Initial documented rhythm as a predictor of survivalto-discharge rate after in-hospital cardiac arrest in a tertiary care referral institute, South India: an observational study
Authors: Ravipragasam Surendar , Chandar Deepika , Pandit Vinay R
Published: January 2020

Objective: Survival-to-discharge rates following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients remain significantly low. The use of initial documented cardiac rhythm as predictor of Survival-to-discharge is still unclear. This study aimed to assess whether the initial documented rhythm can be used as a predictor of survival-to-discharge following IHCA in an emergency department of the tertiary care referral institute, south India. Methods: This observational study was conducted for six months from January to June 2017 among all patients above 12 years, with witnessed cardiac arrest after arrival at the emergency department. After obtaining informed consent from the patients’ caregivers, data of socio-demographic details, previous relevant medical history, initial documented rhythm, neurologic status and survival-to-discharge were collected and analyzed. Results: The mean age of participants was 50 ± 17.15 years. Of the 252 study participants, 77.4% had non-shockable and 22.6% had shockable rhythm as initial documented rhythm. The overall survival-to-discharge rate was 17.5% (n=44) in our study. The overall proportion of participants who survived to discharge after IHCA was higher among participants with shockable rhythm (16/57, 28%) in comparison to participants with non-shockable rhythm (28/195, 14.3%). These differences were found to be statistically significant. Among the patients with shockable rhythm, 61.1% had good cerebral performance. Conclusion: Survival-to-discharge rates after IHCA can be predicted based on the initial documented cardiac rhythm. Early identification of patients with impending cardiac arrest and providing prompt management of patients with cardiac arrest will improve the survival rates significantly.

Background and Purpose:

Rate of force development (RFD) is influential, and possibly more influential than other muscular performance parameters, for mobility in older adults. However, only a few studies have investigated this matter, and this has not been examined for the plantar flexors (PFs). The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of PF RFD and other common tests of muscular performance to Up-and-Go (UG) performance and walking speed (WS) in older adults.

Methods:

Twenty-six (19 females) healthy, community-dwelling older adults (73.7 ± 4.9 years) were recruited from a senior citizen center for this observational study. Handgrip strength, UG performance, as well as preferred and maximal WS were obtained. Time taken to complete 5-chair rises and the number of chair rises completed in 30 seconds were recorded. Rate of force development of the PFs was obtained during a rapid, bilateral calf raise performed on a force plate. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to identify significant predictors, after adjusting for physical activity level and body mass index, of mobility (ie, UG, preferred and maximal WS).

Results and Discussion:

No muscular performance variables correlated with preferred WS. Rate of force development (adjusted R
2 = 0.356; P = .008) and handgrip strength (adjusted R
2 = 0.293; P = .026) were the only predictors of maximal WS and accounted for a 21.7% and 16.1% change in R
2, respectively, after accounting for physical activity level and body mass index. Rate of force development was the only predictor of UG performance (adjusted R
2 = 0.212; P = .006) and accounted for a 29.2% change in R
2 after adjustment variables were applied.

Conclusions:

Compared to common assessments of muscular performance, such as handgrip strength and chair rise performance, PF RFD was a greater predictor of mobility in older adults. These findings, in conjunction with recent reports, indicate that the assessment of RFD likely complements strength testing, thereby enabling a more robust assessment of functional decline in older adults.
Home-Based Exercise Prescription for Congestive Heart Failure

Published: January 2020

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an increasingly prevalent condition characterized by a reduced ability of the heart to circulate blood throughout the body. Although CHF is particularly prevalent among aging populations, evidence suggests physical training can improve exercise capacity, quality of life, and risk of mortality. Many individuals with CHF lack access to cardiac rehabilitation facilities, though, and therefore do not receive appropriate treatment. However, home-based rehabilitation programs may provide various advantages over clinic-based programs. This article will explain the pathophysiology and benefits of exercise in those with the condition, as well as provide recommendations for home-based training for individuals with CHF.
Influence of Metal Transfer Modes and Postweld Heat Treatment on Tensile Properties of Gas Metal Arc–Welded AA6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy Joints
Authors: Ramaswamy Addanki , Malarvizhi S. , Balasubramanian V.
Published: January 2020

