Sistemas de efluxo multidrogas e biofilmes em bactérias multirresistentes
Authors:   , Barros Mariana de
Published: May 2023

A resistência aos antimicrobianos é um desafio mundial já declarado por diversos órgãos e se dá, principalmente, devido ao uso indiscriminado dessas drogas. Sistemas de efluxo multidrogas são transportadores de membrana que podem expelir antimicrobianos de diferentes classes conferindo multirressitência a seus hospedeiros e estão também envolvidos na formação de biofilmes. Assim, os objetivos do presente trabalho incluíram compreender o papel desempenhado por SEM na resistência aos antimicrobianos em Staphylococcus aureus e Escherichia coli multirresistentes, detectar sua atividade e investigar seu envolvimento na formação de biofilmes nesses micro-organismos. Após seleção de S. aureus e E. coli MDR de diferentes origens, foi detectada a presença de genes de SEM por PCR, as concentrações inibitórias mínimas (MICs) de alguns antimicrobianos foram determinadas na presença e ausência de inibidores de SEM, bem como a formação de biofilme pelos isolados nessas duas condições. Ainda, verificou-se o efluxo de corantes fluorescentes para demonstração de atividade de SEM. Ao final, traçou-se a relação filogenética dos isolados com o auxílio da PFGE. Os genes de SEM estão amplamente difundidos entre S. aureus e E. coli multirresistentes. Cerca de 20% dos isolados de E. coli tiveram redução na MIC de ampicilina e ciprofloxacina. Em S. aureus não houve redução na MIC de ciprofloxacina e tetraciclina. Utilizando efluxo de corantes, aproximadamente 79% dos isolados de E. coli demonstraram atividade de SEM, enquanto 56% de S. aureus o fizeram. O uso de inibidor de SEM não reduziu a formação de biofilme em E. coli mas a reduziu em S. aureus. Quanto à epidemiologia molecular, os isolados de E. coli recuperados de humanos apresentaram um padrão mais diverso, enquanto aqueles obtidos de animais foram mais homogêneos. S. aureus de maneira geral foram mais homogêneos, com similaridade superior a 84% dentro dos clusters. A atividade de SEM é relevante entre bactérias multirresistentes, porém as tentativas de inibição não culminaram em restituição da sensibilidade, provavelmente devido a ocorrência de outros mecanismos de resistência simultaneamente. Em relação à formação de biofilmes, resultados controversos foram encontrados, e novos estudos com diferentes concentrações do inibidor são sugeridos para conclusões mais contundentes. Além disso, a complementação desses resultados com estudos de sequenciamento completo dos isolados, já em execução, pode fornecer novas pistas para o esclarecimento do papel de SEM na resistência antimicrobiana e na formação de biofilmes em isolados multirresistentes.

Gallstones causes and treatment: a review
Authors: Mohsen Ban Mohan , Mahdi Al-Nadawi D. Fayhaa Abbood
Published: May 2023

Gallstones are small stones found in the gallbladder. The size ranges from as small as a sand grain to as large as a golf ball. About of the American Medical Association, 80 % of gallstones are made of cholesterol, which improves when find more cholesterol in the gallbladder. The other causes have elevated levels of bilirubin and concentration of bile in the gallbladder. About 1 person from 10 people have gallstones, but the most of them are not aware because there are not cause any symptoms. This could be very painful and may be a must surgery or treatment to get rid of the gallbladder. Stones are formed in a number of human organs, such as stones in the kidneys, stones in the bladder, prostate, and salivary glands, as well as the gallbladder. Gallstones are aggregations of rough, solid bodies that may be very small, the size of a grain of corn, and may be as large as the gallbladder itself, or of different sizes between these two sizes.
A systematic review of tapeworms (Plathelminthes, Cestoda) of Columba livia
Authors: Jabbar Alrikaby Nuha , Ibadi Abul-Doanej Hasan Azaati
Published: May 2023

