On the organization of the diplomatic service in the post-Horde Chingisid states in the 16th century (Crimean and Kazan khanates): “tets” and “bakshis”
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moiseev Maksim V.
Published: September 2023

Research objectives: This study investigates the development of the embassy service in the post-Horde states, with a specific focus on identifying its structure and analyzing its personnel composition. Research materials: The research primarily relies on the analysis of Russian embassy books and chronicles. Results and novelty of the research: The examination of Russian documents reveals that Khan’s embassies followed a three-part structure: Ambassador (elchi)-deputy (tet)-secretary (bakshi). The Russian chancellery was notably reluctant to use the term “tet,” likely because individuals with this title were responsible for collecting specific duties from Russian lands in favor of the Khan. It is possible that the Russian documents referred to the “tet” as a toll collector; in any case, we know that ambassadors could be accompanied by “toll collectors.” After 1475, these duties were abolished. In total, 7 mentions of Crimean tets and 6 Kazan tets were identified. References to baksheys in embassies are better preserved, with a total of 18 Crimean, 8 Kazan, 2 Nogai, and 1 Siberian bakshi identified. One of the primary responsibilities of baksheys was to compile a certificate. Thus, the observation of the embassy mission’s composition relies on source-based evidence. Even when there is no specific information about shoring, the mere presence of a bakshey serves as a reliable indicator that the outcome of the negotiations was expected to involve shoring. The study reveals that we can discuss the process of forming the diplomatic service in the post-Horde Chingisid states.
A parresía jornalística e Djamila Ribeiro: levantando-se contra o racismo bolsonarista nas páginas do jornal Folha de S.Paulo
Authors: Ritter Eduardo
Published: September 2023

The philosopher Djamila Ribeiro, a columnist for Folha de S.Paulo, has suffered several instances of racism throughout her life. Faced with the sequence of racist statements made by former president Jair Bolsonaro throughout his career in Brazilian politics, the philosopher used her parresía to denounce a resolution published by the government to remove quilombolas from the municipality of Alcântara, ignoring the history and cultural identity of the descendants of Brazilian slaves. Historically contextualizing the case and presidential racism, the columnist makes use of what we call journalistic parresía, presenting the five characteristics necessary for this: frank speech, coherence between discourse and way of life, use of frank speech in the public space, taking risks to make use of this frank speech in an act of courage.

Authors: Corrêa Ricardo Henrique Bilycz , Lima Mateus Torres Avelar de , Tavares Eduardo Neumann , Scola Franco Andreas , Knabben Mariana Mendes
Published: September 2023

A case report focused on imaging aspects of an aorto-enteric fistula (AEF) in a 39-year-old patient with a recent diagnosis of classic Hodgkin Lymphoma with multiple enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes. AEF is a pathologic communication between the aortic lumen and any portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Without prompt intervention, the associated mortality approaches 100%. Early clinical suspicion is essential for a successful outcome and the role of imaging is fundamental to diagnose it. Owing to its widespread availability, short acquisition time, and high resolution, CT with intravenous contrast has become the first-line modality for imaging evaluation of suspected aorto-enteric fistula.

Hacka Skolan. Ett arbete om: kunskaper och elevers blivande i skolan
Authors: Jason Norda
Published: September 2023

Vad vill man ens lära sig?

Det här arbetet handlar om hur elever tillåtas undersöka sitt lärande i skolan. Hur man synliggör den kunskapen som elever har skaffat sig. Med ett processbaserat lärande, deleuziansk affektperspektiv och kunskapsteori ramas ett undersökande in där elevers vilja får styra och elever och lärare gemensamt lägger en grund för vilka kunskaper som ska belysas utan att lärarens förförståelse dikterar villkor. Genom ett undersökande i skolan tillsammans med nio gymnasieelever utvecklas också ett en egen fråga som rör vad ett forskande slutarbete kan vara, hur det kan gestaltas och läsas.

What do you even want to learn?

