Authors: Alikina Inga N. , Dolgikh Oleg V. , Kazakova Olga A.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Chemical admixtures, including those containing aluminum contaminate the R.F. territory environment. There is a well-proven dependence between hygienic factors and population health. Both facts call for developing scientifically substantiated sanitary recommendations for diagnostics and prevention that should involve applying up-to-date critical technologies, including research on proteins acting as immune modulators. Material and methods. We performed a diagnostic examination and comparatively analyzed the health of children living on territory under the ambient air exposure to aluminum compounds in 78 children who had lived there for not less than four years. The reference group consisted of 20 children who lived in a recreation zone. Immune indices in the examined children were assessed using flow cytometry (Bcl-2, TNFRI), enzyme immunoassay (carcinoembryonic antigen CEA), and allergosorbent (IgG-specific to the aluminum) methods. Genetic indices (TLR4, CPOX, ANKK1) were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We also identified aluminum in ambient air and biological media with mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. Results. We took ambient air exposure to aluminum in 2 reference concentrations. The average aluminum contents in children’s blood were established to be authentically (p < 0.05) higher than reference levels (by 5.5 times) and the same indices in children from the reference group (by 4.5 times). Average aluminum contents in the blood of children from the test group amounted to 0.037 µg/cm3. It was authentically different from the same index in the reference group (0.02 µg/cm3). Simultaneously we revealed that exposed children had polymorph genotypes of proteomic profile genes in blood plasma, namely TLR4 rs1927911, CPOX (rs1131857), ANKK1 rs1800497. Adverse effects of the exposure to aluminum became apparent due to disorders of neural immune regulation as hyperproduction of IgG specific to aluminum and anti-apoptotic transcription protein Bcl-2. It was confirmed by authentic relations between exposure markers and effects that are absent in the reference group as well as by apparent health disorders such as asthenovegetative syndrome. Conclusion. The expression of immune mediators (protein that take part in apoptosis, such as TNFR or anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2) and related sections in candidate genes (CPOX rs1131857, ANKK1 rs1800497) with polymorphic changes in them can be recommended as indices for determining and preventing the risk of harm to health in conditions of excessive aerogenic contamination with aluminum compounds.

Published: December 2020

Human life on Earth depends on the continuous availability of oxygen, but conditions for the entry of oxygen into the cells of the body change in time and space, easily broken, owing to what may develop hypoxia - a condition of oxygen starvation of tissues. The first part of the review provides information on the maintenance of oxygen homeostasis in cells, on the key component responsible for the regulation of the molecular response to hypoxia - the HIFs family of transcription factors (Hypoxia-Inducible Factors). It is indicated that it is possible to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the body by delivering it to cells and tissues with water and various oxygen cocktails. Data from experimental studies of the biological effect of oxygenated drinking water, as well as the results of studying the effects of oxygen-enriched drinking water with the participation of volunteers are presented. The issue of the formation of oxygen (free) radicals when drinking oxygen-enriched drinking water is considered. The second part of the review will provide data on the successful use of oxygen-rich water in domestic therapeutic and surgical practice in complex treatment in order to reduce the negative effect of hypoxia in patients with chronic heart failure and generalized peritonitis complicated by intestinal insufficiency syndrome; on the method of improving the supply of oxygen to the body using enteral oxygen therapy - oxygen cocktails - for diseases of the heart, lungs, bronchi and gastrointestinal tract, atopic dermatitis, placental insufficiency, as well as to improve physical and mental performance. The review draws specialist’s attention to the problem of the biological effect of oxygen-enriched drinking water, its insufficient knowledge and the possible yet unrealized potential in terms of preventing various diseases and maintaining optimal human health.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. The low quality of environmental and educational factors negatively impact on children’s health in primary school. Data and methods. The objects of the study were indices of the content of chemicals in the atmospheric air and classrooms, drinking water; indices of the intensity of the educational process, biochemical indices of negative effects in children aged of 7-10 years, exposed to the combined effects of factors of the educational environment and hygienic conditions at the initial stage of education with various types of training programs. Results. An unsatisfactory quality of atmospheric air in the territories of educational institutions and classrooms was found for the content of phenol and formaldehyde, the constant presence of nickel and chromium. Phenol in the blood was substantiated as a marker of inhalation exposure and index marker of educational load factors - the use of technical teaching means in the educational process, intellectual and emotional loads, the monotony of loads. The connection with the combined effect of dissimilar factors has been established for classes of comorbid diseases of the nervous system and digestive organs. Two indices have been substantiated as biomarkers of the comorbidity in schoolchildren under the combined effect of dissimilar factors: acetylcholinesterase and pepsinogen I in blood serum. Discussion. The work established sequential continuous logical chain of links ‘the combined effect of environment, the educational factors - a change in indices of negative impact’. So far, the shown likelihood of comorbid diseases of the nervous system and digestive organs makes it possible to predict an increase in the overall incidence of diseases in junior schoolchildren under aerogenic exposure and educational load (the level of additional cases is about 300 per year). Conclusion. The chemical environmental and educational factors and biomarkers of comorbidity should be taken into account when developing measures aimed at minimizing the risks of the gain in the comorbidity involving the nervous system and digestive organs under the combined impact of dissimilar factors.

