Dermatoses of fungal etiology in the anogenital area: errorsin the management and ways to eliminate them
Authors: Ignatovskiy A V , Ignatovsky A V
Published: February 2022

The article discusses the most prevalent errors in the course of examining and treating patients with dermatoses in the
anogenital area. Different forms of mycoses are diagnosed in 58% of male and 25% of female patients. Isoconazole
(Travogen) demonstrated a high clinical efficacy for the treatment of dermatomycoses due to providing a high skin
concentration of the active ingredient. Travocort, a combination drug comprising isoconazole nitrate and diflucortolone
valerate, was indicated to treat patients with burdened allergic anamnesis and mixed infection (bacterial and fungal
association) at the first stage of treatment to reduce the risk of developing complications in the form of eczematization.

Authors: Bakulev A L , Kravchenya S S , Murashkin N N , Bakulev A L , Kravchenya S S , Murashkin N N
Published: February 2022

There was a clinical and ultrasonic study of the clinical efficacy of levocetirizine as a part of a complex therapy in 60
patients with eczema. The dynamic calculation of the EASI, EQ-5D and DLQI indices as well as analysis of ultrasound
showings made it possible to confirm the benefits of glencet vs. cetirizine for achieving the clinical effect. The eczema
therapy with glencet contributes to the elimination of both exudative and proliferative parts of the complex pathologic
chain of the disease in patients with this type of dermatosis.

Published: February 2022

A study of different types of skin sensitivity in patients with keloid and hypertrophic scar tissues was conducted in order
to optimize clinical diagnostics of scar hypertrophy of the skin. A symmetrical area of unaffected skin was examined as
control. The revealed results suggest a sharp increase of deep skin sensitivity with simultaneous reduction of other types
of sensitivity, which was observed in 97% of subjects, as a new differential sign of keloid scar tissues.
Development of the molecular typing protocol for C. Trachomatis based on the sequencing of ompa,pbpb, ct046, ct058, ct144, ct172 genes

Published: February 2022

The article is devoted to the development and validation of a standard operating procedure entitled «Molecular typing
of С. trachomatis for assessment of the clonal structure and extent of genetic diversity of С. trachomatis strains
circulating in the territory of the Russian Federation.» The studies that involved the typing of C. trachomatis strains
obtained from regions of the Russian Federation with the use of six c. trachomatis genes (ompA, СТ046, cT058, cT144,
cT172 and pbpB) revealed their significant heterogenicity with the prevalence of the E serotype. However, the typing of
c. trachomatis for six genes at one time seems to be too time-consuming and long-lasting and is hard to be interpreted,
which explains the need to develop other typing protocols using a smaller number of relevant genes (not more than two
or three - by analogy with NG-MAST).
Characteristics of the course of atopic dermatitis in children residing under conditions ofanthropogenic pollution
Authors: Perlamutrov Yu N , Klyuchnikova D E , PERLAMUTROV YU N , KLYUCHNIKOVA D YE
Published: February 2022

Goal: to assess the impact of environmentally hazardous factors on the formation of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children.
Materials and methods: 108 children aged 1-18 were engaged in the study. The AD severity was analyzed based on the
SCORAD index, data from the medical history and frequency of development of complications in children depending
on the place of their residence. The elemental composition of hair was analyzed to assess the impact of anthropogenic
pollution on childrens organisms. The Southeastern Administrative District (SEAD), which is unfavorable in terms of
ecologic environment, and Western Administrative District (WAD) in Moscow, which is free of any human-induced
pollution, were chosen as comparison areas.
Results: More severe forms of AD in terms of clinical manifestations prevailed in children residing in the SEAD. The number of
exacerbations per year was three times as high as the same index in children from the WAD, and there was no trend towards
seasonality. The course of AD in children permanently residing in the district with human-induced pollution was characterized by
complications with the accumulation of toxic elements in hair against the background of deficiency of essential elements as well
as increased elimination of calcium from organisms resulting in low adaptive regulatory mechanisms.
Conclusion: when children suffering from AD reside in a highly polluted area on a regular basis, this results in chronic
intoxication of their organisms with heavy metals, which leads to deficiency of essential elements, reduction of adaptive
mechanisms and severe course of dermatitis.
What is a combination treatment and how it may be used in onychomycosis
Authors: Sergeev Yu V , Sergeev V Yu , SERGEEV Y V , SERGEEV A Y
Published: February 2022

