Estilos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes del área funcional preparatoria para la formación en ciencias agrarias y ambientales basados en el modelo de Kolb
Authors: Peñalba Berríos David Ernesto
Published: October 2022

Los estilos de aprendizaje se refieren a cómo los aprendices perciben, interaccionan con y responden al entorno de aprendizaje, como resultado de la herencia, las experiencias vitales propias y las exigencias del medio actual; también al comportamiento afectivo, cognitivo y fisiológico característico. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar los estilos de aprendizaje que muestran los estudiantes del “área funcional preparatoria para la formación en ciencias agrarias y ambientales” de la UNA Sede Camoapa, impartido en la modalidad presencial. Se sustenta en el modelo teórico de Kolb y sigue una metodología de investigación cuantitativa – descriptiva. El análisis se aborda a partir de la aplicación del instrumento Test de estilos de aprendizaje de Kolb a sesenta estudiantes de primer ingreso del año 2020. Entre los resultados se encontró que el estilo de aprendizaje predominante de los estudiantes es el asimilador, caracterizado por su pensamiento en forma secuencial, análisis y síntesis de información, y su sistema de valores premia la lógica y la racionalidad. Como los estudiantes aprenden con más efectividad cuando se les enseña mediante diferentes estrategias pedagógicas basadas en sus estilos de aprendizaje predominantes, a los docentes les corresponde estructurar situaciones de aprendizaje que sean coherentes con todos los estilos.

Female Genital Mutilation refers to the procedures alter or cause injury to the female genital organs in the form of circumcision or clitoridectomy for no known medical reasons. This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the persistent practice of Female Genital Mutilation in Kenya, a case study of Tigania East Sub-county, Meru County. This was done by determining the contribution of the cultural practices to the persistent practice of FGM, determining the influence of environmental factors to the practice of FGM, assessing the contribution of agencies towards the persistent practice of FGM, and determining the influence of awareness on the practice of FGM in the study area. The study employed the cross-sectional research design and used a sample size of 384 study participants. This study used both stratified random and purposive sampling to identify the participants. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used in the study, with the use of questionnaires and focused group discussions. Quantitative data was analyzed using the SPSS version 22.0 where the data was subjected to scientific methods of calculations such as means, frequencies, standard deviations, and percentages, and then presented using frequency tables and pie charts in form of descriptive and inferential statistics using the Pearson’s correlation. Qualitative data was analyzed and presented using the relevant themes. The study revealed that all the female respondents involved in the data collection process through the survey had undergone FGM. In the sample of women, 74.2% had circumcised their daughters whereas 25.8% had not. The persistence of FGM was attributed to cultural beliefs. The study found that 76.2% of girls and women interviewed had undergone FGM willingly compared to 23.8% who were forced. This was enhanced through socialization within the community that reinforces the stereotypes against uncircumcised girls or women. In regard to the effect of FGM the study found that of all the women and girls who had undergone FGM, 51.3% indicated excessive bleeding, 12.2% were obstructed labor, and 34.9% were sexual complications. The study draws the following recommendations: the girls should be empowered to refuse the practice of FGM and the community at large should join the efforts to fight the practice of FGM by abolishing harmful cultural beliefs and myths. In addition, the government should develop and enforce policies and frameworks to create awareness against FGM, the NGOs should empower the community through creating awareness against FGM and the health workers should educate the community on the harmful effects of FGM so as to promote the eradication of the practice. Keywords: Female Genital Mutilation, Cultural practices, Agencies, Awareness

Authors: Ledic Neto Jerko , Ruzza Nicolle Doneda , Da Silva Davi Avelino , Vergara Lizandra Garcia Lupi , Moro Antônio Renato Pereira
Published: October 2022

