Published: December 2021

Behavioural flexibility may play a relevant role during invasion of a new habitat. A typical example of behavioural flexibility favouring invasion success refers to changes in foraging behaviour. Here we provide data on changes in the foraging strategies of monk parakeets Myiopsitta monachus over a period of 17 years (2001–2017) in Barcelona city. During this time, consumption of food on the ground increased by more than 25 % and the consumption of anthropogenic food increased by 8 %. Detailed information about the food consumed is provided. Feeding on the ground and consumption of low plants allow parakeets to reach not only anthropogenic food but also crops, thereby increasing the risk of crop damage as the invasion evolves. Early detection of damage to crops is crucial in order to prevent further harm, and makes the precautionary principle highly relevant.

Published: December 2021

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) fruit crops are a significant source of antioxidants, fibre, and nutrients; all are vital for a healthy diet and play a key role in the economy of several advanced and developing countries. It is of great importance to generate true-to-type plant products using in vitro propagation system. Thus, somaclonal variations can multiply very rapidly which leads to loss of the main features of parent rootstocks. In this research, a mixture of three Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based molecular marker methods – (conserved DNA derived polymorphism) CDDP, (Inter-simple sequence repeat) ISSR, and DNA barcoding – have been used to verify micro propagated grapevine genetic stability. Both ISSR and CDDP primer combinations produced scorable PCR fragments. The total number of bands was 98 and 109, with an average of 9.8 and 10.9 bands/primer in ISSR and CDDP assays, respectively. On the other hand, about 20 polymorphic bands were collected by CDDP primers, of CDDP-3 and CDDP-11produced 1 and 5 bands, with a polymorphism percentage of 11% and 33%, respectively. About 5 different unique PCR bands were detected in the mother plant (control) and were not observed in micro propagated plantlets (MP) samples of grapevine plant or vice versa. The phylogenetic trees were constructed using ISSR and CDDP assays diverged the control from MP samples at 1.3% and 7%, respectively. The phylogenetic tree constructed using (chloroplast gene RNA polymerase1) rpoC1 gene, multiple sequence alignment revealed that rpoC1 gene sequencing detected small genetic differences between control and MP samples of the grapevine and clustered grapevine control and MP samples to a single cluster with other Vitis species. This experiment reveals the potentiality of using CDDP, ISSR, and DNA barcoding in detecting the somaclonal variation of grapevine varieties subjected to tissue culture as a tool for plant conservation and breeding programs.
Criticism of the War on Terror
Authors: Zulkarnain Hari , Zulkarnain
Published: December 2021

The war against terror in the mainstream of approaches and strategies is very stigmatizing towards certain cultures and results in unclear targets. The controversy over the U.S. attack on Iraq during the presidency of G W Bush Jr. was related to the issue of international legitimacy and the mainstream conceptions of terror and terrorism, with their derivative products in the approach and strategy of the war on terror. This research presents critical views from the international community on the conception of terror and terrorism and highlights the policy of the fight against terror. This research is qualitative research, with literature review and analysis method in the form of meta-analysis. The findings of this research are that many experts in the international community criticize the conceptions of terror and terrorism and propose other approaches that are considered fair and reasonable. That approach is cultural identification regarding acts of terror (the act of terror) whose emergence factors are stratified and the scope of ethnicity, nation-state, and the dominance of the giant business sector. This alternative approach can be a more just way of handling terror acts and solid moral, legal, and political basis.

Se analizan los discursos que se produjeron sobre el maestro, identificando el plano del “significante” y del “significado” (Saussure, 1945). En un primer momento se lleva a cabo un análisis en el plano del “significante”, realizando un inventario de los discursos sobre el maestro que se produjeron en el periodo investigado e identificando los diversos registros o formatos de estos discursos en textos: de política educativa, periodísticos, literarios y pictóricos. Posteriormente se lleva a cabo un análisis en el plano del “significado”, identificando los significados que están presentes en estos discursos, entre los cuales destaca la manifestación de una violencia sistemática. Los fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos de la investigación toman aportes de la historia y el análisis del discurso, poniendo en marcha un enfoque teórico y metodológico transdisciplinario.
Biogenesis of Lipoproteins in Gram-Negative Bacteria: 50 Years of Progress
Authors: Kuldell James C. , Luknauth Harshani , Ricigliano Anthony E. , Rigel Nathan W.
Published: December 2021

