COVID-19 associated social stigma as experienced by frontline nurses of Hail: A qualitative study
Authors:   Nursing Department, University of Ha’il, Hail, Saudi Arabia, et al. Alsaqri
Published: June 2021

The coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID-19 or SARS-CoV2, is a family of first detected viruses in the latter part of the year 2019 in Wuhan, China. It has leaped into a pandemic disease in just a short time reaching almost all populated parts of the world plunging economies while causing millions of deaths and it is still emerging spreading with more infectious mutations as of the end of 2020. It overwhelmed Government and health care institutions with the large turnout of infected. The virus transmission effectively occurs in close distance person-to-person interactions and contacts. Among the vulnerable group worst hit are the health care workers receiving the most brunt and social stigma. Health care workers of Hail were not spared and had experienced social stigma too. Such demeaning experiences have led to this study to explore the sentiments of nurses stricken by COVID-19. This study utilized the descriptive-qualitative research methods that include NVivo plus in analyzing the transcribed statements of respondents. The thematic analysis employed yielded the classification of the participants' responses within three themes: Personal sentiment, pessimistic image, and unsupportive environment. The nurses diagnosed positively with COVID-19 felt stigmatized in their workstation and the community during and after complete recovery and undertaking the mandatory quarantine period. Since this study is limited to hospital nurses, parallel research is highly recommended to investigate other healthcare workers' sentiments and determine what allows stigmatization of the COVID-19 patients.
ANTECEDENTES DEL DERECHO AMBIENTAL COLOMBIANO
Authors: KERGUELEN EDUARDO ARTURO
Published: June 2021

El presente escrito hace una revisión a los antecedentes de la legislación ambiental colombiana, considerando los referentes en el derecho romano en el manejo de estos recursos. Antes de la expedición del Código de los Recursos Naturales y del Medio Ambiente/1974, existieron normas fragmentadas y dispersas, tales como: Decreto 1279/1908, creador del Departamento de Tierras Baldías y Bosques Nacionales en el Ministerio de Obras Públicas; Código Fiscal Nacional/1912, que contenía normas sobre uso de los bosques en terrenos baldíos con fines tributarios. El Código de los Recursos Naturales y del Medio Ambiente refleja un criterio patrimonial y de explotación más que de conservación de los recursos. Posteriormente se expide el Estatuto General de Pesca (Ley 13/1990) que crea el Instituto Nacional de Pesca y Acuicultura-INPA; que luego se convierte en Instituto Colombiano de Desarrollo Rural-INCODER (Decreto 1300/2003) y posteriormente se trasladaron sus funciones, en materia de pesca y acuicultura, al Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario–ICA (Ley 1152/2007). El análisis muestra que la legislación pesquera y acuícola en Colombia es muy dispersa, con influencia de criterios internacionales en materia ambiental, con notoria deficiencia legislativa en el sector acuícola, sin claridad en funciones y competencias y sin apoyo concreto de una entidad pertinente con recurso humano apropiado.
LA POLICITACIÓN EN EL DERECHO ROMANO Y SU CONEXIÓN CON LA LEGISLACIÓN MODERNA DEL DERECHO PÚBLICO: Enfoque Aplicado a la Revocatoria de Mandato de las Autoridades Municipales en Colombia, Una Aproximación

resulta complejo en la época actual, definir el concepto de ciudadanía y el rol de ciudadano frente a multitud de facetas de tipo extrínseco e intrínseco que hacen en extremo cambiante cualquier modalidad asociativa y cualquier  creación de entidades ciudadanía-  ciudadanas. Esto, cada vez más se evidencia por multiplicidad de factores que en nuestro medio colombiano y en el más circunscripto, córdoba en donde la persistencia en el tiempo de la relación ciudadano-ciudad, se ve marcada e incidida casi de manera permanente por factores tan fuertes como el político. Todos los derivados del conflicto armado y social en unas múltiples vertientes que interfieren con mensajes poderosos en la relación ciudad- ciudadano e inclusive en la misma relación entre ciudadanos. Corresponde pues, tareas encomiables a entorno dirigencial, componer un marco conceptual que muy principalmente provea solución a las fracturas de las situaciones todas tangencialmente han ocasionado en el tejido social de nuestro entorno y que impone franca dificultad para la correcta expresión de una fluida relación ciudadano con sus pares principalmente, pero también con el estamento político, social y ciudadano.
DERECHO, MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN Y RESTITUCIÓN
Authors: Palma Felipe González
Published: June 2021

