IMPACT OF BOARD DIVERSITY ON FIRM PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM SRI LANKA
Authors: Dedunu HH , Anuradha PANS
Published: April 2020

Purpose of the study: The study is focused to investigate the impact of board diversity on firm performance through board meetings based on listed manufacturing companies listed at the Colombo Stock Exchange in Sri Lanka.

Methodology: Bio-demographic diversity of Board measured by gender, age and race, and job-related diversity measured on functional, education and organizational tenure. Firm performance measured through Tobin Q and Return on Sales. The number of board meetings conducted per year was taken as a mediating variable. Listed manufacturing companies at Colombo Stock Exchange from 1985 to 2019 were the population from which twenty-eight firms that have been operating from 2013 to 2017 were filtered as the sample. Required data was collected by annual reports, published financial documents, and on which gender index, age index, race index, functional index, education index, and organization tenure index were calculated separately. Multiple regression analysis was used to measure the direct and indirect impact of board diversities on firm performance.

Main findings: The regression result indicated a significant positive impact of gender diversity on firm performance; however age and race diversities had an insignificant impact. Further, the impacts of functional, education and organizational tenure diversities to firm performance were negative. Finally, the study found a significant indirect impact of bio-demographic and job-related diversities on firm performance through board meetings confirming the mediating effect of the board meeting.

Implications: Policymakers and authorizes listed manufacturing firms should identify the escalating trend of women participation, educational improvement in the director board and ought to take necessary actions to maintain appropriate diversity levels in terms of bio demographic and job-related to enhance the firm performance.

The novelty of the study: There is a lack of research literature discussing the impact of board diversity on firm performance with the mediating effect of the board meeting.

Published: April 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of travel preferences on domestic tourism participation behaviour of domestic tourists by comparing the preferences of both domestic tourists and non-tourists in Nairobi county, Kenya. Methodology: The study adopted descriptive and explanatory research designs. The target population was residents of Nairobi County aged above 18 years. Close-ended questionnaires were used to collect data from 337 domestic tourists in five tourist sites and 339 non-tourists in eight shopping malls within Nairobi. Descriptive analysis, the independent t-test and multiple regression tests were used to analyze the resultant data. Main Findings:  The results from the independent t-test showed significant differences between domestic tourists and domestic non-tourists with the tourists displayed stronger preferences than the non-tourists (t =-3.04, df =674, p=0.002). The regression analysis revealed that preferences significantly predicted participation behaviour for both domestic tourists (β=0.287, p<0.001) and domestic non-tourists (β= -0.316, p<0.001). Applications of this study: The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the influence of tourism preferences on domestic tourism participation from the viewpoint of both tourists and non-tourists. This is key to supporting both product developers and destination marketers to avail of the right products and formulate the right marketing messages. It also serves to extend the debate on domestic tourism non-participation. Novelty/Originality of this study:  The study contributes to existing knowledge by clearly bringing out the gap in the current domestic product offering and marketing messages through a comparison of the preferences of domestic tourists and non-tourists. This knowledge is required to maintain the existing domestic market (current tourists) and also to tap into the lucrative potential market that is made up of the current non-tourists.

Published: April 2020

This study was conducted to understand the constraints faced by rural dairy goat farmers holistically in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Since goat production for milk is common in the study area, this study was conducted to assess the constraints (production and marketing) faced by the farmers and possibly offer solutions. A sample of 110 rural household dairy-goat farmers were randomly selected from ten villages of Sekhukhune District of the Province. Descriptive statistics and Probit regression model were used to analyse the data. The results revealed that majority of the farmers were female and were between middle and old aged. Most of them were married with secondary education being the highest educational level attained. They mostly keep an average of 4 goats per household, with social grant being their major source of income. Probit analysis revealed that safety of dairy goat and grazing pastures (prlessthan0.025 and plessthan0.031 respectively) were major constraints of dairy goat production while breed improvement and milk processing prlessthan0.0001 and prlessthan0.0001 respectively) were major constraints of goat milk marketing faced by rural household dairy goat farmers. Farmers were willing to enhance their dairy goat production for sustainable milk production if security of their animals and grazing pastures could be improved upon. Also advanced breed improvement and milk processing techniques if provided by government would greatly increase the production of the dairy goat milk in the study area.

IRON METABOLISM AND INDICATORS REFLECTING ITS CHANGES IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS (REVIEW OF LITERATURE)
Authors: Borodulina E. A. , Yakovleva E. V.
Published: April 2020

