Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that prolong standing can be the cause of foot pain and cause changes. Participants indicate foot pain due to heel spurs.
Structural Examination of Moral Injury and PTSD and Their Associations With Suicidal Behavior Among Combat Veterans
Authors: Battles Allison , Jinkerson Jeremy , Kelley Michelle , Mason Richard
Published: March 2022

Moral injury and post-traumatic stress disorder are argued to be distinct yet related constructs. However, few studies have evaluated the factors distinguishing moral injury from PTSD. The present study sought to extend the work of Bryan et al. (2018) by differentiating the symptomology of moral injury and PTSD and their associations with suicidal behaviors among combat veterans. The study evaluated data from 129 combat veterans exposed to potentially morally injurious events. Exploratory structural equation modeling evaluated a measurement and structural model. Results revealed a four-factor solution, with the relevant factors being PTSD symptoms, guilt/shame, psychiatric comorbidities, and meaning in life. Guilt/shame and psychiatric comorbidities had significant positive effects on suicidal behaviors. The present findings suggest that combat veterans have a complex, dimensional response to combat trauma and pMIE exposure. These results diverged from previous research to suggest that moral injury symptoms may not constitute a single factor but rather a multifaceted constellation of symptoms. The present study also provided evidence that moral injury symptoms are both unique and overlapping with PTSD symptoms. Suicidal behaviors are a major area of concern among veterans, and the findings here implicate guilt/shame and psychiatric comorbidities as related to these suicidal behaviors.
Sub/supercritical Fluid Chromatography for Chiral Compounds Analysis
Authors: Kalíková Květa , Folprechtová Denisa , Kadlecová Zuzana
Published: March 2022

Chirality is an essential feature of nature as it is common for many biologically active compounds. The different biological effects of individual enantiomers in a chiral environment are generally known. Therefore, there is a need for fast, efficient, and robust methods for their separation, quantification, and purification, too. The easiest way is to use chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases. Sub/supercritical fluid chromatography has become popular in the field of enantioselective separations in various scopes and, in some cases, has become a method of the first choice.
Therefore, this review article covers actual trends and possibilities of sub/supercritical fluid chromatography in enantioseparations. Ways to influence enantioselectivity of the separation system by column coupling, screening approaches, and processes of methodical development for fast and efficient analyses are discussed.
Sub/supercritical fluid chromatography under suitable experimental conditions provides fast and highly efficient separation of chiral compounds.
Multiresponsive Polymer Tracers for ¹⁹F MRI Based on Poly[N-(2,2-difluoroethyl) Acrylamide]
Authors: Kolouchová Kristýna , Groborz Ondřej
Published: March 2022

Polymers with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) are molecularly soluble in their solutions at low temperatures but, when heated above their cloud point temperature, these polymers assemble into supramolecular particles or macroscopic precipitates. These particles or precipitated polymeric depots can be used for diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, controlled drug release from a depot or a combination of diagnostics and therapy (theranostics). Herein, we describe smart polymer systems which contain N-(2,2-difluoroethyl)acrylamide monomer unit (DFEA) and form polymeric nanoparticles upon heating or precipitate after injection to polymeric implants/depots. Due to a high fluorine content and to relaxation properties of this element, these polymers are suitable as tracers for the 19F MRI method, a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool. Moreover, DFEA copolymers can contain monomers that react to additional physicochemical properties, resulting in multiresponsive polymers (pH- or redox-responsive), which can be used for smart drug delivery systems with controlled release of drugs in the target environment.
The Concept of Parallelism in the Lyrical Poems of Besarani (1641- 1702)
Authors: Qader Muhamad Anwar , Qader Abdulrahman Lhon
Published: March 2022

The following study is about “The Concept of Parallelism in the Lyrical Poems of Besarani (1641- 1702)”, who wrote his lyrics in the Kurdish dialect Gorani (Hawrami). Parallelism (GK alongside one another) - consists of phrases or sentences of similar construction and meaning placed side by side, balancing each other. (Cuddon 1979: 481) Parallelism alongside two other concepts; foregrounding and deviation are the foundations of contemporary stylistics. According to Literary Theorist, Yury Lotman, Parallelism is a binomial wherein one of its members is known through a second one that functions as an analogue in relation to the former. This second member is neither identical to the first nor separate from it. Additionally, a more complex case of parallelism occurs when both parts of the binomial mutually models each other, isolating in each something analogous to the other. The author attempts to show how the contemporary concept of structuralistic stylistics such as parallelism has been expressed through some of Besaranis’ lyrical poems.

