Authors: Youvella Sylvia , Aman Adi Koesoema , Akbar Nizam
Published: January 2022

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the process of regeneration and vascular repair. Atherogenesis and angiogenesis contribute to the formation of coronary collateral circulation as an alternative source of blood supply during the repairing process of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). This study aimed to investigate the elevation of VEGF and its correlation to Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) and Major Adverse Cardiovascular st nd th Events (MACE). Serum VEGF measurements were carried out on 1 , 2 , and the 5 -day onset of angina on 20 patients using st th Chemwell Analyzer based on ELISA method. PBMC was counted on days 1 and 5 according to CBC results from Automatic Cell Counter Sysmex XN-1000i. The major adverse cardiovascular event was recorded 30 days after AMI onset. It was found nd that serum VEGF level in this study was 169.3±34.5 pg/mL on the 1st day, 217.0±49.7 pg/mL on the 2 day, and th th 249.2±48.5 pg/mL on the 5 day. Serum VEGF levels increased gradually and the highest value was found on the 5 day st (p=0.000). There was no correlation between elevated serum VEGF levels with PBMC on the 1 day (p=0.429, r=-0.035) and th the 5 day of AMI (p=0.225, r=+0.081). There was no correlation between elevated serum VEGF levels with incidence of MACE on 30 days after onset of AMI (OR=0.959, 95% CI, p=0.302). Serum VEGF concentrations are increased in Acute Myocardial Infarction and can be used as a marker of myocardial injury. However, this study was unable to prove its role in the outcome of AMI

Authors: Maulidan Ersa Bayung , Marpaung Ferdy Royland
Published: January 2022

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with various clinical manifestations. Lupus nephritis isthe most common severe manifestation with a poor prognosis. Hematuria is included in the Lupus Activity Criteria Count(LACC) and SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Phase Contrast Microscope (PCM) availability as a recommended instrumentfor dysmorphic erythrocytes evaluation is exclusive, thus causing this examination to be performed rarely. This study aimedto investigate the diagnostic value of dysmorphic erythrocytes in SLE patients with hematuria using Low Condenser LightMicroscope (LCLM), PCM, and UF-500i. This research was a cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling; 58 fresh urinesamples were examined with UF-500i during May-July 2019. Percentage of dysmorphic erythrocytes were evaluated usingLCLM and PCM. Difference percentages of dysmorphic erythrocytes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test,degree of agreement by Kappa coefficient, cut-off, sensitivity, and specificity by ROC curve. Dysmorphic erythrocytepercentage in LCLM and PCM showed a significant difference (p < 0.001) and a low degree of agreement (Kappa=0.373).Dysmorphic erythrocyte cut-off with LCLM was 7.5% (sensitivity 70%, specificity 68%) and PCM was 6.5% (sensitivity 74%,specificity 65%). Dysmorphic? flagging from UF-500i showed a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV of 78%, 52%, 58% and 73%,respectively. LCLM can be considered a substitute for PCM for evaluating dysmorphic erythrocytes with its cut-off, so theclinician will be more alert to abnormalities that cause hematuria. Further research with larger samples and definitediagnosis with a kidney biopsy is needed to obtain more accurate results.
Graves Disease (Thyroid Storm) with Polyautoimmune Disorders (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and Probable Autoimmune Hepatitis)
Authors: Maherdika Mabruratussania , Rachmawati Banundari , Setiawan Andreas Arie
Published: January 2022

Graves' disease is caused by IgG antibodies that bind to the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) receptor on the surfaceof the thyroid gland. These bonds drive the growth of stimulated thyroid follicular cells causing the glands to enlarge andincrease the production of thyroid hormones. Previous studies mention the association of HLA-B8 and HLA-DR3 withGraves' disease and the Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated-4 (CTLA-4) gene on chromosome 2q33 as a result of reducingT-cell regulation, resulting in autoimmune disease. Autoimmune thyroid disease is often found together with otherautoimmune disorders (polyautoimmune). A 51-year-old male complained of dyspnea, yellowing of the body, and a lumpon the neck. One year ago, he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Graves' disease was suspected due to a score of 22 forthe Wayne index, FT4 96.9 pmol/L, TSHs <0.01 Î¼IU/mL, TRAb 10.8 IU/L, thyroid uptake test for toxic diffuse struma. Inaddition, the patient had atrial fibrillation and a thyroid storm with a Bruch Wartofsky index score of 65. Laboratoryexamination found normocytic normochromic anemia, thrombocytopenia, reticulocytosis, direct coomb test and autocontrol results positive one, SGOT 87 U/L, SGPT 59 U/L, alkali phosphatase 166 U/L, total bilirubin 38.13 mg/dL, directbilirubin 16.59 mg/dL, indirect bilirubin 21.54, LDH 318 U/L, establishing the diagnosis of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia(AIHA). Autoimmune hepatitis score: 15, so a diagnosis of probable autoimmune hepatitis was made.

