Для стимулирования эмбриогенеза неопыленные семяпочки огурца подвергают различным видам обработки. Чаще всего, используют термический шок, вызванный повышенными положительными температурами. Ученые изучавшие этот фактор, отмечают, что применение в течении 2-4 дней температурной обработки 35°С, способствует повышению индукции эмбриогенеза от 6,2 до 89,4% по сравнению с контролем.
УСТОЙЧИВОСТЬ AGROBACTERIUM RADIOBACTER 204 К РАЗЛИЧНОМУ УРОВНЮ КОНЦЕНТРАЦИИ СОЛЕЙ
Authors: Грицевич К.С. , Абдурашитов С.Ф.
Published: September 2024

Засоленность представляет собой постоянную угрозу урожайности, особенно в странах, где орошение является важным подспорьем в сельском хозяйстве. Хотя устойчивость растений к засолению различна, виды сельскохозяйственных культур, как правило, не переносят одну треть концентрации солей, содержащихся в морской воде. Попытки улучшить солеустойчивость сельскохозяйственных культур с помощью обычных программ селекции имели очень ограниченный успех из-за сложности признака: солеустойчивость сложна генетически и физиологически. Таким образом, поиск симбиотических микроорганизмов влияющие на устойчивость растений к солям и засухе, является актуальной задачей.

Мужской гаметофит растений (пыльцевое зерно и пыльцевая трубка) обеспечивает доставку мужских гамет к месту оплодотворения. Рост пыльцевой трубки сопровождается отложением нового материала клеточной стенки в ее кончике, что приводит к увеличению ее длины. Полагают, что арабиногалактаны могут функционировать в процессах сигнализации, связанных с организацией роста пыльцевой трубки. Арабиногалактаны могут действовать как сорецепторы для восприятия внеклеточных сигналов и взаимодействовать с трансмембранными белками, возможно, рецепторными киназами или ионными каналами, чтобы инициировать сигнализацию запуска различных внутриклеточных событий.

Если и есть районы в некоторых странах мира примерно с таким же годовым количеством осадков, то, как правило, за период вегетации яровой твердой пшеницы там их выпадает все же больше, чем в нашем регионе.
The Art of Resonance
Authors: Bogart Anne
Published: September 2024

What is artistic resonance and how can it be linked to one’ life and one’s art?

This latest book of essays from legendary theatre director Anne Bogart, considers the creation of resonance in the artistic endeavour, with a focus on the performing arts.

The word ‘resonance’ comes from the Latin meaning to ‘re-sound’ or ‘sound together’. From music to physics, resonance is a common thread that evokes a response and, in general, is understood as a quality that makes something personally meaningful and valuable.

For Bogart, curiosity is a key personal quality to be nurtured throughout life and that very same curiosity, as an artist, thinker and human being.

Creating pathways between performance theory, art history, neuroscience, music, architecture and the visual arts, and consistently forging new thought-paths, the writing draws upon Anne Bogart’s own life and artistic journeys to illuminate potent philosophical ideas.

Woven with personal anecdotes, stories and reflections, this is a book that will be of interest to any theatre artist and anyone who reflects on the power of the arts, of theatre-making and what it means to be engaged in the artistic process.
Staging Shakespeare
Authors: Kulick Brian
Published: September 2024

This book begins with a phone call. You answer it and learn that you got the job. Several months from now you’re going to stage a Shakespeare play. Now … what do you do? I mean, what do you do after that initial burst of adrenaline has passed through your body and you realize you haven’t a clue as to what the play is really about, or what you might want to do with it? How exactly do you prepare for such an equally wonderful and daunting task?

This is the central question of this book. It grows out of decades of preparing for Shakespeare productions and watching others do the same. It will save you some of the panic, wasted time, and fruitless paths experienced. It guides you through the crucial period of preparation and helps focus on such issues as:
What Shakespeare’s life, work, and world can tell usWhat patterns to look for in the textWhat techniques might help unpack Shakespeare’s verseWhat approaches might unlock certain hidden meaningsWhat literary lenses might bring things into sharper focusWhat secondary sources might lead to a broader contextual understandingWhat thought experiments might aid in visualizing the play

Ultimately, this book draws back the curtain and shows how the antique machinery of Shakespeare’s theatre works. The imaginative time span begins from the moment you learn that on such and such date you will begin rehearsing such and such Shakespeare play. Our narrative clock starts ticking the moment you put down the phone and stops when you arrive at the rehearsal hall and begin your first table read. So much of what will be the success or failure of a director’s project rests on this work that is done before rehearsals even begin.
“Speak Well of Me”
Authors: Robinson W. Sydney
Published: September 2024

During his lifetime (1934-2020) Sir Ronald Harwood gained acclaim as one of Britain's foremost playwrights and screenplay writers. Released in paperback with a new foreword from Lady Antonia Fraser and reflections from those who worked with him, Speak Well of Me is the authorised biography of his life, covering the work that established his reputation and the life that he famously drew upon so extensively in his writing.

