Published: June 2022

Periodontitis is often associated with diabetes and might be considered one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), both in Type 1 (T1DM) and Type 2 (T2DM). This cross sectional study was designed to evaluate the possible association between clinical periodontal disease status and glycemic levels in diabetes patients (T2DM) among the population of city Hyderabad, INDIA.

A total of 200 individuals were examined and out of which 179 were enrolled fulfilling the selection criteria were initially given a health questionnaire to gather information regarding their demographic data, oral hygiene practices. Based on Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, they were grouped into: Good, Moderately and Poorly controlled Type 2 Diabetic patients. Oral hygiene index-simplified, CPI and clinical attachment level (CAL), Tooth mobility and Tooth loss due to mobility were evaluated.

Nearly Half the individuals have good glycemic control. (47.5% are <121mg/dl), 29.1% have moderately controlled (<121-180mg/dl), 23.5% have poorly controlled (<181-240mg/dl) plasma sugar levels. Average Patients showed 5-10 years of diabetic history with 121- 180mg/dl fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels. Average participants had fair OHI-S scores. Patients with Good FPS levels showed fair oral hygiene status. Community periodontal index (CPI) scores showed (14.52%) Gingivitis, (20.11%) mild, (8.93%) moderate, (2.79%) severe periodontitis patients with good controlled FPS Levels. Average CAL values ranged between 3-5mm in good to moderately controlled FPS levels. Tooth mobility and tooth loss is less in over all participants.

Patients with high plasma sugar levels were more susceptible for severe periodontal disease. CPI values and mobility of teeth was less in subjects with FPG<126mg/dl. With Loss of attachment up to 5mm was observed. Both Periodontist and Diabetologist individually and together should improve awareness regarding periodontal health and diabetic control.

Authors: Gonçalves-Gumiero Rafael
Published: June 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é realizar o balanço comparativo das obras de Furtado, publicadas nos anos 1954 a 1984, cotejando quais conceitos formaram a estrutura da teoria do desenvolvimento e quais foram ressignificados na sua revisão do subdesenvolvimento. Esse balanço conceitual dirimiu que na primeira fase de Furtado houve o diálogo com os teóricos do centro capitalista e a ressignificação pela sua teoria do desenvolvimento. Na sua segunda fase, a teoria do desenvolvimento manteve a sua base metodológica, mas na revisão do subdesenvolvimento houve fortalecimento dos conceitos relacionados à interpretação das estruturas de poder e da política, como alternativa para desenvolvimento.
Ksiądz Idzi Benedykt Radziszewski – czciciel Serca Jezusowego
Authors: Włodzimierz Bielak
Published: June 2022

Obecna od dawna w Kościele idea Serca Jezusowego zaczęła przybierać formę kultu od XVII wieku. Decydującą rolę odegrały objawienia otrzymane przez św. Małgorzatę Alacoque, ale wielki wkład w propagowanie i rozwój czci Serca Jezusowego wniósł Kościół polski. W latach sześćdziesiątych XVIII wieku biskupi polscy przedłożyli papieżowi Klemensowi XIII memoriał w sprawie zatwierdzenia tego kultu. Stolica Apostolska odpowiedziała pozytywnie zatwierdzając kult Serca Jezusowego w Polsce. Wiek XIX to okres poświęcania Sercu Jezusowemu poszczególnych państw, a zwieńczeniem tych procesów była encyklika Leona XIII Annum sacrum, na mocy której papież poświęcał Sercu Jezusa całą ludzkość. W okresie międzywojennym w Polsce wiele rodzin oddało się w opiekę Serca Jezusowego. W takiej atmosferze przyszedł na świat, dorastał, kształcił się i działał ks. Idzi Radziszewski. Przesiąknięty czcią dla Serca Jezusa już od lat młodzieńczych, ukształtował swoją osobowość opierając się na ideałach wyrastających z istoty przesłania niesionego przez ideę Serca Jezusowego. Według tych ideałów układał swoje relacje z ludźmi, a nade wszystko ich owocem było stworzenie uniwersytetu katolickiego w Lublinie, mającego służyć Bogu i ojczyźnie, kształcić elity katolickie poświęcające swe siły dla dobra społeczeństwa polskiego i Kościoła, w duchu miłości, której źródłem jest Serce Jezusa.

