Doing Good in the Neighborhood? The Effect of Coethnic Concentration on the Educational Attainment of Mexican, Filipino, and Vietnamese Children of Immigrants
Authors: Lee Rennie
Published: August 2021

An enduring puzzle in social science literature is that immigrants’ children belonging to Asian subgroups consistently outperform their Latino counterparts even after parents’ socioeconomic background is considered. These disparities may be explained by differences in the coethnic community. Using the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Data in California, this study quantitatively examines whether living with more coethnics affects the educational attainment of Mexican, Vietnamese, and Filipino children of immigrants. The results indicate that Vietnamese children benefit from living with a higher number of coethnics but Mexicans and Filipinos do not. The enduring Vietnamese effect may be attributed to underlying social characteristics of the Vietnamese community, such as their refugee status or norms about success. Overall, the effect of coethnic neighbors on education depends on immigrants’ aggregate characteristics.

Published: August 2021

Background. Abuse in early life stages has been proposed as an etiological risk factor for developing menstrually-related mood disorders (MRMDs). Objetive. To evaluate whether there is a relation between the occurrence of physical and/or sexual violence in childhood and/or adolescence and the development of MRMDs in adulthood. Method. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, with the route (“Premenstrual Syndrome”[Mesh]) OR (“Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder”[MeSH]) AND (“Violence”[Mesh]) / (“menstrually-related mood disorders” AND “abuse”). Fifty-four articles were initially reviewed and 32 were excluded based on the criteria. Twenty-two articles were thoroughly reviewed. Finally, five articles (publication years 2014, 2013, 2012, 2007, and 2003) were included in the systematic review and submitted to a meta-analysis. Results. Results indicate that having been exposed to physical and/or sexual violence in childhood and/or adolescence increases 1.99 times the risk of experiencing MRMDs in adulthood in comparison with women who did not experience that type of violence (odds ratio [OR] = 1.99; 95% confidence interval [1.58, 2.51]). Discussion and conclusion. The present work provides evidence that a woman who experienced violence through physical and/or sexual abuse during childhood and/or adolescence has a greater risk of developing MRMDs in adulthood.

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyoma and endometriosis are the most common gynecological diseases in women of reproductive age. A number of data indicate that there are common elements in the pathogenesis of these hyperproliferative conditions. This article is devoted to comparative analysis of the role of the WNT4, HOXA10 and TWIST1 genes in the development of uterine leiomyoma and external genital endometriosis.
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of polymorphic variants rs7521902 (WNT4) and rs4721745 (TWIST1) in patients with uterine leiomyoma, external genital endometriosis and in the comparison group; to determine the frequency of rare allelic variants of the HOXA10 gene in patients with external genital endometriosis; and to study the expression of these genes in the endometrium in patients with uterine leiomyoma, EGE and in the comparison group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The polymorphic variants of the WNT4 and TWIST1 genes were studied by real-time PCR in patients with external genital endometriosis, uterine leiomyoma and in the comparison group. In patients with EGE and women in the comparison group, the second exon of the HOXA10 gene was sequenced. Real-time PCR with reverse transcription analysis of the expression of the WNT4, TWIST1 and HOXA10 genes in endometrial samples from the patients of the study groups was performed.
RESULTS: The frequencies of polymorphic variants rs7521902 (WNT4) and rs4721745 (TWIST1) in patients with uterine leiomyoma, external genital endometriosis and in the comparison group did not differ significantly. Minor alleles of the HOXA10 gene were not identified in patients with external genital endometriosis. Expression of the WNT4 gene in the endometrium of patients with external genital endometriosis was independent of menstrual cycle phase and was reduced by 1.9 times compared to the endometrium of women with uterine leiomyoma. Expression of the HOXA10 gene in the endometrium of endometriosis patients on days 20-23 of the menstrual cycle was significantly reduced compared to the women in the comparison group. Expression of the TWIST1 gene was not altered in the endometrium of patients with uterine leiomyoma and external genital endometriosis.
CONCLUSIONS: We did not identify associations of the studied polymorphic variants of the WNT4 and TWIST genes and minor variants of the HOXA10 gene with uterine leiomyoma and external genital endometriosis. The expression of the WNT4 and HOXA10 genes is reduced in the endometrium in patients with external genital endometriosis, but not in women with uterine leiomyoma. Changes in expression patterns of the studied genes in the endometrium differ significantly in these two diseases.

