The Influence of Socio-psychology Model of Well-being forMulticultural Environment in the Russian Higher Educationsystem
The article discusses the development of a multicultural environment as a factor of improving the well-being context and competitiveness of the higher education system. We believe that the scale of what is happening today in the world at different levels leads to a substantial change in national structure of Russia. Given an extensive review of the Russian and foreign literature on multiculturalism. The concept of Interculturalism, Polyculturalism and multiculturalism was reviewed. We also argue that the formation of the elite and the content of the state national policy are interrelated. We believe that, it is the level of higher education institutions, the results of their research and technology development activities, determines not only their place in the international rankings, but also the dynamics of economic and innovative development of individual territories and entire countries. The process of forming new paradigm to develop the role of higher education system, there are many factors effect on this process especially in some countries like Russia and Belarus

SETTING AND HARDENING OF AGRO/CEMENT COMPOSITES
In this study, the use of bagasse fiber (BF) and unbleached bagasse pulp (BP) in a cement matrix, as a raw material, to produce lightweight construction materials is reported. The bagasse was used as partial replacement of cement at different levels: 0% (control cement), 1%, 2% 3%, and 4% by weight. The average size of bagasse fibers was less than 2 mm. Although a reduction in the physical and mechanical strength was observed, the incorporation of either fiber or pulp increased the water of consistency and setting time. A composite containing 4% of bagasse fibers can be used for lightweight concrete. FT-IR spectra showed that the BF or BP adversely affect the rate of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) formation by decreasing its promotion
ESTIMATION OF FURAN LEVELS IN SOME CANNED FOODS IN EGYPT AND HOW TO REDUCE IT
Furan is naturally occurring compound found at low levels in many foods. Furan has been formed in a wide range of thermally treated foods especially heated foods sealed in cans and jars. The primary source of furan in food is thermal degradation and rearrangement of organic compounds. Furan is a five-membered ring which can induce tumors and liver toxicity in experimental animals and is classified as ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans’ by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. In this study furan levels in several kinds of canned and jarred foods from Egyptian markets have been estimated. Also, several heat treatments have been applied for some food samples aiming to reduce furan content in these samples. Noticed levels of furan have been shown in tested samples. Coffee samples had higher content of furan in comparison to other products. After thermal treatments the obtained results show that, furan content reduced to about 38-50% of the original content for 50o C at 5 min and the loss percent raised to about 55-71% at 20 min. At 60o C, furan content reduced to about 47-56% of the original content at 5 min and the loss percent raised to about 62-78% at 20 min. And at 70o C, furan content reduced to about 53-59% at 5 min and the loss percent raised to about 70-89% at 20 min

Efektivitas Pengawasan terhadap Izin Tinggal Tenaga Kerja Asing di Wilayah Kerja Kantor Imigrasi Kelas I Pontianak (Studi Kasus terhadap Tenaga Kerja Asing di PT Well Harvest Winning Sungai Tegar, Kecamatan Kendawangan Kabupaten Ketapang)
This thesis discusses the role of the effectiveness of supervision of the residence permits of foreign workers in the region of class I Pontianak immigration office (a case study of foreign workers in PT Well Harvest Winning Tough River, District Kendawangan Ketapang). From the results of this thesis research we concluded that that Effectiveness Monitoring carried out by the Immigration Office Class I stayed Pontianak Against Foreign Workers Permits have been mostly ineffective due to very presence of violations in years 2014-2015, even though the relevant public has to supervise the workforce foreign accordance with the existing procedure only from foreign labor itself negligent, sometimes foreign nationals ignores the existing procedures at the Immigration office, causing their violations of immigration it can be shown by the violations such as: (a) Foreigners carrying out activities not suitable immigration permit (in accordance with article 122 paragraph a) 7 Case. (B) The foreigners do activities that endanger the security and order and does not respect the regulations (under Article 75) 2 Case. (C) Foreigners Stay Permit holders that have expired and are still in the Indonesian region of less than 90 (ninety) days of the deadline his residence permit. (Under Article 124) 4 Case. actors affecting oversight residence permits to foreign workers who work PT Well Harvest Winning that are in the working area of Immigration Class I Pontianak is Budget operational fund supervision is not appropriate, the lack of quantity and quality of the officer / officers / officials of immigration as a civil servant, a means and adequate infrastructure, as well as the Sponsor and TKA itself in obeying immigration rules and the role of the community as well as central and local governments in immigration law enforcement and supervision work area Class I Immigration Office of Pontianak City wide composed of 12 districts and 2 Cities. Efforts made by the Immigration Class I Pontianak in overseeing foreign labor is to provide direction and guidance to companies that did not submit a report on the whereabouts and activities of expatriate personnel, monitoring directly into the field where / location TKA are and their activities despite various limitations, and from time to time monitor or raids in cooperation with various authorities
Développement et évaluation de méthodes pour le diagnostic prénatal non-invasif à partir des cellules fœtales circulant dans le sang maternel
Abstract : Current prenatal diagnosis depends on invasive procedures and is thus offered only to high-risk pregnancies. Development of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) would change the risk-benefit ratio and make it likely that more women would benefit from prenatal testing. Scientists have documented the presence of rare fetal cells in maternal blood and envisioned targeting them with specific markers and their use in NIPD. Considering their extremely low frequency in maternal blood, fetal cells have been difficult to retrieve and use in clinical practice. Therefore, there is a pressing need for systematic sequential studies to evaluate their feasibility in NIPD.
