Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders characterized by the incapability of pancreatic beta cells to increase insulin secretion to compensate for insulin resistance in the peripheral tissues. T2DM is a multi-factorial disease including several environmental factors with the presence of genetic predisposition. The transcription factor GLI-Similar 3 (GLIS3) has an important role in the development, survival and proliferation of pancreatic beta-cells and insulin gene expression regulation. Accordingly, genome-wide association studies have shown that GLIS3 gene polymorphism may confer risk to type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM. The present study intended to investigate the association between GLIS3 rs7020673 gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus and its impact on glycemic control among Egyptian population. This study was conducted on 100 Egyptian patients diagnosed asT2DM patients and 100 age- and sex-matched non-diabetic normal controls. All subjects underwent full history taking, thorough clinical examination, routine laboratory investigations including fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Detection of rs7020673 polymorphism of GLIS3 gene was done by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and verified by sanger sequencing. Genotype and allele frequencies of rs7020673 did not differ between case and control groups. Regarding the heterozygous mutant genotype (GC), it was statistically less frequently distributed in diabetic patients (53%) versus controls (67%). Therefore, it can be considered as a negative risk factor for T2DM (OR: 0.5098, 95% CI (0.2827-0.9193), (P< 0.05). In conclusion, our study indicated that the GC mutant genotype may be proposed as a negative risk factor for T2DM in Egyptian population.

Los antibióticos se emplean para combatir infecciones microbianas en el ámbito quirúrgico ya sea como tratamiento profiláctico o terapéutico evitando así la propagación o crecimiento; existen alrededor de 100 microorganismos en una herida contaminada postquirúrgica, entre los más frecuentes se encuentra el Estafilococo Aureus, y en áreas cercanas a la región perineal las infecciones más frecuentes son por gram negativos. Para que se produzca una infección existen tres factores determinantes, el manejo que el cirujano de al procedimiento, el estado inmunológico y comorbilidades del paciente y los patógenos presentes, siendo esencial conocer el proceso fisiopatológico que genera el microorganismo al ingresar al cuerpo pasando por una serie de barreras para poder proliferar e invadir los tejidos generando una respuesta. Dentro de las manifestaciones clínicas principales está el dolor, enrojecimiento, edema y aumento de la temperatura. Sin embargo, en ciertos casos cuando la infección se encuentra localizada a nivel de una región anatómica profunda la dificultad para establecer el diagnóstico es mayor y requerirá de exámenes de imagen al igual que de una biopsia, entre otros; siendo la base del diagnóstico la clínica. Dentro de los tratamientos antibióticos es importante dividirlos en tres partes; la antibioticoterapia empírica usada en pacientes sépticos, tratamiento profiláctico antimicrobiano y de tipo terapéutico, antibióticos como cefazolina, vancomicina y metronidazol son ampliamente utilizados en el ámbito quirúrgico. En cuanto a las complicaciones más frecuentes son la infección del sitio quirúrgico (ISQ), de tipo respiratorio, trombosis venosa profunda e hipotermia que se describen de acuerdo a diferentes clasificaciones.

Published: October 2022

La cicatrización de heridas es un proceso fisiológico en el cual están involucradas diferentes tipos de células como las citocinas, factores de crecimiento, matriz extracelular, entre otros elementos que participan en las fases de cicatrización de heridas como son la fase de hemostasia, fase de inflamación, fase de proliferación y la fase remodelación tisular, siendo esta última la más larga, pues, su duración varía entre meses o años. A nivel mundial millones de personas desarrollan cicatrices como consecuencia de algún trauma, quemadura o cirugía representando así una elevada carga sanitaria y económica. Alrededor del 3% del presupuesto sanitario en todo el mundo está destinado a cubrir heridas crónicas que nohan cicatrizado de manera correcta provocando entre el 32 al 72% de cicatrices hipertróficas (HTS) las cuales generan aproximadamente $6.000 en gastos sanitarios por cada paciente. El tratamiento para los diferentes tipos de heridas está enfocado en promover una buena cicatrización de las mismas, entre ellas se encuentran el uso de antibióticos, el desbridamiento de heridas, el empaquetamiento de heridas, el uso de terapias tópicas, entre otras más. No obstante, hay que tener en cuenta que toda herida tiene un riesgo de complicación el cual varía según las comorbilidades del paciente, el tipo de herida y el entorno en general. En definitiva, la cicatrización de heridas depende de varios factores los cuales pueden ser fácilmente alterados, por ello, en este capítulo abordaremos su fisiopatología, manifestaciones clínicas, tratamiento, y complicaciones.