Combination treatment of onychomycosis is based on supplementation of systemic antifungal therapy with different
topical techniques, which now include antifungal nail lacquers. Controversies in establishing potential and efficacy of
combination treatment in onychomycosis may be overcome by rational administration of any treatment modality after
careful evaluation of both the disease and the patient. Application of antifungal nail varnishes such as 8% ciclopirox
offers several benefits in treating onychomycosis. With improved efficacy and safety, onychomycosis combination
therapy appears to be less expensive and more reliable in terms of reduced rates of relapse and re-infection. Russian
and international clinical trials and studies with ciclopirox nail lacquer have revealed the indications and proved the high
effectiveness of certain algorithms of combination treatment.

Sixty women (average age: 44.8+1,1) underwent examination with the use of Skin XP Pro software, laser Doppler
flowmetry and CAH psychological test for assessment of the effect of mesotherapy (MT) with the use of Ekyced P.I. cream
on age-related changes in facial skin. A course of MT with the use of Ekyced P.I. cream, which was applied prior to and
after mesotherapy, as well as Ubichinon Compositum and Placenta Compositum resulted in an evident reduction in the
intensity of wrinkles, increase in the level of elasticity and hydration as well as normalization of the level of skin oiliness.
The use of Ekyced P.I. regenerating cream resulted in a considerable reduction in the frequency of development of MT
side effects such as edemas, erythema, purpura. Mesotherapy with the use of Ekyced P.I. in women older than 45 was
accompanied by a more evident increase in the level of skin hydration and elasticity than in women younger than 45.

Authors: Lonescu M A
Published: February 2022

The article presents the results of a study of the oil-in-water emulsion comprising TLR2-regul®, a complex patented by Uriage Laboratories. At the first stage of the study, skin explants from healthy donors were incubated in the physiological salt solution, oil-in-water indifferent cream excipient, with monoclonal anti-TLR2 antibodies and with the oil-in-water study emulsion, and then samples in each groups were divided into three sub-groups and incubated with extracts of M. furfur, p. acnes и S. aureus. The immune-enzyme assay method demonstrated a significant reduction in the production of IL-8 and higher quantity of β-defensin 2 in case of incubation with the study emulsion vs. the control group. At the second stage, the authors assessed the efficiency of the study emulsion in the treatment of patients suffering from seborrheic dermatitis (n = 143), acne (n = 34) and atopic dermatitis (n = 48) as a monotherapy vs. the cream base. After four weeks, patients with seborrheic dermatitis had a considerable reduction of erythema, peeling, itching and stinging, reduction in the number of recurrences; after three months, the group of acne patients had a considerably reduced number of inflammatory elements; after three weeks of treatment, patients with atopic dermatitis had a considerable reduction of erythema, infiltration and exudation as well as itching and shrinking. Thus, the study drug suggests new approaches to the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases with the pathogenesis complicated by P. acne, S. aureus or M. furfur due to its ability to modulate the immune response.

Phenotypic methods were initially used for bacterial typing yet they have a number of drawbacks limiting their use. Methods of molecular and genetic typing have become wide-spread today. Among these methods, bacterial typing based on multilocus sequence
typing (Multilocus Sequence Typing - MLST) has been developing at the fastest rate. However, schemes of molecular
and genetic typing of STD pathogens as compared to other bacteria are insufficiently developed, which considerably complicates
the planning of measures aimed at the reduction of their spread.

