A Biossíntese e a psicologia na reabilitação física: Possibilidades do trabalho corporal em um Centro de Reabilitação Infantil / Biosynthesis and psychology in physical rehabilitation: Possibilities of body work in a Child Rehabilitation Center
Authors: Valente Fernanda Pinheiro Rebouças , Alexandre Dulcinéia Pires Azevedo
Published: October 2023

Este artigo nasceu da prática. O trabalho da psicologia clínica dentro de um Centro de Reabilitação Infantil, com crianças com lesão medular congênita, em especial, Mielomeningocele, trouxe várias questões em relação a como psicóloga corporal poderia contribuir para a compreensão e intervenção dentro desse contexto. Junto a isso, percebeu-se que a psicologia corporal, em grande medida, se direciona mais para o estudo do corpo típico ou para o corpo lesionado durante o curso da vida, pouco se falava sobre as intervenções dentro do contexto das deficiências congênitas. Logo, esse artigo se propôs a juntar os conceitos da psicologia corporal e da ludoterapia com características próprias do processo de reabilitação, sendo uma amostra do caminho percorrido para compreender e intervir neste contexto.Palavras chave: Deficiência congênita; Psicologia Corporal; Reabilitação.Abstract: This article was born out of practice. The work of clinical psychology within a Child Rehabilitation Center, with children with congenital spinal cord injury, in particular Myelomeningocele, raised several questions regarding how a body psychologist could contribute to the understanding and intervention within this context. Along with this, it was noticed that body psychology, to a large extent, is directed more towards the study of the typical body or the injured body during the course of life, little was said about interventions within the context of congenital disabilities. Therefore, this article proposed to join the concepts of body psychology and play therapy with characteristics of the rehabilitation process, being a sample of the path taken to understand and intervene in this context. Keywords: Congenital disability; Body Psychology; Rehabilitation
Clínicas sociais corporalistas no Brasil: a construção de novos dispositivos clínicos / Corporalist social clinics in Brazil: The construction of new clinical devices

Published: October 2023

O Congresso Internacional de Psicanálise de Budapeste, em 1918, sinalizou mudanças direcionadas a atender demandas de pacientes que não pudessem pagar pelos custos dos atendimentos (DANTO, 2005). Entende-se que tal proposta tenha dado início ao processo de construção das Clinicas Sociais tal como existem atualmente. Esse e outros movimentos da Psicanálise são vistos como fruto de tensionamentos a serem analisados a partir de perspectiva dialética, como forma de buscar considerar as contradições a elas inerentes. Ressalta-se suas implicações políticas, bem como de suas derivações inclinadas às psicoterapias corporais, uma vez que se percebe as clínicas como espaços de poder social (FOUCAULT, 1979). As Clínicas Sociais são entendidas como geradoras de ferramentas e linguagens próprias (BROIDE, 2006) e consideradas para fins desse estudo como fenômeno manifesto desse fio histórico. Consta, então, como objetivo essencial desse estudo analisar aspectos inerentes as práticas das clínicas públicas, percebendo-as enquanto derivadas das clínicas públicas freudianas.  Acredita-se que esse tipo de reflexão constitui-se, conforme perspectiva de Broide (2005), como importante auxílio para entendimento, resgate e apropriação de caminhos históricos, propondo-se a sustentar diferenças e alteridades através do conhecimento psi enquanto suporte de encontros e formas diferentes de estar no mundo.Palavras-chave: Clínica Social; Psicanálise; Psicoterapias corporais. Abstract: The International Congress of Psychoanalysis in Budapest, in 1918, signaled changes aimed at meeting the demands of patients who could not pay for the costs of care (DANTO, 2005). It is understood that this proposal has started the process of building the Social Clinics as they currently exist. This and other movements in Psychoanalysis are seen as the result of tensions to be analyzed from a dialectical perspective, as a way of seeking to consider the contradictions inherent to them. Its political implications are highlighted, as well as its derivations inclined to body psychotherapies, since clinics are perceived as spaces of social power (FOUCAULT, 1979). The Social Clinics are understood as generators of their own tools and languages (BROIDE, 2006) and considered for the purposes of this study as a manifest phenomenon of this historical thread. Therefore, the essential objective of this study is to analyze aspects inherent to the practices of public clinics, perceiving them as derived from Freudian public clinics. It is believed that this type of reflection constitutes, according to the perspective of Broide (2005), as an important aid for understanding, rescuing and appropriating historical paths, proposing to sustain differences and otherness through psi knowledge as a support for encounters and different ways of being in the world Keywords: Social Clinic; Psychoanalysis; body psychotherapies.
Correlations Between Relative Prevalence of Celiac Disease and Sociodemographic Variables in the United States
Authors: Zylberberg Haley M. , Miller Erin B.P. , Ratner Amy , Hammill Bradley G. , Mehta Pooja , Alesci Salvatore , Lebwohl Benjamin
Published: October 2023

