Student Project A comparison of natural & synthetic rooting hormones for cuttings propagation using Saxagothea conspicua Lindl.
Authors: Cayon-Fernnadez Isabel
Published: December 2020

This paper examines the effects of using natural and synthetic rooting hormones for cuttings propagation. The study used Saxegothaea conspicua Lindl, a Near Threatened conifer native to Chile and Argentina. A trial was set on 80 semi-ripe cuttings of S. conspicua applying both synthetic (IBA) and natural hormones derived from willow and lentils. This study evaluates and measures the rooting success of using different types of hormones at the end of the trial (such as development of roots, length, etc). It also aims to examine the level and type of auxins found in the lentil and willow rooting solution, if present. After evaluation of results of the present trial and the wider literature, this paper discusses the potential use of this type of natural hormones in future.

The International Plant Sentinel Network: an update on phase 2
Authors: Marfleet Kate , Sharrock Suzanne
Published: December 2020

Invasive plant pests and pathogens pose a considerable threat to plant health worldwide. With increasing globalisation of trade in plants and plant material, and the effects of climate change, this threat is predicted to continue to rise. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of these harmful invasive organisms which cause large-scale environmental and economic damage. A significant issue in managing this threat is predicting which organisms will pose a threat in the future. Sentinel plants are individuals found outside their native ranges that can be surveyed for damage by organisms they would not otherwise encounter. Monitoring plant sentinels can build knowledge and understanding of pest/host relationships to support the development of management plans and risk assessments. Botanic gardens and arboreta, whose collections are estimated to include 30–40 per cent of all known plant species, many of which are exotic, are unique and under-utilised resources that can support sentinel research. The International Plant Sentinel Network (IPSN) consists of botanic gardens and arboreta, National Plant Protection Organisations (NPPOs) and plant health scientists who collaborate to provide an early-warning system for new and emerging plant pests and pathogens. Members provide scientific evidence to NPPOs to inform plant health activities and thus help safeguard susceptible plant species. In the UK, the IPSN conducts research activities prioritised by a Research and Development committee and preliminary findings of recent research activities are outlined in this paper. The IPSN also focuses on increasing knowledge and awareness, seeking best practice, developing standardisedapproaches and providing training materials and methodologies for monitoring and surveying to enable gardens to contribute to sentinel research. Through multi-disciplinary collaboration and information sharing the IPSN aims to reduce the risk that alien invasive pests and pathogens pose to global plant health.

Published: December 2020

Everyone responds to stress differently by using a wide variety of coping strategies. The current study (N = 898; 71.16% White, 13.36% Asian, 6.68% Black, 3.23% Multiracial, 5.57% Other) investigated the relationship between 12 coping strategies of the COPE Inventory (Carver et al., 1989) and 5 racial identities. As expected and in line with previous work, Asian and Black participants tended to use more religious coping ( p < .001), and Asian participants tended to use more restraint as a coping mechanism than White participants (p < .001). Our sample in this study, however, uncovered some novel trends. Interestingly, Asian participants tended to use a diverse mixture of coping strategies, including focusing on and venting of emotions (p = .04), instrumental social support (p = .02), active coping (p = .05), coping humor (p < .001), emotional social support (p = .03), and suppression of competing activities (p < .001). The use of these different coping strategies was counterintuitive due to the nature of Asian collectivist culture. The coping strategies of venting of emotions, instrumental social support, emotional social support, and suppression of competing activities active coping, in particular, challenge collectivist culture norms of emotional control and group harmony. Additional results are reported and explained. The current study suggests that coping strategies vary by racial identity and that people of color tend to utilize more coping strategies than White people.

Published: December 2020

Background:

Intussusception in adults is distinct from pediatric intussusception in many aspects. In contrast to intussusceptions in children, a demonstrable etiology is found in 70%-95% of the cases in the adult population, and approximately 40% of them are caused by primary or secondary malignant neoplasms. But lymphomas, as a cause of lead point in adult intussusception, are extremely rare and only less than 50 cases have been reported in the literature.

