Published: July 2024

The aim of the study is to investigate the structural features of the preputial glands of males and clitoral glands of females in clinically healthy adult sexually mature pet rats. The object of the study is pet rats kept by private owners in the city of Krasnoyarsk and the Krasnoyarsk Region, which died from various disea¬ses not associated with pathologies of the studied glands. The material of the study was the clitoral and preputial glands collected from the corpses of dead animals during pathological examination. The material from 13 females weighing from 248 to 567 g and 11 males weighing from 229 to 720 g was studied. The age of the animals ranged from 12 to 36 months. The preputial and clitoral glands are paired organs of external secretion, located in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat, and are well developed in animals of both sexes. Their absolute weight significantly differs between rats of different sexes and is (0.22 ± 0.02) g in males and (0.14 ± 0.01) g in females (P ≤ 0.01). The relative mass of the glands in animals of both sexes is (0.4 ± 0.01) % of the body mass. It has been established that the preputial glands in males and the clitoral glands in females of pet rats have a comparable histological structure. According to the type of secretion, they are holocrine, according to the characteristics of the excretory ducts, they are branched, and according to the shape of the terminal sections, they are alveolar. They produce a pasty secretion, which has a color from yellowish to light brown, contains a large amount of lipids and has a pungent odor.

Pregabalin is a widely prescribed drug for various neurological disorders, yet its effects on embryonic cortical neuron development when given to pregnant women remain inadequately explored. In this study, we employed advanced three-dimensional (3D) culturing and in-house developed high-throughput robotic 3D bioprinting technologies to evaluate their potential in neuropharmacology applications, using pregabalin as a model compound. Using a robotic 3D bioprinter and tetrameric IIZK peptide hydrogel as bioink, we created constructs with pregabalin-treated and untreated primary mouse embryonic cortical neurons. This setup allowed us to study the drug’s effects on cell viability, expression of neuronal markers, and neuron development. Our comparative analysis between 2D and 3D peptide-based cell culture models revealed that at a therapeutic concentration of 10 μM, pregabalin does not affect neuronal viability or the morphogenesis of cortical neurons. However, it significantly alters adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release, suggesting potential disruptions in mitochondrial function. Moreover, gene expression analysis of key genes involved in the development of the forebrain and the differentiation and maturation of neurons revealed significant alterations, including the downregulation of Dlx2, Nhlh2, Otp, and Gad67. These findings, together with observed alterations in neuronal activity and oscillations, emphasize the complex impact of pregabalin on neuronal development and function. They highlight the necessity for comprehensive clinical evaluations of its use during pregnancy. Furthermore, our research demonstrates the feasibility and value of integrating 3D cultures with high-throughput 3D bioprinting in neuropharmacology, opening new avenues for investigating drug effects on neuronal development and function, and contributing to safer clinical practices.

Oviducts have specific biomechanical properties that support fertilization and preimplantation embryo development, both of which are essential for successful pregnancy. However, conventional plastic-based human embryo culture does not recapitulate the biomechanical environment of the oviduct. Therefore, oviduct mimic culture systems that accurately emulate biophysical conditions for reproductive cells are a significant unmet clinical need. In the present study, we designed a three-dimensional (3D)-bioprinted optimal soft hydrogel system that accurately mimics the oviduct environment and investigated signaling factors during embryo development. We developed an oviduct tube-mimic hydrogel culture dish using gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) 3D-bioprinted hydrogel. Quantitative assessment of hydrogel mechanical properties depended on the stiffness of the GelMA 3D-bioprinted hydrogel. Embryo quality was evaluated based on cleavage speed and blastocyst ratio on the GelMA hydrogel. Whole-transcriptome next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of embryos was used to identify biomechanical signaling factors. Our findings revealed that 10 kPa GelMA hydrogel culture conditions performed better with respect to development speed, blastocyst ratio, and hatching ratio than the control condition. Whole transcriptome NGS revealed up-regulation of mRNA processing genes and protein transport genes by the 7 and 10 kPa hydrogels. Furthermore, the inner cell mass and the number of Oct4+ cells were significantly higher in blastocysts cultured on 10 kPa hydrogel dishes than in those cultured on conventional hard plastic dishes. These findings demonstrate that optimized oviduct-mimic hydrogel-based 3D GelMA culture dishes could improve in vitro embryo development. Hence, 3D GelMA culture dishes may be useful as human embryo culture systems for assisted reproductive techniques.

