Does a Pandemic Increase Religiosity in a Secular Nation? A Longitudinal Examination. PREPRINT VERSION 2.
Authors: Mauritsen Anne Lundahl , Bendixen Theiss , Christensen Henrik Reintoft
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19-pandemic offers a unique, if tragic, opportunity to assess the impact of a worldwide crisis on religion. Theories from various disciplines including the psychology of religion and cultural evolution suggest that crises cause higher levels of religiosity. However, such theories also predict that levels of religiosity should remain stable in the context of well-functioning governments, secular institutions and norms that might address social, epistemic, and material needs in a crisis. While the relationship between crisis and religion have been examined in countries with higher levels of religiosity, it has yet to be extensively empirically assessed in countries with lower levels of religiosity. Here, on the basis of explicit causal assumptions and using Bayesian multilevel modeling, we analyze quasi-representative longitudinal data from Denmark collected over the course of the pandemic from May 2020 to December 2021. Our analysis shows that self-reported religiosity did not increase during the pandemic on average, an inference that is robust to a range of model specifications, including full Bayesian imputation of missing covariates and poststratification. We discuss possible interpretations of this finding and argue for an emphasis on cultural context going forward in theorizing on crises and religion.
A Time-Varying Dynamic Partial Credit Model to Analyze Polytomous and Multivariate Time Series Data
Authors: Castro-Alvarez Sebastian , Bringmann Laura Francina , Meijer Rob , Tendeiro Jorge
Published: July 2022

The accessibility to electronic devices and the novel statistical methodologies available have allowed researchers to comprehend psychological processes at the individual level. However, there are still great challenges to overcome as, in many cases, collected data are more complex than the available models are able to handle. For example, most methods assume that the variables in the time series are measured on an interval scale, which is not the case when Likert-scale items were used. Ignoring the scale of the variables can be problematic and bias the results. Additionally, most methods also assume that the time series are stationary, which is rarely the case. To tackle these disadvantages, we propose a model that combines the partial credit model (PCM) of the item response theory framework and the time-varying autoregressive model (TV-AR), which is a popular model used to study psychological dynamics. The proposed model is referred to as the time-varying dynamic partial credit model (TV-DPCM), which allows to appropriately analyze multivariate polytomous data and nonstationary time series. We test the performance and accuracy of the TV-DPCM in a simulation study. Lastly, by means of an example, we show how to fit the model to empirical data and interpret the results.

Authors: Oli Sumina , Bhandari Dikshika , Aryal Usha , Sharma Upreti Anish , Kackchapati Sampurna
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Tobacco is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced, killing nearly eight million people a year. The problem of smoking among females has not been well addressed in Nepal. The study aims is to identify reasons behind smoking initiation and maintenance from the perspective of female smokers in Nepal.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among female smokers aged between 18-24 years using focus group discussion and individual interviews in different hotspots for smoking in Kathmandu valley, Nepal. The purposive sampling technique was used. The female smokers who had smoked at least once in the previous seven days and continuously for the previous six months were included in the study. The interviews and discussions were recorded and transcribed before thematic analysis was conducted.Results: Four major themes emerged from analysis -initiation of smoking, smoking behavior, reasons for smoking and beliefs about smoking. All the female smokers started smoking as teenagers, generally out of curiosity and influence from family members. They preferred to smoke in groups and some were forced to smoke by their friends and had smoked against their will until smoking became a habit. Other factors for them to smoke were stress, conflict, peer pressure, fashion and education factors. The participants regarded the sense of release and independence gained from smoking as important and perceived the health risks as slight.Conclusion: The different perspectives on smoking identified in this study suggest that public health interventions should aim to decrease smoking levels by targeting groups rather than individuals, focusing on changing the smoking behavior of families and strengthening the non-smoking policy in public places.
Struggling to reply to reviewers: Some advice for novice researchers
Authors: Harvey Orlanda , Taylor Alison , Regmi Pramod R , Van Teijlingen Edwin
Published: July 2022

