Older people living with HIV (P50+) are living longer and longer and are therefore prone to age-related comorbidities. The objective of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular risk of P50+ followed in an HIV care unit in Cameroon. The proportion of P50+ was 13.9% and 80 were included in the study. The following prevalences of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) were found: sedentary lifestyle (77.5%), chronic smoking (5%). Fifteen percent reported having hypertension and 25% of the P50+ had high blood pressure during physical examination. Similarly, 2.5% of the patients reported diabetes and 7.5% of the P50+ had high blood sugar levels. The examinations performed revealed 2.5% of LDL dyslipidemia, 23.1% of glomerular filtration rate abnormalities, 5.7% of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and 22.9% of electrocardiographic signs of myocardial ischemia. The study of the interdependence between CVRF and the characteristics of the population revealed a relationship of dependence between physical activity and age (p=0.002), diabetes and age (p=0.004), diabetes and duration of HIV (p=0.007), LVH and duration of HIV (p=0.001). Cardiovascular risk is high in P50+ which could make them vulnerable to cardiovascular events. It is therefore necessary or even essential that cardiovascular risk assessment be integrated into the continuum of care of PLWH in general and P50+ particularly in HIV care units.

Primary mediastinal germ cell tumors are potentially aggressive neoplasms that are rarely associated with hematological malignancies in young men. The association between primary mediastinal germ cell tumors and hematological malignancies involves complex oncogenesis that has yet to be established, and these uncertainties are reflected in the unresponsiveness to the current therapeutic interventions, hence, leading to an unfavorable prognosis.

Traumatic injury to the axillary nerve associated with paralysis of triceps brachii: A case report
Authors: Mohamadi Jahromi eila Sadat
Published: December 2022

Although many textbooks reported the innervation of three heads of the triceps muscle with the radial nerve, some studies showed the axillary nerve supply to this muscle. Herein, we report a 21-year-old male patients with a traumatic injury to the axillary nerve associated with paralysis of his triceps muscle. Based on the electrophysiological findings, it could be reasonable to conclude that the main branch innervating all heads of the triceps muscle originated from the axillary nerve. It is vital to look for concomitant paralysis of the triceps in patients with an axillary nerve injury in terms of surgical management, prognosis, and nerve repair.
Evaluation of the effects of dexamethasone iontophoresis, galvanic current, and conservative treatment on pain and disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis and Baker`s cyst
Authors: Eker Büyükşireci Dilek
Published: December 2022

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of galvanic current and dexamethasone iontophoresis in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and Baker`s cyst (BC). Patients and methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study included 37 patients (9 males, 28 females; mean age: 57.8+10.3 years; range 40 to 75 years) with knee osteoarthritis and BC, between January and August 2020. The patients were randomized into three groups: the iontophoresis group (n=13), the galvanic current group (n=11), and the control group (n=13). The numerical rating scale (NRS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores and ultrasonographic measurements of BC were recorded at baseline, two weeks, and six weeks. All groups received the same physiotherapy program. Dexamethasone iontophoresis and galvanic current therapy were administered to the patients in the iontophoresis and galvanic current groups, respectively, with a galvanic current at an intensity of 0.1-0.2 mA/cm2 for 10 days. Results: There was no significant dissimilarity in demographic and clinical characteristics, basal NRS (resting and exercise) and WOMAC scores, and basal cyst volumes between groups. A significant temporal change was found in three groups for resting NRS, exercise NRS, and WOMAC scores and cyst volumes, except for the cyst volume in the control group. There was a notable difference in terms of improvement in cyst volumes between baseline and the second week in the iontophoresis group compared to the galvanic current group (p=0.046). There was a significant improvement in resting NRS and exercise NRS scores between baseline and the second week in the galvanic current group compared to the control group (p=0.015 and p=0.002, respectively). Additionally, a significant improvement was observed in resting NRS and exercise NRS scores between baseline and the second week in the iontophoresis group compared to the control group (p=0.009 and p=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: A significant clinical and functional improvement was detected with dexamethasone iontophoresis in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis and BC.
Molecular characterization of Beauveria isolates from Punjab based on ITS Region
Authors: BANTA GEETIKA , JINDAL VIKAS
Published: December 2022

