Authors:   All-Russian Plant Quarantine Center, Sinitsyna E.V. , Fedoseev N.Z. ,   All-Russian Plant Quarantine Center
Published: April 2023

The article presents the results of testing two different types of pheromone traps for catching a dangerous quarantine pest — the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys in the North Caucasus conditions. The data showed that the use of a small (hanging) accumulative pyramid shaped trap in hazelnut planting allowed increasing the catches of adults of Halyomorpha halys by 94 % and nymphs by 75 %, in comparison with a large (ground) accumulative pyramid shaped trap. During the trial, the conditions under which the pests nymphs and adults were actively caught in pheromone traps were determined. The main catch of nymphs — 83 % was fixed at temperatures from +20 to +25 °C, while 52 % adults — at +25...+ 30 °C. The percentage of adults and nymphs of the brown marmorated stink bug caught in the traps was about the same level and amounted to 53 % and 47 %, respectively.

Published: April 2023

Research during the Covid-19 pandemic established significant negative mental health consequences for individuals across the globe. However, the impact of the pandemic on interpersonal functioning has yet to be established. Additionally, little research has examined the impact on interpersonal functioning across the types of relationships. This study addresses this gap and explores the quality of family functioning, parent-child relationships, and partner/spouse relationships, one-year post-lifting of lockdown restrictions. Telephone interviews were administered to 100 individuals examining health and mental health functioning; sociodemographic characteristics, household composition, quality and nature of family functioning, parent-child, and partner/spouse relationships.  Those who experienced a family member contracting covid-19 reported significant impairment in family functioning, while those experiencing increased levels of stress reported significant impairment, particularly related to parent-child and partner/spouse relationships. Findings also indicate that women experience greater impairment in the partner/spouse relationship than men.

Authors: Fahmi Hisyam
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the variations in land cover in Batu City, East Java Province, Indonesia, utilizing a patch-based classification strategy and deep learning. This study provides a preliminary estimation of land cover change in Batu City. The research also highlights the possibility of using deep learning techniques to analyze land use and land cover (LULC) variations in other urban areas with greater precision and efficiency. The EuroSAT dataset is used to train a classification model for patch labeling using the ResNet-50 architecture. Comparing the land cover of Batu City in 2001 and 2022 allows us to detect LULC changes, with almost 50% of the patch changing. The results indicate that ‘Housing’ and ‘Road’ become the most changed categories, while the vegetation areas decrease in number. The results demonstrate that the ResNet-50 architecture is capable of classifying patches and detecting LULC changes with an accuracy of 88% and an execution time of approximately 126.53 seconds.

Published: April 2023

The incidental discovery of pancreatic cysts in asymptomatic patients is on the rise due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging. The challenge in the management of pancreatic cysts is in distinguishing those with malignant potentials, like mucinous pancreatic cysts, from non-mucinous cysts that have negligible malignant potentials. Similarly, it can be difficult to identify mucinous cysts that harbour high-grade dysplasia or early cancer. This review focuses on the recent advances in detecting pancreatic cancer and cysts with premalignant potential.

Published: April 2023

Sex ratio is a crucial demographic parameter for the viability of natural populations, and it is commonly balanced in Neotropical freshwater fish species. This study investigated the sexual proportion of yellow-mandi Pimelodus maculatus in the Upper Uruguay River basin, southern Brazil, between 2000 and 2019. Fish were captured at different sites in a proportion of 2,018 females and 995 males. The total length ranged from 14 to 60 cm for females (31.8 ± 6.8 cm) and 13 to 45 cm for males (26.7 ± 13.6 cm). The frequency of females was higher from class 27 to 51 cm (P < 0.05), with a mean female:male sex ratio of 2.05:1, whereas a 1:1 sex ratio was found in fish shorter than 27 cm. The most important predictor explaining the dominance of females was the length, followed by year, site, and environment. Females are larger and live five years longer than males and they can become more abundant. This disparity in lifespan between females and males, the life history, and social and environmental factors may be associated with the female-biased sex ratio in P. maculatus population of the Uruguay River Basin.