Peer review is key in academic publishing, and rejection (or at least being asked to resubmit your paper to the journal), is a not uncommon occurrence. However, receiving such rejection and having to reply to it can be hard for the early-career researcher.
In this paper, we first highlight the role of the peer reviewer, followed by some of the less friendly reviewers’ comments to our own submitted papers in four case studies. We conclude with several suggestions of ways to deal with less than positive reviews.
Quest of Spiritual Knowledge in Paulo Coelho’s Hippie: A Popular Cultural Perspective
Authors: Rai Bidur
Published: July 2022

Coelho’s Hippie is based on the time in which Coelho is living the way of a hippie. Spiritual seekers make their way to India and even Nepal in the sixties in search of enlightenment. In the 1960s, the groups of unconventional appearance are associated with a subculture and reject conventional values. The paper tries to meet its objective by explaining how the protagonist cultivates his journey and achieves the spiritual awakening in the end of his journey. This paper explores issues of Quest of Spiritual Knowledge in Paulo Coelho’s Hippie through the lens of popular culture because in the today's world the text is connected to its cultural archetype. It interprets the issue of the hero quest and spiritual education in Coelho’s text and then its connection with popular culture. Coelho’s Hippie relates to how Paulo as well as the other young boys and girls challenge western and non-western concept of culture, and they leave their homes to experiment the world on their own. These youths appear to create and organize the hippie culture, live in separate commune and travel far and wide in quest of peace, freedom and love as protest. To interpret the text, I apply the readings and concepts of Joseph Campbell, John Storey, Ray Brown and Marshall Fishwick as a theoretical framework. The paper argues that although the hippie culture progresses as the counterculture of the 1960s youth movement, the protagonist’s quest of spiritual awakening is an issue of the study.
Humanity in Mulk Raj Anand’s Novels
Authors: Adhikari Bina
Published: July 2022

This paper discusses about the humanity appeared in the Mulk Raj Anand’s novels specially Untouchable and Coolie. Mulk Raj Anand is extremely outstanding as an Indian novelist, reformer, recognized essayist, craftsmanship commentator, editorial manager, a short story author, columnist, and political lobbyist. Anand is accepted by several critics along with Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan and Ahmed Ali, as one of the India's best writers. A writer’s views and attitudes are floored by a number of ways which work upon him since the childhood to funeral. In this sense, Mulk Raj Anand has no exception to it at all. His cultural, social, academic heritage altogether shapes his art, culture and personality as well. A champion of the poor classes in India, Mulk Raj Anand attacks religious bigotry and established institutions in his numerous novels and short stories. This basic philosophy mixed humanism and socialism into the concept of "bhakti". Anand's devotion to socialism and humanism has had a dual effect on his writing. His humanism lends more artistry to the value of his work, while his belief in socialism tends to reduce from their literacy worth. Anand's earlier novels show a sense of horror and disgust against social and economic ills, the novels of the middle period show a greater concern for and with the human heart. It is, however, in the later novels that a healthy combination of the social and personal concerns is achieved. Thus, the art of Anand, gradually gains much in confidence. While the later novels keep the passion for social justice, they sound greater emotional depths. Anand's short stories suffer from problems. Similar to those in his novel. For his realistic portrayals of the social and economic problems suffered by Indians at the hands of British, as well those of other richer and powerful Indians. In exposing the limitations of tradition, Anand’s mood is in fact ruthful, resentful, ironical and satirical, as the subject and the condition demand. Common themes in the Anand’s novels are religious bigotry, hypocrisy, feudal system, east-west encounter, the place of woman in the society, superstitions, poverty, sufferings, misery, hunger and exploitation.
Transnational Identity in Anil’s Ghost
Authors: Shrestha Ravi Kumar
Published: July 2022

Anil Tessera who is portrayed as the central character in the novel seems to be like Michael Ondaatje who is a transnational Sri Lankan and Canadian writer. Like Ondaatje, Anil carries dual citizenship. On the one hand, the novel shows how Anil returns to Sri Lanka i.e. her home country in the middle of the civil war when the government armies fight with Tamil Tigers and insurgent Sinhalese. On the other hand, the novel mainly focuses on Anil’s transnational identity. The novel reflects different reasons for Anil to carry transnational identity: the dissolution of boundaries and crossborder activities, her return to the home country, her connection to the home country, her sense of loss and displacement, and the conflict between national and transnational.
Dalit Aesthetics and Consciousness in Sharad Poudel's Likhe
Authors: Charmakar Rudra Bahadur
Published: July 2022