The issues of dissolution or overaging of precipitates in the weld metal or heat-affected zone of aluminum alloy joints welded by conventional or constant-current gas metal arc welding (CC-GMAW) process are the key factors responsible for the formation of softening region, which leads to the degradation of the mechanical properties of the joint. In order to prevent the precipitate dissolution, a low heat input welding process is required. Further, to improve the mechanical properties of the welded joints, reprecipitation is necessary, and this can be achieved by postweld heat treatment (PWHT). The main aim of this investigation is to study the combined effect of metal transfer modes (i.e., CC-GMAW, pulsed-current gas metal arc welding [PC-GMAW], and cold metal transfer gas metal arc welding [CMT-GMAW]) and heat treatment on the tensile properties of gas metal arc–welded AA6061 aluminum alloy joints. This investigation effectively implements the low heat input GMAW variants like PC-GMAW and CMT-GMAW to control the dissolution of precipitates. Moreover, PWHT procedure (solutionizing at 530°C for 1 h, followed by quenching in water and then artificial aging at 170°C for 19 h, and finally cooling in air at an ambient temperature) was imposed on the specimens in order to recover the mechanical properties of the welded joints. It is observed from the tensile properties that PWHT joints exhibited improved mechanical properties compared with the as-welded joints. But the joint welded by CC-GMAW process has shown no improvement in the tensile properties because of the segregation of alloying elements that are observed along the grain boundary. The PWHT CMT-GMAW joint showed huge improvement in tensile properties (i.e., 13 % higher than the CC-GMAW joint and 9 % higher than the PC-GMAW joint) because of the controlled segregation of alloying elements with nucleation of β″ precipitates.

Evidências relacionadas à pesca entre populações sambaquianas e da cultura taquara-itararé na Baía da Babitonga são muito antigas, pode-se dizer que desde a sua primeira publicação, no século XIX, há menção aos vestígios relacionados à esta prática, já que estes sítios são constituídos majoritariamente por restos de animais obtidos por técnicas de pesca. Somente a partir dos anos de 1990 estudos sistemáticos voltados para os restos faunísticos e com base na Zooarqueologia começam a ser feitos, permitindo avançar no aspecto qualitativo e quantitativos. Estes estudos permitiram conhecer melhor o papel do peixe em relação aos outros recursos marinhos, as preferências entre as espécies capturadas, as inferências sobre os ambientes frequentados e os petrechos utilizados e as relações de práticas pesqueiras entre estas diferentes culturas. Pode-se dizer que foi este viés que dominou os estudos até recentemente quando pesquisa com foco em populações atuais de pescadores artesanais foi desenvolvida tendo em vista compreender melhor as práticas antigas assim como contribuir nas ações de conservação da fauna marinha. Em suma, o presente estudo traz uma síntese sobre os dados disponíveis sobre a pesca na pré-história da Baía da Babitonga afim de obter subsídios para a brilhante iniciativa de criação de uma rede colaborativa de estudos sobre o tema.
 
Abstract: Evidence related to fishing between sambaquian populations and taquara-itararé culture in Babitonga Bay is very old, it can be said that since its first publication in the nineteenth century, there is mention of the traces related to this practice, since these sites are consisting mainly of animal remains obtained by fishing techniques. Only from the 1990s onwards, systematic studies focusing on faunal remains and based on zooarcheology began to be made, allowing the qualitative and quantitative progress to be made. These studies made it possible to better understand the role of fish in relation to other marine resources, the preferences between the species caught, the inferences about the environments frequented and the equipment used as well as the relationships of fishing practices between these different cultures. It can be said that it was this bias that can contribute to the brilliant initiative of creating a collaborative network of studies on the subject as well as to base conservation studies on the marine fauna of Babitonga Bay.

