Do self-esteem and gender help explain depressive and/or anxiety symptoms in adolescents?
Authors: Pereira da Silva Brenda Fernanda , Santos Vitti Laís , Fiorim Enumo Sônia Regina , Faro André
Published: December 2021

Depression and anxiety are common in adolescents, and poor mental health in this group leads to harm in adulthood. This study investigates to what extent gender, age, body image dissatisfaction, and self-esteem were related to depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents. The sample consisted of 1,209 high school students of both sexes, aged 13-19 years (M = 15.8; SD = 1.23). The instruments were: sociodemographic questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Stunkard Figure Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Multinomial logistic regression indicated that being female and having low or moderate self-esteem satisfactorily explained the anxiety symptoms. Reduced self-esteem was the best explanation for depressive symptoms, and finally, reduced rates of self-esteem satisfactorily explained symptoms for both disorders.
Effect of Fermented Liquid Feed (FLF) on Performance and Feed Efficiency of Large White Yorkshire (LWY) Pigs under Tropical Climate of North-East India
Authors: Buragohain R. , Saikia B.N.
Published: December 2021

Background: Feeding of fermented feed is not popular among the pig farmers inspite of manifold advantages as preparation is laborious, involves technical knowledge requiring considerable time. An attempt was made to standardise a preparation method of FLF and comparative assessment was made with dry and liquid feed in LWY pigs. Methods: Twenty-four weaned LWY piglets (11.45±2.42 to 11.46±2.37 kg) were assigned - dry feed (T1), Liquid feed (T2), liquid feed fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus (T3) and liquid feed fermented with Enterococcus faecium (T4) in a 180 days feeding trial. Liquid feed was prepared by mixing feed and water at 1:2 (w/w) and the FLFs were prepared by fermenting liquid feed with Lactobacillus acidophilus for T3 and Enterococcus faecium for T4. Pigs were fed individually ad libitum considering each piglet as replicate. Nutrient digestibility was estimated at 18th and 30th week of age conducting two feeding trials. Carcass traits and sensory quality of pork were evaluated by slaughtering 3 pigs from each treatment at the end of trial. Result: No significant effect (P greater than 0.05) of FLFs was observed in feed intake in the growing phase, but it was significantly high in T3 and T4 in the finishing phase. Significantly (P less than 0.05) high body weight gain with improvement of 17.76% in T3 and 17.71% in T4 were recorded. Apparent nutrient digestibility was better in T3 and T4 and crude protein digestibility was significantly (P less than 0.05) high in T3 in finishing phase. Significantly improved feed efficiency was recorded for T3 and T4. The feeding cost/kg body weight gain was Rs. 128.36, 120.43, 112.87 and 115.51, respectively for T1, T2, T3 and T4. Significantly high dressing% and carcass length with positive effect on water holding capacity were observed for feeding FLFs, but without any significant effect on proximate composition and sensory attributes of pork.

Authors: Sudhalakshmi C. , Rani S. , Sathyamoorthi N.K. , Meena B. , Ramanathan S.P. , Geethalakshmi V.
Published: December 2021

Background: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is the predominant leguminous oilseed crop of India which has turned out to be a sensitive victim to climate change episodes like rising CO2 levels, erratic rainfall pattern, high temperature and moisture stress leaving deleterious imprints in physiology, disease resistance, fertility and productivity. Globally climate change is anticipated to pull down groundnut productivity by 11-25%. Agronomic manipulations like altered time of sowing, intercropping and irrigation management helps in microclimate modification towards reaping higher productivity and economic returns in groundnut. Methods: Field experiments were conducted during 2019-2021 on sandy clay loam soil (Fluventic Ustropept) in a Randomized Block Design with three factors viz., differential cropping systems (sole groundnut, groundnut + red gram intercropping), rainfed and irrigation systems and differential sowing windows (Second fortnight of June, first and second fortnights of July). Growth parameters, physiological traits viz., photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, canopy temperature and light interception, incidence of foliar diseases viz., leaf spot and rust; soil borne disease viz., stem rot, root rot and productivity of groundnut were recorded at critical crop growth stages. Result: Canopy temperature was higher in sole groundnut system while light interception was higher in groundnut - redgram intercropping system, however system productivity did not register statistical superiority between the cropping systems. Irrigated system exerted its influence over rainfed system in terms of pod and kernel yield of groundnut. Sowing of groundnut during second fortnight of June was beneficial than July sowing in pod and kernel yield of groundnut due to uniform distribution of rainfall during the growth and reproductive phases of crop. Although differential cropping systems did not register their impact on disease incidence of groundnut, irrigated system and first sowing windows recorded minimum incidence of root rot, stem rot, early leaf spot, late leaf spot and rust diseases compared to rainfed system and July sowing.

