Authors: Hussein Haliz , Abdullah Khairi , Asady Asaad
Published: June 2023

Background: Workers in cardiac catheterization centers that employ X-rays may be exposed to low quantities of ionizing radiation for long periods of time, causing damage to human cells and tissues. Blood cell composition testing is an important monitoring technique in the typical diagnostic examination. Objectives: The present study has been designed to evaluate Ionizing radiation's impact on the hematological parameters of occupational exposure in a cardiac catheterization lab at Azadi teaching hospital in Duhok city of Iraq. Methods: The study involved 40 hospital employees working in medical radiation centers who have been exposed to lower doses of ionizing radiation during Radiotherapy or diagnostic and the 32 unexposed workers as control. The correlation between the total dose and the hematological indices of exposed workers is examined using a bivariate regression analysis program. Results: The results looked to be significantly different with (p<0.05) compared to the respective controls in all blood parameters. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference (p>0.05) in Mean corpuscular volume, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, White blood cells, and Lymphocytes values obtained as compared with the control. Conclusions: The study found that almost some hematological parameters are affected by radiation. Further research should incorporate a variety of other independent factors such as (chromosomal aberrations and genetic polymorphisms) to study further low-dose radiation's long-term effects on personnel who were exposed to it.
Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria about a succcessful evolution case
Authors: Hernandez Diana , Isaac Nicolle , Reyes Daniela , Correa Carolina , Contreras Elkin
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Congenital erythropoietic porphyria is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disease. Caused by a deficiency of the enzymatic activity of uroporphyrinogen synthetase III (UROS), collect accumulation of porphyrins of the type I isomer and alterations in the synthesis of the heme group, responsible for the clinical manifestations, mainly cutaneous, hematological, ophthalmic and bone. Diagnosis is based on elevated levels of type I uroporphyrinogen in urine and fecal coproporphyrinogen and clinical findings.

CLINICAL CASE: This is a 31-year-old female patient who presented since childhood, multiple hyper and hypopigmented macules both on the back of the hands and on the face, slight destruction of the nasal cartilage, areas of scarring and perioral retraction, sclerodermiform changes, erythrodontia and marked retraction of the phalanges, who was diagnosed with congenital hematopoietic porphyria, who began conservative treatment, achieving an adequate evolution and clinical stability.

CONCLUSIONS: It is important to know the different manifestations of this disease to show a prompt diagnosis and avoid known progression, since despite being a rare disease, it can have high morbidity in untreated patients.

Authors: Putri Maidina , Hasibuan Ustifina
Published: June 2023

Several causes of postpartum hemorrhage include: uterine atony, trauma and lacerations, placental retention, and thrombophilia. Losing a lot of blood causes signs of shock, namely paleness, low blood pressure, fast and small pulse, cold extremities, and so on. The purpose of this research is to make senduduk leaves as a medical ingredient to treat postpartum hemorrhage that occurs due to pathological labor conditions that do not have side effects. The research method used an analytic experimental approach with a post-test only with control group design. The experimental group and the control group were not randomly selected. The experimental class received treatment while the control class did not receive treatment. The research was conducted at the Murniati Maternity Clinic, Asahan District. The results of the analysis showed that the value of the risk of postpartum hemorrhage in the intervention group did not experience bleeding, 8 respondents or equal to (80%). Most of the risk values for postpartum hemorrhage in the control group experienced bleeding, as many as 7 respondents or (70%). There is an influence of natural pigment production technology using senduduk leaves in preventing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage at the Murniati Maternity Clinic in 2022 with p = 0.035, (<0.05).

