A monitoria de Física sob o ponto de vista de seus monitores
Authors: Bernardes Jader
Published: June 2020

Este estudo reflete sobre a importância das sessões de monitoria da disciplina de Física em uma escola técnica pública de ensino médio. Essa análise ocorre a partir dos pontos de vista de alunos monitores que se inscrevem em uma entrevista online na plataforma Google Forms. Posteriormente, tais monitores analisaram o processo ensino-aprendizagem que desempenham nas aulas com os alunos que buscam a monitoria de colegas. Para tanto, uma pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada, considerando contribuições de autores que abordam monitoria e aprendizagem cooperativa. Concluiu-se que a monitoria auxilia o aluno, não só na disciplina de Física, mas também em outras disciplinas e em aspectos da vida escolar. Nesse sentido, a monitoria de Física é capaz de promover ganhos de autonomia e autoestima, em decorrência dos momentos de interação entre alunos e monitores.
Desafios e perspectivas do cultivo do Eucalyptus, para fins energéticos no estado do Tocantins
Authors: Duarte Felício Antônio , Collicchio Erich
Published: June 2020

Este trabalho utilizou-se de uma metodologia de dados secundários de instituições renomadas. Visou compilar as informações e analisar os desafios e perspectivas do cultivo do Eucalyptus para fins energéticos no estado do Tocantins, com ênfase no carvão vegetal. Carvão vegetal e indústria de celulose são os maiores demandantes dos plantios florestais tanto no Tocantins como no País inteiro. De 2010 a 2017, foi constatado que a área de plantio com Eucalyptus no Estado foi ampliada em 304%. O Tocantins possui um grande potencial produtor de carvão vegetal, sobretudo na região norte, onde se concentram 44% dos plantios de Eucalyptus. Essa concentração se deve à proximidade da região com empresas localizadas ao sul do estado do Pará (siderúrgicas) e ao sudoeste do estado do Maranhão (siderúrgicas e celulose).

Authors: Ledur Fenner Natalia , Zimmer André , Zimmer Cínthia Gabriely
Published: June 2020

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o processo de oxidação térmica como uma forma de aumentar a resistência à corrosão do aço inoxidável. Próteses e instrumentais cirúrgicos produzidos em aço inoxidável foram expostos à atmosfera rica em oxigênio nas temperaturas de 300 e 400 ºC, pelos períodos de 30 e 60 minutos. Posteriormente, o material oxidado foi submetido a repetidos ciclos de esterilização em uma autoclave vertical, na temperatura de 127°C e pressão de 147,1 kPa. Os resultados foram analisados quanto à rugosidade, formação de descoloração e pites de corrosão. O processo de oxidação térmica mostrou efeito positivo em combinações de 300°C por 30 minutos e 60 minutos. Nessas condições, as superfícies analisadas apresentaram menor número de pites de corrosão, descoloração e riscos. Pode-se concluir que a oxidação térmica, um tratamento de fácil operacionalidade e baixo custo, pode melhorar a resistência à corrosão por pites de próteses e instrumentais cirúrgicos submetidos a repetidos ciclos de esterilização em autoclave.
EVOLUTION OF AN INSTRUMENTAL GENRE IN TRADITIONAL TURKISH ART MUSIC: A DISCUSSION ON “INSTRUMENTAL SEMÂÎ”
Authors: TUTU Sıtkı Bahadır
Published: June 2020