Text, context, affect and effect: Fairy tales in the UNICEF advertising campaign against paedophilia
Authors: Bohuslavska Olha , Ciprianová Elena
Published: January 2022

By conveying traditions and moral values fairy tales constitute an important part of our lives and cultural identities. Fairy tale motifs and allusions have been repeatedly employed for commercial and non-commercial purposes by advertisers around the world. This paper looks at the UNICEF anti-sexting advertising campaign that features two classic fairy tales,Hansel and GretelandLittle Red Riding Hood. Sexting is a growing problem among young people these days. According to the recent EU Kids Online 2020 survey carried out in 19 European countries, 22 percent of children aged 12-16, on average, have had some experience with receiving sexual messages or pictures. Through an analysis of the visual and verbal content of selected advertisements, the present study investigates how the advertisers creatively make use of the famous fairy tales to raise public awareness of the issue.
Analysis of brominated flame retardants in the aquatic environment: a review
Authors: Jagić Karla , Dvoršćak Marija , Klinčić Darija
Published: January 2022

The most common and consequently analysed brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), tetrabromobisphenol S (TBBPS), and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). As these persistent organic pollutants are widespread in the environment and have a number of harmful effects on human health, the production and use of most has been banned for several years. The aquatic environment is polluted by these compounds through their deposition from the atmosphere, sewage sludge, wastewater treatment plants, and landfills, and higher levels are found in areas with developed industry and agriculture and near landfills. Each compound also seems to show preference for specific compartments of the aquatic environment, i.e. water, sediment, or aquatic organisms, according to their physicochemical properties. The aim of this review was to take a closer look at the analysis of BFRs, as without reliable analysis we would not be able to determine their levels and distribution across the aquatic compartments and assess human exposure and health risks. Particularly worrying are the health risks associated with PBDEs in fish, whose levels generally exceed the permitted values.

Published: January 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic effects of Al2O3, Fe2O3, and Cu nanoparticles with chromosomal aberration (CA), micronucleus (MN), and comet assays on the bone marrow of male BALB/c mice. Three doses of Al2O3, Fe2O3 (75, 150, and 300 mg/kg), or Cu (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) nanoparticles were administered to mice through intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 days and compared with negative control (distilled water) and positive control (mitomycin C and methyl methanesulphonate). Al2O3 and Fe2O3 did not show genotoxic effects, but Cu nanoparticles induced significant (P<0.05) genotoxicity at the highest concentration compared to negative control. Our findings add to the health risk information of Al2O3, Fe2O3, and Cu nanoparticles regarding human exposure (occupational and/or through consumer products or medical treatment), and may provide regulatory reference for safe use of these nanoparticles. However, before they can be used safely and released into the environment further chronic in vivo studies are essential.
Teachers’ Perceptions on Code-Switching in EFL Classroom Discourse
Authors: Bonyadi Alireza , Kalvanagh Mehdi Kheyrollahi , Bonyadi Minoo
Published: January 2022

Feasibility of maintaining an educational sustainable development (ESD) depends on exploring teachers’ concepts on their common practices in classroom settings. Speakers in multilingual contexts commonly switch their codes, languages, during their numerous social interactions. Nowadays, the phenomena, code switching, has expanded to cover any situation in which speakers switch from one accepted code into another. Through this perspective, various studies have been conducted to investigate different aspects of code-switching in EFL classrooms. The present study qualitatively investigated teachers’ perceptions on code-switching in their classrooms addressing two research questions, namely what types of code-switching EFL teachers were practicing in EFL classrooms and what were their perceptions on their code-switching. Four EFL teachers participated in the study. The analysis of the data collected through manual and electronic observations as well as structured interviews, indicated that intra-sentential and inter-sentential types of code-switching were practised throughout the classroom teaching processes. The main motives for resorting to code-switching were found to be EFL students’ lack of linguistic proficiency, keeping solidarity with the students and managing the classrooms.
The Art of Intersubjective Dialogue: How to Make Partnership Sustainable
Authors: Franzenburg Geert
Published: January 2022

