Bonding and Bridging: Perceptions of Social Capital in Community Music
Authors: Bucura Elizabeth
Published: March 2023

This case study explores four participants’ experiences with community music (CM) workshops in Austria intended for the university, community, and growing immigrant and refugee populations. The Austrian government encourages cultural integration, potentially furthered through musical activities. Social capital theory, specifically of bonding and bridging, as well as democratic rights of inclusion, enhancement, and participation frame this inquiry. The purpose of this study was to investigate participants’ perceptions of bonding or bridging capital in CM workshops. Research questions included, (a) What are participants’ experiences of bonding or bridging? (b) What are their perceptions and experiences of inclusion, enhancement, or participation? and (c) What role might music play in fostering relationships among diverse participants? Data were collected primarily through interviews and observations and analyzed by coding transcripts for themes that were then compared across participants and with relevant literature. Data suggest community-building activities and purposeful collaborations might create capital, yet bridging capital depends on a confluence of circumstances, including empathetic leadership and activity structures that take virtual needs into account. Implications include the capacity for those with social capital to become bridging people.
A systematic review of fMRI studies of healthy adult human brain activation on learning and memory patterns for numerals
Authors: Istal Zani Izmir Armani , Abd Hamid Aini Ismafairus , Senik Mohd Harizal
Published: March 2023

This systematic review examines the empirical evidence from previous fMRI studies on brain activation areas for learning and memory patterns for numerals to understand the question of the brain activation areas found from previous fMRI studies on learning and memory patterns for numerals. Relevant articles in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, paediatrics, and education were extracted from the PubMed database. Keyword searches included "learning", "memory", "brain", "digits", "numerals", and "fMRI". The database search was conducted from July 2022 to August 2022. The data collected was limited to English texts, and studies involving animal experiments were excluded. The remaining articles were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles included in this review were selected from the database search between 1999 to 2022. Ten full-text articles were identified and evaluated. Examination of brain activation regions in learning and memory patterns for numerals revealed that 30% of studies (n=3) found activation in the hippocampus, inferior parietal lobe and parietal lobe. Subsequently, 20% of the studies (n=2) found activation in the anterior cingulate, caudate nucleus, cerebellum, frontal lobe, inferior frontal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, medial temporal lobe, occipital lobe, prefrontal cortex, striatum, and thalamus. The frontoparietal network is considered important for working memory, while the limbic areas are essential for learning and memory. Therefore, future studies should look more closely at the brain's functional and structural regions involved in learning and a more specific memory system.
Facemask Use During Graded Exercise Testing in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Minimal Concern
Authors: Hoehing Kellie N. , Murrell Kadeeja S. , Fitzpatrick Rowan A. , Keteyian Steven J. , Zuhl Micah N. , Nelson Rachael K.
Published: March 2023

Background

Graded exercise testing (GXT) is a fundamental component of the diagnosis/treatment of patients with suspected/known cardiovascular disease (CVD). Amid the current pandemic, patients must wear a facemask during GXTs, yet the impact of facemask use on peak values from a GXT has not been evaluated in individuals at increased risk of developing CVD. The objective is to examine potential differences in peak values obtained from a GXT performed under facemask versus no facemask conditions among adults at increased risk for CVD.

Methods

Using a randomized, crossover study design, 16 adults at moderate risk for developing CVD completed 2 trials (facemask versus no facemask). Peak speed, grade, heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion were recorded during a Modified Bruce Treadmill GXT for each trial. Peak speed and grade were used to estimate peak oxygen consumption (Vo2peak) and peak metabolic equivalents of task (Vo2peak/3.5).

Results

Total exercise time (17:10 ± 2:04 versus 15:58 ± 1:51 minutes, P = 0.0005), peak HR (170 ± 11 versus 164 ± 11 b·min−1, P = 0.01), estimated Vo2peak (42.3 ± 8.9 versus 36.8 ± 6.6 mL·kg−1·min−1, P = 0.005), and peak metabolic equivalents of task (12.2 ± 2.6 versus 10.5 ± 1.9, P = 0.005) were higher during the no facemask versus the facemask trial. Peak rating of perceived exertion was similar between trials (18.1 ± 1.3 versus 18.3 ± 1.2, P = 0.84).

