National Education and Educational Ideals in the Political Thought of the National Party (1928-1939)
In the period of the Second Polish Republic, educational issues constituted a subject matter of interest to Polish political thinkers. Nonetheless, such issues were often perceived differently by the diverse ideological and politicalfactions. According to such political entities, the interwar period was marked by the destabilisation of the previously existing social, political and cultural order, giving rise to a new reality. Visions of creating a “new,” “better,” more moral and socialised man began to appear in statements of almost all political circles. Such projections, however, entailed the rather disturbing prospect of far-reaching interference in the lives of all citizens, including their privacy. The postulate of changing the individual in order to meet the emerging “higher” objectives, social needs, and “lofty” principles, was put forward. The National Party developed a comprehensive educational programme. The aim of national education was to build a strong nation, and to prepare the society for an independent nation and functioning of the state. The principal categories of the National Party’s political thought included work, creation, and action. The condition of Polish society was also thoroughly analysed, with the ideal Pole being depicted as a hard-working, thrifty, conscientious and diligent person, dedicated to the nation and affairs of the state. Active and constructive attitudes were widely promoted, along with social responsibility, readiness to make sacrifices, self-determination and subordination to the individuals responsible for the implemented goals. National education was expected to give rise to “a definite Polish type” that would embody the truly Polish character and indigenous values cultivated from generation to generation by the natively Polish population. Its emergence would be possible by imposing adequate discipline and hierarchy.
Updating Accounting Systems: Longitudinal Evidence from the Healthcare Sector
Authors: Labro Eva , Stice-Lawrence Lorien 
Published: May 2020

This paper provides evidence on the determinants and economic outcomes of updates of accounting systems (AS) over a 24-year timespan in a large sample of U.S. hospitals. We provide evidence that hospitals update their AS in response to three types of pressures: economic pressures, such as increases in the quality of accounting information driven by vendor rollouts of improved AS; coercive pressures imposed by regulators mandating certain practices, such as internal control practices imposed by Sarbanes–Oxley Section 404; and mimetic pressures for hospitals to conform their AS to those of their peers, such as local county and prominent “celebrity” peers. We find that only economically driven updates lead to economic benefits in the form of lower operating expenses and higher revenues. In contrast, we find some evidence that AS updates prompted by coercive regulatory pressures actually impose economic costs in the form of higher operating expenses.This paper was accepted by Suraj Srinivasan, accounting.
The Value of Sharing Intermittent Spectrum
Authors: Berry Randall , Honig Michael , Nguyen Thành , Subramanian Vijay , Vohra Rakesh 
Published: May 2020

We examine a model of Cournot competition with congestion motivated by recent policy to allow commercial sharing of wireless spectrum that is assigned to other users such as government agencies. A key feature of such spectrum is that it is intermittently available because of the incumbent user’s activity. In our model, wireless service providers (SPs) compete for a common pool of customers using their own proprietary (exclusively licensed) bands of spectrum along with access to an additional intermittent band. When the intermittent band is unavailable, any traffic carried on that band must be shifted to the proprietary bands. Customers are sensitive to both the price they pay and the average congestion they experience across the bands of spectrum from which they receive service. We compare two different access policies for this intermittent band: one in which it is open to all SPs and one in which it is licensed to a single SP. We also allow the band to be divided into multiple subbands where each subband is either open or licensed. We characterize trade-offs between social welfare and consumer welfare that depend on the choice of different access policies and assignments of subbands to SPs. These can involve subtle issues related to the ability of a larger SP to make more efficient use of intermittent spectrum and the increase in competition by assigning more spectrum to smaller SPs.

