Knowledge, attitude and practice study about HPV and its vaccination among medical college students in North India
Authors: Kumar Amit , Garg Paridhi
Published: November 2020

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most important cancers in women. Cervical cancer is primarily caused by sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. It has been proven that HPV vaccination, preferably before initiation of sexual life, is highly effective in HPV and cervical cancer prevention. So, this study was conducted to study the knowledge, attitude and practice about the significance of HPV and its vaccination among medical students.  Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted in a medical college. 200 medical students were requested to fill a questionnaire which covered demographic details, knowledge, attitude and practice towards HPV vaccination for cervical cancer prevention.  Results: Majority of the students knew that HPV may cause cancer in humans (94%), leading to cervical cancer in females (84.5%) and about the availability of its vaccine in India (79%). But only a few students were aware that it may even lead to cancer in males (52.5%), knew the correct dosing schedule (60%) and that even vaccinated female may develop cancer (36.5%). 74.5% considered its vaccine to be safe, 71.5% considered it effective and 68% considered it protective against sexual partner. Only 33.5% were vaccinated but 92.5% said that they would recommend HPV vaccine to their family.  Conclusions: Though the knowledge and attitude about the significance of HPV and its vaccination is good among the medical college students, but the practice of vaccination is poor.

Authors: Bai Yendluri Durga , Ramesh Aditi , Kannam Deepti , Reddy Jagadish
Published: November 2020

Background: Biofilm formation on the implant surface mainly results in peri-implant diseases which are characterized by the inflammatory destruction of the implant supporting tissues. The host response to infection differs between peri-implantitis and periodontitis, but the mechanisms underlying these differences are not clear till date. In the present study, the distribution of dendritic cell sub populations in healthy peri-implant mucosa (HPIM) was compared with healthy mucosa (HM).Methods: A total of 15 nonsmoker subjects were selected for the study. First sample of healthy mucosa was obtained prior to the implant placement (group I) and second sample of peri-implant mucosa was obtained at the time of placement of gingival former (group II). Immunochemistry was used to quantify dendritic cells in the samples. Statistical analysis used Wilcoxon matched paired test was used to compare the distribution of cells in epithelium and lamina propria.Results: Mean number of factors XIIIa DC in epithelium and lamina propria in group I were 30.37±5.42 and 86.93±13.99 and group II were 50.47±7.27 and 124.33±10.27 respectively. Statistically significant difference in the number of cells in epithelium and lamina propria of group I and group II were noted (p=0.001).Conclusions: In the lamina propria of HPIM, a higher number of factors XIIIa+ DC were observed compared to HM.

Authors: Appaji C. Sri Krishna , Ravinder P.
Published: November 2020

Background: Heart failure is heterogeneous and complex clinical syndrome. Passive congestion of liver is associated with increase in direct and indirect serum bilirubin and elevated liver enzyme. Impaired perfusion due to decreased cardiac output is responsible for acute hepatocellular necrosis and serum aminotransferases will be elevated. Present study has been designed to study the prevalence of liver function abnormalities in heart failure patients, pattern of elevation of liver enzymes and correlation of liver function tests with etiology, duration and of heart failure.Methods: All patients enrolled for this study was evaluated clinically and echocardiographically. Various demographic parameters like age sex duration of disease were recorded on predesigned Performa.Results: Serum bilirubin was 3.76±1.62 mg/dl in class IV and least in class I that is 1.125±0.30 mg/dl. Serum AST was highest in class IV 154.64±24.96 IU and least in class I that is 36.21±12.65 IU (p=0.001). Serum ALT was highest in class IV 192.24±34.44 IU and least in class I that is 33.34±11.460 (p=0.001).Conclusions: From present study we can conclude that heart failure was common in fifth and sixth decade of life and there was male predominance. Congested hepatomegaly was common presentation jaundice and ascites was also common. Change in biochemical parameters was increased with severity and duration of heart disease.

