ORNAMENTAL ARBOREAL PLANTS IN SETTLEMENTS OF THE SOUTH-EASTERN CRIMEA (ON THE EXAMPLE OF MALORECHENSKOYE AND RYBACHYE SETTLEMENTS)
Authors: Potapenko I. L. , Klymenko N. I. , Letukhova V. Yu.
Published: December 2021

The results of research of green areas in localities Malorechenskoye and Rybachye (South-Eastern Crimea) are presented. Large-scale landscaping of the studied territory was carried out in the 60-80-ies of the XX century. Modern structure of green spaces is typical for coastal settlements – basically, these are parks of recreational complexes, with high concentration of diversity of trees and shrubs species. A historical park (the oldest one) in the South-Eastern Crimea (late 50s – early 60s of the XIXth century) is also located in Malorechenskoye. The researches made taxonomic, botanical-geographical and biomorphological analysis of dendroflora. The frequency of occurrence of species, the condition of plants, as well as the degree of their drought and frost were assessed. The studied dendroflora includes 106 species belonging to 75 genera from 43 families. The species diversity of trees and shrubs in Rybachye is higher than in Malorechenskoye (89 and 67, respectively). At the same time, 13 species are widely distributed in both settlements, the most numerous of which is Cupressus sempervirens. It was revealed that species of the Mediterranean floristic region predominate (31.1 %), and representatives of native Crimean flora take a significant place (34.9 %). The leading position in the biomorphological structure of the dendroflora belongs to deciduous trees (25.5 %), followed by deciduous and evergreen deciduous shrubs (19.8 % each), and coniferous trees (17.0 %). The species diversity of deciduous shrubs and coniferous trees is significantly higher in Rybachye than in Malorechenskoye. Most plants are adapted to local climatic conditions: 57.5 % of species are not damaged by drought, the rest suffer from it in different degrees; 78.3% of species are frost-resistant, others are periodically damaged by low temperatures and need better protected from frost and cold winds planting sites. The absolute majority of species (95.3 %) are in good condition. Plants Aesculus hippocastanum, Buxus balearica, B. sempervirens, Euonimus japonica are more or less affected by pests and diseases. Special attention should be paid to the preserve the historical park in Malorechenskoye and to give it a protected status.
Efficacy of Essential Oils from Ocimum kenyense as a Biopesticide against Aphis gosypii, Thrips tabaci and Bemisia tabaci.
Authors: Njuguna Mwaura James , Hutchins Mary Muriuki , Karenga Samuel
Published: December 2021

Natural sources of biopesticides such as plants and microorganisms are widely employed for pest management globally. Over the last five decades, the use of biopesticides has been explored as a safer alternative to synthetic pesticides. This study determined the repellence and contact toxicity of essential oils from Ocimum kenyense plant against Thrips tabaci, Bemisia tabaci, and Aphis gosypii. The essential oils (Eos) were extracted from dry leaves by hydrodistillation using the Clevenger apparatus for 8 hours. The composition of essential oils was qualitatively and quantitatively analysed using GC-MS, while ATR-FTIR was used to determine the functional groups. The major compound ion in the Eos was 1,8-Cionele while the major phytochemical identified was Eucalyptol Bioassay of the crude extracts were carried out on T. tabaci, B. tabaci, and A. gosypii. Contact toxicity and repellency tests against mixed-sex adult pests were carried out on T. tabaci, B. tabaci, and A. gosypii. In contact toxicity, five different concentrations were prepared and each was replicated five times. Acetone was used as a negative control, while permethrin, a commercial chemical pesticide was used as a positive control. The LD50 of the essential oils was determined by Probit analysis SPSS version 26.0. The response to the treatments was observed after 24 hours by using a blunt object probing and the pests that did not respond were counted as dead. It was found that essential oils from O. kenyense had the lowest LD50 of 0.127 µL against A. gosypii. This implies that O. kenyense can be used as a contact toxicant against A. gosypii. Repellency tests were carried out at four different concentrations. N, N-Diethyltoluamide (DEET) repellent from a commercial mosquito repellent was used to compare the effectiveness of the essential oils against commercial repellents. The repellency test responses were observed after 1 hour and the data was used to determine the correlation between different levels of concentration of Eos and percentage repellency of Eos of O. kenyense leaves carried out at α=0.05. There was a high correlation of 1.000 between the increase in concentration of Eos and repellency against A. gosypii, T. tabaci and B. tabaci. The results were statistically significant and (P<0.05, α=0.05). Therefore, essential oils from O. kenyense can be used as a contact toxicant biopesticide against A. gosypii and a repellent biopesticide against A. gosypii, T. tabaci and B. tabaci.

