Authors: SHRABANI PALAI , NIVEDITA KARMEE , SANGEETA DAS , M DURGA SATAPATHY
Published: November 2022

Objective: Diabetes is a chronic state of hyperglycemia which results in complications involving organs such as eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Identifying the risk factors at an early stage can help in reducing the complications and co-morbidities of the disease. Hence, the study is carried out to assess the socio-demographic profile and associated risk factors of adult patients with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study carried out in the urban field practice area of M.K.C.G Medical College for a period of 2 years. Multistage simple random sampling was used to select 160 known diabetic cases. Data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were taken. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 17 and appropriate statistical tests were used.
Results: The mean age of study participants was 53.94. About 41.88% and 21.25% were current tobacco and alcohol users, respectively. Inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, mixed type diet, obesity in the form of increased body mass index, and waist hip ratio and sedentary life style were found to be the predisposing factors of the disease.
Conclusion: Early identification of at risk individuals and appropriate intervention to increase physical activity, bring about changes in dietary habits, maintenance of correct body weight could help to prevent or delay the onset of the disease to a great extent.

Published: November 2022

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the therapeutic effects and adverse events of single dose of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (TA) in macular edema (ME).
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted for a period of 18 months in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 100 patients who received intravitreal injection of TA 4 mg were followed up within 1 month of injection and thereafter monthly for 3 months. Therapeutic effect was noted by improvement in visual acuity and reduction in macular thickness. Safety was assessed based on adverse events reported during the study period. The quantitative variables were analyzed by paired t-test and the qualitative variables by Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Chi-square test.
Results: The mean age was 58.66±11.21 years with majority of patients (46%) in 46–60 age group. Diabetic retinopathy was the most common etiology. Fifteen patients experienced improvement in vision within 1 month, 51, 84, and 91 patients had better visual acuity after 1, 2, and 3 months, respectively, which were statistically significant (p=0.001). The mean macular thickness of 497.79±115.08 at baseline reduced to 448.62±112.48 within 1 month which further reduced to 383.72±105.79, 327.33±86.49, and 263.83±68.68 at the end of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months, respectively (p=0.001). The adverse events of rise in intraocular pressure, cataract, redness, pain, floaters, and subconjunctival hemorrhage were not found to be statistically significant (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Intravitreal TA injection may be an effective and safe treatment option for ME due to various etiologies.

Published: November 2022

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the knowledge practice gap of Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHAs) about her work profile from northern India.
Methods: The study was carried out between June 2021 and November 2021. The study comprised all 97 local ASHA employees, who were all questioned using a self-made semi-structured questionnaire.
Results: Data were collected from 94 ASHA workers. 91 (96.8%) of ASHA workers completed 8th standard or more of schooling. 92 (97.87%) of ASHA workers completed training before working as ASHA. Almost all the study subjects had knowledge about immunization activities, accompanying delivery cases, and participation in family planning activities. Very few ASHAs knew that active participation in village health planning, providing counseling to the residents on various health issues and addressing adolescence health issues with residents of the village were part of her work profile. Drug kit stock register, format for individual birth preparedness plans, format for first examination of the new born, and home visit form for high risk baby were relatively deficient with respect to their maintenance and completeness.
Conclusion: ASHAs do offer a variety of services and have the ability to contribute to the provision of primary healthcare, but they must still put their knowledge to use when offering services and/or advise to negotiate access to healthcare for underprivileged women and children.

