Political opposition plays a key role in the formation and development of a democratic political system. It so happened that the activities of the political opposition in Armenia are constantly assessed as failed especially over the past five years, especially in the last five years, the existence of constructive opposition, and therefore the existence of a constructive opposition, as well as its proposals for a clear and alternative policy have become more relevant.
In such a situation, the freedom of speech for all groups of society, the right to freely express their own interests and views on key issues of social development, becomes urgent.
Consequently, the imperative of our times is to amend Article 95 of the RA Election Code, which states the distribution of mandates using D'Hondt method. The aim of the proposed change is to eliminate the concept of an absolute majority, which in the countries with a parliamentary system of governance devalues the main principle of the functioning of such a system, namely the parliamentary consensus.
The main goal of the presented article is to identify the characteristics of models of interaction between the authorities and the opposition and their manifestations in Armenia, for which the following objectives were set:
•	identify the place and role of the opposition in the political system of society,
•	present the patterns of opposition activity within the framework of a multi-party system in Armenia.
The study is based on several methodological approaches, in particular structural, functional and comparative methods.
THE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OPEN SURGERY VS MINIMALLY INVASIVE IN HIGH RISK ENDOMETRIAL CANCER
Authors: Supriyadi Agung , Andimapali Zulfikar , Fitria Adina , Whisnu Dewanegara Rahadiyan 
Published: February 2024

Background: When treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS), women with early-stage endometrial cancer recover more quickly from surgery than when they have open operations; nevertheless, there is no discernible difference in terms of overall survival or progression-free survival.
Aims : This systematic review is to review the comparison of open surgery and minimally invasive in high risk endometrial cancer
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SCIENCE DIRECT, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 144 articles, whereas the results of our search on SCIENCE DIRECT brought up 588 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 121 articles for PubMed and 175 articles for SCIENCE DIRECT. In the end, we compiled a total of 5 papers, 4 of which came from PubMed and 1 of which came from SCIENCE DIRECT. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: In summary, this systematic review of observational studies showed that the prognosis of endometrial cancer patients with high risk histology was unaffected by minimally invasive surgery and might confirm the findings of this rare but lethal malignancy.
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE RISK OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTION AND SEPSIS FOLLOWING RECONSTRUCTIVE FLAP SURGERY

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Reconstructive flap surgery, vital for addressing defects in diverse body regions, is employed in post-cancer and traumatic wound reconstruction, yielding favorable outcomes. While minor complications are well-documented, systemic complications, particularly sepsis, remain underexplored. This systematic review fills the gap by investigating sepsis incidence and associated risk factors in reconstructive flap surgery, aiming to enhance understanding, prevent complications, and improve patient care.
Method: The researchers in this study followed the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to ensure that their work met the required standards. This was done to ensure the precision and reliability of the conclusions derived from the research.
Result: Our search produced 14 results. After looking at the titles and summaries, we found several papers that fit our criteria. At first, we excluded few articles because they were written in review and case report style. But after reading the full papers carefully, we included five papers in our final analysis. These papers included retrospective review study and retrospective studies.
Conclusion: Postoperative sepsis and surgical site infections (SSIs) are significant challenges in reconstructive flap surgery, with a 2.1% sepsis incidence and identified risk factors including comorbidities, BMI, and ASA Score. Sepsis elevates 30-day mortality risk almost fivefold, emphasizing the need for preventive measures. Our study underscores the impact equivalence of SSIs and Major Postoperative Infections (MPIs) and recommends a 72-hour antibiotic prophylaxis duration in head and neck free flap surgery. Notably, preoperative recipient site infection in lower extremity tissue transfer influences graft outcomes, and longer operating time consistently predicts SSIs, necessitating strategic planning and comprehensive comorbidity management. Prospective studies are crucial for refining predictors and optimizing patient care in reconstructive flap surgery.

CRISE, FINANCERIZAÇÃO E DESAFIOS DA REDISTRIBUIÇÃO NO SÉCULO XXI
Authors: Lavinas Lena 
Published: February 2024

Este artigo aborda algumas das profundas transformações que a dominância do capitalismo financeiro vem provocando e normalizando em nossas vidas ao alterar por completo a funcionalidade da política social e a natureza dos regimes de bem-estar, ambos responsáveis pela materialização das políticas redistributivas e pelo enfrentamento das inúmeras formas de desigualdades que caracterizam todas as sociedades contemporâneas. Mais precisamente, discute-se o endividamento em massa das famílias, que passam a incorporar aos custos da sua reprodução a remuneração do capital portador de juros, o que as torna não apenas estruturalmente dependentes de acesso aos mercados financeiros, mas infinitamente mais vulneráveis no curto, médio e longo prazo também. Antes explorada, hoje a classe trabalhadora é também financeiramente expropriada por meio de dívidas. A experiência brasileira serve como estudo de caso.
The Impact of Birth Order and Parenting Style on Sibling Rivalry Among Pre-school children
Authors: Suci Helmanis 
Published: February 2024