The outer membrane is the defining characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria and is crucial for the maintenance of cellular integrity. Lipoproteins are an essential component of this outer membrane and regulate broad cellular functions ranging from efflux, cellular physiology, antibiotic resistance, and pathogenicity. In the canonical model of lipoprotein biogenesis, lipoprotein precursors are first synthesized in the cytoplasm prior to extensive modifications by the consecutive action of three key enzymes: diacylglyceryl transferase (Lgt), lipoprotein signal peptidase A (LspA), and apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase (Lnt). This enzymatic process modifies lipoprotein precursors for subsequent trafficking by the Lol pathway. The function of these three enzymes were originally thought to be essential, however, in some Gram-negative bacteria, namely Acinetobacter baylyi, the third enzyme Lnt is dispensable. Here we review the function and significance of Lgt, LspA, and Lnt in outer membrane biogenesis and how non-canonical models of lipoprotein processing in Acinetobacter spp. can enhance our understanding of lipoprotein modifications and trafficking.

Authors: Vieira Amorim Evelyn , Malanchen Julia
Published: December 2021

Este artigo destaca a abrangência da educação a distância, diante das mudanças estruturais do Estado a partir da década de 1990, em que a educação passa a ser ajustada a lógica capitalista e a formação docente direcionada ao projeto neoliberal. Buscamos analisar as consequências na formação do professor, diante do projeto educacional afinado aos interesses do capital, as regulamentações que deram impulso à expansão da educação a distância (EaD) no ensino superior e o processo de internalização no país. Diante dos dados quantitativos fornecidos pelas sinopses estatísticas do INEP (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira) examinamos a EaD nos setores públicos e privados e sua expansão em todas as regiões do território nacional. As análises realizadas nesta pesquisa têm em sua fundamentação teórica e metodológica os princípios da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, pedagogia essa baseada no Materialismo Histórico- dialético, método que nos permite compreender a realidade social em que estamos inseridos. Discutimos a relação entre a sociedade e a educação, indicando um possível caminho para a superação do projeto educacional do capital.

Published: December 2021

Plant extracts are recognized as safe and low-cost materials for postharvest treatments to increase the shelf life of horticultural commodities. However, in Bangladesh plant extracts are rarely used and very little research outcomes have been reported in Bangladesh context. Hence the current study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of combined botanical extracts in maintaining postharvest physico-chemical properties and extending shelf life of some summer vegetable (Bitter gourd, Brinjal and Pointed gourd) of Bangladesh. Freshly harvested vegetables were left untreated (control- T1) or treated with combination of aloe vera and thankuni extracts (T2); onion, garlic and ginger extracts (T3); aloe vera, thankuni, onion, garlic and ginger extracts (T4). Then they were kept for two weeks in uncovered paper carton in ambient conditions to observe their postharvest performances in respect of microbial infection (%), total soluble solids (% Brix), pH (magnitude), ascorbic acid content (mg/100 g), weight loss (%), shelf life (days), firmness (score) and color (score). In comparison to the control (T1), the postharvest properties were well maintained in T2 treated bitter gourd, and T4 treated pointed gourd and brinjal as recorded accordingly for shelf life (7.33, 6.63 and 7.30 days), content of vitamin C (39.56, 48.83 and 1.4 mg/100g), microbial infection (14.64%, 0% and 3.53%), rate of pH reduction (22.59%, 10.59% and 15.45% ), loss of fresh weight (1.39, 1.82 and 1.65-fold lower than T1) and color and firmness scores (1.22 and 1.36; 1.19 and 1.23; 1.8 and 1.39-fold higher than T1). From the current study it could be concluded that, the combination of aloe vera and thankuni extract would be considered as a suitable treatment for maintaining postharvest properties in bitter gourd. For pointed gourd and brinjal, the combination of aloe vera, thankuni, onion, garlic and ginger extract would be a suitable extract in this regard.

Published: December 2021

The study was conducted to know the role of ICTs in increasing agricultural production perceived by the coastal farmers of southern Bangladesh. Data were collected from 120 randomly selected farmers during August 2017 with the objectives to determine the extent of the role of ICTs in increasing agricultural production. The role of ICTs was measured by Likert type rating scale with assigned score and Farmers Perception Index was used to explain the relative proportion of the statements related to perception regarding the role of ICTs. Majority of the respondents (62.50%) observed medium role of ICTs in increasing agricultural production followed by 21.67% and 15.83% observed high and low role of ICTs respectively. Correlation analysis indicated that among the selected seven socio-economic characteristics; respondent's level of education, annual family income, communication exposure, and participation in agricultural training showed positive and significant relationship with the role of ICTs. On the other hand, age, credit received and household assets showed no significant relationship with the role of ICTs in increasing agricultural production. It was found that the large portion (88.8%) of the farmers faced medium to high constraints and only 11.2% faced low constraints in using the ICTs for increasing agricultural production.