Case Presentation:

We are reporting a 44-year-old male who presented with a right iliac fossa mass and clinical features of intussusception and who was operated upon. Per-operative findings were consistent with ileocecal intussusception and a radical right hemicolectomy was conducted. Histopathological examination revealed it as a case of Difuse Large B Cell Lymphoma presenting as the lead point. This case is discussed because of the rarity of the disease and possible cure if diagnosed early and treated aggressively.

Conclusion:

Ileocolic intussusception is adults is usually caused by malignancy and mostly as adenocarcinoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma as a lead point is extremely rare and is usually a histologic surprise. However, a radical en mass resection without reduction is ideal in all forms of adult colocolic and ileocolic intussusception.
The Relationship Between Some Anemia Parameters and Hepcidin Level in Anaplasma phagocytophilum Seropositive Dogs
Authors: DENİZ Menekşe , ŞAHİNDURAN Şima
Published: December 2020

Anaplasmosis in dog is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, a gram-negative, mandatory intracellular bacteria. Although this bacterium is not contagious, it is transmitted through vector tick. Clinically, the acute bacterial phase is the most common in dogs. Animals with clinical disease due to acute infection often have vague symptoms of the disease, including fever, drowsiness, weakness, loss of appetite, and muscle pain. Hepcidin, on the other hand, is a peptide hormone and also plays a role as a type II acute phase reactant and regulator of iron metabolism. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between hepcidin and some anemia parameters in Anaplasma phagocytophilum seropositive dogs and to learn about the use of hepcidin as a biomarker. Our study group was composed of 20 positive Anaplasma phagocytophilum dogs, and our control group consisted of 10 healthy dogs. In both groups, complete blood counts were performed. Hepcidin, iron, ALT, AST and ALP values were also measured in serum samples collected. As a result, hepcidin values between the two groups were statistically significant (p<0.05) and it was concluded that hepcidin could be used as a biomarker in the diagnosis of anaplasma infection in dogs with other parameters.

The Effects of Furosemide usage on Organ System Failure Status based on Modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score in Critically ill Patient
Authors: Marcevianto Kevin Varian , Aditianingsih Dita , Pramudita Eka , Aristya Lara
Published: December 2020

Objectives:

Eighty-six percent of patients administrated with intravenous fluid resuscitation had positive fluid accumulation. This resulted in fluid overload in 35% of all ICU patients in 2009–2012. Then, the worst consequence is multi-organs failures. Thus, one of the treatments is pharmacological diuresis to solve physiological problems. Despite of its adverse effects and fluid balance decrement on the hypoperfused organ, the organ failure resolution of furosemide usage has not been proven through any research. Hence, a research which analyzed the correlation of organ system failure status based on modified sequential organ failure assessment (MSOFA) score with furosemide usage on intensive care patient and their demographics data has been conducted.

Material and Methods:

The research design was a retrospective cohort which analyzed 194 subjects through ICU medical records selected by consecutive sampling method. Data of furosemide usage and MSOFA score changes were recorded. Thereafter, Chi-square test was conducted to analyze the data. Moreover, characteristics of subjects were also recorded and analyzed in this study.

Results:

Based on the characteristics of subjects analysis, significant factors on furosemide usage (P < 0.05) included total fluid changes, total fluid after therapy, organ system dysfunctions before therapy (including the respiratory and central nervous system), organ system dysfunction after therapy (cardiovascular), and MSOFA score before therapy. Very significant factors (P < 0.001) include total fluid before therapy, organ system dysfunction after therapy (central nervous system), and MSOFA score after therapy. There was a significant association between worsening organ system failure with furosemide usage on critically ill patients, especially in the cardiovascular and central nervous system. The relative risk result reported that furosemide usage resulted in higher MSOFA score 1.271 times more than those patients with no furosemide diuresis usage (95% CI 1.108– 1.458). Furosemide usage in this research worsens organ dysfunction, especially in cardiovascular and central nervous systems.

