MODULAÇÃO DA MICROBIOTA INTESTINAL POR PROBIÓTICOS COMO ALTERNATIVA PARA O TRATAMENTO DA DEPRESSÃO: UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: Gomes Fernanda , SANTOS LORENA CONCEIÇÃO , WELTER ÁUREA
Published: May 2021

A depressão é considerada uma das doenças que mais geram incapacidade em todo o mundo, com mecanismo fisiopatológico ainda inconclusivo, porém estudos tem evidenciado a sua relação com a microbiota intestinal em estado de disbiose. O presente trabalho de revisão bibliográfica teve como objetivo descrever o mecanismo de comunicação entre o eixo intestino-cérebro, a relação entre a disbiose intestinal e manifestação da depressão bem como a modulação da microbiota intestinal, mediante o uso de probióticos, e implicações na sintomatologia relacionada a depressão. Para tanto, a pesquisa bibliográfica foi elaborada a partir de periódicos científicos nacionais e internacionais, publicados no período de 2002 a 2020 e indexados nas bases de dados disponibilizadas no Portal Periódicos CAPES, Scientific Eletronic Library Online – SciELO e Business Source Complete—EBSCO. A importância dos microrganismos intestinais na regulação do eixo intestino-cérebro e nos distúrbios relacionados a essa via, os quais podem estar associados às alterações cerebrais envolvidas no desenvolvimento da depressão, são bem estabelecidos. Estudos clínicos envolvendo idosos, gestantes e público em geral, os quais receberam formulações probióticas, incluindo diferentes cepas bacterianas evidenciaram que, com a modulação da microbiota intestinal, o estresse relacionado a depressão bem como sintomas depressivos manifestados pelos pacientes foram atenuados, quando em comparação com os pacientes do grupo placebo. Mais investigações são necessárias para corroborar com as evidências aqui apresentadas, com vistas a validar o emprego de probióticos como uma alternativa no tratamento da depressão.

Afghanistan impact Central Asia regional security
Authors: Shangaraev R. N. , Valiev A. A.
Published: May 2021

Afghanistan, by its geographical position, covers an area of great strategic importance. It is located between South and Central Asia on the one hand and the Middle East on the other, which allows it to play an important role in economic, political and cultural relations between the countries of the region. The role and place of a given state in the modern system of international relations is determined primarily by the armed conflict that has lasted for three decades, which is accompanied by an acute political and ideological confrontation, which, in practice, deprived the country of independence in the political and economic spheres in the international arena, does not provide it with the opportunity to conduct any clear foreign policy course and threatens with a complete loss of statehood.

Kekurangan vitamin A (KVA) merupakan kondisi gangguan kesehatan akibat tidak terpenuhinya kebutuhan vitamin A di dalam tubuh. KVA merupakan defisiensi mikronutien yang paling banyak terjadi di negara berkembang, termasuk di Indonesia. Asupan vitamin A yang tidak tercukupi dapat meningkatkan prevalensi terjadinya berbagai jenis penyakit yang dapat menyerang berbagai fungsi dari organ tubuh. Pemenuhan vitamin A melalui asupan pangan hewani sulit terjangkau bagi masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah sehingga diperlukan strategi pemenuhan vitamin A melalui pangan nabati yang dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber provitamin A. Minyak sawit merah merupakan produk hasil pemurnian minyak sawit dengan tetap mempertahankan kandungan karotenoidnya yang berperan penting sebagai sumber provitamin A alami. Pemanfaatan minyak sawit merah dalam pangan khususnya sebagai bahan fortifikan pangan dapat meningkatkan status vitamin A dan berperan dalam menanggulangi permasalahan kekurangan vitamin A. Artikel ini membahas permasalahan kekurangan vitamin A di Indonesia dan strategi penanggulangannya, potensi minyak sawit merah sebagai sumber provitamin A alami, serta strategi pemanfaatan minyak sawit merah sebagai fortifikan pangan dan suplemen kesehatan.
Talgoxens Parus major antal och häckningsbiologi – resultat av 25 års holkstudier
Authors: Nilsson Jan Eric
Published: May 2021