Abstract: The present study proposes, through the research instrument, to know how university professors of a private higher education institution, located in the city of Santa Maria/RS, feel how they perceive happiness and quality of life at work (QWL) or living well in the institutions where they work. The quest to reconcile well-being in the work environment has become an essential strategy for institutions in general, as employees spend most of their time within organizations, and these need to seek strategies that constantly monitor the indicators of quality and happiness in the organizational environment. The themes of happiness and well being are part of the routine in organizations, always seeking the well-being and helping the health of employees, and thus improving the organization's performance. The importance of the study is justified by the impact that the lack of happiness at work and the incidence of pressure and demand sources are higher. With the results obtained through the research, it is possible to identify actions that can improve these requirements, aiming to maintain a harmonious climate that contributes to achieving institutional results.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic and severe neglected tropical disease, with worldwide distribution, that still cause many deaths among dogs and humans. Brazil is the country responsible for about 97% of the cases of leishmaniasis in the Americas and the disease is still considered a serious public health concern. Among wild mammalians, studies demonstrate the involvement of Cerdocyon thous in the biological cycle of Leishmania. Nevertheless, several authors consider the clinical manifestation of the disease to be rare or mild in free-living animals. Herein, we demonstrate the occurrence of severe clinical sings and deaths caused by VL in free-living crab-eating foxes. Three specimens of foxes collected from periurban areas were diagnosed with VL. The animals presented cutaneous, ophthalmological, gastrointestinal, locomotor and hematological alterations, and died after clinical progression. We identified the presence of anti-Leishmania antibodies by immunochromatographic test in all specimens. We also observed intra and extracellular amastigotes in skin cytology and lymph node aspirate. Furthermore, Leishmania infantum DNA was identified in all samples by the polymer chain reaction technique. Additionally, we performed blood count and stool parasitological tests and observed hematological disorders common to VL, such as anemia and lymphopenia. Taken together, our data demonstrate that VL can induce clinical complications and even cause death in C. thous and corroborate that this crab-eating fox is an adequate host for L. infantum.

This study aimed to evaluate the fatty acid composition of zebrafish fed diets containing linseed oil compared to sunflower oil. First, diets supplemented with linseed and sunflower were formulated, fish were fed for 40 days, and their parts collected for analysis. Diet composition analysis, extraction and derivatization of fatty acids, gas chromatography analysis, RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR, and statistical analyses were performed. Linseed oil exhibited an omega-3 rich lipid profile. 18:3n-3 content incorporated into the muscle tissue of fish fed linseed oil was 50% higher than that fed sunflower oil. This higher amount of 18:3n-3 favored the production of 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 fatty acids by synthetic pathways in the organism since these fatty acids were not initially found in the oil composition. Furthermore, in all analyzed parts of zebrafish that were fed linseed oil, concentration of 20:4n-6 were lower, while 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 were higher compared to the same parts fed with sunflower oil. PCR expression assay showed no significant difference, indicating that linseed oil diet was not harmful. Thus, this work evidenced that synthesis of essential fatty acids, primarily omega-3 fatty acids, was greater in zebrafish upon consumption of diets supplemented with linseed oil.

O compartilhamento do cuidado entre as equipes da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) e Atenção Especializada (AE) favorece a qualificação progressiva dos profissionais atuantes em cuidados primários, aumentando sua capacidade resolutiva e seu escopo de atuação, além de proporcionar redução de encaminhamentos para a AE. O presente estudo objetivou descrever o desenvolvimento de um aplicativo para smartphone, denominado IntegRAS, concebido para proporcionar um canal de comunicação entre profissionais generalistas atuantes na APS e especialistas atuantes na área de Endocrinologia. Secundariamente, propõe-se a realizar um teste piloto de usabilidade do IntegRAS com médicos voluntários da APS e de um hospital universitário. Após o levantamento dos requisitos funcionais e definição da arquitetura do projeto, o aplicativo foi desenvolvido utilizando tecnologia multiplataforma (Android e iOS), e disponibilizado em versão de teste a cinco profissionais médicos, sendo 2 especialistas e 3 generalistas, durante um período de 90 dias. Aos participantes foram enviados questionários de usabilidade tendo como referência a System Usability Scale (SUS). O aplicativo desenvolvido atuou como uma ferramenta de suporte à tomada de decisão clínica de médicos generalistas na APS. O questionário SUS apresentou pontuações de 87.5 a 95, atribuindo ao IntegRAS uma avaliação ótima na escala de usabilidade e respaldando-o, com sua interface e características atuais, como um recurso tecnológico eficiente na integração entre as equipes de saúde. O IntegRAS se constituiu um instrumento para auxílio na assistência à prática médica, com potencial de ser útil na educação permanente em saúde para os profissionais generalistas da APS.

