La responsabilidad del arrendador por defectos en el inmueble. La presencia de la tradición romanista en el «scots law»
Authors: Magalhães David
Published: May 2023

En lo que se refiere a la responsabilidad del arrendador por defectos en el inmueble arrendado, la coincidencia entre el § 536a BGB y el derecho escocés (sentencia Todd v. Clapperton) es el foco principal de esta investigación. Como en muchas otras cuestiones, en este tema el Derecho escocés sufrió una gran influencia del Derecho romano y de la tradición romanística desarrollada desde la Edad Media.

La regla de responsabilidad objetiva formulada por Todd v. Clapperton con respecto al propietario que no entrega el inmueble sin defectos ciertamente ha excedido lo que las «autoridades anteriores» habían escrito, como señala McAllister’s Scottish Law of Leases. Pero es fascinante como la teoría de la garantía implícita de buen estado construida por Donellus se reflejó en la decisión Buchanan contra Stark (1776) y ambas fueron usadas (la primera en Alemania, la segunda en Escocia) para cargar al arrendador con una regla de responsabilidad objetiva. Esto no debe sorprender. El derecho escocés formaba parte del universo del ius commune y una evolución similar de la interpretatio de D.19,2,19,1 es una de las muchas pruebas de ello. Por lo tanto, una cultura jurídica común es una explicación adecuada para la mencionada coincidencia.
La mentira del acusado en el proceso penal: ¿Derecho o conducta sancionable?
Authors: Asencio Gallego José María
Published: May 2023

El acusado, en tanto parte pasiva del proceso penal, es el titular del derecho de defensa reconocido en el artículo 24 de la Constitución España. Éste, a su vez, engloba otros derechos, entre los que destacan, por su importancia, el derecho al silencio y el derecho a no declarar contra sí mismo y a no confesarse culpable. Se trata, por tanto, de dos derechos diferentes, cuyo ejercicio por el acusado implica conductas distintas. Además, el primero de ellos, desde su consagración, ha generado un debate doctrinal y jurisprudencial que, con el paso de los años, continúa sin estar resuelto. La cuestión estriba en determinar si el acusado en el proceso penal tiene derecho a mentir o si, por el contrario, de su declaración mendaz pueden derivarse consecuenciasperjudiciales para él en el seno del proceso.

Authors: ÖZEN Nalan , TOPBAŞ Murat
Published: May 2023

Günümüzde internet, birçok alanda olduğu gibi sağlık alanında da bilgi edinebilmek için başvurulan ilk kaynak haline gelmiştir. Ancak internet ortamında herkes her istediğini yazıp yayımlayabilmekte, özellikle sosyal medyada çok kısıtlı bir kontrol dışında kişisel ve kurumsal yorumlar rahatlıkla yayılabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla internette, doğru bilgilerle birlikte genellikle yanlış veya doğrulanmamış aşırı bilgilerin hızlı bir şekilde yayılması durumu söz konusu olup bu durum “İnfodemi” olarak ifade edilmektedir. Böyle bir durum içerisinde, ulaşılan bilgilerin bilimsel ve çağdaş tıp uygulamaları açısından doğru olup olmadığının bilgiye ulaşan kişiler tarafından değerlendirilememesi önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Yanlış bilgi kirliliği içinde karışıklığa düşmeden sağlık sorunlarına yönelik bilinçli kararlar alabilmek, bireylerin hem doğru ve güvenilir bilgiye erişebilme hem de yanlış, kusurlu veya yanıltmayı amaçlayan bilgiyi güvenilir olandan ayırt edebilme yeteneğine bağlıdır. Bu derlemede, infodemi, misenformasyon, dezenformasyon, malenformasyon ve bunların sağlık üzerine etkileri hakkında bilgi vermek; bu durumla mücadele kapsamında geliştirilen “İnfodemi yönetimi” ve “İnfodemiyoloji” kavramlarını açıklamak; bireylerin ve toplumun, hangi bilgiye güvenileceği ve neden güvenileceği hakkında bilgi sahibi olabilmelerinin, bilginin ve kaynakların güvenilirliği hakkında yargıda bulunabilmelerinin, kısaca bilgiyi değerlendirme yetkinliklerinin geliştirilmesi noktasında sağlık okuryazarlığının ve özellikle dijital sağlık okuryazarlığının önemini vurgulamak; internet ortamında ve sosyal medyada sağlık ile ilgili bilgilere ulaşmada dikkat edilmesi gereken noktalara değinmek amaçlanmıştır.