A nest-box population of Great Tits Parus major was followed in 1986–2010. Maximum number of breeding attempts was three times higher than the minimum number but there was no significant trend through 2005. The number of nest-boxes declined from 94 to 55 during the last five years making it difficult to interpret the recent trend but most likely there was an increase. 17% of the first breeding attempts failed and resulted in replacement clutches. The number of second clutches was 13% of the number of first clutches. There was no correlation between population size and winter temperature. There was no significant advancement of laying date in spite of the fact laying date was correlated with April temperature and that local April temperature showed a significant positive trend during the study period. Mean clutch size was 9.2 eggs. The number of fledglings was 4.65, which is low compared to other studies. Replacement and second clutches produced 4.37 fledglings. Both clutch size and number of fledglings declined during the study period.
Moult pattern of primaries and secondaries during first and second flight feather molt in Great Grey Owls Strix nebulosa
Authors: Solheim Roar
Published: May 2021

Great Grey Owls start flight feather moult when in their second year. Moult was studied on outspread wings of 58 individuals in the collections at Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet in Stockholm. The owls always moulted the innermost secondaries in their first moult, and usually at least two primaries, most often P5 and P6. After this moult, birds had 11–17 juvenile feathers left in each wing, of a total of 21 flight feathers. In their second flight feather moult, birds shed primaries outwards and inwards from the primaries moulted during the first moult. A variable number of secondaries outwards from S10 and S11 were moulted. All birds retained at least one juvenile feather, always P1. The number of juvenile flight feathers after the second moult was 1–6. The collection held no individuals known to be in their third flight feather moult. Thus it was not possible to determine whether birds in this age group could be aged by the wing moult pattern. Great Grey Owls with no juvenile flight feathers should thus be classified as 4C+ in autumn, and 5C+ in spring.

Pembangunan jembatan Bahteramas dapat menjadi awal perubahan dalam mendukung kegiatan ekonomi masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak pembangunan jembatan terhadap kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat di sekitar pembangunan jembatan meliputi jenis pekerjaan, pendapatan, kesehatan dan kondisi perumahan sebelum dan saat pembangunan jembatan. Metode analisis dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif kuantitatif, menggunakan data primer dan sekunder. Populasi penelitian adalah kepala keluarga di sekitar pembangunan jembatan Bahteramas, berjumlah 140 Kepala Keluarga. Penentuan sampel menggunkan teknik probability sampling dan diperoleh sampel sebanyak 14 Kepala Keluarga. Hasil penelitian, pembangunan jembatan tidak berdampak signifikan pada variabel jenis pekerjaan masyarakat. Hal ini disebabkan masyarakat di sekitar jembatan  tidak terlibat sebagai pekerja dalam proses pembangunan jembatan. Pembangunan jembatan berdampak pada variabel pendapatan yaitu pada masyarakat yang bekerja sebagai pedagang, ini diakibatkan oleh kegiatan konsumsi para pekerja jembatan yang membeli kebutuhan sehari-hari pada pedagang sekitar pembangunan jembatan. Dampak pembangunan jembatan terhadap variabel kesehatan yaitu pembangunan jembatan menyebabkan gangguan pernapasan dan kebisingan. Dampak pembangunan jembatan terhadap kondisi bangunan rumah yaitu umur ekonomi bangunan rumah berkurang dari yang seharusnya, sebagai akbiat dari getaran yang ditimbulkan saat pemasangan tiang jembatan.
Las posibilidades didácticas del WhatsApp en la formación docente no universitaria
Authors: Ortega Maciel
Published: May 2021

The paper systematizes the teaching experience developed in a teacher training course in times of social isolation, which was mediated by an application for mobile devices such as WhatsApp. The article describes and systematizes the didactic uses of WhatsApp and the learning activities proposed in the Sociology of Education course of the Secondary Education Teacher's Degree in Mathematics at an Institute of Higher Education in the province of Catamarca. The work adopted a qualitative methodology and used for data collection, the elaborated classes, reading and documentary analysis and a semi-structured survey applied to students. The pedagogical work developed with WhatsApp showed that the application can be used for didactic purposes, that its utilities can be adapted for teaching and that the incorporation of technological means in education by themselves do not generate innovation or learning, but that the teaching strategies and the tasks designed are the ones that favor or not the construction of knowledge and autonomy in learning.

