Educating the New Soviet Man: Propagated Image and Hidden Resistance in Soviet Latvia
Authors: Ķestere Iveta , Fernández González Manuel Joaquín
Published: November 2021

The New Soviet Man has been studied primarily from the perspective of its creators, propagators of Communist ideology, while the recipients of the New Soviet Man project and its immediate end users, namely pupils and teachers were largely ignored. Hence, the present research, while capturing and utilizing the experience of Soviet Latvia from 1945 to 1985, sets the research questions as to how the image of the New Soviet Man was presented and introduced at schools and how the concept of the New Soviet Man was perceived and utilised by the “objects” of this state contract – teachers and pupils. The research corpus includes 26 textbooks, 265 school photos and 367 student profile records. For the research purposes, four discursive domains of the New Soviet Man project were identified, namely, socio-biological discourse (gender, body, sexuality and health); social discourse (social class); spatial discourse (nationality) and discourse of individuality (personality, character traits). Given that the dictatorship unavoidably engenders the conflict of interests and resistance, the research corpus allowed to detect some tiny openings for the oppressed to express their views, some elements of pupils’ and teachers’ subtle resistance to the creation of the New Soviet Man, by using horizontal solidarity, avoidance, and slipping into the Grey Zone.
Polish Social Pedagogy in the Stalinist Period (1945–1956)
Authors: Jagielska Dominika
Published: November 2021

The social pedagogy is an important, specific part of the Polish pedagogy, with a unique character – since it began to emerge at the end of the 19th century in Polish lands. Although it developed very dynamically in the interwar period, both theoretically and institutionally and in terms of practical activities, after 1945 it experienced some great difficulties in returning to normal functioning in the scientific world, as did all the social sciences, considered by the new communist authorities to be dangerous for the “new” man and the society. The purpose of this article is an attempt to describe the situation of social pedagogy in Poland at the beginning of introduction of political, economic and social changes inspired by the ideology of communism in the so-called Stalinist period, i.e. between 1945 and 1956, with reference to the two currents in which it functioned at that time – one focused around the person and the concept of Helena Radlińska and one created on the borderline of pedagogy and social teaching of the Catholic Church.

Critical thinking (CT) underpins the analytical and systems-thinking capacities needed for effective conservation in the 21st century but is seldom adequately fostered in most postsecondary courses and programs. Many instructors fear that devoting time to process skills will detract from content gains and struggle to define CT skills in ways relevant for classroom practice. We tested an approach to develop and assess CT in undergraduate conservation biology courses using case studies to address both challenges. We developed case studies with exercises to support content learning goals and assessment rubrics to evaluate student learning of both content and CT skills. We also developed a midterm intervention to enhance student metacognitive abilities at a light and intensive level and asked whether the level of the intervention impacted student learning. Data from over 200 students from five institutions showed an increase in students’ CT performance over a single term, under both light and intensive interventions, as well as variation depending on the students’ initial performance and on rubric dimension. Our results demonstrate adaptable and scalable means for instructors to improve CT process skills among undergraduate students through the use of case studies and associated exercises, aligned rubrics, and supported reflection on their CT performance.
Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems
Authors:   SECTION ON TOBACCO CONTROL
Published: November 2021

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are rapidly growing in popularity among youth. ENDS are handheld devices that produce an aerosolized mixture from a solution typically containing concentrated nicotine, flavoring chemicals, and propylene glycol to be inhaled by the user. ENDS are marketed under a variety of names, most commonly electronic cigarettes and e-cigarettes. In 2014, more youth reported using ENDS than any other tobacco product. ENDS pose health risks to both users and nonusers. Nicotine, the major psychoactive ingredient in ENDS solutions, is both highly addictive and toxic. In addition to nicotine, other toxicants, carcinogens, and metal particles have been detected in solutions and aerosols of ENDS. Nonusers are involuntarily exposed to the emissions of these devices with secondhand and thirdhand aerosol. The concentrated and often flavored nicotine in ENDS solutions poses a poisoning risk for young children. Reports of acute nicotine toxicity from US poison control centers have been increasing, with at least 1 child death reported from unintentional exposure to a nicotine-containing ENDS solution. With flavors, design, and marketing that appeal to youth, ENDS threaten to renormalize and glamorize nicotine and tobacco product use. There is a critical need for ENDS regulation, legislative action, and counter promotion to protect youth. ENDS have the potential to addict a new generation of youth to nicotine and reverse more than 50 years of progress in tobacco control.