Published: January 2020

A soja atualmente se apresenta como uma das principais commodities do agronegócio mundial, no Brasil tornou-se nas últimas décadas uma importante fonte de renda e desenvolvimento. Neste contexto, a utilização de sementes de alta qualidade exerce influência pontual no potencial produtivo dos campos, assim justificando a utilização de sementes prêmio. No presente estudo objetivou-se avaliar a viabilidade técnica e os fatores que influenciam a produção de sementes prêmio. Foram avaliados dados de cinco licenciados ao longo de três safras, utilizou-se como parâmetro de avaliação as variáveis germinação e vigor por envelhecimento acelerado. Notou-se na qualidade e volume de produção de sementes prêmio elevada variação ao longo do período de estudo, entretanto notou-se que o volume e qualidade de um dos licenciados estudados se apresentou estável durante o período. Tal fato pode ser justificado pela qualidade de seu processo de produção, em especial sua capacidade de secagem. Concluiu-se que a produção de sementes prêmio é influenciada por fatores ambientais e a capacidade de secagem de sementes, muito embora o efeito ambiental seja significativo, ajustes no processo de produção podem minimizar o referido efeito.
El cuerpo, el amor y el pecado en la sombra de Dios
Authors: Coimbra de Matos Ana Catarina
Published: January 2020

Inmersa en una época influenciada por la corriente filosófica del existencialismo, la obra de Saramago entra en un diálogo irónico y descarado con el lector de una sociedad que se aleja de la iglesia, porque siente que Dios todopoderoso cohíbe al hombre de una elección libre  por el miedo del castigo. En Memorial del Convento, se destaca el sufrimiento a través del castigo injusto y cruel de la Santa Inquisición, compuesta por hombres tan pecaminosos o más que otros, provocando la interrogación en el lector sobre su relación con un (im)posible divino. La narración demuestra la naturaleza humana corruptible, inseparable del pecado de la carne, y el absurdo de un dios que crea al hombre con un cuerpo pecaminoso. Se evidencia un dios que castiga el amor verdadero cuando este debería ser el protagonista de la religión cristiana.)
Modified Reverse Salam Product as an Innovative alternative for mobilizing fixed deposits in Jurisdictions with Limited Shariah Compliant Investment Avenues to Promote Financial Inclusion
Authors: Muneeza Aishath
Published: January 2020

Financial inclusion is a mian concern of the contemperory global financial landscape. It is a universal concern that needs adequate and effective solutions. Islamic financial arean is no exception to this. With the fintech solutions available in the market today, innovative ways to provide financial inclusion is needed. However, the most critical challenge in the arena is caused due to limited availability of shariah compliant investment avenues in some of the jurisdictions of the world where Islamic banking and finance has not yet fully taken-off. The main objective of this research is to introduce a universally accepted mechanism using salam, one of the most least used Islamic finance contract in commercial Islamic banking for mobilising fixed deposits which will be ideal to be used in jurisdictions with limited shariah compliant avenues. This is a legal exploratory research that aims to provide an adequate and effective product for the jurisdictions that aspires to have sophisticated fixed return guranteed investment products structured in a shariah compliant manner. Simultaneously, the proposed product in this research will serve the less previlaged community of the society whose commodities can be used as underlying asset in structuring the product. However, this social impact of the product will differ depending on the jurisdiction in which it is applied and the decision of the financial institution in which the product is offered as it is there discretionary power to choose the underlying commodity used in the transaction. Fintech can also be fused with the suggested product and as such, the product can be easily used by the population in physically remote locations in a convenient manner. It is anticipated that this research will assist the jurisdictions in the  world with limited shariah compliant investment products to introduce a new product that will be adequate to fulfill the needs of the customers.

