Published: September 2022

In the midst of a pandemic crisis like this that has not yet subsided, the government has carried out medical treatment in various regions. Not only that, medical treatment is deemed insufficient to ward off the covid 19 virus. Therefore, traditional treatment is needed as an alternative that can be used in the community to increase body immunity in order to break the chain of transmission of covid 19 that occurs in Indonesian society. Therefore, people entrust traditional herbal medicine as an ingredient to increase body immunity during a pandemic like the current one, which is to ward off various diseases, especially the current troubling conditions. So the purpose of writing this community service program is to optimize herbal medicine as the use of herbal drinks in increasing body immunity. In the process of making herbal medicine, it cannot be separated from the cultivation of family medicinal plants or toga such as turmeric, temulawak, ginger, basil, lime and tamarind. This outreach and counseling is targeted at the general public, especially in the Kraksaan, Probolinggo, where understanding and knowledge related to herbal medicine is more realized from disseminating video tutorials for making herbal medicine, which is expected to be used by the community in their respective homes to prevent transmission covid 19 virus.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of different intravaginal treatment strategies on the vaginal discharge score, vaginal microbiota, bacterial and Enterobacteriaceae counts in nulliparous Merino ewes. All ewes (n=45) received intravaginal sponges containing 60 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate for 7 days and allocated into three equal groups (n=15). Sponges were injected Lactobacillus plantarum cell-free supernatant (SUPER), enrofloxacin (ENRO), or physiologic saline (CON) prior to sponge insertion. At sponge removal, 500 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) were administered in all ewes. For the detection of vaginal microbiota, bacterial and Enterobactericeae counts, samples were collected prior to sponge insertion, at sponge withdrawal, and 48 h later after sponge withdrawal. Vaginal discharge score was not different in ENRO (2.26±0.18) and SUPER (2.20±0.14) compared to CON (2.46±0.16). The time-dependent alteration was significant for the mean bacterial and Enterobacteriaceae count in all groups (P

Published: September 2022

Bladder cancer accounts for 50–70% of all malignant diseases of genital urinary system and 4% of all oncological diseases. It is well known, that in Ukraine men have such pathology 4 times more often than women and, unfortunately, up to 22% of patients die within the first year after confirmed diagnosis.
The basic criteria of treatment effectiveness of the patients with oncological diseases are not only the rate of their survival, but also their quality of life. One of the main types of treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy with different variants of urinary diversion. The morphological changes in the muscle layer of the neobladder can cause deviations in the regulations of its contractility. This evolution of the smooth muscle wall demonstrates the electrophysiological contractility features of the neobladder compared to the ileum.
The objective: to analyze the pathogenetic moments of the smooth muscle contractility regulation of the artificial bladder.
Materials and methods. The experimental study on female mini-pigs aged 16–19 months, with weight 30–40 kg, the duration of the study was 12 months.
The experimental model of the artificial bladder was performed by cystectomy in animals following by the terminal ileum of the neocyst, its anastomosis with the ureters, urethra under the anesthesia.
After the forming of the neobladder the experimental animals had anesthesia with tiopental, and the neocyst and part of the ileum were removed, in one year. The experiments were carried put on the 18 pairs of specimens: isolated strips of the small intestine of mini-pigs and strips of the wall of the artificial bladder.
Results. It was determined that spontaneous activity of the ileum and neobladder smooth muscles in 12 months has different indices. During the experiment the spontaneous activities of longitudinal smooth muscles (SM) of the ileum and neobladder were compared. It was determined that the spontaneous contractions of the neobladder SM are significantly different from the strip ileum contraction in control by larger amplitude and the complex shape.
Conclusions. The hypertrophic growth of smooth muscles (SM) is a complex dynamic phenomenon that includes not only the structural changes, but also the complex physiological processes, namely aimed at transforming the part of the intestines to perform a new function of the urinary reservoir. The artificial bladder performs the functions of the natural bladder, there by making the life easier for a patient.
The study of smooth muscle contractive activity regulation mechanisms under the influence of nervous and humoral systems will allow to expand the methods of its correction.
Impact of guttation fluid from perennial ryegrass infected with different strains of Epichloe festucae var. lolii endophyte on Microctonus aethiopoides adult longevity
Authors: Gerard Philippa J. , Hiszczyńska-Sawicka Ela
Published: September 2022

