Innovative biomarkers are needed to improve the
management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Blood circulating
miRNAs have been proposed as a potential tool to detect T2DM complications but
the lack of tissue specificity, among other reasons, has hampered their
translation to clinical settings. Extracellular vesicle (EV)-shuttled miRNAs
have been proposed as an alternative approach. Here, we adapted an
immunomagnetic bead-based method to isolate plasma CD31 positive (+)
EVs to harvest vesicles deriving from tissues relevant for T2DM complications. Surface marker
characterization showed that CD31+ EVs were also positive for a
range of markers typical of both platelets and activated endothelial cells. After
characterization, we quantified 11 candidate miRNAs associated with vascular
performance and shuttled by CD31+EVs in a large (n=218),
cross-sectional cohort of patients categorized as T2DM without complications,
T2DM with complications, and controls. We found that 10 of the tested miRNAs
are affected by T2DM, while the signature composed by miR-146a, -320a, -422a,
-451a efficiently identified T2DM patients with complications. Furthermore,
another CD31+EV-shuttled miRNA signature, i.e. miR-155, -320a,
-342-3p, -376, and -422a, detected T2DM patients with a previous major adverse
cardiovascular event. Many of these miRNAs significantly correlate with
clinical variables held to play a key role in the development of complications.
In addition, we show that CD31+ EVs from patients with T2DM are able
to promote the expression of selected inflammatory mRNAs, i.e. CCL2,
IL-1α, and TNFα, when administered to endothelial cells in
vitro. Overall, these data suggest that the miRNA cargo of plasma CD31+
EVs is largely affected by T2DM and related complications, encouraging further research to explore the diagnostic
potential and the functional role of these alterations.

Authors: Solikin Solikin
Published: October 2020

Mistletoe Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.)Miq is a parasitic plant commonly found parasitizing and infesting medicinal plants such as Cassia fistula L. This research aimed to investigate the infestation of D. pentandra on C. fistula on various trees canopy shading, infested host number and plant diversity. Study was conducted in Purwodadi Botanic Garden which located in Purwodadi, Pasuruan, East-Java during January-March 2020. Data Collection was conducted by explorative and descriptive methods in each block locations in the garden. Sampling plots were determined by purposive sampling method using 20x20 m per plot in each block where the tree of C. fistula found. The canopy shading was categorized as : open (4) = light interception more than 90%, rather open (3) = light interception = 60-90%, rather shady (2) = light interception 30-60%, shady (1) (light interception less than 30%). The result showed that the infestation of D. pentandra was affected significanly by the plant canopy shading and the infested host number in the blocks. The highest infestation of misletoe D. pentandra on C. fistula was found in the open canopy and the highest infested host plants in the block III.D with the parasite number 13 per plant. The tree plant diversity in the blocks tend to have negative correlation to the infestation of D. pentandra on C. fistula with r = -0.18.

Social impacts of oil extraction in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria
Authors:   , Achunike Obumneme
Published: October 2020

Oil was discovered in Nigeria in1956 at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta Region after almost 50 years of exploration. Shell-BP at that time, was the sole concessionaire because non-British companies were not given exploration license to operate in Nigeria. After Nigerian Independence in 1960, exploration rights were extended to other multinational oil companies. More than 16 multinational oil companies were in operation with little or no supervision from the Nigerian Government, which created significant environmental, political,and social impact in the region. A critical discourse analysis of documents from Shell, Amnesty International, THISDAY Newspaper revealed that the Nigerian government has failed to safeguard the environment and the lives of the people. On the basis of evidence presented on this research, in addition to literature, it can be argued that oil has turned out to be a curse to the Niger Delta Region and Nigeria in general.
Learning in the Oil Futures Markets: Evidence and Macroeconomic Implications

Published: October 2020

Working Papers 2020-33 October 2020 Learning in the Oil Futures Markets: Evidence and Macroeconomic Implications Sylvain Leduc, Kevin Moran, Robert J. Vigfusson Using expectations embodied in oil futures prices, we examine how expectations are formed and how they affect the macroeconomic transmission of shocks. We show that an empirical framework in which investors form expectations by learning about the persistence of oil-price movements successfully replicates the fluctuations in oil-price futures since the late 1990s. We then embed this learning mechanism in a model with oil usage and storage. Estimating the model, we document that an increase in the persistence of TFP-driven fluctuations in oil demand largely account for investors' perceptions that oil-price movements became increasingly permanent during the 2000s before declining thereafter. We show that the presence of learning alters the macroeconomic impact of shocks, making the responses time-dependent and conditional on the views of economic agents about the shocks' likely persistence.