El presente texto sostiene que existe incidencia entre las noticias acerca del proceso de restitución de tierras presentadas por los medios de comunicación digital El Meridiano y El País, el número de solicitudes de restitución en Córdoba y Valle del Cauca y en la presencia de opositores en dichos procesos entre el 2012 al 2016. Conforme a ello, se sintetizarán algunos conceptos claves de la investigación, para luego determinar en un análisis cuantitativo si existe la relación planteada y entrar por último a establecer la incidencia en el proceso de restitución del lenguaje que utilizan en la presentación de dichas noticias. La conclusión que se deriva es que, en Córdoba, El Meridiano si genera un clima que incide en el desarrollo del proceso reclamación, mientras que en el Valle se presenta una realidad distinta que no permite verificar la tesis propuesta.
El Derecho De Los Más Pobres A La Vivienda Urbana: La Villa De Retiro Y La Resistencia A La Erradicación Compulsiva Durante La Última Dictadura Militar
Authors: Beatriz Belingheri Liliana
Published: June 2021

La Villa de Retiro está localizada en una de las zonas de mayor valor inmobiliario de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires en la República Argentina.Desde su origen atravesó distintas etapas, algunas conflictivas, vinculadas a la relocalización de sus pobladores y a la erradicación de la Villa. A fines de los años 70, durante la dictadura militar un recurso legal permitió que 32 familias resistieran al desalojo. El triunfo fue clave para su repoblamiento a mediados de los 80, cuando se imponía una nueva modalidad de ocupación del espacio mediante la toma colectiva del territorio.
Characteristics of Antivaccine Messages on Social Media: Systematic Review
Authors: Wawrzuta Dominik , Jaworski Mariusz , Gotlib Joanna , Panczyk Mariusz
Published: June 2021

Background

Supporters of the antivaccination movement can easily spread information that is not scientifically proven on social media. Therefore, learning more about their posts and activities is instrumental in effectively reacting and responding to the false information they publish, which is aimed at discouraging people from taking vaccines.

Objective

This study aims to gather, assess, and synthesize evidence related to the current state of knowledge about antivaccine social media users’ web-based activities.

Methods

We systematically reviewed English-language papers from 3 databases (Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed). A data extraction form was established, which included authors, year of publication, specific objectives, study design, comparison, and outcomes of significance. We performed an aggregative narrative synthesis of the included studies.

Results

The search strategy retrieved 731 records in total. After screening for duplicates and eligibility, 18 articles were included in the qualitative synthesis. Although most of the authors analyzed text messages, some of them studied images or videos. In addition, although most of the studies examined vaccines in general, 5 focused specifically on human papillomavirus vaccines, 2 on measles vaccines, and 1 on influenza vaccines. The synthesized studies dealt with the popularity of provaccination and antivaccination content, the style and manner in which messages about vaccines were formulated for the users, a range of topics concerning vaccines (harmful action, limited freedom of choice, and conspiracy theories), and the role and activity of bots in the dissemination of these messages in social media.

Conclusions

Proponents of the antivaccine movement use a limited number of arguments in their messages; therefore, it is possible to prepare publications clarifying doubts and debunking the most common lies. Public health authorities should continuously monitor social media to quickly find new antivaccine arguments and then create information campaigns for both health professionals and other users.
Reliable Prediction Models Based on Enriched Data for Identifying the Mode of Childbirth by Using Machine Learning Methods: Development Study
Authors: Ullah Zahid , Saleem Farrukh , Jamjoom Mona , Fakieh Bahjat
Published: June 2021

Background

The use of artificial intelligence has revolutionized every area of life such as business and trade, social and electronic media, education and learning, manufacturing industries, medicine and sciences, and every other sector. The new reforms and advanced technologies of artificial intelligence have enabled data analysts to transmute raw data generated by these sectors into meaningful insights for an effective decision-making process. Health care is one of the integral sectors where a large amount of data is generated daily, and making effective decisions based on these data is therefore a challenge. In this study, cases related to childbirth either by the traditional method of vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery were investigated. Cesarean delivery is performed to save both the mother and the fetus when complications related to vaginal birth arise.

