Мета – дослідження маловивченої і не проаналізованої плакатної спадщини українського митця Віктора Петровича Бистрякова (1943–2021).

Методологія. Застосовано методи мистецтвознавчого аналізу, порівняльний та історичний.

Результати. Досліджено плакатну творчість відомого українського художника Віктора Бистрякова. Виявлено, що протягом близько 40 років Віктор Петрович Бистряков створив більше чотирьох десятків плакатних творів, які введено до наукового обігу лише частково і тенденційно, під кутом ідеологічного замовлення відповідного соціального устрою. Встановлено, що сумарний наклад виданих друком плакатів авторства Віктора Бистрякова, що знаходяться у архівах НБУВ, становить 813280 примірників і таким чином, не може перебувати поза увагою мистецтвознавчої науки. З’ясовано, що попри політичну ангажованість плакатних практик епохи пізнього соціалізму 1970–80 рр., існувала можливість мистецького ескапізму через роботу із жанрами видовищного або культурологічного плаката, як менш ідеологічно контрольованого середовища. Встановлено, що одним з представників такої «тихої» опозиції можна вважати відомого київського митця Віктора Петровича Бистрякова, який починаючи із навчання у КДХІ звертався до загально цивілізаційних або суто мистецьких тем.

Наукова новизна. Вперше охарактеризовано художні закономірності і технічні можливості виконання метафорично-плакатних рішень художника В. Бистрякова через оприлюднення маловідомого обсягу його творів.

Практична значущість полягає у можливості аналізу формальних дизайнерських прийомів при створенні плакатів з метою їхнього використання у дизайн-освіті.

Object based museum application: You have a message from the past!
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Universty, Turkiye., Er Tuna Yasemin
Published: September 2023

One of the most popular places for out-of-school education is undoubtedly museums. In addition to ensuring permanent learning, the lessons, practices, and activities performed in museums provide a rich learning and fun environment, where students can see and examine first-hand evidence. Students can feel like historians or archaeologists here. Museum education provides opportunities for them to connect with and understand the past. Object based learning in museums is a useful method to understand the past and the human communities who lived in the past and to find out about them. Thus, it increases students' understanding and comprehension. This research was conducted to determine how students connected with individuals who did not exist in the past through objects using a message from the past to the future activity in the object based museum education application. The students participating in the research were asked to assume themselves an imaginary person living in the past, to choose an object, and to write the story between this object and themselves as a short message to a future person. A qualitative research method was used in this study, which was conducted with 9th grade students, and the study data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. According to the results of the research, it was concluded that the stories of the people whom the students identified with, the objects they chose, and the message they wrote may have been influenced by their perceptions about traditional male-female roles. The fact that the historical narrative is focused on political history and male heroes may have affected the differences between the messages of male and female students. The identification of participants with individuals from different cultures and societies can be seen as a positive result of object based education. It is one of the results of this research that almost half of these messages written for the future included anachronistic elements.

Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um panorama histórico sobre o surgimento dos cursos de Pós-Graduação no Brasil, com um olhar específico em relação à origem dos programas de Ensino de Ciências e Educação Matemática no país. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com a finalidade de investigar o contexto social, histórico e político em que a Pós-Graduação foi concebida no país. Também foram examinados, na Plataforma Sucupira, os programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação Matemática em ordem cronológica e a quantidade de programas acadêmicos e profissionais existentes em cada região brasileira, em 2019, com o intuito de analisar o crescimento desses programas no país, desde a sua criação. No percurso deste trabalho, foram elencados alguns momentos importantes que antecederam a implantação, de fato, da pós no Brasil, a saber: a vinda de professores estrangeiros para atuarem no Ensino Superior brasileiro, na década de 1930; a primeira menção do termo Pós-Graduação no Decreto nº 21.321/1946 e a criação do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) e da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), em 1951. Após esses marcos, em 1965, com o Parecer Sucupira, no contexto da Ditadura Militar, a Pós-Graduação é institucionalizada oficialmente no Brasil. Anos mais tarde, em 1973, é implantado, no Brasil, o primeiro Mestrado em Ensino de Ciências, na Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo (FEUSP) e, em 1984, é criado o primeiro Mestrado em Educação Matemática, na Universidade Estadual de São Paulo (UNESP), Campus Rio Claro. A criação desses programas marca o início das pesquisas em Pós-Graduação com o objetivo de investigar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem das ditas ciências duras. Por fim, conclui-se que a Pós-Graduação no Brasil surge em uma época de muita repressão política, é espelhada, principalmente, no modelo americano e que, aos poucos, vai se estruturando no país, com o surgimento de diversos programas no Brasil, inclusive aqueles voltados ao Ensino de Ciências e Educação Matemática.
As ternas pitagóricas e sua relação com os números congruentes: possibilidades de uso da História da Matemática em sala de aula
Authors: Balieiro Filho Inocêncio Fernandes , Rodriguez Jaime Edmundo Apaza , Carvalho Edson Donizete de
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo, por meio de uma revisão histórica, estabelecemos uma discussão sobre dois problemas clássicos e paralelos: as ternas pitagóricas e os números congruentes. Em diferentes momentos históricos, foi possível encontrarmos referências às ternas pitagóricas e aos números congruentes. O primeiro registro histórico de algumas ternas aparece na tabuleta babilônica Plimpton 322. Em seguida, nos textos do Sulvasutras, vemos que Baudhayana, Manava, Apastamba e Katyayana já conheciam o teorema de Pitágoras e obtiveram algumas ternas mediante o teorema da diagonal. Por meio dos relatos de Proclus, conhecemos os procedimentos de Pitágoras e Platão que possibilitaram gerar algumas ternas e a solução para gerar todas as ternas aparece em Os elementos de Euclides. Na Aritmética de Diofanto encontramos o primeiro exemplo de ternas em números racionais. Os primeiros estudos sobre as ternas pitagóricas e triângulos racionais aparecem nos estudos de Brahmagupta, cujos resultados são reconsiderados por Mahavira, Bhaskara II e Karavinda Swami. Nas investigações de al-Khazin sobre ternas primitivas encontramos uma parametrização para gerá-las. Fermat estabeleceu que a área de um triângulo retângulo cujos lados são inteiros não é um quadrado racional e, em 1983, Tunnell determinou uma solução parcial para o problema dos números congruentes. Os resultados obtidos por meio da revisão histórica sobre o tema nos permitiu construir um material que pode ser utilizado como um subsídio para o uso da História da Matemática em sala de aula, em diferentes níveis de ensino.

Authors: Pinto Francisco Mateus Azevedo , Menezes Daniel Brandão
Published: September 2023

O erro, para uma grande maioria dos estudantes e professores, pode significar fracasso ou falta de conhecimento para a prática de uma determinada ação. Diante disso, este estudo traz como problemática as posturas que consideram o erro do aluno como falta de conhecimento. A Análise de Erro é exposta no decorrer deste manuscrito como uma proposta metodológica em potencial para o ensino de Matemática, apoiando-se nas etapas da Sequência Fedathi. Objetiva-se com este estudo relacionar de forma teórica os princípios desenvolvidos pelas teorias Análise de Erro e Sequência Fedathi. Esta investigação tomou como embasamento teórico, sobretudo, os manuscritos de Borges Neto (2013) sobre a Sequência Fedathi, como também a pesquisa de Cury (2015), acerca da Análise de Erro. Este estudo classifica-se como exploratório, cujo levantamento teórico sucedeu mediante uma explanação nas bases de dados e revistas científicas a fim de averiguar artigos, livros e quaisquer manuscritos que tivessem como umas de suas palavras-chaves os termos: “Sequência Fedathi”, “Ensino de Matemática” e/ou “Análise de Erro”. Diante da leitura e exploração dos artigos encontrados na pesquisa bibliográfica, tomou-se como fundamentação teórica para este manuscrito, principalmente, as obras de Cury (2015), Borges Neto (2013) e Souza (2013). Tomou-se como resultado a eficiência no estabelecimento de uma relação entre as teorias citadas anteriormente, considerando experiências evidenciadas nas produções estudadas e a clareza dos princípios teóricos. Portanto, destacam-se os benefícios de ter como ponto de partida para o ensino de matemática situações que promovam ao aluno uma análise de seus erros, a atuação do professor nessa mudança de perspectiva sobre o erro e a nova postura que deverá ser adotada pelo aluno enquanto pesquisador em sala de aula.

