Pour mieux comprendre l'impact des facteurs climatiques et l'influence de la diversité des habitats sur le dépérissement des cédraies des Aurès, une approche dendrochronologique basée sur la relation cerne-climat a été adoptée et appliquée à six stations, réparties sur deux cédraies méridionales, du Belezma et du Chélia (Atlas saharien), distantes de 60 km et impactées par différentes perturbations climatiques. Pour les deux sites étudiés, un sondage de 120 arbres a été réalisé, permettant d’extraire au total 240 carottes. Une chronologie maîtresse a été établie pour chaque station et une série moyenne de données a été élaborée pour chaque site. Les chronologies obtenues ont été standardisées afin d’atténuer les effets et les tendances non liées à la variation climatique. Puis, les chronologies résiduelles ont été utilisées pour appréhender la relation cerne-climat. Les résultats obtenus montrent une hétérogénéité de la réponse du cèdre de l’Atlas au sein des deux massifs. La durée et l'intensité des épisodes secs se sont différemment exprimées en fonction des deux sites d’étude, avec un nombre d'années sèches plus important pour le massif du Belezma, pour lequel l’indice standardisé de précipitations (SPI) révèle une récurrence d’épisodes pluvieux plus sévères à partir de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Un taux élevé d'années caractéristiques a été enregistré au niveau des deux stations étudiées. Cependant, un plus grand nombre d'événements extrêmes est enregistré au Belezma en comparaison avec le Chélia. Le signal climatique revêt une bonne homogénéité dans les deux sites, mais il est mieux perçu au Belezma. Les coefficients de corrélation expriment une plus forte relation des précipitations avec la croissance radiale au sein de la cédraie dépérie du Belezma, où le dépérissement semble être aggravé par l’âge vieillissant de cette formation, sa basse altitude, son sol maigre et ses peuplements équiennes. À contrario, l'altitude élevée, le sol profond et la structure en futaie jardinée de la formation du mont Chélia sont des facteurs qui semblent atténuer cette forte corrélation cerne-climat, et par conséquent les effets du déficit hydrique responsables du dépérissement sont significativement réduits.

Les pratiques agropastorales présentent à la fois des effets positifs et négatifs sur la régénération des agroécosystèmes. Cette étude a pour objectif de déterminer l’effet des fèces de différents ruminants sur la dissémination et la germination des espèces en fonction de leurs traits fonctionnels. Ainsi, les fèces des bovins (Bos indicus), des caprins (Capra hircus) et des ovins (Ovis aries) ont été échantillonnées en 15 répétitions suivant trois périodes saisonnières de l’année dans 45 enclos en zone sahélienne du Burkina Faso. Le potentiel en semences et la capacité de germination de cinq espèces agroforestières (Balanites aegyptiaca, Faidherbia albida, Piliostigma reticulatum, Vachellia nilotica et Ziziphus mauritiana) et d’une espèce invasive (Senna obtusifolia) y ont été déterminés. Les résultats montrent que les fèces des caprins contiennent plus de semences des espèces agroforestières tandis que les ovins disséminent plus les semences de l’espèce invasive. Pour l’ensemble des six espèces, le potentiel séminal des fèces des caprins représente 64 %, contre 34 % pour les fèces des ovins et 2 % pour les fèces des bovins, de l’ensemble du potentiel séminal. Le potentiel séminal fluctue tout au long de l’année et est plus élevé en saison sèche et froide, soit 73 %, contre 21 % pour les fèces de la saison sèche et chaude et 6 % pour les fèces de la saison pluvieuse. Les semences témoins et celles issues des fèces des caprins ont les plus longs délais, durée, vitesse et forts taux de germination comparativement aux semences issues des fèces des ovins et des bovins. Les fèces assurent la dissémination et influencent les capacités germinatives des semences, d’où le rôle crucial des pratiques agropastorales dans les traits de régénération des agroécosystèmes.