This work is about how students are allowed to examine their learning in school. How to make the knowledge that students have acquired visible. With a process-based learning, Deleuzian affect perspective and epistemological theory, a framework is made for a research in which students' will is allowed to govern and where students and teacher can together lay a foundation for which knowledges can be understood without the teacher's pre-understanding dictating conditions. Through the research, which is made together with nine high school students, a separate question is also developed, asking what a final-project-research can be, how it can be written and read.

Características endosonográficas de las lesiones subepiteliales del tracto digestivo superior: experiencia de un centro de referencia en Colombia
Authors: Bautista Parada Ileana Rocío , Rojas Espinosa Angel , Arango Molano Lazaro Antonio , Sánchez Gil Andrés , Díaz Tobar Claudia
Published: September 2023

Introducción: las lesiones subepiteliales (LSE), descritas como abultamientos o masas cubiertas por mucosa de aspecto sano, se encuentran usualmente de manera incidental durante estudios endoscópicos; suelen ser asintomáticas y se estima que se identifican en el 1% de las esofagogastroduodenoscopias realizadas.
Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo con recolección retrospectiva de la información. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes atendidos en Unión de Cirujanos, unidad de gastroenterología de referencia del Eje Cafetero ubicada en la ciudad de Manizales, entre enero de 2020 y enero de 2022, a quienes se les realizó ultrasonografía endoscópica como parte del estudio de lesiones de aspecto subepitelial localizadas en el esófago, estómago y duodeno.
Resultados: se realizaron 152 endosonografías y se encontraron 108 lesiones subepiteliales, 66,6% de los pacientes eran mujeres y el promedio de edad fue 58 años. La mayoría de las LSE se localizaron en el estómago (78,7%) y, de estas, la localización más frecuente fue el antro; el diámetro promedio de las LSE gástricas fue de 14,6 mm y el 47% de las lesiones eran dependientes de la cuarta ecocapa; los diagnósticos presuntivos más frecuentes fueron el tumor del estroma gastrointestinal (GIST; 65,8%) y lipoma (11,7%).
Conclusiones: las LSE del tracto gastrointestinal se originan en la muscular de la mucosa, submucosa o muscular propia, de manera más frecuente se localizan en el estómago y su caracterización suele requerir la realización de ultrasonografía endoscópica y estudio histopatológico. El tratamiento de estas lesiones sigue siendo controversial debido a su baja frecuencia, variedad histológica y bajo potencial maligno.

Published: September 2023

Objective: To examine whether participants with different levels of diabetes-related DNA methylation at ABCG1 might respond differently to dietary weight-loss interventions with long-term changes in adiposity and body fat distribution.

Research Design and Methods: The current study included overweight/obese participants from the POUNDS lost trial. Blood levels of regional DNA methylation at ABCG1 were profiled by high-resolution methylC-capture sequencing at baseline among 673 participants, of which 598 were followed up at 6 months and 543 at 2 years. Two-year changes in adiposity and computed tomography measured body fat distribution were calculated.

Results: Regional DNA methylation at ABCG1 showed significantly different associations with long-term changes in body weight and waist circumference at 6 months and 2 years in diet interventions varying in protein intake (P-interaction<0.05 for all). Among participants assigned to an average-protein (15%) diet, lower baseline regional DNA methylation at ABCG1 was associated with greater reductions in body weight and waist circumference at 6 months and 2 years, while opposite associations were found among those assigned to a high-protein (25%) diet. Similar interaction patterns were also observed for body fat distribution, including visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, deep subcutaneous adipose tissue, and total adipose tissue at 6 months and 2 years (P-interaction<0.05 for all).