Authors: Fite Meseret B. , Denio Addisalem D. , Muyhe Ahmed , Merdassa Elias , Desalegn Markos , Gurmesa Temesgen T.
Published: November 2020

Background: Anaemia is one of the world’s leading cause of disability and the most serious global health issues. Globally about 38% (32 million) pregnant women are anaemic, from which 46.3% (9.2 million) are in Africa.

Methods: Works of articles from PubMed, Medline and Google Scholar journal data-base were considered. Entirely articles allied to compliance and determinants of AFA supplementation were captured. The authors used modified Newcastle-Ottawa quality appraisal rule for cross-sectional works to assess the excellence of the studies for consideration and, tracked preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guideline. The pooled effect size was calculated with the review manager and compressive meta-analysis software.

Results: Eighteen studies with a total of 6649 pregnant women were included for analysis. Compliance of IFA supplementation in pregnancy in Ethiopia was 46.1%. Women who had experienced counselling on IFAS were 1.16 times, OR:1.16, (95% CI, 0.54, 2.50), knowledge on IFAS were 3.20 times, OR:3.20, (95% CI, 1.31, 7.85), knowledge of anaemia were five times OR:5.10, (95% CI, 1.87, 13.94), fourth visit for ANC were 1.58 times OR:1.58, (95% CI, 0.59, 3.42) and early registration for ANC were three times OR: 3.19, (95% CI, 0.77, 13.26) more likely to have compliance with IFAS compared to their counterpart.

Conclusions: There is low compliance of IFAS in different parts of Ethiopia. Lack of counselling on IFAS, knowledge of IFAS and anaemia, no fourth visit for ANC and timing in ANC registration were factors that hinder compliance of IFAS.

Published: November 2020

There is an increasing demand for primary human hepatocytes for toxico-pharmacological studies and for exploring their role in liver cell transplantation. During the whole process of isolation, culture and cryopreservation hepatocytes are subjected to various stress. All these factors will lead to the impairment in the metabolic capability of the hepatocytes post isolation. Hepatocyte isolation is an expensive and resource driven procedure. Thus, it is important to consider all the factors before we subject the specimen for isolation of cells. By considering the factors that influence hepatocyte isolation, hepatocytes of good quality can be obtained. With recommendations on the ideal parameters for isolation being made the researcher shall have a knowledge on what critical factors need to be taken care of during hepatocyte isolation. There will be an opportunity to modify critical factors if possible, during the procurement of specimen by working in tandem with the clinicians. The specimen which shall be deemed un fit when two or more factors have exceeded the critical limits can be rejected.

Unaccounted Environmental Risk of Fuel Filling Stations in the City
Authors: Sarapulova G.I.
Published: November 2020

The statistically significant geochemical dependences of the dynamic behavior of petroleum products in urban soils in the fuel filling station zone are considered, the areal of their distribution are determined. The techniques used make it possible not only to identify laterally manmade modules of environmental hazard (laterally module) when oil products come from fuel filling stations, but also to determine additional factors of unaccounted environmental risk, for example, the process of accumulation of heavy metals in the soil profile in excess of the standards on the resulting geochemical barrier in the form of oil products. The risk assessment of oil product supply facilities should be carried out taking into account the specifics of the distribution of toxicants in technogenically altered soils.
Therapeutic potential of ivermectin as add on treatment in COVID 19: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Padhy Biswa Mohan , Mohanty Rashmi Ranjan , Das Smita , Meher Bikash Ranjan
Published: November 2020

The current management of COVID-19 is mostly limited to general supportive care and symptomatic treatment. Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic drug used widely for the treatment of onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis. Apart from its anti-parasitic effect it also exhibits antiviral activity against a number of viruses both in vitro and in vivo. Hence, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the currently available data on the therapeutic potential of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID‐19 as add on therapy. A total of 629 patients were included in the 4 studies and all were COVID-19 RT-PCR positive. Among them, 397 patients received ivermectin along with usual therapy. The random effect model showed the overall pooled OR to be 0.53 (95%CI: 0.29 to0.96) for the primary outcome (all-cause mortality) which was statistically significant (P=0.04). Similarly, the random effect model revealed that adding ivermectin led to significant clinical improvement compared to usual therapy (OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.11 to 3.53, P=0.02).  However, this should be inferred cautiously as the quality of evidence is very low. Currently, many clinical trials are on-going, and definitive evidence for repurposing this drug for COVID-19 patients will emerge only in the future.