His stage play The Dresser launched his career and brought him further success when he wrote the screenplay for which he was nominated for an Oscar. Approached by Roman Polanski to write the screenplay of The Pianist, Harwood achieved his greatest cinematic triumph with the film which starred Adrien Brody, Emelia Fox, Maureen Lipman and Ed Stoppard, winning the Palme D'Or and he being awarded the 2003 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. His screenplay of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly was another triumph, winning him a BAFTA and a further Oscar nomination.

Sürdürülebilir Diyet Modellerinin Depresyon ile İlişkisi: Derleme
Authors: TOKPUNAR Merve
Published: September 2024

Sürdürülebilir diyetler biyolojik çeşitlilik ve ekosistemleri koruyucu, beslenme açısından yeterli, erişilebilir, ekonomik olarak adil ve uygun fiyatlı diyetlerdir. Aynı zamanda kültürel olarak kabul edilebilir, güvenli ve sağlıklı olmalı; doğal kaynakları ve insan kaynaklarını en iyi şekilde kullanmalıdırlar. Sürdürülebilir diyet modelleri; Akdeniz diyeti, Nordik diyetleri, Vegan, Vejeteryan ve Peskateryan Diyetleri, Gezegen diyeti (semi vejeteryan diyet)’dir. Depresyon bir duygudurum bozukluğudur ve sıradan ruh hali dalgalanmalarından ve günlük hayattaki zorluklara verilen kısa süreli duygusal reaksiyonlardan farklıdır. Özellikle tekrarlayan ve orta şiddette veya şiddetli depresyon önemli bir sağlık sorunu durumuna gelebilir. Bitkisel kaynaklı sürdürülebilir diyet modellerinin depresif semptomlar ile ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. Akdeniz diyetinin B vitaminlerinden zengin olması sebebiyle homosistein döngüsünü devam ettirmesi, depresif semptomlar üzerinde pozitif etkiler göstermektedir. Akdeniz diyetinde fazla miktarda bulunan omega-3 yağ asitlerinin nörendokrin modülasyonu ve omega-3 yağ asitlerinin anti-inflamatuar etkileri depresyon üzerindeki iyileştirici mekanizmalarıdır. Vegan-vejeteryan diyetlerin B12 vitamin, çinko, omega-3 gibi besin öğeleri içeriğinin yetersiz olması depresif semptomlara neden olabilir. Nordik (İskandinav) ve Gezegen diyetinin depresif semptomlar üzerindeki etkileriyle ilgili daha fazla çalışma yapılması gerekmektedir.

Published: September 2024

The spinal cord is a major dose limiting organ in radiotherapy and it is unavoidably included in the treatment fields, injury to the spinal cord results in the destruction or impairment of its function which manifest from one to several years after treatment. It is an animal experimental study with a total of 20 adult albino Wistar rat weighing between 150g to 200g were used for this study. The animals were acquired from animal’s house at University of Port Harcourt and acclimatize for two weeks. In this results from this research work, there were notable damage to the spinal cord after being exposed to radiation at a given time. These damages includes; degenerations and reduction in number of motor neutrons, degeneration of pyramidal cells, depletion of cell cytoplasm, vacuolation were also observed in this rats belonging to group C and less motor neurons were seen. The exposure of high amount of radiation continually to the spinal cord damages the motor neurons of the corticospinal pathways where it caused cells degeneration leading to cell death. The death of the motor neurons would mean an impairment in the locomotive functions of the animal.

Beekeeping is an agricultural activity with contributions in the economic, social and ecological sphere in Mexico. Apis mellifera bees are prone to parasitosis such as the Varroa destructor mite that affect the production and development of colonies. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of the genotypes: Cordovan, Carniola, Caucasian and Africanized Hybrid on the infestation and natural control of Varroa. 20 hives were evaluated, divided into four groups according to their genotype. Comparative measurements were taken to determine percentages of infestation and consider the damage caused to the offspring by region. The data were analyzed with the generalized linear model methodology. Differences (p ≤ 0.05) were observed between genotypes for the average number of varroa/hive, where there was a greater sensitivity to infestation of the Carniola and Africanized Hybrid genotypes with respect to Cordovan and Caucasian. There were differences (p≤0.05) between genotypes on the percentage of damage caused to the mite. The Cordovan genotype had a level of specialization in the mite attack; mainly in the armor and legs. The damage was 29% and it was observed that the parasite's legs were involved, which does not allow it to remain on the bee. Likewise, this genotype had greater grooming behavior when mutilating the parasite. Damaging the shell and legs reduces the probability of survival.