Since human beings communicate, dialogue is a central topic, mainly in terms of partnerships in private, political or business contexts. Often, however, dialogue means double monologue. In order to transform it into a real dialogue, particular strategies are helpful, which can be found during the last centuries. Modern communication partners, thus, can evaluate dialogue-experiences from Biblical time until today to make their relationship sustainable and to apply open, personal, and symmetrical communication as a kind of cultural participation. As demonstrated in this paper, all dialogue participants can draw benefit from such evaluation by transferring and transforming past experiences into current situations, Therefore, the article evaluates texts from both religious and psychological perspectives, and emphasizes both, religious and secular narratives, values, models, rituals and attitudes. Thus, it invites people to make experiences with communication strategies in their relationships and daily life.

Published: January 2022

The central concept within this research work is Edu-tensegrity. It is the foundation of the Heasly Thinking Skills System and uses a geodesic dome as a refreshed visual depiction of the many varied elements in the whole world of education, given paradigm changes within lived experience of 21st century education. This system uses a disciplined use of the art of Questioning, a ‘ME’ diagram, a fully explained process of decision-making, and finally a detailed diagram called the HUG/BUG for application of personally chosen behaviours. This paper explains the integrated connections of education concepts with similar knowledge content from other relevant academic disciplines. The aim allows for the academic support of teachers and lecturers as these paradigm changes are affected, relying on resilience and the authentic projects of our research communities, who are central to the concept of Edu-tensegrity. Edu-tensegrity is central to the twin concepts of Sustainability and Securitability, adding to the educational philosophy of this journal, and cementing the changing landscape of 21st century education in a time of pandemic and change.

Supervised Teaching Practice (PES) should promote the development of skills associated with the profile of the teacher-researcher, namely: observation, recording, analysis, reflection. At the same time, it should provide children with rich and diverse experiences that produce education for (with) citizenship. The research project developed at PES was based on the European project UKIDS (Erasmus +) and was based on learning by project methodology, allowing for interdisciplinary knowledge. The challenges set in the project offer a variety of tasks to work on aspects such as initiative, motivation and innovation, as well as, trust and responsible social participation. Specifically, the Trash Value challenge, proposes to give a new life to waste, respecting a sustainable environment. Based on the implementation of this challenge and using the egg cartons, it was investigated how this material potentiated the development of social skills, reasoning and mathematical communication of children in the 4th year of schooling. The research methodology had characteristics of action-research, selecting different techniques and instruments for data collection. In addition to the pre-test and post-test carried out on the students and the teacher in charge of the class, audio recordings, field notes, photographic records and children’s productions were collected and organized in the form of multimodal narration. After conducting the study, it was possible to verify that the Trash Value challenge promoted the development of social skills, with a greater focus on cooperation, self-control and responsibility.

The ability of the national economy to create and to valorize innovations on the market in order to produce economic goods represents its national innovation capacity, which is at the same time a key determinant of countries’ economic progress. Due to this fact, its relevance imposes the task of identifying, as accurately as possible, the key theoretical postulates on which this concept is based, as well as calculating the Innovation capacity index by which it is possible to predict progress in building innovation capacity of individual countries and mutual comparison with other countries according to innovation capabilities. After a brief explanation of the essence of learning, on which this concept is based, an attempt is made to calculate the Innovation capacity of the European Union and the Western Balkans, on the one hand, and to consider the interdependence of the obtained results and the achieved level of their economic development in 2020, on the other hand. The results of the research confirmed the strong connection between the Innovation capacity index and the achieved level of economic development of countries expressed in terms of gross domestic product per capita.
A Field Study Evaluating Humoral Immunity in Calves Vaccinated with Multivalent Bovine Respiratory Pathogen Vaccines