Three local isolates of Beauveria (BbR1, BbR2 and BbR3), isolated from Punjab soils along with one standard strain MTCC 2028 (BbM1) were selected for molecular identification. All the isolates showed maximum growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA) for an incubation period of seven days at 28Â±2Â°C. Morphologically the shape of colonies was round, lightly raised with white powdery surface and smooth walled hyphae. The mycelia showed white powdery translucent radial growth. Molecular characterization was done based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, a fungal barcoding region for species level identification. The ITS region amplified by PCR with specific primers resulted in 603bp amplicon in all examined Beauveria isolates. The BLAST analysis showed that amplified gene has 99-100% homology with B.bassiana thus confirming all isolates as B.bassiana. The phylogenetic tree exhibited no sequence diversity among Punjab isolates. However, Punjab isolates showed genetic variation of 0.63â€“1.47% from other Indian isolates based on ITS region. The phylogenetic tree developed, including isolates from other countries, resulted in two main groups.The first group includes all the three local isolates of Punjab, one isolate from Chandigarh, standard BbM1 and 13 from other countries. The second group wasformed by 10 isolates from different states of India and 6 from other countries. The analyses indicated inter and intraspecific variations among B. bassiana isolates associated with diverse geographical origins.
Integrated approach for management of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia)
Authors: SINGH SATYENDRA
Published: December 2022

Field trials were conducted to manage root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) infesting bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.). Four summer ploughings in May-June, 2014 at 15Â±2 days interval caused 67% reduction in M. incognita population. To develop an ecofriendly nematode management module organic amendment (neem cake, Azadirachta indica at 1.5 t/ha) and talc based preparations of bio-agents (Pseudomonas flourescens and Trichoderma harzianum) as seed treatment (10 g/kg) and soil application (10 kg/ha) were integrated with summer ploughings as pre-treatment. Carbofuran 3G at 1 kg a.i./ha was kept as control. The treatments were: T1- Control (Carbofuran); T2- Neem cake; T3- P. flourescens (seed treatment (10 g/kg seed as well as soil application at 10 kg/ha); T4- T. harzianum (seed treatment 10 g/kg seed as well as soil application at 10 kg/ha); T5- T2+T3+T4; T6-Farmersâ€™ practice. The best protection of bitter gourd root-knot disease was achieved through integrated application of neem cake, P. flourencens and T. harzianum. Significantly better results (in terms of vine height and reduction in M. incognita population) were recorded under consequent second year trial (84 and 94% respectively) as compared to first year trial (47 and 73% respectively). It also enhanced marketable yield of bitter gourd significantly (P>0.5) (up to 108%) in the second season trial, as compared to farmersâ€™ practice. It is suggested that integrated approach using organic amendment with bioagents to manage root-knot disease of bitter gourd under natural infestation is environmental friendly and beneï¬cial to growers/farmersâ€™ having small holdings of land.

Published: December 2022

Investigations were conducted on flower strip farmscaping along with intercropping to promote natural enemy diversity and eco-friendly pest suppression in okra during kharif 2016 and 2017. Pooled data of both the years revealed that whitefly was lowest (7.66 /15 leaves) in biopesticides treated okra having baby-corn as an intercrop with flower plants strip. Likewise, a minimum population of leafhoppers (39.89/15 leaves), red spider mites (99.16/cm2/15 leaves) and lowest fruit infestation by fruit borer (9.60%) were observed on treated okra having cowpea as an intercrop with flower strip farmscaping. Maximum population of natural enemies, viz. coccinellids (5.40), spiders (6.38), Geocoris bug (2.47), rove beetles (1.99/5 plants) and carabid beetles (1.32/2 pitfall traps) were recorded on untreated okra with cowpea intercropping having flower strip farmscaping. Shannon-wiener index value was found lower for pests on okra treatments having flower strips, while index value was higher for natural enemies on same treatments.

Multidimensional Analysis of Knowledge-Linking within the Concept of Energy in Student Essays
Authors: Dietz Dennis , Bolte Claus
Published: December 2022

In Germany there is a very conservative tradition to teach science in separated subjects during the secondary level of education. Considering the importance of knowledge-linking in all relevant learning theories of the 20th century, cross-curricular core concepts, like the concept of energy, found their way into German educational standards for biology, chemistry, and physics in 2005 (KMK, 2005a-c). The aim was to foster both more vertical (i.e. intra-subject) and more horizontal (i.e. inter-subject) linkage in subject-differentiated science education. Existing structural models or approaches to analysing and describing knowledge-linking focus exclusively either on the aspect of vertical or horizontal linkage. Based on existing models and approaches, we developed a theory-based model (MAVerBE) that allows a general analysis of the linking performance in essays. In this study, we investigate to what extent we can identify vertical and horizontal linkage structures in student essays on the cross-curricular core concept of energy in grade 9. Our results presented here give an empirical insight into students’ knowledge-linking in the sense of a normative survey. This survey should permit future comparative studies both on a national and international level to prove the popular assumption of the superiority of integrated-science teaching concerning knowledge-linking.
Computational thinking as part of compulsory education: How is it represented in Swedish and Norwegian curricula?
Authors: Vinnervik Peter , Bungum Berit
Published: December 2022