Dalit art and literature has been an inseparable part of Dalit movements in Nepal. It has its own aesthetic characteristics, literary features, paradigms and missions for Dalits’ rights, equality, dignity, and social transformation. However, there is no remarkable qualitative research focusing on Dalit aesthetic perspectives. This research article aims to explore the caste system, social context and consciousness in Dalit literature. It examines the literary paradigms and Dalit aesthetics characteristics and values in literature. For this purpose, the study has employed the emerging concept of Dalit aesthetics and consciousness as a theoretical lens developed by Sharankumar Limbale, C. B. Bharti, Arjun Dangle, Rajarao Dunna and Anju Bala to the novel "Likhe". The study has adopted the exploratory method with a qualitative approach. Findings of the study illustrate that Dalit literature has its own aesthetics features and values and literary paradigms. As a protest literature by its nature, Dalit literature awakens Dalits and backward communities to move against all types of atrocities, caste discrimination, oppression, exploitation. The study further elucidates that the novel "Likhe" portrays the Nepali society and the misery of Dalits. It delivers socio-political messages to establish an equity-based prosperous society through its context, content, plots and characters.

Abiotic features of Sukhyi and Grygorivskyi Estuaries' ecosystems as seaport water areas (northwestern part of the Black Sea)
Authors: Vinogradov A. K. , Bogatova Yu. I. , Synyogub I. A.
Published: July 2022

The article studies the location, origin and abiotic features of the ecosystems of Sukhyi and Grygorivskyi Estuaries that were transformed into water areas of Chornomorsk and Yuzhnyi, the major seaports of Ukraine, in the second half of the 20th century. It also presents a comparison of the abiotic conditions of such ecosystems based on the analysis of published data and additional database materials of the Institute of Marine Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

The construction of permanent and deep watercourses in the water areas of the estuaries alongside with large-scale dredging works led to their transformation into narrow sea bays with the depths significantly exceeding those in the adjacent sea. The construction of berths included levelling the coastline, changing the bottom profile and increasing the water volumes by more than three times. Now the volumes amount to 45–55 million m3 in Sukhyi Estuary and 60–70 million m3 in Grygorivskyi Estuary. The current abiotic features of the estuaries' ecosystems are determined by the processes occurring in Odesa sea region of the northwestern part of the Black Sea where such estuaries are located. The estuaries' hydrochemical regime depends on the yearly meteorological features, the intensity of water exchange with the sea, the amount of biogenic matter coming from natural (surface runoff, precipitation) and anthropogenic sources and the intra-aquatic processes of new organic matter production and destruction. Dredging activities resulted in emergence of the conditions for halocline and thermocline formation that hamper vertical water exchange. The formation of zones with extreme values of dissolved oxygen was also noted during the research. The maximum values in the surface layers result from photosynthesis development, while the minimum values in the bottom layers are caused by accumulation and destruction of dead organic matter. This information can be used to forecast the consequences arising from similar anthropogenic interference in the functioning of coastal marine ecosystems.

Published: July 2022

A 31-year-old woman with no history of systemic autoimmune disease developed bilateral pain, redness, periorbital edema, and proptosis while being hospitalized for mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. The onset of ocular symptoms occurred six days after systemic COVID-19 symptoms. Computed tomography examination of the orbit revealed diffuse inflammation involving multiple orbital structures. A complete systemic workup was performed to exclude other systemic inflammatory diseases. She was initially diagnosed with probable orbital cellulitis secondary to sinusitis. However, she did not improve with antibiotic therapy. Empirical administration of systemic corticosteroids led to a dramatic clinical response. The patient has been maintained on a gradual steroid taper without inflammation relapse. This article describes a potential causal association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and orbital inflammation. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this presentation when assessing patients with COVID-19 who present with orbital inflammatory symptoms.

