Toward a “Standard Model” of Early Language Learning
Authors: Kachergis George , Marchman Virginia A. , Frank Michael C.
Published: March 2021

A "standard model" is a theoretical framework that synthesizes observables into a quantitative consensus. Have we made progress towards this kind of synthesis for children’s early language learning? Many computational models of early vocabulary learning assume that individual words are learned through an accumulation of environmental input. This assumption is also implicit in empirical work that emphasizes links between language input and learning outcomes. However, models have typically focused on average performance, while empirical work has focused on variability. To model individual variability, we relate the tradition of research on accumulator models to Item-Response Theory models from psychometrics. This formal connection reveals that currently available datasets cannot allow us to fully test these models, illustrating a critical need for theory in shaping new data collection and in creating and testing an eventual "standard model."
Is an Engineering Project Management Degree Worth it? Developing Agile Digital Skills for Future Practice
Authors: Dacre Nicholas , Senyo PK , Reynolds David
Published: March 2021

Engineering managers are progressively tasked with leveraging digital technologies and innovations which have yet to be fully developed, to seek out opportunities and challenges in complex project contexts. However, there is a disparity between knowledge gained from engineering development programmes, and the rapidly changing landscape of modern project practice, which requires professionals to effectively engage and deploy relevant agile digital skills in practice. For example, complex engineering projects increasingly employ dynamic digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR / VR), 3D Printing, and Digital Twins, which require managers to quickly adapt to changing constraints through agile digital skills. Therefore, this paper seeks to focus on exploring the role of engineering project management programmes in developing knowledge and agile digital skills relevant for future project practice. Through an outline review of project management development programmes, this research paper suggests that their inherent value for engineering project managers, is largely dependent on a combination of applied research, engagement, and agile digital skills development for future practice.

Exploring Levels of Secondary School Students’ Knowledge: Global Warming, Acid Rain, and Ozone Layer Depletion
Authors: Cirit Didem Karakaya , Aydemir Selçuk
Published: March 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of secondary school students’ knowledge about three Global Environmental Problems: Global Warming, Acid Rain, and Ozone Layer Depletion. 638 7th grade (N=316) and 8th grade (N=322) students enrolled in five different secondary schools participated in this study. The survey method was used to determine the levels of students’ knowledge of three global environmental problems. In this study, drawings (separate for each topic) and open-ended questions specific to all three topics were used as data collection tools. The data obtained from drawings and open-ended questions were analyzed together and assessed based on three knowledge categories (informed view, transitional view, and naïve view). The results indicated that the levels of secondary school students’ knowledge about three global environmental problems were low. It was also found that they held various misconceptions and their knowledge levels on each topic were close to each other. The results of the Pearson Correlation indicated that there was a significant relationship between the levels of secondary school students’ knowledge about only GW and OLD, but a weak correlation. The results of MANOVA indicated that there was a significant difference in the mean scores of students’ knowledge of GW from 8th to 7th-grade students, while there was a significant difference in favor of 8th-grade students with respect to the topics of AR and OLD.
How and Why Fascism and Nazism Became the “Right”
Authors: Gindler Allen
Published: March 2021

The Left has been represented by various currents that have historically been very aggressive toward each other because they used different tactics and strategies to achieve socialism. Like many intellectuals, revolutionary leftists did not get along with each other very often. Since the inception of Marxism, which is the doctrine of communism—an extreme and distinctive flavor of socialism—the far Left has portrayed adherents of less revolutionary ideologies as enemies of the working people. The followers of evolutionary socialism—the Social Democrats—were accused by the communists of betraying the proletariat. Non-Marxist currents of socialism, such as Fascism and National Socialism, were excluded from the socialist camp and put on the right wing by Marxist-Leninist propaganda. Stalinist political science became a benchmark that set markers to distinguish between the genuine Left and the Right. This article shows the origin and historical background of the artificial shift of Fascism and National Socialism to the right side of the political spectrum.