After conducting research and analyzing literature data, it was discovered that Iraq is home to tapeworms belonging to four distinct families, namely Davaineidae, Hymenolepididae, Dilepididae, and Anoplocephalidae. Within these families, several species of tapeworm have been identified in Iraq, including Cotugnia intermedia, Raillietina tetragona, Raillietina cesticillus, Raillietina echinobothrida, Aporina delafondi, and Davainea proglottina. Cotugnia intermedia is a tapeworm commonly found in the intestines of small rodents and is transmitted to cats and dogs through the ingestion of infected rodents. Raillietina tetragona and Raillietina cesticillus are two species of tapeworm that commonly infect chickens, while Raillietina echinobothrida is found in pigeons and doves. Aporina delafondi is a tapeworm that has been found in the intestines of cattle, sheep, and goats in Iraq. The adult worms attach to the host’s intestinal wall and can cause intestinal inflammation and blockages. Finally, Davainea proglottina is a tapeworm that infects the intestines of domestic and wild carnivores, including dogs, cats, and foxes. Infection occurs through ingestion of infected intermediate hosts such as rodents, birds, and reptiles. Identifying these tapeworm species in Iraq is important for developing effective control and prevention strategies, as many of these parasites can cause significant health problems in animals and humans. Proper sanitation and hygiene practices, as well as deworming programs for domestic animals, are important measures that can help to reduce the spread of these tapeworms and their associated diseases.
Reviewing the Efficacy of Federal Reserve Bank Reserve Policies through a Time Series Analysis of the Effective Federal Funds Rate
Authors: T. A. H. Dilpriya , G. H. J. Lanel , M. T. M. Perera
Published: May 2023

The Effective Federal Funds Rate (EFFR) is a crucial interest rate that reflects the cost of banks borrowing funds from each other overnight. This rate is a significant indicator of the financial system’s health and stability in the United States. The rate values fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in monetary policy, supply and demand for reserves, market expectations, events in financial markets, seasonal factors, and changes in regulations. Although it’s challenging to pinpoint the exact factors that cause the variation in this rate, the concepts of time series are employed to identify peak points of such changes. The resulting figures are obtained using R software, and the reviews corresponding to each EFFR value are parallel to the business market incidence in the USA. At the end of this paper, all the EFFR values from the year 2016 to 2021 are included, along with their corresponding reviews.

Evaluación de lesiones foliares y síntomas del manchado del grano de arroz producidos por bacteriosis en Venezuela
Authors: Escalona Yoleidy , González Alex , Hernández Alexander , Querales Pastora
Published: May 2023

El arroz (Oryza sativa L.) es afectado por diversas enfermedades bacterianas que causan lesiones foliares y manchado del grano, sintomatología observada en zonas arroceras de Venezuela. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo la caracterización, inoculación y evaluación de los principales síntomas producidos en hojas y panículas de las variedades ‘Colombia 21’ e ‘IR8’ por cepas bacterianas del arroz, pertenecientes a la colección de patógenos de Fundación Danac. Se procedió a la reactivación de cepas y se les hicieron pruebas presuntivas, fisiológicas y bioquímicas, con evaluación descriptiva de los síntomas. La caracterización convencional permitió corroborar la presencia de Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), Acidovorax avenae, Pantoea agglomerans y Burkholderia glumae, las cuales resultaron positivas (100%) en las pruebas de patogenicidad. Dado que P. agglomerans es la especie más frecuente y ubicua en las zonas arroceras de Venezuela, se probaron en ella tres métodos distintos de inoculación, así como el efecto de las diferentes cepas sobre el tamaño de la lesión en hojas. Además, en la panícula se midió el porcentaje de granos manchados por efecto de la inoculación con las especies bacterianas. Se empleó un diseño completo al azar con tres repeticiones. El mayor tamaño de la lesión en las hojas se detectó mediante los métodos de corte por tijeras y aspersión, siendo la variedad ‘Colombia 21’ la más afectada. En la evaluación de la panícula, las cepas de B. glumae y Xoo mostraron mayor porcentaje de granos manchados, sin diferencias significativa entre ellas, a la vez que la variedad de arroz ‘IR8’ resultó la más susceptible, independientemente de las cepas inoculadas.
In vitro growth of nine edible ectomycorrhizal fungi under a range of pH conditions
Authors: Olaizola Jaime , Santamaría Oscar , Diez Julio J.
Published: May 2023

