Financial instrument of the new economy or a pyramid scheme: The issues of cryptocurrency security
Authors: PASHTOVA Lelya G. , OSEEV Vyacheslav A. , KLEMENOV Dmitrii A.
Published: June 2021

Subject. This article discusses cryptocurrency as a new financial instrument in the global financial system. Objectives. The article aims to consider the current situation of cryptocurrencies and justify the advantages and risks of their use. Methods. For the study of cryptocurrency, Blockchain technology, and Bitcoin and the US dollar relationship, we used a comprehensive approach based on systems, functional and structural, and correlation analyses. Results. Based on the analysis of the trends in the cryptocurrency market formation, the problematic aspects of their legal regulation, the investment aspect, and the changes in the cryptocurrency exchange rate against the US dollar, the article identifies some shortcomings of this financial instrument from the point of view of supervisory bodies. Conclusions. Cryptocurrency really has significant prospects to become a valuable financial tool in the world economy, despite the rather critical problems of their regulation. Cryptocurrency can be a substitute for the US dollar in international settlements due to its advantages in the form of transparency and decentralization, especially given the fact that in 2019–2020, the governments of a number of countries (EU, Russia) began to actively develop legislation to regulate this area.
DEVELOPING A SELF-PACED COURSE MODULE IN INFORMATION-FINDING AND LITERACY SKILLS FOR COURSEBASED MASTERS' STUDENTS
Authors: Sterling Evan , Hurtubise Jolene
Published: June 2021

Academic librarians in Canada often teach information research skills and information literacy tostudents, including engineering students, via class presentations. These skills include knowledge of the diverse technical information sources available, the use of specialised databases and free search tools, and assessing and properly citing information; they are important in graduate studies and in engineering practise. Course-based masters’ students are a growing demographic in engineering, however their particular needs have not as often been targeted by librarians. In this project, we developed a graded asynchronous course module in these skills, for a new course in professional skills for M.Eng. students. It uses text, images, videos, short assignments and quizzes to follow thegeneral research and writing process for a technical report, marking a significant increase in the contact time for these skills. To date the unit has been taught twice, to over 200 students, with overall feedback being positive. We plan to continue its development and make it openlyavailable.
EFFECT OF MENTORSHIP ON THE EARLY ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Mouammer Loujein , Bazan Carlos
Published: June 2021

Acknowledging the value of entrepreneurs in today’s society, universities are looking into mentorship to improve their support system for students considering entrepreneurship as a viable career path after graduation. This paper reports the main findings of a systematic literaturereview aimed at understanding the role that mentorship plays during the early entrepreneurial journey of university students. That is, identifying what motivates students to seek mentorship and recognizing the critical elements of successful mentorship programs that develop robustmentor-mentee relationships. The systematic literature review classified the selected articles into three thematic categories: mentoring in entrepreneurship, gender differences in mentoring, and mentorship programs in business incubation. Findings in the combined categories suggest that a positive mentoring experience depends on the mentor’s credibility and connection inthe business world and the mentee’s perception of similarities between their mentor and themselves.
Russian border regions in the economic corridor of China-Mongolia-Russia
Authors: Sysoeva Natalia , Rudneva Vera
Published: June 2021

The object of the paper are the border regions of Siberia as a part of the planned China-MongoliaRussia economic corridor in China’s foreign policy initiative “One Belt One Road”. The aim of the study is to reveal the nature of the interaction of these regions with the outside world to determine the ways of their development within a common economic space of the corridor. The study is based on the analysis of foreign investment flows to the border regions using macro- and microeconomic methods. The volume foreign capital goes mainly to mining, while other industries are dominated by small enterprises formed by foreign citizens, not corporations. In these areas, intermediary business prevails, which does not require increased human capital. China is gradually replacing other counter-partners in the use of natural resources, including mineral and forest ones. The problems of development of the border regions in common economic space of the corridor due to similar resource specialisation and weak development of the embedded economy have been identified. With the development of transit infrastructure, it is necessary to develop local industries integrated into large projects and capable of using this infrastructure to expand sales markets.