Published: December 2021

Adherence to the schedule is of prime importance in public transport. This paper presents a specific application of the Gini coefficient, well known indicator in economics, for the headway adherence assessment. The paper shows that Lorenz curve, which is usually used to define mathematically the Gini coefficient, is a good indicator of the users' waiting time when it is based on the bus schedule. When it is computed on the basis of the ratio of observed headway to the schedule, it is a powerful visual tool that can be used by operators to detect the existence of irregularities on a bus line at a glance. An equation gives, in an idealistic case, the impact of any single traffic disturbance on the Gini coefficient, making this coefficient comprehensive. A detailed analysis is developed, based on the bus proportions according to the headway adherence level. These proportions are obtained from new indices coming from the derivative of the Lorenz curve. The values of these indexes alert the operator of any adherence disturbance. The examination of the Lorenz curve takes more time, but is worthwhile, giving the types of the irregularities The application of these indicators is carried on real-time data from the New Delhi bus network.

The major part of fire deaths, fire injures and also the largest direct material loss from fires corresponds to the group of object “residential buildings and structures, outbuildings”.
Right for the wrong reason; wrong for the right reason: Gibson and Arnheim on picture perception
Authors: Verstegen Ian
Published: December 2021

Although J J Gibson’s theory of picture perception was often crude and biased toward naturalism, its fundamental division between the visual world and the visual field made it a semiotic theory. Contrariwise, although Arnheim wrote sensitively on pictures, he never seemed to admit that they were signs. This paper reviews both Gibson’s and Arnheim’s theories of picture perception, and explains where Arnheim’s biases caused him to lose the possibility of framing his approach in the most basic semiotic terms. Nevertheless, using the phenomenological semiotics of Sonesson and his theory of the Lifeworld Hierarchy, I demonstrate latent semiotic elements in Arnheim’s theory, due perhaps to Alfred Schutz’s influence. Hoping to argue against the brute theory of denotation, Arnheim instead sought to delay invocation of (conventional) signs as long as possible, and his idea of iconic pictorialization assumes but does not name signification. Nevertheless, I propose that Arnheim has a kind of theory of the Lifeworld Hierarchy inside the picture. Thus, he (wrongly) does not see the picture as overtly signifying but interestingly gives hints about how to treat the objects of the virtual world of the picture based on their relationship to the overall style of the work.

Prognostic value of the maximum standardized uptake value for the locoregional control in early glottic cancer
Authors: Kim Donghyun , Ki Yongkan , Joo Jihyeon , Jeon Hosang , Park Dahl , Nam Jiho , Kim Wontaek
Published: December 2021

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of the pretreatment maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for locoregional control (LRC) of early glottic cancer treated with primary radiotherapy.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 101 patients with T1-T2N0 glottic cancer treated with helical tomotherapy between 2013 and 2016. The clinical T-stages were T1 in 87 (86.1%) and T2 in 14 (13.9%) patients. The median total dose was 63 Gy (63–67.5 Gy) in 2.25 Gy per fraction. The survival outcomes were plotted using Kaplan-Meier curves. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the optimal SUVmax cut-off value for predicting locoregional recurrence.Results: The median follow-up period was 58 months (range, 11 to 90 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence-free survival rates were 96.8% and 85.4%, respectively. The median pretreatment SUVmax of the primary tumor for all 101 patients was 2.3 (range, 1.1 to 9.1). The best cut-off value for SUVmax for predicting LRC was 3.3, with a sensitivity of 78.6% and specificity of 73.6%. Univariate analysis showed that T-stage, overall treatment time (≥43 days), and high SUVmax (≥3.3) were significant predictors of LRC. Multivariate analysis showed that LRC was independently affected by a high SUVmax (≥3.3) (hazard ratio = 5.505, p = 0.020).Conclusion: High pretreatment SUVmax (≥3.3) is a negative prognostic factor for LRC in early glottic cancer patients treated with primary radiotherapy.
Distribution of vascular plants north of Lake Baikal: a new, open access dataset
Authors: Sandanov Denis , Brianskaia Elena , Batotsyrenov Eduard
Published: December 2021

