Authors: Menares Romina
Published: August 2020

En este artículo presentamos diferentes maneras de enfrentar un problema de cálculo por parte de profesores de secundaria en ejercicio en el sistema escolar chileno. Nuestro objetivo es indagar en procesos de visualización, distintos instrumentos utilizados y argumentos que profesores despliegan al resolver o dar respuesta a un problema. Además, buscamos conocer cuáles son los argumentos que los profesores validan dentro del desarrollo de problemas que demandan procesos argumentativos, tanto en su propio trabajo con el problema, como el posible trabajo en el aula. La investigación es cualitativa y se realiza bajo la perspectiva teórica de los Espacios de Trabajo Matemático (ETM). El estudio nos permite evidenciar diferentes recursos utilizados por los profesores para la resolución del problema, reconocer los discursos matemáticamente aceptados por los docentes, y observar qué significa para el grupo de profesores la justificación de un conocimiento matemático.

A influência do plurilinguismo na L1 – ou por que o padrão monolíngue já não se aplica
Authors: Grilli Marina
Published: August 2020

Esta palestra apresenta razões pelas quais deveríamos descartar dicotomias tradicionais na pesquisa em Linguística, como monolíngue versus plurilíngue, nativo versus não-nativo, inato versus aprendido, fatores biológicos versus culturais. Argumenta-se que, em vez disso, deveríamos entender o plurilinguismo como um continuum, indo do menos plurilíngue ao mais plurilíngue. A razão para tanto é que o monolinguismo tem se tornado cada vez mais raro, pois cada vez mais pessoas aprender outras línguas ou são simplesmente expostas ao multilinguismo em sociedade. Consequentemente, o plurilinguismo é considerado aqui de modo amplo, enquanto sinônimo da capacidade de lidar com mais de uma língua em qualquer idade, e não apenas desde o nascimento. A conferencista conclui, novamente, que não faz sentido tomar o falante nativo como modelo a ser seguido pelo aprendiz de uma língua.
Daily Winners and Losers in the Korean Stock Market
Authors: Kang Jangkoo , Yun Jaesun
Published: August 2020

In their working paper, Kumar, Ruenzi, and Ungeheuer (KRU) document that stocks ranked as daily winners or losers in the previous month underperform unranked stocks during the month after the ranking. KRU explain that the ranked stocks experience a large increase in investor attention, which leads to temporary overpricing and subsequent underperformance. Following KRU, we investigate whether the same effect exists in the Korean stock market and find a robust daily winners and losers effect. First, stocks that were both daily winners and losers in a given month underperform those that were neither daily winners nor losers during the following months. Second, stocks that were never a daily winner or loser during the previous month do not exhibit the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle or the MAX effect. Moreover, the underperformance of ranked stocks is robust after controlling for the idiosyncratic volatility and the MAX effect. We suggest that the overpricing caused by excessive attention to daily winners and losers may be the main driver of the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle and the MAX effect. Lastly, we find that retail investors buy daily winners and losers, while both institutional investors and foreign investors decrease trades in the ranked stocks.
Sociedade cooperativa: paradigma de participação no mercado concorrencial
Authors: Miranda José Eduardo , Lima Andréa Corrêa
Published: August 2020

o presente trabalho demonstra que a sociedade cooperativa é um ente jurídico dotado de empresarialidade, cuja estrutura axiológica serve de modelo aos sujeitos que titularizam o exercício das diferentes atividades que se desenvolvem no âmbito do mercado concorrencial. Utilizam-se as prerrogativas do Código Civil para diferenciarem-se as atividades empresariais das não empresariais. Independente daclassificação societária editada pelo vigente Código Civil, a sociedade cooperativa supera o perfil de sociedade simples, absorve o aspecto de entidade empresarial e se mostra como sujeito exercente das atividades de mercado, na condição de empresário. Tendo em vista que o propósito maior da cooperação é permitir a transformaçãointegral do Homem, a sociedade cooperativa, já como titular do exercício da empresa, revela-se como paradigma a ser seguido.

Is Cancer Immunotherapy More Hype Than Hope?
Authors: Lesmana Ronny , Hadi Edward J , Goenawan Hanna
Published: August 2020

The immunosurveillance system in the human body can detect and eradicate abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can avoid immune destruction by exploiting the immunosuppression system. Extensive research has been done to find therapeutic agents that could reverse this condition.  Novel drugs called checkpoint inhibitors have been developed and showed a promising result. Besides, “living’’ drug, an engineered T-cells which can accurately target cancer cells, has increased public attention in immunotherapy. These immunotherapies might bring a new era of cancer management, a highly effective and specific treatment with fewer adverse effects.

