Authors: Güler Güney İnci , Derviş Sibel , Özer Göksel , Aktaş Hüsnü , Keske Mehmet Ata
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the physiological and biochemical properties and enzyme activities of endophytic bacteria obtained from different wheat genotypes, as well as their effectiveness against Fusarium culmorum, which causes root and crown rot in wheat. The results obtained from double culture tests of isolates against F. culmorum showed that the inhibition rate varied between 80.56% and 13.90%. The inhibition rate against F. culmorum was 80.59% for Bacillus subtilis (MM11), 69.41% for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (EY5), and 61.10% for Enterobacter sp. (MY3) under in vitro conditions, the most effective isolates. Pseudomonas putida (EM9) and Pseudomonas orientalis (MM21) isolates gave positive results in all tests in the production of amylase, cellulase, phosphatase, ACC deaminase, and siderophore. To identify six promising isolates, 16S rRNA gene-based sequence analysis was utilized. The efficacy of bacterial strains against F. culmorum, pot experiments were conducted in a growth room (in vivo). The results demonstrated that the combination of S. maltophilia, Enterobacter sp., and B. subtilis (MY3+EY5+MM11) yielded the most favorable outcomes in terms of disease severity, plant height, wet weight, dry weight, root wet weight, and root dry weight. The combination of Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, P. putida, and P. orientalis (EY1+EM9+MM21) exhibited promising results. Utilizing effective bacterial strains is anticipated to reduce the dependence on and costs associated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides while minimizing their environmental impact. Furthermore, these strains show potential for commercial applications pending further validation procedures. The findings from this study significantly contribute to the field of biological control strategies against F. culmorum by leveraging the diverse capabilities of endophytic bacteria.

Published: April 2024

In this study, the responses of pollen tubes to spermidine treatments (10 µM, 25 µM, 50 µM, 100 µM, 250 µM, or 500 µM) were investigated in Actinidia deliciosa, by focusing on pollen germination rate, pollen tube length, organizations of actin filaments, concentrations of Ca+2, pH, reactive oxygen species and distributions of callose and cellulose. According to findings, the only positive effect was detected after 10 µM spermidine treatment while the most negative acute effect was detected after 500 µM spermidine treatment and, further experiments were done in these groups. 10 µM spermidine increased the pollen tube length by changing the concentration of apex localized reactive oxygen species. 500 µM spermidine decreased the pollen tube length by changing the apex localized Ca+2, pH, and reactive oxygen species concentration. Findings would contribute to the understanding of the effects of polyamines on pollen tubes.

Authors: Bogomaz A. E. , Dmitriev A. G.
Published: April 2024

Adaptive models of strategic analysis are crucial in unstable market conditions for modern organizations. These models assist organizations in identifying and responding to the changing business environment, ensuring their sustainable development and competitive market position. The use of adaptive management allows companies to make flexible and informed decisions considering the impact of digitalization on business relationships. Factors such as leadership, culture, structure, and business strategy play an essential role in supporting organizational changes and adaptation. This paper discusses the fundamentals of adaptive management, including models of strategic analysis and strategic management. It covers the theoretical foundations of adaptive management, organizational structures with an adaptive management type, adaptive analysis models, and provides examples of companies that employ various tools. Additionally, a model of adaptive organizational management is developed, enabling companies to evolve in uncertain conditions. This model includes three subsystems: diagnostic of premises, selection of the optimal option, and implementation of the strategic scenario. The article concludes that adaptive strategic management is quite relevant in the context of variability and high environmental uncertainty; however, the strategy should not remain static.

Voluntariado y responsabilidad estatal: la salud en Delhi colonial
Authors: Carballido Coria Laura
Published: April 2024

En 1928 se formó la Delhi Health and Social Service Union, que buscaba centralizar y coordinar los varios proyectos de salud pública en la provincia de Delhi. Durante su breve existencia, pues se disolvió en 1932, intervino en áreas como la inspección de niños y niñas en escuelas, el bienestar materno-infantil, la promoción de la salud, la vivienda, el hacinamiento y la mendicidad, entre otras. El análisis de su funcionamiento permitirá entender debates importantes sobre salud pública durante las décadas de 1910 a 1930 que incluían: la relevancia de que la población india interviniera activamente con trabajo voluntario y donaciones, y la participación del gobierno colonial, que daría la pauta, pero sin asumir un compromiso mayor, principalmente de carácter financiero. Sin embargo, había voces críticas que veían la necesidad de que el Estado colonial interviniera de manera más directa y de que hubiera una organización central.