Published: January 2022

Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV), Bovine Parainfluenza 3 (BPI3) and Mannheimia haemolytica (Mh) are major respiratory pathogens in the bovine respiratory disease complex. It is important to optimize passive and active immunity to these pathogens early in life to reduce clinical and subclinical productivity losses. The administration of inactivated, adjuvanted and multivalent vaccines, such as Bovilis® Bovipast RSP (Bovipast), and Bovalto® Respi 3 (Bovalto) to calves, may enhance cellular and humoral immunity against BRSV, BPI3 and Mh. A field trial evaluated the immune responses to these three agents in the first year of life in 12 Bovipast and 13 Bovalto vaccinated calves, and 5 negative control calves. Calves were vaccinated starting at 2 weeks of age and revaccinated 4 weeks later (primo vaccination). A booster vaccination was given at approximately 10 months of age. Serum samples were taken at time intervals up to 6 months after primo vaccination and up to 1 month after the booster vaccination. BRSV serum titres were evaluated using a serum neutralisation assay (SN), and BRSV, BPI3 and Mh titres were evaluated using a commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. Serum antibodies after primo and booster vaccinations in the individual calves were evaluated by calculating the areas under the curve (AUC) of the Log2 transformed BRSV SN titres and the optic density measures of the ELISA tests for BRSV, BPI3 and Mh. Multivariate general linear models were used to evaluate the influence of the vaccination on the AUC of the serum measures within 6 months after the primo vaccination. Similarly, models evaluated the AUC of the serum measures after the booster vaccination. The Bovipast vaccinated calves had significantly higher SN and ELISA titres AUC following the primo vaccination and booster vaccinations compared to the negative control calves and the Bovalto vaccinated calves. The Bovalto vaccinated calves did not have a significantly different BRSV SN and ELISA titres AUC response after the primo or booster vaccinations compared to the negative control calves. The serum antibody responses to BPI3 and Mh in the vaccinated calves were less pronounced than the Bovipast BRSV antibody response. Bovipast and Boval- to vaccinated calves mounted a significantly higher AUC ELISA OD for both BPI3 and Mh and the highest AUC was measured in the Bovipast vaccinated calves. This study indicated that early vaccinations of calves with multivalent adjuvanted inactivated BRD vaccines, such as Bovilis® Bovipast RSP can elicit a humoral response with a cellular-mediated memory effect as indicated by the booster vaccination.

Published: January 2022

Obesity and overweight have been frequently observed in dogs in recent years as in humans. The compositions of fatty acids in the accumulated lipids in tissues of obese animals may have important roles in the process and mechanisms related to the onset of metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a vegetarian diet, which contained a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids on individual morphometric parameters in spayed dogs. Seven mongrel dogs without ideal body condition scores (average: 7.42) were fed vegetarian dog kibbles and received the daily amount of energy calculated with the following formula: 130 kcal × weight (kg) 0.75. The animals were evaluated on days 0 and 60 in relation to the body measurements, such as: body weight, metabolic body weight, body fat percentage, nape, rib, tail base, chest, and abdomen, using a plicometer. Also determined were the body condition scores (scale from 1—thin to 9—obese), canine body mass index, and their waist circumference. These data were analysed by the Student’s t-test. The body measurement variation of body fat percentage, waist circumference, body condition score and thickness values of the abdomen differed significantly (P < 0.01).
A stochastic equivalence approach for an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process driven power system dynamics
Authors: Hirpara R. H.
Published: January 2022

This paper develops a stochastic equivalence approach for an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process-driven power system. The concept of stochastic equivalence coupled with stochastic differential rule plays the important role to develop the stochastic equivalence approach of this paper. This paper also develops the prediction theory of power system dynamics with the OU process as well.
Improved strategy for computation of population mean under double stratified sampling framework
Authors: Zeeshan S. M. , Vishwakarma G. K.
Published: January 2022

The article contains a new technique to estimate the mean of the variate of the interest of the finite population with the help of two auxiliary variates. The technique complies well with the stratified population in which each strata proportion is predicted by taking an initial sample called the first phase sample. When the first phase sample is taken, a second sample is taken from the first sample which is called the second phase sample which is used to estimate the mean of the variate of the interest. In our study, we have considered the population which has two correlated auxiliary variates that pass almost through the origin. In such a situation ratio estimation technique and product estimation technique that provides improved estimates of the mean of the variate of the interest. Our technique considers a ratio-product type exponential estimator of which we have established efficiency theoretically as well as empirically.
Ethical Consumption as the Basis for Counteracting Food Waste
Authors: Niedek Mikołaj , Krajewski Karol
Published: January 2022