Published: August 2020

The article provides a comparative analysis of tax revenues of individuals and legal entities in the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that taxes paid by individuals occupy one of the leading places along with such taxes as corporate income tax, VAT and other taxes and fees. In the course of studying the structure of property tax receipts of individuals in the context of the federal districts of the Russian Federation, the factors influencing regional differences in their payment were identified. Despite the established positive dynamics of tax revenues from individuals, the main problems that taxpayers face when paying transport, land tax and property tax of individuals were identified. The article proposes directions for improving the taxation of individuals on the territory of the Russian Federation in order to increase the efficiency of their calculation and collection.
Knowledge, attitudes and practices of UK paramedics regarding pharmacology and the legal, management and administration aspects of medicines: a cross-sectional online quantitative survey
Authors: Laws Samantha , Wang Chao , Halter Mary
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Changes in the paramedic profession have seen an increased range of medicines available within UK ambulances services. However, poor practice in medicines management has been identified by the Care Quality Commission. Literature in this area is sparse. This study
aimed to determine the perceived knowledge, attitudes and practices of paramedics regarding pharmacology and the legal and regulatory issues of medicines management and administration.Methods: The study utilised a cross-sectional survey design, administering an anonymous online
survey to all (approximately 1000) paramedics within one UK NHS ambulance trust. The survey focused on paramedic knowledge on pharmacology, legal supply and administration; self-assessment of knowledge and confidence related to medicine management and administration; and personal characteristics.
The primary outcome was percentage of (pre-determined) correct answers.Results: 251 responses were received. The mean percentage of correct answers was 79.0% (SD 10.0), with variation by question observed, from 34.7 to 97.2% correct responses. A higher correct knowledge was associated
with: higher self-rated confidence, lower self-reported knowledge, being less likely to report errors and higher education-based initial route into the paramedic profession.Conclusion: This single-site UK-based survey highlighted variation in medicines knowledge among self-selecting
paramedic respondents. The results indicate a need for medicines-specific further education for all paramedics, particularly those who have not experienced longer formal education entry routes, integrating a focus on confidence and self-perceived knowledge, and enhancing and embedding integrated
improvement strategies. Further research is required with larger, multi-site samples, and to evaluate the impact of education packages developed.
A two-armed, randomised, controlled exploratory study of adding the AmbuGard cleaning system to normal deep-cleaning procedures in a regional ambulance service
Authors: McClelland Graham , Charlton Karl , Mains Jacqueline , Millican Karen , Cullerton Caroline
Published: August 2020

Background: Ambulance services transport patients with infections and diseases, and could pose a cross-transmission risk to patients and staff through environmental contamination. The literature suggests that environmental pathogens are present in ambulances, cleaning is inconsistent
and patient/staff impact is difficult to quantify. Eco-Mist developed a dry misting decontamination system for ambulance use called AmbuGard, which works in < 30 minutes and is 99.9999% effective against common pathogens. The research question is: ‘What pathogens are present in North
East Ambulance Service ambulances and what impact does adding AmbuGard to the deep-cleaning process make?’.Methods: A two-armed, randomised controlled trial enrolled 14 ambulances during their regular 24-week deep clean, which were 1:1 randomised to deep cleaning (control
arm) or deep cleaning plus AmbuGard (intervention arm). Polywipe swabs were taken before and after cleaning from five locations selected for high rates of contact (steering wheel, shelf, side-door grab rail, patient seat armrest, rear door handle/grab rail). Microbiology culture methods identified
the presence and amount of bacterial organisms present, including the selected pathogens: Enterococcus spp.; Enterobacter spp.; Klebsiella spp.; Staphylococcus aureus; Acinetobacter spp.; Pseudomonas spp.; Clostridium difficile; coagulase-negative
staphylococci (CoNS). The researcher taking the swabs and the laboratory were blinded to the trial arm.Results: Pathogens of interest were found in 10 (71%) vehicles. CoNS were found in all vehicles. Pathogens were found on all locations swabbed. Normal deep cleaning was effective
at eliminating pathogens and the addition of AmbuGard showed no obvious improvement in effectiveness.Conclusion: Pathogens associated with healthcare-acquired infections were found throughout all ambulances. Normal deep cleaning was effective, and adding AmbuGard showed no obvious
improvement. This was a small study at a single point in time. Further research is needed into temporal trends, how to reduce pathogens during normal clinical duties and patient/staff impact.
Re-contact rates with a UK ambulance service following paramedic referral to a falls prevention service for those aged ≥ 65 years: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Scott Jamie
Published: August 2020