In recent years, many countries have revised their school policy documents to incorporate digital competence, computational thinking and programming. This study examines and compares how and in what contexts Nordic curricula, Swedish and Norwegian in particular, embody aspects of computational thinking. Results show that only parts of the practices defined in the computational thinking framework used for analysis could be explicitly identified in the curriculum documents. The most salient computational thinking practice represented in both the Swedish and Norwegian curricula is programming, and programming is primarily recognized as a method and tool for learning other subject content and not as a knowledge domain in its own right. Implicitly both curricula leave leeway for teachers to implement a broader approach to computational thinking. However, this would need much time, teacher competence and effort, and what it requires seems to be under-communicated in the curricula, leaving schools and teachers with major challenges.

Abstract
Background
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) serum levels change with age, physical exercise, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as dementia, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Military personnel are physically and mental training with an increased risk of developing mental disorders.
Objective
The main objective of this study was determinate the BDNF serum levels in four military samples. 132 participants, administrative personnel (control) and three different Special Operations Forces (SOF) groups participated in the study.
Methods
A first group of SOFS was on a training course (SOF-TC), second group exposed to 48 hours of operational stress (SOF-48hS) and third group exposed to two-weeks of operational stress (SOF-2wS). The mini interview was conducted and CAPS, and BNF levels were determined by ELISA assays.
Results
Differences in age, were evaluated by ANOVA post-hoc Tukey´s. Differences in BNDF levels are evaluated by the Kruskal-Wallis test post hoc Dunn’s. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the relationship between BDNF and age. The SOF-TC had a BDNF elevation in comparison with Control group that could be related to age differences or the physical and mental training.SOF-2wS had decreased BDNF levels in comparison to the other groups that could be related to the psychosocial stress or other mental disorders such as PTSD. That group, 2 participants showed signs of PTSD.
Conclusion
BDNF levels are an accurate method for the evaluation of mental health to prevent, diagnose & treat mental disorders in military personnel exposed to operational stress.

Published: December 2022

The study was carried out on 36 naturally infected buffaloes with Theileria annulata, to determine the clinical markers, hemato-biochemical and oxidative stress parameters alterations. The clinical markers recorded in infected buffaloes were fever, enlargement of pre-scapular lymph nodes, pale mucosae, anorexia, thin mucoid nasal discharge along with melanic faeces and corneal opacity as clinical signs which might be considered as clinical markers of theleriosis in buffaloes in the semi arid zone of the region. Hemato-bichemical and oxidative stress parameters alterations revealed significant decrease in red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (Hb) concentration in the infected animals, compared to the control ones. Increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) and decrease in the levels superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in infected animals, compared to the control ones. It can be concluded that theleriosis in buffaloes may lead to anemia which might be attributed due to increased oxidative stress.

The present study was carried out for quality and safety assessment of buffalo milk collected from five different areas of Mathura city viz. Holigate (H), Sadar (S), Aurangabad (A), Chungi (A) and Township (T). The milk samples were collected from dairy shops, vendors and milk producers and evaluated for various organoleptic tests, Physico-chemical properties, proximate estimation and microbiological studies by following the standard procedures. Among organoleptic tests, Chungi (80%) and Township (90%) samples had a more clear appearance than Holigate (30%), Sadar (40%) and Aurangabad (60%) areas. There were 40, 60, 80, 90 and 100% samples which were white in color, in H, S, A, C and T areas respectively. The normal consistency of milk was observed in 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% samples in H, S, A, C, and T area. There were 40, 50, 70, 80 and 90% samples that had a normal odor in H, S, A, C, and T respectively. The COB test was positive in 40, 30, 20, 10 and 0% samples of H, S, A, C and T regions respectively. The temperature, pH and specific gravity were lower though titrable acidity was higher than the normal prescribed limit in all milk samples. All the proximate parameters showed significantly (P<0.05) difference between buffalo milk samples. Among proximate parameters, moisture content were comparatively higher; however other parameters (protein, ash, total solids) showed lower values than the normal prescribed range. The formalin adulteration was detected in 50, 30, 10, 10 and 0% milk samples from H, S, A, C, and T areas. All buffalo milk samples were negative for other preservatives, neutralizers, and adulterants. The microbial load of all milk samples were higher than normal prescribed limit in terms of SPC, DMC, Coliform count as well as Staphylococcus count.