Authors: Romero Escobar H. , Romero Escobar S.
Published: July 2022

Este artículo en el que relacionamos apego y terapia familiar responde a una de las finalidades de la psicoterapia y ésta es fortalecer la vida mental. Para ello, los terapeutas debemos ofrecer un espacio de coherencia, responsabilidad y límites seguros que creen una base segura en las relaciones con los pacientes. Debemos tener en cuenta para ello que la familia tiene un papel fundamental en el desarrollo del individuo y que el ambiente familiar es el primer clima emocional en el que vive el niño. Con el fin de cumplir con el apoyo que debe darse entre los miembros de la familia, se generan distintas figuras de apego. Por todo ello nos centraremos primero en las relaciones de pareja y apego, sus distintos estilos, la elección de pareja y en los paralelismos entre estas relaciones románticas adultas y entre el bebé y sus cuidadores. En segundo lugar, nos hemos parado a analizar la parentalidad y el apego, evaluando las competencias parentales y señalando los indicadores de buenos tratos en padres e hijos haciendo también una breve aproximación a las particularidades que se dan en los procesos de adopción. En último lugar, daremos nuestra visión más práctica en el trabajo con familias concluyendo desde este mismo artículo la importancia que tiene desde nuestro punto de vista, abordar el vínculo no sólo en la familia sino entre ésta y los terapeutas.
Effect of pendimethalin herbicide on Azotobacter and PSB population in soil during crop growth under conventional and zero tillage ​
Authors: BABAL BHAWNA , SHARMA M. K. , PHOGAT V. K.
Published: July 2022

The development of more productive and sustainable agricultural systems essentially requires the assessment of the population and diversity of microorganisms in soils under different management practices. The conservation agriculture (CA) systems are considered very important for soil health, biodiversity and environmental quality. But the use of herbicides is substantially increased under CA systems which may cause adverse impacts on human and ecosystem health. Moreover, the literature pertaining to the consequence of herbicides on soil microorganisms is quite controversial, and largely based either on laboratory or short-term field experiments. Therefore, the impact of pendimethalin herbicide on the population of Azotobacter and phosphorus solubilising bacteria (PSB) under CA system was taken up during _summer, 2019_ at Soil Research Farm, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar in alluvial sandy loam soil (Typic Haplustept). The experiment included two cropping systems (mungbean - wheat and sorghum - wheat), with three tillage practices, viz., zero tillage with surface retention of crop residues in both summer and winter seasons (ZT-ZT), conventional tillage in summer and zero tillage with residue retention in winter (CT-ZT) and conventional tillage in both seasons (CT-CT). Resultes revealed an increase in the population of both Azotobacter and PSB under ZT-ZT as compared to CT-CT practice at different depths. In surface 0-5 cm soil, the ZT-ZT practice increased the population of Azotobacter and PSB by 65.6 and 30.0%, respectively, over CT-CT practice in 13 years of experimentation. Application of pendimethalin provided stimulation to the population of both the microbes till 15th day of it application under all the tillage practices. This stimulation in population was of almost similar order (21-23%) for under ZT-ZT practice but greater stimulation (29.8%) in the population of Azotobacter as compared to PSB (13.5%) under CT-CT practice accentuated Azotobacter to be more efficient in utilizing easily available pendimethalin for their augmentation of the proliferation.. The influence of cropping systems on microbes upon application of pendimethalin was largely non-significant

The Disease Concealment as a Premise of Refusing the Life Insurance Policy Payment in the Interwar Insurance System
Authors: Bednaruk Waldemar
Published: July 2022

In the difficult times of reconstruction of Polish statehood, having a life insurance policy that actually secured the existence of the family after the death of its breadwinner was a luxury that few citizens could afford. The burden of paying premiums was too heavy for the vast majority of society, hence the decision to take out the policy was sometimes made too late – at a time when the person concerned already knew about a deadly disease that was consuming his body. In order to obtain an insurance policy, he hid information about the disease, which in turn exposed the insurance companies to losses. They fought this practice by refusing payments to people who, by signing the contract, concealed information important from the insurer’s point of view.
Protection of the Interests of Capital Companies in Selected Judgments of the Supreme Court Pertaining to the Application of Article 210 (379) of the Code of Commercial Companies
Authors: Kuniewicz Zbigniew
Published: July 2022