Authors: Özdemir Ali , Çakır Lütfü
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this study is to develop performance indicators in line with these goals and objectives in the light of domestic and foreign literature by examining the strategic goals and objectives in the strategic plans of public universities in Turkey. Within the scope of the research, firstly strategic plans of many universities operating at home and abroad were examined and a performance indicator pool consisting of 300 criteria was created in the light of the strategic plans of 11 different universities selected by purposeful sampling. Also Reports of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and Ministry of Development on strategic planning were examined. In the second stage, expert opinion was received from 2 faculty members working in the field of education management, and the 300 item list was reduced to 45 performance indicators under 6 main strategic dimensions. In the third and final stage of the research, performance indicators were classified according to their importance by using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method, which is a multi-criteria decision-making technique. The AHP study was carried out with 10 academics who had scientific studies in the field of strategic planning and worked in university administration. Finally, the performance indicators created for each strategic dimension are listed according to their criterion weights.

Authors: Tipsrirach Phalad , Thacha Witoon , Chusorn Prayuth
Published: March 2021

This research aimed at creating a structural model of the indicators of Educational Leadership for Primary School Principals in Thailand, which is considered to be a theoretical model that has been used to test for coherence with the empirical data collected from a sample group of 580 participants, who were selected from 30,719 Primary School Principals from across the country. To create this theoretical structural model, a study of the suitability of the indicators was carried out so that it could be further used in the selection within the model, as well as in the model’s coherence test with the empirical data and in the investigation of the factor loading. The results of the research were as follows: Firstly, all indicators, which had been applied in the research were selected and were then placed into the theoretical structural model because the average and distribution coefficient values were as set in the criteria. Secondly, the theoretical model is coherent with the empirical data as the values of relative Chi-square, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation, Goodness-of-Fit Index, Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index, Comparative Fit Index, and Normed Fit Index were as set in the criteria. Finally, the factor loadings of the key elements, sub-elements, and the indicators were as set in the criteria. This showed that the theoretical model from this research can be beneficial for the research population with construct validity.

Authors: Norbury Ryan , Smith Samuel , Burnley Mark , Judge Megan , Mauger Alexis
Published: March 2021

Purpose: Muscle pain can impair exercise performance but the mechanisms for this are unknown. This study examined the effects of muscle pain on neuromuscular fatigue during an endurance task. Methods: On separate visits, twelve participants completed an isometric time to task failure (TTF) of the right knee extensors at ~20% of maximum force following an intramuscular injection of isotonic saline (CTRL) or hypertonic saline (HYP) into the vastus lateralis. Measures of neuromuscular fatigue were taken before, during and after the TTF using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). Results: The mean pain intensity was 57 ± 10 in HYP compared to 38 ± 18 in CTRL (P < 0.001). TTF was reduced in HYP (4.36 ± 0.88 min) compared to CTRL (5.20 ± 0.39 min) (P = 0.003). Maximum voluntary force was 12 % lower at minute 1 (P = 0.003) and 11 % lower at minute 2 in HYP (P = 0.013) compared to CTRL. Voluntary activation was 4 % lower at minute 1 in HYP compared to CTRL (P = 0.006) but not at any other time point (all P > 0.05). The TMS silent period was 9 % longer at 100 s during the TTF in HYP compared to CTRL (P = 0.026). Conclusion: Muscle pain reduces exercise performance through the excacerbation of neuromuscular fatigue that is central in origin. This appears to be from inhibitory feedback from group III/IV nociceptors which acts to reduce central motor output.