Introduction. The element composition of urine is relevant and demanded index in biomedical, biomonitoring studies to assess the level of contamination of biological media and public health risks. Material and methods. The content of 12 elements (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Cd, Tl, Pb) in urine of unexposed children (n = 100 and n = 57, respectively, average age < 6 years) residing in the rural and industrial region of the Western Urals was determined by ICP-MS using Agilent 7500cx inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, USA) with an octopole reaction / collision cell (ORS). The measurement was carried out according to Methodical Guidelines 4.1. 3230-14 (FR.1.31.2014.17064) developed by the authors. Urine samples were directly analyzed after 1/10 dilution (V / V) with 1% nitric acid solution. The validity of the results was confirmed by analysis of standard urine samples SERONORMTM urine (Norway). The results were presented as basic statistical indices: minimum and maximum values, arithmetic mean (AM), geometric mean (GM), 5th, 50th, 95th percentiles, and were interpreted in accordance with current international requirements. Results. In the unexposed group of children the arithmetic mean (AM) for vanadium is 0.68 μ/l; chromium - 1.91 μg/l; manganese 0.96 - μg/l; nickel - 1.84 μg/l; copper - 13.28 μg/l; zinc - 270.56 μg/l; arsenic - 18.- 99 μg/l; selenium - 22.55 μg/l; strontium - 239.09 μg/l; cadmium - 0.12 μg/l; thallium - 0.16 μg/l; lead - 0.83 μg/l. The arithmetic mean in the group of children of the industrial territory for vanadium is - 0.72 μg/l; chromium - 2.13 μg/l; manganese - 1.11 μg/l; nickel - 2.76 μg/l; copper - 26.67 μg/l; zinc - 482.1 μg/l; arsenic - 10.09 μg/l; selenium - 32.84 μg/l; strontium - 1275.35 μg/l; cadmium - 0.122 μg/l; thallium - 0.16 μg/l; lead - 2.16 μg/l. Evaluation of the results of the study showed AM excess of nickel, copper, zinc, strontium and lead. Conclusion. The paper presents regional features of the urine elemental composition in children who permanently reside in Western Urals’ rural and industrial areas. The study results based on the 95 percentile (P95) can be used as approximate reference data as a basis for assessing the risk associated with exposure to metals. The comparative evaluation of the obtained results with the reference concentrations used in Europe, the USA and Canada for national human biomonitoring programs was carried out.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. Chemical factors affect the emergence of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks when drinking water consumed in the arid regions of Russia and the world. Material and methods. The objects of the study are samples of water springs located in the city of Saratov. Methods of atomic-absorption spectrometry, spectrophotometry, and potentiometry were used to determine contaminants’ content in water of springs. The health and hygiene safety of spring water was assessed by calculating carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk, hazard level, and total hazard level. Results. The unacceptable level of non-carcinogenic risk (HI>1) was established to refer to the development of pathologies of the cardiovascular system and liver and the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, skin, endocrine system. Nitrates are the greatest contributor to the formation of non-carcinogenic hazards of spring water from the sources studied. Discussion. The processes of rotting plant matter, agricultural activities, and exchange between water and underlying aquifer caused the exceeding of the admissible health risk of water springs located at higher elevations was mainly due to. The highest frequency and magnitude of excess non-carcinogenic sanitary and chemical indices are most often characteristic of springs at the highest elevations or located in the zone of active agricultural activity. The Ni2+ ion, with the highest amount of the total carcinogenic risk caused the carcinogenic effect mainly. It corresponds to springs located on the slopes near the freeways. Conclusion. Nitrates, nickel, cadmium, and iron, made the most significant contribution to the risk of non-carcinogenic exposure in drinking water from the studied springs have. The presence of nickel had a more pronounced carcinogenic effect. Toxic non-carcinogenic water action is directed mainly at the cardiovascular system and liver. The use of water from the springs studied decreases with the increase in the height of the source above sea level caused the probability of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects. The exchange processes with the underlying aquifer of carbonate rocks, as well as the life of iron-healing bacteria during floods and rains, can explain the effect of the arid climate on the distribution of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks in the spring water of Saratov.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. In conditions of the high density of urban development, efficient use of municipal lands is of particular relevance. Food production facilities make up a significant sector of many cities’ economy, including centers of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, chemistry, petrochemistry, mining, etc., i.e., settlements where significant areas are limited in use by sanitary protection zones. Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 3, 2018, No. However, such a justification is a scientific and methodological problem since there is no regulatory consolidation of the procedure. The purpose of the study was to develop and practically test methodological approaches to justification the admissibility (inadmissibility) of placing a food production facility in the sanitary protection zone of enterprises in other line of the industry. Material and methods. Design and technical documentation were studied on sources of data on air quality at the industrial site and indoors, and the quality of food products. Authors performed hygienic assessment of the safety and quality of air, raw materials, water, and manufactured food products for compliance with sanitary requirements and standards. When analyzing potential threats to contamination of food products, a mechanism was used to isolate critical points of the technological process. Results. An algorithm for the formation of the evidence base of the absence (presence) of the negative impact on food quality, the fact of the location of the production facility in the sanitary protection zone of a large industrial enterprise on the quality of food products is proposed. On the example of the production of juices from natural concentrated products, each step of the algorithm has been worked out: analysis of the technological process of production; hazard identification, instrumental measurements of the quality of environmental objects and raw materials and products. Conclusion. The proposed algorithm allows creating a reliable evidence base for deciding on the admissibility (inadmissibility) of the location of the food production facility in the sanitary protection zone of the enterprise with a different type of activity, tested in real conditions of a large industrial unit. The algorithm can be used as a base for the widespread use and further improvement.