Las quemaduras representan un traumatismo significativo y devastador que genera complicaciones incluida la muerte. Se estima que causa 300.000 muertes en el mundo, ocurre principalmente en el ámbito laboral y hogar. Los niños son la población más vulnerable, la mortalidad es mayor en mujeres, sin embargo, las tasas lesiones por quemaduras son más frecuentes en hombres. En la fisiopatología el proceso de regeneración es programado y depende de la interacción de diferentes vías. En la lesión inicial se distinguen zonas, la primera de coagulación luego de estasis y por fuera de hiperemia. Las manifestaciones clínicas obedecen al grado de quemadura, profundidad, alcance del tejido y los síntomas y signos pueden taros uno o dos días en presentarse. Entre la clasificación de las quemaduras, las graves son las que derivan en repuestas inflamatorias que en condiciones de curación retardada provocan complicaciones, común la sepsis. Para el diagnostico se usa el criterio de Sepsis-3 2016. Se puede presentar complicaciones sistémicas como falla cardiaca, insuficiencia renal, edema cerebral. La mortalidad en estos casos se asocia a la edad, y lesiones por inhalación. Es importante valorar la extensión y profundidad de la quemadura mediante técnicas diagnósticas como la regla de los 9, la palma de la mano, clasificación de Converse –Smith y clasificación de Benaim. Éstas permiten establecer un manejo y tratamiento adecuados que se basan en asepsia y antisepsia, duchas de agua fría, uso de analgésicos, antiinflamatorio y antibióticos tópicos en caso de ser necesarioy dependiendo el grado de quemadura.

Paricá (Schizolobium parahyba variety amazonicum) is an important species for reforestation programs in the Amazon; nevertheless, the anatomical and physiological parameters of the seedlings of this species under shading are not yet fully understood. This study evaluated the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, the stomatal structure, and the stomatal position in the leaf epidermis under shading of paricá seedlings. The experiment comprised a randomized block design in a subdivided plot scheme, with two sources (Belterra and Urupá) and different shading levels (full sun, 30%, 50%, and 70%). At 100 days after sowing, we performed the analyses of photosynthetic pigment concentration and leaf anatomy. We found that the leaf is hypoestomatic with paracitic stomata and unicellular filiform trichomes on both sides. Higher levels of shading increased the contents of chlorophyll a and b and reduced the stomata density and carotenoid contents in the leaves of young paricá, showing that paricá has phenotypic plasticity to shading.
Maintenance Energy Requirement of Broilers and the Impact of Ambient Temperatures
Authors: Beker Ali , Teeter Robert G. , Yousuf Adnan B.
Published: October 2022

Eight broiler weight groups, housed in metabolic chambers, were exposed to 3-5 ambient temperatures (AT) such that AT exposure fell below, near and above the projected thermoneutral (TN) zone. Birds were fed 0, 5, and 10% of body weight (W), or allowed to consume food ad libitum, to vary energy consumption. Energy needs for body weight homeostasis, efficiency of metabolizable energy (ME) use for maintenance and the exponent needed to convert live body weight to metabolic weight was estimated. Energy (Kcal W-1 d-1) and oxygen (l W-1 d-1) needs for body weight homeostasis declined curvilinearly as body weight increased from 0.042 kg to 2.44 kg. Such needs were impacted by AT. The efficiency of ME use to support maintenance energy need varied in a cubic fashion with bird mass. The estimated zone of thermoneutrality, at body weight homeostasis, was inversely related to W (kg), expressed as: TN (ºC) = 31.896 – 0.4625∙W (R2 = 0.99). Under metabolic basal rate (MBR) conditions, the TN zone was curvilinearly related to weight as: TNMBR = 32.6466 − (94.4603∙W) − (0.7660∙W2) (R2 = 0.99). The exponent, to linearize live body weight with heat production (HP) of birds fed to W homeostasis, was determined to be 0.758 with all birds strictly housed at TN. Further, the exponent to linearize HP of birds under MBR (fasted) conditions was estimated to be 0.679. Equations relating chick energy and oxygen consumption need with body weight and AT, metabolizable energy for gain homeostasis (MEmg), metabolizable energy for retained energy homeostasis (MEmr), metabolizable energy for protein homeostasis (MEmp), and metabolizable energy for fat homeostasis (MEmf) are presented.

