Public procurement as an instrument for implementing economic policy (experience of EU countries)
Authors: Kheifets Boris A. , Chernova Veronika Yu.
Published: September 2020

The article explores the experience of a number of EU countries. It is revealed that in the EU countries there is growing interest in using public procurement policies for food security by promoting the development of farms, small farmers entering the national market, increasing their incomes, developing rural areas, improving quality nutrition. The main directions of transformation of public procurement policies in the agri-food sector are green public procurements (GPP), aimed at solving environmental problems, and sustainable public procurements (SPP). At the same time, inclusion of quality criteria in the public procurement system and access to the market public procurement of small agricultural producers requires solving a number of problems, including increasing the professionalism of state buyers, introducing innovative methods in boards using modern technology. In addition, the multisectoral nature of these initiatives requires coordinated action between different sectors of the economy at all levels. The conclusion is drawn on the need to transform the Russian government procurement policy in accordance with the target guidelines of economic policy in modern conditions.
Foreign trade security and its support system as a special element of economic security of the state
Authors: Pak Anna Yu.
Published: September 2020

The article offers a classification of types of economic security and separately identifies foreign trade security as the most important element of the states economic security in the context of global escalation of trade contradictions in international trade. The essential characteristics of foreign trade security, characterized by permanent external influence, are revealed. Based on the identified features and characteristics, the definition of foreign trade security is given as a state of protection of exports and(or) imports from threats caused only by external influence, but not internal, in contrast to other types of economic security. It is shown that it is impossible to achieve the state of full provision of foreign trade security of the state in the conditions of participation in international economic relations. To resolve the contradiction between the goal of maximizing the effect of foreign trade activities and the simultaneous need to ensure security, we propose the formation of a scientifically-based system for ensuring foreign trade security and identify its main constituent elements.

Published: September 2020

Introduction: Herpes zoster is a skin infection caused by reactivation of the Varicella zoster virus that remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia, showing dermatomal spread on the skin, accompanied by a vesicular rash and itching. It is a disease of the adult age group. Although herpes zoster is more common in immunocompromised children, it is rarely seen in healthy children. Case Presentation: Two patients, 11 and 12 years old, presented with pain, itching, and rash. Patient histories indicated that they were previously healthy. Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and electrolyte values were within normal limits. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and VZV Ig M were positive, while herpes zoster virus (HZV) Ig G and HZV Ig M were negative. Oral acyclovir treatment was started. Symptoms, treatment, and follow-up of the two cases were similar. In both patients, the lesions regressed within a week, and at the end of the second week, they recovered without complications.Conclusion: Herpes Zoster infection is rarely seen in healthy children. In this case report, we aimed to remind and discuss the clinical features during childhood.
Temperament, character traits and alexithymia in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder
Authors: ÜSTÜNDAĞ Mehmet , ŞEN GÖKÇEİMAM Pınar
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Alexithymia levels have generally been found high in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). It is thought that there is a correlation between alexithymia and the severity of OCD symptoms. One of the factors influencing alexithymia is temperament-character traits. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the temperament-character traits in OCD patients and the correlation of these traits with alexithymia. Methods: This study included 43 OCD patients who applied to Atatürk University Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic and 33 healthy individuals as the control group. Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-IV), Sociodemographic and clinical data form, and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) were applied to participants whereas Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) was additionally applied to the patient group.Results: No difference was detected between both groups in terms of age and gender. In the OCD group, harm avoidance (HA) and self-transcendence (ST) scores were found high, and self-directedness (SD), cooperativeness (C) and novelty seeking (NS) were found low when compared to the control group. In the OCD group, difficulty in expressing feelings (TAS-B), extroverted thinking (TAS-C) and TAS-20 scores were found to be higher than the control group. In the alexithymic OCD group, the mean disorderliness and persistence(P) scores were found to be lower compared to the non-alexithymic group. A positive correlation was discovered between Y-BOCS scores and TAS-C scores in OCD patients.Conclusion: Alexithymia is observed at a high rate in OCD. The extroverted thinking sub-dimension of alexithymia is correlated with the severity of OCD symptoms. Some temperament-personality traits differ in alexithymic-OCD patients compared to those who are not alexithymic. The evaluation of alexithymia and the factors influencing alexithymia has the potential to offer a new approach to understand the etiology and treatment of OCD.