Published: April 2023

Program pro-poor growth (program pembangunan ekonomi yang berihak kepada penduduk miskin) belum efektif mengurangi kemiskinan di Papua karena pemerintah tidak memiliki informasi lengkap mengenai faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kemiskinan menurut variasi wilayah (spatial heterogeneity). Oleh karena itu, studi ini akan menganalisis faktor-faktor tersebut dengan menggunakan model Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Studi ini menemukan pengaruh luas lahan yang diusahakan, penggunaan irigasi teknis, sumber air minum, dan listrik terhadap kemiskinan bervariasi secara spasial. Sementara itu, multivariate K-means clustering menunjukkan kecamatan mengelompok menurut kondisi geografis. Ini menyiratkan bahwa intervensi pengentasan kemiskinan seharusnya berbeda untuk wilayah berbeda.

Sensomotorische Konzepte in politischen Diskursen aus kontrastiv-linguistischer Perspektive
Authors: Mayr Paul
Published: April 2023

Sensorische und motorische Konzepte stellen zwei zentrale Kategorien der menschlichen Kognition dar und sind daher, wie Studien aus dem Bereich der kognitiven Linguistik belegen, im lexikalischen Inventar vieler Sprachen fest verankert. Wahrnehmungsausdrücke übernehmen im Sprachgebrauch verschiedene pragmatisch-diskursive Funktionen, sie fungieren z.B. häufig als Diskursmarker. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich jedoch mit der persuasiven Funktion sensomotorischer Lexeme im politischen Diskurs. Ziel dieser rein qualitativen Studie ist es, Übersetzungsstrategien des rhetorischen Potenzials bestimmter sensomotorischer Konzepte, das sich aus dem Zusammenspiel von Lexikon und Morphosyntax ergibt, auf der Grundlage des EUROPARL-Korpus aus kontrastiv-linguistischer Perspektive zu untersuchen. Das Spanische fungiert in unserer Untersuchung als Ausgangssprache, während die Zielsprachen zum einen die "romanischen Schwestersprachen" Französisch und Italienisch und zum anderen eine typologisch entferntere Sprache, das Deutsche, darstellen.

Authors: Syamsuddin Syamsuddin , Putra Rizky Anugrah , Wulansari Annisah
Published: April 2023

This research investigates how the naming of locations in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia describes the geographical and social conditions in the local area. After the earthquake and tsunami on September 28 2018, in Palu, considerable geographical studies have desired to discover the causality of this catastrophic natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, behind it all, the Kaili tribe, an indigenous tribe on the mainland of Central Sulawesi, believes that several areas in Palu are unfit for habitation because of the history of natural events that have occurred. They sketch this information using toponymy that modern society has often ignored. Moreover, acculturation and globalization have made people overlook local culture and history. The present study operated a different perspective to reveal that the toponymic naming in the Palu area. Those toponyms are derived from the Kaili language reflecting geographical conditions, history and vegetation. The researcher discovered that based on ethnolinguistic fact, several zones were the hotspots of the worst earthquakes and liquefactions and reflected in several toponyms that today's society has forgotten. Using ethnosemantics tracing, historical, and geographical observation and involving cultural and indigenous figures, the researcher answered this phenomenon based on evidence. The implications and results of the findings of this study will be discussed further in the discussion section.

Published: April 2023

The issue of Differentiated Instruction (DI) has recently attracted the attention of scholars and practitioners because of its immense significance and many opportunities to enhance student learning. In this regard, the current study aims to contribute a small summary of DI in the context of EFL to provide context and illustrate the need to implement DI in the classroom to ensure that students learn languages successfully. Since differentiated instruction puts students at the center of teaching and learning, encourages equality and academic achievement, and acknowledges student diversity, it encourages teachers to be aware of individual needs, interests, skills, English proficiency levels, and students’ preferred learning strategies. Although some challenges may occur such as time-consuming and pressure on teachers in implementing DI, this approach has advantages that can affect students' learning processes, future learning attitudes, and future success. So, the learning process provides many opportunities when the teacher is committed to differentiated instruction.