Architectural drawing as a sign of the times. An architect’s workshop in the 19th and 20th centuries – retrospection
Authors: Wojtas-Harań Anna
Published: July 2024

The topic of the research is drawing used in architect’s work. The author’s aim was to draw attention to how important it is to be able to adopt the appropriate canon of architectural drawing to obtain a favourable message and to demonstrate that there should be freedom in the selection of graphics. The author concentrated on the presentation and analysis of architectural designs using various drawing conventions. The designs come from the 19th and 20th centuries – a period when the canons of the content and appearance of architectural studies were already in force. It was also a time when architectural drawing was a common practice, done traditionally by means of hand-drawn lines on paper. The review concerns projects implemented in Europe.

The analysis of architectural studies shows that architectural drawing, in the professional practice of an architect, is an integral part, including creative invention. The drawing convention adopted by the architect often results from the subject of the project, the context of the location, the style of the era, and the personality of the author. The above dependence leads to the conclusion that the right to choose the drawing technique should remain with the artist, while maintaining the principles of technical knowledge and developed standards of drawing readability.

In the public sector, in terms of quantity, there is still a very small number of women who get space and opportunities to occupy strategic positions because to reach the peak of their careers they are still faced with male domination. One of the positive impacts of special attention to women is the expansion of the sector of women's activities into the world of politics. This paper intends to describe the management, control and leadership of women in the People's Welfare Sector, Ilir Barat I District Office, Palembang City. In this study, it is shown that gender has an influence on the characteristics of a leader to implement a management control system. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, this study concludes that female leaders already have standards or goals and targets that must be achieved in carrying out management functions by holding meetings so that subordinates know what targets will be achieved and increase the leader's knowledge to equate perceptions of tasks with each member. so that there are not many perceptions that are built by routinely coordinating to get agreement on each task. So women's leadership styles are clearly visible and have an influence on the management control system applied in the business entity, both in terms of result control, action control, personnel and cultural control. In addition, this research found that leadership style and implementation of control systems management is affected indirectly from historical experience the leader.

A new diatom species from the genus Cymbella C. Agardh is described from samples collected during a survey of freshwater diatoms from Modaomen Channel, Guangdong Province, China. With the aid of light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we give a detailed morphological description of Cymbella stomachsis sp. nov., which is placed in the genus Cymbella according to the shared features of asymmetry about the apical axis, deflection of the external terminal raphe fissures towards the dorsal margin, and the presence of apical pore fields and stigmata. Although it shares some similar structural features with C. tumida, C. stuxbergii, C. stuxbergioides, C. pesudostuxbergii, C. mexicana and C. australica, C. stomachsis sp. nov. is easily distinguished by the valve outline, the shape and density of areola, and the appearance of a lack of an intermissio at the central nodule. Especially, the structure of the intermissio is absent in similar taxa. This work is important for its enrichment of our understanding of the genus Cymbella and improvement of the database of diatom biodiversity and distribution in China.

