Published: January 2021

BackgroundChronic kidney disease as well as acute kidney injury are associated with adverse outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, little is known about the prognostic implications of an improvement in renal function after TAVR.MethodsRenal improvement (RI) was defined as a decrease in postprocedural creatinine in µmol/l of ≥ 1% compared to its preprocedural baseline value. A propensity score representing the likelihood of RI was calculated to define patient groups which were comparable regarding potential confounders (age, sex, BMI, NYHA classification, STS score, log. EuroSCORE, history of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter, pulmonary disease, previous stroke, CRP, creatinine, hsTNT and NT-proBNP). The cohort was stratified into 5 quintiles according to this propensity score and the survival time after TAVR was compared within each subgroup.ResultsPatients in quintile 5 (n=93) had the highest likelihood for RI. They were characterized by higher creatinine, lower eGFR, higher NYHA class, higher NT-proBNP, being mostly female and having shorter overall survival time. Within quintile 5, patients without RI had significantly shorter survival compared to patients with RI (p=0.002, HR=0.32, 95% CI=[0.15-0.69]). There was no survival time difference between patients with and without RI in the whole cohort (p=0.12) and in quintiles 1 to 4 (all p > 0.16). Analyses of specific subgroups showed that among patients with NYHA class IV, those with RI also had a significant survival time benefit (p<0.001, HR = 0.15; 95%-CI= [0.05-0.44]) compared to patients without RI.ConclusionsWe here describe a propensity score-derived specific subgroup of patients in which RI after TAVR correlated with a significant survival benefit.

Published: January 2021

BackgroundThe relationship between malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis syndrome (MIAS) and self-management ability has not been previously revealed even though both play an important role in the management of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.MethodsIn total, 93 patients were enrolled in this study. A self-management questionnaire was used for the evaluation of self-management ability. The identification of MIAS was based on one or more of the following three conditions: C-reactive protein (CRP)≥10 mg/L, malnutrition–inflammation score(MIS)>7, and the presence of atherosclerosis-related medical records. The possible association between different self-management abilities and MIAS was analyzed with a Spearman correlation analysis.ResultsThere were 40 (43.0%) patients in the atherosclerosis group, and 38 (40.9%), 38 (40.9%), 10 (10.8%), and 7 (7.5%) patients in the MIAS0, MIAS1, MIAS2, and MIAS3 groups, respectively. The group with a score above the mean score of the Dialysis Effect Evaluation and Monitoring dimension had a fewer number of hospitalizations, higher albumin levels, lower MIS scores, a lower level of IL-6, and a lower number of MIAS factors. The Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses also revealed that this dimension was negatively correlated with the MIAS, MIS, IL-6, BNP, number of hospitalizations, and age and positively associated with albumin and prealbumin.ConclusionThe Dialysis Effect Evaluation and Monitoring dimension of the self-management scale for PD patients is closely linked to the MIAS, and a better dialysis effect evaluation and monitoring capacity results in a decreased likelihood of exposure to malnutrition and inflammation.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry: SH9H-2020-T20-2, retrospectively registered January 15, 2020.

Published: January 2021

Background: To explore the feasibility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) metrics to predict the histologic subtypes and genetic status of gliomas (e.g., IDH, MGMT, and TERT) noninvasively.Methods: One hundred and eleven patients with pathologically confirmed WHO grade II-IV gliomas were recruited retrospectively. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were measured in solid parts of gliomas on co-registered T2-weighted images and were compared with each other in terms of WHO grading and genotypes using t-tests. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic performances of ADC. Subsequently, multiple linear regression was used to find independent variables, which can directly affect ADC values. Results: The values of overall mean ADC (omADC) and normalized ADC (nADC) of high grade gliomas and IDH wildtype gliomas were lower than low grade gliomas and IDH mutated gliomas (P<0.05). nADC values showed better diagnostic performance than omADC in identifying tumor grade (AUC: 0.787 vs. 0.750) and IDH status (AUC: 0.836 vs. 0.777). ADC values had limited abilities in distinguishing TERT status (AUC=0.607 for nADC and 0.617 for omADC) and MGMT status (AUC=0.651 for nADC). Only tumor grade and IDH status were tightly associated with ADC values.Conclusion: DWI metrics can predict glioma grading and IDH mutation noninvasively, but have limited use in detecting TERT mutation and MGMT methylation.