Published: October 2020

Management of aphid vectors in potato is important for the production of quality seed potato. Aphids are the major vectors of many potato viruses which transmit viral diseases limiting the seed potato production. To explore the area with aphid free/low population a weekly aphid observation was made in major potato growing areas of Chikkaballapur and Chickmagalur districts during rabiand kharif seasons to assess the build-up trends on the standing crop using aphid-leaf count and catches of yellow water pan and yellow sticky traps. Aphid population was below threshold level in the areas surveyed, however in Chickmagalur aphid build-up was erratic due to heavy rain fall followed by dry spells. Harvested potato in Chikkaballapur was treated and stored in cold storage for three months. During June, 50 per cent of the seed stock was transported to Chickmagalur area for planting in kharif season and remaining seed was used for planting in Chikkaballapur area during rabi season. In Chickmagalur, the harvested and treated seed was stored in low cost country potato store for three months and 50 per cent seed from warehouse was transported to Chikkaballapur for rabi planting and remaining seed was planted in Chickmagalur area during November thereby saving nearly 40 per cent of seed cost. Thus, the feasibility supply chain has been established making the local potato growers self-sustainable in quality seed potato production resulting in 30-40 percent seed requirement met locally produced quality seed and non-traditional areas will be brought under potato cultivation. The breeder seed was multiplied under low cost insect proof net houses during rabi season in Chikkaballapur area, harvested seed was stored in cold storage thereafter distributed among the local potato growers for planting during kharif season in Chickmagalur area.
Increasing the Efficacy of GA3 Sprays in Cluster Elongation and Berry Thinning in Tas-A-Ganesh Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in Tropical Viticulture
Authors: Shikhamany S D , Borade V Swapnil , Jeughale K Sanjay , Patil Suryakant Y
Published: October 2020

In view of the stage specificity for the efficacy of blanket sprays of GA3 for berry thinning, a field trial was laid out to achieve uniform flowering in Tas-A-Ganesh grapevines subjected to chemical defoliation prior to and hydrogen cyanamide application at fruit pruning in the double pruning and single cropping system during 2013-14 and 2014-15 fruiting seasons in growers’ vineyards around Nashik, Maharashtra by removing the un-uniformly thick canes. GA3 at different doses was sprayed two or three times to address the variation in uniform flowering, if any in cluster elongation and reducing the berry number/cluster. Cane regulation and GA3 sprays were used to achieve uniformity in bud break and flowering. Cluster compactness was derived by multiplying the number of berries/ cm length of rachis with berry diameter. Regression analysis of the variation has revealed that the cane diameter, through uniformity in bud break, influenced the uniformity in flowering which in turn influenced the cluster compactness through increased efficacy of blanket GA3 sprays in reducing the berry number/ cluster. Based on the optimum values of the contributory factors to cluster compactness, cane removal coupled with two blanket sprays of GA3 @ 30 g a.i./ha or retention of all canes coupled with three blanket sprays of GA3 @ 20 g a.i./ha was found to be ideal to obtain loose to well filled clusters. Taking together into account the effect of treatments on cluster compactness, yield and quality, retention of all canes coupled with three sprays of GA3 @ 20 g a.i./ha was considered appropriate for table grape production in Tas-A-Ganesh cv. of grapes.

Authors: Laishram M , Ghosh S N
Published: October 2020

An investigation was taken up on eight years old seedling trees of jackfruit, planted at 10 x 10 m spacing at the Horticultural Research Station, Mondouri (Nadia, West Bengal) of the Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya with a view to know the effect of different organic manures and inorganic nutrients (N, P and K) on production, fruit quality, soil heath and foliar NPK status. Results from the three consecutive years of investigation, it was revealed that highest dose of NPK (N 500 P300 K300 g/tree/year) resulted in highest yield (76.3 kg / tree) but gave lower BCR (benefit cost ratio) of 1.13 while its lowest dose (N200P100 K100 g/tree/year) gave higher BCR of 2.00. Among the organic manures, vermicompost at 4.00 kg/tree/year produced second higher yield (56.3 kg/tree) with best quality fruits and this treatment resulted in highest BCR of 2.17. Soil NPK status and pH improved under different treatments as compared to respective initial values. Foliar NPK values were differed among the treatments although it could not be correlated to the fruit yield.

