Highlights

The study involves experiments with titanium substrates with various composite coatings. The aim of the study was to assess different methods of diagnostics of artificial implant materials and evaluate the effect of coatings on osteogenic differentiation in interstitial cells of the human aortic valve.

 

Background. Currently, the only medical treatment for aortic stenosis is aortic valve replacement. At the same time, calcific aortic stenosis is the third most prevalent cardiovascular disease that affects up to 10% of the population by the age of 80. In this regard, it is important to develop materials for aortic valve prostheses that would be highly biocompatible, chemically stable, non-thrombogenic, non-immunogenic and non-osteogenic.

Aim. To assess the impact of composite coatings of titanium bases on osteogenic differentiation of valve`s interstitial cells and to analyze the methods of express diagnostics of artificial implant materials.

Methods. The study examined titanium samples with three different coatings. The interstitial cells of the aortic valve were cultured on the studied materials. Using the PCR-RT method, the level of changes in the expression of osteogenic markers RUNX2, COL1a1, ALP under the influence of osteogenic stimuli was analyzed. To determine the level of calcification in cells, we stained the samples with alizarin red and conducted spectrophotometric analysis. Several RNA isolation methods were evaluated.

Results. The most optimal RNA isolation method involves the use of a poly(A) tails. Moreover, we developed a protocol for the absorption of calcium from composite materials. We noted multidirectional changes in the expression of RUNX2, ALP, and COL1A1 genes in cells cultured on coated titanium samples compared to controls. The intensity of expression differed depending on the type of coatings; these data correlated with the intensity of staining with alizarin. Thus, different types of coatings affect the processes of osteogenic differentiation in cells in different ways.

Conclusion. The duration of express diagnostics was 21 days and included the study of gene expression of osteodifferentiation markers at a time point of 96 hours and staining with alizarin red on day 21 from the start of osteodifferentiation. It has been established that polymer coatings affect osteogenic differentiation, however, all the studied coatings cannot be recommended for valve prostheses, it is advisable to use them to enhance osteogenic processes.
CHANGES IN THE NUMBER OF CORONARY BYPASS SURGERY IN SOME REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN 2019–2021
Authors: Semenov Vladimir Yu. , Kovalenko Oleg A.
Published: October 2024

Highlights

The number of coronary bypass surgeries in the Russian Federation in 2021 has remained below the 2019 indicator.

The highest territorial accessibility of open-heart surgery is noted in the Volga Federal District.

There number of open-heart surgeries performed does not depend on the capacity of the medical organization.

 

Aim. To study the changes in the number and outcomes of coronary artery bypass surgeries in the Russian Federation during 2019–2021 on the example of the Central, Volga and North Caucasus Federal Districts.

Methods. We used data from the following sources: official statistics published by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (Statistics Form No. 14); data published by Federal State Statistics Service; data on patients from “A.N. Bakulev National Research Center for Cardiovascular Surgery”; official statistics published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development; and the available literature data. Taking into account the demographic characteristics of the regions, we calculated the number of surgeries per 100.000 citizens.

Results. The total number of CABG decreased by 18.7% in 2020 (from 9 739 in 2019 tо 7918 in 2020) in the studied subjects of the Russian Federation. There was an increase in the number of direct myocardial revascularization in 2021 by 8,6% compared to 2020. However, this index was still 11.7% lower as compared to 2019. The number of CABG per 100,000 population in the regions was 24,6 ± 18,6; 21,0 ± 16,2 and 22,9 ± 17,8 in these years, respectively. At the same time, it should be noted that the decrease in the number of open-heart surgeries did not depend on the capacity of medical organization. The analysis also showed that in 2020, the average mortality rate during CABG increased by 5.6% compared to 2019 (from 1.8 ± 1.5 to 1.9 ± 1.6).

Conclusions. In 2020, the number of planned coronary artery bypass surgeries in the Central, Volga and North Caucasus Federal Districts of the Russian Federation decreased by 18,7% on average compared to 2019 with a slight positive trend in subsequent years. One of the most likely reasons is coronavirus disease pandemic.
Improvements and Heterogeneities of the Global Centroid Moment Tensor Catalog
Authors: González Álvaro
Published: October 2024

