Authors: Babintseva Ekaterina A.
Published: October 2022

The author of the study addresses the urgent problem of maintaining the welfare of the urban environment. An integral component for ensuring the comfort of citizens is the stabilization of the ecology of a modern city. The rapid development of megacities and the increase in the proportion of the urban population has a negative impact on the state of the environment. The level of urbanization of cities expanding due to the influx of population is inversely proportional to their ecological state. The aim of the study is to analyze the specifics of modern urbanization, as well as the main environmental problems of large cities. In the process of writing this article, the following research methods were used: analysis of the problems of urbanization and its impact on modern large cities; comparison of urbanization rates in major cities around the world; compilation of data on world urbanization statistics of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Scientific articles and modern scientific works on the ecology of urban systems were analyzed. The main measures for the reorganization of the urban environment were proposed, the implementation of which will help preserve the natural environment and improve the situation of people living in cities.

Published: October 2022

The problems of obtaining socially significant services for all groups of the population never lose their relevance. Recently, problems associated with obtaining highly effective and affordable medical care have become especially important. First of all, we are talking about health care services financed from the budget and compulsory medical insurance funds. However, paid medical services are no less important in ensuring a high quality of life for people. In order to ensure the availability of paid medicine for all groups of the population, regardless of income level, the state is implementing a number of measures to support medical organizations, including in the field of taxation. However, the existing measures are clearly not enough, it is necessary to develop and apply additional tools to improve the quality and accessibility of medical care. The authors consider the possibility of applying a number of these measures.

Verapamil Hydrochloride is indicated to control blood pressure in individuals due to postural and nocturnal–diurnal variations in the biological clock. The once-daily administration of Verapamil Hydrochloride is handy for patients to comply with the dosing regimen prescribed. This research aims to develop stable, bio-equivalent, cost-effective, and commercially feasible Verapamil Hydrochloride extended-release tablets, 120 mg, 180 mg and 240 mg. Inorder to achieve this aim, our objective was to explore a simple aqueous granulation involving conventional excipients viz. Sodium Alginate, Povidone, Microcrystalline Cellulose and Magnesium Stearate. The drug to polymer ratio of 1:1.35 was found to be optimum. Every unit operation involved in the process was completely optimized to achieve reproducibility and to avoid drug release variation. The designed process was scaled-up from a batch size of 75,000 tablets to 750,000 tablets. During scalability, no difference is observed in the physico-chemical characteristics of the blend or tablets. The blend and content uniformity results were found to comply with USP requirements. The manufactured product was found stable in bottle and strip packs at accelerated stability conditions for 6 months. The maximum level of the highest unknown impurity observed was 0.1% and is well within the ICH Q3BR3 requirements. Hence based on stability study results, shelf-life storage of 24 months at controlled room temperature was prescribed for the product. The end product was found to be more cost-effective (3.2 to 6.4 Indian rupees) than the brand product available nationally (within India) priced at 4.7 to 9 Indian rupees, and the physico-chemical characteristics, drug release, and stability of the manufactured drug product were comparable to the brand product available in the USA market. The similarity factor 'f2' was found to be more than 75. In the Pharmacokinetic study, the test to brand product ratio at 90% confidence interval was within 80.00-125.00%, exhibiting the developed product's bio-equivalence with the brand product. Novelty in this research is in the comprehensiveness of work done to demonstrate stability, bio-equivalence, cost-effectiveness and commercial ability aspects which were not reported elsewhere in the already published research work on Verapamil extended release tablets.
Immune system disturbances after a new coronavirus infection COVID-19
Authors: Glazanova T. V. , Shilova E. R.
Published: October 2022

