The research is devoted to calculated-theoretical and applied analysis of thermo physical and thermodynamic properties of substances in gaseous phase used in heat-power engineering basing on cluster model. It is impossible to make measurements under all conditions that can be in heat-power engineering practice, so the theory is required that is based on reliable model. Such a model is considered to be a molecular-cluster model and computation schemes have been developed within its frameworks. These are schemes for computation of thermodynamic properties of substances in gaseous phase. The research of gases cluster model properties is due to necessity to develop and apply it with the use of experimental data in certain heat and power processes. Cluster model application is developed for thermodynamic potentials and for calculation of gas heat capacity. The areas of new research aims based on cluster model of a substance are connected with analysing structural compounds – equilibrium and “quasi-reactive”. The provided results have been achieved by analytic method of equation system calculation for clusters of any structure. Besides, it is required to test calculation methods where parameters of cluster model of a substance in gaseous state are considered. In this connection, modern computational program is used that is based on calculation of small, medium, and large clusters under certain state parameters.

Published: March 2021

The article considers the main directions of improving methods of state support for small innovative entrepreneurship. The main goal of government support measures is to ensure the development of small business as one of the most important elements of a market economy. As part of the implementation of this strategy, state support is enshrined at the legislative level. Formation of the primary support base for small innovative entrepreneurship is a complex and lengthy process. The main objectives of the state policy for the formation of market relations in the scientific and technical sphere are to stimulate the development of infrastructure for small innovative entrepreneurship, the development of competition by attracting financial resources and their targeted and effective use for the implementation of programs and projects for the creation of high-tech products. Innovation in any area of the economy requires financial investment. To obtain additional profit, improve the efficiency of the organization, obtain a socio-economic result, it is necessary to implement financial investments. Concrete ways of implementing state regulation and supporting the development of innovative entrepreneurship are proposed.

Authors: Abubakar Fakku Abdullahi , Bashir Abdulrahman Muhammad , Aminu Bello , Abubakar Panti Abubakar , Sambo Aliyu Ibrahim , Shehu Akuyam Abubakar
Published: March 2021

Background: Many rural areas, especially in developing world, the providers of obstetric care are either family physicians or general practitioners and most of these obstetric emergencies are seen in rural areas. Typical preeclampsia could be easily diagnosed due to it classical triad of maternal hypertension after 20 weeks and before 48 hours post-delivery, proteinuria and oedema. For atypical preeclampsia the diagnosis is usually missed due to its vague nature of presentation. The classical triad features may be absent and hence delayed in the management. Most cases of atypical preeclampsia are associated with high risk of maternal/foetal morbidity and mortality. Objective: The purpose of this case report is to update the knowledge of health care providers on the sundry presentation of atypical preeclampsia. Case summary: This report, describes a unique case of atypical preeclampsia, in which a normotensive primigravida at 37 weeks gestation, presented with severe headache and sudden loss of eyesight, with spot urine protein/creatinine ratio of 1.2, abnormal quadruple analytes (human chorionic gonadotrophin, alpha foetoprotein, inhibin -A and unconjugated oestriol ), platelets count of 96,700 per micro liter and packed cell volume of 24%. Conclusion: Absence of one or two of triad components should not preclude diagnosing preeclampsia, provided there are other features of organs/systems involvement.

Published: March 2021

Schwannoma is a benign, asymptomatic, solitary, and encapsulated tumor that grows slowly from peripheral, autonomic, or cranial nerve sheaths. The origin of the schwannomas in the facial nerve is rare and they tend to occur in the intratemporal part of the nerve. An intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma is usually a painless, slow-growing mass like the other benign parotid tumors. In this case report, we will discuss the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of two patients with intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma.

