Concept of the middle class and its features in Russia
Authors: Zavodchikova Tamara B. , Maznaya Ekaterina A.
Published: July 2021

The presence in society of a formed middle class, which makes up the majority of the country's population, is a guarantee of stability and sustainable development of state. It is the middle class that represents active economic entities that effectively implement the main economic functions and participate in socio-economic relations. The presence and formation of a middle class should be a priority task for the state. In the article, the authors explore various approaches to the concept and criteria of the middle class. The income characteristics of the middle class are analyzed (average per capita, median, modal incomes, income distribution of the population, indicators of income differentiation). The features of the middle class in modern Russia are revealed, among which there is a significant heterogeneity of the middle class, determined by regional specifics, social characteristics and social status. The ambiguity of the definition of the middle class, the lack of its clear criteria, and as a result, its significant heterogeneity in Russia, complicates the analysis and assessment of the middle class in our country, and, as a result, reduces the effectiveness of measures taken aimed at the formation and development of the middle class. It is necessary to understand that the extraordinary dynamism of the development of modern society, the digitalization of all spheres of socio-economic relations, the consequences associated with the fourth industrial revolution will greatly affect the structure of society, the conditions and standard of living of the entire population.

Непосредственные вычисление и проверка достигнутого минимума показателя качества в задаче оптимальной стабилизации
Authors: Блюмин С.Л. , Галкин А.В.
Published: July 2021

Данная работа носит методический характер. В ней описана методика непосредственных вычисления и проверки достигнутого минимума показателя качества в линейно-квадратичной задаче оптимальной стабилизации. Подобным методикам в распространенной литературе по теории управления уделено недостаточно внимания. Причинами может быть то, что, с одной стороны, такие вычисления и проверки являются «само собой разумеющимися», а с другой стороны, сопряжены с достаточно громоздкими расчетами. По последней причине методика проиллюстрирована на примере простейшей скалярной линейной стационарной сосредоточенной динамической системы.

Authors: Jalali Alireza , Karimialavijeh Ehsan , Babaniamansour Parto , Aliniagerdroudbari Ehsan , Babaniamansour Sepideh
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease (COVID‐19) has become the most important global health issue, and chest computed tomography (CT) scan can help determine the severity of the infection.
Objectives: This study aimed to provide an emergency scoring tool for predicting 30-day adverse outcomes in non-critical new-onset COVID-19 patients. 
Methods: This derivation study was conducted on new-onset COVID-19 patients presenting to the emergency department of an urban teaching hospital in Tehran, Iran, between 20 February and 20 March 2020. The total lobe severity score (TSS), age, history of comorbidities, and 30-day adverse outcomes (death, ICU admission or intubation) were taken into account to produce three prediction models.
Results: Overall, 137 patients were included in the study. Their mean age was 59.9±16.8 years and 62% were male. The ground glass nodule, patch B/punctate ground-glass opacity, fibrous stripes, and air bronchogram sign with perihilar distribution, bilateral and ≥ 2 affected lobes were the most common findings. The mean TSS (model 1) was significantly higher in patients with an adverse outcome (9.4±3.2) compared to the discharged patients (7.2±3.3) (p<0.001, AUC: 0.703, sensitivity: 64.4% and specificity: 74.1%). The optimal cut-off point of model 2 (TSS and age) had the following parameters: AUC: 0.721, sensitivity: 71.2% and specificity: 67.2%. The optimal cut-off point of model 3 (TSS, age, comorbidities) had: AUC: 0.755, sensitivity: 79.7% and specificity: 65.5%. The discrimination achieved with model 3 based on Bonferroni’s test was significantly better than that achieved with TSS (p<0.001).
Conclusion: TSS combined with age and history of at least one comorbidity had a better predictive value for adverse outcomes with a cut-off point above 8.