PASSENGER RAILWAY COMMUNICATION AND ATTRACTIVITY OF OUTER ZONES OF RUSSIAN MILLIONAIRE CITIES
Authors: Merkushev S.A.
Published: May 2021

The author interprets the transport accessibility of the outer zones of the cities and attractors located in them as the most important condition for the successful development of the city, excluding the socio-spatial segregation of the urban environment. The article reveals the role of railway in ensuring this accessibility in 14 millionaire cities in Russia. As a result, the paper studies six groups of cities according to the integral indicator. They differ in the level of development of railway communication, which connects the outer zones with each other and with the center. The most favorable situation is typical for Volgograd, Kazan and Yekaterinburg (first group), the least - for Chelyabinsk (sixth group). The author reveals essential differences within the three groups based on comparing the values of indicators of the provision of general urban attractors with railway traffic and the degree of its uniformity. Among the five cities with a high and increased level of development of railway communication, only Yekaterinburg has a relatively high and relatively uniform provision of attractors of external zones with this type of the transport. In most cities, where the level of development of railway communication is below average, it provides attractors relatively evenly, but not enough.
ON THE DEFINITION OF THE NOTION “MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION” IN THE RUSSIAN SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
Authors: Malykh L.M.
Published: May 2021

The article considers a new direction in foreign language teaching - "multilingual education". The novelty of this direction is determined by the systemic integration of the process of co-learning multiple languages and cultures, the development of methods of parallel learning multiple languages, deepening the functions of the native language in the process of learning foreign languages, the formation of a new type of learner, characterized by a high ability to meta-thinking, the creation of conditions for the conservation of linguistic and cultural diversity of the region of residence. The aim is to define the main criteria of the content of the term "multilingual" education taking into account the specifics of foreign language learning in Russia at the present stage. These criteria in the article are: the number of languages simultaneously studied in the educational institution, the principles of their teaching, the role of the native language in foreign language teaching, the purpose of teaching the next foreign language. A comparative analysis of the so-called traditional teaching of foreign languages in the Russian system of education and the new trend, which is called multilingual in the article, is carried out. The terms similar to multilingual education such as "polylingual / translingual / pluralingual education" are compared. The conclusion is made about the expediency of fixing the term "multilingual education" as the broadest in content and international in form. In this paper, multilingual education is understood as a scientific and methodological direction in the general theory of language teaching which is represented by various models of simultaneous (sequentially-simultaneous) teaching of several languages and cultures, at least three, including the students’ mother tongues, at different educational levels. Its specificity is determined by the introduction of systemic integration in the process of co-learning languages and cultures, the development of methods of parallel / simultaneous learning (co-learning) of several languages, revision and deepening of the functions and role of a mother tongue and culture in the learning of foreign languages, the focus of the process of co-learning languages (and cultures) on forming multilingual (multi-language) communicative competence of students, which is a holistic, integrated system of linguistic and sociocultural knowledge, skills and abilities that can expand and deepen with the acquisition of each new language.
SELF-PRESENTATION ON SOCIAL NETWORK SITES, BIG FIVE AND DARK TRIAD PERSONALITY TRAITS
Authors: Kornienko D.S. , Rudnova N.A. , Gorbushina E.A.
Published: May 2021