Iron is an essential element for human and bacteria, including mycobacterium tuberculosis. Over review includesthe literature on the problem of iron metabolism in patients with tuberculosis and with comorbid pathology HIV infection and tuberculosis. The literature was searched for when writing this review using the RSCI, CyberLeninka, Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, PubMed databases using the following keywords: iron, ferritin, hepsidin, lactoferrin, tuberculosis, pneumonia, HIV infection. Iron compounds are involved in many redox reactions: oxygen transport, cellular respiration, the trichloroacetic acid cycle, DNA biosynthesis, and others. The ratio of intracellular and extracellular iron in the body is regulated by the low molecular weight hormone hepcidin, the mechanism of action of which is to block the function of ferroportin, an exporter of iron from cells, which leads to the accumulation of the intracellular iron pool and the prevention of the toxic effect of free iron. The role of iron in the interaction of the human body with ferro-dependent bacteria has been established. Iron is necessary for the growth and development of bacterial cells, and the methods for its production from the host are different. Information on the effect of iron metabolism on pulmonary tuberculosis is scarce and contradictory: some authors have identified a decrease in hemoglobin and transferrin in combination with elevated levels of ferritin in patients with tuberculosis; according to other sources, hyperferritinemia in tuberculosis cannot be predictive, but is a marker inflammation. At the same time, there are studies that indicate a significant increase in ferritin in patients with disseminated tuberculosis relative to other clinical forms. Currently, the incidence of tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection is increasing, while diagnostic tests are not very informative. The search for diagnostic markers in terms of iron metabolism may open up new possibilities for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Published: April 2020

The complete laboratory and clinical instrumental examination was conducted, it included serum COMP test, circadian excretion of type II collagen C-terminal telopeptides Urine CartiLaps (СТХ II) and Т2 relaxometry in 29 patients of both sexes of the main group with early (0-I) X-ray osteoarthrosis stages, 30 subjects of comparison group with no X-ray osteoarthrosis evidences aged 44.7±5.9 years and 25 healthy subjects aged 26.3±2.6 years of the control group. The increase (р<0,05) of COMP and Urine CartiLaps levels as well as the increase of Т2 relaxation signal was found at early osteoarthrosis evidences. It was proven that there was (р<0.01) a connection (R=0.8) between COMP and Urine CTX II levels as well as (р<0.05) results of Т2 relaxometry (R=0.8). It was proven that collagen anisotropy and formation of chondromalacia areas as Т2 relaxometry showed in patients with early OA evidences were connected with accumulation of serum COMP and increase of type II collagen circadian renal excretion. The combination of laboratory and radiological methods of articular hyaline cartilage assessment may be used for finding early osteoarthrosis stages.

A study of the main indicators of red blood (RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH) and the concentration of EPO, sTfR in 9 cancer patients with anemic syndrome (AS) against sepsis was carried out. Among them, patients with chronic disease anemia (ACh), with normocytic, normochromic characteristics of red blood cells and low hematocrit predominated. In 2 patients, microcytosis and erythrocyte hypochromia were noted, the concentration of sTfR was significantly higher than normal (0.9 ± 0.07 μg / ml), amounted to 2.7 μg / ml in one of them and 1.9 μg / ml in the other, which testified to t iron deficiency erythropoiesis (IDE) on the background of the ACh,. In 7 patients with ACh without IDE, sTfR values were within the normal range (0.1-1.2) μg / ml, the median was 0.5 μg/ml. In all patients with sepsis, the production of EPO was inadequate for the severity of the AS, to a lesser extent in patients with IDE. The average EPO production in the group was 19.4 ± 5.1 (7.7-52.8) mU / ml, median = 12.1 mE / ml. Further studies of EPO, sTfR are planned in order to determine their role in therapeutic tactics in the correction of AS in cancer patients with sepsis.

The pathology of the hip joints in children is the object of increased attention of specialists both in our country and abroad. Despite the wide coverage of this problem, most studies are devoted to analysis of the advantages of various surgical intervention technologies. To determine the significance of differences in hemogram indices in children with different nosological forms of hip joint pathology and indicators of healthy children. Hemogram and leukoformula parameters were determined in 10 healthy children and 47 children with hip joint pathology. The significance of differences in indicators compared with the norm and between different nosological groups of patients was evaluated. The dynamics of hemogram changes was evaluated at a long time after surgery. The largest deviations from normal hemogram values were found in a group of children with hip dysplasia complicated by aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. Two months after surgery, the main hemogram parameters in all groups of patients are normalized. The reactions of lipid peroxidation are changing, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of peroxidation products, primarily diene conjugates. Along with this, the activity of individual antioxidant enzymes changes - the activity of catalase decreases and the activity of superoxide dismutase increases. The most extreme values were noted in the group of children with epiphyseal dysplasia. In children with hip dysplasia complicated by aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, prior to surgical treatment, a statistically significant increase in the number of leukocytes and platelets in the blood serum is observed. In patients with epiphyseal dysplasia, osteochondropathy, both in the early and late stages, changes in the hemogram indices relate to the indicators of red blood cells and hemoglobin. In children with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, hemogram values did not have statistically significant differences from the norm. In all groups of patients, destabilization of the peroxidation and antioxidant defense systems was noted.