Published: July 2021

Introduction: To date, little is known about the clinical features of pediatric COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).
Objective: Herein, we aimed to describe the differences in demographic characteristics, laboratory findings, clinical presentations, and outcomes of Iranian pediatric COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU versus those in non-ICU settings.
Methods: This multicenter investigation involved 15 general and pediatrics hospitals and included cases with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection based on positive real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) admitted to these centers between March and May 2020, during the initial peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran.
Results: Overall, 166 patients were included, 61 (36.7%) of whom required ICU admission. The highest number of admitted cases to ICU were in the age group of 1–5 years old. Malignancy and heart diseases were the most frequent underlying conditions. Dyspnea was the major symptom for ICU-admitted patients. There were significant decreases in PH, HCO3 and base excess, as well as increases in creatinine, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and potassium levels between ICU-admitted and non-ICU patients. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), shock, and acute cardiac injury were the most common features among ICU-admitted patients. The mortality rate in the ICU-admitted patients was substantially higher than non-ICU cases (45.9% vs. 1.9%, respectively; p<0.001).
Conclusions: Underlying diseases were the major risk factors for the increased ICU admissions and mortality rates in pediatric COVID-19 patients. There were few paraclinical parameters that could differentiate between pediatrics in terms of prognosis and serious outcomes of COVID-19. Healthcare providers should consider children as a high-risk group, especially those with underlying medical conditions.
Comparison of Video Laryngoscopy and Direct Laryngoscopy in the Success of Intubation Performed by Novice Personnel in Patients with Cervical Immobilization: A Manikin Study
Authors: Can Özge , Yalcinli Sercan , Altunci Yusuf Ali
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Pre-hospital intubation is a challenging but essential intervention. During intubation, it is difficult to identify vocal cords when using a cervical collar and trauma board. Therefore, the success rate of intubation by paramedics decreases in trauma patients. Video laryngoscopy increases intubation success rate and has been recommended for difficult airways in studies.
Objective: In this study, we compared the intubation success rates when using a video laryngoscope and a direct laryngoscope in a manikin with simulated cervical immobilization. 
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the manikin’s neck collar and spine board created a complicated airway model with cervical immobilization. Inexperienced paramedic students tried intubation with both methods, and their trial periods were recorded. Students answered a question evaluating the convenience of the procedure for both methods after the trial.
Results: In this study, 83 volunteers, who were first-year and second-year paramedics, participated; 32 (38.6%) of the volunteers were first-year students, while 51 (61.4%) were second-year students. All volunteers had previous intubation experience with direct laryngoscopy, but not with video laryngoscopy. There was a statistically significant difference in the first-attempt success rates of the procedure between the groups in favor of video laryngoscope (p=0.022). Note that there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of first attempt durations (p=0.337).
Conclusion: Video laryngoscopy in airway management can increase the success rate of first-attempt intubation by inexperienced pre-hospital healthcare personnel.

Introduction: Management of seriously ill patients infected with new corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) is challenging especially in pregnancy and postpartum state.
Case presentation: A 39- year-old primigravid critically ill woman with acute respiratory distress (ARDS) due to confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection underwent urgent cesarean delivery (a healthy neonate) at 33 weeks and 5/7 of pregnancy. She received treatments including hydroxychloroquine, antivirals and broad-spectrum antibiotics while she was intubated for mechanical ventilation. In spite of all treatments, she developed a critical course after the mild primary clinical improvement. Convalescent plasma transfusion as a rescue treatment was performed and led to an improvement in her general condition and delayed gradual recovery in respiratory function after two months.
Conclusion: The promising role of early treatment with convalescent plasma transfusion in seriously ill pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2, needs to be elucidated by further randomized studies.

Authors: Babaki Shahla , Zavareh Saeed , Farrokh Parisa , Nasiri Meysam
Published: July 2021

Background: Wnt signaling pathway plays critical role in ovarian follicle development. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vitrification on the expression of Wnt pathway related genes in preantral follicles (PFs).
Methods: Isolated PFs (n=982) of 14-16 day old female mice (n=45: 15 for each group) were divided into fresh (n=265), toxicity (n=272), and vitrified (n=265). The mRNA levels of Wnt2, Wnt4, Lrp5 and Fzd3 were evaluated by real-time PCR on the 2nd and 6th days of culture period. One-way ANOVA was conducted to analyze the data. Post hoc Tukey's HSD was used for multiple comparisons and p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The developmental parameters of fresh PFs were significantly higher than those of vitrified (p<0.001). There were no differences between fresh and vitrified PFs on the 2nd day of culture (p<0.001). Wnt4 expression levels decreased significantly in vitrified groups compared with fresh ones (p<0.001). Fzd3 and Lrp expression levels increased significantly in vitrified groups compared with those in the fresh group on the 2nd day (p<0.001). On the 6th day of culture period, the expression levels of Wnt2 and Fzd3 increased significantly in vitrified group compared to those of fresh group (p<0.001). Moreover, the expression levels of Wnt4 and Lrp increased significantly in toxicity groups compared to those of the control group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Vitrification increase the expression levels of Wnt2, Lrp and Fzd3 genes of PFs during in vitro culture
In Silico Analysis of Sperm From Ejaculates with Different Semen Characteristics
Authors: Berdugo Gutiérrez Jesús Alfredo , Cardona Maya Walter D.
Published: July 2021