Published: September 2023

In the past decade, digital platform business models have gained significant worth as they differ in creating and capturing value compared to traditional linear business processes. Previous research developed the SPEC – Smart Platform Experiment Cycle, a process to validate digital platform business models to ensure their successful implementation. In this context, it is intriguing to investigate whether and how step (1) of SPEC can be expanded by other platform design tools. This study developed a Live-Lab, namely KaPIL – Karlsruher Platform Innovation Lab, to design digital platform business models and test related tools and methods. Applying the Design Research Methodology, the designed Live-Lab is created by implementing ProVIL – Product Development in a Virtual Idea Laboratory combined with the Smart Education Concept and digital platform business knowledge. KaPIL was applied with students from the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the company STIHL to assess its efficacy, applicability, and validity. KaPIL can be used to design digital platforms and shows that the Platform Canvas, the Platform Business Model Canvas, and the Platform Design Canvas can expand step (1) of SPEC. In future research, more applications of KaPIL are required to validate its robustness and extend it to other digital platform methods and tools.

Escaping the Crisis, Seeking a Better Future, Living Global Lives: Recent Italians Migrants in Athens, Madrid and Bogota
Authors: Maddaloni Domenico
Published: September 2023

Current literature on international migration has focused mainly on flows from the South to the North of the global system. Recently, however, flows from more developed countries have also gained scholarly attention. In this context, the recent wave of migration from Italy may be of particular interest for several reasons. Research already conducted on these issues has shown that the recent upswing in Italian emigration is not solely due to and a sign of the growing integration of Italian society into the global system. It is also one of the consequences of a series of important social and cultural transformations, ranging from Italy’s changing position in the international division of labor to the individual search for a better quality of life. In this article, we will draw on the results of some research on Italian emigrants in three major urban centers – Athens, Madrid and Bogota – to identify the factors and mechanisms that trigger these new migration paths. Although each of the research works was conducted independently, using qualitative techniques of social analysis, particularly through semi-structured interviews, we believe that a comparison of the results obtained in these three research experiences may be useful in clarifying the rapidly evolving picture of the new Italian emigration. Keywords: Italy, crisis, globalization, migration, qualitative research
The Reterritorialisation of Pontic Greeks in Germany and the Modernisation of Tradition
Authors: Tseligka Eleni
Published: September 2023

Greeks have a long diasporic history that demonstrates significant examples of all major diaspora classifications. Pontic Greeks of the Black Sea in particular, represent an excellent example of non-static diasporic typology. Starting as an imperial diaspora they were transformed to a victim diaspora, when forcefully expelled from their native lands in north-eastern Anatolia, seeking refuge in Greece and in areas of central Asia that were later annexed by the Soviet Union. Greece’s socioeconomic environment, during the better part of the twentieth century, was proven insufficient to support the full integration of refugees, while those Pontic Greeks who found themselves behind the Iron Curtain, were subjected to further victimization. In 1960 Greece signed a bilateral agreement with West Germany, allowing its citizens to seek Gastarbeiter employment, resulting in the formation of a Greek labour diaspora in the country, of which an estimated one third self-identifies as culturally Pontic. After Greece’s induction in the European Communities, but especially in the post-Maastricht era, the migratory regime for Greeks in Germany changed to that of European-expatriation, therefore progressively transforming their labour diaspora to a cultural one. From imperial, to victim, to labour, to cultural, Pontic Diaspora underwent a long process of reterritorialisation, in their journey from Anatolia to Germany.
Generalized derivations acting on Lie ideals in prime rings and Banach algebras
Authors: Hermas A. , Oukhtite L. , Taoufiq L.
Published: September 2023

Let $R$ be a prime ring and $L$ a non-central Lie ideal of $R.$ The purpose of this paper is to describe generalized derivations of $R$ satisfying some algebraic identities locally on $L.$ More precisely, we consider two generalized derivations $F_1$ and $F_2$ of a prime ring $R$ satisfying one of the following identities:1. $F_1(x)\circ y +x \circ F_2(y) =0,$2. $[F_1(x),y] + F_2([x,y]) =0,$for all $x,y$ in a non-central Lie ideal $L$ of $R.$ Furthermore, as an application, we study continuous generalized derivations satisfying similar algebraic identities with power values on nonvoidopen subsets of a prime Banach algebra $A$. Our topological approach is based on Baire'scategory theorem and some properties from functional analysis.