Mangroves are precious ecosystems that provide vital socio-economic, environmental and cultural benefits to humanity. However, they are declining alarmingly due to human activities and natural hazards. Assessment of their spatio-temporal dynamics is essential to monitor these ecosystems and guide their management to ensure sustainability. We assessed the spatio-temporal dynamics of mangroves and predicted their future trends using remote sensing techniques and Markovian chain analysis. Landsat images TM/ETM+ (for 1988, 2001 and 2019) were obtained, processed, classified and analyzed using remote sensing techniques and GIS. The changes observed during these periods (1988–2001, 2001-2019 and 1988–2019) were used to predict future trends up to 2050, using Markovian chain analysis. The results showed that the mangrove area studied, which occupied 5205.24 ha in 1988, declined by 62.07% between 1988 and 2001 but increased by 18.84% from 2001 to 2019. This increase is attributed to strengthened mangrove restoration efforts. The mangroves had mainly been converted into grassland (52.35% in 1988-2001 and 7.31% in 2001-2019) and other vegetation types (17.57% in 1988-2001 and 27.05% in 2001-2019). Their decline was most severe in the municipalities of Abomey-Calavi and Ouidah, which therefore require greater conservation efforts. Our projection based on Markovian chain analysis suggests that these mangroves will continue to decline, but slowly. This study provides essential information to guide future mangrove conservation action in the study area.

Published: January 2022

The article deals with the peculiarities of the markup of scientific and technical texts in developing a corpus of highly specialized texts. The scientific and technical texts as sources of filling the corpus are listed. The scientific and technical texts are analyzed from the position of markup of textual elements of different levels. The necessity of introducing interlevel types of markup of scientific and technical texts is substantiated. The significance of introducing structural markup when creating a corpus of scientific and technical texts is emphasized. The structural elements of scientific and technical texts for filling the corpus are listed. The current state of the problem of automatic extraction of terms from scientific and technical texts is analyzed. It is shown that the greatest difficulty is the marking of multicomponent terminological units in the corpus of scientific and technical texts. We identify literary terms as objects that require the development of additional tools for their processing, which may include various letters, symbols, numbers or their combinations. References as a factor influencing the classification and rubrication of scientific and technical texts are analyzed. The necessity of studying the types of references, as well as the ways of their automatic marking in the corpus of scientific and technical texts is substantiated. The necessity of introducing a separate marking of examples in scientific and technical texts is substantiated.

Published: January 2022

The study is devoted to the study of a person in the aspect of the anthropocentric paradigm. The purpose of the study is determined by the description of male nicknames, given by name and surname in the dialect of the village of Vysoky Talovsky district of the Voronezh region, clarification of their meaning, metaphor names with associative links, determination of expressive-stylistic coloring, part of speech, ways of forming words. The subject of the study was the unofficial names of men and their reflection in folk speech. The object is the South Russian dialect. The linguistic material is the dialectal speech of older representatives, recorded by the author of the article in the process of direct communication. The work used the following methods: survey and interviewing, stationary observation, analysis, description and comparison. The research results are reflected in 90 anthroponyms that make up the village name list. In it, some street names act as metaphors and are associated with representatives of the animal world, birds, and objects of the surrounding reality. The expressive coloration of anthroponyms speaks of a different linguistic palette, from tenderness to rudeness. The illustration of the data obtained by means of the Russian dialect revealed the functioning of different ways of forming nicknames, among which the suffix and shortening of the surname are productive. The established tradition of communication between people in a rural environment is a convenient and stable structure over time. It became part of the local dialect system. The material is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
V. Shalamov's texts in the works of I. Brodsky
Authors:   Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University, Shuneyko Alexander A. , Chibisova Olga V.
Published: January 2022

The names of I. Brodsky and V. Shalamov, for various reasons, quite often turn out to be side by side in the talks about the general features of 20th century poetry, in the enumeration of its significant representatives and in the attempts to comprehend its dominant themes and directions. At the same time, the question of possible intertextual connections in general has not yet been raised. The subject of this research is the interaction of poetic worlds and poetic languages of V. Shalamov and I. Brodsky. The purpose of the work is to identify specific linguistic lexical and thematic facts that can be perceived as a manifestation of poetic dialogue, transmission of poetic experience and expressions of poetic solidarity, recorded in literary texts. To achieve this goal, semantic, stylistic and communicative analyses were selected. Taken together, they made it possible to establish facts of undoubted continuity in the massifs of the two poets’ work. As a result, the following can be stated. The fleeting personal contact between V. Shalamov and I. Brodsky did not have that essential meaning which is found in their poetic texts. It can be stated with precision that I. Brodsky’s poetic heritage contains at least three significant verbally expressed references to V. Shalamov’s works. They are recorded in the texts “Tikhotvoreniye moye, moye nemoye …”, “Predstavleniye” and “Osenniy krik yastreba”. All this indicates a direct aesthetic, ideological and linguistic continuity, which is expressed in direct repetitions or the development of topics that are relevant for V. Shalamov.
Doctor Dorn against the writer Maupassant (On intertextual subtext of Chekhov’s “The Seagull”)
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kibalnik Serguei A.
Published: January 2022

