The role of visceral-abdominal obesity in the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Authors: Andreeva E. I.
Published: November 2020

Studies of recent years show that the problem of abdominal-visceral obesity is gaining in importance, the steady growth of which is observed in almost all countries. Gastroesophageal reflux disease belongs to the most common diseases in patients with obesity. At present, the question of the metabolic activity of visceral fat as a factor in the pathogenesis of GERD is being investigated. Aim. Investigation of the level of serum concentration of the proinflammatory cytokine (interleukin 6), the biologically active substance -adipokin (leptin) and C-reactive protein, taking into account the BMI of patients with obesity and intra-arterialpH monitoring data and esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Material and methods. The main group consisted of 51 patients, in the age group from 30 to 60 years, suffering from GERD and obesity. The average age of the patients was 42.3 ± 2.11 years. Obesity of the 1st degree in BMI was in 19 people; obesity of the 2nd degree - in 23 people; obesity of the third degree in 9 patients. The level of leptin, interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein was determined, anthropometric examination with calculation of body mass index (BMI) and waist measurement (OT) to determine the degree of obesity and its type. To verify the diagnosis of GERD and determine its endoscopic form, esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed using flexible endoscopes and intra-esophageal pH monitoring. Results. The level of serum concentration of interleukin 6, leptin and C-reactive protein in patients of the main group is higher than in the control group. A correlation between these indicators, the degree of obesity and the DeMeester index, reflecting the presence and severity of gastroesophageal reflux and the results of esophagogastroduodenoscopy, was revealed. Conclusion. Thus, the metabolic activity of visceral fat is one of the factors contributing to the increase in the duration and the number ofpathological refluxes leading to the development of erosive forms of esophagitis, which must be taken into account when choosing a program for the treatment ofpatients suffering from GERD and obesity.
Coronary heart disease and inflammation.
Authors: Kirichenko A. A.
Published: November 2020

The increased content of inflammation markers in the blood is a significant prognostic sign of coronary events in persons with stable or asymptomatic course of coronary heart disease (CHD) and suggests that the inflammation underlying the destabilization of CHD has an independent character and is largely independent of the severity of stenotic lesions of coronary vessels. Activation of the local inflammatory process in the atherosclerotic plaque leads to the destruction of the fibrous capsule in combination with an increase in the activity of cellular and plasma factors of the coagulation system and inhibition of the fibrinolytic system. Cytomegalovirus, Chlamydia pneumoniae, pathogens of periodontal disease are nominated for the role of inducers of inflammatory reactions. The synergistic effect of several pathogens is reflected in the concept of burden of infection (“infectious burden”). Immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases are characterized by a high risk of cardiovascular complications. An important place in their prevention is an effective anti-inflammatory therapy: methotrexate, suppressing the formation of interleukin 1ft and tumor necrosis factor a, allows not only to modify the course of the disease, but also to reduce the risk of cardiovascular accidents. Chronic inflammation, as a key element of atherosclerosis pathogenesis, can be caused not only by infectious and immune factors, but also by metabolic factors. The activation of inflammasomes induced by cholesterol crystals in macrophages is an important link between cholesterol metabolism and inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques. Confirmation of the important pathogenetic role of inflammation is to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications (CVD) on the background of anti-inflammatory therapy. In statin therapy, the decrease in The level of C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly correlated with the suppression of atherosclerosis progression and a decrease in the risk of SSR, regardless of the degree of lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. Taking colchicine in a low dose in patients with stable coronary artery disease, who received standard therapy, reduced the risk of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. Secondary prevention of cardiovascular complications by human monoclonal antibodies to interleukin 1ft (kanakinumab) led to a decrease in the risk of SSR regardless of sex, Smoking, and lipid levels.