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) grows in association with a fungal endophyte Epichloe festucae var. lolii (Latch, Christensen & Samuels) Bacon & Schardl, which produces alkaloids that protect the grass against grazing by mammals and insects. These alkaloids are found in guttation fluid (xylem sap exuded from leaves through special structures known as hydathodes) and have the potential to impact on beneficial invertebrates in pastoral ecosystems. Newly emerged adults of the parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were supplied with guttation fluid from pot-grown ryegrasses infected with three different strains of endophyte (standard, AR37, AR1) or no endophyte collected at different times of the year, or water, sucrose solution or no liquid. Longevity was compared when individuals were held in separate vials in controlled environment room at 20oC with 16:8 h light:dark photoperiod. An enzymatic method was used to measure sugars in guttation fluid samples collected on three dates. Guttation fluid from endophyte-infected grasses was found to have no detrimental effect on M. aethiopoides longevity and to contain glucose and fructose. Guttation fluid from AR37-infected ryegrass collected in autumn increased insect longevity compared to water and fluid from standard-type infected ryegrass by 26% and 24% respectively. The lack of available food sources in New Zealand ryegrass-dominant pastures means that guttation fluid from AR37-infected ryegrass in autumn may contribute to M. aethiopoides efficacy as a biocontrol agent through enhanced longevity.

The production of apparel and footwear has a significant impact on the environment. In 2016, these two product categories accounted for about 8 % of global climate emissions. To reach global emission goals, different production strategies are required. As an additive manufacturing process, 3D printing offers the possibility of mass customisation by combining the cost advantages of mass production and the individualisation of custom-made products. We present an approach to using FFF 3D printers to produce complete shoes, eliminating the need for auxiliary materials and many manufacturing steps. Here, mass customisation is done by adapting digital shoe models to customers' foot scans, creating individualised one-off pieces. Considering only the production process, emissions from a pair of 3D printed shoes are slightly higher than conventionally manufactured shoes. Beyond the environmental aspects, 3D printed shoes have advantages in the aspects of social and economic sustainability. The burden on workers can be reduced, and the possibility of decentralised production with comparatively low costs allows more people to participate in the production process actively.
Reciprocal Learning in Human-Machine Collaboration: A Multi-Agent System Framework in Industry 5.0
Authors: Nixdorf Steffen , Ansari Fazel , Schlund Sebastian
Published: September 2022

The increasing skill mismatch in manufacturing workforce is raising demand for training opportunities to cope with advanced manufacturing systems. To maintain production and adjust quickly to technological transformation, innovative work-based learning approaches are emphasized. Intelligent machines are becoming capable of interaction and collaboration with humans. They not only introduce a new type of learnable workforce to manufacturing but may open opportunities to enhance learning of all learners. Symbiotic relationships of humans and machines have wide potential for human-centric manufacturing (aka Industry 5.0). Moreover, connecting smart devices and deploying self-learning solutions is envisioned to increase flexibility of manufacturing, thus changing work division between humans and machines. Where humans and machines collaborate, the term Reciprocal Learning has been coined to describe the process of bidirectional learning. While a definition of Reciprocal Learning exists the boundary conditions of the concept are still ambiguous. In this paper, a framework for Reciprocal Learning in Human-Machine Collaboration for Industry 5.0 is presented to clarify what it is and what it isn’t. The approach is based on a multi-agent system perspective, comprising human and machine agents. Finally, an outlook on future research is presented.