Background: Falls in older populations constitute a large proportion of the workload for UK ambulance services, and cost the NHS over £2.3 billion per year. A large proportion of older fallers are not conveyed to an emergency department (ED), representing a vulnerable group
of patients. New pathways have been developed for paramedics to refer this group directly to falls prevention services.Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the re-contact rates and characteristics of service users aged ≥ 65 years who fell and were referred to a falls prevention
service by paramedics, and to describe the characteristics of those who re-contacted the ambulance service after referral.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional cohort study was carried out in the geographical area covered by the South Eastern division of the Northern Ireland
Ambulance Service (NIAS) between 1 July and 30 September 2017. The primary outcome was the rate of subsequent contacts with the ambulance service following referral.Results: There were 1079 incidents of falls in service users aged ≥ 65 years. A referral rate of 7% (n = 75) was
reported, constituting the study cohort. Re-contact rates were 37.3% (n = 28) within 1 month and 70.7% (n = 53) within 6 months. Women and those exposed to a ‘long lie’ were more likely to re-contact, while those with cognitive impairment appeared particularly vulnerable to falls
and repeat falls. Repeat falls were common. Documentation by attending clinicians was generally poor.Conclusion: Future research should investigate the efficacy of paramedic referral to falls prevention services. Interventions targeted at reducing long lies and investigating optimal
interventions for those with cognitive impairments should also be explored. Improving clinical documentation will facilitate future research.

Published: August 2020

Difficulty consumption is the complaint of most parents when it comes to paediatricians. Difficult eating continuously results in decreased calorie intake needed so that it can affect the growth and development of children. Acupressure can be a non-pharmacological therapy choice for increasing a child's appetite. Acupressure is a form of physiotherapy by providing massage and stimulation at specific points on the body.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acupressure therapy to increase appetite in infants aged 1-5 years. In this study used pre-experimental design with one group pre post-test approach. The variables in this study were acupressure therapy and appetite. Respondents are children aged 1 to 5 years. The treatment is acupressure therapy six times (every three days).  The pretest is done before acupressure therapy with weight measurement and posttest weight measurement after surgery. Paired T Test tested analysis of the two data. The results of this study indicate a T-test correlation of 0.952 with a significance value of 0,000 where α = 5% = 0.005 so that 0,000 <0.005, which means that there is an influence of Tui Na acupressure on increasing toddlers' appetite based on weight gain.

EFFECT OF INJECTABLE COMBINATION ESTROGEN-PROGESTERON AND PROGESTERON-ONLY CONTRACEPTIVES ON GLUCOSE AND MALONDIALALDEHID SERUM
Authors: Prihati Dwi Retna , Paryono Paryono , Rohmawati Wiwin
Published: August 2020

Injectable hormonal contraception has been the most favorable contraception method in Indonesia in 2013 and its number reaches 4,128,115 acceptors (48.56%). The estrogen and progesterone contents in injectable contraception could cause stress, increased appetite, decreased leptin level and insulin resistance, eventually leading to increased blood glucose and serum malondialaldehyde levels. This study aims to observe the main effect of use of combined estrogen-progesteron and only progesteron injectable hormonal contraceptions on glucose level in blood and malondialaldehyde (MDA) level in serum. This is an experimental laboratory study. It uses Randomized pre-post test group research design for glucose level and randomized post test with control for malondialaldehyde level. The data are analyzed using Anova. The significance value is p<0.01. 28 samples are divided into 7 groups and each group consists of 4 samples, namely one control group and 6 treatment groups consisting of P1 combined dose 0.54 mg, P2 combined dose 1.08 mg, P3 combined dose 1.62 mg, P4 DMPA dose 2.7 mg, P5 DMPA dose 5.4 mg, P6 DMPA dose 8.1 mg.  Only DMPA contraception at 0.54 mg dose influences the blood glucose level increase by p = 0.00. Only DMPA contraception at 8.1 mg dose does not influence serum MDA level by p = 0.1. The conclusion is DMPA contraception has greater potential of causing blood glucose level increase than the combined contraception. Combined and DMPA contraceptions share the risk of increasing serum MDA level.