Published: May 2023

Staphylococci are pathogens that cause serious infections in humans and animals. Nosocomial infections caused by staphylococci, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, are mostly transmitted through healthcare workers, patients, or contaminated materials and food. In recent years, studies have been carried out to develop alternative antimicrobial strategies due to the inadequacy of existing antibiotics in the prevention of systemic, skin and implant-related biofilm infections caused by these multi-antibiotic resistant strains. One of these new approaches is the development of products containing the bacteriophage endolysin, which is particularly effective against multi-antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, endolysin genes of bacteriophages (prophages) integrated into the chromosomes of Staphylococcus strains were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pET SUMO and pET-30b(+) vectors and produced recombinantly in E. coli. Anti-staphylococcal and antibiofilm activity of recombinant endolysins against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and S. haemolyticus strains isolated from clinical specimens, were demonstrated using turbidity reduction, biofilm removal in microwell plates by crystal violet method, and capacity of endolysins to kill biofilm-forming bacteria by confocal microscopy imaging by live-dead staining. The combination of endolysin was shown to reduce bacterial culture turbidity by at least 50% at 60 minutes and biofilms by approximately 70% at 12 hours. These results show that endolysins have the potential to be used in the prevention of staphylococcal infections.
Using Film in Orthodox Pastoral Practice
Authors: Golijanin Vedran
Published: May 2023

While most Christian denominations were condemning or openly demonizing movies when this form of artistic expression was still in its infancy, many of them today embrace film and use it for pastoral purposes. Orthodox Church is not an exception: while at the end of the 19th century Holy Synod of the Russian Church officially opposed movies because of their potential to lead the faithful astray, modern Orthodox filmmakers produce movies with the blessings of the highest Church authorities. Some of these movies, e.g. The Island (2006) and Man of God (2021), seem to function as cinematic homilies, more effective and more memorable than traditional for- mal homilies one can hear inside the church buildings. Nevertheless, religious movies are primar- ily artistic expressions and, as such, should be interpreted as any other work of art. Theological interpretation of movies, especially by pastoral theologians, should encourage their actual use as pastoral means in parish communities. Since the theology of film is still largely unknown or ignored in the Orthodox world, this paper contains a short introduction to the topic of “theology and film”, which is followed by a theological analysis of four films with specifically Orthodox themes: The Island, Angel’s Aisle, Healing Fear and Man of God.
Das Asklepieion in Pergamon zwischen Religion und Medizin
Authors: Kostrešević Milan
Published: May 2023

In der griechischen Mythologie und Religion war Asklepios der Gott der Medizin, der von Apollo und Koronis abstammte. Seinen Namen erhielt er aufgrund seiner Geburt, da seine Mutter sich einer Gebärmutteröffnung unterziehen musste, um geboren zu werden, was heute als Kaiserschnitt bekannt ist. Asklepios bedeutet eigentlich „öffnen“. Der griechischen Mythologie zufolge wurde er in seiner Ausbildung von dem Zentauren Chiron in der Kunst der Medizin unterrichtet. Durch sein Studium war er in der Kunst der Medizin so bewandert, dass er die Lebenden von den Toten auferwecken konnte. Das Symbol ist eine um einen Stock gewickelte Schlange, die in allen medizinischen Einrichtungen der Neuzeit zu sehen ist. Dies erinnert an den Stab, den Asklepios bei sich trug. Im antiken Griechenland und Rom war ein Asklepieion (Ἀσκληπιεῖον) ein Heilungstempel, der dem Gott Asklepios, dem griechischen Gott der Medizin, geweiht war. Diese Heilungstempel waren Orte, die Patienten besuchten, um Heilung oder irgen- deine Art von Heilung zu erhalten, sei es geistig oder körperlich. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es daher, die wichtigsten Merkmale des Asklepieions, vor allem die damit verbundene zeitgenössische Kultur- und Religionsgeschichte und antike Medizin, im Kontext archäologischer Neufunde an diesem Fundort zu untersuchen.