Published: March 2021

Objectives: To describe current trends in filled opioid prescriptions for Medicaid-enrolled children, adolescents and young adults (AYAs) from 2012 to 2016, and to identify patient characteristics and clinical settings associated with a higher probability of filled opioid prescriptions.Design: Retrospective cohort study of children and young adults enrolled in Medicaid from 2012 to 2016.Setting: 10-12 states participating in the Medicaid Marketscan claims database.Participants: Medicaid-enrolled children and young adults (0-21 years old).Exposure: Healthcare encounter(s) that could result in a new opioid prescription.Main Outcome Measure: “Opioid visits,” defined as healthcare encounters associated with a new opioid prescription filled within 7 days. Each opioid visit was assigned to the clinical provider most likely to have prescribed an opioid. Results: There were 113,068,027 visits among 4,427,838 Medicaid-enrollees and 1 percent (n = 1,130,006) of these were considered an opioid visit. Adjusted probabilities decreased from 1.2 percent to 0.8 percent from 2012 to 2016. The most frequently prescribed opioids were hydrocodone (48 percent; n = 653,011), codeine (23 percent; n = 305,644), and oxycodone (14 percent; n = 189,700); most of these were in combination with acetaminophen. The highest adjusted percentages by clinical setting were seen in dental surgery (29 percent), outpatient surgery (21 percent), and inpatient (upon discharge, 10 percent).Conclusions: Opioid prescriptions filled for Medicaid-enrolled children, adolescents, and young adults are relatively rare and adjusted probabilities decreased from 2012 to 2016. Among opioids filled, combination opioids and those with pediatric safety warnings remain commonly prescribed. Further research is critical to better understand drivers of prescribing practices and clinical indications for appropriate opioid use to inform improvements in pain management guidelines in this population.

Published: March 2021

Objective: To compare concomitant benzodiazepine (BZDs) use among chronic pain patients adherent to extended-release tapentadol (TapER) or oxycodone (OxnER) and estimate the number of lives potentially saved by switching patients to the less BZD coprescribed treatment.Design: Retrospective database study.Setting: Patients were identified using the IBM MarketScan® Commercial Database. The opioid overdose death estimates were obtained from the US national mortality register and were used to estimate the number of lives potentially saved by switching patients to the opioid treatment with lower rates of BZD coprescribing.Patients, Participants: The authors identified 30,213 chronic pain patients between October 2012 and March 2016. After propensity score matching, N = 2,355 and N = 6,761 patients were adherent (proportion of days covered ≥80 percent) to TapER and OxnER, respectively.Interventions: TapER versus OxnER, during the 180-day treatment. Main Outcome Measure(s): Proportions of BZD coprescribing, BZD dosing patterns in matched patients, and the estimated number of lives potentially saved by the opioid treatment switch.Results: TapER patients were less coprescribed BZDs during the treatment period (38.9 percent versus 49.2 percent, OR = 0.659, p < 0.001), and had fewer days of BZD supply per patient (mean: 49.6 versus 70.2 days, p < 0.001) with similar BZD average daily dose. Due to less frequent coprescribing of BZDs with TapER, it is estimated that ~800 deaths may have been avoided in the U.S. as a result of switching patients from OxnER to TapER.Conclusions: Among treatment-adherent patients, TapER patients had fewer BZD coprescriptions than OxnER patients had. Moreover, when BZDs were coprescribed, those BZD prescriptions were for shorter periods of time. Prospective studies are warranted to explore rates and consequences of BZD coprescribing among opioids.
miR-223 promotes cartilage differentiation
of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Published: March 2021

Introduction

The present investigation evaluates the role of miR-223 mimic in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) and postulates the possible molecular mechanism of its action.

Material and methods

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated from rats and cultured in chondrogenic medium to stimulate the differentiation of chondrocytes. Alcian blue staining was performed to determine the chondrogenic differentiation and expression of miR-223 in the BMSCs. Moreover, expression of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP-3), matrix metallopeptidase-13 (MMP-13) and collagen (Col II) was determined in miR-223 mimic and inhibitor treated BMSCs. OA was induced by injecting anterior cruciate ligament transection in rats followed by further treatment with the miR-223 mimic for the period of the treatment protocol. Level and expression of inflammatory cytokines were estimated in the cartilage tissue of OA rats. Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis and histopathology study were also performed.

Results

Data of the study reveal that expression of miR-223 was higher in chondrogenic differentiated BMSCs than normal. Expression of MMP-13 and NLRP-3 was lower, and expression of Col II was higher in miR-223 mimic treated BMSCs than normal. Moreover, data of the in-vivo study indicate that the expression level of cytokines was lower in the cartilage tissue of the miR-223 mimic treated group than the OA group. Treatment with the miR-223 mimic ameliorates the altered histopathology and expression of NLRP-3 in the cartilage tissue of OA rats.

Conclusions

Data of the study reveal that the miR-223 mimic enhances the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs by regulating the NLRP-3/IL-18/TGF-b pathway.

Published: March 2021

Introduction

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of different tendon reflexes in detecting diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

Material and methods

According to the changes in tendon reflexes, all patients with diabetes were divided into three strata: impaired Achilles reflex only, impaired lower extremity reflexes, and impaired lower and upper extremity reflexes. Taking nerve conduction studies (NCS) as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive ability of the tendon reflexes of these three strata, as well as the Toronto clinical scoring system (TCSS) and Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), were calculated. Then, the electrophysiological characteristics of diabetic patients with different tendon reflexes were analysed.

