Published: January 2021

Colorectal cancer patient may present with variable clinical presentation. In few cases, colorectal cancer may present as emergency such as uncontrollable gastrointestinal bleeding, large bowel obstruction and in rarer fashion is bowel perforation. Worse prognosis is linked with emergency presenting colorectal cancer. Peritoneal carcinomatosis may occur in 10-35% of colorectal cancer patients and may develop bowel obstruction along with the primary colorectal cancer. Here, we report a-62-year-old man presented with large bowel obstruction leading to perforation without known history of colorectal cancer before. On emergency laparotomy, we found colorectal cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis as the underlying cause. Prompt diagnosis and urgent management is warranted to improve the prognosis.
Skąd się bierze i na czym polega „szkolna schizofrenia”?
Authors: Sienko Maria
Published: January 2021

On the basis of the results of the analysis of selected public debates devoted to school humanistic education, the author of the article attempts to describe the condition of Polish language and literature teachers, and to reconstruct the sources of the disintegration of relations between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, which have been sometimes referred to as “school schizophrenia”. Among these sources there are permanent changes in the syllabus, school reforms, authorities who decide upon these changes, the introduction and the character of the changes, the method of measurements of the results of Polish language teachers’ work, as well as the cult of standards and procedures. The final part of the article offers a reflection upon the possibility to teach students on the basis of one’s own values, beliefs, knowleagde and competence in such diverse and complex social and political context.

The article presents an analysis of the process of practical preparation of future teachers for performing professional functions. The legal acts concerning the organization of teacher education in Poland were reviewed, and the role of school practices in the development of teaching competences of students of pedagogical universities was also recognized. A separate chapter of the article concerns the organization of didactic and psychological-pedagogical practices at the Pedagogical University of Krakow. It presents the results of a preliminary study on the effectiveness of practices in the assessment of students. The research group consisted of students of the teaching specialty. The results showed a significant role of cooperation with the student’s school supervisor and favourable working atmosphere during the school practice for the future teacher competence formation. Students highly value the school practice experience, so it is important to develop close cooperation between pedagogical universities as the main centres for teacher education and different types of schools, in order to provide the necessary conditions for the organization of effective school practice for the students-future teachers.
Niepraktyczność polszczyzny a przemiany fleksji nominalnej w pokoleniu sieci
Authors: Kurek Halina
Published: January 2021

The subject of the article is the “impracticability of the Polish language” understood as the uselessness of Polish in terms of comfortable communication among the members of the network generation, especially through the Internet and mobile phones. This generation perceives language only as a useful code. Young people believe that the basic advantage of Polish should be the simplicity of sending-receiving mechanisms. It means aiming at the optimisation of the Polish language that, in future, may result in significant simplifications and system changes from the inflectional type to the synthetic-analytical type.

Salinity endurance of marine macro Rhodophycean algae with special emphasis on myo-inositol biosynthesis: An enzymological analysis from Halymenia venusta Børgesen
Authors: Mahanty Dibyendu Sekhar , Basu Sautrik , Adhikari Jukta
Published: January 2021

Altered salinity is one the most important perils encountered by marine plants inclusive of algae. Under hyper saline condition plants accumulate several stress relieving osmolytes including myo-inositol, the most widespread cyclitol in plants. The present communication reports the occurrence of myo-inositol biosynthesis in six different Rhodophycean seaweeds growing under stressful intertidal habitats of the Okha coast (Gujarat, India), on the basis of a study conducted on two marker enzymes of myo-inositol biosysnthesis [L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase and D/L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate phosphatise]. Both enzymes were partially purified from Halymenia venusta to about 27 and 39 folds respectively over the homogenate following low-speed centrifugation, 30-75% ammonium sulphate fractionation, successive chromatography through DEAE-cellulose / CM-Cellulose, Sephadex G-200 and BioGel 0.5m / UltrogelAcA 34 columns. The temperature and pH optima for both the enzymes were similar and were recorded to be 350C and 7.5 respectively. For MIPS, D-glucose-6-phosphate and NAD were the exclusive substrate and coenzyme respectively and D/L-MIP was the sole substrate for MIPP. The Km values for D-glucsoe-6-phosphate and β-NAD were recorded to be 3.599 mM and 0.2366 mM respectively, while the Km value for D-MIP was found to be 0.4070 mM. Monovalent cations K+ had slight stimulatory, Li+ was strong inhibitory for both the enzymes. Divalent cations Ca2+ exhibited slight stimulatory and Cd2+ reduced MIPS and MIPP activities. MIPP was stimulated by Mg2+. Cu2+ and Hg2+ were strong inhibitors of both the enzymes. A steady and proportionate increase in the content of free myo-inositol was observed along with elevated levels of recorded salinity.