The spread of social networks as a new environment allows representing self-image and psychological characteristics more or less different from reality. The studies of social network sites (SNS) confirm that self-presentation on the SNS is characterized by using specific strategies to display and regulate information about oneself. Self-monitoring and perfectionistic self-presentation can be considered essential characteristics of self-presentation on a social network site profile. Various connections between personality traits and characteristics of self-presentation on the SNS are revealed. Many studies replicate the relations between extraversion, neuroticism, and narcissism with social network activity and self-image representation. In the current study, we examined the relationship between the characteristics of self-presentation on a social network (realistic demonstrative self and fake deceiving self) with the Big Five and the Dark Triad traits. The characteristics of self-presentation and personality traits were assessed on a sample of 478 undergraduate students. Generally, a realistic demonstrative self is associated with the desire to show the best side of self (self-monitoring), avoidance of self-discussion, while a fake deceiving self reveals connections focusing on others' reactions to self-presentation. Consciousness, neuroticism, openness, and narcissism are predictors for realistic, demonstrative self-presentation, and conscientiousness and Machiavellianism are predictors for false, deceptive self-presentation. Thus, realistic demonstrative self-presentation is associated with controlling the information posted in the network and the desire to arouse admiration, and false self-presentation manifesting as a purposeful strategy for creating an unrealistic image.

“Nuevos” hombres para el siglo XXI. algunas reflexiones sobre el ubersexual y su imagen en la cultura mediática
Authors: Sánchez López Juan Antonio
Published: May 2021

A nadie escapa que vivimos un momento de hondas transformaciones desde la perspectiva de género que insta a hombres y mujeres a redefinir e, incluso, a proponer nuevas construcciones de género que no descartan, incluso, la subversión misma del género. Si es mucho lo estudiado, analizado, expuesto, hablado y proclamado –militancias aparte- en torno a la imagen de la mujer, de ayer y de hoy, y sus circunstancias, no es menos cierto que, en el momento presente, quizás sea el hombre el gran protagonista de tales procesos culturales, sociológicos e ideológicos que, como no podía ser menos, también se proyectan sobre el mundo de las imágenes y el universo infinito de la cultura visual generada por, desde y para los mass-media.

El presente artículo pretende reflejar cómo la gran diversidad del alumnado que presentan hoy las aulas universitarias españolas requieren del profesorado nuevas respuestas organizativas y metodológicas. Además de la gran riqueza que otorga esta diversidad descrita, se contempla también el desarrollo de una serie de dificultades en los estudiantes en habilidades básicas e instrumentales, no resueltas en etapas educativas anteriores, y que el profesorado universitario se encuentra ante sí. Se descubren mayores dificultades en habilidades lectoescritoras, un elevado índice de niveles de ansiedad, o más problemas a la hora del trabajo en equipo, cuestiones que se incorporan a las tareas del docente universitario hoy. Como respuesta a estos planteamientos, presentamos un proyecto de investigación basado en el estudio de distintos factores que influyen en el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje, para detectar y abordar los problemas mencionados, proponiendo la tutoría personal en la Universidad como cauce adecuado para la puesta en práctica de este proyecto.
HIPPIES’ SOCIAL THREATS AND SOLUTIONS POTRAYED IN THE FILM BAD TIMES AT EL ROYALE
Authors: Sofian Ela Sofiarti , Setiarini Ni Luh Putu
Published: May 2021

As an art, literature and film offer ways of seeing and feeling new things without having to experience them ourselves. They can also function in society as a means of both criticizing and affirming cultural values, as well as describing historical events throughout the years. Thus, this study aims to explore representations of social threats posed by the hippies toward American society in the late 1960s as depicted in the film ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’. Besides, this study also aims to investigate the solutions performed by the rest of the American population in overcoming the threats as demonstrated in the film. The data of this study are the utterances and scenes reflecting the social threats and solutions portrayed in this film. The method of this study was qualitative methods. Results show that the social threats posed by the hippies are determined through the contrast between the American values and the hippie values as depicted in the film, while the solutions are interpreted based on what actually happened according to history.

Published: May 2021

Purpose: This study aims to prove empirically the influence of ethics, experience, and competence on auditors’ professional skepticism. Research Methodology: In testing the hypotheses, 63 auditors at BPKP Representative of Lampung Province took part in responding to the questionnaires distributed. The criteria for auditors sampled: 1). Auditors who are directly involved in the assignment, especially in the process of collecting and testing audit evidence, like audit team members, audit team leaders, audit supervisors and audit quality control, and 2). Auditors who are experienced in auditing for at least one year. Partial Least Square analysis method was used and processed with SmartPLS version 3.0 software and Microsoft office excel 2007 program. Results: As hypothesized, the results revealed that ethics, experience, and competence had a positive influence on auditor professional skepticism. Discussion, limitations, and recommendations for future research are discussed. Limitations: This research is limited only to the government auditors working at BPKP Representative of Lampung Province so that the research result can not be generalized to the auditor as a whole. The auditor's tight schedule caused the returning time of questionnaires to shift from the set timeline previously. The use of questionnaires also was the last limation in terms of inaccurate answers, dishonest answers, and missinterpreted questions. Contribution: This study is beneficial for BPKP Representative of Lampung in improving auditors' professional skepticism, as well as one of literature resources for conducting further studies.

