Authors: Schiffbauer Vivien , Pelli Anna , Tommasa Simone Della , Ulrich Reiner , Reinert Anja , Gerlach Kerstin , Voelker Iris
Published: October 2022

To the authorsʼ knowledge there is only one report in the literature,
dealing with paramedullary plasmacytomas in horses as so-called “break
out lesions”, originating from the bone marrow of a vertebra and
invading the epidural space (Drew and Greatorex 1974). Our case report
describes the clinical and patho-morphological findings of such a case.
The affected 8-month-old warmblood weanling colt exhibited acute
tetraparesis thus, a spinal cord lesion in the cervical column was
suspected. Computed tomography revealed osteolytic lesions in C1 and a
heterogeneous mass within the respective segment of the vertebral canal.
By means of patho-morphological examination, with the aid of
transmission electron microscopy, a plasmacytoma was identified, that
had grown out of the bone marrow of C1 into the epidural space, locally
compressing the spinal cord. In tetraparetic, young horses traumatic
spine cord injuries, cervical vertebral malformations and infectious
diseases of the central nervous system represent common differentials.
However bone-dissolving tumours such as paramedullary plasmacytomas
should be considered as a further possible cause in the presence of
severe neurological deficits.
Select functional properties of protein isolates obtained from canola meals modified by solid-state fermentation
Authors: Li Chenghao , Shi Dai , Stone Andrea , Wanasundara Janitha , Tanaka Takuji , Nickerson Michael
Published: October 2022

The present study investigated the effect of solid-state fermentation
(SSF) of cold-pressed (CP) and hexane-extracted (HE) canola meals with
Aspergillus niger NRRL 334 and A. oryzae NRRL 5590 on the
functionalities of protein products extracted from them. After SSF,
proteins were recovered using alkaline extraction-isoelectric
precipitation (AE-IP) or salt extraction-dialysis (SE). SSF of the two
meal types reduced the protein content of the extracts produced by
AE-IP. There were varied effects to solubility, foaming, and emulsifying
properties as a result of SSF under the combined influence of
functionality pH, strain, meal type, and protein extraction method. The
protein isolate produced from CP meal using SE had increased solubility
at pH 7 (from 51.8 to 90.7%) when the meal was fermented with A.
oryzae. Both strains resulted in an over 2-fold increase in the
emulsifying activity index (at pH 7) of AE-IP products from CP meal. For
both protein extraction methods, the protein products from A. niger
fermented HE meal had better foaming capacity (FC) at pH 7 than the
controls (non-fermented), but reduced FC at pH 3. Overall, regardless of
meal fermentation, the SE products were richer in protein and had higher
oil holding capacity (OHC), whereas the water holding capacity (WHC) was
higher for AE-IP isolates. SSF of the meals generally improved the O/WHC
of the extracted proteins. The findings suggest that canola protein
functionality could be effectively modulated by SSF with different
microbial strains under various processing conditions to enhance their
applicability in the food industry.

Authors: Radlovic Nedeljko , Lekovic Zoran , Radlovic Jelena , Mladenovic Marija
Published: October 2022

Anemia is a common and etiologically heterogeneous health problem both during the period of growth and development and in other phases of life. It is most often caused by a deficiency of iron, primarily due to inadequate nutrition, and less often as a consequence of various diseases. Particularly risk groups for the occurrence of anemia due to iron deficiency are children in the stages of rapid growth and development, i.e., in the first years after birth and during puberty. In accordance with the fact that it is better to prevent than to treat, in this article are given basic guidelines related to the prevention of this type of anemia in children and adolescents.
Roman stoics Seneca and Epictetus on epicurean hedonism and the social roles of philosophers
Authors: Plecas Tamara , Nisavic Ivan
Published: October 2022

Epicureans and Roman Stoics interpreted pleasure (?????) differently from each other: for the Epicureans, pleasure was the ultimate good, while most Stoics perceived pleasure as something indifferent. This difference in understanding of pleasure is the crucial point of a disagreement between these two Hellenistic schools of philosophy, in particular if we consider their ethics. This paper examines this difference and highlights the significant similarities between the Roman Stoic and the Epicurean positions. Further, it briefly explores the Epicurean and the Roman Stoic understanding of social relations and philosophers? role in politics and society.
The feeling of the absurd as an aesthetic experience
Authors: Jaksic Predrag
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we deal with the feeling of the absurd as an aesthetic
experience in art. We define the phenomenon of absurd and we explore the
relationship of artist and recipient to this phenomenon. We single out two
ways of projection of the absurd into works of art: one is the artistic
projection of the absurd through the artistically valuable works, be they
literary, artistic, musical, the other is a projection of the absurd through
absurd works, which, except general relativization of artistic principles,
can?t even be called artistic. First of all, we deal with the works of
Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, Charles Baudelaire and Marcel Duchamp. In the
context of the question of the absurd we also emphasize the issues of
morality, mind, consciousness and conscience. We refer to the views of
philosophers and theorists arts such as Charles Taylor, Seraphim Rose, Jovan
Hristic, Jean-Pierre Sarazak.
Contribution to the analysis of an old quarrel between science and humanities: Problem of fundamental limitations of scientific knowledge
Authors: Draskic-Vicanovic Iva
Published: October 2022

