Published: June 2021

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a heterogenous infection that affects the endothelial surface of the intracardiac structures and other implanted intracardiac devices. We aimed to compare demographical characteristics, causative microorganisms, treatment, and prognosis of prosthetic and native valve endocarditis diagnosed in two separate hospitals.
Material and methods: Between 2010 and 2020, patients admitted with the diagnosis of IE were retrospectively included in our multicenter study. Patients' demographic and epidemiological data, clinical characteristics, infected intracardiac structure and sort of valve, culprit microorganisms, laboratory findings, treatment manifestations and in-hospital outcomes with a period of 6 months were obtained from an electronic medical record system.
Results: A total of 173 consecutive patients had diagnosed IE, 60.1% (104 patients) of them native valve endocarditis (NVE) and 39.8 % (69 patients) of them prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE).  Baseline demographic properties were not different except hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Patients with prior hypertension were 25% (26 patients) in NVE; 39.1% (27 patients) in PVE and the difference was statistically significant. Septic shock was significantly higher in the PVE group than the NVE group (7.4% versus 1%; P = .036), and also recurrent endocarditis occurred more frequently in the PVE group than the NVE group (8.8% versus 1%; P = .016).
Conclusion: In our study, although we detected higher mean age, HT, RDW and atrial fibrillation rates compared with NVE, we did not detect a significant difference in mortality and morbidity.

Published: June 2021

Recently, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and Integrative Medicine (IM) have been broadly developed. IM involves both of CAM and Western Medicine (WM). Integrative Medicine Japan (IMJ) has developed CAM/IM in Japan, and author has managed Shikoku Island division of IMJ. Current topics include the music/art therapy for cancer patients, and hospital art (art in hospital) using convenient masking tape for satisfaction and improved health outcomes. The word “health” is from the Sanskrit language “Swasth”, which is combined of SWA (my) + STH (exist, keep) with meaning of self-existence under self-consciousness. Thus, CAM/IM can contribute the promotion of health.
Innovative mid-trimester termination of pregnancy in a COVID-19 critically Ill patient
Authors: Abu-Yaqoub Salwa
Published: June 2021

The current COVID-19 pandemic has introduced many challenges on the presentation of the disease, effects of the disease on co-morbidities of the patient and the management of these. This has necessitated innovative ways of managing these patients. This is particularly so in pregnant women with COVID-19. We present a case of a pregnant woman in her mid-trimester who presented with severe COVID-19 disease requiring ICU admission who required termination of pregnancy due to worsening condition while on ventilator. She presented with high fever, cough and difficulty in breathing. These rapidly deteriorated requiring ECMO. Her liver function, kidney function and inflammatory markers equally deteriorated very fast despite various treatments including using convalescence plasma. We decided to terminate the pregnancy to help in managing her condition. The baby died just when we were considering the termination of the pregnancy thus requiring Mid-trimester termination of the non-viable pregnancy. We initially tried to use vaginal misoprostol for the termination but failed thus we had to find a way of using mifepristone pre-treatment for the termination. An innovative used of mifepristone through the nasogastric tube was devised and we successfully terminated the pregnancy with mifepristone pre-treatment followed by a single dose of misoprostol with minimal blood loss. The patient’s condition improved rapidly after the termination of pregnancy and she recovered fully. We feel her pregnant status might have contributed to her severe symptoms and the disease may have contributed to the demised of the baby. We recommend the use of mifepristone through the nasogastric tube in the process of termination of pregnancy in a sick ventilated patient.

Published: June 2021

Access to skilled birth attendance is critical in improving maternal and newborn health. However, in low resource settings, rural and refugee camps, professionally trained staff are often in short supply hence women tend to rely on traditional birth attendants (TBAs) for delivery. Despite knowledge that a health care facility delivery is safer, many women from low resource environments continue to seek for the care of TBAs. In order to understand the care provided to refugee women during pregnancy and after birth, in a refugee camp, a study was conducted in Ifo Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. The aim of this article therefore, is to document findings on participants’ perspectives on pre and post-natal care provided to women in refugee camps during pregnancy and after birth. This was a qualitative study conducted in Ifo refugee camp in Dadaab Kenya. Nine participants were purposively selected for the study to give their perspectives on the role of TBAs in providing caregiving support to refugee women during pregnancy and after birth. The participants included two married men, three traditional birth attendants, two Somali pregnant women and two refugee safe mothers. Data was collected through focus group discussions and interviews. The data was beefed up with feedback from dissemination of preliminary findings to stakeholders’ validation conference held at Kenyatta University. Findings revealed that TBAs play a critical role in supporting women during pregnancy and after birth. However, they are not able to attend to complications associated to delivery. Among the caring support cited include, guiding and counselling pregnant women, educating them on the importance of attending antenatal clinics, massaging women during labour, praying for the baby after birth, and escorting women to the health facilities to take their babies for immunization. It was also apparent that TBAs advise pregnant women on the herbs they should have in stock while pregnant. In addition, they advise women to breast feed their babies immediately after birth. While TBAs are able to assist un complicated births at home, it was apparent that it becomes challenging for them to provide support for women with complication during the birth process. In view of this, it will be more helpful for TBAs to be encouraged to guide and advise pregnant women to deliver in the health care facility, where they can escort them to get professional attention during birth