Conclusion

Facemask use had a significant but modest clinical impact on hemodynamic responses during a GXT among moderate risk adults.

Introduction: Reduced processing speed is a core deficit in major depressive disorder (MDD) and has been linked to altered structural brain network connectivity. Ample evidence highlights the involvement of genetic-immunological processes in MDD. Here, we extended these findings by examining associations between polygenic scores for tumor necrosis factor-α blood levels (TNF-α PGS), structural brain connectivity, and processing speed in a large sample of MDD patients. Methods: Processing speed of N=1402 acutely depressed or (partially) remitted patients and healthy controls (HC) was estimated based on five neuropsychological tests. Network-based statistic was used to identify a brain network associated with processing speed. We employed general linear models to examine the association between TNF-α PGS and processing speed. A mediation analysis was performed to investigate whether network connectivity mediates the association between TNF-α PGS and processing speed. Results: We identified a structural network positively associated with processing speed in the whole sample. We observed a significant negative association between TNF-α PGS and processing speed in acutely depressed patients, whereas no association was found in (partially) remitted patients and HC. The mediation analysis revealed that brain connectivity partially mediated the association between TNF-α PGS and processing speed in acute MDD.Discussion: The present study provides evidence that TNF-α PGS is associated with decreased processing speed exclusively in patients with acute depression. This association was partially mediated by structural brain connectivity. Using multimodal data, the current findings advance our understanding of cognitive dysfunction in MDD and highlight the involvement of genetic-immunological processes in its pathomechanisms.

Differential expression of RRM2 in colorectal cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2, RRM2, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. RRM2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of RRM2 in rectal tumors was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with rectal cancer. RRM2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

Studying effective color transformations for predicting change in soil state
Authors: Hamed Riwiz
Published: March 2023

In order to increase agricultural output, forecast floods and droughts, comprehend Earth's weather and climate, and other things, it can be helpful to research soil moisture, which is the quantity of water stored between soil particles. The topsoil's moisture content is influenced by both current meteorological conditions, such as rainfall, and land surface features, such as soil texture. According to several earlier research, land surface factors mostly influence small-scale soil moisture patterns, or those that range between 3 and 30 metres. The key factor affecting large-scale patterns, which can range in size from 1.5 kilometres to hundreds of kilometres, is the weather. We turn to colorspaces as a means to study minute changes in soil particles based on their earlier studies showing how impactful they can be in image classification and adversarial defenses. Our early results have been very promising, seeing an improvement in performance by 3.4% when using LAB color space over traditional RGB color space. This shows the promise in the general direction that the potential of color spaces possess.

Expressions of moral disgust reflect both disgust and anger
Authors: van der Eijk Frances , Columbus Simon
Published: March 2023

People often appear to conflate anger and disgust, seemingly using expressions of both emotions interchangeably in response to moral violations. Yet, anger and moral disgust differ in their antecedents and consequences. These empirical observations are associated with two broad theoretical perspectives: one describes expressions of moral disgust as metaphors for anger, whereas the other describes moral disgust as functionally distinct from anger. Both accounts have received empirical support from separate and seemingly inconsistent literatures. The present study seeks to resolve this inconsistency by focusing on the different ways moral emotions have been measured. We formalise three theoretical models of moral emotions: one in which expressions of disgust are purely associated with anger (but not physiological disgust), one in which disgust and anger are fully separated and have distinct functions, and an integrative model that accommodates both metaphorical use in language and distinctive function. We test these models on responses to moral violations (three studies; N = 1006). Our results suggest that moral disgust is rooted in pathogen disgust and has distinct functions, but expressions of moral disgust are sometimes used to convey moralistic anger. These findings have implications for the theoretical status and measurement of moral emotions.
Corporate Social Responsibility Practices in Selected Nepalese Companies
Authors: Shrestha R. K. , Rai B.
Published: March 2023