Results

Among the 240 patients studied, 92 (38.3%) presented evidence of neuropathy, which was confirmed by abnormal NCS, while 148 (61.7%) had normal NCS results. Taking NCS as the gold standard, stratum 1 yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 93.5% and 54.7%, respectively, while stratum 3 had higher specificity (96.6%) and lower sensitivity (34.8%) when compared to stratum 1. However, stratum 2 had the highest specificity (75.7%).

Conclusions

The assessment of tendon reflexes can be proposed as a test for screening diabetic polyneuropathy.
Increased IL-1a expression is correlated with bladder cancer malignant progression
Authors: Yao Shi-Jie , Ma Hong-Shun , Liu Guang-Ming , Gao Yue , Wang Wei
Published: March 2021

Introduction

To explore the function of interleukin 1α (IL-1α) in bladder cancer (BCa).

Material and methods

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to test the protein expression of IL-1α in BCa tissues. The relationship between IL-1α and clinical characteristics was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier curve method. The gene and protein expression was tested by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-q-PCR) and western blot, respectively. Colony formation and MTT assays were used to detect the potential of proliferation in vitro, and scratch and transwell chamber assays were used to detect the potential of invasion in vitro. Markers of proliferation such as Ki-67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and markers of invasion such as MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by western blot. Xenograft study was used for the in vivo experiment.

Results

We found that IL-1α was highly expressed in BCa patients while highly expressed IL-1α was significantly related to short overall survival and progression-free survival in BCa as well. Moreover, knockdown of IL-1α might inhibit the ability of cancer cells to proliferate and invade or migrate both in vitro and in vivo.

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that IL-1α might be a therapy target for BCa malignant progression.

Published: March 2021

Introduction

The present study was conducted to explore the expression of serum inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), with an attempt to analyze their relationship with the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Material and methods

It total 81 patients with coronary heart disease and 81 healthy adults were included as the observation group and the control group, respectively. The levels of serum interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 of the two groups were detected by ELISA, and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) was detected by the hydroxylamine oxidation method. Micro-RNA-497-5p (miR-497-5p) was screened out as a possible new CHD biomarker and its serum level was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The CACS of patients in the observation group was calculated by the Agatston method to analyze the correlation between the abovementioned indexes and CACS.

Results

With increase in the number of CHD lesions, the levels of IL-6, IL-12 and miR-497-5p rose gradually while the level of SOD decreased gradually. In the observation group, IL-6, IL-12 and miR-497-5p were positively correlated with CACS while SOD was negatively correlated with CACS.

Conclusions

Abnormal expression levels of serum IL-6, IL-12, SOD and miR-497-5p may be able to reveal the severity of the disease, and the combination with CACS is of potential value in terms of evaluating the condition of patients harboring coronary heart disease.

Introduction

Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection may develop coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Risk factors associated with death vary among countries with different ethnic backgrounds. We aimed to describe the factors associated with death in Mexicans with confirmed COVID-19.

Material and methods

We analysed the Mexican Ministry of Health’s official database on people tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection by real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (rtRT-PCR) of nasopharyngeal fluids. Bivariate analyses were performed to select characteristics potentially associated with death, to integrate a Cox-proportional hazards model.

Results

As of May 18, 2020, a total of 177,133 persons (90,586 men and 86,551 women) in Mexico received rtRT-PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2. There were 5332 deaths among the 51,633 rtRT-PCR-confirmed cases (10.33%, 95% CI: 10.07–10.59%). The median time (interquartile range, IQR) from symptoms onset to death was nine days (5–13 days), and from hospital admission to death 4 days (2–8 days). The analysis by age groups revealed that the significant risk of death started gradually at the age of 40 years. Independent death risk factors were obesity, hypertension, male sex, indigenous ethnicity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, immunosuppression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, age > 40 years, and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Only 1959 (3.8%) cases received IVM, of whom 1893 were admitted to the intensive care unit (96.6% of those who received IMV).