Published: October 2020

A purposive sampling survey on the hilly tracts of Wayanad, Kerala revealed the existence ofpowdery mildew disease in gerbera crops, grown under both protected and open field condition.Among the other fungal diseases of gerbera, powdery mildew disease causes decisive damageto the ornamental cut flower crop, thereby decline in the industrial value of the crop. Symptomof the disease include as white powdery mat on the upper surface of leaf lamina that graduallyturned pale yellow to brown. Powdery mildew existed in two locations of Wayanad viz.,Ambalavayal and Chulliyode where highest per cent disease severity (PDS) of 50.72 wasobserved at Chulliyode and 47.2 per cent was observed at Ambalavayal during November-December. In Ambalavayal, the disease was non-significant and no correlation existed betweenweather parameters and disease progress. But, in Chulliyode, correlation studies revealed thatit was significant with positive correlation to relative humidity and a reverse relation existedwith temperature and rainfall. The weather data clearly depicts that at a low rainfall of 96 mmand above average relative humidity of 80.27 per cent during November-December was thecongenial factor influencing the disease development. But during summer, decline in relativehumidity (78.37%) and rainfall (63.13 mm) caused a slight reduction in mean per cent diseaseseverity of 49.12 per cent and 33.6 per cent at Chulliyode and Ambalavayal respectively.Morohological and cultural characters of the pathogen depicts presence of two distinct organismviz., Golovinomyces cichoracearum (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and Podosphaera sp. as thecausative organism of the disease. Golovinomyces cichoracearumproduced hyaline, septatemycelia with globose conidia with irregular peripheral end formed in a chain and Podosphaerasp. produced superficial, hyaline, coenocytic mycelium with oval or ellipsoidal, catenate conidiawith dimension ranging from 22.1-30.18 x 13.36-18.08ìm formed in unbranched erectconidiophores.

Le Multi-Culturel : Entre l’un et le multiple

Published: October 2020

Contemporary debates contrast theories of progressist mondialisation on the one hand and identity resistance of peoples and cultures on the other. Are there no other, more complex and subtle, processes, which could not be reduced neither to identity affirmation based on “the shock of the civilizations” nor to the uniformisation of a model by a dominant power? Many phenomena (migrations) give credit to a third paradigm, that of crossbreeding, coming from the post-colonial movement. Could we consider it as strong, consistant and efficient as it seems at a first glance? We will thus inquire into the epistemological and anthropological conditions under which such a model of harmony between the one and the other, between the universal and the difference, could become operational.

The process of globalization homogenizes the inequality and violence of the capitalist market on a global level while setting in motion a localizing process that invites to explore its critical potential. In what follows, our intention is to make an account of the micro-local transformations linked to the Usumacinta River, border between Mexico and Guatemala and one of the most important rivers of the planet. The objective of the following lines is the recovery of the mythicalreligious local imaginary of the inhabitants settled along the Usumacinta and the preservation of their memory through poetry, which, in an ethno-ethical geographical approach, subverts the overwhelming havocs of development, linked to the chaotic and excessive exploitation of nature and life.
Des pièces de go sur l’échiquier : Vitesse(s) et mouvement(s) révolutionnaire(s) dans le film de zombies contemporain
Authors:   Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada (olivier.tj13@gmail.com), Thibodeau Olivier
Published: October 2020

The zombie as metaphor for the mindless consumer of late capitalism, popularized by George Romero’s seminal masterpiece, Dawn of the Dead, has grown stale as a critical model for globalized capitalism in light of its power not to embrace, but to disrupt the dromocratic order in which capitalism is rooted. If it is fair to assimilate the zombie mass to the proletarian class freed from the shackles of “productive” labor, it is of greater importance today to address its freedom from the whole kinetic organization of life under capitalist state rule.
Images of Time in the Romanian Folk Chronotope
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (norasava@gmail.com), Sava Eleonora
Published: October 2020