During the pandemic, a large number of works devoted to COVID infection have appeared, which have made it possible to understand the pathogenetic features of the disease and to accumulate significant clinical experience. However, the question remains about the degree of participation of humoral and cellular (primarily T-cell) immunity in the mechanisms of immune defense and resistance to COVID-19, the individual features of the immune response in different subjects. Post-COVID syndrome is currently a separate diagnosis included in the ICD-10 International Classification of Diseases, but the long-term effects of the SARS-CoV-2 on the immune system are not yet well established. At the same time, a long-term increased activity of the immune system can contribute to the development of autoimmune reactions. The review of the literature presents the results of studies, mainly devoted to immune system disorders after COVID infection. The changes in subpopulations of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, their functional properties, the complement system and other factors of humoral immunity, as well as the production of a number of cytokines are described. Data on immune disorders in post-COVID syndrome and during the convalescence period are presented in detail. Since COVID-19 is an infection that has a significant impact on the hematopoietic system and hemostasis, special attention is paid to the category of subjects with an increased risk of severe complications. Among the latter are elderly patients, persons suffering from diabetes mellitus, oncological and oncohematological patients, in particular, with hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue neoplasia, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma. The review pays special attention to the peculiarities of the course of COVID-19 and the response of the immune system to vaccination in patients with oncohematological diseases. Deciphering the significance of individual links of cellular and humoral immunity in patients who have undergone COVID-19 is an important issue in creating effective vaccines and improving therapeutic methods.

Objective: is to develop a model for early diagnosis of mixed infection of the non-erythema migrans form of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis using the assessment of the complete blood count and the blood leukocyte indices of patients in the first week of the disease.

Materials and methods. The retrospective clinical study involved Group 1 of 27 patients with the mixed infection of the non-erythema migrans form of Lyme borreliosis and the febrile form of tick-borne encephalitis and Group 2 of 29 patients with the monoinfection of the non-erythema migrans form of Lyme borreliosis, who were hospitalized no later than in the 7th day of the disease. The average age of patients in Groups 1 and 2 was 50.6±3.4 and 49.9±2.3. We analyzed 14 parameters of the complete blood count as well as calculated the leukocyte intoxication index and the body resistance index. Statistical significance assessment was carried out using the chi-square test and ROC analysis. Logistic regression model was developed using STATISTICA 12.0 modules.

Results. The levels of the band and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (<0,001 и p=0,002) and the leukocyte intoxication index (p<0,001) were significantly higher and the levels of the body resistance index (p<0.001), lymphocytes (p<0.001) and platelets (p=0.004) were lower in Group 1 than in Group 2. Informative predictors of mixed infection included the body resistance index (AUC=0.77), leukocyte intoxication index (AUC=0.75), the band and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (AUC=0.74), lymphocytes (AUC=0.77), and platelets (AUC=0.70). Logistic regression model has a “very good” predictive value (AUC=0.85) and include two parameters: body resistance index and platelets (×109/L).

Conclusion. The developed model has a “very good” predictive value for early diagnosis of the mixed infection of the non-erythema migrans form of Lyme borreliosis and tickborne encephalitis before laboratory diagnosis confirmation.
Gestão, política curricular e algumas lições de um Brasil pandêmico
Authors: Silva Francisco Thiago
Published: October 2022