Trata-se de uma Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho (AET) realizada no Restaurante Universitário (RU) da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). Nele, cerca de 11 mil refeições são servidas diariamente. 38 terceirizados e 22 servidores trabalham no local. Após análise das atividades dos setores, identificou-se riscos potenciais relacionados ao transporte de cargas realizado pelos profissionais do almoxarifado. Para analisar a atividade de puxar o carrinho durante o transporte de alimentos – cerca de 20 toneladas por mês – utilizou-se a norma International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Identificaram-se riscos relacionados à tarefa, à carga a ser movida, ao ambiente, à capacidade do indivíduo e à gestão organizacional. A força inicial máxima para puxar o carrinho excedeu o valor aceitável. O resultado foi Risco Relevante exigindo redução dos riscos. O método de NIOSH para atividade de carregar os carrinhos na câmara fria indicou Risco Moderado. O censo ergonômico revelou que os trabalhadores sentem dor na coluna, classificada como muito forte. Concluiu-se que as atividades realizadas possuem riscos potenciais para causar acidentes, comprometer a saúde dos trabalhadores e afetar o funcionamento do RU.  Inverter os rodízios dos carrinhos para que eles possam ser empurrados, aumentar a quantidade de mão de obra, nivelar o piso para evitar aclive e automatizar abertura da porta foram algumas recomendações viáveis propostas.

Published: October 2022

Â Information and communications technology is a catalyst to the development of socio-economic sectors in Tanzania including the fishing sector. However, despite the contribution made by mobile phone technologies as one of the ICT modern gears in the development of fishing industry, most small-scale fishers are poor, and their working environment is of great risks due to various challenges. This being the case, the current study investigated the extent to which smallscale fishermen use mobile phone technology for enhancing safety and increase of fishery production through the access to reliable market information. The study employed interviews, focus group discussion, documents review, and observation in collecting data. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to obtain 70 respondents from Nyasa District Council which is found in Ruvuma Region, Tanzania. Content analysis technique was employed in data analysis. The findings indicate that although mobile phone technology is used by small-scale fishermen such as marketing of fishery products and sharing information about where to get big cashes, to a great extent, mobile phone technologies do not help them to improve safeties due to various challenges such as poor cell phone network, high costs of purchasing airtime and low quality of mobile handset which in turn hindering an effective communication. It was further observed that drowning, poor knowledge on weather forecast, poor fishing equipment, sexual transmitted diseases, stressful life, and family separation are key challenges that affect the lives of small-scale fishing practitioners in Lake Nyasa. This study contributes knowledge to the already existing literature on the role of mobile phone technology in the development of small-scale fishing sector in Tanzania and it lays down basis for development mobile virtual platform for improving safety and increase fishing productivity of the target users

Published: October 2022

It has been noted that the horticultural sector does not have a clear system to determine both demand and supply that reflects inappropriate market information sharing. This study explored the market information sharing and assessed challenges impacting effective market information sharing in the horticultural sector (vegetables and fruits). The study is qualitative in nature because it seeks to explore information and it was carried out in Dar es Salaam City. The study employed phenomenological design for describing the essence of the experiences for several individuals who have all experienced the phenomenon. Purposive sampling was used to identify the useful groups and then stratified sampling technique was employed to get a total of 34 respondents from the clusters: farmers, middlemen, vendors, and agricultural officers. Interviews and document reviews were the tools used for collecting both primary and secondary data and the data collected were analyzed by the use of MAXQDA 2020. The study found out that the needed information are price, availability of produce, transportation, and delivery and money transaction methods to be used. Secondly, the results show that information sharing in the industry employs two ways, that is, word of mouth and the use of mobile phones. There are many challenges impacting effective market information sharing such as personal interest in providing information, poor knowledge, poverty, unprotected e-business, poor network, and poor transport facilities. Based on the findings, we strongly recommend that education should be given to the entire industry, to formalize the industry, and sharing of the collected market information through various platforms to enhance availability to anybody's needs.