Authors: Mostofi Sarkari Nasim , Rasoulzadeh Yahya , Musavi Saeed , Moradi Gholamreza , Habibi Peymaneh
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Electrospun nanomembranes have been used for effective air filtration due to their potential for active surface modification. This study aims to synthesize polyurethane (PU) nanofiber membrane incorporated with different amounts of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs) along with aerosol filtration from the air.
Material and Methods: First, PU was synthesized by MDI method. A 10 wt% PU solution in DMF/MEK (1:1 wt) was prepared. Various amounts of β-CD powder (0, 1, 2, 3, and 5 wt% of PU) were dispersed in the prepared PU solution. Electrospining process was carried out under determined parameters (20 kV applied voltage, tip-to-collector distance of 10 cm, solution feed, and rate of 1 ml/h). The chemical structure and morphology of the produced samples were assessed by FTIR and SEM, respectively. Finally, air filtration and toluene adsorption of different electrospun membranes were measured.
Results: The highest filtration performance was observed for PU with 1 wt% β-CD nanofiber. Due to increased efficiency (83.13%) and low-pressure drop (∆P = 19 pa), this sample had a considerable quality parameter. The results demonstrated that the membrane loaded with β-CD was able to adsorb hazardous and carcinogenic VOCs. It was confirmed that adding β-CD into PU improves the adsorption capacity due to forming a π complex and having a different tendency against capturing a variety of VOCs.
Conclusion: The study results revealed that the PU nanofiber incorporated with β-CD, along with the ease of regeneration, can make them attractive for air filtration and VOCs adsorption.

Authors: Eshraghi Samani Reza , Safaee Masumeh
Published: June 2022

Background and Purpose: Work-related accidents are those events that occur while on duty in the workplace. Due to the lack of accurate information about the epidemiological status of occupational injuries in Isfahan, the present study was conducted to investigate the epidemiology of workplace accidents.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study assessing the medical records of all patients injured in the workplace in 2018. The list of all work accident patients was collected from the Hospital archives that accounted for 836 cases. The information about age, sex, the season in which the accident has occurred; type of insurance, nationality, marital status, occupation, and the type of injury were extracted. Afterward, they were statistically analyzed using qualitative variables as well as Chi-square or independent t-test. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Based on the findings, the 836 assessed cases had the mean age of 34.43±12.73 years old and were predominantly males (n=812, 97.2%). They were mostly bachelor (n=462, 55.26%) and aged less than 40 years old (57.4%). Soft tissue injuries (53.94%), amputation (13.63%), upper (13.27%) and lower (7.77%) extremities fractures ranked the highest types of injuries. 342 (40.9%) of the cases did not have any insurance, while Social security insurance (48.3%) was the most common one among the supported workers with insurances.
Conclusion: According to the present study, the highest number of hospitalizations due to workplace injuries were related to less than 40 years old young adults who were mostly bachelor, experienced soft tissue injuries. Most of the patients were under Social security insurance coverage, while the significant rate of 40% without any insurance surprised us. The results are consistent with the previous studies. Further investigations with more precise assessments are strongly recommended.