Authors: Azizlou Ellahe , AminSobhani Mohsen , Ghabraei Sholeh , Khoshkhounejad Mehrfam , Ghorbanzadeh Abdollah , Saber Tahan Shima
Published: November 2020

Extraoral sinus tracts of odontogenic origin often develop as the result of misdiagnosis of persistent dental infections due to trauma, caries, or periodontal disease. Due to these lesions' imitation from cutaneous lesions, misdiagnosis, and mismanagement, which we frequently encounter, this article aims to describe four cases with manifestations in different parts of the face and the neck. Patients were referred to an endodontist with a history of several surgical procedures and/or antibiotic therapy due to misdiagnosis. After comprehensive examinations, root canal treatment was performed. The resolution of signs and symptoms during the follow-up period confirmed the correct diagnosis. Dermatologists and other physicians should be aware of the possibility of the relationship of extraoral sinus tracts with dental infections. Precise examination and taking a comprehensive history can aid to prevent unnecessary and incorrect therapeutic and/or pharmaceutical interventions. Elimination of dental infection leads to complete recovery in such patients.

New Results Regarding the Construction Method for D‑optimal Chemical Balance Weighing Designs
Authors: Ceranka Bronisław , Graczyk Małgorzata
Published: November 2020

We study an experiment in which we determine unknown measurements of p objects in n weighing operations according to the model of the chemical balance weighing design. We determine a design which is D‑optimal. For the construction of the D‑optimal design, we use the incidence matrices of balance incomplete block designs, balanced bipartite weighing designs and ternary balanced block designs. We give some optimality conditions determining the relationships between the parameters of a D‑optimal design and we present a series of parameters of such designs. Based on these parameters, we will be able to set down D‑optimal designs in classes in which it was impossible so far.
Dalí, Disney and Destino: Alchemy in Animation
Authors: Allen David
Published: November 2020

Salvador Dalí claimed that he made his whole life “a work of alchemy.” He saw in alchemy the principle of metamorphosis and “the transmutation of bodies.” Carl Jung recognized “imaginatio” as the key to alchemy. As Patrick Harpur suggests: “The Work takes place in a realm intermediate between mind and matter. It is a daimonic process, a ‘chemical theatre’ in which processes and psychic transformations interpenetrate.” The alchemist does not simply work on matter, but on the self. In Dalí’s “paranoiac-critical method,” objects similarly seem to exist in an “intermediate realm between mind and matter”; they are animated presences, with a life of their own. The Dalínean double-image is itself a kind of alchemical magic, invoking the “transmutation of bodies.” In 1946, Dalí began work for the Walt Disney Company on a short film, Destino. This would be, he claimed, the “First Surrealist Cartoon.” The appeal of animation for him may have been based in part in what Eisenstein termed “plasmaticness”: the “ability to dynamically assume any form.” Animation, then, may be seen as a kind of “chemical theatre.” As a “realm between mind and matter,” it also functioned for Dalí as a form of mundus imaginalis, in which he could engage with the “obsessing” images in his psyche. In Destino, Dalí invoked the alchemical process as a journey to tranfiguration and psychological “rebirth.” The film was not completed in his lifetime; this account is based on the original storyboards which he produced.
Journeys of Becoming: Hair, the Blogosphere and Theopoetics in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah
Authors: Darroch Fiona
Published: November 2020