Aim. Identification of clinical, anamnestic, etiological, echocardiographic features of chronic heartfailure with an intermediate ejection fraction of the left ventricle among patients hospitalized in the cardiology hospital. Material and methods. Analyzed 423 hospitalization. The diagnosis of CHF was present 378patients (89,6%), the median age was 62 [56; 69]. All patients underwent six-minute walk test, followed by determination of the functional class of heart failure, ultrasound of the heart. Results. In the group of patients Cnppv met significantly less complaints of shortness of breath and weakness, in comparison with patients suffering from Snfu and Ssfv (p<0.05). The severity of violations of the functional state ofpatients with CHF was progressively increased by reducing the levels of LVEF less than 40%. The vast majority of the reason for the development of CHF was a combination of coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension found in 82% of cases in the total cohort. In isolation, these diseases were the cause of heart failure in 3% (coronary heart disease) and 3.4% (arterial hypertension) patients. Conclusion. The incidence of heart failure with an intermediate ejection fraction of the left ventricle among patients with CHF, hospitalized in the cardiology hospital, was 12%. Patients Cnppv had removed the clinical symptoms, despite significant pathological changes in echocardiographic parameters. In addition, the development of Snpf in 93% of cases on a background of myocardial infarction significantly aggravates the prognosis of life ofpatients suffering this pathology.
Variants of the anatomical structure of the coronary arteries and the left atrium remodeling in patients with different forms of atrial fibrillation
Authors: Sharikov Nikita L. , Chibisov S. M. , Ragozin O. N. , Gasimova S. Sh.
Published: November 2020

One of the reasons leading to dilatation of the left atrium is atrial fibrillation. A retrospective analysis of 136 case histories of patients with various forms of “non-valvular” atrial fibrillation was performed, depending on the shape of atrial fibrillation, the patients were divided into 3 groups. In patients with atrial fibrillation in 62.5%, the source of the atrial branches was the envelope branch of the left coronary artery. Atrial branches originating from the right coronary artery system were identified in 35.8%. In men, atrial arteries occur significantly more often. The results differ from publications, according to which the blood supply of the atria and sinoatrial node from 60 to 75% is carried out by branches departing from the basin of the right coronary artery. The degree of dilatation of the left atrium does not depend on the source of blood supply, but a correlation between the size of the left atrium and the diameter of the branches of the artery of the sinatrial node in the group of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is traced.

Published: November 2020

Goal: To study and asses the role of hormone imbalance (blood TSH, T3, T4, their antibodies, prolactin, cortisol and testosterone levels) in the development of acute glomerulonephritis in adaptational problems in the contingent of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia. Material and methods. To achieve the goal of the study 150 military servicemen (conscripts), aged 18-22, who were hospitalized for acute glomerulonephritis during the first 6 months of their service, were examined. The control group consisted of 50 practically healthy servicemen. Apart from common clinical and laboratory and instrumental examinations, blood serum levels of cortisol, testosterone, prolactin, TTG, T3, T4, antiTG and antiTPO were determined by immuno-fermentative analysis taking into account their circadian rhythms in young organism. Results. In patients with acute glomerulonephritis with acute nephritic syndrome and isolated urinary syndrome extensive increase in prolactin levels, cortisol levels and in T4 levels was observed in relation to comparison group. In both study groups, other data were within normal range in relation to comparison group. Conclusion. In acute glomerulonephritis the adaptation process of young organism is accompanied by certain phase shifts in endocrine system, which manifests with hyperprolactinemia, increased cortisol and thyroxine levels. Prolonged duration of these increased levels can lead to overexertion of the protective adaptation reactions of body and ultimately to their exhaustion. Taking into consideration the abovementioned changes, we consider it necessary to carry out hormonal tests when examining patients with acute glomerulonephritis, and in case of detecting deviations - take the patients under endocrinologist’s follow-up.

Noble-metal associations related to Paleoproterozoic basic-hyperbasic magmatism in the Lapland-Onega province of Karelia
Authors:   Institute of Geology KarRC RAS, Kuleshevich L. V.
Published: November 2020