Published: July 2024

The Osogbo metropolitan has seen several transportation-related problems due to its dense population, limited road space, land-use characteristics, absence of mass transit, poorly executed development plans, and encroachments on private property. The specific objectives are to identify the socioeconomic characteristics of the participants in Osogbo, Osun state; investigate commuters' and drivers' perceptions of Korope transport services in Osogbo, Nigeria; and evaluate the function of Korope transport services in the study area concerning public transportation. Data was gathered using a structured survey design questionnaire. The purposive sampling method was employed. In Osogbo, Osun state, Nigeria, commuters, passengers, and Korope transport operators and owners make up the study's population. However, 1,500 of those commuters, passengers, and Korope transport operators reside in Osogbo, Osun state, Nigeria. The study's sample frame consists of passengers in Osogbo, Osun state, Nigeria, as well as Korope transport providers and owners. A sample of 177 respondents was chosen at random. Both inferential and descriptive statistics were used in the data analysis. The findings show that the F test yields asymptotic significance values of 0.000 (less than p value of 0.05) and 54.534 (more than the tabulated f-value of 2.32). Consequently, the null hypothesis is disproved and the alternative is approved. There is evidence to support the effects of connectivity, affordability, dependability, accessibility, and ease of use on intraurban mobility in Osogbo. Korope, or minibuses, are a crucial component of Osogbo, Osun State's public transportation network. Despite their increased security and overall quality, minibuses as a mode of transportation nevertheless have several obvious drawbacks. However, the report recommended that stricter safety regulations be implemented and upheld for minibuses. Frequent car inspections, driver education programs, strict adherence to speed limits and other traffic rules should all be part of these laws.

The post-mobile era presents us with countless challenges in every facet of our lives. For instance, in order to make a purchase, we must travel to the market, but thanks to mobile commerce, mobile phones enable us to conduct business from the comfort of our homes. Today's traffic system needs to improve in efficiency to handle the demand for travel that is only going to increase as well as the need to lessen its impact on the environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate how GSM has affected the city of Ibadan's travel demand. Stratified random sample and purposive sampling strategies were employed in the study to deliver 125 well-structured questionnaires to the chosen road users from the chosen vehicle park within the city of Ibadan. The results indicate that the majority of respondents, or 53.6% of the sample, make trips with a purpose. Trip purpose is significant in the study area and contributes to an increase in traffic flow. Due to the many businesses that each study participant operates, it was found that minibuses and taxis were the most readily available modes of transportation for mobility along the study's chosen routes. Additionally, the study's findings indicate that the usage of GSM can occasionally have a substantial impact on the influence of travel demand. The findings demonstrated that, at a significance level of 0.05, each of the three selected indices (cost of travel, purpose of journey, and traffic reduction) had a statistically significant difference between the group means, with R equal to 0.74. The study's findings revealed that, the purpose of a journey plays a significant role in the study area and increases traffic flow using the available transportation options. The cost of services, the cost of the journey, and other factors were taken into account to determine the demand for travel. Similarly, there is a favorable correlation between human conduct and cell phones. In order to ensure efficient and long-lasting communication, it was suggested that the government create a policy requiring all mobile phone service providers to meet certain standards.

Published: July 2024

Translation holds significant importance in conveying language and culture across various linguistic and cultural contexts, being an integral part of college curricula. It is also a mandatory subject in various university programs in Indonesia. However, the effectiveness of translation education appears suboptimal, possibly due to the monotonous learning environment, lacking active translation opportunities, and overly explanatory teaching approaches. Thus, there is a need for innovative teaching methods to nurture translation skills actively. One proposed model is self-guided exploration in translation learning, which encourages students to actively engage in translating practice at their level. This study employs descriptive qualitative research to show the process and outcomes of selfguided exploration in enhancing translation skills, particularly in understanding written discourse. The findings indicate a satisfactory mean score on translation tasks, suggesting the effectiveness of selfguided exploration in improving translation proficiency.