This research is proposed to measure financial inclusion index in 2 dimensions (2D-FII) in Indonesia Islamic banks. This research contributes on the measurement 2D-FII in regional level in Indonesia. The result shows that value of FII in Islamic banking in Indonesia is still low. Previous works show one of the determinant on increasing inequality in any country is a limited access to financial sector, especially for low income household (Akimov, Wijeweera, and Dollery 2006; Kenourgios and Samitas 2007; Levine 2003; D. Park and Shin 2015).  In other words, low level of FII in Indonesia perhaps is caused by inequality of income. Therefore, this research recommends policymaker to have more concern on poverty alleviation program and open new Islamic banks branches in the regional level.
SOCIETY, LAW AND ECONOMY; REINTERPRETING AND CONTEXTUALIZING PHILOSOPHICAL THEORIES OF IBNU KHALDUN
Authors: Muslimin Jm
Published: January 2020

Economics and the law are the two inseparable things. There is always a relationship between the two. These two things can influence the development of people's welfare. This writing explores that during his life (1332-1406 AD), Ibnu Khaldun spent almost his whole time to read, learn and produce a distinctive work regarding socio-historical development of the existing government and community, as well as the type of local entity. Moreover, for some researchers, the role of Ibnu Khaldun in paving the way for creating foundations of sociological study can’t be neglected. According to him, the role of law in economic activity in general can be seen from two sides, in two equal interests, namely: a. Law is seen from the dimensions of economic activity; and b. Law is seen from the dimension of the state over its authority. Departing from the economic goals, in fact to obtain the maximum profit, the law is merely seen as a useful external factor and can be utilized to secure the economic activities and objectives to be achieved. The research proves that the essence of Ibnu Khaldun’s thought is still relevant to the modern time. Departing from his ideas and comparing them to the western and modern ones, one may conclude that Ibnu Khaldun’s philosophical analyses could be reinterpreted and contextualized. If it is so, then his theories are more identical to Stiglitz than to Smith and Marx.

Improvement of sow reproductive performance is a key factor determining the efficiency of the pig production cycle and profitability of pork production. This article presents the solution of an important scientific and practical problem of individual forecasting of sow reproduction . The population used for the present study is from a pig farm managed by the Limited Liability Company (LLC) ‘Tavriys’kisvyni’ located in Skadovsky district (Kherson region, Ukraine). The experimental materials used for this study consisted of 100 inds. of productive parent sows of the Large White breed.The litter size traits – the total number of piglets born (TNB), number of piglets born alive (NBA) and number of weaned piglets (NW) – were monitored in the first eight parities over an eleven year period (2007–2017). The method of the forecasting of sow litter size is developed based on the non-linear canonical model of the random sequence of a litter size change. The proposed method allows us to take maximum account of stochastic peculiarities of sow reproductive performance and does not impose any restrictions on the random sequence of a litter size change (linearity, stationarity, Markov property, monotony, etc.). The block diagram of the algorithm presented in this work reflects the peculiarities of calculation of the parameters of a predictive model. The expression for the calculation of an extrapolation error allows us to estimate the necessary volume of a priori and a posteriori information for achieving the required quality of solving the forecasting problem. The results of the numerical experiment confirmed the high accuracy of the proposed method of forecasting of sow reproduction. The method offered by us almost doubles the accuracy of forecasting of sow litter size compared to the use of the Wiener and Kalman methods. Thus, average forecast error decreases across the range of features TNB (1.71), NBA (1.68) and NW (1.25 piglets). Apparently, this may reflect a higher level of manifestation of the genetically determined level of individual sow fertility at the moment of piglet weaning. The higher adequacy of the developed mathematical model with regard to NW can be also due to the fact that the relations between sow litter size in different farrowings primarily have a non-linear character, which is taken into maximum account in our offered model. Given non-linearity, on the other hand, turns out to be a significant factor determining a lower estimation of the repeatability value for NW compared to the estimations for TNB and NBA. The use of the developed method will help to improve the efficiency of pig farming.
Patterns of mercury accumulation in the organs of bank vole Myodes glareolus (Rodentia, Cricetidae)
Authors: Gremyachikh V. A. , Kvasov D. A. , Ivanova E. S.
Published: January 2020