Topomineralogical studies are part of mineralogenic research conducted in the Paleoproterozoic Lapland-Onega rift-related structure in Karelia. These studies are important because of the location of promising areas and the study of deposits associated with basic-hyperbasic magmatism in Paleoproterozoic rift-related structures (chromite, titanomagnetite and nickel ores with PGE and gold). The aim of mineralogenic studies is to better understand major ore and noble-metal mineral associations by microprobe and ICP-MS-analyses. It was found that chromite ores are accompanied by high-temperature associations of platinoids — arsenides, sulfo-arsenides Pt, Rh, Ir and bismutotellurides Pt (with Pd), and sulfide Cu-Ni ores — mainly Pt-Pd bismutotellurides and tellurides. Titanomagnetite ores with low-sulfide copper mineralization contain stibio-sulfoarsenides, antimonides, stannides, and more rarely sulfides of Pd, Pd-Pt, and silver-containing gold.
TRANSLATION OF THE MENTALITY IN A TRANSITIVE SOCIETY
Authors:   FSBIS «Institute of psychology of the Russian academy of sciences», Kharitonova Elena V.
Published: November 2020

The article deals with the peculiarities of translating mentality through language in a transforming society. The article reveals the idea of a transitive society and the psychology of transitivity. It is shown that a transitive society influences social representations and values, determines attitudes and goals. Particular attention is paid to the interaction of language and mentality in the context of globalization, when there is an increase in changes in language, including in the Internet language. The language of the people is one of the main mechanisms for transmitting the mentality, through which a special national way of thinking is formed. Numerous studies have shown that the transitivity of society, accompanied by the influence of high technologies, informatization, and virtualization, has a transformative effect on the mentality as a whole. In the history of Russia, the fundamental transformations of society associated with the revolution of 1917 also determined changes in the language in the post-revolutionary period, which were manifested in the increase in the number of jargon, abbreviations of words, and the introduction of foreign borrowings into the language. In the works of scientists of those years, the peculiarities of the influence of foreign borrowings on people's consciousness and mentality in general were analyzed. V. M. Bekhterev, N. S. Trubetskoy, A. M. Selishchev, A. A. Potebnya and others paid attention to the study of these processes. Excessive changes in language can pose a threat to the national mentality due to their impact on traditional values, their destruction and the introduction of new values in a globalized world. The role of the media as a native speaker of a new language and as a tool for influencing mass consciousness is outlined. The most intensive manipulation of the masses through language influences increases in unstable, transitional periods of society development.

The basic method is applied to the study of the typology of personal values. A basis is a complete, ordered, measurable set of elements. In our case, the elements are personality types. Completeness is determined by a factorial dichotomous typological set. Orderliness is determined by a single dichotomous multi-dimensional basic word structure of a set of types (a single dichotomous multi-dimensional-typological basis or «word basis»). The measurability of types is associated with a single dichotomous numerical multidimensional basic evaluation symmetric scale or with a «numerical basis». Completeness is related to the traditional dichotomous factor analysis of typological information (it resembles the factor strategy of Kettell in his typology of personality qualities). Orderliness sets a dichotomous basic multidimensionality in verbal typological information. Measurability makes it possible to create basic multidimensional methods based on a dichotomous symmetric numerical scale estimation of types. Multidimensional measuring typological basis of personality is a combination of several one-dimensional measuring typological bases with a single personal dichotomy «social-individual». In typology of information about the values of the personality is possible to allocate three levels of consistency. The first level of consistency corresponds to the traditional chaotic-eclectic dichotomous factor representation of information about personal values. The second level of consistency corresponds to functional structural coherence in the verbal dichotomous multidimensional basic regulation of the types of values of the individual. The third level of consistency corresponds to the project-dimensional dichotomous multidimensional basic implementation of the estimated-numerical measurement of the types of values of the individual. This research strategy is related to all three levels of systemicity, it is the basis of our dichotomous factor multidimensional base measurement typological concept, and it defines the strategy and stages of this research. In this article, the typology of personal values is checked for «basicity». For this purpose, based on the principle of semantic proximity, one-to-one correspondence («typological isomorphism») is established between the typology of personal values and professional personality types according to D. Holland. The article uses the method of «basic superimposition» of these two typologies, which provides a semantic community of these two typologies and generates such a psychological concept as «professional values».
OVERCOMING OF DIFFICULT SITUATIONS AS THE CONDITION OF FUNCIONAL SELFIDENTIFICATION DURING EARLY ADULTHOOD

