Authors: Usenko Yu. , Voitiv Ya. Yu.
Published: December 2020

Objective. To analyze the frequency of polymorphic variants of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (C-1306 → T) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (G303 → A) genes in patients with enterocutaneous fistulas and to identify the connection with morphological changes of connective tissue.

Materials and methods. The object of the study comprises 24 patients with enterocutaneous fistula who were treated in the Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology during 2016-2020. Laboratory, genetic, histological studies and statistical analysis were performed.

Results. As a result of genetic and statistical analysis of the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (C-1306→T) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (G303→A) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms, genotype variants have been identified that are associated with the risk of enterocutaneous fistula development. Immunohistochemical examination of tissues with monoclonal antibodies to α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) revealed uneven, focal expression in smooth muscle differentiation cells and fibroblasts. Examination with monoclonal antibodies to Collagen IV there is a moderate positive expression in the basement membrane of blood vessels, in smooth muscle cells of the muscular layer of the vascular wall, in areas of connective tissue.

Conclusion. Enterocutaneous fistula is 1,5 times more common in carriers of homozygous GG genotype of the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (G303→A) gene and twice less common in heterozygotes GA (25% vs. 40%, p=0,057). Carriers of minor homozygotes of AA genotype in the group with enterocutaneous fistula were not detected, while a similar genotype in the control group was found in 10% of cases. Immunohistochemical examination of small and large intestine tissues with monoclonal antibodies to Collagen IV and α-SMA revealed signs of pathological connective tissue remodeling.

Published: December 2020

The experiment was conducted under field condition at Jimma University, College of Agricultures and Veterinary Medicine (JUCAVM) to determine the effect of various wild oats (Avevafatua L.) densities on yield and yield components of Wheat (Triticumeastivum L.). The experiment design used was the randomized complete block design and each of the experimental treatment was replicated three times. A Wheat cultivar, Digalu was grown with (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80) Wild Oat densities as a treatment. Data were recorded on wheat plant height, number of tillers, fresh weight and dry weight. The result revealed that various Wild Oats densities statistically (p≤0.05) affected plant height, number of tillers, fresh weight and dry weight. The maximum values of all the parameters were recorded in the (0) Wild Oat density as well as from Wild Oats density (20). Whereas, the minimum values of these parameters were recorded where (80) wild oats densities were present. From the study it could be concluded that Wheat yield and yield components were greatly affected by Wild Oat densities. Judicious control measures for wild oats are recommended to be adopted that can control Wild Oats in Wheat crop to reduce the crop losses due to this noxious weed.

Authors: Salari Ali , Bet Sofian Saudah
Published: December 2020

The difference between market value and book value of a company is attributed to Intellectual Capital (IC).  This difference is as an Indicator to recognize the efficiency or inefficiency of a company. Therefore, the effective use of IC is one of the most important factors on company efficiency. IC is a group of knowledge assets and one of these knowledge assets is Corporate Social Capital (CSC). CSC is a kind of intangible assets and it is argued that the main dimensions of CSC are relevant to IC. In this paper, CSC is defined as the characteristics of the IC, Corporate Reputation (CR), and Structural Social Capital (SSC). The problems that this study has focused on are (i) absence of known and clear mechanism for assessing the impact of CSC on company efficiency, (ii) applying an indicator to assess the efficiency instead applying a set of indicators, and (iii) disregard of financial soundness as an effective element on company efficiency. Base on the problem of the study, the objectives of this study are (i) to examine the relationship between CSC and company efficiency, (ii) to determine the effects of each one of CSC’s components on company efficiency, and (iii) to examine the interaction effects of variable or variables that have unexpected results on company efficiency. The data were analyzed used by (i) Multiple Regression, (ii) Post Hoc Analysis (PHA), and (iii) Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that (i) CSC has an important influence on company efficiency, (ii) Centrality, Human Capital and Financial Soundness have positive influence on company efficiency, and (iii) Research Intensity and Internal Capital have negative influence on company efficiency. Lastly, Financial Soundness can counteract the negative influences of Research Intensity and Internal Capital on company efficiency. The results of the study suggested that (i) added value of CSC to different companies in the ICT sector showed be recognized (ii) showed a theoretical model for CSC, and (iii) External Capital is substituted by company Centrality in IC. The findings of the study also show the importance of IC and CSC on company efficiency and it is recommended that CSC should be considered as an important element on company efficiency that has influence on financial statements.