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Americanah provides provocative reflections on intertextuality and becoming by exploring the potentially transformative power of “blog-writing.” Through a combined reading of Mayra Rivera’s Poetics of the Flesh and Adichie’s Americanah, this article details intersections between the virtual and the material; writing in the (imagined “other-wordly”) blogosphere about the organic matter of hair. The narrator of the novel, Ifemelu, establishes a blog after she shares her story to decide to stop using relaxants and to allow her hair to be natural, via an online chat-room; she refuses to go through ritual performances in order to succeed as a migrant in America. In this article I argue that Adichie’s detailing of Ifemelu’s relationship with her hair explores the way in which creative practice, or poetics, is intimately connected to the journey of our flesh; social history is marked on our bodies. The blog becomes a confessional which details the demeaning effect that social constructions of race have had on her body. But the blog ultimately becomes self-destructive. It is only when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria that she embodies the transformative and cathartic power of contemporary modes of story-telling, and where she is finally able to “spin herself into being.”
Wartime Propaganda and Gender in Ahmad Mahmoud’s The Scorched Earth: A Dissident Reading
Authors: Farhadi Ramin
Published: November 2020

The Iran-Iraq War (1980–88) has been the subject of many aesthetic productions in contemporary Persian literature. The Iranian mass media during the war with Iraq described the armed conflict as holy and masculine, and propagated the replacement of the word “war” with “sacred defense” to urge authors to write within this established framework and reflect the ideals of the State. Opposed to such an ideological view of the war, the prominent Iranian novelist Ahmad Mahmoud began to express dissent in his works of fiction such as The Scorched Earth (1982). This study, therefore, analyzes Mahmoud’s scope of dissidence toward wartime propaganda and gender in the above mentioned novel to articulate how Mahmoud raises important questions regarding the State’s view of war and the established gender norms in Iran at war. It uses cultural materialist dissident reading and textual analysis to study Mahmoud’s contempt for wartime propaganda through the text’s portrayal of desperate people in Khorramshahr in the southwest of Iran caught between Iraqi airstrikes and artillery fires, and domestic problems including inflation, looting and mismanagement.

Published: November 2020

Background: The Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) is one of the biggest antelopes in Asia and is widely distributed in both the forests and adjoining villages with enough green grass.Methods: The present study was carried out on the orbital cavity and foramina of skull of six specimens of adult Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) of either sex. The biometrical parameters were measured by scale, graduated tape and digital Vernier’s caliper.Result: The average left cranio-caudal orbital diameter was found to be 5.7±0.11 cm in female, which was significantly less (p less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 5.3±0.08 cm. Similarly, the average left orbital depth was found to be 5.7±0.08 cm in female, which was significantly less (p less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 5.3±0.06 cm. The average length of left orbital process of frontal bone was found to be 5.1±0.05 cm in female, which was significantly less (p less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 5.3±0.07 cm. The average diameter of left supraorbital foramen was found to be 0.31±0.001 cm in female, which was significantly less (p less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 0.7±0.003 cm. Similarly, the average maximum distance between two cranial palatine foramina was found to be 1.8±0.05 cm in female, which was significantly less (p less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 3.3±0.12 cm. Conclusion: Most of the biometrical observations on different parameters of orbital cavity and different foramina of skull of Blue bull were having significantly (p less than 0.05) more values in males than females. The present gross and biometrical studies would be useful to the wild life professionals for determination of sex of this animal and solving vetero-legal cases related with this species.

Background: Probiotics and zinc are commonly used and beneficial in pig production. This work aimed to assess the effect of probiotic and zinc on brush-border enzyme activity and histoenzymatic study of the small intestine in pre and post-weaned piglets. Methods: Eighteen LWY piglets were divided equally into control and treatment groups. The piglets were maintained in standard management conditions and were weaned at 28 days of age. The treatment group of piglets fed a mixture of probiotics orally @ 1.25 x 109 CFU/day and zinc @ 2000 ppm/day from birth to 10 days of age. At three different age-groups viz. day 20 (pre-weaning), day 30 (weaning) and day 60 (post-weaning), the animals were sacrificed. For disaccharidase enzyme estimation, the mucosal brush border of the small intestine was scrapped off and the experiment was conducted. For histoenzymatic assay, the small intestine samples were preserved in liquid nitrogen at -196ºC immediately after sacrifice. They were sectioned at 10µm thickness maintained at -20ºC and stained for different histochemical staining. The statistical analysis of the data using the appropriate statistical tests was also conducted. Result: The activity of different brush-border enzymes such as maltase, sucrase and lactase was more in the treatment group of piglets. The activity of different histochemical enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, adenosine tri-phosphatase and non-specific esterase was increased in the treated group of piglets.

