Balancing power and solidarity through indirectness: A case study of Russian and Kazakh meeting chairs
Authors: Kulbayeva Aisulu 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe study combines Brown and Levinson’s (1987) work on politeness techniques and Tannen’s (1981, 1993) work on indirectness and power-solidarity dynamics to extend research on workplace discourse. I examine how two female Russian-speaking chairs (one of Russian and another of Kazakh origin) differently perform face-threatening acts (FTAs) of criticisms and directives during teacher meetings at a community college in Kazakhstan. Specifically, the Russian chair employs fewer politeness techniques (e. g., hedging with “please”), issuing criticisms and orders with no mitigation, thereby foregrounding the power asymmetry within the group. The lack of mitigation surfaces through explicit usage of pronouns (“I” vs. “you”); action verbs inflected for the 2nd person plural and imperative mood; words with a negative and moral connotation; and phonological modifications for emphasis. Differently, the Kazakh chair utilizes a larger number of politeness techniques, including hedging (e. g., “please”, “unfortunately”), impersonalizing negative actions (through indefinite pronouns and agentless verbs), and manipulating of tense and space. Thus, she performs indirect FTAs that highlight the solidarity aspect of group relations. I relate these findings to studies of management leadership in post-Soviet states that have revealed the tendency of Kazakh managers to use a nurturing leadership style.

Authors: Das Joyentanuj , Jayaraman Sachindranath , Mohanty Sumit 
Published: June 2020

AbstractA real symmetric matrix A is said to be completely positive if it can be written as BBt for some (not necessarily square) nonnegative matrix B. A simple graph G is called a completely positive graph if every matrix realization of G that is both nonnegative and positive semidefinite is a completely positive matrix. Our aim in this manuscript is to compute the determinant and inverse (when it exists) of the distance matrix of a class of completely positive graphs. We compute a matrix 𝒭 such that the inverse of the distance matrix of a class of completely positive graphs is expressed a linear combination of the Laplacian matrix, a rank one matrix of all ones and 𝒭. This expression is similar to the existing result for trees. We also bring out interesting spectral properties of some of the principal submatrices of 𝒭.
The Role of Consumers’ Behaviour in Applying Green Marketing: An Economic Analysis of the Non-alcoholic Beverages Industry in Kosova
Authors: Podvorica Ganimete , Ukaj Fatos 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Green marketing in Kosova evolved as a means for enterprises to adjust to increased market competitiveness. The objective of the study was to identify how consumers’ environmentally friendly behaviour drove the demand for new eco-value market offerings. Concurrently, the study aimed to prove how domestic producers of non-alcoholic beverages used their capabilities to deliver new eco-value market offerings. The research is based on a survey conducted in Kosova. Analysis focused on statistical correlation testing of consumers’ green marketing awareness, behaviour toward the environment, information search, trust in advertising and labels displaying health benefits of beverages and attitudes towards a willingness to pay more for organic non-alcoholic beverages compared with non-organic ones. Significant findings were the positive influence of family and media in shaping consumers’ environmentally friendly behaviour and, in contrast, consumers’ mistrust in the marketing activities of producers as a consequence of misleading advertising.

Authors: Xin Shengliang , Xu Jinghang , Yu Yanyan 
Published: June 2020

Aims: Comparing the risk of abnormal liver function tests between severe and non-severe patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by meta-analysis.
Methods: A literature search was conducted using the databases PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using fixed- or random-effects models. Publication bias was detected by the Harbord test.
Results: We included 8 articles comprising 7,467 COVID-19 patients. When compared between severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients, the pooled ORs of elevated alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and lactate dehydrogenase levels were 2.35 (95% CI 1.38-3.98), 3.21 (95% CI 2.59-3.98), 1.87 (95% CI 1.32-2.65), and 4.83 (95% CI 2.90-8.05), respectively.
Conclusions: The severity of COVID-19 is associated with liver damage, and can be a risk factor for abnormal liver function tests.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The World Health Organization has designated vaccine hesitancy as 1 of the 10 leading threats to global health, yet there is limited current national data on prevalence of hesitancy among US parents. Among a nationally representative sample of US parents, we aimed to (1) assess and compare prevalence of hesitancy and factors driving hesitancy for routine childhood and influenza vaccination and (2) examine associations between sociodemographic characteristics and hesitancy for routine childhood or influenza vaccination.

METHODS:
In February 2019, we surveyed families with children using the largest online panel generating representative US samples. After weighting, we assessed hesitancy using a modified 5-point Vaccine Hesitancy Scale and labeled parents as hesitant if they scored &gt;3.

RESULTS:
A total of 2176 of 4445 parents sampled completed the survey (response rate 49%). Hesitancy prevalence was 6.1% for routine childhood and 25.8% for influenza vaccines; 12% strongly and 27% somewhat agreed they had concerns about serious side effects of both routine childhood and influenza vaccines. A total of 70% strongly agreed that routine childhood vaccines are effective versus 26% for influenza vaccine (P &lt; .001). In multivariable models, an educational level lower than a bachelor’s degree and household income &lt;400% of the federal poverty level predicted hesitancy about both routine childhood and influenza vaccines.

