Targeted and economically justified livestock breeding, considering the biological characteristics of growing animals, is a key issue in dairy farming. One of the insufficiently studied aspects of livestock breeding is the period of animal development from the first insemination to the first lactation, which affects their safety, productivity, and reproductive capacity. The study was conducted at the breeding station of the Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breed of the state enterprise "Kutuzivka" in Kharkiv district, Kharkiv region, Ukraine. Animals born in different years differed in growth intensity, reproductive performance, and productivity. At the same time, there was a tendency for the milk yield of first-born heifers to improve with an increase in live weight gain from insemination to the first lactation. According to the results of the correlation analysis, this weight gain had a significant relationship with age and live weight at first insemination, milk yield for 90 days, milk yield for 150 days, milk yield for 305 days of lactation, and live weight at first lactation. The survival rate of all first-born heifers with a weight gain of more than 146 kg was 16–21% higher compared to animals with a lower weight gain. Also, such animals had the highest milk yields for all lactation periods. Their advantage in milk yield was 234 kg for the first 90 days of lactation, 331–381 kg for 150 days of lactation, and 573–675 kg for 305 days of lactation. Groups of animals with different live weight gain after the first insemination also had significant differences in the duration of the service period and the number of stillborn calves. The results of the study concluded that the animals with the highest gain were significantly younger and had a higher live weight at insemination as well as the highest live weight in the first lactation. The early maturation of replacement heifers will contribute to the intensive reproduction of the herd, which will increase the profitability of the dairy industry. Further research is needed to determine the effect of growth intensity on the reproductive performance of second and subsequent lactation cows and calf safety.

The concept of oxidative stress, which is a development of D. Harman’s idea of random harmful tissue damage by free radicals, remains one of the most popular in the study of pathological processes, including age-dependent chronic changes. The work tested the hypothesis according to which, a shift in equilibrium towards pro-oxidants, i.e. oxidative stress, is the primary adaptive response of the body to exogenous toxic environmental factors. To test this, a number of indicators of the redox system were determined as a response to hepatotoxic compounds of different nature (copper sulfate and carbon tetrachloride) in young and old animals. The amount of lipid hydroperoxides and the activity of a number of antioxidant enzymes were determined in the blood serum of young (3 months) and old (20 months) rats before exposure (initial level) and after repeated sequential injections (3 injections) of copper sulfate at a dose of 1 mg/100 g body weight and carbon tetrachloride in a dose of 0.1 mL in 50% vegetable oil. It was found that in intact (initial level) old animals, the indicators of the redox system are shifted towards antioxidants. After three consecutive administrations of various hepatotoxic compounds, with an interval of 48 hours between administrations, the balance shifted towards pro-oxidants, regardless of the inducer, however, this effect was more pronounced in old animals compared to young ones, relative to their initial level. Such different reactivity of redox system indicators in animals of different ages led to the “evening out” of the initially different redox system indicators. We came to the conclusion that changing the balance in the pro-oxidant-antioxidant system is a universal, primary reaction of the body to endogenous or exogenous factors that perform regulatory functions and, depending on the temporal and functional characteristics of the body, are “transformed” into specific physiological manifestations.

The use of highly decorative and beautifully flowering shrubs in urban green spaces, especially in sharply continental climatic conditions, is extremely important. In this regard, representatives of the genus Weigela are highly valued in the in different climatic conditions. The main indicators of eco-physiological adaptability of plants, such as intensity of transpiration and photosynthetic productivity, water deficiency and the total water content, quantity of the plastids, have been studied for the representatives of highly ornamental shrubs of the genus Weigela Thumb. The object of the research was the following representatives of the genus Weigela: W. praecox, W. coraeensis, W. floribunda, W. florida and W. florida ʺVariegataʺ, which were introduced into different climatic conditions in order to climate train and replenish the dendro-collections. Physiological research was conducted, during the vigorous vegetative period (May–June months). All the measurements were carried out within the 11:00–13:00 time period, in 9 repetitions (7–10 shoots were chosen for each sample). The nature of ecological adaptability of the studied species, along with the perspective of their application in the landscaping practices in different climatic zones was revealed. At the same time it was revealed that the studied species can be used not only as solitary plants (especially on the background of green lawns) but also in groups in long blooming gardens (with flowers with different colours and blooming phases) and in decorating rock gardens.

