Abstract: The paper presents a new class of intellectual agent’s models for artificial immune system with multi-agent platform. The fuzzy artificial immune system is used to design a general hybrid approach to monitoring system. The paper proposes multilevel structure of hybrid monitoring system with multi-agent cooperation and classification of fault event processing. On high level, artificial immune system produces agents, which are equipped with fuzzy classification algorithms. On low level, proposed system behave itself as fuzzy-dynamical system for registering and processing a sequence of fault events. The detailed structure and mathematical model of proposed fuzzy-dynamical system is developed. Fuzzy dynamical model of autonomous intelligent agent using nonlinear autoregression model is developed.

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the residual effects of organic manures and different level of recommended fertilizer dose (RFD) on the yield and nutrient uptake of BBRI dhan29 at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. The experiment containing seven treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were T0 (Control), T1 (100% RFD), T2 (75% RFD + residual effect of CD 5 t ha-1), T3 (75% RFD + residual effect of PM 3 t ha-1), T4 (75% RFD + residual effect of residual effect of Com. 5 t ha-1), T5 (75% RFD + residual effect of CD 2.5 t ha-1, PM 1.5 t ha-1, and Com 2.5 t ha-1) and T6 (50% RFD + residual effect of CD 2.5 t ha-1, PM 1.5 t ha-1, and Com. 2.5 t ha-1). The manures viz. cowdung (CD), poultry manure (PD) and compost (Com.) was applied to the previous crop (T. Aman rice). The recommended doses of fertilizers were used to supply N, P, K and S @ 140, 15, 60 and 15 kg ha-1, respectively to the present crop. Residual effects of organic manure with inorganic fertilizers significantly increased the yield attributes as well as grain and straw yields of rice. Treatment T6 (50% RFD + residual effect of CD 2.5 t ha-1, PM 1.5 t ha-1, and Com. 2.5 t ha-1) produced the highest grain yield (6.87 t ha-1) and straw yield (7.24 t ha-1). The lowest grain yield (3.22 t ha-1) and straw yield (4.55 t ha-1) were found in T0 (Control) treatment. Further, it was observed that T2 (75% RFD + CD 5 t ha-1) performed better compared to T3 (75% RFD + PM 3 t ha-1) and T4 (75% RFD + Com 5 t ha-1) in exerting residual effects. The NPKS contents and uptake were markedly influenced by residual effects of manures and fertilizers. Therefore, treatment T6 receiving 50% RFD along with the residual effect of 2.5 t ha-1 cowdung, 1.5 t ha-1 poultry manure and 2.5 t ha-1 compost was found to be the best combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers for obtaining the maximum yield of BRRI dhan29.

Abstract: Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is an acute, fatal septicaemic bacterial disease, mainly in South and Southeast Asia, Africa and India which caused by Pasteurella multocida, a gram negative coccobacilli bacterium. The effectiveness and safety of available treatment and vaccines are limited due to antimicrobial resistance. The objective of this study was to characterize recombinant protein of Pasteurella multocida in developing vaccine against HS. Results: Bacterial culture strain was cultured in brain heart infusion (BHI) medium. Soluble proteins were extracted and separated electrophoretically using 12% gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Immunogenic soluble proteins were detected by western blotting using anti-Pasteurella serum raised in rabbit against whole cell antigens of Pasteurella multocida and anti-rabbit antibody and identified. Recombinant protein was then expressed and transformed in E.coli. Expression and purification of recombinant protein was analyzed using SDS-Page.    The separation of soluble proteins showed various molecular weights on the gel, ranging from 10kDA to 170kDA. According to the western blot analysis, the most intense band detected was of approximately 28kDA and identified as lipoprotein B. Immunogenicity study of soluble protein will be carried out in response to immunogenic roles against HS and potential role in vaccine development. Purified recombinant protein size was obtained approximately 39kDa after electropherically separated using 12% SDS-Page. Conclusion: According to the immunoblotting analysis, intensity band of purified recombinant protein treated with antisera from immunized rabbit detected on film was 5398.78 with p-value equal to 0.0006 (p-value < 0.05). Expression and purification of recombinant protein of P.multocida was characterized and indicated. Further study on the immunogenicity study of recombinant protein will be carried out in response to immunogenic roles against HS and potential role in vaccine development.

Abstract: Bioflocculants are biopolymers produced by microrganisms and used for the removal of colloidal particles from solution. This research aimed to explore the potentiality of marine actinobacteria to produce biofloculants. Nocardiopsis aegyptia sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from marine sediment of Alexandria was assessed for its bioflocculant-producing potential. Some factors affecting its production were investigated. The favorable carbon and nitrogen sources were glucose and peptone, with an optimal initial pH of 7. The highest flocculating efficiency achieved for kaolin suspension was 89 %, after 96 h of cultivation. The high activity of Nocardiopsis aegyptia bioflocculant suggests its potential application on a commercial scale. It has the advantage of good performance under high salinity and alkaline condition. The bioflocculant was purified to homogeneity by ethanol precipitation. The chemical analysis of the purified product revealed that it contained mainly polysaccharide (85%) and protein (7%). FTIR analysis indicated the presence of carboxyl, hydroxyl and amino functional groups. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the purified biofocculant showed a porous crystal-linear flute-like structure.

Abstract: The study of innate immunity at allergies is vital; however, there are not enough data on the role innate immunity in polysensitization or drug hypersensitivity. Five groups of patients with different nature of the hypersensitivity were studied: a group with a proved hypersensitivity to one drug (n =49); a group with multiple drug hypersensitivity (n=18); a group with a non-drug hypersensitivity (n=37); a group with multiple non-drug hypersensitivity (n=53) and the control group with no any signs of drug and no-drug hypersensitivity (n = 39). The level of TLR-2 and TLR -9 gene expressions were assessed in peripheral blood mononuclears by relative quantification PCR compared with Beta-actin gene as a reference. As a result, expression of the TLR-9 gene was down-regulated in the group with multiple drug hypersensitivity. There were no significant differences in TLR2 and TLR9 gene between other groups.

Abstract: The Selembu (Bos frontalis) is an interspecific hybrid of the Gaur and domestic cattle. Here, we identified the phylogenetic position of the Selembu with other cattle via nuclear DNA sequence data using the Prolactin Receptor (PRLR). The genetic samples consisted of 25 cattle DNA samples from 5 Selembu, 4 Malayan Gaurs, 1 Banteng, 5 Bali, 4 Taurine and 6 Zebu cattle. DNA sequences of 890 bp were analyzed using Neighbor Joining (NJ) and Maximum Parsimony (MP). The tree topologies indicated that the Selembu deposited in a clade of domestic cattle consisting of Zebu and Taurine cattle. The PRLR gene showed its effectiveness in explaining the phylogenetic position of the Selembu with other cattle.

Abstract: Average surface roughness value (Ra) is an important measure of the quality of a machined work piece. Lower the Ra value, the higher is the work piece quality and vice versa. It is therefore desirable to develop mathematical models that can predict the minimal Ra value and the associated machining conditions that can lead to this value. In this paper, real experimental data from an end milling process is used to develop models for predicating minimum Ra value. Two machine learning techniques, Model Tree and Sequential Minimal Optimization based Support Vector Machine, which have not been used before to model surface roughness, were applied to the training data to build prediction models. The developed models were then applied to the test data to determine minimum Ra value. Results indicate that both techniques reduced the minimum Ra value of experimental data by 4.2% and 2.1% respectively compared to the previously reported values. Model trees are found to be better than other approaches in predicting minimum Ra value.

Abstract: This study aims at evaluating the level of technical performance of the Jordan National Team of the Basket ball players for the years (2010/2011/2012). Moreover it aims at getting acquainted knowledg of the difference in the level of technical performance amongst these players due to the variable of the year. Data were statistically analyzed by extracting the arithmetic means, standard deviations, and analyzed the multi-ANOVA to the finding differences among the three years of the study. Our results revealed that there is a significant decline of the technical performance level amongst the basket ball national team players, and non-development of the technical level starting from the first year (the subject of study) until the following years, in addition to non-existence of differences, with statistical indication of some technical performances amongst the indicated three years. In light of deductions of the study, researchers recommend the necessity of looking for specialized trainers in the basket ball game, and motivate players by increasing salaries and financial rewards. Also we recommend the saving possibilities concerning play grounds and tools, and also showing concern with the local player following the example of the foreign player.

Abstract: The development of accurate mathematical relationships between the primary traffic flow parameters has a significant effect on the ability to accurately capture the operational characteristics on the roadway segment under different demand conditions. The focus of this research was on developing the functions relating those traffic flow parameters for multi-lane roadways. After the functions were developed, their output was compared to results provided by the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) in addition to other models available in the literature and the results of the comparison are presented in this paper. The model output comparison showed that models developed by this research performed well for multi-lane roadways with speed limits of 60km/h and 80km/h compared to other models. However, the models also showed very high traffic density values compared to what is available in the literature. The results from this research could be used mainly for the calibration of the speed-flow model that could be used to enhance the accuracy of traffic simulation models and their different related applications.

Abstract: Introduction: Symptomatic gallbladder disease is the second most common abdominal emergency in pregnant women. Laparoscopic surgery in pregnant women was considered to be a contraindication. However, the safety of laparoscopy in this population has been widely accepted. This study shows our experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy during pregnancy in 11 patients. Material and Methods: Patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy between January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2014 were selected from databases of three private hospital in Jeddah, KSA, only 11 were performed during pregnancy. Medical records were then analyzed to identify estimated gestational age at surgery and delivery, operative data, postoperative follow up and complications from surgery. We also reviewed the literature regarding this topic. Results: Out of the 11 pregnant patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, one patient was in the first trimester, 9 patients were in the second trimester and one was in the third trimester. Eight patients were operated for recurrent attacks of biliary colic, two patients for acute cholecystitis and one patient for gallstone pancreatitis. Tocolytic agents was used in one patient and all the patients went on to deliver at the full term. There was no abortion or fetal loss, and no maternal mortality. Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely conducted in pregnant patients, in any trimester. It has to be done by an experienced surgeon in cooperation with an obstetrician. However the indications should be restricted to patients with complications or to those suffering from repeated and persistent symptoms not responding to medical management.

Abstract: Genetic variability and heterosis was studied for the characters of no. of effective tiller, no. of ineffective tiller, initial flowering, no. of filled grain/panicle and no. of unfilled grain/panicle for six newly developed hybrids. In this study high heritability with high genetic advance (GA) was found for the character of initial flowering, no. of effective tiller/hill and no. of filled grain/panicle. Therefore considerable scope for improvement of rice exists by selecting of those characters. In case of hybrids the cross RGBU010 A X LP70 R, RGBU012 A X LP70 R, and RGBU013 A X Gold R were found promising for developing improved rice variety as they shown vigor for yield contributing character including initial flowering, no. of effective tiller/hill and no. of filled grain/panicle.

Abstract: Background: Insulin resistance is a state in which a given concentration of insulin produces a less than expected biological effect. Chronic (HCV) infection triggers a multistep vicious cycle of insulin resistance (IR) and hyperinsulinaemia that gradually progress to frank type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). HCV induces several complex mechanisms that lead to inflammation, insulin resistance, steatosis, fibrosis, apoptosis, altered gene expression, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Up to one third of patients with chronic (HCV) develop type 2 DM. This prevalence is much higher than that observed in the general population and in patients with other chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis B virus, alcoholic liver disease and primary liver cirrhosis. Resistin, an adipose-derived polypeptide hormone, offers a novel application potential as a clinical biomarker in the assessment of liver cirrhosis. Elevated resistin may contribute to insulin resistance in advanced liver dysfunction. Objective: To assess the level of resistin hormone in patients with chronic HCV and in Type 2 diabetic patients and its possible relation to insulin resistance and severity of liver disease in HCV patients. Study design: This study was conducted on sixty patients recruited from the Hepatology Clinic and Internal Medicine out-patients clinic of Ain Shams University Hospitals. Patients were divided into 4 groups, Group (1): This group included 15 patients with type 2 DM and compensated chronic HCV infection (child A), Group (2) This group included 15 patients with type 2 DM and decompensated chronic HCV infection (child C), Group (3) This group included 15 patients with type 2 DM and normal liver function tests (clinical, biochemical and by ultra sound). Group (4) this group included 15 normal subjects as a control group without any metabolic or liver diseases. Results: serum Resistin was significantly higher among group (2) Diabetic patients with decompensated liver disease (19.20±3.19 ng/ml) than group (1) (15.68±3.42 ng/ml) group (3) (15.29±3.04) and group (4) (5.09±2.00) (P<0.01). Group 2 had significant higher FBG, Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, AST, ALT, PT, Bilirubin and significant lower serum albumin when compared to other groups.Correlation studies showed a significant direct correlation between Resistin and FBG (r = 0.780), fasting insulin(r = 0.839) and HOMA-IR (r = 0.685) in group 1,and a significant direct correlation between resistin and FBG (r = 0.847), and HOMA-IR (r = 0.812) in group 2, in group 3 there was a significant direct correlation between resistin and fasting insulin (r = 0.937), HOMA-IR (r = 0.784) and a direct significant correlation between resistin and Fasting insulin (r = 0.910), HOMA-IR (r = 0.905) and a significant indirect correlation between Resistin and serum albumin (r = - 0.519) in group 4.Conclusion: Resistin is increased in IR cases like type 2 DM and HCV patients and is related to the severity of liver disease.

Abstract: In this report, we presented three high-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations of the form . These proposed iterative methods are obtained by combining a fourth-order iterative method with the classical Newton’s method and approximating the first derivative in the third step by three different approaches of combinations of previously evaluated function values. The convergence analyses of the new methods are discussed, and several examples are given to illustrate the methods’ efficiency.

Abstract: Background: Cisplatin (CP) is one of the most active cytotoxic drugs. However, it has several side effects that are associated with increased oxidative stress. Aged garlic extract (AGE) is a natural product containing different compounds with antioxidant activity. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of AGE against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity. Material & Methods: Twenty four adult male Wistar rats were divided into four equal groups: control, AGE -treated, CP-treated, combined AGE and CP-treated. All rats were weighed once every three days. On the 22th. day, the rats were anesthetized by ether inhalation then blood samples were collected to assess liver biomarkers and the liver of each rat was excised, cleaned and weighed. Examination of liver was performed using light and electron microscopy. Results: CP-treated rats exhibited a significant increase in the serum levels of liver enzymes in addition to the significant reduction in the body and liver weights. Also, livers of CP-treated rats showed different histopathological and ultrastructural changes in the form of necrotic changes, dilatation and congestion of central vein, blood sinusoids and portal venules, hyperplasia of bile canaliculi, rarified cytoplasm containing dilated RER, pleomorphic mitochondria and many lysosomes and different apoptotic nuclear changes. However, animals pretreated with AGE showed significant decrease in the serum level of liver biomarkers and an improvement in the histopathological and ultrastructural changes of hepatocytes induced by CP. Conclusion: AGE has an ameliorative effect against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity and could be used as a dietary supplementation to reduce cisplatin toxic side effects.