The various stigmas surrounding People with Disabilities (PWDs) make it difficult for them to find employment. Therefore, entrepreneurship is a way for PWDs to carry out economic activities. This study aims to analyze the employment conditions, the importance of entrepreneurship, and the entrepreneurial conditions carried out by PWDs in Indonesia. The source of data for this study is the 2018 Indonesian National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS). The analysis techniques for this study include cross-tabulation, Pearson’s chi-square, and Likelihood Ratio (LR) for statistical tests. The results show that PWDs face major obstacles with participating in employment, with Women with Disabilities (WWDs) facing even more significant obstacles than Men with Disabilities (MWDs). Most PWDs, both men and women, have equal chances of becoming entrepreneurs. The vital role of entrepreneurship is also shown by the nature of entrepreneurship, as an independent effort that unnecessarily depends much on other parties so that PWDs have extra opportunities. The majority of PWDs who become entrepreneurs, with low education levels, live in rural areas and work in the agricultural sector, indicating that their businesses are small scale. Small companies tend to be vulnerable to competition, so that at any time, PWDs have the risk of losing their businesses.
Raising Animals to Die for Profit: How Corporate America is Changing Human Animal Relationships in Rural America
Authors: Brakke Sabrina
Published: January 2021

Corporate ownership of livestock operations for meat and animal by-products has had a dramatic effect on human-animal relationships in rural areas of the United States. This evolution mandates mass production of livestock in large concentrated animal feed organizations (CAFO’s). In contrast, animal breeding for sport, such as hunting which also produces food, has not generated the same adverse effect on these relationships. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with two rural Iowa women, one raising livestock to be sold for meat and by-products; the other raising livestock to be hunted. Ferdinand Tonnies’ social groupings, gesellschaft and gemeinschaft, were used as theoretical concepts applied using inductive analysis. Findings suggest that, with corporate ownership, the human-animal interaction in these two groups are now very different from one another. The meat industry objectifies animals; they are a means to a financial end, a “product.” Hunting, which remains culturally rooted, allows for a closer relationship; the animal is still thought of as a living individual. The world must be fed and as consumers of these products, it is important to understand how corporate ownership of animals is changing the relationship between human and animals while other relationships resulting in animal meat remain steeped in tradition.

Guide to diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer
Authors: Grigorescu Alexandru C. , Moşoiu Silvia
Published: January 2021

The guide is addressed to medical oncologists who, ac­cor­ding to the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), are “cancer specialists” who follow the patient and the tra­jec­tory of his disease from diagnosis to the end of his life. Like any guide, it cannot cover all situations that arise in practice. Therefore, it does not replace the case analysis per­formed in the tumor board or in the clinical sections. The guide brings together evidence-based guidance re­com­mended by ASCO and ESMO. Medicines that have not yet been reimbursed in Romania are reported. The re­com­mendation is that, in order to establish the the­ra­peu­tic plan of a patient, the protocol of the National Health Insurance House should be consulted in order to reconcile the theoretical therapeutic possibilities with those possible in our country.
It's a Gas: Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane over Boron Nitride Catalysts
Authors: Kraus Peter , Lindstedt R. Peter
Published: January 2021

We investigate the role of gas-phase phenomena in the heterogeneous oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over hexagonal boron nitride. We apply a recently developed gas-phase combustion model for low-temperature combustion of propane and couple it with several surface microkinetic mechanisms to probe the selectivity limits using the open-source flame solver Cantera. We show that while the conversion of propane is surface-driven, the selectivities are significantly influenced by the gas-phase, especially when dilute catalyst beds are used.
Organometallic AlaM Reagents for Umpolung Peptide Diversification
Authors: Zhu Feng , Powell Wyatt , Jing Ruiheng , Walczak Maciej
Published: January 2021