Authors: Engin Sami , Akbas Aytac , Kizilkaya Volkan
Published: June 2023

Introduction: This study aims to compare the efficacy of ADCON-L and free fat graft used to prevent epidural fibrosis in the experimental laminectomy model in rabbits.
Materials and Methods: Thirty adult male New Zealand-type white rabbits weighing 2500-3000 grams were used. Three groups of ten were formed. New subjects and all subjects who replaced subjects who died during the study and follow-up period were sacrificed at the end of the 12th week. Group 1 was determined as the control group. Free fat grafts were placed into the laminectomy areas in group 2. In group 3, ADCON-L was injected into the surgical area. Subjects were sacrificed at week 12. After decalcification, laminectomy zones were taken into routine tissue follow-up for histopathological examination.
Results: When group-1 and group-3 were compared regarding fibroblastic proliferation, there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.001). When group-2 and group-3 were compared, it was determined that fibroblastic proliferation was statistically higher in group-2 (p<0.001). When group-1 and group-3 were compared in terms of collagen amount, the amount of collagen in group-3 was significantly less (p<0.001). When the groups were evaluated statistically regarding the adhesion of the scar tissue to the dura, there was a significant difference between group-1 and group-2 (p<0.01). Adhesion was significantly less in group-3 compared to group-2 (p<0.001).
Conclusion: We concluded that ADCON-L did not cause FBS syndrome. So, ADCON-L is more successful than free fat graft in the prevention of epidural fibrosis after laminectomy in spinal surgery.
A Guide to Uncertainty and Global Sensitivity Analysis in Lumped-Parameter Models of the Cardiovascular System
Authors: Gul Raheem , Shahzad Aamir , Muhammad Jawwad Riaz Syed
Published: June 2023

In this paper, a general 5-steps framework of uncertainty analysis (UA) and sensitivity analysis (SA) in lumped parameter models of the cardiovascular system (partial or complete) is presented. In order to conduct proper UA and SA, a high number of model simulations is required. Therefore, lumped parameter (0D) models of the cardiovascular system (CVS) are suitable for UA and SA as compared to high or multi-dimensional models (3D,2D,1D). As an example, a linear elastic lumped-parameter model of arm arteries is considered and a 5-steps framework is applied to quantify the impact of input parameters on output variables. The framework uses the method of Sobol which is easy to implement and computationally efficient as compared to other methods, like FAST, eFAST, Sparse grid method, etc. Additionally, the framework algorithm could be applied on all types of compartment models present in different fields of science and technology.
Radiation Effects on Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer of the Power Law Fluid Over a Stretching Cylinder with Convective Boundary Conditions
Authors: Shahzad Azeem , Zafar Areeba , Shaiq Shakil , Naseem Tahir
Published: June 2023

In this work, a power law fluid model is used to examine the boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics over an unsteady horizontal stretching cylinder under the influence of convective boundary conditions. It is presumed that partial slip conditions exist and that the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid is a function of temperature at the boundary. Through similarity transformation, the coupled partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are then resolved in MATLAB with BVP4C. By contrasting the computed findings with the published results, the validity of the results is proven. The effects of different parameters on the temperature and velocity profiles are carefully looked at and analysed. As the Eckert number increases, the thermal boundary layer thickens. All of the physical factors that affect the local Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient have been studied carefully and are shown in the tables.

Published: June 2023

Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk melihat pembangunan produktivitas kerja di Indonesia melalui agile organization perspektif al-Qur’an. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kepustakaan (library research) karena sumber datanya dari berbagai literatur seperti: al-Qur’an, tafsir al-Qur’an, jurnal-jurnal, dan buku mengenai produktivitas kerja yang dihubungkan dengan sistem kerja kontemporer (agile organization) dan dikaji menurut perspektif al-Qur’an. Hasil pembahasan bahwa Angka produktivitas di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah, dilihat dari jumlah peningkatan jumlah penduduk bekerja dan penurunan angka pengangguran sejauh ini belum bisa mengcover penurunan angka kemiskinan. Peningkatan garis kemiskinan tersebut berarti menunjukkan nilai tekun atau jiwa produktivitas kerja Indonesia masih belum tinggi. Sementara ajaran Islam sangat komprehensif dalam mengatur aktivitas umatnya. Di samping memberikan kebebasan dalam melakukan suatu aktivitas juga memberikan batasan dalam pelaksanaannya. Sehingga dengan ada keduanya tercipta suatu keseimbangan. Sistem agile organization pada dasarnya sudah selaras dengan ajaran Islam (al-Qur’an) yakni jalinan kerjasama atau ta’awun yang sejatinya sudah ada sejak lama.