Abstract: Background: To date, there have been no published studies on the pattern of otolaryngological (ORL) problems in syndromic patients in Saudi Arabia. Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the significant otolaryngological problems that affect the most common syndromic patients attending to the Medical Genetic Clinic (MGC) at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) and to reveal the implications of routine ORL screening to help in the evaluation and management of affected patients. Method: This retrospective study was conducted among 124 syndromic patients at the MGC in KAU. All individulas with a syndromic diagnosis known to have ORL problems or who sufferd from speech delay were refered routinely from the MGC to the ORL clinic. The data were collected from medical records and focused on airway, otological and speech abnormalities. The following investigations were reviewed: lateral neck X-ray, tympanogram, audiogram, auditory brainstem response (ABR), and ORL surgeries. Results: The most common syndrome was Down syndrome (90.3%) followed by the 22q11 spectrum disorder (5.6%). The most common otological problem was conductive hearing loss (21%), and the most common airway problem was mouth breathing (15%). Adenoidectomy was the most common surgery (12.5%) followed by tonsillectomy (10.7%). Of the syndromic patients who were reffered for screening without any complaints, 42.5% had an incidental finding of otological defects, and 37% had airway problems. Conclusion: A significant proportion of syndromic individuals suffered from ORL issues even in the absence of clinical symptoms. Recommendation: All individuals with facial dysmorphic features should receive a comprehensive ORL evaluation. This evaluation will lead to timely intervention and better clinical and learning outcomes.

Abstract: Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) used for Electric Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) are capable for achieving superior storage performances to that of any of its single storage components. This paper presents the design of an HESS that enables for the desired performance characteristics of an HEV in terms of power and energy requirements. The HESS is composed with Lithium-ion battery and super-capacitors packs. Each single storage element is connected via a particular DC/DC power converter to a common DC-link. The design aims to find the optimal parameters of the different devices according to a proposed set of specifications. A comparison between two DC/DC converter topologies interfacing the HESS to the DC link is also performed. The studied topologies concern classic and Three Level (TL) DC/DC boost and buck/boost converters. The obtained results show that the TL converters enables for a reduced cost, weight and volume and allows for the best utilization of battery and super-capacitor technologies for both high energy and high power densities. Matlab/Simulink models of battery, super-capacitors and of the different DC/DC converter topologies are developed. The system behaviour and performance results are obtained and discussed.

Abstract: The article examines traditional socio-cultural practices for reproduction of cultures of indigenous peoples and specifies the criteria for their analysis. The study of the current state of traditional cultures of Selkups, Nenets, and Essey Yakuts with the emphasis on funeral rites of these ethnic groups is conducted. The authors try to discover the factors, contributing to preservation of traditional culture. It is suggested that the most appropriate step to preserve the uniqueness of indigenous cultures might be fixation of their current state, which should be started as soon as possible, before the irreversible changes, caused by globalization, have completely adsorbed traditional cultures.

Abstract: Numerous attempts to find the “key” to the identity of a people, sooner or later lead to the need for the analytical approach to mythological-poetical, epic and cultural heritage of peoples studied. This paper presents the analysis of the traditional Yakut epos Olonkho, which is considered by the group of researchers as a mechanism for establishing and maintaining ethnic integrity of the people. The presented results of the research, including the data obtained by the authors in field research, are based on the methods of linguistic and cultural analysis and social constructivism, and serve as key positions, forming a special, integrated self-perception of Yakuts – this process is assisted by the unique properties inherent in the epos itself, such as: fixating the special place of this ethnic group in human history, presence of heroes of universal importance, with supreme physical and spiritual qualities, given by gods; and the sacral connection with the traditional features of everyday life. The content and features of performance of Olonkho is a model illustrating these properties.

Abstract. In the course of the study, there was confirmed a hypothesis for greater labor satisfaction of employees being lawfully married compared to unmarried ones. Administrative and managerial staff having a family and being married, having achieved the desired, occupies more powerful positions, and their desire for stability leads to higher labor satisfaction. There was revealed a significant positive correlation between age of the managerial personnel in the organization and labor satisfaction. Simultaneously there was rejected the hypothesis of the influence of the labor process content and working conditions on the interest of managerial staff in exercising their powers in the organization.

Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Mira Str., 19, Yekaterinburg, 620002, Russia 

 

Abstract. The goal of research is to find language special aspects of informal communication. Informal communication is a communicative sphere where speech-creating behavior of communicants meets the natural need not to be constrained in means of self expression and interaction with other people. The language novations of this communicative sphere can not be self consistent and included to written official sources. The novelty of informal communication discourse is determined by the next principles of language and text manipulation: first, the principle of refusing known planes of expression (by using occasional and potential units which correlate with several producing words; by using potential of infringed orthographical norms); second, the principle of contrast which basic function is determined by mechanism of joint realization of methods in one context. These methods create contradictory meanings, combinations, communicative effects.

Abstract. The author tries to interpret the genre specificity of anti-utopia in its modern transformation, to reveal the problematics of specificity of the anti-utopia literary genre. This genre proved its urgent character at different stages of literary process, its ideologic-aesthetic role has especially increased in recent times. Having a wide experience of traditions, anti-utopia is notable for active innovations and a search for new genre varieties and artistic principles. In the process of study of this topic, the author comes to conclusion that the anti-utopia of the beginning of XXI century presents a complex artistic phenomenon, revealing not only traditional for this genre topics, but also a wide spectrum of other humanitarian problems, urgent for modern reality. It is conditioned by the dynamic character of anti-utopian discourse in the context of modern cultures: widening of spreading area in the beginning, bloom in the second half and genre transformation in the end of the XX century. This material provides an opportunity to make the ideas about modern existence of anti-utopia more profound.

Abstract. For a determination of limits in a provision of required quality of force control in the discussed electromechanical force compensation systems (FCS), it is proposed to perform synthesis of control devices in optimal statement with an implementation of a linearized model. The objective of the presented study is a solution, in optimal statement, of a problem of a force regulator’s synthesis in FCS, which comprises elastic mechanical gears, significant force of friction and inertia, which are additionally attached to weight relieved object of masses. It is reasonable to solve problems of synthesis of forces' optimal control in gears' elastic elements in FCS, which compensate force of gravity of weight relieved object, using methods of classical variations calculus. An application of integral criterion of forces' control quality will allow to determine a rational structure and synthesize optimal parameters' values a force regulator, during an operation of FCS in a context of uncertain perturbation actions. Performed theoretical and experimental studies demonstrated effectiveness of the synthesized force regulator in FCS in a case of changes in uniform perturbation actions. The synthesized force regulator allows reduce static error of force control in 36.5 times, and overcontrol of force in elastic mechanical gear - in 5.5 times as compared with the initial mechanical system without an electric drive. The proposed method for a synthesis of optimal force regulator in FCS was tested during a creation of training simulator "Exit 2", which was designed to train astronauts in a spacesuit with total weight of 250 kg for a work in a condition of zero gravity, and during a creation of balanced type manipulators MP100 with 100 kg load-carrying capability.

Abstract. Sustainable development management includes three major components: environmental, social, economic. This paper is focused on environmental part. The article discusses result-oriented budgeting approach in the analysis of environmental governance in the Republic of Kazakhstan on the way to sustainable development.  With this paper we attempt to estimate the environmental governance in the Republic of Kazakhstan based on this new for Kazakhstan approach. We find that according to the Strategic plan of Ministry of environment and water resources in Kazakhstan for 2014-2018 key indicators are difficult to estimate as they are not adequate. There is lack of sufficient and precise indicators which need to be implemented in Strategic documents and programmes of development on regional and country levels in Kazakhstan.

Abstract. Present work demonstrates the influence of the engine size, car production year and fuel type on suspended solid particles of the car exhaust. The investigated machine group (N = 21) showed no influence on the particle size distribution caused by engine displacement and type of fuel. It is shown that almost new cars (less than 400 km travelled) are the most frequent source of the particles with an average diameter of about 10 microns or less.

Abstract. The article comprises the analysis of lexical innovations which source of origin lies in the political sphere. Different approaches to definition of such terms as “discourse” and “political discourse” are discussed here and a number of works related to this subject are reviewed. And also structural and semantic analysis of lexical innovations is made. The majority of the lexical formations, investigated within this article, represent compound and abbreviated structures. New lexical formations or neo-lexical units, political ideologems or ideological units with political character, polysemants or polysemantic words and foreign-language borrowings are discussed as the types of lexical innovations in political discourse which influence on the perception of political information.

Abstract. The Article presents an innovative tool for marketing communications at the points of sale. A taste sensation was picked as a channel to transmit a marketing message at the time of choosing and testing of consumer, non-food related goods. The focus of this research became a non-food related item. Whereby two consumer behaviour parameters were measured, namely the emotional state of the respondent as well as the retail price of the tested item acceptable for him. We arrived at the conclusion that the use of the sensory channel under scrutiny as a channel for marketing communications at the points of sale is viable and help to modify the perceived consumer value of the trade offer through a targeted alteration of the emotional perception of the clients.

Abstract. Technology of recording spectra of secondary radiation of bioactive specimens that makes it possible to perform express analysis of molecular structures of various classes was developed. The FSD Soft software package has been proposed for analyzing fluorescence spectra and mathematical treatment thereof. The software used made it possible to choose the scan mode (discrete or continuous) directly from the application window; to set exposure time for optical sensor; and to average measured spectrum in case of strong noise in measured radiation. Correlation functions have been built for identifying drugs from various manufacturers. Corresponding correlation coefficients have been calculated for analyzed drugs in relation to the standard. It has been shown that the calculated correlation functions make it possible to obtain highly accurate information about conformity of the sample analyzed to the standard.

Abstract. A method of identifying biologically active drugs by manufacturers has been developed on the example of aspirin, citramonum, analgin, paracetamol and caffeine. The method is based on fiber-optical detection of the photoluminescence spectra using optical channels - photon traps, compact spectrometer and a data processing system that makes it possible to compare analyzed spectrum with the spectrum of reference substance. Difference has been established between photoluminescence spectra of aqueous solutions of pharmaceutical drugs and their pill form. With that, transition effect has been observed in the spectra from the mode of spontaneous photoluminescence to the superluminescence mode. It has been found that the nature of superluminescence is similar to the well-known mechanism in dye lasers. Based on the established superluminescence effect, it is possible to create new types of lasers with tunable frequency of generation in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.

Abstract. This research investigates the implementation of the Tatar language as a state language in 20-30-of the XX century in comparison with today’s language policy of the Republic of Tatarstan. The main emphasis is at the functioning of the Tatar language in various educational institutions of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialists Republic (Tatarstan), and also at the research of the activity of the Academic center and Scientific Society of the study of the Tatars. The main difficulties that hampered the process of the implementation of the Tatar language as a state language in a given historical moment were indentified. Language policy as a part of national policy is implemented according to interests and commitments of State and is based on doctrines which may differ significantly in their structure and ideological orientation. Language policy and language planning in multinational Tatarstan are a conceptual aspect, which impacts momentum to linguistic processes as in other ethnic region of Russia as in the whole Federation.

Abstract. The problem of drug abuse and use of other psychoactive substances (PAS) in children, adolescents and young adults is extremely pressing both in Russia and abroad. The spread of drug addiction in Russia is a global threat to public health, state economy, law enforcement and national security. A number of addicts are tending upwards, while their average age is reduced.

Abstract. This research investigates the implementation of the Tatar language as a state language in 20-30-of the XX century in comparison with today’s language policy of the Republic of Tatarstan. The main emphasis is at the functioning of the Tatar language in various educational institutions of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialists Republic (Tatarstan), and also at the research of the activity of the Academic center and Scientific Society of the study of the Tatars. The main difficulties that hampered the process of the implementation of the Tatar language as a state language in a given historical moment were indentified. Language policy as a part of national policy is implemented according to interests and commitments of State and is based on doctrines which may differ significantly in their structure and ideological orientation. Language policy and language planning in multinational Tatarstan are a conceptual aspect, which impacts momentum to linguistic processes as in other ethnic region of Russia as in the whole Federation.

Abstract. A framework for design and developing the intelligent system of knowledge monitoring and evaluation using an answer in a natural language is suggested in the article. Using the conventional tests involves the answer selection based on a dual logic, only in case of the strictly formal questions asked. This results in quite simple questions. But acquiring knowledge includes not only (and not so much) remembering a priori true facts, but also the ability to understand the common phenomena and trends. The open test tasks (without any given answer) are more effective for managing the knowledge. Hence, we have presented an approach to analysing the ontology-based text for automatic evaluation of the students' answers in a natural language (the Kazakh language).

Abstract. The article deals with the perspectives of metaphor theory development. The main aim is to present the results of metaphor research within the Ural linguistic school, known by its views on language as a dynamic process. We try to show the evolution of views on metaphor from the assumption that it is analogous to communicative syntax, to the conceptual and discursive views on metaphor. We suggest that metaphor is the main mechanism of discourse formation, since it provides professional knowledge development. Such view would differ from traditional ones by being dynamic, cognitive and anthropocentric. In this research we also set out to discuss the role of political metaphor as a type of knowledge transfer. We do not concern only with metaphor theory, but also with metaphor pragmatics, seen in persuasive character of political metaphors. The study of metaphor by means of cognitively oriented views makes it possible to enrich the subject of research and develop the foundation of metaphorology.

Abstract. The investigation is dedicated to the study and analysis of the advance reflection phenomenon as a factor which contributes to the birth of the new artistic worlds, new senses and values and new artistic-aesthetic and axiological paradigms in culture. The urgency and importance of the problem are hard to be overestimated since we constantly come across this phenomenon and every time there appears a discussion between the "conservatives" and the "innovators" who deny or prove the validity of the current changes. These discussions are characterised by the fierce opposition. That's why it is very important to study the essence of the advance reflection phenomenon in the wide historical prospective. This comprise the content of this work, the main goal of which is the attraction of the scientific community attention to the revealing the essence, content and mechanisms of the advance reflection phenomenon, which affect the change of the artistic-aesthetic and axiological paradigms in culture. The author gradually exposes the origins of the phenomenon and its peculiarities, presents its interpretation in the modern humanities knowledge. The author reveals the consistent pattern which allows the author to claim that the art which has the constant advance reflection phenomenon is the ambassador of the new aboring senses and values through the whole historical development of culture. The work represents the author concept according to which the advance reflection phenomenon is the expression of the self-developing culture essence. The art plays here the role of the active engine directed to the artistic creation and further world modelling that complies with the human-as-a-creator nature and culture creation.

