KORONER ARTER BYPASS GREFT CERRAHİSİ UYGULANAN HASTALARDA MÜZİĞİN ANKSİYETE VE AĞRI DÜZEYİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: DOĞRUSÖZ Pınar , ÖZTÜRK Şenay
Published: April 2023

Çalışma, Koroner Arter Bypass Greft (KABG) ameliyatı olan hastalara uygulanan müzik terapisinin anksiyete ve ağrı düzeyine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla girişimsel olarak yapıldı. Araştırmanın evrenini Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kalp Damar Cerrahisi Servisinde Koroner Arter Bypass Ameliyatı olan hastalar oluşturdu. Evrenin örneklem sayısı müdahale ve kontrol gruplarının her birinde 30 hasta olmak üzere 60 hasta olarak belirlendi. Veriler, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Durumluk Anksiyete Ölçeği” ve “Visual Analog Skala” ile hastalarla birebir görüşme sağlanarak toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Yüzdelik, Ortalama (X), Standart Sapma (SD),Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann–Whitney U,WilcoxonSigned-Ranksve Ki Kare (χ2) testleri kullanıldı. Müzik terapi uygulanan grup ile uygulanmayan grubun ameliyat sonrası 1. ve 2. gün anksiyete düzeylerinde fark yok iken, 3. gün müdahale grubunun anksiyete seviyesinin kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu bulundu (p˂0.05). Müdahale ve kontrol grubundaki hastaların ameliyat sonrası yaşadıkları ağrı şiddeti benzerdi. Kontrol grubunun da 2. ve 3. gün ağrıları azalmakla beraber müzik dinletilen grubun 2. ve 3. gün ağrı düzeyinin kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük olduğu bulundu (p˂0.05). Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre KABG cerrahisinde müzik terapisinin, anksiyete düzeyini ve algılanan ağrı şiddetini azaltmada etkili olduğunu belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, KABG uygulanan hastalarda bu terapinin uygulanması önerilmektedir.

Published: April 2023

Dünya genelinde yaşlanan nüfusun genel nüfusa oranının artması ile birlikte Alzheimer hastalığı gibi yaşla ilişkili nörodejeneratif hastalıkların daha sık ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. Uzayan insan ömrü, beyin sağlığının korunmasının önemini artırmıştır. Beynin plastik bir yapı olduğu, yetişkinlik dönemi boyunca öğrenme, hafıza, dikkat gibi kognitif fonksiyonların belirli uygulamalarla geliştirilebileceği bilinmektedir. Fiziksel egzersiz, kognitif fonksiyonları geliştirmeye ve sürdürmeye yönelik stratejiler içerisinde, yan etkisinin bulunmaması, etkin maliyetli ve kolay ulaşılabilir olması gibi yönleriyle öne çıkmaktadır. Egzersizin özellikle aerobik formunun beyin sağlığı üzerine olumlu etkileri, birçok bilimsel çalışma ile gösterilmiştir. Araştırmacıların yoğunlukla üzerinde durduğu güncel sorulardan biri, egzersizin beynin yapı ve fonksiyonlarını hangi mekanizma ile etkilediğidir. Egzersizin beyin sağlığı üzerine pozitif etkilerinin, nörogenezis ile yeni nöron üretimi, anjiyogenezis ile serebral dolaşımın artması, kognitif fonksiyonlar ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülen beyin bölgelerindeki hacimsel artış, inflamasyonun baskılanması ve nörotrofin salgılanmasının uyarılması gibi fizyolojik mekanizmalar aracılığıyla gerçekleştiği düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede, aerobik egzersizin kognitif fonksiyonları geliştirici etkisine dair mekanizmaların kısaca açıklanması hedeflenmiştir. Ayrıca aerobik egzersiz uygulaması ile sağlıklı kişilerde kognitif fonksiyonları geliştirmeyi amaçlayan bilimsel çalışmalara yer verilmiş, bu çalışmalarda uygulanmış olan egzersiz reçeteleri, nitelikleri bakımından incelenmiştir. Egzersizin beyin sağlığını hangi mekanizma ile etkilediğinin anlaşılması, kognitif sağlığı korumak üzere en iyi egzersiz reçetesinin ne şekilde hazırlanabileceğinin belirlenmesinde yol gösterici olabilir.
“Kış Uykusu” Filminin Varoluşsal Yaklaşım Çerçevesinde Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: KIZILKAYA Mehtap , İÇÖZ Ferhat Jak
Published: April 2023