Published: November 2020

The aim of the study presented in the article is to determine the nature of the relationship between the subject's experience of difficult situations and the formation of self-identification as a functional organ. The structure of the process of experiencing difficult situations is determined, which includes three components: the formation of the goal of the action in a situation of difficulty; conscious correlation of purpose and subject conditions of activity; conscious correlation of the purpose of the action with the motive in the face of difficulties encountered in the implementation of the goal. An experimental methodology for its study has been developed, which allows one to study this process in the unity of its components. The structure of the process of self-identification is disclosed, which includes three functional components: the meaning of autobiographical experience; axiomatization, selection and integration of the phenomenology of autobiographical memory, expressed in the formation of identification constructs; symbolically mediated integration of identification constructs, embodied in the formation of a meta-identification construct. An experimental technique for studying self-identification is presented, which allows one to study this process in the unity of its functions. As a result of the study, it was found that with an increase in the level of implementation of the process of experiencing difficult situations, the level of self-identification also increases. Having experienced a difficult situation, the subject «turns» the signs that he had previously used to designate social roles into functional tools of self-identification. Experiencing difficult situations provides a selection of the experience of the socio-cultural interaction of the subject, increasing the significance of its individual components, while preserving in the autobiographical memory, which is an empirical tissue of self-identification, the most valuable and subjectively significant events of individual history.

The aim of this research is identifying differences in the development of learning skills of students of engineering and humanitarian orientation in the process of their training at the University. Learning skills, as the ability to carry out the process of acquiring subject knowledge in various fields, are recognized by world experts. The importance of learning skills has increased especially at the present time, due to the need for self-development of competence in the process of professional activity after graduation. In the course of the study, the main and supplementary learning skills, as well as the ability to self-regulate training activities and academic performance of students of technical and humanitarian orientation, who are at different stages of training, were diagnosed. The results of this study show that the learning skills of students in both directions develop sideways in the process of subject learning, but this process has different results and character in relation to their development. Thus, engineering students have a higher level of learning skills and self-regulation by the end of their studies, while humanities students have a higher level of exposure to supplementary learning. Basic learning skills are developed better among engineering students with higher abilities to self-regulate learning activities, while for psychology students, this relationship is not found. In addition, the academic performance of engineering students increases with a high level of development of knowledge-building abilities, control of additional learning skills and self-regulation of educational activities. Academic performance of students in the Humanities increases with a high ability to implement independent building of knowledge, a high level of control over the motivational and volitional sphere and learning goals, as well as the ability to evaluate results in the course of educational activities.
WOMEN AND FINE ARTS: A GENDER ANALYSIS
Authors:   Institute of philosophy of the Russian academy of sciences, Voronina Olga A.
Published: November 2020

The article disputes traditional views on the status of women in the visual arts. Methodologically, the text is based on the theories of social constructivism, social and symbolic capital, modern history of fine art and gender approach. The author considers art as a social institution, and an artistic work as something with aesthetic and economic value. This allows us to deconstruct the myth of women's lack of artistic abilities convincingly. Institutionally, this mythology was supported by the refusal of women to receive professional education in fine arts, and ideologically justified by the role of the Muse, allegedly inspiring men to true creativity. This subject-object dichotomy set the structure of power relations between the Artist and his repressed «object of veneration», while ignoring the various relationships of women with fine arts or evaluating their creativity as marginal. This concept was formed in the era of mass production of artistic works, when the cost of work was determined not so much by its aesthetic qualities, but by many other factors. And one of them is the traditional hierarchy of men and women in culture, which leads to underestimation of women's artistic creativity in economic terms and alienation of women from the active creative process. Attempts of women to present a different view of yourself and your place in the world (a woman is existentially different in western culture) come across symbolic designation of the feminine as secondary and marginal. Even today, when women рфму professional education and participate in exhibitions, their positions and status remains more vulnerable than that of male-artists. This is due to existing gender stereotypes and institutional barriers. Professional recognition of woman is often achieved at the cost of a symbolic rejection of self-representation as a female artist and identification with masculine models of creativity. Overcoming this situation is impossible without the artistic community's acceptance of the principles of freedom of expression and gender equality.