The position of business actors and consumers often becomes unequal. Consumers are often the object of business activity to get the maximum profit by business actors and in the end the consumer becomes the aggrieved party. Cases of business actors harming consumers are found in BPSK Garut Regency Decision Number 18/Pdt.S-Brg/BPSK-GRT/IX/2020 regarding the sale of expired vegetable cheese wafers at the Asia Garut Department Store. In this case, there were legal issues regarding BPSK's authority and the judge's considerations in deciding compensation. The research objective is to determine whether BPSK has the authority to decide this case; and analyzing the judges' considerations in the BPSK Decision of Garut Regency Number 18/Pdt.S-Brg/BPSK-GRT/IX/2020 in deciding compensation. This study uses research methods with a normative juridical approach based on applicable legal concepts and theories. Based on the research results, it can be concluded 2 (two) things. First, the settlement process in this case has not provided legal certainty because the choice of dispute resolution method is directly determined by the Garut Regency BPSK Assembly and not based on the agreement of the parties to the dispute and this case should have been tried at the District Court after mediation failed. Second, the Garut Regency BSPK Assembly has not been right in deciding on compensation because the Assembly has confused the duties and responsibilities of producers and supermarkets and does not understand the intent of Article 52 letter (k) of the Consumer Protection Act.

Authors: Mamand Dyari Mustafa , Azeez Yousif Hussein , Qadr Hiwa Mohammad
Published: June 2023

Calculations using density functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo methods were performed on 2-methylbenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-aminobenzimidazole, benzotriazole, and benzimidazole to determine their corrosion inhibition efficiency. The molecular structure was optimized geometrically using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6– 311 G++(d,p) and b2plypd3/aug-cc-pvdz basis set level in protonated and non-protonated species in gas and water. In this study, HOMO, LUMO, bandgap, ionization energy, electronegativity, hardness, softness, electrophilicity and nucleophilicity, electron transfer, back donation energy and condensed Fukui indices are used to assess a molecule's local reactivity. Theoretical investigations can precisely establish the geometrical dimensions of a molecule and correctly explain the quantum properties of inhibitors. The mechanism of interaction between inhibitors and metal surfaces in a specified molecule is studied using molecular dynamics. The benzimidazole functional groups absorbed energy linearly on metal surfaces, with quantum characteristics determined using density functional theory and an ab initio technique. Importantly, the findings of this conceptual model are consistent with the corrosion inhibition efficiency of earlier experimental investigations.

Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) is an index of social accountability disclosure whose indicators refer to Islamic ethical principles. Islamic banking operates by sharia principles. Therefore the disclosure of ISR in Islamic banking must be within the corridors of Islamic theology. This study uses the E-Views software to identify the factors that influence the level of exposure to Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) in Islamic banking in Indonesia. The factors examined in this study are company performance and company size towards Islamic Social Reporting. The results of this study show that financial performance proxied by ROA has no effect on ISR with a calculated T value of 1.338357, and financial performance proxied by NPF has no impact on Islamic Social Reporting with an estimated T value of 1.405019. Company size is a proxy for the Size that affects Islamic Social Reporting, with a T-test result of 3.077773 <2.03693. The results of the F test obtained a value of 0.021230 <0.05, which means that the variables NPF, ROA, and Size together influence the Islamic Social Reporting of Islamic Banks in Indonesia for the 2016-2020 period.