Nesse artigo temos por objetivo central discutir, a partir do cenário brasileiro devastado pela pandemia causada pela COVID – 19 algumas alternativas para as políticas de “gestão curricular” por meio de cinco lições elaboradas, com base na pedagogia histórico-crítica. Metodologicamente, analisamos os cinco principais pareceres do Ministério da Educação que orientam as práticas de ensino durante o surto da doença, em seguida estabelecemos as relações dessas prescrições com alguns desafios de um Brasil mergulhado numa política negacionista. Preliminarmente elencamos as seguintes reflexões: existe um caráter contraditório na pasta de educação do MEC: ora incentivando o retorno irresponsável para as atividades presenciais, ora recomendando a adoção remota ligada ao caráter engessador, controlador e tecnificado da BNCC, há uma visão religiosa e conservadora que entende, o currículo como sendo um amontoado de conteúdos mínimos ou apenas uma lista de habilidades e competências a ser cumprida, uma retomada da visão liberal, tecnicista e tradicional.
processo de integração social de crianças e adolescentes indígenas Warao na escola pública em Mossoró-RN
Authors: Silva Eliane Anselmo da , Barbosa Raoni Borges , Leite Lucas Súllivan Marques
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo reúne um conjunto de notas etnográficas e de reflexões antropológicas sobre o processo atual de integração social dos Warao na Escola Pública de Mossoró-RN, objetivando organizar o esforço de apreensão crítica que vem sendo construído no âmbito da pesquisa Os Warao em Mossoró: a dinâmica migratória e o processo de aldeamento urbano no cenário pandêmico da Covid-19. A dinâmica em curso desde o ano de 2021 deste processo sinuoso que envolve o pequeno grupo indígena “estrangeiro” e a sociedade brasileira local acolhedora, em sentido amplo, tem avançado significativamente no corrente ano de 2022. Contudo, persistem entraves burocráticos por parte das autoridades brasileiras e, sobretudo, equivocações a nível simbólico, moral-emotivo e político-ideológico de ambas as partes (dos Warao e da sociedade brasileira envolvente) sobre como (e se) deve prosseguir essa integração Warao na Educação Formal da Escola Pública, em termos abstratos e principiológicos. E, a nível concreto e situacional, em unidade escolar local apesar de todos os pesares tão bem conhecidos na já precarizada e sobrecarregada Educação brasileira. Esse processo burocraticamente tenso, pedagogicamente desafiador e antropologicamente rico de integração dos Warao na Escola Pública em Mossoró-RN foi problematizado em três momentos argumentativos: a chegada dos Warao no urbano mossoroense; os diplomas legais que garantem a Educação Escolar ao Indígena e ao Migrante; o processo concreto vivido de integração social dos Warao na Escola Estadual Padre Alfredo.
Designações de currículo
Authors: Tavares Andrezza Maria Batista do Nascimento , França-Carvalho Antonia Dalva , Silva Bento Duarte da
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo é produto de uma pesquisa bibliográfica cujo objetivo foi a apreensão de sentidos sobre as designações de Currículo com base nas teorias tradicional, crítica e pós-crítica, apresentando, também, o Currículo Integrado concebido para o Ensino médio com foco na Educação Profissional. O estudo é de natureza qualitativa e utiliza de técnicas de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental, inspiradas na perspectiva da psicologia sócio-histórica (AGUIAR; OZELLA, 2013). A revisão sobre o assunto ancora-se no pensamento de Gesser (2002), Saviani (2003), Arroyo (2007), Lineusa, (2013), Silva (2005; 2017) e Tavares (2019) Tavares, Santos e Sena Neto (2020), dentre outros pesquisadores do Currículo. Os resultados desvelam que o currículo tradicional consiste em uma visão educativa para o alcance dos interesses da sociedade industrial, cujo sentido vincula-se ao controle e à eficiência; que o currículo crítico tem o sentido de campo de contradição social, controle e poder e que o currículo pós-crítico se move a partir de um território de incerteza cognoscente, de diversidade de significações e de discurso. Revelam, também, que o currículo integrado, situado na confluência do currículo crítico e pós-crítico, tem o sentido de percurso formativo para o desenvolvimento humano integral de jovens, nomedadamente, para a inclusão no mercado de trabalho, e por isso, para ser exequível, deve ter seu sentido compreendido, prioritariamente, pelos professores do ensino médio.
The Effect of Investor Inattention on non-GAAP Disclosure
Authors: Basu Riddha , Pierce Spencer R. , Stephan Andrew
Published: October 2022

We examine whether investor inattention influences managers’ non-GAAP earnings disclosures. Hirshleifer and Teoh’s (2003) theoretical model predicts that managers are more likely to disclose upwardly-biased non-GAAP metrics when investors are inattentive. Employing a measure that captures exogenous variation in institutional investor inattention, we find that managers are more likely to provide non-GAAP disclosures, particularly those where non-GAAP earnings are greater than GAAP earnings, when inattention is high. Moreover, inattention is positively associated with the magnitude of non-GAAP exclusions, which suggests managers present better non-GAAP performance to inattentive investors. Consistent with managers exploiting investors’ limited attention, we find that stock prices respond more strongly to non-GAAP exclusions when investors are inattentive and that managers are more likely to respond to inattention with income increasing non-GAAP disclosures if they sell shares following the disclosure. Taken together, these findings suggest that managers respond opportunistically to inattentive institutions by disclosing aggressive non-GAAP earnings metrics.
A genome guided evaluation of probiotic bacteria from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera
Authors:   , Baker Laura
Published: October 2022