Conclusions: Baseline DNA methylation at ABCG1 interacted with dietary protein intake on long-term decreases in adiposity and body fat distribution. Participants with lower methylation at ABCG1 benefit more in long-term reductions in body weight, waist circumference, and body fat distribution when consuming an average-protein diet.
SPECIALTY OF MATERIALS OF THE ONLINE MEDIA “UKRINFORM”
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kazimova Juliana
Published: September 2023

The material explores the specifics of coverage of materials in the internet media “UKRINFORM”. This question is relevant because journalists need to know how modern media prepare their materials, what topics they choose to cover. It should be noted that the internet media “UKRINFORM” has the following headings: war, politics, economy, Ukraine together, the world, society, culture, regions, Kyiv, Crimea, sports, diaspora, technologies. All materials are presented by journalists at a high professional level, they choose relevant topics for coverage. This question is relevant today, as some journalists like to repeat the titles of columns, take them from other publications. A good example of the great variety of headings is Internet media “UKRINFORM”. Each heading interestingly covers the information. The good example of journalists materials is an article named – “The deportation of Ukrainian children to russia took on the characteristics of genocide”, in which journalists said that the enemy dreams of turning Ukrainian children into janissaries: for this aggressor, both filtering and “sorting into healthy and sick” and deporting Ukrainian children to russia. Journalists note that for almost nine years of the russian-Ukrainian war, under the guise of “voluntary evacuation” and “concern for the younger generation”, the enemy is trying to take as many minor Ukrainian citizens as possible from the temporarily controlled territories to russia. These children are assimilated, taught in “love Mother russia” schools, adopted... According to the state portal “Children of War”, during the period of the full-scale war, 16,222 minors were deported, as of February 5. These are registered, verified cases that are not accurate due to active hostilities and the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine. Another good example of journalists of “UKRINFORM” work is an article named – “I was afraid that if I die in “Azovstal”, my son will have no memories of me”, in which journalists write: “She is 30 years old, her call sign “Hilde” is in honor of a valkyrie who had the gift of resurrection. Before the start of hostilities in Donbas, she worked as a legal adviser in the Department of Culture, Nationalities and Religion of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration. In 2014–2015, she was a volunteer, and then went to serve in a separate special purpose unit “Azov”. So journalists-publications cover the Internet data, for information select good pictures and present materials concisely and professionally. Especially high quality and at a high professional level, journalists provide information about the war in Ukraine.
UKRAINIAN PERIODICALS: WARTIME CHALLENGES
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Paslavskyy Ihor
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the functioning of printed mass media – local periodicals, regional press, and all-Ukrainian newspapers and magazines during the first period of full-scale Russian invasion. Three groups of periodicals are distinguished. Local publications that have stopped publishing and stopped media business for an indefinite period of time. Newspapers that temporarily closed their activities changed the location of the editorial office and resumed publication in an online format in a relatively short period of time. Accordingly, the media preserved and established the communication with the audience. Periodicals with a place of permanent deployment in the territory under the control of the Ukrainian state reoriented themselves in accordance with the conditions of wartime, promptly reacted to the increase in the cost of paper, the disruption of logistical connections, to challenges related to the acquisition of components and consumable printing materials, etc. The sudden and almost total cessation of income from advertising products have become a challenge for periodicals. The local press and publications at the regional and all-Ukrainian levels reoriented informational content on military topics, in the first issues they chose a depressing angle for its coverage. The content of the printed editions underwent drastic changes from the third or fourth issue of the newspaper and magazine, and the topics of the speeches expanded significantly. The content and information have become informative, analytical and other saturation of publications again dominated the periodicals about heroic resistance and the encouraging course of events in the main theater of military operations. In the first year of the war, most Ukrainian periodicals held their own in the information market, adapted to its challenges and continue providing society with balanced, verified, reliable information about the situation in the country and at the front. The stability of editorial teams during the war turned out to be higher than the expectations of the expert media environment.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PROFESSIONAL MASS MEDIA AND TELEGRAM CHANNELS INFORMATION CONTENT NEWS PRODUCTION (ON THE CASE OF DZERKALO TYZHNYA AND UKRAYINA SEJCHAS)
Authors:   Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University, Steblyna Nataliia
Published: September 2023