The formal aspects of traditional Turkish art music creations had been evolved throughout the centuries. On the other hand, during the evolution period the performing features and the functions of the creations changed and varied, too. As a result of those changes, the terms like peşrev and saz semâîsi (which means semâî for instruments, instrumental semâî) gained their complexions which are discussed here. In this article, brief information about the instrumental genres is given chronically based on some edvârs which are the written historical sources. Then evolution of the genre instrumental semâî is explained and its relations with a much older genre peşrev are emphasized. At this stage, I mentioned a generally accepted judgment about some specific usûls (rhythm patterns), seeing them as the essential design elements of peşrev genre. I arrive at the conclusion that significative role which is attributed to usûl is the result of a traditional composition style in a broad sense. In this frame, the determinative aspects of instrumental semâî (form, function, context and the relations of these elements) are clarified here. In connection with my discussion on instrumental semâî, the common use of form as a term instead of genre is needed to be addressed. Because the terms form and genre are important keys for music research they are also important for classifying the creations of Turkish art music tradition. As an inference, form can contribute a lot to the description of a genre indeed. But it is not the unique element determining the genre and because of this, using the term form instead of genre just produces obscurity ordinarily. As the main result of this article, all the aspects of genres can evolve or disappear, therefore it must be considered that classifications are not permanent.

Соціальні мережі як культурно‑просвітницький ресурс
Authors: Поплавський Михайло
Published: June 2020

Автором статті виявлені сутність і потенціал віртуальних соціальних мереж як культурно-просвітницького ресурсу. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на застосуванні загальнонаукових методів системного аналізу (аналіз, синтез, проблематизація, абстрагування), теорії соціальних мереж; метод логічної реконструкції використовувався при з’ясуванні сутності основних властивостей соціальних мереж та їх функціонування в сучасності.Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в осмисленні соціальних мереж в новому контексті: не лише як інформаційного поля, на якому здійснюються процеси самопрезентації та самоідентифікації користувача і формується його Я-Образ, а й як культурно-просвітницького ресурсу, дієвого інструменту для виховання студентської молоді, коригування її ціннісних орієнтацій, розвитку самосвідомості і професійного самовдосконалення.Звернено увагу на специфічні культуру та активність у віртуальних соціальних мережах, які впливають на людину не менше, ніж соціальні мережі в житті. Наголошено, що, крім виконання комунікативної функції і володіння великим набором інструментів для самопрезентації особистості, отримання визнання і поваги, віртуальні соціальні мережі придатні й для реалізації культурних і культурно-просвітницьких проєктів. Успіх останніх залежить від глибокого й якісного моніторингу запитів і цінностей студентів, їхнього внутрішнього світу, кола інтересів, світоглядної позиції тощо.Впровадження у виховну роботу культурно-просвітницьких ресурсів, збагачених духовно-моральним змістом, покликані орієнтувати студентство на користування ресурсами мережі, що відповідають потребам і запитам високоосвіченої шляхетної людини. Це має стати початковим етапом у відмові від ресурсів, які пропагують шкідливі звички, жорстокість, несмак і нівелюють загальнолюдські духовні цінності. Висловлене сподівання, що надалі розвиток віртуальних соціальних мереж піде шляхом зростання інтенсивності інтелектуальної взаємодії, з’являться нові соціальні та культурні якості спільнот і вони стануть універсальною формою для одночасного вирішення всіх напрямків виховної та культурно-просвітницької роботи.
Явище англоварваризації в українському освітньо‑науковому середовищі: історія і сучасність
Authors: Фаріон Ірина
Published: June 2020