Background. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is able to affect the permeability of memb­ra­nes by increasing the entry of antibiotics into the cell of microorganism; therefore, PEGylation may improve the effectiveness of antibiotics due to chemical modification of their molecules. It is important to assess the safety and toxicity of new compounds for drug development activity. The aim of this research was to study the functional state and structure of the kidneys of laboratory rats after intramuscular administration of PEGylated antibiotic enrofloxacin, as well as commercial antibiotic enrofloxacin and polymer PEG-400, which were used for the synthesis of PEGylated antibiotic enrofloxacin. Materials and Methods. PEGylated antibiotic enrofloxacin was obtained via the reaction between enrofloxacin chloride and PEG-400 polymer (polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 400 Da). The research was conducted on four groups of rats: control and three experimental ones, 12 animals in each group. Physiological saline solution was intramuscularly injected to the control rats; commercial antibiotic enrofloxacin – to rats of the first experimental group; polymer PEG-400 – to rats of the second experimental group; PEGylated antibiotic enrofloxacin – to rats of the third experimental group. Results. The conducted studies did not show a significant difference between the serum creatinine in control rats and experimental ones on the 7th, 14th and 21st days after the last administration of the drugs. Creatinine levels in the blood of all groups of animals were within physiological ranges. Histological studies of the kidney structure in control rats indicated no changes during the experiment. Histological changes in the structure of the kidneys were observed within the first seven days after the end of the intramuscular administration of polymer PEG-400 and PEGylated antibiotic enrofloxacin. Injections of the commercial form of antibiotic enrofloxacin to experimental rats caused histological changes in the kidney structure for 21 days of the experiment. Conclusions. Quadruple intramuscular administration of PEGylated and commercial antibiotics enrofloxacin to rats showed that PEGylation reduces nephrotoxicity and shortens the duration of adverse effects in the kidneys.

In light of the dual challenges posed by climate change and the burgeoning global population, which are putting food security at risk, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable agricultural innovations. These innovations must be capable of increasing crop productivity and maintaining soil health, reducing our dependence on synthetic agrochemical inputs, and preserving the nutritional quality of our food crops. It is crucial to delve into the biological and physiological processes that underlie plant-microbe interactions. Such knowledge is paramount in harnessing the advantages of these interactions for sustainable agriculture. This review delves into the intricate mechanisms through which beneficial rhizosphere and soil bacteria, known as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), contribute to enhancing crop yields, bolstering stress resilience, and improving the nutritional quality of crops. We explore the vital capabilities of PGPB, encompassing nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, iron chelation through microbial siderophores, and modulation of hormonal signaling pathways. The PGPB taxa in focus include rhizobial diazotrophs (genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium) and diverse heterotrophic genera (Azotobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas). Recent studies have provided compelling evidence of the effectiveness of PGPB in biofortification interventions, which involve enriching essential micronutrients in crops through microbial enhancement of nutrient mobilization, uptake, translocation, and acquisition. Understanding the genomic and metabolic mechanisms that govern plant growth promotion, abiotic stress tolerance, pathogen inhibition, and biofortification by PGPR is pivotal. Such insights can inform endeavors to optimize, formulate, and apply tailored PGPR inoculants. Adopting a systems perspective that acknowledges the intricate interactions among plants, microbes, and soil in this context is essential. Furthermore, we advocate for continued research in various domains, including microbiota recruitment, PGPR screening, the cumulative effects of various approaches, developing effective delivery systems, field testing, and integrating these findings with breeding programs. Interdisciplinary collaboration among microbial ecologists, plant physiologists, crop scientists, and farmers will be instrumental in unlocking the full potential of plant-microbe associations to ensure sustainable agriculture and food crop quality. In summary, more profound insights into PGPB biology and their interactions with plants offer a promising path toward enhancing productivity and sustainability in the face of escalating demands.
Efectos de la inoculación con aislamientos de rizobios y su interacción con el basalto sobre el crecimiento de Medicago polymorpha L.
Authors: Vásquez Susana I. , Cossoli Marcela R. , Romero Amalia M. E.
Published: September 2023