Published: May 2023

Сарадња родитеља деце са развојним тешкоћама са предшколском установом у условима инклузије представља мултидимензионални процес у којем је фокус на двосмерној комуникацији чији темељи треба да буду засновани на међусобном поверењу. Циљ овог рада јесте да се утврде разлике у мишљењима васпитача и родитеља о сарадњи предшколске установе и породица у димензијама: (а) међу- собног информисања у периоду припреме за полазак у школу, (б) активности родитеља у вртићу, и (в) активности родитеља у породици. Узорак су чинила 93 испитаника. Од тог броја, 51 су васпитачи запослени у предшколским уста- новама у Србији, а 42 родитељи деце са сметњама у развоју. Kвалитет сарадње испитан је применом Упитника о сарадњи родитеља и предшколске установе (Family Ivolvement Qestionnaire, Fantuzzo et al., 2000) прилагођеног потребама овог истраживања. Анализирајући резултате истраживања и доступну ли- тературу, закључујемо да је сарадња родитеља деце са развојним тешкоћа- ма и васпитача комплексан процес који изискује стрпљење свих актера, а за добробит и благостање сваког детета. Резултати истраживања показују да постоје статистички значајне разлике у одговорима васпитача и родитеља. Закључује се да се планским акцијама може унапредити сарадња између предш- колске установе и родитеља деце са сметњама. Сарадња родитеља и предш- колске установе условила би да транзиција деце са сметњама у развоју из вр- тића у школу не буде стресни догађај у животу детета.

Published: May 2023

Višedecenijske tendencije u vaspitno-obrazovnom sistemu ukazuju na potrebu da se djeci pristupi holistički i da se kod njih podstiču i razvijaju one kompetencije, sposobnosti, vještine i znanja kojima će ono moći da odoovori na izazove savremenog društva. Nastava likovne kulture jeste jedan u nizu predmeta koji kod djece razvija kreativnost, osjećaj za lijepo i kritičko mišljenje. Predmet ovog istraživanja je uloga umjetničkog djela kao faktora motivacije za razvijanje i podsticanje likovnih sposobnosti učenika mlađeg školskog uzrasta u nastavi likovne kulture. Za potrebe istraživanja osmišljen je eksperimentalni program pod nazivom Egzemplari likovne umjetnosti sa ciljem da podstakne djecu na stvaralaštvo. Problem istraživanja bio je utvrditi da li i u kojoj mjer likovno umjetničko djelo XX vijeka kroz planiran egzemplarani program primjene djela u nastavi likovne kulture razvija kreativnost kod učenika nižeg osnovnoškolskog uzrasta. Cilj istrаživаnjа je bio dа se utvrdi uticаj uvođenja egzemplara likovne umjetnosti u nastavu i koliko će to uticati na razvoj likovnih sposobnosti i razvoj kreativnosti kod učenika. Sprovedeno je eksperimentalno istraživanje u nastavi likovne kulture u vidu uvođenja egzemplara umjetničkog djela. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 840 učenika, uzrasta od 7 do 11 godina u osnovnim školama u Banjoj Luci. Istraživanje je pokazalo da su učenici eksperimentalne grupe pokazali mnogo bolje perceptivne sposobnosti u odnosu na učenike kontrolne grupe. Time se ukazuje na činjenicu da se nastavna praksa može unaprediti sistematičnijom upotrebom umjetničkog djela u nastavi likovne kulture. Ovi zaključci istraživanja pružaju osnovu učiteljima za osmišljavanje likovnih programa u kojim će umjetničko djelo biti važno nastavno sredstvo sa bogatim mogućnostima unapređivanja vaspitno – obrazovnog sistema.
ECOLOGY OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES
Authors: BULAJIĆ Snežana , LEDINA Tijana , ĐORĐEVIĆ Jasna
Published: May 2023