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business system through which the production and distribution of wealth are allocated for the betterment of its stakeholders. It includes the economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic domains. It impacts society environmentally, socially, and economically. The paper aims to assess the practices of CSR in selected Nepalese companies and identify the disclosure of CSR activities. Nepal Telecom [NT], Ncell, Chaudhary Group [CG], and Standard Chartered Bank [SCB] are selected companies in this study. Data were collected through relevant documentary scrutiny and evidence such as annual reports and websites and review of previous research studies. The study is based on the qualitative method. Data analysis was used on a thematic basis. Convenience sampling was used. On the one hand, both NT and Ncell make their contribution on their communicating service; on the other hand, all of the sample companies focus their spending on education, health, environmental protection, natural calamities, and sports. Ncell has made a substantial contribution to protecting COVID-19. CG’s various CSR programs are not just for accomplishing the regulatory requirement, it aims to be part of the overall development and bring sustainable social reform. CG has livelihood as well as heritage and spiritual development programs which also should remain under CSR practices for the economic development of the country. The companies have disclosed relatively more philanthropic and ethical information and the least economic information. In this study, the economic domain of CSR is dominant. The economic domain of CSR includes the production of goods and services to earn profits. This is followed by a legal, philanthropic and ethical domain. This study helps the policymaker, business organizations, researchers, and learners to improve knowledge and ideas about CSR.

Published: March 2023

Relevance. The problem of healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) is becoming increasingly important in epidemiological, social and economic terms. The most serious threat to hospital patients is multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The purpose of the study was to determine the etiological structure and sensitivity to antimicrobial agents of infectious agents associated with the provision of medical care in a children's multidisciplinary hospital. Materials and methods. The strains used in the work were obtained from patients aged from one to 15 years with severe infectious diseases. Additionally, swabs were taken from environmental objects. Bacteriological identification of selected strains was performed using standardized bacteriological algorithms and MALDI-TOF direct protein profiling of non-spore-forming microorganisms. Results. P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae were identified as the main causative agents of HAI with multiple resistance to AMPs in the children's multidisciplinary hospital, the source of which was mainly the respiratory tract. Multiple resistance to AMP was higher in K. pneumoniae, 38.9% of the studied isolates showed resistance to four drugs simultaneously. P. aeruginosa in 23.1% of cases was resistant to one AMP, in 15.4% - to two, four and seven AMPs. Conclusion. For a reasonable choice and optimization of antibacterial treatment of hospital patients, it is necessary to take into account the fact of wide circulation of hospital strains. Systematic monitoring of the constantly changing microbiological landscape of hospitals based on microbiological monitoring data and determining the levels of resistance to antimicrobial chemotherapy drugs will help reduce the risk and prevent the development of infections associated with healthcare.

Relevance. The incidence of the novel coronavirus infection is on the rise worldwide. To effectively combat COVID-19, both vaccination and control of the circulation of SARS-CoV-2 strains among the population and, especially, foreign citizens arriving in Russia from around the world are necessary. Aim. To determine the frequency of detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in foreign medical students vaccinated against COVID-19 with various vaccine preparations. Materials and methods. Foreign students (510 people) of a medical university aged 18-25 years, vaccinated against COVID-19, who arrived in Russia during June-August 2021, were examined. The determination of SARS-CoV-2 RNA was carried out weekly from December 2021 to January 2022 by taking smears from the oropharynx and examining them using a test-PCR systems manufactured by the Federal State Budgetary Institution of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor «AmplisensCov-Bat-FL» (registration certificate No. RZN 2014/1987 dated 07.04.2020). Results. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in 41 (8.0% [95% CI 5.6÷10.4]) of 510 international students surveyed. Among those vaccinated with vector vaccines based on human adenovirus (Sputnik V, Sputnik Light, Ad26. COV2.S (Johnson&Johnson)) SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in 27 (7.6% [95% CI 4.8÷10.4]) a person, mainly after 4–6 months. after vaccination; vaccines based on modified mRNA (BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech), mRNA1273 (Moderna)) – 5.7% [95% CI 1.1÷10.3] people within six months after vaccination. The infectious process was asymptomatic in 39 people, in two (vaccinated with the BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer / BioNTech) and Sputnik Light) it had clinical manifestations of severe and moderate severity. Conclusion. Among foreign students vaccinated against COVID-19, in addition to two cases, asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 have been identified, which may be a potential source of infection. This indicates the need for vaccination and timely revaccination of foreign and Russian students, as well as compliance with the anti-epidemic regime.