Bu çalışma; farklı fenolojik dönemlerde biçilen tek yıllık baklagil-buğdaygil çoklu karışımına uygulanan arpa kırması oranlarının, silaj kalitesi ve yem değerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada, % 35 Macar fiği + % 35 yem bezelyesi + % 10 yulaf + % 10 tritikale + % 10 buğday karışımı silaj materyali olarak kullanılmıştır. Ot hasadı üç farklı devrede (yem bezelyesinin çiçeklenme öncesi, % 50 çiçeklenme, tam çiçeklenme dönemi) yapılmıştır. Üretilen kaba yemin silaj kalitesi ve yem değerine etkilerini belirlemek için dört farklı dozda (0, % 5, % 10 ve % 15) arpa kırması uygulanarak silajlar hazırlanmıştır. Silaj örnekleri vakumlu torbalarda 25 ± 2 oC’de 60 gün süre ile fermantasyona bırakılmıştır. Fermantasyon sonunda açılan silajlardan alınan örneklerde; pH, kuru madde, ham protein, ham kül, asit deterjanda çözünmeyen lif, nötral deterjanda çözünmeyen lif, asit deterjan lignin, kalsiyum, magnezyum ve fosfor analizleri yapılmıştır. Silajların Fleig puanı ve nispi yem değerleri de hesaplanarak kaba yemin kalitesi ortaya konmuştur. Araştırma sonucuna göre, biçim devresinin gecikmesi; silaj besin maddesi içeriklerini, hücre duvarı unsurlarını ve silaj fermantasyonunu etkilemiştir. Fleig puanı artan arpa oranına göre artarken, silajların nispi yem değeri “en iyi” kalitede yer almıştır. Arpa kırmasının % 15 düzeyinde eklenmesi, silajların fermantasyonu ve silaj kalitesine olumlu yönde etki etmiştir. En yüksek nispi yem değeri, tam çiçeklenme döneminde biçilen ve % 15 arpa kırması ilave edilen örneklerden elde edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çiçeklenme döneminde biçilen yem bitkileri karışımına % 15 arpa kırması eklenerek yapılacak silajlar ile hayvanların kış döneminde kaliteli yeşil yem ihtiyacı karşılanabilecektir.

Published: December 2021

Sustainably utilizing natural resources would provide sustainable livelihoods for agrarian communities in developing countries. Using alternative and more efficient methods to utilize natural resources will probably serve to achieve this goal. Ensiling grass in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey is assumed to provide an alternative roughage fodder source for the animal husbandry sector which has faced dramatic declines for the last decades. This study investigated the possibilities of preparing and adopting grass silage in the region where drying grass to provide roughages for winter feeding is troublesome due to the heavily rainy climate during the harvest season. The study was organized in two broad sections; (1) socioeconomic survey and (2) ensiling process for roughage fodder provision. In the first section, socioeconomic characteristics of livestock farmers, farming practices applied, problems encountered by farmers, and awareness level about grass silage in the region were investigated. In the second section, a silage preparation process was carried out by (1) harvesting and ensiling of grass, (2) determination of the composition of grass silages, and (3) determination of aerobic stabilities of silages. Results showed that livestock farmers in the region have small numbers of animals and operate conventionally, farmers tend to be older, hold an elementary school degree, and are mostly not open to innovations. They face serious problems with drying their grass to provide roughage fodders and lack information about this technology. The ensiling process revealed favorable results that grass produced in the region can be successfully turned into silage. The quality can further be increased with some additives. The study concludes that to sustainably utilize the regional grasslands, awareness-raising campaigns and extension programs for ensiling technology should be organized.