Dot Blot Assay for Assessing Trehalose-6-phosphate Synthase Gene Expression in a Maize Breeding Population under Water Stress
Authors: Hannok Pattama , Lowantha Pischanan
Published: March 2022

Field maize is an important economic crop grown around the world and it has been mainly used in the animal feed industry. Maize yields have been inadequate for the demand due to drought events. One way to alleviate yield losses is to develop drought tolerant maize varieties for farmers. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) is an important enzyme involved in trehalose biosynthesis which has been found to increase plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. The aim of this research was to screen the levels of TPS gene expression in maize breeding materials under water stress via dot-blot hybridization using cDNA probe. To do so, 34 S2 maize families were grown and subjected to water stress condition. Leave samples were collected at 6 different days after planting (DAP) for a dot blot assay. The results showed that the level of TPS gene expression was highest at 4 days after stress (relative intensity at 64 DAP). However, dot blotting at 6 days after stress (relative intensity at 66 DAP) was effective to differentiate maize families. Furthermore, a moderate negative relationship between relative signal intensity at 66 DAP (RI66) and Smith index based on multi-phenotypic traits was found to be statistically significant. Our study showed that maize with high TPS gene expression tended to be less tolerant to water stress. It is noteworthy that the study of TPS gene expression in mature maize under stress in this study showed results that contrasted with previous reports on seedlings in many plant species. Furthermore, we found that 4 out of 34 S2 maize families may have potential for further use in our breeding program.

Learning methodology is very necessary in the learning process.  The success of a learning process also depends on the methodology, especially in learning Arabic. Many kinds of methods can be applied in teaching and learning activities, for example: lecture method, qawa'id wa al tarjamah method, preacher method, and so forth. Although there are many kinds of learning methods in learning Arabic, unfortunately there are still advantages and disadvantages of those methods.  As a result of these events, the eclectic method was born, which is a combined method/mixture of methods that already existed before. This method has a goal to be achieved, namely the purpose of several methods chosen and combined, so that language skills can be collected all in this method and teaching and learning activities can run efficiently and optimally. In language learning, there is no perfect method used for various learning purposes, because the methods that can be used still have advantages and disadvantages. However, these methods can be used properly and correctly according to the needs in the learning process, so that learning objectives can be achieved. The use of methods in the learning process is adjusted to the needs of a teacher in delivering information / material to his students.  So, the Arabic learning methods are chosen and used as needed, and they are not used as a whole.

The monitoring of metals and other chemical elements in the basic sources of diet, mainly for children, is very important for preventing health issues. The aim of this work was to determine the concentration of selected essential (Ca, K, Mg, Mo, Na, Zn) and non-mutagenic elements (Ag, Al, Ba, Li, Sb, Sr) in ewe milk from the Orava region in northern Slovakia. Twenty milk samples were analysed in June and August using an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The differences in elements concentration between the seasonal periods were not significant (p < 0.05), except for lithium (p < 0.05). The essential elements concentration was within the recommended levels, while the non-mutagenic and potentially toxic metals consist was under the permissible limits. However, there were found very strong and significant relationships between the elements which may suggest the synergistic / additive or antagonistic effects of some elements.