Scientists’ attitudes towards academic entrepreneurship: the results of an empirical study
Authors: Olszewski Marcin
Published: June 2021

In recent years, there has been growing pressure on both universities and enterprises to intensify cooperation. The subject of this article here is academic entrepreneurship at the researcher level. The aim is to identify attitudes towards such entrepreneurship and define the diversity of attitudes. Moreover, it has been established how such attitudes towards entrepreneurship differentiate the intention and commitment to start cooperation with industry in reality. Achieving this aim required an empirical study involving primary sources. The study subjects were university researchers working on tourism issues, and a total of 73 participated. Methods from descriptive statistics and the chi-square test of independence were used to analyse the results. According to the study, researchers are much more likely to perceive the benefits than the disadvantages of cooperation, and the benefits perceived most are chances to obtain information and the inspiration to conduct academic and didactic work. The work also found that researchers who see academic entrepreneurship as an opportunity for financial benefit and see cooperation as an opportunity to increase enterprises’ competitive advantage significantly more often declare their intention to engage in it.
Postawy przedsiębiorcze młodzieży w najmniejszych miastach regionu łódzkiego
Authors: Kulawiak Anita
Published: June 2021

Celem artykułu jest określenie i ocena potencjału przedsiębiorczego młodzieży oraz zwrócenie na tym tle uwagi na bariery, które potencjalnie, w przyszłości, mogą utrudnić młodym ludziom wejście w rolę przedsiębiorcy. Analiza ta opiera się na koncepcji postawy S. Nowaka (1973). W badaniu uwzględniono zatem jej trzy komponenty – poznawczy, emocjonalno-oceniający oraz behawioralny. Artykuł powstał na podstawie analizy literatury przedmiotu oraz badań terenowych z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza ankiety. Grupę badawczą stanowiła młodzież szkół średnich z wybranych miast regionu łódzkiego, na terenie których znajduje się przynajmniej jedna publiczna szkoła średnia. Badania ujawniły, że respondentów cechował mocno zbilansowany poziom poszczególnych komponentów postawy, co oznacza, że zarówno poziom ich wiedzy na temat przedsiębiorczości oraz stosunek emocjonalny do tego zjawiska, jak i gotowość do podjęcia własnej aktywności jest na zbilansowanym poziomie. Największą barierą dla pełnego rozwinięcia postaw przedsiębiorczych młodzieży na badanym obszarze pozostaje środowisko lokalne.
Social entrepreneurship and selected elements of the entrepreneurship ecosystem
Authors: Murzyn Dorota
Published: June 2021

The article aims to analyse the development of social entrepreneurship in the entrepreneurial ecosystem’s context based on the example of three countries: Poland, Italy and North Macedonia. The theoretical framework for the analysis and interpretation of the results is determined by new institutional economics and entrepreneurship theories. In turn, the empirical part is based on the analysis of selected indicators on the development of social entrepreneurship; a diagnostic survey has also been carried out among stakeholders (representatives of entities related to social entrepreneurship), and young people in Poland, Italy and North Macedonia. The analysis allows for the of the leading research hypothesis which assumes that one of the most essential and basic elements of the social entrepreneurship ecosystem is knowledge, and its low level within society is a barrier to its development. To make the most of its potential, and increase employment in social enterprises, it is essential to integrate social entrepreneurship with mainstream entrepreneurship and business education.
Experiential and result-driven entrepreneurship education: evidence from an international project
Authors: Badzińska Ewa
Published: June 2021

The search for effective learning pathways and transformative changes in both the conceptual and curricular field and technological areas are significant challenges for higher education institutions (HEIs). Although a wide range of methods, tools, and interactive channels are available to shape an entrepreneurial mindset, students need clear objectives and understanding embedded in multidisciplinary knowledge and transferable competencies to implement practical business practice solutions. The article’s main objective is to present an experiential and result-driven approach to entrepreneurship education that aims to support students in solving real business problems by interacting with the local environment. The participatory co-creation process involved international students (147 participants from 16 nationalities), and the three cycles of two-week intensive programmes (2017–2019) were carried out within the framework of the international project ECMT+. This experimental education process is presented here using the case study method based on the author’s experience, observation and reflection.The study reveals that hands-on activities designed for the project positively affected student learning outcomes and motivated them to acquire entrepreneurial competencies. However, entrepreneurship education has to be more inclusive and develop good practice to meet local needs and more diverse learners.