INTRODUCTION:

We evaluated the associations between celiac disease (CD) prevalence and regional sociodemographic variables in the United States.

METHODS:

The outcome was CD relative prevalence, defined as number of patients with CD among those in a Medicare registry per 3-digit ZIP code. Linear regression models assessed associations between relative prevalence of CD and sociodemographic variables.

RESULTS:

CD relative prevalence was positively correlated with median income, urban area, and proximity to a CD specialty center and negatively correlated with Black race, Latino/Hispanic ethnicity, and median social deprivation index score (P < 0.01, all).

DISCUSSION:

CD relative prevalence is associated with indicators of economic advantage.
Stable isotope values (δ
13C, δ
15N) of macroalgal communities at Loch Creran and its relevance for elucidating sources of macroalgal organic carbon in fjordic sedimentary systems
Authors: Bebb Alexander , Hawkins Imogen , Gwynne-Jones Richard , Helmore Ruth , Witte Ursula
Published: October 2023

Here, macroalgal isotopic values from Loch Creran, Western Scotland, were documented to determine the suitability of paired stable isotope analysis for identifying macroalgal-derived organic carbon sources in a fjordic sea loch. Variability in isotopic values (δ
13C and δ
15N) was evident within individual thalli of fucoid and kelp species, at the replicate level and between sampling localities. There were few consistent phylogenetic correlates in the isotopic values of macroalgae. The δ
13C ranges did, however, provide insight into differentiating between carbon sources more broadly, such as terrestrial from marine and between macrophyte lineages. As such, δ
13C could be indicative of the presence of macroalgal carbon sources within pools of organic matter but will likely be ineffective at separating these sources to lower taxonomic levels. Consequently, if these data are used alone to discriminate between macroalgal carbon sources and their relative contribution to a sedimentary pool of organic matter, the development of accurate conclusions will be challenging. The findings presented here demonstrate the need for complementary techniques or multi-tracer approaches to aid in the differentiation between macroalgal carbon sources to lower taxonomic levels rather than relying on stable isotopes as a biomarker alone.

Sufficient criteria are established to guarantee our interest and to prove some interaction between such a model of an operator matrix and its diagonal operator entries.
The effectiveness of the
proposed new technique is shown by a physical example of an integro differential equation

Enoch’s Green Apocalypse: The Source Material of Aronofsky’s Noah
Authors: Waddell Robby
Published: October 2023

A cataclysmic event, often spelling disaster for the environment, is an essential element to the backstory of any post-apocalyptic tale. In these stories, the presupposed ecological tragedy may have severely altered the environment, but it has not annihilated it. In fact, what has happened is that the apocalyptic catastrophe has neutralized the ecological threats that were the original catalysts for the devastation in the first place, resulting in an opportunity for the environment to rebound once its abusers have faced judgment. In other words, Earth may get beaten black-and-blue, yet the final effect is a green apocalypse—an event that rids Earth of its destructive inhabitants or at least counterbalances their negative effects, giving the global ecosystem a chance to renew. In this article I offer readings of two apocalyptic stories—1 Enoch and Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. My approach to these stories utilizes elements from a method of ecological hermeneutics that has been developed by Norman Habel and others from the Earth Bible team. The Noahic flood story is one of the earliest examples of a “green” apocalypse, in which the penultimate event may have been devastation on the planet, but the ultimate end was a renewal of Earth. It is my hope that these ecological readings with their attention to the concept of a green apocalypse may be useful in appreciating the possibility of eco-friendly interpretations of apocalyptic texts.
Traveling wave solutions of the generalized scale-invariant analog of the KdV equation by tanh–coth method
Authors: González-Gaxiola Oswaldo , Ruiz de Chávez Juan
Published: October 2023