Introduction: Antenatal domestic violence is a global public health and human rights concern. It increases the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Aims & Objectives: To assess the frequency of antenatal domestic violence and associated factors and also to determine effect of domestic violence on fetal outcome. Place and duration of study: This cross sectional study was conducted from January to June 2015 in post-natal wards of department of Gynecology & Obstetrics of six tertiary care hospitals of Lahore. Material & Methods: A total of 255 females admitted in post-natal wards of department of Gynecology & Obstetrics enrolled after proper verbal informed consent. A structured, self-constructed questionnaire was administered on females enrolled consecutively till the desired sample size was complete. Data on domestic violence (verbal or physical), its associated factors, gestational age at birth, mode of delivery and birth weight of the neonate was analyzed on SPSS version 21.0. Results: 22% (55/255) females experienced antenatal domestic violence during current pregnancy and out of 55, 72% faced verbal abuse while 27% experienced physical violence. In total 65/255(26%) w low birth weight neonates were born and out of them 58.18% (32/55) were born to mothers facing violence during pregnancy. Husband was mostly responsible for violence in 49% of cases. Antenatal domestic violence was significantly associated with low birth weight (p=<0.001). Conclusion: Antenatal domestic violence is associated with low birth weight babies. Antenatal domestic violence prevention needs implementation of legislation and changing behaviors of violence in communities so to avoid health implications.