Authors: Nguyen Trang , Dennison Barbara A. , Fan Wei , Xu Changning , Birkhead Guthrie S.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES

We examined the variation between 126 New York hospitals in formula supplementation among breastfed infants after adjusting for socioeconomic, maternal, and infant factors and stratifying by level of perinatal care.

METHODS

We used 2014 birth certificate data for 160 911 breastfed infants to calculate hospital-specific formula supplementation percentages by using multivariable hierarchical logistic regression models.

RESULTS

Formula supplementation percentages varied widely among hospitals, from 2.3% to 98.3%, and was lower among level 1 hospitals (18.2%) than higher-level hospitals (50.6%–57.0%). Significant disparities in supplementation were noted for race and ethnicity (adjusted odds ratios [aORs] were 1.54–2.05 for African Americans, 1.85–2.74 for Asian Americans, and 1.25–2.16 for Hispanics, compared with whites), maternal education (aORs were 2.01–2.95 for ≤12th grade, 1.74–1.85 for high school or general education development, and 1.18–1.28 for some college or a college degree, compared with a Master’s degree), and insurance coverage (aOR was 1.27–1.60 for Medicaid insurance versus other). Formula supplementation was higher among mothers who smoked, had a cesarean delivery, or diabetes. At all 4 levels of perinatal care, there were exemplar hospitals that met the HealthyPeople 2020 supplementation goal of ≤14.2%. After adjusting for individual risk factors, the hospital-specific, risk-adjusted supplemental formula percentages still revealed a wide variation.

CONCLUSIONS

A better understanding of the exemplar hospitals could inform future efforts to improve maternity care practices and breastfeeding support to reduce unnecessary formula supplementation, reduce disparities, increase exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding duration, and improve maternal and child health outcomes.
Weapon Carrying Among Victims of Bullying
Authors: Pham Tammy B. , Schapiro Lana E. , John Majnu , Adesman Andrew
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES

To examine, in a large, nationally representative sample of high school students, the association between bullying victimization and carrying weapons to school and to determine to what extent past experience of 1, 2, or 3 additional indicators of peer aggression increases the likelihood of weapon carrying by victims of bullying (VoBs).

METHODS

National data from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey were analyzed for grades 9 to 12 (N = 15624). VoB groups were determined by self-report of being bullied at school and additional adverse experiences: fighting at school, being threatened or injured at school, and skipping school out of fear for one’s safety. Weapon carrying was measured by a dichotomized (ie, ≥ 1 vs 0) report of carrying a gun, knife, or club on school property. VoB groups were compared with nonvictims with respect to weapon carrying by logistic regression adjusting for sex, grade, and race/ethnicity.

RESULTS

When surveyed, 20.2% of students reported being a VoB in the past year, and 4.1% reported carrying a weapon to school in the past month. VoBs experiencing 1, 2, or 3 additional risk factors were successively more likely to carry weapons to school. The subset of VoBs who experienced all 3 additional adverse experiences were more likely to carry weapons to school compared with nonvictims (46.4% vs 2.5%, P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS

Pediatricians should recognize that VoBs, especially those who have experienced 1 or more indicators of peer aggression in conjunction, are at substantially increased risk of weapon carrying.
Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Women: Closing the Gap
Authors: Thakkar Aarti , Agarwala Anandita , Michos Erin D
Published: November 2021