Manipulating the microbiota has the potential to mitigate disease. Probiotics are currently a popular approach used to promote gut health. However, beneficial attributes are often strain-specific; therefore, an in-depth classification is valuable when evaluating such products. Here, the draft genomes of 16 bacteria (from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera) are presented (referred to as CUL isolates), including: L.acidophilus (CUL21, CUL60), L.gasseri (CUL09), L.helveticus (CUL76), L.salivarius (CUL61), L.plantarum (CUL66, CUL66N), L.paracasei (CUL37, CUL07, CUL08), L.casei (CUL06), L.rhamnosus (CUL63), L.fermentum (CUL40, CUL67), B.bifidum (CUL20) and B.animalis subsp. lactis (CUL34). Furthermore, multi-locus sequence analysis revealed that CUL strains are novel entries into GenBank. Genomes were mined for beneficial and deleterious features of probiotic bacteria. As such, antibiotic resistance genes and phenotypic antibiotic resistance (ABR) profiles were established. Generally, most phenotypic resistance was linked to recognized resistance profiles e.g., kanamycin and chloramphenicol (in lactobacilli) and tetracycline (in bifidobacteria). However, ampicillin resistance was common, although a genomic basis was not established. Indeed, the correlation between genotype and phenotype was often low. In addition, when challenged with a combination of antibiotics and bile, a phenotypic shift from antibiotic-resistant to sensitive typically occurred. Interestingly, L.helveticus CUL76 developed enhanced resistance against chloramphenicol and vancomycin. Beneficial traits, including adherence, bile tolerance, and host interaction properties were identified in all CUL strains. L.helveticus CUL76 putatively encoded five bacteriocins, offering scope for future antimicrobial studies. Bile Salt Hydrolase (genes with bile tolerance and cholesterol reduction capabilities) were identified in several CUL species. L.plantarum CUL66N expressed bsh genes when challenged with bile and could reduce the bile acid pool (including free cholesterol) in vitro, indicating a bsh mediated, cholesterol-lowering capability of CUL66N.Here, the first in-depth genomic analysis of CUL strains is presented, allowing future research to continue using a genome-guided approach to evaluate health-promoting attributes of CUL bacteria.
The Reform and Perfection of China's Civil Litigation Level System: The Establishment of the Third Trial System as the Main
Authors:   School of Law, Central University of Finance and Economics, Beijing 100081, China, Wang Yifei
Published: October 2022

China has been implementing a civil litigation hierarchy based on a system of two trials with final adjudication, supplemented by a trial supervision procedure of retrial, with a view to enabling our civil litigation process to better achieve the established value objectives; over time, this long-running procedural system has revealed serious problems in terms of institutional framework and specific rules. In recent years, the Supreme People's Court has issued a series of relevant policy documents to amend and adjust our civil litigation hierarchy in many aspects, including the criteria for accepting cases, retrial procedures and the elevated jurisdiction system. At present, our civil litigation level system is no longer purely a two-trial final adjudication system, but is closer to the substantive three-trial final adjudication system.

INTERNALISASI LILLAHI TA’ALA DALAM KONSTRUKSI KONSEP AKUNTANSI “GIVING”
Authors: Luayyi Sri
Published: October 2022

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk membangun konsep akuntansi “giving” dengan menginternalisasikan Lillahi Ta’ala. Penulis meleburkan dua paradigma, yaitu paradigma Islam dan kritis, sedangkan fenomenologi digunakan sebagai bagian dari metode dan alat analisis yang menghasilkan fenomenologi Islam kritis. Peneliti menemukan fenomena bahwa semakin banyak pengeluaran untuk zakat, infaq, shodaqoh semakin meningkatkan penghasilan PT.AML dari tahun ke tahun. Loman merupakan fenomena yang timbul karena keyakinan pemilik perusahaan, bahwa rizki yang didapatkan dari hasil usahanya bukan hanya miliknya, melainkan ada hak orang lain yang harus didistribusikan. Bagi perusahaan, pembukuan sesuai SAK bukan hal penting dalam menjalankan operasional usaha, sehingga selama ini perusahaan hanya menggunakan pembukuan sederhana yang isinya penerimaan dan pengeluaran. Praktik akuntansi pada PT. AML menunjukkan bahwa SAK tidaklah satu-satunya alat untuk mencapai keberhasilan sebuah usaha. Berangkat dari sifat loman telah memunculkan praktik akuntansi baru yang tidak sama dengan SAK. Konsep akuntansi “giving”, yang dibangun dalam penelitian ini adalah sebuah konsep yang dibangun atas dasar loman lillahi Ta’ala, dengan mengalokasikan seberapa besar manfaat yang mampu diberikan perusahaan untuk kesejahteraan orang lain, hal itulah yang menjadi novelty dalam penelitian ini.