Authors: Kumar Ashok , . Doli , . Asma
Published: November 2020

Background: According to the United Nations “the world population prospects 2019” report, the population of the world is expected to increase currently from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050. This rapid growth in the population will adversely put incredible stress on our climate, food and health. As we are already running out of natural resources, it is high time to rethink our policies. Sustainable development is the need of an hour. Some policy decisions are required to overcome such expected challenges. To maintain the balance between the demand and supply there should be a prearranged, preplanned mechanism to be adopted for the sustainable growth and development of the production-cum-consumption system at a global level. In this paper, we will try to experimentally demonstrate how the growth of some legume crops is helpful to us we will also scientifically prove the utility of environmental pollutant fly-ash as an alternative fertilizer.
Methods: An experiment was conducted during the month of October to February (2018-2019) at the C.C.S. University Campus, Meerut. Different amounts of fly ash of 20, 40, 60 gm/m2 and two diverse chickpea genotype JG-11 and JG-14 were taken as experimental material.
Result: Fly ash in a sufficient amount increases the availability of macro- and micro-nutrient of the soil which is beneficial to plant growth and development. Fly ash significantly improved the physio-chemical properties of soil such as pH, CEC, BD, PD and also improves chickpea growth and yield. Fly ash found safe for agriculture applications in 20-40 gm/m2 range in the context of fertilizer.

Background: Blackgram is one of the important pulse crops belongs to the Papilionaceae family. Seed germination and seedling growth are a very important step in the survival of a plant. Water stress is one of the important factors affects seedling growth.
Methods: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of water stress on seedling growth in twenty-one blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] genotypes at the pot culture yard of Annamalai University during March 2018. The water stress was created by using Polyethylene Glycol (6000 MW) in different concentrations (0%, 10% and 20%). Different phenotypic characters were recorded such as shoot length, root length, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root dry weight at two different levels of treatment and control. The experiment was laid in a completely randomized design with two replications.
Result: The combined analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p less than 0.001) among genotypes, treatments and genotypes × treatments interaction. The highest stress tolerance index (STI) was recorded by the genotype ADT-5. Based on clustering and ranking, the genotypes ADT-5, KGB-28, RU-16-9, VBG-10010 and VBG-12062 were classified as drought-tolerant. Overall, pot culture screening of 21 blackgram genotypes for drought tolerance at seedling stage using various concentrations of PEG 6000 resulted in the identification of drought-tolerant genotypes, where ADT-5 showed the highest tolerance followed by KGB-28 and RU-16-9.

Background: Problems shallot cultivation in tropical regions such as Indonesia, is low productivity. Planting material is one of the causes of low productivity. The planting material used is a bulb that has been used continuously. It is makes planting material susceptible to infectious diseases and viruses. Efforts can be made to reducing the attack of virus infections in the planting material of the bulbs is by using seeds. However, seed production in Indonesia is still low due to the difficulty of flowering and low viability of seeds. The aim of this research was to detect flowering ability from the source of bulbs flowering and non-flowering clumps using Hd3a primers and endogenous GA3, also the effect of age of bulbs to flowering of shallot.
Methods: The study used a complete randomized block design. The treatment consisted of two factors with three replications. The first factor was source of bulbs flowering and non-flowering clumps. The second factor was age bulbs which consists of three levels, namely the 60, 80 and 90 days age bulbs. The contents of gibberellins was analyzed using HPLC analysis. Molecular analysis to determine the potential of flowering genes used SSR primer (Hd3a).
Result: Hd3a primer can be used as a marker of flowering shallot. Source of bulbs flowering and non-flowering clumps have the same flowering potential gene. The percentage of flowering in flowering clumps was higher than non-flowering clumps and correlates with endogenous gibberellins content. The age of bulbs indicates that older bulbs gave a higher percentage of flowering.