У статті вперше порушено проблему рецепції чужих мов та запозичень в історично-порівняльному та діахронно-синхронному контексті.Об’єктом дослідження є освітньо-наукова сфера (Міністерство освіти і науки України) на предмет уживання чужих мов та запозичень. Проаналізовано функціювання церковнослов’янської та латинської мов як найпоширеніших в українському просторі в часи пізнього Середньовіччя та Передмодерного часу з проєкцією на сьогоднішнє засилля англійської мови та англізмів в освітньо-науковій царині.Для відображення процесів надмірного і невмотивованого вживання англізмів запроваджено термін англоварваризація як мовно-суспільне і мовно-психологічне патологічне явище, що виникає на переламі історичних подій і сигналізує про відсутність ментального спротиву народу-мови до безпрецедентного потоку запозичень, які стають фактичною заміною своєї мови і творять із неї антикультурний масив підлеглої комунікації; це примітивне заперечення закону рівноваги чужих і питомих слів у фонетичній, словотвірній і граматичній адаптації та етнокультурна неспроможність називати власні поняття питомими словами.Як засвідчує історична ретроспектива, орієнтація на чужі мови як пріоритетні в освітній і науковій царинах — церковнослов’янська, латинська, грецька, польська — та масовані запозичення з них аж ніяк не зарадили українському національному самоусвідомленню та не спричинилися до відновлення втраченої Української Держави в її етнографічних межах. Зовсім навпаки — надмірне циркулювання чужих мов в культурно-політичному просторі України та їхня пріоритетність в освітньо-науковій царині призвело до понад кількастолітнього відставання українських державотворчих процесів порівняно з найближчими і дальшими сусідами. Орієнтація на чуже відчужила українців від самих себе.Історичний досвід циркулювання чужих мов в Україні та надмірних запозичень у своїй мові переконливо спростовує затерту тезу про позитивність явища мовного експансіонізму та глобалізму. Своя держава і нація, попри якнайширшу потребу знання чужих мов, потребує всеохопного та необмеженого функціювання державної мови. Хто не визначає першорядности свого, служитиме чужому.
Друковані та мережеві ЗМІ про творчість українських модельєрів
Authors: Галудзіна‑Горобець Вікторія
Published: June 2020

Стаття присвячена аналізу особливостей висвітлення дизайнерської творчості українських модельєрів у сучасних ЗМІ («День», «Дзеркало тижня», інтернет-видання). Досліджуються основні тенденції, аспекти і проблеми подання інформації про діяльність представників київської та львівської шкіл дизайну одягу (Олени Даць, Марії і Руслана Костельних, Олександра Гапчука, Діани Дорожкіної, Тетяни Островерхової і Віктора Завадського, Айни Гассе та інших).Розглянуто специфіку рецепції інформації про модельєрів та їхню продукцію в різних медіа, як друкованих, так і онлайн, спрямованих на показ різноманітних життєвих сфер, а також спеціалізованих виданнях.Внаслідок проведеного дослідження, зазначено, що в українських ЗМІ статті, присвячені дизайнерській творчості вітчизняних модельєрів, займають чималу частку. Зокрема, друковані ЗМІ (День», «Дзеркало тижня») подають тему дизайнерської творчості українських модельєрів досить лапідарно, здебільшого суто інформуючи реципієнта про колекцію чи показ мод. Натомість у спеціалізованих онлайн-ЗМІ ця тема є ключовою. Переваги друкованих засобів масової інформації полягають у більш глибокому аналізі нових колекцій, дизайнерських новацій, доповнення інформації експертними оцінками. Натомість, публікації в онлайн-медіа вирізняються високою мірою інтерактивності та використанням мультимедійних можливостей.У багатьох публікаціях констатується, що особливістю історизму в дизайні одягу межі ХХ–ХХІ ст. є формування на тлі спільності постмодерністських естетичних настанов оригінальних «авторських історичних концепцій» у творчості провідних майстрів.Характерною рисою пошуків дизайнерів стала інтертекстуальність, сприйняття історичного костюма крізь призму літератури, театру, кінематографу.Поширення у вітчизняному дизайні одягу кінця ХХ — початку ХХІ ст. набув історизм у його широкому розумінні, орієнтований на творчу інтерпретацію артефактів і костюмів позаісторичних народів і східних культур.
Термін «культурний геноцид» в українському мережевому просторі
Authors: Доценко Марія
Published: June 2020