In view of broadening the genetic base of bamboo resources and looking for alternative bamboo species that can grow in mid altitude areas where indigenous species are not growing in Ethiopia, different introduced bamboo species were tested for their adaptability and growth performance in different areas across the country. Data on ecological and climatic conditions of testing sites and corresponding growth in terms of diameter, height and density of the species were assessed; growth in Ethiopia was compared with growth of the species in their place of origin, i.e. South, Southeast and Tropical Asia. Accordingly, Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Bambusa vulgaris and Dendrocalamus giganteus were found to have similar diameter and height growth while Dendrocalamus membranaceus showed lower values in Ethiopia when compared to growth in its origin. The species-site matching effort of the species within Ethiopia in this regard, is conducted based on similarity in altitude and climatic conditions (rainfall, temperature) of experimental sites to other sites across the country. All the species, except B. bambos, perform well in Oromia, Amhara, SNNP and Tigray regions. All species, except D. gigantues. B. balcoa and B.bambos performed well in Benishangul-Gumuz region. Research on adaptability study needs to be extended in other regions of Ethiopia.
HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF INFORMATIZATION OF THE CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING CHAMBER OF MOSCOW (1994–2014)
Authors: Orlov Stepan  Vladimirovich
Published: June 2023

Th e use of information resources is a promising area of activity of state control and accounting bodies. Nowadays an eff ective budget control and analysis of socio-economic development of the region are impossible without special tools to reduce the time spent on data processing. Th e article deals with historical aspects of informatization of the Control and Accounting Chamber of Moscow and examines the formation of its information and analytical system as an example of automation of the activity of the external fi nancial control institu-tion. Th e author analyzes the Chamber’s annual reports in 1997–2014. He employs its local acts and other documents refl ecting the process of automation of control practice. Th e study of these documents, as well as federal and Moscow legislation, normative legal acts of the Government and mayor of Moscow, and the Moscow City Duma made it possible to identify the features of the Chamber’s informatiza-tion processes from 1994 to 2014, including the main stages in the creation of the Chamber’s information and communication technology infrastructure, composi-tion and main functions of the Chamber’s information and analytical system as a model for interaction with Moscow public authorities and governmental agen-cies. Previously the issues of the history of the Chamber’s informatization had not been specifi cally examined, while a comprehensive picture of the development of new management technologies, which have been introduced in the practice of the executive and legislative authorities of Moscow since the end of the twentieth century, cannot be provided without a special focus on these topics. Consideration of this aspect of development of control and counting functions in the capital of Russia in the post-Soviet period will supplement the currently available knowl-edge about the history of such activity in the past and also will help to identify traditions and innovations in the domestic management practices and thus trace techniques, which are reintroduced in an optimized form at each new stage of development of country and society.
TWO LEAVES WITH THE OLD TESTAMENT SCENES IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT STUDIES OF MODELS AND COPYING PROCESSES IN RHENO-MOSAN ART OF THE 12th CENTURY
Authors: Sycheva Yulia Andreevna
Published: June 2023

Th e Library of the University of Liege (Université de Liège. Biblio-thèque, Ms. 2613) and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (Victoria and Albert Museum, Ms. 413) have two leaves created c. 1150–1170 and produced in the Meuse region. Although the question of the purpose of the leaves is under discussion, these two oeuvres of Romanesque book illumination have not yet received special scholarly attention. Th e leaves have a similar layout: each side contains two compositions based on stories from the Book of Genesis, and there are no inscriptions or biblical quotations. Th e Old Testament episodes included in the pictorial program of the leaves do not form a consistent narrative cycle. Th us, the scenes of the sacrifi ce by Cain and Abel and the murder of Abel by Cain in the leaf from the Victoria and Albert Museum are followed by an episode of the meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek. Th e leaf from Liège begins with the scene of the sacrifi ce of Isaac. Th e cycle does not contain a number of scenes with a fairly consistent iconographic tradition (for example, the story of Noah). Such narrative heterogeneity can be interpreted through the prism of the purpose of the pictorial series. Th e Sacrifi ce of Abel, the Gift s of Melchizedek and the Sacrifi ce of Isaac by Abraham are mentioned in the Eucharistic Canon of the Sacramentary of Pope Gelasius I and have been used in iconographic programs since the era of early Christianity as the main liturgical prototypes. Th e back of the leaf from the Library of the University of Liege contains another subject which alludes to the typological parallelism of the Testaments – the Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh by Jacob. Th e designated subjects can be found in a number of contemporaneous works of decorative and applied arts and book miniatures of the Rhine-Meuse region, which are compiled on the basis of typological logic in the arrangement of stories. Th e selection of stories, as well as the stylistic and iconographic analy-sis of the range of oeuvres with typological iconography, suggests that the leaves could have been fragments of a model book and probably served as models in the process of the spreading of the compositional and iconographic techniques which were characteristic of the Rhine-Meuse region.
IMPERIAL LETTERS TO THE DON (1735–1739): ON THE STATUS OF THE DON COSSACK HOST
Authors: Kruglova Tatiana Aleksandrovna
Published: June 2023