Hemisomatic Central Sensitivity Pain Disorder (“Hemi-fibromyalgia
Syndrome”)
Authors: Pappolla Miguel
Published: May 2021

Background: We describe a poorly recognized
central sensitivity pain disorder (CSPD) presenting
with moderate to severe chronic hemisomatic
pain (limited to half of the body). In 7 patients,
the syndrome developed spontaneously and
masqueraded as common spinal or arthritic
disorders, but none of these patients responded
to standard therapies for the disorders they resembled.
A key feature in the patients was the
presence of hemisomatic myofascial tenderness
reminiscent of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), but
it was only present on half of the body. However,
most patients did not meet current diagnostic
criteria for FMS.
Objective: To describe a new (or poorly recognized)
clinical entity characterized by chronic
hemisomatic pain.
Study Design: An observational study and case
series.
Observations: Seven patients exhibiting unilateral
hemisomatic pain affecting the trunk and
upper and lower extremities were identified at
a subspecialty pain medicine clinic from 2013
to 2016. The pain was moderate to severe in 6
patients and mild to moderate in one patient. In
contrast to FMS, the patients had minimal psychological
comorbidities and low indexes for somatic
complaints.
Conclusions: Despite its relatively high frequency,
neurologists and pain specialists are unfamiliar
with this syndrome of chronic hemisomatic pain.
This entity appears to represent a CSPD of cryptic
etiology rather than a somatoform or psychiatric
condition. Although most of these patients had
previously been evaluated at academic centers
by different specialists, they frequently underwent
invasive interventions which were not efficacious.
Diagnostic criteria for its identification are proposed
in this paper.

Biologics for Lumbar Discogenic Pain: 18 Month Follow-up for
Safety and Efficacy
Authors: Wei Jason
Published: May 2021

The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate
safety and effectiveness of platelet rich plasma
(PRP) and bone marrow concentrate (BMC)
injections in the lumbar intervertebral disc. The
secondary objective is to evaluate utilization of
health care services, hospitalization and spine
surgery. A total of 20 patients with chronic (> 6
months) discogenic low back pain who received
intradiscal injection of either PRP or BMC were
followed in this study with data on pain (Verbal
Pain Scale, VPS) and function (SF-36) collected
at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months post-injection. Additional
assessments included utilization of medications,
health care services, hospitalization, and
spine surgery. Of the 20 patients, 18 remained
at 6 months and 15 remained at 18 months. Of
those who remained, more than 50% relief in VPS
was noted in 94% of patients at 6 months, and in
93% of patients at 18 months. An improvement
in SF-36s physical component summary (PCS)
was noted in 100% of patients at 6 months, and
in 93% of patients at 18 months. There were no
reported side effects or adverse reactions noted
from the injections. Medication use decreased in
89% of patients at 6 months and in 80% of patients
at 18 months. None of the patients presented to
the emergency room, were hospitalized, or underwent
surgery for the spinal area treated with
the injection. This study supports the safety of a
single intradiscal biologic injection and provides
additional evidence for its efficacy in management
of lumbar discogenic pain, with improvements in
both pain and function, and decreased utilization
of medications and medical services thereby decreasing
health care costs.