The paper aims to examine selected issues of representation of a company, which will be carried out on the basis of a special provision laid down in Article 210(1) (379(1)) of the Code of Commercial Companies. The objective of the provision is to protect the company’s interests and the way to achieve this goal is through exclusion of the management board from representation in contracts and disputes between the company and a member of the management board. The paper seeks to examine the scope of application of Article 210(1) of the Code and to determine the legal nature and types of power of attorney that can be granted pursuant to the provision. The analysis is based on a rather complex factual case, and examines legal relationships in a limited partnership in which a limited liability company and a member of its management board are partners.

Best of the Best of the Best? How International are Top International Law Journals Really?
Authors: Stec Piotr
Published: July 2022

This paper reports a pilot study on publication patterns in the twelve top international, single-subject law journals. It has been found that these journals almost exclusively publish US law school-affiliated authors, with foreign-based lawyers authoring less than 5% of all the papers published in these journals. This outcome contrasts heavily with the outcomes for the control group of multidisciplinary science journals, where authorship distribution conformed with the number of scientists working in three macro-regions (US, EU, and China). The results of this study indicate that law journals are most probably jurisdiction-focused, and the number of citations relies more on the size of a jurisdiction covered by the journal than on the international appreciation of the texts. Furthermore, it may indicate that bibliometric factors used to measure scientific output cannot be applied 1:1 to measure the quality of legal research.

Novel Kisah Sedih di Hari Minggu (Tragedi) karya Upay mengangkat isu gangguan mental berupa Baby Blues Syndrome yang dialami oleh tokoh. Penelitian bertujuan mengungkapkan aspek kepribadian tokoh utama dan tokoh pendukung dalam novel berdasarkan struktur kepribadian. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dan menggunakan pendekatan psikologi sastra menurut Sigmund Freud. Sumber data novel berjudul Kisah Sedih di Hari Minggu (Tragedi) karya Upay yang diterbitkan 2016. Data dalam penelitian ini berupa teks narasi dan dialog yang menggambarkan aspek psikologis tokoh. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan cara teknik baca dan teknik catat. Adapun tokoh-tokoh yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini meliputi tokoh utama bernama Riana dan tokoh pendukung bernama Ibunda Robert. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tokoh Riana memiliki kepribadian yang seimbang. Seimbang berarti bahwa kepribadian dalam diri tokoh mampu menggerakkan id dan ego yang dikendalikan oleh superego dalam diri seseorang sama beratnya. Superego dalam diri tokoh Riana berfungsi dengan semestinya. Artinya superego tokoh Riana mengarahkan id dan ego dalam dirinya ke arah yang lebih bermoral. Tokoh Ibunda Robert memiliki struktur kepribadian yang tidak seimbang (adanya ketimpangan superego dalam diri seseorang menjadikan ego dalam dirinya dikuasai oleh id) antara id, ego, dan superego. Ketidakseimbangan terdapat pada superego dalam diri tokoh Ibunda Robert. Ego tokoh Ibunda Robert telah didominasi oleh id sehingga superego dari tokoh Ibunda Robert tidak berfungsi dengan semestinya. Begitu besarnya tekanan dan desakan dari id yang disalurkan melalui ego membuat struktur kepribadian superego tidak berfungsi hingga mengakibatkan terjadinya perilaku yang tidak sejalan dengan nilai-nilai moral dan kemanusiaan.Kata Kunci: novel, psikologi sastra, tokoh utama, tokoh pendukung