The literature data on the possibility of preventing severe complications in the antenatal period of development with the timely use of surfactant, magnesium sulfate and acetylcysteine are presented, It is emphasized that the first hours of a premature baby's life are a critical period for an individual approach to resuscitation, the beginning and effectiveness of drug therapy aimed at suppressing oxidative stress and systemic inflammation, which is confirmed by modern trends in optimizing the care of premature babies using pentoxifylline, erythropoietin, cortexin and melatonin.
Upcycling Industrial Food Waste as Functional Fillers in Polylactic Acid Composites
Authors:   , Snelling Emma Kathryn , Schauer Caroline L.
Published: August 2021

Growing concern over climate change has caused an increased interest in composite materials that can be used as alternatives to fossil fuel derived materials. While plastics are a versatile material, the large quantity of emissions released during production as well as their lack of degradation has resulted in the need for composites that have a lower production and end-of-life impact. Industrial food waste from the food and beverage industry has the potential to act as filler material within composites due to its abundance and homogeneity while polylactic acid, a biodegradable polymer, has mechanical properties that make it suitable for use as a plastic alternative. This work explored using cranberry pomace and brewers spent grains, both raw and modified, as filler material in polylactic acid composites produced via extrusion. Processability of the food waste/polymer formulations was evaluated as was the structural and water absorption properties of the extruded filaments. This work determined that cranberry pomace can be used as filler material in polylactic acid composites although water absorption is a concern over long immersion times. Brewers spent grains were unable to be extruded although the results suggest this is due to lack of proper processing thus further study is required. The results suggest the importance of proper adhesion between the food waste and polymer prior to extrusion as well as protecting the polyphenolic compounds within the cranberry pomace through solvent washing and inclusion of soy protein isolate.
Biochemical, Endocrine and Genetic Impairments in Response to Agrochemicals Intoxication in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio)
Authors: . Sanna
Published: August 2021

Worldwide extensive use of agrochemicals in agricultural production poses potential ecotoxicological effects and disturbs aquatic biota, more specially fish. This study aims to evaluate comparative effects of selected agrochemicals such as profenofos, endosulfan and deltamethrin on biochemical, endocrine and genetic profiles of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Forty healthy carp (50 ± 7.45g and 15 ± 5.86 cm) were selected randomly and equally divided into four groups; control group labeled as E0 and three treated groups having 4 ppb of profenofos, deltamethrin and endosulfan, labeled as E1, E2, E3 respectively. Fish were exposed to chemicals for 96 h. Obtained results revealed that, significant changes were observed in biochemical parameters of treated groups in comparison with control group (P < 0.05): glucose, creatinine, serum amylase, alkaline phosphate, sodium and phosphorus levels increased significantly, while a significant (P < 0.05) reduction was recorded in serum protein, triglycerides, serum lipase and magnesium levels. Whereas significant increase in TSH and cortisol levels were found, while significant decrease (P < 0.05) in T3, T4 and insulin level were observed in experimental groups as compared to control group. Genetic parameters were also affected under the stressors and showed significant increase (P < 0.05) in micronuclei frequency in erythrocytes of treated fish compared to the control group. Toxicities of the three agrochemicals were: endosulfan > deltamethrin > profenofos. The obtained results provide solid evidence that unobservant use of such agrochemical causes a pernicious effect on nontarget organisms such as fish. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
Exogenous Menadione Sodium Bisulphite Increases Pigments, Osmoprotectants and Alters Metabolism to Attenuate Cadmium Toxicity on Growth and Yield in Summer Squash (Cucurbita pepo)
Authors: Yaseen Wajeeha
Published: August 2021

The menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB) is hydrophilic and has been suggested a defensive molecule against different biotic and abiotic stresses. Cadmium (Cd) is a highly mobile element and even its minute amount causes toxicity in different organisms including plants. This experiment was conducted to elucidate whether seed priming with MSB could induce Cd tolerance in summer squash. The seed were primed with 0, 10 and 20 mM MSB and sown in pots filled with clean and dried sand saturated with Hoagland’s nutrients solution supplemented with different Cd concentrations (0 and 0.1 mM). The Cd stress reduced growth and contents of chlorophyll (Chl), osmoprotectants (soluble sugars, free amino acids, soluble proteins) and yield while increased oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and secondary metabolites (total phenolics and flavonoids). The Cd stress increased root and shoot Fe (4−18%, respectively) and Ca2+ (24−93%, respectively) concentration while decreased root and shoot Mg2+ concentration (31−39%, respectively). The summer squash transported Cd to shoot and compartmentalized it in the cells to avoid Cd toxicity. However, the plants raised from seed primed with MSB had higher contents of photosynthetic pigments (17−23% total Chl), secondary metabolites and osmoprotectants when grown under Cd stress. Further, MSB-priming attenuated the toxicity of Cd on nutrients acquisition and increased growth and yield in the summer squash. The MSB-priming reduced Cd uptake (84%) and also altered Cd compartmentalization at sub-cellular level, and mediated its accumulation in the cell wall and soluble fraction (vacuole) rather than in the chloroplasts and cell membranes. Overall, MSB-priming (10 mM) was much more effective and increased growth and yield of summer squash under Cd stress. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
Organic Fertilizer Regulates Soil Carbon, Nitrogen Balance and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Tobacco Production System
Authors: Liang Taibo
Published: August 2021

The impact of organic fertilizers on the carbon source/sink balance of tobacco soil ecosystem remains controversial. A two-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different fertilization treatments(no fertilizer,chemical fertilizer, chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissionsincludingsoil carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), ammonia volatilization and comprehensive greenhouse effects. The results showed that tobacco soil ecosystem can be carbon source orsink, depending mainly on the carbon sequestration of the plant. Comparing with chemical fertilizer, the combined application of chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer increased the CO2emission flux and C emission from soil, and significantly increased the carbon sequestration of tobacco plants. The carbon sequestration function of organic fertilizer was closely related to the carbon accumulation of tobacco plants. Comparedwith the chemical fertilizer, soil ammonia volatilization and N2O emission flux were increased by adding organic fertilizer. Both the soil N emission and the biological nitrogen fixation were increased by organic fertilizer. The greenhouse gas emission intensity(GHGI)of organic fertilizer treatment decreased by 14.60%, a remarkable emission reduction, whilethe tobacco yield of organic fertilizer treatment increased 19.12%. Therefore, increasing organic fertilizer in tobacco planting fields is an important way to promote tobacco yield, carbon sequestration and emission reduction.© 2021 Friends Science Publishers
De Novo Assembly and Characterization of the Seed Germination Transcriptomes of Sicyos angulatus
Authors: Si Helong
Published: August 2021

Sicyos angulatus has become an important invasive plant exhibiting good ecological adaptability and strong competitive ability. However, studies on this plant at the molecular level are limited by a lack of sequencing data. The present study obtained transcriptome sequences and gene expression profiles using RNA-Seq during S. angulatus seed germination. In total, RNA-Seq generated 491,967,468 reads, which were de novo assembled and 127,874 unigenes with N50 length of 807 bp. About 34.9% of the unigenes (44,660) were annotated against the protein databases, and 35,176 coding sequences were determined. During S. angulatus seed germination, over 127,860 unigenes were expressed and 66,664 unigenes differentially expressed genes (DEGs), among which 8919 DEGs were similar in pairwise comparison. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of DEGs revealed that genes related to post-embryonic development, meristem development, and photosynthesis were enriched. In addition, the GO term “plant hormone signal transduction pathway” was also enriched in the DEGs. Important changes in genes expression related to auxin and gibberellin signal transduction might possibly be associated with S. angulatus seed germination. The findings of this study provide a foundation for research on S. angulatus that may contribute to prevent further invasion of this plant, consequently protecting the environment. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
Assessment of Genetic Variability and Direct-Indirect Contribution of Post-Anthesis Traits to the Grain Yield in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum) at Different Sowing Dates
Authors: Ul-Allah Sami
Published: August 2021