Varoluş felsefesi, özne ve nesne ilişkisiyle ortaya çıkmıştır ve evrenin bir bütün olduğu görüşünü savunmaktadır. Varoluşçu felsefenin temeli insanın varoluşunu, insanı ve insanın dünyayı algılama şeklini, anlama gayreti olarak aktarılmaktadır. Varlığını fark eden tek yaratığın insan olduğunu ve bunu fark ettiğinde nedenlerini sorguladığını, varlığına anlam aradığı dile getirilmektedir. Varoluşçuluğa göre insan daha önce tanımlanamamaktadır. Ancak sonradan bir şey olmakta ve kendini nasıl yaparsa öyle olmaktadır. Varoluşçulukta özgürlük olumlu bir kavram olarak düşünülmesinin yanı sıra insanın kendi seçimlerinden sorumlu olması anlamına gelmektedir. Ölüm, insanın sonlu olduğunun en keskin kanıtıdır. Yaşamın bir sonunun olduğunun bilinmesi hayatı anlamlı, heyecanlı uyanık yaşanmasını sağlamaktadır. Sartre, Camus, Heidegger, Kierkegaard ve Nietzche’nin bu yaklaşımdan etkilendikleri bilinmektedir. Sinema, yalnızca bir estetik yapı değil aynı zamanda toplumsal olay, sıkıntı ve toplumsal dönüşümlerden etkilenen bir yapıda olması nedeniyle sinema filmleri yoluyla felsefe, psikoloji ve psikiyatri kavramlarının aktarılması sıklıkla tercih edilmektedir. Bu derleme, “Kış Uykusu” filmini varoluşsal yaklaşım açısından değerlendirmek ve literatür bilgileri doğrultusunda açıklamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.

解释学视野下非洲受众对中国功夫片的理解
Authors:   Zhejiang Normal University, China, Taling Téné Rodrigue
Published: April 2023

哲学解释学认为，任何文化作品的理解始终是个哲学命题，因为任何理解活动取决于读者的“前理解”，因此创造作品的“新理解”。在跨文化交际语境下，中国影视作品不得不跟从该道理,也就是说，在国际化过程中中国影视作品不得不适应其他人的新解释。自七十年代以来，中国功夫片传遍了全球，至今它仍是外国人了解中国的重要窗口。这也必然导致了外国人通过功夫片对中国有了了解偏离。在非洲大陆，受众在试图解读功夫片中的中国文化元素时，出现了理解偏差，因此造成了对中国文化的理解“隔阂”。文章从哲学解释学的“读者中心论”明晰非洲受众对中国功夫片产生理解分歧的原因。

中国影视作品是最早期跨越国门并风靡全世界的文化产品。其中中国功夫片给非洲观众留下最深刻的印象并为多数影迷创造了梦想之路。在追求梦想的道路上，部分非洲影迷重构了对中国文化的认知。本文以三人为代表例，隆重讲述了非洲功夫影迷塑造并追求自己的“功夫梦”故事。喀麦隆籍少林武术使者释延麦、加蓬籍功夫影星吕克•本扎以及笔者亲身经历的口述与采访记录为展开非洲影迷的“功夫梦”提供论据。从三人物的故事中可以得知，“中国功夫片”的威力与跨文化交际能力万万不可忽视。所以内容要以观众为中心，而最终目的应该是文化共享。就非洲而言，为了更有效地落实中非影视交流与合作，本文章建议“中非功夫片”这一新理念。
La coopération franco-camerounaise face au déploiement chinois en Afrique : du privilège au rejet (1986-2021)
Authors:   Université de Bertoua, Cameroun, Moumbagna Youssouf-Laplage
Published: April 2023