Food safety criteria for Listeria monocytogenes in the ready-to-eat food category have been applied since 2006. In the territory of the European Union in 2019, there were 2 621 confirmed cases of invasive listeriosis in humans, with a high mortality rate (17.6%). A broader understanding of the ecology of Listeria monocytogenes is crucial for the successful control of this pathogen in the food chain continuum. The paper presents new knowledge on reservoirs/sources of contamination, distribution, dynamics and transmission routes, survival and persistence of Listeria monocytogenes, both in natural habitat and in farm or processing environment.
CANINE VIRAL ENTERITIS – OLD AND NEW PATHOGENS
Authors: BACIĆ Dragan , OBRENOVIĆ Sonja
Published: May 2023

Canine viral eneritis is a frequent problem in clinical veterinary practice. From the discovery of canine parvovirus in the late 1970s to the present day, viruses have been one of the most common causes of diarrhea, especially in younger categories of dogs. The following primary causes of eneritis in dogs are most often isolated: parvovirus types 1 and 2, corona and rota virus. Modern molecular methods of diagnosis in the feces of dogs have proven the presence of new viruses, which lead to milder forms of enteritis (circoviruses, picornaviruses, astroviruses, calici and paramyxoviruses) in dogs. The presence of the virus in the feces of dogs with symptoms of diarrhea was proven in 40– 60% of the examined samples.

Published: May 2023

Microbiological examination of food is one of the most important control processes in food production and trade. In that way, we provide safe food on market, but also the consumption of foods and the prevention of diseases that can be transmitted by food contaminated with microorganisms. The aim of this study was to examine the microbiological status of minced meat and meat preparations in the period from years 2014 to 2020. Microbiological examinations included Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and the total number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria. ISO standard were used to isolate microorganisms (BAS EN ISO 6579-1, BAS ISO 16649-2, BAS EN ISO 4833- 1). A total of 9,942 samples of minced meat and meat preparations (kebabs, burgers, grilled sausages) were tested. It was determined that 10.66% of the samples did not meet the microbial criteria. The most commonly isolated pathogens were Escherichia coli in 11.60% and Salmonella spp. in 1.93% samples. The higher number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria (86.65% of samples) indicates bad hygiene and a potential rapid spoilage of the product.

Published: May 2023

Vital signs (puls rate, respiration rate and rectal temperature) and blood pressure play a major role in a general clinical examination of patients in veterinary medicine, with a final purpose to diagnose disease. The general condition of a dog's organism is affected by a number of factors and each organism has its own defense mechanism against the cause of a disease. Oscillations in body temperature (increased or decreased), number of breaths per minute, heart rate and increased or decreased pulse indicate the body's response to the harmful effects of pathogens. Therefore, these parameters are considered to be the first sign of a disease. The obtained study determined the importance of dietary patterns and living conditions of dogs on vital signs and blood pressure in dogs from the City of Tuzla and Lukavac area, based on the results and monitoring performed in 30 dogs during the winter period from November 2014 to January 2015. Many authors, in their professional and scientific publications, indicate that obesity is a possible contributing factor in the development of the diseases, and consequently "obesity epidemic" is involved as a term. A large number of studies conducted in the world point to the fact that hypertension and tachycardia in the human and increasingly in the animal population is serious health problem and a significant risk for occurrance of heart disease, kidney and blood vessels disorders. Although the cause of most cases is unknown, there are a number of possible influencing factors, including inadequate diet and consequent obesity, which significantly affect the occurrence of disease in humans and animals. The study was conducted on two different groups of dogs (30 in total), as group A (15 dogs) included dogs that were fed with a combination of ready to serve and prepared meals, and group B (15 dogs) included dogs that were irregularly fed and malnourished. The study was conducted in accordance with the data of the World Veterinary Association. During the routine examination, rectal temperature, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, as well as gender, breed, body weight, and age of the dog were used as parameters.