Objective

The aim of this study was to develop reliable prediction models for a maternity care decision support system to predict the mode of delivery before childbirth.

Methods

This study was conducted in 2 parts for identifying the mode of childbirth: first, the existing data set was enriched and second, previous medical records about the mode of delivery were investigated using machine learning algorithms and by extracting meaningful insights from unseen cases. Several prediction models were trained to achieve this objective, such as decision tree, random forest, AdaBoostM1, bagging, and k-nearest neighbor, based on original and enriched data sets.

Results

The prediction models based on enriched data performed well in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, and receiver operating characteristic curves in the outcomes. Specifically, the accuracy of k-nearest neighbor was 84.38%, that of bagging was 83.75%, that of random forest was 83.13%, that of decision tree was 81.25%, and that of AdaBoostM1 was 80.63%. Enrichment of the data set had a good impact on improving the accuracy of the prediction process, which supports maternity care practitioners in making decisions in critical cases.

Conclusions

Our study shows that enriching the data set improves the accuracy of the prediction process, thereby supporting maternity care practitioners in making informed decisions in critical cases. The enriched data set used in this study yields good results, but this data set can become even better if the records are increased with real clinical data.

Published: June 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted lives and greatly affected the mental health and public safety of an already vulnerable population—college students. Social distancing and isolation measures have presented challenges to students’ mental health. mHealth apps and wearable sensors may help monitor students at risk of COVID-19 and support their mental well-being.

Objective

This study aimed to monitor students at risk of COVID-19 by using a wearable sensor and a smartphone-based survey.

Methods

We conducted a prospective study on undergraduate and graduate students at a public university in the Midwest United States. Students were instructed to download the Fitbit, Social Rhythms, and Roadmap 2.0 apps onto their personal smartphone devices (Android or iOS). Subjects consented to provide up to 10 saliva samples during the study period. Surveys were administered through the Roadmap 2.0 app at five timepoints: at baseline, 1 month later, 2 months later, 3 months later, and at study completion. The surveys gathered information regarding demographics, COVID-19 diagnoses and symptoms, and mental health resilience, with the aim of documenting the impact of COVID-19 on the college student population.

Results

This study enrolled 2158 college students between September 2020 and January 2021. Subjects are currently being followed-up for 1 academic year. Data collection and analysis are currently underway.

Conclusions

This study examined student health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic and assessed the feasibility of using a wearable sensor and a survey in a college student population, which may inform the role of our mHealth tools in assessing student health and well-being. Finally, using data derived from a wearable sensor, biospecimen collection, and self-reported COVID-19 diagnosis, our results may provide key data toward the development of a model for the early prediction and detection of COVID-19.

"Correlation of Salivary Cortisol Levels with Anxiety in Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients before and after Complete Denture Rehabilitation: An Invivo Study" (Preprint)
Authors: Bansod Dr Akansha , Pisulkar Dr Sweta Kale
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND

Complete edentulism constitutes health care burden, resulting in emotional alterations and a reduction in quality of life of the patients, raising their stress levels. Stressful situations cause increased blood pressure and heart rate resulting in the secretion of cortisol hormone, which stimulates gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis causing hyperglycemia, which may favor the occurrence of Diabetes. As the diabetics population is rapidly rising, Prosthodontists are certain to see more number of diabetic edentulous patients. Thus, there is a need to assess the relationship of complete denture rehabilitation with the generic health of edentulous patients which can be done by checking the stress levels, and their effects on systemic health.

