Authors: Ismail Narmeen Abdulsamad 
Published: September 2021

Objectives: This study designed to assess the genomic instability between healthy women and women with breast cancer by means of buccal cells micronucleus (MN) cytome assay.
Methods: The current study comprised 25 healthy women and 30 breast cancer patients. The exfoliated cells of buccal mucosa were taken after each participants rinse their mouths with tap water. The micronucleated cell and nuclear anomalies were analyzed under a total magnification of X1000, 2000 cells per subjects ( patient and control group) were scored and the frequencies of nuclear anomalies including MN, binucleates (BN), Pycnotic cell, karyolysis (KL) and karyorrhexis (KR) were evaluated in exfoliated buccal mucosa cells of women with primary BC and healthy women.
Results: The frequencies of micronuclei and all nuclear anomalies in buccal cells of BC patients were significantly increased compared with the controls. (For Binucleates cells only, p<0.001; in all other cases, P < 0.0001). The mean scores of micronuclei and all nuclear anomalies for the breast cancer patients were (10.66Â±0.3845, 6.20Â±0.26, 8.40Â±0. 22, 18.40Â±0. 34, 19.13 Â±0.40) were significantly higher than that of healthy women).
Conclusion: Elevated frequency of micronucleated cells and all nuclear anomalies in the buccal mucosa of breast cancer patients reveal the genomic instability. These findings propose that the buccal MN-cytome assay can be used to measure both genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in primary cancer patients

Authors: Zadvornov A. A. , Grigoriev E. V. 
Published: September 2021

Aim. To study the correlation of serum persephin with clinical, instrumental and biochemical indicators of brain damage and with an adverse outcome in critically ill newborns.Materials and Methods. The study included 44 critically ill newborns. Blood samples were collected on the 1stand 7thday of life. Brain injury was assessed by recording Apgar score, depression of consciousness and brainstem reflexes in unsedated patients over 7 days of life, convulsions, neurosonographic signs of cerebral edema, serum protein S100B on the 1stand 7thday of life, and using indicators of adverse neurological outcome. The correlation of serum persephin on the 1stand 7thday of life with signs of brain damage was evaluated using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U-test.Results. No statistically significant correlation was found between the concentrations of serum persephin on the 1stand 7thday of life and Apgar score (p = 0.721 and 0.222, respectively), depression of consciousness and stem reflexes (p < 0.05), convulsions (p = 0.673 and 0.432, respectively), cerebral edema (p = 0.737 and 0.558, respectively), and serum protein S100B both on the 1stday (p = 0.095 and 0.475, respectively) and 7thday of life (p = 0.988 and p = 0.775, respectively). Further, there was no statistically significant association of the serum persephin on the 1stday of line with an unfavorable outcome (p = 0.294). Yet, we revealed an association of serum persephin on the 7thday of life with an unfavorable outcome (p = 0.013), with a cut-off point of 828 ng/mL, a sensitivity of 39%, and a specificity of 100%.Conclusion. Persephin has poor diagnostic and prognostic significance for assessing the severity of brain damage in critically ill newborns. The obtained data on the correlation of the concentration of persephin for 7 days with an unfavorable outcome are doubtful due to the lack of data on its correlation with signs of severe brain damage.

Aim. To develop a predictive model for calculating the likelihood of recurrent uterine fibroids after myomectomy.Materials and Methods. We consecutively recruited 149 women aged 19 to 45 years who underwent myomectomy. Prediction of uterine fibroids was carried out using multivariate analysis including a classification tree (IBM SPSS Statistics). To construct a classification tree for predicting recurrent uterine fibroids, the following patient-related parameters were used as the input features: age, family history, nulliparity, past medical history of myomectomy, obesity, rapid fibroid growth, multiple fibroids at myomectomy, BCL-2, Ki-67, and VEGF expression.Results. When analyzing the resulting classification tree, we can conclude that the most significant factors defining the recurrence of uterine fibroids are low parity, multiple fibroids at myomectomy, intensive VEGF expression, and weak expression of BCL-2.Conclusion. Our original model allows the identification of the most significant predictors of recurrent uterine fibroids and might be proposed as a useful tool for clinical practice.