Results of an experimental study of the UV radiation effect on the photosensitive skin protein
Authors: Savchenko I A , Ruksha T G , Salmin V V , Zykova L D , Savchenk o I A , Ruksha T G , Salmin V V , Zykova L D
Published: February 2022

TsPO (18 kDa translocator protein) is a photosensitive protein regulating processes of skin proliferation and apoptosis. Changes in the conformational properties of TsPO correlate with the intensity of cell proliferation. Changes in the TsPO level in the ratsskin after exposure to UV radiation were assessed with the use of immunohistochemical staining. It was revealed that the dose of 200 J/m2 causes a unidirectional increase in the TsPO and PCNA (a cell proliferation marker) levels in the skin. UV radiation in the doses of 400-600 J/m2 induces a reduction of TsPO and PCNA expression. Thus, there is a possibility that TsPO participates in the regulation of changes in the intensity of cell proliferation in the skin under the exposure to UV radiation.

Published: February 2022

To investigate the actual practice of antibacterial therapy of sexually-transmitted bacterial diseases (STD) in adult patients at the various regions of the Russian Federation as well as to evaluate the concordance of the antibacterial therapy with national standards, a multicenter retrospective analytical trial was carried out. Investigational data of 1250 subjects (61% males, 39% females, the mean age of 28.8 ± 9.2) with early types of Lues (n = 341), uncomplicated urogenital gonococcal infection (n = 309), candidiasis (n = 310), mycoplasmosis (n = 137) and ureaplasma infection (n = 153), being treated at prevention and treatment facilities of 10 cities of Russia from January to December 2007 were analysed. 1567 prescriptions for the treatment of the underlying disease were registered, among which 1352 (86.2%) prescriptions regarded antibacterial agents. The therapy of early forms of Lues most frequently included benzathine benzylpenicillin (38.4%), procaine penicillin (28.3%), ceftriaxone (26.9%), and benzylpenicillin (5.5%); therapy of uncomplicated urogenital gonococcal infection included: ceftriaxone (57.5%), spectinomycin (9.3%), doxycycline (7.2%), and azithromycin (5.1%); urogenital chlamydial infections: azithromycin (28.2%), doxycycline (22.2%), clarithromycin (14.9%), josamycin (11.1%), and ofloxacin (7.9%); urogenital mycoplasmal and ureaplasmal infections: doxycycline (32.4 and 31.3%), josamycin (21.4 and 21.3%), azithromycin (15.2 and 11.3%), clarithromycin (14.5 and 11.3%), levofloxacin (4.1 and 6.9%). Frequency of administration of ther drugs was less then 5% for each one. The study has demonstrated a high variability of choice of antibacterial agents by physicians along with an evident tendency to exceeding the total doses during the course therapy. The prescribed therapy was conforming with national recommendations in 71.8% of the subjects, while the total treatment doses were consistent with recommended doses in 24% of patients only, that indicates a necessity to change the established practice of bacterial STD therapy in Russia.

Perubahan UUD NRI Tahun 1945 membawa perubahan besar dalam sistem kekuasaan kehakiman. Pembentukan lembaga baru seperti MK dan KY selain MA, diharapkan dapat mewujudkan cita-cita reformasi dengan prinsip checks and balances. Manifestasi pengaturan kewenangan lembaga kekuasaan kehakiman secara atribusi diatur dalam Pasal 24, 24A, 24B dan 24C UUD NRI Tahun 1945.  Berdasarkan sifatnya kewenangan kekuasaan kehakiman mencakup kewenangan limitative dan non limitative yang diatur melalui undang-undang masing-masing lembaga. Namun, pengaturan kelembagaan kehakiman tersebut menimbulkan dilematisasi dan ketidak harmonisan hukum. Hal ini diakibatkan multi tafsir pengaturan kewenangan masing-masing lembaga. Sehingga polemik kelembagaan tersebut diselesaikan melalui proses judicial review. Permasalahan muncul ketika proses revisi undang-undang yang dibatalkan oleh MK, tidak dipenuhi dalam proses legislasi sehingga tetap memunculkan disharmonisasi hukum antar kelembagaan kekuasaan kehakiman.
PEMBERIAN KONSESI KEPADA INVESTOR DI ATAS TANAH ADAT DAN EKSISTENSI HUKUM ADAT.
Authors: Joesoef Iwan Erar
Published: February 2022