OBJECTIVE

To determine anxiety levels and Salivary Cortisol levels in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients and compare and correlate them before and after rehabilitation with Complete Dentures

METHODS

It will be a cross-sectional study, carried out on edentulous diabetic patients visiting the Department of Prosthodontics of Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital. With consent for participation, Glycated Hemoglobin and anxiety levels will be determined, along with fabrication of complete dentures. Patients will be assessed at two stages; before and 1 month after complete denture rehabilitation

RESULTS

The research has been approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee.The results expected are the significant reduction in anxiety levels after Complete Denture Rehabilitation and thus, a definitive correlation between anxiety and salivary cortisol levels.

CONCLUSIONS

Patient’s adaptation to new dentures can be improved by the professional’s by gaining knowledge of the relationship between dental rehabilitation and the overall health of edentulous patients.

This article explains the dynamics of Samin's movement against the plan to establish a cement factory in Pati (Kendeng mountains), which has been a manifestation conflict that has not yet reached a meeting point. This research was conducted ethnographically with a qualitative approach. While the paradigm used to discuss is the theory of social movements. The findings and discussion that political opportunity arises because the plan to establish a factory that is legally flawed and humanly contradicts a sense of justice. Protests made by the Samin community did not get a positive response, coupled with other disappointments that had accumulated led to the birth of feelings of deprivation as citizens. They feel colonized in their own country which results in collective resistance. Their struggle is increasingly greater with the role of actors who are able to mobilize, form movement organizations, network with various elements of society, and facilitate open resistance. Cultural framing emerges through the spread of the ideology of the movement, where this ideology originates from the teachings of nature preservation raised by the Samin community

Authors: Higa Tereza Cristina Cardoso de Souza
Published: June 2021

A área fronteiriça de Mato Grosso - Brasil e da Bolívia é caracterizada por apresentar acentuadas diferenças no processo de uso da terra e ritmos de ocupação, evidenciando a distância econômica e de políticas de Estado adotadas pelos dois países vizinhos. Assim, no lado brasileiro, o vigor da economia nacional e as especificidades políticas administrativas, têm provocado um forte dinamismo nos diferentes setores produtivos. No território boliviano, as constantes dificuldades vividas no campo econômico e político administrativo, têm mantido quase sem alteração a faixa de fronteira, que é caracterizada por inúmeras dificuldades econômicas. Diante destas dificuldades, tem sido observado um gradativo aumento do fluxo migratório na fronteira, particularmente da Bolívia em direção a Mato Grosso, propiciado pela busca de oportunidades de trabalho e melhoria das condições de vida.Palavras-chave: Fronteira; migração; trajetórias de vida.
Territorio y cafetales en una comunidad mixe en Oaxaca, análisis sobre los cambios en la cobertura forestal
Authors: Juárez López Bia'ni Madsa , López BinqÃ¼ist Citlalli
Published: June 2021

Los bosques cambian dependiendo del manejo que las comunidades que en ellos habitan llevan a cabo, resultando en ganancias o pérdidas de vegetación. Los cafetales bajo sombra en comunidades indígenas han sido ampliamente estudiados en su conservación de la biodiversidad; la mayoría de los estudios se concentran a nivel parcela, pero han sido poco estudiados en el nivel de territorio, lo cual resulta relevante, especialmente en comunidades donde existe una propiedad social de la tierra, por ello, se realizó una investigación tomando como caso de estudio a la comunidad mixe de San José El Paraíso donde las decisiones sobre el manejo del territorio y uso del suelo, incluyendo las áreas destinadas para la producción de café, se realizan de manera colectiva. El objetivo fue reconocer los cambios en la cobertura forestal a nivel territorio, en términos de disminución o aumento de vegetación y comprender los factores que contribuyeron en estos cambios, en relación con la introducción, mantenimiento o eliminación de cafetales bajo sombra. Se llevó a cabo una revisión histórica sobre el uso del territorio, de los recursos de uso común y de las áreas destinadas a la producción de café. Se utilizaron herramientas metodológicas como la observación participante, entrevistas estructuradas y revisión documental. Los resultados muestran que existe una relación entre ganancia y pérdida de vegetación con la producción de café, como parte de las decisiones acordadas en asamblea. La diversificación de las zonas productivas y de la cobertura arbórea se debe al uso múltiple de los recursos del cafetal y del territorio.

