The objective of the current study was to determine the influence of market type and sampling time on Salmonella and Listeria prevalence and bacterial counts of 180 whole chicken carcasses collected from 6 supermarkets (SM), 6 indoor markets (IM), and 6 open markets (OM) in Vietnam, at opening (T0) and 4 h after the opening (T4). Salmonella and Listeria prevalence was at least 25.6% and 42.7%, respectively. Whole birds in IM had greater Salmonella prevalence than birds from both SM and OM by 28.4% and 23.0% (P = 0.006 and 0.022, respectively). Listeria prevalence was lower in whole chickens from SM, at 56.6%, than those in IM and OM (78.6% and 73.2%, P = 0.024 and 0.089, respectively). Whole chicken carcasses had more than 10.1, 7.5, and 9.4 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g of aerobic bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and coliforms, respectively. Both E. coli and coliform counts were greater in IM than in SM (P = 0.002 and 0.006). However, only E. coli counts differed between SM (7.7 log CFU/g) and OM (8.3 log CFU/g; P = 0.024). These results highlighted high levels of bacteria and high prevalence of Salmonella and Listeria in whole chickens in retail establishments in Vietnam, posing potential food safety and public health risks.

The objective. To assess the dynamics of the epidemic process of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in Russia and the Northwest Federal Region for the period 2015–2020. Materials and methods. The article analyzes the data from the state statistical reporting of infectious diseases in the Russian Federation (RF), from the reference-center for the monitoring of viral hepatitis, from statistical tables compiled at Methodological and Research Center for Epidemiological Surveillance of Viral Hepatitis under Pasteur Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. The data from the Federal register of patients with viral hepatitis were used.Results. The epidemiological indicators for 2020 should be interpreted taking into account the implementation of anti-epidemic measures for COVID-19 in the context of a pandemic. In 2015–2019, CHC incidence in the RF decreased by 18% (from 38o⁄oooo to 30,9o⁄oooo). For 2020 — by 46% (up to 16,7o⁄oooo). The total number of people with CHC is increasing (in 2015 — 562 622 people, in 2019 — 635 372). There is no clear downward trend in the dynamics of changes in the mortality rate from causes associated with HCV in the RF and the Northwestern Federal Region. The impact of the pandemic on mortality in HCV infection remains to be assessed. In 2019 in Russia, only 8,6% of patients on the register are covered by treatment. In 2020, according to preliminary data, treatment coverage was less than 1% of the estimated number of people with HCV infection (3 million). СHC incidence in the Northwest Federal Region decreased by less than 15% (48o⁄oooo — in 2019, 56,2o⁄oooo — in 2015), for 2020 — by 41% (up to 28,2o⁄oooo). Incidence is 1,5 times higher than in the RF on average. The total number of people with СHC is increasing (in 2015 — 92 780, in 2020 — 106 052). Few people with viral hepatitis know about their diagnosis (35% HCV-infected persons). Government funding for treatment has increased, but only 3% is covered by therapy. In the Northwestern Federal Region, as in the RF, the WHO strategy targets have not been achieved by 2020. The sharp decline in basic epidemiological indicators for 2020 is most likely due to a decrease in the number of patients seeking outpatient care and screening during the implementation of anti-epidemic measures for COVID-19.
A case of desmoid tumor-induced external iliac vein compression misidentified as deep vein thrombosis
Authors: Koh Chan-Young
Published: October 2021

Desmoid tumor, also known as desmoid-type fibromatosis, is a rare, intermediate, locally aggressive tumor with a high possibility of local infiltration and recurrence, potentially leading to life-threatening problems. We report a case of a 15-year-old girl who visited the emergency department with a 1-week history of the left leg swelling. A point-of-care ultrasound on the leg showed dilated left femoral and popliteal veins. Subsequently, a computed tomography venogram demonstrated a large pelvic mass compressing the left external iliac vein. She underwent tumor resection, and was uneventfully discharged on day 12.
Synergistic phase behaviors of phytosterols and phytosterol esters in medium chain triglycerides
Authors: Zhou Shuai , Sun Yue , Wang Yong , Jiang Yuanrong
Published: October 2021