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in women globally. Younger women (<55 years of age) who experience MI are less likely to receive guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), have a greater likelihood of readmission and have higher rates of mortality than similarly aged men. Women have been under-represented in CVD clinical trials, which limits the generalisability of results into practice. Available evidence indicates that women derive a similar benefit as men from secondary prevention pharmacological therapies, such as statins, ezetimibe, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors, icosapent ethyl, antiplatelet therapy, sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. Women are less likely to be enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation programs than men. Mitigating risk and improving outcomes is dependent on proper identification of CVD in women, using appropriate GDMT and continuing to promote lifestyle modifications. Future research directed at advancing our understanding of CVD in women will allow us to further develop and tailor CVD guidelines appropriate by sex and to close the gap between diagnoses, treatment and mortality.
Efficacy of using a complex of minerals and vitamins for prevention of complications in bone tissue and the digestive tract in rats with hypothyroidism
Authors: Makarenko O. A. , Zaderei O. V. , Maikova H. V.
Published: November 2021

Significant consequences of hypothyroidism are impairments in all types of metabolism, including bone metabolism, pathological changes in the digestive tract and the development of deficiency of vitamins, macro-and micronutrients.The relevance of the study is due to the widespread occurrence of hypothyroidism and the feasibility of developing effective methods for the prevention of the pathology and its complications. The study was aimed at the condition of bone tissue and digestive tract in rats with hypothyroidism, as well as the effectiveness of preventive addition of a complex of vitamins and minerals. The studies were performed on rats with hypothyroidism that was caused using thyrostatic mercazolyl for 50 days, administered orally. Prophylaxis was performed by adding a prophylactic complex of vitamins P, C, D and minerals Ca, Mg, Cu, Se, Mn to the daily diet. In the bone tissue of rats, the indicators of destruction (elastase and acid phosphatase activity) and mineralization (alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium content) as well as the antioxidant state (activities of catalase, glutathione reductase, malonic dialdehyde content) were studied. In the gums and mucous membranes of the digestive tract of rats, we determined indicators of antioxidant status (catalase activity, malonic dialdehydecontent), inflammation (activities of elastase, acid phosphatase) and dysbiosis (activities of urease activity, lysozyme). In the bone tissue of rats with hypothyroidism, activation of destruction processes, reduction of calcium levels, activation of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes were found. Hypothyroidism also led to pathological disorders in the gums of rats and gastric mucosa, small and large intestine, namely – the development of inflammation, increased membrane permeability, activation of lipid peroxidation, increased contamination with opportunistic bacteria against the background of reduced antioxidant protection. In general, preventive use of the complex contributed to the normalization of the studied parameters in the gums, mucous membranes of the stomach, intestines, as well as remodeling processes and antioxidant-prooxidative state in the bone tissue of animals with hypothyroidism. In the conditions of hypothyroidism, the proposed complex of vitamins and minerals provided notable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antidysbiotic effects in the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract, thus overcoming the calcium deficiency in the blood and stopping the destructive and oxidative processes in the bone tissue of animals with hypothyroidism.

I tre soggiorni a Padova di Stanisław Niegoszewski (1565-post 1600)
Authors:   Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Malinowski Gościwit
Published: November 2021

Stanisław Niegoszewski (1565-post-1600) was a prime example of a Renaissance man: he was a student at the universities of Krakow and Padua; a poet-improviser; an alchemist; a courtier of King Sigismund Vasa III; a diplomat; a devout follower of the Counter-Reformation; and a businessman. He divided his life between Poland and Italy, and his biography is known to us so fragmentarily that some scholars reconstruct his life based on instinct, assumptions, personal preference, or unfounded hypotheses. Henryk Barycz, the eminent scholar and author of entries in the Polish Biographical Dictionary, had divided the deeds and works of one Stanisław Niegoszewski into two different persons: “Stanisław Niegoszewski (Niegoszowski), coat of arms of Jastrzębiec (circa 1560-5 - circa 1588-90),” a student at the universities of Krakow and Padua and a poet-improviser, and “Stanisław Niegoszewski (Niegoszowski), coat of arms of Jastrzębiec (circa 1565-70 - after 1607),” an alchemist, courtier of King Sigismund Vasa III, diplomat, devout follower of the CounterReformation, and poet as well. Although Władysław Magnuszewski proved wrong Barycz’s theory about the existence of two Niegoszewskis nearly a half-century ago, the outdated theory is repeated by new generations of scholars again and again. This paper attempts to prove that all three sojourns in Padua of a certain Niegoszewski—as a student in 1582-1583, as an alchemist in 1585, and as a royal diplomat in 1594—belong to the same person. Based on new sources found in Italian archives and libraries in 2013, the biography of a single Stanisław Niegoszewski could be reconstructed with much more detail than before.
Le lettere di Tomasz Kajetan Węgierski scritte durante il viaggio del 1779 attraverso il Veneto
Authors:   Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Kowalczyk Małgorzata Ewa
Published: November 2021