El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la inoculación de tres aislamientos de rizobios del cepario de la cátedra de Microbiología-UNNE, con y sin el agregado de basalto, sobre el crecimiento de Medicago polymorpha. El ensayo tuvo un diseño factorial 3 x 2, con 6 tratamientos y 5 repeticiones, bajo invernáculo: T1: A52 sin basalto; T2: A52 con basalto; T3: A194 sin basalto; T4: A194 con basalto; T:5 A140 sin basalto; T6: A140 con basalto. Los datos tomados fueron analizados mediante ANOVA, con prueba de Fisher (p<0,05) para la comprobación de medias. Se pudo observar que los tratamientos T6 y T4 fueron superiores al T2 en un 37% y 22% respectivamente para la variable número de hojas por planta. El T4 presentó el mayor número de ramificaciones por planta seguido del T6, diferenciándose de T2 en un 53% y 42% respectivamente. Estas diferencias posiblemente se deban a la capacidad de estos microrganismos de promover el crecimiento vegetal mediante el mecanismo de solubilización del polvo de roca que genera mayor disponibilidad de nutrientes. El A52 se comportó de manera opuesta, obteniendo mejores resultados en las variables mencionadas en el tratamiento sin basalto (T1). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre tratamientos para las variables volumen radical, peso seco de raíz, vástago y producción total por planta. Sólo se observaron nódulos en una planta del T6. El resto de los tratamientos no presentaron nódulos, lo que podría atribuirse a la alta especificidad de M. polymorpha o al tipo de suelo utilizado en el ensayo.

Mathematical Model for BOD in Waste Water Discharges from Al Dora Refinery in Baghdad
Authors: AL Khazraji Shatha Dh. , Nasser Nawar O.A.
Published: September 2023

This research consists of two parts, the first part concern with analyzing the collected data of BOD and COD values in discharge waste water from Al-Dora refinery during 2010 to find the relationship between these two variables The results indicates that there is a high correlation between BOD and COD when using a natural logarithm model (0.86 ln(COD)) with correlation coefficient of 0.98. This relationship is useful in predicting the BOD value using the COD value. The second part includes analyzing collected data from the same site in order to find a relationsip between BOD and other parameters COD, Phenol(phe), Temperature(T), Oil, Sulphat(SO4),pH and Total dissolved solids( TDS) discharged from the refinery. The results indicated that the best mathematical model is BOD= 0.786 (ln(COD))^2 - 3.077E83/Exp(10T) + 1.76E+48/Exp(0.1TDS)- 5.6507/Exp(100Phe) With correlation coefficient of 0.873. The presented research demonstrates many conclusions regarding the relation between BOD and other pollutions, it is clear that the relation between BOD and COD is a direct relation, while it’s a reverse relation with other pollutions and it’s also clear that a linear model can be used to represent the relation between BOD and COD for a value of COD approximately less than (50 mg/L).
Different Resolution Merging Methods For Environmental Areas Extraction
Authors: Atta Husham Abd Munaf
Published: September 2023

The usage of remote sensing techniques in managing and monitoring the environmental areas is increasing due to the improvement of the sensors used in the observation satellites around the earth. Resolution merge process is used to combine high resolution one band image with another one that have low resolution multi bands image to produce one image that is high in both spatial and spectral resolution. In this work different merging methods were tested to evaluate their enhancement capabilities to extract different environmental areas; Principle component analysis (PCA), Brovey, modified (Intensity, Hue ,Saturation) method and High Pass Filter methods were tested and subjected to visual and statistical comparison for evaluation. Both visual and statistical comparison showed that High Pass Filter method have highest visual enhancement and highly maintained the quantitative information of the original image, Modified (Intensity, Hue, Saturation) method showed good visual and statistical results in comparison with PCA and Brovey method which had the lower results respectively.
System Paradigm and Development of Alternative Strategies in Constructing Institutional Economic Theories
Authors:   Omsk Humanitarian Academy, Biryukov V. V.
Published: September 2023

This article addresses the key aspects of constructing contemporary theories in institutional economics. The goal is to uncover the paradigmatic framework guiding different strategies in institutional theo­ries and their potential for change. Using interdisciplinary constructivist methods from social sciences, the study highlights the intersubjective nature of economics and contrasts the principles that serve as the foundation for the development of institutional economic theories. The study’s historical review shows that shared research strategies have emerged from a paradigm rooted in the marginalist revolution. In this approach, collective phenomena explain the behavior of agents pursuing utilitarian motives. The unorthodox strategy involves constructing macro-, micro-, and historical-economic theories based on the distinction of two main levels of research: value-normative and institutional-instrumental. Meanwhile, the mainstream strategy concentrates only on institutions and tools. Relying on the established paradigm results in the creation of structuralist and eclectic theories that lead to a fragmented view of the economy. The paper advocates a transition to a poststructura­list paradigm via constructivist logic. This shift entails examining the relationship between agents and institutions from the perspective of economic culture, values, and ideas, rather than psychology. This approach enables a multi-level assessment of the economy as a system of institutions forged through value compromise. It also allows us to show internal changes, considering the impact of path determinacy linked to new values and ideas (ideational path determinacy).
The Paradox of Labour Productivity: When More Work Doesn’t Mean Better Results (the Case of American Economy)
Authors:   Ryazan State Agrotechnological University named after P. A. Kostychev, Minat V. N.
Published: September 2023

