Published: December 2020

The Chinese Dream presented by president Xi Jinping focused on the renewal of the Chinese nation, the prosperity of the country and the well-being of its people. Incorporating the global influence ambition of China into nation-building and education, this study employed a macro policy analysis approach to synthesize the effects of the state-led ideals on nation-building and the roles to be played by higher education. A total of nine comprehensive policies, covering the period 1985 to 2017, and receptive to globalization, nation-building and higher education were selected. The findings revealed that nation-building in the post-Moa era is built upon three critical priority determinants labelled global influence, socialist market economy and talent management. These core nation-building determinants delineate specific higher education guidelines in terms of citizen education, science and technology, talent management, and innovation amidst accelerating global modernization and freedom-of-mind requirement for the establishment of a socialist consultative democracy. The findings further offer direction to higher education for the provision of a fit-for-purpose workforce capable of operating in both a modern global and local market.

Authors:   University of National and World Economy, Economics of Transport and Energy Department, Sofia, Bulgaria, Tsonkova Asya Grigorova
Published: December 2020

Industry 4.0, which we are currently in, is creating a new type of business environment. Europe is actively changing, which gives rise to the necessity for strong international partners; and it is precisely China that represents the major investor with an active interest in Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 was created by the Federal German government to preserve the competitiveness of German industry in the long run. It is for precisely this reason that Germany becomes a dream partner for China. The necessity for studying the problems of the emerging close cooperation between Germany and China based on Industry 4.0 is vital not just for the European market but for global business as well because it will have a major influence on future economic and technological changes on a European level and a global level. China and Germany are among the largest economies in the world, but whereas Chinese industry is largely based on significantly low labor costs, German industry is based on continuous technical progress. In recent years Chinese industry has had an urgent need for the development of new and less labor-consuming manufacturing practices, which requires more automated machines and robots to be integrated in autonomous manufacturing structures.

Authors: Raj Kirthi , M Sadiqulla
Published: December 2020

To determine the prevalence of foveal serous retinal detachment in diabetic macular edema among Indians, establish the affiliation between serous retinal detachment (SRD) and severity of diabetic retinopathy, to study its association with the body mass index (BMI) and demographic profile of these patients. 

Retrospective single-center analysis was done of all patients with diabetic macular edema at the retina clinic between December 2016 to October 2017. 

 The overall prevalence of serous retinal detachment in diabetic retinopathy was 46.5%. The average central macular thickness (CMT) of patients having sub foveal SRD was 584.6 microns. Statistically, significantly higher mean was found in patients with Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) having SRD (p-value 0.017) over those with Non-Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). A higher prevalence of SRD was noted among men (p-value 0.035) and with patients with higher BMI (p-value 0.0028). 

 Higher prevalence of serous retinal detachment (SRD) was seen in proliferative diabetic retinopathy with a higher prevalence among the Indian population with male predilection and among patients with higher BMI.

Authors: Patil Rohini , Sujatha Rani
Published: December 2020

To correlate 3 important factors central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and visual field changes in the POAG suspects which it helps to predict the onset of POAG and in early diagnosis.

In this prospective study, a total 100 patients from 40 to 70 years of age diagnosed as PAOG suspects were included in the study. Slit lamp bio microscopy, ultrasound pachymetry was done to measure CCT and IOP was measured with Goldman applanation tonometer the visual field assessment was done with the octopus field analyser.

The patient population consisted of 42 females and 58 males with average age of 51.7 years. Significant and moderate positive correlation between the CCT and IOP was observed for the right side (r)=0.39 and left side(r)=0.36 statistically significant (P=0.001). In our study highest percentage of abnormal (glaucomatous) visual field changes was seen in eyes with low CCT (<510µm) (P=0.008). Mean corrected IOP reading was 21.43 mmHg for the 14 patients with abnormal visual fields on right side and this was statistically significant at P=0.01.

Thinner corneal readings in south Indian population especially when presenting at younger age should alarm the ophthalmologist to evaluate the patient thoroughly for glaucoma and should be followed up for the progression of glaucoma.

Published: December 2020

Normal conjunctival flora have important role in the healthy functioning of eye like maintenance of surface homeostasis and prevention and/or causation of ocular infection. Objective of this study is to investigate the conjunctival aerobic bacterial flora in diabetic patients and nondiabetic subjects with regard to the management of diabetes which is assessed by glycated hemoglobin levels.

A prospective study carried out to compare the conjunctiva microflora in 50 diabetes mellitus type II and age matched 50 non-diabetic healthy individuals. Swab was taken from all the participants by rubbing sterile cotton swab to inferior palpebral conjunctiva. Bacterial culture processed using blood agar, chocolate agar, eosin methylene-blue lactose sucrose agar and sabouraud dextrose agar. The bacterial flora identified using microbiology procedure.