Published: December 2021

The syndrome of intestinal insufficiency (SII) in patients with acute obstructive pancreatitis (ADP) leads to the formation of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), and then to the development of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) with all its inherent symptoms: acute heart, lung and kidney failure. Objective: to determine the role of SII in the development of abdominal compartment syndrome in patients with ADP. Materials and methods. Clinical studies were conducted in 71 patients with sterile pancreatic necrosis. Pathoanatomical studies of the small intestine were performed in 20 patients who died due to sterile pancreatic necrosis, of which 10 (50 %) died without SII and 10 (50 %) with SII. Results and discussion. SII developed in 57 (80 %) patients. Absolute quantitative and chronological relationships between SII and IAH and subsequent development were found in 11 (15 %) patients with ACS. SII was ahead of the formation of IAH by an average of 24 hours. IAH and, accordingly, ACS were not formed in patients without SII. The data of enterometry in the deceased with and without SII fully confirmed the results of clinical studies on the leading role of intestinal insufficiency in the development of IAH. Conclusions. SII is the initial and main link in the pathogenesis of the formation of IAH and the subsequent development of ACS in patients with ADP.

One of the advantages of femtolaser assisted cataract surgery is that it is possible to perform arcuate corneal incisions to correct corneal astigmatism at single-step operation, especially in cases where the implantation of a toric intraocular lens is not planned. The paper shows 2 clinical cases of performing arcuate incisions using femtolaser to correct corneal astigmatism simultaneously with cataract and glaucoma surgery, as well as with anterior chamber reconstruction. Femtolaser arcuate keratotomy with simultaneous phacoemulsification in non-standard clinical cases is effective and provides advantages in an alternative method of treatment before a toric intraocular lens.

Published: December 2021

Bisphosphonate osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONCH) is a drug-induced osteonecrosis in patients with a history of malignancies. It is characterized by progressive destruction of the jawbone with the development of a chronic inflammatory process in the parotid tissues. For the treatment of the disease, the use of exogenous nitrogen monoxide (NO) synthesized using the Plason device is proposed. The study of immunological parameters in patients with BONCH in the main group (n = 26), who received NO-therapy, and in the comparison group (пи = 27), who received traditional sanitation with 0,05 % chlorhexidine bigluconate. The dynamics of indicators in the main group - a decrease in the activity of the cellular link (activity of phago-quoting granulocytes and monocytes) to normal values, an increase in the intensity of local immunity (IgA) and a decrease in the concentration of humoral factors of acute (IgM) and chronic (IgG) inflammation p < 0,05) - confirms the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect of exogenous NO therapy. In the case of the comparison group, reducing only one indicator (AFM) to normal values does not allow us to prove the effect of traditional sanitation on immunological parameters in General. Thus, the use of exogenous nitrogen monoxide for patients with BONCH is justified both at the stage of preoperative preparation and as a basic conservative therapy if surgical treatment is not possible.

Paulo Freire en la educación Iberoamericana hoy, a la luz del análisis crítico del discurso de sus protagonistas
Authors: Rodriguez Milagros Elena , Fortunato Ivan
Published: December 2021

Desde al análisis crítico del discurso, con colaboradores de Iberoamérica, volvemos sobre el legado del andariego de la utopía; el maestro liberador brasileiro que se internacionalizo mostrando la liberación como posible ejercicio político en la educación. Así se analiza el legado de Freire en la Educación Iberoamericana hoy a la luz del análisis crítico del discurso de las voces de sus protagonistas. De todos los entrevistados de Iberoamérica tenemos una primicia: volver a Freire como el andariego de la utopía es volar alto, grandes kilómetros en pesquisa de la liberación; pero no echar un vistazo desde arriba la crisis. Retornar a Freire en el centenario de su nacimiento es empantanar los zapatos, es constreñir el corazón, es padecer en las comunidades olvidadas; retornar a ese pedagogo es sentir dolor en la piel por los soterrados; pero al mismo tiempo es tener una profunda fe en la liberación; en el potencial de los ciudadanos, de los países – encubiertos por interés soslayadores cada vez más opresivos en designación de liberadores.

