Background: Frequent seizure is followed by overproduction of free radicals and brain oxidative stress. Renin angiotensin system (RAS) has some effects on central nervous system. We designed this research to challenge the effect of captopril as an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor against brain oxidative stress in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) -induced seizures in mice. Methods: The groups were including (1) Control (saline); (2) PTZ (100 mg/kg, i.p.), (3-5) PTZ- captopril (Capto) that received three doses of Capto 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg 30 min before PTZ injection. Latency time in the onset minimal clonic seizures (MCS) and generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) were recorded. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and total thiol, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity in the hippocampus and cortex were measured. Results: All doses of captopril postponed the onset of MCS and GTCS. Accumulation of MDA in the brain tissues of PTZ group was higher than control group, while total thiol content and CAT activity were lower. Pretreatment with captopril (100 mg/kg) diminished MDA concentration compared with PTZ group. Captopril (50 and 100 mg/kg) also increased the level of total thiol groups versus PTZ group. Captopril injection (50 and 100 mg/kg) elevated the activity of SOD and CAT in the brain tissues. In addition captopril administration diminished mortality rate caused by PTZ. Conclusion: Findings demonstrated that convulsions caused by PTZ were followed by oxidative stress status in the brain tissues. Pretreatment with captopril attenuated the effect of PTZ on brain tissue oxidative damage.

Background: This study evaluated the possible protective effects of Gordonia bronchialis (Gb) on oxidative stress and some subsequent alterations on testis from rats undergoing an experimentally induced type 1 diabetes. Methods: A total of 40 male rats were randomly divided into four groups of ten. Diabetes was induced by injection of 55 mg/kg streptozotocin in 30 rats. Oral administration of Gb at dose of 105 (low dose) and 107 (high dose) CFU/rat was performed in two groups continuously for 14 days. The third and fourth groups received normal saline as the diabetic and healthy control groups, respectively. The blood and testicular tissue samples were taken on the 14th and 21st days post treatment for biochemical and histopathological evaluations. Results: Significant differences were found in blood glucose level, insulin, IL-6 and TNF-α values together with catalase and superoxide dismutase activities and malondialdehyde level in the diabetic group in comparison with healthy and Gb recipient groups. Moreover, the histopathological lesions observed in the diabetic rats mainly included basement membrane thickening, decreased number of Sertoli cells, and severe reduction of spermatogenesis markedly attenuated in Gb-treated rats. Conclusion: Taken together, it seems that oral administration of Gb could ameliorate testicular damage associated with some related parameters in the diabetic animal model.

Published: October 2019

Background : Advanced novel therapies and antiretroviral medications for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have led to the improved management and survival of the infected patients. However, I [i]t manifestations in late-stage diseases such as cardiac deformities, which are the major cause of fatality in HIV-infected patients. Hence the current study was undertaken to derive the association of cardiac dysfunctions in HIV-infected patients using electrocardiograph (ECG)and echocardiography (ECHO).Methodology : The study included a total of 100 consecutive patients with HIV infection and was performed during January–December 2016 in the Department of General Medicine. Prior to the commencement of the study, ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Patients underwent complete blood count, ECG, and ECHO. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and R-3.4.1 software.Results : Majority of the patients were males (79) and 40–49 years was the most common age group. The duration of HIV infection in most of the patients (73) was 1–10 years. Among the study population, 79 patients received antiretroviral drugs. Chi-square test was used to find the association of clinical symptoms and cardiac abnormalities with CD4 count. Cardiac manifestations were observed in 62% patients; sinus tachycardia (29%) was found to be the most common cardiac manifestation on ECG. Diastolic and systolic dysfunctions were observed in 35 patients and 49 patients, respectively.Conclusion : Patients with HIV infection are at a higher risk of developing cardiac dysfunctions. Early identification through ECG and ECHO-revealed abnormalities might assist in cardiac-targeted interventions, which can significantly reduce the fatal outcomes in HIV-infected patients.