Peach Fuzz: Conceptual Engineering of Color Categories
Authors: Griber Yu. A.
Published: April 2024

This article explores the products of conceptual engineering in contemporary media communication and mass culture. The analysis examines the mechanisms and communicative consequences of intentionally creating color categories. The shade known as peach fuzz, selected by the Pantone Institute as the color of the year 2024, is used as a case study. It is shown that in the case of the color of the year, the transmission of the conceptual idea involves two channels simultaneously (visual and verbal), each in two different forms. The author notes that the visual channel is used to ostensively present the shade with specific chromatic characteristics and to develope a complex visual image on this basis. Special attention is paid to the verbal channel, which is utilized in the form of intentionally constructed color designations and supporting stories (conceptual myths). It is concluded that from the perspective of color communication, verbal and visual texts serve fundamentally different functions. The visual representation shows how the viewer should see the color, while the verbal explanation clarifies why this shade is needed. It is demonstrated that the image embedded in the color name sets the desired connotation, which can transform the perception of the shade by adding necessary meanings to it. The verbal story defines a cognitive “point of view” for introducing a new category into an existing color system.
Manipulative Techniques in Media Texts: A Case Study of Russian-Language Media in Kazakhstan
Authors: Shakenova M. T. , Aitmagambetova M. B.
Published: April 2024

The article explores the methods of manipulation of consciousness in the mass media on the example of content analysis of Kazakhstan Russian-language sources. The authors reveal the concept of manipulation. Media manipulation is carried out at different levels - informational and emotionally expressive according to the two leading functions of the media language: information and impact. In accordance with this, the manipulation is realised at the level of information or expression. Examples of information manipulation through the expansion of information about the described object by including additional, metacommunicative and modified information are given. Another level of manipulation in the media is emotional and expressive influence. Such manipulation is based on labelling, appealing to authority, the interests of ordinary people, appealing to values, traditions, the use of associative binding, false comparisons, false alternatives, exploitation of slogans, conspiracy theories, myths, ridicule and other techniques. According to the authors, the use of media manipulation techniques generates cognitive tension when understanding additional meaning, which leads to a change in the attitude, evaluation and emotional perception of information on the part of the audience.
Genre Features of Professional Screenplays in Russia in 1910s: Theory and Practice
Authors: Plotnikova A. G.
Published: April 2024

The article explores the genre dominants of Silver Age screenplays. Theoretical concepts of film dramaturgy are applied to the texts of A. A. Khanzhonkov’s “From the World of Mystery” (1915) and A. S. Voznesensky’s “God” (1918). The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive analysis of these screenplay texts for the first time. The relevance is justified by contemporary philology’s interest in the intermedial aspect of literature. The screenplays exhibit an orientation towards literary models: a wide range of linguistic devices (metaphors, similes, inversions), complex composition, psychological depth, and more. Cinematic expressiveness is realized through a system of modalities (real time, memories, dreams, imagination, altered consciousness, etc.), description of character movements, and “visual sound.” The study suggests that the genre of screenwriting in silent cinema fundamentally differs from subsequent eras and tends towards the epic rather than the dramatic genre. Discrepancies between directorial and literary scripts occurred early in the genre’s formation. A comprehensive examination of original realized screenplays could be key to understanding the reasons for the unsatisfactory results of writer-filmmaker interactions.
Evolution of Literary-Critical Method of Julius Aikhenvald and His Views on Shakespeare’s Creativity
Authors: Serdechnaya V. V. , Zhatkin D. N.
Published: April 2024

