The foundation of treatment of otitis media in children on the modern stage
Authors: Preobrazhenskaya Yu. S. , Drozdova M. V. , Ryazantsev S. V.
Published: November 2019

The pathological inflammatory process in the Eustachian tube, as well as the catarrhal stage of acute otitis media, are the most common conditions in the practice of a pediatric otolaryngologist. The article presents literature data on acute pathology of the middle ear, epidemiology, etiology and standard conservative therapy. The fact of the influence of persistence of herpes virus infection on the development of hyperplastic processes in the lymphoid ring of the pharynx in children is described. It was noted that there are few data on the conduct of etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy in patients with acute middle ear pathology infected with pathogens of latent infections in the literature. The article presents a clinical case of successful treatment of the patient with acute otitis media and timely identified markers of an active infection process. Also the determination of clear indications and the timing of the specific conservative treatment of acute otitis media in children, based on an analysis of the etiological aspects of the development of this disease, the duration and somatic condition of the patient allowed to reduce the percentage of complications and relapses in the development of acute otitis media. When selecting adequate therapy for acute otitis media in children, it is necessary to consider the etiology of the disease in each individual patient. In the presence of acute lymphoproliferative syndrome in combination with middle ear inflammation, it is necessary to verify the causative factor with a laboratory examination (diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with antibody detection) for herpes virus infection (Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalavirus, herpes simplex virus 6 type), with further selection of specific therapy and observation of an otolaryngologist and infectious disease specialist.
Role of antibiotic therapy in the treatment of streptococcal infection
Authors: Maltseva G. S. , Grinchuk O. N.
Published: November 2019

The article states the principles for antibiotic therapy for chronic tonsillitis (CT) and acute tonsillopharyngitis (ATP). The greatest attention is paid to the non-angina CT, when the patients, as a general rule, are deprived of antibiotic therapy. At the same time, the article provides data of St. Petersburg Research Institute of ENT, whereby at least 40% of patients with CT have streptococcal etiology of the disease caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS) that is confirmed by not only bacteriological, but also immunological research methods (increase in antistreptolysin-O). In addition, the number of diseases caused by groups C and G beta-hemolytic streptococci has increased in recent years. These groups of streptococci contribute to the development of complications like those caused by GABHS, and therefore the doctor’s attitude towards them should be more critical and in some respects - the same as to GABHS. As you know, streptococcal infection is one of the most dangerous due to the development of internal organs and systems complications. This proposition justifies the need for systemic antibacterial therapy in patients with CT, when they are diagnosed with streptococcal infection, regardless of the presence of angina. In vitro studies showed that GABHS has good sensitivity to penicillin preparations. However, it is not always possible to achieve treatment targets in practice. Given that the duration of antibiotic therapy for streptococcal infection should be at least 10 days, it is difficult to achieve full medication adherence. In this regard, prolonged-release penicillins, such as Bicillin-5, gain ground. The article substantiates the use of this drug in CT, discusses a clinical case, which shows the medical history of a girl with coexistent affection with GABHS of the pharynx and vagina. Only 4-month administration of Bicillin-5 allowed to cure the patient, having achieved GABH eradication.
Relative Expression of Mouse Udp-glucuronosyl Transferase 2b1 Gene in the Livers, Kidneys, and Hearts: The Influence of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Treatment
Authors: Jarrar Yazun , Jarrar Qais , Abu-Shalhoob Mohammad , abed Abdulqader , Sha'ban Esra'a
Published: November 2019

Background:

Mouse Udp-glucuronosyl Transferase (UGT) 2b1 is equivalent to the human UGT2B7
enzyme, which is a phase II drug-metabolising enzyme and plays a major role in the metabolism of xenobiotic and
endogenous compounds. This study aimed to find the relative expression of the mouse ugt2b1 gene in the liver, kidney,
and heart organs and the influence of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) administration.

Methods:

Thirty-five Blab/c mice were divided into 5 groups and treated with different commonly-used NSAIDs;
diclofenac, ibuprofen, meloxicam, and mefenamic acid for 14 days. The livers, kidneys, and hearts were isolated,
while the expression of ugt2b1 gene was analysed with a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction technique.

Results:

It was found that the ugt2b1 gene is highly expressed in the liver, and then in the heart and the kidneys.
NSAIDs significantly upregulated (ANOVA, p < 0.05) the expression of ugt2b1 in the heart, while they downregulated
its expression (ANOVA, p < 0.05) in the liver and kidneys. The level of NSAIDs’ effect on ugt2b1 gene expression
was strongly correlated (Spearman’s Rho correlation, p < 0.05) with NSAID’s lipophilicity in the liver and its
elimination half-life in the heart.