Authors: Dasuki Mohamad Ramdon
Published: July 2022

Fenomena beberapa waktu lalu membuat seluruh mata terperangah, kata-kata singkat yang pantas ditujukan kepada para spekulan pasar minyak goreng mungkin; tega-teganya para pelaku pasar ekonomi dalam negeri ini permainkan harga hingga rakyat menengah ke bawah mengalami kesulitan untuk memperbaiki urusan dapur mereka setelah badai berturut-turut menimpa masyararakat menengah ke bawah ini. Setelah dua tahun lamanya diharuskan bekerja dan beraktifitas di dalam rumah saja karena lockdown termasuk anak-anak sekolahan dan kuliahan ikut turut di lockdown sehingga harus bertahan hidup di rumah saja, hingga tidak sedikit angota keluarga terkena PHK, dirumahkan, sepinya dunia usaha, pengurangan tenaga kerja, dan lain sebagainya sehingga krisis minyak goreng menjadi semakin komplit kesulitan dapur dan kehidupan masyarakat menengah ke bawah. Berdasarkan fenomena inilah kiniscayaan kehadiran negara dalam hal ini pemerintah beserta aparatur negara yang terkait menjadi kemutlakan memunculkan beberapa pertanyaan besar karena peran para oligarki yang seringkali turut mewarnai. Penulis akhirnya menggarisbawahi di sini jika bangunan filosofi negara yang bercirikan keadilan sosial sedang dipertaruhkan berhadapan dengan bangunan filosofi para pengusaha yang bercirikan profit ekonomis sedang dipertontonkan di hadapan khalayak ramai.Kata Kunci: filosofi negara, filosofi oligarki, krisis minyak goreng

Wanita hamil sebagai salah satu kelompok rentan terhadap infeksi COVID-19 disarankan untuk tetap tinggal di rumah dan mengurangi kontak sosial tatap muka sehingga berisiko terhadap pengurangan aktivitas fisik. Perubahan pola hidup ini berkaitan dengan peningkatan risiko depresi, kecemasan, obesitas maternal, dan berbagai komplikasi kehamilan lainnya seperti Diabetes Melitus Gestational, Preeklampsia dan Low Back Pain. Pemberian edukasi dan pendampingan serta pemberdayaan ibu hamil untuk melakukan latihan fisik secara rutin merupakan strategi yang tepat untuk mengubah pola aktivitas fisik dalam rangka meningkatkan derajat kesehatan di masa adaptasi kebiasaan baru. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan kepada 56 orang ibu hamil di kota palembang berupa pemberian penyuluhan dan edukasi rutin. Kegiatan juga disertai upaya pendampingan agar ibu hamil dapat melakukan latihan fisik secara rutin selama 1 bulan. Penilaian keberhasilan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan menilai peningkatan pengetahuan peserta sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan, tercapainya target frekuensi untuk semua peserta selama sesi latihan dan juga kuisioner manfaat latihan fisik secara rutin. Hasil penilaian dengan kuisioner menunjukkan peningkatan rerata pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah menjalani program edukasi. Kegiatan penyuluhan dan pendampingan dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pembiasaan ibu hamil dalam melakukan latihan fisik, khususnya di era pandemi COVID-19.

Penyakit degeneratif merupakan penyakit akibat adanya penurunan fungsi organ tubuh. Penyakit degeneratif pada umumnya terjadi pada orang tua namun saat ini sudah banyak juga dialami pada kelompok usia produktif. Penyakit degeneratif dapat dideteksi melalui pemeriksaan kesehatan secara rutin dan melakukan pencegahan faktor risikonya. Pemeriksaan Kesehatan secara rutin memerlukan kesadaran diri, namun tidak semua orang sadar untuk melakukannya. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dengan skema perkuliahan desa mata kuliah dietetik penyakit degeneratif diikuti oleh 25 mahasiswa. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan dengan tujuan meningkatkan kewaspadaan masyarakat terhadap penyakit degeneratif dengan skrining pemeriksaan kesehatan dan konseling gizi secara rutin yaitu 3 kali pengukuran dalam 30 hari. Pengukuran dilakukan pada komposisi tubuh, tekanan darah, kadar gula darah, dan kolesterol. Hasil pengukuran dijadikan data acuan dalam memberikan konseling pengaturan makan yang tepat. Ada sebanyak 53 warga yang secara sukarela mengikuti kegiatan ini. Kegiatan dilakukan di Kelurahan 13 ulu di Kampung kuliner Bingen yang merupakan desa binaan program studi. Hasil kegiatan ini menunjukkan, selama 30 hari kegiatan terdapat perbaikan hasil di awal hingga pemeriksaan ketiga. Responden yang mengalami hipertensi di pemeriksaan awal 36 orang (65,5%) menjadi 30 orang (54,5%), kadar kolesterol tinggi di pemeriksaan awal 20 orang (36,3%) menjadi 9 orang (16,3%), lemak tubuh yang tinggi 40 orang (72,7%) menjadi 39 orang (70%). Hal ini terjadi karena responden mengalami peningkatan kewaspadaan terhadap hasil pemeriksaan dan disertai pemahaman pengaturan makan yang diperlukan berdasarkan hasil pengukuran indikator kesehatan.
The Evolution of Targeted Radionuclide Diagnosis of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Published: July 2022

