The development of cookies products using high-protein cassava flour has never been conducted by a small industry. Industry players do not have information on consumer responses to cookies made from high-protein cassava flour with the addition of palm sugar. This study aimed to analyze consumer preferences and proximate analysis of cookie products with various levels of palm sugar additions. This research used cross section data where the sampling was carried out by accidental sampling as many as 25 panelists. The method used was a multi-attribute analysis of fishbein, and proximate analysis was conducted on best products. The results showed that the panelists preferred F1 cookies products (added by 25% palm sugar) with positive values, and overall this means that consumers' attitudes towards F1 cookies products were considered good. The addition of palm sugar as much as 25% produces cookies with a moisture content, protein content, fat content, fiber content, ash content and carbohydrate content of 3.39%, 4.11%, 27.6%, 9.67, 1.32% and 64.56% respectively.Keywords: Cookies, Preferences, Fishbein, Proximate

Окислительное повреждение, связанное с активными формами кислорода (АФК), играет жизненно важную роль в канцерогенезе. АФК регулируются регулярным метаболическим процессом in vivo и могут инициировать серию образования свободных радикалов, могут приводить к разрушению ДНК, окислению белков и липидов. Повреждения ДНК могут инактивировать гены-супрессоры рака и еще больше снизить целостность генома. Окислительное повреждение ДНК – известный фактор риска рака легких.Глутатионпероксидаза (GPX1) играет решающую роль в детоксикации митохондриальных АФК. Высокий уровень экспрессии GPX1 может увеличивать антиоксидантную способность одной клетки, тем самым снижая внутриклеточный окислительный стресс. Соответствующая корректировка уровней GPX1 считается важным фактором на разных этапах канцерогенеза. Учитывая это важным является понимание современных достижений в изучении связи функциональной активности фермента глутатионового звена антиоксидантной системы GPX1 с раком легкого в азиатских популяциях.

Oxidative damage associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a vital role in carcinogenesis. ROS are regulated by a regular metabolic process in vivo and can initiate a series of free radicals, can lead to DNA destruction, oxidation of proteins and lipids. DNA damage can inactivate cancer suppressor genes and further reduce the integrity of the genome. Oxidative DNA damage is a known risk factor for lung cancer.Glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) plays a critical role in the detoxification of mitochondrial ROS. High levels of GPX1 expression can increase the antioxidant capacity of a single cell, thereby reducing intracellular oxidative stress. Appropriate adjustment of GPX1 levels is considered an important factor at different stages of carcinogenesis. Taking this into account, it is important to understand modern advances in the study of the relationship between the functional activity of the enzyme of the glutathione link of the antioxidant system GPX1 with lung cancer in Asian populations.

Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV) is posing a great threat to capsicum cultivation worldwide. Based on the ability of PMMoV in overcoming L mediated resistance in Capsicum spp., it has been categorized in to five pathotypes. The information of pathotype is crucial in framing sustainable management practices. The surveys conducted in seven districts of Himachal Pradesh (H.P) during 2016 and 2017 revealed maximum incidence of PMMoV in Kullu (88.89%) district followed by Mandi (78.57%) after confirmation through DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR. A total 16 isolates were selected for their pathotype characterization by deducing their Amino Acid (aa) sequence and their pathogenicity on differential capsicum cultivars carrying L1, L2, L+, L3 and L4 genes. None of the test isolates produced visible symptoms on differential cultivarsPI-159236 and PI-260429 carrying L3 and L4 genes, respectively. The aa sequences of all test isolates except PMMoV-16.6, 16.10 and PMMoV-17.1 were 100% similar to the P12 pathotypes available at NCBI database. Additionally, the 3-D structure of PMMoV-16.6, 16.10 and 17.1 isolates constructed using SWISSMODEL affirmed the presence of mutations in the short and long hairpin loops of viral CP corresponding to the inner surface and thus do not contribute to the elicitor activity of CP. Thus, all the present isolates were characterized as P12 pathotype. The full genome sequences of three isolates viz., PMMoV-16.7 (MN496153), 16.9 (MN496154) and 17.3 (MN734123) determined in the present study revealed their maximum similarity with PMMoV-HP1 (P12, KJ631123.1) and a Japanese isolate (P12, AB000709.2) and least with a Korean isolate (LC082100.1). The full genome-based recombination analysis did not show any significant recombination event.