Free phytosterols (PS) and phytosterol esters (PSE) usually coexist in
natural oils, which significantly affect the crystallization behavior of
oil. However, the phase behaviors of PS/PSE mixtures in oils and their
roles on the crystallization behavior of oil are still unclear. In this
study, the dissolution and crystallization behaviors of PS/PSE mixtures
in medium chain triglyceride (MCT) were studied, and the synergistic
mechanism of PS/PSE mixtures on the crystallization behaviors of MCT was
further clarified. The results showed that when the mass ratio of PS:
PSE was greater than 3: 7, PS/PSE mixtures recrystallized a new
urchin-like crystal structure, which was different from PS spherical or
PSE plate-like crystal structure, in MCT. The new urchin-like PS/PSE
crystal had a larger surface area, and its melting point was between PS
and PSE. It also showed the synergistic ability to promote the
crystallization nucleation of MCT. When the total content of PS and PSE
was 1 wt%, and the mass ratio of PS: PSE was 5: 5, the crystallization
peak temperature of PS/PSE/MCT was 12 ºC higher than that of virgin MCT,
2.5 ºC higher than that of PSE/MCT, and 10.3 ºC higher than that of
PS/MCT. These results not only provide a method for obtaining new
crystal structure of phytosterols, but also have great significance for
controlling the crystallization behaviors of oils by precisely adjusting
the nutritional composition of oils.

The most essential thing in mathematics is proof, it makes mathematics being different with other subjects. One of subject in mathematics that always need prove to understand the concept is abstract algebra. In studying abstract algebra, student need various abstract concepts to include in its concepts. It is hard for student to understand the structures in abstract algebra and prove some of mathematical object that satisfy the structures. Group and its properties is the first structure in abstract algebra that has an abstract concept. It is hard for student to understand some objects, that is proven satisfy a structure and why the proof steps just flow. By giving explanation and reason in every proofing step, we try to increase student proving level and reduce the abstraction level of the concepts. To see how this module reduces the abstraction level in teaching group, this module is applied to university students and evaluated by interviewing and questionnaires to the students. Base on student response and by some perspectives, student proving ability increase and the abstraction level of the concept is diminished in some aspects.
Gender-Based Violence in Moroccan Folktales
Authors: Zahra Touzani Fatima
Published: October 2021

Men in Morocco have always employed many strategies whereby they have established their domination over women. Their patriarchal tendencies have proven incommensurable with the discourse of wisdom they purport to advocate. Accordingly, they have had to concoct elaborate stories and excuses to actualize their proclivities. Patriarchal hegemony has manifested itself in different ways and resulted in many phenomena, the most influential of which is undoubtedly violence against women that is predominant in the domestic sphere and the public sphere. This omnipresence accentuates through its portrayal in popular culture, including proverbs and folktales. Since folktales encapsulate a culture’s inherited customs, traditions, and values, this article’s primary concern is to investigate whether Moroccan folktales represent the logic dictated by Moroccan patriarchal institutions, aiming at reinforcing the oppression of women through violence. Specifically, the article seeks to address the representations of violence against women in folktales collected by Inea Bushnaq and Malika El Ouali Alami. The findings in this article prove that Moroccan folktales validate the Moroccan cultural norms that highlight the position of women as subordinate characters ready to follow the rules of patriarchal institutions. A recurrent theme throughout these tales is Gender-Based Violence. Thus, this article attempts to demonstrate the representations of GBV in Bushnaq’s and Alami’s tales.

The scientific article is devoted to the study of the purpose of monetary policy of the central banks of the EU member states. The legislation of the European Union, the member states of the European Union (Germany, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain), as well as the United Kingdom, which left the EU, modern approaches in the science of constitutional and administrative law to determine the monetary policy of central banks EU members. The concept of the purpose of the monetary policy of the Central Banks of the EU member states, the activities and instruments of monetary policy, the functions of the central bank of the EU member state are distinguished. Emphasis is placed on the following regulatory functions of central banks that exist in legal doctrine: 1) management of aggregate money turnover; 2) regulation of the monetary sphere; 3) regulation of supply and demand for credit. The focus is on the fact that the central banks of the EU member states support purchasing power, as well as on the well-known fact: inflation - the slope of financial policy is recognized in economic theory as the most effective. Ensuring the stability of the currency (conducting open market operations or establishing exchange rate policies or reserve requirements, etc.) is a function of the central bank of the state, not the purpose of its activities. The stability of the national unit is also a function of the central bank of the state. It is established that the main purpose of the monetary policy of the central banks of the EU member states is to ensure price stability. In addition, it is argued that this is the inflationary - inclination of financial policy is the most effective. Accounting policy, interest rate policy, regulation of reserve requirements, money supply, open market operations and credit operations, interest rates, reserve requirements of banks are the activities and instruments of monetary policy of central banks. members of the EU, not the purpose of monetary policy.
Characteristics of the Scandinavian model of legal regulation of labor relations (on the example of Iceland)
Authors: D.O. Dmytrenko
Published: October 2021