THE HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLE AS SENTINEL FOR DRUGS EVALUATION: DEMONSTRATION OF TETRACYCLINE ADHESION TO HAIR FOLLICLE AS PROPOSED MECHANISM IN DYSFUNCTIONAL HAIR LOSS
Authors: Embi Abraham A.
Published: December 2020

One mechanism of action of antibiotics such as tetracyclines involves the disruption of pathogens cell membranes. This author had previously demonstrated in vitro and in vivo the utility of a human miniorgan, a.k.a. hair follicle as sentinel in demonstrating the deleterious effect of alcohol by showing a disruption in metabolism.

In this manuscript, the hair follicle was again used in vitro as sentinel in direct contact with another exogenous substance in two forms, namely liquid and powder tetracycline. The results demonstrate the adhesion property of tetracycline as a mechanism causing deleterious effect on the biological active cells of the follicle’s dermal papilla, and the consequent disruption in metabolism. Notably, it was documented a strong affinity of the antibiotic to the keratin skeleton of the hair follicle. In a recent published report, the adverse effect of tetracycline induction on experimentally deficient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mouse was reversed and documented 30 days after discontinuation of the tetracycline diet. The experiments herein presented correlate and confirm previous findings of long term exposure to tetracycline causing not only damage the pathogen; but also healthy human cells. Since mtDNA may play a role in aging and age-associated diseases: Beware of tetracycline therapy on the elderly.

Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal mediante la distribución online de encuestas, compuestas por un cuestionario sociodemográfico y preguntas de opción múltiple que permitieran caracterizar las particularidades encontradas en la atención online. La muestra incidental estuvo conformada por 491 trabajadores de la salud mental. Resultados: el 50% indicó una adaptación muy alta o alta, y solo el 11% baja adaptación. El 92,87% realizaba atención online y el 91,45% trabajaba desde su hogar, total o parcialmente. Las dificultades principales se dieron en torno a aspectos tecnológicos y a interrupciones domésticas, mientras que las ventajas principales fueron ahorro de tiempo y gastos, más allá de los aspectos preventivos. Conclusiones: dada la buena adaptación de los terapeutas y la rentabilidad de esta modalidad de atención, es posible que la misma persista aun cuando la presencialidad vuelva a habilitarse. De este modo, se destaca la importancia de incorporar la atención online con sus particularidades en la formación de los psicoterapeutas.
Medieval Islamic Stucco Décor vs. Soviet Architecture of Uzbekistan
Authors: Zagirova Guzel
Published: December 2020

This is a review of what is termed ‘twentieth-century Central Asian national style’. It aims to answer the question of how the 20th century treated the heritage of early Islamic ornamental art. My research uses the example of carved stucco architectural décor in Uzbekistan. This technique was traditional in both the early Islamic period and the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Uzbekistan was chosen because it possesses the most representative examples of architecture, illustrating common processes for all of Central Asia. I raise the questions of adoptions and rejections in stylisation, review the stages of reinterpretation and reconsideration, and finally propose my own periodisation.
A novel bat algorithm for solving optimal power flow problem
Authors: Hardiansyah Hardiansyah
Published: December 2020

This paper presents an application of a novel bat algorithm (NBA) for solving optimal power flow (OPF) problems in power systems. The proposed algorithm combines a bat habitat selection and their self-adaptive compensation for the Doppler effects in echoes into the basic bat algorithm (BA). The selection of the bat habitat is modeled as a selection between their quantum behavior and mechanical behavior. The objective of this paper is to minimize the total generation costs by considering equality and inequality constraints. To validate the proposed algorithm, the standard IEEE 30-bus and 57-bus test systems are applied. The results show that the proposed technique provides a better solution than other heuristic techniques reported in the literature.