Pemberian konsesi oleh pemerintah kepada investor telah menimbulkan banyak konflik pertanahan antara investor-investor pemegang izin, lisensi ataupun konsesi dan masyarakat hukum adat. Data konflik yang telah dicatat oleh Komisi Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia, Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara maupun Sawit Watch telah mencapai 500-800 kasus konflik tanah antara investor-investor tersebut dan masyarakat hukum adat. Tehadap konflik-konflik tersebut Mahkamah Konstitusi Indonesia kemudian telah mengeluarkan putusan yaitu dalam Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 35/PUU-X/2012 yang memutuskan bahwa eksistensi hutan adat tidak lagi masuk sebagai bagian dari hutan negara. Artinya Pemerintah harus mengakui eksistensi tanah adat bukan merupakan tanah negara. Menjadi pertanyaan adalah bagaimana kebijakan pemerintah dalam memberikan izin konsesi kepada para investor yang akan mengelola sumber-sumber daya alam dan mineral di atas tanah adat dengan tetap menghargai hukum adat setempat. Penelitian penulisan konseptual ini adalah normatif yuridis dengan pendekatan teori yang dilakukan oleh Lon L. Fuller, yang menyatakan bahwa hukum tertulis yang tidak didasarkan pada hukum adat yang telah mengalami saringan, tidak akan mempunyai basis sosial yang kuat dan menjadi hukum yang tidak efektif serta mengakibatkan merosotnya wibawa hukum. Hasil kajian ini diharapkan pemerintah yang diberikan Hak Menguasai Negara dapat melakukan kewenangannya sesuai konstitusi khususnya dalam membuat kebijakan pemberian konsesi pemanfaatan sumber daya alam di atas tanah adat kepada investor, tanpa menimbulkan konflik hukum dengan Masyarakat Hukum Adat.

Gabon’s green gold: a bibliographical review of thirty years of research on okoumé (Aucoumea klaineana Pierre)
Authors: Guidosse Quentin , Jardin Patrick du , White Lee J.T. , Lassois Ludivine , Doucet Jean-Louis
Published: February 2022

Introduction. Aucoumea klaineana Pierre is the most harvested timber species in Central Africa and plays a key role in the economy of Gabon. This tree is considered “Vulnerable” for more than three decades by the IUCN because its population is assumed to have been reduced by at least 50% as a result of logging. The objective of this review is to synthesize recent and relevant knowledge in order to update this status. It focuses more specifically on ecology, population dynamics, silviculture and impacts of logging. Literature. Its natural range mainly covers Gabon. It is a light-demanding and gregarious species that forms root anastomoses. It principally establishes itself in abandoned fields and savannahs. In mature forest its regeneration is rare and limited to large gaps. Selective logging only allows significant regeneration along roads. However, at the scale of Gabon, the species is abundant and its renewal is ensured. Legal logging does not threaten the species. However, after decades of logging focusing on best shaped trees, a production of lower quality is feared. The implementation of a thoughtful silviculture could be a solution. Conclusions. Aucoumea klaineana is not vulnerable under IUCN A1 criterion. However, the maintenance of a high-quality production over the long term calls for the implementation of silviculture based on a thorough knowledge of the factors affecting stand dynamics, especially the role of the rhizosphere. Although long described, the functioning of root anastomoses has never been studied in depth.

It covers the aspects of attitudes toward the learning process, motivation, integrative orientations, and instrumental orientations. The results of this research were classified into two points. The first finding showed that the student had been motivated instrumentally and integratively, and the second finding showed that the student had mostly been motivated instrumentally. For integrative aspects, being integrated with the society of the target language is not considered to be prioritized. The student expects it while doing his long-term practical goals, and meanwhile, for instrumental aspects, they cover academic goals, career goals, and self-development. Overall, it can be simplified that motivations had been contributed to the student’s achievements by determining his persistence in reaching a specific goal.