Abstract. In Russia small business is underdeveloped compared to other countries although unemployment rate is high, especially in some constituents of the Russian Federation. The authors have analyzed financial environment of small business performance. The analysis of this environment has revealed the need for state financing backing of small business entities. Tax remissions, public contract quotas, service tariffs benefits, state guarantee, etc. are financial backing tools. However current forms of state financing backing are insufficient. The need for additions to forms of state financing backing enabling to develop small business is substantiated in this article.

Abstract. The authors of the article mainly focus their attention on assessing the current role of investments and first of all personal savings in development of the economy. Nowadays the major problem is speculative use of investment resources in the economy which is mediated by the system specificity of modern financial markets characterized by market liberalization and deregulation. It is underlined that stock market tools are foremost aimed at making a price profit rather than profit from actual production which has a direct impact on saving preferences of population.

By the type of the risk function of the whole system, and, consequently, the maximum allowable number of damages, analytical expressions for finding risk parameters for components were obtained so that the found overall risk of the system corresponds to the desired type. Some ways of specifying the type for overall system risk are defined, as well as points of extremes, while the number of maximums of the defined function whose graph fluctuates within the unevenness band is to be equal to the number of servers in the system. An algorithm is proposed for еру implementation of synthesis with a predefined level of risk.

Abstract. The horizontal dynamics of the value worlds in the stable society. The type of moral consciousness is a detailed characteristics of the personality based on the active, creative essence of the person, on the historical succession of moral, on the prevailing in the moral consciousness of such values as: communitarism, hedonism or pragmatism. The types of moral consciousness – communitarist, pragmatist, hedonist are the measure for the definition of the changeable value world. The horizontal and vertical dynamics create the picture of the change of the institutional forms of the moral consciousness of the society: the system of the value worlds.

Abstract. This article reveals the role of word-building in the performance of such drug addicts' jargon functions as nominative, utilitarian, worldview, pseudo-aesthetic, playing, agitational, symbolic, identification, and conspiratorial. Based on a material of vocabulary gathered during the regional sociolinguistic studies, as well as in the analysis of dictionaries of drug addicts’ jargon the word-building means of implementing of named functions are studied; the issue of natural causes of drug addicts' jargon "conspiracy" is discussed; it is concluded that drug addicts' jargon is not a primitive subsystem of their language, and its negative assessment on the part of scientists is often caused by a negative attitude to the phenomenon of drug addiction.

Abstract. The article covers the questions about the pedagogic conditions and methods of education intensification on the “Theoretical Mechanics” course at university. After this course students must have not only theoretical knowledge but also skills in various engineering tasks. Thus all participants of education should be provided with information support. The article shows that this can be efficiently implemented only on the basis of electronic learning resources worked out, for example, in Moodle LMS with the help of application programs. Interactive forms and the elements of distance learning make student’s work more active and efficient. In its turn, this intensifies the whole education.

Abstract. Socio-economic development currently varies in all of Russia’s regions. This imbalance in regional development is related to levels of use, and to the formation of fiscal capacities. These capacities are reflected in the level of employment, the level of financial resources available for capital investment, and in the risk of payable priority obligations—levels of which are currently quite high—compared to the average level in the Russian Federation, relative to the fiscal income of the regions. These trends result from the poor quality of budget management and financial planning, as well as from poor quality control of tax potentials and available resources in the regions.

Abstract. In the presented paper physical principles of thermoionic emissions phenomenon and principles of thermoemission converters' construction are presented. Also, ultrasonic electronic emission phenomenon and its application in thermoemission converters are justified. Ultrasonic electronic emission phenomenon is similar in nature to thermoionic emission, and ultrasonic effect allows to increase emissions current with a reduction of operating temperatures of a converter. Ultrasonic effect also would greatly increase efficiency of converter and its service life, because its elements will be able to work at lower temperatures.

Abstract. Contemporary evaluation techniques to assess the contribution of the creative economy in the innovative development of the territories are quite diverse and include most of the important approaches to the study of the structure and effect of the creative industries. The models are built based on the evaluation of the statistical data array from different countries and territories. These models have shown practical importance for the elaboration of the regional development strategy. At the same time adapting foreign techniques is not always possible due to the lack of statistical information, the measurement errors or the impossibility of direct transferring of a particular methodology. The article considers the up-to-date techniques to evaluate the effect of the creative industries, with consideration of possibility to apply these techniques to analyze the effect of the creative economy in the development of the Russian regions.

Abstract. The article considers methodical issues of sustainable management of objects with negative self-regulation using both conventional methods and original approaches, consisting in the application of two functions additional to PID-control. The first control function is associated with the binding of the controlled variable in a predetermined range, while the second one is related to correction of this variable to achieve the required control precision. The methods of mathematical modeling of control processes in closed systems serve to test the effectiveness of the proposed additional control functions. Author proposes correlations for optimal tuning of PID-controller in the management of the object with a negative self-regulation with and without application of the additional control functions. It is shown that, when using additional functions, management quality of the object with a negative self-regulation is not inferior to that of the objects with a positive self-regulation, when using conventional methods.

Abstract. At the moment the combustion chamber (CC) is the major unit of a gas turbine engine (GTE), the improvement of which in the long term will determine the improvement of its environmental, resource and others characteristics. The combustion chambers have been designed using conventional methods for quite a long time, where the CC basic geometrical dimensions, the air distribution law and the integral parameter distribution in the basic sections have been determined by calculations. As the design of both the GTE and its combustion chambers became more complicated, there appeared a need to assess at the design stage not only the integral parameters distribution, but also their local values. It provides, for example, a longer fault-free performance of the flame can wall or the turbine engine, and, consequently, a longer engine lifetime in general. In this paper, the approaches to the CC integrated design of the aircraft GTE are expounded in the form of the implemented solution of the designer’s objectives. These approaches will ensure the implementation of the main requirements to them. It has been shown how to achieve the desired characteristics of the combustion chamber by improving the performance of its main elements, such as a diffuser, and in case of a multi- injector circuit also by optimizing the distribution of fuel between the injector circuits. The outlined approaches allow solving practical objectives to reduce emissions of air pollutants by a projected combustion chamber and to improve the engine service life rate.

Abstract. In a modern sociocultural situation a man is situated in the field of cultures interaction with which demands from him dialogueness and tolerance. Ethnoses function due to the fact that they “produce” a certain system of preservation and transmission of ethno-cultural experience to the new generations. The problem of a gap and succession of generations is one of the most important for society, and the problem of formation of cultural generation on the basis of multicultural education and access to the wealth of ethnoculture appears today as a key one. The revival and preservation of ethnoculture become possible only in the case of identification, preservation and development of cultural dominants of ethnos, through its use in teaching practice. The education becomes adequate to the constantly changing demands of life of ethno- and multicultural Russian community. For organization of general education in a culturological key the high-quality ethno-cultural training of teachers is of importance. The results of an experimental research, concerning the approbation of a model of ethno-cultural training of students in the conditions of pedagogical higher education institution, are presented in the article.

Abstract. The concepts of an image, state, region and cities turned out to be an effective instrument in the tourist industry since it handles these concepts. Tourism has an advantageous multiplier effect and serves as an accelerator of the social-economic development. As the social development is taking place within the territory and the change of the functional status of territories and cities' image is an all-around and continuous process, the evaluation of cities' role in the touristic attraction of the region is an urgent task. This article studies main functional components of a city from the viewpoint of a touristic attraction (presence of recreation resources, ease of travel to the touristic object, presence of foodservice outlets and accommodation means) and their significance in the formation of the touristic brand. Basing on the numerical score the authors calculated an integral index which shows the level of touristic-recreation sphere development of the cities in the Republic of Tatarstan. As the result of the conducted investigation the authors pointed out some problem issues which are connected with the insufficient or limited resource base, unsuccessful system of the tourist services of tourists and visitors. The capital's break-off of the other cities of the Republic according to the main indices forms the feeling of capital hegemony. An even development of the touristic infrastructure in all the cities of the Republic is necessary to create a single regional tourist-recreation field.

Abstract. The data on sparkling wine market size and structure are presented in relation to Russian and global markets. The structural analysis of the Russian market of sparkling wine is conducted on the basis of realized consumer demand.. National market of sparkling wine is formed mainly on the basis of secondary wine-making, based on imported wine-making materials. Imported bottled wines come mainly from Italy. Detailed characteristics of the structure of realized consumer demand for sparkling wine are presented; these include the weighted average price, consumer preferences of color, taste, and geographical appellation of origin. Each of these parameters is characterized both by physical volume and monetary terms. It is concluded that the traditional preferences of Russian consumers is rather conservative in terms of choosing varieties of sparkling wine.

Abstract. Drawing upon existing conceptions of how violence in mass media influences spectators and previous efforts to provide relevant research, the new framework examines the perception of violence in films. An integrative mediational framework is developed to explicate some personality variables as mediators between self-conception (plural self) and psychosemantic evaluations of films with violent scenes. 3 levels of integration are suggested. They are specified as low, middle, and high. Raw data were gathered from a sample of 199 participants recruited from Perm universities (100 men and 99 women), with an age range from 18 to 24. Research hypotheses were tested by means of structural equation modeling. Only the models of low and middle levels of integration fit the data. They evidence that self-actualization and sensation seeking, rather than neuroticism and hostility, yield a mediator function. The first pair of variables is mediators between some subselves of the plural self and psychosemantic evaluations of films with violent scenes. Conversely, neuroticism and hostility did not operate as appropriate mediator variables. A path from plural self to self-actualization and sensation seeking to psychosemantic evaluation of films with violent scenes reveals a significant chain.

Abstract. The research of non-linear dynamic system (non-linear DS,NDS) behavior is a widespread task in many fields of human activity. For effective management of NDS it is necessary to know its free behavior (without influence of external effects), conditions which allows NDS to reach stable state, necessary parameter values for the system to provide the required functional characteristics. A phase-plane portrait describes a behavior of DS in the most obvious way. The modern development of computer engineering allows usage of computer heuristic devices as addition to classic analytical methods to create the phase-plane portrait.

Abstract. The work analyses the natural anomalies of 536-546 AD with the help of modern climate data and written sources. The period in question was noted for its sharp and long lasting cooling that led to global ethno-political changes in the Medieval Ages. It exerted a strong influence on Central Asia and the nomads who peopled it – the Turks (Tujue). This work is the first to advance the thesis on the influence of natural and climatic anomalies of 536 – 545 as being the main prerequisite for the birth and rise of the ancient Turkic state – the Turkic Empire. The Turks took advantage of the complicated political situation in the region and set up a powerful and military efficient state. Thus the Turkic Empire became a stronghold together with other powerful states of the time, namely: China, the Sasanian Empire and Byzantium which grew weaker due to extreme climate impact (starvation and plague).

Abstract. At present, considerable efforts of vehicle manufacturers are directed towards improving efficiency and reducing emissions. For example, a system of energy recuperation during braking is often used in electric and hybrid vehicles. It improves energy efficiency, but a significant part of the energy released from the fuel by the internal combustion engine, forming a component of a hybrid power plant or used to recharge the batteries of an electric vehicle, is lost in its cooling system and discharged with the exhaust gases. This energy can be converted into electricity and used to recharge the batteries. This paper provides an analysis of the development of direct exhaust gas heat to electricity conversion systems, used in hybrid vehicles and, more generally, in any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, where energy recovery will reduce the load on the generator. Currently, considerable efforts of vehicle manufacturers seek to improve their efficiency and reduce emissions. For example, in vehicles with electric and hybrid powertrains  often applicable system of energy recuperation during braking, which improves energy efficiency, but the internal combustion engine, a component of the hybrid powertrain or used to recharge the battery electric vehicle, a significant part of the energy consumed in the fuel is lost its cooling system and is discharged with the exhaust gases.  This energy can be converted into electricity and is used for recharging the batteries. This article provides an analysis of the development of systems of direct conversion of thermal energy of exhaust gases into electricity, in vehicles with hybrid powertrain and, more generally, in any vehicle with the engine, where energy recovery will reduce the load on the generator.

Abstract. This paper is devoted to the process of the bubble mixing biomass in biogas plants and its constructive ensuring. Bubble bioreactor is designed & equipped with a gas distributor made of pipe as a vertical spiral cone-shaped base facing down, with evenly placed openings for biogas output. The proposed design of the gas distributor ensures a spatial uniformity of distributing the bubbling gas, reduces stringency of moving chains of pop gas bubbles, what leads to intensification of interfacial bubbles interaction with the fermentation liquid mass, thereby the intensity of stirring is increasing. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the mixing system on the basis of the bubble gas distributing device are studied. There are the equations for determining the basic structural and technological parameters of the bubble mixing system: radial and axial steps between turns of bubbler, bubble pipe length, the relative volume content of the bubble phase, bubbles ascent rate, duration and energy expenses for one cycle of the bubble mixing. The expressions obtained were used for developing and designing industrial biogas plant.

Abstract. Reason for interest in jet streams is their great importance for various branches of engineering. Liquid and gas jet streams occur in rockets, airplanes, heat engines, turbines, boilers, combustion chambers, furnaces, ovens, hydraulic facilities, chemical and technological devices, ventilation devices and fluidics. In particular, during the hydrosystem operation, environmental problems arise associated with the erosion pool formation in the tailrace at considerable velocities of the flow. Riverbed erosion in the tailrace leads to emergency situations by the loss of hydraulic structures stability. Development of the hydrosystem stability assessment is complicated by the lack of an integrated approach to the analysis of riverbed processes, agreed with the plane hydraulic jet theory. To solve the problem of the plane laminar hydraulic jet propagation, the vortex boundary model, based on the scheme of rolling vortices, is applied in this paper. It is found that the geometric locus of equilibrium centres of vortices rolling without sliding along the jet boundary is a catenary line. To assess the adequacy of the proposed vortex model, it is compared with known solutions of the problem of the infinitely thin jet-source motion based on the boundary layer theory. The proof of the hypothesis about the identity of dependencies for the kinematic characteristics of the plane laminar hydraulic jet, which are derived from the vortex theory and the boundary layer theory, is associated with the phased development of new hydromechanics propositions and the analysis of existing ones. First of all, an equation of the plane laminar hydraulic jet boundary, based on the scheme of rolling vortices, is formulated. Then we investigate the statement of the problem of the infinitely thin jet-source motion in terms of the boundary layer theory. The self-similarity (affine similarity) of the longitudinal jet velocity profiles, based on the law of conservation of momentum carried through the jet cross-section, is proved. There is provided information on the application of the similarity and dimension theory to the formulation of partial differential boundary layer equations and a ordinary differential third-order equation for the boundary layer flow function in a dimensionless form. As a result of substitution, a dimensionless ordinary differential equation is formulated, based on the vortex jet boundary model. Conversion of the partial differential third-order equation into the ordinary differential equation for the flow function is generalized by calculating invariants. The partial differential boundary layer equation and the ordinary differential equation in regard to the flow function under the given vortex jet boundary nature are integrated in MathCad. Conditions of conversion of solutions of the dimensionless plane hydraulic jet equations, obtained by different authors, into a dimensional form are estimated.