Effect of tobacco in human oral leukoplakia: a cytomorphometric analysis
Authors: Patel Uday , Shah Rina , Patel Alpesh , Shah Shreyas , Patel Dhruva , Patel Anil 
Published: May 2020

Objectives. Tobacco use is one of the most critical risk factors for different oral diseases. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of tobacco on oral mucosa by cytomorphometric analysis of cells with the help of exfoliative cytology and to find out the improvement in diagnostic sensitivity of exfoliative cytology in the detection of dysplastic changes and early oral malignancy.
Methods. The nuclear area (NA) and cytoplasmic area (CA) of cells were measured within cytological smear obtained from leukoplakia lesions of buccal mucosa of 90 tobacco users, 30 smokers (TS), 30 chewers (TC) and 30 with combined habit of smoking and chewing (TSC)] and from normal buccal mucosa of 30 non users (NU) of tobacco. Each habit group consisted of 30 tobacco users with oral leukoplakia lesion with mild epithelial dysplasia only. The 30 non-users of tobacco served as controls. The mean values of the CA and NA were obtained for each case, and the nuclear/cytoplasmic area (NA/CA) ratio was calculated.
Results. The results showed a statistically significant increase (P<0.001) in mean NA and a statistically significant decrease (P<0.001) in mean CA values of tobacco users with leukoplakia as compared to non-users, hence NA/CA ratio value was significantly higher in tobacco users with the lesion.
Conclusion. The changes in cellular morphology caused by tobacco use can be visualized by use of exfoliative cytology with the help of cytomorphometric analysis. The evaluation of parameters (NA, CA and NA/CA ratio) may increase the sensitivity of exfoliative cytology for the early diagnosis of oral premalignant and malignant lesions.

Development of preanalytical criteria assessment of quality of vacuum blood collection systems affecting clinical examination of patients
Authors: Kazakov S. P. , Suslova L. A. 
Published: May 2020

This paper presents comparative studies of preanalytical quality indices of vacuum gel systems (VGS) from four manufacturers, i.e., GL 795 (China), Vacuette (Austria), BD Vacutainer SST (USA) and Zdravmedtech (Russia). The analysis of the number of qualitative defects of the preanalytic phase of blood collection in vacuum gel tubes at the inpatient departments and in Department of Clinical Chemistry (preanalytic laboratory), in accordance with adopted criteria based on Russian industry standards, which are implemented with European indices of pre-analytic stage. The obtained results allowed us to identify a number of qualitative defects at pre-analytic stage for the vacuum gel systems from each manufacturer, including to summarize the data on number of these defects. Based on these results, the most common defects in each of the VGS presented by manufacturers are formulated. The results obtained can be used by manufacturers to improve the quality (structures) of the mentioned vacuum gel tubes.The results of the comparative characteristics of VGS of different manufacturers were evaluated by their influence on the indexes of hemolysis (IH), ictericity, lipemia. The resulting indices of ictericity and lipemia do not allow to use them as criteria for assessing quality of the gel systems. The frequency of IH occurrence in serum at > 50 conventional units in VGS of different manufacturers was studied. It was revealed, that IH in the range from 10 to 50 conventional units and more, can be used as a criterion of VGS quality.Comparison of routine biochemical parameters in VGS of different manufacturers, i.e., alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, direct bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum K+, was also carried out. It was found that the largest deviations from the average value were obtained for aspartate aminotransferase indices of more than 12.47% in Russian test tubes, and for direct bilirubin of more than 12.25% in Chinese test tubes and more than 9.15% in Russian test tubes. The study showed influence of IH upon quantitative values of lactate dehydrogenase for VGS from different manufacturers. It is proposed to use lactate dehydrogenase as an analyte. On this basis, it is possible to recommend a comparative quality assessment of vacuum gel systems, with IH cutoff level of more than 19 conventional units. It remains relevant to search for other analytes that can be used to assess the quality of VGS from different manufacturers. Some areas of research in biochemical testing are outlined. Preliminary data are obtained on usage of vacuum systems from different manufacturers for quality assessment, as well as conditions for performing these tests, along with the level of the hemolysis index of more than 10 conventional units.