Ikonična slika Naste Rojc Autoportret u lovačkom odijelu iz 1912. je više puta u poslednje dve decenije bila proglašavana za njen „životni manifesto“ od strane istraživača/ica. Autorke i autori su naglašavali njene performativne, rodno fluidne autoportrete, i povlačili veze između drugih isto tako retkih umetnica tog vremena koje su izražavale ne-heteronormativne identitete kroz umetnost. Prema mojim saznanjima, sem Leonide Kovač, niko od njih do sada nije primenio metode studija vizuelne kulture u analizi ove slike. Vizuelna kultura može da ponudi nove interpretacije i dopuni rodne i feminističke diskusije kroz razmatranje popularne slike lovaca tog vremena. Ova saznanja mogu samo da potvrde uverenje da je ova slika snažan i transgresivan umetnički statement u kontekstu hrvatske umetnosti i umetnosti jugoslovenskog prostora u celini početkom 20. veka.
Dorsal medullary cavernous hemangioma presenting as obstinate hiccups and its surgical treatment: illustrative case
Authors: Puppala Sumirini , Acharya Abhijit , Dash Atmaranjan , Choudhury Surjyaprakash S.
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Hiccups are characterized by involuntary, intermittent, repetitive, myoclonic, and spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm. Hiccups are termed “intractable” when they last for over 1 month.

OBSERVATIONS

A rare case of intractable hiccups due to an uncommon location of cavernous hemangioma in the dorsal medulla is illustrated. With respect to the management, surgical excision was performed, and postsurgical complete recovery was witnessed, which has been reported only in six cases worldwide to date.

LESSONS

A mechanism of the hiccups reflex arc is discussed in detail with special reference to the need for equal emphasis on evaluating central nervous system causes and peripheral etiologies for pertinent hiccups.
Robotics planning in minimally invasive surgery for adult degenerative scoliosis: illustrative case
Authors: Pennington Zach , Brown Nolan J. , Quadri Saif , Pishva Seyedamirhossein , Kuo Cathleen C. , Pham Martin H.
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Minimally invasive surgical techniques are changing the landscape in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, enabling surgical correction to be achievable in increasingly medically complex patients. Spinal robotics are one technology that have helped facilitate this. Here the authors present an illustrative case of the utility of robotics planning workflow for minimally invasive correction of ASD.

OBSERVATIONS

A 60-year-old female presented with persistent and debilitating low back and leg pain limiting her function and quality of life. Standing scoliosis radiographs demonstrated adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS), with a lumbar scoliosis of 53°, a pelvic incidence–lumbar lordosis mismatch of 44°, and pelvic tilt of 39°. Robotics planning software was utilized for preoperative planning of the multiple rod and 4-point pelvic fixation in the posterior construct.

LESSONS

To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report detailing the use of spinal robotics for complex 11-level minimally invasive correction of ADS. Although additional experiences adapting spinal robotics to complex spinal deformities are necessary, the present case represents a proof-of-concept demonstrating the feasibility of applying this technology to minimally invasive correction of ASD.
Over Time and Space: Hybrid Rangeland Governance in Amdo Tibet
Authors: Tsering (Huadancairang) Palden
Published: March 2023

Hybrid land governance, mosaics, polycentrism have become ways to describe contemporary rangeland settings - ways of responding to uncertainties through flexible institutions, overlapping boundaries and an assembled, plural bricolage of practices. However, this is frequently thought to be recent, often arising from more formal, regulated systems, whether state, private or communal, and with well-defined land tenure regimes. This paper argues that hybridity (in various forms) has always been present in Amdo Tibet, despite the political changes over time and space. Hybridity is a necessary response to uncertainty and central to the utilisation of variable resources, which is the core strategy of pastoralism. Yet the form of hybridity varies as it must be constructed in particular historical circumstances, constrained by political economic conditions between the feudal, collectivist, liberalised eras. Today's hybridity - and so contemporary rangeland use and management strategies - must be understood in this historical context, as an accretion of practices and strategies that have emerged over different eras.