Tourism has an important meaning for a region because of the unique qualities and characteristics of that region. When tourism becomes one of the supports for economic success, people ask whether tourism in the area is worthy of being a tourist spot? one of which is religious tourism, which is a type of tourism that has a close interest in the religious side and places of worship. Religious tourism has its characteristics, both from the environment of the tourist area, the physical buildings, and the local culture of the local community. Banda Aceh is the capital of Aceh Province which has the nickname Veranda of Mecca, this city has a religious tourism area which is the research area, namely the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, which is now a religious tourist attraction that is the pride of the local community. The meaning of a place is very important in developing tourism, the presence of distinctive characteristics is the attraction of the place, and it has a lot of knowledge and experience for tourists. The meaning of a place for local tourists and foreign tourists will be different, due to the desire to visit and the experience of being there. Therefore, with research to find out the meaning of tourist attractions for visitors and religious tourism destinations, there will be a comparison of the level of visits by local and foreign tourists, so that the meaning of the place can be seen from the visiting experience, building characteristics for visitors and social interactions. This issue is a complex matter to discuss. As for what will be researched in this place, attachment research is the meaning of place. This research aims to determine the meaning of place attachment to the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh on the development of religious tourism. The type of research applied in this research is a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative nature obtained from literature studies, distributing questionnaires, field observations, and interviews; distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents, namely tourists and local communities; carrying out field observations at the research location; and conducted in-depth interviews with eight main informants, namely local community leaders, tourism practitioners, government officials, and academics. This will be analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods to produce comparative findings through the data obtained. This literature review can be applied by stakeholders as an evaluation tool in developing tourism, especially religious tourism in an area.

Authors: Tanifuji Ryo , Oguri Hiroki
Published: July 2024

A steadily increasing number of reports have been published on chemo-enzymatic synthesis methods that integrate biosynthetic enzymatic transformations with chemical conversions. This review focuses on the total synthesis of natural products and classifies the enzymatic reactions into three categories. The total synthesis of five natural products: cotylenol, trichodimerol, chalcomoracin, tylactone, and saframycin A, as well as their analogs, is outlined with an emphasis on comparing these chemo-enzymatic syntheses with the corresponding natural biosynthetic pathways.

ABSTRACT
This research tries to analyze nonverbal communication types employed by native speaker teachers when teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes and the effect of those nonverbal communications on students. This study employed descriptive methodology. Two native-speaking teachers in English and fifteen students comprise the study's participants. Observation and interviews were utilized to acquire data. This study found that teachers frequently employ six types of nonverbal communication. These included the application of kinesics, proxemics, ocelusics, chronemics, paravocalics, and physical appearance. The data analysis also revealed that the teachers’ nonverbal communication had both good and bad effects on the pupils. The teachers’ use of appropriate hand gestures, eye contact, and voice emotion when teaching the topic significantly helped to develop healthy teacher-student relations, particularly in motivating and appreciating students. However, eye contact can induce anxiety in students.

Juego y Aprendo con los Números: Sistematización de una Experiencia en Segundo Grado de Educación Primaria
Authors: Avila Nungaray José Luis Rey
Published: July 2024

La Secretaría de Educación Jalisco, comprometida con elevar en nivel educativo del estado, a partir de la puesta en marcha de la iniciativa Recrea y con el apoyo de la CEMEJ, ha promovido la sistematización de experiencias con el fin de enriquecer las prácticas educativas de los docentes y avanzar hacia la conformación de una Comunidad de Aprendizaje en y para la Vida. La sistematización de la experiencia realizada se deriva de una estrategia denominada Juego y aprendo con los números, la cual se aplicó en un grupo de segundo grado de educación primaria. La finalidad fue identificar los factores que se presentan en la estrategia que favorecen u obstaculizan la disminución de las BAP para reconstruirse como docente de manera individual y colectiva a partir de las reflexiones, los aprendizajes y las conclusiones obtenidas en el proceso. La sistematización de experiencias ayuda a contar con un catálogo de prácticas docentes que fungen como referente para los miembros del colectivo, lo que coadyuva a elevar el nivel educativo a nivel local, estatal y nacional. De igual forma, los resultados de realizar este ejercicio son favorables porque se comparten conocimientos, experiencias y recursos que ayudan a favorecer de mejor manera el proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje.