This study aims to provide a theoretical and empirical assessment of the influence of increased work intensity, physical strain, and repetitive tasks on labour productivity in different sectors of the US economy over an extended period. Employing an index-based methodology, we present a comparative analysis of changes in these factors from 1901 to 2020, using indicators and standards provided by the US Bureau of Labour Statistics. The findings reveal a paradoxical trend of slowing and, in some cases, declining labour productivity growth in specific sectors of the American economy. Our research hypothesis focuses on the paradox created by employers valuing employees’ time as a continuously acquired resource, resulting in increased “meaningless work”. This leads to stagnant labour productivity, requiring longer working hours as a solution. Empirical evidence confirms our hypothesis: in sectors involving material production and socially significant services, the limits of labour intensity and effort play a big role in reducing overall labour productivity. This happens independently of factors like capital and technology. On the other hand, in most commercial sectors like trade and various services, labour productivity steadily grows. These sectors efficiently use both intensive and extensive aspects of human effort per unit of time worked. The adverse impact of the proliferation of “meaningless work” is particularly noticeable in socially significant service industries, in the transport and warehousing sector in the United States. Through an examination of labour productivity trends across different sectors of the US economy, this study sheds light on the prospects of harnessing human potential within the context of structural adjustments.

Pulmonary emphysema is a complex heterogeneous pathology. Regardless of the causes of its occurrence, it is characterized by a decrease in the elastic properties of the lung tissue, the destruction of the alveolar walls, their capillary network, and an increase in the air space of the lungs distal to the terminal bronchioles. Oxidative stress is considered one of the key mechanisms of the pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema, therefore research on the use of cytoflavin, the components of which are natural metabolites of the body with antioxidant properties, is relevant in experimental pulmonary emphysema. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of cytoflavin on the oxidant- antioxidant system of blood in experimental pulmonary emphysema. Materials and methods. Experimental papain pulmonary emphysema in white rats was reproduced by a single intratracheal injection of 0,5 ml of papain solution (Merck KGaA, Germany) at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight under light ether anesthesia. The study was conducted on four groups of animals. The 1st group — intact animals, the 2nd group — intact animals treated with cytoflavin, the 3rd — with experimental pulmonary emphysema, the 4th group — animals with pulmonary emphysema treated with cytoflavin. Cytoflavin succinate in a dose of 100 mg/kg (1 ml/kg) daily was administered to animals intraperitoneally for 21 days. The amount of malondialdehyde, catalase activity and ceruloplasmin content in the blood of the studied animals were determined. Results. It was found that in pulmonary emphysema, the content of malondialdehyde in the blood of experimental animals was 18,63 % higher than in healthy animals. In animals with pulmonary emphysema, the activity of catalase and the content of ceruloplasmin in the blood were lower than in the group of intact animals by 29,2 % and 19,8 %, respectively. In animals with pulmonary emphysema, the use of cytoflavin led to a decrease of malondialdehyde concentration, and also contributed to the restoration of the catalase activity and the content of ceruloplasmin in the blood to the level of intact animals. Conclusion. Cytoflavin led to the suppression of free radical oxidation, to an increase in antioxidant activity and a decrease in endogenous intoxication in experimental pulmonary emphysema. Key words: pulmonary emphysema, oxidant and antioxidant systems, experiment.

