THE EFFECT OF TTHE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE TOXICITY OF LAMBDA-CYHALOTHRIN IN Dreissena polymorpha USING SOME BIOCHEMICAL BIOMARKERS
Authors: Cikcikoglu Yildirim Nuran , Serdar Osman , Ketenalp Zozan
Published: March 2024

Due to increasing climate change, it has become important to determine whether the dose-response relationship of organisms to some substances is affected by temperature. For this reason, in this study, it was aimed to reveal the effect of the temperature variable on the toxic response using the Dreissena polymorpha model organism and some of its biomarkers. For this purpose, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in Dreissena polymorpha exposed to subletal concentrations of λ-cyhalothrin at different temperatures were measured using commercial ELISA kits.According to the results obtained, there was a statistically significant increase in MDA levels in the groups exposed to λ-cyhalothrin, while a decrease in GSH levels was found. AChE levels were inhibited especially in the groups exposed high concentrartion of λcyhalothrin. It was also found that the inhibition levels increased depending on the application times. While SOD enzyme activity decreased, CAT enzyme activity increased depending on the exposure concentration. It has been observed that different temperature have different effects on the toxicity of λ-cyhalothrin. It was observed that λ-cyhalothrin caused oxidative stress and neurotoxicity, and the toxicity of λ-cyhalothrin changed depending on the temperature.
Vrednotenje vpliva temperature na toksičnost Lambda-cihalotrina v modelnem organizmu Dreissena polymorpha z uporabo biokemijskih označevalcev
Izvleček: Zaradi naraščajočih sprememb podnebja je pomembno ugotavljati, ali temperatura vpliva na razmerje med odmerkom in odzivom organizmov na nekatere snovi. Zato je bil namen te študije prikazati vpliv spremembe tempera­ture na toksični odziv modelnega organizma Dreissena polymorpha in nekaterih njegovih bioloških oiznačevalcev. V ta namen smo s komercialnimi testi ELISA merili koncentracijo acetilholinesteraze (AchE), katalaze (CAT), superoksid dismutaze (SOD), glutationa (GSH) in malondialdehida (MDA) v organizmu Dreissena polymorpha, izpostavljenim suble­talnim odmerkom λ-cihalotrina pri različnih temperaturah.             V skupinah, izpostavljeni λ-cihalotrinu, se je statistično značilno povečala vsebnost MDA in zmanjšala vsebnost GSH. Ravni AChE so bile znižane zlasti v skupinah, ki so bile izpostavljene visoki koncentraciji λ-cihalotrina. Ugotovili smo tudi, da je bila rast inhibicije odvisna od časa aplikacije. Medtem ko se je aktivnost encima SOD zmanjšala, se je aktivnost encima CAT povečala glede na koncentracijo izpostavljenosti. Ugotovili smo, da različna temperatura različno vpliva na toksičnost λ-cihalotrina. λ-cihalotrin povzroča oksidativni stres in nevrotoksičnost, toksičnost λ-cihalotrina pa se spr­eminja glede na temperaturo.

Objective: Describe the characteristics of gouty arthropathy at the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville. Patients and Methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study with a retrospective recruitment method, conducted from March 1, 2002 to March 1 , 2012 , i.e. Ten (10) years. It was based on the analysis of the medical files of patients seen in hospitalization in the Rheumatology department of the Brazzaville University Hospital. On the basis of anamnestic, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary data, we searched for elements in favor of gout. The diagnosis of gout was made on the basis of the ACR1977 criteria. Results: There were 100 cases of gout with a male predominance in 87 cases (87%) and a sex ratio of 6.69. The average age was 59.51 years, with extremes of 37 and 94 years. 56% of our patients were overweight, 33% obese and 11% had a normal BMI. The average duration of progression of gout before consultation was 4.9 years with extremes of 1 and 31 years. The big toe was the most common site of arthritis (62%). Polyarthritis was found in 40% of cases, oligoarthritis 34 % and monoarthritis in 26% of cases. Tophus were found in 17 patients (17%), of whom 5% had ulcerated tophi. Swelling of soft tissues was the most common radiographic anomaly found in 21 cases (21%), followed by narrowing of the joint space 14 cases (14%), erosions and geodes 11 cases (11%). Conclusion: gouty arthropathy retains its place in the Rheumatology department of Brazzaville University Hospital with a slight increase in frequency.