Authors: SAMAR ABHA , SAMAR RAJENDRA , JAIN SUMAN
Published: November 2022

Background: One of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the modern period is coronary heart disease. The fetal origin concept has shown that the origins of this epidemic can be found as early as fetal life. A few research have compared the lipid profiles of cord blood from pre-term and term newborns, opening the door to early chronic disease prevention.
Aim: The aim of the study was to compare lipid parameters in pre-term and term maternal serum and neonatal cord blood.
Methods: In 300 newborns cord blood and 300 maternal serum samples, a cross-sectional research was performed. The placental side of the umbilical cord was used to collect cord blood samples, which were then examined for their lipid profiles, which included measurements of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and apolipoproteins including ApoA and ApoB.
Results: When lipid parameters from maternal serum and neonatal cord blood were compared, maternal serum had statistically significant higher values for the apolipoproteins, atherogenic index (AI), and lipid profile. Lipid parameters (TC, TG, LDL, very low density lipoprotein, Apolipoprotein B, and AI) were higher in mothers of pre-term babies and also in cord blood of pre-term neonates. Comparison of lipid parameters of pre-term and term mothers and neonatal cord blood was highly significant.
Conclusion: There was a significant association of cord blood and maternal lipid parameters; hence, change in maternal lipid levels might influences the lipid levels in the cord blood of neonates.

Nephropathy is a global health issue that affects more than 20% of the adult population. Nephropathy is expected to be the fifth leading cause of death worldwide over the coming two decades. The introduction of green microalgae in nutrition and therapeutics for their biological activities is increasing. The current study examined the effect of Chlorella sorokiniana on renal health after inducing nephrotoxicity in mice. Preliminary screening of the algal aqueous extract revealed the presence of soluble polyphenols and triterpenoids. Successive intraperitoneal doses of gentamicin were administered to mice to induce nephrotoxicity. Concurrent intraperitoneal doses of the algal extract were administered to the infected mice to evaluate their nephroprotective activity. Two different concentrations of the treatment agent were administered in successive doses to two groups of mice. The tested concentrations were 150 and 300 mg/kg of mouse weight, respectively. The other two groups were either left untreated (normal control) or treated only with antibiotics (negative control). Creatinine, urea, and uric acid levels were analyzed in both serum and urine samples to evaluate the renal health of each animal group. Histochemical examination of the renal tissues was performed to assess the damage and improvement status. In vivo studies revealed a promising and significant nephroprotective activity of C. sorokiniana.

Published: November 2022

Abstract: Radio detection and ranging, that is, RADAR is a radio wave technique to determine the range, altitude, direction of objects. The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves which bounces off any object in their path. It works by launching a short pulse at the ear audible frequency, after that microcontroller listens for echoes. The information about the distance to the object is given at the time elapsed during transmission to the echo reception. The object returns a tiny part of the wave’s energy to a dish or antenna which is usually located at same site as the transmitter. High tech radar systems are associated with digital signal processing and are capable of extracting useful information from very high noise levels.
Animales epistemológicos: el Can Cerbero y el Pato-Conejo: la polémica Popper-Wittgenstein y un atizador
Authors: Ambrosini Cristina
Published: November 2022

En este artículo, dos animales epistemológicos y un atizador serán protagonistas de una contienda filosófica que divide aguas en la epistemología contemporánea. El Can Cerbero y el Pato-Conejo serán los antagonistas enfrentados tal como lo fueron Popper y Wittgenstein en Cambridge el 25 de octubre de 1946, donde un tercer filósofo, Bertrand Russell, también estuvo presente al igual que otras 30 personas. En este escrito aparecerán otras entidades como avispas, leones, gatos, anteojos, escaleras y matayuyos. Todos ellos nos ayudarán a comprender y dar sentido a los debates de la epistemología contemporánea, especialmente como recurso didáctico en la tarea de hacer accesibles estos conocimientos a los estudiantes. En este caso veremos el tema de los límites del lenguaje y con ello de nuestra racionalidad, no ya tan solo para legitimar el valor de las teorías científicas sino también para resistir los embates del pensamiento único.