Sibling rivalry is an important aspect of child development and family dynamics, and understanding its prevalence, incidence, and risk factor is essential for addressing the potential negative effects on a child's emotional and social well-being. This study aims to determine the correlation between birth order and parenting style and sibling rivalry at Surau Gadang Subdistrict, Siteba, Padang City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional design was implemented. A simple random sampling technique was utilized for this research. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate. The results showed that more than half of the respondents (65.8%) whose parenting style was authoritarian experienced sibling competition. A total of 85 respondents to this study, with an average age of 37.2 years. We found that birth order (p-value=0.018), parenting style (p-value=0.040) have a significant correlation with sibling rivalry. Prior to becoming a parent, it is crucial to engage in thorough preparation. A health worker in a public health center should give information not only about health but also about parenting skills.

Study on pyroptosis-related genes Casp8, Gsdmd and Trem2 in mice with cerebral infarction
Authors: Liang Shunli , Xu Linsheng , Xin Xilin , Zhang Rongbo , Wu You 
Published: February 2024

Objective
Cerebral infarction is the main cause of death in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Our research aimed to screen and validate pyroptosis-related genes in cerebral infarction for the targeted therapy of cerebral infarction.

Methods and results
A total of 1,517 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained by DESeq2 software analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis results indicated that genes of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice aged 3 months and 18 months were enriched in pyroptosis, respectively. Differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes (including Aim2, Casp8, Gsdmd, Naip2, Naip5, Naip6 and Trem2) were obtained through intersection of DEGs and genes from pyroptosis Gene Ontology Term (GO:0070269), and they were up-regulated in the brain tissues of MCAO mice in GSE137482. In addition, Casp8, Gsdmd, and Trem2 were verified to be significantly up-regulated in MCAO mice in GSE93376. The evaluation of neurologic function and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining showed that the MCAO mouse models were successfully constructed. Meanwhile, the expressions of TNF-α, pyroptosis-related proteins, Casp8, Gsdmd and Trem2 in MCAO mice were significantly up-regulated. We selected Trem2 for subsequent functional analysis. OGD treatment of BV2 cell in vitro significantly upregulated the expressions of Trem2. Subsequent downregulation of Trem2 expression in OGD-BV2 cells further increased the level of pyroptosis. Therefore, Trem2 is a protective factor regulating pyroptosis, thus influencing the progression of cerebral infarction.

Conclusions
Casp8, Gsdmd and Trem2 can regulate pyroptosis, thus affecting cerebral infarction.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases, which primarily involves the joints and may also include extra-articular manifestations, such as nodules, pulmonary involvement, vasculitis, and systemic comorbidities. Pterostilbene (PTE) is responsible for the process of angiogenesis and contributes with its anti-inflammatory properties to the rheumatoid arthritis process.
Objective: To verify whether oral Pterostilbene solution use has an effect on the acute phase of the inflammatory process in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Methodology: This experimental study was composed of 45 Rattus Norvegicus rats, Wistar strain, divided into three groups corresponding to the Control Group (CG) with no lesion and no treatment; the SHAM Group (SHAM) with lesion but no treatment, and the Pterostilbene Group (PG) with lesion and treatment. The results were evaluated by histology and flow cytometry.
Results: The lesions were characterized by a diffuse acute inflammatory process with mild to moderate intensity. It was observed that increasing proliferative activity of fibroblasts and angiogenesis occurred, besides the modulation of inflammatory cytokines, which corroborated the histological findings.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that pterostilbene, due to its anti-inflammatory activities, can control inflammation so that there are no exacerbated symptoms and lesions, in addition to stimulating structural restoration by increasing fibroblast production and angiogenesis.

Published: December 2004

AbstractThis article provides an introduction to the growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of semiconductor structures which have dimensions of the same order as interatomic distances in solids. The basic process technology is first described, followed by a brief account of surface reaction mechanisms involved in the growth of GaAs from an atomic beam of Ga and molecular beams of As4 and As2.From the study of growth dynamics using electron diffraction techniques it is shown how reduced dimensionality structures can be grown and some indication is given of the effects of quantum confinement on material properties. Finally, some recent modifications of MBE based on flux interruption are described.