Earthquake catalogs are heterogeneous, especially those developed over long time spans. Changes in seismological monitoring, which provides the records on which these catalogs are based, are common. Typically, instruments and networks become more sensitive over time, allowing for the detection and characterization of smaller earthquakes. In pursuit of improvement, new methods for routine data analysis are occasionally introduced, modifying the procedures for catalog compilation. The resulting heterogeneities may not be evident to users, but they should be unveiled and considered in any application of the catalog, especially in statistical seismology, which analyzes large earthquake data sets. The Global Centroid Moment Tensor catalog is considered the most homogeneous database of global seismicity. However, a detailed analysis of its heterogeneities has been lacking. This work reviews changes in the catalog’s development from 1976 to 2023 and reveals how these have caused improvements and heterogeneities in the resulting data. Several periods are distinguished, separated by milestones in the methods employed for moment tensor inversion and catalog compilation, as well as by the advent of global broadband monitoring in 2004. These changes are shown to have caused variations in the catalog’s completeness and in the determinations of centroid depths, scalar seismic moments, and moment tensors. The magnitude of completeness is measured here in detail, both temporally and spatially. It has decreased over the years and shows spatial variations within each period, correlated to regional differences in network monitoring and compilation biases. Moment tensor determinations have been significantly different since 2004, resulting in a different frequency distribution of rake angles and a different dependence of the double-couple component as a function of rake. This work is expected to benefit all future uses of the catalog, enabling better characterization of seismicity properties and improved building and testing of models for earthquake occurrence.
Patient Adherence and Duration of Continuous Treatment With Various Arbs in Patients With Uncomplicated Arterial Hypertension in the USA Based on The Analysis of the Truven Health Analytics MarketScan Database

Aim. To discuss two aspects that can be used to improve the adherence to therapy in patients with arterial hypertension (AH): 1) which of the angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) provides the highest adherence rates; 2) how various factors influence adherence rates.

Material and methods. An analysis of one of the world's largest clinical practice databases, Truven Health Analytics MarketScan (currently Merative MarketScan), was performed. The analysis included data on patients of both sexes aged 30 to 65 years who had been diagnosed with uncomplicated AH (at least once between March 1, 2012 and January 1, 2018) and prescribed monotherapy with one of ARBs. The exclusion criteria were heart failure and the treatment with two or more ARBs (simultaneously or sequentially) during the treatment period. Ultimately, the study included 717,099 patients with uncomplicated AH, who were divided into four groups based on the prescribed drug: azilsartan (n=4276), candesartan (n=6023), losartan (n=586,857), and valsartan (n=119,943). Adherence to treatment was evaluated by two parameters: duration of continuous therapy and medication possession ratio (MPR). The individual effect of each factor (specific ARB used for therapy, patient gender, age, initial ARB dose, patient co-payment per day of treatment) on the adherence to treatment was assessed using a regression analysis.

Results. The adherence to the ARB therapy was generally high. The MPR was the lowest in the azilsartan group and the highest in the candesartan group. However, the parameters that potentially influenced both the MPR and the duration of continuous therapy (patient’s gender and age, initial ARB dose, co-payment size) differed significantly between the groups receiving different ARBs. The regression analysis showed that both adherence parameters and the duration of continuous therapy were higher in patients receiving candesartan than in patients receiving azilsartan, losartan or valsartan, when the effect on the adherence of other factors available for study (age, gender, initial dose of the drug, and the absolute size of co-payment for a day of therapy) was excluded. The lowest adherence to therapy was observed in the azilsartan treatment group (p<0.01).

Conclusion. The study provided data for comparing the adherence of patients with uncomplicated AH to the therapy with different ARBs. Further study of adherence to treatment will provide additional data that will allow an optimal selection of drugs for the treatment of AH in patients with potentially poor adherence.
Educação a Distância e o Curso de Educação Física: Desafios dos Discentes para com a Prática
Authors: Baumgärtner Lucas Vitor
Published: October 2024

Com o passar do tempo, a internet tem ganhado cada vez mais espaço no mundo, não sendo diferente para o meio educacional. Atualmente, os cursos de EAD combinam várias TIC para o discente poder estudar. No currículo do curso de Educação Física licenciatura e bacharelado, existe uma proporção altíssima de demanda prática (derivado de estágios obrigatórios, disciplinas específicas como: natação, futebol, voleibol, anatomia humana, jogos e brincadeiras, danças, lutas etc.), sendo dificultosa e menos exitosa aplicando-se em uma modalidade EAD ou híbrida (semi-presencial). Sendo assim, este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as possíveis implicações que a falta de prática pedagógica traz para os discentes do curso de Educação Física licenciatura e bacharelado na modalidade EAD. A pesquisa classifica-se em sua abordagem como qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, com objetivo exploratório por meio de uma pesquisa de campo. Utilizou-se um questionário aberto e fechado como instrumento para geração dos dados. Como resultados, podemos ressaltar que a falta de prática pedagógica e a falta de carga horária presencial afeta diretamente o rendimento futuro no campo de atuação profissional destes sujeitos. E, o que faz um aluno optar pelo EAD ao invés do presencial é diretamente a relação entre tempo e dinheiro, ou melhor, valor acessível e tempo variável.