Authors: wei ting , zhao zhongxi , zhao ya
Published: March 2023

Ondansetron has been widely applied as an antiemetic drug in the treatment or prevention of nausea and vomiting caused by emetic cancer chemotherapy . Fast-release films have the advantages of rapid drug release and improved patients’compliance, especially for the disabled bedridden, the elderly or pediatric patients.The basic film-forming materials were studied through single factor tests and the crystal inhibitors were optimized using solid dispersion technique. The ratio of drug and polymers were optimized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) which revealed there was no presence of crystal in the optimized solid dispersion. The final film was white thin films and was smooth in surface without obvious bubbles or cracks. Mean weight of each film was 40~50mg. Mean thichness was 60~70μm. Surface pH was 6.4~6.6. The films could release 85% of drug with 1.5min in 0.1mol/L HCl and within 30min in pH6.8PBS. Pharmacolinetic experiment of Ondansetron Hydrochloric solution, marketed films Zuplenz® and the preparation were carried out in rats. As a result, the films of Ondansetron Hydrochloric containing ondansetron solid dispersion had the advantages of fast drug release, improved patient compliance, higher bioavalibility compared to oral solution and the marketed films.
QMH (Quantifying Mental Health) Key Technologies
Authors: Ternyik Stephen I. , Fermelia Al
Published: March 2023

In order to understand the chaotic nature of mental health, a forensic simulation of the mental health system is under development. This paper discusses the requirements and key technologies based on Ontological Engineering. Ontological engineering is expected to provide a foundation of so-called Content-Directed Artificial Intelligence which relies on the development of an _integrated World Knowledge DataBase _(_WKDB)_ necessary for the understanding of mental health. Artifical Intelligence is based on the design of it's creator/s and as such unknowingly “bias creep” can easily be imbedded into the design of its WKDB[1].

Mental health techniques are required in order to develop a mitigation plan for the alleviation fo pain which is of both mental as well as physical. This paper address the requirements for the mitigation of mental pain. Specifically anxiety and depression are the most common problems, with around 1 in 10 people affected at any one time. What is the cause of mental health problems problems and what is it's affect? Anxiety and depression can be severe and long-lasting and have a big impact on people's ability to get on with life. Predictions of beliefs and thoughts (good and bad) are brain outputs due to the measured vision, hearing inputs, and autonomic activation of one's residual WKDB.

Currently our QMH Forensic Simulator yields potential target pharmaceutical parameters which could be used in the design of experimental medication for mental health patients. Additional medical producals could then be designed for use in future mental health clinical trials.

This study intends to determine the legal protection of copyright as licenses for broadcast copyrighted world cup works. Specifically, this study investigates the legal protection criteria for licenses registered with the Directorate General for Intellectual Property Rights. In addition, it attempts to examine instances of court decisions relating to copyright licensing issues. This study employs normative research and literature in accordance with a statutory methodology. As described in Article 83, paragraph 1, of the Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014, copyright certainty is established if the copyright has been registered with the Directorate General for Intellectual Property Rights. In order for the license agreement to have legal repercussions for third parties, it must be registered, but in practice it cannot be executed because there are no penalties for third parties that break the license. Similarly, in the instance of copyright infringement, the Judicial Review decision No. 43 PK/Pdt.Sus-HKI/2017 is one of them. FIFA recognized PT Inter Sports Marketing as the exclusive licensee for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, as the company had registered. Due to violations by a Semarang hotel, the verdict did not reflect the losses sustained. It seemed as though the registration had been in vain since it lacked sufficient legal clarity.Keywords: Copyright; License; Legal Protection; World Cup.
Expansion of Diversion Regulations in the Trial of Children in Conflict with the Law
Authors: Setyawan Vincentius Patria , Kristianti Anastasia Priska
Published: March 2023