The illusion of proportion in the explanation of the operation of temperature sensors
Authors: Marinos Andreas
Published: December 2022

In this work we examine the role played by the illusion of proportion as held by students of the Technical High Schools in the understanding of the operation of sensors in automatic circuits. It is observed that students who examine diagrams of electrical systems (in this case sensors) often come to false conclusions about their operation because of the illusion of proportion. Thus the students apply a linear correlation in all situations without exception, which meet certain informal “pre-supposition”.

From psychological, education management and specific methodological perspectives, the researchers have tried to offer a paradigm of the necessary concepts that might contribute to the educational output of critical thinking, contributing to the design and implementation of the methodology targeted, making the whole process much more measurable.
Estimating Strength from Stiffness for Chemically Treated Soils
Authors: Shivakumar Pranavkumar , Gupta Kanika , Bobet Antonio , Shin Boonam , Becker Peter J.
Published: December 2022

The central theme of this study is to identify strength-stiffness correlations for chemically treated subgrade soils in Indiana. This was done by conducting Unconfined Compression (UC) Tests and Resilient Modulus Tests for soils collected at three different sites—US-31, SR-37, and I-65. At each site, soil samples were obtained from 11 locations at 30 ft spacing. The soils were treated in the laboratory with cement, using the same proportions used for construction, and cured for 7 and 28 days before testing. Results from the UC tests were compared with the resilient modulus results that were available. No direct correlation was found between resilient modulus and UCS parameters for the soils investigated in this study. A brief statistical analysis of the results was conducted, and a simple linear regression model involving the soil characteristics (plasticity index, optimum moisture content and maximum dry density) along with UCS and resilient modulus parameters was proposed.

OLUBAJÉ, O GRANDE RITUAL COLETIVO DO CANDOMBLÉ DE MANUTENÇÃO DA SAÚDE:
Authors: Alvares Myriam Martins , Silva Larissa Andrade
Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem como intuito fornecer material para o debate acerca de um ritual religioso do Candomblé registrado em etnografia. Considero sua estrutura, organização e todo o processo de transmissão de saberes, assim como a forma com que esses rituais contribuem para a construção de uma rede de relações sociais que fazem com que os adeptos a religião compreendam a mente, o corpo, o espírito e toda a comunidade religiosa de forma interligada. O foco, desse modo, é no aspecto místico-religioso que domina o social e que fornece uma teodiceia para toda a comunida de. Como a religião do Candomblé é capaz de alterar o significado de uma doença, não necessariamente pela remoção dos sintomas, mas pela mudança positiva dos significados atribuídos à doença? Aqui, trago enredos, percursos e narrativas que confirmam que a tradição do Candomblé, ao se alicerçar em uma Epistemologia Africana-Yorubá, é capaz de dar conta de questões essenciais, como a saúde, a doença e a cura. Minha intenção é discutir os conceitos de doença e cura por meio de suas construções historicamente determinadas e os seus significados para ospraticantes da religião.

Authors: Ponz Sejas Elizabeth Julieta
Published: December 2022

La Amazonia presenta una biodiversidad significativa de plantas medicinales que son aplicadas en la medicina tradicional por las comunidades indígenas de Perú, Brasil y Bolivia, como la Jatropha gossyfolia que es una especie que se utiliza para diferentes enfermedades o afecciones como para la malaria, regulación de la menstruación, sarna, heridas, picadura de insectos, cicatrizantes, de uso ginecológico, purgante, para infecciones estomacales, pelagra y fiebre interior, fracturas, dolor de cabeza y para afecciones espirituales como la maldad. La parte más utilizada en base a la indagación realizada son hojas, raíz y látex. Sobre las concepciones teóricas de la Etnobotánica tienen como esencia que estudia las relaciones entre el hombre y los recursos vegetales en diferentes culturas y en las dos últimas décadas ha adquirido una especial relevancia por la pérdida acelerada del conocimiento tradicional y la degradación de los diferentes ecosistemas especialmente en regiones. El conocimiento tradicional que son las costumbres y creencias que son transmitidas oralmente o en habilidades, actitudes y experiencias a través de la imitación, el aprendizaje y la enseñanza activa. El conocimiento medicinal local ha demostrado ser culturalmente apropiado, holístico y adecuado de acuerdo a sus necesidades. Siendo fuente de conocimiento también para la preparación de medicamentos como aporte para el conocimiento occidental