Conclusion:

The furosemide usage worsens the organ failure based on MSOFA score. Furosemide therapy should be individually adjusted, especially in those who have respiration, cardiovascular, and central nervous system dysfunction.
Uterine Lipoleiomyoma in the Context of Adenocarcinoma
Authors: Rasmussen Taylor , Sanchirico Paul , Pfeiffer David
Published: December 2020

We describe a case of a 63-year-old woman referred to an oncologist for treatment of endometrial adenocarcinoma. A computed tomography scan revealed the incidental finding of a 11.5 × 10.5 × 9.0 cm myomatous mass in the uterine corpus adjacent to, yet uninvolved with, the adenocarcinoma. Histopathological analysis confirmed the mass to be a lipoleiomyoma, a rare single variant of lipoma. These fatty tumors present similar to leiomyomas and as such are generally not harmful; however, the potential exists for diagnostic confusion with other uterine tumors. This case serves to further illuminate the findings associated with these rare tumors.

Authors: Fiester Peter , Baig Saif Ahmed , Patel Jeet , Rao Dinesh
Published: December 2020

The medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) is a paired, highly specialized, and heavily myelinated nerve bundle responsible for extraocular muscle movements, including the oculomotor reflex, saccadic eye movements an smooth pursuit, and the vestibular ocular reflex. Clinically, lesions of the MLF are classically associated with internuclear ophthalmoplegia. However, clinical manifestations of a lesion in the MLF may be more complex and variable. We provide an overview of the neuroanatomy, neurologic manifestations, and correlative examples of the imaging findings on brain MRI of MLF lesions to provide the clinician and radiologist with a more comprehensive understanding of the MLF and potential clinical manifestations for an MLF lesion.
The influence of calcium signaling on the development of autism spectrum disorders

Published: December 2020

Расстройства аутистического спектра (РАС) являются сложной группой нейропсихиатрических заболеваний с точки зрения этиопатогенеза. В основе нейрональных нарушений, приводящих к аутистической симптоматике, лежат дисфункции сигнальных путей. Согласно последним исследованиям одним из наиболее значимых сигнальных путей в развитии данной группы заболеваний является кальциевый сигнальный путь. Кальциевая сигнализация тесно связана с такими сигнальными путями, как MAPK-, Wnt-, PI3K/AKT/mTOR-, нарушение в работе которых приводит к нарушениям серотонинергической, дофаминергической, опиоидной, холинергической, глутаматергической, ГАМКергической передачи и влечет за собой эксайтотоксичность за счёт гиперактивации NMDA- и AMPA-рецепторов, повреждение и гибель нейронов. Все эти процессы в нейрональных клетках напрямую связаны с формированием долговременного потенцирования и депрессии, а нарушения в этих клетках приводят к дисфункции базисных психических процессов. С клинической точки зрения кальциевый сигнальный путь может стать одной из основных мишеней для фармакологической коррекции симптоматических проявлений РАС. Очевидно, что дальнейшие исследования на животных моделях и электрофизиологические клинические исследования необходимы для понимания патогенетических особенностей развития РАС, а также какое именно место занимает сигнальный путь Ca 2+ в данных состояниях. Дальнейшие исследования необходимы, для прояснения потенциальной роли сигнализации Ca 2+в изменениях социального или стериотипического поведении пациентов, что является основной обенностью РАС.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of neuropsychiatric diseases with a complex etiopathogenesis. Neuronal disorders leading to autistic symptoms are determined by dysfunction of signaling pathways. Recent studies have demonstrated that the calcium signaling pathway is one of the major significant pathways for this group of disorders. Calcium signaling is closely linked to MAPK-, Wnt-, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR -pathways, which abnormalities lead to dysfunction of serotonergic, dopaminergic, opioidergic, cholinergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic transmission and result in excitotoxicity due to hyperactivation of NMDA and AMPA receptors and neuronal damage and death. These processes in neuronal cells are associated with formation of long-term potentiation and depression, and disturbances in these cells lead to failure of basic mental processes. From a clinical point of view, the calcium signaling pathway can become one of major targets for the pharmacological treatment of symptomatic ASD. Obviously, further animal studies and electrophysiological human studies are required for understanding pathogenetic mechanisms of ASD and the contribution of Ca 2+ signaling. Future research will clarify a potential role of Ca 2+ signaling in social or stereotypic behavior, which constitutes a main feature of ADS.
Analysis of the anticancer effect of endostatin on oral squamous cell carcinoma based on results of experimental studies
Authors: Тугузбаева Г.М. , Павлов В.Н. , Еникеев Д.А.
Published: December 2020