The area north of Lake Baikal has been poorly studied. Moreover, most of the studies conducted in this region were focused on mountain ridges or river valleys. This region includes a part of Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), a broad-gauge railway in the centre of Siberia, Russia. The railway is an alternative route of the Trans-Siberian Railway; BAM starts in southern Siberia (Taishet station of Irktusk Oblast), passes through the northern part of Lake Baikal and finishes in the Russian Far East (Sovetskaya Gavan station of Khabarovsky Krai). BAM has four connections with the Trans-Siberian Railway and is the centre of economic development for many regions of Russia. Maya Ivanova and Alexandr Chepurnov summarised the existing floristic information for this region in detailed species distribution maps which they published in the book “Flora of the western part of developing regions of Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM)” (1983). After publishing this book, very few floristic studies have been performed in the study region. All available botanical information is still accumulated in a number of printed papers or books with limited circulation, which are not widely known to the international scientific community.

We have digitised the point distribution maps from the book of Ivanova and Chepurnov and georeferenced all occurrence and sampling localities. The resulting dataset includes 9972 occurrences for 770 vascular plant species and subspecies from the area north of Lake Baikal. Additionally, the dataset includes information on the distribution of 43 rare and endangered species with 366 occurrences. From our point of view, the dataset makes a contribution to the global biodiversity data mobilisation, providing plant species distribution data for such a remote mountainous area.
Establishing the nutritional landscape and macronutrient preferences of a major United States rangeland pest, Melanoplus sanguinipes, in field and lab populations
Authors: Zembrzuski Deanna , Woller Derek A. , Jech Larry , Black Lonnie R. , Reuter K. Chris , Overson Rick , Cease Arianne
Published: December 2021

When given a choice, most animals will self-select an optimal blend of nutrients that maximizes growth and reproduction (termed “intake target” or IT). For example, several grasshopper and locust species select a carbohydrate-biased IT, consuming up to double the amount of carbohydrate relative to protein, thereby increasing growth, survival, and migratory capacity. ITs are not static, and there is some evidence they can change through ontogeny, with activity, and in response to environmental factors. However, little research has investigated how these factors influence the relative need for different nutrients and how subsequent shifts in ITs affect the capacity of animals to acquire an optimal diet in nature. In this study, we determined the ITs of 5th instar (final juvenile stage) Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabricius, 1798), a prevalent crop and rangeland grasshopper pest in the United States, using two wild populations and one lab colony. We simultaneously collected host plants to determine the nutritional landscapes available to the wild populations and measured the performance of the lab colony on restricted diets. Overall, we found that the diet of the wild populations was more carbohydrate-biased than their lab counterparts, as has been found in other grasshopper species, and that their ITs closely matched their nutritional landscape. However, we also found that M. sanguinipes had the lowest performance metrics when feeding on the highest carbohydrate diets, whereas more balanced diets or protein-rich diets had higher performance metrics. This research may open avenues for studying how management strategies coincide with nutritional physiology to develop low-dose treatments specific to the nutritional landscape for the pest of interest.
Discovering insect species based on photographs only: The case of a nameless species of the genus Scaria (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae)
Authors: Kasalo Niko , Deranja Maks , Adžić Karmela , Sindaco Roberto , Skejo Josip
Published: December 2021

A heated debate on whether a new species should be described without a physical specimen, i.e., by designating a photographed specimen to serve as a holotype, has been ongoing for a long time. Herewith, without nomenclatural actions, a new species of the Batrachidein pygmy grasshoppers belonging to the genus Scaria Bolívar, 1887 is identified from the Andean rainforest in Peru. This species is clearly different from all its congeners by morphology and coloration. Two individuals of this peculiar species are known only from the photographs found on iNaturalist. The species has not been observed since 2008 when the photographs were taken. A short historical overview of the topic is given, illustrating the pros and cons of photograph-based species description. The concepts of names, holotypes, research effort, and conservation are discussed and related to the problem at hand. The current state of the taxonomic community’s beliefs regarding this issue is reflected by the authors’ three unsuccessful attempts to name this new species.