With the objective of evaluating the effect of the bioinputs: Bio Optimize, Inoc-Rhizos, Microforte, Probio Fert and Humate K+, applied by atomization to soybean, bean and bean seeds, prior to sowing, independent trials were carried out with 300 g of seeds of each of the crops, where the treatments were derived from a 5x2+1 factorial arrangement, corresponding to bioinputs, doses, plus a control treatment. The randomized block design was used, four repetitions, the experimental unit consisting of a tray with 100 seeds. The germination percentage was quantified daily and the accumulated percentage with its respective germination speed index; similarly, the length of the hypocotyl and the diameter of the radicle. Data management and statistical analysis were carried out with InfoStat; the direct effects compared by Scott-Knott at 5%, the comparisons between the control and the other treatments, by Dunnett at 5%, and the significant interactions broken down and interpreted. Soybean seeds were more sensitive to treatment with bioinputs than bean and caraota seeds, observed in the germination percentage and the germination speed index. The best results were obtained with the bioinputs Humate K+ and Probio Fert. There was greater root development of bean and sweet bean seedlings. The application of doses of bioinputs higher than those recommended does not guarantee improvements in the germination variables of legumes and can cause harmful effects, as is the case with soybean seeds.

Published: September 2024

Aims: Determining the profiles of pediatric patients who need to be referred from the emergency department is important in terms of taking the necessary precautions during the referral process and providing care opportunities. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of pediatric patients who applied to our hospital's emergency department and were referred to other hospitals.
Methods: A total of 4870 pediatric patients between the ages of 0-17 who were admitted to the emergency department of our secondary care district hospital or were referred to other hospitals, were included in the study.
Results: The median age of the patients was 7 (min-max 0-17) years, and 2809 (57.7%) were male. The highest referral rate during the day was between the hours of 16-24 (46.6%). A total of 66.5% of referrals were made to tertiary care hospitals, and 92.8% were to the emergency department. The most common cause for referral was the lack of relevant branch and/or specialist (68.8%). The most common preliminary diagnosis or findings in referred children were convulsion (11.4%), acute appendicitis (9.0%) and abdominal pain (6.2%). In the 14-17 age group, the rate of those referred due to convulsions, trauma, burns and ileus was significantly lower than the other groups, while the rate of those referred due to drug poisoning, traffic accident, chest pain, pneumothorax, sharp object injuries and electric shock was significantly higher (p<0.05). The rate of those referred due to fever, chemical exposure, ileus, foreign body aspiration or ingestion, respiratory failure, acute gastroenteritis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage was significantly higher in the 0-3 age group compared to other groups (p<0.05). In cases such as drug poisoning, soft tissue injury, fall, fever, trauma, traffic accident, burn, foreign body aspiration or ingestion, pneumothorax, fracture and head trauma, the rates of patients referred to the tertiary care were significantly higher than those referred to the secondary care (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings obtained from this study has showed that the most frequently referred cases in pediatric patients are acute appendicitis, convulsion and abdominal pain, that the majority of referrals are made to tertiary care hospitals and especially emergency services, that the absence of a relevant branch or specialist physician is the most common reason for referrals, that the patients' preliminary diagnoses, patient age and time of admission significantly direct the referral characteristics.

Aims: Breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening programs are available in Turkey. This study aimed to assess people's knowledge and behaviors regarding these cancer screening tests.
Methods: This population-based, cross-sectional study involved individuals aged between 30 and 69 living in Kastamonu, Turkey. A total of 201 participants were included. The study examined participants' sociodemographic characteristics, the presence of chronic diseases and cancer diagnoses, knowledge of cancer screening tests conducted in Turkey, their status regarding cancer screening, and the reasons for not undergoing such screenings.
Results: Among the participants, 63.7% were women, and 29.4% had a family history of cancer. Additionally, 49.8% stated they had no information about cancer screening tests in Turkey. Of those informed about cancer screening tests in Turkey, 63.8% had undergone at least one cancer screening test. The two most common reasons for not having a cancer screening test were believing they were healthy (50.0%) and lacking information (32.1%). There were significant differences in the rates of cancer screening tests based on age (p<0.001), gender (p<0.001), employment status (p<0.001), educational level (p<0.001), and knowledge about screening (p=0.009).
Conclusion: Lack of knowledge and beliefs about health were effective in not having a cancer screening test. Health education is necessary for individuals to obtain accurate information and gain awareness.