Researchers hesitate in the interpretation of the hero of Chekhov’s The Seagull Dr. Dorn, seeing in him either a spokesman for the author’s position, or a “hidden trickster”. Meanwhile, if we say that Dorn embodies in the play the author’s critical attitude towards all its heroes, then both of these positions can be combined into one. The fact that Chekhov “objectified in faces” some of Maupassant’s judgments was justly noted. In fact, almost all the heroes embody certain ideas about a person, embodied in Maupassant’s travel “diary” Sur l’eau and in his latest novels. It is indeed no coincidence that Chekhov was called the “Russian Maupassant”. In The Seagull the Russian writer, on the one hand, openly admitted for the first time that in his works there really is not so little of Maupassant, and on the other hand, he subtly showed that he is “not Maupassant” — “he is different”. And what exactly is this “other”. Chekhov expresses this mainly through the image of Dorn. However, it becomes clear to the reader only if the peculiar intertextual subtext of this Chekhov play is read. The significant intertextual connections between The Seagull and Maupassant’s prose demonstrated in the article make it possible to reveal the presence of special “meanings of intertextuality” in the play. The significant intertextual connections between The Seagull and Maupassant’s prose demonstrated in the article make it possible to reveal the presence of special “meanings of intertextuality” in the play.
“World responsiveness” and cultural memory in the poetry of Andrey Golov
Authors:   Moscow Polytechnic University, Gerasimova Svetlana V.
Published: January 2022

Poetry is an area of reflection of folk character and mentality, in which two polar properties are noted. F. Dostoevsky spoke about one property, calling it “universal responsiveness”. The other one was realized by St. Alexander Nevsky, who remained faithful to native path. The individual can be isomorphic to the whole of the semiotic system of the culture. Universal responsiveness and loyalty to the native tradition are intertwined in the work of Andrei Golov. The article focuses on “universal responsiveness”.

Published: January 2022

This article will discuss the covid-19 pandemic has become one of the most serious problems in holding the 2020 simultaneous regional elections. These conditions have the potential to reduce voter turnout, therefore the strategy to increase public participation needs to be implemented even more strongly. In the 2020 simultaneous regional elections, the KPU has set a national voter turnout target of 77.5%. As an effort to achieve this target, the KPU has implemented a strategy to increase public participation as voters. Qualitative methods are used in this article, and data collection techniques are used through interviews with Head of the Technical and Public Relation Subdivision of the General Election Commissin of Central Java, Dimas Dwihangga Narotama, S.IP and documentation. The results and discussion revealed that the KPU implemented a strategy of maximizing socialization through social and virtual media by holding webinars. However, in-person or face-to-face socialization is still carried out by reducing the number of activities and participants and still paying attention to health protocols. The implementation of strategies through social media or online is more dominant in efforts to increase community participation carried out by each Regency / City KPU in Central Java in the 2020 simultaneous regional elections.
Faktor-Faktor Kemenangan Ridwan Kamil dan Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Dalam Pilkada Jawa Barat Tahun 2018
Authors: Dewi Gina Yuliana , Erowati Dewi
Published: January 2022