During last several decades, arsenic and its compounds have been characterized as major environmental pollutants and thus potential causes of both human and animals poisoning. Water and milk are one of the major sources of arsenic. In this study, the influence of arsenic from drinking water on the concentration of arsenic in cow`s milk was investigated, as well as the influence of arsenic on the udder parenchyma. The study included twenty cows from six farms in Banat. The cows from which blood and milk samples were taken were in good condition and clinically healthy. A statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.541 p=0.000) between arsenic concentration in drinking water for animals and cow`s milk was observed at all examined farms. Ultrasound examination of udder showed changes in parenchyma in 77 out of 120 cows. Arsenic present in drinking water for animals as well as in cow`s milk may have significant negative impact on cow`s health and may lead to pathological changes in the udder.
Ethics and Professionalism in the Activities of Representatives of Subjects of Public Control in the Russian Federation

Published: May 2023

The Russian Federation Constitution enshrines the legal status of the multinational people of Russia as the bearer of sovereignty and the only source of power in the country. However, the constitutional principles of democracy and the participation of society in the management of state affairs need a system of legal guarantees, the most important of which is the institution of public control. The basis of the legal regulation of this institution of civil society is a system of legal principles - the basic, most general principles that determine the content and main directions of regulation of this institution of civil society in the Russian Federation. A number of scientific research methods are used in the work: comparative legal, historical legal, formal logical and a number of others. This article is devoted to the analysis of ethics and professionalism in the activities of representatives of public control in the Russian Federation as its principle. The authors substantiate the need to expand the list of principles enshrined in Article 6 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ dated 21.07.2014 "On the Foundations of Public Control in the Russian Federation", in particular, the principles of centralism and decentralization in the organization and activities of subjects of public control, ethics and professionalism in the activities of their representatives, responsibility (both their representatives and officials, as well as representatives of objects of public control). The authors formalize and examine the main problems that prevent the consolidation and implementation of this principle of public control. The author has developed and substantiated a system of measures to resolve these problems, including by introducing amendments and additions to the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing number of younger schoolchildren with difficulties in mastering reading and writing. In recent decades, the hypothesis has been confirmed that one of the causes of difficulties in mastering reading and writing in elementary school may be reduced sensory reactivity of the vestibular system. The article presents the results of an experimental study of dynamic visual acuity in children with learning difficulties. Dynamic visual acuity reflects the quality of interaction between the visual and vestibular systems. Its violations can complicate the development of reading and writing. The study involved 35 primary school students with learning difficulties. The study was conducted on the basis of a pediatric neurological clinic, instrumental studies and vestibular training were conducted as prescribed by a neurologist. At the first stage, functional diagnostics of vestibular function was carried out. The functions of the otolith part of the vestibular apparatus were evaluated by the method of cervical vestibular evoked potentials. The functions of the horizontal semicircular channels of the vestibular apparatus were evaluated by measuring the duration of post-rotational nystagmus. The experimental group included children whose learning difficulties were combined with sensory hyperactivity of the vestibular system or asymmetry of sensory reactivity of the vestibular system. Then the children underwent vestibular training on a riding simulator with visual biofeedback. The duration of the training is 14 days. The assessment of dynamic visual acuity was carried out by the standard method in sitting and standing positions before and after the training. Dynamic visual acuity depends on the quality of the vestibulocular reflex. It is shown that vestibular training on a riding simulator with visual biofeedback significantly improves dynamic visual acuity in a group of children with hyperactivity, symptoms of astheno-neurotic syndrome, asymmetry of sensory reactivity of the vestibular apparatus. Further research is needed to assess the impact of the training results on the success of children in learning.
Image and text: to the question of textual sources of typological parallelism in the Iconography of Western European Art of the XII century.
Authors: Sycheva Iuliia
Published: May 2023

