Published: January 2021

Introduction. In market economy, the internal and external processes of educational organisations are becoming more complex. There is a need to identify managerial practices, which can be delegated to external consultants. The process of defining such practices is not completely studied. The application of expert support from leaders and management teams is often situational.The aim of the present research is to identify the range of managerial problems of educational organisations, which cause the need to resort to external consulting support.Methodology and research methods. The application of the method of cluster analysis of text data of periodicals allowed the authors to investigate a potential market for consulting services, to identify the modern management needs of educational organizations and the experience of their solution by external organisations. The analysis of open data of consulting organisations was carried out to identify real practices.Results. The main management problems of educational organisations and the types of consulting services necessary for their solution are considered and classified. The main approaches to defining the framework of educational consulting are highlighted. The authors have developed the method for monitoring the prospective market for consulting services. It was determined that the growing demand for consulting services and the expansion of the range of these services are associated with the formation of a market environment in the education system and the desire of management of educational organisations to provide a competitive advantage. The cases of Russian and foreign consulting organisations were analysed and grouped in accordance with the proposed typology.Scientific novelty. In academic literature, the study of this issue is mainly limited to defining the boundaries of educational consulting. The authors have made an attempt to identify typical situations, in which managers of educational organisations need to request the services of external experts.Practical significance. The results of the current research can serve as a guideline for the management of educational organisations, when making managerial decisions. It will allow the managers to determine the cases, in which it is possible to turn to external consultants according to the supply conditions on the market, and to identify the issues, regarding which it is desirable to rely solely on internal resources.

Published: January 2021

Objective: Vascular aging and osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) refers to age-related endothelial cells and body composition disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks resistance training with elastic bands on vascular aging-related serum miR-146 expression level and atherosclerosis risk factors in elderly women with OSO.
Materials and Methods: In the present single-blind randomized clinical trial, 48 elderly women with OSO (according to Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) method results), were divided randomly into two groups of control (n=22) and experimental (n=26). The experimental group performed resistance training with elastic bands for 12 weeks and three sessions per week for all major muscle groups. Statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS statistical software version 22.
Results: Between-group comparisons showed a significant decrease in serum miR-146 expression (P-value= 0.005) and total cholesterol (P-value= 0.034) in the experimental group compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in body weight (P-value= 0.440), BMI (P-value= 0.553), total fat (P-value= 0.093), BMC (P-value= 0.862), BMD (P-value= 0.564), Hs-CRP (P-value= 0.065), HDL-C (P-value= 0.515) and LDL-C (P-value= 0.889).
Conclusion: Resistance trainings decrease miR-146 expression in elderly women with OSO, which was associated with decreased LDL levels and increased HDL levels, though BMI, body fat percentage, total cholesterol and HS-CRP were not significantly different probably due to the type and intensity of the exercises that require further investigation.
A Submaximal Exercise Patterns Intervention on the Plasmatic Leptin Level and Insulin Resistance for Overweight / Obesity Boys Adolescences
Authors: Nazem Farzad , Lotfi Salman 
Published: January 2021

Objective: Obesity is a medical problem that increases the risk of health problems like diabetes. Hormones secreting from fat tissue, Leptin, are correlated with body mass index. Leptin reduces the personchr('39')s appetite by acting on specific centers of their brain to reduce their urge to eat. And insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, is essential for regulating carbohydrates and the metabolism of fat. A positive relationship between leptin levels and insulin resistance in children showing in this study is to determine the effect of continues-endurance and interval-endurance on leptin serum levels and insulin resistance in over-weighted youths.
Materials and Methods: This study is a semi-experimental design. Thirty boys were voluntarily selected as a matched two experimental groups and a control. Physical profiles included aged 16-19, BMI; 37.75 (±4.46) KG/M2, base functional capacity: 32.8 (±3.6) ml/kg/min which dividing by three equal groups: the submaximal training interval, a continuum and interval and control group performed the submaximal running program for six weeks on 3 D/W. The selected parameters were evaluated for an intervention pre and post-conditions.
Results: weight and body mass index variables were decreased by about 2.5-3% after exercise intervention. Plasmatic leptin levels were reduced by about 45% in the continuum and interval control groups. HOMA-IR & QUICKI indexes altered in the EG (8.9 %, 7.8%) (P-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: Presumably, 2 exercise program patterns lower than lactate threshold could change body composition profile, basal leptin level, and blood glucose /insulin concentrations, which probably induced changes in resistance to insulin.