It is a commonplace statement of modern historiography that aft er the transfer of the Don Cossack Host from the jurisdiction of the Ambas-sadorial Prikaz to the Military Collegium in 1721 it completely lost its autonomy. In recent years, however, such an assessment of the infl uence of the Emperor’s Edict of 3 March 1721 on the position of the Don Cossacks is reconsidered. Th eir status in the post-Petrine period can be clarifi ed through the study of personal letters of the Russian autocrats to the Don. Th e research aims to show Empress Anna Ioannovna’s attitude to the Don Cossacks on the basis of the letters she sent during the Russian-Turkish war (1735–1739). Th e letters as a form of cor-respondence between the supreme power and the Don Cossacks’ community are examined in the context of the historical-typological approach to the study of historical sources, which involves the formulaic analysis. Th e article deals with the following topics: the place of letters in the system of legislative and clerical materials of the Russian state and the Russian Empire, the requirements to the letters, established by Peter I in the course of his reforms of state administration, the procedure of creation of letters in the personal offi ce of the Empress (Cabinet of Ministers) and the Senate, and peculiarities of letters, sent to the Don. Th e research of the imperial letters of 1735–1739 leads to the conclusion that during this period the Don Cossack Host was in a state of “special subjection”: on the one hand, like during the rule of Peter the Great, it was directly subordinated to the autocrat, while enjoying at the same time a certain degree of independence, on the other hand, it received letters of diplomatic character from Anna Ioan-novna. Th e letters of 1735–1739 reveal the principle of mutual benefi t as the basis of relations between the Russian supreme power and the Don Cossack Host. Th is principle was declared inviolable not only in Anna Ioannovna’s correspondence, but also earlier, in the Tsar’s letters in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Radical changes in relations between Russian authorities and the Don Cossack Host started in the 1770s.
THE SEMINAR AS A NEW PHENOMENON AT THE FACULTY OF HISTORY AND PHILOLOGY OF MOSCOW UNIVERSITY IN THE 1860s — EARLY 1870s
Authors: Tsygankov Dmitriy Andreevich
Published: June 2023

Th e emergence of seminars at the Faculty of History and Philology at Moscow University was a response to discussions of higher education reform in the era of the Great Reforms, when the education of students at universities was found too passive. At this time, ideologues of higher education reform de-manded that monologue lectures be supplemented with written students’ papers, which should develop their research skills and serve as a basis for communica-tion with their professors. Aft er 1862, when over a hundred young scholars were sent abroad for several years under the program of Minister of Public Instruction A.V. Golovnin, a new generation of researchers and teachers was introduced to practical studies at German universities. Th ose who had been abroad started to actively use the term seminar to refer to a new kind of practical training. By the mid-1860s, seminars appeared at Moscow University as teaching units for phi-lologists to train grammar school teachers of classical languages, and as a type of practical classes for historians, the purpose of which was to write research papers. Philologist P.M. Leontiev was one of the originators of philological seminars at Moscow University. He developed such forms of classes at the faculty as were practiced by S.P. Shevyrev in the 1850s, while V.I. Guerrier established the semi-nar as a new form of research activity for historians. It was important for him that students who chose to major in history should write papers on this discipline. While students received scholarships for their work in the philological seminars, participation in historical seminars was their personal initiative. Further develop-ment of the new form of classes was associated with attempts to divide the Faculty of History and Philology into two specializations. Offi cially, historians’ seminars became part of the faculty’s curriculum only aft er implementation of the charter of 1884.
DEBATE “ON SOCIALISM” IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM IN 1935
Authors: Susloparova Elena Alekseevna
Published: June 2023