La Chine et le Cameroun ont célébré en 2021, les noces d’or de leur coopération. Les relations entre ces deux pays, vieilles de cinquante ans ont pris leur envol en 1986 avec l’instauration des commissions mixtes en charge de l’évaluation de leur coopération. La Chine s’impose au Cameroun par son dynamisme et sa vision des relations internationales moins contraignante. Elle suscite l’admiration d’une certaine opinion qui manifeste un sentiment de rejet à l’endroit de la France jadis partenaire privilégié du Cameroun avec qui les rapports avec le Cameroun remontent à la période coloniale. La Chine désormais au hit des puissances mondiales a réussi à déclasser la France et occupe désormais le rang de premier partenaire commercial du Cameroun. Cet article fait une analyse de l’évolution de la coopération entre le Cameroun et l’empire du Milieu vieille de 50 ans et ses influences sur les relations franco-camerounaises depuis 1986. Ce travail s’appuie sur diverses sources écrites ainsi que des documents d’archives. L’objectif est de susciter une prise en compte des aspirations camerounaises dans le cadre de la coopération sino-camerounaise conformément à la stratégie nationale de développement du Cameroun (SND30) qui fait une part belle à la coopération internationale.
Coopération culturelle et tourisme à l’aune de « la Ceinture et la Route » entre la Chine-Afrique : enjeux et défis des dynamiques transitionnelles
Authors:   Université de Douala, Cameroun, Mbeng Dang Hanse Gilbert , Ligue Engamba Fernando
Published: April 2023

Avec le lancement de l’initiative « la Ceinture et la Route » par le président Xi Jinping en 2013, le domaine du tourisme est devenu prisé pour le développement des pays africains. Concevoir l’initiative de « la Ceinture et la Route » entre la Chine-Afrique comme un outil de coopération culturelle nécessite en premier lieu de s’entendre sur les opportunités et de clarifier les défis d’un tel projet. Comment promouvoir la coopération culturelle et le tourisme le long de « la Ceinture et Route » entre la Chine-Afrique francophone ? Cette réflexion adossée sur une analyse empirique se propose de traiter le panorama des relations entre le projet de la Chine et le tourisme en Afrique. La méthodologie employée pour la réalisation de ce travail adossée sur la théorie du fonctionnalisme s'inspire de 1'utilisation des données de la discipline historique. La compilation, la confrontation des différents matériaux collectés et leur analyse critique est réalisée sur la base de l’observation expérimental, d’une documentation faite d’ouvrages, de revues scientifiques et d’articles de presses. Les résultats obtenus ont permis d'apprendre que cette collaboration peut être synthétisée en trois temps : tout d’abord, le contexte de la coopération sino-africaine, ensuite les enjeux pour le développement du tourisme et, finalement, les conditions nécessaires pour intégrer favorablement le projet face aux défis dans les pays hôtes. Compte tenu de la complexité des activités touristiques, cette initiative ne peut être garantie que par la mise sur pied d’une nouvelle politique culturelle basée sur une démarche participative et inclusive des pays africains. Il faut l’inscrire dans un projet territorial cohérent et soutenu par les communautés afin de dégager de réels enrichissements.
Retracer une camaraderie sino-africaine dans China Poems (1975) de Dennis Brutus
Authors:   University of Malawi, Malawi, Galafa Beaton
Published: April 2023

Cette étude aborde la représentation des relations sino-africaines dans un rare recueil de poésie africain anglophone, China Poems (Poèmes de Chine) de Dennis Brutus (1975). Dans ce recueil, Brutus présente une convergence de l’Afrique et de la Chine où l’on voit se forger une véritable camaraderie ancrée dans un soutien inconditionnel à travers une lutte commune contre la marginalisation. Cet article revisite donc ce recueil et lance un discours sur la pertinence de l’imaginaire de Brutus sur l’amitié Chine-Afrique des années 1970 dans la sphère culturelle et littéraire sino-africaine contemporaine. Cet imaginaire se manifeste à travers la propagation d’une solidarité géopolitique sino-africaine, l’adoration des Chinois comme source d’inspiration pour l’Afrique et l’appréciation de la forme artistique chinoise à travers son imitation de la forme de vers Jueju. L’article se termine en situant China Poems dans les relations sino-africaines contemporaines et en mesurant son importance dans la production de nouvelles figures artistiques et littéraires. Dans cette analyse, l’étude s’appuie sur la théorie littéraire marxiste, sur une compréhension contextuelle d’écriture de Brutus et sur une revue de la littérature comme méthodologie.