Authors: Garnica-Torres ZulyKatherine , Dias Greicyani Brarymi , Pedroso Janari da Silva
Published: January 2021

Background: This systematic review aims to understand the father's experience in the neonatal ICU while accompanying his premature baby. Prematurity rates are increasing; every year, millions of parents faced having their premature baby hospitalized in neonatal ICU without being prepared to face this situation. It is relevant to talk about how fathers feel with the experience of being parents of premature babies. The father-baby attachment is affected by prematurity, thus performing the kangaroo care method with the active participation of the father is vital to promote the attachment between the dyad. Method: The authors will include original father-centered research articles, with measurements made in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Databases included articles from 2010 to 2020, are APA PsycNet, BVS, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and The Cochrane Library (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. CENTRAL). Two researchers will extract the data and evaluate the quality of each study through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and references will be managed in the Mendeley software. This review will not perform a meta-analysis, results will be presented in a qualitative narrative synthesis that includes all the data found.Discussion: This review will contribute to the construction of evidence about the father's experience in the neonatal intensive care unit, as well as how attachment develops between the baby and the father in this field and how the kangaroo care method promotes attachment in this dyad. Ethics and disseminationThis is a protocol for a systematic review, therefore, no approval from an ethics committee is required. We will submit the article to a peer-reviewed health journal, and the results will be published in congresses focused on neonatal, child, and psychological health.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019142086

Published: January 2021

In 2014, an intensive multileader apple rootstock orchard trial was established in Trento province, Northern Italy, using dwarf (‘M.9-T337’) and semidwarf rootstocks (‘G.935’, ‘G.969’, and ‘M.116’) and ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’, and ‘Fuji’ as the scion cultivars. Trees were trained to Biaxis (‘M.9-T337’) and Triaxis systems (‘G.935’, ‘G.969’, and ‘M.116’) with a tree density of 3175 trees and 2116 trees per hectare, respectively, and with a uniform axis (leader) density of 6348/ha. Comparisons across all training systems by cultivar system showed that after 6 years (2019), trees of ‘Fuji’ and ‘Golden Delicious’ on ‘M.116’ were the largest trees followed by ‘G.969’, ‘G.935’, and ‘M.9-T337’. With ‘Gala’, trees on ‘G.969’ were of similar size as trees on ‘M.116’ and ‘G.935’. Trees of ‘Fuji’ on ‘G.935’ produced the highest yield followed by ‘G.969’, ‘M.116’, and ‘M.9-T337’. For ‘Gala’, trees on ‘M.116’ produced similarly as the ‘M.9-T337’, whereas with ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘G.969’ and ‘G.935’ had higher yields than ‘M.9-T337’. When comparing production per ground surface area (hectare) ‘G935’ had higher yield than ‘M.9-T337’ for all the cultivars in this trial. In addition, yield efficiency of ‘Fuji’ trees on ‘G.935’ was similar or even higher than trees on ‘M.9-T337’. Rootstock did not affect fruit size with ‘Fuji’. For Gala, fruit from ‘G.969’ were significantly larger than those on ‘M.116’. ‘Golden Delicious’ on ‘G.969’ produced smaller fruit compared with those on ‘G.935’. Fruit from trees on ‘M.9-T337’ had the lowest percentage of red color with ‘Fuji’ and the highest with ‘Gala’. When yield and quality data were combined to produce marketable yield, rootstock had a dramatic effect on the cumulative gross crop value per hectare based on local farm gate values for each scion cultivar.
Influence of Ice Encasement and Ethylene Regulation on Cellular-protection Responses in Annual Bluegrass
Authors: Laskowski Kevin , Merewitz Emily
Published: January 2021