Conclusions

In Mexico, highly prevalent chronic diseases are risk factors for death among persons with COVID-19. Indigenous ethnicity is a poorly studied factor that needs more investigation.
From Amateur Video to New Documentary Formats : Citizen Journalism and a Reconfiguring of Historical Knowledge
Authors: Ruchel-Stockmans Katarzyna
Published: March 2021

The Arab Spring of 2011 appeared on the news in countless video testimonials
shot by participants and bystanders. Yet the sheer amount of such visual
data, combined with the untranslatability and poor quality of the footage,
delivers an often opaque and ambiguous material. Peter Snowdon’s film
The Uprising (2013) appropriates and reassembles this amateur footage.
Compared to the 1992 film Videograms of a Revolution by Harun Farocki
and Andrei Ujică, The Uprising raises the question of a possible knowledge
shift produced and performed by the amateur video maker. In an analysis
of these films, this chapter investigates the possibilities of documenting
historical events through mobile video footage.
Mediated Narratives of Syrian Refugees : Mapping Victim–Threat Correlations in Turkish Newspapers
Authors: Tunç Cox Ayça
Published: March 2021

Turkey has become the first and main transition hub for Syrian refugees.
Furthermore, Turkey is spatially as well as culturally simultaneously
referred to as European and Asian or Middle Eastern depending the point of
view. Therefore, the representation of refugees in the Turkish press proves
significant for the knowledge produced about refugees. Accordingly, this
chapter strives to investigate the coverage of Syrian refugees in newspapers,
which constitutes only one aspect of the overall reception of the issue in
Turkey, and therefore does not claim to be exhaustive. Yet, because daily
newspapers are still among the most important media sectors in Turkey,
they constitute a special case of knowledge production worth investigating.

The Ulama: Pragmatism and Political Acquiescence
Authors: Abdullah Walid Jumblatt
Published: March 2021

This chapter investigates the position of the ulama within the political
system in Singapore. It interrogates the various cleavages amongst the
ulama, the strategies they undertake to further causes which they deem
important, the issues they shun, and the thought processes behind their
decisions. The ulama, just like other actors, are pragmatic creatures,
fully cognizant of the costs and benefits of their actions. Different ulama
prioritize various goals, depending on their own worldviews and ranking
of what is important to them. As a result, the ‘pragmatic alim’ is able to
operate within the political opportunity structures in an attempt to
maximize his/her gains, while being aware of what has to be given up in
order to achieve those objectives.

The Effects of Macroeconomic Factors on Bank Loan Interest Rates in Turkey
Authors: Münevvere Yıldız
Published: March 2021

The purpose of the study to reveal how interest rates on loans offered to
consumers by banks in Turkey are affected by macroeconomic factors. For
this purpose, the personal loan interest rate is considered as the consumer
loan interest rate, mortgage loan interest rate and vehicle loan interest rate.
Macroeconomic factors, inflation, gold, exchange rate and money supply
are included in the analysis. Three models have been established using
monthly data for the period January 2009-June 2020. Firstly, cointegration
test was applied to the models and it was determined that there is at least
one cointegration relationship in each model. Long-term estimation results
for the models are obtained by using the FMOLS method. In general, it was
observed that the increase in the exchange rate tended to increase the bank
loan interest rates, while the increase in the money supply lowered the bank
loan interest rates. As a result of the causality analysis, bidirectional
causality relationship from consumer loan interest rate to money supply and
inflation, unidirectional causality from interest rate to gold price,
unidirectional causality relationship from exchange rate to interest rate was
determined. Unidirectional causality relationship from mortgage loan
interest rate to money supply, unidirectional causality from exchange rate
to interest rate was found. While it was determined that there is a
bidirectional causality relationship between vehicle loan interest rate and
money supply, gold price and inflation. It is expected that these results may
guide banks and policymakers to determine interest rate policies.
PROBLEMS OF THE FORMATION OF SOCIAL-PEDAGOGICAL GOAL-SETTING

IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IN KRAINE

(SECOND HALF OF THE XIX – EARLY XX CENTURIES)
Authors: Biletskyi Oleksii
Published: March 2021

The modern domestic education system needs a reform, the essence of which should be

its constructive modernization and targeted improvement of its quality. This is dictated by

the exposure of the Ukrainian state to the world level of science and technology, formation

of a new type of public relations, as well as the time itself. Given that the school must

always fulfill social demands of society, there is a problem of developing a new goal of

national education and, accordingly, the formation of a new concept of pedagogical goal-

setting for the broad social strata of the population. To prevent errors in this process the

author of the article relies on historical experience. The article reveals the main problems of

pedagogical and social goal-setting in the context of public education development in

Ukraine in the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries; the concept of goal-setting in

social and pedagogical aspects is clarified; the conditions that contributed to the General

idea of the need for public school are analyzed along with the analysis of the main bills and

regulations of the Ministry of public education of the Russian Empire, starting with the

basic provisions "on public education" 1767-1864 years; the role of public organizations,

particularly local governments as Zemstvo, reflected the formation of a system of goals in

pedagogical and social aspects for public education in Ukraine of the selected period. In

the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that as a result of the Russian

Empire influence during this period, the development of public education in Ukraine did

not have constant positive dynamics. This had a certain impact on the nature of

pedagogical and social targeting in the state. However, despite the strict government policy

aimed at russification of the Ukrainian people, opposition from the Church and the Holy

Synod, under-funded public schools by the Ministry of education, socio-educational

targeting of Ukraine gradually became characterized by democratization and humanization

of education, a lot of focus and flexibility, and most importantly, education began to

acquire secular nature.