Published: January 2021

Objective: In obesity, chronic low grade inflammation, created by induction of pro-inflammatory markers, causes adipocyte dysfunction in adipose tissue. Adipocytes dysfunction is associated with various diseases including insulin resistance and obesity. In obesity, inflammatory factors such as osteopontin (OPN), angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are induced in adipose tissue. Metformin and pioglitazone that are used to modulate inflammation, but the relevant mechanism is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of metformin and pioglitazone as anti-diabetic drugs, on gene expression of osteopontin, Angptl2 and TGF-β as inflammatory factors in insulin resistance and hypertrophied adipocyte in 3T3-L1 cell line model in vitro.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental research, we differentiated3T3-L1 preadipocytes to adipocytes. The adipocytes treated in insulin resistance and hypertrophied conditions with metformin and pioglitazone and assayed gene expression of OPN, Angptl2 and TGF-β by Real-Time PCR. Data was analyzed by SPSS statistic software.
Results: The results showed that expression of OPN, Angptl2, and TGF-β were increased significantly over 2-fold (P-value< 0.05) in insulin resistance and hypertrophied adipocytes compared to normal adipocytes. Pre- and co-treatment with metformin and pioglitazone led to reduced expression of Angptl2 and TGF-β. Only metformin significantly reduced the expression of Angptl2, TGF-β and OPN in hypertrophied adipocyte.
Conclusion: These results support the proposal that metformin and pioglitazone reduce gene expression of inflammatory factors in insulin resistant and hypertrophied adipocytes.

Determinants of Vessel Defects in Superficial and Deep Vascular Layers in Normal-Tension Glaucoma Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Authors: Lee Jiyun , Park Chan Kee , Park Hae-Young 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
We investigated the characteristics of localized vessel density defects (VD) either in the deep or superficial vascular layer of normal-tension glaucoma patients using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, 74 eyes with localized retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect were included. The relationships between the widths of the VD in the superficial and deep layer and ocular factors were evaluated. Eyes with greater deep VD were significantly older (P = 0.023). Baseline and treated IOPs were significantly related to the width of the deep VD (P=0.009 and 0.014, respectively). By contrast, average ganglion cell inner plexiform layer thickness (GCIPLT) was substantially related to the width of the superficial VD (Both Ps=0.004). In logistic regression analysis, aging was noticeably associated with wider deep VD, whereas worse pattern standard deviation (PSD) had a significant association with wider superficial VD (Both Ps=0.001). In sum, while changes of the superficial layer seemed an overall ramification of glaucomatous damages, the deep layer was more likely to be affected by factors related to ocular microcirculation, such as IOPs and older age. Thus, looking into the deep vascular layer using OCTA could identify risk factors related to the disturbance in ocular microcirculation.

Abstract
With a focus on the hot topics of traffic congestion and smog (air quality), in this study, the impact of road traffic on urban air quality was the first quantitatively analyzed based on the aerosol optical thickness (AOD) and geographical weighted regression (GWR) models, including the road network density, road area occupancy, intersection number, and bus network density. The main research conclusions are as follows. There is a strong positive correlation between the peak congestion delay index (PCDI) and air quality. Based on the GWR model, AOD has high correlations with four road network traffic characteristic parameters, and these correlations are much higher than ordinary linear regression, that is, GWR refines the local spatial changes in the AOD and the road parameters. The correlation was mainly positive. The correlation between AOD and the road area occupancy was the highest, and the correlations between PM2.5 and the density of the bus network and the number of intersections were higher than those with the road network density. Thus, bus route planning, bus emission reduction, road network planning, and signal timing (intersection) have a greater impact on air quality, especially in areas with traffic jams. This study has a certain guiding significance for traffic planning and traffic control, and it provides support and a basis for traffic planning and control.