При плоскоклеточном раке полости рта основной причиной летальных исходов является метастазирование в регионарные лимфатические узлы. Злокачественный рост и формирование метастазов напрямую зависят от степени кровоснабжения первичного очага новообразования. Известно, что по мере прогрессирования опухолевый процесс сопровождается нарушением сбалансированной в норме системы регуляции ангиогенеза с превалированием уровня ангиогенных стимуляторов над ингибиторами. В связи с этим, использование антиангиогенных средств является патофизиологически обоснованным методом борьбы со злокачественным ростом. В обзоре обсуждаются данные доклинических исследований участия эндостатина, природного ингибитора ангиогенеза, в процессах подавления прогрессии и метастазирования плоскоклеточного рака челюстно-лицевой области. Проанализированы патогенетические механизмы ингибирования эндостатином опухолевого роста в экспериментальных моделях рака полости рта. Эндостатин можно рассматривать в качестве потенциального противоопухолевого средства для лечения данной нозологии.

The main reason for cancer-associated mortality in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma is metastatic spread to regional lymph nodes. It is known that the processes of malignant growth and metastasis are highly dependent on blood supply to the primary cancerous focus. The development of malignancy is accompanied by failure of the normally well-balanced system of angiogenesis regulation with prevalence of proangiogenic factors over inhibitors. Therefore, the use of angiogenic inhibitors is a pathophysiologically justified method aimed at suppression of cancer progression. This review presents reports of experimental studies on the role of endostatin, a natural inhibitor of angiogenesis, in processes of tumour shrinkage in squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillofacial region. The authors analysed pathogenic mechanisms of the anticancer effects exhibited by endostatin in preclinical models of oral malignancy. Endostatin can be regarded as a potential antitumor agent for the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Unknown Sources and Archives of Military History: The 1848-1850 Tsarist Campaign Diary from the Romanian Lands in the Russian State Military-Historical Archive in Moscow
Authors: Cosma Ela
Published: December 2020

The present article approaches the ample Tsarist campaign diary (1,300 folios), describing Moldavia and Wallachia’s 1848-1850 military occupation by the Russian 5th army corps led by general commander Alexander Nikolaevich Lüders, and the protecting power’s armed interventions in Transylvania (1849). The echoes of this long military campaign were feebler at that time, than those of the much- clamored Russian campaign in Hungary (June-August 1849). Ignored so far by the Russian and Romanian historiographies (even if for different reasons), the 1848-1850 occupation of the Romanian Lands is minutely related by an unknown source, recently discovered in the Russian State Military-Historical Archive in Moscow and edited by us. Also analyzed the difficult conditions of access in the War Archive of the former Tsarist Empire, today Eastern Europe’s largest military archive of medieval and modern history.

Published: December 2020

This paper aims to investigate structuring classroom activities in experiential learning cycles to facilitate first-year Business and Accounting students’ engagement in principles of accounting course. The levels of student engagement and achievement in understanding accounting concepts are measured at the end of the course. The content of fundamental accounting is structured into experiential learning cycles to provide a practical model for learning accounting concepts. Two models of students learning are tested in this study are the Kolb Experiential Learning Model and Burch Engagement Model. A quasi - experimental study is implemented to test the effectiveness of an experiential learning model in improving student engagement. Lessons on Business Accounting is structured into an experiential learning cycle and delivered to an experimental group to measure the improvement in students’ engagement. Burch Engagement Model which measures students’ cognitive, emotional, and physical engagement is applied in measuring their engagement level. A pre and post-test design are employed to measure the difference in their engagement level between the control and the experimental group. The respondents of this study are a total of 112 students in Principles of Accounting course. Questionnaires and test sets are the measurement instruments used for data collection. After an eight-week exposure to experiential learning strategy, the post -test score for students’ engagement show an increase in means of the four dimensions of student engagement, with the highest mean in the cognitive in-class engagement, followed by cognitive out-of class, physical and emotional engagement. Improvement in the cognitive score is concluded to be significant across the cognitive levels of Bloom Taxonomy mainly in understanding, application, and analysis. The implications of this study involve improvement of the support system to materialize the experiential learning strategy.