Conclusion:

This study concluded that the mouse ugt2b1 gene was mainly expressed in the liver, as 14-day administration
of different NSAIDs caused alterations in the expression of this gene, which may influence the metabolism
of xenobiotic and endogenous compounds.
Comparison of Preprocessing Techniques for Dental Image Analysis
Authors: Sukanya Arockia , Krishnamurthy Kamalanand , Balakrishnan Thayumanavan
Published: November 2019

Various dental disorders, such as lesions, masses, carries, etc. may affect the human dental
structure. Dental radiography is a technique, which passes X-rays through dental structures and
records the radiographic images. These radiographic images are used to analyze the disorders present
in the human teeth. Preprocessing is a primary step to enhance the radiographic images for
further segmentation and classification of images. In this work, the preprocessing techniques such
as unsharp masking using high pass filter, bi-level histogram equalization and hybrid metaheuristic
have been utilized for dental radiographs. The performance measures of the preprocessing techniques
were analyzed. Results demonstrate that a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm for dental radiographs
achieves higher performance measures when compared to other enhancement methods. An
average Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of 21.6 was observed in the case of a hybrid
metaheuristic technique for dental image enhancement.

Data integrity as a criterion for assessing the security of corporate information systems resources
Authors: Lachikhina A. B. , Petrakov A. A.
Published: November 2019

The paper considers the information resources protection assessing in the information security management in an industrial enterprise. The main aspects of information security as a process are given. It is proposed to use data integrity as a criterion for resources security assessing of the corporate information system, defined as the probability of a possible violation of the integrity in the corresponding process of processing information. The groups of technological operations related to the process of information processing are considered. An approximate set of probabilities of possible events that contribute to maintaining data integrity is given. For the mathematical formulation of the problem, each of the events is considered as an alternative with a given optimization criterion. The introduction of a target function for a variety of alternatives allows you to select the best one and determine the cause of the integrity violation. The dependence of the total probability of integrity violation on a priori probability distribution is noted.

Особенности формирования электронной структуры при синтезе соединений Ti-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-AlC, Ti-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-AlN, Ti-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-SiC и Ti-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-SiN
Authors: Заводинский В.Г. , Горкуша О.А.
Published: November 2019

The electronic structure and total energy of the Ti2AlC, Ti2AlN, Ti2SiC, and Ti2SiN compounds are investigated by methods of the density functional theory and pseudopotentials. Electron state density curves have been constructed for crystal systems and for systems differing in order. It has been shown that even in completely disordered systems there is a qualitative similarity of the electronic structure with an electronic structure of the respective crystalline compounds. This similarity is further enhanced as the degree of ordering increases. The total energy of the studied systems grows with increasing disorderance in about the same way for all studied systems except Ti2SiC. In the latter case, it turns out to be much more sensitive to the degree of disordering, which seems to be due to the greater role of the covalent component of interatomic bonds.

Authors: Nakorji Usman Haruna , Adedokun E A , Umoh I J , Shettima Abdullazeez
Published: November 2019

Abstract This paper presents a 2-tier scheme for mitigating coordinated call attacks on VoIP networks. Call interaction pattern was considered using talk and salient periods in a VoIP call conversation. At the first-tier, Short Term Energy algorithm was used for call interaction feature extraction and at the second-tier Hidden Markov Model was used for caller legitimacy recognition. Data of VoIP call conversations were collated and analyzed to extract distinctive features in VoIP call interaction pattern to ascertain the legitimacy of a caller against coordinated call attacker. The performance metrics that was used are; False Error Rate (FER), Specificity, Detection Accuracy and Throughput. Several experiments were conducted to see how effective the mitigating scheme is, as the scheme acts as a proxy server to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server. The experiments show that; when the VoIP server is under coordinated call attack without a mitigating scheme only 15.2% of legitimate VoIP users had access to the VoIP network and out of which about half of the legitimate users had their calls dropped before completion, while with the 2-tier mitigating scheme, when the VoIP server is under coordinated call attacks over 90.3% legitimate VoIP callers had their calls through to completion

Basic programming is one subject that tends to be difficult for students to learn. Along with the development of technology, several researchers have provided solutions to solve this problem, by developing educational games, educational media, interactive learning media, and other auxiliary media. However, on average they have not used or adhered to the syntax of various existing learning models. This study focuses on designing educational media that uses the problem-posing learning model to study the material of branching control structures in basic programming learning which is recommended as a learning medium for vocational high school students. Educational media named TOLSYASUPI-EduMed. We use the highest type of research and development (R&D), the level 4 that we adopted to be adapted into a number of steps that are in line with the needs of this research area. Observation techniques are used as a form of generative research which is a type of user experience research, to explore information before designing a product/application. The side that we highlight here is how the form of educational media design by following the syntax of the problem-posing learning model. Then do an A/B testing which is assessed by experts to choose the best design with results that are type B designs with a percentage of 90.9%. We also state the analysis of the functional aspects of educational media to strengthen the validity of this design idea.