Published: April 2023

The dynamic meshing technology in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to simulate the transient overtaking process of right turning vehicles and straight running vehicles. The characteristic of flow field around the vehicle model and the variation trend of lateral force and yawing moment are obtained. The research shows that when the speed of the straight vehicle increases, its lateral force and the yawing moment of both vehicles increase, while the lateral force of the right turning vehicle increases first and then decreases; The turning radius of the right turning vehicle increases, the lateral force of the two vehicles and the yawing moment of the straight vehicle decrease linearly, and the yawing moment of the right turning vehicle increases linearly.
About the Interpretation of a Work of Art
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Gulyanitskaya Natalia S.
Published: April 2023

Author of the article focuses her attention to the issue of interpretation of works of art, including musical compositions. In works devoted to issues of aesthetics, philosophy and literary studies this issue is frequently elucidated in an abstract, sublime vein insinuating at the impossibility of total comprehension: a “trick” which “must be impenetrable to complete explanation by words” (Leo Tolstoy), “an unconsciously carried out mystery” or “the soul of the work of art” (Ivan Ilyin), or “the artistic world” possessing “inner unity” defined by the overall of a work of art or of an author, the style of a literary direction or “the style of the epoch” (Dmitri Likhachev). To what degree are these conceptions applicable to a musical composition? The author is convinced that contemporary musical practice as the result of its diversity requires the search for a corresponding method of analysis. Depending on the type of the musical composition, it must be examined through the prism of such aesthetic conceptions as the beautiful (for example, Valery Kikta’s “The Return of St. Cecilia”), “the unity of oppositions” (Pavel Karmanov’s “Favorite Hated City,” Sofia Gubaidulina’s “The Seven Last Words,” etc.). Special approaches must be found for intertextual compositions (such as, for instance, Vladimir Martynov’s Vita nova and Valentin Silvestrov’s “Mozart’s Moments”) and compositions practically not possessing content to which such aesthetical terms as “ironic play” or “artistic deceit” (Georges Aperghis’ Simulacres) may be applied. The well-known music of the past also presumes a search for new methods of analysis. As the central term for studying a musical work of art the author proposes the term “music as a text,” initially suggested, presumably, by Alexander Mikhaylov. The article demonstrates that music is capable to tell about itself by itself. As an example, analysis is made of Franz Liszt’s Ave Maria, the numerous versions of which, having appeared at various stages of the composer’s artistic path, comprise a hyper-cycle, according to the author. In this hyper-cycle becomes an event for the listener, in which it could “read” the change of the musical morphology and syntax.
On N.S. Gulyanitskaya’s Scientific Creation
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Panteleeva Yulia N.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the anniversary date — 95th anniversary of the outstanding scientist, professor of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, Doctor of Art History Natalia Sergeevna Gulyanitskaya. Gulyanitskaya is a prominent figure in modern musical science, whose works are well-known in Russia and abroad, for thirty years she headed Department of Music Theory of Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, for twenty years she headed the Dissertation Council of the Academy. As a scientific adviser N. S. Gulyanitskaya trained dozens of young scientists (candidates of art criticism). The article deals with Gulyanitskaya’ major monographic works and textbooks in such thematic areas as modern harmony, Russian sacred music, modern composition, and the methodology of modern musicology. In each of these branches of musicology, this scientist made a huge scientific contribution, laying the fundamental foundations for further research. The article gives a broad idea about the books of this famous scientist, published in the famous publishing houses in the period from the late 1970s to today. «Introduction to Music Harmony» (1984), «Modern Harmony: A Series of Lectures on the Course of Harmony for Students of Music Universities» (1977), Harmony and Rationalization Methods in the Music of 50s (Interpretation and Criticism) (1982) –– books by N. S. Gulyanitskaya devoted to the harmony in the music of the XXth century. «Russian “Harmonic Singing”» (XIXth Century) is the first study in Post-Soviet science that studies the Russian tradition of liturgical singing of the XIX century. «Poetics of Musical Composition: Theoretical Aspects of Russian Sacred Music of the 20th Century» (2002) – work by N. S. Gulyanitskaya, which presents the sacred music of the beginning and end of the twentieth century. «Russian Music: the Formation of the Tonal System, XI-XX centuries» (2005) examines tonal organization in works if various styles and genres, including spiritual ones. «Music Science Methods» (2009) is a pioneering study on the methodology of modern music science. «Musical Composition: modernism, postmodernism (history, theory, practice)» (2014) and «About Modern Composition» (2019) are devoted to the study of contemporary art of musical composition.
My Academic Advisor Natalia Sergeevna Gulyanitskaya
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Aleev Vitaly V.
Published: April 2023