The rate of bacterial isolate determined as 40% and 34% in diabetes mellitus type II and non-diabetic healthy subjects. In these diabetic group, 30% positive for , 20% for , 10% for , 10% for coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and 30% for more than one bacteria. In non-diabetic group, 52.9% positive for 23.5% for coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS), 5.8% for and 17.6% for more than one bacteria. There was no statistical significant difference observed in isolated bacteria in diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Gram negative bacterial colonization observed high in diabetic individuals (diabetic group, χ2= 0.156, p = 0.815 and in healthy non-diabetic group, χ2= 4.95, p = 0.035).

Bacterial isolates were lower in diabetics younger than 40 years of age compared with older than 60 years of age. The conjunctival bacterial flora in diabetics differ from non-diabetic subjects. This should be considered preoperatively and postoperatively, for prophylactic and postoperative treatment should be administered accordingly to the diabetic patients.

This case documents the rare occurrence of anemic retinopathy in patient of anemia due to menorrhagia.
A Review on Consequential Life Cycle Assessment in the Power Sector
Authors: Luu Le Quyen , Longo Sonia , Cellura Maurizio , Sanseverino Eleonora Riva
Published: December 2020

The existing policy for greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement aims at decarbonisation of the power sector. The interrelations between the power sector and other economic sectors raise a question of whether the GHG emission reduction policy in the power sector is as effective as it is claimed. Consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA) has been developed to assess the environmental impacts of any industrial/productive sector in relation with changes in the policy and its indirect impacts on other economic sectors. This review is conducted on CLCA studies in the power sector in terms of system boundaries expansion and socio-economic interactions and the ability to quantify indirect environmental impacts. It is indicated that CLCA expanded the system boundaries by applying mutatis mutandis assumption to include several affected products with various scales of change. Economic modelling tools are frequently applied to make assumptions on the extent of change. The applications of these tools also help to identify the environmental profile of product systems and the socio-economic changes such as economic growth and consumer behaviours. Thanks for the expansion of system boundaries and inclusion of socio-economic interactions, the total environmental impacts of power sector are comprehensively quantified. The variations of the total environmental impacts, with different magnitude of change, were observed in several reviewed case studies. In term of GHG emissions, some products become cleaner, for example battery; however, in most of the cases, the power system in general becomes more polluted when indirect impacts on other economic sectors are included.
E-commerce Industry’s R&D, Market Operating and Performance: Based on Worldwide Listed Companies’ Empirical Analysis
Authors: Ding Lin , Liu Wenjun , Wang Cuibo
Published: December 2020

Based on the characteristics of the e-commerce industry, this paper proposes the conception of operating intensity and explores the relationships between R&D intensity, operating intensity and firms’ performance. Multiple regression analysis approach is adopted based on the unbalanced panel dataset of global e-commerce listed companies in 49 countries in 2001-2015. Our findings suggest that suitable R&D intensity contributes positively to e-commerce firms’ performance, and with a lag. Operating intensity contributes an inverted U shape to e-commerce firms’ performance. We also find that interaction between R&D and operating intensity’s effects on firms’ performance is positively significant in global samples. In Group 7 sample, R&D intensity contributes positively to e-commerce firms’ performance, but BRICS sample’s is negative. Operating intensity contributes positively to firms’ performance both in Group 7 sample and BRICS sample. Marginal utility of operating intensity on firms’ performance in Group 7 sample is bigger than in BRICS. The results imply that R&D investment of e-commerce listed companies in BRIC countries has not converted to benefit, however it drags down the firms’ performance.

Published: December 2020

In the present times, the use of air cooled condenser (ACC) has become generalized where the installation of power plants is required and access to condensation water is difficult. At present it is known that performing the thermal evaluation of an ACC is a complex task, since the existing methods do not consider all the elements that directly influence the performance of the ACC. A very widespread method is that attributed to Kröger, however its use does not provide adequate results for high values of environmental temperature, which is a limitation to be applied in tropical countries like Cuba. This document provides an analysis method that includes the effect of environmental variables and that allows reasonable results to be obtained for high values of ambient temperature. The new proposal follows the logical sequence of the Kröger method, but considering a new procedure for the determination of the mean heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops, required for the thermal evaluation of ACC.