Authors: Pamungkas Rizaldi Ramdlani , Putrada Aji Gautama , Abdurohman Maman
Published: November 2019

Measurement of body blood sugar levels is one of the important things to do to reduce the number of people with diabetes mellitus. Non-invasive measurement techniques become a blood sugar measurement technique that is more practical when compared to invasive techniques, but this technique has not shown too high levels of accuracy, specificity and sensitivity. For this reason, the non-invasive measurement model using NIR and ANN is proposed to improve the performance of non-invasive gauges. Non-invasive blood sugar measuring devices will be built using a nodemcu board with photodiaodes and NIR transmitters whose data is then processed using ANN models compared to invasive blood sugar data obtained from 40 data. 40 data obtained then used as raw data to build ANN models which 75% percent of it use as training data and 25% od it will be use as testing data to validate accuration of the model been built, the split of data doing randomly without any interference from programmer or model designer. All the data gathered are data collected from all volunteers which willingly to test their blood glucose using invasive glucose meter and non invasive glucose meter which been built. The invasive glucose meter used to gather raw data of blood glucose is SafeAccu-2 with 95% level of accuracy so the accuracy and error parameter calculated in this research are based on that 95% level accurcy of the invasive device.

Authors: Zreik Mohamad
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature and characteristics of Sino-Russian relations since 1640 where diplomatic and commercial relations were established in the far east of Siberia. A historic background will be given, in order to highlight the real reasons behind this good relation that is turning into an alliance. The paper will shed the light on important events and dates that occurred in this relation, such as the year 1858, which had disputes on the border. The author shows that the relations between China and Russia have been faced with twists and turns since its beginnings because of geographical, cultural, historical and political interdependence. This paper analyses the relationship between Russia and China in the light of international political changes as the world enters a new stage of international order, especially after the decline of US influence and China's announcement of its One Belt One Road initiative (OBOR) and its political, cultural and economic openness to the world.
About and Based on the Book by Mikhail Taratuta “Russians and Americans”. Book review: Taratuta M. America and Russia. We are so Different. Moscow: Alpina Publisher; 2019. 318 p
Authors: Bubnova Natalia I
Published: November 2019

In her review of Michail Taratuta’s recently published volume “Russians and Americans”, Natalia Bubnova offers a thorough analysis of how the book depicts the troubled state of affairs in the U.S.-Russia relations, the historic and cultural factors that formed the national identities of Americans and Russians and the resulting differences in the mentalities of the two peoples, as well as the state of the current domestic life in the United States and Russia, the particularities of their health care and educations systems, their special features of gender relations, the functioning of local charity organizations, etc. Having lived and worked for many years in America, Taratuta, on a whole number of topics, focuses primarily on the United States. These include the ongoing political schism under the Trump’s Administration, the migration crisis and racial contradictions, the gun control problem, and the rise of both the left- and right-wing radicals. While siding with Taratuta’s assessments on a number of issues, Bubnova offers an alternative viewpoint on others, yet acknowledges the importance of the book’s overall perspective on the United States as a vibrant, resourceful and dynamic society, and not necessarily aggressive or conspiring against Russia. Though proceeding from an assumption that Americans and Russians have few similarities, Taratuta simultaneously believes that it is imperative to overcome the current confrontation, for which he blames both sides. The review points out to the social trends - some of which are reflected in the book - which, despite the political alienation, nevertheless manifest certain signs of cultural rapprochement.
PROBLEMATIKA DAKWAH DI NEGERI MINORITAS MUSLIM
Authors: Aziz Muchlis , Zulfadli Zulfadli , Nurainiah Nurainiah
Published: November 2019