Published: March 2024

In quest to ameliorate the issues of recurring incidences of multidrug-resistant organisms and over-exploration of plants, researchers have delved into researches involving endosymbiotic microorganisms, known as endophytes. These are microorganisms inhabiting the internal part of plants, which have been verified to possess great potentials of bioengineering novel products for therapeutic purposes. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify endophytic fungal species present in Mitracarpus scaber, molecularly characterize the pure isolates, and test for phytochemical compounds present. Freshly collected non-diseased leaves of M. scaber were subjected to a four-step surface sterilization. Thereafter, they were sliced into fragments of 1 cm-length, exposing the leaf blades and the midribs, and were aseptically inoculated on sterilized malt extract agar, containing chloramphenicol (500 mg/l), in Petri dishes. Hyphal tips of actively growing fungi from the plant material were harvested and further sub-cultured for purification and isolation. Segments were aseptically cut from the actively growing pure isolates, on malt extract agar and inoculated onto the fermentation medium (sterilized local rice), in 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, which were properly sealed with sterile cotton and kept at static condition at 25 oC for 21 days. Ethyl acetate was used to extract the metabolites from the end products of the fermentation processes. Four isolates obtained from the endophytic fungi (EDF), present in the leaf of M. scaber, were subjected to molecular identification. The DNA extraction was done using Zr fungal/bacterial DNA miniprep. The extracted DNA was amplified through PCR, and sequenced. The resultant sequences were compared with GenBank database, using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool. The result of phytochemical screening of the extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins and phenols, in large amounts; terpenoids, alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, in moderate amounts; steroids, hydrogen cyanide and saponins in very low quantities, while that of molecular characterization identified four organisms: Penicillium sclerotiorum, Clasporium cladosporiodies, Cryptococcus nemorosus, and Phyllosticta capitalensis.

Published: March 2024

This experiment was designed to determine the effect of onion extract on histological response and carcass characteristics of finisher broilers. Sixty day old chicks of Cobb 500 strain were used for this study which lasted for four weeks. The day old chicks were purchased from Ibadan, Nigeria. The chicks on arrival were brooded for four weeks using normal starter feed (New hope brand). At the expiration of four weeks brooding period the broilers were randomly assigned to three treatment groups with three replicates in a completely randomized design (CRD). The onion bulbs were purchased from Ogige market in Nsukka town, Enugu State, Nigeria. The aqueous onion extract were prepared by slicing, soaking and extracting the active ingredients from the onions. The extract was diluted at different concentrations such as; 0.5g/ml, 1.0g/ml and 1.5g/ml of clean water for T2, T3 and T4 respectively. T1 had no onion extract and as such served as control. The onion extracts were administered to the birds every 48 hours using dropper. Water and feed were given ad libitum to the birds. The result obtained showed normal hepatocytes with acinar-like arrangement and central vein with no abnormal changes in all the organs examined. In conclusion, it has been revealed that the dietary onion extract enhanced the histological features and carcass characteristics of finisher broilers without any detrimental effects on the organs. We therefore, recommend the use of T3(1.0g/ml) which had highest dressed carcass yield to farmers for optimum gain.
Fahr's syndrome with dermatological manifestation
Authors: Fatimazahrae Benhayoun  , Fouzia Hali  , Soumiya Chiheb
Published: March 2024