Mercury (Hg) and its compounds are among the most hazardous environmental pollutants with a high cumulative potential and they can have toxic effects on human and animal health even in low concentrations. Due to the increasing rate of human economic activity and the increase in the amount of Hg in the total cycling of matter, the study of its distribution, transformation, redistribution and accumulation in the abiotic and biotic components of various ecosystems remains important up to the present time. We assessed the content of metal in organs and tissues of the bank vole Myodes (Clethrionomys) glareolus Schreber, 1780 (Rodentia, Cricetidae), a widespread small rodent, caught in different biotopes of forest-steppe and steppe zones of Voronezh region. Measurements of Hg in samples were carried out with a mercury analyzer RA-915+ with the accessory PYRO (Lumex) using the atomic absorption method of cold steam without preliminary sample preparation (the lower limit of mercury detection in samples was 0.001 mg/kg). The sample size was 344 specimens. Mean Hg concentrations ranged from values below the analytical determination threshold to 0.887 mg/kg dry weight in the kidneys, 0.411 in the liver, 0.031 in the muscle tissue, and 0.040 in the brain. A positive correlation was found between the metal content in all possible pairs of organs (except for the “muscle – brain” pair) and a weak negative correlation was found between the Hg level and the mass of the animals. Hg concentrations in the studied organs did not differ between males and females. The metal content in the liver and kidneys of voles from the forest-steppe zone was significantly higher than in those from the steppe zone. Among all studied biotopes (meadow, pine and mixed forest, shrub thickets), the lowest concentrations were observed in animals living in pine forests, while the highest one – in more humidified bush thickets. During the vegetation season, there was a decrease in the average values of animal body mass in the samples and an increase in the content of Hg in the liver and kidneys. The results of the study are relevant in the assessment of atmospheric mercury pollution of terrestrial ecosystems using small mammals, such as Myodes glareolus, as a model object.

Published: January 2020

The study of morpho-ecological organization of oribatid mite communities (Acariformes, Oribatida) inhabiting forest litter of recultivated areas in steppe zone conditions of Ukraine was performed. The role of the forest and forest floor litter in optimization of the ecological situation on degraded lands was demonstrated. The function of environment creation by oribatids, as primary destructors of dead plant matter, supporting such ecosystem services as soil fertility improvement and nutrients turnover was highlighted. The research was performed within different stratigraphic types of bulk edaphotops in the recultivated plot of “Pavlogradskaya” colliery (Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukraine) planted with red juniper (Juniperus virginiana L.). Withdrawal and collection of mites was performed with thermoeclector. For determination of the domination structure in the mite communities, the Engelmann scale was used. Adaptive (morpho-ecological) groups of oribatid mites were diagnosed by Krivolutsky. It was established that the number of species of oribatid mites in the forest litter of the studied red juniper plantation varied from 16 to 25. Average density of oribatid mites varied from 4,720 to 25,327 ind./m2. Among such morpho-ecological groups as soil surface inhabitants, small soil pore inhabitants, deep soil forms, floor litter inhabitants and unspecified forms, identified in the coniferous litter, the share of unspecified forms increased from loess-like loam type (21% of total amount) to Calcic Chernozem types with different stratigraphy (41.0%, 70.0% and 70.4% accordingly). Deep soil forms in the forest floor litter of the studied red juniper plots were not identified for any of recultivation types. The obtained results expand our understanding of the role of oribatid mites in the processes of ecological rehabilitation of disturbed ecosystems in the conditions of modern nature management.
Ecological and physiological peculiarities of bryophytes on a post-technogenic salinized territory
Authors: Lobachevska O. V. , Kyyak N. Y. , Rabyk I. V.
Published: January 2020