In the 2018 West Java regional elections competition, four pairs of candidates appeared as candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor. The new candidates for the 2018 West Java Governor elections candidacy, namely the pair Ridwan Kamil and Uu Ruzhanul Ulum, came out as winners in the West Java Governor elections constellation. This pair was able to defeat the incumbent in the people's democratic party. The problem that underlies this research is how new candidates can beat incumbents and candidates promoted by the winning party in the West Java legislative election. Based on these problems, it becomes interesting to study because new candidates can get a winning seat. Of course, victory is achieved through careful preparation and the strategies used by their winning team. Also, there were some factors that influenced Ridwan Kamil and Uu Ruzhanul Ulum's victories. This paper aims to determine what factors influence the victory of the pair who also managed to beat the incumbent and the winning party in the legislative elections in West Java. This research uses qualitative research methods, with data collection through interviews and documentation techniques. Through the research method used, we can see what factors influence the victory of this candidate pair. Sources in this study were representatives of the West Java NasDem Regional Leadership Council team, former Ridwan Kamil's vision and mission drafting team, volunteers, and the voting community. The results showed that the victory was not obtained from the number of votes of parties supporting the legislative elections and incumbent factors, but some factors influenced the victory. First, the popularity factor of Ridwan Kamil, who is a young, creative, visionary and innovative figure. This factor was chosen by millennial groups and rational voters in West Java. Second, the political machine factor because in order to get a ticket to go to the regional elections, the candidates who run are generally supported by the strength of the coalition of supporting parties that are joined behind them and the strategies used by the winning party team. Third, volunteering also makes a major contribution to increasing the voice. Fourth, community participation is the determinant of victory because in the 2018 West Java regional elections, community participation increased significantly compared to the previous regional elections. Fifth, modalities which include political capital, social capital, and cultural capital. The political capital owned by the pair Ridwan Kamil and Uu Ruzhanul Ulum in the West Java Pilkada include the strength and network of political party coalitions, social capital that covers Ridwan Kamil's urban base, Ridwan Kamil's closeness to the news media, and the character of Uu Ruzhanul Ulum who has a mass base in the pesantren. The last is the cultural capital of Ridwan Kamil, such as his education, figures of Muslim descent and ethnicity from Sundanese origin and Uu who is a Muslim leader of kyai descent.
DOES THE RISE OF ISLAMIC CONSERVATISM THREATEN INDONESIAN DEMOCRACY?
Authors: Tanashur Panji
Published: January 2022

the rise of Islamist narrative and agenda is found in the political parties categorized as Indonesian secular parties. None of them is an Islamist party, but the Islamist narratives seem prevalent. The role of ormass in vernacularizing seems significant since the Islamist interest was discovered as the policy product and a trend in Indonesian Muslims, especially the millennials. Seeing the proliferation, the political party might compromise with the broader market of the constituency. Meanwhile, the assumption that NU and Muhammadiyah as the antidotes of Islamic radicalism might not a hundred percent correct since they show a weakening of their influence within their members. It can be seen from the neglect of the fatwas issued, advice, and their prohibitions by both NU and Muhammadiyah member. Besides, the presence of the MUI, which is fully supported by the government in issuing fatwas, has actually created controversy because the fatwa issued was mostly accommodated by the Islamist Agenda. This condition is reinforced by the membership recruitment system as well as applying the equal quota system even some of them are from NU and Muhammadiyah that possess the most significant mass base. The recruitment system certainly makes it easier for extremists to control and dominate the membership of MUI. Some moderate Islamic scholars who criticized the action of defending Islam reaped ridicule and bullies from the demonstrators. On the other hand, they continue to appraise Rizieq Syihab as a central figure in the Islamic defense action. The descriptions above illustrate that the dominance of Islamic radicalism in Indonesia, which I consider a threat to the progress of Indonesian Democracy. The above claims were revealed after some comprehensive research through the data that were collected from some related literature, magazines, jounals, and other sources. The data is analysed from the phenomenon happened which were compared to the current reality in some places which can be confirm through the electronic or non-electronic media. These are the claims from the writers which need further analysis.

Published: January 2022

[Purpose] In this study, we investigated whether a 70% ethanolic (EtOH) extract of Sargassum horneri had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells.[Methods] The proximate composition, fatty acids, amino acids, and dietary fiber of S. horneri, various biologically active compounds, and antioxidant activity were analyzed.[Results] The DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities, as well as the reduction power, of the S. horneri extract used here were significantly increased in a concentration-dependent manner. This indicates that S. horneri contains bioactive compounds, such as phenols and flavonoids, that have excellent antioxidant activity. The cellular viability and metabolic activity results confirmed that the extract had no discernible toxicity at concentrations up to 100 μg/mL. The levels of nitrites and cytokines (PGE2, TNF-α and IL-6), which mediate pro-inflammatory effect, were significantly inhibited by treatment with either 50 or 100 μg/mL S. horneri extract, whereas that of IL-1β was significantly inhibited by treatment with 100 μg/mL of the extract. Similarly, the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins also decreased according to 50 or 100 μg/mL extract concentrations. NF-κB binding to DNA was also significantly inhibited by treatment with 100 μg/mL of extract.[Conclusion] These results suggest that 70% EtOH extracts of S. horneri can relieve inflammation caused by disease or high intensity exercise.
Sarcopenia in the setting of nonalcoholic fatty liver