Authors: Arga Mustafa , Topal Erdem , Yılmaz Sıla , Erdemli Pınar Canızcı , Bıçakcı Kübra , Bakırtaş Arzu
Published: June 2021

Background. Inadequate practices in diagnosis and management of anaphylaxis in parallel with an increase in its prevalence may cause serious public health problems today. This is the first study aiming to assess the theoretical knowledge of professional and non-professional healthcare workers from different lines of the healthcare service chain about anaphylaxis management, and their practice approaches for epinephrine autoinjectors (EAIs) together.
Methods. The study included 697 participants comprising physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and school staff. In face-to-face interviews, each participant was asked to fill out the questionnaire forms prepared for assessing their demographic characteristics, experience with a case of anaphylaxis and EAI and theoretical knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis, and to demonstrate how to use EAI in practice with trainer device.
Results. The rates of 391 physicians, 98 dentists, 102 pharmacists and 105 school staff of knowing the diagnosis criteria of anaphylaxis were 47.6%, 31.6%, 31.1%, 19%, and knowing the first and life-saving treatment of anaphylaxis were 87.2%, 79.6%, 47.6%, 15.2%, respectively. Predictors that affected physicians in knowing the first and life-saving treatment of anaphylaxis were having experience with EAIs [OR:5.5, (%95CI:1.330-23.351, p=0.015)] and a case of anaphylaxis [OR:2.4, (%95CI:1.442-4.020, p=0.001)], and knowing the administration route of epinephrine correctly [OR:1.9, (%95CI:1.191-3.314, p=0.008)]. 31.1% of the participants demonstrated the EAI usage correctly. The EAI usage steps with the most errors were `Place the appropriate injection tip into outer thigh/Press the trigger so it `clicks`` and `Turn the trigger to arrow direction` (60.3% and 34.9%, respectively).
Conclusions. Healthcare workers` knowledge level regarding anaphylaxis management and ability to use EAIs correctly are not adequate. That most errors were made in the same steps of EAI usage indicates that the industry should continue to strive for developing the ideal life-saving device.

Authors: Li Yun-Peng , Song Hong-Cheng , Ma Xiao-Li , He Le-Jian , Zhang Wei-Ping
Published: June 2021

Background. To analyze the relationship between tumor viability in specimens retrieved at second-look procedures (SLPs) and clinical outcomes in patients with bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (BP RMS).
Methods. We retrospectively analyzed patients` characteristics, times between diagnoses and SLPs, types of SLPs, the pathological findings, and clinical outcomes between January 2003 and May 2014.
Results. A total of 29 patients underwent at least one SLP before completing chemotherapy, including 24 boys and 5 girls. The mean age was 36 months. No patients with clinical/radiographic complete responses (CRs) had viable tumor cells and 7/18 patients (38.9%) without CR had no viable tumor cells. Seven patients experienced tumor relapse, progression, and metastasis, and three of these survived. Five-year event-free survival (EFS) rates were 88.5% in 18 patients without viable tumor at SLPs and 54.5% in 11 patients with viable tumor (Cox proportional hazards adjusted P=0.045). The respective five-year overall survival (OS) rates were 94.1% and 72.7% (Cox proportional hazards adjusted P=0.175).
Conclusions. EFS was increased in patients with BP RMS having no viable tumor cells; however, OS was comparable in patients with and without viable tumor cells. Patients who achieved CR during the treatment generally had no viable tumor cells.
Tracking postural stability of children and adolescents after a concussion: sport-related versus non-sport-related concussion
Authors: Çınar Eda , Grilli Lisa , Friedman Debbie , Gagnon Isabelle
Published: June 2021

Background. Although postural impairments have long been reported following a concussion in the pediatric population, we still know very little about who is more at risk of presenting those balance problems and how the mechanism of injury (sport vs non-sport) could influence balance problems after concussions. The purpose of this study was to compare balance function in children having sustained a sport-related (SRC) or non-sport-related (NSRC) concussion, to that of children with an orthopedic injury (OI) and to non-injured (NI), over a one-year period.
Methods. One-hundred and twelve participants were included in this study. Among them, 38 were concussed, with 27 having sustained a SRC; and 11 an NSRC, as well as 38 NI, and 36 OI. Balance function was evaluated at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after a concussion, and at the same time intervals for the control groups. The balance subtest of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT2) and Timed Foam Test was used to measure postural instability. Concussion related symptoms were measured by the Post Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS).
Results. There was an improvement in tandem standing on the balance beam (P=.02) and in single-leg standing (SL) on foam surface (P=.02) for all groups over a year. At the 2nd week, NSRC had more postural instability than NI during SL on the balance beam when eyes were closed (P =.01), and performed significantly worse than SRC (P =.01) and NI (P =.01) during SL on the foam surface. NSRC also reported more symptoms than SRC on PCSS (P < 0.001). In the 3rd month, NSRC still had lower performance than SRC in SL on foam surface (P =.01).
Conclusions. Children sustaining a concussion outside of a sport seem to have higher levels of postural instability up to 3 months post-injury when compared to those injured in sport.
Infantile tremor syndrome secondary to peroral vitamin B12 replacement therapy: a report of two cases with myoclonus
Authors: Dilber Beril , Reis Gökçe Pınar
Published: June 2021