Diversion is a sort of alternative dispute resolution that diverts child cases away from the conventional legal system and toward more informal means of conflict settlement. Children who are threatened with incarceration for a term of less than seven (seven) years and who have not committed a crime may be eligible for a diversion mediation process under Article 7 paragraph (2) of Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. This process may be applied to cases in which the child is not guilty of a crime. The structure for diverting cases that is included in the Supreme Court Regulation represents an expansion of the legal meaning. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court Regulation in this instance needs to be in compliance with the provisions of the law that is already in place. In this study, a qualitative research method was combined with an approach based on literature and legislation. According to the findings of the study, developments regarding diversion regulations are contained in Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2014 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Diversion in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. As a result, this supreme court regulation permits diversion in terms of criminal acts that are punishable by imprisonment of 7 years or more in the form of a subsidiary.Keywords: Diversion; Juvenile criminal justice system; Hierarchy
Bizans’ta Hacılık, Hac Merkezi ve Kutsal Tedavi: Alahan Manastırı Üzerine Yeni Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: GAZİOĞLU Hüseyin Hakan
Published: March 2023

Hıristiyan hacılığı dördüncü yüzyılda Bizans imparatorluğunun desteğiyle ortaya çıkmış ve kısa sürede imparatorluk boyunca her bölge ve sosyal kökenden Hıristiyanları kutsal topraklara çekmiştir. Bu gelişme aynı zamanda Hıristiyanlığın, Pagan kült ve inançlara karşı kendini varoluşunu temellendirmesi bağlamında yerel kültlerin Hıristiyanlaştırılması ve Hıristiyan kutsal peyzajının oluşturulmasında kritik bir rol oynamıştır. Hıristiyan hacılığı eski inanç ve ritüellerin Hıristiyan konsepti içerisinde yeniden şekillendiği, dini öneminin yanında politik, ekonomik ve sosyal bir fenomen olarak işaretlenir. Bu açıdan yerel ve bölgesel hac merkezlerinin ortaya çıkması, bu merkezlerin dini önemini gösteren ve hacı ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması için çeşitli mimari kuruluş ve tesislerin yapılmasını beraberinde getirmiştir. Hac merkezleri çoğu durumda manastır bünyesinde kurulmuş ya da sonradan kutsal merkezler etrafına manastırlar kurulmuştur. Erken Bizans dönemine ilişkin bu merkezlerden biri antik Claudiopolis’te bulunan Alahan yerleşimidir. Literatürde Alahan Manastırı olarak geçen yerleşim, araştırmacılar arasında Bizans mimari varlığına ilişkin oldukça tartışmalı konulardan biridir. Alahan’ın bir hac merkezi ya da manastır olup olmadığı hala belirsizdir. Bu açıdan makalede Hıristiyan hacılığı genel özellikleriyle tanıtılmış, hac merkezlerinin oluşumunda rol oynayan faktörler incelenmiş ve Alahan yerleşimi, mimari kuruluşları arasındaki mekân-işlev ilişkisi ve hacı hareketi bağlamında yeniden tanımlanmaya çalışılmıştır.

Recent findings indicate that the COVID-19 outbreak is associated with high distress levels. The present study reports the development and psychometric evaluation of the COVID-19 Distress Scale, a fourteen-item self-report measure assessing anxiety, threat perception, and hopelessness related to COVID-19. In Study 1, 626 individuals completed the COVID-19 Distress Scale and established measures of mental health. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a three-factor structure, consisting of anxiety, threat perception, and hopelessness regarding COVID-19. The COVID-19 Distress Scale was internally consistent, had test-retest reliability, concurrent, divergent, and predictive validity. In Study 2, 548 participants completed the COVID-19 Distress Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-factor structure of the scale. These results suggest that the COVID-19 Distress Scale is a robust and multidimensional measure for assessing COVID-19 related distress.

Published: March 2023

Relevance. Goat milk is a valuable product in human nutrition. However, the diversity of biologically active compounds in its composition is subject to the influence of a variety of factors, including seasonal climatic changes.