CONCLUSIONS:
Almost 1 in 15 US parents are hesitant about routine childhood vaccines, whereas &gt;1 in 4 are hesitant about influenza vaccine. Furthermore, 1 in 8 parents are concerned about vaccine safety for both routine childhood and influenza vaccines, and only 1 in 4 believe influenza vaccine is effective. Vaccine hesitancy, particularly for influenza vaccine, is prevalent in the United States.

Published: June 2020

This article aims to discuss the relationship between Ahmad Lutfi Fathullah and digitalization of ?ad?th in Indonesia. The emergence of digitalization of ?ad?th in Indonesia can be associated with one of the leading scholars in the field of ?ad?th, namely Ahmad Lutfi Fathullah through the Center of ?ad?th Studies (PKH). The reason for the efforts of ?ad?th digitalization by Ahmad Lutfi Fathullah departed from the awareness to maintain the existence of ?ad?th studies in the modern era that demands the use of technological tools. The effort to digitalize the ?ad?th as the result of collaboration with the use of technology has now given birth to a variety of digital ?ad?th products, such as software, websites, android applications and ?ad?th visualization. The effort to digitalize the ?ad?th, one of which is undertaken by Ahmad Lutfi Fathullah at this time, has made the tradition of ?ad?th studies, especially in Indonesia experience a dynamic orientation and transformation of ?ad?th studies.

Authors: Atakishizade S A 
Published: June 2020

Aim. To study of the antibiotic resistance of S. aureus strains isolated from nosocomial infections (pneumonia, surgical site infections and sepsis) in a multidisciplinary surgical clinic.
Methods. Microbiological testing of sputum in 41 patients with pneumonia, of samples (wound, abscess, drainage) obtained from 40 patients with surgical site infections (SSI) and of blood from 46 patients with signs of sepsis was performed. The obtaining cultures were identified by conventional methods (including morphological, cultural, biochemical features, etc.). Disc diffusion method was used to detect methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains. Inducible clindamycin resistance (ICR) of S. aureus strains was determined by double disk approximation test (D-test).
Results. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus was found in 14.3% (2 of 14) of the patients with surgical site infections, in the sputum 27.3% (3 of 11) of the patients with pneumonia, and in the blood 50.0% (7 of 14) of the patients with sepsis (p 0.05). The rate of inducible clindamycin resistance of isolated S. aureus strains in patients with surgical site infections (2 of 14 cases, 14.3%) and with pneumonia (2 of 11 cases, 18.2%) did not statistically significant difference with the rate of methicillin resistance (p 0.05). However the rate was significantly lower septic infections 7.1% and 50.0% respectively (p=0.0328).
Conclusion. Among S. aureus strains isolated from nosocomial infections, the rate of methicillin-resistant S. aureus had not depended on the type of nosocomial infection; the rate of inducible clindamycin resistance in septic infections was lower than resistance to methicillin.

Aim. To assess the ability to form biofilms by clinical strains of the yeast Candida albicans isolated from patients with atopic dermatitis in exacerbation and remission stages under the effect of Fusarium solani micromycete and its absence.
Methods. The study included 70 strains of C. albicans and one strain of F. solani. Fungal biofilms formed according to the method of Ramage. The optical density of the biofilms measured using a micro plate reader at 620 nm. The effect of associated fungi on the biofilm-forming properties of C. albicans strains was studied by an extract from opportunistic F. solani fungi.
Results. The greatest biofilm formation was observed in strains isolated at the remission stage. The strains isolated in the acute period were inferior to them in the ability to form biofilms (average values of film formation were 0.143 and 0.087, respectively). Co-cultivation of C. albicans strains with F. solani fungus extract stimulated biofilm formation of C. albicans strains at a concentration of 1:10.
Conclusion. This study showed a possible synergism between C. albicans and F. solani in polymicrobial skin infections, because the products of the fungus F. solani increase one of the virulence factors of the fungus C. albicans; the possibility to assess of a stimulating effect of associated fungi on the virulence one of an agent of infectious disease process will allow predicting the disease severity.

Published: June 2020

Aim. To assess the presence of mutations based on the analysis of the prevalence of polymorphisms in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in patients admitted to the Republican clinical Oncology dispensary of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan with breast cancer.
Methods. 137 patients with breast cancer aged 25 to 80 years underwent molecular genetic testing to detect BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations by using allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction. Venous blood from 105 healthy donors was used as a control group.
Results. The study of genetic modifiers of cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers revealed mutations in the genes BRCA1 185delAG, 4153delA, 5382insC, T300G and BRCA2-6174 del T, which help identify genetic susceptibility to breast cancer (NSCLC). The most common form of genetic variation in patients with breast cancer was 5382insC mutation in BRCA1 gene, which was 14.59% of the total number of examined patients and 90% of the total number of positive results. BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutations lead to producing truncated protein, which cannot properly perform its functions and ensure DNA cell stability.
Conclusion. Considering high breast cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutations carriers, our results show the advisability of including screening for 5382insC, 4153delA and T300G mutations in the BRCA1 gene to the screening programs for determining the risk of breast cancer.