Smith et al. (2019) found standing resulted in better performance than sitting in three different cognitive control paradigms: a Stroop Task, a task-switching, and a visual search paradigm. Here, we conducted close replications of the authors’ three experiments using larger sample sizes than the original work. Our sample sizes had essentially perfect power to detect the key postural effects reported by Smith et al. (2019). Results from our experiments revealed that, in contrast to Smith et al., the postural interactions were quite limited in magnitude in addition to being only a fraction of the size of the original effects. Moreover, our results from Experiment 1 are consistent with two recent replications (Caron et al., 2020; Straub et al., 2022) which reported no meaningful influences of posture on the Stroop effect. In all, the current research provides further converging evidence that postural influences on cognition do not appear to be as robust as was initially reported in prior work.

Differential expression of PDC in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published and public data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of PDC, encoding phosducin, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (sALS). PDC was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with familial ALS. PDC transcript was present at significantly lower levels in sALS patient fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.
Red background color enhances dominance perception of faces and shapes
Authors: Chen Na , Yang Yidie , Kobayashi Maiko , Nakamura Koyo , Watanabe Katsumi
Published: September 2022

Red color signals dominance in both non-human primates and humans. This study examined whether red background color influences the perception of dominance of human faces. Face stimuli were computer-generated faces whose dominance dimension was morphed monotonically from obedient to dominant. The face stimulus was presented with three background colors (i.e., red, green, and gray). Participants were instructed to categorize the face stimulus as obedient or dominant by pressing one of two labelled keys. Results showed that face dominance was affected by the background colors and that an ambiguous face stimulus with a red background color was perceived as dominant more frequently than with green and gray background colors. Those results suggest that red background color enhances the perception of dominance of human faces, perhaps through top-down processing, which may be related to evolutionary roots and learned red-dominance associations.
People with higher autistic traits show stronger binding for color–shape associations
Authors: Chen Na , Watanabe Katsumi , Spence Charles , Wada Makoto
Published: September 2022

Non-synesthetes exhibit a tendency to associate specific shapes with particular colors (i.e., circle–red, triangle–yellow, and square–blue). Such color–shape associations (CSAs) could potentially affect the feature binding of colors and shapes, thus resulting in people reporting more binding errors in the case of incongruent, rather than congruent, colored-shape pairs. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit atypical sensory processing and impaired multisensory integration. These features may also affect CSAs. Here, we examined whether autistic traits (Autism-Spectrum Quotient; AQ) influence the strength of color–shape associations, as evidenced by the occurrence of binding errors. Participants took part in an experiment designed to reveal binding errors in visual working memory induced by incongruent and congruent colored-shape pairs, and completed the AQ–50 Japanese version. The results revealed a significant correlation between AQ scores and occurrence of binding errors when participants were presented with the circle–red and triangle–yellow CSAs: That is, individuals with higher autistic traits tend to make more binding errors in incongruent minus congruent colored-shape pairs for circle and triangle, indicating a stronger binding of circle–red and triangle–yellow associations. These results therefore suggest that autistic traits play a role in forming color–shape associations, shedding light on the nature of both color–shape associations and autistic perception.
Healthcare Providers’ Strategies for Conducting Virtual Examinations and Opportunities for Telemedicine Beyond COVID-19
Authors: Studd Hannah
Published: September 2022

Objective: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many appointments were replaced with virtual visits via telemedicine. This rapid implementation affords us the opportunity to explore telemedicine use in daily healthcare, which will allow us to better design telemedicine for long-term use. We set out to understand how providers use telemedicine tools and to surface opportunities to improve these services. Materials and Methods: We conducted an online questionnaire between June and August, 2020. The questionnaire included open-ended questions about providers’ experiences with telemedicine, including situations appropriate and inappropriate for virtual visits and workarounds developed to mitigate challenges with telemedicine. 114 providers took part in the study, and 97 responded to all questions.Results: The most commonly reported challenge with telemedicine was the inability to perform examinations. Providers independently developed strategies to help them better conduct exams. These strategies point to opportunities for sharing telemedicine strategies across healthcare practices and ways in which telemedicine tools may be improved to align with providers’ needs. Discussion: Telemedicine is not currently suitable for physical examinations, leading providers to create their own workarounds to help them better conduct exams virtually. These workarounds present opportunities to improve virtual care by turning workaround strategies into deliberate telemedicine features. Conclusion: Healthcare delivery is becoming increasingly virtual, which can greatly improve healthcare access. It is necessary to apply what we have learned from the quick uptake of telemedicine during the pandemic to improve these platforms for long-term use. Incorporating lessons learned from provider-developed workarounds may help promote sustained use of telemedicine.
Investigating the Dimensions of Mind Perception
Authors: McMurtrie Brandon
Published: September 2022