Published: December 2021

O artigo objetivou compreender como a mediação de conflito familiar é investigada na literatura científica brasileira, por meio de uma revisão integrativa na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), no período de 2010 a 2020. Foram analisadas 16 dissertações e 09 teses. A maioria, advinda de Programas de Pós-Graduação em Direito (n = 10) e Psicologia (n = 5), oriundos de instituições do estado de São Paulo (n=8) e publicadas nos anos de 2013, 2016 e 2017 (n =4 em cada ano). Treze estudos eram empíricos e 12 teóricos e, dentre os estudos empíricos, todos eram qualitativos. Quatro categorias de análise foram identificadas: a) a função da mediação de conflito familiar; b) o estudo interdisciplinar da mediação familiar de conflito; c) a aplicação da mediação a diferentes demandas; e d) a avaliação de programas de mediação de conflito familiar. Trata-se, sem dúvida, de um campo bastante profícuo e ao qual a Psicologia tem muito a contribuir, em especial pela compreensão sistêmica dos conflitos familiares, a qual considera a sua dimensão intersubjetiva, relacional e complexa.
Ideating African Indigenous Knowledge Systems for Africa’s Participation in the 4IR: From Content Framework to Process Formation
Authors: Oyekunle A.A.
Published: December 2021

With its envisioned benefits of increased productivity, enhanced decision making with digital-based tools, qualitative and efficient processes, improved life expectancy rate, etc., the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is a desideratum for contemporary society. The need to prioritize skills and knowledge needed for the participation of Africa in the 4IR thus becomes imperative. This paper argues for indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) as a possible approach to enhance African participation in the 4IR. Consequently, the paper examines the methodical perspectives that would be appropriate for framing African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (AIKS) as a tool for advancing science and technology. It argues for the process form of ideating IKS against the content forms implicit in the various views on IKS. It is concluded that the process form of ideating IKS – which essentially focuses on the critical analysis of the systematic formations and development of IKS – unearths the epistemological basis for scientific postulations and technological advancement in Africa.
Gender and Humanoid Robots: A Somaesthetic Analysis
Authors: Botha Catherine F.
Published: December 2021

I discuss in this paper how robotic scientists tend to produce replicas of human bodies that are consistent with their own cultural norms by exploring how gender is embodied in humanoid robots. My focus is specifically on care robots, and their reception in the African context. I argue that since the bodies of the robotic scientists are the reference points according to which they design and manufacture robots, a somaesthetics of robotics can best reveal and challenge how gendered norms are materialised in these machines.

