Authors: Rajib Mallik  
Published: December 2019

Agricultural regulated markets are immensely important for economic growth of a state and as well as for a country. In many India states, Government has taken several steps to streamline the regulated market system; however, improper functioning of most of the regulated markets and other handicaps has not changed the conditions noticeably. Yet, a major part of rural markets are working outside the frame of regulated market. As a matter of fact, many Indian states are mostly dominated by private traders causing a hassle in the overall development of the regulated markets. To improve the prevailing conditions of these markets, a study on market regulation becomes very essential. The paper overviewed the present status, growth and development, overall performances, problems and prospects of the regulated markets of Tripura. It provides few guidelines for the primary producers to get the best possible returns from the agricultural regulated markets. An outline of their (regulated markets) future role in 21st Century has also discussed in this paper.

Published: December 2019

Supply Chain Management memiliki dasar semangat kolaborasi baik internal maupun eksternal. Sebelum melakukan kolaborasi dengan pihak eksternal, suatu perusahaan harus memiliki internal kolaborasi yang baik terlebih dahulu karena kolaborasi internal yang baik merupakan dasar bagaimana kolaborasi eksternal nantinya terbangun. Penelitian ini mengambil studi kasus di PT X yang merupakan perusahaan manufaktur wiring harness atau perakitan kabel. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis dan memberikan usulan peningkatan internal supply chain collaboration index. Pengambilan data dilakukan dari bulan Februari hingga April 2019. Data diambil menggunakan kuesioner dimana kuesioner tersebut disusun berdasarkan teori, tugas dan wewenang setiap divisi dan wawancara. Kuesioner disebarkan kepada setiap divisi di PT X. Data yang diperoleh dari kuesioner diolah untuk mendapatkan index dari setiap variabel kolaborasi dan dilakukan perhitungan collaboration index. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa range nilai collaboration index PT X sudah yaitu 3,66 hingga 4,94, sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa hubungan kolaborasi di PT X sudah baik. Akan tetapi, masih terdapat hubungan kolaborasi yang kurang sesuai sehingga diberikan beberapa usulan agarhubungan kolaborasi bisa meningkat.

Authors: Khorolsky M. D. , Semenova I. S. , Melnikova E. V. , Olefir Yu. V. 
Published: December 2019

Short tandem repeat analysis (STR) is a well-established international method of authentication and genetic stability testing of cell lines (CLs). Therefore, the development and introduction of this method into routine practice of cell banks and cell culture collections is a pressing concern. In addition, the expansion of the field of cell-line based biomedical cell products (BСPs) necessitates the implementation of STR as a tool of identification testing during quality control. The State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation does not require mandatory use of STR for cell line identification, while other countries have been using this method for cell line quality control for about a decade. The use of identified CLs in medical practice will ensure the efficacy and safety of BCPs.The aim of the study was to assess the possibility of using STR analysis for authentication and genetic stability testing of CLs using U937, WISH, WIL2-S, NK-92, and Jurkat Clone E6-1 CLs as examples.Materials and me­thods: the following human CLs were used in the study: U937 (ECACC), WISH (ATCC), WIL2S (ATCC), NK-92 (ATCC), and Jurkat Clone E6-1 (ATCC). The CL allelic profiles were determined by STR using the COrDIS Plus kit (Gordiz, Russia). The electrophoretic separation was performed using a Genetic Analyzer 3500 Series instrument. The data provided on the websites of the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures and American Type Culture Collection were used to compare the CL profiles.Results: the AuthentiFiler PCR Amplification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and the GenePrint 10 System (Promega Corporation, USA) intended for CL authentication by STR were compared with the characteristics of the COrDIS plus kit (Gordiz, Russia). The results of the comparison demonstrated that the COrDIS plus kit includes all the loci found in the foreign kits, as well as the loci recommended by the International Cell Line Authentication Committee. The U-937, WIL2S, and NK-92 CLs demonstrated genetic identity with the reference profiles available on the websites of the international collections. The Jurkat Clone E6-1 CL was found to be genetically instable due to the loss of the amelogenin gene.Conclusions: it was demonstrated by the examples of U937, WISH, WIL2-S, NK-92, and Jurkat Clone E6-1 CLs that STR and the COrDIS plus kit could be used for authentication and genetic stability testing. The obtained results suggest the feasibility of using the COrDIS plus kit for the analysis of CLs used in BCPs, for BCP quality control, and biomedical research.