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure in which post tonsillectomy heamorrhage remains the most serious complication. The cold steel dissection method is the oldest and safest method used to perform tonsillectomies. Aims & Objectives: This study was done to see the frequency of posttonsillectomy heamorrhage with cold steel dissection method. It was a clinical audit performed retrospectively to compare our results with International standards. Place and duration of study: Our clinical audit was conducted at Otolaryngology department in Shalamar Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. This study was conducted in a period of 6 months. Material & Methods: The charts of patients (n=344) that underwent tonsillectomy at Shalamar Hospital from January 2016 till December 2019 were retrospectively viewed, in a cross-sectional, pilot study, using convenience sampling technique. All the tonsillectomy procedures were performed using the cold steel dissection method. Frequencies were recorded and chi-square test was applied. Results: The complication of secondary heamorrhage occurred in 7 patients and the frequency was calculated as 2%. A significant difference (P=0.01) of age was found in patients suffering from secondary heamorrhage. The incidence was lower in patients below 18 years of age (0.7%) as compared to patients above 18 years of age (7.14%). The rate of heamorrhage was found to be slightly higher in males than in females (2.6% and 1.31% respectively). Conclusion: We conclude that the rate of secondary heamorrhage in our institution is up to the rate reported in literature. Different hot techniques for tonsillectomy should also be performed in clinical settings and compared with the standard cold steel dissection tonsillectomy.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess parents’ readiness to allow students resume college after closure due to COVID-19. 

Methodology: The study was descriptive cross-sectional design done at KMTC-Mombasa Campus. Participants (parents) were selected using multistage convenient random sampling method, where an assumption of each student having at least one parent was made. The total population of students is 850, 10% of the student population was found to be a representative number for parents. (0.1x850), n=85 with a confidence level of 95%. Response rate was 85.8% (n=73). Data was obtained using interviewer administered questionnaires. Data analysis was done using SPSS and results presented using tables and narrations.

Results: 78% (57) parents were willing to allow students resume college immediately while 22 % of parents were reluctant to allow students go back to college. 78% (57) parents were aware of the college being used as a quarantine center whereas 22% (16) were unaware. 92% (67) guardians perceived the college as safe despite its use as a quarantine center, while 8% of the guardians termed the college unsafe. 8% (6) parents who perceived the college as unsafe were being reluctant to allow their children back to college. Perception of safety significantly affected the readiness to allow students back to college with a chi-square value of (p=0.001).

Unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy This study investigated readiness of as parents as key stakeholders to allow students to resume college after it had been  utilized as a quarantine centre during the COVID 19 pandemic. Readiness of parents to allow students resume studies in an institution used as a quarantine centre for clients suspected of having a highly infectious disease has not been examined in literature before especially in institutions of higher learning. The findings of this study are useful to policy makers and leaders in education sector as normalcy resumes and learning institutions are opened.

Published: December 2020

In WSN one of the issues is to route the data from the sensor nodes to sink node. The tree-based approach provides an efficient solution for establishing the path and in network aggregation. Tree is nonlinear structures, which have hierarchical levels in terms of parent-child combination. In this work the tree is constructed using the software agents. The proposed scheme uses multiagent system that comprises of both static and mobile agents. On every sensor node of WSN agent platform is running that coordinates the agent communication. Tree Construction Agent (TCA) is mobile agent that is generated at the sink node. TCA uses the angle of constraint for the construction of the tree. In the proposed work along the tree in network aggregation is done that saves the energy and reduces the delay. Aggregation Agent (AA) gets the routing information and visits the nodes along the path (tree) for data aggregation based the correlation of the sensor node data. Finally the aggregation agent routes the aggregated data to the sink node.
Mathematical Model for the Detection of Selfish Nodes in MANETs
Authors: Akhtar Md. Amir Khusru , Sahoo G.
Published: December 2020