Estimating Quarterly GDP for Nepal: An Application of Chow-Lin Procedure
Authors: Adhikari Naveen , Nepal Tulasi
Published: March 2021

Nepal started producing annual national income estimates following an internationally accepted system of 'National Account Systems' since the late1960s; and, accordingly, the annual GDP figures for Nepal are available for a longer period. However, the production and publication of quarterly GDP for public consumption have been both rare and occasional. This paper aims to bridge this gap by providing an estimate for quarterly GDP for the period of 1997/98 Q1 to 2017/18 Q4 following well established Chow-Lin procedure. The quarterly exports and government tax revenue are used to extrapolate the magnitude and movement of quarterly GDP. The results show a deterministic seasonal movement over the quarters. In particular, increased economic activities are observed in the second and fourth quarters while making a comparison on quarter to quarter basis. It is expected that this paper will partially fulfill the gap of unavailability of quarterly GDP figures in the public domain, and documents that the researcher may use suitable econometric exercise to obtain inter-temporal disaggregation of low-frequency data such as annual GDP into quarterly figures.
Role of Inflow of Resources on Economic Growth of Nepal
Authors: Mahara Tilak Singh , Bhatt Naw Raj
Published: March 2021

This study attempts to examine the role of the inflow of resources on the economic growth of Nepal incorporating annual time-series data sets of 45 years from 1975 to 2019. The autoregressive distributed lag approach to cointegration is used to identify the long-run as well as the short-run relationship between the variables. The empirical finding indicates that there is a positive relationship between the inflow of resources and economic growth. Quantitatively, gross national saving, domestic loans, foreign loans, and export earnings have a positive impact on the economic growth in both the long-run as well as short-run for the Nepalese economy. Policies encouraging private sector participation, enlarging efficiency, and effectiveness of public sector projects, and expanding export base must be implemented.
The Effectiveness of The Implementation of SPIP and SIMDA Its Impact Against The Quality of Financial Statements
Authors: Raspati Galih , Riyanto Andi
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of government financial reports that have not received an unqualified opinion because they have not presented financial information that is following applicable standards and is not transparent and accountable for the management of regional finances, makes the level of trust of users of financial statements doubt the various information presented. The demand for clean governance is also a strong foundation so that the bureaucratic apparatus is able to present quality financial statements. This study aims to understand the effectiveness of the application of the Government Internal Control System (SPIP) and the Regional Management Information System (SIMDA) currently being applied and its impact on the quality of financial statements. The research method used was a survey method. Then the data is collected from the results of questionnaires, interviews and literature studies. Data analysis is descriptive and verification. The results showed that SPIP and SIMDA had a significant impact on the quality of financial statements in Cireunghas District, Sukabumi District.    Keywords: financial statements, quality, SIMDA, SPIP
Modernity in Question? Culture and Religion in an Age of Global Modernity
Authors: Dirlik Arif
Published: March 2021

I would like to present an analytical framework that seeks to make sense of two seemingly contradictory developments over the last two decades: economic and political globalization that is taken generally to point to unprecedented global integration, and the resurgence of religions or, more broadly, traditionalisms, that create new political and cultural fractures, or reopen old ones. Most discussions of global developments privilege one or the other of these phenomena. We are all familiar with the by now prolific literature on globalization offering visions (or threats) of impending global integration and homogenization, in which the divisiveness introduced by religious revivals appears merely as a legacy of the past, one that is likely to be bridged by an irresistible globalization that reshapes the world. On the other side are analyses in which religious revivals are everything, not as remnants of the past but as products of modernity that point to multiple modernities or “clashes of civilizations” as the human fate for the foreseeable future. Emphasis on one or the other precludes recognition that integration and fragmentation—or homogenization and heterogenization—may be contradictory aspects of the same processes that are restructuring the globe.
Trade Diaspora versus Colonial State: Armenian Merchants, the English East India Company, and the High Court of Admiralty in London, 1748–1752
Authors: Aslanian Sebouh
Published: March 2021