Культурний геноцид має подвійний зв’язок із інформаційним простором: з одного боку, суспільство може бути проінформоване про злочин, з іншого — засоби масової інформації можуть стати інструментом скоєння злочину культурного геноциду. Праці, присвячені дослідженню різних форм кореляції між явищем культурного геноциду й інформаційним простором, наразі відсутні. Мета статті — виявити особливості використання терміна «культурний геноцид» в українському мережевому просторі. У ході дослідження було застосовано метод контент-аналізу з подальшою систематизацією, змістовим і порівняльним аналізом зафіксованого матеріалу.Термін «культурний геноцид» у прямому значенні вживається на позначення процесів, що відбуваються у Китаї щодо тибетців і уйгурів, з боку Туреччини та «Ісламської Держави» щодо курдів. Змістовний план фактажу можна класифікувати за трьома тематичними групами: порушення прав і свобод людини через її належність до певного етносу, знищення матеріальної культури, протидія політиці культурного геноциду. Зафіксовані матеріали здебільшого становлять запозичення-переклади з европейських і американських видань, де ця тема набула ширшого розголосу.У контексті відносин між Україною і Росією було зафіксовано одне вживання терміна «культурний геноцид» у належному для нього значенні.Виявлений обсяг випадків підміни понять і маніпуляцій у вживанні терміна «культурний геноцид» розділено на тематичні групи залежно від змісту, який пов’язують з культурним геноцидом. Цим терміном помилково номінують реформування і державну політику у сфері культури, недоліки містозабудови, процеси в шоу-бізнесі під час збройного конфлікту на Донбасі, а також відсутність свободи слова. Зафіксовано також маніпулятивні вживання терміна «культурний геноцид», запозичені із цитувань російських мовців: мовне питання, дії України в збройному конфлікті на Донбасі.
Гарантування національної інформаційної безпеки — в небезпеці
Authors: Чиж Іван
Published: June 2020

Стаття присвячена аналізу проєкту Закону України «Про внесення змін до деяких законодавчих актів України щодо забезпечення національної інформаційної безпеки та права на доступ до достовірної інформації». Документ оприлюднило для громадського обговорення 20 січня цього року Міністерство культури, молоді та спорту України.Ретельний аналіз закону фахівцями інформаційної галузі, а не чиновниками, пересвідчує в тому, що маємо справу з дивовижною сумішшю радянських підходів щодо боротьби з дисидентами, та сучасним інноваційним підходом заробити на штрафних санкціях із недобросовісних поширювачів інформації. Створення державним коштом штату Уповноваженого з перевірки діяльності ЗМІ містить у собі особливу небезпеку для свободи слова в Україні. Адже дослідити весь масив розповсюдженої інформації фізично не спроможна будь-яка структура. Тому на практиці виникне спокуса застосування вибіркового контролю лише за деякими незручними для влади поширювачами інформації.Прийняття зазначеного нормативно-правового акта призведе до невиправданого обмеження на поширення інформації та свободу слова, змусить вчергове давати принизливі пояснення у дорадчих органах Ради Европи щодо відповідності европейським стандартам і цінностям. Як наслідок — репутаційні втрати для України, як країни, котра хоча і з потугами торує шлях до цивілізованої Европи, у разі прийняття цього проєкту набагато перевищить шкоду від поширення будь-яких фейків, більшість з яких вмирає, не встигнувши народитися.

MEMORIES AND STORIES OF RETURNING HOME IN KHALED HOSSEINI'S NOVELS THE KITE RUNNER, AND THE MOUNTAINS ECHOED, A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS
Authors: Spirovska Elena
Published: June 2020