Background. Abnormal movements such as tremors and myoclonus may be observed during both treatment and deficiency of vitamin B12, particularly in infants. Infantile tremor syndrome (ITS) is defined by the tetrad of pallor, developmental delay/regression, skin pigmentation, and brown scanty scalp hair.
Case. In this report, two cases with ITS aged less than one year who had myoclonic movements during vitamin peroral B12 treatment are discussed based on hematologic, neurological, and magnetic resonance images (MRI) findings, one of whom developed a whole-body tremor and rhythmic myoclonic movements, titubation, and restlessness in the hands and feet as well as diffuse cerebral atrophy on brain MRI.
Conclusion. The infants of mothers with nutritional vitamin B12 deficiency may develop sudden abnormal movements following peroral vitamin B12 therapy and that the differential diagnosis of these disorders is highly important for the prevention of long-term neurological sequela by treatment.

Authors: Akın Mustafa Emre , Çıtak-Kurt Ayşegül Neşe , Bayhan Gülsüm İclal , Ezgü Zeynep Dinçer , Bulut Sevtap Şimşek
Published: June 2021

Background. Mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a known clinical-radiological description. However, MERS with extensive lesions (MERS type-2) is rarely associated with adenovirus. There are only three published cases of MERS type-2 associated with adenovirus infection.
Case. We present a 10-year-old previously healthy girl who presented with speech difficulty and mild encephalopathy after three days of prodromal illness. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral diffusion restriction in the parietal white matter, splenium and genu of the corpus callosum without mass effect and slight thickening at the splenium of corpus callosum with no contrast enhancement. With empirical and support treatment, her neurological examination was completely normal by the 18th hour. The nasopharyngeal respiratory adenoviral PCR resulted positive. She was discharged with total clinical and radiological resolution on the 10th day of admission. The case was diagnosed with MERS type-2 which is rarely associated with adenoviral infection.
Conclusion. This report is the first case of adenovirus related MERS type-2 in a Turkish child. Pediatricians, child neurologists, child infection specialists and radiologists should recognize this condition to ensure appropriate diagnosis.
Intralymphatic immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Werner Michael T. , Bosso John V.
Published: June 2021

Background: Only a fraction of patients with allergic rhinitis receive allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). AIT is most commonly delivered subcutaneously in a series of injections over 3‐5 years. Common obstacles to completing this therapy include cost and inconvenience.
Intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) has been proposed as a faster alternative, which requires as few as three injections spaced 4 weeks apart. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the current evidence that supports the use of ILIT for allergic rhinitis.
Methods: Clinical trials were identified in the published literature by using an electronic search strategy and were evaluated by using a risk of bias tool. Treatment outcome (symptom scores, medication scores, and combined symptom and medication scores) and provocation testing
results (nasal provocation and skin-prick testing) were included in a meta-analysis of standardized mean difference with subgrouping by using a random-effects model. Overall adverse event rates were tabulated, and overall risk ratios were calculated by using a random-effects model.
Results: We identified 17 clinical trials that met eligibility criteria. The standardized mean difference of ILIT on the symptom and medication score was ‐0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI], ‐0.98 to ‐0.46; p < 0.0001) (n = 10). The standardized mean
difference of ILIT on nasal provocation and skin-prick testing was ‐1.00 (95% CI, ‐1.38 to ‐0.61; p < 0.0001) (n = 7) and ‐0.73 (95% CI, ‐0.99 to ‐0.47; p < 0.0001) (n = 7), respectively. No statistically significant heterogeneity
was detected. The overall adverse event rate was 39.5% for ILIT and 23.5% for placebo. Also, 98.4% of adverse events were mild. Conclusion: Our meta-analysis demonstrated that ILIT was safe, conferred desensitization to seasonal and nonseasonal allergens, alleviated allergic
rhinitis symptoms, and reduced medication use. A larger randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial will be necessary for wider adaptation of this form of AIT.