A comparative analysis of journalistic texts in the so-called new media (Telegram channel “Ukrayina Sejchas”) and professional media (online publication “Dzerkalo tyzhnya”) is conducted in the paper. The similarities and differences of the content are clarified (by topic, the most popular personalities who become the heroes of the news, compliance with the standards of accuracy and separation of facts from comments, or the neutrality of the news). The research method is computer analysis of texts using Python modules and Spacy natural language processing library. It was found that the most popular topic for both media was Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine; Zelenskyi, the General Staff, the Armed Forces, and Putin were mentioned more often. However, at the same time, the Telegram channel bets on hot news from the regions closest to the front line, while the professional mass media takes care of the international agenda. Also, the content of the US is more about personalities, while the DT prefers institutions, some of which are other mass media. Therefore, the online mass media also accumulates exclusive messages from other professional mass media. However, the telegram channel’s attempt to report news as quickly as possible also leads to a violation of standards, in particular accuracy: the telegram channel can report an explosion or missile attack almost immediately as it happened, without having enough facts. The same applies to photos and videos, published as some evidence. Another difference between the Telegram channel and the professional media is that they do not always adhere to the standard of separating facts from comments. Therefore the channel not only report news, but also comment, ironize, etc. The performed analysis allows us to talk about a certain distribution of functions of new and professional media. Telegram channels better adhere to the rule of convergence of interests, and also produce content that is easier to perceive. However, without professional mass media, which will publish the so-called hard news – socially significant messages coming from various institutions and international organizations, as well as check the hot news reported by telegram channels, one cannot talk about an effective media system.

Aim. To study the prognostic significance of abdominal aorta (AA) diameter in progression of peripheral atherosclerosis in patients aged 40-64 years and without abdominal aortic dilation.

Materials and Methods. The study included 157 outpatients aged 40-64 years who underwent Doppler ultrasonography of brachiocephalic arteries, lower extremity arteries, and abdominal aorta in order to assess cardiovascular risk. Upon the serum collection, we measured lipid fractions, creatinine, glycated hemoglobin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, pentraxin-3 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-10). The criteria for the progression of peripheral atherosclerosis were: 1) the appearance of a new atherosclerotic plaque; 2) stenosis increase by ≥ 10%; 3) carotid plaque area increase by ≥ 0.106 cm2.

Results. We found that 116 (73.9%) patients initially had low to moderate cardiovascular risk. Abdominal aortic diameter directly correlated with the level of glycated hemoglobin (r = 0.298; p = 0.003) and serum MMP-2 (r = 0.240; p = 0.041), whilst aortic size index directly correlated with serum MMP-9 (r = 0.319; p = 0.029). Repeated Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 120 (76.4%) patients, with the median period between two examinations was 14.4 (12.3; 20.8) months, and progression of peripheral atherosclerosis was identified in 26 (21.6%) patients. An increase in abdominal aortic diameter > 1.64 cm could predict atherosclerosis progression with sensitivity of 53.8% and specificity of 74.1%. According to Cox regression analysis, an increase in abdominal aortic diameter > 1.64 cm was associated with a 2.31-fold increased risk of atherosclerosis progression (95% CI = 1.06 - 5.00, p = 0.034).

Conclusion. Abdominal aortic diameter can be considered as a predictor of peripheral atherosclerosis progression.

Aim. To compare the clinicopathological features, the course of pregnancy and its outcomes with the results of histological examination of the uterine scar in women with a past medical history of a single caesarean section.

Materials and Methods. We analysed the associations between histological features of scarred myometrium and clinicopathological parameters of 48 pregnant women aged 19 to 40 years with a past medical history of a single caesarean section. All women were divided into two groups depending on the uterine scar condition. Tissue sampling for histological examination was performed during lower segment caesarean section from the scar area after fetal extraction.

Results. 26 women had non-defective uterine scar and 22 women had uterine scar dehiscence (an overstretched inferior uterine segment with little or no muscle fiber and disorganised connective tissue at histological examination). Clinicopathological parameters associated with a uterine scar dehiscence were are ≤ 2-year interval between deliveries (OR = 6.85, 95% CI = 1.27-36.90, p = 0.025) and obesity (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 0.97-12.70, p = 0.056). Typical pregnancy complication in patients with uterine scar dehiscence was placental insufficiency (OR = 4.75, 95% CI = 1.39-16.2, p = 0.013).