In this work, the generalized scale-invariant analog of the Korteweg–de Vries equation is studied. For the first time, the tanh–coth methodology is used to find traveling wave solutions for this nonlinear equation. The considered generalized equation is a connection between the well-known Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation and the recently investigated scale-invariant of the dependent variable (SIdV) equation. The obtained results show many families of solutions for the model, indicating that this equation also shares bell-shaped solutions with KdV and SIdV, as previously documented by other researchers. Finally, by executing the symbolic computation, we demonstrate that the used technique is a valuable and effective mathematical tool that can be used to solve problems that arise in the cross-disciplinary nonlinear sciences.

The joint application of traditional and integrative medicine in patient care has recently become more well-known and widespread with the aim to achieve the best possible recovery. The importance of hydrotherapy and balneotherapy as a forms of complementary and alternative medicine providing remedy for various ailments and conditions was already known in ancient times and several treatments were developed that can be classified into this category. As a part of modern medicine, these medical treatments continue to be widely used for their positive effects in the treatment of various diseases. In addition, the environmental parameters of spas are also significant, as it may serve as a kind of psychological impulse having an impact on the healing process of patients. Patient satisfaction can influence clinical outcomes, therefore, a close examining of this aspect may prove a potent factor in the assessment and evaluation of the success of physicians and hospitals. The knowledge of healthcare professionals as to the subjective experiences of patients and their levels of satisfaction with care is often limited, that is why it would be of great importance to conduct more intense research in this direction. An institution is more likely to provide successful services if the patients' expectations are recognized and taken into consideration at the beginning of treatment.
Hyperexcitability in the Olfactory Bulb and Impaired Fine Odor Discrimination in theFmr1KO Mouse Model of Fragile X Syndrome
Authors: Kuruppath Praveen , Xue Lin , Pouille Frederic , Jones Shelly T. , Schoppa Nathan E.
Published: October 2023

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the single most common monogenetic cause of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in humans. FXS is caused by loss of expression of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an mRNA-binding protein encoded on the X chromosome involved in suppressing protein translation. Sensory processing deficits have been a major focus of studies of FXS in both humans and rodent models of FXS, but olfactory deficits remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted experiments in wild-type (WT) andFmr1knock-out (KO;Fmr1-/y) mice (males) that lack expression of the gene encoding FMRP to assess olfactory circuit and behavioral abnormalities. In patch-clamp recordings conducted in slices of the olfactory bulb, output mitral cells (MCs) inFmr1KO mice displayed greatly enhanced excitation under baseline conditions, as evidenced by a much higher rate of occurrence of spontaneous network-level events known as long-lasting depolarizations (LLDs). The higher probability of spontaneous LLDs (sLLDs), which appeared to be because of a decrease in GABAergic synaptic inhibition in glomeruli leading to more feedforward excitation, caused a reduction in the reliability of stimulation-evoked responses in MCs. In addition, in a go/no-go operant discrimination paradigm, we found thatFmr1KO mice displayed impaired discrimination of odors in difficult tasks that involved odor mixtures but not altered discrimination of monomolecular odors. We suggest that theFmr1KO-induced reduction in MC response reliability is one plausible mechanism for the impaired fine odor discrimination.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTFragile X syndrome (FXS) in humans is associated with a range of debilitating deficits including aberrant sensory processing. One sensory system that has received comparatively little attention in studies in animal models of FXS is olfaction. Here, we report the first comprehensive physiological analysis of circuit defects in the olfactory bulb in the commonly-usedFmr1knock-out (KO) mouse model of FXS. Our studies indicate thatFmr1KO alters the local excitation/inhibition balance in the bulb, similar to whatFmr1KO does in other brain circuits, but through a novel mechanism that involves enhanced feedforward excitation. Furthermore,Fmr1KO mice display behavioral impairments in fine odor discrimination, an effect that may be explained by changes in neural response reliability.
The Effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Economic Growth and R&D Spending in the EU Countries
Authors: Kotorov Iouri , Krasylnykova Yuliya , Demel Jaroslav , Blaschke Petr
Published: October 2023