In cotton-wheat cropping system of Pakistan, sowing of wheat is delayed which results in a heavy loss to the farmers. To this end, a two-year field experiment was conducted to i) asses the performance of genotypes under late sowing ii) heritability and genetic association of different traits under normal and late sowing for their use in the breeding programs. Experimental factors included 20 diverse wheat genotypes (16 advance lines and 04 approved varieties) factorially combined with two sowing dates i.e., normal sowing (11 and 13 November in 2018 and 2019, respectively) and late sowing (09 and 11 December in 2018 and 2019, respectively). The results revealed a highly significant (P < 0.01) effect of genotype and sowing date on all the post-anthesis studied traits and the interaction of the two factors was also significant (P < 0.01) for all the traits except number of spikelets per spike. Contribution of sowing dates was more in overall variation of different post-anthesis traits than genotypes and their interaction. With respect to the performance, genotype 9725 performed best in both early and late sowing, but a reduction of 26% in the grain yield was observed due to late sowing, whereas the grain yield of Miraj-2008 was comparatively lower but showed a reduction of only 17% due to late sowing. Number of tillers per plant and biological yield showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) correlation (r= 0.38 and 0.72, respectively) with grain yield under normal conditions, but path analyses revealed that number of tillers per plant showed association indirectly through biological yield and its direct effect is only one third of the total effect. Under late sowing, association of number of tillers turned non-significant and direct effect become negative which showed complicated association of this trait under normal and late sowing. High broad sense heritability (H2 > 75%) of all the traits suggests a good genetic gain in breeding program by using these traits. As different genotypes performed best for different yield related traits, therefore a breeding program with a careful crossing plan should be developed to pyramid the genes for different traits for the development of genotypes adapted to late sowing. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
Do Hydro-Retainer Polymers Attenuate Damage from Water Fluctuations in Leaf Metabolism and the Quality of Cedrela odorata Seedlings?
Authors: da Silva Márcio Santos
Published: August 2021

Water stress, caused by excess or lower of water, can negatively affect leaf metabolism and seedling growth and prevent it from developing its maximum genetic potential. In this sense, it is necessary to use as that can mitigate these deleterious effects on plants at their initial phase of growth. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of hydrogel in the mitigation of water stress (deficit and flooding) on photosynthetic metabolism and growth characteristics of C. odorata seedlings, and also evaluate their recovery potential after the resumption of irrigation. The characteristics of photosynthetic metabolism, growth and quality of C. odorata seedlings showed a reduction caused by water fluctuations, indicating sensitivity to these conditions, although photosynthesis photochemistry was affected to a lower extent. The addition of the hydro-retainer polymer contributed little to the biochemical and photochemical indicators of photosynthesis and seedling quality, a fact that directs us to reject our hypothesis that its use promotes mitigation of damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and to the growth. Cedrela odorata is sensitive to water variations in the soil, but recovers the photosynthetic metabolism and quality of the seedlings once the stressful water condition is suspended. The application of the hydro-retainer polymer mitigated, but the seedlings recovered regardless of their presence. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Authors: Ahammed Toukir , Ahmed Sumon , Khan Mohammed Shafiul Alam
Published: August 2021

Missing link smell occurs when developers contribute to the same source code without communicating with each other. Existing studies have analyzed the relationship of missing link smells with code smell and developer contribution. However, the productivity of developers involved in missing link smell has not been explored yet. This study investigates how productivity differs between smelly and non-smelly developers. For this purpose, the productivity of smelly and non-smelly developers of seven open-source projects are analyzed. The result shows that the developers not involved in missing link smell have more productivity than the developers involved in smells. The observed difference is also found statistically significant.

Published: August 2021

Aim      To study the effect of residual coronary injury after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as evaluated with the SYNTAX scale (residual SYNTAX score, RSS), on the mid-term prognosis for patients with non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and also to determine threshold RSS values for patients at high and low risk of adverse cardiac events.

Material and methods  A single-center, retrospective study was performed. From 421 patients with NSTEMI after PCI with stenting, 169 patients were selected who originally had multivessel coronary disease and who had undergone a repeated inpatient examination, including mid-term (11.7±3.0 mos.) coronary angiography. The endpoints were recurrent clinical manifestations of angina, repeat revascularization (RR), unstable angina (UA), recurrent acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cardiac death, and also a composite endpoint (major adverse cardiac events, MACE) that included UA, recurrent AMI, and cardiac death. After revealing a significant direct correlation between RSS and the probability of recurrent AMI, UA, MACE, or RR (p <0.05) using the ROC analysis, we have established threshold RSS values that divided patients into groups with high and low risk of the cardiac events listed above.

Results For a significantly high risk of recurrent AMI (area under the curve, AUC 0.79±0.05; 95 % confidence interval, CI 0.68–0.89; р=0.048), the threshold RSS score was 8 (sensitivity 100 %, specificity 70.9 %). For UA and MACE, the RSS scores were both 3 (AUC 0.68±0.5; 95 % CI 0.58–0.79; p=0.005 and AUC 0.71±0.05; 95 % CI 0.61–0.8; p=0.001, respectively). The probability of UA during the observation period with RSS >3 was 4.07 times higher and that of MACE was 5.23 times higher than with RSS<3 (95 % CI 1.44–11.49; р=0.01 and 95 % CI 1.88–14.53; р=0.001, respectively).