Materials and methods. Analysis of the biochemical parameters of goat milk was performed using the MilkoScan 7/Fossomatic 7 DC analytical system (Denmark) and MilkoScan 7, a spectrophotometer based on Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out in the «Microsoft Excel» program using the Data Analysis package. The significance of differences between seasons was assessed using the critical values of Student's t-test.

Research results. Significant differences were established between True Protein in June 3.06 ± 0.07% (p ≥ 0.01), August 3.17 ± 0.12% (p ≥ 0.05) relative to October 4.37 ± 0.15%. Total Protein in April 2.92 ± 0.05% (p ≥ 0.01), June 3.28 ± 0.06% (p ≥ 0.001), August 3.37 ± 0.11% (p ≥ 0.01) relative to October 4.44 ± 0.14%. SOMO in April 8.17 ± 0.10% (p ≥ 0.05), June 8.42 ± 0.10% (p ≥ 0.001), August 8.39 ± 0.16% (p ≥ 0.001) relative to October 9.75 ± 0.14%. Caseins in April 2.21 ± 0.06% (p ≥ 0.01), June 2.51 ± 0.06% (p ≥ 0.001), August 2.56 ± 0.09% (p ≥ 0.001) relative to October 3.55 ± 0.12%. Seasonal changes most often occur in the composition of milk proteins: the mass fraction of true and total protein, caseins.
Changes in individual diagnostic markers of carbohydrate, lipid and mineral metabolism in dairy cows due to feeding
Authors: Krupin E. O. , Shakirov Sh. K.
Published: March 2023

Relevance. Any changes in the functional processes in the body of cows are reflected in the biochemical parameters of their blood. In highly productive animals, the energy costs in the postpartum period for the formation of lactation are not covered by the volume of feed consumed. The lack of energy is compensated by the internal reserves of the body, which causes the catabolic nature of metabolism. The consequence of a violation of protein, carbohydrate-fat and vitamin-mineral metabolism in general is a change in the hormonal status of the body, which negatively affects the reproductive function and leads to a decrease in milk productivity.

Methods. The formation of animal groups and methodological techniques for setting scientific and economic experience were performed according to A. Ovsyannikov. The diets, the composition of the premix and the tested feed additive are designed using the program «Optima expert» («Cormersurs», Russia) the needs of milking cows in nutrient and biologically active substances were determined by A. Kalashnikov, V. Fisinin, V. Shcheglov and others. In the blood serum, the content, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, general calcium, and the unorganic focoria on the semi-automatic biochemical analyzer with the BS-3000M cuvette were determined. The results were processed biometrically, the reliability of the differences was evaluated by the Students t-criterion.

Results. The maximum increase in the concentration of glucose in the blood was observed in cows of the third group (7.93%) (p < 0.05), cholesterol – in cows of the second group (24.43%). The content of triglycerides in animals of the control group decreased by 25.00% (p < 0.05). The level of calcium in the blood serum of animals was a tendency to increase. The most pronounced increase was observed in individuals of the third group. In animals of experimental groups, the level of fosphor inorganic decreased.

Relevance. Recently, a promising alternative to antibiotics has become a wide range of feed additives of different composition and different origin, the action of which is aimed at improving the safety of livestock, increasing live weight gain, feed conversion and the quality of the products obtained. One of such feed additives is «Reasil® Humic Health» based on humic acids.

Methods. The production experience was carried out on the basis of the poultry farm of LLC «Vremya-91». To conduct production experience on broiler chickens of 21-day-old «Cobb 500» cross, according to the principle of analogues, 2 groups of poultry were formed: control and experimental, with 18,000 heads each. The bird of the control group received the main diet. Broiler chickens of the experimental group, in addition to the main diet, received the feed additive «Reasil® Humic Health» in a concentration of humic acid salts of 2 g/kg of feed.

Results. The addition of a humic biologically active feed additive to the diet at a dose of 2 g/kg of feed makes it possible to increase the live weight of broilers by 9.5%, the safety of livestock by 2% and average daily gains by 21%.