Th e author focuses on a one-of-a-kind debate “On Socialism”, which took place in the House of Lords of the British Parliament in the spring of 1935. For a long time, the upper chamber served as a barrier to the implementa-tion of bold social and political legislation. Until the beginning of the 20th century socialists had never been represented in the Parliament. As the Labor Party came into political spotlight and gradually strengthened its positions in the 1920s–1930s, the House of Lords was forced to adapt its composition to changing reali-ties. In 1924, the Labor faction was formed here for the fi rst time. A decade later, the Lords were prepared to seriously discuss the merits and demerits of the social-ist system. Th e article analyzes both the main arguments of the Laborites, who promoted transition to a new social system, and the theses put forward by Con-servatives and Liberals, supporters of the capitalist system. Particular emphasis is placed on the coverage and feedback which the discussion held in Westminster received on the pages of the British press of various political stances. Th e author comes to the conclusion that the arguments put forward by both supporters and opponents of socialism were in many respects similar to the theses that appeared in the course of the discussion in the Lower house of the UK Parliament in 1923. Th is discussion had a similar nature and was the fi rst of this kind in the British history. At the same time, the analyzed debate which took place in the House of Lords more than a decade later, bore an unmistakable imprint of a new era. Th e “Great Depression” of 1929–1933 had an important impact on the worldview of the generation, as it strengthened the conviction of left -wing politicians that capitalism was not the subject to improvement. Opponents of socialism, on the contrary, argued that a socialist future for Britain was not only economically un-tenable, but also dangerous, and incompatible with the unique English national character, based on individualism.

Authors: Ramos Ivone Berenice dos Santos

O presente artigo científico tem como alvo demonstrar a importância da neuroeducação como estratégia pedagógica para estudantes inseridos na primeira infância, ou seja, na educação infantil. Trata-se de uma investigação bibliográfica de vertente qualitativa que teve como estreitamento a análise de documentos como metodologia de coleta de informações. É manifesto que um dos mais extraordinários momentos da educação é a Educação Infantil, que é o primeiro espaço em que a criança estuda e estabelece afinidades com seu ambiente e lhe permite assumir as dificuldades de sua idade e alvitrar soluções. Posto isso, a neuroeducação abrolha como tática pedagógica nos procedimentos de ensino e aprendizagem e como ambiente de desenvolvimento integral, uma vez que a neuroplasticidade cerebral admite que conhecimentos sejam transformados em informação a partir da aprendizagem. Pode-se finalizar, a partir das fases de aprendizagem próprias da neuroeducação, que há uma analogia entre as estruturas mentais do pensamento e os métodos de consolidação do conhecimento.

The paper examines the current state and development of the Bulgarian economy in 2021 and early 2022. The main sectors of the economy (real, fiscal, foreign, and financial) are examined, and the labour market is analysed. We assess the current policies being implemented in Bulgaria, considering regional and global developments and trends. Based on specific conclusions, we make recommendations for mitigating high-risk price dynamics, preserving incomes and employment, and ensuring fiscal stability. Employing a structural macroeconomic model, a reasoned medium-run macroeconomic scenario is proposed, reflecting different assumptions about both the dynamics of the external economic environment and the expected economic policies. The analysis of the macroeconomic situation and projections for the development of the Bulgarian economy are based on key factors such as accelerating inflation, uncertainties surrounding the epidemic situation caused by COVID-19, geopolitical turbulences in the region, and the expected acceleration of investment activity through the implementation of the projects of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