Selective modification of peptides and proteins is emerging as a promising strategy to develop novel mechanistic probes and prepare compounds with translational potential. While many methods to perform direct bioconjugation rely on reactions with dehydroalanine, an alternative strategy capitalizing on polarity reversal at the β carbon in amino acids can open access to a new type of diversification reactions characterized by absolute control of regio- and stereoselectivity. Here, we report that alanine carbastannatranes AlaSn can serve as a universal synthon in various C-C and C-heteroatom bond-forming reactions demonstrated in over 50 diverse examples. These reagents are compatible with peptide and protein manipulation techniques and undergo chemoselective conjugation in minutes when promoted by Pd(0). Despite their increased nucleophilicity and propensity to transfer the alkyl group, AlaSn operate at room temperature under buffered conditions (pH 6.5-8.5). We also show that AlaSn can be easily transformed into several canonical L- and D-amino acids in arylation, acylation, and etherification reactions. Furthermore, AlaSn can partake in macrocyclizations exemplified by the synthesis of medium size cyclic peptides with various topologies (7-13 membered macrocycles). Taken together, metalated alanine AlaSn demonstrate unparalleled scope and represent a new type of umpolung reagents suitable for structure-activity relationship studies and peptide diversification.
Mechanochemical Transformation of Planar Polyarene to Curved Fused-Ring System: Solid-Phase Synthesis of Corannulene
Authors: Teoh Yong , Báti Gabor , Garcia Felipe , Stuparu Mihaiela C.
Published: January 2021

This work demonstrates that mechanochemical forces can successfully transform a planar

polyarene into a curved geometry by creating new C-C bonds along the rim of the molecular structure.

In doing so, mechanochemistry does not require inert conditions or organic solvents and provide

better yields within shorter reaction times. This is illustrated in a 15-minute synthesis of corannulene,

a fragment of fullerene C60, in 66% yield through ball milling of planar tetrabromomethylfluoranthene

precursor under ambient conditions. Traditional solution and gas-phase synthetic pathways do not

compete with the practicality and efficiency offered by the mechanochemical synthesis, which now

opens up a new reaction space for inducing curvature at a molecular level.

Diabetes Mellitus is known as a syndrome, a collection of disorders with high blood glucose level & glucose intolerance as its feature, either because of insulin deficiency or insulin impairment or both. Diabetes Mellitus, based on insulin, is broadly classified into two types. Type one indicates the distraction of pancreatic β - cells that leads to diabetes mellitus, in which insulin is necessary to prevent ketoacidosis, coma, death. Type two diabetes is characterized by disorders of insulin resistance & secretion. Male Wistar albino rats with an average weight of 180-250 g were used in this study. With a 12 hours’ light and dark period, they were kept under normal conditions (room temperature 24-27oC and humidity 60-65 %). The free access of drinking water & pellet diet to male Wistar albino rats was allowed, as per the CPCSEA guidelines. Anti-diabetic activity of Compound 2-(4- [(2-hydroxyacetyl benzyl) ketoamino]-phenyl amino-methyl)- hydrobenzophenon, male Wistar albino rats were divided into four different groups. 1ml of blood samples were collected directly into anticoagulant bottles from the tail vein & later plasma was collected after centrifugation. Blood sugar levels were determined by spectrophotometer. There was a significant decrease in blood sugar levels in Alloxan + Glibenclamide and Alloxan + Compound groups on compared to control. The present self-funded study concludes that antidiabetic activity of 2-(4- [(2-hydroxyacetyl benzyl) ketoamino]-phenyl amino-methyl)- hydrobenzophenon in Alloxan induced diabetic rats significantly shows decreed blood sugar levels when compared to the control group.

Inh A, the Enoyl Acyl Carrier protein Reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the pivotal enzyme involved in the mycobacterial fatty acid elongation cycle and has been considered as an important target for anti-tubercular screening. Inhibition of Inh A affects the biosynthesis of the mycolic acids, which are the central constituents of the mycobacterial cell wall. In the present research work, 4-anilino quinazoline derivatives were designed based on the quinazoline based drugs by means of lipophilic insertion and Fragment replacement. The designed compounds were synthesized, and molecular docking studies were performed on the human pathogenic bacterial enzyme InhA from its parent domain Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Molecular docking study revealed that compounds SMOQ2, SNAQ3, 4AAQ7, 2AP9, PABAQ10 were found to possess good binding affinity towards the target InhA. With reference to the binding energy obtained from molecular docking study, five compounds were subjected to in vitro anti-tubercular activity against M. tuberculosis  H37Rv and I2487 (Resistant strain) using BACTEC MGIT method. Compound SMOQ2 and 4AAQ7 showed sensitivity in both H37Rv (Sensitive strain) and I2487 (Resistant strain) at the concentration of 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 mcg/mL. In silico Pharmacokinetic predictions of the synthesized compounds were determined using SwissADME online web tool. All the synthesized compounds obeyed the Lipinski's rule of five properties.