Background: Blackgram or Urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] is an important food legume crop of Indian sub-continent. Urdbean Leaf Crinkle Virus (ULCV) disease is an emerging major yield limiting factor. The yield loss due to ULCV disease ranges from 62 - 100%. So far, no information is available on the genetics of this disease. Hence, the present investigation was carried out to study the nature of inheritance of ULCV disease in blackgram.
Methods: The present investigation was conducted at the National Pulses Research Center, Vamban, Tamil Nadu, India. Seven crosses were made between ULCV susceptible [VBN (Bg] 4, VBN 6 and VBN 8) and resistant (Mash 114, Mash 1008 and VBG 11053) genotypes during Nov-Dec 2016 season. All F2 populations were artificially screened during July-Aug, 2017 for their resistance against ULCV disease through sap transmission technique. Individual plants in F2 generation were scored as resistant and susceptible based on the symptom appearance. Disease reaction was recorded on 60 days after sap transmission. Ratio for ULCV disease (resistance: susceptible) in the segregating population was tested through Chi-square test.
Result: Among crosses viz., VBN 6 x Mash 114, VBN 6 x Mash 1008, VBN 8 x Mash 114, VBN 8 x Mash 1008 and VBN 8 x VBG 11053 had digeneic inhibitory gene action (13R:3S). The cross VBN (Bg) 4 x Mash 1008 had trigeneic inhibitory gene action (49R:15S). The cross VBN (Bg) 4 x Mash 114 did not fit into any genetic ratio. Differences in number of genes involved for ULCV might be due to the presence of similar allelic pattern for a gene among male and female parents. Gene symbols were assigned for six genotypes viz., S1S1S2S2ii [VBN (Bg) 4], S1S1s2s2ii (VBN 6 and VBN 8) and s1s1s2s2ii (Mash 114, Mash 1008 and VBG 11053). Hence, delayed selection in recombination breeding was suggested to enhance the ULCV disease resistance in black gram.

This study aimed to relate the serum levels of energy indicators (glucose and beta-hydroxybutyrate) and calcium to the occurrence of uterine and mammary diseases in the transition period of Holstein cows. One hundred and fifteen Holstein cows from a commercial herd were monitored starting one week before calving and during the first 2 weeks after calving. The presence of subclinical mastitis was monitored for 3 weeks postpartum using the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and somatic cell counting. Positive samples of subclinical mastitis were analyzed for bacterial identification. Clinical mastitis was monitored for 6 weeks postpartum, using data that were recorded by the farmer based on some established definitions. The presence of uterine disorders was identified for 3 weeks postpartum by clinical examination. Blood collections were made from all cows for determining calcium, glucose, and β-hydroxy-butyrate (BHB) the week before calving and twice during the postpartum (days 5 and 15 postpartum). A group of 70 healthy cows was used as control. Clinical mastitis was identified in 20% of the cows, subclinical mastitis in 10.4% and clinical metritis in 8.7% of the cows. The bacterial agents with the highest occurrence in subclinical mastitis cases were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. No relationships were observed between any of the biochemical metabolite studied and the uterine and mammary diseases in the cows during the studied period