This article offers a non-fictional detective story that enables, and is embedded within, a larger analytical narrative. For reasons that will become clear, I as a historian and archival researcher play an unusually large role in the detective story, a tale of how I tracked down documents that enabled me to reconstruct an act of British colonial-era piracy against merchants of the Armenian trade diaspora in the eighteenth century. At the center of the narrative is an Armenian-freighted merchant ship called the Santa Catharina, whose cargo the British Admiralty confiscated in India in 1748 and for the possession of which a complex trial was conducted in London between 1749 and 1752. The case pits a trade diaspora against a state, and the analytical narrative discusses the contestation between the waxing power of an imperial nation-state and the waning power of a transnational diaspora. My article situates the Santa Catharina trial in a context in which a form of familial–ethnic merchant capital competed with a national-stock-holding merchant capital (that is, the English East India Company), worked with as well as clashed against it, all in an environment increasingly dominated by the colonial conflicts of Britain, France, and the nawab states of India. That larger context was shaped by the everincreasing reach of the British state, the English East India Company it chartered, and the navy and law courts that enforced the company’s privileges and encroachments.
The De-cosmopolitanization of the Russian Diaspora: A View from Brooklyn in the “Far Abroad”
Authors: Laitin David D.
Published: March 2021

Diaspora communities emphasize different aspects of their complex cultural repertoires—whether by choice or by necessity—as they insert themselves culturally and politically into their host countries. Some highlight their race (blacks from the Caribbean into the United States); others their religion (Muslims from Algeria into France); and still others their language-based ethnicity (English in South Africa). Determining ex ante which aspect of their identities will “win” has long perplexed students of ethnicity. But over time, a significant proportion of each diasporic community and their descendents consolidates around a single dimension of difference, conditioning their social and political behavior on their interests as members of a category (say, Catholic) on the highlighted dimension (in this case, religion).
Configuring the Filipino Diaspora in the United States
Authors: Juan E. San
Published: March 2021

An article by one Blanche d’Alpuget in the New York Times Book Review on Jessica Hagedorn’s novel, Dogeaters, may have contributed to reviving an old impression of Filipinos as “dogeaters” inhabiting an irredeemably debauched society where greed, corruption, and chaos rule. Hagedorn is, however, an American author who has never eaten dogmeat. A mestiza with Spanish, German, and Malayan blood, she spent her years growing up in California as part of the “Filipino national identity movement” (Pajaron 20) in the sixties. Later, as a student in the American Conservatory Theater, she would get roles only as maid or hooker. Her contemporaries—the writers included in one of the first Asian-American literary anthologies, Aiiieeeeee! (Chin)—bewailed “the years of racism, identity crises, and subsequent ethnic rejection” of the postwar milieu. Exposing the fraud of the “American Dream,” these young Filipino-American (still hyphenated then) artists confessed how confused and dismayed they were at the “Oriental” Filipino back in the home islands (“brown faces with white minds”) who adopted and imitated anything American. But how many have read their writings?
Numerical Modeling of Time-Dependent Deformations of Concrete at 3D Analysis of Structures
Authors:   , Džolan Ante
Published: March 2021

Concrete is a material with highly nonlinear behavior. In parallel, there are numerous secondary effects in concrete, such as aging, shrinkage, and creep, which further complicate the realistic simulation of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures. In modern times, due to bolder construction, increasing spans and high rising construction, the need for realistic simulation of the behavior of concrete structures under conditions of various types of loads is becoming more pronounced. On the other hand, models with a small number of real-life parameters that can describe the actual behavior of concrete as accurately as possible are necessary. One such model, the previously developed model Precon 3D, which is based on a small number of parameters and can very well describe the behavior of concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed structures for short-term static loads was taken as the basis for this work. Through this work, the numerical model Precon 3D has been upgraded with a model for following the behavior of concrete during time, i.e. the model has been upgraded with a model of creep and shrinkage of concrete, which is necessary for following the behavior of prestressed structures. The developed software has been tested against several experimental examples from the literature, with a very good match between numerical and experimental results.