The use of microalgae for the economic needs and the commercial goals determines the areas of the scientific researches that will make it possible to increase their productivity. It is also important to direct the metabolism of the algae to the activating of certain synthetic processes in order to obtain the desired compounds. The metals and non-metals, entering into the cell, have a high biochemical activity. These elements modify the metabolic reactions in general and the metabolic reactions related to the functioning of the genome of microalgae cells. Aim. The aim was to study the genetic polymorphism of Chlorella vulgaris under the action of such trace elements as selenium, zinc and chromium in order to optimize the methods of algae cultivation and the obtaining of the beneficial compounds. Methods. The hydrobiological methods of algae cultivation, DNA isolation method by Rogers S. and Bendich A. (1985), PCR-analysis with ISSR (inter simple sequence repeats)- and IRAP-markers (inter-retransposon amplified polymorphism) have been used. Results. For all samples of C. vulgaris 109 DNA-fragments were obtained and 42 of them were polymorphic (38.5%). Jacquard distances (DJ) between the samples of C. vulgaris culture (cultures are grown on the media with different elements compositions and control (standard conditions) were 0.232 (only selenite), 0.206 (selenite and zinc) and 0.300 (selenite and chromium). Conclusions. Probably the genetic modifications of C. vulgaris cells are caused by the additional introduction of the microelements into the culture medium. The genetic polymorphism of the algae grown on media with various trace elements and their combinations was like the genetic polymorphism of the unicellular green algae grown in the natural conditions. It indicates the absence of significant genotoxic effects of the trace elements and high metabolic and genetic plasticity of algal culture.

A new lectin from the marine red alga Gracilaria canaliculata (GCL) was isolated by a combination of aqueous ethanol extraction, ethanol precipitation, ion exchange and filtration chromatography. Lectin gave a single band with molecular mass of 22,000 Da in both non-reducing and reducing SDS-PAGE conditions, indicating that GCL is a monomeric protein. The hemagglutination activities of GCL were stable over a wide range of pH from 3 to 10, temperature up 60 oC and not affected by either the presence of EDTA or addition of divalent cations. Lectin GCL had high affinity for N-acetylneuraminic acid through interacting with the acetamido group at equatorial C2 position of these sugar residues, suggesting that GCL is specific for N-acetylneuraminic acid. Furthermore, GCL inhibited the growth of human and shrimp pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio alginolyticus, although it did not affect the growth of Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloace, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi. The red alga G. canaliculata may promise to be a source of valuable lectins for application as antibacterial agents.

Oral infections (gingivitis and periodontitis) and oral cancer are under rise in developing countries. Products with antibacterial and antioxidant activity can provide a combined approach to treat oral disorders. Marine algae is a reservoir of rich bioactive phytochemicals and are considered to be potential candidates in natural pharmaceutics. Kappaphycus alvarezii is a marine algae widely cultivated for food applications. The current study investigates the phyto-pharmacological properties of K. alvarezii for oral diseases. Different polarity solvents (ethanol, ethyl acetate and chloroform) were used in the extraction of bioactive components of K. alvarezii, partially characterized by GCMS and studied for their antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity. All the K. alvarezii extracts exhibited good antioxidant activity and potential efficacy against oral pathogenic microbes. Although K. alvarezii extracts were found to be safe for normal Vero cells, their inhibitory activity on oral cancer cells (KB-3-1 cell lines) was found to be low. These findings have suggested the possibility of K. alvarezii using in the dental preparation/product to combat oral infections.