Conclusion      The study demonstrated a significant, direct correlation between the RSS and the risk of adverse cardiac events in patients with NSTEMI during one year of observation. Specific threshold values were obtained, which may help in choosing both the extent of revascularization and the tactics for postoperative management of patients.

Aim      Improvement of quality of life is one of the most important goals for the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study searched for ways to increase the efficiency of CHF treatment based on parameters of quality of life in CHF patients during and after the treatment with exogenous phosphocreatine (EP).

Material and methods  The effect of a single course of EP treatment on quality of life of patients with functional class (FC) II-IV CHF with reduced or mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction was studied as a part of the all-Russia prospective observational study BYHEART. The presence of FC II-IV CHF and a left ventricular ejection fraction <50 % were confirmed by results of 6-min walk test (6MWT) and findings of echocardiography after stabilization of the background therapy.

Results An interim data analysis showed that the course of EP treatment was associated with a significant improvement of quality-of-life indexes as determined by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (LHFQ) total score. These indexes significantly increased and remained at a satisfactory level for 6 mos. following completion of the treatment course. Also, the treatment significantly beneficially influenced the clinical condition of patients (heart failure severity scale), results of 6MWT, and the increase in left ventricular ejection fraction.

Conclusion      The conclusions based on results of the interim analysis should be confirmed by results of the completed study. Complete results are planned to be published in 2022.

Published: August 2021

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most important risk factors for development of myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, stroke, cognitive disorders and dementia, and chronic kidney disease. Currently, special attention is paid to increased blood pressure variability (BPV) as a new risk factor for development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. The available evidence-based body of clinical studies demonstrates the importance of reducing not only the blood pressure itself but also the increased BPV to provide significant improvement of the prognosis and limits the risk of complications. This notion has been validated in consensus documents on the management of patients with AH. Among antihypertensive drugs, the fixed-dose combination (FC) amlodipine/perindopril has demonstrated a unique capability for reducing all types of BPV (visit-to-visit, day-to-day, during 24 h). According to current clinical guidelines, this combination belongs to first-line FCs indicated for most patients with AH. A distinctive feature of the FC amlodipine/perindopril is numerous data from real-life clinical practice, which support both its high antihypertensive efficacy and the ability to decrease high BPV. Therefore, the FC amlodipine/perindopril can be recommended for a broad range of AH patients to achieve BP control and to improve the prognosis.
The Marsi
Authors: Sagarna Urzelai Inaki
Published: August 2021

Up until now Marsian cultural identity has been approached from an old-fashioned theoretical angle
of autoromanizazzione ("self-Romanization" or "emulation"). This perspective was one
response to the unsatisfactory explanation of the previous paradigm ("Romanization") to assess the
incorporation faced by pre-Roman people. Nonetheless, current scholars have found the "self-Romanization"
approach untenable. This view changes the scope of the agency from Roman to Native in the assimilation process
of the Italians in the Roman culture, turning the whole influence into the Native elites, but all of it has
an irremediable ending of exactly the same cultural convergence. Besides, the concept is still a top-bottom
approach and the knowledge of the final outcome of the process obscures our judgment, taking for granted
cultural behaviors as Roman when those are not necessarily Romans or vice versa.

This work aims to criticize the modern approach of the 1970s epistemology reassessing the Marsian identity
in a new light reconsidering the degree of the Roman agency, as it was more than it was previously thought.
Nonetheless, the high degree of the Native agency in the structuration of the Marsian ethnicity cannot be
neglected, because Marsian identity was a malleable ethnic concept to channel collective supralocal efforts
by indigenous elites. The work offers a new way of understanding the Marsian culture refracted through the
imperialistic lens of Roman authors.

Arab-Muslim Military Ethics in the Arab-Muslim Dynastical Chronicles (Based on the Data Base of the Themes and Narrative Motiffs of the Arab-Muslim Dynastic Chronicles of the 9th–10th Centuries)
Authors: Mikulski Dimitri V.
Published: August 2021

A considerable part of materials, comprising the texts of the Arab-Muslim Dynastical chronicles of the 9th–10th centuries (works, where the Muslim history is narrated according to the reigns of the caliphs) deals with war ethics. The works on history under consideration reveal, that the Arab-Muslims, while at war, were proclaiming certain ethical principles and were to a certain extent fulfilling them. They were aware, that war causes misfortunes and while taking part in it one should rely upon Allah’s will and face death without hesitation. As far as the overwhelmed adversary is concerned, one should treat him mercifully. To mutilate the dead body of a slain enemy is a mean deed. Furthermore, a woman, who finds herself at a military theatre, deserves protection and indulgence. The passages under analysis present not only a rich frame of events, concerning the move of hostilities, but also give mental pabulum for the contemplation over social psychology of the participants of the historical process in the Arab-Muslim world.