Abstract. Based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis, this study aims at analyzing the absence of public sector management (so needed for the practice of public administration), as one of the essential subjects of the educational offer in the Czech and Slovak Republic. The qualitative analysis examines an assumption that the offer of programs in the management of public sector area is affected by the procedure of national accreditation. The quantitative part analyses the impact of selected indicators as an unemployment trend or nominal wages per number of students. The analysis was performed in Slovak setting. It is highly probable that the national system of accreditations, especially the Slovak one, considerably affects the study offer of the field in question. The conclusion hints at the fact that potential influencing factors – as unemployment growth or wage stability – do not act as motivation to study public area management.

Abstract. Our paper investigates issues where sports management and public finance intersect. Both in the Czech Republic and Slovakia sports are significantly dependent on grants from different levels of public administration. But to access and use this money is not straightforward. In the first part of our paper we analyse the system of allocation of the public finance grants to sport organizations in both countries. The second part deals with two selected problems of resource allocation – transparency of allocation of public resources to sports and financial management problems connected with rigid rules regulating the use of public resources allocated to sport organizations (on the Slovak example). The results are interesting – the allocation of resources from central level is transparent, predictable, program and performance based, however this is not valid for local government grants. The obligation to use public grants to sport organizations in the same way as state budgetary organizations causes real problems form financial managers of sport bodies.

Abstract. One of the most interesting questions in the theory and practice of intercultural communication, concept of (American) language personality is regarded in the article. Language personality is the term of interdisciplinary nature. Each language personality is unique, it has its own "knowledge" of the language. However, it is necessary to allocate national and invariant part in the structure of language personality. The notion of the language personality is backbone in the process of describing the American variant of a national language The author tries to achieve a new synthesis of knowledge about the American variant of the English language, refracted through the structure of the American language personality.

Abstract. Transition to market economy, management rigidity, became the main reason of many economic entities’ stagnation and stable functioning with planned-directive managerial system, which turned out to be incapable to continue its productive activity in new economic conditions, which have predetermined their further development. With this the role and the meaning of education in modern Russian society have changed, which becomes more and more integrated in the world society. In process of Russian society shift to market relations, in large inhabited localities, an understanding and importance accent of local economic mainstay with economic entities shift from business entities to the system of educational and scientific institutes, which started dominating over other branches of economy on the quantity of population, involved in it.Nowadays the role and the place of educational system, and high educational institutes as its structural element in particular, in the modern Russian society can be identified as one of important components of national economy, which final functioning result is human capital generating of each graduate.

Abstract: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), is an autoimmune connective tissue disease, with fibrosis of soft tissues Objective: to evaluate the value of the combined rehabilitation techniques [facial stretching exercises & connective tissue massage, Kabat’s method, and kinesitherapy and manipulative osteopathy] in patients with systemic sclerosis; both clinically and ultrasonographically. Methods: 20 patients were subjected to combined rehabilitation technique and home exercise program (group A) for 8 weeks, and 20 patients (group B) were assigned only for home exercise program for 8 weeks. All patients were assessed at baseline (F0), at the end of the treatment (F1) and after 8 weeks of follow-up (F2). They were evaluated with SF-36, health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), modified Rodnan skin score, mouth opening and Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis scale (MHISS). TMJ ultrasonography was done for the both groups and for 20 normal controls for comparison. Results: In both groups, SF-36 and HAQ were not affected by the treatment. At F1, both groups improved in mouth opening (p<0.05), and the improvement was maintained at for both groups. Facial skin score improved in (group A) at F1, and maintained at F2 (p<0.05 versus F0), while no change was observed in (group B). MHISS scale improved significantly in (group A) at F1 (p<0.001) only, while no change was found in (group B). Tempromandibular joint (TMJ) ultrasonography data didn’t show any difference neither from the controls nor the two groups at different assessments. Conclusion: The combination of rehabilitation techniques, is more effective than home exercise program alone in the rehabilitative treatment of SSc facial involvement.

Abstract. The main purpose of the paper is to analyze main directions of khaganat`s expansion. The problem statement is to understand the concept of the influence of space on the development of history is not enough just to study historical events. The close relationship of human being, land and space requires deep study of this issue. For the nomad and sedentary people the notion of belonging to a specific space, the definition of its territory and their boundaries were not identical. Often uncertainty of the territory, the boundaries of the territories in these matters gave rise to various conflicts and wars. Currently these relationships are defined and regulated by law. In this regard, the question arises: how the nomads of Eurasia defined territory and boundaries of individual tribes and the state as a whole 1300-1400 years ago,? In this article the author suggests to consider this issue on the sample of West Khaganat. This is one of the strongest states of Central Asian in VII-VIII centuries.The research allows all parties to consider and determine the features of the development of the surrounding space of nomadic Turks. Draw conclusions about their understanding of state, tribal territories and borders.

Abstract: The continuous development of communication  networks has allowed the emergence of IPTV as an innovative service which together with IMS, promises to change radically the TV experience for consumers. The main intention of this paper is to propose the design of an IMS-based IPTV system using open source software for its development and using an IPv6/MPLS core network to provide multimedia content transportation. For this purpose, we first study the related work in the area, and then we present the proposed design describing all the devices and software available for the implementation of the prototype. We have identified a lack of research in IPTV concerning IPv6 and we propose a prototypical implementation as a way to deepen into this subject and generate more research in the area.

Abstract: Introduction: Patients with elevated values of serum total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) without clinical evidence of prostate carcinoma (PCa) on digital rectal examination (DRE) has to have prostate biopsy (PB) for the diagnosis of PCa. When PB results are negative there are controversies exist over further assessment either by antibiotic therapy. Repeat saturation biopsy (SPBx) with 30 cores, detection rate of PCa in repeat SPBx is 11-28%.The study aimed at detection of PCa in patients with negative initial prostate biopsy with an elevated or rising PSA. Method: A retrospective observational and prospective study was done to evaluate the diagnostic values of repeat saturation prostate biopsy in the detection of PCa with an initial negative PB. Inclusion criteria were patients who had evaluated had persistently increased trend of serum PSA of 4-20 ng/mL. Their initial prostate biopsy of 10 cores taken through trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) was negative for PCa, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), or atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP). Eighty seven patients 87/115(75.6%) had benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 28 patients 28/115(24.3%) had inflammation of the prostate in histopathological assessment, whom they received antibiotic for 7 days. As PSA was elevated or rising, 64 patients approved to have had repeat PB with saturation prostate biopsy with 30 cores. Results: 115 patients with elevated PSA, had initial PB that that negative for PCa, PIN, or ASAP. 87 patients (75.6%) had (BPH). 28 patients (34.4%) had different degrees of inflammation for which they received antimicrobial therapy with quinolone for one week. These 115 patients had elevated PSA in 68 and rising in 47 after the initial PB. All were offered to have repeat biopsy. 64 patients agreed to have SPBx . Eleven patients 11/64 (17.2%) had PCa in the repeat prostate biopsy. Conclusion: Elevated and or rising PSA values in presence of initial negative prostate biopsy indicate repeat saturation prostate biopsy with 30 cores. Proven aggressiveness of inflammation evident with pathological findings would explain the elevated PSA without PCa. Repeat SPBx was positive for PCa in 17.2% patients.

Abstract: Soil contamination by naturally occurring and anthropogenic organic and inorganic chemicals is a serious human health and environmental problem in many industrialized and non-industrialzed nations.  This process has dramatically increased in their extent and intensity over the last decades. Progressively, actions have been taken in order to evaluate and reduce the major threats that have already done devastation on soil conditions. The objective of the present study is to examine critically the suitability of Mid infrared reflectance spectroscopy (MIRS) as a tool for soil contamination assessment. A quicker method is developed based on a multivariate calibration procedure using partial least squares (PLS) regression to establish a relationship between reflectance spectra in the mid infrared (MIR) region and spectral of soil characteristics, that are inter-correlated with concentration levels of Cd and Pb. Several spectral pre-processing methods (normalization, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), derivation, standard normal variant (SNV) transforms) were employed to improve the robustness and performance of the calibration models. The principal component analysis (PCA) was performed prior to MIR-PLS regression analysis that identified spectral outliers in the absorbance spectra of soil samples. Pearson correlation identified two elements (Cd, Pb). The obtained calibration models showed high regression (r) for Pb, and relatively high (r) for Cd  (r > 0.95), while for Cd (r>0.98). Based on this result support the conclusion that mid-infrared spectroscopy could aid conventional method analyses of soils heavily contaminated with certain heavy metals after a robust model is developed.

Abstract: Introduction: Vitamin A is important for epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation. Synthetic vitamin A derivatives, known as isotretinoin, have been extensively used in the last few years to treat a variety of clinical skin conditions. Aim of the Work: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histological changes in guinea pig thin skin that might result from long term exposure to isotretinoin and the possibility of recovery after its withdrawal. Material and Methods: 25 female guinea pig (Cavia sp.) were used in this study, 15 of them were adult animals (about 6 months old) and the other 10 were old animals (2- 4 years old). They were divided into five equal groups;1- control group, 2- adult isotretinoin-treated group, 3- the third group was topically treated with isotretinoin for four weeks, then the animals were left without treatment for another four weeks.4- Old control group, 5- Old isotretinoin-treated group. Skin specimens from the back were processed and examined histologically and histochemically. The epidermal thickness was measured and the results were statistically analysed. Results: Specimens from isotretinoin-treated animals showed antiproliferative effect on the cells having highly proliferative potentiality. The sebaceous glands showed significant decrease in their size. There was also a statistically highly significant decrease in the epidermal thickness. The dermis showed decreased collagen content. It was found that all the effects of isotretinoin are time dependent and all the histological and histochemical manifestations of isotretinoin are reversible. Conclusion: Isotretinoin has a time dependent and reversible potent antiproliferative and enzymatic activating effects. Long-term exposure to systemic isotretinoin may induce structural changes in the guinea pig skin, being partially reversible after withdrawal of the drug. Therefore, the use of tretinoin should be restricted to the advice of dermatologists.

Abstract: Saudi Arabia has about 23 million palm trees and it is the second largest producer of dates. The biomass from the trimmed branches of palm trees amount to more than 200,000 tons/year. This biomass waste can be used to produce many commercial products. There are several relevant technologies for conversion of biomass and solid wastes into higher value products. The starting point of the project is the pretreatment of palm solid wastes. Thermogravimetric analysis has been done to understand the pyrolysis behavior of palm date wastes. A fluidized bed (FB) has been designed and to study hydrodynamics and develop optimum conditions for the pyrolysis of palm wastes. A novel fluidized bed test rig has been designed and fabricated to carry out the pyrolysis of palm wastes. The pyrolysis is used to produce activated carbon and the waste can also be readily converted to liquid phenolic products. Liquid products are particularly interesting because they have a higher energy density and can be used to produce adhesives as well as biofuels for use in power generation and transport sector. Experimental results have indicated potential opportunities of using the date biomass waste as a potential fuel in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract: Introduction: Primary frozen shoulder or idiopathic adhesive capsulitis is a painful, stiff shoulder of unknown etiology. Despite this knowledge of the pathology, there is no consensus on the most favorable method of managing the disease. Suggestions for management range from supervised neglect to corticosteroids, physiotherapy, manipulation, hydrodilatation and arthroscopic capsular release. Aim of the work: The aim of our study was to assess the effectiveness of arthroscopic capsular release in treating patients with primary frozen shoulder. Patients and Methods: twelve patients with fourteen primary frozen shoulder were treated with arthroscopic capsular release of the glenohumeral joint. Of the 12 patients, there were 4 men and 8 women; the right side was affected in 7 patients, the left side was affected in 3 patients, and two patient had bilateral affection. The mean age of the patients was 48.5 years (range 39–62 years). They were assessed preoperatively, post operatively regarding to pain, range of motion and activity level. Results: The mean duration of follow-up was 10 months. Pain was relieved in all patients. With respect to range of motion, the mean of external rotation at 0° improved by 72°, the mean forward flexion improved by 97°, the mean of abduction improved by 125°, and the mean of internal rotation at 0° increased by 7.5° points according to the constant shoulder score. The mean improvement was 57 points There were excellent score in 9 shoulders and good score in 5 shoulders. Conclusion: This study with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria has demonstrated that arthroscopic capsular release is a reliable treatment option for patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder. It was found to reliable not only in restoring motion but also in eliminating pain.

Abstract: This article was set to estimate the economic efficiency and input demand functions for wheat production, utilizing a random sample of 150 observations (farms) in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia. Results showed that the unit cost of crop area, irrigation water, and labor used in wheat production was estimated to be 1670 SR/Hectare, SR 290/1000 M2, and SR 5260/worker, respectively. Whereas the marginal return for these inputs was estimated to be SR 2030/hectare, SR 358/1000 M3, and SR 6415/worker, for crop area, irrigation water, and labor, respectively. Economic Efficiency (defined as the value of marginal product, VMP, relative to the opportunity cost, OC) for crop area, irrigation water, and labor was estimated to be 1.22 for each input. This means that VMP for these inputs is more than its respected OC; and thus, farmers can increase their wheat profits by increasing these inputs until VMP equals OC for each input. Results also showed that the optimum input use of crop area, irrigation water, and labor in wheat production, was greater than the actual inputs used by 27.2%, 43.6%, and 35.4%, respectively. Price elasticity of demand for crop area, irrigation water, and labor was estimated to be -0.75, - 0.70, and -0.65, respectively. This means that a 10% increase in input cost will decrease these inputs use by 7.5%, 7%, and 6.5%, respectively. The study stresses the need to use the optimal amount of inputs in wheat production, and include the “economic value” of irrigation water in order to conserve it, given the scarcity of water in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract: The radiological hazards associated with naturally occurring radioactive nuclides in sandstone, granite and shale samples from the south of the eastern desert in Egypt had been studied using gamma spectroscopy. The average activity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were (7.1±2.8, 27.22±3.6 and 495.4± 18.8 Bq/kg) in sandstone. For granite samples, the average concentrations were (26.2±3.7, 42.2±6.1 and 812.4 ±26.9 Bq/kg) respectively. The corresponding average values in shale were (22.1±4.3, 38.3± 5.3 and 4357 ±19.9 Bq/kg) for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K. Granite samples exhibit an enhanced activity concentrations compared to other materials, while sandstone samples had the smallest value. The 40K recorded the highest activity concentration in all measured samples. The average radium equivalent activity (Raeq: 84.1±10.3, 149.1±15.6 and 110.4±11.2 Bq/kg) for sandstone, granite and shale were found to be less than the acceptable limits for public exposure control recommended by the European Commission. The calculated average dose rates for the three types were: 42.4±3.9, 74.2±6.3, 53.6±5.1 respectively. These values are lower than the estimated average global terrestrial radiation of 55 nGyh-1 except granite samples where the obtained value was 74.2±6.3 nGyh-1.

