dr. Ananta
Published: September 2022

There is an increasing body of research that demonstrates which methods of human resource management contribute to high performance and which methods lead to high commitment, in addition to numerous assessments of the success of real organisations. It is not quite apparent, however, whether or not this relationship really does exist. This line of inquiry highlights the need of enhancing both our theoretical and analytic frameworks so that we can provide a plausible explanation for the existence of this link. The primary aspects of human resource management are the characteristics and behaviour of organisational performance, the connection between HRM and performance, the prudent use of selected lists of HR practices, and the consideration given to HR-related relationships. A model is offered in order to facilitate a deeper comprehension of these interrelationships. We take a broad look at the existing research on human resource management (HRM) and performance as part of our study. Our goal is to pinpoint any areas in which our knowledge is lacking and to use this information to direct future research.
CAPAS MEDIAS EN AMERICA LATINA: EL CAMBIO EN UN SIGLO. ALGUNAS NOTAS
Authors: Cueva Perus Marcos
Published: September 2022

Partiendo de que el estudio de las clases medias en América Latina no puede separarse de las formas de propiedad y un contexto relacional, este estudio considera que se puede rastrear una evolución de dichas capas entre el siglo XX y principios del XXI que las va separando de la sombra de la clase terrateniente para hacerlas entrar en la del empresariado estadounidense, con excepciones como México, donde se ven llevadas a raíz de la Revolución a cumplir por sí mismas el papel de intermediarias. Para este rastreo partimos tanto de estudios menos recientes y otros muy actuales que permiten caracterizar a estas capas, que son heterogéneas y no tienen en esta medida un comportamiento político unificado: pueden buscar hacerse cargo de gobernar e incluso con gobiernos progresistas de crear clientes solventes para el consumo transnacionalizado, como pueden aliarse con terratenientes reconvertidos en la actualidad al agronegocio capitalista.