The aim of this paper is to analyze the acts of returning home, thinking about home and the significance of home and returning home in Khaled Hosseini’s novels The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and in the novel And the Mountains Echoed. As an American writer of Afghan origin, who left his home country as a child and moved to USA, Khaled Hosseini addresses the concepts of leaving home, immigration, and returning home in all of his published novels. In 2003, Khaled Hosseini published his first novel The Kite Runner. This story depicts the friendship between two Afghan boys,
whose relationship is broken by the Afghan civil war and the violence before and in the aftermath of the war. In this novel, returning home is an act of redemption on behalf of Amir, for the betrayal of his best friend Hassan. Hosseini’s second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, describes the relationship between two women and their lives under the Taliban regime. Mariam’s and Laila’s life stories are intertwined the moment Laila, forced by the circumstances in Kabul during the civil war and the loss of her parents and her
home, accepts Rasheed’s marriage proposal, becoming his second wife. The strained relationship between her and Mariam develops into close friendship, which ends the day Mariam kills Rasheed to protect Laila. Laila returns to Afghanistan and visits Mariam’s home. For her, this is an act of paying respect, of visiting a place where she can sense Mariam’s soul and her presence. And the Mountains Echoed presents the life stories of a number of characters, mutually connected in different ways. One of the sibling relationships described is the relationship between Pari and Abdullah who are separated as children. Pari, who leaves her home and is adopted, always feels the strange
sensation of being homesick and missing somebody or something in her life.
For Pari, who plans to travel to Afghanistan in attempt to find the answers to her questions, the act of returning home is exploring her own personality and heritage.
RIGHT THEN, LEFT NOW: CONSTRUCTING “MACEDONIA” IN THE MACEDONIAN DIASPORAS IN AUSTRALIA AND EUROPE
Authors: Takovski Aleksandar , Muhić Maja
Published: June 2020

In the XX century, especially after WWII, a great number of ethnic Macedonians have migrated to Australia and the US, while recently, after the 1991 dissolution of Yugoslavia, the direction of the migration influx has changed its course mainly towards Europe. While the first diaspora community was motivated by economic reasons drawing rural and urban citizens alike in pursuit of better life, the second wave of migration was led by political circumstances pushing mostly young educated people who failed to envisage decent life in the homeland. Hence there is a reason to believe that the two communities have different views and feelings of their homeland that underpin their construction of it. To identify the types of ‘Macedonia’ constructed by these two communities of migrants, and trace similarities and differences, this study will analyze on-line discourses on Macedonia produced by the members of the two diasporas. In so doing, we will be particularly interested in the meanings, attitudes, feelings and images the two communities ascribe to the homeland through the on-line interaction on their FB pages.

Estimation of informative and background signals ratio in the registration of magnetic fields of surface defects by magnetic measuring transducers
Authors: Nikolaev Yuriy L. , Akhmetshina Elina F. , Samorukov Aleksey A. , Chernova Aleksandra V.
Published: June 2020

Authors propose algorithms for quantitative ratio determining of informative and background components of the output signal of magnetic measuring transducers, used as a means of recording and measuring the parameters of locally distributed magnetic fields that occur over defective surface areas of the tested object in an applied permanent magnetic field. The method of separating the informative and background components based on the summation property and the deterministic nature of the distributions of the magnetic field intensity of the defect and the background magnetic field along the coordinate axis parallel to the controlled surface, and analysis of the topography of the distribution of magnetic field intensity is described. The approach to selection and experimental determination of estimated parameters characterizing the levels of informative and background signals is justified. Authors give the formulas for calculating the signal-to-background ratio based on the measured values of the estimated parameters applied to single magnet-static, differential magnet-static and differentiating magnetic measuring transducers taking into account the orientation direction (normal, tangential) of their sensitivity axis. The signal-to-background ratio calculation results are presented using an example of an analysis of the magnetic measuring transducers output signal when registering the distribution of the magnetic field intensity over the surface of a control sample with artificial defects of a given size. The comparative analysis of considered magnetic measuring transducers according to signal-to-background ratio is carried out. General recommendations to increase the value of the signal-to-background ratio parameter are given.
Method of real-time updating for voice templates in the Unified Biometric System
Authors: Savchenko Vladimir V. , Savchenko Andrey V.
Published: June 2020

The article was written in the development of ideas from a previous work of the authors [5]. The task of automated quality control of voice templates, which were registered and stored in the Unified Biometric System is considered. A solution to the problem of timely updating of the collected templates is proposed, since over time they lose their consumer qualities. A new indicator of the acoustic quality of voice templates in the Kullback–Leibler information metric was investigated and a method for measuring it at the moments when users contacting the system with service requests was proposed. An example of the practical implementation of the proposed method is shown. Using the author's software, a full-scale experiment was conducted, quantitative estimates of the period for updating voice templates were obtained, and recommendations were given on their practical application. The results can be used to develop new and modernize existing systems and technologies for automated quality control and updating of biometric personal data templates.