Abstract: Microcystins (MCs) are a group of cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by freshwater cyanobacteria threatened to human health, which have more than 90 identified analogues. Microcystin-LR(MC-LR), with a leucine and an arginine in its molecular structure, is the most toxic and extensively studied. Some recent studies have suggested that the gonad is the second most important target organ of MCs. However, the potential mechanism of reproductive toxicity has not been reported yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on cell viability and apoptosis-related apoptosis in primary cultured Sertoli cells of rats after treated with different concentrations of MC-LR. The results of cell viability using MTT method and NR method indicated that the cell viability of Sertoli cell increased in low concentration groups (0.02~1μg/ml) and decreased in high concentration groups (10, 20μg/ml) after exposed to MC-LR for 48h. After cells were exposed to 1μg/ml MC-LR for 48h, the level of P53 protein increased but had no significant difference (P>0.05), the level of Bax protein significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the level of Bcl-2 protein significantly increased (P<0.05). When cells were exposed to 10μg/ml MC-LR, the level of P53 and Bax protein in sertoli cells significantly increased (P<0.05), and the level of Bcl-2 protein significantly decreased (P<0.05). After Sertoli cells were exposed to MC-LR for 48h, Caspase-3 activity significantly increased when cells were exposed 10μg/ml MC-LR (P<0.05).These results indicated low concentrations (0.02~1μg/ml) MC-LR had stimulation effect and enhanced cell viability, high concentrations (10, 20μg/ml) MC-LR had suppression effect on cell viability. MC-LR can induce apoptosis in primary cultured Sertoli cells. Apoptosis related-proteins P53, Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 played a regulatory role in MC-LR-induced apoptosis of testicular Sertoli cells.

Abstract: The human fibula is not a structural bone. It is positioned on the outer edge of the lower leg, formed part of the ankle joint and provided for stability of the lower extremity in movement. Inverse engineering technique is used to obtain a 3D complex geometry of the real human fibula by white light scanning a synthesis human fibula. Modal tests are performed to get the natural frequencies of the synthesis human fibula. The experimental data are then verified with that obtained from finite element method (FEM). After confirming the correctness of the finite element 3D synthesis human fibula model, the real human bone properties are brought into models for numerical modal analysis. Several fundamental normal modes are found. A higher frequency torsion and dilation coupled mode is also obtained to prove that the combination of bending, torsion, dilation, etc. modes can be coupled to form a normal modes.

Abstract: Objection: The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical results of operative treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with or without computer-assisted pedicle screw(s) at the fracture level. The surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with short pedicle screw instrumentation has good results in clinical situations but failure to maintain the sagittal plane correction has been reported by several authors. Several methods have been mentioned to reduce the high fixation failure rate in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with short pedicle screw instrumentation. Computer-assisted pedicle screw insertion in the fracture side is one of the methods and the success rates may be improved by inserting an additional screw at the facture level. Methods: Thirty-six patients (23 males and 13 females; mean age, 37.2 years; age range, 26-65 years) were treated with short posterior pedicle instrumentation with computer-assisted screw insertion at the fracture level in 17 cases (Group I) and without screw insertion in 19 cases (Group II). Segmental kyphosis and vertebral height were assessed by lateral view X-ray. Patients were thoroughly reexamined and the neurologic status, functional outcome and complications of both groups were assessed. Results: The average kyphotic angle before and after surgery and at latest follow-up were 16º, 2º, and 4º, respectively, in Group I and 17º, 3º, and 11º, respectively, in Group II. Mean anterior vertebral body height before and after surgery and at latest follow-up were 56%, 78%, and 75% of normal, respectively, in Group I and 54%, 75% and 63%, respectively, in Group II. Loss of kyphotic correction or vertebral height was more severe (p<0.05) and there was substantially more pain in Group II. No patients had an increase in neurologic deficit. Patients with neurologic deficit experienced improvement irrespective of treatment choice. Complications were relatively rare. Conclusions: There are high fixation failure rates associated with thoracolumbar burst fractures treated with short pedicle instrumentation. Computer-assisted pedicle screw insertion at the fracture level effectively reduces the fixation failure of thoracolumbar burst fractures treated with short pedicle instrumentation.

Abstract: The morbidity of osteoporosis is increasing fast recently due to people change their daily habits from dynamic events to sedentary activities based on the progress of technology. Osteoporosis makes bones become fragile loose, which cause back pain, loss of height, kyphosis, or even very prone to fracture, fractures and other symptoms. Osteoporosis is already one of the world's largest epidemic, second only to vascular disease. And it mostly depends on chemically treatments nowadays. However, the properties of chemical drugs will lead to many problems of the cells in human body. For examples, the body will produce drug exclusion, drug resistance, and many other side effects, which cannot be ignored. Therefore many scholars explore the physical stimulation to combat osteoporosis. Non-invasive physical stimulating of the biological cells or tissues through vibration is currently potential areas of research. There are many physical therapy scholars to conduct the research of high frequency vibration. This study employs low-frequency vibration wave generated by the piezoelectric sheet to stimulate the fetal calvarias cells by different sets of durations and repeated of times. The experimental results show that different duration and number of repeat stimulation period will indeed affect the proliferation of bone cells.

Abstract: This study proposes a rehabilitation robot for upper limb exoskeleton providing power assistance to the upper limb activities. It provides people on rehabilitation a multi-functional and customized tool. The important features of this product are to correctly and quickly identify the user's intention through sensors' signals and to complete the appropriate needed power through the drive system of the mechatronic system. In particular, according to the user's recovery situations, the robot can provide three kinds of rehabilitation control strategies, namely, active control, semi-active control and passive control. By integrating the input requirements of sensors and loading conditions of user under various usage conditions, the threshold values of the critical parameters will construct and will serve as the reference for adjusting parameters of controller of the robot so that the stability of control system and the comfort of user are advanced. This study focuses on the bi-axial control arm exoskeleton and designed a flexible pressure sensor as the main bi-axial pressure sensors to sense the motion directions of the human arm. The analog signals of the flexible pressure sensor are converted into digital signal through MCP3208 and used BC2 microcomputer system to analyze and derive the torque distribution of the two joints. It allocates the power to the different joints according to the torque distribution to establish a complete arm exoskeleton control system and successfully drive the arm exoskeleton operation. It also can produce a prototype to verify the intention of a person through the sensor signals. By coordinating the drive torque of the human upper limb force and exoskeleton robot motor, we can keep the small interference force to assist the user to have a smoother rehabilitation motion.

Abstract: This paper used the medical image of a patient's knee joint as basis to assemble a complete human knee through geometric software. Because this model can’t precisely align the position, local contact will occur which would cause stress concentration. It should undergo the tension adjustment of the ligaments to adjust the relative positions of the cartilage of the femoral condyle, the meniscus and the femoral cartilage to the minimal relative position of the contact stress to comply with the lowest energy or stress allowed by the law of nature for our body needs. First, this study used the spring simulation in the ligament tension and used the software, RecurDyn, to find the relative position of the minimum contact stress of the knee system. Second, the customized man-made knee was imported in the biomechanical software called LifeMod to build muscles and the ligaments system to simulate the ligament tensions of the artificial knee under a variety of sports. Aside from being the basis for the spring coefficient setting of the human knee, the tension can also select the specific posture of the knee in the model and then convert it into a file of ANSYS stress analysis software to complete a more accurate stress analysis. Finally, we can retest the human and artificial knee joints under different postures in the above steps to know the changes in the patterns between contact stress and contact area to obtain customized artificial knee prosthesis closest to the patient’s original human knee joints. The concept is the same if the original denture tooth shape is kept, we can be able to organize the most stable and compatible peripherals, prolong the life of the prosthesis and reduce its possibility of loosening.

Abstract: Microalgae are rich sources of biologically active compounds. In the present study, three cyanobacteria (Nostoc sp., Microcystis sp. and Oscillatoria geminata) and 2 green microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus sp.) were tested with the agar well diffusion method for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Four Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Sarcina lutea, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium), one Gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia), and five fungal strains (Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Asperigillus niger, and Candida albicans) were examined. The antimicrobial activity was tested using methanol and acetone extracts of cyanobacteria and algal species. The methanol extract was more effective against the studied bacterial strains, inhibited B. subtilis, K. Pneumonia and S. aureus while acetone extract affected S. aureus and with less impact on B. subtilis. B. megaterium was the most resistant strain in the two types of extracts. The antifungal activity of algal acetone extracts was higher than methanol extracts. C. vulgaris methanol extract exhibited no antifungal activity to all studies strains. Among all the algal species studied Nostoc sp. indicated wide spread spectrum of antimicrobial activity, so its methanol and acetone extracts were analyzed by GC/Mass and the data obtained showed that the most abundant compounds in methanol extract of Nostoc sp. were phenols, plasticizer compound, phytol and flavenoids where, in acetone extract were plasticizer compound, phytol, alkenes and esters. These results give an indication of the presence of promising antimicrobial compounds in the algal species under study. Further phytochemical studies are needed to elucidate these compounds structures and activity.

Abstract: The smart home technology controls the electronic devices in home environment using mobile phones. There are few solutions available in market to control home appliance electronic devices. One of the solutions is to control each device using a separate remote control. There are two problems associated with this solution. Firstly, it is difficult to manage separate controller for each device and secondly, the owner of devices has to be present in the vicinity to switch on/off. Another solution is to purchase off the shelf smart systems to control home appliances but the costs of smart home systems are very high. It is not affordable for majority of customers to purchase off the shelf smart home system. The objective of this research is to provide a novel economical solution to control the home appliances using mobile technology to on/off home appliances such as lights, air-conditioner, coffee maker and security cameras. A novel component based development (CBD) model is used to develop the proposed system. Survey is used as a research methodology to validate the proposed model. It is anticipated that proposed model will be cost effective and it will solve the problem in general.

Abstract: Under the evolving environment, a utility company is required to improve the operation and maintenance of its physical assets usually in the forms of an asset management program. In the past, conventional financial techniques were used to quantify the asset’s values and make decision relating to the asset accordingly. However, most of the time, the data and information required for the analysis are incomplete and even unavailable. This is due to the fact that it is not explicitly clear which data and information are required at the beginning of the asset’s life cycle. This paper proposes an organisational learning model for the utility companies with respect to the asset management activities. CommonKADS is utilised as a tool to capture the knowledge associated with managing the assets from the learning processes of the utility company. A case study of substations operating in the distribution network in Thailand is presented. The results show that by applying the proposed methodologies, the learning processes within the utility companies can be categorised and explained by five major learning steps of breakdown, corrective, preventive, predictive, and proactive maintenances.

Abstract: Dental erosion is defined as the progressive loss of hard dental tissues by a chemical process not involving bacterial action (Shafer, et al., 1983; Watson and Tulloch, 1985). In order to prevent its advancement, early detection is important. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dental erosion among 8 to 19 – year old students from two different private schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and to determine the risk factors leading for them to acquire dental erosion. The results implicated that there is a large consumption of acidic beverages as well as fruits and candies among the adolescent samples. However, significant relationship with dental erosion has only been established with the consumption of fruits, which is higher among the girls. Being a multifactorial disease, further investigations should be established in order to determine the importance of relevant factors as to the occurrence of dental erosion.

Abstract : The ternary complexes of Fe(III) and Uo2(II) with three Schiff base ligands, -4,4-N,N-bis (furfuryllidene) O -Tolidine,- 4,4-N,N-bis (methyl-2-thienylidene)O-Tolidine, and 4,4-N,N-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzylidene) O-Tolidine, (L1,L2 and L3) respectively with 2-aminopyridine (2-Ampy) and oxalic acid (OX) have been studied in solid state.The mixed ligand complexes have been isolated and characterized based on elemental microanalysis, molar conductance, thermal analysis and mass spectroscopy as well as spectral (UV-Vis, IR, 1HNMR, mass and magnetic moment measurements. The molar conductance measurements reveal that the complexes are non-electrolytic 1:1, and 1:2 electrolytic nature of the metal complexes. Bonding of the ligands with the metal ions is deduced from IR spectra. The ligands are coordinated to the metal ions in ternary (terdendate) manar with ONO donor sites of the carbonyl oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen. Thermal studies indicate weight loss associated with water molecules. All synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against gram positive, gram negative bacteria and fungi. The biological evaluation study showed low to high bacterial activity compared with the ligands and their iron and uranyl metal complexes.

Abstract: Introduction: Twenty-two supermarkets in the Central Highlands of Mexico were sampled in order to classify them and to compare their pork meat quality based on its physicochemical characteristics. The supermarkets were classified in three types in accordance with socioeconomic status of buyers as low, medium, and high. Methods: Samples were obtained from the Longissimus dorsi muscle from 10th to 12th ribs. Results: Objective color was L* 46.97, a* 6.22 and b* 5.1. Subjective color indicated that it was red with a value of 3.06, subjective marbling was 2.8 %, and objective value was 2.9 %. Moisture varied from 690 to 739.3 g/kg, protein varied from 205.5 g/kg to 229. 6 g/kg and shear force (SF) was 2.87 kg/cm2. There were no significant differences (P≥0.05) between the variables besides subjective marbling. Tukey´s test indicated that the lowest average included low and medium socioeconomic status supermarkets, which means that the fat content found in the chop eye is less than in meat in high socioeconomic level supermarkets. Conclusions and recommendations: According to the results, pork sold in the supermarkets in the Central Highlands of Mexico was a tender meat with reddish pink color, firm texture and little exudation and with an appropriate protein and intramuscular fat contents.