In the rich prose of Tomasz Kajetan Węgierski (1755-1787), a talented poet and satirist, a special place is occupied by a French-language diary. This diary was in the form of letters written during a journey around Italy in 1779. His recipient was a certain Julia, a friend and lover of the poet living in Paris. His letters survived in the Manuscript Section of the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow, though, unfortunately, as an incomplete copy only: just seven letters, written in November and December from Verona, Vicenza, Padua, and Venice, have been preserved entirely. We also have the beginning of an eighth letter, written from Venice. Furthermore, we have the poet’s comments on several missing letters, four of which refer to the city on the lagoon and one to Ferrara. There is also a fragment of a letter from Rome devoted to the catacombs. From its content, we learn that the poet intended to return to the city of St. Mark to see the wedding ceremony of the Venetian Republic with the sea. The aim of this article is to present the motivations that prompted the poet to leave the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, as well as to analyse his impressions from his trip around Veneto. It is worth noting that this region was only a stage, though a very important one, on the poet’s route leading to the capital of the Papal States. This Italian region fascinated, surprised, and shocked the Pole, and in his notes, which are full of anecdotes and jokes, we find extensive descriptions of the history and culture of Verona, Vicenza, Padua, and Venice. Also included are more-detailed characteristics of the inhabitants and their customs, as well as all kinds of information about everyday life on the road. Węgierski’s narrative, though different in many respects from the travel descriptions of his predecessors, is quite typical of the century in which he lived.

ABSTRACT This study aims to evaluate the effect of an exercise with a 2D virtual reality session on the cognition and cortical activity of young males. This is a randomized controlled trial with ten men aged 18 to 23 years. They were randomly assigned under two conditions: 1) exercise session with 2D virtual reality games and 2) control, which consisted of watching a two-episode video of a comic TV show. Cognition and frontal cortical activity were assessed immediately before and after the intervention, using the Mindset, performing the Digit Span Test, semantic verbal fluency, and executive function. Executive function improved with the exergame session (p=0.025). Exergames partially promote an immediate increase in the executive function of young people.

Published: November 2021

Yazılım Tanımlı Ağlar (SDN) ve Ağ Fonksiyonlarını Sanallaştırma (NFV) tabanlı 5G ağlarında güvenlik; saldırı tespit sistemi ve güvenlik duvarı gibi güvenlik fonksiyonlarının NFV ile sanallaştırılması ve birer yazılım haline getirilerek SDN mimarisindeki genel amaçlı sunucular üzerinde çalıştırılması ile sağlanmaktadır. 5G ağlarında, sanal ağ güvenliği fonksiyonları (VNSF) tarafından işlenen trafik akışlarının farklı güvenlik gereksinimleri olabilmektedir. Öte yandan her ağda, güvenlik sağlanırken göz önünde bulundurulması gereken ve ağın ihtiyaçlarına göre farklılık gösteren bir takım operasyonel amaçlar (maliyetin ez aza indirgenmesi, yük dengeleme yapılması vb.) vardır. Bu nedenle, ağın güvenlik gereksinimlerini ve operasyonel amaçlarını göz önünde bulundurarak VNSF’lerin yerleştirilmesi ele alınması gereken önemli bir problemdir. Bu doğrultuda, bu çalışma kapsamında, trafik akışı bazında güvenlik gereksinimleri göz önünde bulundurularak, VNSF’lerin enerji etkin bir biçimde yerleştirilmesi ve trafiğin ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda bu fonksiyonlar üzerinden yönlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, enerji tüketimini en aza indirgemeyi hedefleyen bir sezgisel algoritma önerilmiştir. Ayrıca, geliştirilen yaklaşımın SDN tabanlı 5G altyapısında uygulanabilirliğini göstermek için sezgisel algoritmanın aldığı kararlar doğrultusunda ağa gelen trafik akışlarını yönlendiren yeni bir SDN kontrolcüsü geliştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, geliştirilen algoritmanın, enerji tüketimini %48’e kadar azalttığı ve geliştirilen SDN kontrolcüsünün ağa gelen trafiği toplam bant genişliği, uçtan uca gecikme ve paket kayıp oranı gibi hizmet kalitesi parametreleri açısından etkin bir şekilde yönlendirebildiği görülmüştür.