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua var. reptans), when grown as a putting green species, is sensitive to winter injury such as ice cover. Inhibiting plant ethylene production could be a way to improve annual bluegrass tolerance of ice encasement. The goals of this study were to determine how winter conditions and ethylene regulatory treatments affect the antioxidant system, fatty acid composition, and apoplastic proteins of annual bluegrass plant tissues. Ethylene-promotive (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid or ethephon) and ethylene inhibition treatments [aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG)] were applied to plants in the field during acclimation. Plant plugs were taken and subjected to low temperature (−4 °C) and ice-encasement treatments in growth chamber conditions. Antioxidant activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured along with malondialdehyde content (MDA) and apoplastic protein content in leaf and crown tissue. Saturated and unsaturated fatty acid contents were measured in leaf, crown, and root tissue. Higher unsaturated fatty acids are often associated with greater low-temperature tolerance. Compared with the untreated controls, ethephon-treated annual bluegrass had greater MDA contents, lower POD and SOD activity, and greater saturated and decreased unsaturated fatty acids. Ethylene inhibition treatments caused annual bluegrass to have less saturated fatty acid content and greater unsaturated fatty acid content, a greater content of apoplast proteins, and higher CAT activity when compared with the untreated controls. The activity of APX was greater in AVG-treated annual bluegrass than in controls. Ethylene may reduce physiological health overwinter, and inhibitory treatments may promote winter tolerance by promoting antioxidant activity, apoplast proteins, and the content of unsaturated fatty acids in plant tissues.
How is Archaeology of Religion Possible?
Authors: Kuzmanović Zorica
Published: January 2021

The text discusses the epistemological problems and dilemmas of the attempts to study religious life in prehistory by archaeological means. Among numerous difficulties, theoretical as well as practical, hindering these attempts, a general problem is discussed here: is archaeology of religion possible and on what grounds? This dilemma raised a series of discussions over the last decades of the 20th century, primarily among the English-speaking archaeologists. However, in the tradition of regional archaeology of Yugoslavian and post-Yugoslavian lands this discussion has not been initiated, and the religious life of the prehistoric communities has not been the subject of particular research interest. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to bring attention to the possibilities and limitations of research into religion in prehistory, referring to the recent discussions in wider archaeological community. Two questions are discussed: firstly, how religion is conceptualized and defined in prehistoric contexts, and secondly, how it is possible to make inferences on religion on the grounds of material remains, if religion is understood in general sense, as belief in supernatural, non-material principles. 

The text concludes by the suggestion that the holistic approach, advocating that the religious phenomena should be regarded in structural relationship to all other aspects of social life, is productive if this proposition is taken to imply the scrutiny of numerous correlations between religion and other social domains. However, it is not acceptable to deny heuristic and analytic value of the very concept of religion. The importance of research into religious rituals is stressed, i.e. religious behaviour and practices, that are accessible through archaeological record, as opposed to religious principles, beliefs and dogmas. The orientation of archaeological research towards the field of ritual practices presupposes the effort to discern the purpose of a ritual and its outcomes, i.e. to consider the structural intertwining of ritual behaviour with all other aspects of social life, in accordance with the holistic approach.
Performer’s Body: Cross-Gender Casting as an Estrangement Technique in Theatre
Authors: Obradović Ognjen
Published: January 2021

The main thesis of the present article is that cross-gender casting can function as a Brechtian estrangement technique, an approach which denaturalizes gender and other social constructs. The term “cross-gender casting” is preferred to the term “travesty”, which is mainly used by Serbian theatre critics, because it is more precise and refers directly to gender studies. The theoretical framework of our analysis is constituted by theatre and performance studies on the one hand, and gender studies on the other. The concept of performance introduced by Erica Fischer-Lichte helps us to understand the tension between the “phenomenal body” and the “semiotic body” of the performer, which is increased by cross-gender casting. The result of this tension is the phenomenon we call “cross-gender effect”. The new amalgam-body is best described as queer because it is simultaneously perceived as both male and female. The ambivalent impact it has on the audience could be understood through the concepts of otherness and Julia Kristeva’s abjection. In order to explain the difference between male-to-female and female-to-male cross-gender casting, we discuss two Serbian performances: Gospođa Ministarka / Mrs Minister (Boško Buha Theatre, 2013) and Skup (Yugoslav Drama Theatre, 2002). The cross-gender effect is more intense in the first example because female physical bodies are generally more easily absorbed by male semiotic bodies. By its capacity to denaturalize “the normal” in the patriarchal worlds of Nušić and Držić, the cross-gender technique brings about new meanings, some of which may even have eluded the creators of the analyzed performances.
Crossroads and Barriers on the Roman Border: Institutional Authority, Roman Heritage and the “Đerdap” Projects
Authors: Cvjetićanin Tatjana B.
Published: January 2021