A big problem in contemporary culture is the fact that humanities are
severely neglected. It has been claimed that humanities are inferior to
natural sciences and mathematics because they are not as accurate,
veritable, credible and ?scientific? as natural sciences. The main thesis of
this paper is that it is a big prejudice of contemporary culture and that
humanities and science are identic as far as the fundamental limitation of
scientific knowledge is concerned; their essential similarities has been
analized in the text, with focus on the argumentation of the great
scientists themselves.

Authors: Luyten Jonathan , De Roo Noëmi M. C. , Christiaens Jeroen , Van Overberghe Leonie , Temmerman Liesbeth , De Pauw Guy A. M.
Published: October 2022

Objectives

To compare the dentoalveolar outcomes of slow maxillary expansion (SME) and rapid maxillary expansion (RME) used for maxillary expansion before secondary alveolar bone grafting in patients with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). Secondarily, the advantages and disadvantages of SME vs RME were reviewed.

Materials and Methods

A systematic search was conducted up to November 2021, including Medline (via PubMed), Embase (via Ovid), Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Risk-of-bias assessment was performed using the Risk of Bias (RoB 2.0) and Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS I) tool. Overall quality was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tool.

Results

Of 4007 records, five studies met the inclusion criteria. The randomized control trial (RCT) had a low risk of bias, the non-RCTs presented with a moderate risk of bias. Arch width and perimeter increased significantly with both SME and RME treatments. No difference in the increase in palatal depth was found. The meta-analysis showed a greater anterior-to-posterior expansion ratio for the Quad Helix (QH) appliance. The results for dental tipping were not conclusive.

Conclusions

SME and RME promote equal posterior expansion in cleft patients. The anterior differential expansion is greater with SME (QH appliance). No clear evidence exists concerning the amount of dental adverse effects of SME and RME in cleft patients.

Authors: Karkazi Frantzeska , Karvelas Nikolaos , Alexiou Antigoni , Gizani Sotiria , Tsolakis Apostolos I.
Published: October 2022

Objectives

To evaluate and compare the efficiency of orthodontic treatment and surgical uprighting of first and second mandibular molars.

Materials and Methods

An electronic literature search in PubMed, Science Direct, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, and Google Scholar, as well as a hand search was conducted by two independent researchers to identify relevant articles up to January 2022. In addition, a manual search was done that included article reference lists, grey literature, and dissertations. The risk of bias of the included prospective and retrospective studies was assessed with the Risk Of Bias Tool In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) assessment tool.

Results

A total of six nonrandomized clinical trials (non-RCT) evaluating the efficiency of mandibular molar orthodontic and/or surgical uprighting were included. The quality analysis showed certain defects of the Non-RCTs included and, according to the criteria used, the majority of the articles were judged to be of moderate quality.

Conclusions

Based on the evidence, orthodontic and surgical uprighting appear to be effective treatment methods for mandibular molars. Surgical uprighting may be associated with more complications than orthodontic uprighting. However, the existing literature on the subject is limited, heterogeneous, and methodologically limited. Therefore, the outcomes should be interpreted carefully.

Published: October 2022

The stages of seeding paddy rice seeds before planting require more time, cost, and labor than seeds that are planted directly without the seeding stage. Pelleting is an alternative technology in planting small-sized rice seeds without going through the seeding stage. This study aims to determine the effect of pelleting on the germination of paddy rice seeds. This experiment is a non-factorial experiment consisting of 9 treatments and repeated 3 times in a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The nine treatments were: (P0) No pellets, (P1) Clay + CMC + Dolomite 4 g, (P2) Clay + CMC + Dolomite 12 g, (P3) Clay + AG + Chalk 4 g, (P4) Clay + AG + Chalk 12 g, (P5) Clay + CMC + Mycorrhizae, (P6) Clay + AG + Mycorrhizae, (P7) Clay + CMC + Trichoderma, (P8) Clay + AG + Trichoderma. The data obtained were analyzed for variance and performed with the Honest Significant Difference (HSD)test using the R-studio statistical program. The results showed that the pelleting technique did not inhibit rice seed germination as indicated by the variables of germination, time of emergence of plumules, speed of germination, vigor index, normal germination root length, normal germination colept length, normal germination wet weight, normal germination dry weight. This means that clay can be used as a filler, Carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) and Arabic gum (AG) as an adhesive and microorganisms (mycorrhizae and trichoderma) can be added as seed pellet material