Seasonal control of arsenic speciation in an estuarine ecosystem
Authors: Howard A G , Apte S C 
Published: December 2004

AbstractArsenic speciation in the Itchen estuary and Southampton Water (UK) has been shown to vary seasonally, with detectable (>0.02μg As dm−3) dissolved arsenic(III) and methylated arsenic only being present from May to early October. This corresponds to the time period during which water temperatures exceed 12°C. For the remainder of the year, inorganic arsenic(V) was the only detectable species. At its peak, ca 30% of the dissolved arsenic was present as methylated forms with dimethylarsenic (DMAs) being the predominant bioarsenical. Significant quantities of monomethyl‐arsenic (MMAs) and inorganic arsenic(III) were also present, however.The concentrations of the bioarsenical species varied with position in the estuary and generally increased with salinity. Measurements made during the period of peak algal activity implicated the highsalinity area of the estuary as the most probable region in which the methylated arsenicals are generated. At some sites, a distinct lag was observed between the appearance of dimethylarsenic and the detection of arsenic(III)and monomethylarsenic. Chlorophyll a concentration proved to be a poor predictor of the appearance of reduced and methylated arsenic in the water column. Possible sources of dissolved methylated arsenic are discussed.

Arsenic in the natural environment. Part II: Arsenic concentrations in thermal waters from Japan
Authors: Tanaka Takeshi 
Published: December 2004

AbstractArsenic is ubiquitous in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere of the earth. Hot springs in Japan have arsenic concentrations as high as 25 mg kg−1, Generally, the hotter the water the higher are the arsenic concentrations. On average, acidic waters have higher arsenic concentrations than alkaline waters. The arsenic concentrations are positively correlated with the antimony and the lead concentrations. The daily discharge of arsenic from a geothermal well may reach a total of 220 kg. The arsenic concentrations, the temperatures, and the pH values for some Japanese thermal waters are tabulated.
Growth characteristics and arsenic metabolism of two species of arsenic‐tolerant bacteria
Authors: Maeda Shigeru , Ohki Akira , Miyahara Kuniaki , Takeshita Toshio , Higashi Shiro 
Published: December 2004

AbstractTwo arsenic‐tolerant bacterial species were isolated from a contaminated culture of the alga Chlorella sp. One of the bacterial species was identified as Pseudomonas putida; both were aerobic heterotrophs. The bacteria grew well in a peptone medium of neutral pH at room temperature and reached the stationary phase in approximately four days. Growth was not impaired by arsenic concentration as high as 1000 mg dm−3 As in the form of arsenate, but decreased drastically at higher concentrations. P. putida grown in a peptone medium with 10 mg dm−3 As as arsenate, reached a maximal arsenic concentration of 67 mg kg−1 (dry mass) after 48 h of growth in the late log phase. Most of the arsenic in the cells was inorganic and 3% of the arsenic was in the trimethylated form. During the stationary phase the bacteria excreted arsenic largely in the inorganic, but also in the inorganic, but also in the mono‐, di‐, and trimethylated, forms.
Accumulation of arsenic and selenium by Dunaliella sp.
Authors: Yamaoka Yukiho , Takimura Osamu , Fuse Hiroyuki , Kamimura Kazuo 
Published: December 2004

AbstractThe unicellular marine alga, Dunaliella sp., was grown in seawater containing selenium and arsenic. Dunaliella sp. readily took up selenite from the medium over a broad range of concentrations (10−10–10−5mol dm−3). In comparison, uptake from selenate was generally minimal. Selenite was detectable in cells within 24 h and concentrations increased gradually with time. Also iron and zinc concentrations in Dunaliella sp. cells were largely affected by addition of arsenic and gallium. Arsenic concentrations in cultures were largely correlated to the accumulation of arsenic by Dunaliella sp., but did not affect the accumulation of selenium by Dunaliella sp. This implied that the accumulation process of selenium was different from that of arsenic.
Effect of metal ions on accumulation of arsenic in marine green algae, Dunaliella sp.
Authors: Takimura Osamu , Fuse Hiroyuki , Yamaoka Yukiho 
Published: December 2004

AbstractTo investigate the effect of metal ions such as cobalt(II), copper(II), molybdenum(VI) and manganese(II) on the accumulation of arsenic in Dunaliella sp., the amount of arsenic accumulated in these algae was determined under coexistence of arsenic and the other metals by the hydridegeneration atomic absorption spectrometry method. Survival of Dunaliella sp. was inhibited by the addition of copper and cobalt in a solution containing arsenic. Copper and cobalt in the medium also inhibited the accumulation of arsenic in Dunaliella sp., and the amount of arsenic in the algae decreased with increase in the concentration of copper and cobalt. On the other hand, the amount of arsenic accumulated in Dunaliella sp. was found to be unaffected by manganese and molybdenum in the solution.