Although “the archaeological research in the Đerdap area represents the most important crossroad in Serbian archaeology” (Bikić i Šarić 2017, 67), the role of the two large research projects Đerdap I and II in the development of the discipline and the local archaeological community remains to be thoroughly reconsidered. In search for the answer whether the vast corpus of archaeological material and information gained in the course of these projects influenced the shift in interpretation of the Roman past and in presentation of the Roman frontier on the Danube, the paper presents certain scientific and research aspects and the consequences of the projects for the interpretive framework of the Roman period.

It may be expected that, just as the fieldwork itself was a large opportunity for professional training and growing, the huge amount of information on the Roman border collected during the projects became a constant source for further consideration and disciplinary growth. The innovations introduced – multi-disciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, preventive conservation and integral protection of heritage – foreshadowed the space for testing of ideas. However, the archaeological record of the Roman period, approached from the culture-historical point of view, dominant at the time, is still principally interpreted according to the concepts formed in 19th century and significantly reconsidered over the last couple of decades. The majority of the recovered material is not published yet, the limited access to the “finds in boxes” obliges current researchers to work on the base of available publications, and the confidence in “discoveries” induces the transfer of ideas of original researchers without further reconsideration. The abandonment of the concept of Romanization is slow, mainly due to the institutional “keepers”, as illustrated by chosen examples, e.g. the monograph Vivere Militare est. From Populus to Emperors – living on the Frontier (Golubović, Mrđić 2018) and the exhibition Roman Limes and Cities in Serbia, organized on the occasion of the 24th International Limes-Congress, as well as the new permanent display of the National Museum, opened in 2018. It may be concluded that the constant affirmation of institutional authority, where the archaeological heritage of the Roman frontier acts as an academic symbolic capital, is more important than multivocal interpretation and presentation.

Published: January 2021

In this study, the influence of the spatial arrangement of shallow wells and pit latrines on water quality was evaluated in clayey soil during dry and rainy seasons, using 123 randomly selected wells. The distance between well and the nearest latrine was measured and the location of the well in the yard was characterized. The colony forming units (CFU/100 mL) of fecal coliforms were quantified, and pH, electrical conductivity (CE) and turbidity were measured. 100% of the wells were located less than 25 m from the latrine, 74.8% were located in the middle of the yard. In the dry season, 42.4% of the samples presented up to 12 CFU/100 mL, and in the rainy season, 84.4% presented up to 139 CFU/100 mL. 56.9% had pH values between 6.5 and 8.5, and 63.4% presented EC values between 50 and 571 μS/cm. In the dry season, 40.7% of the samples had values below 5 NTU, and 59.3% up to 50 NTU. In the rainy season, 86.6% had values between 6 and 300 NTU. Pearson's correlation between all variables was weak. The wells are susceptible to high fecal contamination, although the clayey soil seems to mitigate the expected high levels of microbial contamination.

Transmembrane integrin receptors represent a major component of cell-extracellular matrix
(ECM) communications that mediate cellular biological activities, including proliferation and
differentiation. Stem cells, especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), have rapidly emerged as
promising therapies for various diseases. Dynamic links exist between extracellular and intracellular
environments that profoundly influence the cellular activities via integrin receptors, such as cell
morphology transformation and differentiation. Interpreting the roles of integrin receptors in the
regulation of MSC differentiation may potentially lead to an amplified therapeutic effect. In this review,
we summarize, for the first time, the potential mechanisms by which integrins promote MSC
multilineage differentiation, including integrin downstream signaling cascades and the interactions
between integrin and ion channels, the cytoskeleton, and nuclear mechanoresponses. Furthermore,
we focus on the current state and future prospects of the application of integrins to promote cell differentiation.

Authors: Gupta Deena Nath , Kumar Rajendra
Published: January 2021

IoT is the networking of daily use objects. These objects are commonly known as constrained
devices. Constrained devices work with low memory, low storage, and low computation power.
Implementing security algorithms in these devices is challenging. The researchers take these challenges
as an opportunity.