Published: September 2021

Aim. To study the gene-specific composition of Borrelia spp. in ixodid ticks inhabiting the foci of ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) in the south of Western Siberia.Materials and Methods. The gene-specific composition of Borrelia spp. in ixodid ticks was determined by inoculation on a BSK-H nutrient medium, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and sequencing (1148 specimens of ixodid ticks collected from vegetation and 2183 specimens withdrawn from humans).Results. Infection of ticks with borrelia ranged from 22.4% in the Altai Republic to 56.9% in the Novosibirsk Region. There were no significant differences in the levels of Borrelia infection between two major ixodides, I. persulcatus and I. pavlovskiy (average infection levels 40.0% and 38.8%, respectively). At least five gene species of pathogenic Borrelia (B. garinii, B. afzelii, B. bavariensis, B. miyamotoi, and B. spielmanii) have been identified. The GenBank database contains 45 nucleotide sequences of the intergenic spacer rrf (5S)-rrl (23S). Prevalence of gene species B. garinii and B. afzelii in different ticks (I. persulcatus and I. pavlovskiy) did not differ significantly, yet B. garinii was found to be more frequent than B. afzelii. The frequency of infection of I. persulcatus ticks with B. miyamotoi was significantly (3.5-fold) as compared to those of B. garinii and B. afzelii. In D. reticulatus ticks, the DNA of B. spielmanii and B. miyamotoi was detected.Conclusion. It is necessary to continue studies to assess the role of the meadow ticks D. reticulatus in the circulation of different Borrelia spp. in various natural foci within the Russian Federation.

Unboxing the black box on the dimensions of social globalisation and the efficiency of microfinance institutions in Asia
Authors: Hussain Hafezali Iqbal , Szczepańska-Woszczyna Katarzyna , Kamarudin Fakarudin , Anwar Nazratul Aina Mohamad , Saudi Mohd Haizam Mohd 
Published: September 2021

Research background: Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play an important role in alleviating poverty. Thus, MFIs should be efficient in order to ensure that their objectives on social welfare and financial performance can be achieved by identifying the potential determinants, specifically on social globalisation.
Purpose of the article: This paper examines the impacts of the social globalisation dimensions of interpersonal, informational, and cultural globalisations on the financial and social efficiency of MFIs.
Methods: The data period covered the years 2011?2018; the data set consists of 176 MFIs from six Asian countries. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach was employed to examine the MFIs? efficiency levels. Generalised Least Square (GLS) regressions were used to analyse the impacts of social globalisation and other determinants towards the efficiency of MFIs.
Findings and value added: Interpersonal globalisation had a significantly negative correlation with social efficiency, suggesting that increasing the number of foreigners in management intrudes on local managers? decisions. Informational globalisation had a significantly positive correlation with financial and social efficiency, which signifies that more information produces monopolistic profits in this industry. Finally, cultural globalisation had a positive correlation with social efficiency, demonstrating that a global trading culture improves the abilities and technological skills for labour development and enhances MFIs? social efficiency. In general, the Cobb Douglas Production theory explained the understanding of the impacts social globalisation has on MFI efficiency. Furthermore, the findings from this study could provide important scientific, practical gap and contribute new insights and implications to various parties. Firstly, governments or policymakers can establish effective national policies and strategies. Secondly, this study could support investors in monitoring and understanding the performance of MFIs. Finally, the research could fill scholarly gaps and uncover more potential factors that influence the efficiency of MFIs.
Separating aggregate discouraged and added worker effects: the case of a former transition country
Authors: Congregado Emilio , Gałecka-Burdziak Ewa , Golpe Antonio A. , Pater Robert 
Published: September 2021

Research background: We analyse the added worker effect (AWE) and the discouraged worker effect (DWE) from an aggregate perspective. The first effect refers to an increase in labour force participation in response to a decrease in the wage rate. The second effect refers to the decision by workers who have been unsuccessful in their job search to leave the labour market or to decrease their labour force participation. For our analysis, we use the case of Poland, a country with a persistently low labour force participation rate.
Purpose of the article: While previous studies focused on the net of the two effects, we aim to analyse the two effects both separately and simultaneously. We propose a new approach for analysing the two effects. We generalise and model them as resulting from different shocks: (i) the AWE as the result of a negative wage income shock, and (ii) the DWE as the result of a positive job search time shock. The underlying assumption is that both shocks have at least a transitory effect on the labour force participation rate. However, we also track the potential long-lasting effects of these shocks, and we analyse the reactions of gender and age groups to them. While this approach demonstrates the robustness of our results, it also provides the range of the sensitivity, as it shows that there are large differences in the magnitude of the AWE and the DWE for different labour market cohorts.
Methods: We use the multivariate unobserved component model to extract the AWE and the DWE, and we then use VAR models, applying sign and exclusion restrictions to model the underlying shocks. We use quarterly data for Poland in 1995?2019. Most of these data come from the Labour Force Survey, while the rest come from Statistics Poland.
Findings & value added: In contrast to previous literature, which analysed only the net effect of the two effects, we model the AWE and the DWE separately. Contrary to the findings of previous research, our approach seems to confirm that both effects are simultaneously present in the labour market, and both effects influence the labour force participation rate. Thus, we find that both effects are significant. Specifically, we show that the AWE is stronger, but transitory; while the DWE is weaker, but long-lasting.
What affects employment by NGOs? Counteraction to precarious employment in the Polish non-profit sector in the perspective of COVID-19 pandemic crises
Authors: Mikołajczak Paweł 
Published: September 2021