Published: December 2021

Background: Due to increases in the number of infants born with younger gestational age (GA) and lower birth weight, the incidence of neonatal sepsis is increasing. We investigated the changes in the prevalence of bacterial pathogens, their antimicrobial susceptibility, and sepsis-related mortality during 20 years at a neonatal intensive care unit.Purpose: We investigated the changes in the prevalence of bacterial pathogens, their antimicrobial susceptibility, and sepsis-related mortality during 20 years at a neonatal intensive care unit.Methods: The study period was divided into two 10-year phases (1998–2007 vs. 2008–2017). Medical records were reviewed to gather data on demographics, causative microbial pathogens, incidence of multidrug-resistant organisms, antimicrobial susceptibility, and rates of sepsis-related mortality.Results: In both study phases, the most common pathogens for neonatal sepsis were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) (28.6%) and Enterobacter cloacae (16.1%) for early-onset sepsis (EOS, ≤72 hours after birth) and CoNS (54.7%) and Staphylococcus aureus (12.9%) for late-onset sepsis (LOS, >72 hours after birth). CoNS and S. aureus showed 100% sensitivity to vancomycin in both phases. The susceptibility of S. aureus to oxacillin increased from 19.2% to 57.9% in phase II than phase I. K. pneumonia and E. cloacae showed increases in its susceptibility to gentamicin, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone in phase II than phase I. In both phases, the most common pathogens that caused sepsis-related death were K. pneumoniae (18.2%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13.6%). Sepsis-related mortality rate was higher in infants with GA <37 weeks than those with GA over 37 weeks (P=0.016). In addition, the mortality rate of neonatal sepsis caused by gram-negative bacteria was significantly higher than that caused by gram-positive bacteria (P<0.001).Conclusions: CoNS was the most common pathogen for EOS and LOS. While we found significant changes in antimicrobial sensitivities over time. GA below 37 weeks and gram-negative organisms are associated with mortality rate.

Background: Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common musculoskeletal disorder occurring at birth or in infancy.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk of comorbidities in CMT and explore the differences in neurodevelopmental outcomes between children who received physical therapy and those who did not.Methods: Children with CMT born in 2008 and 2009 in Korea were included. CMT was defined as a primary diagnosis of congenital deformity of sternocleidomastoid muscle according to the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision. Here we investigated the associated neurological/musculoskeletal comorbidities of children with CMT versus those of the general population. We divided those with torticollis into treatment and nontreatment groups and assessed their developmental outcomes within both groups of children using the Korean-Ages and Stages Questionnaire (K-ASQ).Results: Of the 917,707 children, 0.2% (n=1,719) were diagnosed with CMT. In children with torticollis, the prevalence of congenital hip deformities significantly increased to 4.5% (n=78). The prevalence of congenital head/spine deformities and other congenital malformations of the skull and facial bones increased to 2.6% (n=44), while the prevalence of congenital foot deformities was 2.4% (n=42). The risk ratio (RR) for delayed development based on the K-ASQ was higher for the total assessment (adjusted RR=0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.93–0.99) in the CMT patients without physical therapy than in those with therapy. There was no significant intergroup difference in the assessment of each developmental area.Conclusion: The prevalence of comorbid musculoskeletal deformities was higher in children with CMT than in the control group. The risk of developmental delay was higher in children who did not receive physical therapy than in those who did.

Abstract

Climate Action or handling related to climate change is one of the important points of the 17 goals contained in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate change has recently become a serious problem in the international world, so it really needs deep attention from every country or region. As is the case in the Pacific Islands region, climate change is a threat that can disrupt sustainable development in this region, especially since there is an issue of rising sea levels which can drown the islands in it. With this climate change problem, one way that can be done is to take action or take action. Based on this background, an intergovernmental body called The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment (SPREP) was formed to deal with problems regarding climate change in the Pacific Islands. The aim of SPREP itself is to promote cooperation in the Pacific region, provide assistance to protect and enhance the environment, and to ensure sustainable development for present and future generations. The framework used in this article is based on the theory of liberalism.