Authors: Irwansyah Irwansyah , Hardiah Sofiatul
Published: December 2020

This research examines digital empowerment in high schools in Indonesia. Based on the reflexivity perspective, digital empowerment is described as the effort to respond to changes in learning systems in digital-based schools. This research was conducted qualitatively through observations and in-depth interviews. The participants of this study included school principals and the teachers of information and communication technology in three Indonesian public senior high schools in different cities, namely Banda Aceh, Padang, and Banjarmasin. The results highlighted the need to understand the context and projections of the teachers' and student's ability and self-access to information and communication technology elements, in which appropriate measures can be formulated in response to the digitisation of the teaching-learning process in the schools. Self-awareness and information and communication technology competence shape digital empowerment efforts in schools based on their respective needs and abilities. As such, the digital-based collaboration of teaching and learning can be construed as a form of contextual digital empowerment, which is applied at the micro-level adapting to dynamic changes in digital competence, especially in teachers and students.

To assess the effect when creating flower beds from tagetes in the open field, an indicator of flowering productivity was used. Based on the determination of this indicator in the phase of mass flowering of plants, it was revealed that in African Tagetes, in comparison with the rejected, the structure of the flower garden was formed due to larger spherical inflorescences, but with a lower density of planting. Due to the morphological features of African Tagetes hybrids, flower beds have been created from perfectly aligned terry baskets. The average productivity of flowering was 41.3 pcs / m². Analysis of variance showed that the variation in flowering productivity was more dependent on the species than on the studied Tagetes hybrid.

results of research on the effect of anti-slag herbicides: Axial, CE, Verdict, VDG, Lastik exstra, EС, Pallas 45, MD on spring wheat Agata in the Moscow region are presented. The research was performed in 2019 on the fields of the Nemchinovka research center. Infestation was represented by two types of monocotyledonous weeds from the Bluegrass family (Grasses): annual bluegrass (Póa Annua) and barn grass (Echinóchloa crus-gálli). The use of anti-slag herbicides reduces the number of weeds in the experiment and their air-dry mass. Herbicide treatment increased the wheat grain yield by 1.19-1.67 t / ha and increased protein by 0.5-3.3%.

The influence of cultivation technology on the productivity of sugar beet has been established with two studied methods of basic soil cultivation. The best in terms of sugar collection (114.2 and 115.5 c / ha) was the option with pesticide-free cultivation technology, both against the background of moldboard and moldboard with periodic deep loosening of soil cultivation. The maximum bioenergy efficiency has been revealed for this technology. At the same time, the highest values of the coefficients of net efficiency and the ratio of received and expended energy were noted, as well as the maximum yield of sugar beet root crops per 1 gJ of energy expended, regardless of soil cultivation

Introduction

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the etiological agent of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). People infected with SARS-CoV-2 may exhibit no or mild non-specific symptoms; thus, they may contribute to silent circulation of the virus among humans. Since SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in stool samples, monitoring SARS-CoV-2 RNA in waste water (WW) has been proposed as a complementary tool to investigate virus circulation in human populations.

Aim

To test if the quantification of SARS-CoV-2 genomes in WW correlates with the number of symptomatic or non-symptomatic carriers.

Method

We performed a time-course quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-qPCR in raw WW samples collected from several major WW treatment plants in Greater Paris. The study period was 5 March to 23 April 2020, including the lockdown period in France (from 17 March).

Results

We showed that the increase of genome units in raw WW accurately followed the increase of human COVID-19 cases observed at the regional level. Of note, the viral genome could be detected before the epidemic grew massively (around 8 March). Equally importantly, a marked decrease in the quantities of genome units was observed concomitantly with the reduction in the number of new COVID-19 cases, 29 days following the lockdown.

Conclusion

This work suggests that a quantitative monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 genomes in WW could generate important additional information for improved monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 circulation at local or regional levels and emphasises the role of WW-based epidemiology.