Fahr's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of calcifications in the basal ganglia, typically secondary to a disorder of phosphocalcic metabolism, primarily hypoparathyroidism. It is generally challenging to clinically suspect as it can remain asymptomatic or manifest with diverse symptoms not corresponding to any specific clinical pattern. The dermatological expression of this syndrome is exceptional and is linked to hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia. In a hypocalcemic environment, keratinocytes exhibit significant proliferative activity, which may explain the pustular rash in our patients. Diagnosis relies on the presence of bilateral and symmetrical calcifications in the basal ganglia. Treatment involves calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Therefore, it is important to consider this syndrome in the presence of any aseptic pustulosis associated with disorders of phosphocalcic metabolism, particularly in cases with associated neuropsychiatric pathologies. We retrospectively report observations from six patients with Fahr's syndrome revealed through dermatological manifestations over a five-year period.

Published: March 2024

Este artigo traz uma proposta de mediação de leitura literária com contos de suspense de Lygia Fagundes Telles. Na primeira fase, a mediação é organizada com base na perspectiva da “leitura subjetiva”, de Annie Rouxel (2013), que propõe a valorização da espontaneidade do leitor; na segunda, ressaltamos as pistas do texto para a construção de uma interpretação, levando conta observações de Umberto Eco (2011); já na fase final da roda de leitura, passamos a explorar questões identitárias, levando em conta o “modelo cultural de leitura”, de Carlos Gomes (2012). Além dessas estratégias, seguimos os procedimentos sugeridos por Rildo Cosson acerca das leituras compartilhadas (2020). O processo de mediação ampliou o horizonte de expectativa dos participantes, promovendo um debate sobre as diferentes formas de opressão feminina ainda presentes em nossa sociedade.

Published: March 2024

Quando chegamos ao entendimento da importância do fomento à cultura científica na sociedade como um movimento de evolução e estímulo à quebra de barreiras socioculturais e educacionais, nos questionamos em relação aos veículos que podem ser adotados, no objetivo de aproximar as produções científicas de todas as classes sociais de uma maneira mais igualitária, democrática e popular, o que nos remete às redes sociais digitais, importantes meios de comunicação no cenário tecnológico que vivemos atualmente. Neste sentido, podemos conjecturar que adotar essas redes como veículos para divulgação científica pode ser uma estratégia relevante considerando seus múltiplos recursos de atração do usuário e acessibilidade. Porém, um dos desafios diz respeito a ideia de como mensurar índices de popularização da ciência a partir do uso das redes sociais digitais em valores que permitam estimar um coeficiente adquirido de cultura científica. Posto o referido problema, apresentamos um conjunto de modelos conceituais e matemático-computacionais que conjuntamente possibilitaram a comprovação do que se pensava a respeito do potencial das redes sociais digitais como meios eficientes de divulgação e democratização científica, ratificando a premissa de que todos os indivíduos, independente da sua formação escolar, podem evoluir cientificamente quando são adotados os mecanismos adequados para o seu estímulo cognitivo.

Published: March 2024

O encontro com a profissão docente acontece ao longo da jornada enquanto estudante. Os caminhos seguintes são peculiares às vivências de cada docente, pois se entrelaçam com as escolhas e os acontecimentos das histórias de vida. O objetivo deste trabalho foi refletir sobre a trajetória de vida de uma estudante e, posteriormente de uma professora, com o cenário descrito na literatura sobre as características do ensino de Química e da formação docente. Este estudo de cunho qualitativo, assentado nas narrativas de história de vida, foi fruto de um recorte de uma dissertação de mestrado. Para tanto, os acontecimentos foram descritos por fases da vida da biografada, desde as experiências estudantis, passando pela formação durante a graduação, a pós-graduação e sua atuação docente. Ao longo do texto, observou-se similaridades das situações descritas com circunstâncias abordadas por autores que tratam da formação de professores de Química. Ademais, os elementos analisados demonstram uma resistência às mudanças no cenário da formação de professores no decorrer dos anos, fator que influencia numa manutenção do círculo vicioso de deficiências na formação docente e consequentemente na aprendizagem dos estudantes. Conclui-se que o compartilhamento de experiências por meio dos estudos autobiográficos contribui para reflexões acerca do cenário de formação de professores de Química, bem como para facilitar uma identificação de outros professores, os quais porventura tenham vivenciado algo semelhante.

