Characterization of Biofilm Producing Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Isolated from Bulk Tank Milk
Authors: Lee Yu Jin , Lee Young Ju
Published: August 2022

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are considered less virulent as they do not produce a large number of toxic enzymes and toxins; however, they have been increasingly recognized as an important cause of bovine mastitis. In particular, the ability to form biofilms appears to be an important factor in CoNS pathogenicity, and it contributes more resistance to antimicrobials. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenic potential by assessing the biofilm-forming ability of CoNS isolated from normal bulk tank milk using the biofilm formation assay and to analyze the biofilm-associated resistance to antimicrobial agents using the disc diffusion method. One hundred and twenty-seven (78.4%) among 162 CoNS showed the ability of biofilm formation, and all species showed a significantly high ability of biofilm formation (p < 0.05). Although the prevalence of weak biofilm formers (39.1% to 80.0%) was significantly higher than that of other biofilm formers in all species (p < 0.05), the prevalence of strong biofilm formers was significantly higher in Staphylococcus haemolyticus (36.4%), Staphylococcus chromogenes (24.6%), and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (21.7%) (p < 0.05). Also, 4 (11.4%) among 35 non-biofilm formers did not harbor any biofilm-associated genes, whereas all 54 strong or moderate biofilm formers harbored 1 or more of these genes. The prevalence of MDR was significantly higher in biofilm formers (73.2%) than in non-formers (20.0%) (p < 0.05). Moreover, the distribution of MDR in strong or moderate biofilm formers was 81.5%, which was significantly higher than in weak (67.1%) and non-formers (20.0%) (p < 0.05). Our results indicated that various CoNS isolated from bulk tank milk, not from bovine with mastitis, have already showed a high ability to form biofilms, while also displaying a high prevalence of MDR.

Published: August 2022

El objetivo del presente estudio está en analizar la tendencia de la Gestión documental en las universidades de Latinoamérica y su basamento en los requisitos de la Norma UNE-ISO 15489. Los indicadores de esta norma constituyen un medio para dar respuesta a las necesidades relativas a la administración, gestión, generación y flujo de documentos, así como la permanencia de los documentos de archivo en el tiempo, además de ir incorporando de forma progresiva las diferentes actividades y regulando las prácticas efectuadas, tanto por los responsables de su gestión como por cualquier otra persona que cree o use documentos en el ejercicio de sus funciones. Se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo, utilizándose el método de análisis documental en la revisión de los presupuestos teóricos y en la valoración de las normativas aplicadas por 12 países de la región. Entre el resultado se destaca que aún existen falencias en las universidades de Latinoamérica puesto que no todas han desarrollado un proyecto para la consolidación de un Sistema de Gestión de Documentos y Archivos. Se concluye que aún persiste la necesidad de las universidades en fortalecer conocimientos sobre gestión de la documentación, aplicar con mayor rigurosidad la legislación de los países en los tres niveles que se presenta: leyes del archivo nacional o archivo general de la Nación, leyes de carácter específico y las leyes del Sistema Nacional de Archivos en cada país.

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as experiências da adolescência quando surgem a gravidez, maternidade e paternidade, desde a vivência da gestação até o primeiro ano de vida da criança, enfocando os significados atribuídos pelos adolescentes, bem como as mudanças que ocorreram em suas vidas com a chegada do bebê e seus planos para o futuro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem etnográfica, empírica, exploratória e descritiva. Participaram da pesquisa cinco adolescentes com idade entre 11 e 17 anos, que engravidaram ou cujas parceiras engravidaram, residentes no oeste catarinense, durante o período contínuo de 15 meses de coleta de dados. Percebeu-se que as experiências da maternidade e paternidade se caracterizam como significação para a vida adulta e acarretam o aceleramento do caminho em direção a essa fase, com transição prematura de papéis, cabendo principalmente a adolescente o cuidado com a criança e ao adolescente prover a casa. Observou-se a necessidade de conhecer os planos dos adolescentes para que sejam criadas políticas públicas que facilitem a concretização dos seus ideais, pois estar em situação de maternidade ou paternidade na adolescência não deve representar a impossibilidade de realizações dos sonhos futuros.