Background: Nicotine has been widely reported to generate free radicals in several organs of the body. Therefore, this study investigated the ameliorative potentials of Quercetin on selected reproductive biomarkers in female Wistar rats.Methods: Forty female rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=8) which were treated as follows: Group I (CN) received normal saline (1 ml/kg bwt); Group II (LN) received nicotine (0.5 mg/kg bwt) only; Group III (HN) received nicotine (1.0 mg/kg bwt) only; however, Groups IV (LNA) and V (HNA) received 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg of nicotine with 20 mg/kg of quercetin respectively. All administration were done orally and lasted 28 days. Results: Nicotine significant reduction in the bioavailability of estrogen and progesterone in the treated rats when compared to control. Furthermore, relative to the control group, nicotine administration resulted in significant elevation in MDAand consequently caused significant reduction in the antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) activities. However, quercetin treatment ameliorated these alterations. Conclusion: Quercetin dampens the reproductive distruptive effects exerted by nicotine through anti-oxidative mechanism in female Wistar rats.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: To systematically study and predict the therapeutic targets and signaling pathways of Hippocampus (HPC) against chronic kidney disease (CKD) using network pharmacology.Methods: By combining database mining, literature searching, screening of disease targets, and network construction, the effects of various components of HPC on several proteins related to CKD were predicted and the active compounds were screened. Genes related to the selected compounds were linked using the SEA database. The correlation between CKD and genes was determined using OMIM, DisGenNet, and GeneCards databases. Pathway-enrichment analyses of overlapping genes were undertaken using online databases.Results: A total of 144 compounds in HPC were identified. Analyses of clusters suggest that the active components of HPC and the target genes against the inflammation caused by CKD were due to 10 compounds and 25 genes. Metascape results showed that these HPC targets are related to CKD inflammation.Conclusion: The active components of HPC and the target genes against CKD inflammation are involved in multiple signaling pathways, such as AGE-RAGE, TLR, TNF, and NF-κB. This work provides scientific evidence to support the clinical use of HPC against CKD.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: To assess the prevalence and predictors of seizures in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at a Saudi tertiary hospital.Methods: A retrospective, matched case-control study was conducted using the electronic medical records of patients with AD who had an unprovoked seizure, from October 2015 to May 2018.Results: Nineteen cases and 195 controls were identified. Statistically significant risk factors for an unprovoked seizure in patients diagnosed with AD were hypertension (p = 0.001), autoimmune disease, stroke and TIA (p = 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified hypertension (OR = 2.89; p = 0.009) and autoimmune disease (OR = 19.6; p = 0.045) as predictors of unprovoked seizure in AD patients.Conclusion: The occurrence of unprovoked seizures is more likely in severe cases of AD. In addition, the risk of seizure in patients with AD increases with two co-morbid conditions, hypertension, and autoimmune disease. However, further studies are required to determine the underlying mechanism of the association between the two risk factors and AD.

Purpose: To study the impact of the combination of capecitabine and irinotecan on the safety of colon cancer treatment, adverse reactions and wellbeing of patients.Methods: Colon cancer subjects (n =120) admitted to Guangzhou First People’s Hospital, Guangzhou, China were assigned equally to two groups (A and B) according to their order of admission, and they received intravenous infusion of irinotecan. In addition, group A patients were administered capecitabine, but those in B group were given tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil porassium. The patients in groups A and B were compared with respect to the incidence of unwanted effects, quality of life (QoL), and overall clinical efficacy of the treatments.Results: Cases of nausea and vomiting, delayed diarrhea and sensory neuropathy of the patients were significantly reduced in group A, relative to group B. Moreover, QoL score after treatment was markedly higher in group A than in group B, while the objective response rate (ORR) of colon cancer patients in group A was also significantly higher than that in group B (p < 0.05). However, no obvious difference in disease control rate (DCR) was observed between groups A and B (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Combined capecitabine and irinotecan therapy effectively improves clinical prognosis, reduces the incidence of adverse reactions, and is safe in colon cancer patients. Therefore, the combined treatment may be beneficial in the management of colon cancer.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: To investigate the effect of α-keto acid tablets, and risk factors for cardiovascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods: A total of 128 CKD patients were enrolled in this study. They were randomly assigned to study and control groups, each with 64 patients. Control patients received symptomatic treatment, while the study group patients received α-keto acid tablets plus. Indices of cardiovascular calcification, blood lipids and mineral metabolism were determined in the 2 groups of patients and compared. Risk factors for cardiovascular calcification were also analyzed.Results: After treatment, the two groups had decreased CACS scores and reduced serum FGF-23levels, with lower values in patients in the study group. Levels of Klotho and fetuin-A were significantly elevated after treatment, with higher values observed in study group patients. The degree of cardiovascular calcification was markedly lower in study group than that in controls. There was no significant difference in blood Ca level between the control and study groups before and after treatment. Logistic multivariate analysis demonstrated that hyperlipidemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, hypertension and diabetes put patients at risk for cardiovascular calcification.Conclusion: Compound α-keto acid tablets delay cardiovascular calcification in patients with CKD, and alleviate symptoms of related risk factors for cardiovascular calcification.