The aim of this study was to generate dendritic cells from the bone marrow of mice (DC) in vitro and to assess the effect of virulent and attenuated variants of influenza virus on the maturation of DCs. Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) were used in combination, to induce differentiation of mouse bone marrow (BM) mononucleocytes into DCs. On the 5th day, distinct variants of influenza virus were added to the cell culture, and the cells were additionally incubated for 2 days. The morphological characteristics of DCs, immunophenotype of DCs and expression of some Toll-like receptors were evaluated. On the 5th day of incubation. the DCs acquired typical morphological characteristics. DCs were large in size with an eccentrically located nucleous, often irregular in shape, with numerous processes. On the 7th day of incubation with influenza virus variants, their cytoplasm was somewhat denser. DCs acquired more processes, necessary for intercellular contacts. Expression levels of CD11c, a specific marker of BM-derived DCs, and of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC-II were elevated in mature DCs. Virulent versus attenuated strains of the influenza virus induced special variants of DCs differentiation, with respect to expression rates of differentiation markers, as well as expression of Toll-like receptors and costimulatory molecules. Conclusions. The in vitro cultured murine mononucleocytes derived from bone marrow can produce a large number of n-DCs, that can mature in the presence of different variants.During evolution of the DC immunophenotype treated with variant influenza viruses, we have found distinct signs of immunosuppression.The attenuated U-2 and M-26 influenza variants obtained by site-specific mutagenesis upon development of DCs immunophenotype, exhibited a decreased immunosuppressive activity and were not inferior to the cold-adapted (CA) reassortant for the most positions, but exceeded it in some instances. These studies can help to assess the criteria for evaluation the efficiency of in vitro developed influenza vaccines.
Phenotypic manifestation of homozygous partial deletion of the chromosome 1 segment spanning <i>CFHR3</i> region

Published: May 2020

This article presents two clinical cases of patients with a homozygous deletion of segment of chromosome 1, which covers regions of genes associated with complement factor H, in particular CFHR3. Patients underwent in-depth clinical studies, heredity assessment, laboratory, instrumental and genetic diagnostics. The first clinical case describes a clinical case with deleted chromosome 1 segment in a 9-year-old girl who was diagnosed with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome. This is a complement-dependent disease that affects both adults and children. It is known that a defect in any proteins included in the alternative complement activation pathway can lead to atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome. However, this syndrome is most often caused by defects in chromosome 1 region, including gene sequences associated with complement factor H – CFHR1 and CFHR3. Modern treatment of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome involves targeted pathogenetic treatment, therefore, the genetic diagnosis seems to be a necessary step for differential diagnosis and confirmation. The patient had fairly typical clinical symptoms, including signs of thrombotic microangiopathy, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia and increasing renal failure. It is also known that her mother had congenital hydronephrosis, and the pregnancy proceeded against a background of ureaplasma, mycoplasma, cytomegalovirus infection, chronic pyelonephritis, and preeclampsia.The second clinical case of a deleted chromosome 1 region, involving the CFHR3 gene, is a description of the disease in a boy of 8 years old, while the disease manifested with alopecia at the age of 4. Intermittent alopecia was the main symptom, while there were no signs of renal failure, thrombocytopenic purpura, and other symptoms characteristic of atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome. The boy also revealed some congenital defects of the urinary system: bladder diverticulum, unilateral ureterohydronephrosis, and bilateral dilatation of the pyelocaliceal system. The detected genetic defect is usually associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. However, the phenotype, i.e., clinical manifestations, determined a completely different diagnosis – primary immunodeficiency, a group of complement defects, and a deficiency of complement factor H-related protein. After analyzing the given clinical cases, we can conclude that clinical manifestations may vary significantly in carriers of same gene mutations. This suggests that there are additional factors (genetic or environmental) that can influence the formation of various phenotypic manifestations of this pathology.
El consumismo y la “caída de Babilonia” - Consumerism and the “fall of Babylon”
Authors: Pereyra Lavandina Mario 
Published: May 2020