The research problem concerns the evolution of critical views of Julius Isaevich Aikhenvald (1872—1928) in relation to his perception of William Shakespeare’s creativity. The aim of the study is to trace how changes in the critic’s personal fate and the global political situation led to his reevaluation of Shakespeare’s images. The material consists of little-known articles by the critic, published both in Russia in the 1910s-1920s and in emigration (mainly in the emigrant newspaper “Rul”). Hermeneutical, historical-cultural, and comparative methods were used for the research. It is established that in the pre-revolutionary period, Julius Aikhenvald, following his subjective immanent method of criticism, evaluates Shakespeare as a universal genius (in particular, comparing him to Leo Tolstoy). The most important characteristic becomes the universality of the playwright’s artistic attention, allowing to reflect all aspects of existence, beyond any hierarchies. In particular, Aikhenvald implicitly speaks about Shakespeare’s moral relativism. However, in the emigrant period, using Shakespeare’s images (primarily the images of Caliban and Coriolanus) to analyze the historical situation in the USSR, he comes to affirm the objectivity of good and truth as characteristics of literature and social reality.
Escalation of Anglo-German Relations Amidst Strengthening of ‘War Party’ in Germany during Crisis Period of 1908—1911
Authors: Egorov A. A. , Boyko O. O.
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is Anglo-German relations during the crisis period of 1908-1911. The aim of the work is to examine the views and activities of German state and public figures who directly or indirectly influenced the overall background of Anglo-German relations in the context of escalating antagonism between the two states. This process was influenced by the so-called ‘war party’, to which a certain group of German politicians with pronounced nationalist-chauvinistic ideals belonged. The historical sources used in the article are analyzed from a personal approach and anthropology of international relations. Based on these sources, the previously poorly studied activities of the German elite, who acted in conjunction with Kaiser Wilhelm II and shaped Germany’s current foreign policy agenda in the pre-war period, are characterized. The author concludes that throughout the entire crisis period of Anglo-German relations from 1908 to 1911, neither the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor Chancellors B. Bülow and T. Bethmann-Hollweg were able to fully seize the initiative from the ‘war party’, which was shaping Wilhelm II’s policies. This became possible due to constitutional deformation and the celebrated ideas of a great national state in German society.
Motivation of Volunteers during Great Patriotic War (Case Study of Rostov Region)
Authors: Eldinov O. A.
Published: April 2024

This article explores the motivations behind citizens joining volunteer formations during the Great Patriotic War. The study relies on archival and published sources on the history of volunteer movements in the Rostov region. The research is based on a military-anthropological approach, aiming to understand the worldview of volunteers and the qualitative and quantitative parameters of volunteer movements in the Don region. The relevance of the study lies in the necessity of attracting more attention from researchers to understand what drove individuals to act during wartime. A detailed analysis of the archives at the Center for Documentation of Recent History of Rostov Region revealed characteristic models of voluntarism. The author concludes that the mechanism of agitation and propaganda intertwines with deeply personal motives of resistance against the enemy. A classification of tools influencing participants’ motives is proposed, including visual imagery, state symbolism, the work of agitators and propagandists, and oath-taking. The novelty of the research lies in the author’s exploration of the mechanism influencing public consciousness in a specific region with limited time to prepare the population for resistance against the adversary.
Alans and Chingizid States in 13th-15th Centuries
Authors: Kaziev E. V.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the relationship between the Alans and the Mongols during the latter’s global expansion. The aim is to present the main historical narratives on this issue. Various multilingual written sources from the 13th-16th centuries were used for the research. The historical-genetic approach allowed for the presentation of relevant source information outside the context of specific studies on different aspects of the problem. As a result, Alan-Mongol relations are traced within the complex of historical events, processes, and phenomena that constituted Mongol expansion. Conclusions are drawn that the Alans, inhabiting various regions of Eurasia, were drawn into the orbit of the internal and external political life of the Mongol Empire. It is asserted that despite the severe consequences of Mongol conquest, Caucasian Alania managed to integrate into the economic and political system of the Golden Horde, while Alan settlement enclaves and districts in its western and eastern parts, as well as Alans in Mongolia and China, were assimilated. Additionally, it is shown that ally-vassal relations with the Jochids played a crucial role for the North Caucasian Alans, involving them in confrontation with Timur’s empire on the side of Khan Tokhtamysh.
Activities of Parish Guardianships of Tobolsk Diocese in Second Third of 19th — Early 20th Centuries
Authors: Kruglikov A. S. , Tsys V. V.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the issues of creation, functioning, and main directions of activities of parish guardianships of the Tobolsk Diocese in the second third of the 19th — early 20th centuries. The study is based on materials from federal and regional archives, as well as the “Tobolsk Diocesan Gazette.” It is noted that the organization of guardianships was part of the church reforms during the reign of Alexander II aimed at revitalizing parish life. The conclusion is drawn that the guardianships did not live up to the expectations placed on them. Despite their quantitative growth, parishioners preferred to allocate funds for decorating churches rather than improving the clergy’s standard of living. Even in the most affluent parishes, expenses did not focus on enhancing the priests' material well-being. The alienation of the clergy and laity, dissatisfaction of diocesan authorities with the possible loss of control over church revenues and expenditures, and priests’ fears that guardians might try to isolate them from parish affairs were reasons for this phenomenon. Nevertheless, the work of the guardianships prompted parishioners to rethink their rights regarding parish self-government and had a positive impact in this regard.
Role of State Authorities in Preserving Industrial Heritage of Chelyabinsk Region (1960s-1980s)
Authors: Lakhtionova E. S.
Published: April 2024