This research is entitled “An Analysis of Deixis in Catching the Sun Novel by Tony Parsons”. It was carried out to identify the type of deixis contained in the novel and to describe to whom and what they refer to in the dialogues. The source of the data was a corpus from the dialogues in chapter 29, chapter 30, and chapter 31. This research is in qualitative form and used a descriptive method. The data obtained in this novel was in form of phrases and sentences uttered by the characters. After doing the analysis, it was found that the novel contained five types of deixis such as person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, social deixis, and discourse deixis. Person deixis was uttered 411 times, spatial deixis was uttered 24 times, temporal deixis was uttered 9 times, social deixis was uttered 3 times, and discourse deixis was uttered 15 times. The reference meanings of person deixis mostly refer to the characters, the spatial deixis refer to the places in the story, the temporal deixis refers to the time during the conversation happened, the social deixis refers to an honorable character, and the discourse deixis refers to the expressions in the same utterances uttered by the speaker. Meanwhile, the dominant type of deixis was person deixis. Hopefully, the result of this research can be useful for readers and students.Keywords: Deixis analysis, Catching the sun, Tony parsons novel, Literary works

Published: February 2022

El presente artículo mide la satisfacción de los clientes en una empresa comercializadora de productos para limpieza. El método de investigación empleó muestro intencional, delimitándose a su cartera de clientes. Se aplicaron 90 encuestas diseñadas a partir de la metodología SERVPERF. El análisis de los datos se realizó empleando lógica difusa para reducir la ambigüedad de las respuestas. En la medición de satisfacción del cliente se proponen ponderaciones para las dimensiones e ítems analizados, porque, aunque todas son relevantes, de acuerdo a los criterios operativos y estratégicos de las empresas, algunos pueden tener mayor relevancia para el cliente.

La propuesta de la ponderación permitió crear un semáforo para categorizar a los clientes de acuerdo con su nivel de percepción. Se identificó que 4% de los clientes de la empresa está dispuesto a cambiar de proveedor, 30% consideran hacerlo, y el 66% pueden considerarse leales.
Avance en el estudio del microbioma de garrapatas: una visión hologenómica en busca de nuevas estrategias para su control

Published: February 2022

Las garrapatas son ectoparásitos hematófagos que transmiten diversos agentes infecciosos, incluyendo bacterias que afectan al ser humano y otros animales, y cuyas enfermedades generan pérdidas económicas importantes. Sin embargo, aún permanecen sin esclarecerse los mecanismos en los que están involucrados la microbiota de las garrapatas y el patógeno en el vector durante el proceso de transmisión. Actualmente, sabemos que los artrópodos son capaces de albergar una gran biodiversidad de microorganismos como bacterias, protozoarios, hongos y virus, y que éstos, desempeñan funciones fundamentales en el establecimiento, reproducción, fisiología, nutrición, y probablemente también con la capacidad vectorial. En este sentido, la relación patógeno-microbiota, representa una caja negra de interacciones que podrían acercarnos más a la elucidación y comprensión de las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores. Al momento, diversos estudios Metagenómicos han sido utilizados para la caracterización del microbioma de diferentes hospederos, y más recientemente de muchos vectores artrópodos de importancia médico-veterinaria. No obstante, poco se sabe acerca de la influencia de la microbiota sobre la capacidad vectorial, lo cual, resulta de suma importancia para comprender mejor la relación hologenómica que guardan los vectores con los patógenos que transmite, e incluso con las bacterias no patógenas que poseen. La elucidación de las relaciones biológicas entre los microorganismos presentes en las garrapatas, los patógenos y no patógenos que transmite y su hospedero, proporcionará información invaluable, que contribuya al desarrollo de estrategias novedosas de control de plagas de artrópodos y patógenos transmitidos por vectores.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the sustainable tourism performance trend in Loreto Bay National Park in Baja California Sur, Mexico and its areas of influence, covering from 2007-2017. For this purpose, indicators of socioeconomic, tourism, environmental and technological dimensions were selected. Data was obtained from bibliographic searches, as well as interviews with decision- makers and tourism operators, calculating sustainability indexes for each dimension and the general sustainability index. Correlation and principal component analyses were performed to determine the contribution degree of each indicator to sustainability. The results indicated that sustainability had increased. However, one of main obstacles during this study was information availability at municipal level and even more at protected area level. Thus, the proposed model may contribute in decision-making about managing a protected area with visitors. The study concludes with a series of recommendations and method contributions.
A Facilities Management Solution for Montessori in Redlands
Authors:   , Mertens William
Published: February 2022