Published: October 2022

The presence of Asystasia gangetica weed in oil palm plantations is detrimental and need to be controlled. One alternative to control weeds is by utilizing allelochemical compounds as bioherbicides. This study aimed to determine the allelochemical effect of taro tubers (Colocasia esculenta L.) and gadung tubers (Dioscorea hispida) extracts on the germination of A. gangetica weeds. The research was carried out at the Weed Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung from November to December 2021. The research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 2 factors, the first factor was the concentration of the extract: 0% (Control), 10%, 20% and 30%. The second factor was the source of the extract: taro tubers and gadung tubers. The homogeneity test of variance is using the Bartlett test. If the assumptions are met, the data analysis is continued with the variance test and the Least Significant Difference (BNT) test at the 5% level. The results showed that extracts of taro and gadung tubers at 10%, 20%, and 30% concentrations were able to inhibit germination and reduce the speed of germination of A. gangetica weeds. The inhibitory power of gadung tubers and taro tubers extracts at 20% and 30% concentrations were able to inhibit germination and the speed of germination up to 100%. The inhibition of taro tuber extract was higher than gadung tuber on germination rate of A. gangetica weed.Key words: Asystasia gangetica, allelopathy, germination, taro, yam

Authors: Ramadhani Gilda Azalia Nur Ramadhani , Astuti Miguna , Nasirun Noraini
Published: October 2022

Since Covid-19, cashless especially e-wallet has become a trend in Indonesia. This was caused by the compatibility between e-wallet with the Indonesian lifestyle primarily when the Covid-19 protocol was applied and also could be used for a continuous purpose. This research was done to analyze the impact of compatibility and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) on the intention to use e-wallets. The technology acceptance model (consisting of perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness) is used to underpin the research framework. The data collected in this study are from college students who are living in Indonesia and using e-wallet. The measurement will be adapted from previous research in which the reliability and validity are confirmed using pre-testing. SPSS and SmartPLS are used to analyze the data. The output could become a contribution for the development of the TAM model in relation to the intention to use e-wallet among college students in Indonesia. In addition, the result could become an insight to understand consumer behaviors when using e-wallet.

Constructing legislative networks in R using incidentally and backbone
Authors: Neal Zachary P.
Published: October 2022

Political network data can often be challenging to collect and clean for analysis. This article demonstrates how the incidentally and backbone packages for R can be used together to construct networks among legislators in the US Congress. These networks can be customized to focus on a specific chamber (Senate or House of Representatives), session (2003 to present), legislation type (bills and resolutions), and policy area (32 topics). Four detailed examples with replicable code are presented to illustrate the types of networks and types of insights that can be obtained using these tools.

Acute pulmonary embolism is a cardiovascular emergency with a significant morbidity and mortality. In the last decade, attempts have been made to find prognostic markers for pulmonary embolism. We conducted a systematic review of the literature for studies that assess the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and disease progression in patients with pulmonary embolism. We included a total of seven studies published between 2016 and 2021, reporting on a total of 4,272 patients. The mean NLR observed in these studies was 5.93, with values ranging from 5.12 to 7.3. Elevated NLR was significantly associated with an increased rate of mortality in all studies. Furthermore, the collected data revealed a 2-to-15 times higher mortality rate in the group with NLR values higher than the mean. Due to its accessibility and the simplicity with which it can be calculated, as well as the outcomes revealed in this review, we strongly emphasize that NLR should be used more in medical practice.

Introduction: Atherosclerosis represents the main cause of arterial stenosis, mostly affecting the arteries of the lower extremities. Atherosclerotic arterial disease presents multiple localizations, including the carotid, subclavian, coronary, and kidney arteries. The severity of the stenosis does not always correlate with the symptomatology.

Case report: We present the case of a patient with multisite atherosclerotic disease. A 70-year-old smoker male patient, with a history of myocardial infarction and renal artery stenosis, presented in the emergency department complaining of vertigo, chest pain, and intermittent claudication. The diagnostic and treatment algorithm represented a challenge. Imaging assessment showed atherosclerotic lesions in a new vascular territory, which involved the left subclavian artery with a stenosis of 70%.