Published: August 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a assistência às gestantes diagnosticadas com Covid-19, bem como as manifestações clínicas específicas da COVID-19 em gestantes e as condutas frente a gestantes infectadas. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa básica, exploratória, descritiva, do tipo Revisão Integrativa da Literatura (RIL). As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados BVS e PubMed, utilizando-se os descritores: “Covid” e “gestação”. As pesquisas foram realizadas em português, inglês e espanhol. Os critérios de elegibilidade foram: artigos publicados em periódicos indexados em bases de dados, que abordassem no título ou resumo menções sobre a discussão de temas como características clínicas maternas e diretrizes/indicações quanto a assistência às gestantes diagnosticadas com SARS-COV 2 e sobre os partos ocorridos durante este período. Artigos incompletos, resumos, monografias, dissertações de mestrado, teses de doutorado foram excluídos. Um total de 15 artigos oriundos dos países Cuba (1), Chile (3), Argentina (1), Irã (1), Itália (1), Estados Unidos (2), Suíça (1), Inglaterra (1), Portugal (1), Brasil (1), Canadá (1) e Peru (1) atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e foram selecionados. Os resultados demonstraram que mulheres gestantes constituem um grupo sensível à contaminação pelo novo Coronavírus devido à propensão de fragilidade do sistema imune e de maior risco de complicações, especialmente em gestantes com comorbidades como obesidade, hipertensão e diabetes, que foram as complicações majoritariamente frequentes nas pacientes caracterizando razão de internação e acompanhamento. Além disso, a grande demanda por espaço para atendimento a pessoas na fase crítica da doença exigiu que etapas importantes do acompanhamento gestacional como o pré-natal fossem feitas remotamente, situação que prejudicou em especial mulheres com pouco ou nenhum acesso à internet. Este estudo contribui para o entendimento das respostas fisiológica de gestantes à infecção por Coronavírus, as adaptações no atendimento provocadas pela pandemia, assim como a discussão de formas mais adequadas de realizar o atendimento a gestantes acometidas pela Covid 19 durante esta crise sanitária.

Durante el otoño-invierno de 1991-92 se sembraron seis cultivares de maíz (Zea mays L.) (H-28, H-30, H-32, CPV20, Zac.58 SMC15 y Zac.58Or) y tres de haba (Vicia faba L.) (CAOr, CASel y CrJuch), en cinco fechas de siembra; las fechas de emergencia para maíz fueron 21 jun, 12 jul, 4 y 20 ags y 8 de sep y para haba 24 jun, 15 de jul, 6 y 23 ags y 12 sep. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las relaciones térmicas entre el cultivo y el ambiente físico antes, durante y después de la incidencia de enfriamiento o helada, así como sus efectos sobre las plantas, con la hipótesis de que ninguna de las especies cultivadas evaluadas toleran las bajas temperaturas que se presentan durante las heladas. Se encontró diferencia en tolerancia al frío entre especies. El maíz mostró menor tolerancia que el haba. Con temperaturas foliares de –0.4 y –0.7 °C ocurrió muerte total de plantas de maíz, mientras que en haba afectó sólo a las flores. Las plantas de haba sufrieron daños letales con temperatura de -5 °C y 7.5 horas de exposición, encontrando que las hojas y frutos ubicados en el estrato foliar inferior sufrieron menos daños por la protección que les brindan los estratos superiores.
Food Insecurity, Food Waste, and Food Redistribution among Arabic-Speaking Countries: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mousa Tamara Y.
Published: August 2022

Over 20% of Arabs are food insecure; almost double the global figure (10.9%). Malnutrition also is the greatest challenge that nations with conflict are facing, despite the presence of several agencies that redistribute surplus food to the impoverished. Yet, this society wastes 34% of its food. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to discuss food insecurity, food waste, and redistribution in 22 Arabic-speaking countries. War, poverty, harsh climate conditions, limited agricultural resources, and food disposal are other risk factors for food insecurity. However, food redistribution would help in diminishing the gap between food waste and insecurity, which deserves further investigation. Other solutions include the development of agricultural projects; desalination of seawater and/or building dams, use of biotechnology to boost crop productivity and its nutrition quality, and resistance to drought and pests, adoption of food-waste reduction technologies; and development of new regulations/laws via tax reduction for donors and displaying fines for wasting food. Finally, the present review differs from other published manuscripts in that it establishes a database for researchers regarding not only food waste, but also describes reasons and suggested solutions to reduce hunger and food insecurity in the Arab world.