Published: October 2022

Performance characterization of a locally developed fish smoke-drying kiln (10 kg capacity) was conducted using charcoal and briquette as fuel materials. Samples of fresh African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) weighing1.03±0.24 kg, charcoal of tropical hardwood (Anthonotha macophylla) and briquette produced from a combination of saw dust, rice husk, coconut husk and palm kernel shell were procured and used for the study. A completely randomized design (CRD) with three replicates was employed for this study and LSD among treatment means determined at p ≤ 0.05. Data was collected on moisture content of smoked-dried fish, smoke-drying time, drying rate, energy expended, specific fuel consumption and energy efficiency of kiln. Results showed that the energy efficiency of kiln was 97.02% and 98.45% and specific fuel consumption was 2.57 and 4.20 for charcoal and briquette, respectively. The energy expended by charcoal and briquette fuel materials were 206 MJ and 249.6 MJ, respectively. The energy expended, energy efficiency and specific fuel consumption were higher for briquette than charcoal. The use of charcoal offered higher moisture removal and drying rate for smoke-drying process than briquette but no significant difference was observed. Conversely, using briquette fuel material required almost two extra hours to smoke-dry 1kg of catfish sample compared to using charcoal. Breakeven with charcoal as main fuel material for custom hiring of the smoke-drying kiln occurs at 952 hours vis-à-vis 998 hours when briquette is used. Economically, briquette compares closely with charcoal, and could be considered a good alternative fuel material for smoke-drying of fish. Future research should conduct organoleptic assessment on fish smoked with charcoal and briquette to ascertain consumer acceptability of the final produce.

matches. Particularly, the predictions were done on top 5 (England, Spain, Italy, France
and Germany) football league matches. To create an accurate predictor, we used Machine Learning to build an Artificial Neural Networks. Using the predicted probabilities, we introduce betting strategies and analyze their profitability using Monte Carlo simulations. To create more precise model, we set predictor variables such as ratings of the competing teams, head to head statistics and home advantage. We also estimate the predictability of top 5 European football competitions. The analysis is done based on historical data of matches and the closing odds on outcomes of matches. Finally, we deploy the results of the predictions by creating a web application which gives the predictions on the upcoming football matches of the top 5 European leagues.
CONTEMPORARY MANIFESTATIONS OF COMMON THREATS AND
ECONOMIC RISKS DERIVED FROM THEM
Authors: MANASERYAN Tatul
Published: October 2022

In this article, our goal is to identify the need for cooperation, particularly regio-nal and
global strategy development in the context of neutralizing common threats and increasing
competitiveness, and to present the prerequisites for its implementation. Therefore, we
look at the connection between threats – econo-mic risks - competitiveness, we will
consider the role of cooperation in reducing these threats. Finally, the threats that cause
certain economic risks with their pos-sible impact on the country's competitiveness will
be presented. As soon as firms lose high-order competitive advantages, there is a decline
in production in the local industry, and then local firms turn to price competition.
Slowing wage and job growth, rising unemployment further reduce interest in increasing
production efficiency, leading to further weakening of market positions. The level of
personal income of the population begins to decrease compared to other developed
countries, which has a negative impact on the quality and variety of domestic demand.

Practically, the Standard of Living of people of a country is reflected in the way in which
people live, such as how much money they have to spend on, how their houses are constructed, how educated they are, what facilities are available to them, etc. Standard of Living is a measure of comparison which is used to different countries, or regions, on the basis of metrics such as level of comfort, wealth, material possessions and basic necessities, which the residents have access to, in those geographic areas. Real income per person and poverty rate are the two indicators that determine the standard of living. It analyses the quantity of material goods and services produced and sold in a particular region like a state or country. Basically, to measure the standard of living components which can easily be quantified are taken into consideration like income, employment opportunities, poverty, cost of goods and services, life expectancy, infant mortality, rate of inflation, etc. Here it must be noted that: High standard of living results in more demand for comfort and luxury products, whereas a low standard of living less demand for comfort and luxury products. It is based on both the quality and quantity of the available goods and services and how they are distributed among the population. Standard of living implies the availability of the level of welfare to the people of a certain area, indicating the ease by which they can comfortably fulfil their needs.
ON THE ISSUE OF ASSESSING THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE ENERGY
SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF THE 3-RD ARTSAKH WAR OR THE 44-DAY WAR
Authors: MIKAYELYAN Yevgenya
Published: October 2022