This article aims to identify the role and contribution of state authorities in the Chelyabinsk region during the 1960s-1980s in preserving industrial heritage sites. The relevance of this study is driven by the urgent need to draw attention of governmental structures to the issue of destruction of remaining monuments of industrial past. The primary sources utilized are archival materials concentrated in the Unified State Archive of the Chelyabinsk region, with many documents being introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the absence of prior research on this topic. The tasks of state bodies in the field of monument protection according to existing regulatory acts of the specified period are identified. The research demonstrates that the most significant contribution was made towards identification, registration, and study of industrial heritage sites, with 43 objects receiving monument status by 1989. However, activities related to repair, restoration, and museumification of registered monuments proved less productive, as only one industrial heritage site had been museumified by 1989. This was attributed to insufficient oversight by state authorities regarding the preservation and utilization procedures of registered monuments.
Matrix-Network Modeling of Translation Communication from Perspective of Eco-Translatology
Authors: Remkhe I. N.
Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of a search study conducted based on ecosystemic and network approaches in translation studies within the framework of the concept of “human — network environment”. The relevance is determined by the importance of considering the socio-communicative aspect in translation activities and viewing the translator as a functionally integrated element of the network environment. Communicative-network interaction of participants in a translation project is described. The research methodology is based on the potential of matrix and network modeling methods for processing and visualizing data of translation communication. The analysis is carried out using two models: a responsibility distribution matrix and an undirected graph compiled using a social network visualizer program as a hypothetical projection of a more complex model, verified in practice. Examples of analyzing project interaction between written and oral translations based on a protocol of pilot interviews with English language translators about their experience working in a translation department at an industrial enterprise in the Chelyabinsk region are used as materials. The comprehensive methodology of matrix-network modeling allows for explicitating the specifics of work in a translation project at an enterprise, identifying control-network nodes that accumulate the main communicative load, and determining strategies to enhance communication efficiency.

Authors: Obokoh Lawrence , Arogundade Sodiq , Sthembiso Nkwinika , Akinola Segun
Published: April 2024

As digital technologies continue to shape the economy, countries are faced with increasing scrutiny in the use of digital transformation to aid productivity and improve performance. In South Africa, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated Small and medium-sized businesses’ (SMEs’) uptake of digital technologies, as many businesses had to shift their operations online and adopt new digital tools and technologies to solve the challenges posed by the pandemic. This has led to an increased focus on digital transformation mechanisms among South African firms. Therefore, the study examines the effect of digital transformation on the productivity of firms using cross-sectional data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) (2020). The survey was based on firms and is a representative sample of the private sector in the South African economy and covers a wide variety of business environment themes, such as infrastructure, competitiveness, access to finance, and performance indicators. We found that digital transformation improved productivity of South African firms. Furthermore, empirical findings are reassuring robust to the IV-2SLS and quantile regression model, size of business, sectoral and provincial analysis. Finally, we recommend that policy makers should develop and implement initiatives to improve digital infrastructure, including high-speed internet access and reliable connectivity, especially in rural and underserved areas.