Analyzing the barren plateau phenomenon in training quantum neural networks with the ZX-calculus
Authors: Zhao Chen , Gao Xiao-Shan
Published: June 2021

In this paper, we propose a general scheme to analyze the gradient vanishing phenomenon, also known as the barren plateau phenomenon, in training quantum neural networks with the ZX-calculus. More precisely, we extend the barren plateaus theorem from unitary 2-design circuits to any parameterized quantum circuits under certain reasonable assumptions. The main technical contribution of this paper is representing certain integrations as ZX-diagrams and computing them with the ZX-calculus. The method is used to analyze four concrete quantum neural networks with different structures. It is shown that, for the hardware efficient ansatz and the MPS-inspired ansatz, there exist barren plateaus, while for the QCNN ansatz and the tree tensor network ansatz, there exists no barren plateau.

Technology Transfer, Technological Capability, Absorptive Capacity and Firm Performance: An Investigation of the Textile and Clothing Firms in Pakistan
Authors: Nazeer Nazia , Rasiah Rajah , Furuoka Fumitaka
Published: June 2021

Research on the web of technological linkages that stimulate firm performance is still evolving, especially when they differ with industry, timing and location. Generally, firms in emerging nations need technologies to build technological capabilities; however in some cases firms are limited in their capacity to acquire the technology because of their low level of absorptive capability. The rising share of resource-based textile exports, which exceeds clothing exports, demonstrate that little or no functional upgrading has taken place in the clothing and textile industry of Pakistan. Hence, using structural equation modeling we examine in this paper the mediating effect of absorptive capacity on the relationship between technological capabilities and technology transfer, and firm performance in a sample of 503 textile and clothing firms in Pakistan. The results show that, absorptive capacity mediates positively and significantly the relation between technology transfer, technological capabilities and firm performance with the former being stronger than the latter.
COVID-19 organizational support and employee voice: Insights of pharmaceutical stakeholders in Jordan
Authors: Ta’Amnha Mohammad , Samawi Ghazi A. , Bwaliez Omar M. , Magableh Ihab K.
Published: June 2021

COVID-19 has posed unprecedented challenges for organizations and impacts on employees worldwide, particularly in the healthcare sector. This paper proposes a conceptual model to examine the mediating effects of job satisfaction and job burnout on the relationship between COVID-19 organizational support (COVID-OS) and employee voice among pharmaceutical stakeholders in Jordan. To empirically test the model, the data were collected through a questionnaire from 248 community pharmacists in Jordan. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation between variables, and hypothesis testing were carried out. The findings supported the proposed model and showed that there is a direct relationship between COVID-OS and employee voice. The findings also revealed that this direct relationship can be mediated by the work-related well-being dimensions of job satisfaction and job burnout. Moreover, It is found that job satisfaction negatively affects job burnout of the employees. This paper makes significant contributions to the theoretical knowledge base and provides practical implications for the context of pharmaceutical employee management, with broader implications for professions related to healthcare services

Molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of pigeon circovirus from racing pigeons in China during 2016-2019
Authors: Wang Haoran , Gao Hui , Jiang Zhiwen , Shi Leibo , Zhao Pengwei , Zhang Yanming , Wang Chengbao
Published: June 2021