Abstract: This study was performed to examine the possibility for alleviating the deleterious effect of  nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) that formed during processing of beef sausage by supplementation of a mixture of herbs and beetroot juice; for this purpose a total 36 adult male rats (120±5g) were randomly divided into 6 groups (G1) negative control group that fed on basal diet, (G2) positive control that treated daily with nitrosodiethylamines in drinking water at concentrate 40ppmNA /100g b.w  for 5 weeks, (G3) rats treated with the previously described treatment protocol of G2 plus mixture of herbs and beetroot juice as protection, (G4) rats fed on standard sausage formula, (G5) rats fed on experimentally modified sausage and (G6) rats fed on  commercial sausage (unknown composition). The duration of the experimental period was 19 weeks except the G3 that was 21 weeks. Estimation of NDEA in different beef sausage formulas, serum, and urinary excretion in addition to histopathological evaluations were performed. Results indicated that NDEA level was higher in commercial sausage formula compared with other sausage formulas as NDEA content in food, serum and urine were (0.61 µg/100gm,18.10 µg /dl and 40.30 µg /dl, respectively) , significantly decreased in experimentally modified sausage formula to be 0.111µg/100gm, 0.64µg/dl and 7.848µg/dl), respectively. Various histopathological alterations were detected in all treated groups that were more sever in positive control group, the lesions include appearance of altered hepatocellular foci (AHF) and bile duct and oval cell hyperplasia, these lesions were ameliorated in G 3, while the worst histopathological lesions were recorded in rats group fed on commercial sausage compared with fed on other sausage formulas. Conclusion: The supplementation of herbal mixtures and beetroot juice in beef sausage formula able to reduce the deleterious effect of NDEA that formed during processing meat products.

Abstract: Egypt suffers from the lack of proper wastewater collection and treatment facilities especially in rural areas. Several factors have been responsible for the relatively slow progress rate in implementation of waste water collection and treatment units. The most important one is the escalating cost of providing the needed services. The continuous discussions and comparisons along the last twenty years between the centralization against the de-centralization wastewater systems did not lead to fixed conclusion due to the wide range of parameters those changes from one location to another. Not only the huge initial construction cost of the centralized waste water treatment plants and the area required are the only governing factors, but the operation and maintenance, power requirements and roots for sewage force mains from the different villages in the cluster also has to be deeply investigated. Optimization of the application of wastewater treatment techniques in their different categories primary, secondary and tertiary is a must for the strategic planning of the country. The main objective of this research is to assess the performance of the oxidation ditch technology as a treatment process applied in Delta, Egypt. Four wastewater treatment plants with different design capacities ranging between two thousand to 12000 m³/d were selected for assessment where the oxidation ditches were found to be highly recommended for the treatment of discharges less than 12000 m3/day.

Abstract: Background: Asymmetric dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA) acts as an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Several studies indicate that ADMA is a critical mediator of the adverse effects on NOS of all cardiovascular risk factors. The present study aimed to examine any associations between ADMA concentration level and Type1 diabetes in children. Methods: A total of 84 Saudi school children from both genders (42 healthy and 42 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus) with an age ranged from 6 to 18 years were randomly selected. Serum ADMA concentration was measured using competitive ELISA, and 6 other parameters: glucose, Total Cholesterol (TC), Triacylglycerol (TAG), High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (HDL-C), Low Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations were determined by enzymatic analyses, and BMI, were measured in both groups to examine any correlations with ADMA level. Results: Serum Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) concentration in diabetic children was found to be significantly higher than that in healthy children (0.91±0.03 µmol/L, 0.55±0.04 µmol/L P<0.0001 respectively). These concentrations remained significantly high even after both diabetic and healthy children were compared to their matched gender. Glucose, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C serum concentrations in diabetic children were also found to be significantly high compared to healthy children. However, only glucose and HDL-C concentrations remained significantly high in both genders of diabetic children compared to their matched group in healthy children. Conclusion: The findings of the study suggested an association between the increase of ADMA serum concentration in Type1 diabetes in children with the possibility of developing atherosclerosis or heart disease with aging, particularly in males. Moreover, our study results also suggested a strong possibility of gender differences that may lead to ADMA distribution fluctuation. Further investigation in conjunction with this type of research is therefore required.

Abstract: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia and a movement disorder, manifested by dream enactment behaviors ranging from a simple limb movement to an aggressive kicking, punching, and yelling mirroring the dream content. It can be an idiopathic, or be the heralding event of an α-synucleinopathic neurodegenerative disorder. Diagnosis depends on polysomnographic confirmation of an active EMG correlate during REM sleep with video correlate of an abnormal REM sleep behavior, or a sleep disruptive behavior by history.The management includes measures to avoid falling of bed like bed rails, padding sharp edges, sleeping on the floor or in a sleeping bag till RBD is controlled. Medications of confirmed value include clonazepam and melatonin. In this series, three patients with Parkinson’s disease are presented. They have clinically probable RBD (pRBD) as the diagnosis was based on history of quite disruptive sleep behavior that responded dramatically to treatment with bedtime clonazepam.

Abstract: Production of new imitated process cheese similar to stretched cheese was conducted to be used as a topping material for pizza in spite of Mozzarella cheese.  Processed cheese have several advantages, compared to natural cheeses such as lower refrigerator cost, better keeping quality and longer storage stability.  Direct acidification of cow's milk using three different types of acid was applied to produce acidic curds. Milk sample was divided into four portions .The first three portions were separately acidified with 2% diluted lactic acid; citric acid or lemon juice until pH 5.3 to create T1, T2 and T3 respectively. All individual acidic curds were mixed with 2 % emulsifying salt  and cooked at 85°C, then turned to process cheese .The forth latter portion was manufactured as traditional Mozzarella and serve as control sample (C) . All samples were chemically analyzed; physically assayed and sensorial evaluated.  The obtained results showed that the new process cheese made by direct acidification with lactic acid (T1) had the highest moisture and lowest acidity than other treatments. T3 had the lowest content of calcium and the highest acidity compared with the other treatments. Control Mozzarella cheese gained the best meltability and the highest stretchability followed by (T3). Fat leakage was the highest in control samples followed by T1. For the organoleptic properties; control Mozzarella samples gained slightly highest scores followed by T3 then T2.  Data indicated that direct acidification technique succeed to produce new processed cheese which had semi- similar properties of the traditional Mozzarella cheese when used  2% diluted lemon juice.  Sensory evaluation of pizza pastry samples; which prepared and topped by all individual cheese samples; showed that (T3) which prepared by using diluted lemon juice gained the highest scores than control and other treatments

Abstract: Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is considered as a food source in many countries as it especially affluent in carbohydrates. Sugars, particularly fructose, glucose and sucrose represent over three-quarters of the dry matter. There are differences in sucrose concentrations between the different date palm cultivars, this may be returned to the expression and activities of the sucrose synthesize gene. So this study aims to estimate the level of expression and activates of this gene and measure the level of different sugars in some cultivars widespread in Saudi Arabia. Leaf samples were collected from different Saudi Arabia date palm cultivars; Rushodia, Barhi, Khadry, Nabtatali, khalas, Ruthana, Wannana, Yellow Sakkari and Red Sakkari from different areas in the Kingdom to estimate the activity and gene expression of sucrose synthase (SS), Sucrose Phosphate Phosphotase (SPP) and Sucrose Phosphate Synthase (SPS). The date showed that sucrose concentrations were significantly deferred between the different cultivars except Barhi, Khadry and Khalas. The highest activities of previous enzymes were observed in Red and yellow sakkari while Khalase and Barhi revealed the lowest activities. Also, based on a semi-quantitative RT-PCR, the highest expressions of these enzymes were observed in Red and yellow sakkari while Khalase and Khadry revealed the lowest activities. Low or high level of sucrose concentration in some cultivars can be illustrated by genetic and environmental factors that may do impact in quantitative and qualitative installation of the sugar fraction by modify the enzymes activity involved in breakdown and processes of synthesis.

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to evaluate composite resin restorations placed by students of King Abdulaziz University Faculty of dentistry clinically and radiographically. Patients who received comprehensive treatment were called for evaluation. By using modified USPHS criteria, composite restorations were evaluated clinically. Radiographic examinations were conducted if the restoration had a proximal extension with tight contact. Almost 43 % of 105 restorations were clinically deemed failed with causes as follows: non matching shade  (anterior teeth) (25.45%), weak or open contact  (23.64%), lost restoration (21.82%), compromised esthetic (anterior teeth) (12.73%), recurrent caries (7.2%), tooth loss due to caries (3.64%), restoration fracture (3.64%), and marginal staining (1.82%).  Radiographical failure represented 19% of restoration failure and reasons were : lost restoration (60%), recurrent caries (30%), and tooth loss due to caries (10%). Clinical evaluation of direct composite restoration placed by students of KAUFD demonstrated high percent of clinical failure (42.9%) compared to different published studies. Nonmatching shade, light or open contact, and loss of restoration retention were the most common causes of failure.

Abstract: Purpose. Nowadays all the countries of the world are interested in development of an agro-industrial complex and agriculture as a fundamental industry thereof. The above development is impossible without investments since it’s a capital-intensive industry. It is possible to provide investment inflow through influence on investment appeal factors of agricultural enterprises. These factors shall be reasonably divided into internal and external factors (of direct and indirect influence). The internal factors include financial situation and competitiveness of the enterprise. The external factors of direct influence include factors determined by the industry specificity, namely: natural and climate conditions of operation, state support of the industry, economical potential of the agro-industrial complex sector, an agro-industrial integration level. The external factors of indirect influence include factors specific to macroeconomic conditions of operation. In order to elaborate politics aimed to strengthen investment appeal of agricultural enterprises it is required to analyse factors influencing on the investment appeal in different countries.

Abstract:An experiment was performed to examine the effect of replacing partial or total of fish oil with flaxseed oil or beef tallow in male Nile tilapia were evaluated using nine isonitrogenous (31.4%), isolipidic (12.19) and isocaloric (18.85 MJ/ Vg) diets in 90 days trial. Dietary treatments consisted of : 1) Fo,containg  100% fish oil, 2) 100% flaxseed oil (Fxo), 3) 100% beeftallow (BT), 4) mixture 4) Mix. (50% Fo + 50 Fxo), 5) mix.2 (50% fish oil + 50% beef tallow) 6) Mix.3 (50% Fxo + 50% BT), 7) Mix.4 (25% Fo+ 31.5% Fxo + 37.5% BT), 8) Mix.5 (25% Fo + 75% Fxo ). 9) Mix.6 (25% Fo + 75% BT). Growth performance weight was increase, specific growth rate, growth rates per metabolic weight unit appeared signficiantly (P <0.05) between treatments. Final body weight, weight gain to fish fed Mix. 4 was increase significantly (P<0.05) compared to other treatments. However fish fed the 100% BT and 50% BT and 25% BT had lower weight gain and feed efficiency. On contrast with fish fed Mix.4 and Mix. 1 a resulted improve in feed conversion ratio and feed conversion efficiency. Fillet proximate composition was similar for all fish treatments. However energy retention, resulted in increased significant (P< 0.05) with fish fed Mix.4. Replacing fish oil with different level from beef tallow (BT. Mix.2, Mix 4) resulted  increasing in hepatosomatic index and total lipid in liver. Hematology parameters was similar respectively for all treatments. 25% fish oil + 37.5% flaxseed oil + 37.5% beef tallow in the diet male Nile tilapia was maintaining on increased growth performance and feed efficiency.

Abstract: Introduction: In spite of recent advances in the used preoperative diagnostic tools, there is no single accurate diagnostic one and none of them had hundred per cent accuracy. So, misdiagnosis still occurs. Many trials were done to evaluate the accuracy of these tools individually or in combination.  Patients and Methods: This study was conducted over the last three years in Al-Azhar university hospitals (Neurosurgery, radiology and histopathology departments) on 51 patients out of total 100 patients suffering from focal brain lesions as diagnosed by CT and/or  MRI brain. All of them were requested for MRS before planning for biopsy and histopathology. Fifty patients of them were operated for biopsy and histopathology either by minimal invasive (stereotaxy) or invasive open craniotomy Mean age was 54 years; female/male ratio was 2/3.  The most frequent symptom was headache. The decision to operate was made if still no accurate final diagnosis and /or progressive deficits . Results: MRS was supporting to biopsy in 45 cases, while biopsy was mandatory after MRS  in 5 cases and MRS  was beneficial in avoiding unnecessary biopsy in 2 cases. Conclusion: Both MRS and histopathology are complementary in diagnosing focal brain lesions.  MRS must be ordered before biopsy and must be included in any tumor grading.

Abstract: Background: The extent of perioperative cross-talk between coagulation and inflammatory markers depends on the type of surgery and anesthesia. Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval and patients' written informed consents, 68 patients aged 2565 years of either sex, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status III were randomly assigned to one of four equal groups: Open or Laparoscopic cholecystectomy groups anesthetized with either Isoflurane (IO or IL groups) or Sevoflurane (SO or SL groups) in order to assess coagulation, anticoagulation, fibrinolytic and inflammatory markers preoperatively, immediately postoperative, 24 and 72 hours after surgery. Results: In all groups, prothrombin concentration significantly reduced while prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and international normalized ratio significantly increased (P < 0.05) postoperatively.  Coagulation markers including; soluble platelet selectin, von Willebrand factor, thrombin antithrombin complex, D-dimer, as well as inflammatory markers including; high sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin- 1 beta and interleukin-6 showed significant (P < 0.05) postoperative elevation.  Plasminogen and anticoagulation markers including; antithrombin, protein C and S significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in all groups.  Coagulation and inflammatory markers were significantly higher while plasminogen and anticoagulation markers were significantly lower in open than laparoscopic groups and after isoflurane than sevoflurane anesthesia (P< 0.05). Correlations between coagulation and inflammatory markers were observed postoperatively. Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia was associated with less hypercoagulability than open surgery under isoflurane anesthesia probably mediated through inflammatory response.

Abstract: Context: The toxicity of heavy metals considered a serious event in human and animals practice. Objective: The sub-chronic toxicity of heavy metals mixture was investigated in Japanese quail, and whether the administration of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) able to reverse or enhance the toxicity. Materials and methods: For this purpose 50 seven days old Japanese quail were randomly and equally divided into five groups (n=10). Group I; was kept on normal diet, birds in other four experimental groups were provided with drinking water containing a mixture of lead acetate, cadmium chloride and mercuric chloride at dose of 100 ppm for each metal for 30 days. Experimental diets for metals-treated groups were prepared to contain 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 g/kg ALA in basal diet (groups III, IV, and V respectively). Results: revealed that the administration of toxic metals mixture in drinking water for 30 days induced a significant decrease in the final body weight, increased tissues lipid peroxidation, and induced hepatic, renal and cardiac damage. Also, caused perturbation of lipid profile with increased concentration of heavy metals and copper in liver, kidneys, brain, and muscle tissues. Furthermore, the results showed that alpha-lipoic acid fails to reduce tissue concentration of heavy metals, lipid peroxidation and exert a pro-oxidant activity especially at low concentration. Only at high doses alpha-lipoic acid improved biliary and cardiac functions. Discussion and Conclusion: We concluded that alpha-lipoic acid has no metal-chelating activity and cannot protect Japanese quails from heavy metals toxicity.