Published: June 2022

Background and purpose: Research has shown that aging affects appetite and energy intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of aerobic training (AT) and spirulina (SP) on Nesfatin-1 and Peptide YY (PYY) in overweight elderly men.
Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 32 overweight elderly men (age 57.50±4.84 years, Body mass index: BMI 26.90±2.85 kg/m2) in public and administrative centers of Bandar-e-Anzali were selected and randomly divided into four groups including Overweight (OW), Overweight-Aerobic Training (OWAT), Overweight-Spirulina (OWSP), and Overweight-Aerobic Training -Spirulina (OWATSP). AT, including running on treadmill was performed three sessions per week with intensity of 70 - 85% of maximum heart rate for eight weeks. The groups of OWSP and OWATSP were provided two 500 mg SP tablets daily in the morning and evening. Serum Nesfatin-1 and PYY levels were measured using the kit and ELISA method. Data were tested using independent samples t-test and ANCOVA at a significance level of p <0.05
Results: Mean weight and BMI in the groups of aerobic exercise, spirulina and exercise- spirulina decreased significantly (P<0.05). The results showed that exercise, spirulina and exercise-spirulina caused a significant increase in Nesfatin-1 and Peptide YY compared to the pretest and control group (P=0.001). Also, the Nesfatin-1 and Peptide YY level of the exercise- spirulina group was significantly higher than the spirulina group (P=0.003). 
Conclusion: AT intervention and daily intake of SP supplement were associated with increase in hormones affecting appetite. It was then recommended that overweight and obese elderly people use this effective combination strategy for its benefits.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Accreditation is one of the most important tools to improve the quality of education in nursing. This study has made a comparative comparison of the accreditation model of the Bachelor of Nursing training program in Iran, Canada and the United States.
Methods: A descriptive and comparative study was conducted in 2021. keywords like "accreditation", "undergraduate nursing", "educational program or curriculum", "Canada", "Iran", and "America" were searched in Persian and English via relevant sites and the Bereday model in 4 stages of description, interpretation, proximity, and comparison was used for comparative comparison.
Results: Accreditation in the Iranian model is more focused on managerial, structural and administrative standards. In the American model, it focuses on global developments in the field of health, providing educational programs with intercultural and transnational perspectives, interprofessional cooperation, distance education, evaluating learning outcomes and using its results in the development of education. The Canadian model focuses on participatory management, inspirational leadership, development of nursing professional competencies tailored to community health needs, team care in various areas of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, interprofessional training, independence and freedom of action in budgeting for faculty members.
Conclusion: Between the three study models, the Canadian and American models totaly specializes in nursing, and of course the Canadian model is more comprehensive, and since there are no specific accreditation standards for nursing in Iran, these two programs can be used as a suitable model to be taken.

Authors: Ningsih Dianita Wahyu , Fahyun Eni Fariyatul
Published: June 2022

Guidance and counseling services in schools help students develop their potential and overcome personal and peer-related issues. Studies have shown a general lack of learning motivation in students, which further lowers their interest in learning. Thus, the current study explored the development of learning interest in students and motivating them in the process. A personality potential test was conducted to see the students’ abilities, followed by continued mapping of specialization classes based on their potential. Because this study was conducted at an Islamic boarding school that has introduced new specialization courses, which include specialized classes in Arabic, English, Tahfidzul Qur’an, and Entrepreneur, researchers realized that students’ abilities and their development vary according to their skills. The method used in this research was documenting, reviewing all articles, analyzing, determining the focus of the topic of scientific work, collecting data from several pieces of literature relevant to the subject, and then drawing conclusions. In total, 25 articles from national and international accredited journals published between 2014 and 2021 were obtained from Google Scholar, Science Direct, Sinta, and lens.org, however, only 18 articles relevant to the topic were used. The results indicated that counseling and skill-building services produce students who are graceful in character and excel in work.

Strengthening Students' Religious Character During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Kholifah Nur , Fahyuni Eni Fariyatul
Published: June 2022

Students need a religious character to deal with changing times and moral degradation. The value of religious character includes three dimensions of relationship: the relationship of the individual with God, family and peers, and the universe. Religious character education that is sourced from religious teachings and muamalah and applicable moral values has been implemented and is firmly embedded in the educational institutions of Indonesia. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers to keep their distance in educating, accompanying, and controlling students’ worship habits and morals, disrupting the character-building process. Routine activities such as habituation of worship and morals carried out in schools are no longer optimally instilled in students. Therefore, in an educational institution, effective and efficient management is needed so that the implementation of character education can run optimally, effectively, and efficiently during a pandemic. The strengthening of religious character is expected to continue even though teachers and students cannot meet face to face. Several studies have been synthesized with previous research to explain the description of character education management during the pandemic. A systematic literature review has been carried out to overcome this problem by documenting and reviewing all articles related to students’ religious character education from 2019 to 2020. The articles used in this study are 26 national and international accredited journal articles accessed from Lens, Google Scholar, SINTA, DOAJ, and Scopus. The results proved that there is a need for strategically managing religious character education to improve students’ religious character during the pandemic.

“THE RAILWAY CHILDREN”: LITERARY EMBODIMENT OF THE FABIANS IN THE POETICS BY EDITH NESBIT
Authors: Kriukova Vera G.
Published: June 2022

The literary expression of the socio-political views of the English writer Edith Nesbit (1958-1926) in the children’s adventure novel “The Railway Children “ (1906) is studied. Nesbit was an active member of the social democratic Fabian society, and her political activities could not but be reflected in her work. Being, on the one hand, the author of children’s literature, and on the other hand, representing the “new woman”, the writer used the images of children to realize the idea of a possible break with traditional gender and social roles. At the same time, the author notes the compromise position of the author in relation to the women’s issue. The artistic implication is analyzed: the poetics of the name, costume and space.