Published: June 2020

Aim. To reveal the rate and severity of clinical manifestations of common dental diseases and dentofacial anomalies in professional athletes
Methods. The effect of intense physical exertion and overtraining syndrome on the state of the organs and tissues of the dental system were examined in 200 professional athletes aged 1825 years between 2014 and 2016. Five groups where each has the same number of athletes (n=40) included: team sport athletes (volleyball, handball), martial arts athletes (wrestling, boxing), gymnasts, swimmers, athletes. The control group consisted of 40 individuals who were not professionally involved in sports. The state of the oral cavity, in particular periodontal tissues, was judged by changes in the following indicators: prevalence of dentofacial anomalies, the incidence of dental caries, state of the oral cavity hygienic using by simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) ( Green J.С., Vermillion J.R., 1963), degree of gums bleeding by using the MuhlemannCowell bleeding index, degrees of severity of periodontopathy by using the papillary-marginal alveolar index (RMA) [Massler, Schour (1949) in Parma modification (1960)].
Results. According to the values of the simplified oral hygiene index the worst state of the oral cavity hygienic was in wrestlers (2.120.022 points) and boxers (2.030.029) compared to the control group (1.620.026, p=0.049 and p=0.001, respectively). Catarrhal gingivitis and generalized chronic periodontitis are most often diagnosed in the groups of wrestling (82.56.01%), gymnastics (77.56.60%), boxing (70.07.25%) and swimming (70.07.25%). Dentoalveolar anomalies were more often detected in boxers (77.5% of cases, p=0.001) and in gymnasts (34.0%, p=0.365) compared to the control group. In these groups, diastema was also more often diagnosed.
Conclusion. Periodontal inflammation indicators were higher in wrestlers and gymnasts groups compared to the dental status of all other groups of athletes; caries and maximum level of dental anomalies are more common for boxers.

Accurate fetal weight assessment is a problem which is associated where resources are subject to availability. Both low and high birth weight is connected with augmented prospect of complications of new born during labour and purperium. Fetal weight assessment can reduce the risk of complications that are challenging in maternal and neonatal of Symphysio-fundal height measurement by adopting Johnson’s Formula. For the fetal weight estimation a method that has now come to be prevalent. By adopting Johnson’s formula along with its comparison to the actual birth weight. The present study thus aimed to determine fetal weight accuracy.Present study of prospective analytical was accepted to in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of a tertiary care hospital in Pune. Study included a total of 500 pregnant women attending the OPD with full term pregnancy till onset of labour, fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Adopting Johnson’s formula birth weight estimation has been done along with the results were correlated with definite birth weight. Using SPSS ver. 21.0 the analysis of Data had been performed.As per the prediction of Mean birth weight by clinical (Johnson’s formulae) and actual birth weight was 3.13 Kg and 2.89 Kg correspondingly. Johnson’s formulae’s co-relates well with actual birth weight (r-0.86; 95% CI: 0.84-0.88), though prediction of fetal weight was slightly on a higher side. In 60.8% cases the difference was within range of 10% and in 84.8% the difference was less than 15%. The mean difference in estimation was highest in babies those are in low birth weight i.e. &#60;2.5 Kg.Our observation indicates that as a diagnostic tool there is visibly a role for clinical birthweight estimation, in a pregnancy term suggesting that, to manage labour as well as delivery clinical estimation is sufficient.
A historical and politico-geographical analysis of Hungarian-Polish border before 1939 in the Hungarian historical geography
Authors: Hajdú Zoltán 
Published: June 2020

The historical development of the common borders took place in many respects simultaneously since the epoch of the two states’ establishment. The territories and borders of both states have greatly changed ever since, yet during the periods of joined kingdom the common borders always showed a high degree of stability.
The first description of the common state borders can be found in the Anonymous Latin Gesta by around 1200 AD. From the 15th century on, the Hungarian Parliament on several occasions appointed and sent different committees by legal acts to the borders of neighbouring countries, including Poland, in order to delimit or adjust its state borders.
Due to the threefold dissolution of the Polish State, the former common border fundamentally changed. After the First World War, the common state border between the reborn Poland and the historical Hungary completely vanished after the latter lost some two-thirds of its territory.
During the Second World War the common borders were restored for a short time through which thousands of Polish escaped to Hungary.
Thus, the partially shared state history and the changing (disappearing and reappearing) common state border represent an international singularity in many respects.