This review examines the evolution of the radionuclide diagnosis of HER2-positive breast cancer using various compounds as a targeting module in clinical practice: from full-length antibodies to a new group of small synthetic proteins called alternative scaffold proteins. This topic is of especial relevance today in view of the problems attendant to the detection of breast cancer with HER2/neu overexpression, which, in most cases, introduce errors in the treatment of patients. The results of clinical studies of radiopharmaceuticals based on affibody molecules, ADAPTs, and DARPins for SPECT and PET have demonstrated good tolerability of the compounds, their rapid excretion from the body, and the possibility to differentiate tumor sites depending on the HER2/neu status. This indicates that targeted radionuclide diagnosis holds promise and the need to continue research in this direction.
The Signaling Pathways Controlling the Efficacy of Glioblastoma Therapy

The resistance of glioblastoma to existing therapies puts limits on quality-of-life improvements and patient survival with a glioblastoma diagnosis. The development of new effective glioblastoma therapies is based on knowledge about the mechanisms governing tumor resistance to therapeutic agents. Virotherapy is one of the most actively developing approaches to the treatment of malignant neoplasms: glioblastoma in particular. Previously, we demonstrated that the recombinant vaccinia virus VV-GMCSF-Lact exhibits in vitro cytotoxic activity and in vivo antitumor efficacy against human glioblastoma. However, the studied glioblastoma cell cultures had different sensitivities to the oncotoxic effect of the virus. In this study, we investigated cancer stem cell (CSC) surface markers in glioblastoma cells with different sensitivities to VV-GMCSF-Lact using flow cytometry and we assessed the levels of proteins affecting viral entry into cells and virus infection efficiency by western blotting. We showed that cell cultures more sensitive to VV-GMCSF-Lact are characterized by a greater number of cells with CSC markers and a lower level of activated Akt kinase. Akt probably inhibits lactaptin-induced apoptosis in virus-resistant cells. Hence, we suggest that the sensitivity of glioblastoma cells to the oncotoxic effect of VV-GMCSF-Lact is determined by the nature and extent of the disturbances in cell death regulation in various cultures. Further investigation of the factors affecting glioblastoma resistance to virotherapy will test this hypothesis and identify targets for antitumor therapy, combined with VV-GMCSF-Lact.
Ras Participates in the Regulation of the Stability of Adenoviral Protein E1A via MAP-kinase ERK

The E1A adenoviral protein required for the initiation of the viral life cycle is being actively studied as a sensitizing agent in the combination therapy of cancer, and tumors with activated Ras in particular. We investigated the role played by the Ras signaling pathway in the regulation of E1A protein stability and showed that overexpression of activated Ras increases the basal level of E1A, but enhances the degradation of the E1A protein under treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs). It has been found that the MAP kinase ERK is the key factor in E1A stabilization, and ERK inactivation upon HDI treatment reduces the E1A protein level. Our results indicate that the combination treatment of tumors with activated Ras using adenoviral E1A and HDI has limitations attributed to intense HDI-dependent degradation of E1A. Nevertheless, the established contribution of ERK kinase to the regulation of E1A stability can be used to search for new effective drug combinations based on the adenoviral E1A protein.