Characterization of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in Algeria
Authors: LAALA Samia , CESBRON Sophie , KERKOUD Mohamed , VALENTINI Franco , BOUZNAD Zouaoui , JACQUES Marie-Agnès , MANCEAU Charles
Published: May 2021

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) causes the black rot of cruciferous plants. This seed-borne bacterium is considered as the most destructive disease to cruciferous crops. Although sources of contamination are various, seeds are the main source of transmission. Typical symptoms of black rot were first observed in 2011 on cabbage and cauliflower fields in the main production areas of Algeria. Leaf samples displaying typical symptoms were collected during 2011 to 2014, and 170 strains were isolated from 45 commercial fields. Xcc isolates were very homogeneous in morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics similar to reference strains, and gave positive pathogenicity and molecular test results (multiplex PCR with specific primers). This is the first record of Xcc in Algeria. Genetic diversity within the isolates was assessed in comparison with strains isolated elsewhere. A multilocus sequence analysis based on two housekeeping genes (gyrB and rpoD) was carried out on 77 strains representative isolates. The isolates grouped into 20 haplotypes defined with 68 polymorphic sites. The phylogenetic tree obtained showed that Xcc is in two groups, and all Algerian strains clustered in group 1 in three subgroups. No relationships were detected between haplotypes and the origins of the seed lots, the varieties of host cabbage, the years of isolation and agroclimatic regions.
Infection of papaya (Carica papaya) by four powdery mildew fungi
Authors: SERESS Diána , KOVÁCS Gábor M. , MOLNÁR Orsolya , NÉMETH Márk Z.
Published: May 2021

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is an important fruit crop in many tropical and subtropical countries. Powdery mildew commonly affects this host, causing premature leaf loss, reduced yields and poor fruit quality. At least fifteen different fungi have been identified as the causal agents of papaya powdery mildew. Powdery mildew symptoms were detected on potted papaya plants growing in two locations in Hungary. This study aimed to identify the causal agents. Morphology of powdery mildew samples was examined, and sequences of two loci were used for molecular taxonomic identifications. Only anamophs were detected in all samples, and four morphological types were distinguished. Most samples had Pseudoidium anamorphs, while some were of the Fibroidium anamorph. Based on morphology and molecular taxonomy, the Fibroidium anamorph  was identified as Podosphaera xanthii. The Pseudoidium anamorphs corresponded to three different Erysiphe species: E. cruciferarum, E. necator and an unidentified Erysiphe sp., for which molecular phylogenetic analyses showed it belonged to an unresolved species complex of E. malvae, E. heraclei and E. betae. Infectivity of P. xanthii and E. necator on papaya was verified with cross inoculations. A review of previous records of powdery mildew fungi infecting papaya is also provided. Podosphaera xanthii was known to infect, and E. cruciferarum was suspected to infect Carica papaya, while E. necator was recorded on this host only once previously. No powdery mildew fungus belonging to the E. malvae/E. heraclei/E. betae species complex is known to infect papaya or any other plants in the Caricaceae, so the unidentified Erysiphe sp. is a new record on papaya and the Caricaceae. This study indicates host range expansion of this powdery mildew fungus onto papaya.
Detection and phylogeny of viruses in native Albanian olive varieties
Authors: ELBEAINO Toufic , CARA Magdalena , SHAHINI Shpend , PANDELI Pasko
Published: May 2021

Forty samples representing 14 native Albanian and two foreign olive varieties were collected from an olive varietal collection plot in the Valias region (Tirana, Albania). The samples were assayed by RT-PCR for presence of olive-infecting viruses, including arabis mosaic virus (ArMV), cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), olive latent ringspot virus (OLRSV), olive latent virus 1 (OLV-1), olive leaf yellowing-associated virus (OLYaV), strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRSV) and by PCR for the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). Ninety-eight percent of the samples were infected with at least one virus. OLYaV was the most prevalent (85% of samples), followed by OLV-1 (50%), OLRSV (48%), CMV (28%), SLRSV (3%) and CLRV (5%), whereas ArMV and Xf were absent. Fifty-five percent of the samples were infected with one virus, 13% with two viruses, 20% with three, and 5% with four. Analyses of the nucleotide sequences of the Albanian virus isolates generally showed low genetic variability, and that most were phylogenetically related to Mediterranean isolates, in particular to those from Greece and Italy. Five olive trees, representing three native cultivars (‘Managiel’, ‘Kalinjot’ and ‘Kushan-Preze’) and one foreign (‘Leccino’), were found to be plants of the Conformitas Agraria Communitatis (“CAC”) category i.e. free of ArMV, CLRV, SLRSV and OLYaV. Only one tree of the native cultivar ‘Ulliri i kuq’ was free of all tested viruses, so this is plant material of the “Virus-tested” category. Olives derived from both categories could be used for propagation of standard quality plant materiel in a future certification programme for olive in Albania. This is the first report of CLRV, OLRSV, CMV and OLV-1 in Albania. The study also reveals the precarious health status of native olive varieties in the Valias varietal collection plot. However, the discovery of six plants representing two certifiable categories is a first step in a future olive tree certification program in the country.