Authors: Vaca Cabrero Javier , González-Cancelas Nicoletta , Camarero Orive Alberto , Soler Flores Francisco
Published: April 2024

A metaverse is an environment where humans interact socially and economically as avatars in cyberspace, which acts as a metaphor for the real world but without its physical or economic limitations. Many people use this new technology to connect with others, exchange content or discover new hobbies. Unlike other virtual worlds, the metaverse offers an online world that can be shaped. For the ports of the Spanish port system, it is intended to determine the new virtual port ecosystem that could be developed in the short term through an affinity diagram, which is a diagram that is used for the organization of ideas provided by a group on a complex problem that is held in a specific area, in this case reaching meta ports in the port system. The main conclusion is that to advance on this concept the new operating models and customers and services, are the blocks where the greatest efforts will have to be made.

Aortic thrombosis and acute kidney injury due to atherosclerosis in a dog
Authors: González-Domínguez Andrea , Tormo Jorge Rosell , Herrería-Bustillo Vicente J.
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE

Atherosclerosis is a chronic lipid-driven inflammatory disease of the arterial wall. Due to its cardiovascular ischemic complications, it is one of the most common causes of death in people. However, atherosclerosis is seldomly reported in dogs.

ANIMAL

A 10-year-old male mixed-breed dog.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES

Severe acute kidney injury associated with thrombosis of the abdominal aorta.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

Treatment included renal replacement therapy, antithrombotic therapy, and supportive care. However, the dog developed neurological and respiratory complications and was euthanized due to worsening kidney function and lack of improvement of the thrombosis. Postmortem examination confirmed the presence of aortic thromboembolism and renal infarcts. Histology revealed severe chronic-active atherosclerosis of the distal aorta and renal arteries.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Aortic thrombosis is uncommon in dogs, and it is often associated with underlying conditions such as protein-losing nephropathy, endocrine disorders, cardiac disease, or hypercoagulability. In this case, no specific underlying cause was identified and atherosclerosis was considered the primary cause of the thrombosis.
Maqāṣid Al-Sharīʿa-Based Analysis of Learning Modules For Muslim Reverts in East Coast Malaysia
Authors: Rusli Nazihah , Kadir Firdaus Khairi Abdul , Embong Abdul Hanis , Rahman Asyraf Hj Ab. , Salamun Hailan , Kadir Kasyfullah Abd
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This paper proposes the effectiveness of the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa as a reliable approach for the thence reason; a set of Islamic laws, which aims to promote the welfare of individuals and society, particularly the reverts. There are five basic elements in human needs; amongst are the preservation of religion, life, lineage/dignity, intellectualism, and property.
 
Theoretical framework: Islam is one of the fastest-growing beliefs and is expected to become the world’s dominant religion by 2070. For those who embraced Islam and identified as Muslim reverts, there is a willingness for them to adapt to an Islamic lifestyle, but it does not come without challenges. Conversion to Islam has been tarnished by claims of extremism (violent and non-violent), radicalization, and sadly, terrorism. They are also torn between being rejected by family and original society.
 
Design/methodology/approach: It used content analysis to evaluate the contents of the proposed learning modules and ATLAS.ti version 22 for the analysis and findings. The study took place at three institutions that are responsible for the reverts on the East Coast of Malaysia. It is where they are guided by values and principles that underlie Islamic teachings. The module among others enables the reverts to connect themselves with the essence of their new faith and develop a balanced approach to such practice and assist with the challenges they face as a Muslim.
 
Findings: The finding of the study revealed the learning modules were compatible in line with the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa approach and at the same time managed to give strength to the learners/reverts in the Muslim society without putting aside their non-Muslim families.
 
Discussion: Nevertheless, to say, this philosophical approach is a multidisciplinary discipline that gives a place and right of the reverts in Islam and society as a whole. Such modules can be used as a bridge to give a better understanding to other counterparts, so Islam can be seen with a simple dichotomy that promotes justice and welcomes all and love for all at the same time.
An Eco-Dendrometric Study of Atlas Cedar (Cedrus Altantica Manetti) from Theniet-El-Had National Park (North West of Algeria)
Authors: Naggar Oumeldjilali , Zedek Mohamed
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This work contributes to the study of the growth pattern of Atlas Cedar (characterized by dendrometric variables) relevant to the stands from Pepinière canton in relation to site factors (ecological and pedology descriptors).
 