Authors: Shi Lelai , Zhou Jing , Liu Suhui
Published: December 2020

The efficient use of agricultural water is the key for Yangtze River Economic Zone (YREZ) to realize ecological green development. Taking the panel data on 11 YREZ regions in 2011-2018 as the object, this paper establishes an evaluation indicator system for green agricultural water use efficiency (GAWUE) containing undesired output, and adopts the epsilon-based measure (EBM) model to evaluate YREZ’s GAWUE. After analyzing the regional differences in YREZ’s GAWUE, the Tobit model was introduced to verify the drivers of GAWUE. The results show that: In the study period, YREZ’s GAWUE exhibits some regional differences. The mean GAWUEs of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan were optimized; those of Guizhou, Yunnan, Chongqing, and Hubei were relatively desirable, leaving a small room for improvement, the mean GAWUEs of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui were undesirable, waiting for major improvement in future. Overall, the lower reaches had the highest GAWUE, followed by the upper reaches, while the middle reaches had the minimum GAWUE. The Tobit model shows that agricultural technological growth (ATG) and agricultural water intensity (AWI) greatly promote GAWUE, while farmer income level (FIL), water resources endowment (WRE), agricultural planting structure (APS), and farmland irrigation area (FIA) significantly suppress GAWUE.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND Blood pressure (BP) in the right and left arms can be different. This inter arm difference (IAD) in BP can be systolic (IAD - SBP) and / or diastolic (IAD - DBP). IAD of ≥ 10 mm of Hg is considered significant. SYNTAX score is used to assess the complexity of coronary artery lesions. Prevalence of IAD in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and its relationship to complexity of coronary artery disease is unclear. METHODS In 100 patients taken up for CAG, BP was recorded in both the arms simultaneously with automated devices using oscillometric method. Significant IAD was defined as ≥ 10 mm of Hg. Using SYNTAX score, patients were divided into two groups; those with a lower score < 22 and those with a higher score ≥ 22. Data was analysed using SPSS version 16. Mean difference of the variables was analysed using Independent t test. Association of interarm BP difference and high SYNTAX score was analysed using Chi Square test. RESULTS Significant IAD of ≥ 10 mm of Hg was noted in 16 out of 100 patients. SYNTAX score of ≥ 22 was seen in 30 patients. IAD - SBP ≥ 10 was noted in 23.3 % in patients with higher SYNTAX score as against 2.9 % in those with lower score (p 0.001). IAD - DBP ≥ 10 was seen in 20 % of patients with higher SYNTAX score as against 1.4 % in those with lower SYNTAX score (p 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Interarm blood pressure difference of ≥ 10 mm of Hg is seen in 16 % of cases taken up for coronary angiogram. Patients with IAD ≥ 10 mm of Hg had higher SYNTAX score of ≥ 22 suggesting more complex coronary artery disease. KEYWORDS Interarm Blood Pressure Difference, SYNTAX Score
Logistics of Pedagogical Innovations: Paradigms of Development in Educational Holding
Authors:   Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University named after I. N. Ulyanov, Danilov Sergey V.
Published: December 2020

The transition of Russian society to the post-industrial stage actualizes the problem of developing educational systems based on innovations and the search for a relevant methodology for managing pedagogical innovations. Its basis is the logistics of pedagogical innovations as the theory and practice of flow control in educational systems. The purpose of the study is to determine the paradigms of logistic development of pedagogical innovations as a methodology and mechanism for managing innovation in an educational holding. The hypothesis is presented by the assumption that these paradigms form value, content and instrumental frameworks for the implementation and development of logistics of pedagogical innovations. The study is based on an analysis of primary sources, including 1492 cases, which include reports on the results of innovative activities of educational organizations of Ulyanovsk Oblast, which are innovative sites that are part of a regional educational holding (100 educational organizations annually). The materials were prepared during the period from 2003-2004 to 2017-2018 academic years. We introduced the concept of “logistics of pedagogical innovations”, which describes the theory and practice of managing flows (pedagogical, infrastructural, integrative, interference) in an educational holding in order to ensure a steady flow of pedagogical innovations that are the result of its activities and development factor. We identified directions of development of pedagogical innovations logistics, which are defined by five paradigms: axiological (value of innovation), humanitarian (a person as a subject of logistics), interaction paradigm (focus on the development of interaction in the holding’s internal and external environment), meaningful (priority in the study of flows in an educational holding) and technological (focus on improving methods and means of logistics). Each of them sets priorities for improving the educational holding.

