Authors: Hanzhenko O. M. , Honcharuk H. S. , Pravdyva L. A.
Published: November 2023

Purpose. To determine the specifics of the productivity formation in sugar sorghum cultivated on the low fertility soils under the influence of mineral fertilizer doses and sowing dates

Methods. Biological, statistical and mathematical methods were used in the study. Biological methods included field research. The obtained experimental data were processed statistically using descriptive statistics and variance analysis. The yield of biofuel and energy was determined by the calculation method.

Results. On the low fertility soils in the zone of unstable moisture in the western part of the Forest Steppe, the highest yield of bioethanol (1.75 t/ha), biogas (8.6 thousand m3/ha) and solid biofuel (18.5 t/ha) was obtained when sowing seeds of ‘Medovyi F1’ hybrid in the middle of May. The application of fertilizerscontributed to a significant increase in the yield of biofuel and energy. When applying fertilizers at a dose of N80P80K80, the yield of bioethanol per 1 ha increased by 0.5 and 0.6 t/ha, biogas by 2.7 and 3.1 thousand m3/ha, solid biofuel by 4.2 and 4.8 t /ha, and energy yield by 80 and 92 GJ/ha in variety ‘Sylosne 42’ and hybrid ‘Medovyi F1’, respectively. When applying a dose of N160P160K160, the yield of bioethanol increased by 0.3 t/ha, biogas by 2.1 thousand m3/ha, solid biofuel by 3.3 t/ha, and energy yield by 61 GJ/ha. Weather conditions (51.4%), varietal characteristics (17.5%) and fertilizer doses (12.3%) had the greatest influence on energy yield per unit area of sugar sorghum crops.

Conclusions. On low-fertile soils in the zone of unstable moisture, the highest yield of bioethanol (1.75 t/ha), biogas (8.6 thousand m3/ha) and solid biofuel (18.5 t/ha) was obtained by sowing seeds of the hybrid ‘Medovyi F1 in the middle of May. When applying fertilizers at a dose of N80P80K80, the yield of bioethanol increased by 0.5 and 0.6 t/ha, biogas by 2.7 and 3.1 thousand m3/ha, and solid biofuel by 4.2 and 4.8 t /ha in variety ‘Sylosne 42’ and hybrid ‘Medovyi F1’, respectively.

Authors: Nosov M. H.
Published: November 2023

Purpose. Today, the search, research and implementation of new technologies for the production of solid fuel is important for the agro-industrial complex and renewable energy. Sorghum is considered as a strategic crop in the provision of feedstock for bioenergy and reclamation of degraded soils. The purpose of the study was to study and select the material for the creation of high-yielding hybrids of sugar and grain sorghum for the production of solid biofuel.

Materials and methods. The two-year results of the sorghum variety test at the Synelnykivska Experimental Station are highlighted. 68 samples were studied. They had a yield of green mass in the range of 23–79 t/ha.

Results. F1 hybrids (Nyzk.93s x Karlykove 45) formed the highest average yield of green mass — 65.2 t/ha; F1(Early776s x Karlykove 45) — 61.4 t/ha and F1(Dn71s x Karlykove 45) — 60.1 t/ha. The yield of hybrids Mammoth and F1(A158x Karlykove 45) was slightly lower, and amounted to 53.3 and 52.8 t/ha, respectively. F1 (Nyzkorosle 93s x Karlykove 45) stood out according to the average yield of dry matter of green mass — 17.6 t/ha; F1 (Dn17s x Karlykove 45) — 13.8 t/ha. According to the average indicators of the yield of solid fuel from 1 ha, the combinations F1 (Nyzk.93s x Karlykove 45) were the best — 12 t/ha; F1 (Dn17s x Karlykove 45) — 8.2 t/ha; F1 (Early 776s x Karlykov 45) — 7.9 t/ha. The best indicators in terms of energy output were the following combinations: F1(Low 93s x Karlykove 45) — 197.7 Gj/ha, F1(Dn71s x Karlykove 45) –135.5 Gj/ha, F1(Early 776s x Karlykove 45) — 129 Gj/ha.