Yumuşak güç kavramı, çağdaş yönetim anlayışında güncel konular arasında değerlendirilmektedir. Yumuşak güç kavramını ilk kez Joseph S. Nye “Liderliğe Zorunluluk: Amerikan Gücünün Değişen Doğası” adlı eserde ortaya koymuştur. Yönetimde liderlik gücü adı altında tartışılan yumuşak güç, 1990’lı yıllardan günümüze kadar birçok alanda özellikle de dış politikada kullanılan ve eleştirilen bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, güç, güç kaynakları, yumuşak güç ve alt boyutları hakkında bilgiler vermek; konu hakkında yapılan çalışmaları ortaya koymak ve sağlık yönetimi ve yönetim alanı açısından yumuşak güç kavramının değerlendirilmektir. Bu kapsamda, öncelikle konuya ilişkin detaylı kuramsal bilgiler sunulmuş ve sonrasında araştırma literatürü Web Of Science’ta ve Ulusal Tez Merkezi’nde (YÖK Tez’de) yer alan çalışmalara göre bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile oluşturulmuştur. Ardından da sağlık yönetimi ve yönetim alanı açısından yumuşak güç kavramı değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda yöneticilerin ve sağlık yöneticilerinin diğer bireylerle ve kurumlarla iletişim kurdukları tüm süreçlerde yumuşak gücü kullanmalarının önem taşıdığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca alanyazında sağlık alanında yumuşak güç kavramına ilişkin çalışmaların az sayıda olduğu ve bu konuda yapılacak yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulduğu belirlenmiştir.

Different distal fixation anchors in lumbosacral spinal deformities associated with sacral agenesis: which one is better?
Authors: Zhang Tianyuan , Bao Hongda , Shu Shibin , Liu Zhen , Sun Xu , Wang Bin , Qiu Yong , Zhu Zezhang
Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVE

Sacral agenesis (SA) is a rare congenital malformation of the spine. There has been a paucity of clinical research to investigate the surgical outcome of spinopelvic fixation in these patients. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the outcome of different distal fixation anchors in lumbosacral spinal deformities associated with SA and to determine the optimal distal fixation anchor.

METHODS

Patients with diagnoses of SA and lumbosacral scoliosis undergoing spinopelvic fixation with S1 screws, iliac screws, or S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) screws were analyzed. The main curve, coronal balance distance, and pelvic obliquity were compared at baseline, postoperatively, and during follow-up in three groups. The complications were also recorded.

RESULTS

A total of 24 patients were included: 8 patients were stratified into group 1 (S1 screws), 9 into group 2 (iliac screws), and 7 into group 3 (S2AI screws). The main curves were well corrected postoperatively (p < 0.05) in all groups. Coronal balance showed a tendency of deterioration during follow-up in patients with S1 screws (from 18.8 mm to 27.0 mm). Regarding pelvic obliquity, patients with both iliac and S2AI screws showed significant correction (from 3.7° to 2.3° and from 3.3° to 1.6°). Implant-related complications were rod breakage in 3 patients and infection in 1 patient in group 2, and no implant-related complications were observed in group 3. There were 3 cases of unilateral S1 pedicle screw misplacement in group 1.

CONCLUSIONS

Spinopelvic fixation is a safe and effective procedure that can achieve coronal correction in lumbosacral scoliosis associated with SA. Compared with S1 and iliac screws, S2AI screws as distal fixation anchors can achieve a more satisfactory correction with fewer implant-related complications.
Emergency Law Responses to Covid-19 and the Impact on Peace and Transition Processes
Authors: Molloy Sean
Published: March 2021

The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic on 11 March 2020. This global health crisis demanded a quick, decisive and efficient response by governments to protect lives, curb the spread of the virus and prevent public health systems from being overwhelmed. This report explores the way governments undergoing transitions to peace and democracy have triggered emergency legal frameworks to disable some ordinary (democratic) procedures and set aside standard political and legal accountability mechanisms as part of their Covid-19 response. It also provides information about where elections have been postponed or cancelled, and central governments have assumed enhanced responsibilities, which have often included powers otherwise designated to local or regional governments. While the impacts of both the pandemic and the responses to the contagion have been felt globally, they often have quite different consequences in countries attempting peace and democratic transition processes.

