Published: August 2022

Infertility is defined as a man in a reproductive age who cannot conceive despite having regular unprotected intercourse for one year. It accounts for 40-50% of infertility in humans. In this study, the patients were gathered in 4 groups: 1. group - Prednisolone group, 2. group - Levothyroxine group, 3. group - control group٫ 4. group - Levothyron and Prednisolone group. In group 1, the drug taken in patients who only received prednisolone and undergone ovulation induction had no significant effect on Anti-T and Anti-TPO. Biochemically, conceiving rate was 16% higher in this group. In group 2, patients were diagnosed with thyroid disease and were taking levothyroxine for a long time, and they continued to take the drug during ovulation induction. The patients in group 3 (control group) did not take any medication except ovulation induction. Significant decrease was observed in Anti and Anti-TPO values in group 4 (P = 0.037 and P = 0.015, respectively). The combined use of both drugs significantly decreased the biochemical pregnancy rates in this group.

Rheumatic heart disease is a late complication of valvular inflammation caused by rheumatic fever. Studies have shown that the differentiation of valvular interstitial cells (VIC) into fibroblasts plays an important role in valvular remodeling and fibrosis. Various strategies to minimize valvular fibrosis has increased recently. This study aims to analyze the effect of dexamethasone, olmesartan, and its combination in inhibiting TGF-β1-induced VIC differentiation into myofibroblast. In vitro laboratory experimental-posttest only control group design was conducted. Isolated VIC of Oryctolagus cuniculus was pretreated using 2,5 ng/mL of TGF-β1 and divided into groups of dexamethasone (0.1 uM/L), olmesartan (100 nmol/L), and its combination. Inhibition of myofibroblast differentiation was quantified by the expression of α-SMA levels detected by immunoﬂuorescence. Dexamethasone, olmesartan, and its combination administration were significantly reduced TGF-β1-induced VIC differentiation into myofibroblast expressed by α-SMA levels (dexamethasone 6823 ± 1735.3, olmesartan 6683.7 ± 2795.05). Combination of dexamethasone and olmesartan exhibit the most potent inhibition compared to control (5051.87 ± 1612.210 vs 22286.73 ± 2780.2; p < 0.000). In conclusion, dexamethasone, olmesartan, and the combination can significantly reduce the differentiation of VIC into myofibroblasts.

Published: August 2022

Application of organic matter (compost Sago Ela palm waste and Liquid Organic fertilizers (LOF)) to the soil could have major benefits, such as to improve the soil physical condition (soil structure, water retention), and soil chemical properties (binding and providing nutrients, increasing CEC). The purpose of this study are (1) to improve the soil chemical properties of Ultisols, and (2) to increase plant uptake of N, P, and K, and the growth and yield of corn (Zea mays L.). The research was conducted in the field, namely in Telaga Kodok Village, Leihitu Sub District, and Central Maluku District. The experiment was designed in a factorial, and arranged in a randomized completed block design (RCBD).  The first factor was the provision of compost Sago Ela palm waste (K) and the second factor was the provision of liquid fertilizer (C). The results showed that the compost combined with LOF could improve pH, Al-exchangeable, Total-N, P-available soil, Uptake-P, Uptake-K, and the dry weight of seed corn. While the treatment of sago Ela palm waste compost and LOF can independently raise the K-available soil, N-uptake, and affect corn’s plant growth (height and trunk diameter). The treatment doses of sago Ela palm waste compost of 60 Mg ha-1 and LOF of 20 mL L-1 solution can increase the exchangeable Al, Total-N, and P-available soil, respectively 0.56 cmol(+)kg-1, 0.21%, and 31.00 mg kg-1; also able to increase the uptake of P, K, and weight dry seed corn respectively 0.21% and 1.26%, and 121.33 g plant-1. The treatment doses of Sago Ela palm waste compost of 60 ton ha-1 and liquid organic fertilizer of 10 mL L-1 solution can increase the soil pH by 5.70.