Montessori in Redlands is a small, private, non-profit Montessori school in Redlands, CA serving toddlers to pre-teens. Their campus includes six buildings nestled in grapefruit groves and spread across twelve acres. The school requested assistance implementing a solution for managing these facilities and their contents. Staff members identified three problems of high concern: (a) lost classroom items due to lack of inventory tracking, (b) unexpected costs to replace failing building components, and (c) emergency first responders lacking access to high-quality campus maps. This project implemented a GIS to create a facilities management solution to address these concerns and allow for expansion in the future. Utilizing ArcGIS Online, the campus data are stored in a series of Hosted Feature Layers and are manipulated in Web Maps, Web Apps, Dashboards, and the Field Maps mobile application. Within these layers are building floorplans that use the ArcGIS Indoors information model to dynamically store and query indoor features in a way that makes sense to the user. All features “know” where they are in relation to others so users can locate items between buildings and floors without having to interact with the raw data. Indeed, ease of use was considered one of the most important aspects of the system. Consequently, the implemented system can be accessed, adjusted, and expanded without touching ArcGIS Pro.
Mapping the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
Authors:   , Huggins Jeremiah
Published: February 2022

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Intra-American Slave Trade displaced millions of people from Africa all over the globe. Many people throughout the Western Hemisphere who are descended from slaves that crossed “The Middle Passage” are now largely incapable of retracing their family origins. Many of these displaced people are located in the Caribbean. This is a major spatial and historical problem that could be addressed in a user-friendly way using Geographic Information Systems. To remedy this lack of retractability, this project aims to create an easy-to-navigate website, hosted by the University of Redlands, that will allow these descendants to better identify their ethnic and historical origins. The scope of this project will be limited to a few Caribbean islands, but the project will continue forward as an ongoing piece of work. In doing this, the intended result is a University of Redlands affiliated and managed website linked to a GIS map, incorporating public app and Field Map app. Also included will be an analysis of the problem, and an effective remedy to the problem via GIS. The hope is this project will contribute to a process of recovering these lost origins for millions in the Western Hemisphere.
Convolutional Neural Network-Based Target Detector Using Maxpooling and Hadamard Division Layers in FM-Band Passive Coherent Location
Authors: Park Geun-Ho , Park Ji Hun , Kim Hyoung-Nam
Published: February 2022

The constant false alarm rate (CFAR) has been widely used in radar systems to detect target echo signals because of its simplicity. With the recent development of different types of neural networks (NNs), NN architecture-based target detection methods are also being considered. Several studies related to NN-based target detectors have introduced multi-layer perceptron-based and convolutional neural network (CNN)-based structures. In this paper, we propose a CNN-based target detection method in frequency modulation (FM)-band passive coherent location (PCL). We improved the detection performance using a maxpooling layer and a Hadamard division layer, which are parallelly placed with a CNN layer. Moreover, in our method there is no need to determine the specific cell configuration (e.g., cell under test, reference cells, and guard cells) because the proposed method obtains the trained kernels by end-to-end learning. We show that the trained kernels help in the extraction of either signal or noise components. Through the simulations, we also prove that the proposed method can yield an improved receiver operating characteristic compared to that of a cell-averaging CFAR detector for FM-band PCL in a homogeneous environment.

Published: February 2022

A liquid permittivity sensing method is proposed, which is based on measuring the S21 of an on-chip capacitor submerged in a material under test (MUT). The real part of permittivity can be estimated from ɛ′ – |S21| fitted relation in the frequency range of 100 MHz–5 GHz, which are pre-calibrated with four kinds of known materials. The on-chip capacitor is realized with a top metal in a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process, which has an inter-digitized structure featuring a small size of 150 μm × 195 μm. A simple circuit model of the capacitor is used to develop ɛ′ – |S21| relation with a fitting parameter. It shows less than 6.4% root-mean-square (rms) error of ɛ′ for propanol (C3H8O) at 100 MHz–5 GHz.