Published: June 2021

The aim of the article is to substantiate the typology of forms of spatial organization of the economy on the basis of a process approach and to clarify the features of their development in the context of Ukrainian realities and global trends in social development. There are four types of forms of spatial organization of the economy - based on the processes of business, innovation and foreign economic activity and agglomeration of production. Their subtypes are noted: by composition of branches (branch, interbranch, multidisciplinary), by character of connections (horizontal, vertical and mixed types), by organizational status (organizationally decorated and organizationally not decorated), by configuration (point, network, planar), by spatial distribution (local, regional, national, international). Forms of spatial organization of the economy of all types are considered, in particular on the basis of processes: business activity - enterprises, business incubators, corporations, financial-industrial groups, business networks, poles of competitiveness, regions with high competitive status; agglomerations of production - universal enterprises and plants, industrial areas, industrial districts, clusters, territorial production complexes, growth poles, development axes, economic areas; innovation activity - startups, innovative business incubators, concerns and parks, technopolises, innovation networks and clusters, smart cities, C-regions; foreign economic activity - joint ventures, transnational corporations, global networks, international clusters, world (global) cities, free (special) economic zones, globalized regions. Peculiarities of creation, functioning and development of forms of spatial organization of economy in the conditions of Ukraine are determined. It is noted that the proposed typology opens additional opportunities for clustering, innovation and transnationalization of the Ukrainian economy.

Published: June 2021

Renal angiomyolipoma is a rare cause of renal tumor in children. Most are associated with tuberous sclerosis, and the classic type is observed more commonly. Epithelioid angiomyolipoma is even rarer with only limited case reports and series published in literature, most of which are of adult patients. We describe a 12-year-old boy, a diagnosed patient of tuberous sclerosis, who presented with pain in the left flank. On evaluation, it was found to have a left renal mass with the clinical picture suggestive of renal cell carcinoma. Partial nephrectomy was performed and histopathology revealed epithelioid angiomyolipoma. The child was asymptomatic at follow-up after 3 months. Only a few such cases in children are found in literature, which are discussed alongside. Differential diagnosis of this rare tumor must be kept in mind in a renal tumor as surgery is generally curative in this possibly malignant tumor. Metastasis confers a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy is generally not effective, although various regimens have been tried. Tumor recurrence must be kept in mind and a follow-up after apparent complete remission is of paramount importance.

Using a molecular dynamics method water-like anomalies in a core-softened system depending on the potential parameters and space dimension were investigated. We have examined the anomalies of density, diffusion and structure and have shown that the sequence of anomalous regions cardinally depends on the repulsive step width and space dimension. Thus, in a three-dimensional (3D) system with small values of the step width the sequence of anomalous regions is the same as in water, whereas in a two-dimensional (2D) system – as in liquid silica. With an increase in the step width, an inversion of the regions of the diffusion anomaly and of the density anomaly is observed. Such an unusual sequence of anomalous regions different from water and liquid silica is exclusively caused by the step width and does not depend on the space dimension.

Correlation of Translational and Rotational Motion of Water Molecules in Molecular Dynamic Models
Authors:   Voevodsky Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion of SB RAS, Voloshin Vladimir P.
Published: June 2021

The motion of a rigid molecule in a computer model can be described as the sum of the displacement of the center of mass of the molecule and the rotation of the molecule around an axis passing through this center. The interaction of a molecule with its environment leads to a correlation between these movements. Earlier in [1], we studied the distributions of angles between the directions of the displacement vectors and the axes of rotation of water molecules, as well as between them and the internal vectors of these molecules. This paper describes the correlation of the magnitudes of these displacements, that is, the lengths of the displacement vectors and angles of accompanying rotations. The correlation coefficients of these characteristics are calculated for intervals of different durations at different temperatures and pressures, and the character times of preservation of these correlations are determined. We believe that the times found by us represent the lifetimes of the local environments of molecules. For water molecules, a change in the local environment is accompanied by a change in the structure of the nearest section of the network of hydrogen bonds, and therefore the lifetimes of local environments are close to the lifetimes of these bonds.

The mixed network of hydrogen bonds in the ethylene glycol (EG) - monoethanolamine (MEA) system is described by molecular dynamics (MD) methods, graph theory, and Delaunay simplexes at 300 K in the entire concentration range. It is shown that at low MEA concentrations, all molecules in the system are linked into a spatial network of H-bonds; at high MEA concentrations, this number is 96%. Detailed characteristics of the networks are given. The resulting picture is expanded by studying the system using the Delaunay simplex method. The calculations are compared for different charges on the atoms of the MEA molecule.

Authors:   Russian State Social University, Zhukov P.S.
Published: June 2021

the article deals with the problem of polyvariance of the sociological categories “victimization” and “victimization”. Analyzing various interpretations of these concepts, the author comes to the conclusion that to a certain extent the polyvariance of these sociological categories is due to their borrowing from criminology, in addition, this is due to their versatility, multilevel nature and the impossibility of unambiguous interpretation. Special attention is paid to the importance of sociological surveys in determining the level of victimization of the population, and for the first time the need to study victimology in the context of sociological understanding of its concepts for further sociological research of crime in general is indicated.