The Pigeon circovirus (PiCV) containing a circular single
stranded DNA (approximately 2 kb) genome belongs to the genus
Circovirus of the family Circoviridae. PiCV infections in
pigeons ( Columba livia) have been reported worldwide. Currently,
pigeon racing is becoming increasingly popular and considered to be a
national sport in China, and even, the greatest competitions of racing
pigeons are taking place in China. However, there are still no
epidemiologic data regarding PiCV infections among racing pigeons in
China. To trace the prevalence, genetic variation and evolution of PiCV
in sick and healthy racing pigeons, 622 samples were collected from 11
provinces or municipalities in China from 2016 to 2019. Samples were
tested by polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that the
positive rate of PiCV was 19.3% (120/622) at the sample level and
59.0% (23/39) at the club level, thus suggesting that the virus was
prevalent in Chinese racing pigeons. A sequence analysis revealed that
the cap genes of the PiCV strains identified in our study
displayed a high genetic diversity and shared nucleotide homologies of
71.9%–100% and amino acid homologies of 71.7%–100%. 28 and 36
unique amino acid substitutions were observed in the Cap and Rep
proteins derived from our PiCV strains, respectively. Furthermore, The
ATT and GTG were highly suspected to be the start codons of the Cap
protein. A cap-gene-based phylogenetic analysis showed that the
strains in this study could be further divided into seven clades (A, B,
C, E, G, H, and I) and some of them were closely related to worldwide
strains from different types of pigeons. A large number of recombination
events (31 events) were also detected in the PiCV genomes from Chinese
racing pigeons. These findings indicate that PiCV strains circulating in
China exhibit a high genetic diversity.

Focusing on existing ‘autonomous’ weapons systems and their uses replaces speculations about future developments and about what robots will or will not be able to do, with attention to the way these weapons are changing and have already changed warfare. The aspects of these transformations that will interest me in this paper are some of the political, organizational and social consequences of the introduction and deployment of various automatic and autonomous weapons systems. Beyond the questions of responsibility and legality, I want to look at the ways in which these weapons change countries’ ability to project power, on how they affect the composition of armed forces, the power relationships within them, and their relations with other major political actors.
Debate on the Ethics of Developing AI for Lethal Autonomous Weapons
Authors: Galliott Jai , Forge John
Published: June 2021

In this philosophical debate on the ethics of developing AI for Lethal Autonomous Weapons, Jai Galliott argues that a “blanket prohibition on ‘AI in weapons,’ or participation in the design and engineering of artificially intelligent weapons, would have unintended consequences due to its lack of nuance.” In contrast to Galliott, John Forge contends that “the only course of action for a moral person is not to engage in weapons research.”

A major priority of the breeding programs is the development of varieties and hybrid plants combining high productivity and a level of qualitative parameters. Equally topical is the problem of achieving their stable level of expression under uncertain climatic environments. Within three vegetative growth periods (2018, 2019 and 2020) characterized with different levels of abiotic stress, 20 varieties of common winter wheat were investigated. The criteria for setting up of the working collection were the genotypes to be included in the Varietal List of Republic of Bulgaria and to cover the groups’ quality levels. The trials were carried out at two locations: the Institute of Agriculture – Karnobat and Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo. These regions have specific soil and climatic conditions and are characterized with different risk factors for the development of the cereal crops. The variance analysis showed that the environmental conditions had a significant percent in the total variation of grain yield, the number of productive tillers, 1000 kernel weight and test weight. Concerning these traits, a genotype x environment interaction was also established. The cultivars with high mean yield from the two locations were Rada, Kristalina, Kalina, Katarzhina and Bozhana. The correlation between productivity and quality was successfully broken in Lazarka, Pchelina and Merilin, which belong to the group of strong wheat genotypes. Under the specific technology for conducting the field experiments we used, cultivars Pchelina and Merilin from group A were with expectedly high levels of wet gluten content and W index. The values determined for Lazarka were lower but less variable. In the group of medium wheat genotypes with increased strength, worth mentioning are Enola, Kristalina, Rada and Katarzhina.

The aim of the present study was to determine the phenotypic diversity in 57 pea accessions determined by conventional CPVO descriptors. The study was conducted in the period 2019-2020 under irrigation conditions in the experimental field of the Maritsa Vegetable Crop Research Institute (MVCRI), Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Based on the analysis, the studied materials of peas do not have anthocyanin coloration; the majority of plants are medium tall with an average number of nodes up to and including the first fertile node; with green colour foliage; common leaf type; flecking stipules; white flowers and two pods per node. The pods are green, short and medium long with a medium width and the presence of a parchment; blunt shape of distal part (blunt ending); an average number of ovules from which develop an average of five light to dark green grains. Five groups of peas were differentiated according to the time of flowering according to CPVO-TQ / 007/2. The hierarchical cluster analysis was applied to identify the similarity and proximity of the garden pea accessions, and are grouped into two main clusters - A and B. The cluster B was the smallest and only genotype FR Ofe was involved in it with the highest values of the pod length and grains number per pod. Group "A" was divided into two subgroups: "A2" with genotype IZK-12, which differs in productivity expressed by the number and weight of pods and the weight of grains from a plant and subcluster "A1" with all other plant genotypes.