Research background: The precarious employment in non-governmental organizations has not been the subject of thorough scientific considerations so far. Meanwhile, the dominance of flexible forms of employment in an organization evokes a sense of instability, insecurity and uncertainty among employees. It weakens the relationship between staff and the organization, which, by not providing employees with prospects for permanent employment, creates a threat to its own development. The COVID-19 pandemic is reinforcing these fears as the situation in the labour market continues to deteriorate.
Purpose of the article: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting NGOs employment of contract employees, as a key condition for crowding out precarious employment.
Methods: Logistic regression analysis was conducted based on a national representative survey of 1500 Polish NGOs.
Findings & value added: Its results indicate that NGOs are increasing the employment of contract staff in order to cope with the excessive bureaucracy of public administration. A stimulating impact on employment is also provided by difficulties in maintaining good staff and volunteers, as well as when there is no sense of security in running an organization. In turn, the lack of people ready to selflessly get involved in an organization's activities, as well as difficulties in accessing premises appropriate to NGOs both reduce the desire among staff to be employed full-time. The monitoring of precarious employment (PE) in NGOs is of key importance in the shaping and effectiveness of national policies aimed at improving the living standards of society as a whole. NGOs are an important element, as they fill the gaps remaining in the implementation of such policies. In the long term, improving the quality of full-time employment in such entities by reducing the barriers to their activity will increase their potential for fulfilling their social mission. To date, such barriers and their relation to employment have not been considered in research literature. However, a considerable proportion of employees in the Polish NGO sector may join the ranks of those excluded from employment and deprived of income due to the crisis on the job market caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This article contributes to the existing literature and practice by identifying the influence of wide spectrum of barriers of NGOs activity on permanent employment.
Optimal Shift Scheduling at Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Kuala Muda using Goal Programming

Published: September 2021

Many workplaces encounter complex problems in preparing an optimal work scheduling to meet the 24 hours work demand especially in shift working hours. The schedule needs to consider many constraints and multi objectives at the same time. A mathematical model such as Goal programming is able to cater this kind of problems. Thus, this study was designed to provide a systematic and optimal schedule for police officers at Criminal Unit, IPD Kuala Muda, Kedah. This study is aimed to formulate the best model for the shift rotating schedule of the police officers and to find the best way to optimize the police scheduling related to the limitations, requirements of the police station and the preferences of the police. Lingo software is used to run the model. However, only one out of three goals set for the study was achieved. The new schedule obtained shows that all police officers have the same number of working days, which is 21 days in the 28-day planning period. The new schedule produced is better than the previous manual schedule since it takes less time to prepare it without neglecting the constraints involved. To improve efficiency and flexibility on the generated schedules, it is recommended to use other methods such as hybrid swarm-based optimization and many new limitations and preferences should be also considered in the analysis.
Los anarquistas rusos de Golos Truda a mediados de los años ‘20
Authors: Piemonte Víctor Augusto 
Published: September 2021

Un grupo de inmigrantes rusos anarquistas dio forma en 1917 a la Federación de Organizaciones Obreras Rusas de Sudamérica. Pese a su importancia para la historia de la inmigración y del anarquismo en la Argentina, la actividad de este grupo no resultó objeto de estudio. Este artículo tiene por objetivo recuperar y analizar la postura política plasmada en la actividad editorial de este grupo específico de inmigrantes a través de la lectura sistemática de Golos Truda, su órgano de prensa. Entre sus páginas primó el rechazo al comunismo soviético, con especial énfasis al control de los soviets ejercido por el estado y a la cruenta persecución de que fueron destinatarios los anarquistas a manos de los bolcheviques. Creado por y para anarquistas rusos en el exilio sudamericano, el periódico conservó una identidad política muy marcada, siendo su principal preocupación la situación de los anarquistas en la Rusia soviética y no el desarrollo del anarquismo en Sudamérica.

“¿Mollis o fortis femina?”: la ambigüedad del personaje de Briseida en la Historia Troyana Polimétrica
Authors: Miguens Agustina 
Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo examinará la representación del personaje de Briseida en la Historia troyana polimétrica (HTP), tomando en consideración las diferencias con su fuente directa, el Roman de Troie, y las interpretaciones que podrían haber suscitado en sus contextos de circulación, la corte angevina del siglo XII y la castellana del XIV, respectivamente. Los temas principales de las obras son las armas y el amor, los cuales se ven sintetizados en el personaje de Briseida, la cautiva enamorada de Troylo, pero que luego lo olvida en favor del griego Diomedes. Aunque la trama amorosa tiene un importante desarrollo, en consonancia con los códigos del amor cortés, la volubilidad de Briseida es severamente reprochada por el narrador en un pasaje con una clara influencia del discurso misógino medieval. Allí se retoma el tópico de la mollis femina, la mujer de voluntad débil y cambiante, en contraste con la fortis femina, fuerte y constante. Esta última aparece identificada con la referencia a “una rica dama de rico rey”, que, según el texto y el contexto de recepción, puede interpretarse tanto como una dedicatoria a una dama de la corte, como a la Virgen María, modelo de virtud femenina.