Subtraction from Supply and Demand: Challenges to Economic Theory, Representational Power, and Systems of Reference in Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener”
Authors: Benack Carolin
Published: October 2022

Herman Melville’s “Story of Wall Street” (1853), in which a lawyer gives an account of the life of the scrivener Bartleby, has been extensively commented on by scholars from a variety of disciplines. Many have found his enigmatic formula “I would prefer not to” to be the embodiment of a long sought-after remedy for seemingly fruitless revolts against oppressive capitalist mechanisms. In order to examine the potential of Bartleby’s challenge to power, I will read it against the representational authority of economic theory, and, more specifically, the supply and demand model. The close reading of Melville’s short story reveals that Bartleby’s resistance to productivity and consumption indeed “opens up a new space outside the hegemonic position and its negation” (Žižek 393). In addition, I will provide a reading regarding representational power in relation to the narrator and the (de)stabilization of systems of meaning production, in which I will draw mostly on works by Agamben and Deleuze. Bringing together these three readings, however, renders doubtful the potential of such challenges to power. In fact, Bartleby’s “I would prefer not to” might end up reaffirming already existing power structures.
The Negotiation of Vegetarianism as a Remedy for an American Sociocultural Schizophrenia in Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals
Authors: Beck Michaela
Published: October 2022

Reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals with a particular emphasis on the narrative dimension and rhetoric of the text, this article analyzes how Foer’s book employs the issue of vegetarianism to reveal and remedy a perceived condition of ‘American sociocultural schizophrenia’ in the context of modern-day factory farming. In particular, it pays attention to the psychological mechanisms involved in the process of meat consumption. The paper makes visible how Eating Animals employs the narrator’s story of achieving a sense of mental wholeness and unity through vegetarianism as a template for the larger state of disconnectedness and alienation with respect to American society and culture. Additionally, it is demonstrated how Foer’s text taps into the rhetoric of the American jeremiad in its discussion of vegetarianism in the face of modern-day factory farming to offer this diet as a potential and practical remedy for a perceived state of ‘American sociocultural schizophrenia.’ In doing so, the article aims to point to the implications of the entailed invocation of American values and identity in the global context of shifting and changing relations of power and identity.

Published: October 2022

Addressing health issues in paediatric population poses a major challenge to health care providers due to lack of child’s capability in expressing varied range of symptoms through which they undergo which may be of utmost diagnostic significance, thereby delaying early diagnosis. Unfortunately, Cancer is well known to be a common cause for increase in mortality rates in children. To achieve early diagnosis, careful attention to constellation symptoms portrayed by chid and/or parents suggestive of malignancy may aid in earlier diagnosis. With no disparity between early and late diagnosed cases, treatment modalities such as radio/chemotherapy and surgeries poses risk of recurrence, short and long term effects due to chemo/ radiation. To overcome all the aforementioned facts, new perspectives like targeted immunotherapy and Proton beam therapy proves beneficial and prevents children from emotional and physical trauma and primarily, from peer pressure. Updating with common head and cancers and advances in treatment may facilitate health care professionals in early diagnosis thereby, preventing disease progression. This article briefs about commonly occuring head and neck tumors in paediatrics, latest updates, advancements and an overview of impact of Global pandemic on current oncology practices with special concern on outcomes to be faced post pandemic.

Published: October 2022

Oral Buccal Exostoses are benign bony protuberances that arise from the cortical bone. They are named after their location such as torus palatinus if it arises in the palate and torus mandibularis, if it arises from the mandible. The etiopathogenesis is still unclear with various authors citing racial, genetic, teeth attrition, parafunctional habits and even nutritional factors. Though asymptomatic, surgical intervention becomes mandatory when esthetics are of concern or during denture fabrication in terms of edentulous alveolar ridge.
Financial Performance and Characteristics: A Comparison of Born Global and Gradual Internationalization Firms in China
Authors: Zhang Yanmei , Kim Minho , Chen Wenzheng
Published: October 2022

This study examines the financial performance and characteristics of born global firms (BGs) in China. While the literature on BGs is growing, few systematic studies have investigated their financial performance, especially for BGs from developing economies like China. This study compares the financial ratios and rates of BGs with those of gradual internationalization firms (GIs) using analysis of variance and data on 1,069 listed companies in China’s manufacturing industry. The results show that BGs are inferior to GIs in profitability, debt paying ability, growth potential, and asset quality but are similar to GIs in terms of asset management capabilities. Born global firms’ ROA, operating profit margin ratio, gross profit margin ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, P/BV, Tobin’s q, and growth ratios are lower than those of GIs; their debt ratio is higher than that of GIs, but their operating activity ratios are not statistically significantly different. The study also finds that ownership and size differences exert significantly impacts on the financial performance of BGs.
Exploradores de lo (ir)real. Nuevas voces de lo fantástico en la narrativa española actual
Authors: Roas David
Published: October 2022