Theoretical framework: A forest ecosystem is a complex set of external factors that have a positive or negative effect on tree growth. Species ecology is a key point in understanding their behavior in relation to environmental fluctuations.
 
Method: Forty-six temporary plots were set up to collect ecological, pedological, and dendrometric data, allowing for a characterization of the growth pattern of Atlas Cedar stands.
 
Results and conclusion: The study highlights the presence of an unmanaged irregular forest. Despite being located in an environment conducive to its growth, this forest is subject to degrading anthropogenic activity. Analysis of variance at a significance level of 95% shows that altitude and limestone content are the main site factors influencing Atlas Cedar growth.
 
Research implications: knowledge of the growth rate of this species allows better silvicultural operations, and application of more adequate management plans for this endemic protected species.
 
Originality/value: This study constitutes a reliable scientific tool for forest managers, particularly in national reforestation plans, which are doomed to failure due to a lack of knowledge of the behavior of the species used.

Authors: Yudiastuti Silvia Oktavia Nur , Handayani Wiwik , Sari Elok Kurnia Novita , Wijaya Rizza , Brilliantina Aulia , Slamet Ahmad Haris Hasanuddin
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This study aims to optimize the production of crystalline xylose from coffee cherry processing waste (CCPW) by investigating the influence of substrate concentration (SC), xylanase concentration (XC), and commercial xylose crystal concentration (CXC) on the process.
 
Theoretical Reference: The research utilizes Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to design experiments and analyze the effects of SC, XC, and CXC on crystalline xylose production.
 
Method: Experimental laboratory procedures were conducted with varying levels of SC (10-20%), XC (1-5%), and CXC (2-7%). Xylose production was carried out in fed-batch mode, with substrate feeding every 12 hours. Solvent volume was maintained at 250ml, with 60% added initially and the remaining 40% distributed incrementally during production.
 
Results: The study found significant effects of XC and SC on xylose production, while CXC showed no significant influence. The optimized conditions were determined with SC at 10%, XC at 5%, and CXC at 7%, resulting in a xylose content of 0.804 g/L and a desirability value of 0.632. The model's validity was confirmed with a validation accuracy of 98.99%.
 
Conclusion: The research demonstrates the effectiveness of RSM in optimizing crystalline xylose production from CCPW, highlighting the importance of XC and SC levels in the process.
 
Implications of Research: The optimized conditions identified in this study offer practical insights for enhancing xylose production efficiency from CCPW, potentially contributing to the development of functional food ingredients and process engineering applications.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the field by providing a systematic approach to maximizing xylose production from coffee cherry processing waste, offering valuable knowledge for both academia and industry.
Factors affecting the demographic situation in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District
Authors: AKINFEEVA Ekaterina V. , NIKONOVA Mariya A.
Published: April 2024

Subject. The article considers the multifactorial regression modeling and evaluation of indicators affecting the improvement of demographic situation in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District.
Objectives. The aim is to identify factors influencing the population growth in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District.
Methods. The study employs theoretical, descriptive, comparative, and statistical methods, demographic analysis, and multivariate regression modeling.
Results. We found that the demographic situation in the Central, Northwestern, Southern, North Caucasian, and Ural Federal Districts is generally stabilizing. The situation is extremely negative in the Volga, Siberian, and Far Eastern federal districts. The spatial regression modeling identified 13 out of 47 factors that affect the population growth of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The development of small business contributes to solving socio-economic problems and has a positive impact on living standards. The number of single-industry towns located in the said Federal District has a positive effect on population growth.
Conclusions. There is a decrease in the population in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The development of small and medium-sized businesses is good for demographic situation. This is confirmed by positive correlation of the number of small and medium-sized enterprises and their average number with the population of the region. The number of single-industry towns has a positive effect on population growth. Mining and processing enterprises have a negative environmental impact, however, they are not negative indicators that affect the deterioration of the demographic situation.