Two focus group discussions (FGDs) Researcher FGD (with those engaged in suicide research) and Clinician FGD (with those providing treatment to suicide survivors) – consisting of open-ended questions and lasting for 70-90 minutes were conducted and analysed using Thematic Analysis. Five themes were identified: i) struggling with the incongruity of harm within benefit, ii) difficulty in delineating boundaries, iii) self-doubt in one’s professional competence, iv) nature of suicide straining the limits of confidentiality, and v) working with structural limitations. The study helps to understand the obstacles and dilemmas encountered in adhering to ethical principles while working with vulnerable individuals.
Innovative Pulses for European Temperate Regions: A Review
Authors: Ayerdi Gotor Alicia , Marraccini Elisa
Published: December 2021

In the Global North, there is an increasing interest in pulses both for their beneficial effects in cropping systems and for human health. However, despite these advantages, the acreage dedi-cated to pulses has been declining and their diversity reduced, particularly in European temperate regions, due to several social and economic factors. This decline has stimulated a political debate in the EU on the development of plant proteins. By contrast, in the Global South, a large panel of minor pulses is still cropped in regional patterns of production and consumption. The aim of this paper is to investigate the for cultivation of potential minor pulses in European temperate regions as a complement to common pulses. Our assumption is that some of these crops could adapt to different pedo-climatic conditions, given their physiological adaptation capacity, and that these pulses might be of interest for the development of innovative local food chains in an EU policy context targeting protein autonomy. The research is based on a systematic review of 269 papers retrieved in the Scopus database (1974–2019), which allowed us to identify 41 pulses as candidate species with a protein content higher than 20% that are already consumed as food. For each spe-cies, the main agronomic (e.g. temperature or water requirements) and nutritional characteristics (e.g. proteins or antinutritional contents) were identified in their growing regions. Following their agronomic characteristics, the candidate crops were confronted with variability in the annual growing conditions for spring crops in European temperate areas to determine the earliest poten-tial sowing and latest harvest dates. Subsequently, the potential sum of temperatures was calcu-lated with the Agri4cast database to establish the potential climatic suitability. For the first time, 21 minor pulses were selected to be grown in these temperate areas and appear worthy of inves-tigation in terms of yield potential, nutritional characteristics or best management practices.

The New European Union Whistleblowing Directive: In Comparison to Indonesia’s Practice
Authors: Hajdú József , Rahman Rofi Aulia
Published: December 2021

With the European Union Whistleblowing Directive (2019), the topic of whistleblowing is becoming increasingly important for EU MS’s public and private entities. Whistle-blowers might play a vital role in exposing corruption, fraud and mismanagement of the EU’s supranational norms. The Directive introduced minimum standards for the protection of whistle-blowers and obliges many public and private entities to introduce their own internal whistleblowing channels. The EU also can take some lessons from Indonesia about the practice and obstacle in implementing whistleblowing system. The aim of this article is to introduce the new EU Whistleblowing Directive’s main features and some presumable obstacles for implementation. The hypothesis is that the new Directive might enhance the fairwork-place environment, roll back fraud and corruption, reduce work-related wrongdoing and manage equal treatment and no-discrimination policy including bullying and sexual harassment. However, some theoretical and pragmatic discrepancies will be introduced as well.
Ground-penetrating radar profiles of the McMurdo shear zone, Antarctica, acquired with an unmanned rover : interpretation of crevasses, fractures, and folds within firn and marine ice