Abstract: Background: JCV is a DNA polyomavirus identified in human cancers. In Egypt, very limited data about presence of JC polyomavirus in immunocompromised cancer patients. Here, we investigated JCV infection and viral DNA load in Egyptian patients with different tumors and its possible correlation with outcome of the disease.   Patients and Methods: Fifty blood samples were collected from cancer patients with different solid tumors, and 20 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy individuals as a control group. All samples were subjected to detection of JC polyomavirus by seminested PCR (snPCR) assay using primers targeting large T antigen and real time PCR to measure viral load. Results: The sensitivity level of snPCR assay was 100 copies/ul for JC polyomavirus, while the sensitivity level of quantitative PCR assay was found to be 10 copies/ul. Our snPCR assay was highly specific. JC polyomovirus DNA could be detected in 6 of 51 (11.8%) patients with solid tumors, but none of control was positive for JC polyomavirus DNA. Median viral load was found to be 200 copies/ul of serum. Conclusion: Elevation of JC polyomaviruses copies in patients with different human cancers suggesting its correlation with pathogenesis of disease, but further analysis is required on a larger scale to confirm such findings.

Abstract: Cinnamomum micranthum (Hayata) Hayata is a rare but economically important tree species native to Taiwan and mainland China with poor natural regenerative capacity and recalcitrance to propagation via seed. Clonal propagation methodology was revised aiming to optimize the level of plant growth regulator used and the cutting type. Out of the range 100 – 2000 ppm of IBA tested, the level of 500 ppm was optimal with a rate of 70.6% of cuttings rooted. The cutting type (tip mid or basal section of branch) also significantly affected the rate of rooting with the tip cutting providing the highest rooting rate (73.2%) with significantly and progressively lower rooting obtained on more basal sections. In order to maximize rare scion resources of C. micranthum, it is recommended that in addition to tip cuttings, the midpiece of branch should be taken as the cutting scion as it was possible to obtain satisfactory rates (50.1%) of rooting on this cutting type as well.

Abstract: Background: Systemic Lupus Erythromatosis (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disorder with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. Glomerulonephritis is one of the commonest and most serious manifestations of SLE. Several autoantibodies, especially those against double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), are believed to play a major role in the induction of glomerular inflammation. C1q is a multifunctional protein that binds to immune complexes deposited on tissues, including the kidney and aids in their solubilization and removal. C1q also plays a role in apoptotic cell debris removal. The binding of anti-C1q antibodies and other proteins to C1q is potentially of concern as it may impede the ability of C1q to carry out its normal anti-inflammatory functions such as immune complex clearance and removal of apoptotic debris. The aim of the present study: to evaluate the presence of anti-C1q antibodies in patients with SLE, with and without renal involvement, and to correlate their  presence and levels with disease activity and occurrence of nephropathy. Method:  Forty SLE patients were recruited in the study, they were divided in two groups according to their clinical status and laboratory investigations, group 1 was comprised 15 SLE patients without evidence of nephritis while Group 2  comprised  25 SLE patients who were diagnosed to have lupus nephritis. Sera were tested for anti C1q by ELISA technique.  Result: A statistical significant difference between group 1 and 2 as regard anti- C1q ( p = 0.002) was noticed. In those with lupus nephritis, anti-C1q was found to correlate significantly with other parameters assessing lupus activity such as ESR (p =0.017), creatinine clearance, (p =0.029), proteinuria (p =0.003), and Anti-dsDNA (p =0.014). Conclusion: Anti-Clq autoantibodies correlate with renal disease activity and with renal flare-ups like other standard parameters, such as proteinuria, complement levels anti-dsDNA . Anti-C1q antibodies can be considered as a reliable sensitive and specific biomarker to diagnose nephritis flare in patients with SLE.

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study is to review Helicobacter pylori in children describing its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations and management. Data summary Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common chronic bacterial infection worldwide. Helicobacter pylori infection is the main etiological factor for chronic gastritis, most peptic ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma. Recently a potential role of Helicobacter pylori in other gastrointestinal as well as several extra-intestinal pathologies is being evaluated. Standard triple therapy should be abandoned in areas of high clarithromycin resistance. Conclusion: Several diseases have been reported to be associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Its role in some hematologic conditions has been fully validated and included in the current guidelines. Further studies are still needed to evaluate the role of Helicobacter pylori in other diseases. Choice of the diagnostic test for each patient depends on several factors. Clarithromycin is critically important as it negatively impacts the efficacy of the chosen therapeutic regimen.

mhwalily@yahoo.com

 

Abstract: Lateral ventricular tumors are usually slowly growing and become symptomatic after attaining a large size. The common tumors are ependymoma, choroid plexus papilloma and carcinoma, giant all astrocytoma and meningioma. The common symptoms and signs of presentation are due to rise of intracranial pressure. Approaches are determined upon several factors including: the size of the ventricles, location and size of the tumors, and the site of origin. The management options include: direct microscopic resection of the tumor (Transcortical or transcallosal), preliminary shunt before tumor attack, preliminary ETV, direct endoscopic resection of the tumor, and Gamma knife radiosurgery. Preliminary shunt may lead to seedling of the tumor and may convert a roomy lateral ventricle to a slit ventricle rendering tumor approach a difficult situation. Material and methods: Twelve cases of lateral ventricle tumors with hydrocephalus are managed surgically; six of them undergone direct tumor resection either microscopic or endoscopic via the transcortical approach, five cases managed by initial shunt and one case managed by initial ETV before tumor resection. Results: Negative effects of preliminary shunt appeared in the form of seedling via the shunt tube with the development of malignant CSF ascites in two cases and collapse of the lateral ventricles before tumor resection in two cases and development of subdural hematoma in one case. The outcome was good in 58%, fair in 17% and poor in 25% of cases. Conclusion: Lateral ventricle tumors present a unique surgical challenge. They should be managed in their early stages by aggressive surgical excision and the shunting of CSF is to be considered a second stage of the management to minimize the chance of CSF seedling and to avoid the development of slit lateral ventricles before tumor resection.

Abstract: Purpose: Chemotherapy regimens containing anthracyclines and taxanes represent the landmark of neoadjuvant systemic therapy of breast cancer. We performed this study in order to compare the efficacy and tolerability of starting neoadjuvant regimens including Doxorubicin-Cyclophosphamide Versus Paclitaxel Weekly in locally advanced or operable breast cancer patients. Methods: Fifty two operable or locally advanced, breast cancer patients were identified. Twenty four patients had received 4 cycles of neoadjuvant doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC), followed by definitive surgery then 12 weeks of adjuvant paclitaxel (group A). In 28 patients the reverse sequence was employed, with neoadjuvant 12 weeks of paclitaxol, followed by definitive surgery then adjuvant 4 cycles doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) (group B).Results: We observed 12 pathological complete responses (pCR) (50%) in group A and 3 pCR (11.1%) in group B. Also, we recorded 12 pathological partial response (pPR) in group A (50%) and 19 (70.4%) in group B. Also in group B there were 5 patients (18.5%) with pathological stable disease (pSD) and one patient progressed onto therapy. The patient who progressed was excluded from the study. In the subset of triple negative tumor we had 8 patients (4 in each group) with pCR rate of 75% in group A and 25% in group B with no statistical significance (p = 0.939 and 0.804 respectively). In tumors expressing HER2 positive status pCR was 54.5% (6 patients of 11) in group A and 25% in group B (2 patients of 8), while in HER2 negative tumors pCR was 46.2% in group A (6 patients of 13) and only 1 patient of 19 (5.3%) passed into pCR in group B with no statistical significance (p = 0.682 and 0.128 respectively). In tumors expressing ER and/or PgR receptor status pCR was 50% in group A (p = 1.00) and 0% in group B (p =0.014), while in hormone receptor negative tumors pCR was 25% (3 patients of 12) in group A and 33.3% in group B (3 patients of 9). The significant factors for response in group A were small tumor size (T) and lower stage and for group B were lower grade, small tumor size (T), lower stage and negative hormonal status. The different subsets ranked by pCR rate in group A were triple positive (100%), triple negative (75%), hormone positive HER2 negative (33.3%) then finally hormone negative HER2 positive (0%) while in group B were hormone negative HER2 positive (40%), triple negative (25%), and finally both triple positive and hormone positive HER2 negative (both 0%). The mean relapse free survival (RFS) was 16.5 months for group A and 15.48 months for group B with no statistical significance (p = 0.598) while the mean overall survival (OS) was 16.5 months for group A and 18.22 months for group B with no statistical significance (p = 0.369). Thus starting with anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be associated with higher rate of pCR if compared to taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy but until now no survival benefit was obtained. Treatments were well tolerated. The most common toxicities were myelosuppression, nausea, vomiting fatigue, alopecia, sensory neuropathy and finally 5 asymptomatic and transient LVEF decrease have been recorded, without any case of clinical cardiotoxicity.Conclusions: Both anthracycline-based (namely doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) versus taxane-based (namely paclitaxel weekly) as a neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced or operable breast cancer are considered the 'standard' for neoadjuvant setting and we can start with either of them followed by the other.

Abstract:With this study, the effects of massage was examined on the life quality. Physical function, pain and social function values of men who had massage were found to be significantly higher than women who had massage (p<0,05). Among the people who had massage, physical function, pain, general health, social function values in one week of light physical activity; pain and general health, mental health and vitality in moderate physical activity; physical function, pain, physical role, general health, social function values in vigorous physical activity of participants who had had physical activity for 5 and 7 days were found to be higher than the participants who had exercised for 1 and 2-4 days (p<0,05). Preferring to have massage may stem from health, social and physical reasons. It is identified that general health, pain, physical function, physical role, mental health and vitality values and social function values of individuals who do exercise for 5 and 7 days in a week get more significance.  It is observed in our study that, there are significant relations between reasons for preferring to have massage and exercise frequency and some values of quality of life.

Abstract:The current study investigated the antibacterial properties0.25%, 0.50% and 1% of two different types of nano-TiO2 against a selection of pathogenic bacteria (Escherchia coli) isolated from a sample of wastewater from Riyadh, for the purposes of further application to time and cost effective water purification in Saudi Arabia. A commercial sample of nanoparticles metal oxide containing 98% titanium dioxide (TiO2) that was brown in colour – hereinafter (T2B). Another commercial sample of nanoparticles metal oxide was obtained containing 99% titanium dioxide (TiO2) that was white in colour – hereinafter (T2W). Pathogenic bacteria were cultured in liquid nutrient medium to evaluate the antibacterial effects of 0.25%, 0.50% and 1% of both types of nano-TiO2.Electron microscopy was also used to observe the effect of both nanoparticles on the pathogenic bacterial cells in the liquid media specimens. For both nano-specimens significant results were seen for 0.25%0.50% and 1%  concentration. The bacterial number substantially decreased with 0.25%, 0.50% and 1% of both nanoparticles. However, better results were obtained with 0.50% and 1% of (T2B), where bacterial inhibition was greater in both media. With (T2B), bacterial clearance was observed in nearly half the time needed (T2W). This has been observed in both media. In the liquid medium, complete cell death was seen with 1% (T2B) after 4 hours compared with 6 hours with 1% (T2W). Electron microscopy showed bacterial samples completely destroyed with 1% (T2B). E. coli appeared to be sensitive bacteria to the presence of both (T2W) and (T2B) nanoparticles, as they experienced significant bacteria disruption and damage .

Abstract: Objective: The aim of the study is to confirm the relationship between low serum C-peptide levels and microvascular diabetic complication, especially diabetic retinopathy in Type 1 diabetics in the Egyptian population. Research Design and Methods,20 type 1 Egyptian diabetic patients (9 males and 11 females) were selected and included, matching demographic criteria (average age of 18 years, range 14 - 22) and all were diagnosed having diabetes for about 5 years duration (range 4.7 - 6.2). All recruited patients were followed during the 5 years by regular follow-up visits, a visit every 4 months (3 visits per year). Serum C-peptide and Fundus Examination were estimated twice, at year 1 (recruitment period) and at year 5 at the end of the study. Results: At the end of our retrospective observational study period (5years) and among the 20 followed patients, 3 patients (15%) - all females - developed moderate NPDR changes, all 3 subjects had very low undetectable serum C-peptide levels (0.01-0.15 ng/ml) (p<0.01)5 patients (25 %) - 2 males and 3 females - developed mild NPDR changes, all 5 subjects had a low serum C-peptide level average 0.2 ng/ml (range 0.15 - 0.3) (p<0.01).No diabetic retinopathy changes could be detected by fundus examination in the remaining 12 patients (60%) at the end of the study period. All 12 subjects had an average serum C-peptide level of 0.4 ng/ml (range 0.2 - 0.7). Average HbA1c level among all patients, was 7.3% (range 6.5- 7.8%). It did not correlate much with the incidence of DR and it was not statistically significant. (p<0.5). Conclusion: Diabetic retinopathy is a serious disabling microvascular diabetes complication. Early detection plays a major role for its prevention and prognosis. C-peptide levels could be a valuable diagnostic tool for the prediction of this diabetes complication and deserves more awareness among the healthcare providers for the benefit of our patients.

Abstract: Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method has been used to estimate the parameters of inverse Weibull (IW) model depended on a complete sample. In order to obtain Bayes estimates of parameters for the IW model using MCMC simulation method in OpenBUGS (an established software for Bayesian analysis using MCMC method), independent non-informative set of priors for IW parameters are assumed to obtain samples from the posterior density function. It has been shown that the MCMC is easy to implement computationally. In addition, the estimates always exist and statistically consistent and their probability intervals are convenient to construct. Applying MCMC to estimate parameters of IW is elaborated. A real software reliability data set is considered to illustrate the methods of inference discussed in this paper.

Abstract: This research presents the theory of the Concurrent Thinking. This theory adds to the patterns of thinking a new pattern known as the concurrent thinking which means thinking of multiple things at the same time, i.e., doing more than one mental process simultaneously and thus processing more than one task at a time. This all is done with high proficiency. This research is devided into four majour parts as it discusses the concept of the concurrent thinking, then there is a review of the researches about the mind and nuerves, then there is the discussion of the strategy of concurrency, and the final part is deriving conclusions.