The study of emigration intentions of young students is extremely relevant and is due to the need to solve an important social problem – preservation of human capital within the country, concern for the well-being of young people as the most active and educated part of the population. The purpose of the study is to identify the representation of Smolensk students jf the motives of emigration among Russian young people. The study is exploratory in nature and is focused on finding the answer to the following question: what are the motives for emigration behavior of modern Russian youth? The analysis of students’ perceptions of emigration motives of their peers, on the one hand, allows us to assess the degree of comfort, safety and satisfaction of living environment in the country and, on the other hand, given the high probability of manifestation of the transfer and projection mechanism in answers, indirectly determine the dominant motives of potential emigration of students. The study was carried out on a sample (N = 255) of students from four Smolensk universities (aged 17 to 24 years old; 119 young men (47%) and 136 young women (53%) using the questionnaire designed by the authors. Methods of processing primary data – frequency and content analysis. As a result of a content analysis of students’ perceptions of the motives of the emigration behavior of Russian young people, 6 main groups of motives were identified, which are based on the following factors: economic, political, legal, environmental, subjective and vital. These motivators are analyzed from the position of belonging to the attractive, expellant and individual-personal motives of emigration. The results obtained will help to expand specialists’ understanding of psychological causes of young people’s emigration behavior and can be used in the process of providing psychological assistance and support to potential emigrants.

Published: December 2020

The suicide rate among the Iranian population has increased over the past few decades. Descriptive information about this public health challenge could inform health policymakers to prioritize prevention strategies. We described the last updated data from the Iranian forensic medicine between 2016 and 2018. We obtained the data on the fatal suicide cases from the national suicide registry of the Iranian Forensic Medicine Organization (FMO), validated by death certificates and harmonized for epidemiologic studies. This study included 9,021 nationally registered suicide deaths from March 21, 2016, to March 20, 2018. A descriptive statistical approach was used to present the findings. Of 9,021 registered suicide deaths with age range between 10 to 94 years [median=31], 44.6% [n=4,015] was in the category of ≤ 29, 48.0% [n=4,328] between 30 to 59, and 7.4% (n=666) in the category of ≥ 60 years old. The percentage of fatal suicide was obviously higher in men (71.2%, n=6,424). Hanging was the most common method of suicide, both among men (57.7%, n=3706) and women (37.6%, n=976). The frequency of fatal suicide was significantly higher in married than single cases (52.6% vs. 42.9%). Overall, at the national level, the most common suicide method was hanging (51.9%), followed by self-poisoning (25.8%) and self-immolation (6.8%). We found evidence of age- and gender differences in suicide mortality across the country. Men, people in younger age groups, and married couples could be considered as the target population for preventive interventions in Iran.

Published: December 2020

Acute leukemia (AL) is a group of malignant hemopathies characterized by monoclonal intramedullary proliferation of abnormal hematopoietic cells, the maturation process of which is blocked at the "Blast" stage. In these pathologies, an abnormal cell clone proliferates. By its character of anarchy, of nonresponse to normal regulators of cell proliferation, and its invasive character, this clone assumes all the characters of malignancy. The diagnosis of ALL can no longer be based solely on morphological and cytochemical characteristics but must include the elements of the immunological phenotype of leukemic cells. Currently, a classification based on immunophenotypic and cytogenetic data, as well as on molecular biology data, is necessary for the determination of the optimal treatment. The objective of this work is to reach a descriptive approach of acute leukemia in the region of Annaba, in the east of Algeria.Description of the epidemiological, clinical, and cytological characteristics of the cases of acute leukemia collected in the Hematology Laboratory of Dorban Hospital over a period of 6 years. Analysis of the results of our study and their comparison with those published in the literature, with a reminder of the epidemiological and diagnostic data. The retrospective study was conducted in the division of the hematology hospital of Sidi Ammar-Annaba, during the period from January 2018 to July 2019. This study was based on data from 50 patients. During our study period, the results show that 50 cases of acute leukemia confirmed by the myelogram were notified. The annual average is 12.3 cases. The collected data were made in Annaba at the CHU-Dorban. We noted a variety of clinical signs and a variety of symptoms represented mainly by fever (100%), anemia (100%), hemorrhagic syndromes (30, 6%), and splenomegaly (80.6%), for the myelogram. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was predominant with 25 cases. In conclusion, we can say that. Acute leukemia in adults in eastern Algeria can be expressed by a variety of symptoms and hematological disorders, in addition to a series of associated conditions.