Authors: da Costa Nancy , Brito Gabriel , Chagas Cyro , Almeida Fernanda
Published: March 2024

Recently, there has been a worldwide problem of increased bee mortality (Colony Collapse Disorder) and the intensive use of pesticides is suspected as one of the causes. Honey samples are one of many indicators to assess bee exposure to pesticides. In this work, a method for the simultaneous analysis of the pesticide Fipronil and its degradation products in honey samples by gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) is presented and validated. The extraction procedure was investigated using C18-SPE with different solvents and methanol showed the best performance. The analytical quantification was performed by internal standard matrix-matched calibration, which resulted in analytical curves presenting correlation coefficients higher than 0.99. The proposed method was validated with good results, such as recoveries around 70 - 99%, limits of detection and quantification bellow 0.014 and 0.072 μg mL-1, respectively, and relative standard deviations below 7%. The method is simple, effective and was successfully applied to 28 commercial honey samples, regular and organic, from different floral sources. The results showed the presence of fipronil desulfinyl, the main degradation product of fipronil, in some samples, even among the organic ones.

Dynamiken des Twitter-Diskurses über den G20-Gipfel in Hamburg 2017: Eine Analyse der Strukturen und Amplifikationen ideologisch-geprägter Kommunikationsnetzwerke in Zeiten von Protest und Gewalt
Authors: Meyer Hendrik
Published: March 2024

Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, inwiefern der Twitter-Diskurs über die G20-Proteste in Hamburg 2017 Attribute einer „Affective Polarization“ (Barberá 2020) aufweist und ob diese in Onlinekommunikation determinierten Attribute mit ›Offline-Ereignissen‹ während des Gipfelwochenendes in Verbindung stehen. Hierfür wurden zwischen dem 06. und 09. Juli 2017 insgesamt 654.606 Tweets, Retweets und Kommentare über die Twitter API gestreamt und in einem triangulierten Forschungsansatz untersucht. Automatisierte Methoden der Inhalts- und Netzwerkanalyse wurden mit der qualitativen Kodierung von User:innenprofilen und Hashtags kombiniert. Die so generierten Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die G20-Twittersphere tatsächlich als affektiv polarisiert beschrieben werden kann. Nachweislich haben besonders aktive und vernetzte User:innen ideologisch und politisch kongruente Inhalte in Clustern von Gleichgesinnten geteilt. Die Ausprägungen dieser gruppenspezifischen Attribute des Online-Diskurses dynamisierten sich über Zeit und konnten zum Teil in Verbindung mit ›Offline-Eskalationen‹ in Hamburg selbst gebracht werden. Die in dieser Arbeit generierten Belege für Prozesse Affektiver Polarisierung lassen allerdings nicht auf die Bildung isolierter Kommunikationssphären in Form von Echokammern oder Filter Bubbles schließen. Vielmehr konnte ein gruppenübergreifendes, wechselseitiges Zusammenspiel von Ingroup-Affirmation und kritisierender Outgroup-Adressierung – katalysiert durch die gewaltvollen Eskalationen während der Proteste – als das strukturgebende Charakteristikum der untersuchten Twittersphere ausgemacht werden. Gruppen-spezifische und gegenläufige (Selbst-)Konzeptionen von Polizei und Demonstrierenden konnten dabei als konkurrierende und den Onlinediskurs prägende Narrative identifiziert werden. Die in dieser Analyse offengelegten, Netzwerk-bedingten „Amplifications“ (Gallagher 2020) bestimmter Profile, Inhalte und ideologischer Rahmungen wurden als Figurative Echos (neu-)konzeptualisiert und eingeordnet. Der Twitteraccount der Polizei Hamburg tritt hierbei als durch einen Großteil der vernetzten Individuen ermächtigte, die Ereignisse rahmende Instanz in einem durch Figurative Echos geprägten Onlinediskurs auf.
Little scientists & social apprentices: Active word learning in dynamic social contexts using a transparent dyadic interaction platform
Authors: Bothe Ricarda , Isbaner Sebastian , Chen Xiaoyun , Kagan Igor , Gail Alexander , Mani Nivedita
Published: March 2024