The objective of the article is to present the concept of practical consumer ethics, which may constitute the axiological basis of sustainable consumption and such an attitude of the consumer that will prevent the negative impact of food consumption on the natural and social environment and will counteract the food waste. The authors consider ethical consumption against the background of the normative pattern of sustainable consumption, which is the practical operationalisation of the concept of sustainable development. This pattern implies, on the one hand, consumer ethics and, on the other hand, an environmentally and socially responsible lifestyle. Against this background, the authors postulate the concept of frugalism as a practical ethics of consumption, based on aretological assumptions and the values of Henryk Skolimowski's ecological ethics. Frugalism, in its normative assumptions, contributes to deconsumption by changing the system of values, attitudes and preferences of a consumer, who voluntarily decides to limit the amount of purchased products, preferring those that are recycled and more sustainable. The authors present comparative statements of the features of the consumerist and frugalistic attitudes.
“Is my University White?” Exploring the role and influence of a University’s Culture on the experiences of Black Undergraduate Students in the UK
Authors: Fakile Dorcas Iyanuoluwa
Published: January 2022

This paper explores the long-standing attainment gap between Black male students relative to other student populations, within Higher Education Institutions in the United Kingdom. This paper attempts to develop a contextual understanding of the parallel relationship between the social and academic culture at universities in the UK, as well as identifies the barriers which affect Black male students’ academic engagement. The purpose of this study is to answer the questions, “What is the Black male student experience at one university in the UK?” and “Which attitudes and practices at this university promote diversity and inclusivity and which hinder this?” The research was conducted via interview to gain a better understanding and acknowledgement of the multiple truths grounding this subject matter (Jones, 2015). The main participants were four Black male undergraduate home students, and four White academic staff members, at a University in the United Kingdom. This paper concludes by recognising that the meanings and attitudes attached to the attainment gap vary significantly. The key recommendations identified were the importance of raising Black representation within the staff, as well as developing a racially conscious atmosphere, in order to develop a sense of inclusion and belonging within the Black male student population.
Grundtvigian Folk High Schools and Their “grassroots work” of Civil Society Participation
Authors: Pilch Tadeusz , Danilewicz Wioleta
Published: January 2022

We will discuss about the role of Grundtvigian folk high schools and their contemporary meanings in two contexts. The first one will be the revision of its sources in the Scandinavian countries (especially in Denmark) and in Poland. The second one will be an attempt to find a connection between building a civil society based on the strong foundation of Grundtvigian schools in the Scandinavian countries and its constant “corruption” is Poland. We would like to get that institution (undervalued in Poland though still functioning in Scandinavia and in many other countries) out of the past and to show its timeless “grassroots work” role in building civic attitudes.
Co-Creation of Public Services in the European Union. Concepts, Approaches and Practice
Authors: Wiktorska-Święcka Aldona
Published: January 2022

The concept of co-creation of public services, which is the essence of this thematic issue of Polish Political Science Review, is part of the current debate on the modernization of the delivery system in the European Union upon Europeanization and globalization. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to enhance the understanding of the factors that assist the co-creation in public service delivery and its capabilities on the both conceptual and practical level. The article works towards presenting the perspective in public governance by examining key aspects which make the ecosystem of the co-creation of public services. In addition, it is intended as an introduction to this thematic issue, and it is a basis for a better understanding of topics discussed in individual articles by authors representing the European research community and non-governmental organizations. The authors present, in detail, considerations on both approach-oriented perspectives and empirical findings, which refer to various socio-cultural, political and economic contexts in different regions of the European Union.

To achieve the research aim, following research questions were developed: What concepts and approaches reflect the idea of co-creation of public services in the European Union? Do they impact the institutional practice? Thus, the first part of the article discusses the key concepts and approaches with the aim to provide guidance and a joint understanding, and then introduces the main notions which make up the ecosystem of the co-creation of public services in the European Union understood as a method (citizens’ participation), a process (social innovation) and a system (public governance). The last part of the article is a reflection on challenges and limitations as well as stimulants that determine its practicing in changing settings and contexts.