Background: Male infertility is associated with altered characteristics of the sperm within the ejaculate. It is possible to find molecular explanations for the observed phenotypes and their consequences. This study aimed to analyze, using a specialized software, a gene set of transcriptomic data from different types of ejaculates.
Methods: Data from ejaculate samples categorized as normal, oligospermia, and teratozoospermia were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). After normalization, the data average for each sample category was calculated and analyzed independently using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA).
Results: Five important canonical pathways are involved in normal and altered semen samples (Oligospermia and teratozoospermia) except sirtuin signaling and mitochondrial dysfunction pathways. The five most important biological processes are identified in all semen phenotypes, but the only difference is the genes connected with initiation of RNA transcription in oligospermic and asthenospermic samples.
Conclusion: Surprisingly, different types of ejaculates share many pathways and biological processes; sperm proteomics as a new global approach gives clues for the development of strategies to explain the reason for observed phenotypes of ejaculated spermatozoa, their possible effect on fertility, and for implementing research strategies in the context of infertility diagnosis and treatment.

Authors: Sankapal Prakash , Gite Venkat Arjun , Agrawal Mayank , Sane Mahesh , Singal Atul
Published: July 2021

Background: Persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a very rare form of internal male pseudohermaphroditism in individuals who are phenotypically males with 46 XY karyotypes harboring internal female reproductive organs which are Mullerian derivatives. It occurs as a defect in the genes coding for the Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS) or the anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) receptor, ultimately leading to failure of regression of Mullerian ducts.
Case Presentation: A 29-year-old male with PMDS presented with complaints of primary infertility. Diagnosis was made with the help of high index of suspicion, radiological imaging, and karyotyping. Our patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with hysterectomy and bilateral orchidopexy.
Conclusion: The purpose of this study was increasing awareness regarding rare entities and surgeons should have high clinical suspicion of PMDS when patient with bilateral undescended testis comes for the evaluation of primary infertility.

Motivation is an important factor because this can encourage students to carry out learning activities, and motivation will lead to creativity in learning. This explanatory quantitative research involved three independent variables and one dependent variable. The sample was obtained from vocational high school students in Malang majoring in accounting. Data were collected using a questionnaire, while the data were analyzed using multiple regression. The results showed that self-confidence had a significant effect on student independent learning. Motivation and creativity were also influential. These results reinforce the theory of constructivism where, in learning, a person must build on their own knowledge and learn from the experiences gained by others. Suggestions for further research include examining additional variables that may affect independent learning.

Authors: Agustina Yuli , Anwar Choisi Elgamalia
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of corporate governance mechanisms on financial distress, through the measurement of board of directors, board of commissioners, independent ownership structures and managerial ownership structures. The sample consisted of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2017 and a purposive sampling method was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression. The results confirmed that the size of the board of commissioners and institutional ownership had no effect on conditions of financial distress. This was possible because the board of commissioners functions as supervisor in the company, but sometimes it did not carry out its role to its full potential. Meanwhile, institutional ownership was expected to encourage more optimal supervision of management performance so that agency costs could be minimized, but this could not be proven. The size of the board of directors had a significantly positive effect on finances distress. The size of the board of directors could indicate collusion in the company and thus the possibility of experiencing financial distress was greater. Managerial ownership had a significantly negative effect on conditions of financial distress. With an increase in ownership by managers, managers could immediately feel the benefits and losses of the decisions taken.
Keywords: board size, the company’s health condition, corporate governance, financial distress, the Altman Z-Score, the number of boards.

The rapid development of technology allows educational actors to not only focus innovation on one criterion but on several important factors that can improve the development of students’ knowledge and skills (Owusu & Larbi, 2018). Collaboration between the learning methods used by teachers and learning media, especially web-enhanced courses, is expected to improve students’ cognitive abilities. This study used simple descriptive methods and linear regression to examine the optimization of students’ cognitive abilities through a web-enhanced course.