Published: October 2019

Studies demonstrate that post-meal walking decreases postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetic patients but it has never been tested with the active treatment comparator. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of post-meal walking on glycemic control compared with one prandial insulin in type 2 diabetic patients who failed basal insulin. A randomized controlled cross-over study of post-meal walking or one prandial insulin was done in type 2 diabetic patients who were being treated with basal insulin between May 2017 and March 2018. In post-meal walking group, patients walked after meal for 15-20 minutes one meal a day every day for 6 weeks. In prandial insulin (basal-plus) group, one prandial insulin was injected before breakfast or main meal with rapid-acting insulin. The primary outcome was a difference in HbA1c reduction in post-meal walking compared with basal-plus groups. Fourteen patients completed the study. By intention-to-treat analysis, HbA1c was reduced by -0.05(range:-1.08 to 0.74) and -0.19(range:-0.8 to 0.56) % in post-meal walking and basal-plus groups respectively. By per-protocol analysis, post-meal walking and basal-plus groups significantly decreased HbA1c by 0.13(range:-0.74 to 1.08) and 0.26(range:-0.8 to 0.08) %, respectively. There was no significant differences in HbA1c reduction from baseline in each group and between groups in both intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis. Fructosamine levels were decreased by 17.5(-59 to 43) and 10(-15 to 40) µmol/L, respectively at 3 and 6 weeks in post-meal walking group whereas the respective changes in basal-plus group were 12.5(-17 to 64) and 17.5(-28 to 38) µmol/L and there was no significant difference between groups. In conclusion, although post-meal walking might be as effective as one prandial insulin to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients who failed basal insulin but the magnitude of reduction was small. A longer-term study with a larger sample size or with a different walking protocol is required.
Modernization of Conceptual Foundations of Russian Law: Axiology, Logic, Pragmatics
Authors: Przhilenskiy V. I.
Published: October 2019

The article explores the current understanding of the conceptual foundations of Russian Law in the context of possibility of overcoming the values-worldview dichotomy according to the determinations of axiology, logic and pragmatics of the foundations under consideration. Also, the author considers John Rawls’ Theory of Justice taken as the most influential political and legal philosophy of the West, as well as its alternative represented by Eurasian philosophical thought. The article analyzes the ability of the Eurasian understanding of the State and Law to compete with liberalism and John Rawls’ neoconstructivism. Narrowness of both the first and the second alternative is shown and the necessity of taking into account each of the vectors of development of conceptual foundations of modern Russian Law is substantiated.

Authors: Lavrova Olga V. , Kulikov Valery D. , Shapovalova Elena A. , Sablina Anna V.
Published: October 2019

Hypothesis/aims of study. Currently, preeclampsia is one of the most pressing problems of obstetrics due to the complexity of pathogenesis and to the lack of early and reliable diagnostic criteria. The preeclampsia rate in patients with bronchial asthma is proved higher than in asthma free pregnant women. This study aimed to establish the prediction algorithm of preeclampsia development in in pregnant women suffering from bronchial asthma of varying severity and different level of control.

Study design, materials and methods. Asthma duration was studied in 110 pregnant women using the SPSS Discriminant Function Analysis method. Basic therapy and level of asthma control were studied together with respiratory tests, obstetrician medical history, and complications of the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. In addition, serum interleukin panel was assessed and placental Doppler measurement was carried out.

Results. Clinical and statistical analysis made it possible out of 87 significant risk factors for the development of hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia to form a highly informative set of signs for a linear discriminant model for predicting preeclampsia: 1) asthma exacerbation in the first trimester of pregnancy; 2) asthma duration severity; 3) average dose of inhaled glucocorticosteroid drugs administered to the exact patient during pregnancy; 4) serum levels of tumor necrosis factor, interferon gamma, and interleukins-4, 6, and 8.