The diverse and heterogeneous structure of the IoT phenomenon introduces a variety of new security
risks and challenges. Many threats such as botnets, home intrusion, remote control of the IoT devices,
and man-in-the-middle attacks are threatening the IoT environment. Hence, it needs stronger security
implementation to protect IoT devices from being compromised.

The authors survey different kinds of networking technologies under an IoT environment, security challenges
on them, and possible countermeasures for these challenges to form a more secure IoT environment
for trustful adaptation of services through industrial or personal use.

In this paper, the authors presented the study of numerous networking technologies, along with possible
threats and their countermeasures.

Expondo a negatividade no âmago das ‘máscaras de Lazarim’ e da ‘Arte Negra'
Authors: Figueiredo João
Published: January 2021

In this chapter I will focus on the challenge of exhibiting ethnographic objects in their negative essence. This implies understanding them not as representations of other cultures or societies, but as traces of a traumatic event. By adopting this alternative understanding, I hope to avoid the pitfalls of including these objects in categories such as ‘African Art’ or ‘Lazarim masks’ (a specific kind of Heritage). Throughout this chapter I draw from the works of Achille Mbembe, Jean-François Lyotard and Yuk Hui, and get inspiration from Japanese Zen critiques of western representational metaphysics. To face the aesthetic challenge at hands, I will begin by analysing the traumatic events at the origin of both categories, explaining why I opted to work them together and then mapping their common genealogy. Afterwards, I will briefly explore their historical connections. As a conclusion, I will propose an ‘anti-heritage’ take on the exhibition of Lazarim masks’ that can inspire decolonized displays of ‘African Art’.

Published: January 2021

Law No. 6 of 2014 on Villages (Village Law) appears to construct Village-Owned Enterprise or Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUM Desa) as a new form of business entity within the Indonesian legal sphere. BUM Desa is considered to be different from other variants of business entities in Indonesia. There are multiple interpretations regarding the status of BUM Desa, debating whether they are legal entities or not. This normative legal research discusses the legal aspects of BUM Desa following the promulgation of the Village Law. It concludes that: (1) theoretically BUM Desa meets the criteria as a public legal entity. The issuance of Law No.11 of 2020 on Job Creation confirms the status of BUM Desa as a legal entity; (2) BUM Desa is a public business entity with a unique character to villages different from other forms of business entity with private ownership such as limited companies and cooperatives. However, legal provisions on BUM Desa still contain logical inconsistencies regarding the basic conception of BUM Desa and Law 12/2011 does not yet include Perdes as statutory regulation. The confirmation of the status of BUM Desa legal entities needs to be complemented by synchronization with Law 12/2011 to strengthen the position of Perdes as the legal basis for the establishment of BUM Desa along with various other sectoral regulations

COLLATERAL BLOOD FLOW IN THROMBOSIS IN THE ANKLE-POPLITEAL AND POPLITEAL-FEMORAL SEGMENTS OF THE VENOUS SYSTEM OF THE LOWER LIMBS WITH INVOLVEMENT POPLITEAL VENOUS COLLECTOR
Authors: Popovich Y. М. , Rusin V. V. , Kochmarh О. М. , Shitev А. І.
Published: January 2021

Thrombosis of the veins of the lower extremities plays a significant role in vascular pathology. Lifestyle, concomitant pathologies and provoking factors disrupt the stability of the Virchow's Triad and lead to thrombosis, severe complications and adverse long-term consequences.

The aim of research: to evaluate the compensatory possibilities of the collateral blood flow in the popliteal venous collector in the acute venous thrombosis.

Rationale for the research. Normally, 90% of blood flows through the main veins. At their thrombosis there is a redistribution of outflow and the most part of blood is taken away by collateral vessels. Knowledge of the functional capabilities of collateral blood flow is an additional criterion for predicting possible complications and severity of the disease.

Methods. The analysis is made of results examination and operative treatment of 790 patients with the acute thrombosis in the vena cava inferior system and being treated at the Transcarpathian Regional Clinical Hospital A. Novak and the Transcarpathian Regional Clinical Oncology Center during 2006 – 2016. Laboratory examination methods were used to examine patients, including instrumental ones: ultrasound duplex scanning, X-ray phlebography, СТ, radionuclide phleboscintigraphy and ultrasound scanning of heart. During the radionuclide phleboscintigraphy of patients at rest and during physical activity, the function of the muscle-venous pump of the tibial was evaluated: the average transport time, the linear speed of blood flow and the loading index.