Kepadatan Jentik Aedes Sp . Vektor Penular Demam Berdarah Dengue di Tiga Kabupaten Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah
Authors: Widjajanti Wening
Published: September 2020

Abstract One of the health problems in Central Kalimantan Province is dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), because its incidence rate is above the target of the Ministry of Health. The indicator of dengue transmission is observed by the presence of Aedes sp larvae, as measured by the value of House Index (HI), Breteau Index (BI), Container Index (CI) and Larvae-Free Number (ABJ). The aim of this research is to determine the values of HI, BI, CI and ABJ in Gunung Mas, Murung Raya and Pulang Pisau Districts, so that the prevention of dengue transmission can be done properly. Data collected were the number of Aedes sp. larvae in 100 houses in residential areas both inside and outside the house. Results showed that HI values in the three regencies are higher than WHO standards, the values of BI in Gunung Mas and Pulang Pisau are ≥ 50. CI values in the three s are 5%, meaning that they are at a high risk of dengue transmission. ABJ values in the three districts are below the Ministry of Health standards, which is below 95%, meaning that there is still a spread of DHF in the three districts.

Obesity fosters low-grade inflammation in white
adipose tissue (WAT) that may contribute to the insulin resistance that
characterizes type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the causal relationship
of these events remains unclear. The established dominance of signal transducer and
activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) function in the immune
response suggests an obligate link between inflammation and the co-morbidities
of obesity. To this end, we sought to determine how STAT1 activity in white
adipocytes affects insulin sensitivity. STAT1 expression in WAT inversely correlated with
fasting plasma glucose in both obese mice and humans. Metabolomic and gene
expression profiling established STAT1 deletion in adipocytes (STAT1a-KO­­­)
enhanced mitochondrial function and accelerated TCA cycle flux coupled with
reduced fat cell size in subcutaneous WAT depots. STAT1a-KO reduced WAT
inflammation, but insulin resistance
persisted in obese mice. Rather, elimination of type I cytokine interferon
gamma (IFNg)
activity enhanced insulin
sensitivity in diet-induced obesity. Our findings reveal a
permissive mechanism that bridges WAT inflammation to whole-body insulin
sensitivity.

Published: September 2020

Animal models are important tools in diabetes research as ethical and
logistical constraints limit access to human tissue. Beta cell dysfunction is a
common contributor to the pathogenesis of most types of diabetes. Spontaneous
hyperglycaemia developed in a colony of C57BL/6J mice at King’s College London
(KCL). Sequencing identified a mutation in the Ins2 gene, causing a glycine to
serine substitution at position 32 on the B chain of the preproinsulin2
molecule. Mice with the Ins2+/G32S mutation were named KCL Ins2 G32S
(KINGS) mice. The same mutation in humans (rs80356664) causes dominantly
inherited neonatal diabetes. Mice were characterised and beta cell function was
investigated. Male mice became overtly diabetic at around 5 weeks of age
whereas female mice had only slightly elevated non-fasting glycaemia. Islets
showed decreased insulin content and impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion,
which was more severe in males. Transmission electron microscopy and studies of
gene and protein expression showed beta cell endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress
in both sexes. Despite this, beta cell numbers were only slightly reduced in
older animals. In conclusion, the KINGS mouse is a novel model of a human form
of diabetes that may be useful to study beta cell responses to ER stress.

Published: September 2020

Pain management is important for alleviating patients' suffering and early recovery. Although analgesic combinations are known to be effective, a comparison of the effectiveness of different combinations has never been performed specifically for ramus osteotomy procedures. Therefore, the purpose of this observational retrospective cohort study was to identify an effective combination for pain management throughout the intraoperative and immediate postoperative period for patients undergoing bilateral ramus osteotomy procedures. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients who had undergone bilateral mandibular ramus osteotomies over a 2-year period. The analyzed predictor variables included patient gender, age, body weight, operation, anesthetic method, duration of operation, intraoperative use of fentanyl, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and intravenous acetaminophen administered in the operating room at the end of the surgery. The outcome variable was the necessity for additional rescue analgesics (yes/no) in the recovery room. Bivariate statistics and multivariate analysis were computed with a p-value of <0.05. The study sample was comprised of 78 patients requiring bilateral mandibular ramus osteotomies. From the multivariate analysis, the combination of NSAIDs-acetaminophen-fentanyl was an independent factor for no additional rescue analgesics during the first 1 hour after bilateral ramus osteotomies, indicating that the combination is significantly effective for bilateral ramus osteotomies compared with the other combinations. Considering that this study consisted of a small sample size, the results of this study suggest that some of the combinations, particularly NSAIDs-acetaminophen-fentanyl, are more effective than NSAIDs alone for postoperative pain control immediately following bilateral ramus osteotomy procedures.