The article analyses scenario approaches to the development of the energy system of the
world, as well as agreeing on the positive and negative sides, and proposes practical
mechanisms to improve the efficiency of the energy system of the NKR. Modern models of energy development are presented in the article, of which 6 are mainly used.
The necessity of using the SCANNER model to improve the efficiency of the energy
system of the NKR is especially emphasized, because it is as close to reality as possible.
The paper calculated the losses of " Artsakhenergo" CJSC and the reasons for the decrease in the level of profitability of CNG plants. In addition, the point of view was
distinguished, according to which not all schemes of global development and various
integrations are applicable in Armenia and Artsakh, and so far the main developments
are due to the rather wide spread of alternative energy receiving stations.
DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGING
ANTI-TRUST AND COMPETITION LAW
Authors: Breu Stephan U. , Milutinović Veljko
Published: October 2022

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) enables a way to secure decentralized datasets
without involvement of third parties or intermediates secure, auditable and incorruptible.
The specific way of storing data on worldwide peer-to-peer networks makes any attempt
to regulate such applications very difficult as they are not residing in a specific area of
influence of any given regulation or jurisdiction. DLT might prove to be agnostic to any
jurisdictional rules based on traditional legislative understanding. Also in future it might
be possible that artificial intelligence could be put into position to trigger decisions automatically based on such applications which will become a major challenge for competition and anti-trust regulators. Based on the Bitcoin technology we will see that
there are fair possibilities to regulate the ledgers indirectly through existing legal and
regulatory systems. The ones existing outside of regulatory structures could be
controlled indirectly through regulating the gatekeepers that connect the DLT with the existing regulated structures. Selfregulation might also play a part to make these
technologies widely acceptable.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND INCOME INEQUALITY IN
ARMENIA: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Authors: TAVADYAN Aghasi , GHAZARYAN Romik
Published: October 2022

As the results of the studies show, the growth of FDI, providing the society with capital
and advanced technologies, promotes human development [Ghazaryan, 2022b]. However,
there is a lot of evidence that the increase in FDI also leads to the deepening of income
inequality [Chintrakarn, 2012]. Taking into account the debates in the theoretical literature
about the FDI-inequality relationship, as well as the various results of empirical studies,
this article aims to reveal the nature of the FDI-income inequality relationship in Armenia.
For this purpose, a regression model was constructed, where the square of FDI was also
included in order to check the possibility of non-linear relationship. Models were
estimated using the OLS method, and estimations were performed using the EViews 10
software package. The empirical results show that the relationship between FDI and
income inequality in Armenia is characterized by an inverted U-shaped curve. This means
that FDI exacerbates income inequality, but there is a turning point after which further
increases in FDI will alleviate inequality.

Politik Simulacra dalam Ekstasi Media Sosial di Indonesia
Authors: Novi Indah Sari
Published: October 2022

Jean Baudrillard through Simulation (1983) made a thoughtful approach that predicted that reality would eventually die. The 'new world' which Baudrillard calls the 'Simulacra Galaxy', has in fact engulfed all aspects of life, including democracy. Dialectics on democracy, which provides an opportunity for every child of the nation to freely express opinions, actually leads to freedom that crosses the boundaries of the human rights of fellow citizens of the nation. Quietly, primordialism of religion, class, ethnicity, regionalism, and all exclusive social groupings has risen again, which is compounded with the liberal political process which since the reformation has been transformed into new shackles that limit national life. Regional autonomy which is increasingly liberal with the aroma of federation has strengthened the barriers of the new primordial revitalism. The predictions of the threat of "independence" and "referendum" which erupted in one or two regions when the 2019 election process tended to harden, shows how short the reasoning of some of the nation's children in this country is.