The production of clean, healthy and high quality agricultural products is becoming increasingly important. In modern wheat agriculture, research with biological and biodynamic preparations is increasingly presented. With the common variety of winter wheat Venka 1, a study was conducted in the period 2019 - 2020 on carbonate, chernozem soil type, in the experimental field of Agricultural Institute Shumen. The experiment is based on the block method, in four replications with the size of the experimental plot 10 m2. Sowing was carried out in October with a sowing rate of 500 sprouts / m2 after the predecessor sugar flower. In the appropriate periods, treatments were made in 4 variants: 1) Control – untreated variant; 2) Treatment with biodynamic preparations: Preparation 500 + Fladen preparation + preparation 501; 3) Treatment with biological preparations: Heliosulfur + Free N; 4) Combined treatment with the same biodynamic and biological preparations. After the readings of the biometric indicators and the statistical analysis for the first year of the study, a proven positive difference was found in the variant treated with biological preparations on the length of the spike, number and weight of grains per spike. In the second year, a proven positive difference was obtained in the variants treated with biological and biodynamic preparations and in their combination on the length of the spike, number and weight of grains per spike. A difference in the number of spikelets per spike was substantially demonstrated only in the variant treated with biological preparations in the second year of the study. For a proven positive effect in the variant treated with biodynamic preparations, technological time is needed in order to show the real effect of their action on the yield in wheat.
Waqfs in the kazâs of Leskovac, Prokuplje, Kursumlija and Pirot in 18th and 19th century

The topic of this work are muslim pious endowments, waqfs, introduced by
Ottomans on the Balkans. The most intensive Muslim endowment activity on the
territory of nowadays Southeast Serbia was noticed after final Ottoman
conquest in the middle of the 15th century to the end of the 16th century.
The aforementioned period is also the time when the reshaping of the
existing Christian settlements into predominantly Muslim, Ottoman ones
mainly took place. The Ottoman sources on the basis of which this institute
in Serbia is presented, is new, unresearched so far and kept in the Ottoman
archives of the Directorate of the State Archives of the Presidency of the
Republic of Turkey in Istanbul. The source presents the 1839 census of
endowments whose translation and comments are given in the attachment
hereby. In the paper, I compared the sources on waqfs from the earlier
period with the census from 1839. In this way, I was able to determine the
changes that have occurred in the meantime, i.e. which endowments survived
on the territory of the kaz?s of Leskovac, Prokuplje, Kursumlija and Pirot
until the time of compiling this document. According to 1839 census I
determined that at the time of the census there were a total of 70 waqfs in
the area of today's Southeast Serbia, 36 of which waqfs were active in the
Pirot kaz?, 10 in the Prokuplje kaz?, 21 in the Leskovac kaz? and three in
the Kursumlija kaz?. These consist mainly of real property, including
various facilities of religious, educational, public, communal structure.

In this work, the influence of amide?? interactions on stability and properties of superoxide dismutase (SOD) active centres was analysed. In the data set of 43 proteins, 5017 amide?? interactions were observed, and every active centre formed averagely about 117 interactions. Most of the interactions belonged to the backbone of proteins. The analysis of the geometry of the amide?? interactions revealed two preferred structures, parallel-displaced and T-shaped structure. The aim of this study was to investigate the energy contribution resulting the from amide?? interactions, which were in the lower range of strong hydrogen bonds. The conservation patterns in the present study indicate that more than half of the residues involved in these interactions are evolutionarily conserved. The stabilization centres for these proteins showed that all residues involved in amide?? interactions were of use in locating one or more of such centres. The results presented in this work can be very useful for the understanding of contribution of amide?? interaction to the stability of SOD active centres.