Authors: Akasyah Wildan
Published: August 2020

The negative stigma of people with mental disorder (ODGJ) has become a social phenomenon that harm sufferers. Discriminatory actions, gossip, the view that ODGJ cannot live normally, is an attitude that still maintains its negative stigma. The purpose of this study is to find a relationship between students 'and nurses' knowledge about mental health with the negative stigma that befalls ODGJ, Correlational design is used in this study. A cross-sectional research approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire, ie respondents' knowledge of ODGJ was measured by the MAKS questionnaire, and the stigma questionnaire for students and nurses (MICA). A total of 115 student and nurse respondents were sampled in this study. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. Statistical analysis using Spearman Rank correlation test. Correlation value obtained (r) 0.02 (p <0.05). The statistical results interpret the existence of a meaningful relationship between knowledge and the formation of stigma in society. There is a relationship associated with knowledge with the formation of stigma. The knowledge contributes greatly to the formation of a positive mindset of students and nurses about ODGJ (People with Mental Disorders). The role of nurses as educators is needed to block the increasing stigma. Continuity assistance and cross-sector collaboration are needed to succeed in a stigma-free program.

Published: August 2020

Patients with hemodialysis are required to carry out routine care, diet arrangements, and fluid restrictions. The highest non-compliance in patients is fluid restriction. Excessive fluid intake can be seen from weight gain between dialysis time (IDWG). IDWG in hemodialysis patients should not be more than 3.5%, where an increase in IDWG can cause the risk of death and decreased quality of life. However, at the hospital itself, routine identification of fluid restriction non-compliance activities was not carried out, so that there were still many patients with hemodialysis who experienced an increase in IDWG in the moderate and severe categories. The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics, fluid restriction compliance, IDWG, and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. This is done to plan the provision of further intervention in patients. The design in this study was cross-sectional with sampling techniques with simple random sampling. The results of the study characteristics of respondents at the age of 46-55 years (64.7%) more male sex (55.9%), and high school education (47.1%), all respondents were married (100%), most not working (58.8%), the average length of hemodialysis is 18 months. The mean mean liquid restriction compliance was 27.35, the mean value of IDWG was 4.97 and the mean value of quality of life was 51.72.
TRANSFER OF HUMAN HAIR EXOCUTICLES ONTO GLASS BY LIQUID CATALASE AND WHOLE BLOOD (REPORTING BLOOD CLUMPING FORMATION WHEN CONTACT WITH KERATIN AS POSSIBLE FACTOR IN ATHEROSCLEROSIS)
Authors: A. Abraham
Published: August 2020

The genesis of cardiovascular diseases, namely intra-arterial plaques formation leading to heart attacks, strokes and other vascular complication remains unanswered. To date there is accumulated evidence attributing antioxidant activity (toxic materials) of biochemical events in the human body as probable cause for the illness. Experts in the area of cardiovascular diseases have identified a lack of standardization in disease management; therefore, clinical trials comparing antioxidant agents (such as catalase) have been difficult to compare. Experts are also calling for new knowledge in relation to blood antioxidants physiology. Keratin is a chemical present in cellular structures in the body, also present in the human hair root and shaft. This manuscript presents a new finding, which is documentation of a binding capacity of catalase with keratin. Red blood cell   are the main carriers of the catalase present in the circulatory system; in this manuscript experiments are introduced in support of a hypothesis adding one additional factor in the genesis of atherosclerosis; which is the protein enzyme catalase ever present in erythrocytes reacting with the keratin present in human arteries via an unknown mechanism.

Acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis are one of common health problems of Libyans. [1] Acute cholecystitis or bile gallbladder stones are one of the major surgical problems in the Libyan population and account for many hospital admissions and surgical interventions. This study was done to estimate causes and risk factors of AC among general population of Benghazi city in Libya. Reflux of pancreatic secretions into the biliary duct due to a defect in motility of gallbladder or biliary tree or spastic episodes of Sphincter Oddi may cause injury to gallbladder mucosa and biliary tract which may precipitate acute cholecystitis. Pancreatic biliary reflux (PBR) therefore may cause such reflux of pancreatic juice into gallbladder and biliary tract. This problem is probably related to obesity, cardiovascular disorders (CVD), metabolic syndrome, and dietary habits. Studies on gallstone composition carried out a close link with dietary habits and ethnicity. The biliary composition has been demonstrated by many researches for several years. Gallstone formation is relatively increased with consumption of dietary fats, age and gender.2-3 Estimation of pancreatic amylase in gallbladder bile as well as in serum of patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) may be considered as a biomarker of PB reflux.

