In 2014, obligatory medical check-ups of the child population were legislatively introduced in Azerbaijan. At the same time, for the early detection of diseases and various pathological conditions, health services of the country paid special attention to precisely preventive measures which will predetermine both the state of child health, as well as the quality of their life in the future.In order to increase the efficiency of obligatory medical check-ups, the morbidity rates of the child population of Azerbaijan were analyzed based on the results of preventive medical examinations for the period 2014—2019.

The article is devoted to the review of current changes in the legislation on notaries related to the development of electronic civil circulation, analysis of existing digital risks and assessment of the role of notaries in combating them. In modern economic realities, a significant expansion of the sphere of competence of the notary is carried out by introducing completely new notarial actions into the scope of the notary’s terms of reference. At the same time, the notary does not just follow the general ‘digital’ trend, but independently makes significant efforts to effectively perform the tasks of the social sphere regulator assigned to it by the state. The creation of the Unified Notary Information System as part of the formation of the technological infrastructure to ensure the security and stability of legal relations in the context of electronic civil circulation takes to a new level the quality of notarial services and the security of legally relevant information. The role of notaries significantly increases in conditions when the use of digital technologies in the economy, public administration, social sphere becomes one of the main vectors of world development, and society and the state inevitably face the flip side of this process – digital risks that jeopardize the safety of participants in civil turnover and their property. In 2020, as part of the implementation of the national program ‘Digital Economy’, it is planned to introduce a number of innovations that will create the basis for a stable and secure ‘digital’ turnover.

Since 2002, Sunni jihadi groups have been active in Iranian Baluchistan without managing to plunge the region into chaos. This book suggests that a reason for this, besides Tehran’s military responses, has been the quality of Khomeini and Khamenei’s relationship with a network of South-Asia-educated Sunni ulama (mawlawis) originating from the Sarbaz oasis area, in the south of Baluchistan. Educated in the religiously reformist, socially conservative South Asian Deoband School, which puts the madrasa at the centre of social life, the Sarbazi ulama had taken advantage, in Iranian territory, of the eclipse of Baluch tribal might under the Pahlavi monarchy (1925-79). They emerged then as a bulwark against Soviet influence and progressive ideologies, before rallying to Khomeini in 1979. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, they have been playing the role of a rampart against Salafi propaganda and Saudi intrigues. The book shows that, through their alliance with an Iranian Kurdish-born Muslim-Brother movement and through the promotion of a distinct ‘Sunni vote’, they have since the early 2000s contributed towards – and benefitted from – the defence by the Reformist presidents Khatami (1997-2005) and Ruhani (since 2013) of local democracy and of the minorities’ rights. They endeavoured to help, at the same time, preventing the propagation of jihadism and Sunni radicalisation to Iran – at least until the ISIS/Daesh-claimed attacks of June 2017, in Tehran, shed light on the limits of the Islamic Republic’s strategy of reliance on Deobandi ulama and Muslim-Brother preachers in the country’s Sunni-peopled peripheries.