Prediksi Harga Saham Perusahaan Perbankan Menggunakan Regresi Linear Studi Kasus Bank BCA Tahun 2015-2017
Authors: Merfin Merfin , Oetama Raymond Sunardi
Published: March 2021

Stock investment is important for financial development in a company. Moreover, the stock price displayed by the company can be known by the people and the local economy because the company has gone public on the Indonesia Economic Exchange (IDX) at www.idx.co.id. There are several fundamental factors that influence the stock market price in a listed company and as a result the number of stock investors in Indonesia is very small. This cause made it difficult for the community to predict the stock price of banking companies at inconsistent prices. The method to be used in this paper is Linear Regression using Excel tools to perform calculations and SPSS 16.0 as a data mining tool. The research data taken is historical data of banking companies for 3 periods as a whole in the form of excel that has been downloaded from the Yahoo Finance website. The final results are in the form of MAPE charts in 3 years period, and Average error chart in 3 years period.

Introducing  animals in early childhood can foster children's love for animals. Some media for introducing animals to children are diverse, one of which is a book about animals. Books about animals display various types of animals and information on these animals. But books about animals are less effective in helping parents teach children about animals because they are less interactive. With the development of technology, especially smart phones can help users spread information. Smartphones can load images, videos& text. To help parents introduce animals to children, an animal recognition application on smart phones was developed. The development method used is MDLC, which consists of 6 stages: concept, design, material collection, merging, testing, and distribution. This application is made using the Java programming language on Android with Android Studio. This applications can be used as an interactive learning media to introduce animals to children. This application can display images, videos, animal information and some quizes.
Aus der Elternzeit zurück in die Erwerbstätigkeit
Authors: Heinrich Eva
Published: March 2021

Der Übergang aus der Elternzeit zurück in die Erwerbstätigkeit kennzeichnet sich selten durch eine nahtlose Rückkehr an den Arbeitsplatz. In Unternehmensberatungen jedoch stellt der berufliche Wiedereinstieg einen besonders sensiblen Prozess des (Neu-)Austarierens des Verhältnisses der Lebensdomänen dar. Eben dieser Prozess wird in der vorliegenden Studie näher in Augenschein genommen und gefragt, wie der fokussierte Übergang im organisationalen Kontext von Unternehmensberatungen durch Praktiken hergestellt, gerahmt und vollzogen wird.

Published: March 2021

In the engineering applications, the distribution of objects is mostly random. Therefore, scattering analysis of randomly distributed objects has been one of the important problems in broadband electromagnetic calculation field. To resolve the problem, the Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation technique in conjunction with Monte Carlo Method is presented. First, the stochastic distribution is modeled by the Monte Carlo Method, and then the Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation technique using Padé approximation is utilized to achieve the Radar Cross Section at a wide frequency band. Numerical results show that the Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation technique can solve the random distributed object problems efficiently and accurately.
Misuse of statistics: Time to speak out
Authors: Pullinger John
Published: March 2021

Statistics are the currency of debate and the basis for sound decisions. If they are misused the currency of debate is devalued and the basis for decision making is undermined. Without confidence in statistics, decision makers are flying blind when they make their choices and citizens are in the dark in seeking to hold those decision makers to account. Misuse of statistics undermines trust and by doing so it undermines democracy. This paper explores the safeguards available to protect against misuse of statistics. It describes the nature of the threats and how they are changing before assessing the responses. It concludes that there is unfinished business to be taken forward.

EXPERIENCE AND PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF OFF-LABEL DRUGS IN ONCOLOGY
Authors: Drogovoz S.M. , Starikov V.I. , Ivantsyk L.B. , Shchokina K.G.
Published: March 2021