Published: January 2022

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is a worldwide common problem with more prevalence in non-Asian populations that is closely correlated with the muscle-related disorder sarcopenia. The incidence of both health issues has been observed to be strongly interlinked where presence of one exacerbates the other. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) pathophysiology increases the muscle loss, while the onset of NAFLD in sarcopenic patients aggravates the liver problems as compared to non-sarcopenic patients. Scarcity of research on the subject provides very little evidence about the cause and effect of disorders. No FDA approved drugs are available to date for NAFLD and sarcopenia. Research is underway to understand the complex biochemical pathways involved in the development of both disorders. This review is a small contribution toward understanding sarcopenia in the setting of NAFLD that provides insight on the common pathophysiological profile of sarcopenia and NAFLD and portrays a novel way of delving into the subject by introducing the concept of cortisol crosstalk with the muscle-liver axis. Sarcopenia and NAFLD are considered metabolism-related problems, and cortisol, being a glucocorticoid, plays an important role in metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by abnormally elevated concentrations of blood cortisol/enhanced intracellular activity, shares many pathologic conditions (such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, abnormal levels of specific cytokines, and obesity) with NAFLD and sarcopenia. Hence, cortisol can be a potential biomarker in sarcopenia and NAFLD. As cortisol activity at cellular level is controlled by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 and 2 (11β-HSD1/2) enzymes that convert inactive steroid precursor into active cortisol, these enzymes can be targeted for the study of sarcopenia and NAFLD. Combined studies on NAFLD and sarcopenia with respect to cortisol open a new avenue of research in the understanding of both disorders.

Knowledge regarding the influence of the microbial community in cancer promotion or protection has expanded even more through the study of bacterial metabolic products and how they can modulate cancer risk, which represents an extremely challenging approach for the relationship between intestinal microbiota and colorectal cancer (CRC). This review discusses research pro-gresses in the effect of bacterial dysbiosis from a metabolic point of view, particularly on the bio-chemical mechanisms of butyrate, one of the main short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) with an-ti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties in CRC. Increased daily intake of omega-3 polyun-saturated fatty acids (PUFAs) significantly increases the density of bacteria that are known to produce butyrate. Omega-3 PUFAs have been proposed as a treatment to prevent gut microbiota dysregulation and lower the risk or progression of CRC.

he aim of this study, conducted under identical environmental conditions and the stanchion barn housing system, was to compare milking performance traits and somatic cell count in milk of daughters sired by Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White bulls from various origin groups. Cows were divided into three groups depending on the region of sire's origin, i.e. Polish bulls, bulls from other European countries (the Czech Republic, France and Germany) and bulls from the USA. Analyses were conducted applying the following experimental conditions: the age group of cows (primiparous vs. multiparous), stage of lactation (≤ 40 days, from 41 to 100 days, from 101 to 200 days and > 200 days) and season of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter). Results of this study indicate that at the stanchion barn housing system of dairy cows in order to increase milk yields the use of semen from bulls of imported Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White bulls seems to be beneficial. However, daughters of US bulls may be prone to elevated somatic cell counts in milk. In turn, cows sired by Polish bulls can be characterised by favourable milk solids contents.

The aim of the study was to analyze the body weight of different color varieties of breeding mink and to assess the relationship between the body weight of females and the reproductive indexes obtained. The research material consisted of 3499 one-year-old American mink females of five color varieties: White Regal, Standard Black, Pearl, Silverblue and Black Cross. Six body-weight ranges of female mink were distinguished. The following were analyzed within each range: pregnancy length, fertility, average number of kits born in a litter, average number of kits born alive in a litter. It was also examined whether there was a relationship between the color variety and the average body weight of females attained during the pre-mating body condition adjustment. There were statistically significant differences in the body weight of the analyzed color varieties of mink. It was also found that the body weight of females obtained in the period of breeding preparation influences the resulting reproductive performance. Higher body weight positively influences fertility, while animals of an average body weight produce larger litters of kits.