Gran parte de las tierras en La Laguna han sido vendidas para ser transformadas de tierras productoras de alimentos para el humano a corrales y tierras que producen forraje para el ganado lechero. En Las Mercedes existen personas que refuerzan constantemente la permanencia de cultivos tradicionales, la resistencia y la recuperación de territorios ejidales (tierras que el Estado dota a los campesinos para la agricultura) en La Laguna para su conservación bajo los principios del Zapatismo (movimiento formado en el año 1983 en Chiapas, México). El principio zapatista emblemático de los campesinos que han luchado por las tierras para la agricultura representados con la frase célebre de Emiliano Zapata “Tierra y Libertad” se ve puesto a prueba. Para la presente investigación se utilizó una metodología cualitativa ¨historias de vida¨. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron comprender la cosmovisión de las personas hacia sus tierras y el porqué de su lucha por la resistencia. Las problemáticas actuales requieren investigaciones dirigidas al abandono de las tierras y la ruptura generacional que enfrenta el campo.

La extracción dental es uno de los procedimientos que se realiza con mayor frecuencia en atención primaria en zonas rurales, ya que el desconocimiento total de hábitos de buena higiene bucal en dicha zona contribuye a que existan factores detonantes, como caries dental, pulpitis irreversible, enfermedad periodontal, etc. El manejo consiste en cortar las fibras de Sharpey con un sindesmotomo o un periotomo, posteriormente con ayuda de un elevador se busca luxar la pieza en sentido mesio-distal con una fuerza de palanca o cuña, finalmente logrando la avulsión de la pieza dental. Objetivo: Determinar las principales causas de extracción de piezas permanentes en población rural que acuden al primer nivel de atención, durante el periodo enero 2024 junio 2024. Estrategias metodológicas: Se realizará un estudio cuantitativo descriptivo trasversal, que incluye todos los diagnósticos con tratamiento de extracción dental que son realizadas en el Puesto de Salud Guantul Central Grande en pacientes desde los 18 años en adelante. Resultados: Se realizaron un total de 59 extracciones en 39 usuarios, 14 hombres y 25 mujeres Discusión: La salud bucal en zonas rurales aun es un déficit que se presenta a lo largo de los años ya que los usuarios se acercan por atención solo en casos de presencia de sintomatología más no por prevención la misma que incide considerablemente en la calidad de vida. Conclusión: La presencia de raíz dental retenida con síntomas o presencia dolor es la principal causa de extracción teniendo mayor susceptibilidad los terceros molares superiores derechos.

En Ecuador, la disgrafía representa un desafío significativo en el aprendizaje, afectando la habilidad de las personas para escribir debido a complejas dificultades en el procesamiento motor y de información. Esta condición puede resultar en problemas de ortografía y caligrafía deficientes. En el cantón Buena Fe, la disgrafía tiene un impacto notable, especialmente en relación con la pronunciación, que influye directamente en la calidad de la caligrafía. Durante la investigación, se identificó que esta dificultad afecta profundamente a los estudiantes de niveles educativos básicos, debido a una maduración lenta en la percepción, discriminación y memoria visual de las palabras. La disgrafía afecta el ritmo del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en estudiantes de educación básica, teniendo consecuencias duraderas desde la infancia hasta la adultez. Los problemas como escritura ilegible, confusiones en la pronunciación, tareas incompletas, y una velocidad de aprendizaje reducida, complican significativamente el proceso educativo. Aunque existen esfuerzos para equilibrar el aprendizaje de conceptos, procedimientos y actitudes que aborden estas dificultades educativas, aún queda mucho por hacer en términos de investigación y educación. La falta de soluciones efectivas perpetúa problemas como la escritura deficiente y la falta de comprensión sobre la importancia académica y personal de una escritura adecuada. Por lo tanto, mientras no se encuentren alternativas adecuadas, continuaremos enfrentando desafíos para desarrollar habilidades ortográficas sólidas que permitan a los estudiantes alcanzar un aprendizaje significativo y competir eficazmente en diversos contextos de la vida.