Published: September 2020

A patient undergoing a bilateral sagittal split and LeFort 1 maxillary osteotomy performed under general anesthesia required emergent intraoperative exchange of a potentially damaged nasotracheal tube. This exchange was smoothly performed under constant indirect visualization using the McGrath MAC video laryngoscopy system. After the exchange, ventilation of the patient dramatically improved. The removed endotracheal tube was torn 19 cm from the distal tip. The McGrath MAC was useful for visualizing the glottis and confirming the entire course of the tube exchange despite the patient's having a difficult airway (Cormack-Lehane grade 3).
A Case of Anaphylaxis in Which a Basophil Activation Test Was Used to Identify the Suspected Agent

Published: September 2020

This is a case report of anaphylaxis in which the basophil activation test (BAT) was used to identify the etiological agent. Although skin tests are considered the most effective methods for identifying anaphylactic triggers, the test itself presents a risk of inducing anaphylaxis. The BAT is advantageous because of its inherent lack of risk, high sensitivity and specificity to identify the suspected anaphylactic agents, and diagnostic accuracy comparable to conventional skin testing. Therefore, in the future, the BAT is likely to become the preferred test for the detection of allergens over conventional skin tests.

Cohesive devices in argumentative essays by Indonesian EFL learners
Authors: Nindya Meyga Agustia , Widiati Utami
Published: September 2020

Cohesive devices are essential elements that have long been recognized as important features of good writing. However, making use of them appropriately is viewed as problematic for learners. This descriptive qualitative study aimed to investigate Indonesian EFL learners' ability to use cohesive devices in their writings. Twenty EFL learners of a state university in Malang, East Java, Indonesia were required to write and send one piece of argumentative essay consisting of five paragraphs to be analyzed. Twenty essays were analyzed by identifying the number of correct and errors of grammatical cohesion. The errors were then evaluated to know the possible causes that contributed to the learners' errors. The results showed that the total number of grammatical cohesion used by the learners was 2386, while 175 of them performed errors. It was also found that there was a heavy reliance on the use of particular cohesive items. The intralingual transfer mostly caused the errors made by learners. This implied a need for writing teachers to apply strategies for the development of EFL learners' writing ability, such as exposing students to exercises, using collaborative learning, giving feedback, and using the learning management system.
Students’ reflections in teaching practicum: A case study of EFL pre-service teachers
Authors: Riyanti Dwi
Published: September 2020

The importance of reflection in enhancing teachers’ professional development has been widely acknowledged. Yet, little is known about how EFL pre-service teachers do reflection and how they perceive reflective practice as one of the tools to improve their professional development. The current study attempts to address this gap by investigating how EFL pre-service teachers reflect on their teaching performances and perceive their reflective practices. Employing a qualitative case study, the study involved six teacher candidates who were taking microteaching. The data were gathered from an open-ended questionnaire made by the author, journal writing, participants' analysis on the videos of their teaching performances, and an interview with each participant. To triangulate the data, classroom observations and document analysis were also conducted. The obtained data were analyzed thematically based on emerging themes. The findings show that the participants did reflections in different stages of their teaching performances, reflecting on the surface level. In terms of how they view a reflection, the research participants perceive a reflection as a good practice because it gives them opportunities to look back and scrutinize what they did during their teaching practicum.

Experimental Research of Induction Heating in Inner Hollow of Cylindrical Solenoid
Authors: Strelnikova Viktoriia
Published: September 2020

Purpose. Experimental determination of the dependence of the magnetic field strength distributions and the density of induced currents in the metal of the tubular blank from its position in the cylindrical inductor internal hallow. Methodology. The electrodynamic problem solution using mathematical apparatus for analytical calculations. To describe the processes that arise in the material under processing, expressions for fields and currents flowing in non-magnetic metals under the action of a multi-turn cylindrical solenoid that derived from the system of Maxwell's equations. Accepted mathematical assumptions and simplifications do not affect the correctness of the results. Carrying out an experiment to determine the intensity of the magnetic field in the solenoid inner hollow and the induced currents density on the surface of the nonmagnetic blank. Results. The obtained experimental distributions of the magnetic field strength and induced currents with the full blank placement in the cylindrical inductor hollow correspond to the analytical relations derived earlier and coincide with the fundamental physical concepts of the processes taking place in the system. When the billet is partially placed in the inner hollow of the inductor, there is a sudden increase in the tangential magnetic field strength component. In this case, an extremum is observed in the end zone of the billet. This is explained by the concentration of induced currents in this region, as well as on the cylindrical surface of the billet. Originality. The average induction heating speeds correspond to the calculated values for the materials of the processed samples used in the experiment, which indicates the effectiveness of using this processing technology in equal measure, both non-magnetic metals and magnetic. The practical value of the results consists in the possibility of estimating the qualitative indices of the concentration of induced currents and heat release in the end part of nonmagnetic cylindrical preforms with their partial overlapping by an inductor to perform heating operations.