The article describes the academic legacy of Natalia Sergeyevna Gulyanitskaya – Doctor of Art History and Professor, who for thirty years has headed the Department of Harmony and Solfeggio (currently – Music Theory) of the Gnesin State Musical and Pedagogical Institute / Gnesin Russian Academy of Music. The author of the article is her student who wrote his thesis and dissertation under her supervision. The article is written in the genre of selective reminiscences about the brightest moments of communication with the academic advisor. It touches upon significant events (namely, the defense of the author’s doctoral dissertation in September 1987), their interpretation in a historical perspective (an innovative theme related to the concept of “contemporary harmony”), as well as scholarly and pedagogical approaches in the musicologist’s course of lectures and the author’s individual lessons with her. Particularly highlighted is the complexity of the subject for the students of the generation of the 1970s – 1980s, distinctly different from the established school harmony course, which, nonetheless, has aroused great interest and stimulated research activity among music scholars. All of this in total is aimed at comprehending not only the teacher-student relationship, but also the issue of the initial formation of a musicologist. What presents to be of paramount importance here? The instruction of basic materials, such like finding previously inaccessible musical repertoire or academic sources? Exposure to the methodology of the humanitarian disciplines and the terminological lexis in the sphere of the most recent contemporary music? Or, perhaps, the special atmosphere of respect and trust that prevailed in the classes of outstanding music instructors? The article does not answer these questions, since it remains within the modest confines of private experience. However, the author would like to draw attention once again to the issue of personality in music education, presuming that even in the present day it has not lost its relevance.
French Musicians of the 18th Century on the Interpretation of Compositions by Jean-Baptiste Lully

Published: April 2023

The French musical culture of the late Baroque and gallant Mannerism is a complex, closed, determinate dynamic system. The emphasis in this definition should be on the word “dynamic”. In particular, it applies to the principles of performance, which in France over the course of a century (until 1789) repeatedly and significantly changed in the process of the evolution of musical art and musical aesthetics. During the long 18th century, hundreds of treatises were published in France designed to various aspects of music theory and music pedagogy of the time. Among them are: manuals for teaching music to beginners, various vocal and instrumental methods, schools of composition, and so on. It is noteworthy that the authors of these works, illustrating their theoretical reasoning and specific performance recommendations, regularly refer to the opera work of the great French composer of the 17th century Jean Baptiste Lully (1632–1687). Lully’s operatic genres (including fragments from the operas “Phaeton”, “Roland”, “Armida”, etc.) are addressed to the reader by such authors as de Saint Lambert (“Principles of the harpsichord”, Paris, 1702), [Borin] (“Theoretical and practical music according to the natural order: new principles”, Paris, 1722), Michel Corrette (“Theoretical and practical school of teaching cello”, Paris, 1741), Henri-Louis Choquel (“<…> New system of easy music teaching”, Paris, 1759 and 1762) and many others. The authors of the article analyze the context in which Lully’s operatic compositions appear among French authors of the 18th century, and are interested whether they are adequate, from the point of the view of historical reality and the principles of historically informed performance, do they literally follow the performance instructions of French musicians of the 18th century in the process of interpreting, namely, the operas of J. B. Lully?

Published: April 2023

Authentication of origin of animal species is of paramount importance owing to economic, social, religious, forensic and public health considerations. In the present study, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) was developed by designing unique species-specific forward and a common reverse primers flanking mitochondrial D-loop region for the authentication of cattle (Bos indicus / B. taurus) and buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) species. Novel mPCR amplified 382 bp product specific to cattle and 336 bp specific to buffalo. Possibility of cross amplification in other species was rules out by testing as many as 25 other animal species. The novel mPCR assay developed in this study for the authentic identification and differentiation of meats of cattle and buffalo could be applied for the differentiation of samples derived from cattle and buffalo in diagnostic laboratories thereby ensuring prompt labelling of products, protecting consumer sentiments and enforcement of laws.