Allah created human beings with religious instincts, namely the religion of monotheism (Islam). The Koran claims that the religious teachings it introduces are compatible with all humans. Islam as a truth, then Islam must be spread throughout the world and this is the responsibility of every human being on this earth as a caliph. Every Muslim, of course, has an obligation to propagate the da'wah of Islam, even though they experience various kinds of obstacles and obstacles. This certainly applies to Muslims who are in Australia with a Muslim population in Australia currently around one million people. With this quantity of Muslim citizens in Australia, Islamic da'wah is needed to transfer the spread of the values of Islamic da'wah to all Muslims. One way is by establishing Islamic-based educational institutions. At present, the Islamic Council in Australia is intensively building educational facilities based on Islamic education, with the aim of making it easier for them to transfer Islamic knowledge to the Islamic community in Australia. Spreading Islamic da'wah in the current era is full of challenges, especially spreading Islamic da'wah in Muslim minority countries such as Australia. Australia is a country that has a broad geographical position, and upholds the values of freedom, in that case the Australian government guarantees plurality. In the midst of Australia's position that promotes freedom, Islam must be able to place itself in the midst of society and also practice the teachings of Islam in a pluralistic society. Australia has approximately 100 beliefs/religions, with Islam as a minority religion, so the challenge of Islamic da'wah is to keep on doing good communication and living side by side with the differences.Keywords: Community, Da'wah and Muslim.
A Profile of the SAIL Databank on the UK Secure Research Platform
Authors: Jones Kerina H , Ford David Vincent , Thompson Simon , Lyons Ronan
Published: November 2019

Background

The Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank is a national data safe haven of de‑identified datasets principally about the population of Wales, made available in anonymised form to researchers across the world. It was established to enable the vast arrays of data collected about individuals in the course of health and other public service delivery to be made available to answer important questions that could not otherwise be addressed without prohibitive effort. The SAIL Databank is the bedrock of other funded centres relying on the data for research.

Approach

SAIL is a data repository surrounded by a suite of physical, technical and procedural control measures embodying a proportionate privacy-by-design governance model, informed by public engagement, to safeguard the data and facilitate data utility. SAIL operates on the UK Secure Research Platform (SeRP), which is a customisable technology and analysis platform. Researchers access anonymised data via this secure research environment, from which results can be released following scrutiny for disclosure risk. SAIL data are being used in multiple research areas to evaluate the impact of health and social exposures and policy interventions.   

Discussion

Lessons learned and their applications include: managing evolving legislative and regulatory requirements; employing multiple, tiered security mechanisms; working hard to increase analytical capacity efficiency; and developing a multi-faceted programme of public engagement.

Published: November 2019

A prospective study was conducted on 60 thalassemia major patients (33 males and 27 females ) in whom the LV function and its parameters where assessed by echocardiography in relation to serum ferritin during the period from 2nd October 2007 to 2nd February 2008, in Sulaimani pediatric teaching hospital. Patient and method: The age ranges of patients were ranged between 3 – 18 years old.  The diastolic function of LV was assessed by (M-mode, D-mode, and pulse dopplar study of mitral and pulmonary vein) done.  Among 60 patients seen, 25% shows normal LV diastolic function, the rest is 13% relaxation dysfunction, 27% shows Psuedonormal diastolic dysfunction and 35% shows restrictive pattern of LV diastolic dysfunction. Mean serum ferritin in normal and abnormal diastolic LV dysfunction was not so different. In addition nearly all LV parameters as ( LVEDD , LVESD , LA diameter , aortic root diameter , IVC , E ,A ,E/A ratio , A-E time , DT time , S,D,R  waves ) where non significantly related to serum ferritin level , this means that P value is less than 0.05 . This means that the level of serum ferritin has no relation with the above parameters in which 75% of those parameters were already abnormal in comparison to the age of the child. Another finding shows that 25% of normal diastolic function is seen in serum levels above 1500 ng/l, in addition, 50% of diastolic dysfunction will associate serum ferritin of less than 500ng/l . P value is more than 0,05 this means that its non-significant. In conclusion, there is a non-significant correlation between serum ferritin and LV diastolic function, so serum ferritin is not a dependant indicator for myocardial iron deposition.

Ending and/or Continuation. A Few Aspects on Kálmán Csomasz Tóth’s Work and the Internet.
The Protestant congregations have been singing in the churches from the beginnings but not as the official part of the service. The singing style changed in the 20ᵗʰ century but only in the case of Latin liturgical rites. Singing and the manner of Scripture reading were not similar in the Middle Ages to the Biblical times either. During the centuries, new forms and manners of content expression were adopted by the church. The content and the form were not inseparable. The free-style and set forms of the service, reading and singing for the ministers and the congregation significantly changed. They did not completely break away from the roots, however during the centuries there were several earlier elements that were left aside. In the mid-20ᵗʰ century, Kálmán Csomasz Tóth (1902–1988) wished to stop the process of oblivion by inventorying the Hungarian Protestant airs dating back to the 16th century. And thus, he edited the first Hungarian handbook of this kind. In 2017, another important work by Kálmán Csomasz Tóth was published, namely the air collection known by the profession as RMDT I. It both preserves and creates values, and for this reason, it is our responsibility to preserve it and pass it on by means of today’s modern preservation techniques, namely the Internet. In his study, the author discusses the works that our generation needs to preserve even more so because it sensitively touches upon the current and future use of the Reformed book of chant.
Scale development of occupational identity and testing model of antecedents and outcome variables of occupational identity