Published: December 2019

For the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) and/or the non-competitive inhibitor of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA receptors) memantine are currently used. The administration of these drugs can help temporarily improve or stabilize memory impairments and other cognitive functions, regress behavioral disorders, reduce the patient’s dependence on others, but at the same time can lead to the development of adverse drug reactions. The aim of this study was to analyze the information on the safety of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) and the non-competitive inhibitor of NMDA receptors used to treat dementia. It was shown that stimulation of cholinergic receptors can lead to adverse drug reactions as contraction and narrowing of the pupil (miosis), an increase in lens curvature, accommodation spasm (visual impairment and an increased risk of falls), a decrease in heart rate (bradycardia) and inhibition of conduction of impulses through the conducting system heart, increased tone of the bronchi, gastrointestinal tract, gall and bladder, decreased tone of the sphincters of the digestive tract and bladder, increased secretion of exocrine and glands of the stomach, agitation, confusion. Blockade of NMDA receptors due to impairment of glutamate metabolism in the central nervous system may be the cause of neurotoxicity of NMDA receptor antagonists, and also causes dizziness, feeling of tiredness, hallucinations, drowsiness, and confusion. In case of development of adverse reactions, if possible, it is necessary to stop using the drug or reduce its dose, in case of an overdose or other need, prescribe symptomatic therapy. Information on the safety of cholinesterase inhibitors and NMDA receptor antagonists presented in the article is of practical importance for healthcare professionals, as it allows them to assess the possible risks associated with the use of drugs of these groups more accurately. In addition, the information can be used to optimize and individualize the pharmacotherapy regimens for patients with dementia, including the development of domestic protocols for the deprescribing of drugs (evidence-based practice of withdrawal, replacement or gradual dose reduction) in the elderly.
Identification and Evaluation of Safety Signals of Drugs Currently under Development Using a Limited Data Set
Authors: Romanov B. K. , Zykova N. I. , Alyautdin R. N. , Olefir Yu. V. 
Published: December 2019

A recent increase in the number of safety signals of varying quality being submitted to the national and industry databases calls for the development of formalized search and analysis algorithms. The aim of the study was to develop an approach to identification and evaluation of safety signals in the database of an expert institution containing notifications of serious adverse events (SAE) that occurred during clinical trials. A specific feature of this approach is that it can be used in limited databases which, unlike international databases containing millions of reports (VigiBase, EudraVigilance), preclude the use of statistical methods for measurement of disproportionality. The proposed approach consists in evaluation of several criteria: two discriminatory ones (the geographic location of the clinical trial site and the type of report — whether it belongs to clinical trial documents other than the CIOMS form), and four expert criteria (whether a serious adverse event is a serious adverse reaction, whether the serious adverse reaction is predictable or not, the degree of reliability of the cause-effect relationship, and the benefit-risk ratio). The application of this approach resulted in the development of the «Signals» module of the expert institution’s SAE database. The «Signals» module is designed to calculate the rating of safety signals which can be used for conclusive identification and management of safety signals, and provides basis for scientifically well-grounded expert decisions on the need for administrative action on the clinical trial or its further monitoring. The developed approach can be used in the industry, national, and international pre- and postauthorization pharmacovigilance databases.

Acculturating Stress, Language Anxiety and Procrastination of International Students in the Academic Settings
Authors: Засєкіна Лариса , Журавльова Олена 
Published: December 2019

Objectives. The aim of the study is to examine the procrastination among international students in academic settings in Ukraine.
Materials & Methods. The 41 participants were recruited from two national universities in Volyn oblast who came from African countries to obtain higher education in Ukraine. Procrastination Scale, Acculturative Stress Scale, Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale were applied in the research.
Results. Evidence consistently suggests that there are no gender differences in procrastination, acculturating stress, and language anxiety. However, a weak negative correlation between procrastination and age of the participants was found (r=-0.26 p<0.05). It is possible to hypothesise that academic procrastination is less likely to occur in mature age, being replaced by the procrastination in other life domains. The findings of multiple regression suggest that acculturative stress and language anxiety taken together predict procrastination of the international students (R2 = 0.469, F (4, 37) = 2.741, p=0.015). However, amongst other predictors only fear of negative evaluation as a separate scale of language anxiety is an independent robust predictor of procrastination. One unanticipated finding was that accultuarion is not a significant moderator of the interaction between fear of negative evaluation and procrastination. Therefore, international students’ procrastination is predicted by rather social anxiety of being evaluated than cultural settings and language anxiety per se. This inference is in line with the evidence that test anxiety and communication apprehension are not independent significant predictors of procrastination.
Conclusion. The current study showed that the main predictor of procrastination is linked to social anxiety which might be triggered by new cultural and academic settings and, therefore, transformed into procrastination. However, with a small sample size which represents only African students, caution must be applied, as the findings might not be extrapolated for the international students from other countries. Further studies, which take these limitations into account, will need to be undertaken.
Acquisition of Case System in Romani Language
Authors: Кючуков Христо 
Published: December 2019

Introduction. The paper presents observations of the author on acquisition of case markers in the Romani language of two Roma children from Bulgaria. This is the first study ever done on acquisition of case system of Romani by children in their natural environment. The study is done in one of the biggest Roma settlement of Bulgaria in the city of Sofia. Romani being a new-Indian language has some features from the Indian languages but also adapted some features from some European languages. It has the ability to express one and the same idea either with a preposition or with a case marker.
Methods. The author uses the longitudinal observation of the children in their natural environment, where a woman – representative of the community, was trained to audio record the interviews between parents, family members, community members and the children. This method is known from other studies in field of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics (Labov, 1973)
Results. The study is investigating what is used more frequently by the children - prepositions or case markers. For this purpose, the utterances of the parents and the children with case markers and with the prepositions have been analyzed. It was found that in the age between 1 to 2 parents and respectively their children use more case markers. In the age from 2 to 3 children use more prepositions. It seems that Roma children need more experience with the language in order to connect the case marker with the function of the preposition in the Romani language.
