THE EFFECT OF BETA - ARRESTIN 1 TRANSFECTION ON PROLIFERATION AND TEMOZOLOMIDE TREATMENT RESPONSE IN HGG CELLS
Authors: Horescu Cristina , Artene Stefan-Alexandru
Published: May 2021

While several studies have indicated a major role of the ?-arrestin family in the development of several types of cancer, little to no information is available on its influence in malignant gliomas.

In our study we transfected an established high-grade glioma cell line, 11 HGG with a ?-1 arrestin plasmid in order to observe how ?-1 overexpression influences proliferation and response to standard of care treatment. After 24h, the transfected cells presented a drop in proliferation when compared to untransfected cells. In terms of treatment response, transfected cells presented a markedly elevated cytotoxic effect when compared to untransfected cells. However, after 48h and 72h transfected cells presented only a minor increase in proliferation while treatments responses to TMZ were modestly influenced by ?-1 arrestin overexpression.

Time and again it is said that Indian consumers behave differently from the western or global customers. Since a pandamic like COVID 19 has force lockdowns restraining the customer all over the world the consumers have exhibited different behaviour other than the normal one. Consumers behaviour is shaped by their wants and hence the importance of understanding it. Many business face the challenge of understanding the consumers and their wants and hence the flounder at the market place. This is more apt in India for the foreign companies that try to market in India. Many big multinationals companies (MNCs) have struggled in India before they got the hold of the market. Further, India being a young country compared to other countries, it has become a attractive market. The success is evasive to those who fail to understand the Indian consumers. Somehow, the ethnocentric behaviour of MNCs have not augured well for them. Even though the consumer behaviour has been studied by researcher and scholars for long now, they mainly focused on the western customers. Only recently the scholars have had occasion to study Indian consumers. Hence, this study was undertaken with the intention of understanding the behaviour of Indian consumers during the pandemic.

A Conceptual Framework of a Streamlined Extended Technology Acceptance Model for Mobile Application Adoption
Authors: Dah John , Hussin Norhayati
Published: May 2021

Information systems have enjoyed their fair share of success over the years. Various technology adoption theories and models have been used to understand the factors that cause users to harmonize with new technology. Although the technology acceptance model is the most widely used of all technology adoption theories and also gives room for the addition of an external variable, many experts believe that a rudimentary construct should govern its core variables in the field with which it is applied. This believes system birthed the TAM 2 model, which came with an external variable to the extant TAM model. One of the firm beliefs upheld by the TAM model is that “perceived ease of use” fuels users’ intention to accept and adopt new IS systems or otherwise. The TAM 2 or Extended TAM model is driven by the notion that a unique and influential construct in the context of the technology or the object being assessed would improve the result’s accuracy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to introduce mobile skillfulness as an influential construct that regulates the perception of ease and usefulness in the technology acceptance model for the assessment of mobile-related technologies. This study aims to develop an extended model from the extant TAM model that befits the acceptance assessments of mobile-related technologies such as applications and mobile games. The method used in this article is a literature survey to explore and understand the technology acceptance model (TAM), which would match mobile-related technology. The comprehensive conceptual model has been constructed in this article.

Sharia Screening Methodology: Does Its Non-Unification Affect Its Implementation?
Authors: Abbas Elhussein Nawal Hussein , Abd Elmahmoud Salah AbdAlla
Published: May 2021

This paper attempts to empirically assess the possibility of applying Sharia screening criteria in the Sudanese corporate sector and investigate the possibility of extending the external Auditors’ role to include reporting on Sharia compliance of corporate activities. The hypotheses of the study revolved around identifying whether the Sudanese stakeholders accept the application of the Screening Criteria as part of the compliance methodologies to cater for companies with mixed activities, whether the Sudanese stakeholders consider available Screening Criteria as effective and robust in the control of Sharia impermissible economic activities, and whether expanding the responsibilities of external auditors to include Sharia screening compliance will increase the creditability of financial information and hence attracting more investors. The paper employs a cross-sectional survey research design and depends mainly on primary data, which is collected through a structured questionnaire. To examine the accuracy of the data and conduct the analysis a number of statistical methods including the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO), Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Estimation Modeling (SEM) are employed. The analysis supports the hypotheses set by the study and reveals the readiness of Sudanese stakeholders to accept applying the Sharia screening Criteria and their belief in the notion that the present screening criteria are effective in controlling Sharia impermissible economic activities and the ability of external auditors to identify and report on their customers’ compliance with screening criteria.

Living on the Other Side: A socio-legal analysis of family law and migration in Morocco

In our research project ‘Living on the Other Side’, we aim to understand how (ir)regular migrants from the Middle East and West/Central Africa deal with the legal and formal aspect of their lives in Morocco by focusing on major life events, such as marriage, divorce, birth and death. Life does not simply stand still when residing in a foreign country – people continue to marry, divorce, have children and die. However, there is little empirical knowledge on what migrants actually do when faced with such events. Registering major life events secures a migrant’s legal identity and protects their human rights. Having a legal identity, most likely, influences the daily lives of migrants. A migrant, who does not formally exist in the eyes of the state, might not be able to access basic services, like health care and education. From a legal pluralist perspective, we aim to investigate how migration and family law intersect by conducting online and offline ethnographic fieldwork.