Abstract: Background: Color blindness or Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) is X- linked recessive, characterized by decrease ability to perceive the difference between colors. The main aim of this paper was to determine the prevalence rate of color blindness among new military recruits in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of 2310 young adult underwent screening and examinations for military service between August 2013 and November 2013. Ishihara color test plates were used to diagnose color blindness among participants. Findings were grouped into three groups based on the month of examination. Data entered into SPSS, cleaned, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The prevalence of color blindness among the new recruits was determined. Results: A total of 2310 young adult were enumerated and 2057 (89.1%) were examined. Among the studied sample 39 (1.9%) out of 2057were unfit for military service due to color blindness with mean age of 22.7+3.7 SD years(range 18-30 years). The prevalence of color blindness was found to be 1.90% (1.35—2.60) with 95% CI. Conclusions: The prevalence of color blindness among male young recruits was low compared with other studies in the country and around the world.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic and phenotypic parameters of milk yield, lactation length, calving interval and body weight at first calving and to study possibilities of genetic improving performance in the first lactation. A total number of 2066 buffalo cows, progeny of 195 sires and 1259 dams, raised at four experimental herds of Animal Production Research Institute (APRI), Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Egypt were used. Genetic and phenotypic parameters were estimated from multiple-trait animal model using REML procedure where herd, season and year of calving effects and age at calving as a covariate were considered as fixed and animal additive genetic effect as random. Heritability estimates were 0.13, 0.11, 0.06 and 0.23 for milk yield, lactation length, calving interval and body weight at first calving, respectively. Estimates of genetic and phenotypic correlations among studied traits were ranging from -0.21 to 0.79 and from -0.12 to 0.66, respectively. The regression coefficient of genetic and phenotypic values on year of calving for milk yield, calving interval and body weight at first calving,  indicated that there were a negligible genetic and phenotypic trends. While, lactation length had a different trend. Generally, the current results showed that the direct genetic selection to improve milk yield based on the first lactation traits is not expect to have a genetic response through a selection scheme in this population.

Abstract: O-glycosylation of mammalian proteins is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTMs). Hence, there is significant interest in the development of computational methods for reliable prediction of O-Glycosylation sites from amino acid sequences. One particular challenge in training the classifiers comes from the fact that the available dataset is highly imbalanced, which makes the classification performance for the minority class becomes unsatisfactory. Traditional sampling approaches generally rely on random re-sampling from a given dataset. However, these methods cannot utilize all the information available in the training set and it increases the false positive rate. This paper proposes a new approach for predicting the O-glycosylation sites which is based on Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) and Random Forest (RF). PSO is used as evolutionary under-sampling technique for balancing the dataset, and Random Forest is used as a classifier. The results obtained from the proposed approach and other related researches, demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the performance of other approaches for the experimented dataset.

Abstract: A mixing evaluation is a systematic approach addressing the impacts of changing water source on water quality. This paper examines water quality of Umoum Drain (UD), Western Delta region, Egypt. It discusses a blending methodology with Nubaria Canal (NC) water for predicting its suitability for reuse in irrigation. Water samples were collected for one year, from October 2012 to September 2013, from UD and NC. In lab, water from both drain and canal was mixed using ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5, respectively, to determine the suitable ratio for irrigation. By measuring Physical and chemical parameters, regarding to FAO guidelines, it was noticed severe restrictions on reusing water from UD for irrigation of susceptible crops, while no serious restrictions were noticed regarding to NC water. Furthermore, for blended water samples, it was noticed slight to moderate restrictions. Fecal coliform(FC) bacteria compared to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines expected possible health hazards from pathogens in case of irrigating crops eaten raw or uncooked for UD, NC and blended water samples except sample with ratio 1:4 and 1:5, respectively. Based on physical, chemical and bacteriological results obtained, water quality index analysis classified UD as poor drainage water while NC as fair surface water. Also, blended water samples are classified as marginal surface water for samples prepared form drainage fresh water with ratio of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, in addition to a ratio of 1:4 and 1:5 for the fair surface water. The study recommended to blend the drainage water with fresh water using the ratio of 1:4 or 1:5, respectively, to be used in irrigation of eaten raw crops.

Abstract: Aim: Taxene – carboplatin is the first line in the treatment of primary epithelial ovarian cancer but only two third of women will respond, the majority will recur. One third of the patients will be resistance to treatment. Our aim to assess the microtubule associated protein and other prognostic in primary epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods: Fifty nine patients with stages Ic-IV epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent surgery either radical, optimal or suboptimal surgery are included in this study. These patients received combination chemotherapy taxol 135 mgm/m2, carboplatin area under curve 5.This prospective study was carried out in oncology department, Tanta university hospital from June 2008 to June 2009. Their formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue specimens are subjected to immunohistochemistry for microtubule associated protein (Tau). Correlation of Tau protein with progression free survival, overall survival and overall response were done. Primary endpoint was overall response with Tau; secondary end points were overall survival and progression free survival. Results: Thirty four patients out of 59 (57.6%) presented with advanced stage ovarian cancer. tau negative and positive was detected in 28 (47.5) and 31(52.5%) patients respectively. Tau negative was associated with high overall response than tau positive (11, 6 patients respectively, p=0.005). 3-year PFS in Tau-negative and Tau-positive groups were 60.1% and 38.2%, respectively (p = 0.01). In univariate analysis low expression of protein Tau, early stage of diagnosis, tumor residual less than or equal to 1 cm and serous tumor were associated with better PFS. In multivariate analysis no factor was statistically significant. As regard overall survival, 3 year overall survival was 79.9, 49.9% in Tau negative and positive respectively (0.026). In univariate analysis Tau positive, residual tumor more than 1 cm and resistance to first line chemotherapy were each correlated with worse OS (p <0,05). In multivariate analysis tau positive and resistance to first line chemotherapy significantly were associated with worse prognosis. Conclusion: Microtubule associated protein (Tau) is a good prognostic and predictive factor of response to taxene in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract: Three insect growth regulators (IGRs) triflumuron, cyromazine and pyriproxyfen as well as the plant extract neem oil were evaluated against 2nd instar larvae of Musca domestica by feeding and dipping bioassay methods. In both assays, cyromazine proved to be the most effective compound against housefly larvae, followed by triflumuron and pyriproxyfen, while the plant extract neem oil was the least effective one. According to IC50 values (concentration which to inhibit the emergence of 50% of adults), the results indicated that larval treatments with the test compounds using feeding method (0.6, 0.35, 0.66 and 43 ppm, respectively) were more effective for larvicidal activity than dipping assay (0.8,0.46, 0.9 and 60 ppm, respectively). Different levels of potentiation reflected by the inhibition of adult emergence were also obtained when the test IGRs were applied jointly with the plant extract neem oil against housefly larvae.

Abstract: Objective: To explore the value of myeloperoxidase in screening patients with chest pain in early time. Methods 324 individuals were recruited and divided into coronary heart disease (CHD) group (165 cases) and non-coronary heart disease group (NCHD) (159 cases) according to the result of coronary CT angiography (CTA). CHD patients were divided into two groups, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group and stable angina pectoris (SAP) group. We collected plasma samples in each group, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels were detected in plasma. MPO concentrations were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Gensini scores were used to assess coronary artery lesions. Results: The plasma MPO levels were significantly higher in CHD group than those in NCHD group (p<0.01). Patients with ACS had significantly higher MPO concentrations than those with SAP. MPO in the CHD patients had close relations with Gensini score. Sensitivity, specificity and total consistent rate of MPO were 79.39%, 96.22%, and 87.65% respectively. Kappa value (0.75, P0.05) showed that the MPO level was in good agreement with CTA. Conclusions: The plasma MPO level can help us identify patients with chest pain in early time. MPO level has clear relations with the width of coronary artery.

Abstract: Introduction; End stage renal disease (ESRD) has become a worldwide health concern. In developing countries, accurate data registry about epidemiology of dialysis patients which allows easy statistical analysis and determination of the size of the problem for future planes, are lacking. The aim of this work was to study the clinical, laboratory and demographic data of all patients diagnosed as ESRD at Ain Shams University adult hospitals. Patients & methodology; Data of 1600 patients were collected retrospectively from the registered data of the nephrology department of Ain Shams University adult hospital, over a period of five years. Results; demographic data showed that the mean age of ESRD patients was 52.5±15.3 years, females were 51.3%, with 70% coming from urban areas, 11.9% had a positive family history of chronic kidney disease, 22% were smokers & 2.3% were chronic analgesic abusers. As regards the co-morbid conditions, (54.7%) were hypertensives, (34.3%) were diabetics, (7.9%) had chronic liver disease, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus was found in (3.4%). The main two causes of ESRD were hypertensive nephrosclerosis (27%) and diabetic nephropathy (24.6%), whereas (16.6%) had ESRD of unknown etiology. The number of new patients starting dialysis treatment at Ain Shams University hospital between January 2005 and December 2009 was increasing from 257 patients in 2005 to 381 patients in 2009. The mean age of ESRD patients was increasing, from 51.7±15.6 years in 2005 to 53 ± 15.7 years in 2009.The incidence of hypertensive nephrosclerosis and chronic pyelonephritis decreased from 2005 to 2009, while the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis increased with a highly significant statistical difference. Positive HCV Ab was found in (25.8%) of patients, being more common in males & patients coming from urban areas with a highly significant statistical difference. Ultra-sonography showed bilateral shrunken kidney in (45.7%) followed by normal sized kidney in (35.6%), stones ± hydronephrosis (10.1%).Hypertensive nephrosclerosis was the main cause of ESRD in cases of bilateral shrunken kidney, diabetic nephropathy in normal sized kidney (52.6%), and polycystic kidney disease in cases of enlarged kidney (86.3%).Conclusion:- Hypertensive nephrosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy were the main causes of ESRD in Ain Shams University hospital. The incidence of new patients starting dialysis was increasing through the study years, with a decrease in the incidence of hypertensive nephrosclerosis, chronic pyelonephritis and analgesic nephropathy and an increase in the incidence of diabetic nephropathy and lupus nephritis.

Abstract: Background & objectives: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that infects most people worldwide. CMV infection is usually harmless and rarely causes illness. A healthy immune system can hold the virus in check. However, if a person's immune system is seriously weakened in any way, the virus can become active and cause CMV disease. Methods: The samples consisted of 120 pregnant women, prospectively screened for CMV by serology from March 2012 to November 2012. The women were presenting for routine antenatal care at a tertiary referral women's hospital Maternal and Children Hospital (M.C.H.) Buridah, Elqassem, All subjects gave written consent. CMV IgG and IgM were detected in patient serum by using a commercial microparticle enzyme immunoassay, and determination of the presence of CMV genome by PCR in Amniotic Fluid. Results: The age range of the pregnant women was 18 to 46 years, with no significant difference seen between the mean age of seropositive and seronegative women. The CMV seropositivity rate for the pregnant women showed that, overall, 76.8% women were CMV IgG positive at pregnancy. Pregnant women were considered in high risk due to (i) documented seroconversion to positively for CMV from 3 months before conception to the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (four patients) (ii) CMV symptoms (increase in liver enzyme levels and/or fever) and presence of CMV immunoglobulin M (IgM) (five patients) (iii) intrauterine growth retardation as detected by ultrasound (three patients). PCR was used to detect excretion of CMV from the amniotic fluid in 5 of six cases (83.3%) were sero positive, and 1 false negative(16.7%). In group without infection, PCR was positive in 1 case (1 false positive). Conclusion: Congenital CMV infection is a major health problem that should be approached on the basis of which women should be enrolled in prenatal diagnostic programs, which clinical specimens should be tested, and which laboratory procedures should be adopted for the diagnosis of congenital CMV transmission or infection. Determination of the presence of CMV genome by PCR in amniotic fluid can be considered as a rapid,non invasive and accurate tool for the prenatal diagnosis of congenital CMV infection but negative results cannot rule out of infection,So that diagnosis of this infection based on correlation between serological and PCR Identification.

Abstract: This study was conducted at the lab of geometrical analysis of spine, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Egypt to determine correlation between back geometrical parameters and arm function of children suffering from brachial plexus injury resulting from obstetrical trauma specially those of upper trunk lesion (Erb’s type) affecting C5, C6 and C7. Thirty Erb’s palsied children participated in this study. All children ranged in age from three to six years. Formetric (rastersterography) instrument was used for assessing the back geometry. Data of Erb’s palsied children was correlated to arm function according to modified Mallet system with p-value at 0.05. The results of this study showed negative correlation between the measured parameters including trunk imbalance, lateral deviation (rms), lateral deviation (max), surface rotation (rms) and surface rotation (max). From the obtained results, it can be concluded that, there is negative correlation between back geometrical parameters and arm function according to modified Mallet system in obstetrical brachial plexus palsied children.

Abstract: Silver nanoparticles(AgNPs) are widely used in industrial, daily life, healthcare and medical products such as water purifiers, toys, sunscreen, wound dressings, urinary catheters and bone prostheses. So we need more studies about AgNPs adverse effect. In this study we discuss the effect of AgNPs (with mean particle size 20±1.2nm) at the cell level by using primary isolated rat hepatocyte. We highlight the AgNPs cytotoxicity by assessing cell viability through trypan blue exclusion test, determination of enzymatic leakage percent and mitochondrial damage through analysis of ALT and LDH enzymes release, assessment of oxidative stress by determination of reduced glutathione content and lipid peroxides formation, examination of histopathological changes under light and electron microscope. Results revealed a significant reduction in cell viability and glutathione level and significant increase in lipid peroxidation and enzymatic leakage levels in AgNPs- treated groups compared to control. Alteration in morphology and apoptosis were detected by light and electron microscopy in AgNPs- treated groups compared to control. In summary, these effects on the cell will help in understanding the mechanisms and risk assessment of AgNPs exposure in the future.

Abstract: The life-threatening drug hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS), also known as DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) syndrome is characterized by the presence of at least three of the following findings: fever, exanthema, eosinophilia, atypical circulating lymphocytes, lymphadenopathy, and hepatitis. This syndrome is difficult to diagnose, as many of its clinical features mimic those found with other serious systemic disorders. This idiosyncratic reaction occurs most commonly after exposure to drugs such as allopurinol, sulfides, and aromatic anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine and very rarely oral contraceptive pills.  We report a case of female patient, who was on oral contraceptive pills induced DRESS syndrome and presented with systemic symptoms as well as acute pancreatitis.