Abstract
Background: There has been rapid development of migraine research in the past 20 years in China and around the world. We analyzed the development trend of migraine research, and made a bibliometric analysis on the growth trend of the total number of publications, countries, institutions, authors, cited references and keywords from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019 by applying visualization software, and constructed the relevant knowledge map, and found the trends and hot spots in the field through comparison. Methods: Retrieved the literature on migraine in the Web of Science database from 2000-2009 and 2010-2019 respectively, and then utilized CiteSpace to conduct bibliometric analysis to acquire the knowledge mapping. Results: The total number of publications each year has increased year by year, and the average annual growth rate from 2000 to 2009 was 7.999%, while from 2010 to 2019 was 5.348%, with a faster growth rate from 2000 to 2009. According to the cluster analysis of institutions, authors, cited references, and keywords, 10/11, 12/11, 12/11, and 8/9 categories were obtained from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019 respectively. The most productive countries, institutions, and authors are the USA, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Lipton RB from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019, whose frequency is 4274/7107, 322/592, and 279/472 respectively. However, the most important of them are Belgium/ Pakistan, Houston Headache Clin/ Amgen Inc, and Lipton RB/ Klatt J, owing to their highest centrality, they are 1.20/1.08, 1.13/1.32, and 1.22/0.89 separately. Moreover, Cited references that contributed to the most co-citations are Silberstein SD (2004)/ Bes A (2013) from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019, however, the most vital cited reference is Welch KMA (2001)/ Goadsby PJ (2017). Keywords such as migraine, headache, prevalence, and the double blind are the most frequently used. But prevalence is the crucial keyword. In the cluster analysis of institutions, authors, cited references, and keywords from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019, the more convincing research categories are potential anti-migraine agent/ chronic migration prevention, reducing headache recurrence/ following symptomatic treatment, to-left shunt/ placebo controlled phase, spectrum study/ family study hemiplegic migraine, with S values of 0.952/0.956, 0.985/0/986, 0.981/0.970 and 0.985/0.982 respectively. Furthermore, the hotspots in this field are “stimulation”, “triptan” from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019. Conclusion: Based on the bibliometric analysis in the past 20 years, the knowledge mapping of the country, institution, author, cited reference, and the keyword is gained, which has an important guiding significance for quickly and accurately positioning the trend in this field.
A Landscape-Level Assessment of Composition, Structural Heterogeneity and Distribution Pattern of Trees in Temperate Forest of Kashmir Himalaya, India
Authors: DAR ASHAQ AHMAD , Parthasarathy Narayanaswamy 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Background: A landscape-level quantitative assessment of tree species was conducted across three forest types viz., low-level blue pine (BP), mixed conifer (MC) and subalpine (SA) forests of Kashmir Himalaya, India to ascertain patterns of species composition, and stand structure heterogeneity. We performed analyses of tree composition and structural heterogeneity, and multivariate ordination for the distribution of species across the landscape. Results: In total, thirteen tree species ranging from five in SA forest to ten species in MC forest were recorded. There was an overall forest compositional dissimilarity among the forest types. Pinus wallichiana and Abies pindrow were exclusive dominants under BP and SA forests, respectively, whereas, Abies pindrow and Pinus wallichaiana prevailed in sampled plots from mid-elevation MC forest. Pinaceae family contributing more than 98% individual stems was the most speciose and dominant, followed by Sapindaceae (0.52%) and Betulaceae (0.44%). Stand density, basal area, as well as mean DBH differed among the forest types with an overall positive response to elevation. Besides MC forest, the diameter class distribution of BP and SA forests displayed characteristics ‘reverse J-shaped’ pattern, concluding its degenerated forest structure. Abies pindrow and Pinus wallichiana across the forests showed bell-shaped tree size distribution, indicated sporadic recruitment and/or due to targeting specific size classes. A single cluster in SA forest and two sub-clusters in BP and MC forests were displayed in abundance and species-based Bray-Curtis cluster analysis. Topographical factors, elevation and slope, were identified as the principal factors of tree species distribution patterns and positively correlated with Canonical Correspondence Analysis 1 (CCA1) and CCA2, respectively. Conclusions: The quantitative landscape-level inventory of diversity across forest types indicated an overall less heterogenous tree composition with structural heterogeneity. CCA predicted elevation and slope as principal drivers determining species distribution. Information about these forest attributes are expected to provide better ecological insights and prospects for sustainable forest management and utilisation, and improving conservation strategies and ecosystem services.