Background: The environmental risk factors of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are not fully specified. Regarding the evidence on the possible protective effects of whole grains and legumes against inflammatory disorders, we examined the association between the mentioned dietary components and NMOSD.
Methods: 70 patients with NMOSD with definite diagnosis and 164 hospital-based controls were included in this case-control investigation. Data on demographic, clinical, and anthropometric characteristics were collected. Dietary habits of participants were assessed using a previously validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) containing 168 food items. Daily intakes of whole grains and legumes were calculated and classified in quartiles. The odds of suffering from NMOSD according to the quartiles of whole grains and legumes were measured in the form of logistic regression models.
Results: The mean amount of whole grains (115.29 vs. 44.14 g) and legumes (59.43 vs. 34.50 g) consumption was significantly higher in the control group versus the case group. There was a reverse association between whole grains or legumes and NMOSD odds

Published: November 2021

Objective: Performing basic life support (BLS) in patients with cardiopulmonary arrest decreases mortality and morbidity. In addition, BLS knowledge is a prerequisite for medical graduation. The present study was conducted to determine the awareness level of undergraduate medical students in Jordan regarding BLS and background knowledge.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between 17 April 2021 and 12 May 2021. A validated questionnaire was used as an online Google form and was posted in all medical student groups and Jordanian universities through various social medias. We categorized level of awareness into two groups: adequate awareness for those who got 60% or more, and inadequate awareness for those who got less than 60% in BLS test. Chi-square test was used to compare different variables.
Results: A total of 886 students with a mean age of 21.5 (± 2.2) years completed the survey, including 552 females (62.3%). Among participated students, only 281 (31.7%) had adequate awareness, whereas 605 (68.3%) had inadequate awareness, with a mean score of 10 (± 3.8) out of 20. Surprisingly, there was no statistically significant correlation (P=0.210) between grade point average (GPA) and awareness level among participated students. On the contrary, we detected statistically significant relationships (P<0.001) between various variables and awareness level.
Conclusion: Overall, we found that awareness of BLS among medical students in Jordan is not adequate. We can improve the awareness of medical students in this regard through obligating them to educate the general population, especially school students, as a volunteer campaign.
INDICATORS OF CHEMODESTRUCTIVE FRACTIONATION OF ORGANIC MATTER SOILS OF NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC-TRANSFORMED LANDSCAPES OF THE SOUTH OF PRIMORYE
Authors: Purtova Lyudmila N.
Published: November 2021

The differences in the qualitative composition of organic matter in the soils of natural and anthropogenically transformed landscapes in the south of Primorye were established by the method of chemodestructive fractionation (CDF). The lowest indices of the easily oxidizable part (EOP) in the organic matter are typical for soils of technogenic landscapes (embryozems) with very low humus content due to low reserves of aboveground phytomass and the supply of fresh organic matter of plant origin. Embryozems are characterized by a low supply of humus with nitrogen. Higher EOP values are characteristic of soils of natural landscapes (burozems) with average humus content. In burozems, oxidative and eluvial processes are balanced by humus formation. In the soils of agrogenic landscapes (agro-dark-humus podbeles, agro-dark-humus gley soils) with low humus content, the proportion of EOP decreased and, at the same time, the proportion of the hardly oxidized part in the composition of soil organic matter increased. Some increase in EOP was recorded in agro-dark-humus gley soils with rump crops, which is associated with the intensification of the transformation processes of organic matter and the transition of organic matter from the difficult-to-oxidize to the easily oxidized part. Based on the data obtained on the qualitative composition of organic matter, the CDF method implies that in the soils of natural landscapes (burozems), the proportion of EOP exceeded that in comparison with soils of agrogenic (agro-dark-humus podbely, agro-dark-humus gley) and technogenic landscapes (em-briozems). This indicates differences in the conditions of soil formation and the ongoing oxidative and humus-forming processes.
LONG-TERM VARIABILITY OF THE ION RUNOFF OF LARGE RIVERS IN THE ARCTIC ZONE OF RUSSIA
Authors: Reshetnyak Olga S.
Published: November 2021