Authors:   Marginalization-Related Diminished Returns (MDRs) Research Center, Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science, Los Angeles, CA, USA, Assari Shervin
Published: February 2022

Background: Limited knowledge exists on the role of Perceived Discrimination (PD) as a social determinant and risk factor that influences children’s brain development and whether this association is different for male and female children. Aim: To examine the association between PD, the superior frontal cortex, and sex differences in a national sample of 9/10-year-old children in the US. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 8,719 children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. The exposure variable was PD, and the outcome variables were the right and left superior frontal cortex surface areas, measured using structural MRIs. Covariates included: age, family structure, parental education, household income, stressful life events, financial stress, neighborhood poverty, and neighborhood toxins/pollutants (lead, PM2.5, and NO2). We used a mixed-effect regression model for data analysis to adjust to the nested nature of the ABCD data. Results: There was an inverse association between PD and superior frontal cortex surface area in children. We found a statistically significant interaction between PD and the superior frontal cortex, indicating a more prominent inverse association between PD and superior frontal cortex surface area in males than females. Similar findings were observed for the right and left hemispheres. Conclusion: High levels of PD may be a more salient determinant of superior frontal cortex surface area for male than female children. Sex may alter the relevance of high PD for the brain development of US children. More research is needed on the mechanism by which sex differences emerge in the association between PD and brain development.

Prospective Life Cycle Assessment (pLCA) is useful to evaluate the environmental performance of current and emerging technologies in the future. Yet, as energy systems and industries are rapidly shifting towards cleaner means of production, pLCA requires an inventory database that encapsulates the expected changes in technologies and the environment at a given point in time, following specific socio-techno-economic pathways. To this end, this study introduces premise, a tool to streamline the generation of prospective inventory databases for pLCA by integrating scenarios generated by Integrated Assessment Models (IAM). More precisely, premise applies a number of transformations on energy-intensive activities found in the inventory database ecoinvent according to projections provided by the IAM. Unsurprisingly, the study shows that, within a given socio-economic narrative, the climate change mitigation target chosen affects the performance of nearly all activities in the database. This is illustrated by focusing on the effects observed on a few activities, such as systems for direct air capture of CO2, lithium-ion batteries, electricity and clinker production as well as freight transport by road, in relation to the applied sector-based transformation and the chosen climate change mitigation target. This work also discusses the limitations and challenges faced when coupling IAM and LCA databases and what improvements are to be brought in to further facilitate the development of pLCA.

Authors: Aganezov Sergey S. , Kuzmina Anastasiya V. , Ellinidi Vera N. , Gogichashvili Ksenia E. , Aganezova Natalia V.
Published: February 2022

Aim. To assess the expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in the endometrium during the implantation "window" in women with impaired reproductive function with low (16.1P30 nmol/l) and high (P30 nmol/l)) functional activity of the corpus luteum of the ovary.
Materials and methods. A prospective single-center cohort comparative study. The main group included patients with infertility (n=93) and miscarriage (n=47) of unclear reason in the anamnesis, the control group 16 healthy fertile women. In all cases, vacuum-aspiration endometrial biopsy was performed on the 68 days after ovulation with simultaneous collection of a peripheral blood sample to determine the levels of estradiol and progesterone. Endometrial samples were studied by histological and immunohistochemical (ER, PR expression) methods.
Results. Women of the main (1) and control (2) groups had an ovulatory menstrual cycle. The serum estradiol (E2) level was 691.326.5 pmol/l (1) and 707.466.1 pmol/l (2); progesterone (P) 46.11.8 nmol/l (2) and 39.14.9 nmol/l (2). Mid-secretory endometrium (results of histological examination) was determined in all healthy women (n=16) and in 46% (n=64) of the patients of the main group. All women in the control group had adequate hormone-receptor characteristics of the endometrium, in women in the main group in 45% (n=63). Comparative analysis of the expression of ER, PR in the endometrium in patients with different functional activity of the corpus luteum of the ovary was carried out in the groups 1 and 2, in women with different reproductive dysfunctions in the anamnesis (without significant differences; p0.05); subgroup analysis was performed in cohorts of women with normal (63 women in group 1 and 16 in group 2) and inadequate (77 patients in group 1) hormone-receptor status of the endometrium. There were no significant differences in the expression of ER, PR in the endometrium with low/high functional activity of the corpus luteum of the ovary with similar morphological characteristics of the endometrium (p0.05). Correlation analysis did not reveal significant relationships between the level of P in the blood and indicators of endometrial expression ER, PR (p0.05).
Conclusion. In the studied cohorts, the prognostic significance of the functional activity of the corpus luteum of the ovary for the adequate expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors has not been established. To clarify the presence/absence of endometrial dysfunction in women with a history of reproductive failures, a morphological examination of the endometrium of the middle secretion phase should be carried out.
Cervical diseases after subtotal hysterectomy (modern aspects of diagnosis and tactics of management)
Authors: Karanasheva Albina Kh. , Dobrokhotova Yulia E.
Published: February 2022