Authors: KARPIUK Wojciech , BAJERLEIN Maciej , IDZIOR Marek , SMOLEC Rafał
Published: August 2021

The effect of gas desorption from the solution with nucleation of gas bubbles is a process that allows to improve fuel atomization in diesel engines. The advantage of such a process, which has been experimentally proven, is a significant reduction in harmful emissions. The conducted research highlighted one of the fundamental problems. This problem concerned the injection pump - it was necessary to design a new construction that would be adapted to the desorption effect. The authors of the work proposed a construction based on a hypocycloidal drive. Due to the nature of the process, i.e. the use of exhaust gases dissolved in diesel fuel, it was very important to analyze the volumetric losses of the compression process - this is the main goal of this article. The authors proved that for the adopted design assumptions, the power of volumetric losses resulting from compressibility is 0.25% of the power consumed by the pump.

New materials on the microfauna and lithology of the Kuznetsovskaya and Sedelnikovskaya Formations of the same horizons are presented. These data have allowed us to clarify the age of the boundary Turonian–Coniacian deposits of the Middle and Upper series of the Cretaceous system. Based on a comparison with geological units of marginal regions, where finds of secretion-calcareous foraminiferal shells are known, the Сoniaсian age of the Sedelnikovskaya Formation was established. The time interval of the regional break between the Turonian and Coniacian stages was determined, apparently, corresponding to the Early Сoniacian. The studied sections of the northern region are characterized by the absence of foraminiferal assemblage known in the sections of Kamyshlovskiye wells of the Omsk depression and in some places of the Trans-Urals.

The results of stratigraphic and facies studies of the Callovian and Upper Jurassic of the Kazym-Konda facies region (West Siberia) are presented. The sequence of subdivisions of the boreal zonal standard is established. The section is composed of rocks with predominantly shallow marine genesis; their composition depended on sedimentation cyclicity and sea level fluctuations. The highest incoming rates of sedimentary material were associated with transgressive episodes in the Callovian, Middle Oxfordian and Middle Volgian. Stratigraphic breaks and periods of deficient sedimentation in the Late Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian, Early Volgian and Late Volgian correspond to regressive episodes in the section.

The article is devoted to the overview of the main methods for constructing velocity-depth models (VDM), applied today and the effectiveness of their use in complicated seismic and geological conditions. In the present work, the method of integrated approach is considered along with well-known and generally accepted algorithms. The method of integrated approach is based on a combination of two model-building techniques for the VDM. The concerned approach allows researchers to combine positive aspects of combined methods while leveling their disadvantages. Using the example of real modern data obtained on the territory of East Siberia near fold-thrust dislocations of the Cis-Patom regional trough, the possibility of improving the quality of seismic image is demonstrated due to the use of the integrated approach and tomographic transformations for complexly constructed environments in the process of deep migration.

Notions are substantiated that for a certain group of so-called hydrothermal deposits, not regular lowconcentration hydrothermal solutions, including their more concentrated derivatives, colloids, are not of decisive importance in their formation, but highly concentrated magmatic systems – ore magmas forming deposits by intrusive way, at a time when hydrothermal (including gas-hydrothermal) solutions coexisting with them, being more mobile and chemically active, produce only metasomatic changes in the host rocks and wallrock dissemination, masking the magmatic nature of deposits.

The typification of solid mineral deposits is a leading element in the forecast of mineralization. By analogy with magmatic formations, it is based on the ore formation analysis. However, due to the absence of discrete boundaries between formations, their diagnostics encounters insurmountable difficulties, and the classification becomes dubious and controversial. To solve this urgent problem, it is necessary to have a comprehensive discussion in the circle of leading specialists, just as they did when creating the Petrographic Code.