Diagnosing of bloodstream infection (BSI) in outpatients is essential. A large blood volume is required to obtain blood culture (CLSI): 2 sets, 40ml of blood for diagnosing in 95% cases of bacteremia. Molecular-genetic methods can not replace blood culture method, but they accelerate the identification of any pathogen. Culturomics gives a combination of different conditions for isolating microorganisms from a sample and along with their genetic identification. We used the patent method for direct inoculation of buffy-coat from 4,5ml of a venous blood sample and MALDI-ToF identification method. In 382 outpatients examined there were received 183 blood cultures (48,0%), more often among women (65,6%) and young people (74,9%). The causative agents of community-acquired bloodstream infection were aerobes (73,4%), anaerobes (24,2%), fungi (2,4%). The gram-positive cocci were prevailing (51,4%) and the gram-negative rods were isolated rather seldom (9,6%). BSI was monomicrobial (66,5%) and polymicrobial (33,5%). Polymicrobial blood cultures had 2, 3, 4 agents in one blood sample (75,4%, 18,8%, 5,8%, respectively). There were also found combinations of different species of aerobes (47,8%), aerobes with anaerobes (42%). BSI caused complications of the primary disease of the respiratory system, urogenital system and in 100% of cases after plastic surgery. A small blood volume is required for buffy-coat inoculation, the direct agar culture reduces the response time to 2 days, so it makes genetic identification possible on the 2nd day from the moment of blood collection.

In vitro diagnostics are used at all stages of patient care. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of laboratory examination on clinical decision-making in providing medical care to patients with a cardiovascular profile. We also took into account the level of financing for the laboratory industry in the Russian Federation. We divided our study on three sequential steps: literature review, survey of clinicians and test-survey of clinicians. The share of costs for the laboratory tests in 2017 amounted to about 8% of the total funding for Russian health care. About 80% (70; 90) of the visits of the attending physicians are associated with the appointment of laboratory tests. Among patients who were prescribed any laboratory test - in 62.1% (95% CI 16.9-24.9) cases, the results of these tests influenced clinical decision making related to the initiation, modification or termination of any treatment. All visits of clinicians were divided by purpose: tests were prescribed in almost 100% (90; 100) cases during the initial examination, in 40% (20; 60) cases during repeated visits, and in 40% (15; 40) cases when patients were examined before discharge. In more than half of cases (57,4%; n=31), doctors correctly assumed about the about the share of financing of the laboratory industry. The majority of respondents considered the amount of expenses adequate and recommended to maintain the current level in the future. According to attending physicians, new laboratory markers should demonstrate additional information about clinical relevance to improve patient outcomes. Thus, in current economic realities, future laboratory tests should be financially maximally available and at the same time be clinically highly effective auxiliary instruments. It creates new challenges in finding laboratory biomarkers and putting them into clinical practice.

Apports de la génomique fonctionnelle à la cartographie fine de QTL

Published: April 2020

De nombreux progrès ont été réalisés ces dernières années en génomique. Le développement de technologies à base de supports miniaturisés, permet aujourd’hui d’explorer les génomes tant au niveau de leur structure que de leur expression. Les puces à ADN permettent ainsi de génotyper plusieurs milliers de marqueurs SNP d’un génome ou encore de mesurer le niveau d’expression de plusieurs milliers de gènes d’un tissu. Combiner l’information génotypique avec des mesures phénotypiques élémentaires (ARNm, protéines ou encore métabolites) ouvre de nouvelles perspectives dans l’étude du fonctionnement du vivant et a donné naissance à un nouveau concept, la «génétique génomique». Cet article est centré sur les apports de la «génétique génomique» dans le contexte de la détection de QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus). Après avoir défini la notion de QTL d’expression (eQTL), cet article propose dans un premier temps un bilan des différents programmes de cartographie de QTL d’expression décrits dans la littérature. Sont ensuite présentés les différentes méthodes utilisant des données d’expression pour préciser ou caractériser fonctionnellement des régions QTL responsables de la variation de caractères d’intérêt avec des exemples concernant les animaux d’élevage.
Hyperbolic Numbers in Modeling Genetic Phenomena
Authors: Petoukhov Sergey
Published: April 2020

The article is devoted to applications of 2-dimensional hyperbolic numbers and their algebraic 2n-dimensional extensions in modeling some genetic and cultural phenomena. Mathematical properties of hyperbolic numbers and their bisymmetric matrix representations are described in a connection with their application to analyze the following structures: alphabets of DNA nucleobases; inherited phyllotaxis phenomena; Punnett squares in Mendelian genetics; the psychophysical Weber-Fechner law; long literary Russian texts (in their special binary representations). New methods of algebraic analysis of the harmony of musical works are proposed, taking into account the innate predisposition of people to music. The hypothesis is put forward that sets of eigenvectors of matrix representations of basis units of 2n-dimensional hyperbolic numbers play an important role in transmitting biological information. A general hyperbolic rule regarding the oligomer cooperative organization of different genomes is described jointly with its quantum-information model. Besides, the hypothesis about some analog of the Weber-Fechner law for sequences of spikes in single nerve fibers is formulated. The proposed algebraic approach is connected with the theme of the grammar of biology and applications of bisymmetric doubly stochastic matrices. Applications of hyperbolic numbers reveal hidden interrelations between structures of different biological and physical phenomena. They lead to new approaches in mathematical modeling genetic phenomena and innate biological structures.