Published: September 2024

Aims: Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between abdominal fat tissue and the risk of breast cancer and the histological degree of cancer with the help of computed tomography(CT).
Methods: This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. It consists of patients diagnosed with breast cancer and a control group. Abdominal fat tissue measurements were taken from the navel or 4th lumbar vertebra level using an abdominal CT workstation. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), Fat ratio (FR), and waist circumference measurements were made. The relationship between the obtained measurements and breast cancer, histological grade, and hormone status was analyzed.
Results: Forty-one breast cancer patients and forty-two individuals without known diseases were examined. VAT and SAT were found to be higher in patients with breast cancer and it was statistically significant (p<0.05). Estrogen and/or progesterone receptor-negative patients tended to have a higher VAT rate. An increase in VAT and FR in breast cancer patients was found to have a more significant effect in patients with negative hormone receptors than in positive ones (estrogen receptor r:0.585 p<0.05, progesterone receptor r:0.579, p<0.05).
Conclusion: The relationship between breast cancer and abdominal adipose tissue has been demonstrated. In addition, a correlation was found between high VAT and FR and histological grade in patients with hormone receptor-negative.

Authors: Jauhari Farah Farhana , Mohd Yusoff Syarah Syahira
Published: September 2024

This study explores the influence of extended UTAUT2 factors on Islamic FinTech credit adoption amongst Asnaf microentrepreneurs. The paper aims to present the research model and the result of a preliminary study on factors influencing the adoption of one of the two types of Islamic FinTech credit provided by Zakat institutions among Asnaf microentrepreneurs in Selangor. Psychometric testing and assessment were introduced in the research as a mechanism to improve the zakat distribution among entrepreneurs. A pilot study was conducted in which 32 samples were disseminated using an online questionnaire via Teraju Ekonomi Asnaf (TERAS). The pilot study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the instruments intended for the primary research project. The PLS-SEM measurement model was employed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the items in this study. Prior to this, the researchers have sought expert validation and pre-testing were conducted among 30 respondents. The result shows that all 53 measuring instruments are reliable and the data for pilot study indicated strong evidence of rational validity. As a result, based on the preliminary findings, it is recommended for Zakat institutions to adopt psychometric scoring for an efficient Zakat distribution, perhaps catering towards bigger ticket size applications amidst the positive response of Asnaf on answering psychometric assessment.

Published: September 2024

Candles can serve a dual purpose of not only providing light but also acting as a means of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy, which involves the use of essential oils, such as calamansi peel (Citrus x microcarpa Bunge), is an alternative form of treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of essential oil, evaluate the characteristics of aromatherapy candles, and assess their appeal. The pre-experimental technique employed a one-time case study/post-test design, with soy wax used as the candle's wax base. The preference test for aromatherapy candles involved 30 untrained individuals. The candles exhibited a uniform color, with no cracks, defects, fractures, or air bubbles. The candle with a 3% formulation demonstrated the longest burning time and quickest melting point. Furthermore, candles containing 3% essential oil were preferred both before and during burning. Additionally, this formulation displayed the fragrance promptly, with the quickest perceived effect time.

Published: September 2024

The current research work was carried out to screen and evaluate antimicrobial activity of leaf extracts of Ocimum sanctum (common name: Tulsi) on Multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus organism. Tulsi materials which were used during this study were collected from local garden whereas the bacterial strains were isolated from infected cow. Fresh leaves were processed and extracted by absolute ethanol and methanol before testing. Besides, antibiogram study performed and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was determined by diffusion method. Disk diffusion methods were used to determine zone diameter of inhibition (ZDI). ‘Four S. aureus presented resistance to these antibiotics: oxytetracycline, penicillin, streptomycin, amoxicillin, and erythromycin. These isolates were susceptible to tulsi extracted pellet’. The results showed that the effectiveness of the extracts was dependent of the concentration used thus the increase of extract concentration increased the inhibition zone against multidrug-resistant S. aureus (MDRSA) as antimicrobial agents against MDRSA and can be used to explore novel antibacterial compounds against MDRSA. However, Maximum ZDI (17mm) value was observed for methanol extracts 0.8g/ml against MDRSA and minimum ZDI (7mm) value was observed for methanol extracts 0.4g/ml against MDRSA and no zone was found 0.2g/ml of methanol etract of tulsi. From the current research, it can be concluded that the selected O. sanctum have great potential as antimicrobial agents against MDRSA Staphylococcus aureus and can be used to explore novel antibacterial compounds against MDRSA.