Published: January 2021

Acropora sp. is the second-most abundant among the coral genera in the Kuantan coastal region (KCR) located on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This study investigated the timing of coral spawning of two Acropora species; Acropora cytherea and Acropora clathrata through dissection and histological analyses of coral fragments that were collected during predicted spawning months (March until May 2018) from Balok reef, Kuantan. Histological results showed the presence of mature oocytes from a sample collected in April and May 2018, which indicate an extended gamete release pattern for these species within KCR. The gamete maturity coincided with the peak sea surface temperature within KCR from April until May. Both Acropora species spawned between 10-11 nights after the full moon. Present results also indicated that both Acropora species have optimal pelagic larvae duration (PLD) between 6 – 8 days after spawning. This study contributed to the limited knowledge of coral reproductive biology on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. In addition, the timing of coral spawning provides valuable data for population connectivity modelling.

The cultural differences between China and foreign countries have made schools show great differences in the cultivation of students’ learning methods. In China, flooding teaching is common, which has achieved a large amount of knowledge output, but it has not been able to guarantee the effect of knowledge instillation. In American colleges and universities, it is more open education, combining conscious education and learning with task-based education to meet the real needs of people in society, while service learning comes from traditional teaching methods, such as experiential learning. It became popular at the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Nevertheless, the combination of service learning and school curricula is still a fairly new concept, which only began to appear in the 1870s. At present, China is also introducing advanced foreign teaching methods to improve some of the domestic teaching drawbacks.

Exploring the Benefits of an Arts-Based Mindfulness Group Intervention for Teachers, University Students, and Women Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
Authors: Coholic Diana , Hardy Amanda , Patricia Goeldner , Stephanie McMahon
Published: January 2021

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) teach practices that encourage the development of present moment awareness through paying attention on purpose and non-judgmentally to one’s experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. We describe three graduate student research thesis projects that explored the suitability and benefits of an arts-based MBI with three different populations; teachers, university students, and women survivors of intimate partner violence. These three populations have been identified as experiencing heightened levels of stress and in need of resilience building supports. All three projects were qualitative pilot studies that explored whether participants would experience increased understanding and development of mindfulness-based skills, and improved coping with stress through participating in the program. Pre- and post-MBI group interviews were conducted, and interview data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Across the three projects, the student researchers found self-reported benefits with no adverse effects. Developing mindfulness-based skills helped the participants to build their self-awareness/understanding which in turn helped to develop emotion regulation. This is consistent with our understanding of how MBIs can build people’s capacity to make conscious choices about their feelings rather than reacting to emotional triggers. Improved coping with stress was also reported in all three projects. Developing present-moment awareness and mindfulness can help people appreciate life’s moments, and cope better with daily life stressors. Also important was the growth of self-compassion and acceptance. The results are promising and indicate that further exploration with these populations is warranted. Future research could explore an arts-based approach to facilitating mindfulness with larger numbers of participants and using control and/or comparison groups.

Authors: Jahangir Nida Usman , Malik Sania Zahra
Published: January 2021

The concept of vitality, particularly work vitality, has been extensively explored in the existing literature, yet a comprehensive conceptualization and definition of this concept is not available. Based on the conservation of resource theory and the concept of salutogenesis, this exploratory study defined and studied the nature of the construct ‘work vitality’ as a psychological resource. Using a qualitative design, a comprehensive conceptual model of work vitality was developed. Thirty-three semi-structured interactive interviews were conducted. Based on social constructionism, thematic analysis was undertaken using the NVIVO software. The findings revealed that work vitality is a relatively constant, trait-like positive and energetic mindset characterized by the perceptions of aliveness, well-being and functioning at work. Five elements of work vitality, that is, perceptiveness, constancy, accessibility, restorability, and transferability were identified through qualitative empirical evidence. Hence, the current study contributes to the existing literature by explicating the nature of work vitality and identifying its elements. Finally, implications and future directions are discussed.

Published: January 2021

Despite various attempts to know the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB), the findings are inconsistent and offer a varying degree of associations. The present study examines the underlying mechanism by hypothesizing impression management (IM) as a mediator to address the element of equivocality in the subject matter. Furthermore, it tests the moderating role of self-esteem (SE) on the impression management to counterproductive work behavior relationship. A representative sample of 398 employees was collected from different organizations of Pakistan. The results confirmed the intervening role of impression management between emotional intelligence and counterproductive work behavior. Furthermore, the employees high on self-esteem showed lesser tendencies to involve in counterproductive work behavior. Theoretical and practical implications have also been discussed.