Published: May 2021

Verticillium wilt (caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb.) is an important disease affecting olive (Olea europaea L.) production. Effective control of this disease relies on integrated management strategies. In vitro antifungal activity of two hydroxytyrosol (HTyr) enriched extracts (HTE1 and HTE2) obtained from olive mill waste products (OMWP) was assessed against V. dahliae. Inhibitory effects of pure HTyr as a standard, and HTE1 and HTE2 at different concentrations, were evaluated on mycelium growth and conidium germination of V. dahliae. Chemical characterization of HTE1 and HTE2 allowed identification and quantification of HTyr as the main constituent in both extracts along with other low molecular weight phenols. HTE1 showed a higher inhibitory activity in both growth and conidium germination of V. dahliae. At the tested concentrations, low antifungal effects of HTyr were observed. After 3 d, 1 mg mL-1 of HTE1 gave greater inhibition of mycelium growth than HTE2 or HTyr. After 24 h, HTE1 gave 55% inhibition of conidium germination, and HTyr and HTE2 both gave 37% inhibition. This study has demonstrated that phenolic compounds derived from OMWP have antifungal activity against V. dahliae, indicating the potential of these compounds for eco-friendly control of Verticillium wilt.

Authors: Akinbobola A. , Fafure T
Published: May 2021

This study seeks to assess the land use land cover (LULC) and spatial-temporal trends of six outdoor thermal comfort indices in four Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ogun state, Southwestern, Nigeria. Data used for this study are air temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover and wind speed which span from 1982 to 2018. These data were obtained from ERA-INTERIM archive. The 1986, 2000 and 2018 used for the analysis of the LULC were from the satellite imagery hosted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Landsat Thematic Mapper, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager data of 1986, 2000 and 2018 to assess the changes that have taken place between these periods. Thermal comfort indices such as Effective Temperature (ET), Temperature Humidity Index (THI), Mean radiant temperature (MRT) and Relative Strain Index (RSI) were used. Rayman model was used for the computation of the three thermal comfort indices (MRT, PET, PMV). The results show decrease in vegetation, forest, and an increase in percentage of built-up areas between 1986–2000, and 2000–2018. A rapid increase in built-up areas in the three (Abeokuta South, Ifo, Shagamu,) of the four LGAs, while one (Ijebu East) has a slow increase in the built-up areas. The trend in the thermal comfort indices also shows that thermal discomfort had been on increase for the past 37 years and it was observed that the level of comfort has deteriorated more in the last decade compared to the previous decade especially in the built-up areas. This work suggests a framework for evaluating the relationship between the quantitative and qualitative parameters linking the microclimatic environment with subjective thermal assessment. This will contribute to the development of thermal comfort standards for outdoor urban settings. Also, the study will help urban planners in their decision making, and in heat forecast.

OBJETIVO: Identificar os impactos gerados pela pandemia na saúde mental dos profissionais enfermeiros. MÉTODO: Revisão sistemática com metassí­ntese, onde foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados Google acadêmico e a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS/SCIELO). Foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde Burnout, esgotamento profissional, pandemia e COVID-19, fazendo uso do operador booleano AND. RESULTADOS: Após a realização da busca nas bases de dados mencionadas com os descritores elencados, foram encontrados 29 estudos. A posteriori foram aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão resultando em uma amostra final de 10 estudos. CONCLUSíO: Cargas horárias exaustivas, más condições de trabalho, deficiência no dimensionamento de pessoal, poucos recursos materiais, desvalorização e baixa remuneração. Esses fatores, associados ao medo de transmitir a doença para familiares e amigos, o isolamento social e outros aumentam o risco de desenvolvimento de problemas psicológicos causando efeitos deletérios í  saúde mental.