Aim. To study the state of the cervical stump after subtotal hysterectomy (STGE) without uterine appendages with and without excision of the endocervix in patients with myoma to justify the choice of a rational volume of surgical operation.
Materials and methods. Examination and treatment of 140 women was carried out with the formation of three groups: 1st 40 patients after laparoscopic STGE with excision of the endocervix; 2nd 38 patients after laparoscopic STGE without excision of the endocervix; 3rd (comparison group) 62 patients with uterine myoma that do not require surgical treatment.
Results. The study of the state of the cervical stump was carried out 5.10.3 years after surgery. The number of patients with cervical pathology after STGE with excision of the endocervix (in group 1) was 1.8 times less in percentage terms than after STGE without excision of the endocervix (in group 2), and 3.2 times less than in patients with uterine fibroids who do not require surgical treatment (in the 3rd comparison group).
Conclusion. Out of 3 (3.8%) patients after surgical treatment with diagnosed HPV type 16.1 (1.3%) in the STGE group without endocervical excision was diagnosed with grade II intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II). In patients with uterine myoma, STGE can be performed only after a comprehensive preoperative examination, including: diagnosis and treatment of urogenital infections, DNA typing of HPV of high oncogenic types, cytological and colposcopic examination of the cervix, targeted biopsy of the cervix with histological examination of the material. If a subtotal hysterectomy is performed, it must be supplemented with excision of the endocervix. In the future, these women require careful follow-up to improve early diagnosis and treatment of underlying and precancerous diseases and reduce the risk of developing cervical stump cancer.
Polymorphism of the maternal EGF gene is associated with the fetal growth retardation: a prospective comparative study
Authors: Golovchenko Oleg V. , Ponomarenko Irina V. , Churnosov Mikhail I.
Published: February 2022

Aim. To study the involvement of polymorphism of growth factor genes and their receptors in the formation of fetal growth retardation (FGR).
Materials and methods. In this prospective comparative study, genetic analysis of five polymorphic loci of growth factor genes and their receptors (rs4444903 EGF, rs833061 VEGFA, rs2981582 FGFR2, rs6214 IGF1, rs1800469 TGF1) was performed in 196 pregnant women with FGR and 324 pregnant women in the control group. For genotyping single-nucleotide polymorphism, the polymerase chain reaction method was used. The biomedical mechanisms underlying the identified associations were evaluated using modern bioinformatic resources: GTExportal (effect on gene transcription) and HaploReg (regulatory potential).
Results. The allelic variant G rs4444903 of the EGF gene determines an increased risk of FGR in the following genetic models: allelic (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.001.65; рperm=0.033), additive (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.021.75; рperm=0.039) and dominant (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.062.47; рperm=0.031). The polymorphism rs4444903 of the EGF gene has a significant epigenetic potential (in the field of promoters, enhancers, "open chromatin", transcription regulatory proteins), determines the expression of the EGF and GAR1 genes and alternative splicing of the GAR1 gene in organs and tissues (placenta, fetal and adult brain, etc.), which are significant for the pathophysiology of FGR.
Conclusion. The associations rs4444903 of the EGF gene with the FGR are shown.