Campylobacter spp. are major foodborne zoonotic pathogens that have recently become more resistant to fluoroquinolones and macrolides, which are broad-spectrum antibiotics used in both medicine and veterinary practice. Campylobacter is a commensal of the intestines of mammals and birds, which facilitates the transfer of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants from other bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence and determine the AMR phenotypes of Campylobacter species isolated in Ukraine. Using the disk diffusion method (DDM), 33 isolates of Campylobacter spp. isolated from animals and poultry on farms between May and September 2023 were tested. Additionally, an analysis of the resistance of 293 Campylobacter spp. isolates obtained from children with acute intestinal infections from 2020 to 2023 was conducted. The level of resistance of clinical Campylobacter spp. to ciprofloxacin (CIP) was found to be 83.3%, to tetracycline (TE) 53.6%, to erythromycin (E) 11.6%, and the isolates from farms showed resistance to ciprofloxacin (CIP) at 72.7%, to tetracycline (TE) at 60.6%, and to erythromycin (E) at 18.2%. In 4.1% of clinical isolates, multidrug resistance (MDR) (CIP/TE/E) was detected, with the most common AMR combination being (CIP/TE), reaching 42.7%. Resistance to at least one antibiotic was found in 37.8%. The isolates from animals and poultry had a multiple antibiotic resistance rate of 12.1%, with 42.4% being resistant to at least one antibiotic. This study provides insight into the relevance and importance of Campylobacter spp. resistance in Ukraine. It expands the understanding of the issue, which requires more detailed study, including the molecular mechanisms of resistance and the identification of genetic determinants shaping the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in Ukraine. For this purpose, a collection of isolates has been created, and optimal long-term storage conditions have been selected, which will allow the study of Campylobacter spp. decades from now.

Aim. To study the possible relationship between personal anxiety and polymorphic variants of genes associated with eating disorders (rs17782313 MC4R, rs1800497 DRD2, rs9939609 FTO) in women aged 45-64 in Novosibirsk.

Material and methods. A random representative sample of women aged 45-64 years (n=1074, mean age, 54,27±0,2 years) was examined in 2003-2005 at the Research Institute of Internal and Preventive Medicine, a branch of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, within the Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial Factors In Eastern Europe (HAPIEE) project. Personal anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger self-assessment questionnaire included in the protocol of the Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease — Optional Psychosocial Study (MONICA-MOPSY), tested at screenings of the World Health Organization (WHO) MONICA program in 1983-1995. The sample for the HAPIEE program was formed at the program data processing center in Prague for each of the collaborating centers in such a way that each respondent was random. From the sample, every second woman (n=537) was selected for genotyping of the FTO rs9939609 variant (n=384); every third woman (n=358) — for genotyping the MC4R rs17782313 (n=279) and DRD2 rs1800497 variants (n=327). Genotyping was performed in the laboratory of molecular genetic studies by the polymerase chain reaction with the analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Results. Among women aged 45-64, anxiety was detected in 58,3%, and in 15,9% of women the anxiety level was high. The homozygous genotype C/C rs17782313 of the MC4R gene was more common among women with high anxiety levels (17,5%) than among women with low and moderate anxiety levels (1,8 and 0,8%, respectively; p=0,001). There were no significant differences in the detection rate of the rs1800497 genotypes of the DRD2 gene among women with different levels of anxiety (p>0,05). The frequency of the A/A rs9939609 genotype of the FTO gene was highest among women with high anxiety levels — 29,5%, compared to participants with low and moderate anxiety levels (15 and 15,3%, respectively; p=0,048). The probability of anxiety among carriers of the C/C+C/T genotypes of the MC4R gene was 1,29 times higher than among carriers of the T/T genotype (p=0,001). Among carriers of the A/A rs9939609 genotype of the FTO gene, the anxiety probability was 2,34 times higher than among carriers of the A/T+T/T genotypes (p=0,008).