This study proposes an analysis of the imagery of time in Romanian folklore, as it is outlined in a series of mythological narratives and beliefs recorded by ethnographers in the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. The concept of chronotope is used as an analytical tool for understanding the imaginary universe of Romanian folklore. The analysed narratives encapsulate a set of ideas and representations regarding the social norms of the peasant communities in which the figures of weekly time – Saint Wednesday, Saint Friday, Marțolea (Tuesday-Evening), Joimărița (Thursday-Night), etc. – play a central role. Analysing these figures of time, the study reveals their function as guardians of compliance with traditional norms referring to conduct, work and food. The study also highlights the fact that chronotopes perform the role of cognitive schemes of the Romanian folklore imaginary.
La migritude ou l’alchimie d’une altérité onirique : espace et identité dans le roman africain francophone
Authors:   Université de Jos, Jos, Nigéria (akimassani@yahoo.fr), Assani Akimou
Published: October 2020

The publication of the Senegalese writer Fatou Diome’s Le Ventre de l’Atlantique (The Belly of the Atlantic) in 2003 revealed to the general public a new theme of predilection among African writers of the “new generation:” the writing of immigration and the claim of a global identity. In analogy to the movement of Negritude that fought for the affirmation and recognition of the black man and his culture, Jacques Chevrier called it “migritude.” While negritude is meant to be the affirmation of an existing identity, “migritude” instead claims the integration of that identity into the universal crucible of world citizenship. Achievable dream or chimerical delusions? Our work is aimed at seeking relevant answers to these questions.

Chlorogenic acid (ChlA) has shown short-term protective effects against the cyto-genotoxic effects of ochratoxin A (OTA). The present study evaluated the effect of oral administration of ChlA in male Wistar rats exposed to OTA. OTA (0.4 mg/kg bw/day), ChlA (5 mg/kg bw/day), or the combination of both, were administered orally to animals during 28 days. No deaths, decrease in feed consumption or change in the body weight of animals were observed in any group. In the OTA-treated group a decrease in locomotion as well as increased DNA damage in blood, kidney and bone marrow cells were observed. ChlA alone was not genotoxic for animals. The combination of OTA+ChlA decreased the DNA damage by 37% in blood cells, by 55% in kidney cells and by 80% in bone marrow cells compared to OTA-treated group. In conclusion, oral treatment with ChlA showed a good protective effect on genotoxicity produced by OTA in rats during 28 days exposure.
La deuda interna de la democracia y su crisis en el estallido de octubre. Precios, salarios y deuda morosa en el Chile actual
Authors: Orellana Becerra Vicente
Published: October 2020

El artículo aborda el comportamiento de los precios, salarios y deuda morosa de las familias como una aproximación a la comprensión de las causas de la movilización social en Chile desde 2019. Si bien este país ha mostrado sólidos fundamentos macroeconómicos durante los últimos treinta años, estos han escondido importantes cuellos de botella para las familias como alzas de precios de bienes y servicios sensibles para la población, salarios estancados, una de las distribuciones del ingreso más desiguales del mundo, un mercado laboral heterogéneo y el crecimiento galopante de la deuda morosa de los mayores de dieciocho años. Se plantea que estas insatisfacciones económicas han puesto en apuro a las familias chilenas, especialmente a las más vulnerables y la clase media, las que exigen cambiar el modelo de desarrollo.
Estallido Social e Historia de las Mujeres: construcción de genealogía política feminista en Chile
Authors: Cerda Castro Karelia
Published: October 2020

El presente artículo analiza las implicancias del Estallido Social para la producción de Historia de las Mujeres, a partir del protagonismo del movimiento feminista y de mujeres en el desarrollo de las movilizaciones iniciadas el 18 de octubre de 2019 en Chile. El objetivo central, es reflexionar en torno a la reivindicación de la participación de las mujeres en las luchas sociales del pasado que surge en el movimiento feminista actual y la consiguiente interpelación hacia la historiografía chilena. En ese sentido, se plantea como hipótesis que la participación sociopolítica del movimiento feminista en el contexto del Estallido ha abierto perspectivas y desafíos para la investigación histórica con perspectiva de género, especialmente en lo que respecta a la reconstrucción e interpretación de la trayectoria de las luchas de mujeres en nuestro país, posibilitando la formulación de una genealogía política que otorgue sentido de continuidad al movimiento feminista en el contexto actual.
Estallido social, memoria y derechos humanos
Authors: Pinto Luna Carmen
Published: October 2020