Mind perception is the ability to infer the presence of a mind in other beings or non-living things (i.e., a tree, an animal, a robot) and make judgements about what "kind" of mind that being possesses. Research has shown that there is a dimensionality to the schema of mind perception, though the number of dimensions is debated. The present study aimed to explore the dimensions via a mind perception scale that measures participants’ perceptions of mental capacities (n = 181). The data was highly suited for factor analysis, so principal axis factoring and multiple criteria were used to find the retained factors. Findings suggest a two-dimensional model of mind perception, supporting the field’s landmark study by Gray et al. (2007).

Despite the epic’s authorship likely being 5,000 years ago, The Epic of Gilgamesh’s methods of storytelling, and the way it introduces one of the main characters – Enkidu – is incredibly similar to the modern oral tradition of storytelling that is Dungeons & Dragons. This leads the game of Dungeons & Dragons to be an optimal lens of analysis for the question Enkidu’s creation poses: specifically the question of virtue in civilization versus the wilderness. The purpose of this paper is to do a close reading of lines I.94 to I.133 of the 2003 Penguin Books translation of The Epic of Gilgamesh to substantiate the validity of using Dungeons & Dragons for a framework of analysis.

Authors: Widła Halina
Published: September 2022

The article compares the results of the research conducted at the end of the winter semester 2019/2020 with the results from March 2021 as an extended teaching for the validity of extending the teaching offer for modern language studies by including innovative solutions using distance learning methods and techniques, with additional comments at the end of 2021. The opinions of 50 second-year students on the usefulness and effectiveness of IT innovations in lectures, seminars and practical language learning exercises were surveyed. The research showed that the pandemic situation verified students’ perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of remote working. The data are also commented on by lecturers. It turns out that in all three types of classes, the opinions of students and staff range from moderately neutral at the beginning of 2020 towards teaching innovations, through more sceptical in March 2021 after the large-scale introduction of e-learning, to more favourable towards online innovations after a year of experience gained in 2021. Despite this general trend, there are considerable differences in the opinions of students and lecturers depending on the nature of the classes.
Distance Education Along with Pedagogical and Psychological Assistance for SEN Students on the Example of the City of Gliwice
Authors: Szafrańska Anida
Published: September 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, students with special education needs, including students with disabilities, found themselves in a particularly vulnerable position. What raised concern was the organization of remote education for this group of students, the implementation of tasks in the field of psychological and pedagogical assistance, and the effective use of recommendations contained in documents (opinions, decisions on the need for special education, or individual educational and therapeutic programs). The period of the pandemic and closing schools posed new challenges for teachers in organizing education for this group of students and meeting their special and specific educational needs in the online mode. The analyses presented in the article refer to the organization of remote education for students with special educational needs (SEN) and the organization of psychological and pedagogical assistance.

The research objective was to determine the suitability of land regarding physical and economic conditions as a basis to support managers in planning effective agricultural development strategies that are suitable and sustainable for land potential in a future affected by climate change. In this research, physical and socio-economic data were collected by field surveys, household interviews (330 households), and agricultural manager discussions. Additionally, themethodology of land suitability evaluation was based on Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)(1976 & 2007) and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, which were used to determine suitability classifications for land-use types (under different physical and socio-economic conditions) in three coastal districts within the Ben Tre province. The results showed that agricultural production status in the research area was divided into three agro-ecological zones including the freshwater zone, brackish water zone, and saltwater zone of which the highest rate of agricultural land area was aquaculture. The next major proportion of agricultural area belonged to land for planting perennial crops and land for planting annual crops. Besides, 7 and 8 land suitability zones were determined, respectively, depending on physical and economic conditions, for 11 main land-use types. This research contributes toward basic knowledge that aims to support local decision makers in their transformation of agricultural land and adaptation of salinization in the future.
SILICON APPLICATION AND MYCORRHIZA INOCULATION PROMOTED LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA GROWTH IN A SOIL HIGHLY CONTAMINATED BY MANGANESE