En los últimos años, lo fantástico se ha convertido en una de las vías expresivas fundamentales en la narrativa española. Un amplio número de autores nacidos entre 1960 y 1975 cultiva lo fantástico con asiduidad, sobre todo en sus cuentos y microrrelatos. Se trata de escritores que han asumido el género con total normalidad, a la vez que exploran nuevas formas y temas vinculados con las concepciones estéticas e ideológicas de la Posmodernidad. Este artículo examina algunos de los elementos recurrentes en los relatos de estos autores con el objetivo de establecer una Poética de lo fantástico contemporáneo.

poesía de Rafael Alberti (de "Marinero en tierra" a "Pleamar")
Authors: Crespo López Mario
Published: October 2022

El presente texto reproduce el discurso de Leopoldo Rodríguez Alcalde dado en el Ateneo santanderino en el año 1949. Versa sobre la poesía de Rafael Alberti y su relación con el mar, del significado de sus elementos poéticos y de las conexiones metafóricas con otros escritores como García Lorca, Rubén Darío y Antonio Machado. Es un discurso relevante porque se dio en la época de la posguerra y no sufrió ninguna censura, pues además fue acogido por la institución oficial del Ateneo. Rodríguez Alcalde ensalza la figura de Alberti, narrando datos de su biografía que marcaron su obra, y establece similitudes con otros poetas coetáneos. Así, a lo largo del discurso, compara los poemas de Alberti desde el poemario Marinero en tierra al de Pleamar.
viaje de Turquía y Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo
Authors: Rodríguez López-Vázquez Alfredo
Published: October 2022

Sostenemos que el Viaje de Turquía y la Turcarum origo son obras de un mismo autor: Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo. La propuesta sobre el Viaje de Turquía se basa en un análisis léxico que abarca ambas obras y un conjunto de 192 palabras o expresiones poco usuales. Un primer cotejo deslinda dos autores que presentan índices léxicos muy superiores a los demás escritores de la época: Juan de Arze de Otálora y Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo. El análisis de Turcarum origo identifica a Fernández de Oviedo como su autor y el rastreo léxico del prólogo y su cotejo con un capítulo del Viaje confirman que Oviedo es el autor de ambos textos. Turcarum origo es un texto anterior a la publicación del Lazarillo de Tormes y el Viaje es posterior. Se detectan en él las lecturas del Lazarillo, de la Peregrinación de Hernández de Villaumbrales (1552) y del Libro de la oración y meditación de Fray Luis de Granada, libros todos ellos erasmistas. Proponemos también un filtro metodológico basado en la aplicación de logaritmos neperianos para diferenciar las frecuencias léxicas.

Authors: Rodríguez-Moranta Inma
Published: October 2022

En el presente artículo se recogen quince cartas inéditas que Gregorio Martínez Sierra remitió a Joan Maragall entre los años 1905 y 1909; la mayor parte de ellas fueron escritas a propósito de la gestación de la revista madrileña Renacimiento (1907). Las transcripciones vienen precedidas de un estudio que analiza dicha correspondencia y presta especial atención a la figura de Martínez Sierra como difusor e interlocutor de los literatos catalanes. Se reconstruye, así, un tramo de su relación amistosa y literaria con Maragall –tratando de indagar en las afinidades intelectuales entre ambos escritores−, a la vez que se revelan nuevos datos sobre el diálogo cultural entre Castilla y Cataluña en el contexto del Modernismo.
fundamentos ideológicos de las novelas de denuncia social y el populismo político en Latinoamérica (1940-1975)
Authors: Guaraglia Malvina
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se estudian algunas novelas escritas en América Latina entre 1940 y 1975 y que han quedado generalmente incluidas en lo que se conoce como «narrativa de denuncia social». Nuestro objetivo es doble: pretendemos demostrar que una nueva perspectiva puede surgir del análisis de los protagonistas colectivos a través del uso de un concepto que no ha sido asociado generalmente a esta narrativa: el de «pueblo» y sus diferentes acepciones; nos centramos asimismo en la influencia que el discurso de los populismos políticos puede haber tenido en la construcción de los protagonistas y en cómo este ofreció a las novelas algunas de las estrategias retóricas necesarias para representar a un nuevo sujeto histórico. Finalmente, trataremos de explicar por qué, si bien ha sido el marxismo la influencia más reconocida en estos textos, una aproximación desde el discurso populista puede resultar más apropiada.