El llamado estallido social iniciado el 18 de octubre de 2019 si bien fue inesperado en su magnitud, no lo fue en su contenido, en su origen están sin duda las violaciones a los Derechos Humanos, el medio del cual se valieron los detentadores del poder dictatorial para imponer un nuevo orden político, económico, social y cultural, sustentado en un Estado subsidiario que lo despojó de sus obligaciones de garantizar derechos básicos, tal como lo dispone la normativa internacional de los Derechos Humanos e impidió sistemáticamente al pueblo chileno decidir su destino de manera soberana. Como lo han señalado los jóvenes que iniciaron este estado de rebeldía, no son treinta pesos, en alusión al aumento del valor del transporte metropolitano, son treinta años a la sombra de una dictadura cuya principal herencia es la Constitución de 1980, y su ya famoso Tribunal Constitucional, una real tercera Cámara.

Published: October 2020

A conquista de um município inteligente para um desenvolvimento local sustentável tomando como referencia a mudança de época histórica e o conceito de revolução que desde as suas primeiras propostas indica Castro (2000, p. 3) “[…] o sentido do momento histórico; é mudar tudo o que deve ser mudado […]”, leva a pensar e agir de forma diferente nos campos da ciência e inovação, treinamento e extensão. Todo modelo de desenvolvimento eticamente orientado deve ser caracterizado por ser: inclusivo, humano, sustentável, participativo, equitativo, autogerenciável e abrangente, princípios essenciais a ter em conta na construção do município que pretende, neste caso, o que se chama de município inteligente para o desenvolvimento local sustentável. Neste propósito, seu design não vem só da academia com suas funções de ciência e inovação, treinamento e extensão, mas além de se integrar ao seu meio ambiente conformado pela tripla hélice social para o desenvolvimento – Universidade – Governo -Comunidade -, com o objetivo de sistematizar com a participação dos atores do tripla hélice social para o desenvolvimento, os fundamentos teóricos metodológicos que sustentam o modelo de município inteligente e seu desenvolvimento sustentável na amplia e diversa bibliografia que se refere ao desenvolvimento, para mais tarde e com o uso de outras oficinas de pesquisa determinar os fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos do modelo que se deseja para o nosso contexto. Neste propósito o estudo faz parte da abordagem da teoria crítica. A metodologia utilizada é a pesquisa-ação participativa e como instrumentos a oficina investigativa e a construção social a partir do diálogo de atores.

Incorporación y desarrollo de tecnologías informacionales en ciudades Argentinas
Authors: Girolimo Ulises , Feldman Patricio Julián
Published: October 2020

El objetivo del trabajo es analizar el lugar que ocupan las tecnologías informacionales en la agenda de las ciudades argentinas, en el contexto de la segunda oleada informacional. A partir del análisis de la literatura especializada en la temática, se identifican diversos modos en los que se impulsa la incorporación y desarrollo de estas tecnologías en las ciudades, considerando los distintos objetivos que persiguen y los enfoques teóricos que los sustentan. A continuación, se analizan los casos de dos ciudades que, desde hace alrededor de 15 años, se encuentran desplegando iniciativas relacionadas con el tema analizado. El estudio de casos adopta un enfoque cualitativo, sustentado en el análisis de fuentes secundarias, que es complementado con entrevistas semi-estructuradas a informantes clave. Los resultados de la investigación sugieren que las iniciativas vinculadas a la incorporación y desarrollo de tecnologías informacionales en las ciudades, constituyen un fenómeno sumamente heterogéneo y dinámico, caracterizado por el uso de distintos instrumentos que pueden variar a lo largo del tiempo. Las relaciones entre diversos actores sociales y el rol que asumen los gobiernos locales en los procesos de innovación socio-tecnológica, ejercen una fuerte influencia tanto en la trayectoria del desarrollo informacional, como su orientación urbana y vínculo con las ciudades.