Conclusion. The inclusion method of step-by-step discriminant analysis allowed establishing a highly informative four-component complex of clinical predictors for preeclampsia development in pregnant women with asthma. The results of the model testing showed its extremely high reliability (up to 100% within study selection as well as within control selection). Thus, the study results can be recommended for clinical use.
Prevention and therapy of threatened preterm birth in multiple pregnancy
Authors: Kosyakova Olga V. , Bespalova Olesya N.
Published: October 2019

Preterm birth in multiple pregnancy is an important medical, economic and social problem. Currently, more than half of twins are born prematurely, which puts them at high risk of developing neonatal diseases causing lifelong disability and social maladjustment. In this regard, reducing the frequency of preterm multiple births is an important task of modern obstetrics. Improving perinatal outcomes of multiple pregnancies can only be achieved using the most effective measures that have a good evidence base. At the same time, numerous studies on the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions aimed at prolonging multiple pregnancies have reported contradictory results. This review included most of the randomized controlled trials of methods for the prevention and treatment of threatening preterm birth in multiple pregnancies, as available in PubMed, Google Academy, Elibrary, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Thus far, studies on the use of bed rest, prophylactic tocolysis, most of the progestins, and cervical cerclage in multiple pregnancy have shown no efficacy in reducing the risk of premature birth. However, encouraging data were obtained on improving neonatal outcomes of multiple pregnancies using vaginal progesterone and an obstetric pessary, but these results require additional confirmation in larger multicenter randomized studies. Further clinical trials are needed to develop algorithms for timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of threatened preterm birth in case of multiple pregnancy, including the use of the most rational preventive and therapeutic methods that have a high evidence level.

STUDY OF KYRGYZ-SOUTH KOREAN RELATIONS IN THE YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE OF KYRGYZSTAN
Authors: T. Ormonova Aizharkyn
Published: October 2019

Purpose: This paper examines the degree of the Kyrgyz-South Korean relations study in the works by Kyrgyz and foreign authors (Korea, Europe, and the USA), identifies the problems that have been analyzed before; identifies a range of unexplored issues in these works. Prior to that, there was no any historiographical analysis of the works devoted to the analysis of Kyrgyzstan and South Korea relations studies. Methodology: The paper uses 16 different materials on Kyrgyz-Korean relations from 1998 to 2015. These materials include articles, reports, books that dealt with the relations of Kyrgyzstan and South Korea in the sphere of politics, economics, education, and culture. As well as Korean policies towards Central Asian countries, including Kyrgyzstan. Result: Despite the fact that the Kyrgyz – South Korean relations were being observed in the works of both as by the Kyrgyz and so by the foreign authors, the analysis of the works have shown that the relations between Kyrgyzstan and South Korea in various fields, such as: politics, economics, education, culture, as well as interests in cooperation between the two countries are studied quite weakly. For example, there are no special monographs devoted to the Kyrgyzstan and Korea relations study. Consequently, these issues have remained the subject for further study and it is needed to make more researches in this area. Applications: This research can be used for the universities, teachers and education students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of the study of Kyrgyz-south Korean relations in the years of independence of Kyrgyzstan is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

Published: October 2019

Background: In the Russian Federation, newborn screening comprises thyroid stimulating hormone determination to exclude primary congenital hypothyroidism. Screening is carried out throughout Russia. Neonatal TSH can be used to assess iodine deficiency and monitor iodine prevention programs.

Objective: To assess and compare official statistical data on congenital hypothyroidism, the prevalence of hypothyroidism and iodine deficiency syndrome in children, as well as urinary iodine in the Russian regions.

Materials and methods: The level of neonatal TSH was determined in 97.69% of children born in the Russian Federation in 2017. This article represents the results on the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the regions with various iodine availability. The correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship of CH incidence in newborns and iodine availability.

Results: The calculated correlation coefficient, which was 0.2, reflects a weak relationship between the degree of iodine deficiency in the region and the number of newborns diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism.