Rendimiento y bienestar químico: un acercamiento desde la cotidianidad postcovid
Authors: Aragón Milton , López-Corral Alfonso
Published: November 2022

La pandemia por COVID acarreó problemas de diversa índole, no solo los relacionados a la enfermedad que el virus provoca, sino también de corte psicológico, sociales, laborales, entre otros, todos interralacionados para modificar la realidad del sujeto. Es por ello que el objetivo del presente artículo fue hacer una reflexión general del presente bajo la figura del sujeto. El abordaje se hizo desde dos propuestas teóricas recientes: El rendimiento y la Aceleración social. A su vez, se hace un análisis del bienestar químico y la farmacocracia, como aspectos de control que no buscan mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas, sino sólo brindar una percepción de bienestar poco realista, donde también indicen el rendimiento y la aceleración social. Para ahondar en el estudio, se revisa y ejemplifica con el Congreso de futurología, ficción de Stanislaw Lem, que permite conectar las nociones propuestas que consideramos afectan a la sociedad en estos momentos. Por último, se discute que la situación puede continuar, ya que, aunque se ha regresado a una supuesta normalidad, los requerimientos que se les exigieron a las personas durante el confinamiento no fueron retirados.

De los quonset a los pabellones: El impacto del brote de tuberculosis en el patrimonio arquitectónico industrial de Río Turbio. Memoria para re-pensar la arquitectura postpandemia
Authors: Maldonado Mario A.
Published: November 2022

La ciudad de Río Turbio (Santa Cruz, Argentina) se caracteriza por su industria minera activa, y en ella encontramos el conjunto edilicio denominado “pabellones”, que en sus orígenes constituían viviendas colectivas destinadas a personal de la empresa minera Yacimientos Carboníferos Fiscales (YCF).
En el presente artículo, luego de una breve introducción y planteamiento de la metodología, se propone un “hacer memoria” en cuanto a los orígenes de Río Turbio, para luego enfocar en una indagación en torno al impacto del brote de tuberculosis en el nacimiento de este conjunto a mediados del siglo XX, como acontecimiento que marca un antes y un después en lo arquitectónico y urbano rioturbiense: el paso de los quonset a los pabellones. Posteriormente, se presenta el resultado del trabajo de relevamiento y análisis exhaustivo de todo el conjunto, a partir del cual se plantea una propuesta de alojamiento turístico minero como refuncionalización de los pabellones, desde la perspectiva del patrimonio industrial, finalizando con una reflexión sobre la arquitectura en contexto de pandemia por COVID-19 y la posibilidad de pensar en una arquitectura postpandemia en Río Turbio.

The Relationship of IL 17a, Vit-D Levels and some Biochemical Markers with Psoriasis and the Effect of Oral Vitamin D Supplementation on Clinical Amelioration of the Disease
Authors: AL-MALIKI Ahmed Najim Abbood , ADEM Şevki , NAYYEF Hussien Ali
Published: November 2022

The aim of the study was to measure vitamin D levels before and after giving specific doses of it. Patients with psoriasis have an imbalance in vitamin D levels, as vitamin D levels have been correlated with the level of disease progression. Psoriasis incidence rates after administration of vitamin D at a dose of 1 month every day 2000 IU, then the second and third month every week 10,000 IU for period a 3-month indicate that the size of the affected area did not expand or stopped expanding. Also in our study, interleukin-17 levels and lipid profile showed some changes, indicating that high levels of vitamin D may reduce inflammation or inflammatory diseases by contributing to immune system activation. There were notable changes in average lipids and the effect was likely caused by changes in vitamin D levels, which play an important role in lipid metabolism. There was also a decrease in calcium levels.
Service Menaion of the Jerusalem type in the South Slavic manuscripts of the 14th-15th centuries
Authors: Krivko Roman
Published: November 2022

Serbian manuscripts played a major role in the development of South Slavic
Service Menaion based on the Typikon of Jerusalem, which had been introduced
in Byzantium in the second half of the 13th century. The oldest Church
Slavic Menaia of the Jerusalem type appeared on Mount Athos in the second or
third decade of the 14th century. They are all of Serbian origin. In the
1330?s and 1340?s, the Menaion reached Macedonian lands, which were part of
the Kingdom of Serbia. It spread further across Bulgarian lands by the
mid-14th c., and was to become the only type of hymnographic book in South
Slavic lands by the end of the same century.