"The paper aims to develop and test a semi-quantitative method that generates scenarios for the zooplankton community development under salinity and nutrients fluctuations. First, we identified the relationships between the mesozooplankton component and the environmental factors by analyzing data (N=2566) collected within the warm season (May-September) of a decade (2008-2018). The biotic and abiotic parameters were investigated at 37 stations within the monitoring network of the Romanian Black Sea waters, covering all three marine reporting units (waters with variable salinity, coastal and marine) according to Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). We identified 32 mesozooplankton species belonging to ten taxonomic classes, copepods representing the bulk of the community. In waters with variable salinity and coastal waters, the fodder component of the mesozooplanktonic community was dominant, while in marine waters the nonfodder component was better and exclusively represented by Noctiluca scintillans. Physicochemical parameters that showed significant correlations with the mesozooplankton species were S (salinity) and nutrients - NO2- (nitrite), NO3-(nitrate), PO43-(phosphate) and NH4+(ammonium). The number of species significantly correlated with the physicochemical parameters showed variations generally correlated with the increasing salinity gradient: in waters with variable salinity nine species being correlated, in coastal waters ten species, and in marine waters five species. Key-Words: mesozooplankton, fodder, nonfodder, correlations, physicochemical "

"Living marine resources obviously contribute to the survival of humanity. Unfortunately, numerous studies highlighted that marine biological diversity faces various threats related to overfishing and illegal fishing, pollution (marine and terrestrial), invasive species, marine litter and climate change. In this context, the incidental catch of vulnerable species (i.e., elasmobranchs, marine mammals, seabirds) is considered one of the main threats to good environmental condition of the marine fauna.The aim of the study conducted in 2020, was to highlight the impact of fishing activities on aquatic resources, especially on vulnerable fish species as picked dogfish Squalus acanthias), thornback ray (Raja clavata) and common stingray (Dasyatis pastinaca), marine mammals and seabirds. The background information was collected by observations from scientific trawl surveys by pelagic and demersal trawl gears, observations from stationary fishing points, observations from commercial beam-trawl fishing operations. The analysis of logbooks of several economic operators and data collected by observers on board vessels, highlighted the low bycatch rate for vulnerable species in most fishing gear.

"Despite the continuous population growth and the need for high-quality food, the social acceptance or non-acceptance of aquaculture by the inhabitants of a particular region affects the development of the sector by modulating consumption and, implicitly, profitability of this activity. In the Mediterranean and Black Sea areas, there was a rapid expansion of aquaculture after the 1990s, but regulation from a legislative point of view was much slower than the development of the sector itself, at least in the Black Sea region. The process of selecting suitable locations, as well as the allocation of zones for aquaculture (AZA), are relatively recent issues promoted by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). Moreover, the social acceptability of aquaculture and, implicitly, of the resulting products (shellfish and or finfish) also concerns the issues related to food safety and public health risks all the more so. In this respect, the major problem that prevented both the cultivation and harvesting of bivalves from the natural environment in Romania was the lack of a microbiological classification of Black Sea waters, as required by Regulation (EC) no. 627/2019 - an aspect finally settled in 2020 by the initial classification of all designated production and relaying areas of live bivalve mollusks - Chituc - Perișor, Mamaia Bay and Agigea - Mangalia - in class A. In this context, the attitudes and preferences of seafood consumption and the perception and acceptance of marine aquaculture in Romania were explored by developing and submitting a survey with 26 closed questions, with multiple choice answers. A total of 499 questionnaires were collected from a wide range of respondents all around the country, mainly focusing on the residents from the coastal area, but also from the rest of the country, including Bucharest. The results of the survey were analyzed and they indicate that, in Romania, despite the environmental and administrative-legislative drawbacks (the latter partially resolved through the microbiological classification) that have hindered, so far, the development of mariculture, there is potential for enhancing social acceptability of this activity. Most respondents were open to consuming aquaculture products, considering, in total, that shellfish aquaculture can bring multiple benefits from the economic, social and environmental point of view. Key-Words: mariculture, shellfish, social acceptability, public perception, food safety "

"The assessment of contaminants in biota is important, not only for biomonitoring of the marine pollution, but also in case of biota used for human consumption there are further implications with respect to public health reasons. Since data on this topic are rather limited in the Black Sea region, activities carried out in the framework of CBC Project “Assessing the vulnerability of the Black Sea marine ecosystem to human pressures” (ANEMONE) contributed at filling knowledge gaps identified for the region. Thus, new data on chemical contamination (heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls) of marine organisms (mussels, veined rapa whelk, pelagic and demersal fish), collected in 2019 during specific pilot studies in the selected study areas (open sea, and coastal – in front of river mouths, hot-spots) from Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey were obtained. The HELCOM integrated hazardous substances assessment tool (CHASE) developed by NIVA Denmark was tested in the Black Sea with contaminants in biota data set and the overall scores evinced sub-regional differences in the status results, with worse status predominating in the north-western part of the Black Sea (rivers influenced coastal areas and hotspots) and better status in the open sea area and in the southern part of the Black Sea. Across the investigated biota samples, the CHASE test assessment showed a range of status results from bad to high, almost half (46%) of biota samples being „unaffected by hazardous substances” state (good and high status), whereas the remaining 54 % of biota samples are „affected by hazardous substances” state (bad, poor and moderate).