VIJF PERSPECTIEVEN OP DE MAN VROUW HARMONIE OF DISHARMONIE
Authors: Vandamme Fernand
Published: April 2023

We zijn het grosso modo allemaal eens over het basisidee van de gelijkheid tussen man en vrouw. Althans over de gelijkheid van rechten. Zeker weten we dat er verschillen zijn tussen man en vrouw. Hoe belangrijk en relevant deze verschillen zijn, is een andere kwestie. We zijn het er ook over eens dat de omgeving, de taken, de doelen, de culturele verwachtingen, uitdagingen en vereisten een grote invloed hebben op onze levenswijze, ons gedrag, onze verwachtingen en op de eisen die wij aan de anderen en onszelf stellen. Het is duidelijk dat de culturele omgevingen over het algemeen heel verschillend zijn voor mannen en vrouwen. Desalniettemin nemen de verschillen in kenmerken, verwachtingen en gedrag tussen man en vrouw af in vele domeinen heden ten dage. In andere domeinen worden de verschillen echter zelfs groter. We moeten er ons ook bewust van zijn dat zowel man als vrouw, op diverse gebieden een meer harmonieuze samenleving proberen te creëren en te ontwikkelen. We moeten er ons ook van bewust zijn dat deze pogingen om harmonie tussen man en vrouw te creëren ook heel divers kunnen zijn, afhankelijk van de ontwikkelingsfase van man en vrouw. De uitdagingen en de pogingen om de culturele verschillen te overbruggen kunnen sterk verschillen naargelang de leeftijdsgroep: baby's, kinderen, tieners, studenten, volwassenen, senioren, nestoren... Hoe dan ook, het is te verwachten dat de culturele specialisaties een belangrijke impact hebben op de cognitieve strategieën van groepen en individuen in hun gedrag en manier om met situaties om te gaan, op hun communicatiepatronen, en dus ook op de pedagogische en andere uitdagingen en bovendien op het succes van de pedagogische strategieën en methoden. In dit boek wordt met een heuristische blik gekeken vanuit vier verschillende perspectieven op het ontdekken van de impact die deze specialisaties (zouden) kunnen hebben op de differentiaties tussen de cognitieve strategieën van man en vrouw, op afwijkende communicatie-patronen en hun impact op pedagogische uitdagingen en strategieën. Tegelijkertijd moeten we ons bewust zijn van de gevaren die deze scheiding kan veroorzaken. Door de verschillen tussen individuen, en nog riskanter de verschillen tussen groepen te benadrukken, is het gevaar groot dat tussen groepen polarisatie ontstaat waarbij de ene de andere discrimineert. Hoe dan ook, we zijn hier in een domein waar mensen gemakkelijk discriminatie zien en zelfs soms terecht empirische hypothesen interpreteren als verborgen of impliciete discriminaties.

The comparative growth and efficacy of three strains of Trinidadian Isaria fumosorosea Wize (T,T10 and T11) blastospores were assessed as spray suspensions for controlling greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood. Percent germination of all the three strains were unaffected by the surfactants Triton X -100 or Tween 80 compared to the control (water). Radial growth of fungal strain T11 was faster than either T or T10 which were similar in their growth patterns. Virulence of blastospores of three strains were tested against pharate adult greenhouse whiteflies on bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The corrected mortality of whitefly for strains T, T10 and T11 was 56, 68 and 98% at 107 blastospores mL-1 and the median lethal concentration observed was 2.1 x 107 , 1.3 x 107 and 2.5 x 106 blastospores mL-1, respectively. Strain T11 was the most virulent (range: 97-98% mortality) and had the lowest LC50 (range: 1.1-2.5 x 10 viable blastospores mL-1) value of the Trinidadian blastospore treatments tested against greenhouse whitefly on P. vulgaris.