Published: August 2022

Land-use change from the forest to others will affect the soil’s physicochemical properties. The research was conducted to identify soil physicochemical properties affected by land-use change in Sungai Batang, the east-south part of Maninjau caldera. The research used a survey method from which soil was sampled at four different types of land use (forest, bushland, mixed garden, and paddy soil) at 0-30 cm depth with three replicates. The results show that the soil in Sungai Batang was still developing. It was indicated by coarse soil texture (clay loam to sandy clay loam). Land-use change from the forest to other uses has altered some soil physicochemical properties. It increased soil bulk density and decreased total soil porosity, permeability rate, SOM content, and  total-N. However, there was an increase in  soil characteristics, especially soil P-availability, CEC, Ca-  and Na-exchangeable . While the soil pH  (H2O), K-and Mg-exchangeable stayed the same. In general, land use changed from forest to other use, mostly farming land degraded physicochemical characteristics of the soil derived from volcanic materials in Sungai Batang. That was mainly due to the decrease in SOM content.

В статье представлены результаты сравнительного анализа социальноэкономических, демографических характеристик городских и сельских пенсионеров, включая субъективные оценки уверенности в ближайшем будущем. Исходные данные представлены информацией Росстата и проекта «Российский мониторинг экономического положения и здоровья населения (RLMS-HSE)» за 2020 год. Сельских пенсионеров характеризует более низкий размер пенсии. Оплата труда работающих пенсионеров на селе также ниже, в результате и денежные душевые доходы в семьях с пенсионерами на селе почти на четверть ниже городских, что отражается в более высокой степени неуверенности в ближайших жизненных перспективах. Формирование политики активного долголетия российских пенсионеров, направленной на улучшение качества жизни граждан старшего поколения, предполагает выравнивание возможностей для жителей города и села. Необходима дифференциация пенсионной политики, учитывающая специфику занятости и условий жизни на селе, разработка мер для повышения уровня жизни сельских пенсионеров.

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of socio-economic, demographic characteristics of urban and rural pensioners, including subjective assessments of confidence in the near future. The initial data are presented by information from Rosstat and the project «Russian Monitoring of the economic situation and public Health (RLMS-HSE)» for 2020. Rural pensioners are characterized by a lower pension. The wages of working pensioners in rural areas are also lower, as a result, monetary per capita incomes in families with pensioners in rural areas are almost a quarter lower than urban ones, which is reflected in a higher degree of uncertainty in the immediate life prospects. The formation of a policy of active longevity of Russian pensioners, aimed at improving the quality of life of older citizens, involves equalizing opportunities for residents of the city and village. It is necessary to differentiate the pension policy, taking into account the specifics of employment and living conditions in rural areas, the development of measures to improve the standard of living of rural pensioners.

Atık malzemeler ile uygun kimyasal malzemelerin bir araya getirilmesi sonucu oluşan geopolimer, sunduğu birçok avantaj nedeniyle malzeme alanı için oldukça umut vericidir. Bu çalışmada, hafif geopolimer harçların mekanik özelliğini yansıtan basınç dayanım testi ile şekil değiştirme durumunu yansıtan rötre testi sonucunda elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analiz ve modelleme işlemleri genetik ekspresyon programlama (GEP) ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon (ÇDR) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hafif geopolimer harçların basınç dayanımı ve rötre değerlerine ulaşılması amacıyla sodyum hidroksit molaritesi, alkali/uçucu kül oranı, sodyum silikat/sodyum hidroksit oranı ve yaş girdi parametreleri dikkate alınarak oluşturulan GEP modelleri ile laboratuvar verilerine oldukça yakın sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Basınç dayanımı ve rötre parametreleri için hedef değerler ile tahmin değerleri arasındaki ilişkiyi gösteren korelasyon katsayıları sırasıyla 0.94 ve 0.97 olarak elde edilmiş olup, diğer istatiksel değerlendirmeler sayesinde de oluşturulan modelin uygunluğu desteklenmiştir.