The crevassed firn of the McMurdo shear zone (SZ) within the Ross Ice Shelf may also contain crevasses deep within its meteoric and marine ice, but the surface crevassing prevents ordinary vehicle access to investigate its structure geophysically. We used a lightweight robotic vehicle to tow 200- and 40 MHz ground-penetrating radar antennas simultaneously along 10 parallel transects over a 28 km² grid spanning the SZ width. Transects were generally orthogonal to the ice flow. Total firn and meteoric ice thickness was approximately 160 m. Firn crevasses profiled at 400 MHz were up to 16 m wide, under snow bridges up to 10 m thick, and with strikes near 35°–40° to the transect direction. From the top down, 200- MHz profiles revealed firn diffractions originating to a depth of approximately 40 m, no discernible structure within the meteoric ice, a discontinuous transitional horizon, and at least 20 m of stratified marine ice; 28–31 m of freeboard found more marine ice exists. Based on 10 consecutive transects covering approximately 2.5 km², we preliminarily interpreted the transitional horizon to be a thin saline layer, and marine ice hyperbolic diffractions and reflections to be responses to localized fractures, and crevasses filled with unstratified marine ice, all at strikes from 27° to 50°. We preliminarily interpreted off nadir, marine ice horizons to be responses to linear and folded faults, similar to some in firn. The coinciding and synchronously folded areas of fractured firn and marine ice suggested that the visibly unstructured meteoric ice beneath our grid was also fractured, but either never crevassed, crevassed and sutured without marine ice inclusions, or that any ice containing crevasses might have eroded before marine ice accretion. We will test these interpretations with analysis of all transects and by extending our grid and increasing our depth ranges.

The unanticipated outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has shocked the world in terms of both lives and livelihood. SARS-CoV-2 virus primarily affects the respiratory system, although other organ systems are also involved. Early diagnosis followed up by a retrospective analysis and tracking of a few markers relevant to the immunological status of the individual may aid in determining the state of the patient's disease prognosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate immunological parameters such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer, taking into account the patient's age and oxygen saturation level. Our retrospective analysis of clinical data revealed that such parameters as CRP, D-dimer, and NLR should be taken into consideration to predict severe COVID-19-related complications. The data obtained indicate that patients over age 60 are especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19.

The article provides an analysis of clinical, anamnestic and laboratory parameters for patients of young reproductive age who participated in IVF programs and have cryopreserved embryos. The main reasons for embryo cryopreservation were prevention of OHSS, "thin" endometrium and "previous IVF failures." It has been found that the patients from the group of transfer cancellation due to prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation had a higher ovarian reserve, a larger number of eggs, fresh and frozen embryos, and shorter shelf life of frozen embryos. All embryos were of the best quality (corresponding to the day of cultivation); the “post-thaw cultivation” technique was applied. During stimulation, lower amounts of gonadotropins were used. Patients with thin endometrium and previous IVF failures demonstrated slow growth of follicles, which required a higher course dose of gonadotropins with the addition of LH-containing preparations. Regardless of the group, in most cases, frozen/thawed embryos were transferred at the blastocyst stage (Day 5). The pregnancy rate was high in patients at risk of OHSS and with thin endometrium (48.6%, 48.0%). Patients with IVF failures had a lower pregnancy rate; this is due to endometrial pathology in the medical history, a smaller number of antral follicles, oocytes, fresh and frozen embryos, and longer shelf life of frozen embryos.

The article presents results of studying the influence of COVID-19 infections on glutathione metabolism in men with pathozoospermia and COVID-19. In erythrocyte cytolysate, we determined concentration of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione and the GSH/GSSG ratio as the main indication of cell redox-status and an important factor in cell redox-dependent signaling control along with the effect GSH-dependent enzymes. Results of our study allowed us to determine the peculiarity of the influence of COVID-19 infection on thee glutathione metabolic pathway. The understanding of the influence mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 on metabolic processes in the body of men with pathozoospermia has been expanded. The data obtained give grounds and opportunities for a more reasonable approach to the organization of preventive, curative, and rehabilitative measures for COVID-19 infection.