Published: November 2020

Otodectes cynotis is one the mite causing parasitic dermatosis in the ear pinna of pets. It produces an intense itching and even some ear complications in the absence of an adequate treatment. The prevalence in domestic cats may reach to 37% and accounts for 85 % of the external otitis cases. Products for treating this mite problem are assorted, even though some of them do not state in the labels whether they are intended to any specific species. On the other hand, there is scarce data available on the compared efficacy of the different drugs used for treatment. Mostly used drugs include selamectin, fipronil, thiabendazole, ivermectin, among others. This study aims to compare the anti-mite efficacy of three drugs in the treatment of otoacariasis caused by Otodectes cynotis, administering ivermectin 1%, fipronil 10%, and selamectin 6% to domestic cats in Puerto Montt. One hundred and seventeen domestic cats were examined and 60 were positive to otoacariasis caused by Otodectes cynotis. These 60 patients were divided into four groups with 15 subjects each: group A, ivermectin 1%, ear drops; group B, fipronil 10%, ear drops; group C, selamectin 6%, topical (spot-on); and group D or control group that received a glycerin placebo as ear drops. Checkups were carried out on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 after applying the drugs. The statistical analysis showed significant mild differences between A, B and C groups and the D group. These results suggest that the treatments with ivermectin, fipronil and selamectin in the concentrations, dosages and administration routes indicated above to solve the otoacariasis caused by Otodectes cynotis are equally efficacious, but show some differences in the specific value of each treatment
Macro-reentrant Single-loop Biatrial Flutter Appearing as Typical Atrial Flutter: Case Study and Review

Published: November 2020

Biatrial flutter is a rare form of macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia that involves both the right and left atria. Single-loop biatrial flutter is typically associated with scarring of the septum from prior ablation or surgery and is generally made up of two interatrial connections—that is, the coronary sinus and Bachmann’s bundle. Entrainment and high-density mapping allow for rapid diagnosis and development of a treatment strategy. Ablation planning should also take into consideration the preservation of interatrial conduction. We herein discuss a case of single-loop biatrial flutter presenting as a typical atrial flutter and review the differential diagnosis and physiology of the arrhythmia.

Published: November 2020

Today, the development of human capital follows the same approaches that have been used since the mid-twentieth century, in a completely different economic and social context. But the rapid development of the remote mode of work, freelancing, and self-employment radically change the organization of their activities. Robots and artificial intelligence perform only a small part of the work today. As the pace of automation increases, the number of employees will decrease. Moreover, it has become easier both technologically and legally. Remote work is now officially recognized, and its terms will be officially spelled out in the employment contract. The article is devoted to the issue of the possible introduction of unconditional basic income (UBI) in the practice of social services and employment services. The unconditional basic income (UBI) is considered today as a regular state payment of a certain amount of money to each member of society, regardless of where they worked or whether they worked at all. The article analyzes the trends in the labour market and their impact on the transition to the concept of unconditional basic income of the UBI. These trends are confirmed by the results of research on various aspects of this problem. Special attention is paid to the impact of the 4th industrial revolution of the 6th TU on employment, as the main condition that ensures the transition to the establishment of the UBI
Gallipoli theme in Russian literature
Authors: Sosnizkaja Margarita S.
Published: November 2020

We consider the history of Russian refugees who found themselves on the territory of Turkey. They were placed in the Naked Field. Despite the conditions that are difficult to compatible with life, they maintained discipline and led an active social life within the settlement, however, the profits and achievements of this activity went far beyond these limits and, thanks to the works of I.S. Lukash and G.I. Gazdanov, became the property of Russian classical literature. The fate of these two pen masters is sometimes literally parallel, sometimes exactly the opposite. Not all the writers of the Naked Field had such a lucky literary star as they had: the young poet junker V. Rutkovsky died of wounds in the “Valley of Roses and Death”. I.S. Lukash and G.I. Gazdanov never write about each other, but the analogies in their prose coincide, sometimes word for word. We carry out an indicative analysis of several pages. They write about the same events that be-came part of their personal and collective experience. We analyze the book “Gazdanov” by
O.M. Orlova from the “Life of Wonderful People” series. The work contains evidence of the Gal-lipoli standing of Russian refugees practically from first hand, provides information about the chronicle of their everyday life.