"When defence decision-makers tend to look to the future and set objectives for short, medium and long term, they face uncertainties and try to work around multiple scenarios that differ in relation to various fields. One such field is that of economy. And economy has changed as global economic power has shifted. If global economy has shifted so has defence power. The purpose of this paper is to analyse what economic factors influence long-term defence planning and what decision-makers should try to consider when deciding upon different scenarios. Without rushing to conclusions, we can assume that we live in a highly volatile world, where there is a shift in terms of main global actors. With the evolution of technology, with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, with geopolitical shifts, like the situation in Afghanistan, all of these factors can be monitored under the umbrella of the economic impact that they have. The effects are there for us to study and to conclude on how the world that we will live in tomorrow shapes up and what decision-makers should focus on when it comes to thinking strategically about developing own countries’ defence power."

Land conversion is basically a natural thing to happen, but in reality it becomes a problem, because it occurs on agricultural land that is still productive and its availability is still limited. The negative impact of shifting the function of paddy fields is not only a decrease in agricultural production, but also has an impact on the socio-economic conditions of the community and the environment of the area concerned. In certain cases, the conversion of paddy fields is unavoidable. This study aims to, 1) Identify the types of land transfer in West Lombok Regency, 2). Analyzing the impact of land conversion on socio-economic conditions in West Lombok Regency and 3) Analyzing the impact of land conversion on socio-ecological conditions in West Lombok Regency. The results showed that the conversion of agricultural land is a change in the designation of agricultural land into non-agricultural land use. The potential land that has been widely converted in Labuapi, Gunungsari and Gerung sub-districts during the last five years (2010-2020) is paddy field and dry land which has changed its land use into housing, restaurants, shops and so on. There are different types of land conversion between the sample sub-districts/villages. Labuapi sub-district experienced large-scale agricultural land conversion, while Gunungsari and Gerung sub-districts experienced small agricultural land conversion. In general, the conversion of agricultural land in the sample sub-districts/villages has a negative impact on socio-economic aspects such as changes in land tenure, employment opportunities, changes in work patterns.