Conclusion. Identification of the risk factors for uterine scar dehiscence may assist in selecting a method of delivery for women with a past medical history of caesarean section.

The imperative transition to renewable energy drives the need for innovation. Biomass, particularly wood pellets, has demonstrated poor performance in co-firing scenarios. This study employed pyrolysis to convert wood pellets into biochar with improved fuel quality. The biochar production and characterization were investigated at pyrolysis temperatures of 400°C to 500°C. The findings revealed significant improvements: the observed fixed carbon content increased from 67.2% to 78.8%, and the calorific value increased 1.2 times higher within the pyrolysis temperature increased. On the other hand, as the pyrolysis temperature increased from 400°C to 500°C, biochar yields decreased from 49% to 37%. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed distinct weight loss during heating, illuminating component volatilization and residue accumulation. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy elucidated structural changes, demonstrating the evolution of cellulose and hemicellulose into aromatic structures. Ultimately, these insights into biochar characteristics informed the optimization of pyrolysis processes, contributing to the production of superior biochar for renewable energy applications.

Published: September 2023

Pain is a multifaceted experience that can vary based on an individual's threshold and perception and can be acute or chronic, depending on the nature and type of pain experienced. This study evaluated the efficacy of Visual Analogue Scale in assessing dental pain among 153 dental patients in Pakistan region. The study found that Visual Analogue Scale provides a useful and straightforward method for assessing pain intensity among dental patients undergoing various therapies. These findings may help dental healthcare providers improve pain management strategies and patient outcomes. However, a comprehensive approach to pain assessment and management beyond pain intensity ratings using Visual Analogue Scale is essential. Future studies should explore other dimensions of pain and identify optimal pain management strategies in dental settings.

Published: September 2023

In recent years, electric cars have become increasingly popular as an alternative to environmentally friendly vehicles in the automotive industry. These vehicles use electric power as an energy source that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels so as to contribute to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.  However, the presence of electric cars raises pro and con opinions from the public. Where, the conversation about electric cars has become one of the hot conversations on social media twitter. Twitter is a microblogging-based social media that facilitates its users to write short messages and share them easily and quickly. These opinions require sentiment analysis. The purpose of conducting sentiment analysis is to find out how people's perceptions and opinions on electric cars are leading in a positive direction or in a negative direction. Thus, sentiment analysis can help companies in designing marketing strategies, product development, and making better business decisions. Then the opinions will be classified based on positive and negative categories. This research uses the naive bayes classifier method to generate positive and negative sentiment towards electric cars on Twitter. The accuracy results of naive bayes obtained by using a confusion matrix in this research are 78.57% with a dataset split composition of 80%:20%.

Authors: Chobanu Y.V. , Ilaschuk T.O.
Published: September 2023

The aim of the work – to compare the levels of serum sirtuin-1 SIRT1 in patients withCOPD and CCS in their isolated and combined course.Materials and methods. 60 patients diagnosed with COPD, CCS and combined courseof COPD with CCS, as well as 10 practically healthy individuals as a control group,participated in the study. The degree of severity of COPD was assessed by the frequencyof exacerbations and indicators of external respiratory function (ERF): the ratio ofFEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second) to FVLC (forced vital capacity of thelungs), as well as the values of FEV1 and VLC. A questionnaire was used to assess theseverity of symptoms, which included the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council),dyspnea severity scale and the COPD Assessment Test. The serum level of SIRT1 wasinvestigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using Human SIRT1 ELISAKitreagents. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using Microsoft Excel andStatistica 10.0 software.The results. A study that included measuring the level of SIRT1 in blood serum showedthe following results: in patients with COPD, the average level of SIRT1 was 5.21±1.16ng/ml, in patients with C it was 6.58±1.40 ng/ml, in patients with a combined course ofCOPD and CCS – 2.32±0.73 ng/ml. The level of SIRT1 in these groups was significantlylower compared to the control group, in which it was 12.23±1.59 ng/ml (p=0.01).