“It is no big deal!”: Fraud Diamond theory as an explanatory model to understand students’ prevalence and perceptions of severity of academic fraudulent behavior
Authors: de Oliveira Eva Dias , Morais Catarina , Pasion Rita , Hodgson Julia
Published: December 2020

Academic fraud encompasses a number of different dishonest behaviors, such as cheating on exams, plagiarizing essays or using ghost writers, to name some. Regarding fraudulent academic behavior, little is known on the relationship between students’ perceptions of the severity of such behavior and its prevalence, and whether fraud diamond theory can serve as a framework to explain this phenomenon as it has for other criminal behaviors. We surveyed 1,032 university students and found that the more students reported engaging in academic fraudulent behavior, the less severe they perceived those behaviors to be. The results also showed that motivation, rationalization and capability are important factors in predicting students’ prevalence of academic fraudulent behavior but, and as expected, only rationalization emerged as a predictor of perceived severity, showing that the more students are able to find justifications for the fraudulent behavior, the less severe they perceive those behaviors to be. Implications to higher education are discussed.

Background: Public health teams need to understand how the public responds to vaccination messages in a pandemic or epidemic to inform successful campaigns encouraging the uptake of new vaccines as they become available. Methods: A rapid systematic review was performed by searching PsycINFO, MEDLINE, healthevidence.org, OSF Preprints and PsyArXiv Preprints in May 2020 for studies including at least one health message promoting vaccine uptake of droplet spread viruses. Non-English language studies and dissertations were excluded in line with using rapid review methodology. Included studies were assessed for quality using the MMAT or AMSTAR, and for patient and public involvement (PPI) in designing and/or conducting the research. Results: Thirty-five articles were included. Most reported messages for seasonal influenza (n=11; 31%) or H1N1 (n = 11; 31%) and only seven studies (20%) sampled vulnerable populations at higher risk of mortality/morbidity from viruses, e.g. older adults. Evidence from moderate to high quality studies for improving vaccine uptake included providing: information about virus risks, vaccination safety, and addressing misunderstandings about vaccination, vaccination reminders, detail about vaccination clinics and their locations, and mixed media campaigns at scale across hospitals or communities. Behavioural influences (beliefs and intentions) were improved when shorter messages, risk-reducing, or relative risk framing was used, the benefits of vaccination to society were emphasised, and beliefs about capability to be vaccinated and concerns among target populations (e.g. about vaccine safety) were addressed. Clear, credible, messages in language target groups can understand were found acceptable. Two studies (6%) described PPI in the research process. Conclusions: This review has identified effective messages to encourage vaccination and improve vaccination beliefs and intentions. Future campaigns should consider the beliefs and information needs of target populations in their design. Findings were inconclusive whether the medium through which the message was delivered, e.g. text message, affected outcomes. More high quality research is needed to demonstrate the behavioural outcomes of messaging interventions.
Working Memory, Fluid Reasoning, and Complex Problem Solving: Different Results Explained by the Brunswik Symmetry
Authors: Kretzschmar Andre , Nebe Stephan
Published: December 2020

In order to investigate the nature of Complex Problem Solving (CPS) within the nomological network of cognitive abilities, few studies have simultantiously considered working memory and intelligence, and results are inconsistent. The Brunswik symmetry principle was recently discussed as a possible explanation for the inconsistent findings, because the operationalizations differed greatly between the studies. Following this assumption, 16 different combinations of operationalizations of working memory and fluid reasoning were examined in the present study (N = 152). Based on structural equation modelling with single-indicator latent variables (i.e., corrected for measurement error), it was found that working memory incrementally explained CPS variance above and beyond fluid reasoning in only two of 16 conditions. However, according to the Brunswik symmetry principle, both conditions can be interpreted as an asymmetrical (unfair) comparison, in which working memory was artificially favored over fluid reasoning. We conclude that there is little evidence that working memory plays a unique role in solving complex problems independent of fluid reasoning. Furthermore, the impact of the Brunswik symmetry principle was clearly demonstrated as the explained variance in CPS varied between 4 and 31% depending on which operationalizations of working memory and fluid reasoning were considered. We argue that future studies investigating the interplay of cognitive abilities will benefit if the Brunswik principle is taken into account.
Power Laws, Prices and National Accounts: Are There Any Irregularities?
Authors: Pater Ciprian Florin , Mazrekaj Deni
Published: December 2020