Conclusion. The association between anxiety and genes of eating disorders dictates the need for diagnosis and subsequent treatment of anxiety and its associated consequences.

Abstract This study quantified the production of the pro-resolving agent Resolvin E1 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 20 systemically healthy volunteers with and without periodontitis after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). Ten periodontitis patients and 10 healthy volunteers (30-50 years old), matched by age and sex, were recruited. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and stimulated in culture plates for 24 hours with Pg LPS. Resolvin E1 levels were measured in the supernatants by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Significantly higher production of Resolvin E1 was observed in both groups when stimulated with LPS compared to baseline levels (p<0.001). A significant increase in Resolvin E1 was observed in the presence of Lipopolysaccharide in the patients with periodontitis compared to the healthy group (p=0.0019). Resolvin E1 levels may reflect a measure of resolution of inflammation that warrants further clinical investigation.

Published: October 2024

Resumo Este estudo in vitro teve como objetivo investigar o efeito da nitretação por implantação iônica de plasma nas propriedades de superfície do titânio e na resposta celular inicial. Discos de titânio grau 4 (12,7 × 2 mm) foram jateados com partículas de óxido de alumínio para criar superfícies moderadamente rugosas. Os discos experimentais (TiN) foram nitrados usando a técnica de implantação iônica de plasma em uma câmara de vácuo. A caracterização da superfície foi realizada usando microscopia confocal a laser, microscopia de força atômica (AFM) e espectroscopia de fotoelétrons de raios X (XPS). A molhabilidade da superfície foi avaliada medindo o ângulo de contato de uma gota séssil usando um goniômetro. Células osteoblásticas humanas foram semeadas nos discos para avaliar a adesão e proliferação celular nos dias 1, 3, 5 e 7 de cultura, usando um ensaio de composto de tetrazólio. A atividade da fosfatase alcalina (ALP) foi medida no dia 7 para avaliar a diferenciação celular. A morfologia celular foi examinada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM) e microscopia confocal a laser. O grupo TiN exibiu micro-rugosidade similar ao grupo controle; no entanto, apresentou maior densidade de nanostruturas, aumento do conteúdo de nitrogênio e ligeira melhoria na molhabilidade. A proliferação celular e a atividade da ALP foram similares entre os grupos após sete dias de cultura. Em conclusão, a nitretação por implantação iônica de plasma melhora as nanocaracterísticas da superfície e a molhabilidade sem comprometer a biocompatibilidade do titânio, tornando-se uma técnica promissora de modificação de superfície para implantes dentários e ortopédicos.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the impact of atorvastatin, administered both locally and systemically, on critical defects in the calvaria of rats. Thirty-six adult rats were randomly assigned to three groups, with all bone defects covered by a collagen membrane. The groups received different treatments: distilled water (GAD), where membranes were soaked in distilled water; systemic application of atorvastatin (GAS) at a dosage of 3.6mg/kg/day through gavage; and local application of atorvastatin (GAL). After 14 and 28 days, all animals were euthanized, and various assessments were conducted, including histometric analysis, measurement of linear residual defect, evaluation of newly formed bone area, determination of membrane and soft tissue area, cell count, and immunohistochemical analysis. Group GAS exhibited a significant reduction in residual defect compared to the other groups (p<0.05) and a lower number of osteocytes (p<0.05) in comparison with other groups. On day 28, both GAL and GAS groups showed a higher number of inflammatory cells compared to GAD (p<0.05). Immunolabeling of CD31 was similar for both groups, but in the case of osteocalcin, there was a significant increase in labeling for groups GAS and GAL between days 14 and 28 postoperative (p<0.05). In conclusion, systemic atorvastatin demonstrated enhanced osteogenesis in critical calvaria defects in rats, suggesting its efficacy in promoting bone regeneration without exerting a notable anti-inflammatory effect.