Studies of river ion runoff and its temporal variability are important. It affects coastal waters and is interrelated with climatic changes in the Arctic region. Long-term data on the chemical runoff of macrocomponents (chlorides, sulfates, hydrocarbonates, calcium and magnesium ions) at the outlet sections of large Arctic rivers in Russia - Pechora, Usa, Yenisei, Ob, Pur, Taz, Lena, Yana and Kolyma are given. The values of volumes and modules of chemical runoff were calculated on the basis of long-term (1980-2018) hydrological and hydrochemical information from the state observation system of Roshydrom-et. It is shown that the change in the absolute values of the chemical runoff is consistent with the water inflow. Greatest contribution to the ionic runoff is made by hydrocarbonates. The intra-annual change in the water inflow and the macrocomponents runoff occurs synchronously. There is a decisive role of water runoff in the formation of chemical runoff from the catchments of large Arctic rivers. Comparison of the chemical runoff modulus indicator made it possible to classify them into low, medium or high ionic runoff rivers. It was found that the maximum runoff of macrocomponents occurs from the catchment of the Usa river. It is may be due to active processes of chemical denudation and climate change.

El proceso lector, entendido como el desarrollo de todas aquellas actividades básicas y fundamentales para poder decodificar, inferir, interpretar y valorar los mensajes escritos, es fundamental para la comunicación. Para los estudiantes sordos se constituye en una habilidad muy importante que les permite comunicarse con sus pares oyentes y acceder al conocimiento. En el estudio se analizó el blog como recurso formativo que apoya el proceso de comprensión lectora en estudiantes sordos de grado noveno de una institución educativa distrital de Barranquilla. En el marco de un enfoque cualitativo de corte histórico hermenéutico, se contó con la participación de estudiantes sordos y docentes para realizar un diagnóstico. Los resultados demuestran las dificultades de los estudiantes sordos en cuanto a la comprensión lectora y la importancia del uso de recursos mediados por tecnologías y multimedia en la motivación y aprendizaje de la lectura. A partir de este diagnóstico se elaboró una propuesta tecnopedagógica consolidada en un blog, el cual fue valorado por jueces expertos y mediante una prueba piloto, lo que propició una versión 2.0. Se sugiere su implementación y estudios futuros.

Objective: This paper reports first results from a survey of 992 parents and parents to be living in an ethnically diverse and socio-economically unequal borough of East London during the coronavirus pandemic that reduced mobility, closed services and threatened public health.

Background: Little is known about the place based impacts of the pandemic on families with young children. We describe the living circumstances of families with children under five or expecting a baby living in Tower Hamlets during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and then examine the relative importance of household characteristics such as ethnicity and household income for adverse impacts on survey respondents, as seen in mental health outcomes.

Method: a community survey sample recruited with support from the local council comprised 75% mothers/pregnant women, 25% fathers/partners of pregnant women. Reflecting the borough population, 35 percent were White British or Irish and 36 percent were Bangladeshi, and the remainder were from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. Adopting an assets based approach, we describe material, familial and community assets using three household income bands and seven ethnic groups. We then use regressions to identify which assets were most important in mitigating adversity.

Results: We find that material assets (income, employment, food insecurity, housing quality) were often insecure and in decline but familial assets (home caring practices, couple relationships) were largely sustained. Community assets (informal support, service provision) were less available or means of access had changed. Our analyses find that while descriptively ethnicity structured adverse impacts of the pandemic related changes to family life, income and couple relationships were the most important assets for mitigating adversity as seen in mental health status.