Authors: Warsidi Warsidi , Syakila Siti Nurul , Dahniar Dahniar
Published: April 2023

Pragmatic studies have been widely conducted, but speech acts on motivational speeches were rarely investigated. Moreover, functions of illocutionary speech acts are received very limited scholarly attention. These gaps have been encouraging the researchers to conduct the present to analyze speech acts contained in Oprah Winfrey’s motivational speeches with two purposes. First, it is to identify the forms of illocutionary speech acts in Oprah's motivational speech. Second, it also determines the function of illocutionary speech acts in Oprah's motivational speech. It employed a qualitative and quantitative method for the analysis. Then, in collecting data, it used note-taking as an instrument. In this regard, we watched and listened to five motivational videos of Oprah Winfrey’s speeches four times, and then took notes of any utterances containing forms and functions of illocutionary speech acts. Then, for analyzing data, we classified the forms of speech acts using a theory from Searle (1969) and functions of speech acts employing an analytical framework from Leech (1993). The results show various forms and functions in delivering a motivational speech. However, most speech acts in the videos tend to be assertive rather than the others, and concerning functions, they tend to be collaborative. The reason behind these dominances is discussed in this paper.

Background: Although it can affect all groups, vaginitis remains one of the most common ambulatory problems to occur in women of reproductive age group. It accounts for 5-10 million office visits per year throughout world. In India prevalence of vaginitis is approximately 30%. Vaginitis has substantial impact on various aspects of female reproductive health, mental health, work ability and routine physical activity. It is also associated with various obstetrical and gynecological complications. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is common form of vaginitis. So, we aim to find out prevalence and analyze risk factors associated with vulvovaginal candidiasis at tertiary care hospital in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh India. Method: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shyam Shah Medical College Rewa for 18 months from January 2021 to June 2022 on 1000 women of reproductive age group, visiting routine Gynae OPD of department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Results: Prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis in present study was found to be 12%. Various associated risk factors were OCP use, use of cloth during menses, douching/cleanliness habit, rural area of residence, middle and lower socioeconomic class and various occupations like factory workers and farmers. Conclusion: As it is evident that vaginitis will never be completely prevented, but incidence can be reduced. Much of the morbidity and complications can be reduced by identification and prevention of modifiable risk factors and interventional strategies directed mainly on high-risk behaviors in day-to-day life.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to present our centerâ€™s experience with the endovascular treatment inaortic coarctation with a follow-up of 10 years. Background: Stent implantation has been evolved as an important therapeutic strategy for coarctation of the aorta. However, available data is frequently flawed by short follow up, retrospective data and disparity in the approach. Methods: Clinical data, imaging studies and angiographic outcomes of 24 patients treated for CoA were reviewed between january 2007 to december2018. We included native diagnosed aortic coarctation (NCO) and recurrent coarctation. Results: There were 57% male patients and 43% female with a mean age of 26+/- 11 years. 90% of patients had NCO and 10% had re-coarctation after surgical repair in childhood (21+/- 4years after initial repair). Endovascular treatment was performed using BMS (PalmazGenesis peripheral stent, Cordis) in 71% of cases. Covered stent (mounted covered CP stent; Numed) was placed in 2 patients. One patient was treated by balloon angioplasty. Acute procedural success had reached 92% in our series with a technical failure in 2 cases. Mean lesion length and diameter were respectively 15,3+/-11,9 mm and 7,2+/- 2,7mm. Mean systolic pressure gradient decreased from 51,4 +/- 20,4 mm Hg to 7,7Â±10 mmHg (P < 0,05). After a mean follow-up of 60 +/- 38 months, the blood pressure profile was evaluated. the CT scan showed a local aortic wallanevrysms in 1 patient (4.1%). Surgical intervention was needed in 2 patients forrecoarctationand aortic valve replacement. Conclusion: Percutaneous aortic coarctation treatment is effective with an acceptable safety and a good long-termoutcome. Therefore, patients require regular clinical and radiological monitoring tobalance blood pressure, look for local aortic wall complications and assess associated lesions such as aortic bicuspid valve and ascending aorta dimension.