The article deals with the issue of economic growth and R&D spending in the EU-27 countries during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using time series analysis, the article examines whether the pandemic and the associated restrictive measures and bailout packages have impacted economic growth and R&D funding. To answer this research question, the development of GDP and GERD Eurostat data was taken, and the period of 2011–2021 was analysed. Besides the development of the monitored indicators (GDP, GERD, GERD as a percentage of GDP), the chain index was constructed to compare year-on-year changes and to analyse the growth rate of the indicators further. The research shows that Covid-19 impacted GDP as well as the field of R&D. Talking in absolute numbers, the impact of the pandemic can be seen in the decrease of both GDP and GERD in 2020. However, since the GDP of the EU-27 countries decrease reached 4 % in 2020 while GERD only reduced by 1 % in the same year, the overall effect on the R&D intensity was positive. However, while the GDP and GERD resumed their growth in 2021 – annual change of 8 % (GDP) and 6 % (GERD) – R&D intensity declined by 2 % compared to 2020. This decline was caused by a more significant growth of GDP than GERD in the same year. However, based on the analysis performed, it can be concluded that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on GDP and GERD of the EU-27 countries was neither significant nor had a long-term nature.
Is It Possible That Marine Based Infrastructure Development is Resolve Inequality Development In the Coastal Community?
Authors: Fatimah Nurul , Dwiningrum Siti Irene Astuti
Published: October 2023

Coastal communities are synonymous with poverty problems, both structurally and culturally. Various attempts have been made to solve this problem. One of the most widely carried out efforts is through the construction of infrastructure and supporting facilities for coastal communities. This study aims to determine the reasons why the construction of fishery port infrastructure as supporting facilities for fishing activities was built and how the impact of this infrastructure has on the welfare of coastal communities. The method in this research is qualitative naturalistic. The research subjects are the people who live around the port of Bulu Tuban and who use the port to support their service activities. There are 10 informants in this research consisting of various profiles, from fishermen to bureaucrats related to the construction of the port. Collecting data using observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis used interactive descriptive qualitative data analysis. The results showed that the port infrastructure development in Bulu village was built on the initiative and appointment of the provincial service based on the opportunity analysis and the needs of the coastal community. The community around the fur fishing port takes advantage of the feather fishing port in their socio-economic activities. Positive changes that occur, such as changing the attitude of the community around the fur fishing port to be more concerned about the environment and shifting of livelihoods. Unwanted changes, with the existence of a large fish auction system, make it difficult for small fish traders to participate in the bid.

Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia are often considered an important aspect of religious education. One aspect of the discussion that is rarely discussed in Islamic boarding schools is women's empowerment and gender equality because this is often considered an idea derived from western ideology and education. However, to solve the country's economic and development problems, ideas and discussions around gender equality and women's empowerment are now increasingly coming to the fore and becoming a public concern. One of the institutions that became the focus of this research was the involvement of Islamic boarding schools in teaching these ideas to their students. Thus, the main question in this study is how gender and women's empowerment are implemented in Islamic boarding schools. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological studies to explore and identify existing field results by carrying out field observations and interviews with various speakers including educators and students as the primary method of data collection. Observations and interview questions are based on research formulations that focus on the practice and involvement of institutions and each Islamic boarding school actor in gender equality and women's empowerment. The results illustrate the role of an educational institution that optimizes education based on gender equality and women's empowerment in its curriculum. In addition, each individual also has an active role in efforts to empower women to change the negative stigma brought by conservative Islamic understanding of women. Education in Islamic boarding schools also actively tackles radicalism among its students. This study discusses how Islamic boarding schools in Tasikmalaya are reforming their curriculum and environment to assimilate with gender education and women's empowerment.
Adolescents’ Subjective Well-Being of Indonesian Migrant Worker’s Families: The Role of Social Support and Parental Communication
Authors: Sawitri Feby , Alfiasari Alfiasari
Published: October 2023