A mobile ad hoc network, is an independent network of mobile devices connected by wireless links. Each device in a MANET can move freely in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices easily. Each must forward traffic of others, and therefore be called a router. The main challenge in building a MANET is in terms of security. In this paper we are presenting the mathematical model to detect selfish nodes using the probability density function. The proposed model works with existing routing protocol and the nodes that are suspected of having the selfishness are given a Selfishness test. This model formulates this problem with the help of prior probability and continuous Bayes’ theorem.

While it is important to respect these resource constraints, some of the unique features of mobile phones also want to highlight, such as high quality audio, constant connectivity and comfortable form factor for use as device to interact with the physical world. In this project, there is exploration of the opportunities available with the usage of Symbian OS coupled with Bluetooth technology in developing an environment for current mobile phones and demonstrate applications and simultaneously exploiting the unique features of these commercially available devices. Applications for mobile phones have been limited to standard telephony or messaging services, PDA activities (calendar and contact management) and games. In this paper, the goal is to demonstrate that viewing a handset as a generic computing platform with some unique capabilities opens up the possibility for a variety of interesting applications. The main aim of the paper is to design and develop a symbian OS coupled with Bluetooth technology based wireless remote control to control motions of robot in the real time applications with four degrees of freedom. In this paper, there is a development of program which uses the symbian OS, which reads the data from the MEMS sensor present in the cell phone. This data is then compared to the stored data and then the user will get to know the way the cell phone is being tilted, This data is sent to the robot using the blue tooth technology that is present in the cell phone. At the other end the Blue tooth in the robot will read the data and will send the data to the micro controller, which will then accordingly drive the robot in the direction as required by the user.

So many number of algorithms have been proposed for the discovery of data from the large database. However, since the number of generated patterns can be large, selecting which patterns to analyze can be nontrivial. There is thus a need for algorithms and tools that can assist in the selection of discovered patterns so that subsequent analysis can be performed in an efficient and, ideally, interactive manner. In this project, we propose a mark-based indexing method to optimize the storage and retrieval of a relative data’s from the large database.

An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. Ad hoc nodes operating in a single path, single channel model might experience packet loss and high latency due to the congestion caused. Nodes along the heavy traffic path could reach the maximum bandwidth limit and experience undesirable amounts of packet drop. In Ad hoc networks the nodes are mobile and contain no infrastructure. Certain emergency messages have to be delivered with very low latency and high reliability. An efficient routing protocol should ensure reliable packet delivery in a timely manner. Our Proposed solution is to setup multiple optimal paths based on bandwidth and delay. It allows storing multiple optimal paths based on Bandwidth and delay. At time of link failure, it will switch to next available path. To set up multiple paths, we have used the information that we get in the RREQ packet and also send RREP packet to more than one path It reduces overhead of local route discovery at the time of link failure. We investigated the performance metrics namely Retransmission Attempt, Media Access Delay, Network Load by through OPNET simulation.

Published: December 2020

El presente trabajo consistió en el desarrollo de una herramienta computacional en Matlab, la cual localiza e identifica bifurcaciones en familias uniparamétricas de sistemas dinámicos autónomos discretos y continuos. Constituye un aporte significativo para el estudio de las bifurcaciones uniparamétricas en sistemas dinámicos dado que esta basada en condiciones de bifurcación no estándar, lo cual permite determinar bifurcaciones que otros software existentes no determinan, pues estos están basados en los puntos fijos del sistema, o en condiciones estándar de bifurcación.