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are considered to play an essential role in the development of forest ecosystems and can protect plant against pathogenic infections. Among other factors, soil pH may affect the successful inoculation of forest seedlings in nurseries. The effect of pH on the growth rate of strains of nine species of edible ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi was evaluated in vitro. In the experiments, Boletus edulis, B. aereus, B. pinophilus, B. fragrans, Amanita rubescens, Xerocomus ferrugineus, Lactarius deliciosus, Lactarius sanguifluus and Suillus luteus were grown in Petri dishes containing modified Melin Norkrans medium and adjusted at seven different pH levels. Colony area was measured at 7-day intervals for 8 weeks. Final fungal biomass and residual pH of the medium at 8th week were also measured. The optimum pH levels and pH tolerance ranges for the tested ECM fungal species are presented and discussed in the text. The results showed that the greatest growth in vitro was produced by A. rubescens and S. luteus at high pH levels (between 6.5-8.5), and by X. ferrugineus at low pH (3.5-6.5). Almost all the strains acidified the medium where they were grown after eight incubation weeks.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The article describes results of using a medical intraoral scanner Medit i500 to obtain odontological information in a course of the survey of the modern population in the western regions of the Republic of Tuva within the framework of the complex ethnographic and anthropological expedition of TuvSU-CPI under the leadership of E.V. Aiyzhi. The experience of using this scanner occurred to be very successful. From a technical point of view, the scanner demonstrated high efficiency and productivity due to the high scanning speed. The use of an intraoral scanner opens up wide methodological possibilities in conducting dental anthropology studies: first, the use of digital images for further analysis instead of wax prints, makes it possible to expand the research program by including a number of features of both the lingual and vestibular surfaces of the crowns, and the occlusive one. Secondly, the researcher has the opportunity to accurately fix the sequence and degree of teething of the permanent change, which is very important for determining the correspondence of the "dental" and passport age in children, which ultimately makes it possible to assess the processes of growth and development in the population. Thirdly, it allows us to study in more detail the morphology of the teeth, more accurately assess the severity score of the dental anthropology feature. In addition, thanks to the use of the scanner, we were able to carry out an important methodological study on the analysis of interobserver agreement in the assessment of some dental traits.

Abstract. Glaciers are subject to drastic mass loss in the last decades and their importance as an environmental and hydrological resource requires regular monitoring. Geomatics techniques are the ideal tool to survey these complex and remote areas, with different remote sensing platforms and sensors to choose from depending on the scale and accuracy to be monitored.In this case study, the Broulè glacier (Valpelline, Aosta Valley, Italy) was monitored for several years using a DJI Phantom 4 RTK UAV, an airborne PhaseOne camera, and a very high-resolution images Pléiades satellite stereo pair to estimate the glacier's melting and to investigate the possibility of carrying out monitoring campaigns limiting in-situ surveys. A comparison of the 3D models and cartographic products obtained from the different sensors made it possible to estimate the accuracies achievable and check them on rocky areas around the glacier considered to be invariant over time. Although the orography of the area and the poor accessibility did not allow a balanced distribution of Ground Control Points (GCPs) and Check Points (CPs), the RMSE in the photogrammetric models was a few centimetres. An altimetric comparison between the photogrammetric DSMs allowed us to estimate the error at -1.6 m, which is strongly influenced by the altimetry of the terrain.Therefore, although it is impossible to rely solely on satellite imagery for a centimetric survey, it seems possible to continue the multi-temporal monitoring over the years using remote sensing (aerial and satellite) with a previous good cartographic base supported by good field campaigns.
FRACTIONAL WAVELET TRANSFORM PHASE FOR IRIS IMAGE KEY POINTS MATCHING
Authors: Protsenko M. A. , Pavelyeva E. A.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. In this article the fractional phase congruency method for iris image key points descriptors is proposed. The fractional phase congruency is calculated using fractional wavelet transform through the fractional Fourier transform. Fractional Fourier transform is the generalization of the classical Fourier transform. The use of fractional phase congruency can achieve better results compared to the use of the classical phase congruency. The comparison between phase congruency and fractional phase congruency for biometric iris images is given. The optimal parameters of fractional wavelet transform for iris image key points matching are found. The experimental results of the proposed method using the images from CASIA−IrisV4−Interval database are demonstrated.

Abstract. Photogrammetry is a non-destructive, three-dimensional modeling technique that has been widely adopted in archaeology. Archaeological monuments are particularly vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic activities, such as destruction, weathering, and erosion. Therefore, precise fixation and documentation of the monument are essential for preserving cultural layers for future generations. Digital technologies, especially photogrammetry, enable us to obtain better results for the photogrammetric survey. In recent years, this method has been employed in the excavation sites of Shengavit settlement and Verin Naver tombs, demonstrating its effectiveness in archaeological research. To obtain a better view of the stratigraphy of the site, the data was merged with archival drawings of previously collected information. This integration of data has allowed for a more comprehensive understanding of the site's history and evolution.