Conclusions. In patients with COPD, CCS, or a combination of these diseases, thelevel of SIRT1 in the blood is lower compared to the control group. Close correlationsbetween the level of SIRT1 in the blood and impaired external respiration, age, symptoms(measured by the mMRC scale and the CAT assessment test), and the severity of thecourse of the disease in patients with COPD and CCS, were revealed.

In conditions of economic and political instability, as well as natural and climatic changes, special importance is attached to sustainability programs that contribute to the adaptation of humanity to adverse factors. Providers of all segments of the financial market, including insurance, for which ensuring stability is a key task, are implementing ESG principles into their practice. The results of efforts to achieve sustainable development in the environmental, social and business management spheres are reflected in separate registers of reporting, which has been called non–financial. The subject of the research in this article is the analysis of non–financial reporting of the leaders of the international insurance market in order to summarize the experience of creating and implementing ESG principles in insurance. The object of the study is two of the largest insurance groups in the world — AXA and Ping An, each of which has important features: the first owns a wide branch network around the world, the second is the leader in the introduction of modern technologies and digital tools. The results of the study are to identify the most advanced and possible insurance and investment programs for the protection of ecology and human capital on the basis of the introduction of ESG principles into insurance in the Russian insurance market.

Authors: Volkov A. Yu.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the current state of problems and prospects for the development of an algorithm for flexible project management in the field of wholesale sales. Theoretical foundations of project and flexible management are revealed, the possibilities and ways of their integration are clarified. It is revealed that flexible management can become an instrumental basis for the reproduction of project management by providing radically new conditions for organizing project activities. Among the changes in the integration of project and flexible management, it is worth considering: organizing the activities of project teams that will act on the principles of co–organization and influence on the final result; application of a new delegation of authority scheme; redistribution and fragmentation of tasks into small tasks; rejection of phased implementation towards parallelization of project management; return to the previous stages of project activities in case of need to make changes; the establishment of new complementary projects to ensure a better outcome; rejection of downtime of individual groups in favor of a permanent distribution of tasks. These changes are positive effects in the implementation of projects based on flexible methodology. Based on the results of the study, the nature of the advantages and disadvantages of implementing flexible project management in the field of wholesale sales is demonstrated, conclusions are drawn about the possibilities and limitations of the development of appropriate algorithms and the nature of their testing.

Published: September 2023

Each generation has its own characteristics, motivations, and values that shape social trends. Currently, the trends in the IT market are driven by representatives of the digital generation, also known as the digital generation. As the conducted research has shown, this definition encompasses a much broader range of people than the generational types X, Y (millennials), and Z, which form the basis of the generational theory widely used by modern marketers and HR specialists.

This article aims to explore the characteristics, motivation, values, and preferences of digital generation employees regarding work patterns and communication within a team. It also aims to create a portrait of digital generation representatives in order to demonstrate that an alternative approach is required for effective management of employees from the digital generation. This approach involves flexible working conditions, including working hours and locations, as well as the implementation of new motivational methods. Additionally, in the era of digitalization, significant attention needs to be given to creating a favorable work atmosphere. A comprehensive approach to fostering team spirit based on current trends and values of this generation plays a crucial role in this process. Understanding the nuances of the worldview of such employees will enable top managers to motivate them to work more successfully.

Spatio-temporal structure of natural and anthropogenic land use in a semi-arid watershed: Northwest Algeria
Authors: Melalih Ahmed
Published: September 2023

The objective of this study is to map through multisource data, the change in land use structure and quantify its evolution around the semi-arid watershed of Wadi Sarno of Sidi Bel Abbès between 2000 and 2021. To this end, satellite images of 2000 and 2021 have been exploited by remote sensing and GIS, as well as field surveys for verification and validation of the results obtained. The methodology is based on supervised classification by maximum likelihood from the processing of satellite images. The analysis of the dynamics of land use shows that the areas of natural formations (dense forest and bare land) have decreased from 17,560 ha to 15,516 ha, that is to say, a regression of 8.04%, while the anthropised formations (Agriculture, open forest and rangeland, built-up areas, water bodies) have experienced an increase in their surface area, they have gone from 7901 ha to 9945 ha, that is to say, 10.4% of the total surface area of the basin. In the light of these results, it is possible to define priority areas for restoring degraded zones and enhancing natural formations. by giving priority to perennial crops to fix the soil in place and benefit from additional income for the region's farmers. By planting hardy species such as olives, figs, almonds, carob trees and so on. These species have proven their effectiveness and adaptation to local soil and climate conditions.