Authors: Mudrika Siti , Suharjo Diyono , Deni Deni , Wiadi Iyus
Published: October 2024

Sustainability is an issue that must be paid attention to by various sectors of life, including the marketing sector, which is mentioned as Green marketing. This research wants to explore the role of green marketing in customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as its role in environmental awareness. Reflecting on previous research, this research uses quantitative descriptive by distributing structured questionnaires, with non-probability purposive sampling with a total of 206 respondents in the capital area, with the category being consumers of FMCG products. This research offers a novelty on how green marketing influences environmental and social concerns. Most research on green marketing was conducted in developed countries, but this research was conducted in developing countries in Indonesia. The findings show that Green Marketing significantly influences consumers in terms of satisfaction and loyalty variables, and has a significant effect on social responsibility and environmental safety, moreover, it influences on product innovation and development. This study seeks to unravel the intricacies of how eco-conscious marketing strategies affect not only consumer contentment but also the environment. This conscious consumer behaviour, particularly among FMCG consumers in Indonesia, underscores the significance of these green aspects in shaping their satisfaction and fostering loyalty, despite potential price increases. Companies must prioritize eco-friendly product development, emphasize sustainability, and effectively communicate their green initiatives to succeed in this landscape. It's evident that consumers today no longer base their purchases solely on personal needs but consider the broader environmental and social impacts, urging marketers to embrace sustainability and responsible practices in their strategies.

The Possibility of Converting Punishments in the Islamic Penal System
Authors: Tahmasabi Ali Ashraf , Sarikfani Adel , Sarikhani Zahra
Published: October 2024

The full implementation of Islamic limits and punishments depends on the readiness of suitable grounds and conditions in the Islamic society, such as the formation of an Islamic government and the formation of social, political, economic, legal, judicial and penal systems and the absence of domestic and international obstacles. The permissibility of the execution of Hudud in the Age of Absence by the jurist Jame al-Sharai't does not mean insisting on the constant and unquestioning implementation of these punishments in all times and places; Rather, if the background and social conditions necessary for the implementation of Hudud punishments are not favorable, due to the mal effects that is created by their execution, it will be converted into proportionate punitive punishments as a secondary sentence. Like the verdict of stoning and apostasy, which cannot be implemented in the current conditions of the society. The change and conversion of maximum punishments will be done in three axes, firstly: change in the execution method, such as changing stoning to execution. Secondly: Substitution of lesser punishments, instead of maximum punishments, such as reducing one hundred lashes to less than that; Thirdly: Converting a limit punishment to a taziri punishment, such as turning amputation into imprisonment.It seems that the maximum punishments in the above three axes can be converted into proportionate punishments.
Study of the Compensability of Damages Caused by Loss of Profit In Hanafi Jurisprudence and Afghanistan Law
Authors: Ghanavaty Jalil , Qasemi Abdulkhaleq
Published: October 2024

This article studies the compensability of damages caused by loss of profit in the field of Hanafi jurisprudence and Afghan law. The damage caused to the victim is included in the damage caused by the loss of profit and the causer of the damage is obliged to compensate it. However, Hanafi jurists do not consider the damage caused by the loss of profit to be a guarantee and do not consider the cause of the damage to be compensated for. Therefore, the question is what are the base, reasons, and documentation of this point of view in Hanafi jurisprudence? And why can't the loss of profit be compensated? The findings of this research show that the non-compensability of damages caused by the loss of profit in Hanafi jurisprudence is rooted in profit, the definition of property and non-taxability of benefits from the point of view of Hanafi jurisprudence, and Afghan law does not follow Hanafi jurisprudence in this regard. The damage caused by the lack of profit is compensable, regardless of whether the damage is caused by a breach of contract or an illegal act.