Conclusions. High-yielding sorghum hybrids are the most economical and energetically expedient measures to provide feedstock for the bioenergy industry. A selected hybrid for the bioenergy application F1 (Nyzkorosle 93s x Karlykove 45) differs from the standard in terms of productivity and manufacturability. The value of the Karlykove 45 variety as a pollinator for the creation of hybrids for solid biofuel was also clarified. The agricultural sector of Ukraine has enough potential resources for biofuel production.

Published: November 2023

As estrias são lesões lineares que surgem na pele a partir do rompimento de fibras de elastina e colágeno, sendo diferenciadas em rubras, quando a lesão ainda está passando pelo processo de inflamação e albas quando a lesão cicatriza de forma que as fibras de colágeno estão reduzidas e desalinhadas, assim como as fibras de elastina. Embora não sejam prejudiciais à saúde, as pessoas que possuem estrias geralmente buscam tratamentos para amenizar o aspecto e tamanho da lesão, uma vez que causam grande desconforto do ponto de vista estético. Dentre os tratamentos, o microagulhamento é amplamente conhecido e requisitado, pois induz a produção de colágeno e ameniza o aspecto da pele. A evolução tecnológica traz a dermapen como um aprimoramento da técnica de microagulhamento, sendo universal, acessível e promovendo melhores resultados para o tratamento de estrias. A partir do mecanismo de ação da técnica, as lesões criadas pela dermapen permitem a associação de ácidos para potencializar os resultados, uma vez que conseguem permear melhor a derme, atingindo camadas mais profundas. Os ácidos ascórbico e hialurônico induzem a síntese de colágeno e fibras de elastina, enquanto o ácido hialurônico tem grande papel na hidratação da pele, o ácido ascórbico atua na captação de radicais livres, sendo eficazes no tratamento de estrias, principalmente quando associados a dermapen.
Migraciones, trabajo familiar y género: la horticultura en general Pueyrredon
Authors: Blanco Rodríguez Guadalupe
Published: November 2023

La tesis abordó el trabajo remunerado, doméstico y de cuidado que realizan las mujeres bolivianas y sus hijas en las quintas hortícolas de General Pueyrredon, poniendo en el centro del análisis a las personas y sus trayectorias. El foco estuvo en las experiencias de los trabajadores dentro de sus grupos domésticos y a las interacciones que establecen con la colectividad y los agentes estatales que circulan en el cordón frutihortícola, para observar las desigualdades y asimetrías que se constituyen entre ellos. La superposición de los espacios domésticos y de trabajo para el mercado que sucede en las quintas fue central para la tesis. En esa superposición, las actividades de la “vida pública” – trabajo remunerado- y de la “vida privada” –trabajo doméstico y de cuidado- se realizan en simultáneo y producen distintos efectos en sus trayectorias migratorias y laborales. En ese contexto, mostramos la división sexual del trabajo, los cambios que produjo en ella la mercantilización del trabajo de producción luego de la migración, mientras que analizamos como esa división sexual del trabajo, el estatus en lo familiar y la generación tienen efectos en el acceso a recursos y a las decisiones sobre el trabajo remunerado familiar.  Por último, analizamos las formas en que los agentes estatales intervienen produciendo sentidos sobre el cuidado y la crianza en el marco de esa superposición de trabajos con jornadas extendidas y exigencias estacionales.

Authors: Varughese Aleena , B. Kotian Greeshma , L.S. Hallur Raghavendra , Shantaram Manjula
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: “SARS-CoV-2” (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus -2), a member of the coronavirus family, is the culprit behind COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). We intended to examine the risk factors for infection in patients presenting with corona virus in the emergency department and to report electrolyte disturbance, coagulopathy, procalcitonin, and mortality in COVID-19 patients. The aim was to examine how electrolytes, coagulation parameters, and procalcitonin are associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19.
 
Materials and Methods: Retrospective observational analysis, information on 106 individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection was gathered, and survivors and non-survivors were further identified. Continuous parametric variables were statistically reported as Mean ±SD. Analysis was done on the relationship between biochemical markers and mortality.
 