Conclusion: Supporting family assets will require close attention to generating local and decent work as well as enhancing access to community assets.

This study aimed to obtain data on the use and utilization of peatlands that the government has provided to meet their daily needs. Peatlands, which are very difficult to manage, challenge transmigrant communities to turn them into productive land. The method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach to reveal the facts in the field. Data collection used interviews, document studies, and direct observation of the field. Based on the data, it is known that the transmigrant community used peatland for mixed gardens, with 1010 plots of land used for seasonal crops (vegetables, oranges and rice) and perennials (rubber, oil palm and coconut), 480 plots of land were for settlements, and as many as 32 plots of land were used for mosques, cemeteries and schools. This data was obtained from the National Land Agency (BPN) Kab. Barito Kuala, interviews, and direct observations with the people who cultivate the land. The results obtained explain that the use of peatlands by transmigrants was certainly an illustration that peatlands could still be used as productive and comfortable land to be used as settlements/residences and for community livelihoods. With proper management, the use of peatland would provide great benefits, not only for the present but also for the future.Keywords: Peatlands; Transmigran Community; Utilization Penelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh data mengenai penggunaan dan pemanfaatkan lahan gambut yang telah diberikan oleh pemerintah guna memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Lahan gambut yang notabennya sangat sulit dikelola menjadi tantangan bagi masyarakat transmigran untuk menjadikannya lahan produktif. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif  untuk mengungkap fakta yang terdapat di lapangan. Pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik wawancara, studi dokumen, dan observasi langsung ke lapangan. Berdasarkan data yang diperoleh diketahui bahwa masyarakat transmigran menggunakan lahan bergambut untuk kebun campuran yaitu sebanyak 1010 bidang tanah digunakan untuk tanaman musiman (sayuran, jeruk dan padi) dan tanaman keras (karet, sawit dan kelapa), 480 bidang tanah untuk permukiman, dan sebanyak 32 bidang tanah yang digunakan untuk masjid/langgar, kuburan, dan sekolah. Data ini diperoleh dari Badan Pertanahan Nasional (BPN) Kabupaten Barito Kuala, wawancara, dan observasi langsung dengan masyarakat yang mengolahan lahan tersebut. Hasil yang diperoleh  menerangkan bahwa penggunaan lahan bergambut oleh masyarakat transmigran tentu menjadi gambaran bahwa lahan gambut masih bisa dijadikan lahan yang produktif dan nyaman untuk dijadikan permukiman/tempat tinggal serta untuk penghidupan masyarakat. Dengan pengolahan yang tepat, pemanfaatan lahan bergambut dapat bermanfaat dengan baik secara berkelanjutan.Kata Kunci: Lahan Gambut; Masyarakat Transmigran; Pemanfaatan

Background Liver metastasis is an important cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer(CRC). Increasing evidences indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal with liver metastasis(CRLM). This study aims to explore potential miRNA–mRNA regulatory network. Methods The GEO database download the microarray datasets GSE56350 and GSE73178. GEO2R was used to conduct differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) between CRC and CRLM. The common miRNAs appeared in the two datasets. The transcription factors were predicted by FunRich and miRNet. Then, GO and KEGG pathway analysis for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) performed via DAVID. Besides, these hub genes network was used the STRING and identified by Cytoscape. Finally, the expression of the hub gene expression was used to assess by the GSE81558.Results Four DEMs were selected in the datasets. The SP1 was likely to adjust the up-regulated DEMs, however, the YY1 could regulate both up-regulated and down-regulated DEMs. The total of the 3925 genes were predicted( 3447 up-regulated DEM genes and 478 down-regulated DEM genes). These predicted genes were mainly linked to Platinum drug resistance, Cellular senescence and ErbB signaling pathway. Through the gene network construction, most of the hub genes were modulated by hsa-miR-204-5p, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-95-3p and hsa-miR-552-3p. Among the top 20 hub genes, the expression of CREB1, RHOA and EGFR was significantly different in the GSE81558 dataset.Conclusion In this study, miRNA-mRNA in CRLM were screened between CRC patients and CRLM patients to provide a new method to predict for the pathogenesis and development of CRC.