La política fiscal y su incidencia en la cultura tributaria del Ecuador es una investigación de tipo documental que permitió determinar que la administración de la política fiscal se orienta en la generación de ingresos que son destinados a satisfacer las necesidades de la sociedad; pero que esta se ve afectada por la evasión fiscal, que es uno de los mayores fenómenos que afectan directamente el sistema tributario del Ecuador. El no pago intencional de las contribuciones no sólo erosiona los ingresos del Estado, sino que deteriora la estructura y economía de un país, causando un efecto dañino para la sociedad.

Se buscó tipificar los sistemas agropecuarios del piedemonte amazónico mediante una muestra de 90 fincas; para ello, se empleó análisis multivariado (específicamente análisis de conglomerados). La tipificación integra aspectos estructurales y dinámicas ambientales de las fincas, así como variables socioeconómicas de los productores. A partir del número de necesidades básicas insatisfechas, la razón beneficio costo y el carbono almacenado en biomasa aérea en bosques, se identificaron cuatro tipos de sistemas: sistemas agroforestales semiempresariales, ganadería lechera semiempresarial, sistemas familiares agropecuarios tradicionales y sistemas agroforestales de subsistencia.

Voluntary flexible working arrangements and their effects on managers and employees
Authors: Sanders Stuart , Karmowska Joanna
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the effects of flexible working arrangements on employees and their managers in a service sector. Analyzing a case study of a global management consultancy, the study concerns the impact of flexible working arrangements on job satisfaction, commitment and performance as well as well-being. While it is generally accepted that flexible working arrangements have a positive impact on employees, there has been only limited theorizing and research explaining how and why such impact is generated and which contextual organizational factors might be significant in shaping the outcome. The study provides mixed evidence for benefits from flexible working arrangements where potential for increased employee performance, well-being and job satisfaction is offset by work intensification, blurred work/home boundaries, professional isolation and perceived organizational injustice. Practical implications of the study results have been intensified by accelerated organizational transition into flexible working arrangements caused by restrictions imposed as a result of Covid-19 pandemic.

Finding out whether university students will take up entrepreneurship on graduation bodes well for any economy especially the developing ones. This is because it will help governments, and other stakeholders to plan better. Importantly, if university students embrace an entrepreneurial career, it will reduce unemployment and subsequently mitigate the scourge of poverty and inequality. This study was quantitative targeting university students to understand how they perceive entrepreneurship, what they think entrepreneurship is, what they consider as the factors that may discourage them from considering an entrepreneurial career, and also whether they think of themselves as capable of venturing into entrepreneurship. Using SPSS, we analyzed the data which affirmed the three hypotheses that student’s entrepreneurship intention can be positively and significantly motivated and persuaded. Also, the result confirmed that student’s entrepreneurship intention could be positively influenced by their perception of what entrepreneurship is and the perceived characteristics of an entrepreneur. Some further research directions as well as implications are flagged.

Objective: As the incidence of active shooters increase, local emergency response has also changed. South Metro Fire Rescue coordinated a series of hyper-realistic active shooter simulation drills involving multiple agencies.Methods: “The Next Nine Minutes” was one of the largest active shooter drills performed to date with 904 personnel that were trained in 18 mass casualty active shooter drills. Evaluation was from point of injury to and including care in the operating room (OR), and evaluation of real-time system logistics.Results: A total of 126 patients in Cut Suits® received a total of 479 procedures such as needle decompressions, cricothyrotomies, tourniquets, wound packs, and chest tubes. Central to this exercise, law enforcement (LE) established a warm zone from the initial shooting. EMS was able to move into the facility, locate casualties, extract the first victim, move them to a casualty collection point (CCP), and transport them to safety within 12 minutes.Conclusions: Strengths and weaknesses were identified in prehospital and in-hospital care. These included what roles agencies play in a true event, specific timing in establishing areas such as the warm zone and CCP, transportation, and logistics at the accepting hospitals. Only after the barriers to success were identified and addressed did the timing of casualty movement drastically improve. Lessons learned from this training were ultimately used to save lives at the STEM School, Highlands Ranch, and Colorado Shooting. This in situ immersion training should be practiced as a whole system.