Such an equation is discussed both analytically and numerically. Moreover, by considering a particular boundary value problem of Dirichlet type, some preliminary numerical solutions are presented.
Risk factors for burn contractures in lower income countries
Authors:   , Fanstone RuthAnn
Published: November 2022

Burns are a major cause of mortality and morbidity especially in low-middle income countries (LMICs). Burn contractures are particularly disabling and can occur in over 80% of burn survivors. Existing literature, predominantly from High-Income countries (HICs), demonstrates that risk factors for burn contractures are poorly understood, with little agreement on contracture definition or measurement. This study aimed to identify risk factors for burn contracture in LMICs to assist in future prevention strategies. Potential risk factors were identified from the literature and a survey of 17 clinicians with extensive LMIC experience. LMIC sources emphasised socioeconomic considerations more than burn or treatment factors, which predominate in HIC studies. An observational cross-sectional study of 48 adult burn survivors with 126 major joints at risk was undertaken in Bangladesh to evaluate 48 risk factors at person and joint levels, with alpha set at 0.05 for comparative analysis. At person level, employment status, self-discharge and fewer follow-up visits were associated with more severe contractures and greater movement loss. Full-thickness burns were associated with more severe contractures as was younger age at burn. Participants who knew about the risk of contracture development or received pressure treatment had less movement loss; refusal of skin graft was associated with greater movement loss. Joints which had pressure treatment had fewer contractures and grafted joints had less severe contractures. Anatomical location of the joint at risk also significantly affected contracture rates, with implications for the design of future risk factor studies. This thesis presents the most comprehensive framework of contracture risk factors reported to date and reveals important differences between current LMIC risk factors and those in HICs. More work is required to improve whole person and joint outcome measures for accurate determination of risk factors for burn contracture. Recommendations for future research and clinical practice are made.
As instituições jornalísticas e o tema da transparência: Análise comparativa dos Editoriais de O ESTADO DE S. PAULO e FOLHA DE S. PAULO em 2015 E 2016

Published: November 2022

Em 2016, o então presidente Michel Temer extinguiu a Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU) e a substituiu pelo Ministério de Transparência, Fiscalização e Controle. Especialistas criticaram a alteração, apontando que a nova configuração enfraquecia o órgão fiscalizador. Levando em conta esse cenário, este artigo busca verificar como os editoriais de O Estado de S. Paulo e Folha de S. Paulo se posicionaram sobre a transparência em 2015 e 2016. Para tanto, realiza uma Análise de Conteúdo de 123 editoriais que citaram o termo “transparência” no referido período. Duas hipóteses são testadas: H1) OESP e FSP se posicionaram de forma negativa à mudança na CGU; e H2) Quando citam o termo "transparência", os jornais clamam  por essa dimensão democrática. Os resultados refutaram as hipóteses, já que poucos editoriais trataram, de fato, do tema da transparência – e apenas um se posicionou de forma contrária às mudanças na CGU.

Objectivity in Social Inquiry
Authors: Cunha Ivan Ferreira da
Published: November 2022

Otto Neurath and John Dewey share the understanding that science must have a prominent role in democratic social reform. This is a common aim that brought logical empiricism and pragmatism together in the first half of the 20th century, but there are differences between the two stances. On the one hand, Neurath sees a limitation of scientific knowledge, considering that it cannot determine decisions to be taken in the course of social reform. Such decisions, in the logical empiricist view, are a matter of politics. On the other hand, Dewey sees a continuity among all forms of inquiry and, therefore, the conclusions of valuational inquiry are analogous in their epistemic claims to the conclusions in factual (natural or social inquiry). This paper investigates the divergence and concludes that pragmatist continuity of inquiry is set in a psychological context that disregards a difference in objectivity between factual and valuational inquiry.