Published: December 2020

The prevalence of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has increased since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic started. This study was aimed to describe clinical manifestation and outcomes of MIS-C associated with COVID-19.
This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on all available literature until July 3rd, 2020. The screening was done by using the following keywords: (“novel coronavirus” Or COVID-19 or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or coronavirus) and ("MIS-C" or "multisystem inflammatory" or Kawasaki). Data on gender, ethnicity, clinical presentations, need for mechanical ventilation or admission to intensive care unit (ICU), imaging, cardiac complications, and COVID-19 laboratory results were extracted to measure the pooled estimates.
Out of 314 found articles, 16 articles with a total of 600 patients were included in the study, the most common presentation was fever (97%), followed by gastrointestinal symptoms (80%), and skin rashes (60%) as well as shock (55%), conjunctivitis (54%), and respiratory symptoms (39%). Less common presentations were neurologic problems (33%), and skin desquamation (30%), MIS-C was slightly more prevalent in males (53.7%) compared to females (46.3%).
The findings of this meta-analysis on current evidence found that the common clinical presentations of COVID-19 associated MIS-C include a combination of fever and mucocutaneous involvements, similar to atypical Kawasaki disease, and multiple organ dysfunction. Due to the relatively higher morbidity and mortality rate, it is very important to diagnose this condition promptly.

Cesarean section (CS) is an important challenge for a pregnant woman and her newborn. The most common anesthesia techniques used for CS are general anesthesia (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA). This study was designed to compare the modulation of genes whose expression level is indicative of the immune system following exposure to GA and SA.
The present study was performed on 40 women who were scheduled for elective CS receiving GA or SA. The expression levels of the relative mRNA of Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, Interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor growth factor (TGF)-β before anesthesia (T0) and 24 hours post-anesthesia (T1) were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique.
Twenty-four hours post-anesthesia, the expression levels of IL-10, IL-17, and IFN-γ genes were decreased while the expressions of IL-4, IL-6, and TGF-β genes were upregulated in two groups, however, the differences were not significant. The mRNA level of IL-4 was increased in the SA group significantly.
The post-CS mRNA levels of IL-4 in the SA group may indicate that SA is more appropriate than GA for the initiation of tissue repair pathways.

Seed size may affect the initial development of seedlings, especially under adverse conditions such as water deficit. The objective of this study was to characterize the influence of seed size on traits presented by maize seedlings under contrasting conditions of water availability. The experiment was conducted with a tolerant line (L91), a non-tolerant line (L57), and with the F2 resulting from the cross between those lines. The seeds were classified with the use of round-hole sieves and those retained on sieves of sizes 22, 20 and 18/64” were used. The seeds were sown in trays containing sand and, in order to simulate water deficit, the water retention capacity was adjusted to 10% (stress) and 70% (control). Four replications were used, with 25 seeds per treatment, which were stored in a growth chamber at 25 ºC for 7 days. Then the number of seminal roots, length of root and shoot, and their weights (fresh, dry and total) were evaluated. The seed size directly influences the development of maize seedlings, when subjected to water restriction, regardless of whether they are lines or F2. In this case, the larger-size sieves (22 and 20) were superior when compared with the size 18. In the early stages, the L57 was more tolerant to water restriction when compared with L91.

Published: December 2020

Recent decades have brought significant changes all over the world in terms of space mobility. In this context, from an economic perspective, the first question that arises is related to the correlation that exists between this phenomenon and the economic growth of the country of origin, respectively that of the destination of immigrants. The initiation of an entrepreneurial act, beyond a series of qualities that the individual must possess, also highlights the need for the existence of an economic and social framework conducive to such an approach. When the issue of immigrants is discussed, this becomes even more obvious, because in most cases, they do not have the citizenship of the country of destination and do not enjoy the same rights as their citizens. This article seeks to clarify the relationship between migration and entrepreneurship from the perspective of the existence of equal opportunities between the population of that country and the immigrant population regarding the start-up of entrepreneurial activities.

Published: December 2020

The story of „The Ship of Theseus” lay at the foundation of one of the most intriguing paradox of any perspective of ego, self and identity. In this article, the story is told and retold in many different ways. Broadley, the story has three narators: Plutarch (who fuelled at least six variations and another three competitors of the main theme), Thomas Hobbes (whose readings of the story ignited the search for solutions to this paradox – solutions that are mainly logical) and I, Gabriel R. Suciu: my version shifts the question from „How to present the paradox?” and „How to solve the paradox?”, to „How to build a paradox?”. It’s woth mentioning that a fourth version is also told, at the beginning of the article – the story told by the ship itself.

We have all realized that ample discussions about ethics and integrity occupy an important place in academia and beyond, as each of us had contact with issues raised by research ethics, either directly through our study or research interests or indirectly through the social behaviors with which we come into contract. All these have the merit of bringing to the public's attention rigorous debates that otherwise might be ignored, most often held in meetings of specialists from various university centers in Romania and sometimes with significant international participation. These topics are addressed in the volume ”Etică şi integritate în educaţie şi cercetare” [Ethics and integrity in education and research], coordinated by Antonio Sandu & Bogdan Popoveniuc, published in 2018 by Tritonic Publishing House.