Demographic differences in hiker cellular technology use in backcountry areas in Montana’s Custer Gallatin National Forest
Authors: Miller Alexandra , Maples James N. , Bradley Michael J.
Published: February 2022

Technology remains an important part of outdoor recreation, ranging from the introduction of lighter materials in gear to new gadgets that improve the outdoor experience. Recently, advances in cellular technology and mobile devices have presented new opportunities for using mobile technology in backcountry areas. Applications ranging from public lands apps to GPS apps are a now a common find in outdoor recreation areas. Use of mobile technologies, such as cellular phones, can differ by demographic variables such as sex, age, and income. This presents a valuable opportunity to explore how and why demographics may shape the use of cellular devices while in the backcountry. This study examines technology use among hikers in Montana’s Custer Gallatin National Forest. Using data from an online survey, the researchers explored the importance of eight different uses of cellular technology while in the backcountry and analyzed how these responses vary by sex, age, income, and education categories. The results indicate cellular technology plays a varied, albeit often neutral or even unimportant, role in backcountry outdoor recreation situations. Notably, these experiences do vary by age, education, and income categories but, surprisingly, not sex. Important outcomes include new understanding of hiker use of cellular devices as cameras, wayfinding devices, and for information gathering while in the backcountry.

Determinants of Corporate Loan Interest Rate: Case of Ukraine
Authors:   National Bank of Ukraine, Shpak Solomiya
Published: February 2022

This paper estimates the effect of loan, borrower, and bank characteristics on corporate loan pricing in Ukraine using rich loan-borrower-bank monthly panel data from 2013 and 2020 combined with data from borrowers’ financial statements. Examining an extensive set of fixed effects, we find that larger loans, loans with a shorter maturity period and larger collateral value have lower interest rates even after controlling for borrower characteristics. We also find that larger borrowers, borrowers with more tangible assets, lower indebtedness, and a higher interest coverage ratio who operate in concentrated industries secure lower interest rates. Our findings suggest that it is crucial to take into consideration both loan and borrower characteristics when estimating the effects of banks’ health on the loan interest rate.
Actitudes frente al lugar: Bonet, arquitecturas del turismo y la conquista de Atamaría
Authors: Carcelén González Ricardo , López Martínez José M. , Aroca Vicente Edith , García Martín Fernando M.
Published: February 2022

Las arquitecturas del turismo representaron en la década de años 60 el contexto de trabajo idóneo para abordar las nuevas relaciones entre la arquitectura construida y el lugar, en definitiva, la naturaleza. En ese sentido, Bonet Castellana fue uno de los arquitectos españoles que de manera más significativa se enfrentó a dicho escenario a lo largo de su amplia trayectoria. El texto nos acerca en primer lugar a las actuaciones del arquitecto en la Manga del Mar Menor en Murcia, donde la condición plana del suelo determinaría las estrategias de implantación y la relación entre arquitectura y terreno en cada caso. Ese acercamiento permite comprender mejor las actitudes frente al lugar desarrolladas después en Atamaría, que constituye la principal investigación en este trabajo. Aquí, Bonet llevará a cabo una serie de ensayos en los que se abordarán las siguientes estrategias de proyecto: arquitecturas que emergen del terreno, como los Bungalows B que con su sección escalonada adaptada al terreno y el uso de cubiertas-jardín parecen desaparecer; arquitecturas sobre el terreno, como los Bungalows A o Apartamentos Mirador que asumen la doble estrategia de planos suspendidos sobre un masivo zócalo adaptado al terreno; y, finalmente, arquitecturas dentro del terreno, como la inconclusa Casa Peters en la que, proyectada para estar situada en el punto más alto de la montaña de Atamaría, se optará por crear una horizontalidad artificial desmontando el terreno original.
How Do National Cultures Affect Quality of Life in Europe During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Authors: Koompai Somjintana , Royer Joël
Published: February 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the six cultural dimensions of Geert Hofstede that affect perceptions of quality of life in 26 European countries during the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020–March 2021): (1) Quality of life, (2) Democracy and trust, (3) Working during COVID-19, (4) Financial situation, (5) Support during COVID-19, and (6) Health care during COVID-19. Many studies are not conclusive on which dimensions of national culture affect the spread and death rate of COVID-19. The researchers, therefore, consider that studying the pandemic from the perception of quality can prevent its spread and contribute to the care and security of people affected by COVID-19. This study may be another way of providing information to those stakeholders. Method: To determine which aspects of culture affect the quality of life of Europeans during the COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers analyzed data through stepwise multiple regression analysis to predict the relationship between independent variables (cultural dimensions) and dependent variables (perceptions of the quality of life). Findings: It was found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, countries with higher power distance and higher uncertainty avoidance had a lower quality of life in several dimensions, mainly in Eastern European countries and Latin European countries (France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain). In the Nordic or Scandinavian countries with higher levels of indulgence, people were more satisfied with their quality of life in spite of the COVID-19 epidemic. Novelty/Improvement:The results may inform policy-makers and stakeholders on how national cultures have both positive (i.e., indulgent and long-term) and negative (high power distance and high uncertainty avoidance) effects on the quality of life of Europeans during the COVID-19 pandemic. There should be (1) short-term measures to provide equal economic measures and public health assistance to reduce anxiety (reduce high power distance and high uncertainty avoidance), (2) medium-term measures to promote education and training to prepare people for new modes of working in the future (decrease high uncertainty avoidance), and (3) long-term measures to cultivate cultures to save for the future and to be optimistic and happy, both mentally and physically (increase long term orientation and indulgence). Doi: 10.28991/esj-2022-SPER-02 Full Text: PDF