"Macroalgal cultures, a new domain for the Romanian Black Sea coast, provide interesting information on the intermediate stages of development and reproduction of algae, and also raw algal material with exploitable potential in most of diverse fields (industrial, cosmetic, pharmaceutical). Porphyra and Pyropia species are considered the world most valuable mariculture algal products. The aim of the paper was to present the comparative aspects regarding the chemical composition (heavy metals, lipids and organic contaminants, respectively, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls) of the specimens obtained in laboratory culture with those collected from the natural environment. The analyzed biological material consisted of P. leucosticta tissue harvested from both laboratory culture and natural environment. After 5 months of experimental culture, the obtained wet biomass was 44.23 g, while the lyophilization dried biomass was 4.94 g. In the specimens obtained through reproductive elements manipulation, under laboratory-controlled conditions, 7 organic compounds were detected, which represent a much smaller number compared with the 20 compounds detected in specimens collected from natural environment. Meanwhile, the presence of all chlorinated organic pollutants was identified in the algal material collected from natural environment. Also, the lipids content was higher in cultured organisms. Heavy metal concentrations (20.72 - 31.91 µg/g d.w. Cu; 0.01-0.21 µg/g d.w. Cd; 12.14-18.69 µg/g d.w. Ni; 0.01-9.56 µg/g d.w.

Exports can generally be carried out by medium-sized businesses for strategies to compete in international markets. exports can provide foreign exchange earnings for the agency of origin of the goods or commodities. The problem in this research is that it is not known which PT exports of goods is better than other PT. This research process uses a decision support system to determine which exporting company is more profitable for the agency, which is better in terms of points, the number of days the goods arrive (20%), the weight of the goods (20%), packaging (25%), method (15%), type of goods (20%). The purpose of this study is to determine the best export of goods using a decision support system using the SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) method. In this case, Data collection techniques used in this case are library research, observation. and using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to assist in making decisions to determine which export of goods from PT is the best
EFFECT OF HABITUAL USE OF GUTKHA ON HUMAN BEING - AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: S Tambe , M Chatrbhuji , R Jadav
Published: March 2022

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) in their edition of Tobacco Alert gives red alert to the developing countries from Tobacco and Gutkha. Diseases like submucosal fibrosis, cancers of the throat, mouth, lips, and oesophagus were found in Gutkha chewers. Although modern science researcher was found to be worked on the subject related to Gutkha. But as a whole, in combination as present in Gutkha no one really focus on their actions in human beings in Ayurvedic manner i.e., Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Agni, Strotasa, Indriya, Avayava, Mana, Bala etc. By seeing its adverse effects, it is essential to know its action on Doshadi factors. Materials & Methods- The available information about Gutkha and Ayurvedic information about the constitutes of Gutkha is collected. For the case study Gutkha chewing volunteers. Results- In sharirik laxanas Malavrodh and Malavshtambh are observed in most of the people. Some people cannot defecate easily without Gutkha. Tamraparni is the main content of the Gutkha. In different Ayurvedic texts it is mentioned that it acts as a Madak by Prabhav. So that we can also say that Purisha dushti laxanas like patient can not defecate easily without taking Gutkha was observed due to the effect of Tamraparni. In the Manas laxanas like Mansik Dorbalyata, Kshobha or Chidchidepana, Nairashya, Aswashtata are observed in most of the patients. Conclusion - Gutkha is a composition of Savish and Nirvish Dravyas. It acts as a slow Poison. It shows hazardous effects on human body. It causes Vata Vridhi, Pitta Virdhi and Kapha Kshaya. Gutkha disturbs the normal role of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala

Objectives: To evaluate the charges for pertrochanteric hip fracture care in Texas.
Design: Database review.
Setting: Texas Hospital Inpatient Public Use Data File (PUDF)
Intervention: Charges reported by hospitals to the Texas Department of State Health Services for pertrochanteric hip fractures.
Main outcome measurement: Charges associated with pertrochanteric hip fracture stratified by implant type and according to facility trauma level designation, urban versus rural, teaching versus non-teaching, and border versus inland status.
Results and conclusions: There were a total of 44,853 pertrochanteric hip fracture surgeries performed over the three-year period in the state of Texas. The vast majority were treated at urban (93.4%), inland (non-border) (92.3%), non-teaching (74.2%) facilities with intramedullary fixation (56.9%). A significant increase in charges was associated with treatment at an urban ($32,412), border ($44,919), or teaching ($10,501) facility. Mean inpatient charges at Level II facilities was $113,700. Further study is warranted to determine what drives the differences in charges associated with hip fracture treatment.
Level of Evidence: IV; Economic Database Analysis
Keywords: hip fracture, access to care, charge analysis, value-based care, Texas.

The selection of areas for case study research in socio-economic geography with the application of k-means clustering
Authors: Warchalska-Troll Agata , Warchalski Tomasz
Published: March 2022

The grouping techniques which are known in statistics are rarely used by geographers to select a research area. The aim of the paper is to examine the potential use of the k-means clustering (partitioning) method for the selection of spatial units (here: gminas, i.e. the lowest administrative units in Poland) for case studies in socio-economic geography. We explored this topic by solving a practical problem consisting in the optimal designation of gminas for in-depth research on the interaction between nature protection and local and regional development in the Polish Carpathians. Particular attention was devoted to defining an appropriate number of clusters by means of the elbow method as well as the pseudo-F statistic (the Calinski-Harabasz index). The data for the analysis were mostly provided by Statistics Poland and covered the period of 1999–2012. The multi-stage procedure resulted in the selection of the following gminas: Cisna, Lipinki, Ochotnica Dolna, Sękowa, Szczawnica and Zawoja. The example described in the paper demonstrates that the k-means technique, despite its certain deficiencies, may prove useful for creating classifications and typologies leading to the selection of case study sites, as it is relatively time-effective, intuitive and available in opensource software. At the same time, due to the complexity of the socio-economic characteristics of the areas, the application of this method in socio-economic geography may require support in terms of the interpretation of the results through the analysis of additional data sources and expert knowledge.

Reflections in Medical Education: Empathy, Emotions, and Possible Pedagogical Resources for the Emotional Education of Medical Students

Published: March 2022

Outcomes, guidelines, and clinical trials are at the forefront of the current medical training. However, we observe well-trained technological physicians with a reduced humanistic perspective which leads to attitudes that lack ethics and professionalism. There is a growing concern about the human dimension of the future physician and how it can be taught or reinforced in the educational environment allowing to integrate technical science with the humanism. Empathy could bridge the gap between patient-centered medicine and evidence-based medicine. Role modeling and caring carefully for the emotional dimension of medical students are possible resources for preventing the erosion of empathy. Humanities and arts help in building a humanistic perspective of doctoring because they enable doctors to understand patients in their whole context. The inclusion of humanities in the curriculum occasions deep rethinking of what it means to be sick and what it means to take care of the sick.
Ultrasound Based Elastography Techniques for the Evaluation of Nonalcoholic Liver Disease
Authors: Sporea Ioan , Lupușoru Raluca , Șirli Roxana
Published: March 2022

The number of NAFLD patients is increasing in the developed world and non-invasive modalities for their evaluation are needed. Ultrasound-based methods are very useful for this approach, starting with standard ultrasound used for steatosis detection, and continuing with new modalities for steatosis, fibrosis, and inflammation quantification. Modern ultrasound systems can quantify all these parameters in NAFLD patients, thus making ultrasound a real Multiparameter Ultrasound (MPUS). The performance of ultrasound-based methods is very well documented with liver stiffness assessment as a marker of fibrosis, and more recently, for quantification of steatosis and viscoelastic properties as a marker of inflammation.