Harvest Techniques for Hops (Humulus lupulus)
Authors: Campbell Sean Michael , Pearson Brian J
Published: June 2020

Hops (Humulus lupulus) are perennial plants commonly harvested for their mature strobiles, also referred to as cones, which are primarily dried and used as a bittering agent and preservative in beer production. The two primary factors of harvest timing and harvest method can have large impacts on the quality and economics of the finished product. The decision of when and how to harvest is important and should rely upon growing-region-specific environmental conditions, physical observations of the cones, and the wants and needs of the individual producer. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Environmental Horticulture Department describes the primary methods used in hop harvesting, including field, indoor, and machine harvesting.

What is the Value of an Existing Forest Stand?
Authors: Susaeta Andres , Demers Chris
Published: June 2020

Traditionally, the land expectation value (LEV) formula, the present value of perpetual cash inflows of timber revenues minus the present value of cash outflows of costs, has been employed as the main indicator of the value of a forest investment. However, when a forest stand is already established, the LEV approach is incomplete because it applies only to bare land. Thus, it is necessary to determine the value of a property with an existing forest stand. This 3-page fact sheet written by Andres Susaeta and Chris Demers and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation provides the formula to determine the value of an already established forest stand at any stage of its development. This approach, known as the forest value formula, includes the value of the timber and the land. It can be used to compare the value of the stand when it is immediately harvested or when it is economically immature. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr423

Citrus Nursery Production Guide, Chapter 7: Seed and Budwood Production, Transport, and Conservation
Authors: Alferez Fernando , Bordas Mireia
Published: June 2020

The Florida citrus industry maintains a high demand for trees for replanting and resetting, as well as an interest in new releases of rootstocks and scions with improved disease and abiotic stress tolerances. One of the main constraints for liner production in great numbers is time. The consensus among citrus nurseries is that it takes two years to produce enough quantities of budwood to establish seed block trees when a new interesting rootstock is produced. This new 3-page article addresses the practices and challenges of producing seeds and budwood in Florida. This article, chapter 7 of the forthcoming Citrus Nursery Production Guide, was written by Fernando Alferez and Mireia Bordas and is a publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/hs1336

Authors: Mallinger Rachel , Yasalonis Anne , Knox Gary , Hobbs Wayne
Published: June 2020

Florida is home to approximately 315 species of native wild bees. These bees rely on flowers for survival; their diets consist exclusively of pollen and nectar harvested from flowers. Recently reported declines in some bee species have heightened awareness of bee conservation across the United States and motivated efforts to increase floral resources for bees. This 7-page fact sheet written by Rachel E. Mallinger, Wayne Hobbs, Anne Yasalonis, and Gary Knox and published by the UF/IFAS Entomology and Nematology Department shows how gardeners and land managers can aid in conservation efforts by planting flowers for bees in home or community gardens. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/IN1255

Anthropological studies of hereditary traits of nationalies of the Russian Empire
Authors: Fando R.
Published: June 2020

The article describes the anthropological works of the pre-revolutionary period, concerning the hereditary characteristics of the various ethnic groups. A lot of organizational work of anthropological expeditions was carried out by the Association of Natural History, Anthropology and Ethnography, organized in 1863. This association made it possible to describe the morphological characteristics of different nationalities, dwelling on the territory of the Russian Empire. By the beginning of the twentieth century a stable trend in the anthropological work was an appeal to the study of ethnic groups in terms of inheritance of morphological and physiological characteristics. The accumulated data on the variability of populations of different nationalities gathered with the help of anthropological science. This data prepared a fertile ground for the emergence of new areas of research at the crossroads of the interests of genetics, anthropology and evolutionary theory.