Career Advancement: The Experiences of Minority Nurses in Accessing Leadership Positions in a Tertiary Care Setting
Authors: Bouabdillah Naima , Perron Amélie , Holmes Dave
Published: June 2021

Minority nurses are underrepresented in leadership roles in the Canadian healthcare system. The purpose of this study was to explore MNs’ perceptions and experiences with regards to career development and MNs in leadership positions. Twelve nurses, four Caucasian and eight from the Caribbean and Africa in a tertiary care setting were recruited through purposive sampling. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed, coded, and analyzed using critical ethnography. Findings revealed lack of social support, of equal opportunities, of recognition and of trust. Despite negative experiences, minority nurses recognized the value of their work experience at the hospital where they were employed. Committing to a diverse workforce in leadership roles can ultimately have an effect on patient care. Minority nurses’ leadership is needed to provide role models and to ensure the delivery of competent care to diverse populations.

Authors: Salih Ali Mohammed , Williams Craig , Khanaqa Polla
Published: June 2021

The present work involves the study of the removal of Cu2+, Fe3+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ from synthetic metal solutions using natural zeolite. Laboratory experiments were used to investigate the efficiency of adsorbents in the uptake of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. The kinetic study was used to identify the effect of parameters that affect the rate of adsorption and evaluated their impact on the efficiency of the zeolite in the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) as adsorbent contacted with multi-component synthetic solutions containing Cu2+, Fe3+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ ions without any pre-modifications and every hour 15 ml of the samples were filtered and taken for metal ion concentration analysis using the ICP-OES. The pH values were monitored and adjusted regularly. The results showed that the capacity of the adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals increased with a greater mass of absorbent, increased initial solution pH, increased agitation speed and higher solution concentration.
Resistance against religious intolerance in Indonesia contemporary indie songs
Authors: Prawadika Aji Angga , Mauradiya Adinda , Kurniawan Ferhandito
Published: June 2021

This study sought to examine any form of criticism and resistance against the growing religious intolerance in Indonesian contemporary indie songs. The study of indie music is often marginalised in media and communication studies, even though the music itself is an effective form of media to convey socio-political messages. Indie music shows an increasingly crucial role within the map of cultural products in Indonesia mainly because it is considered an important means of conveying messages and alternative media for new Indonesian youth. Indie musicians cover sensitive issues within their lyric, including religious intolerance perpetrated by conservative Muslim groups in Indonesia. Through the discourse analysis method by Teun Van Dijk, this study found three forms of resistance discourse found in Indonesian indie music: a critique towards middle-class Muslims hypocrisy, rejection against the imposition of the sharia law, and the lament over the loss of humanity in religious practice. The research findings show that indie songs serve as a medium of resistance to a more secular, youthful audience against many issues seldom covered in mainstream media.

Sampang, a small regency in Madura Island, Indonesia, has successfully maintained the low case of Covid-19. This article elaborates on the success of the Sampang Regency in maintaining its green zone status. More specifically, what is the Sampang government's communication strategy during the Covid-19 pandemics. This article used a qualitative method with a case study approach in ten villages of Sampang with a Focus Group Discussion. The results show that the local elite's communication strategy in Sampang during the pandemic situation does not only physically come directly to the field or meet villagers but also virtually using mass media effective to maintain the low index Covid-19 transmission.
Símbolos de masculinidad(es). Investigación para la creación de una propuesta visual sobre el género
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), Laurent Charpentier Claudio Petit
Published: June 2021

El presente texto surge como un proceso de investigación artística que tiene como objetivo elaborar una propuesta visual que aborde la problemática de la identidad masculina en el contexto social y cultural actual. Para ello se hace necesario generar un marco teórico acerca de la temática de género, partiendo de las teorías feministas y de los estudios de masculinidad, que permitirán establecer las categorías de análisis de las que surgirá el imaginario para la elaboración de la propuesta visual. Se parte de las nociones del género entendido como construcción social y, por lo tanto, se establece un vínculo de referencia visual con la ciudad como manifestación material de las estructuras de significado que delimitan los procesos de elaboración de identidad de los individuos. Finalmente, sobre la base de una metodología de análisis semiótico respecto del conjunto de signos y símbolos que componen el imaginario construido a partir de las categorías planteadas por el marco teórico, se articulará, a través del lenguaje pictórico, una propuesta visual que plantee un cuestionamiento a la rigidez de dichas estructuras, aludiendo a la diversidad de masculinidades que se viven en la actualidad.