Após ter reivindicado as políticas econômicas que contribuíram para o fracasso do governo Dilma, a Fiesp participou da derrubada da presidente e da formulação da agenda ultraliberal que alçou Temer ao poder. Este comportamento expôs o pragmatismo histórico da Fiesp, que busca alianças para alcançar seus interesses, mas não hesita em rompê-las, com certa autonomia, a depender do contexto. Para testar essa tese, recuamos aos governos Lula e analisamos como o pragmatismo e a busca por autonomia contribuem na construção da agenda da Fiesp. Abordamos, qualitativamente, fontes primárias e secundárias. Sem partido definido, a Fiesp tem uma agenda ancorada na convenção liberal-desenvolvimentista, que pendula entre pautas desenvolvimentistas e neoliberais. O comportamento pendular da Fiesp é sensível às conjunturas. Na década passada, diante do pacto lulista e da retomada do crescimento, movimentou-se moderadamente. Nesta década, com a queda das taxas de lucro e a crescente desindustrialização, acompanhou a radicalização dos abastados.

Neste Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso de Especialização em Desenvolvimento, Etnicidade e Políticas Públicas, objetivou-se analisar os indicadores de Bem-Estar Humano sob a perspectiva do Bem Viver dos povos tradicionais. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi de caráter qualitativo exploratório, com a utilização do método de revisão bibliográfica dispondo de artigos científicos, livros e e-books que nos possibilitam subsídios para a relação entre desenvolvimento e bem viver. Faz uma leitura das alternativas e qual horizonte se evidencia. Uma amostra disso está nos Indicadores de Bem Viver para os Povos Tradicionais, apoiados nos sobrenomes dados ao desenvolvimento e índices, interligando-se às necessidades axiológicas com as necessidades existenciais. Os resultados apontam preocupações compartilhadas pela justiça social e pela igualdade social quando do cruzamento das necessidades axiológicas e existenciais, para a construção do pensamento em relação ao Bem Viver dos povos tradicionais. Esse trabalho sugere reflexões sobre as leis naturais e leis físico-humanas que sofrem alterações numa tentativa de trazer uma relação de bem viver mais saudável e amigável aos povos tradicionais.

Tecnologia é um termo muito utilizado ultimamente em todas as áreas do conhecimento, e principalmente na educação. Conceituada como um produto da ciência e da engenharia que envolve um conjunto de instrumentos, métodos e técnicas que visam à resolução de problemas e, além disso, é uma aplicação prática do conhecimento em diversas áreas de pesquisas humanas. Para isso, o trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a importância das tecnologias educacionais e a utilização desses recursos na implementação da prática docente em sala de aula. Diante da investigação, suscitou-se um problema sobre qual a utilização das tecnologias para a prática pedagógica do professor numa perspectiva de inclusão digital. A metodologia adotada é a pesquisa bibliográfica. Detroz et al. (2015) define esse tipo de pesquisa como uma busca por referências teóricas, trabalhos relacionados ao tema e até mesmo ao estado da arte […]. Desse modo o texto apresenta algumas definições sobre tecnologias, dos conceitos mais tradicionais até os mais atuais. Traz uma breve discussão sobre os desafios encontrados pelos professores ao utilizar essas novas ferramentas na sala de aula. Busca também uma reflexão sobre a relevância das novas ferramentas para o desenvolvimento da prática docente para a inclusão de uma sociedade digital.

GRAMÁTICA: APOIO OU OPRESSÃO?
Authors: Carvalho Maria das Dores Aguiar
Published: March 2021

Saber, gramática significa ser capaz de distinguir as expressões de uma língua, as categorias, as funções e as relações que entram em sua construção, descrevendo com elas sua estrutura interna e avaliando sua dramaticidade. Tudo isso é reflexo de um contexto sócio-histórico-ideológico, ou seja, de um modo de nossa sociedade ver os fatos em um determinado momento de sua história, que regula e afeta o uso da linguagem, mudando isto, mudará o texto e sua construção dentro de uma variedade da língua e o efeito de sentido que ele poderá produzir.