The present study aimed to assess the effect of honey obtained from different bee species and protein sources on the metabolic changes in mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L. The results of experiment showed that oral administration of honey and protein sources to silkworm larvae during late-age instars daily once significantly changed metabolic processes. Among the various treatments and concentrations tested, 5 per cent Trigona iridipennis honey significantly increased the carbohydrate in haemolymph (16.71 mg/mL) and fat body (12.38 mg/g) over all other treatments. The lipid content in haemolymph (23.03 mg/mL) and fat body (45.38 mg/g) of silkworm were also found to be superior in the larval batch treated with 5 per cent T. iridipennis. Apart from this, the same treatment was showed statistical superiority in increasing the activity of enzymes viz., aspartate aminotransferase (269.78 µg/mL) and alanine aminotransferase (563.25 µg/mL), which play an important role in protein metabolism.

Muscat Hamburg (Panneer) is the most popular cultivar in Tamil Nadu for its pleasant musk flavor. It is consumed as table variety and also used for juice and wine-making purposes. The present investigation was conducted during summer and winter pruning from April 2016 to March 2018, in the grapes vineyard located at Shanmuganathy dam road, Rayappanpatty village in Cumbum valley of Theni district, Tamil Nadu. The experiment was laid out by adopting Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and three replications. The exeprimental results revealed that the treatment with foliar application of chelated EDTA calcium @ 0.2% + boric acid @ 0.1% recorded the maximum number of bunches (41.00 vine-1), fruit yield (14.87 kg vine-1), individual bunch weight (636.87g), bunch volume (498.42 mL) and TSS (19.530brix). The minimum berry cracking (3.46%), titrable acidity (0.52%) and physiological loss in weight (10.18%) were also recorded in the treatment with chelated EDTA calcium @ 0.2% + boric acid @ 0.1% (T5) as compared to other treatments. Further, the same treatment combination noted the lowest berry shattering (2.42%). Whereas the highest berry diameter was recorded in the treatment with a spray of calcium chloride @ 0.3% than all other treatments.

The present study aimed to estimate the nature and magnitude of genetic divergence in 60 horse gram genotypes for ten characters using Mahalanobis D2 analysis. The genotypes were grouped into thirteen clusters. Concerning intracluster distance, the genotypes falling within cluster III (31.51) has maximum divergence. Maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster VIII and XIII (184.05), followed by cluster XI and XIII (170.83). Cluster VIII exhibited a higher mean for hundred seed weight, grain yield per plot and Bhusa yld/plot and cluster VI contained genotypes with the higher mean value for pod length and the number of seeds per pod. Among the yield contributing characters, the traits viz.,grain yield per plot (28.30%) followed by the number of pods per plant (26.21 %) and the number of branches per plant (18.36%) contributes to major genetic divergence.The results indicated that from cluster IV the genotype HA 871-5-67/2 was selected for plant height, from cluster II the genotype Morappur-1 was chosen for the number of branches per plant, from cluster XII the accession HG 102 was selected for the trait number of pods per plant, from cluster VI the genotype T 45 was chosen for pod length and the number of seeds per pod. From cluster VIII the genotypes 12EB and IC 9606 were nominated for hundred seed weight, grain yield per plot and Bhusa yield per plot(g).