Many economic regularities have been found to adhere to power laws. In this paper, we apply Benford’s law to consumer price index data from Norway and Zipf’s law on a Norwegian report about the history of Norwegian national accounts. Norway is a particularly interesting country to study as it scores among the highest-ranked countries on data quality. We find that the consumer price index adheres to Benford’s law, showing high data quality. On the other hand, our results do indicate that the report does not adhere to Zipf’s law.
Shopping to belong: Testing and advancement of a framework on consumer behaviour aimed to promote belonging
Authors: Vargas-Bianchi Lizardo
Published: December 2020

Much research has been conducted on how consumption is related to human relations, for example, consumer communities organized around specific brands or the way people use products to define their own identity and transmit a desired image. However, only a scarcity of research has examined the consumption process when the fundamental intention is to leverage group belonging. The literature comprises a single theoretical framework that describes this behaviour, a nascent proposition that has not been tested. This study reviews the transferability of the model and its descriptive extent of the phenomenon in a different context than the one originally used for its proposal. A qualitative deductive case study and a pattern matching analysis technique were employed. The findings revealed that the model is transferable, thus revealing its suitability for future research on consumer behaviour intentionally aimed to promote belonging. The study also expands the framework with precisions on its conceptualization.
Conservation tillage and preceding rainy-season crops on root: shoot characteristics, productivity, profitability and nutrient uptake of succeeding mustard under semi-arid rainfed ecosystem
Authors: Amgain Lal Prasad , Sharma Ajit Ram
Published: December 2020

Conservation tillage practices are poplar, environmental friendly and economically feasible approaches to increase the productivity and resource-use efficiency of arid and semi-arid rainfed ecosystems. Rainfed field experiments were accomplished at IARI, Pusa, New Delhi in 2010-11 and 2011-12 to evaluate root: shoot growth, productivity, profitability and nutrient uptake in mustard under the various conservation tillage practices with preceding rainy- season crops; pearlmillet, clusterbean and greengram; and organic mulches, viz. no residues, crop residues and Leucaena twigs applied to both rainy- season crops and mustard grown with common recommended package of practices. Higher root length density (RLD), root surface area (RSA), root volume density (RVD), average root diameter (RD), crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR) and net assimilation rate (NAR) were recorded under clusterbean–mustard and greengram–mustard systems over the pearlmillet- mustard system. Interaction between crop residues and preceding rainy-season crops on growth parameters exerted significant variations, while yield attributes showed the mixed responses. Mustard seed yield was significantly higher (+51%) in 2010-11 (1.80 t ha-1) than that of 2011-12 (1.19 t ha-1). Economic analysis exhibited the highest returns and net returns/ Rs invested after clusterbean with Leucaena twigs mulching. The nutrient uptake followed the same trend as that of seed and stalk yield. It was concluded that growing mustard after clusterbean with Leucaena twigs mulching was high-yielding and profitable cropping system under conservation tilled semi-arid rainfed ecosystem.

Published: December 2020

Concept of drama performance used for learning Muhadatsah in class IX Muhammadiyah Boarding School Uses cooperative learning approach and Nadzariystul Wahdah unity approach that is collaborated with the method of drama individual role-playing model (presenting manuscript). The purpose of this research is to know the skills of Ahlaqulqarimah speak Arabic. Because many students that still difficulty in speaking because of the linguistic factors in question include difficulties in studying language science such as Sharaf and nahwu. To distract Ahlaqulqarimah to still think that talking with the Arabic language is not as difficult as imagined or perceived before, in the implementation of the concept of Muhadatsah students given some training exercises (strengthening), namely: movement exercises, vocals, character exercises, and last student learning results must be appreciated or rewarded in the form of drama staging in Arabic. Therefore, to overcome the problem of difficulty in learning the Muhadatsah in daily life by Ahlaqulqarimah Muhammadiyah Boarding School, then researchers offer a method to hone the skills of speech students with stage play using the Arabic language in the performance of drama there is communicative, creative, and fun nature. So that the problems that have been faced student can be overcome