In patients with thrombosis of the tibia-popliteal venous segment, a significant slowing of the passage of radiopharmaceutical on the deep venous system was observed, which is reflected in the increase of the average time of transport through the veins of the tibia and femoral to 59.4 ± 4.02 s, reducing the linear speed of blood flow to 2.1 0.61 cm / s and load index up to 1.6 ± 0.49 units, in this case, deep veins are contrasted unevenly, the phleboscintigrams showing the image of collateral, mainly muscular, and subcutaneous veins, through which the main blood flow from the extremity can take place. In this case, the correlation of volume blood flow of the main and collateral veins averaged 40% and 60%, respectively.

Conclusions. The absence of valves in the muscular venous sinuses of the tibial, their larger diameter relative to the other veins of the tibial, and prolonged hypodynamia, adversely affect the work of the muscle-venous pump, which is one of the preconditions for thrombus formation in this area. In this case, the formation of thrombotic masses in the deep veins of the lower extremity in 89.2% of patients begins in the small muscular branches of the tibia, and their spread to the popliteal vein creates optimal conditions for fragmentation and thromboembolism.

Russische en Franse krijgsgevangenen in Gent tijdens de eerste wereldoorlog.
Authors: Dhanens Piet
Published: January 2021

Franse en Russische krijgsgevangenen werden in Gent ingezet tijdens W.O.I . Ze vielen soms als slachtoffer van luchtaanvallen. Uit de datums van overlijden op de graven staat vast dat deze krijgsgevangenen sinds half 1917 tot midden 1918 in het Gentse ondergebracht waren. Franse en Russische krijgsgevangenen werden o.m. tewerkgesteld bij de uitbouw van het vliegveld te Drongen-Mariakerke.
Schepenenvijverstraat.

De Schepenenvijverstraat in de Overschelde- of Brabantwijk herinnert aan een verdwenen waterloop, de Schepenenvijver. De naam is raadselachtig. Was het een vijver met schepen? Of een vijver van de schepenen? Wat hadden de Gentse schepenen daar zo speciaal mee te maken?
Het casino aan de Coupure gezien door tijdgenoten (1838 en 1905).
Authors: De Vleeschouwer Herbert
Published: January 2021

Rond 1825 draaide er nabij het huidige Casinopleintje en de Coupure een wind molen (afb. 1). De omgeving was nog erg landelijk. Dit veranderde kort daarna snel. We krijgen een goed idee van het Gentse Casino via een fragment uit de Guide du voyageur en Belgique (1838) van Auguste Gobert, geschreven kort na na de voltooiing van het gebouw (vertaling Herbert De Vleeschouwer en lichtjes bewerkt). Aan het einde van dit artikeltje wordt de meer recente geschiedenis kort toegelicht.

Criminaliteit in Gent in de vorige eeuw.
Authors: Rys Cdt
Published: January 2021

Een gestencild rapport getiteld ‘Criminaliteit te Gent’ opgemaakt door kapitein-kommandant Rys circuleerde in beperkte kring onder Gentse rijkswachters, destijds in de Ridderstraat. De tekst is gebaseerd op archiefgegevens verzameld en bewaard door de rijkswacht met de BOB (Bijzondere Opsporings Brigade) en, zoals in de inleiding aangegeven, ‘eigen ondervinding en vaststellingen’. Naast talrijke cijfers uit de jaren 1950-1954 bevat het rapport enkele beschrijvingen van probleemtoestanden.
Een kleine Gentse stokers- en brouwersgeschiedenis aan de Apostelhuizen - Koepoortkaai (1831-1929).
Authors: Hanson Marc
Published: January 2021

Karel August Minne (Gent 1822-Gent 1895), de koper van ‘De Wereld’, kende die (stokerij)brouwerij al heel lang, want hij groeide op in haar buurt. Als opgroeiende jongen en jongeman leerde Karel de familie van Joannes Spilthoorn, die amper een boogscheut verder een stokerij/brouwerij had, goed kennen.
Een wandelingsken in ‘t ronde van Gent: Herinneringen en schetsen. Naar Lodewijk De Vriese