Este artigo argumenta que uma Epistemologia da Conversação deve ser compreendida como um campo da Epistemologia Social que se dedica a investigar as normas estritamente epistêmicas que regem a interação entre duas ou mais pessoas acerca de suas crenças e outros estados epistêmicos. Uma definição elementar de conversação é: um ato comunicativo cooperativo nos quais os participantes assumem propósitos comuns e o compromisso de contribuir com declarações (asserções) relevantes. Partindo dessa definição elementar, o artigo apresenta quatro temas que deveriam ser considerados por uma Epistemologia da Conversação: a) que o desacordo é um motivo relevante para a conversação; b) que a conversação é um meio ou método de investigação em casos de desacordo entre pares; c) que as virtudes esperadas dos participantes são virtudes epistêmicas; e d) que qualquer resultado de uma conversação realizará um bem epistêmico.
Wittgenstein y el Realismo
Authors: Peruzzo Júnior Léo
Published: November 2022

El Realismo es una cuestión significativa en la epistemología contemporánea. La ciencia como actividad productora de verdades objetivas reivindica un alejamiento de todo aquello que puede caracterizarse como notas de subjetividad en la expresión, por el lenguaje, de sus verdades. Este estudio explora la interfaz entre la noción de juego y sus implicaciones en lo que se refiere a las pretensiones cognitivas de la ciencia en producir un tipo de creencia con estatuto de verdad justificada. Para más allá de una imagen exclusiva típica de los Realismos se defiende que la mejor imagen científica es, de hecho, una imagen difusa de lo real. Se argumenta que Investigaciones Filosóficas y De la Certeza, obras tardías de Wittgenstein, se extienden más allá de un posible realismo que puede ser encontrado en el Tractatus.

Objetivo: identificar a prevalência e determinar a previsibilidade de impactação de caninos superiores permanentes com base em uma amostra de radiografias panorâmicas na região Sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil. Métodos: realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico transversal retrospectivo, em que foram analisadas 5.611 radiografias panorâmicas. No primeiro estudo, houve análise de 4.987 radiografias de pacientes com idades entre 15 a 54 anos, em fase de dentadura permanente, para identificar a prevalência de caninos impactados. O segundo estudo contou com 624 indivíduos em fase de dentadura mista, entre 8 e 14 anos, em que método empregado foi a localização de caninos impactados a partir da determinação da previsibilidade. Foram realizados cálculo amostral e análise estatística descritiva, através do teste qui-quadrado. Resultados: foram encontrados 53 casos de caninos impactados com rizogênese completa dentro do estudo de prevalência, assim como uma média de idade de 27,4 anos entre o sexo feminino (60,3%) e o masculino (39,7%). Foram encontrados 46 casos de uma possível impactação em indivíduos com idade média de 11,7 anos, sendo 54,3% do sexo masculino e 45,7% do feminino. Após o teste qui-quadrado pôde-se perceber relevância estatística entre a faixa de idade de 11 e 12 anos com a previsibilidade da anomalia, em contrapartida, não se percebeu a mesma relação com o aumento da idade do indivíduo. Conclusão: com base nos resultados, foi possível determinar a prevalência de caninos impactados em 1,06% e a taxa de previsibilidade foi de 6,05%.

A identificação de padrões craniofaciais associados à Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono (AOS) continua a despertar interesse na medida em que os predisponentes anatômicos podem divergir entre grupos populacionais. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o padrão craniofacial e as principais características cefalométricas de indivíduos brasileiros com AOS nascidos no estado do Ceará – Nordeste do Brasil. Materiais e Métodos: Foram triados 50 voluntários cearenses com diagnóstico polissonográfico de AOS, os quais se submeteram à avaliação clínica, polissonográfica e cefalométrica. O grupo controle foi composto por 25 indivíduos cearenses adultos com oclusão dentária normal, sem relatos de sinais e/ou sintomas relacionados à AOS. Resultados: O grupo com AOS apresentou alterações nas estruturas anatômicas esqueletais, principalmente, um posicionamento inferior do osso hioide (p=0.001) e retrusão mandibular (p=0.012). Alterações também foram observadas nas dimensões dos tecidos moles faríngeos, principalmente, aumento no comprimento (p=0.001) e largura do palato mole (p=0.001), com diminuição do espaço aéreo póstero-superior (p=0.001). Apenas as variáveis cefalométricas SNA (posição anteroposterior da maxila) - (p=0.739) e EAP (espaço aéreo faríngeo inferior) - (p=0.268) não apresentaram diferenças entre os grupos. Conclusão: Grandezas cefalométricas representativas do posicionamento de estruturas esqueléticas e das dimensões de tecidos moles faríngeos se mostraram significativamente diferentes, quando um grupo de indivíduos com AOS foi comparado à indivíduos de um grupo controle.