Conclusions: In the Russian Federation, a law on universal salt iodization does not exist, and many regions are still in conditions of moderate or severe iodine deficiency. To assess the iodine status in these particular regions, we could use the results of newborn TSH screening

Published: October 2019

According to the data of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global food losses are about one third of their total output, mainly due to spoilage. Therefore, a search for safe methods of shelf life extension is an important task, especially for products for specialized nutrition. According to literature data, natural antioxidants can be alternative to existing preservatives due to its ability to inhibit oxidation of the main nutrients. Pulp, seeds and peel of quince, apple «Simirenko», feijoa, persimmon, Jerusalem artichoke, white, red and yellow onion were objects of the study. The total antioxidant capacity was determined by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) methods and expressed in µmol equiv. Trolox / g of sample and µmol equiv. Dihydroquercetin / g of sample. It was noticed that peels demonstrated higher antioxidant activity, and red onion husk possessed the highest value, which was 722.8 ± 13.9 µmol equiv. Dihydroquercetin / g of sample and 3357.5 ± 42.2 µmol equiv. Trolox / g of sample. It was shown that the use of fruit and vegetable wastes is promising for production of food-grade antioxidants. In addition, the results of the research could facilitate stimulation of rational and efficient environmental management.

STUDY OF THE ENZYMATIC STAGE OF MILK GELATION: CHANGES IN VISCOSITY AND MICROSTRUCTURE
Authors: Smykov I. T.
Published: October 2019

The article presents the results of experimental joint studies of changes in the viscosity and microstructure of milk at the enzymatic stage of gelation. Based on the statistical processing of the array of research results, it was determined that the viscosity change at this stage is not monotonic, as it is usually stated, but two-stage in the middle part and S-shaped, preceding the gel point, at its end. It was found that the S-shaped change in viscosity at the end of the enzymatic stage of milk coagulation coincides with changes in the microstructure of casein micelles and reflects the existence of a cooperative conformational phase transition in casein molecules of micelle clusters. A description of the possible mechanism of this phase transition is proposed. It was noted that the moment of the S-shaped change in the milk viscosity at the enzymatic gelation stage and the corresponding cooperative phase transition in casein micelles are a physical reflection of the gel point. The research results provide a better understanding of the mechanism of enzymatic coagulation of milk in a cheesemaking tank.

Breves compreensões sobre as "cores" da diversidade sexual e de gênero: situando o serviço social
Authors: Silva Anabella Pavão da , Lehfeld Neide Aparecida de Souza
Published: October 2019

O presente texto apresenta a partir da perspectiva crítica e reflexiva, algumas contribuições ao Serviço Social sobre o debate LGBTQI+ (Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis, Transexuais, Transgêneros, Queers, Intersexuais...). Entende-se que a categoria profissional e estudantil, a partir do compromisso ético-político, deve se aproximar das compreensões e do debate, repensando posicionamentos, se aproximando da diversidade. O enfoque deste trabalho se localiza na exposição e diferenciação de identidades de gênero e orientações sexuais, apresentando algumas compreensões das múltiplas categorias de gênero, dentre inúmeras outras, que vem nascendo em meio à diversidade humana. O texto termina com uma provocação política, teórica e crítica acerca da comunidade LGBTQI+ e o combate às opressões de gênero e sexualidade.
Diretrizes curriculares da ABEPSS e a questão agrária
Authors: Sant Ana Raquel Santos
Published: October 2019