Published: October 2022

Abstract: The subject regarding the participation of Romanian prisoner soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army in theaters of operations of the Romanian Kingdom’s Army is very extensive and of great interest. General and specialty literature, memoirs, studies, articles, collections of documents, etc. issued during the war and, above all, in the post-war period, as well as rich archive sources allow a relatively original approach on this phenomenon. Starting from the contact with various archives, memoirs, and secondary sources, the present paper is an attempt to retrace the setup stages of the first Transylvanian and Bukovinian Romanian Volunteer Corps in Russia and the activity of Vicar Iacob Popa in enlisting and enrolling volunteers. Iacob Popa is an almost unknown and equally unstudied figure of historical Blaj. He lived and worked in a time of great national and political unrest for the Romanians in Transylvania in the first half of the 20th century. We attempted to outline several stages of his activity, starting with the moment he volunteered for the enlistment commissions in Russia and continuing with his propaganda work for enlisting prisoners from Transylvania, Bukovina and Banat in the Romanian Army, as well as with the records of his successes and failures in the mission he was entrusted with. The last part of the study is dedicated to the events that marked the end of the volunteer enlistment activity.

Authors:   PhD candidate, Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Morariu Iuliu-Marius
Published: October 2022

Abstract: Based on the information provided by the Bistrița-Năsăud Department of the Romanian National Archives, the present article tries to outline the situation of the Salva Greek-Catholic Parish during the First World War. We regard the role played by Priest Iuliu Morariu as quite important, for he has led this community between 1907 and 1946, and helped to preserve the spirit of national identity and morals in the context of the organised denationalisation activity promoted by the Austro-Hungarian authorities. This article also discusses the general situation of the village, the activity of the pupils from this Parish during the aforementioned period, and the way in which national identity was preserved thanks to the activity of the Greek-Catholic Gymnasium of the former Military Border District in Năsăud (town in the neighbourhood of Salva). Aspects like marriage, birth, child mortality, the lives of those who remained at home, that of the wounded soldiers coming back, the contribution of the Church to the formation of Romanian intellectuals (like the correspondent member of the Romanian Academy, physician Leon Daniello, who graduated from the above-mentioned Gymnasium of Năsăud during the war), and the peoples’ efforts despite the unfavourable context are emphasized here, in a research in which the documentary sources are compared with the pauper historiography on the investigated topic.

The representatives of the Diocese of Arad, Bishop Ioan I. Papp, Gheorghe Ciuhandu, Roman Ciorogariu, official delegates in Alba-Iulia, left important notes regarding the atmosphere in Alba-Iulia. In addition to these notes, there are also some made by several priests who participated in Alba Iulia accompanying groups of peasants. All these testimonies demonstrate the involvement of the clergy and the Church in the achievement of national unity.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of MSMEs, which often face problems in financing. However, on the other hand, financial institutions find it difficult to find a database of MSMEs to channel their loans. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Sources of data were obtained from various sources, both primary and secondary. Primary data is obtained from statements made by informants from the Financial Services Authority, the Association of Indonesian Crowdfunding Services, crowdfunding players, and MSMEs that have taken advantage of crowdfunding. Meanwhile, secondary data were obtained from several published articles. The results show that the government has helped provide a source of financing for MSMEs, both through banking and non-banking. However, there were several obstacles that occurred in the field, both from MSMEs and financial institutions. The presence of securities crowdfunding instruments raises new hopes for MSMEs in fulfilling financing.