Technical and biological causes of periapical surgery: Retrospective analysis of 301 apical surgical cases
Authors: Ekici Ömer
Published: May 2021

Aim: Endodontic surgery is a treatment for persistent peri-radicular pathological conditions that do not improve after endodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of endodontic treatment, technical error types seen in root canals and the periapical condition of the teeth in patients undergoing periapical surgery, and thus to analyze the reasons leading to periapical surgery.

Methodology: Clinical and radiographic data of 301 periapical surgery cases were retrospectively evaluated in this study. The causes of periapical surgery were classified into technical and biological reasons.

Results: In this study, 51.8 % of periapical surgery cases were related to biological factors and 48.2 % were related to technical factors. Maxillary anterior teeth were the most common teeth undergoing apical surgery with a rate of 66,8 %.  The most common technical reasons were non-homogeneous filling (15,6 %), underfilling (12,0 %) and overfilling (9,6 %). The most common biological reasons were cysts (30,2 %), traumas (16,6 %) and apical abscess (5,0 %).  37.5% of cases undergoing periapical surgery, the diameter of the cystic lesion was 10mm or more.

Conclusion: The number of cases of apical periodontitis is increasing in the community due to insufficiently filled root canals. Increasing the quality of root canal treatments applied by dentists will reduce the need for periapical surgery by reducing the incidence of apical periodontitis.

Objective. This study adds important information regarding the morphological alterations caused by growth hormone hypersecretion in the skull and craniocervical junction (CCJ). A variably asymmetric skull due to acromegaly coexists with expansion of the paranasal sinuses and multiple Wormian bones. Case report. A pathologically asymmetric dry skull of a European male, aged 38 years at death, with cranial vault and skull base thickening is described. The extensive paranasal sinus pneumatization caused a generalized thinning of the bony walls. The sphenoid sinus expanded intraorbitally, leading to sella enlargement. The orbital asymmetry coexisted with platybasia and hypoplasia of the occipital condyles and the odontoid process. Facial skeleton elongation and mandibular overgrowth were combined with prognathism, malocclusion and overbite. Conclusion. Skull and CCJ alterations are of paramount importance when selecting the surgical approach, if surgery is indicated. Consecutively, detailed preoperative evaluation and planning is essential. During surgery, skilled and experienced neurosurgeons recognize anatomical landmarks, use neuro- navigation and micro-instrumentation in order to remain on the mid- line avoiding any potential lethal vascular injury.

Primeval Forest, Homeland, Catastrophe.
Authors: Mrázek Jan
Published: May 2021

The SVD ethnologist/ethnographer mostly known as Paul Schebesta (1887-1967) was often introduced in Czechoslovakia as “our Czech” Pavel Šebesta. Querying origins, selves and homelands, his own and in his writings (ethnography/travelogues/fiction on “dwarfs” in the “primeval forest”), this essay traces the multiplicity/borderlands/nomadism of Schebesta/Šebesta, also in his relation to the “Other,” a concept/distinction/border that is thus destabilized or blurred. Interweaving apparently separate questions about his life and scholarship, the essay finds continuities and mirroring across distance and otherness. Following-mirroring Šebesta/Schebesta, we recognize the familiar in the strange, Silesia/Moravia in Malaya, the contemporary in the primeval, the “native” in the ethnologist, the head-hunter in the biological anthropologist. The essay’s motley style mirrors what has been described as his “jumbled” writing, “highly coloured … scarcely in consonance with the scientific material”; it reflects his nomadism, emphasis on “experiencing together,” and the conflict that he sensed between “theories” and “life, rhythm, poetry.”
Der alte Traum vom privaten Glück – Die Autoindustrie als Teil eines vergangenen Gesellschaftsentwurfs
Authors: Canzler Weert , Knie Andreas
Published: May 2021