The article considers new aspects in researching the soviet culture transformations. It has been become a point at issue of a seminar-debate on the topic «Soviet existence on the threshold of conformation of totalitarian and authoritarian frameworks» (May, 2020). It was organized on the grant project of Russian Science Foundation № 20-68-46013 «Philosophic-anthropological analysis of soviet existence. Suppositions, dynamics, influence over modernity». The analysis of seminar-debate items, feedback of outstanding researches and students, invited to debate, spots that soviet existence is defined as being a difficult unhomogeneous integrative phenomenon. Its research is important and significant in contemporary and exploratory scope. The content of seminar shows that an essential researching tendency becomes a consideration of the soviet culture in the aspect of mythologization. The soviet reality is noticeable as myths and the soviet way of life is noticeable as mythologemas. In the direction of the declared cultural tradition, mythological figures (primal forefathers, heroes, enemies, rulers) of the soviet culture are indicated and defined. They correspond to realistic historical persons. It is noted the main tendencies of the soviet mythological system creation, founded on traditional cultural concepts, transformed in tune with ideological principles. Consequently, the participants of seminar enunciate straight and suppose implicitly varied contacts between pre-soviet and soviet existence, apparent in a philosophical thought and in an artwork. In this context it is noted next dimensions of the soviet existence problem: beginnings of the soviet existence and its organization, chronotopos of the soviet existence, chemistry between a person and power. An individual aspect in researching the soviet existence becomes the problem of creative person’s presence. This aspect was interesting not only for the participants of the seminar but students invited to debate.
MUSICAL COGNITIVISM IN A NEW ASPECT: TURNING TO SUBJECTIVITY (BOOKS BY I. BOSTRIDGE AND J. E. GARDINER)
Authors:   FSNIS «Russian institute of culturology», Shapinskaya Ekaterina N.
Published: November 2020

The article examines the problems of understanding music from the point of view of interaction of emotional perceiving and theoretical reflection. Basing on the case of two works on Schubert and J. S. Bach, written by outstanding musicians of our time, I. Bostridge and J. E. Gardiner, the role of author’s subject position is examined as well as reconstruction of historical and cultural context of the works as the prerequisite for deeper understanding. The author of the article points out changes in the attitude to music pieces after reading these books, which shows relevance of music cognitivism, not diminishing the impact of music, but, on the contrary, showing its new aspects if the author combines personal experience and research capabilities. Since both books are about music containing verbal element (vocal cycle and cantatas and Passions) the problem of interrelation of music and word has been regarded. In analyzing I. Bostridge’s book the accent is placed on recreation of historical and cultural factors connected with different songs of the cycle. In examining Gardiner’s work attention is given to elements of biographical method which are used to get more versatile notion about the composer’s music through which different traits of his character, often ambivalent, are disclosed. Interaction between sensual perception and intellectual reflection is an important process not only in gaining knowledge about a musical piece, but in extending social and cultural experience of the listener and the performer. Special accent is placed on regarding subjective approach to the works performed and analysed used by the authors as the result of merging of performing experience and research work. Such approach is relevant for contemporary art studies in which the subject/object duality is deconstructed and multidisciplinary research prevails.

The article focuses on ways to intensify the educational activities of students, to increase their motivation and the quality of knowledge obtained during the study of lexical units of a foreign language using game technologies. The article substantiates the effectiveness of gamification as a new way of organizing training, which has a huge pedagogical potential. It is proved that the use of tools for various games in the educational process increases the probability of achieving the goal, because using game practices, gamification does not turn reality into a game, but gives students game settings that correspond to reality to achieve professional tasks in the context of reality. The authors present a method of using a modern scenario for organizing students' play activities on any topic. It includes components for using game techniques in the classroom – word search, memory game, bingo, and crossword puzzle. Skills of using such techniques help students in the process of learning a foreign language, motivating students to independent creative work and solving problems within the framework of gamification, accompanying the entire educational cycle. Gamification helps to replace external motivation with internal motivation. By modeling certain behavior of students, the teacher increases their integration without their awareness of this fact. Unconscious involvement activates involuntary attention, which is the most effective means of assimilating up to 90 % of information. Active methods encourage students to become the main participants in the educational process. And teamwork when performing a task with gamification elements becomes an important factor in the development of emotional contact between all participants. To help the teacher should come modern educational platforms, where the teacher will adjust their material to the level of training and motivation of students.