O aquecimento global é um dos temas mais discutidos na atualidade pela sociedade, devido suas consequências para humanidade, e tem a seca como um de seus resultados. Diante disso, este artigo tem o objetivo de perceber o impacto da seca sobre o Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal na dimensão Saúde na região nordeste do Brasil, no período entre 2005 e 2016. Para alcançar o resultado, foi utilizado o recorte conceitual de seca, gasto público e desenvolvimento municipal. Na seara metodológica foi empregado o método quantitativo, por meio da estratégia do modelo econométrico em painel, composto pela variável dependente IFDM_SAUDE, seca como variável independente de interesse e gasto público, população e tempo como de controle. Para obtenção do indicador seca foi utilizado o método Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), desenvolvido por McKee, Doesken e Kleist (1993). Com isso, concluiu-se que seca, despesa pública e tempo foram significativos em nível de 95%, em relação ao índice de desenvolvimento municipal com impacto positivo e população com impacto negativo, evidenciando que à medida que existe um maior volume de gasto público em políticas de mitigação dos efeitos da seca, maior será o resultado do desenvolvimento municipal em saúde.
Tax Planning: Theory and Modeling

Published: August 2022

The majority of taxpayers, whether individuals or corporations, seek to reduce their tax burden or to benefit from a certain tax saving. In this sense, taxpayers resort to various legal or even illegal tax planning practices. In this article, we seek to deepen the understanding of the concept of tax planning and to offer, to the various readers, new theoretical and empirical indicators to understand the motivations behind fiscally aggressive behavior. Indeed, after presenting the theoretical framework of the notion of tax planning, we will discuss the main theoretical and empirical sources that have attempted to model and estimate the extent of tax planning. At the end of our review of the theoretical and empirical literature, we can argue that the deterrence theory, which has dominated the earlier literature on tax planning, is insufficient to explain fiscally aggressive behavior, and that the modeling of tax planning practices depends to a large extent on the context of the estimated study and on the interpretations of tax laws.

This study aims to analyze the causes of delays in decision-making within the company. Managers can identify several constraints in decision-making by using analytical tools. In this study, the device used to analyze the problem is root cause analysis. Root cause analysis is used to determine the initial cause of the issues. The method used in the root cause analysis is a fishbone diagram where the fishbone diagram can identify some of the problems that underlie the constraints in decision making. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by taking data from interviews and documentation. The results of this study can be seen in decision making four problems underlie the inhibition of decision making. The problem is the first decision-maker; namely, the company's management is not wholly a determinant in making decisions. The second problem is that the information presented as a guide for decision-making is inaccurate, not timely, and irrelevant. The third problem is the absence of software that processes data into information needed by company management. The last problem is the lack of integration between divisions, so the resulting information is out of sync. Root cause analysis and fishbone diagrams, that was possible to analyze in detail the causes of delays in decision making. In the end, management can find solutions to each of these problems. Management will search each problem for the root cause, and the answer that they will give will be right on target so that the hope to minimize the obstacles to decision making will be implemented.

Introduction: Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) is a disease of increasing prevalence, affecting children and adults, with progressive loss of quality of life. It has been reported that about 20 % of the entire human population undergoes a form of allergy. The prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis (AC) varies around the world, usually ranging from 15 to 40 %. In Japan, the prevalence of allergic diseases is the conjunctiva is estimated to be as high as 15% -20% of the population is on the rise. Objective: the present objective was to carry out a narrative and systematic review of the major clinical considerations of allergic conjunctivitis, as well as the main treatments, immunological aspects, and allergic conjunctivitis classification. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from May to June 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. Scientific articles from the last 20 years were selected. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument. The risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 512 articles were found, and 35 articles were included in the systematic review. Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) is an inflammation of the conjunctiva secondary to an immune response to foreign antigens, usually called allergens. This inflammation can be mediated or non-IgE and atopy could play a significant role in the outcome. These forms include seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis and atopic keratoconjunctivitis. Giant papillary conjunctivitis and contact or induced by dermatoconjunctivitis drugs are considered to be allergic conjunctivitis subtypes. Conclusion: It was concluded that allergic conjunctivitis is a frequent comorbid with many undiagnosed patients. Then, an additional specific questioning and a therapeutic challenge in suspected patients may help identify patients who may benefit from treatment of Allergic conjunctivitis.