Subjective well-being is the perception of happiness and satisfaction with life experiences from someone's point of view. This research aims to analyze the effect of adolescent characteristics, family characteristics, social support, and adolescent-parental communication on the subjective well-being of adolescents in migrant worker families. The method used in this research is a non-probability sampling method with a convenience sampling technique in 5 selected schools in the Kesugihan District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. The respondents of this study involved 99 junior high school students aged 12-16 years. Based on the results, teenagers whose parents leave behind to work overseas predominantly live with their grandparents. Migrant workers are dominated by mothers, with percentages up to 85.9 percent, and most work as household assistants. Migrant workers are dominated by married persons and belong to the small family category. Teacher social support for PMI family teenagers has an average index of 62.55, and peer social support is 63.67. The study also found that mother communication with adolescents is better than father communication with adolescents. The correlation test results stated that teacher social support, peer social support, and parent-adolescent communication had a significant positive relationship with adolescent subjective well-being.
Social and Cultural Capital in Islamic Religious Education: Case Study of Madrasah Diniyah Nurul Huda Sarimulyo Blora
Authors: Rahmadani Shavira , Alimi Moh Yasir
Published: October 2023

Madrasah Diniyah Nurul Huda is a non-formal religious education that teaches Islamic religious sciences. This study aims to determine the forms of social and cultural capital in Madin Nurul Huda, the implications for institutions, students, teachers, the community around Madin Nurul Huda, and strategies to maintain social and cultural capital. This study used qualitative research methods. The research location is in Sarimulyo Village, Ngawen District, Blora Regency. Data collection techniques in this study are observation, interviews, and documentation. The theory is based on the theory of social capital and cultural capital from Pierre Bourdieu. The results of this study are social capital in Madin Nurul Huda, namely in the form of social networks, beliefs, values and norms. Cultural capital in Madin Nurul Huda takes the form of the human dimension, the object dimension, and the institutional dimension. For students it has positive implications because they get religious knowledge and form good morals, but the classical study method is applied, students become passive in learning. The implication for teachers is that it is not too influential for improving welfare. The implications for the surrounding community are getting additional jobs and fulfilling Islamic religious education facilities. Strategies for maintaining social and cultural capital from Madin Nurul Huda, namely Haul and Akhirussanah, Halal Bihalal, and maintaining the good quality of teachers. Suggestions for Madin Nurul Huda are to be open to expanding their social network, for Madin Nurul Huda Teachers need a variety of learning methods, and for the Blora and Provincial governments it is hoped that they will pay attention to the welfare of Madin Teachers in Indonesia.
The ‘placebo effect’ in the conservative treatment of plantar fasciitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Viglione Valentina , Boffa Angelo , Previtali Davide , Vannini Francesca , Faldini Cesare , Filardo Giuseppe
Published: October 2023

Purpose

The study of the placebo effect is key to elucidate the ‘real effect’ of conservative interventions for plantar fasciitis. The aim of this meta-analysis was to quantify the impact of placebo in the different conservative treatments of plantar fasciitis.

Methods

A systematic literature review was performed on double-blind placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) according to PRISMA guidelines on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The meta-analysis primary outcome was the 0–10 pain variation after placebo treatments analyzed at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The risk of bias was assessed using the RoB 2.0 tool, while the overall quality of evidence was graded according to the GRADE guidelines.

Results

The placebo effect for conservative treatments was studied in 42 double-blind RCTs on 1724 patients. The meta-analysis of VAS pain showed a statistically significant improvement after placebo administration of 2.13/10 points (P < 0.001), being highest at 12 months with 2.79/10 points (P < 0.001). The improvement of the placebo groups was higher in the extracorporeal shock wave therapy studies compared to the injection studies (2.59 vs 1.78; P = 0.05). Eight studies had a low risk of bias, 23 studies had ‘some concerns,’ and 4 studies had a high risk of bias. The GRADE evaluation showed an overall high quality of evidence.

Conclusion

This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that the placebo effect represents an important component of all conservative approaches to treat plantar fasciitis. This effect is statistically and clinically significant, increases over time, and depends on the type of conservative treatment applied to address plantar fasciitis.

The objective of this systematic review was to assess a possible relationship between stomatognathic alterations and idiopathic scoliosis (IS).

Design

This study is a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies.

Methods

The protocol of this systematic review with meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022370593). A bibliographic search was carried out in the Pubmed (MEDLINE), Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL databases using the MeSH terms ‘Scoliosis’ and ‘Stomatognathic Disease’. The odds ratio (OR) of prevalence and standardized mean difference (SMD) were used to synthesize the results.