Published: October 2024

Abstract The present review summarizes the findings from human histological studies conducted over the past 20 years at the University of Guarulhos, Brazil, examining the impact of various implant surface topographies and smoking on peri-implant bone response. Seven different implant surfaces were evaluated in 90 partially or completely edentulous individuals using a total of 123 micro-implants. Histometric parameters, including bone-implant contact (BIC%), bone area within the threads (BA%), and bone density (BD), were assessed after an 8-week healing period. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were also performed. Results showed that treated surfaces, regardless of the treatment type, consistently demonstrated better histometric outcomes compared to machined surfaces. Anodized surfaces and those subjected to airborne particle abrasion, followed by acid etching, exhibited higher BIC% values than machined surfaces in smoker patients. Smoking reduced BIC% around anodized implants. The presence of inflammatory cells was observed adjacent to the peri-implant soft tissue on some treated surfaces. In conclusion, implant surface topography significantly influences early bone response under unloaded conditions, with treated surfaces promoting better human bone tissue response than machined surfaces. However, smoking negatively impacts peri-implant bone healing, emphasizing the importance of smoking cessation for optimal osseointegration.

Objective: to describe the norms and perceptions of a sample of Spanish parents and guardians on the use of mobile devices (smartphone and/or tablet) by their children and their association with such use. Method: a quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional, online, exploratory study was conducted with a non-probability sample of parents or guardians of children using smartphones or tablets. The virtual questionnaire consisted of 44 questions and was available at https://www.kenkolab.org/participa/ . Results: the total number of participants (parents or guardians) was 183 people. It was observed that 26.2% of parents admitted that their children had free and unrestricted access to smartphones or tablets. Associations were identified between time spent using mobile devices and parental attitudes, such as permission without time limitation and use as a reward or punishment. Approximately half of the respondents believe that their children use the mobile device longer than recommended. Conclusion: most parents exercise some control over their children’s use of devices. Acting on parental norms and perceptions is vital to success in addressing children’s time spent on mobile devices.

Objective: to map pelvic floor muscle training protocols available in the literature for the management of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. Method: this is a scoping review conducted in six databases. Information retrieval was performed using a specific instrument, including: title, authorship, year of publication, journal, objective, study design and description of the protocols’ content. Results: a total of 24 studies were included, which resulted in different protocols. The most frequent recommendations were the following: three sessions per day; with a frequency of six to 15 contractions per session; performing the exercises in the lying, sitting, and standing positions. The most cited guidelines in the protocols were anal sphincter and bulbocavernosus muscle contractions. All protocols followed the principle of regular pelvic floor muscle contraction, but there was no consensus regarding the start of the protocol, treatment duration, contraction/relaxation time, and intensity of the contraction force. Conclusion: different orientations were found in the pelvic floor muscle training protocols post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, with emphasis on contraction time, relaxation time, number of contractions per session, training position, and protocol duration time. Different concepts were adopted to define urinary continence in the protocols. It is necessary to develop consensus guidelines that clearly define the parameters of training protocols.

Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de disponibilidad de residentes y de preceptores para prácticas interprofesionales. Método: estudio de métodos mixtos del tipo triangulación concomitante, realizado con residentes y preceptores de una Residencia Multiprofesional en Salud hospitalaria. Resultados: más del 90% (n=186) de los participantes tienen alta disponibilidad para prácticas interprofesionales. Sin embargo, las prácticas instituidas durante el pregrado y el perfil profesional de los involucrados, especialmente en lo que respecta a la falta de comunicación entre profesiones y la apertura al diálogo, fueron señalados como dificultades para implementar la interprofesionalidad en el escenario investigado, lo que podría influir negativamente en la disponibilidad de residentes y preceptores. Conclusión: si bien residentes y preceptores tienen alta disponibilidad para el desarrollo de la interprofesionalidad, ciertos factores dificultan su implementación, obstaculizando el trabajo colaborativo.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the father’s lived experience of childbirth as a significant life situation within the well-being concept framework. To understand the father’s lived experience of childbirth within the framework of the concept of well-being as a significant life situation. Method: Secondary data analysis from a qualitative study about the experience of twelve Chilean fathers who were prepared to actively participate at childbirth from a mixed public-private health system institution between 2016-2017, was carried out. Qualitative data were extracted from transcripts of open interviews with eight of the twelve fathers after childbirth. Data were analyzed using an interpretive-phenomenological approach. Results: Four central themes emerged from data, which were framed and understand within the psychological well-being concept: I. Feeling as a part of the healthcare team; II. Perceiving himself capable of containing and supporting his partner and being a guardian of the process; III. Being committed to being a father from the first moment of contact with the child; IV. Being wrapped in a whirlwind of emotions. Conclusion: Father’s lived experience at childbirth can be understood considering the psychological well-being concept. Prepared fathers could live the childbirth experience within a state of well-being, focusing on their achievements, commitments, and being satisfied with their roles as father and partner.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a experiência de mulheres com 35 anos ou mais acerca da transição para a maternidade não planejada. Método: Estudo qualitativo descritivo, com entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis mulheres nessa faixa etária, selecionadas por conveniência, realizado em um ambulatório de pré-natal de alto risco entre julho de 2022 e julho de 2023. A análise foi baseada na Teoria das Transições. Resultados: Identificaram-se três categorias principais: Propriedades da transição (atributos da maternidade tardia); Condições da transição (fatores pessoais, sociais e comunitários como facilitadores ou inibidores); e Padrões de resposta (estratégias de enfrentamento e adaptação). Os resultados destacam a complexidade emocional e psicossocial, incluindo impacto do estigma social, desafios de saúde e a dualidade da idade avançada, que traz desafios e maturidade. Conclusão: Enfatiza-se a necessidade de políticas públicas e suporte especializado para promover saúde mental, bem-estar e integração social, visando uma transição mais saudável e empoderada para a maternidade.

Abstract The study examined the efficacy of freeze-dried papain enzyme obtained from three Vasconcellea species (V. pubescens, V. chachapoyensis, V. heilbornii) as a natural coagulant in cheese making. Notably, the enzyme V. pubescens demonstrated the most promising results when concentrations of 2 g/L, 4 g/L, and 6 g/L were used to produce fresh cheese, while other enzyme species exhibited lower efficacy. The optimal yield of fresh cheese with minimal residual enzyme was achieved when a 2 g/L dose of papain enzyme was employed at a coagulation temperature of 30 °C, resulting in physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics comparable to those produced with commercial Hansen’s rennet. Nevertheless, an increase in the coagulation temperature (42 °C) and a higher dose of papain enzyme (4 g/L) resulted in a reduction in the yield of fresh cheese and; consequently, the residual enzyme increased. Further studies are required to determine the purity of freeze-dried papain and the most effective dosage to increase profitability for producers and consumers. Such findings could facilitate the ecological application of this alternative in producing of fresh cheese.
Um país refém do conceito de crime de corrupção e de sua prova
Authors: Guerra Filho Arthur
Published: October 2024

Resumo Nos últimos anos, questões sobre a prática de crime de corrupção têm balizado a competição política na democracia constitucional brasileira, especialmente após a Operação Lava Jato. Este artigo examina as decisões judiciais nas quais Lula e Vaccari (ex-tesoureiro do Partido dos Trabalhadores [PT]) haviam sido condenados, para entender o conceito de crime de corrupção passiva aplicado, bem como a qualidade e a quantidade de provas consideradas suficientes pelos magistrados. Este artigo argumenta que foi adotado um conceito baseado em uma versão ampla do paradigma de pacto quid pro quo, com a flexibilização simultânea de dois requisitos: a especificidade do ato de ofício (por meio do uso do termo “corrupção sistêmica”) e a explicitude do pacto (e sua prova). O artigo demonstra que esse conceito contrasta com a experiência estadunidense, onde se tem optado por um conceito mais restrito. O artigo analisa os argumentos favoráveis e contrários ao alargamento do conceito e observa que ambos têm como base uma tensão central: de um lado, a impunidade; de outro lado, a criminalização de atividades político-partidárias consideradas legítimas. O artigo conclui que é necessário esclarecer a linha divisória entre a influência política tolerável e a configuração do crime de corrupção.