Composting is an important tool for recycling and proper disposal of organic waste. However, in small-scale composting, where total soil sealing and leachate collection is not carried out, elements such as P, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb may accumulate in soil. This study aimed to assess phosphorus and heavy metal contents in soils of areas used for small-scale food waste composting. In order to do this, we sampled soil depths of 0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30 and 30-40 cm of four areas with composting times of 16, 12, 7 and 1 year, in addition to four reference areas. All the study areas are located in the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina state, Brazil. We determined available P, Cu and Zn contents and total Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb contents in the soil samples. We found that the production of organic compost directly on the soil generally promoted increases in available P contents, which were above acceptable environmental limits, especially at the uppermost soil layers. Still, the presence of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb was not an environmental liability in the composting areas, as the contents found were below those recommended by legislation.

Published: August 2020

The Maasai pastoralist community resides in Simanjiro District, Manyara Region, Tanzania. As a pastoralist community they are largely dependent on rangelands as a source of forage for their livestock. However, plant invasions are threatening rangeland productivity, displacing valuable forage species, leading to a reduction in livestock populations. The noxious weed Parthenium hysterophorus has recently been established in Simanjiro District and may pose a significant threat to livelihoods if effective control strategies are not put in place. This study was therefore conducted to determine pastoralists’ understanding of P. hysterophorus in Simanjiro District, Tanzania. Semi-structured and open-ended questionnaires were used to collect information on, among others, the date of introduction, means of spread, area coverage, effects of P. hysterophorus on livestock health and management control for P. hysterophorus.  Pastoralists were unaware of when P. hysterophorus was introduced although they mentioned vehicles, people and livestock to be the main vectors of introduction and spread.  They confirmed that P. hysterophorus has little/some expanding its range since it was first noticed at the beginning of this decade.  Furthermore, most pastoralists were not aware of the effects of Parthenium weed in livestock although few reported it causing distasteful and less milk and diarrhoea after consuming the weed.  There were no major efforts in place to control Parthenium weed.  Therefore, efforts need to be made to motivate pastoralists through community awareness campaigns to impart knowledge on how to control P. hysterophorus to promote rangeland productivity. Also, community awareness the impacts of the weed on their livestock and human health.

This paper was designed to assess contribution of agro-ecosystem after intervention in improving agricultural resilience among farmers in White Nile State of Sudan.  The study was based on primary data collected from 200 farmers by a questionnaire. A stratified sampling method was followed to select 200 farmers. Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage Model of agricultural resilience consisted of two important dependent variables income from agriculture and adaptive capacity of the farmers against the changes in agro-ecosystem. farmers had many practices to adapt with change in agro-ecosystem. The results of analysing the model of agricultural resilience discovered males as more resilient than females. The factors age, years of experience and years of education were found to increase agricultural resilience of the farmers. Moreover, farmers of sesame and peanut were more adaptive to the change in agro-ecosystem than farmers of the sorghum. The study also revealed that farmers benefited significantly from Khor Abu Habil Water. Regarding to the local knowledge of the farmers in the study area there were natural predators helping in defeating insects, the results discovered that negative relationship between the conflicts in the study area and the income from agriculture. The more conflict existing in the area the less income from agriculture will be achieved.

Technology has changed our life and the way we work; however, technology has affected several methods of working in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME)s. Human Resource (HR) is one of the core components in businesses, and nowadays most businesses are using technology for daily basis tasks. However, it still is not used all over the world. In Kurdistan Region-Iraq (KRI), most of the SMEs still use the old way of working and follow the paper-based method for their daily basis tasks. According to a survey, more than seventy percent of SMEs in Kurdistan are not using software to manage human resource management tasks. However, some big companies are using HRMS; but even then, there is a lack of use of Cloud Technology. In this study, a model of the Enterprise Human Resource Management System (EHRMS) is proposed and implemented to solve the HR problems in this area using Cloud Technology. The proposed system consists of sixteen standard modules which used usually with famous HRM systems. The system has been developed by using several technologies such as CodeIgniter as a software framework. The system is launched and deployed on Amazon Web Service (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).

Modeling of Ozone Interactions with Various Air Pollutants and Meteorological Factors Using Jaya and Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) Algorithms
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Nurcan
Published: August 2020

Ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations and some meteorological parameters measured hourly have been analyzed to examine the interaction patters between O3 and NOx, CO, air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and air pressure by taking into account the diurnal variations of them at urban site (Akçaabat ) in Trabzon. Variations of O3 levels have been modeled via Jaya and Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithms considering the effects of certain parameters (NOx and CO concentration, air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and air pressure) called as the independent variables. The accuracy of Jaya and TLBO methods has been determined and these methods have been carried out with four different functions: quadratic, exponential, linear and power. Some statistical indices have been applied to evaluate the performance of these models. In conclusion, it is shown that Jaya and TLBO algorithms can be used in the optimization of the regression function coefficients in modelling some air pollutants interactions and the best-fit equation for each parameter is obtained from the quadratic function.