Ferula tingitana L. has been reported for abortive and\or menstruation inducing properties. However, its contraceptive effect has never been deliberately evaluated. Furthermore, no inclusive chemical profiling of its extract was recorded.  Many Ferula species were known for their effects on the oestrogenic rhythm. During our drug discovery from natural sources F. tingitana L. growing in Libya was selected for evaluation of its contraceptive effect. To evaluate the hormonal effects and bioactive molecules of F.tingitana ethanol extract of aerial parts (EtOH) using in vivo experimental model. Adult female albino rats were divided equally into 4 groups (n=6). One group received distilled water for 14days, 2nd ,3rd and 4th groups received orally the tested extract at a daily dose of 100, 200 and 300 mgkg-1 b.wt. for 14 days, respectively. The administration lasted for 14 days (2 weeks) at 9 A.M.  Rats body and uterus weight were measured. They fasted overnight and then anaesthetized through a diethylether exposure and blood samples were collected through the ocular puncture. Blood was centrifuged to obtain clear sera for hormonal assay. The serum was subjected by ELISA method for assessment of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), estradiol(E2)and progesterone (P4) levels. Biochemical estimations of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerlide(TG) and glucose(Glu) level were measured. GC/MS of the lipoidal profile along with HPLC analysis of the phenolic contents were carried out. EtOH and its successive soluble fractions were subjected for chromatographic analysis. The results displayed significant decrease in levels of FSH, LH, E2 and P4 of adult female Wistar rats. Significant decline in biochemical serum level of TC, TG and Glu were observed. Sesquiterpene daucol, linolenic acid, caffeic acid and hesperidin were the main identified phytoconstituents. CC of EtOH afforded 5 compounds were identified as β-sitosterol 1, colladonin 2, scopoletin 3, caffeic acid 4, 1-(3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl) cyclopentane-2`,3`-diol 5.  It was concluded that sesquiterpene coumarins as the significant phytoconstituents of EtOH may revealing adverse effect on the menstruation, ovulation of follicles and consequently may impair fertility. EtOH evidenced a hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effects.
A study on antibacterial efficacy of different extracts of Artocarpus chama fruits and identification of bioactive compounds in the most potent extract
Authors: Burman Sunanda , Chandra Goutam
Published: August 2022

This study is designed to evaluate the antibacterial potential of various extracts of mature green fruits of Artocarpus chama with the identification of bioactive compounds. The antibacterial efficacy was tested against eight pathogenic bacteria using standard antibiotics as the positive control. Antibacterial bioassay was performed by measuring zone of inhibition, Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC), and Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBC). The most effective extract was further subjected to preliminary phytochemical tests, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), and Fourier Transform Infrared analysis. Ethyl acetate extract (EAAC) was found to be the most effective extract producing an inhibition zone of 45.50 ± 0.50 mm against Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 2453. Effective spots (ES) (Rf=0.37) of EAAC separated by TLC analysis were subjected to indirect contact bio-autography for evaluating their efficacies against the tested bacterial strains. Values of MBC/MIC for the extract ranged from 1.20 to 1.80 (<2) indicating their bactericidal property. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy analysis of ES was performed for the identification of bioactive antibacterial compounds. Alkaloids, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, and an array of functional groups in EAAC were detected. MICs of ES ranged from 6 - 10 µg/ml. Four bioactive compounds in ES were detected in GC-MS analysis. Thus, this study revealed that ethyl acetate extract of A. chama fruits contained several bioactive compounds with promising bactericidal properties against tested strains of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

Nitrous Oxide Inhalation Sedation in Pediatric Dentistry: An overview of the available guidelines
Authors: Ibrahim Dayang
Published: August 2022

Children with behavioral issues are usually inadequately treated using non-pharmacological behavior management techniques, making dental treatment a real clinical challenge for the practitioner. This leads to the indispensable need for advanced pharmacological techniques, such as inhalation sedation (IS). In pediatric dentistry, nitrous oxide sedation is considered the safest tool for a dental practitioner to use on uncooperative children, thus reducing the need for dental treatment under general anesthesia. To date, several sets of high-ranking evidence-based inhalation sedation guidelines are available,developed in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. This review summarizes the indications, contraindications, advantages, and disadvantages of using nitrous oxide sedation in children, and compares these in terms of inhalation sedation procedure and documentation. This review will assist the dental practitioner in developing appropriate practice regulations for safe and effective practice.