According to the World Health Organization, half of all drugs available on the global pharmaceutical market are sometimes used for indications that are not included in the instruction for use. This method of therapy has the term “off-label use” which means the use “out of instruction”. Today, off-label drugs are also prescribed for cancer treatment. For example, a drug developed to treat one type of tumor can sometimes be used to treat other types of cancer. The treatment of certain types of pain with tricyclic antidepressants is also an example of the off-label drugs used in oncology. An example of an off-label prescription is anxiolytic medicine lorazepam, which can be used off-label as an antiemetic in cancer patients. Low doses of naltrexone are applied to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases. A retrospective analysis of modern oncotherapy indicates that oncologists often use off-label drugs in combination therapy, especially in the treatment of patients with concomitant diseases, in case of progressive development of the tumor, or to reduce the toxicity and cost of treatment components. American oncologists are of the opinion that if all the drugs prescribed by the International Recommendations failed in the treatment of cancer, doctors can prescribe off-label medications, but only if their effectiveness and safety are clearly established. The problem of the off-label use of drugs in oncology has not yet been studied in detail, however, this direction has certain promising prospects.

Aim: To evaluate the changes of some biochemical blood plasma parameters and morphological structure of the internal organs of rats with transplanted doxorubicin (DOX)-sensitive (Walker 256) and doxorubicin-resistant (Walker 256/DOX) strains of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on female Wistar rats with transplanted Walker 256 or Walker 256/DOX and intact animals (control). On the 9th day after transplantation of tumor cells, a comparative analysis of some blood plasma biochemical parameters and morphological examination of the liver, kidneys, myocardium and spleen of rats was carried out. Results: Walker 256 growth, in comparison with Walker 256/DOX, is accompanied by more pronounced systemic effect on tumor-bearing rats. Uric acid concentration in the blood plasma of Walker 256 bearing rats was significantly (by 15.5%) higher than in Walker 256/DOX bearing rats. Aspartate aminotransferase activity in the Walker 256 group was significantly (by 107.2%) higher than in Walker 256/DOX group, but alanine aminotransferase activity was 58.5% lower. 56.7% decrease of alkaline phosphatase in rats with Walker 256, and 21% increase of this index in rats with Walker 256/DOX were observed. The growth of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma led to greater structural damage of the liver, kidneys and spleen in experimental animals compared with Walker 256/DOX strain. Conclusion: Tumor growth in rats with Walker 256/DOX leads to less pronounced changes in the biochemical parameters of rat blood plasma and morphological structure of internal organs compared with wild-type carcinosarcoma.

Background: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is known to be involved in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Changes in TLR4 expression are associated with changes in the expression of key cellular cytokines (transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ)), which affect cancer progression and metastasis. Aim: To study changes in the expression of TLR4, TGF-β, TNF-α, IFN-γ genes, the level of apoptosis and cell cycle distribution in human invasive urothelial carcinoma T24/83 cells under the treatment with polyphenolic adjuvant compound of fungal origin melanin, cytotoxic drug cisplatin, and combination of both. Materials and Methods: T24/83 cells were incubated with cisplatin (0.05 mM), melanin (5 µg/ml), or their combination. The expression level of TLR-4, TGF-β, INF-γ, TNF-α was evaluated by the real time polymerase chain reaction. The flow cytometry was used to study cell cycle distribution, proliferative activity and level of apoptosis. Morphological analysis of the Т24/83 cells was performed as well. Results: Melanin, cisplatin, and their combination downregulate TLR4 expression (2.67; 1.28; and 2.73-fold decrease, respectively) and TNF-α expression (6.5; 1.4; and 1.7-fold decrease, respectively). Melanin did not affect TGF-β expression while cisplatin caused 13-fold downregulation of TGF-β. The combined use of cisplatin and melanin decreased TGF-β expression by 6.5 times. The upregulation of IFN-γ by melanin, cisplatin, and their combination was demonstrated (4.3; 6.7; and 2-fold increase, respectively). All treatment modalities increased the level of apoptosis in T24/83 cells. Melanin treatment increased significantly the proportion of fibroblast-like cells in T24/83 culture with decreased cell adhesion to the substrate. Conclusions: Melanin, cisplatin, and combination of both agents affect significantly TLR4, TNF-α, TGF-β, INF-γ expression, cell cycle distribution and morphology in T24/83 cells suggesting their transition to less aggressive phenotype.