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze teachers’ self-perception of vocal fatigue and its relationship with the amount of the speech and loudness, vocal disorders, mask usage, and working conditions. Methods A multicenter, exploratory, observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study of the web survey type during the period of emergency remote teaching. Convenience sampling was used, comprising 263 public school teachers from the cities of Belo Horizonte, Campinas, São Paulo and Salvador, working inEducation. The Google form was sent with sociodemographic, work and health questions, use of a face mask, in addition to self-assessment protocols and self-assessment Voice Disorder Screening Index (VDSI), Degree of Speech Quantity and Vocal Intensity (DSQVI), and Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI). Results Most of the teachers showed a suspected vocal disorder (55.9%) and perceived vocal fatigue (83.7%), with good voice recovery after rest (74.5%). There was a statistical association between self-perceived vocal fatigue and suspected voice disorder (OR: 25.64 / CI: 95% 7.60-86.45) and working in high school (OR: 0.35 / CI: 95%: 0.16-0.76). Conclusion Teachers reported a high prevalence of vocal fatigue, with satisfactory voice recovery while conducting online classes during the pandemic. The presence of vocal disorder increased the likelihood of self-perceived vocal fatigue symptoms, and working in high school reduced this likelihood.

Resumo O desenvolvimento de competência em informação é base da aprendizagem ao longo da vida e um direito humano fundamental. Considerando-se a relevância social da competência em informação para a emancipação social, o seu desenvolvimento é essencial para concretizar inovações sociais, como o alcance dos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável. O presente artigo se trata de pesquisa exploratória descritiva com abordagem qualitativa e consistiu em estudo de caso múltiplo realizado em instituições do sistema de justiça, com o objetivo de propor uma matriz generalizável de competência em informação como fator de inovação social no sistema de justiça, a partir da percepção de atores do sistema de justiça a respeito dos processos pelos quais a competência em informação se alinha à inovação social. A coleta de dados se deu por pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com magistrados, membros do Ministério Público, professores universitários (centros de atendimento jurídico gratuito) e servidores do Poder Judiciário e do Ministério Público. A análise de dados foi feita por análise de conteúdo temática, análise do discurso do sujeito coletivo e pela Teoria da Atividade. A partir dos dados que emergiram das entrevistas, a matriz proposta foi descrita e explicada. Espera-se que esta matriz possa subsidiar futuras pesquisas e ações pertinentes à atuação das instituições pertencentes ao sistema de justiça, mais notadamente na implementação dos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável da Agenda 2030.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate whether the use of on-farm inoculants based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) interferes with the agronomic performance of wheat cultivars. The following treatments were applied to cultivars TBIO Calibre and TBIO Sossego: eight on-farm inoculants, i.e., Acaulospora morrowiae, Cetraspora pellucida, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Glomus intraradices, Rhizophagus clarus, Scutellospora heterogama, and two mycorrhizal communities from native forest (NF) obtained in the Bom Princípio (BP) and in the Flores da Cunha (FC) Brazilian municipalities; and no inoculant (control). A randomized complete block experimental design was used. Mycorrhizal colonization, root morphology, and thousand grain weight were evaluated. The association between 'TBIO Sossego' and S. heterogama provided the greatest root volume, while that between 'TBIO Calibre' and C. etunicatum and between 'TBIO Sossego' and the BP NF community resulted in the best thousand-grain weight. The use of AMF, especially C. etunicatum and S. heterogama, enhances the development of the root system of wheat. 'TBIO Calibre' showed the greatest total length and quantity of very fine roots, while 'TBIO Sossego' developed a root system with the greatest surface area and quantity of thick roots. The use of on-farm inoculants affects the agronomic performance of wheat cultivars.