The aim was to compare the effectiveness of the use of “classical”, video-assisted, video-thoracoscopic pleurectomy with lung decortication in pleural disease in patients with tuberculosis with multiple/extensive drug resistance (MDR/EDR–TB) and to justify the optimal terms of application of these surgical interventions in accordance with the pathological process. Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 168 patients with pleural disease in patients with tuberculosis with MDR/EDR–TB in the Department of Thoracic Surgery and Invasive Diagnostic Methods of the National Institute of Phthisiology and Pulmonology named after F. G. Yanovsky of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine during 2006–2023. The operated patients were divided into four groups: Group I — 47 (28.0 %) patients who were operated on using “classic” pleurectomy with lung decortication using wide thoracotomy (“Classic” PE with DC); group II — 43 (25.6 %) patients who were operated on using video-assisted pleurectomy with lung decortication (VATS PE with DC); group III — 54 (32.1%) patients who were operated on using video thoracoscopic pleurectomy with lung decortication (VTS PE with DC); group IV — 24 (14.3%) patients who were operated on using “classical” pleurectomy with lung decortication and resection of the part of the lung parenchyma affected by the pathological process (Lung resection with PE with DC). Results and discussion. The overall effectiveness of surgery was 96,4 %, mortality — 1,2 %, morbidity — 10,1 %. In the early stages of the disease less invasive intervention should be preferred. In case of challenge to perform standard parietal pleurectomy with decortication of the lung, operation should start with videothoracoscopic revision. In certain cases, conversion to minithoracotomy using video-assisted decortication of the lung or wide lateral thoracotomy with the performance of “classic” pleurectomy decortication of the lung could be performed. When disease lasts less then 4 weeks, videothoracoscopic parietal pleurectomy with decortication of the lung achieves better results, and later wide thoracotomy with pleurectomy and decortication of the lung or video-assisted pleurectomy and decortication of the lung can be applied. Key words: pleurectomy with decortication, video-assisted pleurectomy, videothoracoscopic pleurectomy.

Aim: to study the impact of COVID-19 on the course of bronchial asthma in children. Materials and methods. 45 children with asthma who suffered from COVID-19 were included in the study. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed by PCR-test or rapid antigen test. The age of the children was 5 to 17 years, the average age was 10.87 ± 1.34 years. Results. In 31.1% of examined children, COVID-19 was asymptomatic. After recovery from COVID-19, the frequency of asthma daytime symptoms increased by 3 times, being noted in 13.3% of children. The need to use short-term β2-agonists increased by 2.5 times, being recorded in 11.1% of patients. Most of the spirometry indicators were increased in children before COVID-19, but did not differ significantly in children of both groups (p > 0.05). A significant decrease in the MEF25 was noted in children after recovery from COVID-19 (70.72 ± 5.12 vs. 90.82 ± 9.94, p < 0.05). In patients after recovery from COVID-19, a positive postbronchodilator test (change of FEV1 ≥ 12.0%) was found more frequently (6.7% vs 15.5%), the average increase in FEV1 value was 1.4 times higher (5.14 ± 1.24 versus 7.32 ± 1.67, p > 0.05). Conclusion. COVD-19 in children with asthma had a mild or asymptomatic course. Collected data may suggest the impact COVID-19 on asthma control in children and appearance of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in post-COVID-19 period. Key words: asthma, children, COVID-19, asthma control.
MRPL37 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that mitochondrial ribosomal protein L37, encoded by MRPL37, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. MRPL37 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of MRPL37 in primary tumors was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of MRPL37 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that activator of HSP90 ATPase activity 1, encoded by AHSA1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. AHSA1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of AHSA1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of AHSA1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

The era of technological disruption is marked by massive use of digital services and devices which always require submission of personal data free of charge. Digital companies can use personal data to identify behavior of their users freely without supervision. This is exacerbated by vulnerability of personal data protection due to hacking, mining or misuse of personal data, as happened with Facebook, Yahoo, Tokopedia, Bukalapak. In this phase, government has to active to provide protection which in Indonesian context is realized through formation of PDP Act as mandated by 1945 Constitution of Indonesia. This research intends to examine importance of PDP Act and its developments in Indonesia for digital society protection. This normative-empirical research uses primary data (observations and interviews) and secondary data (regulation searches and textual literature) that are processed qualitatively by content analysis. The idea of protecting personal data originates from recognition of the right to privacy that has developed and been institutionalized in various legal documents, both national, regional and international. In Indonesia, prior to enactment of PDP Act, personal data protection arrangements were scattered sporadically and sectoral which caused personal data protection to not be optimal. PDP Act complements and refines previous regulations to provide certainty for protection of personal data in Indonesia. The existence of PDP Act gives important meaning as a manifestation of state's commitment to provide protection, guarantee order and security of digital society, optimize law enforcement and reform personal data processing practices and encourage changes in society's culture to respect personal data.