end, others were victims of the burden it imposed and died an unnatural death on the other. It burdened every person
mentally and economically. Its consequences led to a stream of unstoppable tragedies all across. At AIIMS Rishikesh, a
retrospective descriptive research was done to see how it affected postmortem at this Himalayan tourist destination that
relies heavily on tourism for its economic survival. A significant reduction in mortality due to accidents was noted.
Suicide cases, on the other hand, increased with male predominance due to sudden exposure to psychological and

A binary/digital approach to peptide sequencing and protein identification
Authors: Sampath G
Published: August 2022

A procedure to identify single amino acids (AAs) in the bulk or with a few molecules from a single binary measurement is introduced. Combined with Edman degradation (or other method) it can be used to sequence a peptide or identify the parent protein from a partial sequence. This binary/digital approach is centered on the superspecificity property of transfer RNAs (tRNAs), it differs markedly from conventional and recent single molecule (SM) sequencing methods based on analog measurements. Each of 20 (or more) terminal residues cleaved from 20 (or more) copies of a peptide enters a different cavity with a unique tRNA; tRNA charging (or binding with AA) occurs only in the cavity with the cognate AA. The bound AA or the AA separated from the tRNA is detected with a single binary measurement; its identity is known from the position of the single high bit in the resulting 20-bit output. Alternatively a 20-stage pipeline can be used with sparse samples. Detection of the bound AA can be done optically by tagging the AAs with a fluorescent dye, of the freed AA electrically with a nanopore. Necessary conditions for accurate AA identification are satisfied in principle; related computations and simulation results are presented. A modified version that can be used for de novo sequencing in parallel of large numbers of peptides immobilized on a glass slide with the tRNAs carrying a fluorescent tag is mooted. Both methods can be used for protein identification from partial sequences containing 2 or 3 AA types by using only the corresponding tRNAs. Potential implementation issues are discussed.

Advances in science and technology of human civilization have encouraged industry in Indonesia to develop more and more advanced from simple technology to advanced technology. Chemical industrial technology is the use of engineering science that studies the processing of raw goods into more useful and economical goods which involve chemical reactions in the process. One of them is the technology to evaluate the Heat Echanger in the Chemical Industry, especially in the Oil and Gas Industry, Evaluation of the Heat Exchanger-05 to determine the fouling factor in the oil processing process so that if you know the fouling factor, the Heat Exchanger will be able to know what maintenance needs to be applied. equipment or not. Observing the process of making crude oil into products, diesel, residue and pertasol. From the calculation results, it is stated that the ratio of actual Rd and theoretical Rd is greater than the actual Rd than the theoretical Rd. The actual Rd is 0.02318648 The actual Rd value that can be obtained indicates that there is a buildup of fouling (crust) on the HE-05. The buildup of fouling can inhibit the rate of heat transfer between the residue and crude oil. In addition, this buildup of fouling can produce a hot slot area which can result in leaks in the heat exchanger. the heat given to the residue is 1919948,193 Btu/hour while the heat received by crude oil is 1682707,817 so it can be interpreted that not all the heat given by the residue is received by the crude oil. There is heat wasted by 14%. because it is necessary to add an insulator so that the HE performance is more efficient.

Global warming is global issue in modern times.Global warming and climate change  have affected the entire world. It  is essential to take preventive measures to reduce heat wave and  temperature  of Earth for protection of  human life animal life and plant life. Islamic ecological instructions can play an important role to eradicate current global warming. Deforestation is main cause of global warming.Trees are natural sources of oxygen and cooling in the atmosphere .Trees play  a key role in maintaining   natural ecological balance of planet Earth.The plants and trees  provide humane life  with fresh, clean  and cool oxygen to breath. Heat wave in recent times  must be controlled by  planting as many  trees as possible.30 percent  area of Pakistan was covered with  forest and green trees in 1947 but gradually it has shrunk to 5 percent in these days. Deforestation has increased imbalance, disorder, global warming, climate change, air pollution and other many more  ecological and biological issues. Every person is hardly motivated to plant new trees more and more in Islamic teachings. This article explores Islamic teachings, preventive measures  for  global warming  prevention.