Nesta investigação, buscou-se aproximação com uma das escolas, a fim de compreender como os estudantes do 9°ano do Ensino Fundamental percebem os processos de ensinar e aprender. A genealogia, de Michel Foucault (2005), foi o aporte metodológico da investigação, assim como serviu de aporte teórico para o estudo. A recorrência da dicotomia teoria e prática, na fala dos alunos, mostrou que ainda há uma dissociabilidade dessas questões no contexto da escola.

Esta pesquisa objetiva analisar teses de doutorado em um programa de pós graduação em Educação, dos anos de 2013 a 2016, referentes às questões éticas de publicações que envolvem sujeitos humanos, por meio de uma pesquisa documental de abordagem mista. Foram defendidas 92 teses no período, das quais 32 são pesquisas com seres humanos. Destas, apenas oito informam terem sido submetidas e aprovadas por um Comitê de Ética. Outras, apresentam apenas o termo de consentimento e o termo de anuência do local pesquisado. Destarte, há observância ainda tímida de regulamentação ética nos trabalhos, podendo ser reflexo da inexistência de normativa legal para a área de Ciências Humanas e Sociais, o que nos direciona para a necessidade de um marco regulatório próprio da área.

Background. Colistin is an antibiotic in the polymyxin group and is especially important in the elimination of multi-drug resistant gram negative bacteria. To date, there are many studies investigating colistin related side effects, especially nephrotoxicity. However, there are few studies involving premature neonates, and this study aimed to investigate the side effects of colistin in this particular patient group.
Methods. Between January 2016 and May 2019, the medical records of premature neonates treated with colistin were retrospectively reviewed. The diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) was performed according to the modified neonatal KDIGO criteria. Serum electrolyte levels were recorded at the initiation of colistin treatment and 4-7 days after.
Results. A total of 47 premature neonates; with a median gestational age of 27 weeks and median weight of 970 g at birth were included in the study. The median postnatal day of colistin initiation was 24 days and mean duration of colistin therapy was 15.95 ± 3.70 days. Colistin was combined with aminoglycosides in 44.6% of the patients. Acute kidney injury was documented in 17.0% of premature neonates. (n = 6 for stage 1, n = 2 for stage 2, none of the patients had stage 3). In univariate analysis, gestational age and concomitant aminoglycoside use were associated with AKI development (OR, 0.446; 95% CI 0.238-0.832; p = 0.011 and OR, 1.324; 95% CI 1.023- 7.584; p = 0.024). Mean magnesium level significantly decreased after colistin treatment (1.70 ± 0.84 vs. 1.57 ± 0.29, p = 0.017) and the frequency of hypomagnesemia increased after colistin use (78.7% vs. 91.5%, p = 0.031). Frequency of elevated AST increased from 23.4% to 44.7% following colistin use (p = 0.031).
Conclusions. Colistin-related side effects observed in premature neonates are not as common as in pediatric patients. Electrolyte imbalance is observed more frequently in this age group following colistin use. We suggest strict serum electrolyte level monitoring, especially magnesium, in premature neonates that are receiving colistin.
Ascites: a loadstar for the diagnosis and management of an intracranial tumor
Authors: Gülşen Hayriye Hızarcıoğlu , Kurtuluş Adem
Published: October 2020

Background. Ascites is defined as abnormal fluid retention in the peritoneal cavity and it can be encountered at any age including fetal life. Ascites mostly results from cirrhosis, chronic renal disease and heart failure in childhood. However, there are various reasons for cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic ascites in the pediatric age. Cerebrospinal fluid ascites is one of the rarest.
Case. A 3.5- year- old Sudanese boy who underwent right-sided ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery for hydrocephalus 10 months ago was admitted to the Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit for intracranial tumor surgery. He had neurologic deterioration and ascites accumulation for the last 4 months. He was consulted with the pediatric gastroenterologist to exclude the reasons causing ascites after admission. No chronic liver, renal or heart disease was shown. The gross appearance of ascitic fluid was so clear that it resembled the cerebrospinal fluid and laboratory analysis results were compatible with transudate. The magnetic resonance imaging identified a mass in the left lateral ventricle. From the pediatrician`s perspective, overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid from a tumor was assumed and shunt exclusion was proposed to alleviate ascites. After the externalization of the stunt and external ventricular device implementation, no further ascites occurred. The patient had a successful tumor excision and discharged after gaining oral feeding ability and sufficient weight gain.
Conclusion. In case of intractable ascites occurrence after a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, a pediatrician should consider etiologies resulting in imbalance of absorption and secretion function of cerebrospinal fluid.