The Bayesian Method in Estimating Polish and German Industry Betas. A Comparative Analysis of the Risk between the Main Economic Sectors from 2001–2020
Authors: Feder‑Sempach Ewa , Szczepocki Piotr
Published: June 2022

This paper examines the long‑term dependence between the Polish and German stock markets in terms of industry beta risk estimates according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The main objective of this research is to compare the Polish and German beta parameters of five Polish and three German sector indices using the Bayesian methodology in the period 2001–2020. The study has two detailed aims. First, to develop a modified, Bayesian approach (SBETA model) that generates significantly more precise beta than the traditional model. Second, to compare the results of different time‑varying industry betas in the Polish and German economies, giving a simple investment recommendation, i.e., which sector could be classified as aggressive or defensive.
The betas were time‑varying in both markets but less persistent in the German industries, which seems characteristic of an advanced economy. The Banking sector betas were the highest in both markets, implying the aggressive nature of that industry in the last twenty years. For the Polish market industry, the betas of Construction, IT, Food and Drinks, and Telecom were classified as defensive. For the German economy, the Technologies (IT) sector was also classified as aggressive, but Telecom was defensive. The results give a valuable insight into the systematic risk levels in Poland and Germany, reflecting the investors' learning process and indicating that Polish Banking and German technologies outperformed the market in the last twenty years.

This paper analyzes the membership of the Visegrad Group countries (the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary) in the European Union (EU). It presents the parallel process of fundamental systemic transformation and integration with the EU in the analyzed countries. Their integration path is shown, starting from the association with the European Communities, a transitional period to membership, through adjustments to the requirements related to EU accession and membership. A comparative analysis of the main macroeconomic indicators, trade development, and the inflow of foreign direct investment showed that the adopted measures and the membership of these countries in the EU positively impacted their overall socio‑economic development, in particular in the context of modernizing and restructuring their economies, which ultimately translated into the civilizational leap of the analyzed countries.
Politics of memory for a New Era? Mainland Chinese historical memory, nationalism, and their impact on Chinese international behaviour
Authors: Bachulska Alicja
Published: June 2022

Overall, the subject has remained relatively understudied. In this context, this paper presents a broader picture of the importance of the topic as such. It does not attempt to present a complete picture of the role of historical memory in Chinese foreign policy. Instead, it identifies the main points of reference that should be treated as the invitation for further research. It also highlights certain new developments that might suggest what to expecct in the future. However, from the perspective of international politics, scientists have been somehow reluctant to study the impact of historical memory on states’ behaviour. In the academic world of IR, dominated by realism, immeasurable factors like identity or culture, have been considered largely insignificant in shaping international politics. If one defines power as one state’s ability to control a given sphere either militarily or economically, intangible factors somehow “naturally” get sidelined. Nevertheless, given the worldwide resurgence of nationalism as a political force shaping international relations and the impossibility of explaining it with purely realist means, some observers have turned towards a re-examination of alternative or subsidiary explanations of factors influencing states’ international behaviour. Northeast Asia accounts for one of the most well-developed regions with the world’s three largest economic powers. However, as former South Korean President Park Geun-hye described, it also constitutes a “paradox.” On one hand, states are able to successfully cooperate on the economic basis. On the other hand, there are a number of obstacles, involving primarily unresolved historical issues and security concerns, that impede further regional collaboration. The aim of the article is to analyse the process of regional integration in Northeast Asia, with particular focus on Japan – Republic of Korea relations, through the lenses of neo-functionalism. The essay seeks to determine whether this approach could lead to increasing transnational ties in the region and ultimately improve international relations on bilateral and multilateral basis. Neo-functional theory of regional integration has been mostly applied to research on the European integration process. Consequently, there have been few attempts of testing its assumptions in other regions. Nevertheless, there seems to be substantial evidence to perceive neo-functionalism as a promising theoretical approach beyond Europe. Since neo-functionalists place supranational, transnational and sub-national actors at the centre of the analysis, the article, apart from the economic dimension, will elaborate on the potential of existing international structure, namely the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat.
Sino-Cuban relations from 1964 to 1995: conflict and reconciliation
Authors: Kruarattikan Sitthiphon
Published: June 2022

The aim of this chapter is to examine bilateral relations between Cuba and China since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1960 till the 80s when both two countries strengthened cooperation. The paper shows reasons for conflict between Cuba and China which started in the mid-60s emphasizing crucial moments like “rice war” and termination of party relations. It also analyzes incentives which led to the process of reconciliation and normalization of bilateral ties. The author underlines the role of Sino-Soviet relations and Sino-American rapprochement as a crucial factors which impacted relations between Beijing and Havana but also argues that China has never seen Cuba as a security threat but rather target for “moral attack” to deprecate Moscow.