Objetiva-se: Analisar/descrever percepções de portadores de Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) sobre hemodiálise. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura, com coleta de artigos da base de dados PUBMED durante os dias 09 a 16 de setembro de 2020. Foram analisados 11 artigos, as informações organizadas nas categorias: aspectos fí­sicos versus qualidade de vida; perspectiva de vida; percepção fí­sica e suas implicações. Resultado: relativo a aspectos fí­sicos versus qualidade de vida, o paciente com DRC vê-se afetado por aspectos fí­sicos como edema, perda de independência e autonomia nas atividades laborais devido os sintomas. Quanto a perspectiva de vida, observou-se a DRC como limitante ao conví­vio social e sentença de morte, porém, surgiu como postergadora deste acontecimento. Relativo a percepção fí­sica e suas implicações, as mulheres preocupam-se mais com as alterações fí­sicas/estéticas, enquanto os homens preocupam-se com as mudanças de papéis. Conclusão: indica-se o desenvolvimento de intervenções para melhorar o conhecimento sobre a doença.

CINDERELLA COMPLEX: A META-ANALYTIC REVIEW
Authors: Jeslin Babu Joseph  , Sanjaly Jayesh  , Sannet Thomas
Published: May 2021

Women’s dependency has been a widely debated topic all over the world. A woman is always expected to do only what is appropriate in contemporary society since infancy, and they are not prepared for independence or self-sufficiency from the moment they are born. The idea of female dependency began to cause confusion and discontent among the ‘new independent women’. The fear of being independent then termed as the Cinderella Complex. Cinderella Complex refers to the fear of being independent, causes unconscious desire to be taken care of by others (C. Dowling, 1981). Here the investigator planned to go through the studies conducted in India as well as outside to have a deep understanding on the concept of Cinderella Complex, its dimensions, method of study, related concepts, implications etc. The investigators used meta-analysis as the method for approaching the problem. Six studies which met the inclusion criteria were selected for this study. Findings of the study show that it is interpreted that women having high scores in Cinderella Complex are bound to show negative motivation towards personal growth. Furthermore, an interventional approach is being developed to motivate and train young women towards personal growth.

Exploring the Relationship Between Personality Traits and Superstitious Beliefs
Authors: Anyaegbunam Michael C. , Omonijo Dare Ojo , Ogunwa Chibuike Emmanuel
Published: May 2021

In Nigeria, almost every tribe has several superstitious beliefs which, tend to affect their day to day behavior. The current work investigated the relationship of such beliefs with personality traits in the southeast geopolitical zone of the country [specifically Igbo land]. The researchers used the Big 5 personality Inventory (BFPI) and the Igbo Culture Superstitious Belief Scale. The internal consistency reliability of the ICSBS ranged from .30 to .67. A total of 250 participants [94 males and 156 females, between 25 and 53 years, with the mean age of 36.99 and standard deviation 5.89] participated in the study.  Multiple regression analysis was adopted. From the above result, openness to experience (Beta = .484, t=8.15, p<.05=.00) and Neuroticism (Beta = .391, t=6.36, p<.05=.00) had a significant correlation with superstitious belief, while Extraversion (Beta = .072, t=1.51, p<.05=.13), Agreeableness (Beta = .997, t=.98, p<.05=.33) and Conscientiousness (Beta = -.078, t=-1.60p<.05=.11).   This implies that only Neuroticism and Openness to Experience had significant relationship with superstitious beliefs. It was therefore recommended that further research be conducted to better understand the unique characteristics of the Igbo people.

In this paper, we consider a new uniformly generalized Kannan type semigroup of self-mappings deﬁned on a closed convex subset of a real Banach space equipped with uniform normal structure and employ the same to show that such semigroup of self-mappings admits a common ﬁxed point provided the underlying semigroup of self-mappings has a bounded orbit.