Published: October 2020

Pediatric patients are among the recipients of most antibiotic treatment in hospitals so as to induce irrational use of antibiotics. This study aims to monitor the use of antibiotics in pediatric using ATC/DDD methods and DU 90%. This study is a descriptive study with a retrospective study by taking data from medical records to assess the use of antibiotics in pediatric patients with various diseases in the hospital. Quantitative data analysis using ATC/DDD methods showed that the widely used antibiotic was ceftriaxone 16,93% DDD. Antibiotics that include into the DU segment 90% use in the order of the largest to the smallest, respectively are ceftriaxone, metronidazole, cefotaxime, gentamycin, polymyxin B, colistin, cotrimoxazole, cefuroxime, and meropenem. The prescribing effect of short-term antibiotic use in basic medical services may increase the incidence of resistance.
Problem of quasi-boundaries in the Universe and its projection upon life
Authors: Shimelfenig Oleg Vladimirovich
Published: October 2020

Modern science and culture reappraises the objectivistic-materialistic paradigm towards considering human and psychological factors in the worldview, which also leads to problematization of the concept of boundaries of the objects and phenomena in the Universe. Methodological tool for this research became the narrative-play paradigm based on the universal categories of plot, scenario, likeness, two-dimensionality and game, which generalizes the systemic approach, liberating it from a dangerous tendency towards objectivism and one-sided materialism; reveals the latent process of formation of shared life through interaction of individual perceptions, sensations, thoughts and actions. Leaning on the narrative-play methodology and polemics with the opponents, the author examines the concept of quasi-boundary (as there could be no absolute boundaries in the totally interconnected Universe), which determines the forms of material structures, as well as contradictory boundaries that appear to be the subject of various conflicts. Such approach expands the creative abilities of a person, contributing to the development of activity programs in various spheres of life: education, resolution of ethno-confessional issues, innovation management, personal growth, as well as solution of the crucial task that defines the fate of earth dwellers – upbringing each person in harmony of the spiritual and material, in understanding oneness of the Universe, their place within it, and personal responsibility for the shared present and future.
At the dawn of environmentalism: nature and human in the philosophy of R. W. Emerson
Authors: Tsypina Lada Vital'evna , Chenskikh Ekaterina Petrovna
Published: October 2020

The subject of this research is the philosophy of nature of Ralph Waldo Emerson as one of the reputable sources of modern environmentalism. The object of this research is the philosophy and body of texts of the American transcendentalism. The authors examine the aspects of Emerson's natural philosophy, due to which his outlook upon nature became in demand by such reputable areas of modern thought as deep ecology, ecocriticism, and environmental ethics. Special attention is turned to the analysis of Emerson's essay “The Nature” that follows an ecocritical narrative, as well as historical origins and philosophical contexts of Emerson's anthropocentrism and values of environmental ethics. Analysis of paramount for the founder of American transcendentalism analogy of nature and man allows concluding that the used by Emerson weak version of anthropocentrism does not exclude holistic approach towards man as part of the natural world, and contains an ecological impulse that allows interpreting nature as a complex environment requiring different descriptive languages. The proposed by Emerson interpretation of nature as a “symbol of spirit”, realized through convenience, beauty, language and discipline, contains the anticipation of values of environmental ethics and allows seeing an apologist for ecosophy in the “Concord wiseman”.The authors’ special contribution consists in actualization of natural philosophy of R. W. Emerson as one of the reputable sources of environmentalism and consideration of his interpretation of human – nature relationship as a constructive components of the currently relevant environmental values. The scientific novelty consists in examination of Emerson’s ideas in the context of the ideas of ecocriticism and deep ecology, as well as in thematicization of the analogy of nature and man through the prism of environmental ethics.