This article considers scandinavian legal regulation of labor relation on the example of Iceland. The author analysed the basic laws governing labor relations, and concluded that Icelandic labor law works in conjunction with collective agreements. The rules and conditions of collective agreement are more adapted to specific types of organisations, unlike legislation rules of which applies to all types of organisations. Collective agreements are binding for all parties to the agreement, regardless of whether they are organizations or individuals. The responsibility for the company lie with employers’ confederations, trade unions and employees, that’s why the state doesn’t interfere in regulation of wages, working conditions and social protection, because they are mainly guaranteed by collective agreements, not by legislation. Labor disputes in Iceland are divided into “disputes of law” and “disputes of interest” and have different resolution mechanisms. “Disputes of law” concern the interpretation or application of the provisions of labor law: differences in the meaning of the statutes; provisions of individual employment contracts; provisions of collective agreements; and other legally binding provisions. “Disputes of interest” concern the establishment of new laws by agreeing on the contradictory content of collective agreements, working conditions etc. There are two stages of Icelandic procedure of labor disputes : 1) negotiations; 2) trial. Icelandic Labor Court is an integral part of the corporate structure of labor market. Labor Court is responsible for setting and creation of case law and balance industrial relations system and labor law. Another important role in Icelandic labor market is played by trade unions. By signing collective agreements with employers’ organisations trade unions strength labor market and provide employees with better working conditions that are more adapted to specified categories of industries.
Principle of equality of subjects of land ownership: problems of legal regulation
Authors: Kostyashkin I.O. , Briginets О.О.
Published: October 2021

The formation of new subjects of land ownership in Ukraine undoubtedly requires the formation of a modern mechanism for legal support of such entities, coordination of their interests both among themselves and with state and self-governing institutions that ensure land protection and protection of land rights property. Therefore, at the present stage of reforming land ownership relations, the content of the principle of equality of subjects of land ownership acquires special significance. The presented work analyzes the relationship between land ownership of the Ukrainian people and other subjects of ownership, the results of which concluded that the principle of equality can not be applied to the Ukrainian people as a subject of land ownership because the ownership of the people applies to all lands within the state border of Ukraine. The article develops the provisions of scientific research that considers the right of ownership of the land of the Ukrainian people as a primary and absolute right that applies to all lands of Ukraine. The peculiarities of exercising the right of ownership within certain forms are also revealed, which differs in a number of key criteria: functional purpose, mechanism of acquisition and realization, order of termination. Therefore, it is concluded that the subjects of land ownership (certain legal forms) have a slightly different scope of rights in the exercise of certain powers, due to the different level of public and private interests. Considerable attention is paid to the equality of subjects of land ownership, which is realized through legal mechanisms of protection of property rights, and is reflected at the level of the Constitution of Ukraine on protection of rights of all subjects of property rights, inadmissibility of illegal deprivation of property Code of Ukraine, on non-interference of the state in the exercise of citizens, legal entities and territorial communities of their rights to own, use and dispose of land. Attention is paid to ensuring the right to protection of land, which applies equally to all subjects of land ownership.

Seed Source Effects on Germination, Growth, and Yield of Carrots Under Natural Farming
Authors: Katsu You , Kato Kotaro , Abe Shuji , Miyazawa Kae
Published: October 2021

Natural farming is a type of low-input sustainable agricultural system that is characterized by the avoidance of the use of any animal materials. Production of self-produced seeds by farmers is recommended under natural farming environments, with an expectation of improved crop growth and yield. However, there have been no scientific studies that investigated the performance of self-produced seeds under natural farming. This study investigated the germination rate, growth, and yield of carrots (Daucus carota L.) from different seed sources under natural farming. The main experimental factor was the cultivation method: CT – control; CF – conventional farming; NF1 – natural farming with tillage and compost input; and NF2 – natural farming without tillage and compost, and the subfactor was the seed source: OPN – open-pollinated seeds self-produced under natural farming; OPC – open-pollinated seeds produced under conventional farming; and HB – hybrid seeds. The germination rate of OPN seeds was higher than that of other seeds. In addition, root fresh weight and other root parameters of OPN were as high as for HB seeds. This suggests that using self-produced seeds by farmers improves crop performance in a natural farming system.
Boycott or Buycott: The Aftermath of Corporate Activism
Authors: Warren Nooshin L.
Published: October 2021

Some stakeholders, notably investors, might be worried that debatable activism interferes with the goal of making profits. Therefore, they might react negatively to corporate activism. On average, there was a half percent dip in stock prices as companies engaged in activism. However, if the activism was aligned with a company´s stakeholders’ values, stock prices increased. The effect for customer and legislators was stronger than for employees. Misalignment with all three groups accounted for the highest loss. Brand activism aligned with consumers political ideologies, further increased sales, and the positive effects were persistent, over time.