As ligas de níquel-titânio (NiTi) possuem elasticidade elevada sem sofrer deformações plásticas permanentes, sendo amplamente indicadas nas primeiras fases do tratamento ortodôntico. O Objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a resistência de fios ortodônticos de NiTi termoativados em relação à deformação plástica. Foram avaliados fios de 6 marcas comerciais (GAC, Morelli, American Orthodontics, Infinity e 3M). Primeiramente a partir de modelos prototipados foi simulada a relação entre deformação plástica e deflexão pela distância interbráquetes em 4 níveis de força a 37°C por 30 dias. Um segundo experimento foi realizado através da análise de fotografias padronizadas com diagramas observando o antes e depois de aplicada uma deformação ao fio a diferentes temperaturas. Os resultados do primeiro teste mostraram que todas as marcas comerciais testadas retornaram a sua forma original após sofrer deflexão por 30 dias. O segundo experimento mostrou que os fios da marca GAC e American Orthodontics não apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas comparando as medidas do fio antes da deformação, deformado e após aquecimento (fio aquecido). Já os fios das marcas 3M, Orthometric e Infinity, Morelli apresentaram diferenças significantes entre os fios novos e os fios deformados, e entre os fios deformados e os fios aquecidos, porém, não houve diferenças significantes entre os fios novos e aquecidos. Concluiu-se que nenhum fio, em nenhuma magnitude de deflexão aplicada, sofreu deformação plástica (permanente). Assim, todos os fios das marcas comerciais testadas foram considerados satisfatórios para a prática clínica da Ortodontia no que diz respeito à resistência a deformação plástica.

A má oclusão de Classe III, por gerar uma maior repercussão negativa na face dos pacientes, desperta uma procura cada vez maior por tratamentos ortodônticos estéticos. O aparelho lingual surgiu no início dos anos 70 e se tornou uma alternativa bastante viá- vel para realização dos tratamentos ortodônticos estéticos, associados ou não às cirurgias ortognáticas. Com o auxílio dos dispositivos temporários de ancoragem esquelética, o tratamento se torna ainda mais estético e com menores efeitos indesejados. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em relatar uma experiência clínica de tratamento orto-cirúrgico utilizando ortodontia estética com aparelho lingual. O relato de caso clínico trata-se de uma paciente de 29 anos, má oclusão Classe III, dolicofacial, que iniciou o tratamento com aparelho lingual superior e vestibular inferior, combinado à ancoragem esquelética com placa versátil palatina. Na mandíbula, mini-implantes foram utilizados na região retromolar. Após o preparo ortodôntico pré-operatório, a paciente foi encaminhada à cirurgia ortognática, finalizando o caso com alinhadores digitais para melhor refinamento, além de contenções removíveis. Concluiu-se que foi possível corrigir, em tempo hábil, a má oclusão adequadamente, com absoluto controle dos torques, dentro das exigências estéticas da paciente, através de aparelho lingual superior, vestibular inferior, cirurgia ortognática e finalização com poucos alinhadores.

Physical education can influence students' attitudes through athletic sports activities by exploring the potential of students to excel. One of the athletic materials studied in physical education is learning the squat style long jump. And the antelope jump learning method is a type of plyometrics learning that is carried out using one leg which students do alternately and repeatedly. This study aims to determine the effect of long jump learning outcomes with the squat style by providing treatment in the form of a deer jump learning method for male students of class VII MTs. Nurul Karomah. This research was conducted in MTs. Nurul Karamah with 25 students. The method used in this study is quasi-experimental. Based on the results of the research, the normality test is 0.200, which means >0.05 is normally distributed, the homogeneity test results obtained a value of 0.834, which means <0.05 is declared homogeneous, while the t-test results show that the significant value is 0.000, meaning less than 0.05, then Ho is rejected. This shows that there is a significant difference between before and after giving learning to students.