Published: June 2021

On the one hand, our aim with this paper is try to analyse how Harry Potter stories were built under postmodern narrative patterns in which J.K. Rowling is a late and elusive example. On the other hand, we reflect on how this creative literature process proposes the combination and reformulation of several references of the Western Culture: religious and mythical, artistic and all those related to popular tradition. All this was taken into account when the books metamorphosed into the successful movie saga.

Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla (España), Tena Ramírez Carmen de
Published: June 2021

The aim of this paper is to reveal unpublished news on the production of Spain’s monumental catalogues. This information has been located in the epistolary collection of the Sevillian scholar José Gestoso, kept at the Institución Colombina in Seville. This information has been extracted from the letters this personality received from some of his authors. It helps to trace the intrahistory of one of the most important projects undertaken in Spain in favour of the knowledge and protection of historical and artistic heritage. Given the private nature of the documentation, the more human side of the cataloguing tasks is perceived, and how they were conceived and interpreted personally and individually by their protagonist

Authors: Chandra Dian Novita , Pansawira Pittara , Bardosono Saptawati
Published: June 2021

This study aims to explore risk factors of low hemoglobin status (anemia) among workers in three different workplaces in Indonesia. Cross-sectional study design was applied to screen hemoglobin value by using a multiwave pulse total-hemoglobinometer Masimo® and obtain socio-demographic characteristics using a questionnaire. Three workplaces were purposively selected to have total population eligible for this study. Health safety protocol was applied both for the subjects and researchers as COVID19 prevention. Statistical analyses were used accordingly to find potential risk factor(s) of anemia among workers. A total of 2386 eligible subjects with mean age of 36.8 ± 9.2 years participated in this study consisted of mainly male workers (85.3%), mostly married (79.0%), never smoke (55.8%) and working in shift (68.7%). Mean of hemoglobin value was 14.2 ± 1.2 mg/dL with anemia prevalence of 9.9%. Risk factor of anemia among workers were female-gender, non-marriage status, never smoking and no-work shift. However, the potential determinant for anemia among workers was female-gender, in which the prevalence of anemia was 24.6% as compared to 7.4% in male-gender. Keep providing free meal in the workplace canteen is a must, but there is a need to provide iron and vitamin C-fortified food and/or iron and vitamin C supplement especially for female workers.

Pollen analysis makes it possible to determine the reproductive potential of sunflower plants by the morphological characteristics of pollen grains with the aim of breeding to increase yields. The research was carried out in 2019–2020 at V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, Krasnodar. The objects of the research were plants of cultivated sunflower Helianthus annuus L.: four hybrids – Factor, Typhoon, Oxy and NK Brio, confectionery variety Djinn, two parental lines of the hybrid Oxy – VK876 B and VK195, as well as a perennial wild growing hexaploid species H. tuberosus L. Pollen was stained with acetoorcein and viewed under a microscope Micros MS 20. The diameter of pollen grains in the hybrids Factor, NK Brio, Typhoon, Oxy, the line VK195 and the cultivar Djinn varied from 34 to 31 μm. The line VK876 B and H. tuberosus were characterized by the lowest values of this trait – 29 and 27 μm, respectively. For the line VK876 B and the hybrid Oxy, significant morphological heterogeneity of pollen was observed, which was expressed in a correspondingly high proportion of abnormal pollen grains – 34 and 26%. At the same time, there was a two-peak distribution of the values of the diameter of pollen grains. The morphological heterogeneity of the pollen grains of the hybrid Oxy is associated with the dominant inheritance of this trait from the maternal CMS-form VK876 A, since the paternal line VK195 has a normal characteristic of pollen grains. The pollen of the hybrid NK Brio showed a significantly higher (by 25%) seed setting in crossing with the CMS tester than that of the hybrid Oxy, which confirms the assumption that there is a relation between an increased proportion of abnormal pollen grains and reduced pollen fertility.