Ethanol Crude extract of Cosicinium fenestratum stems (Gaertre) Coleb (Menispermaceae) exhibited inhibiting activity against seven plant pathogenic fungi and one antagonistic fungus when they were tested using the dilution method. Ethanolic crude extract of C. fenestratum stems was then fractionated by column chromatography using six organic solvents, and subsequent antimicrobial activity evaluation revealed that only the fraction eluted with methanol exhibited inhibitory activity against the tested phytopathogenic fungi. Further re-fractionation resulted in 60 subfractions eluted with 60 solvent combination systems of increased polarity, that were also evaluated for their antimicrobial effect, being the subfractions eluted with mixture of acetone: chloroform and chloroform: methanol identified as the most active against tested plant pathogenic fungi. The chromatographic profile of the active subfractions revealed a common metabolite, which was isolated by PTLC (Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography) and identified as berberine through NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) analysis. Berberine displayed relevant antimicrobial activity against several of the tested plant pathogenic fungi being identified as the main active constitutuent from the active subfractions.

The house fly, Musca domestica, is a very significant pest due to transmitting of various human and animal pathogenic diseases. In a response to environmental threats of chemical insecticides, toxic and biochemical effects of a relatively new plant extracts of willow (Salix aegyptiaca L.) and chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus L.) comparing with NeemAzal T/S were studied on 3rd larval instar of M. domestica. Results showed that NeemAzal T/S is highly toxic to 3rd larval instar with LC50 and LC90 of 0.009 and 0.098 µg mL-1, respectively. Whereas, willow and chasteberry showed low toxic effects comparing with NeemAzal T/S with LC90 of 70.048 and 66.698 µg mL-1, respectively. Concentrations of total protein markedly decreased in 3rd larval instar after 24 hours exposure to NeemAzal T/S, willow and chasteberry with no significant effects on total lipids compared with control. NeemAzal T/S, willow and chasteberry significantly decreased ALT activity, but NeemAzal T/S only markedly decreased AST activity. On the other hand, amylase (EC3.2.1.1) significantlyincreased due to exposure to all tested substances with only significant increase in invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) activity due to exposure to chasteberry. Larval exposure to NeemAzal T/S, willow or chasteberry showed normal trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28) activity as control. These findings show that willow and chasteberry can cause marked toxic effects on larvae of M. domestica as well as NeemAzal T/S, which suggesting that more studies on insect development using these plant extracts could be useful

The selective toxicity of three doses viz., 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 mL/L ofspirotetramat 150 OD against the life stages of Chrysoperlazastrowisillemi was studied under in vitro conditions. The higher dose of tested insecticide caused 28.88% mortality and hence spirotetramat can be considered ‘harmless’ to C. z. sillemi as per the categorization of IOBC (International Organization on Biological Control). There was no adverse effect of spirotetramat 150 OD over the egg hatching percentage, rate of pupation, adult emergence and fecundity of C. z. sillemiand hence considered as a safer molecule to be integrated with chrysoperla in insect management programs.

Laboratory bioassay was conducted on the 2nd and 4th instar larvae of Aedes aegypti (Diptera:Culicidae) to investigate the efficacy of Moringa oleifera seed oil (MOSO) and Annona muricata seed oil (AMSO) (200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 and 6.25 µL/mL) along with a control. Inhibition of emergence (IE) and larval mortality were monitored at 3-hours intervals for a period of 24 hrs. Results showed that MOSO at the highest concentration caused 94% and 70% mortality for both 2nd and 4th instar larvae respectively while AMSO gave 100% for both 2nd and 4th instar larvae. The level of IE was 100% for both toxicants after post-exposure culture for 10 days. Nevertheless, the 2nd instar larvae were more susceptible than the 4th instar. The LD50 values against the 2nd and 4th instar larvae were 18.19 µL/mL and 54.50 µL/mL for MOSO while AMSO were 9.49 µL/mL and 16.11 µL/mL respectively. AMSO was found to be more effective about twice at all stages than MOSO, therefore both oils show promise as biopesticides against Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae although further evaluations need to be carried out especially on the other mosquito genera and species.