Taxonomic, biomorphological and ecological structures of bryophytes, their reproductive strategy and the main mechanisms of tolerance in the conditions of salinization were investigated. Bryophytes are the pioneers that have colonized the territory of a tailing storage that holds liquid waste from potassium-magnesium concentrate production of the Mining and Chemical Enterprise "Polymineral". Due to excess salts, the soil solution in the shore area of the tailing pond acquires high osmotic pressure. Three experimental plots which differed significantly in the level of the substrate salinity were laid at the distance of 3, 6 and 9 m from the reservoir for experimental studies. Water extracts of the substrates from the test sites showed the highest concentrations for sulfates – 10.4–64.6 mg Eq/100 g of soil and chlorides – 7.6–43.3 mg Eq/100 g of soil. It was established that the investigated areas of the tailing storage territory differed in the biochemical activity of the substrate, which was evaluated by its redox potential. On the areas of the uncovered substrate it was the lowest – 230 mV, which indicates anaerobiosis in conditions of very high salinization and moisture. Higher ROP values were determined at the sites of bryophyte cover distribution – 295–330 mV. The aim of the study was to determine the features of taxonomic, biomorphological and ecological structures of bryophytes, their reproductive strategy and to establish the main mechanisms of adaptation to the conditions of salinization on the tailing storage territory. 24 species and 3 varieties of bryophytes, belonging to 12 families and 16 genera were found on the shore of the tailing storage pond. The results of biomorphological and ecological analysis of bryophytes indicate the uneven conditions of the habitats and their considerable ecological plasticity. Among the bryophytes, mesophytes, xeromesophytes and meso-eutrophs, eutrophs with a life-form of low dense and loose turf dominated. In salinization conditions, dioicous acrocarpous mosses prevailed, the fertile turf of which, depending on the influence of abiotic factors, differed significantly in the number of sexual shoots, their ratio and productivity. Bulbils were found only on the tips of Bryum argenteum shoots. Along with Salicornia europaea L., a euhalophyte, the leading role in the initial stage of overgrowth of the tailing storage area most often belonged to Didymodon rigidulus, Bryum argenteum, Funaria hygrometrica and Barbula unguiculata. The process of formation of bryophyte cover occurred along a gradient of decrease in salt concentration at the experimental sites. Adaptation of bryophytes to substrate salinity is due to a change in metabolic processes, which is manifested in an increase of the total content of carbohydrates and an increase of the cation exchange capacity of moss cell walls, which is the primary barrier that reduces the toxic effect of ions under salt stress.

Molotchnaia Department of the Russian Emperor Society of Fruit Growing
Authors: Cherkazianova Irina
Published: January 2020

The article studies the history of the foundation and the first years of activity of the Molochnaia Department (1904 – 1919) of the “Emperor Russian Society of Fruit Growing” (ERSFG). It was founded in the Mennonite colonies of the Black Sea region. The society extended its activity to Berdyansk and Melitopol districts of Tavrida gubernia. The author pays special attention to P. P. Vibe`s activity, who was the head of the Department.

Industrial gardening began its developing in Russia after the abolition of serfdom and it was one of the forms of the former landlord farms modernization. It required special knowledge, special organization of farmkeeping, maintenance of gardens and nurseries assortment. It was considered as a prospective branch of agriculture development.

Molochnaia department was set up to develop and spread industrial fruit growing among the colonists. Despite the fruit growing had a long tradition in the southern colonies, it had been focused on personal needs of local farms before. The attempts to introduce some new forms of management can be considered as one of the ways to intensify agriculture and expand its structure. Gardening could also solve the problem of landlessness. Despite it required less land space than crops growing gardening was a reliable source of income.

The Molochnaia Department became one of the most important subdivisions of ERSFG that took active part in the exhibition activities and held local exhibitions of fruit and trees for educational purposes. It offered study program for the population where the students could learn modern agrotechniques. They also published important informative articles in local newspapers. To develop its own gardens and nurseries the Department relied on the assistance of ERSFG and Zemstvos.