ABSTRACT: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase the acquisition of silicon (Si) and, therefore, alleviate the problems caused by metallic toxicity in plants, but this effect remains poorly understood. The objective was to evaluate the influence of Si application on the growth of Leucaena leucocephala inoculated with AMF (Claroideoglomus etunicatum) in a soil contaminated by manganese (Mn). We exposed plants to increasing levels of Si (0, 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1) in the soil for 90 days. Intermediate levels of Si and AMF inoculation significantly increased shoot and root dry mass, the number of sheets, root system length and mycorrhizal colonization. The abundance of AMF spores decreased linearly with increasing levels of Si applied to the soil, suggesting a low correlation with mycorrhizal colonization. In addition to the higher Mn contents in the shoots and, mainly, in the roots, the combined application of Si and inoculation with AMF significantly reduced foliar toxicity by more than 40%, when compared to the absence of Si and AMF inoculation. Our results demonstrated a synergistic effect of AMF and Si in improving the growth and tolerance of L. leucocephala plants in soil contaminated by Mn.

Aplicação de silício e inoculação de micorriza promove crescimento de Leucaena leucocephala em solo altamente contaminado por manganês
 
RESUMO: Os fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMA) podem aumentar a aquisição de silício (Si) e, portanto, amenizar os problemas causados ​​pela toxidez metálica nas plantas, mas esse efeito ainda é pouco conhecido. O objetivo foi avaliar a influência da aplicação de Si no crescimento de Leucaena leucocephala inoculada com FMA (Claroideoglomus etunicatum) em solo contaminado por manganês (Mn). Expusemos as plantas a níveis crescentes de Si (0, 100, 200 e 400 mg kg-1) no solo por 90 dias. Níveis intermediários de Si e inoculação de FMA aumentaram significativamente a massa seca da parte aérea e radicular, o número de folhas, o comprimento do sistema radicular e a colonização micorrízica. A abundância de esporos de FMA diminuiu linearmente com o aumento dos níveis de Si aplicados ao solo, sugerindo uma baixa correlação com a colonização micorrízica. Além dos maiores teores de Mn na parte aérea e, principalmente, nas raízes, a aplicação combinada de Si e inoculação com FMA reduziu significativamente a toxidez foliar em mais de 40%, quando comparada à ausência de Si e inoculação de FMA. Nossos resultados demonstraram um efeito sinérgico de FMA e Si na melhoria do crescimento e tolerância de plantas de L. leucocephala em solo contaminado por Mn.

Published: September 2022

In the paper, the authors consider the issues of migratory moods of rural residents in the Jewish Autonomous region. The analysis made on the base of non-formalized interviews with residents of two rural areas of the region helped in identifying the reasons why the people think of changing their place of residence. It is stated that a significant reason affecting the migration moods is the underdeveloped social-economic conditions in the region. In most cases, however, these ideas are not put into practice.

Authors: Kolobov A.N.
Published: September 2022

Using simulation modeling, the comparative analysis of spruce stands productivity for different planting schemes has been carried out. It is shown that in the absence of external factors, the square planting pattern is optimal, as compared to the rectangular one for obtaining the maximum wood supply. It is shown that in the case of annual impact of external factors, the maximum wood reserves for square and rectangular planting patterns have similar values.

Authors: Kulakov M.P. , Frisman E.Ya.
Published: September 2022

In the paper, the authors investigate the mechanisms leading to genetic divergence, i.e. stable genetic differences between two adjacent populations coupled by migration. It is shown that genetic divergence is stable only for populations that maintain their numbers ratio at a constant level. Otherwise, genetic divergence is possible only as part of the transition process.