Published: June 2021

In 2020, we submitted the spring rapeseed variety Sibiryak 60 bred at the Siberian Experimental Station (branch of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops) to the State Commission of the Russian Federation on testing and protection of the selection achievements. We developed the variety by the method of multiple individual-family selection from the variety Avangard (All-Russian Research Institute of Rapeseed, Lipetsk). In 2012, there was identified an elite plant and further breeding work was carried out to improve the main economic traits: early maturity, productivity, oil content, resistance to lodging, seed falling and to the main pathogens. The general characteristics of the variety are high seed productivity and low content of glucosinolates in seeds. According to the results of the competitive variety trial (2018–2020), the spring rapeseed variety Sibiryak 60 exceeded the standard variety Granit in seed yield by 0.29 t/ha and in oil yield by 0.12 t/ha. In the conditions of the Krasnodar region, the variety Sibiryak 60 exceeded the standard variety Granit in seed yield by 0.31 t/ha, in the conditions of the Lipetsk region – by 0.30 t/ha. The new variety is meant to for cultivation for seeds in the Volgo-Vyatka (4), Middle Volga (7), Ural (9), West Siberian (10), and East Siberian (11) regions. The originator of the variety Sibiryak 60 is V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops.

The work was conducted in the laboratory of immunity of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops during 2016–2020. Twelve homozygous lines resistant to broomrape races A–G were developed from the sources of different origin. A line RG and other five: RGL1, RGL2, RGР1, RGР2, and RGВ, were described in the previous articles (Antonova et al., 2016, Araslanova et al., 2020) [1; 2]. Further new lines we named as 2RGB, 2RGN, 2RGL, 2RGS, 2RGNV, and 2RGA. We tested these lines for distinguishability, homogeneity and stability according to a technique “Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)” stated in a publication RTG/01/3 “Common introduction into testing of distinguishability, homogeneity and stability and compilation of description” of 22.07.2002 No 12-06/52 (Official bulletin of the State Commission No 6, 2002) [3]. The new lines also as the previous ones are differed from each other by their morphological traits, such as duration of a period from emergence to plants flowering, plants height, shape and color of a leaf and ray flower, etc. This description of the lines resistant to broomrape race G can be used in breeding practice at development of sunflower hybrids.

The researches were conducted in the laboratory of oil flax breeding of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, Krasnodar 2019– 2020. We studied the samples from the highly oleic collection of flax of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops in order to select the best ones for introduction into a breeding process to improve the existing varieties and develop new ones with a good combination of biological and economically valuable traits. The samples from our collection demonstrated variability by the general economically valuable and biological traits. Thus, difference in duration of a period emergence–maturing was from 10 to 12 days depending on year and weather conditions. Maximal plant height (63.3 сm) was noted in 2020, and minimal (38.0 cm) was similar in all years of the research. Seed yield per a plot varied from 32.5 to 112.5 g/m 2 in 2019 and from 30.0 to 175.0 g/m 2 in 2020. The highest yield (175.0 g/m2) was fixed in 2020, and minimal one (30.0 g/m2) was at the same level in all years of the research. The samples from the collection were differed by their oil content in seeds: from 44.6 to 48.7% in 2019 and from 44.8 to 49.3% in 2020. Variation of this trait by years was 4.1–4.5%, difference between years of the research was equal to 0.4%. The presence of variability in oil contents in seeds among samples from flax collection proves a possibility to conduct selections by this trait in all breeding nurseries of the laboratory. Thus, in 2020 we selected two samples with oil content in seeds more than 49.0%.

The early maturing soybean cultivar Triada was developed as a result of individual selection in F4 from the hybrid combination Belogorskaya × Vilana on differentiating backgrounds for traits of reduced response to day length, cold and frost resistance, drought tolerance. Additionally, the degree of cold resistance of the initial germplasm for the breeding from a cultivar Iney was evaluated by a cryosedimentation method. According to the results of the variety trials of 2019–2020, the cultivar Triada in terms of yield exceeded the standard cultivar Slavia by 0.62 t/ha. The height of plants at the latitude of Krasnodar (45°) is 95–125 cm. The new high-yielding soybean cultivar Triada is highly resistant to low air and soil temperatures, and reacts weakly to nonoptimal day lengths. This allows it to be cultivated as a main crop in the Northern Caucasian, Central Chernozem and Low Volga regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in the Republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan at geographic latitudes from 40 to 50°.
Multimodality imaging in shoulder arthroplasties Part 1: Biomechanics, indications, preoperative imaging, and types of arthroplasties – A pictorial review

Published: June 2021

Shoulder biomechanics, shoulder arthroplasty indications and types and appropriate pre-operative imaging are discussed in part one of this two-part pictorial review. Shoulder biomechanics in severe osteoarthritis and following reverse shoulder arthroplasty are represented graphically, with discussion on the principles of reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Case examples are utilized to demonstrate the main indications for shoulder arthroplasty.