In response to the configuration of the Andean integration process in the Colombian State, through this manuscript we wanted to contextualize the role of Andean Community Law in the Colombian legal system, taking into account that although the 1991 Political Charter provides for the possibility for the Colombian State to configure integration processes and as a result, the obligation to submit to the corresponding Community Law, this submission is not evidenced in the framework of the Andean Law of Integration or Community Law. Thus, following the theoretical research method and under a qualitative approach, the legal nature of the Andean Community Law system itself is described, trying to explain some proposals so that Colombian Internal Law can be coupled with the Andean Law of Integration or Community Law.

The so-called left turn, in the first decade of the 21st century in the Latin American area, restructured the populist discourses in the political map of this region. Mexico arrived late to the left-wing populist wave, since it happened until the democratic rise of the political party MORENA and its leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who takes office in 2018 in a context where the right is strengthening in Latin America. From an analysis of the discourses of the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in the period 2018-2020, we observe the conditions of possibility of the construction of a popular-national discourse, which seeks to articulate, in an hegemonic way, a new way to make politics with his discourse of rejection and criticism of the «corrupt political elite» and the neoliberal ideology in Mexico. Taking as a frame of reference the concepts of the “national-popular” of Gramsci (1986), and Portantiero and De Ípola (1981) and the “populist discourse” of Laclau (2010), we present a first advance of our research, pointing out that the national-popular is the distinctive feature of the populist discourse of the President of Mexico, through which he configures his political project named by himself “the Fourth Transformation of Mexico”.

Every company must always strive for all employees to work effectively, efficiently and productively so that they can achieve the company's vision. Like employees in general, programmers need to be measured for their performance and productivity so that the company does not lose out on paying them. On the other hand, a lot of tasks also confuse programmers if they get piled up and go unrecorded. Therefore, the authors make research on information systems for recording and measuring the performance of web-based programmers (case study: PT. Bits Miliartha). The research method used is a qualitative method by means of observation and interviews. The results obtained from this study is an information system that is devoted to recording programmer tasks and efficiently helping companies to assess programmer performance.

Design and Build Smart Aquascape Based on PH and TDS With IoT System Using Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Fikri Muhammad , Musthafa Aziz , Pradhana Faishal Reza
Published: January 2022

Acid (pH) and Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) are the two most important factors of the many parameters that must be considered to maintain water quality in Aquascape. A good normal pH for plant life in Aquascape is 6.8 and a good TDS for water in aquascape is below 150 ppm. This study aims to design an IOT system to maintain the pH and TDS of water in aquascapes. In this study using the fuzzy method as a controller and determinant of the added value of acid or wet water in the aquascape. The pH set in this system is between 6.5-7.3. This system maintains the pH by adding alkaline or acidic water into the aquascape, so that the pH of the water in the aquascape is at a predetermined safe limit. the TDS system will drain the water in the aquascape, and add water with a lower TDS level. By calculating how many additions are right to keep the TDS of water in the aquascape at 150ppm. The result of this research is a system design that is able to control the pH and TDS of water in Aquascape.

Published: January 2022

Abortion is categorized as the termination of conception caused by the failure or removal of the embryo from the uterus before the conclusion of pregnancy. Microorganisms and genetic factors are two of the many factors associated with abortion. Cytomegalovirus is a widespread congenital virus infection pathogen that affects a wide variety of people. The prothrombin gene is one of the essential causes that trigger blood clotting and the function of abortion women, therefore the aim of the study is to detect and associate Cytomegalovirus and prothrombin gene mutation (Gene ID: 14061 in NCBI) with abortion through genetic and immunological methods. Five ml of whole blood was collected from an intravenous puncture and divided into two tubes, one with EDTA and one without (plain tube) from 74 women with an abortion history as a patient group and 74 women without an abortion record who had at least one successful fertility as a control group. Allele-specific PCRs are used to amplify gene regions with genetic primers containing prothrombin gene polymorphisms. Current results have shown the greatest risk of abortion was observed in women patients with IgG seropositivity in 65 women with frequency (87.8%) and the lowest rate of abortion was in IgM seropositivity in 3 women with frequency (4.1%) and 6 (8.1%) were positive for IgM-and IgG indicating they have both an old and recent infections. Furthermore, allele-specific PCRs are used to amplify prothrombin G20201A polymorphism. The result of this study demonstrated there is no association between prothrombin genotype level frequency and abortion in CMV-infected women. While, there is a highly significant association between A and G Alleles combinations and abortion in CMV-infected women.