Results: Substantially low Sodium (P = 0.09), Potassium (P = 0.01), and Chloride (P = 0.000) levels were identified in ‘severe COVID-19 patients’ with survivors than in non-survivors, although the p-value for chloride was significantly connected with non-survivors. No statistically significant data were reported for Prothrombin Time (PT). In patients in the survival group, there was an elevated International Normalized Ratio (INR) with a 0.05 p-value and a significant correlation (p = 0.04). With a p-value of 0.01 in both survivors and non-survivors, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was marginally elevated dimer values were discovered to be noticeably higher in both survivors and non-survivors, and they were substantially connected with a p-value of 0.05. With a p-value of 0.01 the surviving group was shown to have higher procalcitonin levels.
 
Conclusion: This analysis demonstrates that the extremity of COVID-19 is linked to acid-base imbalance, coagulopathy, and death.

People of all ages are becoming more and more addicted to stimulant medicines and energy drinks for a variety of reasons, including work, sports, and leisure. There are several formulations with different flavors available on the market. Many of these items contain extremely high levels of caffeine as well as a wide range of stimulants that have an array of effects on various body areas. Caffeine use in such excess has been known to produce rhythm disturbances of the heart in healthy people, and when mixed with other stimulants, it can have a range of negative consequences on the way the body functions. Those who use it excessively daily, however, are unaware of the potentially fatal risks linked to these items. We describe a case of a 27-year-young man who presented with new-onset supraventricular tachycardia due to excessive consumption of energy pills that contained high amounts of caffeine. This individual had no significant past medical history and was not a smoker or a regular alcohol drinker.

Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: Breast cancer is characterized by the abnormal growth of malignant cells within breast tissue, which can originate from either the ductal epithelium or its lobules. The Sterculia quadrifida R.Br plant has been widely used by the urban community as a medicine for jaundice, ulcers, stamina enhancer, postpartum antiseptic and several other indications of disease. The plant contains a class of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes and saponins. The objective of this study is to assess the anti-cancer activity of the ethanolic extract of Sterculia quadrifida R.Br from Semau Island, Kupang Regency, Indonesia, specifically on T47D cells, and to determine the IC50 value.
 
Materials and Methods: The design of this study is experimental which employed the extraction process, maceration using 96% ethanol. After 24 hours, it was filtered to obtain 96% ethanol filtrate. Additionally, the compound groups present in the extract were characterized through visual observations under visible light, UV light at 254 nm, UV light at 365 nm, as well as visualization using various spray reagents including Dragendorff, FeCl3, 2,4-DNPH, vanillin-sulfuric acid, anisaldehyde-sulfuric acid, and cerium sulfate.
 
Results: Notably, changes in the morphology and color of T47D cells were observed following their exposure to the 96% ethanol extract of Sterculia quadrifida stem bark. The IC50 value analysis in the cytotoxic test involved converting the absorbance data obtained from the test into percentages representing cell viability. Furthermore, the IC50 value, which quantifies the concentration of the extract required to inhibit the growth of T47D cells by 50%, was determined to be 211.4 µg/ml.
 
Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be inferred that the 96% ethanol extract of Sterculia quadrifida stem bark exhibits anti-cancer properties against T47D cells.

Introduction:  Evidence suggests that patients with diabetes who developed the COVID-19 infection are known to have glycaemic instability, impaired immunity and associated comorbidities such as heart diseases and obesity leading to increased risk of mortality. Hence the current study was planned to assess the factors affecting mortality in diabetic COVID-19 patients admitted in tertiary care hospitals in South India.
 
Methods: This was a retrospective study involving diabetic COVID-19 patients hospitalized in South India, data was collected from hospital records using pre-tested semi-structured validated questionnaire from January 2021 to February 2022.
 