The decision of whether to proceed with arthroplasty and the arthroplasty type is heavily influenced by the pre-operative imaging. Factors for type of arthroplasty include arthroplasty indication, the integrity of the deltoid and rotator cuff musculature, and the amount of glenoid and humeral head bone stock. The key findings to look for and comment on across a range of imaging modalities are reviewed, using multiple cases including plain radiography, CT, ultrasound, and MRI. Examples of arthroplasty options are provided including humeral head resurfacing arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty, anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

A good understanding of the above principles is crucial for the radiologist to interpret pre-operative imaging correctly and aid in surgical planning.

Authors: Davies Mark , Botchu Rajesh , James Steven
Published: June 2021

Objectives:

The aim of this study was to assess the incidence and significance of pes anserine exostosis.

Material and Methods:

A retrospective search of radiological reports of an individual radiologist over a 12-year period with the term “anserine” was performed.

Results:

There were 34 pes anserine exostoses which arose at an average of 3.6 cm from the medial joint line. The average incidence of pes anserine exostosis is 1 in 1500 patients undergoing radiographs of one or both knees.

Conclusion:

Pes anserine exostosis is an incidental finding and is of doubtful clinical significance with no evidence of associated pes anserine bursitis. This is the largest series of pes anserine exostosis.
Easy and safe repair of quadriceps tendon rupture through transosseous sutures: A technical note
Authors: Iosifidis Michael , Lyrtzis Christos , Vasiliadis Angelo V. , Metaxiotis Dimitrios
Published: June 2021

Many repair techniques have been used for quadriceps tendon rupture. Transosseous sutures are the golden standard since they can offer the safest and most stable tendon reattachment. Drilling in parallel to the patella’s longitudinal axis while avoiding the articular surface can be particularly challenging. In addition, drilling the patella has been shown to increase the possibility of an intraoperative fracture, especially if large diameter drills are being used. The present technical note demonstrates a simple, safe, cost-effective, and reproducible technique for quadriceps tendon repair. This technique is based on the use of a cruciate ligament reconstruction tibial tip aimer and guide wires with eyelet. After the accurate patella, entry and exit points for transosseous suturing are defined, the eyelet guide wires enable the passing of the sutures through the patella. Finally, the free ends of each suture are pulled and secured distally. This technique allows efficient and proper tendon fixation while minimizing potential complications.
Figure-of-nine position: A convenience trick for standard technique of ACL reconstruction
Authors: Manocha Ravinder Kant , Gupta Ranjan Kumar
Published: June 2021

While position of leg during arthroscopy may not affect clinical outcome of a well-done ACL reconstruction, better view during reconstruction, more efficient fluid ingress in position of hyperflexion during femoral tunnel drilling, decreased crowding of instrumentation, and convenient disposition during surgery for surgeon and assistant with need for reduced logistics are some advantages of figure of nine position. Adoption of this alternative position in arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is easy because it does not require alteration to standard technique of ACL reconstruction. There are even greater merits for considering this position for three portal medial viewing medial drilling techniques.
How to improve dermatology teaching and learning at the postgraduate level: Recommendations by a faculty panel of Kerala state branch of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists, and Leprologists

Published: June 2021

The perception about dermatology as a specialty has considerably changed over time, and this change has to be reflected in post-graduate (PG) curriculum and teaching methods. To keep up with the changing times and advancements in medical education, a four-member committee was constituted by IADVL (Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists) Kerala to propose modifications in the existing PG teaching program. The enclave identified five core areas in PG teaching of dermatology and suggested changes in the existing model. Academics and teaching-learning (TL) methods, research and publishing, quality of life of PG students, assessment, and structural changes in PG departments were the areas where suggestions were made. A holistic approach to dermatology teaching incorporating newer TL methods was proposed. The importance of better capacity building and provision of opportunities for research was emphasized. The need to modify the prevailing methods of assessment was identified. It was also acknowledged that amendments need to be made at the faculty level too, and propositions were made in that aspect as well. It would require a coordinated effort among the universities, institutions, teachers, and professional organization to further fine-tune and implement these suggestions.