At the period of First World War the Molochnaia Department was actively involved into army and hospitals supplying. However, anty-German legislation prevented its activities. They had to close the nursery and give up educational programs. The Department stopped its activity during the Civil War.
Nagorno-Karabakh: to the problems of Armenian and Azerbaijani historiography
Authors: Arkhireyskyi D. V. , Ivashkina O. B.
Published: January 2020

Some aspects of the confrontation between Armenian and Azerbaijani historians in the assessments of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are highlighted. The roots of this conflict should be sought in the events of the early twentieth century related to the mutual pogroms and murders of the Armenian-Christian and Turkic-Muslim population of the Transcaucasian territories of the Russian Empire. The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict had its continuation during the events of 1917−1920, as well as at the end of the existence of the Soviet Union. It was during the Russian revolution that the first war broke out between Armenians and Azerbaijanis for the Nagorno-Karabakh. The war became a national affair of both nations, as they took part in it as regular and paramilitary units. With the collapse of the Soviet Union the conflict not only escalated but also turned back into war. Under current conditions this conflict has acquired geopolitical significance. All these events have become a stumbling block for Armenian and Azerbaijani historians.

The uprising in Zvenigorodka district in the summer of 1918 is one of the largest armed uprisings against the power of hetman P. Skoropadskiy`s Ukrainian State. The purpose of the study is to describe the events associated with its culminating stage, the seizure of Zvenigorodka district center by the rebels, and to establish the sequence and dates of those events on the basis of witnesses’ evidence and the uprising participants.

The uprising arose on June 3–5, 1918, in several villages of the area around Zvenigorodka. On June 7, detachments from these villages surrounded Zvenyhorodka and they began to attack it the following day. The city was defended by German military units and Hetmanate`s enforcement forces (about 600 people in total). The rebels were approximately 15000 people according to their command estimation. On June 9, the German garrison capitulated and the rebels completely captured the city. Their leaders expected that the seizure of Zvenigorodka (that was a large settlement and one of the county centers) would provoke unrest in other parts of Ukraine and it would be the beginning of a great uprising against the hetman. When it became clear that this would not happen and that in Zvenigorodka local population was against the rebel, the leaders decided to abandon their further struggle. On June 10 and 11, the rebels  left the city. In the morning of June 12, German troops occupied Zvenigorodka again.

Milk and dairy products are the oldest and most widely consumed nutritious foods worldwide. They are highlighted as a source of high-quality proteins and the most important sources of bioactive peptides. Milk proteins have high nutritive value and remarkable medicinal properties. They are known as potential health-promoting ingredients of functional foods, and the dairy industry has already commercialized many milk proteins and peptide-based products which can be consumed as part of a regular daily diet. Besides, cheese is highly susceptible to contamination by pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, which results in a decrease in its shelf life and cause serious risks to
the consumers’ health. Nowadays, the food industry is continuously becoming more specialized towards meeting consumer needs and demands. Consumers demand safe products, which are also preferably free of synthetic additives. Therefrom to the need to search for natural additives has emerged. Botanicals and their extracts came to an interest
as a natural alternative for cheese preservation and quality enhancer. Some substances have demonstrated good effects against most pathogens of
cheese such as Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. Nevertheless, it is not quite clear do the botanical addition affect cheese quality characteristics. This review aims to present the effect of added botanicals such as medicinal plants, herbs, spices and essential oils to cheeses in the function of protection against pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, as well as for their influence on the cheese quality.

This article examines the role and function of imagination and parasocial(fiction-based) relations among autistic individuals. In interviews,seventeen high functioning, autistic young adults describe how theyfrequently absorb into daydreams, fantasy literature and multiplayeronline roleplaying games. These findings diverge from previous cognitiveresearch which suggests that imagination is limited in autisticindividuals; a conclusion which is also challenged by scholars incritical autism research. It is suggested that these opposed scholarlyviews can be bridged analytically and methodologically by separatinginterpersonal and intrapersonal imagination, of which only the former,social aspect is affected across the whole autism spectrum. Theresults indicate that parasocial relations are used both for pleasure andto cope with adversities, and that imaginary realms serve as optimalautistic spaces for simulating and practicing social interaction. Thearticle moreover provides a comparative discussion on parasocial andsupernatural relations.