This paper investigates the notion of sovereignty and territorial integrity of states in cyberspace by carefully examining the information security debate. Nowadays, issues related to infosec are posing fundamental challenges to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nation-states. Our analysis has attempted to answer the critical question, which aspect makes infosec the most pressing issue of the 21st century? The United States, The Russian Federation, and China are the three technologically superior nations and are included in the study to compare their understanding of infosec issues. The authors have typically relied on their expertise to interpret primary and secondary data because of descriptive discourse. Moreover, the study is efficiently conducted through a deductive approach and has applied non-kineticism as a theoretical model. The results showed that due to the compelling non-kinetic application of infosec, the debate at international forums had become a victim of geopolitical considerations. Results also revealed that the discourse of infosec needs to be disassociated from social freedom as it has been adopted for military application and requires a national security perspective to confine the course of security implications. In abstract, the notion of infosec has given birth to new contestation in the domain of cyberspace that altogether would lead the competition into the ‘digital battlefield.’
Penguasaan Hak Atas Tanah yang Belum Bersertipikat

Published: November 2020

Penelitian “Penguasaan Hak Atas Tanah yang Belum Bersertipikat” yang dalam penulisannya menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan kasus. Pendaftaran tanah merupakan hal wajib bagi pemilik hak atas tanah untuk memperoleh pengakuan hak dan untuk memperoleh bukti kuat kepemilikan tanah, yaitu berupa sertipikat. Masih banyak tanah di Indonesia yang belum bersertipikat dan perbuatan hukum lainnya dari tanah tersebut membuat potensi akan terjadinya sengketa semakin besar. Pendaftaran tanah diatur dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 24 tahun 1997 tentang Pendaftaran Tanah. Penguasaan bidang tanah yang hanya sebatas menguasai secara fisik tanpa adanya bukti tertulis menjadikan pemilik tanah tidak memiliki perlindungan hukum jika nantinya ada sengketa. Namun, jangka waktu lamanya penguasaan bisa dijadikan sebagai dasar untuk dilakukannya pendaftaran tanah untuk pertama kali, yang hasilnya akan memperoleh sertipikat. Tanah yang hanya dikuasai secara fisik tanpa adanya bukti tertulis tetap bisa dilakukan peralihan khususnya melalui jual beli, dan sah hukumnya selama memenuhi konsep dan persyaratan yang terdapat pada Peraturan Perundang-undangan yakni dengan pembuatan akta di PPAT.

Konsentrasi amonium yang ada dalam air hujan dapat membentuk ion amonium yang berasal dari reaksi amonia dengan air hujan. Ion amonium memiliki faktor netralisasi terhadap nilai keasaman air hujan. Jika konsentrasinya cukup besar, deposisi amonium akan memberikan fenomena lingkungan yang beragam, seperti eutrofikasi dan pengasaman tanah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat tren deposisi amonium secara temporal, baik bulanan, musiman maupun tahunan di Serpong dan Bandung. Data yang digunakan yaitu data rata-rata tertimbang konsentrasi ion amonium dalam air hujan tahun 2000–2018. Sampel air hujan dianalisis dengan menggunakan kromatografi ion untuk mengetahui besarnya konsentrasi ion amonium, dilanjutkan dengan perhitungan fluks deposisi amonium dan menjalankan model Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Model (HYSPLIT) untuk mengetahui trayektori polutan amonia untuk Serpong dan Bandung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kenaikan konsentrasi ion amonium dari tahun 2000 – 2018 untuk Serpong sebesar 2,64%, dengan konsentrasi tertinggi pada tahun 2013 sebesar 83 µmol/L. Sedangkan untuk Bandung mengalami kenaikan yang signifikan sebesar 87,87% dengan konsentrasi terendah pada tahun 2010 sebesar 32 µmol/L. Karakteristik tren deposisi amonium bulanan menunjukkan kenaikan konsentrasi pada bulan Juli – Oktober. Pada musim penghujan, konsentrasi ion amonium lebih rendah bila dibandingkan dengan musim kemarau. Fluks deposisi amonium berfluktuasi setiap tahunnya dengan mengikuti pola curah hujan, dan mengalami kenaikan dari tahun 2000 – 2018 sebesar 35% untuk Serpong dan mencapai 272% untuk Bandung. HYSPLIT model menunjukkan trayektori polutan yang berasal dari wilayah Bali dan Nusa Tenggara untuk Serpong pada musim kemarau, sedangkan sumber polutan di Bandung, dapat berasal dari Australia. Pada musim penghujan, sumber polutan baik di Serpong maupun Bandung, berasal dari lautan.