A partir del siglo XVIII se instala el modernismo que promovió la evidencia objetiva, la utilidad racional y el descubrimiento de las leyes de la naturaleza. A partir de la segunda parte del siglo XX, naufraga el optimismo ingenuo del progreso indefinido y nace un nuevo tipo de sociedad individualista, centrada en el presente, que privilegia el consumo y el hedonismo: la posmodernidad. La fiebre consumista de satisfacciones inmediatas ha continuado durante el siglo XXI en lo que está siendo llamado hipermodernidad, más desenfrenada que nunca, aunque envuelta en un halo de temores e desasosiegos. Se investiga el proceso histórico que dio lugar al hiperconsumo para después plantear si acaso ésta es la última etapa de la historia o si habrá un poshipermodernismo. El sociólogo Z.Bauman (2007) estima que la posibilidad de producir un nuevo tipo de cultura es prácticamente nulo. A partir de esta realidad irreversible se considera la profecía apocalíptica de Babilonia (Apoc.18), en su desenlace catastrófico, como evento final de la historia humana, encontrándose que se relaciona con la economía y la política, como ejes socioculturales claves, haciendo el texto bíblico una descripción que podría relacionarse con organizaciones que trabajan desde las sombras, manejadas por los clanes más poderosos del mundo, que estarían dirigiendo los flujos de los grandes capitales e influyendo en la política internacional movidos por la avidez de poder, en forma perversa y egoísta. Podría hipotetizarse que la profecía apocalíptica del último simbolismo babilónico podría aplicarse al hipermodernismo, augurándose su destrucción y la instalación de un nuevo orden bajo los auspicios del Dios.

Published: May 2020

The ongoing reform of Ukrainian penitentiary service places high demands on the moral and psychological qualities of correctional staff facilities. Particular attention is paid to the issues of motivation and motivational readiness of employees in difficult, special conditions with clients of the correctional system. Therefore, the aim of our study was to establish and analyze how much motivational readiness has been formed among cadets and students to work with prisoners in prison, to identify whether there are patterns that affect the formation of positive or negative motivation in the process of professional training. In our work, we used the following methods: analysis of statistical data of personnel of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine, which are in the public domain; questionnaires; interview. We identified four main motives that positively affect the choice of work in a correctional facility: social security; fight against crime; retirement; work with people. At the same time, there are factors that form a negative motivation for employees, namely: working and resting conditions; lack of visible work results; negative impact of the criminal environment and subculture, which contribute to psycho-emotional burnout and professional deformation of the staff of correctional facilities. The results allow revising the curriculum for training of personnel for working with clients of the correctional system; reveals the existing problems of employees of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine; have a positive impact on reducing the number of layoffs among staff; helps to draw attention to professional, moral and ethical qualities when accepting candidates for work in correctional facilities.

WHAT IS VALUABLE IN THE ACADEME: CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS
Authors: Vodyanitskaya Albina , Yaremenko Vera 
Published: May 2020

The paper focuses on the corpus-based analysis of academic discourse values. The research aim is to reveal how teachers transmit academic discourse values through their everyday interactions with students (during lectures, seminars) and to reveal, which values are relevant for the students (based on the analysis of their essays, research papers and some such). The research relies on corpus-based approach and primary methods used are a semantic analysis and a context analysis as well as definition analysis of evaluative means. The research results have revealed that various values play important role in academic interactions and shape the image of the academe – on the local as well as on the global scale. The study of the contexts containing the word valuable in British National Corpus (Davis, 2008-), British Academic Spoken English (Nesi, & Thompson, 2000-), British Academic Written English (Nesi, 2008-), Corpus of Russian Student Texts (Rakhilina, Zevakhina, & Dzhakupova, 2013-) and Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (2002-) has revealed that the values of academic discourse can be subdivided into six domains: emotional, cognitive, educational, research-related, academic life-related, topic- / area-related. The further applicability of research findings manifests itself in various avenues of research: linguistics (evaluative means), axiology (cross-disciplinary study of values), teaching practices (academic discourse genres) and others.