Published: November 2019

The first purpose of this study was to define the construct of occupational identity and develop the scale of occupational identity, the second purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of occupational identity using exploratory common factor analysis and test the discriminant validity of occupational identity with workplace satisfaction, and third purpose of this study was to test the model of antecedents and outcome variables of occupational identity using confirmatory factor analysis. For fulfilling these purposes, three studies were conducted. Data were gathered from 390 workers in study 1, 505 workers in study 2, 1,115 workers in study 3. As a result, the three-factor structure of occupational identity was stably replicated, although the sample was changed. The occupational identity had discriminant validity with workplace satisfaction. Except for person-occupation fit(a subfactor of occupational identity) had a high correlation with general, occupational satisfaction(a subfactor of workplace satisfaction), other subfactors of occupational identity generally had low correlations with other subfactors of workplace satisfaction. It was found that the occupational identity was derived from occupational reputation, dedication to the occupation, occupational pride, and mission to the occupation. And the occupational identity resulted in the purpose of the worker’s life and intention to continue the worker’s occupation. Based on these results, We made discussions about implications, limitations, and future research tasks.
Who can enjoy the unavoidable emotional labor

Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study was to examine the positive effect of self-monitoring among emotional display rules (fostering positive emotion(FPE) & suppressing negative emotion(SNE)) and consequential work attitude (job burnout & work engagement). A sample of 191 hotel employees were participated in this study and data were analyzed by SPSS. The results are as follows. First, the main effect of FPE on work engagement was supported, but the main effect of SNE on job burnout was not. Second, the main effects of self-monitoring on engagement and burnout were supported. Third, the moderation effects of self-monitoring which buffer the relationship of SNE on burnout and which facilitate the relationship FPE on engagement were significant. Finally, the implications and limitations were discussed.
The effectiveness of job embeddedness in turnover studies

Published: November 2019

The main objective of this study is to investigate the strength of the relationship among job embeddedness, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions among Korean employees using meta-analytic methods with theoretical rationale. The results from meta-analysis of 44 Korean studies are as follows. First, the true-score correlations among on-the-job embeddedness, fit to organization, organization-related sacrifice, and turnover intention are -.569, -.462, -.414 each (k = 14-30, N = 4657-8299); the 95% CIs and 80% CVs for all relationships had no zero. Second, the true-score correlations among on-the-job embeddedness, three sub-factors, and work-related attitudes (affective commitment, job satisfaction) are all positively correlated and the 95% CIs and 80% CVs for all relationships had no zero. Third, the magnitude of true-score relationship between on-the-job embeddedness and work-related variables is somewhat stronger in this meta-analysis than in counterpart studies in western countries. Finally, estimating the incremental validity of on-the-job embeddedness using meta-analytic structural equation model, on-the- job embeddedness remains negatively related with turnover intention, after affective commitment and job satisfaction are controlled. This meta-analytic findings contribute to understanding of the relationships among job embeddedness and work-related variables among Korean employees. Future studies should attempt to overcome the limitations of this study such as lack of information related to demographics. Further, more primary studies are needed since there were very few available studies on actual turnover and off-the-job embeddedness. Hopefully, this study will be a good guide for the future Korean studies on job embeddedness.
The effect of emotional labor strategy on job burnout and job engagement
Authors: Park SunAe , Lee JaeChang
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of positive psychological capital to analyze that emotional labor strategy(surface acting, deep acting) impacts on the job burnout and job engagement using samples of 314 salesperson in distribution services. The results were as follows. First, the surface acting of emotional labor strategies was increased job burnout, but deep acting decreased job burnout and increased job engagement. Second, positive psychological capital had negative effect on job burnout and positive effect on job engagement. Third, positive psychological capital had moderating effect between deep acting and job engagement. But, in contrast to the job engagement, job burnout had not effect on the moderation of positive psychological capital. That is, positive psychological capital was not a buffering effect between deep acting and job burnout, but worked as facilitator in a relationship between deep acting and job engagement. Finally, the implications and limitations of the present study as well as the future directions of this area were discussed.