The mitochondrion is an essential organelle that supplies ATP in cardiomyocytes (CMs). However, damaged mitochondria are harmful via the production of reactive oxygen species and induction of apoptosis in pathological conditions. Therefore, quality of mitochondria should be controlled tightly through various mitochondrial quality control mechanisms. Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) is considered an integral part of this mechanism, and recent investigations uncovered the role of PINK1 and Parkin in mitophagy. However, these observations were made under artificial conditions, such as over-expression of Parkin or treatment with CCCP, and thus the precise mechanism has not been fully elucidated in more pathophysiologically relevant conditions. Recent evidence suggests that mitophagy can take place independently of ATG7, a molecule essential for the conventional form of autophagy, and that this form of autophagy is ULK1-dependent. We investigated the role of ULK1 and ATG7 in mediating mitophagy using mitochondria-targeted Keima (Mito-Keima) in cultured rat neonatal CMs. Keima has a bimodal excitation spectrum peaking at 440 and 560 nm, corresponding to the neutral and acidic pH, respectively. In CMs transfected with Mito-Keima, the fluorescent dots with a high 560nm/440nm ratio represent the mitochondria incorporated into autolysosomes which indicate mitophagy. Here we report that ULK1 plays a more predominant role in glucose deprivation (GD) -induced mitophagy than ATG7. Control CMs exhibited 8.7±1.0 % of the area of high-ratio dots per cells after GD. Knockdown of ULK1 significantly reduced the area to 2.3±0.9 % in CMs after GD (p<0.01, vs sh-Control). The reduction was significantly greater in CMs with knockdown of ULK1 than that of ATG7 (7.0±1.6 %, p<0.05, sh-ULK1 vs sh-ATG7). In addition, knockdown of Beclin1 and Drp1 also significantly decreased the area of high-ratio dots (about 1.0 % and 0.5 %, respectively). Overexpression of ULK1 was sufficient to induce mitophagy without starvation, whereas that of ATG7 was not. These results suggest that ULK1, Beclin1 and Drp1 play an essential role in mediating GD-induced mitophagy in CMs.

Introduction: The development of toddlers is noteworthy considering the population size is large enough. Early detection is an important development with KPSP carried out in an effort to facilitate early detection of developmental disorders that can be given early intervention and referral early in children, in the end the quality of a child's development may be optimal. Trained cadres have the authority to monitor the development of children with KPSP Method: cross sectional analytic approach. Population health cadres in the district Lembeyan with Random sampling techniques with independent variable knowledge and skills of cadres, the role of cadres in the implementation of early detection of early childhood development using KPSP as the dependent variable. Results: Correlation between knowledge and the role of cadres in the implementation of early detection of toddlers development using KPSP analyzed using Spearman Rank test with the results of 0565, while the role and the skills to 0.485 correlation value. Conclusion: there is a relationship of knowledge to the role of cadres and there is a relationship between skill to the role of cadres in the implementation of early detection of toddler development using KPSP. It is hoped the clinic routinely provide refresher material on monitoring developments and increasing the number of screening kit (infrastructure for monitoring developments).

Abstract Background: The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is classified among the 5 countries with the highest global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and highest under-five mortality rate (U5MR) in the world. Kasai is one of 14 provinces of the DRC, which have a high U5MR and MMR. Despite this overriding concern, almost no studies have been conducted to assess maternal et child situation in this province. The aim of this study was to assess access, availability, and quality of maternal and child health services in Kasai Province in the DRC. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 49 Health Facilities (HFs) integrating quantitative and qualitative data collection was conducted in 18 Health Zones in Kasai Province in the DRC. Documentary review, interviews and direct observation of HFs were performed to collect data. Pearson’s chi-squared test was performed to establish the relation between variables.Results: Nearly 54 % of visited HFs population had a geographical access to maternal and child health services and the majority of medical acts were unaffordable. Basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care (EmOC) were offered respectively by only 11.8% and 7.6% of HF and none provided high quality basic or comprehensive EmOC. This low availability and quality of EmOC are due to the insufficiency of necessary inputs and personal for maternal and child health services in the majority of HFs. Conclusion: The situation of maternal and child health services is very precarious in Kasai Province. The improvement of EmOC coverage will require rehabilitation of infrastructure, dotation of equipment, regular supply of medicines and strengthening of human resource capacity.

The education system is organized in the form of cycles, each feeding the one following it with learners. They will continue their studies in the destination cycle, and their future will certainly depend, at least in part, on the quality of the skills acquired in the previous cycle. Given the divergences and disparities existing between the different cycles mainly due to the fact that each responds to its own design logic and in the absence of coordination between them, there is a huge lack of quality to gain at the interface of the cycles . The referral system that plays the role of supply service needs to be updated to strengthen educational quality, but it is not the only one. It is also necessary to help the orienting staff to assess the quality of the learners at its true value, to set up partnership links between the cycles to help each other in favor of quality, and to set up reception control systems at the entry of each cycle, supported by corrective and preventive measures.