In 1916 liet Lodewijk De Vriese, journalist, folklorist en verhalenverteller pur sang in het Zondagsblad van Vooruit een reeks artikeltjes verschijnen onder bovenstaande titel. Met verve vertelt Lodewijk overtoestanden die toen, nu een eeuw geleden, grotendeels al verleden tijd waren. In deze reeks presenteren we een lichtjes gemoderniseerde versie van zijn ‘wandelinksken’.
Op de Gentse vogelmarkt ‘groot rumoer, kijven ende claegen’ op de markt (1661).
Authors: Devriese Luc
Published: January 2021

De hiernavolgende episode speelt zich in 1661 af in de buurt van de Vogelmarkt, een plek die meermaals, maar vooral na de afbraak van het Klein Vlees huis in 1821, grondig veranderde van uitzicht. Het zat daar aan de oostzijde van de Kouter een beetje moeilijk. Dat plein was via nauwe steegjes verbonden met de Kortedagsteeg en de weg naar het oosten, de Brabantdam.

Tijdens een zoektocht naar het verleden van het huis aan de Filips van Arteveldestraat nr. 35, ingericht als jeugdhostel KABA, kwam een wel heel speciale bewoner aan het licht: Franciscus Hillaert. Ook nu nog is hij bij tal van Gentenaars gekend als Siesken de Gistmarchand die in een zotte bui eigenaar werd van Betsy, de olifant van de Gentse zoo, ‘den beestenhof’.

Rijksnormaalschool, Hogent – Departement Lerarenopleiding K.L. Ledeganckstraat
Authors: Daniel Van Ryssel
Published: January 2021

Na de onafhankelijkheid in 1830 werd de vrijheid van onderwijs vastgelegd. Daarvan maakte de kerkelijke overheid gebruik om o.a. overal normaalscholen op te richten. Zo ook in Gent, waar de opleiding verbonden was aan het bisschoppelijk Klein Seminarie. De stad van haar kant vertrouwde de vorming van ondermeesters voor de stadsscholen toe aan Pieter Jonglas. Pas in 1861 kwam in Gent een wettelijkerkende rijksinstelling voor de vorming van onderwijzers tot stand in de Onderstraat.

Antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary practice and animal production is important from a One Health perspective. The ADKAR® change management model is a well-known strategy to implement behavioral change in people and small businesses. The objective of this study was to adapt the existing ADKAR® change management model to enable herd veterinarians to profile farmers with regard to antimicrobial stewardship. Therefore, an antimicrobial stewardship related scoring scale was defined. Subsequently, ADKAR® profiles of 26 poultry and 28 pig farmers from Belgium and the Netherlands were determined. For 57% of the farmers, perception and/or motivation were expected to limit successful change. For 70% of the farmers, knowledge and for 52% of the farmers, a lack of ability were the limiting factor. The ADKAR® model proved useful for identifying the key elements that prevent successful behavioral change in farmers to reduce the use of antibiotics in farm animals.
Treatment of copper deficiency in Texel-crossbred sheep by the feeding of a concentrate formulated for dairy cows
Authors: Noorman L. , Antonis A. F. G. , Jorritsma R. , Schonewille J. T.
Published: January 2021

Six Texel-crossbred sheep, from a flock with a history of a dull appearance and mild diarrhea, were presented to the faculty of veterinary medicine (University of Utrecht) . The clinical signs were found to be related to Copper (Cu) deficiency as indicated by low hepatic Cu values. It was decided to treat the animals by feeding them concentrates specifically formulated for dairy cows because such concentrates have a rather high Cu content compared to concentrates designed for sheep. Sheep Cu status was monitored by measuring liver Cu concentrations. Current results indicate the potential of feeding cow concentrate as a practical method to treat Cu deficiency in Texel-crossbred sheep. In contrast to hepatic Cu concentrations, serum Ceruloplasmin concentration (Cp) values did not respond to the treatment thereby indicating that serum Cp is inferior to evaluate Cu status in sheep compared to liver Cu measurements.