Results: Out of 397 study patients, 66% (263) them were males. Mean age of the patients was 61± 11.6, male 60.6±11.8, and female was 61.5±11.3. Most common presenting symptoms were fever 62% (235), cough 47% (172), breathlessness 42% (149), followed by weakness 29% (114). 46% (184) patients had uncontrolled diabetes. Co-morbidity like hypertension etc., were seen in 63% (250) of the patients. Saturation below 93% was seen in 20% (75) patients. 26% (69) were on ventilators, 48(42%) were admitted in intensive care unit. Laboratory profile showed high C-reactive protein in (86%) 264, elevated D-dimer in 86% (240), low lymphocyte in 46% (182), elevated ferritin in 63% (177), high neutrophil in 30% (118) and low Hb in 24% (85). Radiological finding shows interstitial opacity in 58 % (148) and CT-ground glass opacity in 21% (86). Complications like acute kidney injury were seen in 29% (115) and acute respiratory distress in 10% (39). The case fatality rate was 14% (56). Elevated neutrophil, elevated aspartate aminotransferase, low oxygen saturation was found to be significantly associated with mortality in COVID-19 diabetic patients.
 
Conclusion: In diabetic COVID 19 patients elevated aspartate alanine transaminase, neutrocytosis and oxygen saturation below 93% are independent risk factors for mortality.
Molecular detection and expression of virulence factor encoding genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical samples
Authors: Ghaffar Husain Alyaa , Abdullah Laftaah Alrubaii Bahaa
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factors genes are a growing concern as they are involved not only in its pathogenicity, but also cause bacterial resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics. Laboratory identification of clinical isolates carrying the virulence genes would be critical in limiting the bacteria's spread and reducing its pathogenicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate a simple and inexpensive real-time PCR test to find the level of expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence genes before and after treatment with specific concentration of Lactobacillus acidophilus cell-free supernatants (CFSs). 
 
Materials and Methods: Between December 2021 and June 2022, 350 clinical samples collected from Baghdad hospitals, Iraq, were tested for the presence of P. aeruginosa. The P. aeruginosa isolated were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. P. aeruginosa virulence genes were detected by using the reverse transcription-PCR method. The expression levels of these genes before and after treatment with Lactobacillus acidophilus cell-free supernatants were measured by real-time PCR.
 
Results: Out of 350 samples tested, 60 isolates were positive for the presence of P. aeruginosa. Antibiotic susceptibility tests revealed a high level of antibiotic resistance, while genetic techniques identified the presence of several virulence genes that exhibited variable expression under the influence of Lactobacillus acidophilus supernatants.
 
Conclusion: The study findings showed that L. acidophilus supernatants had an effect on reducing the expression of certain virulence genes of P. aeruginosa, implying that L. acidophilus could be used as an option in treating P. aeruginosa infection.

Introduction and Aim: Although the pathophysiological processes underlying the association between congestive heart failure (CHF) and osteoporosis (OP) are unknown, there is evidence that several changes observed in CHF may play a role in bone loss. The objective of the study is to examine the impact of soluble TNF-alpha receptor 1 (sR1-TNF-alpha) and soluble TNF-alpha receptor 2 (sR2-TNF-alpha) on the risk of fractures in patients with OP associated with CHF and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
 
Methods: This study included 178 women aged 50–65 years, divided into four groups. Group 1 consisted of 48 women diagnosed with HF and T2DM. Group 2 included 93 patients with OP and HF. Group 3 consisted of 37 women with OP, HF, and T2DM.
 
Results: The levels of sR1-TNF-alpha and sR2-TNF-alpha in patient groups 1 through 3 were significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.01). Furthermore, it was demonstrated that patients in group 3 had much greater levels of both receptors than those in groups 1 and 2.
 
Conclusion: High levels of sR1-TNF-alpha and sR2-TNF-alpha in postmenopausal women with CHF are associated with an increased risk of a poor outcome during OP.

Introduction and Aim: Cesarean sections (CS) are a medically indicated and effective method for reducing maternal and perinatal mortality. The incidence of CS has increased in developed as well as developing countries over the past few decades. The objective of this study is to analyze the distribution of births according to the Robson classification and to assess ways to reduce the frequency of CS.
 
Methods: This is a retrospective study based on records of the delivery histories of 18,125 female patients in the maternity department of the Kyrgyz Research Center for Human Reproduction, conducted using Robson classification.
 