Generally, detection of rare cells within a large cell population carries great potentialities for the prospects of cancer management and NIPD. Manual scanning is very cumbersome and time-consuming Therefore; the first part of our project was, dedicated to the optimization of an effective strategy to evaluate retrieval of rare cells. We have developed a way of distributing a controlled number of target cells among hundreds of thousands of other cells on microscope slides. This strategy allows the precise evaluation of the retrieval of rare events and the comparizon of the efficacy of different techniques and enrichment approaches by knowing the definite number and locations of target cells on the slides. Furthermore, it allows the evaluation of hybridization of missed events. We have also developed a robust custom-made detection algorithm for rare cells using the MetaSystems automated platform and have used this strategy in the validation of manual and automatic scanning of 60 slides with a pre-defined number of rare male cells among a pure population of female cells using XY-FISH. Consequently, we tested the developed classifier for the detection of real fetal cells from maternal blood in both normal and aneuploid pregnancies with Down syndrome. We further evaluated the number of fetal cells with different methods of enrichments in the first and second trimesters. The data collected confirmed the early presence of fetal cells in all of the pregnancies tested and their frequencies were higher in cases of aneuploidies. Fetal cells are in a state of dynamic change throughout the pregnancy. Higher numbers of these cells can be obtained by optimizing the harvest time and methods of enrichment. We found that automatic scanning is more sensitive and reliable than manual detection. Furthermore, it alleviates the burden of scanning large numbers of cells and thus is more suitable for clinical application. We also demonstrated the feasibility of using rare cells in NIPD. Five microdissected amniotic fetal cells from 26 cases of normal and aneuploid pregnancies were quite enough to provide accurate NIPD through using whole genome amplification coupled with QF-PCR. Our findings laid the ground for the use of rare fetal cells in maternal blood for NIPD. // Résumé : Le diagnostic prénatal résulte encore aujourd’hui de procédures invasives, qui présentent des risques pour la grossesse. Le développement du diagnostic prénatal non-invasif (DPNI) changerait le rapport risque : bénéfice, rendant le diagnostic prénatal plus intéressant pour les femmes enceintes. Plusieurs chercheurs ont montré la présence de cellules fœtales dans le sang maternel et des travaux ont été entrepris afin de les cibler et de les utiliser éventuellement en DPNI. Toutefois, la faible concentration des cellules fœtales dans le sang maternel réduit les possibilités d’isolement ainsi que celles de leur utilisation en clinique. Un autre aspect technique du DPNI, le balayage manuel, est très laborieux, surtout en terme de temps technique. Il y a donc un besoin certain pour des études approfondies afin d’évaluer et d’améliorer la faisabilité du DPNI. La détection d’évènements rares dans une grande population cellulaire offre un potentiel pour le diagnostic en oncologie mais aussi en diagnostic prénatal. Dans cette thèse, la première étude était dédiée à l’optimisation d’une stratégie pour détecter les cellules rares. Nous avons développé une méthode d’étalement sur lame d’un nombre précis de cellules cibles parmi des centaines de milliers de cellules. Cette stratégie a permis d’évaluer le taux de détection d’évènements rares et de comparer l’efficacité des techniques d’enrichissement en connaissant le nombre exact et la localisation de cellules cibles sur les lames. De plus, il a été possible d’évaluer les problèmes d’hybridation des évènements manqués. Nous avons, par la suite, développé un algorithme robuste pour la détection de cellules rares en utilisant la plateforme de microscopie automatisée MetaSystems et utilisé cette approche dans la validation des balayages manuel et automatique d’un nombre précis de cellules mâles parmi une large population de cellules femelles marquées avec la technique FISH. Nous avons testé ce classificateur avec des échantillons de sang de femmes enceintes de grossesses normales et aneuploïdes et évalué la fréquence de cellules fœtales isolées par différentes méthodes d’enrichissement au cours des premier et second trimestres de grossesse. Les données accumulées ont confirmé la présence de cellules fœtales chez toutes les grossesses et leur fréquence plus élevée dans les grossesses aneuploïdes. Le nombre de cellules fœtales est dynamique tout au long de la grossesse. De plus, un nombre plus élevé de cellules fœtales peut être obtenu en optimisant le moment du prélèvement et les méthodes d’enrichissement. De plus, le balayage automatique s’est avéré plus sensible et constant que le balayage manuel, ce qui permet de balayer un grand nombre de cellules et devient plus approprié pour une application clinique. Nous avons aussi montré la faisabilité d’utiliser des cellules fœtales dans le cadre du DPNI. Cinq cellules amniotiques microdisséquées, provenant de grossesses normales et aneuploïdes, ont suffi pour poser un diagnostic prénatal par une combinaison de l’amplification du génome complet et de la technique QF-PCR (réaction quantitative en fluorescence d’amplification entraînée par une polymérase) permettant la détection d’anomalies chromosomiques. Nos résultats ouvrent la voie à l’utilisation de cellules fœtales dans le sang maternel pour le DPNI