Published: August 2020

Soğutma sistemlerinde ilk yatırım ve işletme maliyetleri ısıtma sistemlerine göre daha yüksektir. Bu nedenle soğutma sistemlerinde yapılacak verimlilik çalışmaları ısıtma sistemlerine göre daha faydalı olacaktır. Kondenser üzerindeki sıcaklığın yüksek olması dış ortam koşullarına bağlı olarak ısısını yeteri kadar atamamasının bir göstergesidir. Isısını istenilen düzeyde atamayan soğutucu gaz ise tamamen sıvı hale dönüşmez. Bu da soğutma sisteminin verimini düşürür. Bu çalışmada klima iç ünitesinde oluşan yoğuşma suyunun dış üniteye (kondensere) aktarılmasının performans üzerinde olan etkisi deneysel olarak araştırılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, 9000 btu inverter split klimanın soğutma modunda çalışırken iç ünite eşanjörü üzerinde oluşan yoğuşma suyunun dış ünite eşanjörüne aktarılması sonucunda enerji tüketimi, ortama üfleme sıcaklığı, iç ünite emme sıcaklığı, dış ünite üfleme sıcaklığı, kompresör gaz çıkış basıncı, evaporatör gaz giriş ve çıkış basıncı üzerinde etkisi incelenmiştir. Dış ünite eşanjörünün üzerine aktarılan yoğuşma suyu soğutucu akışkanın yoğuşmasını kolaylaştırmış, harcanan elektrik sarfiyatında ve iç ünite üfleme sıcaklığında belli bir miktar düşüş sağlamıştır. Üfleme sıcaklığına bağlı olarak soğutulan mahalin sıcaklığında da belli bir miktar azalma görülmüştür. Sonuçlara göre azalma oranının dış ortamın nem ve sıcaklığına bağlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

At the moment, a lot of scientific research focused on the role of immune mechanisms in diabetic foot ulcers development and impaired healing. A 3D skin culture system as a relevant skin model may prove valuable in investigating these mechanisms and may be a useful tool to study interactions between different cell types such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and immune cells. The aim of our research was to study keratinocytes and fibroblasts viability in co-culture with immune factors of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) and patients with diabetes and chronic foot ulcers in a 3D skin culture system. In this study, the multilayer 3D immunocompetent model of human skin comprising keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and mononuclears in an agarose-fibronectin gel was used. The human immortalized keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT, and primary fibroblast cell culture isolated from skin samples of healthy man in abdominal surgery were used for the 3D system. For the experiment 20 % serum of 9 patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (without active inflammation signs), 9 diabetic type 2 patients and 9 healthy people, and mononuclears of the same groups of patients were used. 9 experimental series with 3 repeats were carried out. Mononuclears of patients with DM2 and DM2 and diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) had a greater inhibitory effect on fibroblasts, significantly inhibiting their proliferation to a level of 83.78 [79.03; 89.53] % vs 70.18 [66.38; 72.10] % vs 95.40 [91.75; 99.05] %, H = 21.259, p <0.001 – DM2, DFS, and the control group, respectively. There was no significant difference in the cytoinhibitory effect of mononuclears on keratinocytes between different groups: 96.40 [92.82; 100.50] % vs 93.61 [86.80; 97.10] % vs 92.87 [85.15; 95.25] %, H = 4.459, p = 0.108 – control, DM2 and DFS group, respectively. Adding serum to the culture system influenced significantly the viability of neither keratynocytes – 99.40 [95.35; 102.05]  % vs 98.60 [90.55; 100.40] % vs 94.79 [91.65; 98.16] %, H = 3.030, p = 0.220 nor of fibroblasts – 95.61 [92.39; 100.19] % vs 95.80 [88.99; 102.15] % vs 96.20 [99.69; 88.70] %, H = 0.353, p = 0.838, control, DM2 and DFS group, respectively. It was determined that the fibroblasts vialability significantly decreases after introducing mononuclears of patients with DM and patients with DM and chronic diabetic foot ulcers to the co-culture system. Adding serum of these patient groups to the culture system doesn’t influence significantly the viability of skin cells.