Results: However, the parameters also showed a statistically significant decrease in the highest number of patients in group 3 by -18.9% (from 40.6% to 32.9%) and group 1 by -9.9% (from 29.2% to 26.3%) in 2022 compared to 2016, p<0.001. Despite their low specific weights, the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 groups showed a significant increase despite their small numbers.
 
Conclusion: Despite their low proportion but massive increase in indicators, the small number of groups 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 may contribute to perinatal mortality and morbidity, highlighting the need for rigorous monitoring and control of pregnant women in these groups.
Incrementos de patrimonio
Authors: Sanz Gadea Eduardo
Published: November 2023

Creo que puede ser útil al lector, antes de adentrarse en la tupida selva de las normas tributarias, refrescar algunos conocimientos de la teoría de la Hacienda Pública, porque cuando se aborda el tema de las plusvalías, incrementos de patrimonio en la terminología legal, nos invade la perplejidad pues encontramos tanto partidarios de su exoneración como de su gravamen más intenso respecto de las rentas ordinarias. De entrada ya nos tropezamos con un inconveniente, porque la distinción entre rentas ordinarias y plusvalías no es absolutamente nítida. Pero, dejando aparte esta cuestión para abordarla más adelante, me parece interesante reproducir un texto del maestro Luigi Einaudi, no por olvidado menos cierto:
«Si el propietario de la isla de Manhatan, sobre la cual está construida la mayor parte de la ciudad de Nueva York, se hubiere quedado dormido hace cien años y se despertara hoy, se encontraría dueño de un terreno de valor enorme, sin ningún acto de su parte. El aumento de valor se obtiene durmiendo, sin que el propietario que lo disfruta haya hecho nada para ello. Es la ciudad misma la que hace aumentar el valor … . Los valores creados por la sociedad deben volver a ella».
Luigi Einaudi, que no puede ser sospechoso de tendencias socializantes, recordemos que fue ministro del cuarto gabinete de De Gasperi, percibía con claridad que las plusvalías, en el ejemplo que pone eventualmente obtenidas a muy largo plazo, debían ser gravadas. Ahora bien, testigo de la crisis monetaria que se produjo con posterioridad a la Gran Guerra, observó que «cuando se debe gravar una diferencia entre el valor del tiempo A y el valor del tiempo B, hay forzosamente que tener presente las variaciones monetarias, complicando el sistema tributario para reducir los valores a un denominador común».
La escisión de sociedades
Authors: Niño Amo M.ª Martina
Published: November 2023

La escisión, al igual que la fusión, constituye un poderoso instrumento al servicio de las empresas, permitiéndolas adecuar sus estructuras productivas a las necesidades del mercado en cada momento, y esa necesidad de adaptación es innegable en el caso español, desde hace unos años, de cara a integrarnos en el mítico mercado único europeo en óptimas condiciones de productividad y competitividad.
Pero, mientras que los procesos de fusión han sido objeto de mención en todos los medios informativos, especializados o no, debido quizás a la existencia de determinados casos que han levantado una gran polémica, sobre todo en el sector bancario, la escisión por contra no ha recibido apenas atención.
Sin embargo, esta institución ha servido para reorganizar las estructuras productivas de importantes empresas españolas; así puede mencionarse la de Explosivos Riotinto, en la década de los ochenta, y más recientemente, se encuentra en fase de ejecución, la de Campsa, con separación de los activos comerciales, gasolineras y otros puntos de venta, de los logísticos, oleoductos y otros puntos de distribución que permanecerán en la compañía.