Results

Of 1592 studies located, 14 studies were selected with 3018 subjects (age: 13.9 years). IS was related to Angle’s class II (OR = 2.052, 95% CI = 1.236–3.406) and crossbite (OR = 2.234, 95% CI = 1.639–3.045). Patients with malocclusion showed a higher prevalence of IS than controls (OR = 4.633, 95% CI = 1.467–14.628), and subjects with IS showed high overjet (SMD = 0.405, 95% CI = 0.149–0.661) and greater dysfunction due to temporomandibular disorders (SMD = 1.153, 95% CI = 0.780–1.527).

Conclusion

Compared with healthy controls, subjects with IS have twice the risk of suffering from occlusion disorders, present greater temporomandibular dysfunction and have a greater overjet in the incisors. Moreover, subjects with malocclusion have an IS prevalence up to four times higher. The systematic orofacial examination of patients with IS should be recommended.
Underdeveloped development cooperation. Lithuanian case
Authors: Ivinskienė Giedrė
Published: October 2023

This article strives to reveal the reasons hindering smooth implementation of Lithuania’s development cooperation policy. Although Lithuania is less than 8 years away from the target of official development assistance at least 0.33% of Gross National Income (GNI) per year, it is currently contributing only about one-third of this amount, which naturally raises the question “Why?”. Theoretical framework of the motivations behind development cooperation enforcement, specifically, Europeanisation theory, is chosen to support the research. Bearing in mind the scarcity of the academic body of work for this topic, the main instrument, questionnaire for the in-depth interviews with the main decision makers of Lithuania’s development cooperation was created. 17 semi-structured interviews with experts from various backgrounds provided the valuable material for this analysis and helped to provide possible answers to the matter in question.

Purpose. To assess the quality of the hydrochemical regime of fishponds, the territory of which suffered massive missile strikes or was directly a combat zone or close to the front line. Methodology. Chemical parameters of water including the content of ammonium nitrogen, nitrites, nitrates, phosphates and total iron were measured by the photometric method, while chloride concentration of chlorides by the argentometric titration method. The hydrogen indicator (pH) was determined electrometrically, and sulfate content and mineralization by the gravimetric method. All the above-mentioned methods are generally accepted in the comprehensive assessment of the ecological state of fishponds. Findings. The total amount of mineral salts dissolved in water was studied and analyzed in laboratory conditions, namely: the concentrations of calcium, magnesium, chlorine, bicarbonate ions and sulfate ions. The determined permanganate oxidizability in the investigated ponds exceeded the normative values by 72, 49, 31, and 42%, respectively. The concentration of nitrates ranged from 19.96 to 6.34 mg N/dm3, nitrites from 0.33 to 0.11 mgN/dm3, which indicates the intensity of decomposition of organic substances and indicates a certain degree of contamination of ponds. The amount of total iron in the studied ponds ranged from 1.98 to 1.17 mgFe/dm3, respectively. A slight increase in mineral phosphorus in ponds No. 1 and No. 2 was established by 31 and 26%, respectively, which can probably be related to both the decomposition of zooplankton and the input of pollutants from the outside from the surrounding areas. The obtained results of the laboratory analysis of the chemical composition of water samples as well as their comparison with the normative values for water bodies used for aquaculture provide a basis for assessing the current hydrochemical state of the investigated ponds of Kyiv region Originality. For the first time, a hydrochemical analysis of fishponds in Kyiv Region was conducted, the territory of which suffered massive missile strikes or was directly a combat zone or close to the front line. Practical value. The obtained results will contribute to a better understanding of the current ecological state of fishponds in Kyiv region. Keywords: water body, chemical analysis of water, toxic substances, ecological condition.

Published: October 2023

Introduction. Prior studies have connected entrepreneurship to the economic growth of regions. This fact has led to an increase in academic interest on regional entrepreneurship in Russia and around the world. However, these studies are highly diverse in their research scope, goals, methodologies and results. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to provide some coherence and synthesis to academic research on regional entrepreneurship in Russia.

Materials and Methods. Using a bibliometric method of analysis, this research presents an empirical review of academic studies on entrepreneurship in Russian regions. To maintain a quality threshold, our research focus was limited to studies indexed in the Scopus citation database. We analysed 361 articles from 2006 to 2022. The research includes a thorough performance analysis and a scientific mapping of the field.