Anencephaly is a congenital malformation caused by neural tube failure, which can be managed through folic acid intake during pregnancy. Diagnosis is typically prenatal, and termination of pregnancy is often recommended. A newborn born at Kolwezi paediatric clinic was born with a visible congenital malformation. The mother had a low socio-economic background and was 41 years old. An ultrasound scan revealed a progressing pregnancy at 30 weeks gestation with polyhydramnios. No antenatal care monitoring or folic acid prophylaxis was implemented during the periconceptional period and throughout the pregnancy. Anencephaly diagnosis was confirmed, and the newborn died five minutes post-birth. Preventive folic acid treatment has shown a decrease in neural tube defects, and first-trimester ultrasound scans can help identify life-incompatible congenital malformations. Advocating for legislative measures and genetic counselling is crucial to educate parents on recurrence risks and the advantages of folic acid supplementation before subsequent pregnancies.

Medical laboratories must offer reliable services to the patient, and the way to guarantee this is by demonstrating their performance. External Quality Control (EQC) is a tool that helps the laboratories measure their performance, identify possible errors, and improve their activity. The aim of our research has been divided into three segments, which included the evaluation of the accuracy rate in pathogen identification, examining the unsatisfactory results, an investigating the identification methods utilized by the laboratories in Romania. As the analyses of pharyngeal exudate and urine are the most commonly requested in medical laboratories and also in External Quality Control, we have focused on the findings obtained from these programs.

Accessible tourism is not only a social right: it also represents an important economic sector for developed economies. In order to guarantee accessible tourism, the European Union has developed a legislation that will be analysed in this paper. The objective is to see if some countries from the south of Europe have done their homework in this area. To do so, an analysis of the state of play of accessible tourism will be done from a normative and legal perspective, using a qualitative methodology. This methodology will first use a documentary analysis of the legal framework of accessible tourism in the EU. Then we will make a comparative analysis on three countries from the south of Europe: Spain, Italy and Portugal. By doing so we will check whether those countries have really done their homework in this area.

The development of rural community tourism allows improving economic income at the family and community level. The objective was: To compare and analyze the development of rural tourism activities and their influence on the improvement of economic income for the families of the Quechua communities of the Capachica peninsula. The methodology applied was to record and systematize the activities to develop rural community‐based tourism, using strategies for the development of activities with an ecosystemic approach (social, economic and environmental). The results show the potential of natural areas such as beaches, viewpoints, handicrafts, and living cultures, all of which attract tourists. With the intervention of the project, 61.2% are engaged in tourism and 38.4% in handicrafts, for example, in the community of Llachón, the increase of tourists in three years was 194%. It is concluded that the Quechua families are entrepreneurs at the family level in rural tourism activities, which allowed them to improve their income.

Objetivo: Analisar a adesão aos tratamentos médicos dos pacientes portadores de HIV. Métodos: O artigo foi uma revisão integrativa à literatura com os descritores: Treatment, Adherence e HIV, tendo como resultado 288 artigos no Pubmed e 46 artigos no Scielo, utilizando filtros que selecionam artigos com menos de 5 anos de publicação, Meta-Analysis e Systematic Review. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 20 artigos foram selecionados para realização desta revisão integrativa à literatura. Resultados: A adesão a TARV em pessoas vivendo com o HIV tem relação direta com o acesso ao serviço de saúde, de modo que variáveis como renda, escolaridade, morar em ambiente rural, dificuldade de transporte, estigma social, comprometem o acesso e, consequentemente, reduzem a taxa de adesão. Além disso, variáveis psicológicas como maior resiliência e percepção menos ameaçadora da doença estão relacionadas a uma maior taxa de adesão. Conclusão: Conclui-se que existe uma necessidade de acesso à saúde aos pacientes em situação de vulnerabilidade social, para o combate às possíveis barreiras psicossociais enfrentadas pelas pessoas que vivem com o HIV com foco de alcançar uma adesão adequada ao tratamento.

Authors: Agumamidi Santhosh Reddy , Agrawal Payal
Published: April 2024

Axillary artery pseudoaneurysms are relatively rare, with few reported cases found in the literature. There have been high rates of rupture and compression-related complications in trauma-related pseudoaneurysms of the upper limb. Prompt diagnosis with non-invasive imaging modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography. Angiography is required for immediate intervention and prevention of complications. Here, we present a case of an extremely rare right-sided acute traumatic axillary artery pseudoaneurysm with compression, resulting in quadrangular space syndrome in a 31-year-old male patient. We performed a critical literature review of the same and identified only a few previously reported cases.