1.er Premio Revista Estudios Financieros 1993.Modalidad: Contabilidad.
El objeto del presente trabajo, no es otro que el de fijar unos criterios de partida para la elaboración de una metodología de Análisis de Estados Financieros. Estos han de quedar basados en una propuesta coherente y razonada de clasificación del Balance y la Cuenta de Resultados, cuidando no perder la visión sobre la ligazón natural que debe existir entre ambos estados a la hora de interpretarlos y analizarlos y, por tanto, investigar los orígenes, causas y consecuencias de determinados hechos acaecidos en la empresa, y que pueden condicionar su futuro.
La razón y justificación de estas páginas puede encontrarse en lo siguiente:
– Dado que una base de datos de innegable trascendencia para el analista externo va a estar constituida por las Cuentas Anuales, que se elaboran de acuerdo con lo establecido en nuestra legislación mercantil y contable y se depositan en los distintos Registros Mercantiles, se hace necesario una previa reclasificación de las mismas sobre la base de criterios económicos y en función de la metodología a aplicar posteriormente, dadas, entre otras, las ciertas limitaciones poseídas por los estados contables en su presentación y clasificación, así como algunas impuestas por la necesaria adaptación a la IV Directiva y a la Ley 19/1989 sobre Adaptación de nuestra Legislación Mercantil a las Directivas Comunitarias.– El estudio y reflexión efectuado sobre los distintos manuales existentes acerca de la disciplina de Análisis Contable, nos llevó a la conclusión de que los distintos tratamientos de conceptos como rentabilidad y solvencia, muchas veces diferentes en cuanto a la forma, y otras en cuanto al fondo, utilizan como base de referencia puntos de partida (clasificaciones de activo y pasivo) excesivamente simplistas y lejos de los que el Analista encontrará posteriormente en la realidad, conclusión esta puesta ya de manifiesto por otros profesores universitarios.– A modo de ejemplo, incluimos en el trabajo una metodología de análisis de la Rentabilidad Financiera y Económica sobre la base de las clasificaciones de activos, pasivos y resultados propuestas. Dicha metodología será la base justificativa de las ordenaciones planteadas.

El segundo párrafo del artículo 48. Uno e) se refiere a los supuestos de escisión, fusión o absorción de sociedades.
En los supuestos citados, los socios entregan acciones representativas del capital social de las entidades disueltas o escindidas y reciben acciones representativas del capital social de las entidades beneficiarias de la fusión, absorción o escisión. Refiriéndose a la fusión, el artículo 235 de la Ley de Sociedades Anónimas dice que el proyecto de fusión contendrá «el tipo de canje de las acciones que se determinará sobre la base del valor real del patrimonio social…», y haciendo lo propio con la escisión, el artículo 252.2 de la misma ley afirma que «las acciones o participaciones sociales de las sociedades beneficiarias de la escisión deberán ser atribuidas en contraprestación a los accionistas de la sociedad que se escinde …».
Ese canje de valores determina una alteración en la composición del patrimonio poniéndose de manifiesto un incremento o una disminución de patrimonio por diferencia «entre el valor de adquisición de los títulos, derechos o valores representativos de la participación del socio y el valor de los títulos, numerario o derechos recibidos».
La responsabilidad en materia de accidentes de trabajo por descubiertos en la cotización
Authors: Cea Ayala Ángel
Published: November 2023

Dentro del Derecho de Seguridad Social el Accidente de Trabajo, una vez producido, origina un conjunto de obligaciones y responsabilidades que pueden recaer sobre cualquiera delas partes implicadas, bien empresario, Mutua de Accidentes de Trabajo, o Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social bien como Entidad aseguradora, bien como Fondo de Garantía de Accidentes de Trabajo, y la Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social de cara al pago de las prestaciones de Seguridad Social tanto al propio trabajador accidentado como a otros posibles beneficiarios.
Tal vez entre los temas más conflictivos dentro de la responsabilidad en orden a las prestaciones de Seguridad Social, en los supuestos de Accidentes de Trabajo, sea el relativo a los descubiertos en la cotización, pago de las primas, a las que está obligado el empresario.

La crisis económica, y más allá de la crisis, las actuales exigencias de la competitividad derivadas de la internacionalización de los mercados y, en concreto, de la integración española en el Mercado Unico Europeo, han forzado un fenómeno de ajuste de las instituciones, principios y estructuras normativas del Derecho del Trabajo clásico a las nuevas circunstancias sociales y económicas, provocando un intenso y apasionado debate doctrinal en torno a la oportunidad, valoración y alcance de las transformaciones habidas en este sector del ordena-miento por imperativos de la crisis.