Published: September 2023

The present study aims at evaluating the quality of shallow groundwater (SGW) and its suitability for irrigation purpose in the most urbanised part of Johannesburg city, South Africa. The SGW samples were collected in three consecutive years and analysed for 20 selected physicochemical parameters, and heavy metals. The results were compared with the South African water quality, and Food and Agricultural Organization irrigation water quality guidelines, and standard indices derived from laboratory outputs. The results of the study show that all physiochemical parameters and heavy metals were within the limits set by both guidelines for irrigation purposes, except for potassium (3.58 mg∙dm –3) and manganese levels (3.152 mg∙dm –3). The calculated irrigation parameter values of sodium adsorption ratio ( SAR), sodium percentage (Na%), residual sodium carbonate ( RSC), magnesium hazard ( MH), Kelly’s ratio ( KR) and permeability index ( PI) were within the permissible range of irrigation water quality standards. The findings of this study provide helpful information for decision-makers such as utilisation of the studied groundwater for irrigation uses.
The immunological advantage of owned cats over stray cats: a comparative study of perforin and granzymes gene expressions

Published: September 2023

Some cats live at home with their owners while others live unattended on the streets or in shelters. One might expect that the owned cats would be better prepared for diseases with vaccinations, and good care and feeding conditions whereas the stray cats would be prepared for diseases by constant exposure to microbial factors. However, no study has investigated which group has the stronger immune response against diseases. Cytotoxic T cells and NK cells are known to initiate an immune response that causes apoptosis of the affected cells when stimulated by various factors. This immune response occurs due to an influx of perforin and granzyme proteins into the affected cell. Accordingly, this study compared owned and stray cats in terms of perforin and granzymes gene expression. Blood samples were collected from 30 owned and 30 stray cats, whose health conditions were checked. The samples were analyzed by qPCR for perforin, and granzyme A and granzyme B gene expression. All genes were expressed at a higher level in owned cats, although only the granzyme A gene showed a significant difference (p<0.05). This indicates that this gene plays a more active and significant role in cats than perforin and granzyme B, and that owned cats have a stronger immune response to diseases than stray cats.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of benzoic acid and chelates in which copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) were bound to methionine hydroxy analogue on growth performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbiota and digesta pH value of post-weaning piglets at 28 days of age. The experiment was conducted on 96 piglets randomly assigned to one of four treatments (6 replicate pens of 4 piglets each): 1) control (C) – microminerals were provided as sulfates of Cu, Zn and Mn at 130 (80 at second phase), 100, 120 mg/kg in the first phase, respectively; 2) chelates (CTM), microelements were provided as chelates of Cu, Zn and Mn at 130 (80 in second phase), 60, 60 mg/kg in the first phase, respectively; 3) benzoic acid (BA), with the addition of 2500 mg/kg during both periods; 4) chelates + benzoic acid (CTM + BA), microelements were provided as chelates of Cu, Zn and Mn at 130 (80 in second phase), 60, 60 mg/kg in the first phase, respectively, and 2500 mg/kg of benzoic acid during both periods. Results showed that chelates and benzoic acid supplementation not only improved the final body weight (p<0.05), average daily gain (p<0.05) and feed conversion ratio (p<0.05), but also increased the morphology performance and decreased the number of E. coli in the jejunum and ileum in the treated groups (p<0.05). This study provides the evidence that dietary supplementation has beneficial effects on the intestinal morphology and microflora of weaned pigs, which can partly explain why growth performance of the piglets was improved.