Previous tablet studies indicate that children learn object labels better through active initiation rather than passive observation. However, as children typically learn object labels through interactions with familiar partners, this study examines whether the active learning advantage persists in dynamic face-to-face interactions and is influenced by the social partner's identity (mother or friend). Using the Dyadic Interaction Platform for children (DIPc), we observed 4- to 5-year-old children and their social partners (Nfriend = 47, Nmum = 44) during a word learning task. Participants could actively select objects for labelling and passively observe their partner's choices. Results showed that children initially recognized actively sampled object names better, but later, they showed stronger recognition for passively observed names. The initial active benefit primarily occurred during interactions among children, while the later passive benefit was predominantly rooted in interactions with children and their mothers. Together, these findings identify the temporal and social dynamics of an active learning benefit within children's social interaction.

Many projects and campaigns against fake news try to tell people what is either right or wrong. This mainly leads to low acceptance rates by people. Therefore, we here claim that a proper way of working against fake news is to encourage people to think for themselves before spreading any type of news. People need to pause for a moment and ask themselves whether they believe this information to be true or not. This can be realized via nudging and boosting, concepts deeply rooted in Cognitive Psychology. We hope that this discussion paper will be adopted as an amendment for other projects and campaigns against fake news known from the literature in order to increase their value and impact.
Decoupling Language Processing from Time
Authors: McMurray Bob , Muegge John Baltazar , Kim Hyoju
Published: March 2024

Speech understanding requires listeners to map temporally unfolding speech to lexical items. For decades there has been consensus around the principles governing this process: lexical items are activated immediately as the input arrives, acoustic information flows to word recognition in a continuous cascade, perceptual and lexical representations rapidly decay to make room for new information, and lexical entries are temporally ordered. In this view speech processing is tightly coupled to the input (following “left-to-right” processing). However, recent work challenges this view: listeners often revise earlier decisions, they maintain low-level information for some time; lexical access may be delayed in some circumstances; and lexical representations are not fully ordered. These findings argue for a deep revision of models of language processing.

Social Overhead Capital and Output Nexus in Nepal: A Toda-Yamamoto Causality Analysis
Authors: Dangal Dil Nath , Gajurel Ram Prasad , Pokhrel Aditya
Published: March 2024

Social overhead capital (SOC) is complementary to increasing productivity, particularly when the economy is also experiencing technological progress, thus spurring economies of scale and spillover effects. In its absence, the objective of developing nations to increase national output may be difficult to achieve. Such logjams are also found in Nepal. The objective of the study is to explore and evaluate the causal relationship between SOC and national output using VAR (k + dmax) based on the Toda-Yamamoto Granger no-causality test. The study uses the time series data of 36 years from 1986 to 2021. Nominal GDP is the dependent variable used to represent national output. Similarly, energy, road, telephone, vehicle, irrigation, gross fixed capital formation, health, and student enrollment in higher education are the independent variables used to represent SOC. The study found that roads, telephones, vehicles, and irrigation cause the NGDP, whereas overall SOC variables also caused the NGDP at a one percent significance level. It is also found that NGDP causes the energy, telephone, and enrollment of students in higher education. The study concluded that there is a significant causal nexus between SOC and NGDP directly or indirectly. The study underscores the vital need for the government of Nepal and policymakers to take measures to increase the national output and productivity. This means significantly strengthening key sectors like energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and higher education enrollment and promoting fixed capital formation.
Assessing the Relationship Between Income Inequality and Economic Growth in South Asia