Published: June 2021

the article deals with the problem of combating COVID-19 on the example of historical pages of the fight against epidemiological diseases from the experience of Russia and Europe. The entire world community is concerned that modern humanity, feeling all the hardships of the pandemic, will enter such a psychological state that it will not be able to solve vital and important problems in all spheres of society. We are already faced with the fact that the younger generation looks at this problem aloofly and does not strive to overcome fear, which eventually leads to depression. The historical chronicle shows that in ancient times, diseases oppressed people; people, being in a stressful state, thought that the “end of the world” had come and there was no more future, no place for knowledge and education. However, scientists, thinkers, and doctors were looking for a panacea for terrible ailments and methods of treating the socio-psychological state of people. The current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic shows an identical picture of the solution to the problem. Statesmen, together with doctors, strive to do everything to save people from this terrible disease. The authors, studying scientific and historical materials, expressed their thoughts that today it is important, based on history, to take care of the health of the peoples of the world, conducting a peaceful policy in a single commonwealth, taking care of the welfare, cleanliness and good attitude to each other – only by acting in this way will humanity preserve all the values created by their ancestors, pass on their cultural heritage to their descendants.

University Students As Subjects of Family Support Relationships
Authors:   Ural State Economic University, Sharin V.I.
Published: June 2021

the article is aimed at studying the relationship of family support. The scientific literature gives ambiguous assessments of the nature of mutual assistance between parents and their adult childrenstudents. Therefore, the main research tasks are to establish the nature of parental support in families with student children and to assess the impact of the gender factor on support. The methodological basis of the study was the development of the theory of reciprocity by B. Malinovsky and K. Polanyi, as well as the works of leading foreign and Russian scientists. The study was conducted on the basis of a set of general scientific methods, such as system analysis, generalization and systematization, comparison, and questionnaires. The empirical basis of the study is a survey of 300 students and 12 individual semi-structured interviews of students of the Ural State University of Economics, collected in 2020. The survey data and interviews were analyzed in order to identify the peculiarities of the nature of family assistance in families with student children, as well as the influence of the gender factor. As a result of the study, it was found that the relations of family assistance in families with student children are interdependent, symmetrical, and non-equivalent in nature, and they are based on the principle of reciprocity. Children help their parents, as a rule, according to the situation, if necessary. The main types of assistance are household management, as well as emotional and psychological support. Gender influences family care relationships. Thus, daughters are more concerned about their parents than sons. In these families, student children are much more likely to help on a regular, permanent basis, more often provide parents with financial assistance, emotional and psychological support, assistance in caring for parents and in household management. Material and emotional and psychological support from parents is at a high level, regardless of the child’s gender.
Strategic Models for Sustainable Development in the Transition to a Green Economy
Authors:   Financial University Under the Government of the Russian Federation, Kozlov V.M.
Published: June 2021

the study is aimed at considering modern models of ensuring the sustainable development of the macroeconomic regulation mechanism due to its main direction of achievement – orientation to the “green” vector of development. All participants in the world economy, depending on the level of their socioeconomic development, define in different ways the goals and objectives of the transition to green growth. This has highlighted three strategies for building a sustainable development model: progressive, egocentric and constraining. Priority development areas have been identified for each of them. Some are opportunistic, others are due to forced adaptation to existing global realities and internal problems, while others are determined by the need to overcome internal macroeconomic contradictions, which are a barrier to the transition to a green economy.

the article presents an analysis of innovation activity and its elements in the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of tourism enterprises belonging to small and medium-sized businesses. The changes taking place in the world in the tourism market, including under the influence of COVID-19, as well as the peculiarities of tourism as part of the service sector and industry, lead to the search for new nontraditional destinations with innovative elements. The purpose of this article is to present the innovation activity in quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The study used such methods as content analysis, comparative analysis, the method of expert assessments, and statistical methods. The results of the research of innovation activity based on monitoring, taking into account industry characteristics, characterize a low share of small enterprises interested in innovation, a small connection with higher educational institutions, a low share of environmental and managerial innovations. The results of the observation of tourism enterprises allow us to assess innovation activity positively for most enterprises, but at the same time there is a lack of state support for regional administration, financial capabilities and strategic planning at enterprises. The importance of innovative activities, especially in terms of marketing, research and obtaining new information for the development of innovative projects and the strategic development of tourism in our country is emphasized. As a priority, the interaction of small and medium-sized businesses with scientific departments of universities is highlighted in order to integrate their joint activities.