Maize cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae (Koshy et al.) has been reported to cause significant losses in Rajasthan due to monocropping of maize, favorable soil and environmental conditions and ignorance of management practices. In present investigation, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of neem (Azadirachta indica), aak (Calotropis procera) and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaf powder for the management of maize cyst nematode, H. zeae on maize variety PEHM-2. Plant leaf powders were applied at 1, 2 and 4 g/plant as soil amendment at the time of sowing. A treated chemical check (Phorate 2 kg/ha) and untreated check were also maintained for interpretation of experimental results. Results indicated maximum increase in shoot length, root length, shoot weight and root weight which were observed when neem leaf powders were applied at 4 g/plant followed by aak and water hyacinth leaf powders at 4 g/plant. Significant reduction in nematode population viz., cyst/plant, cyst/100 cc soil, eggs and larvae/cyst and larvae/100 cc soil was also observed with neem leaf powders at 4 g/plant over control.

Searching for the Resistance Interactome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Authors: Carolina Castaño Diana , David Patiño-Salazar Juan , Corredor Mauricio
Published: April 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important emerging Gram-negative pathogenic bacilli worldwide. The development of antibiotic resistance and its ability to adapt to multiple environmental conditions keep triggering alarms in global hospitals since the invasion of different types of tissues. This facultative anaerobe can adapt easily to aerobic or anaerobic conditions. It invades tissues, such as the lung, gastrointestinal tract, skin, renal system, and urinary tract, to the extreme of causing a variety of punctate gangrene. The considerable size of its genome (core and accessory genome) shows that this bacterium carries a huge battery of genes that allow it to develop resistance to various antibiotics, emerging as an MDR bacterium. The most studied mechanisms for resistance development have been quorum sensing and biofilm formation, among others. The research of resistance genes has been a long and time-consuming task. Genes such as CARB-3, CARB-4, PSE-1 (CARB-2), PSE-4 (CARB-1), OXA-18, OXA-2, OXA-21, OXA-10 (PSE-2), GyrA, GyrB, OprM, OprJ, OprN, MexB, MODx, MexF, and MexY, are among the best-characterized genes in P. aeruginosa. Another group of not-so-conventional genes is the methyltransferases, which have been negligible studied in P. aeruginosa. In this article, we propose to give a state of the art of the most important resistance genes of P. aeruginosa and their relationship with the interactome-resistome.
Perspective Chapter: Technological Strategies to Increase Insect Consumption – Transformation of Commodities Meal and Oil into Food/Functional Ingredients
Authors: Villanueva Valeria , Ruiz Yanelis , Valdés Fabrizzio , Sepúlveda Marcela , Valenzuela Carolina
Published: April 2023

Insects have been proposed as an alternative source of nutrients to conventional foods, mainly protein sources because they have excellent nutritional quality and are sustainable. However, there are multiple barriers to mass consumption of insects, primarily the rejection and neophobia they provoke in individuals from Western cultures. Several studies have indicated that the acceptance of insects as food ingredients could be improved “if insects did not look like insects.” Therefore, the focus of current research is to transform commodity-type ingredients such as insect flour and oil through various technologies applied in the food industry such as protein concentration, encapsulation, hydrolysis, fermentation, deodorization, to develop food ingredients with better sensory and technological properties are better accepted by people as a part of their diet. Interestingly, some food ingredients obtained from insects also have functional properties that could increase interest in consumption. These aspects will be reviewed in this chapter for further consideration of insects as food ingredients of the future.

Published: April 2023

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) were developed in 2015 to address many global development challenges. Some of these goals include bringing affordable and clean energy to all (UN SDG7), provide clean water and sanitation for all (UN SDG6), providing quality education from early childhood to adults (UN SDG4), and decent work and economic growth (UN SDG 8). Technology has been advancing and can be deployed to address these challenges through entrepreneurial ways. In this chapter we will describe how technology-enabled innovative and entrepreneurial solutions are being brought to address these goals. The specific research questions to be addressed are: What types of Innovation and Entrepreneurship models are most effective in addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals? This book chapter reviews different innovations in technologies and business models in the energy sector, particularly off-grid renewable energy, health care, water and sanitation, agriculture, and education sectors. The common themes of innovations in business models and technologies will be drawn from these case study reviews to guide researchers in developing new entrepreneurial approaches to addressing the UN SDGs.