Published: October 2024

This study examines how to build individual employee commitment to organizations through organizational culture and transformative leadership. The purpose of the research is to conduct an in-depth study of organizations in the public sector, to further demonstrate how corporate culture and leadership styles affect organizational commitment. Quantitative methods were used to demonstrate how exogenous factors affect endogenous variables in the population and sample in government organizations. The SEM Amos analysis technique was used to analyse data from the sample of 184 central government employees and test the effect of external factors on internal factors. Findings show that transformative leadership and organizational culture both partially and simultaneously impact the increase in individual commitment to the organization. This means that when organizational culture is built by implementing a transformational leadership model, it has the potential to strengthen workers’ loyalty to the company.

Corporate Governance and Dividend Policy in Indonesia
Authors: Raharjo Kharis , Chandrarin Grahita , ‎ Harmono
Published: October 2024

Corporate governance and dividends go hand in hand. But are dividends an outcome of, a supplement to, or a substitute for governance practices? That is, high dividends show that the mechanisms for decent returns to investors are in place, and governance is a set of mechanisms for that. Examining the findings and competing models of dividend-corporate-governance relationships is the overarching goal of this research. Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021, the sample company is a manufacturer. Control variables include size, beta, return on investment (ROI), and corporate governance proxies such as the governance index score and dividend policy proxies such as the dividend payout ratio (DPR). The method of data collection involves accessing the IDX web for financial and annual reports of manufacturing companies. Data analysis procedures are based on panel regression analysis. According to the outcome model, there is a positive correlation between corporate governance and dividends during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a negative correlation between governance and dividends. Dividends are a result of internal and external processes meant to safeguard the interests of minority shareholders, proving that governance at the firm and national levels is crucial in determining the nature of investor protection.

A Comprehensive Exploration of the Gender Pay Gap in Portugal's Informal Economies
Authors: Prabowo Bambang Hadi , Rusminingsih Diah , Bawono Suryaning , Ratnasari Ike
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the gender pay gap within Portugal’s informal economies, analyzing data spanning the years 2005 to 2020 using Vector Error Correction Models (VECM). The study focuses on four key variables: employers (total), wage and salaried workers (female), wage and salaried workers (male), and educational attainment by way of completing a minimum of upper secondary schooling among a population of age 25+. The findings reveal nuanced relationships among these variables: educational attainment (EA) positively impacts the total number of employers within Portugal’s informal economies. A significant correlation exists between EA and wage and salaried workers (female), albeit with complex dynamics. Similarly, EA correlates with wage and salaried workers (male), though the influence is less pronounced. EA also demonstrates a significant association with educational attainment through completing upper secondary schooling among a population of age 25+. These results underscore the multifaceted nature of the gender pay gap within informal economies, influenced by a variety of factors beyond education. Policymakers and stakeholders should consider these findings when designing strategies to promote gender equality in this critical sector, recognizing the need for comprehensive and context-specific approaches. Further research is encouraged to deepen our understanding of this issue and inform evidence-based interventions.

Intra-Annual Dynamics of the Chemical Composition of Water at the Mouth of the Baksan River
Authors: Shamarina Marina A.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of a study of the intra-annual dynamics of the chemical composition of water at the mouth of the Baksan River in 2023. The intra-annual dynamics of transparency, pH, mineralization, hardness, permanganate oxidizability, content of macrocomponents (bicarbonates, chlorides, sulfates, nitrites, nitrates) and iron compounds were studied. According to average annual values, the water of the studied object has average hardness and belongs to the hydrocarbonate, fresh waters of rivers of average mineralization. An excess of the maximum permissible concentration for sulfates, nitrates and iron compounds was detected. It is shown that the hydrochemical regime of the studied water body is interconnected with level and thermal regimes and is influenced by anthropogenic factors. The data obtained are necessary to identify patterns of distribution of substances in natural geosystems located in the Malka River basin, of which the Baksan River is a first-order tributary.

The phenomenon of siltation of dams causes in Algeria a vital problem which annually loses a considerable volume of water storage.The objective of this study the valorization of calcined sediment from the Fergoug dam (western Algeria) in normal concrete exposed at 800 °C. Moreover, the sediments were calcination-treated at 750°C for 5 hours tomakeitactive. The different mixtures were prepared with 0%, 8%, 12% and 16% of  sediment by partial substitution of  cement , as well as of polypropylene fiber volume of 0.05% and 0.1%. All mixes  were investigated on compressive strength and flexural strength at 90 days with different heating cooling cycles from the room temperature to 800 °C in electric muffle furnace. The experimental result indicates that the inclusion 8 and 12% of calcined sediment with fiber significantly enhances properties of normal concrete before and after heating, respectively.