To be successful, companies should carefully select their engagements to avoid being punished. When deciding whether to engage in controversial activism, they should have a closer look at key stakeholders, such as customers, regulators, and employees.

Published: October 2021

Despite the routinely conducted treatment and maintenance of garden plant collection, the monthly mortality figures of the Cibodas Botanic Gardens (CBG) plant collections remain significant. It is presumed that the microclimate has a crucial influence on plant survivorship in the field. This study aimed to analyze the effect of microclimate conditions on the mortality rate of the CBG plant collection. The study was conducted by correlating the number of mortal plants with CBG monthly microclimatic conditions from 2017 to 2018. The analyzed microclimate parameters were temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind velocity, and solar radiation. The multiple regression modeling, t-test, and Pearson correlation test (r) were utilized to measure the level of significance of the correlation (α = 0.05). The findings were shown that the maximum wind velocity was the primary unit correlated to the number of mortality. The correlation was strong positive (r = 68.8%), and significant (p-value α). We suggested anticipating the disadvantages influences of strong wind supported by other extreme microclimate units, such as heavy rain. These events frequently caused high damage to the tree and other plant collections. These are expected to be taken into a consideration by the CBG operator and management in order to forecast and mitigate the risks of future plant collection losses.

Role of Integrative Oncology and Palliative Care Services in Improving Comfort Level and Compliance among Patients with Advanced Fungating Breast Cancer – Experience from a Rural Hospital of North Eastern India during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dutta Samrat , Ishore Kaushik , Ghoshal Arunangshu
Published: October 2021

Objectives:

Malignant fungating breast cancers are a definite challenge to treatment due to limited knowledge and prevailing distressing symptoms. Various treatment protocols with regard to radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy have been reported in the literature but the knowledge of proper integration of these regimes with effective palliative care nursing care, particularly in resource poor settings, is not well understood. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess the change in the degree of comfort achieved before and after treatment of these fungating breast cancer wounds along with issues regarding compliance to such treatment in a peripheral rural medical college hospital.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 20 patients were selected from the medical records files of the RT department of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital who were registered and treated during the period 1 June 2019– 31 July 2021. Palliative care nursing of malodour, bleeding, maggots, pain and assessment of psychological parameters was done based on the 11-point revised Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale at the beginning and at each subsequent follow-up visits. Patients were also individualised for receiving palliative RT, chemotherapy, surgery and hormone therapy based on their clinicodemographic profiles. Informed consent was taken from all patients and every treatment was in accordance with the ethical permissions as sought from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Statistical analysis was done based on descriptive statistics and SPSS version 22.

Results:

Median follow-up was 13 months. Overall, there was a significant improvement in comfort and well-being as assessed by paired t-test before and after treatment (paired t-test = 16.548; P = 0.000). However, there was no significant correlation with palliative radiation dose and schedule as per spearman’s correlation coefficient. The mean radiation dose was BED 48.56 Gy3 (EQD2 = 29.3 Gy3) and the median number of fractions used was 10. Almost 50% of patients were noncompliant to treatment and this might be attributed to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic situation. There was maximum relief with regard to bleeding control (100%), malodour dissipation (76.9%) and control of maggots infestation (71%) and these results were also found to be strongly associated with treatment as per analysis done by Chi-square test of difference of proportions.

Conclusion:

Effective comfort can be achieved with proper judicious combination of palliative care nursing and other oncological treatment such as radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.
Traumatic brain injury and the fall of the Aztec empire: 500 years of head injury diagnosis
Authors: Ramos-Zúñiga Rodrigo , González-Rios Jorge Alberto , Martin-Monzón Isabel
Published: October 2021

Background:

The Aztec civilization has been one of the most powerful and organized cultures in the pre-Columbian era in America. Its fall was due to many factors, including the incursion of Spanish colonization and its violent transculturation, associated with the strong influence of its theological traditions and beliefs, which generated a new configuration in its social structure.

Methods:

Through a qualitative analysis and a systematic review based on the keywords Montezuma and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), we found 70 texts of interest, of which 32 were selected for their anthropological and medical content and their relationship with the history of neurosurgery.

Results:

The traumatic brain injury (TBI) controversy and its consequences on this leader’s decision-making capacity and personal and social repercussions is evident. There are basically two versions of the story. That of the TBI was caused by his own people, and the other is the death due to injuries caused by the Spaniards. Historical texts that confirm these findings are presented.

Conclusion:

There is documentary evidence of TBI in the Aztec emperor, which partly explains his decision making behavior in the face of the invading Europeans. However, there is no forensic evidence to determine the causes of his death,