Results. Our results show that the main thematic clusters include entrepreneurship, innovation system, government support, knowledge economy and competitiveness, while emerging themes include pandemic, digitalisation, higher education and investment attractiveness, among others. Also, we identified a number of research gaps, particularly in the sociological research of entrepreneurs, and propose suggestions for future research.

Discussion and Conclusion. This article provides an important resource for scholars interested in the study of regional entrepreneurship in Russia and around the world.
Systematic review of macrofungi biodiversity in Eastern Africa countryside: uses, distribution, and conservation checklists
Authors: E. Mjaika Ndifon
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Mushroom biodiversity covers some indispensable non-timber forest products that are wide-spread in Africa, although these resources are currently underutilized, underdeveloped, and left to face the vagaries of climate change and human activities unmanaged. The mushrooms of Eastern Africa have barely been identified or examined for their potential to better the livelihood of the inhabitants. This review of published-online-only literature was carried out to systematically document this biodiversity and its potentials. There were 135 edible mushrooms, 9 edible+medicine mushrooms, and 59 species with no ascribed uses out of 205 species altogether in Eastern Africa. Two mushrooms were identified as poisonous. There were 32 key edible mushrooms in Eastern Africa based on their usage. A tally of mushrooms species (based on country where they were sighted) showed that Ethiopia accounted for 96 species, Tanzania (75), Burundi (37), Rwanda (24), Kenya (18), and Uganda (6) while no information was available from the rest of the countries in the region. The most common genera of mushrooms included Termitomyces, Russula, Pleurotus, Marasmius, Lactarius, Coprinus, Cantharellus, Armillaria, Amanita, and Agaricus. While the most popular species (based on consumption by more locations/tribes) were Amanita zambiana, Hypholoma fasciculare (could be poisonous), Pleurotus cystidiosus, Polyporus tenuiculus, Termitomyces letestui, and Termitomyces striatus. However, it was observed that these tribes or locations were often only within a few countries. Therefore, truly regional mushrooms included Schizophyllum commune (could be poisonous), Suillus luteus, Termitomyces clypeatus, Termitomyces striatus, and Termitomyces microcarpus based on their being found in at least three or more countries. Fungi biodiversity conservation is inadequate in the region.

Abstract. Bio-inorganic chemistry is found as an endearing aspect to research in today’s epoch. It deals with chemical reactions between the metals with natural resources, such as air, soil, water and byproducts (foods). To assess the decline in the quality of southern pink shrimps and water quality on samples from the Lagos lagoon, the morphometric assessment of the crustacean (Farfantepenaeus notialis – F. notialis), physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, salinity, conductivity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, sulphates, nitrate and phosphate) and levels of six (6) trace metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Zinc, Iron, Manganese and Copper) were collected from three sampling points with renowned anthropogenic activities along the stretch of the Lagos Lagoon using standard analytical procedures and the results were compared with standard acceptable limits. The crustaceans used had total length (4.0 – 14.4 cm), carapace length (1.6 – 6.4 cm), total weight (1.1 – 20.8 g) and carapace weight (0.9 – 11.5 g). The results obtained in the physicochemical analysis revealed that a few parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids were beyond acceptable limits, while the trace metals were present in the samples at different levels but still within the maximum residual levels in the edible tissues of the pink shrimps. The obtained results showed that the crustacean and water from the lagoon contained metals but did not exceed both local and international standards of limit and thus, they are still safe for consumption and domestic uses.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Grain production is one of the traditional agricultural sub-sectors in Bulgaria, which has been identified for its comparative advantages. The significant levels of social support provided for these businesses after the accession of Bulgaria to the EU and under the influence of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have incited considerable investments in their innovative technological development. Given the significant economic role of this sector in the sectoral development determines the need for studying their competitiveness and analysis of the factors that determine it. The present study investigated the level of competitiveness of Bulgarian grain production during the period 2014-2020 and its determining factors by using the Relative Trade Advantage index in order to identify opportunities for digital optimization. The results showed that Bulgarian grain production is a competitive sector but at the end of the studied period the competitiveness of barley and maize is increasing while the wheat competitiveness is decreasing. Finally, some digital possibilities for increasing the technical efficiency of Bulgarian grain production were revealed.