Published: June 2020

The paper deals with the history of development of views on the nature during the ancient era as well as the beginnings of museum studies in the context of creation natural history collections in Europe during classical antiquity. Based on the results of analysis of archeological evidences and historical documents it was revealed that institutions called “mouseion” (lat. thesaurus) common in both Ancient Greece and Rome cannot be equated with museums in the modern sense of the term. The establishment of museums as sociocultural institutions and the creation of natural history exhibitions in European countries were held during the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment and were related with major discoveries in the field of biology.

Dibenzoylhydrazines as Insect Growth Modulators: Topology-Based QSAR Modelling
Authors: Doucet J.P. , Doucet-Panaye A.
Published: June 2020

Dibenzoylhydrazines Xa-(C6H5)a-CO-N-(t-Bu)-NH-CO-(C6H5)b-Yb are efficient insect growth regulators with high activity and selectivity toward lepidopteran and coleopteran pests. For 123 congeneric molecules, a quantitative structure activity relationship model was built in the framework of the QSARINS package using 2D, Topology-based, PaDEL descriptors. Variable selection by GA-MLR allows building an efficient multilinear regression linking pEC50 values to nine structural variables. Robustness and quality of the model were carefully examined at various levels: data-fitting (recall), leave-one (or some) - out, internal and external validation (including random splitting), points not in depth investigated in previous works. Various Machine Learning approaches (Partial Least Squares Regression, Projection Pursuit Regression, Linear Support Vector Machine or Three Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network) confirm the validity of the analysis, giving highly consistent results of comparable quality, with only a slight advantage for the three-layer perceptron.

Authors: Rahaju Pudji , Kristiawan Anis Eko , Retnoningsih Endang
Published: June 2020

Introduction

Nasopharyngeal cancer is the most common malignant tumour of the head and neck that caused high mortality. Most of patients came for treatment in late stage with enlargement of the neck lymphnode. Cancer stem cells are characteristic of stemness such as self-renewal and survival that caused tumour metastasis and recurrence. CD44, SOX2 and CCR7 are marker for NPC stem cells.

Method

Nine new patients NPC, WHO type III, positive LMP1 were examined for volume of the neck lymphnode, CD44, SOX2 and CCR7 expression before and after treatment chemotherapy cisplatin based. Staging determined by AJCC/UICC 2010.

Result

The results of this study showed that all subjects have increased SOX2 and CCR7 expression after treatment with statistically negative correlation. CD44 did not altered before and after treatment and cannot be evaluate. Correlation between alteration of the increase SOX2 and CCR7 expression and reduction of the volume have shown statistically positive correlation.

Conclusion

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Cisplatin based eliminated progenitor cells but did not for cancer stem cells in NPC. This result indicates that NPC with higher cancer stem cells must be more attention forward potential resistance and recurrence of the tumour. Although the have received all Stanford treatment

Authors: Farrel  , Tobing Izry Naomi , Fahat  , Asnir Rizalina A , Adnan Adlin
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Introduction:
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an aggressive head and neck cancer, mostly associated with EBV infection. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is transcription factors that act as a tumor promoter, especially in inflammation-associated cancer. It also attracts angiogenesis. Microvessel Density (MVD) is widely used as an index for tumor angiogenesis. There have been no studies found about the correlation of NF-κB and MVD expression in NPC.
Objective:
The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of NF-κB and MVD expression that may affect targeted therapies in NPC patients
Methods:
A total of 30 paraffin blocks of NPC patients biopsies were assessed immunohistochemically for NF-κB expression and MVD. Data were analyzed using the Spearman's nonparametric test to assess the correlation between NF-κB expression and MVD.
Results:
Positive NF-κB expression was found in 22 (73.33%) patients and negative in 8 (26.67%) patients. High MVD expression in 17 (56.67%) patients and low MVD expression in 13 (43.33%) patients. There was no significant correlation found between NF-κB and MVD.
Conclusion:
This study has not confirmed any correlation between NF-κB and MVD. Further research needs to be done to get a better assessment on nuclear proliferation rates and tumor-related angiogenesis in NPC.