(Sadler C, Brett K, Heerboth A, Swisher AR, Mehregani N, Touriel R, Cannon DT. Safety proposals for freediving time limits should consider the metabolic-rate dependence of oxygen stores depletion. Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2020 December 20;50(4):356–362. doi: 10.28920/dhm50.4.356-362. PMID: 33325016.) Introduction: There is no required training for breath-hold diving, making dissemination of safety protocols difficult. A recommended breath-hold dive time limit of 60 s was proposed for amateur divers. However, this does not consider the metabolic-rate dependence of oxygen stores depletion. We aimed to measure the effect of apnoea time and metabolic rate on arterial and tissue oxygenation. Methods: Fifty healthy participants (23 (SD 3) y, 22 women) completed four periods of apnoea for 60 s (or to tolerable limit) during rest and cycle ergometry at 20, 40, and 60 W. Apnoea was initiated after hyperventilation to achieve PETCO2 of approximately 25 mmHg. Pulse oximetry, frontal lobe oxygenation, and pulmonary gas exchange were measured throughout. We defined hypoxia as SpO2 < 88%. Results: Static and exercise (20, 40, 60 W) breath-hold break times were 57 (SD 7), 50 (11), 48 (11), and 46 (11) s (F [2.432, 119.2] = 32.0, P < 0.01). The rise in PETCO2 from initiation to breaking of apnoea was dependent on metabolic rate (time × metabolic rate interaction; F [3,147] = 38.6, P < 0.0001). The same was true for the fall in SpO2 (F [3,147] = 2.9, P = 0.03). SpO2 fell to < 88% on 14 occasions in eight participants, all of whom were asymptomatic. Conclusions: Independent of the added complexities of a fall in ambient pressure on ascent, the effect of apnoea time on hypoxia depends on the metabolic rate and is highly variable among individuals. Therefore, we contend that a universally recommended time limit for breath-hold diving or swimming is not useful to guarantee safety.
AMERİKA BİRLEŞİK DEVLETLERİ’NDE “BEYAZLARIN ÜSTÜNLÜĞÜ” HAREKETLERİ: NÜKLEER SİLAH TÜMENİ ÖRNEK OLAY İNCELEMESİ
Authors: BURAL Erol Başaran
Published: December 2020

“Beyazların üstünlüğü” hareketleri, beyaz insanların diğerlerine göre daha üstün olduğunu savunan, beyazlara sembolik ve maddi anlamda ayrıcalık yükleyen fikirler etrafında şekillenen, aşırı sağ içerisinde kendisine yer bulan etnik hareketlerdir. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde (ABD) “beyazların üstünlüğü” hareketleri, Kuzey Amerika’nın keşfinin ardından Amerikalı yerlilere karşı başlamıştır. “Beyazların üstünlüğü” hareketleri Afrika Kıtası’ndaki sömürge ülkelerden getirilen siyahlara karşı geliştirilen nefret söylemi üzerinden büyümüştür. Günümüzde ise Yahudi ve Müslüman karşıtlığını da içerisinde barındıran bu hareketler artan bir şekilde varlıklarını sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; ABD’de “beyazların üstünlüğünü” esas alan etnik temelli aşırı sağ hareketleri, Nükleer Silah Tümeni (The Atomwaffen Division - NST) isimli örgüt çerçevesinde incelemektir. Araştırmanın temel varsayımı; ABD’de yaşanabilecek muhtemel bir kriz/kaos durumunun aşılamaması durumunda “beyazların üstünlüğü” hareketinin siyasal maksatlı şiddet eylemleri düzenleyebileceği, gelecekte bu hareketlerin ABD için daha büyük bir tehdit olmaya devam edeceğidir. Çalışma kapsamında öncelikle “beyazların üstünlüğü” kavramı incelenmiş, kavramın tarihsel süreçteki yeri ortaya konulmuş, ABD’deki “beyazların üstünlüğü” örgütlenmeleri ve son olarak örnek olay çerçevesinde NST örgütü araştırılmıştır. “Beyazların üstünlüğü” kavramının etnik temelde kendisine yer bulduğu ancak sadece etnisite değil dini farklılıkların da söz konusu fikri savunanlar tarafından istismar edildiği, beyazların üstünlüğü savunucusu örgütlerin gelecekte ABD için bir tehdit unsuru olmaya devam edeceği, çalışmanın sonuçları arasındadır.