Published: March 2024

The trade-off between inequality and growth and what should be done about it are some of the most debated issues in economics. The study aims to assess the relationship between income inequality and economic growth in South Asia. With different kinds of literature assessing different relationships between these two variables, the effects of inequality on growth are still very ambiguous for researchers. The paucity of time series data on the ‘Gini Ratio’ for South Asia has been one of the primary reasons for a small or no contribution to the effects of inequality in growth in the region. Here, the study used the data on the income share ratio of the top 10 percentile and bottom 50 percentile from 1980 to 2015 as a proxy for inequality and see its relationship with growth using the ‘Generalized Method of Moments’ estimation technique. The study found that inequality has a significant positive relationship with growth, which provides the basis for a trade-off between equity and efficiency. This gives rise to important policy implications for policymakers dealing with inequality.

Background: Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) are prevalent within the LGBTQ community, often exacerbated by challenges in accessing care and the perceived stigma and discrimination tied to disclosing one's identity. Digital health interventions that offer psychosocial self-help present a promising platform to reach individuals at risk of STB, especially those who may not engage with conventional health services. This review aimed to assess the role of digital-based intervention in reducing STBs among LGBTQ individuals.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search from three databases, PsycINFO, PubMed, and CINHAL, from 1st Jan 1990 to 31st December 2023. The review encompassed studies investigating the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of digital interventions on STBs, employing randomized control trials (RCTs), pseudo-RCTs, observational pre-posttest designs, and qualitative studies. Potential bias was evaluated using the McGill Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
Results: Five non-overlapping studies were included, reporting data from 777 participants. The studies featured diverse types of digital interventions, including videos, online writing, and mobile applications. The studies included three RCTs, and two qualitative studies. Across most of these studies, notable enhancements or reductions in the proportion of participants reporting STBs were observed post-intervention, alongside improvements in help-seeking intentions. The findings underscored that the applications used in the studies were engaging, acceptable, and deemed feasible in effectively addressing suicide prevention among the LGBTQ community.
Conclusion: Overall, digital interventions were found to be feasible and acceptable in suicide prevention among LGBTQ communities, demonstrating preliminary efficacy in increasing help-seeking behavior when experiencing suicidal thoughts and in reducing STBs. Therefore, advocating for widespread promotion and dissemination of digital health interventions is crucial, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with limited access to health services and heightened barriers to obtaining such services.  Further research using fully powered RCT is imperative to assess the efficacy of these interventions.
Assessing the School Management Decision Practices: Insights from the Policy Provisions
Authors: Acharya Bisna , Sigdel Surya
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the management decision-making practices of community school management in Nepal, focusing on the policy perspective. An analytical approach has been used to analyze the information. The authors conducted a comprehensive review of the school education policies that pertain to school management decision-making practices. The authors analyzed the policy requirements on community school management decisions and practices. According to the policy provisions, the school head teachers, school management committee (SMC) members, and teachers' representatives are actively engaged in management decision practices. This study reveals that the head teacher and school management committee hold the authority over important aspects of school management decision-making, such as teacher recruitment, school development planning, and teaching learning activities. The role of local government has crucial in the overall development of community schools in Nepal. Implementing effective school management practices can greatly enhance the development of the school and ensure the delivery of high-quality education. In this context, the authors emphasized the importance of harmonizing management practices to ensure effective decision-making and encourage active participation, ultimately leading to improved school administration.

The purpose of this research is to examine the level of satisfaction felt by business program faculty at Shanker Dev Campus (SDC). The research aims to evaluate several hypotheses about demographic parameters including gender, age, and work experience on faculty satisfaction levels. A total of 35 randomly selected faculty members were asked to fill out a standardized questionnaire. A low standard deviation of 0.55682 indicates consistency across respondents, and a mean satisfaction score of 3.9871 indicates that faculty members are typically satisfied with job. A Pearson correlation coefficient seems to indicate no statistical significance when examining the relationship between age, job satisfaction, and work experience. As far as gender disparities in work satisfaction depart, female respondents were somewhat more satisfied on average than male respondents. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics among SDC's business program faculty and can help shape initiatives that increase faculty satisfaction and program achievement.