AbstractBackground : Menopause is a natural period in a woman's life related to hormonal changes and is marked by the cessation of menstruation in the last 12 months and can cause a wide range of sometimes bothersome menopause symptoms. That menopause symptoms associated with several risk factors such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and knowledge. The study aims to identify the relationship of BMI and knowledge with menopause symptoms in the Shafa group Padang Petok Nagari Panti Selatan. Method : This research is analitic observational research with cross sectional approach. The sampling technique was carried out by total sampling consisting of 55 respondents with inclusion criteria menopause women aged 45-65 years who have not experienced dementia, have good awareness and willing to be respondents. Data were obtained by weighing, measuring height and filling out The Menopause Rating Scale to evaluate the severity of menopause-related symptoms by respondents. Afterwards the data was analyzed by the Spearman rho test to see the association between BMI and knowledge with menopause symptoms. Result : The research shows 65,4% respondents with high BMI, 72,7% with lacking of knowledge and 60% with severe menopause symptoms. The results of the Spearman rho test showed a relationship between BMI and menopause symptoms (p value = 0.000), but there is no relationship between knowledge of menopause and menopause symptoms (p= 0,450).  Conclusion : BMI related to menopause symptoms. Menopause women must monitor their weight in an effort to prevent these complaints.

Published: August 2021

Background: We report 3 adults who suffered frostbite of the hand and face following Mount Denali Expedition (6192 meters above sea level). The patients get rewarming and analgetics as a first treatment. All cases presented to our institution on day 11th following the injury. One was performed amputation on day 71st after injury.Methods: All cases received standart antibiotic treatment as well as 3 days hospital observation. At first, no surgery were performed in any case. Regular wound evaluation and rehabilitation then managed in outpatient basis. On day 71st, amputation of 3rd and 4th finger was performed on one patient.Results: All cases showed remarkable improvements of wound epithelialization, resolution of edema, range of motion, and general condition. Demarcation of any devitalized tissue showed clear margination during the period of observation. Such a condition were found in one of the case which showed prominent necrotic part on his 3rd and 4th finger. Hence, we perform debridement and amputation of 3rd and 4th finger.Conclusions: Although frostbite is rare in tropical countries, it may happen in particular those who partake in extreme cold activity such as mountain climbing and winter sports. Prevention and the right management will ensure a good outcome. After an appropriate conservative management at the onset, surgeons must opt for surgical management provided the demarcation of the wound becomes clear. Long-term follow-up management is necessary to achieve a good functional outcome. Preservation and if necessary reconstruction of the finger should become a priority in the patient management.

Electric Injury is a very aggressive burn injury with severe functional and aesthetic consequences caused by progressive and prolonged tissue necrosis. Necrosis that attacks the skeletal muscle can lead to rhabdomyolysis which results in complications if not treated properly. A complicated case of electric injury in Dr. Soebandi Jember General Hospital, a 26 years old man came to the emergency room with complaints of severe shortness of breath and urinary disorders. The patient had a history of having an electric shock in his right hand when turning on the fan a week prior of admission. The examination showed that the patient had bilateral pulmonary effusion, generalized edema and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) which was characterized by oliguria and even anuria accompanied by hematuria. Other symptoms experienced by patients are anterior uveitis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and hematemesis.

Background: Extravasation injury is the most common complication of intravenous therapy in children. Research in the NICU at UK, found extravasation injury caused skin necrotic 38/1000 neonates, 70% of preterm neonates. Extravasation injuries and their sequels can be more serious morbidity than the underlying disease, potentially for amputation. The research objective was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of skin necrotic due to extravasation injury and the types of treatment modalities in the pediatric hospital Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya for the period January - September 2019.Methods: This research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional approach with collected data from medical records. The medical records of 44 pediatric patients undergoing treatment at the pediatric inpatient ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya with skin necrotic due to extravasation injury which was brought to the Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya for the January - December 2019 period was reviewed retrospectively. We analyzed patient characteristics, risk factors, types of wound care therapy modalities, and case outcomes.Results: There were 44 cases of skin necrotic injury due to extravasation injury, with the largest percentage of neonates group (34%), male gender (66%), hypertonic fluids / drugs (73%), most regions of dorsum and wrist dextra (17%) and the most used therapeutic modality was autolytic debridement (45%).Conclusions: From this study, several conclusions can be drawn regarding the prevalence of skin necrotic due to extravasation injury, there was a relationship between the incidence of skin necrotic injury due to extravasation injury with age, types of fluid/drug given, and the location of the peripheral venous line, whereas the incidence was not related to gender. The initial treatment modality that is still frequently used today is autolytic debridement.