Conclusions: Subclavian artery stenosis can be a hidden form of atherosclerotic disease, often undiagnosed, which needs urgent interventional treatment and can be easily unmasked using simple tools such as measuring the blood pressure on both arms. Patients with athero-sclerotic lesions must undergo comprehensive screening for multisite atherosclerotic disease.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) is one of the priority medicinal and aromatic plants in Europe because of its broad potential for use and distribution assessments of the species. The involvement of oregano genetic resources in cultivation can solve the problems of depletion of natural habitats and allows receiving high yield in marginal meteorological conditions. Also, ex situ conservation is the most applicable method for conserving local species of medicinal and aromatic plants in Nordic Europe. There is limited information about the characterisation and evaluation of oregano genetic resources in Latvia and Europe. In this study, long-term observations on 44 oregano accessions maintained at the ex situ collection of medicinal and aromatic plants of the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, were characterised by the Draft Descriptor List under the agro-climatic conditions of Latvia. Integrated assessment of oregano genetic resources was made to recommend the most valuable accessions for growing.

The negative influence of pathogens on plant development is well known. However, the negative impact depends on various factors: cultivar and rootstock resistance, nutrition, the environment, the virulence, and concentration of pathogens in the plant tissue. The evaluation of apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) influence on apple tree growth and production was performed at Institute of Horticulture (LatHort) from 2012 to 2020. Virus-free and ACLSV-infected trees from the traditional cultivar ‘Antonovka’ and new scab resistant cultivar ‘Gita’ were evaluated on dwarfing rootstock B.396. The presence of four common apple viruses (apple mosaic virus (ApMV), ACLSV, apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), apple stem pitting virus (ASPV)) was assayed in the planting year and repeated at the end of the study period. The vigour of planting material, growth, yield, and yield efficiency were compared between virus negative and ACLSV-infected trees. During eight growing seasons (2013–2020), no statistically significant negative impact of ACLSV infection on tree growth or yield was observed for the cultivars. A larger canopy volume was observed for ACLSV-infected trees (p = 0.01), but the cumulative yield per canopy volume was equivalent between virus-negative trees and ACLSV-infected trees (p = 0.07).

ABSTRACT
Public speaking does not just belong to celebrities; it belongs to all of us. Some of us have problems speaking in public, including the Rusunawa Muara Baru, Jakarta residents. The results of our needs analysis found that Rusunawa residents faced several issues related to public speaking. That was feeling anxious, not confident, "blank," stammering, unable to master the audience, etc., and they see the need to acquire speaking skills in front of the audience. For that, we held a community service in a master of ceremony (MC) training as a type of public speaking for the Rusunawa Muara Baru, Jakarta residents. This training applies small group discussion (SGD), role play & simulation, and contextual instruction (CI). The Faculty of Economics and Business lecturers, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, act as facilitators. The results of this community service show that after participating in the training, the skills of MC participants are much better than their MC skills before participating in the activity. This condition implies that the trainees have an adequate understanding of the basic principles of being an MC and are skilled in programming and hosting events. In addition, this community service provides great benefits for training participants, such as broadening their horizons and increasing knowledge, equipping them with useful knowledge for educating children, etc

Actualmente existe una alta presión por mejorar la competitividad de los países, es por esto que todos los actores de un ecosistema a través de estudios desean encontrar una solución para reducir las brechas en temas económicos, sociales y ambientales y responder a la dinámica económica global basada en una economía del conocimiento. Colombia y el Valle del Cauca, no son la excepción, y la Caracterización de un ecosistema de Competitividad, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, es necesaria para encontrar respuestas que mitiguen esa presión internacional por ser más competitivos y más innovadores, fenómenos en las empresas como la capacidad de absorción del conocimiento, el aprendizaje organizacional y la transferencia de tecnología que explica el desarrollo e impulso de organizaciones de clase mundial, respecto a las demás, debido al desarrollo de recursos y capacidades para fortalecer su posicionamiento y desempeño en el mercado de una forma competitiva y sostenible (Santa et al., 2014). Aunque muchas empresas buscan fuentes externas de conocimiento, no siempre mejoran su competitividad. (Santa Florez et al., 2020). Este estudio da respuesta a algunos de los interrogantes e invita a mejorar la articulación entre los diferentes actores, no solo en la relación empresa-empresa, estado-estado, academia-academia, sino entre las relaciones con diferentes actores, empresa-estado, academia-estado, academia-empresa, y la inclusión de la Sociedad Civil. Así mismo, el aprendizaje organizacional, está relacionado con la capacidad de absorción y la transferencia tecnológica que aumenta la efectividad operativa de las empresas a través de la confianza en las alianzas estratégicas, siempre y cuando se dinamice el ecosistema a través de la difusión y sustitución de tecnologías en un ecosistema que fomente la cultura del conocimiento como estrategia para el desarrollo de la Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación.