Published: November 2022

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and death globally. The most common internal modification of mRNA is N6-adenosylate methylation (m6A). Recently, a growing number of studies have been devoted to researching cardiac remodeling mechanisms, especially m6A RNA methylation, revealing a connection between m6A and cardiovascular diseases. This review summarized the current understanding regarding m6A and elucidated the dynamic modifications of writers, erasers, and readers. Furthermore, we highlighted m6A RNA methylation related to cardiac remodeling and summarized its potential mechanisms. Finally, we discussed the potential of m6A RNA methylation in the treatment of cardiac remodeling.
Phylogenetic analysis of small ruminant lentiviruses originating from naturally infected sheep and goats from Poland based on the long terminal repeat sequences

Introduction

Previous gag and env sequence studies placed Polish small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) isolated from sheep and goats in subtypes B1, B2, A1, A5, A12, A13, A16–A18, A23, A24 and A27. This study extended the genetic/phylogenetic analysis of previously identified Polish SRLV strains by contributing long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences.

Material and Methods

A total of 112 samples were analysed. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out on the LTR fragment using the neighbour-joining, maximum likelihood, and unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean methods.

Results

Polish caprine and ovine LTR sequences clustered within group A and grouped in at least 10 clusters (subtypes A1, A5, A12, A13, A16–A18, A23, A24 and A27). Most of the Polish strains (78%) belonged to the same subtype by the indication of the gag, env and LTR genomic regions. Discrepancies in affiliation depending on the particular sequence were observed in 24 (21%) strains, most of which came from mixed-species flocks where more than one SRLV genotype circulated. Sequences of the LTR reflected subtype-specific patterns. Several subtype-specific markers were identified, e.g. a unique substitution of T to A in the fifth position of the TATA box in A17, A27, A20 and B3.

Conclusion

This study provides valuable insights into the genetic diversity of SRLV field strains in Poland, their phylogenetic relationships and their position in the recently established SRLV classification. Our results confirmed the existence of the ten subtypes listed and the readier emergence of new SRLV variants in mixed-species flocks.

It is particularly well-acknowledged that working is a means of relating to the world and
our neighbours. Daily activity, carried out over several hours for several years, serves to
organise in a very specific way our understanding of the world and our neighbours. The
fact is that “within us are impressed the manners of comprehending the world and how we
relate to our fellow men, as they are shaped through thousands of hours of labour, such
that, to a great extent, our vision of the world and life bears the print of the labour we
exert all throughout our lives”, as noted by Adrian Sorin Mihalache. On the other hand,
today’s technology has considerably permeated most occupations, the tendency being that
robots, computers, automation systems, automata and intelligent machines are replacing
people in labour to a greater and greater extent. Therefore, the ever-increasing scope of
gadgets and tech services “reveal the signs and signals of a profound metamorphosis of
labour” (idem), with the overuse of technology leading to the atrophy of man’s powers and
ability to open himself to the world. In this sense, we find great relevance in the ideas
developed by the French novelist and philosopher Michel Henry: “Since the dawn of the
industrial era and as a simple consequence of the progressive replacement of «the working
force» with natural energies, it was possible to foreshadow the diminishment of the
activities of workers to that of mere supervision, which is tantamount to the atrophy of
nearly all the subjective potentialities of the living individual and, thus, to rising
disquietude and discontent”. Our intention with the present study is to attempt a modest
exposition of the teaching of Eastern Orthodox Christianity on labour and to highlight
landmarks that may, on the one hand, shed light on the way to a more profound
understanding of the consequences of the deep metamorphosis of labour we are currently
witnessing, and, on the other hand, to offer clues on the developing position of Christians
to these dynamics.