Seit Jahrzehnten wird dem privaten Auto durch eine entsprechend ausgerichtete Infrastruktur sowie rechtliche und steuerliche Bevorteilungen eine privilegierte Stellung eingeräumt. Doch mittlerweile gibt es einfach zu viel vom immer Gleichen. Es ist nicht nur die Klimakrise, die eine umfassende Transformation des Verkehrs verlangt. Das private Auto kann die soziale Teilhabe und das private Glück nicht mehr oder nur noch eingeschränkt garantieren. Was einst Freude am Fahren war, wird von immer mehr Menschen als lästige Pflicht empfunden. Mobilität wird in Stadt und Land heute vielfältiger gedacht als in Form der Fixierung auf das private Fahrzeug. Die lange erfolgreiche Automobilbranche tut sich jedoch schwer mit der Transformation des alten Geschäftsmodells. Schon der Wechsel des Antriebsstrangs irritiert die eingespielten Ingenieursroutinen massiv. Neue Verwendungs- und Verfügungsformen des Autos auf digitalen Plattformen oder gar die Entwicklung von vollautomatischen Fahrzeugen und autonomen Flotten können oder wollen die deutschen Hersteller nicht von selbst erreichen. Um die technologische Kompetenz und die beschäftigungspolitische Wirkung der Autoindustrie zu retten, müssen die Impulse zur Veränderung von außen kommen. Der historische Blick auf die bisherige Erfolgsgeschichte des Automobils zeigt, dass die politische Regulierung dazu der Schlüssel ist.
Recht und Humanismus, Wirtschaften und Humanität
Authors: Schött Hans-Joachim
Published: May 2021

Die „rechtskulturellen und rechtshistorischen Betrachtungen“ treffen mittlerweile auf grundlegende Krisen-Symptome und staatspolitische, den Freiheitsbegriff neu austarierende Tendenzen. Das berührt nicht nur das Rechtsverständnis der Allgemeinheit und speziell der Wirtschaft. Ebenso gerät die weltanschauliche Neutralität der Justiz in Verdacht. Die geisteswissenschaftlichen Fachbereiche unserer Hochschulen übernehmen einen Teil dabei ihrer Verantwortung für die Zukunft Studierender. So will die Erziehungswissenschaft etwa durch Bildung „zur Humanität führen“.

Die vorliegende General-Thematik – „Recht und Humanismus, Wirtschaften und Humanität“– unterstützt fachgebietlich das nämliche Ziel.
Gesetzgeberische Handlungsspielräume zur Stärkung des aktiven Schallschutzes im Luftverkehrsrecht

Published: May 2021

Air traffic law deals with noise emissions primarily by means of passive noise protection. Active noise abatement, which starts at the source of emissions, is not given precedence in air traffic approval procedures. The study examines how the legal basis for aviation licensing and for the definition of flight procedures can be strengthened with regard to active noise abatement measures. To this end, it analyzes the scope for action under constitutional, Union and international law and considers all relevant planning levels, including regional planning, urban land use planning and sectoral planning.

Authors: Classen Claus Dieter
Published: May 2021

The book presents the constitutional systems of the 27 EU member states in an integrated form. Basic principles such as democracy and the rule of law, constitutionalismincluding constitutional jurisdiction, state organs (parliament, government, head of state) and state functions (legislation, administration, jurisdiction, foreign policy) are dealt with. Thus, common European basic principles are elaborated, but above all, the different manifestations of many constitutional principles are clarified. The book is aimed at all those who wish to inform themselves in a clear form about the constitutional systems of the EU member states on which the European Union is based.
Evaluation of Drug Resistance Before and After Biofilm Formation of Bacteria Causing Wound Infection and Detection of Their Protease Activity
Authors: Proma Tasnuba Tabassum , Ahmed Tasnia
Published: May 2021

Background: Wound infection is a highly common problem in hospital settings, where microbes are often resistant and difficult to treat due to rapid exposure to antibiotics. While treating wound infection, bacteria often enter the deep tissue; as therapy needs long exposure time, bacteria have sufficient time to develop biofilm, which makes them much more resistant to antibiotics. Objectives: The current study was performed to identify wound-infecting bacteria and determine their protease production activity. Methods: The ability to produce biofilm was evaluated by the Congo red agar and tube methods. Antibiotic resistance pattern was assessed before and after biofilm formation to detect the changes in resistance due to biofilm formation. Results: We identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Corynebacterium xerosis, Alcaligenes faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus spp., Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp. in 20 wound samples, among which about 10 isolates were found to be biofilm producers. Almost all the biofilm producers showed complete resistance or a much smaller inhibition zone. Conclusions: Pathogenic bacteria can be more difficult to eradicate by antibiotic treatment if they are able to produce biofilm; thus, it is essential to prevent biofilm formation.
A Model for the Taxonomy of Research Studies: A Practical Guide to Knowledge Production and Knowledge Management

Context: Due to the increasing research information, knowledge production, development of information technology, and its impact on access to knowledge, the taxonomy of knowledge and information is necessary to manage and use them in the development of science. Evidence Acquisition: The purpose of this study was to provide a complete model that could achieve the objectives of taxonomy in research. For this purpose, after a critical review of existing taxonomies, criteria were developed based on which a complete and practical taxonomy was presented. After reviewing and analyzing different categorizations of research in different fields of medicine, social sciences, and education, research designs were divided into explicative research, psychometric research, descriptive research, exploratory research, explanatory research, theory research, translational research, synthetic research, prescriptive research, implementation research, and evaluative research. Conclusions: In the next step, the relationship between them was determined based on their cognitive position and their position in the development of knowledge.