Este artigo traz o debate da questão agrária como uma particularidade da questão social e a partir desse entendimento constrói o diálogo com o projeto de formação do serviço social brasileiro. Parte-se do pressuposto que as Diretrizes Curriculares da Associação Brasileira de Ensino e Pesquisa em Serviço Social (ABEPSS), que tem como fundamento a teoria social de Marx, exige a apreensão dos diversos conteúdos numa perspectiva de totalidade e, portanto, permite a análise das particularidades da questão agrária nos diferentes conteúdos dos núcleos que estruturam a proposta formativa. No entanto, a dificuldade na apropriação desse referencial e a perspectiva urbanocêntrica e fragmentária da produção do conhecimento pode afetar essa apreensão. Este artigo é um exercício de reflexão do lugar da questão agrária como particularidade da questão social em dois núcleos da formação que compõem as diretrizes: o de formação do ser social e o das particularidades da sociedade brasileira, afunilando o debate para uma matéria de maneira a dar visibilidade concreta, ainda que limitada, ao debate da questão agrária no projeto de formação.

Da profissionalização à desprofissionalização? Desafios e perspectivas do serviço social na contemporaneidade
Authors: Nomeriano Aline Soares
Published: October 2019

Muitos são os desafios enfrentados pelos profissionais do Serviço Social em tempos de crise e transformações na ordem social capitalista, seja no âmbito do exercício, da formação, no plano da regulação da profissão, da produção do conhecimento, assim como também na esfera das lutas sociais mais amplas. Neste sentido, este trabalho trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico que pretende analisar as teses da profissionalização versus desprofissionalização, bem como a polêmica relacionada ao processo de proletarização de certas categorias, e de que forma essa discussão tem se dado em torno do Serviço Social. Para tanto, o artigo teve como principal aporte teórico as contribuições de Guerra (2016, 2017), Netto (2011, 2013), Iamamoto (2015, 2017), Trindade (2001, 2014) e Braverman (1987). À guisa de conclusão, pode-se sintetizar em três as dimensões básicas da profissionalidade: qualificação especializada, credenciamento profissional e autonomia técnica; sendo possível sugerir que a referida profissão não está sendo desprofissionalizada, mas sim, passando por processo de precarização, como outras profissões liberais.
Audit Pricing of Terrorism
Authors: Moser William J.
Published: October 2019

I examine whether terrorism or the risk of future terrorism affects audit fees paid by companies around the world. In the existing audit fee literature, it is unclear how terrorism risk enters the theoretical framework for audit fees. Using both a levels analysis and a changes analysis, I find a positive association between higher levels and higher increases in terrorism risk and increased audit fees. The positive association between audit fees and terrorism risk is strengthened in environments with greater litigation risk, i.e., in which the firm has a greater probability of corporate litigation, the firm is headquartered in a country with greater investor protections, or the firm is headquartered in a country that allows shareholders greater ease in filing a shareholder lawsuit. From these results, I conclude that auditors include the country-level terrorism risk in their pricing of audit fees.
From Nature to Culture; the “other” at two New York Museums
Authors: Mohammadzadeh Kive Solmaz
Published: October 2019

Since the mid-19th century, the distinction between art and ethnographic object has been a decisive factor in determining the nature of an exhibition and the approach to its objects. Following the systematic classification of the mid-nineteenth century, non-Western objects were often placed in the ethnographic displays of natural history and anthropology museums. Around the same time, some “artifacts” from Asia were classified as decorative arts. In the twentieth century, they migrated to art museums and formed “Islamic art’, “Asian art”, “primitive art”, and similar collections. In the late-twentieth century, anthropology museums and ethnographic displays received many criticisms for their representations of other cultures. In the past few decades, many museums have addressed the issue in various ways. One of the most common approaches is based on recategorizing the former ethnographic objects and presenting them as artworks. Yet, the effectiveness of this approach is subject to many debates. This paper discusses some differences between ethnographic/anthropological and art historical exhibitions in two prominent museums in New York City­, the American Natural History Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in order to explore some similarities that underline these two seemingly opposite poles.