In this empirical study, author tries to scrutinize the formation, flow of the local budget in Uzbekistan. However, in world practice, it is emphasized that it is appropriate to follow the following principles when attaching taxes to the budget in accordance with the criteria for ensuring economic efficiency: a) Taxes assigned to the republican budget should be considered taxes with a high multiplier effect in the system of macroeconomic regulation of the countrys economy b) The system of income distribution between different social strata of the population and progressive taxes regulating income inequality should be included as a source of income of the Republic budget c) Taxes based on a strong disproportion in the distribution of the tax base are not highly effective in the policy of vertical equalization of sub-budgets. Therefore, it is recommended to attach such taxes as a source of revenue for the central government budget d) Naturally, in the system of vertical equalization for local budgets, the tax base of highly effective taxes should not be highly mobile and should be relatively evenly distributed across regions. Based on these principles, continuation of the policy of attaching taxes to local budgets will, first of all, create opportunities to ensure their financial stability by strengthening the revenue base of local budgets.

Splenic hydatidosis is a rare disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Here, we report a case of a 68-year-old patient with a single splenic hydatid cyst, discovered incidentally on an ultrasound. The patient presented with left upper quadrant pain, but was otherwise asymptomatic. Imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of a 13.7 x 14.3 x 11.6 cm splenic hydatid cyst. The patient underwent a puncture-aspiration-injection and reaspiration (PAIR) procedure with scolicidal agents and drainage, which confirmed the presence of viable scolex. The patient was then treated with albendazole, which led to a significant clinical and radiological improvement.

Background: Inblood transfusion related thalassemia patients, high iron state is observed because of regular blood transfusion. Our body has limited mechanism to excrete iron, excess of iron gets deposited in various organs causing their dysfunction. To prevent the complication associated with this iron overload use of iron chelators becomes important in management of such patients. Aims /Objectives: 1.To determine effectiveness of deferasirox, an oral iron chelator to decrease iron overload in reference to serum ferritin level in blood transfusion dependent pediatric thalassemia patients. 2.To determine effectiveness of deferasirox in reducing iron deposition induced organ damage. Methods: This is a hospital based retrospective observationalstudy conducted on 80 blood transfusion dependent thalassemia patients admitted in tertiary care hospital. Data was collected in pre-designed case record sheets after taking consent from parents. Results:in the present study the mean age was 7.12 years for females and 10.93 years for males. The mean of pre and post blood transfusion hemoglobin was significantly higher (7.07 and 10.76 respectively). The mean blood transfusion days are 26.33. Mean annual blood requirement is 198.99. Mean drop rate is 1.02. On comparing mean ferritin levels, there was a significant difference between baseline (711.81), start of deferasirox treatment (1271.71) and the end of 2nd dose increment of deferasirox (2076.11). The mean ferritin decreased significantly after starting deferasirox (from 1360.03 to 1271.71) by the end of1stdose increment (from 1832.41 to 1696.75) by the end of 2nd dose increment (from 2097.32 to 2076.11) , but when we compare mean ferritin after end of 2nddose increment of deferasirox (2076.11) with6 month back mean ferritin (2506) or current mean ferritin (2514.90) there is increase in ferritin.Mean blood transfusions at start of deferasirox is (11.025), at 1st dose increment is (26.13), at 2nd dose increment is (42.12).There were no organ complications seen with the present population at the end of the study Conclusion: from the results of our study, we state that using deferasirox as oral iron chelator in blood transfusion dependent pediatric thalassemia patients helps in reducing iron overload till we reach maximum dose of oral deferasirox but beyond that there is significant increase in serum ferritin level,thereby necessitating use of another iron chelator along with oral deferasirox(either deferoxamine, deferiprone or some new iron chelator),. Also in this study it is observed that there is no iron deposition related significant organ damage.