Chemotherapy treatment based on Cisplatin (CDDP) is established as the drug of choice for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Malignant tumors respond to microenvironment alteration through a dynamic balance of mitochondrial fission and fusion. HNSCC is known to have hypoxic conditions, yet the effects and underlying mechanisms of hypoxia on chemosensitivity and mitochondrial dynamics remain unclear. We found that hypoxia promoted mitochondrial fission and CDDP sensitivity in HNSCC cells. Importantly, Mff was shown to be correlated with chemosensitivity in clinical samples of HNSCC that underwent a hypoxic condition. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α-subunit (HIF-1α) dramatically increased Mff transcriptional expression and directly bound to Mff. Hypoxia enhanced the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulated the expression of Mff via HIF-1α in HNSCC cells. ROS depletion in HNSCC cells attenuated HIF-1α, Mff expression, and mitochondrial fission. Moreover, a knockdown of Mff suppressed hypoxia-induced mitochondrial fission and decreased CDDP chemosensitivity in vivo and in vitro. Our findings revealed that the hypoxia-induced release of ROS promoted mitochondrial fission and CDDP chemosensitivity via the regulation of HIF-1α/Mff in HNSCC cells, indicating that Mff may serve as a new biomarker to predict neoadjuvant chemosensitivity in HNSCC patients

Climate change has become the greatest threat to the survival of world and its ecosystem. With the irreversible impact on the ecosystem, problems like rise in sea level, food-insecurity, natural resources scarcity, seasonal disorders have increased over the past few years. Among these problems, the issue of water scarcity due to the lack of water resources and global warming has plagued several nations. Owing to the rising concerns over water scarcity United Nations (UN) has acknowledged water as a primary resource to the development of societies under the ‘Water Goal’ of the sustainable development goals. As the changing climate and intermittent availability of water resources pose major challenges to forecast demand, especially in countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which has one of the highest per capita residential water consumption rates in the world. Therefore, the aim of this study is to propose an accurate water demand forecasting technique that incorporates all significant factors to predict the future water demands of the UAE. The forecasting model used is the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), with the factors considered are mean temperature, mean rainfall, relative humidity, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Consumer Price Index (CPI) and population growth. The LSTM model predicts the water demand forecasting in the UAE showing that the future demand will decrease from 1821 million m3 in 2018 to 1809.9 million m3 in 2027.

Geckos demonstrate a remarkable variability in sex determination systems, but our limited knowledge prohibits accurate conclusions on the evolution of sex determination in this group. Eyelid geckos (Eublepharidae) are of particular interest, as they encompass species with both environmental and genotypic sex determination. We identified for the first time the X-specific gene content in the Yucatán banded gecko, Coleonyx elegans, possessing X1X1X2X2/X1X2Y multiple sex chromosomes by comparative genome coverage analysis between sexes. The X-specific gene content of Coleonyx elegans was revealed to be partially homologous to genomic regions linked to the chicken autosomes 1, 6 and 11. A qPCR-based test was applied to validate a subset of X-specific genes by comparing the difference in gene copy numbers between sexes, and to explore the homology of sex chromosomes across 11 eublepharid, two phyllodactylid and one sphaerodactylid species. Homologous sex chromosomes are shared between Coleonyx elegans and Coleonyx mitratus, two species diverged approximately 34 million years ago, but not with other tested species. As far as we know, the X-specific gene content of Coleonyx elegans / Coleonyx mitratus was never involved in the sex chromosomes of other gecko lineages, indicating that the sex chromosomes in this clade of eublepharid geckos evolved independently.