Chlorella vulgaris is a microalgae that has high lipid content and potential as raw material for biofuel production. This study aims are to determine the effect of pH on growth, lipid production and fatty acid composition of C. vulgaris by using Growmore 32-10-10 fertilizer as a culture medium. Microalgae were cultured in medium Growmore 32-10-10 for 10 days. Afterward, pH of medium was varied into pH 5, 7, 8.2 and 9 and continued cultivate for 3 days. C. vulgaris cultured at pH 8.2 which is a control pH reached optimum growths. The GC-MS analysis for lipid productivity of C. vulgaris was 0.5020 g/L/day and 0.2902 g/L/day for microalgae grew at pH 8.2 and 9, respectively. Cultures at pH 8.2 and 9 produce methyl hexadecanoate, methyl 9-octadecanoate, methyl octadecanoate, methyl 9,12-octadecadienoate, methyl 9,11-octadecadienoate. Additional fatty acid methyl nonadecanoate was also found in C. vulgaris grew at pH 9. The low and high pH stress of C. vulgaris culture medium did not affect culture growth but altered lipid production and fatty acid composition.

Published: October 2019

Kerusakan Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) menyebabkan erosi lahan terhadap besar yang berdampak terhadap angkutan sedimen di sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jumlah lubang pipa isap flushing conduit terhadap penggelontoran sedimen dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jumlah lubang pipa isap terhadap tekanan isap flushing conduit. Karakteristik sedimen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pasir sedang berdasarkan skala wentworth dari hasil analisa saringan. Dari hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah lubang pipa isap terhadap volume gelontor untuk 6 lubang pada waktu (t) 3 yaitu 0,0035(m3), pada waktu (t) 6 yaitu 0,0038(m3), pada waktu (t) 9 yaitu 0,0041(m3). dan untuk 10 lubang pada waktu (t) 3 yaitu 0,0042(m3), pada waktu (t) 6 yaitu 0,0046(m3), pada waktu (t) 9 yaitu 0,0054(m3). Dan untuk 14 lubang pada waktu (t) 3 yaitu 0,0064(m3), pada waktu (t) 6 yaitu 0,0065(m3), pada waktu (t) 9 yaitu 0,0067(m3). Kinerja flushing conduit menunjukkan bahwa semakin banyak jumlah lubang pipa isap maka jumlah volume tergenlontor (Vg) cenderung meningkat. Hal ini diakibatkan oleh fluktuasi tekanan relatif cukup besar untuk mengusik dan mengisap endapan sedimen kedalam pipa flushing conduit.kata kunci : Flushing Conduit, Jumlah lubang pipa isap, Waduk

Authors: Tongeng Anas Andi Bunga , Latif Fausiah
Published: October 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti pengaruh pipa pengisap pada proses fluidisasi terhadap profil alur yang terbentuk, pengaruh diameter lubang perforasi dan jarak antar lubang terhadap volume slurry yang tergelontor, dan efektifitas penggunaan pipa pengisap untuk menggelontor ke hilir. Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimen, yaitu berupa pemodelan fisik di Laboratorium Hidrolika Teknik Sipil, Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Hasanuddin, dengan uji fisik yang dilakukan di model saluran yang dilengkapi dengan pompa air, pipa fluidisasi dan pipa pengisap. Simulasi model terdiri dari dua kondisi yaitu kondisi tanpa pipa pengisap dan dengan pipa pengisap. Rancangan simulasi menggunakan variasi tekanan fluidisasi (P), diameter lubang perforasi (d) dan jarak antar lubang (x). Debit air saluran dibuat konstan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pipa pengisap pada proses fluidisasi, berpengaruh secara signifikan pada alur yang terbentuk. Diameter lubang perforasi (d) dan jarak antar lubang (x) tersebut, juga berpengaruh terhadap besarnya volume slurry (V) yang tergelontor, di mana semakin besar diameter lubang (d) maka semakin besar volume yang tergelontor (V). Sementara, semakin kecil jarak antar lubang (x), maka semakin besar volume yang tergelontor (V). Semakin besar volume terisap dan tergelontor akibat penambahan pipa pengisap, menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pipa lebih efektif daripada fluidisasi biasa.