Climate Action atau penanganan terkait perubahan iklim merupakan salah satu poin penting dari 17 tujuan yang terdapat dalam Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Perubahan iklim akhir-akhir ini merupakan masalah yang cukup serius dalam dunia internasional, sehingga sangat dibutuhkan perhatian yang mendalam dari setiap negara ataupun kawasan. Seperti halnya yang terjadi di wilayah Kepulauan Pasifik, perubahan iklim merupakan suatu ancaman yang dapat mengganggu pembangunan berkelanjutan di wilayah ini, terlebih lagi adanya isu kenaikan air laut yang dapat menenggelamkan pulau-pulau didalamnya. Dengan adanya permasalahan perubahan iklim ini, salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan yaitu melakukan pergerakan atau tindakan. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, dibentuklah badan antar pemerintah yang dinamakan The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment (SPREP) untuk menangani permasalahan mengenai perubahan iklim di Kepulauan Pasifik. Tujuan dari SPREP itu sendiri adalah untuk mempromosikan kerjasama di kawasan Pasifik, memberikan bantuan untuk melindungi dan meningkatkan lingkungan, serta untuk memastikan pembangunan berkelanjutan bagi generasi sekarang dan masa depan. Kerangka pemikiran yang digunakan dalam artikel ini didasarkan pada teori liberalisme.

Indonesia-Oman Relationship: Gradually Growing with Many Opportunities
Authors: Muhamma Zulfikar Rakhmat
Published: December 2021

This paper aims to explore the relationship between the Republic of Indonesia and the Sultanate of Oman. Oman is one of the Middle Eastern countries which have strengthened its relationship with Indonesia. In recent years, Jakarta-Muscat ties have gradually developed in various spheres, although the cooperation remains limited compared to Indonesia’s ties with other regional states. Despite these developments, Indonesia’s ties with Middle Eastern countries has received little attention in the literature. This paper thus aims to examine the nature and scope of the relationship between Indonesia and Oman in a number of spheres based on Eberling (2017)’s five-dimensional framework, which includes political-diplomatic relations, economic-trade relations, military- security relations, cultural relations, as well as petroleum-energy relations. At the same time, the paper also intends to identify the opportunities available for the two countries to expand their ties.

Financial Administration of the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) Among Barangays in Bayugan City, Agusan de Sur, Philippines
Authors: Viray Marecon
Published: December 2021

In the Republic Act 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991 has considerably altered the nature and participation of the local government units in the pursuit of national development. Considered that the barangays is the smallest political system in the Philippines were given the responsibility and authority to implement barangay development of their Internal Revenue Allotment. Hence, despite the allocation for the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) to barangays for the development, problems affecting the administration of such fund are so obvious.

 

The system of administering the barangay development programs has evolved along with the changing structure of our government. The study aimed to describe the financial administration of the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) of barangays in Bayugan City. The cross-sectional survey research design was used frequency counts and distributions were utilized to present and analyze the data gathered. The sample barangays were taken through purposive sampling using income as the main criterion. Primary and secondary data thru the questionnaire and documents. The allocations of the 43 barangays of Bayugan City tend to increase. The barangays had also sourced their funding needs from sources other than IRA or alternative sources.

 

Recommendations, there must be an in-depth review on the procedure of allocating the IRA among barangays in Bayugan City. Likewise, an in-depth review on the required itemized budget be carried out of expenditures for barangays must be carried out such that barangays prone to calamities may have options in regard to their annual allocation; The barangay officials should strengthen further the participation of all barangay constituents in determining the priority projects and similar studies should be conducted in order to know further the extent of the strengthens and weakness.

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is a pro-fibrotic cytokine with a key role in wound repair and regeneration, including induction of fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition. Genistein is a naturally occurring selective estrogen receptor modulator with promising anti-fibrotic properties. In the present study we aimed to investigate whether genistein modulates TGF-β1 (canonical and non-canonical) signaling in normal dermal fibroblasts at the protein level (Western blot and immunofluo-rescence). We demonstrated that TGF-β1 induces the myofibroblast-like phenotype in the studied fibroblast signaling via canonical (SMAD) and non-canonical (AKT, ERK1/2, ROCK) pathways. Genistein induced only ERK1/2 expression, whereas the combination of TGF-β1 and genistein attenuated the ERK1/2 and ROCK signaling. Of note, the other studied pathways remained almost unaffected. From this point of view, genistein does not impair conversion of normal fibroblasts to myofibroblast-like cells.