This research takes the title “Effectiveness of Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution From Distributors Through Farmers’ Kiosk to Farmer Level (Case Study in West Lombok Regency). The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the subsidized fertilizer subsidy policy in its distribution from distributors to retail kiosks until it was accepted by farmers who were members of farmer groups. Determination of research areas purvosively in two sub-districts, namely Narmada sub-district and Gunungsari sub-district, West Lombok district. The population in this study are farmers who are members of farmer groups who use subsidized fertilizers in processing their farming business. Determining the sample as many as 120 respondents were determined randomly by random sampling from each selected farmer group in the work area of the subsidized fertilizer retailer kiosk. The research method used to analyze and measure the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer is descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. by using four main indicators, namely, right place, right time, right quantity and right price. The results showed that from the four indicators that were observed, it could be said that the distribution of subsidized fertilizer from the distributor to the farmer level. 83.0%, the aspect of suitability with a ratio of 74.45%, the aspect of the suitability of the amount of fertilizer with an average achievement percentage of 55.28% and the ratio ratio with a ratio of 43, 04%. If viewed from the five aspects of fertilizer presentation, the application of subsidized fertilizer seen from these five aspects is 69.24%, based on the fertilizer subsidy policy criteria (Permendagri; 2011) then the delivery of subsidized fertilizer in the research area is in the effective category. With changes in government policy on fertilizer prices which are increasing at any time, farmers are expected to be able to use fertilizers according to the recommendations recommended by the government. In addition, to anticipate the general shortage of fertilizers, the government is currently selling non-subsidized fertilizers to farmers at quite high prices.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi motivasi konsumsi sayuran serta keeratan hubungan antara motivasi dan konsumsi sayur pada santri pondok pesantren Al-Imdad. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif (purposive proporsional random sampling) dengan kuesioner. Responden yang digunakan adalah 100 santri. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah korelasi rank spearman. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa motivasi santri dalam mengkonsumsi sayuran memiliki dua variabel yaitu variabel rasional pada indikator ketersediaan dengan presentase paling tinggi sebanyak 47% setuju dan 44% sangat Setuju. Variabel emosional dengan indikator kepratisan memiliki presentase paling tinggi sebesar 39% setuju dan 47% sangat setuju. Motivasi santri yang paling memdominasi diantara keduanya adalah motivasi variabel rasional. Hasil uji keeratan hubungan antar dua variabel motivasi dan konsumsi menunjukkan variabel motivasi memiliki korelasi yang cukup tinggi dengan konsumsi sayur. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hasil uji korelasi rank spearman/nilai r hitung untuk setiap indikator yang melebihi nilai kriteria koefisien korelasi yang telah ditentukan. Nilai rho variabel rasional pada indikator ketersediaan = 0,324, kesukaan = 0,328, uang jajan = 0,114, fast food atau sayuran= 0,530, pengaruh teman = 0,276, media massa = 0,358, pengetahuan gizi = 0,317, yang artinya masing-masing indikator variabel rasional memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan konsumsi sayur kecuali indikator uang saku yaitu 0,114 yang memiliki hubungan rendah. Hasil uji korelasi rank spearman pada variabel emosional diperoleh nilai rho pada indikator pengenalan = 0,380, kebanggaan = 0,399, kenyamanan = 0,058, kesehatan = 0,351, keamanan = 0,375, dan kepraktisan = 0,347. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa masing-masing indikator memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan konsumsi sayur siswa. Kecuali indikator kenyamanan yaitu 0,058 yang memiliki hubungan rendah.

Published: October 2022

Total hip arthroplasty with metal-on-metal bearing is associated with specific complications: local delayed hypersensitivity reaction (ALVAL) to metal particles, osteolysis and the development of pseudotumors. This process results from the low resistance of the metal bearing to abrasion and corrosion, which causes the release of metal ions into the surrounding tissues. This paper presents the case of a 54-year-old man who required revision surgery due to aseptic loosening of the endoprosthesis with a ceramic (TiN)-on-metal bearing. The removed implants were subjected to material analysis. Mean chemical analysis revealed that the main component of the residue samples was titanium, which constituted 65% of the sample weight, followed by calcium (16%), phosphorus (11%) and aluminum (3.8%). The fissures on the insert were a result of trauma caused by the head, with both elements matching in terms of visible damage. More than 50% of the surface of the head had been damaged due to abrasive wear. The transitional area between the normal and completely delaminated TiN coating shows uneven abrasion, a gradual decrease in coating thickness. In conclusion, the use of endoprosthesis heads with TiN ceramic coating involves very low polyethylene wear. The low resistance of TiN ceramic coating to trauma and the fragility of this coating prevent the use of TiN-coated heads in combination with any non-polyethylene hip endoprosthesis inserts.

Published: October 2022

This article aims to investigate the effectiveness of the use of ultraviolet radiation or a combination of ultraviolet radiation and ozonation in the inactivation of microorganisms in activated carbon "Silcarbon".

Several experimental studies where ultraviolet light, a combination of UV radiation, and ozonation were used have been performed to disinfect "Silcarbon" from microbiological contaminants.

Experimental results have shown that with pulsed xenon lamps and low-pressure mercury ozone lamps, satisfactory results can be obtained in which the total amount of yeast and mould fungi range from 50 CFU/g to 75 CFU/g.

It is advisable to continue the study of powder materials, including drugs, on the content of microbiological contaminants to assess their compliance with regulatory requirements.

The application of the proposed approach to the inactivation of microorganisms allows one to obtain a safe sorbent on the content of microbiological indicators and can be successfully used in any other field to disinfection powder materials using different modes of UV irradiation.

The originality of the article's results proposes a method of disinfection of the sorbent "Silcarbon" from moulds and yeasts for therapeutic purposes in medicine.