Purpose: The study aimed at investigating the impact of Modern Male Circumcision (MMC) on STI/HIV in Samia Sub-County, Kenya. As at 2015-2019 the uptake of male circumcision in Samia Sub County was 52% which was below 80% recommended by WHO. Methodology: The study design was a cross sectional descriptive study. Sample size was 385 respondents. Stratified sampling was used to select households while purposive sampling procedure was used to select men. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Data gathered was edited, analysed using SPSS version 25.0 at p value of 0.05 considered statistically significant. Ethical consideration was observed during the entire process of the study. Results: Majority of the respondents 72 (20%) were in the age bracket of (18-26) years. 45% had attained primary level education. Further, 60% of respondents reported that Male circumcision reduced STI/HIV transmission by 60% at 0.001. However, they were hindered to seek male circumcision services due to long distance to the health facility at (45%). 50% believed that women health professionals were not allowed to touch men’s penis. Conclusion: Provision of MMC services is a concern, it reduced STI/HIV transmission by 60% among men in Samia Sub County community. However, as regards distance to some healthy facility to access MMC services still it was an obstacle to men. Moreover, Female health providers still posed hindrance to up take of MMC services because from the study, it was noted from Samia Sub-County that it is a taboo for women to touch men’s penis. Recommendation: Despite some impediment of distance and culture towards MMC, the MOH need to strengthen the uptake of male circumcision in order to reduce the magnitude of STI/HIV in Samia Sub-County.

Learners’ Opportunities to Practice Speech Acts in English Language Teaching Textbooks
Authors: Kawashima Chie
Published: August 2022

This study investigates learners’ opportunities to practise pragmatic knowledge in English language teaching (ELT) textbooks. Specifically, it focuses on the frequently recurring speech acts of giving advice, giving offers, inviting, and requesting. In order to determine how these speech acts are treated in textbook tasks, five beginner level international and seven Japanese high school ELT textbooks were examined. The study revealed that international textbooks used these speech acts to practise everyday interactions. Conversely, Japanese high school textbooks used speech acts to introduce grammar information, and, occasionally, to practise mitigation or softening. Both types of textbooks shared weaknesses, such as a narrow range of language use situations and limited pragmatic choice for learners. In the end, findings from the study suggest the necessity of teacher efforts to modify internal characteristics of materials to adapt tasks to pragmatic instruction.

本研究では、英語教材に頻出される発話行為のうち、「助言」、「申し出」、「招待」および「依頼」に焦点をあわせ、言語使用の訓練ができる機会についての調査を行った。調査対象として、初級レベルの洋書教材と日本国内の高等学校1年生用の英語教科書を比較した。その結果、洋書教材においては、これらの発話行為は日常会話の練習に使用されており、高等学校教科書では文法事項の紹介の手段として用いられていることが判明した。また両タイプの教材には、学習者の言語使用ならびに語用論的選択の範囲が限られているという問題点も発見された。したがって適切な言語使用という観点から、指導者の努力により教材の内的部分を語用論的指導に適応できるように変えていく必要性が求められる。
Self-Assessment Through Reflection
Authors: Gupta Charu
Published: August 2022

This study aims to observe the benefits of reflective practices for corrective feedback in the classroom through examining qualitative and quantitative data. It is a study that focuses on how students reflect on their performance in discussion tests, and if they can “notice” their errors in accordance with the test and course aims. Students were asked to reflect on their performance after watching the videos of their discussion tests and answer certain questions. The purpose was to have a “focused” reflection wherein students were asked to consider the aims of the test (e.g.: use of target discussion skills). In the final prompt, a question was added to elicit and understand students’ perceptions of this task. Most participants found reflection to be helpful in noticing their strengths and weaknesses. The final survey also demonstrated a mostly positive attitude toward the task.

本研究は、質的および量的な研究データの検証を通して、教室における訂正フィードバックのための省察的実践の効果を観察することを目的としている。学生がディスカッションテストでのパフォーマンスをどのように振り返り、テストやコースの目的に沿って自分の間違いに「気づく」ことができているかどうかに焦点を合わせた質的研究である。学生は、ディスカッションテストのビデオを見た後、自分のパフォーマンスを振り返り、プロンプトの質問に答えるよう求められた。その目的は、テストの目的（例：目標とするディスカッションスキルの使用）を考慮した「集中的な」振り返りを行うことであった。最後のプロンプトでは、このタスクに対する生徒の認識を引き出すための質問を加えた。ほとんどの参加者は、自己省察が自分の長所と短所に気づくのに役立ったと答えた。また、最終的なアンケートでは、この課題に対してほぼ肯定的な態度が示された。