Authors: Demczuk Andrzej
Published: June 2022

The Article examines the North Korean missile crisis situation. It starts with providing a background of North Korean nuclear program and identifying primary drivers of North Korea’s continued interest in weapons of mass destruction. The article analyses hypothetical solutions like military action and the ineffectiveness of the economic sanctions. The three solutions to North Korean case start with a plan to prepare a policy of regime transition, and are followed with an explanation why making Pyongyang feel more secure and helping to improve its country economy are crucial to achieving American goal, which is at least freezing its country nuclear weapons program.

Background: Elastic stable intramedullary nailing has become a widely accepted, standard surgical technique for the repair of long bone diaphyseal fractures in children and adolescents however, references for its use in veterinary practice are still rare. Methods: The present study was conducted on ten clinical cases, selected randomly irrespective of their age, sex and breeds; diagnosed with long bone diaphyseal fractures. Titanium elastic intramedullary nailing was performed in all the cases. Clinical, orthopaedic and radiographic examinations were performed pre-operatively, just after surgery and at 15th, 30th and 60th post-operative days. Result: There was an increase in the mean weight bearing score during standing and walking from 0th day to 60th post-operative day. Post-operative radiographic examinations revealed increase in the mean values of bone formation score and bone union scores. The nails were removed easily in all the cases on 60th post-operative day. Five cases had complications; delayed wound healing (n=1) and slight nail migration from insertion site (n=4) which were managed conservatively and by cutting the extra lengths of the migrated nails. The clinical outcome on the basis of functional limb usage was excellent in seven cases, good in two cases and fair in one case. Overall, titanium elastic stable intramedullary nailing had good efficacy with respect to weight bearing in dogs without any systemic adverse effect.

Published: June 2022

Background: Tick infestation in cattle is commonly controlled using chemical acaricides producing acaricidal resistance, environmental pollution and hazards to human health. Biological control of ticks using entomopathogenic fungi can be an alternative to chemical acaricides and can be used in conjunction with chemical control in integrated pest management. Methods: The isolation of entomopathogenic fungi was carried out from naturally infected ticks in Durg district of Chhattisgarh. The species confirmation of fungal isolates was conducted by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using ITS gene as a molecular marker. In vitro efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi at various concentrations against engorged (adult) female ticks and unfed (Nymphs), egg laying capacity and egg hatchability of treated Rhipicephalus microplus was assessed in laboratory. Result: The entomopathogenic fungi isolated from naturally infected ticks was confirmed as Fusarium beomiforme by morpho- molecular analysis. The efficacy of F. beomiforme against adult female and nymphs of R. microplus at the concentration of n x 108 spores ml-1 showed 100% mortality. The 100% reduction of egg laying capacity of treated female ticks and no hatchability of eggs treated with F. beomiforme at the concentration of n x 107 spores ml-1 and n x 108 spores ml-1 was observed.

Background: Pigeonpea, [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is one of the most common tropical and subtropical pulse crops belonging to the family Leguminosae. Bruchids, Callosobruchus chinensis is one of the most important storage pest of pulses in Asia and Africa. The present research focuses mainly on the possibilities of exploring biochemical sources of resistance to bruchids in cultivated and wild relatives of pigeonpea. This is an alternative method to reduce the use of insecticides and could be used in breeding programs to develop integrated pest management strategies for controlling bruchids. Methods: Various cultivars of pigeonpea and their wild relatives were studied under laboratory conditions for biochemical resistance to C. chinensis at ICRISAT, Hyderabad during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The maintained culture of pulse beetle, were used for various bioassay techniques. Result: The results revealed that seeds of wild species C. platycarpus ICPW 68 recorded lowest seed damage by C. chinensis (4.33% and 18.9%) as compared to ICPL 161 (59.78% and 74.40%) both under single and multi-choice tests, respectively. A negative correlation was observed between anti-nutritional factors and seed damage.