One of the iconographic trends that became especially articulated in the XII century is the strengthening of the role of typological logic in the selection and organization of subjects within the iconographic program of monuments of decorative and applied art, book illumination and stained glass. Interest in this kind of visual exegesis, based on the symbolic parallelism of the Old and New Testaments, generates experiments in the field of iconographic programs, which leads to the appearance in the late XII – early XIII centuries a number of monuments in which detailed typological cycles are used (the Klosterneuburg altar, typological stained glass windows of French and English cathedrals). The subject of the research in this article is the connection of the described iconographic trend with texts of a theological, theosophical and liturgical nature. Despite the fact that some of the mentioned texts have already been involved by researchers of Christian iconography for the interpretation of pictorial programs, a special study of the sources of "typological iconography" in the XII century has not been implemented yet. Based on the analysis of a number of texts and iconographic analysis of fine art monuments, an attempt is made to identify a group of sources that could be familiar to the compilers of iconographic programs. Among the monuments of fine art, works created in the Rheno-mosan region (as well as derivatives of this tradition) are of particular interest in the XII century. In this group of works of art (including processional and altar crosses, phylacteries, portable altars, works of stained glass and book illumination), searches in the field of typological iconography are consistently realized.
Spindle assembly checkpoint-dependent mitotic delay is required for cell division in absence of centrosomes
Authors: Farrell KC , Wang Jennifer T. , Stearns Tim
Published: May 2023

The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) temporally regulates mitosis by preventing progression from metaphase to anaphase until all chromosomes are correctly attached to the mitotic spindle. Centrosomes refine the spatial organization of the mitotic spindle at the spindle poles. However, centrosome loss leads to elongated mitosis, suggesting that centrosomes also inform the temporal organization of mitosis in mammalian cells. Here we find that the mitotic delay in acentrosomal cells is enforced by the SAC in a MPS1-dependent manner, and that a SAC-dependent mitotic delay is required for bipolar cell division to occur in acentrosomal cells. Although acentrosomal cells become polyploid, polyploidy is not sufficient to cause dependency on a SAC-mediated delay to complete cell division. Rather, the division failure in absence of MPS1 activity results from mitotic exit occurring before acentrosomal spindles can become bipolar. Furthermore, prevention of centrosome separation suffices to make cell division reliant on a SAC-dependent mitotic delay. Thus, centrosomes and their definition of two spindle poles early in mitosis provide a “timely two-ness” that allows cell division to occur in absence of a SAC-dependent mitotic delay.
Screening for mecA and mecC Gene Carriage among Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus at a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Ramesh Rakshita , Sinha Deepa , Ambica R , Shantala GB
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has emerged as one of the most important human pathogen, and has been a leading cause of hospital and community acquired infections. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrying the mecA gene is resistant to the majority of β-lactam antibiotics. In 2007, a new S. aureus strain harboring mecA gene homologue, mecC, was found in England which posed diagnostic problems. Accurate and rapid detection of MRSA is required for effective treatment. Aim: To screen for mecA and mecC genes among methicillin resistant isolates of S. aureus using conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and to associate their presence to KirbyBauer disc diffusion and automated Vitek 2 methods. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Victoria hospital, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, from July to October 2019. A total of 60 duplicate S. aureus samples were obtained from various clinical samples during the study period. Isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility by cefoxitin disc diffusion and automated Vitek-2. Isolates were screened for mecA and mecC gene carriage using conventional PCR. Descriptive statistics was used for the comparison of data and appropriate statistical charts were used to present the data. Results: Among 60 S. aureus isolates, 41 (68.33%) of them were considered MRSA by conventional Disc Diffusion Method (DDM) and 48 (80%) of them were considered MRSA by automated Vitek-2. By conventional PCR only 34 (56.67%) isolates carried the mecA gene and none of the clinical isolates possessed the mecC gene. Conclusion: An overall MRSA prevalence of 56.67% was observed by PCR in present study. The mecC gene was not detected in any of the S. aureus isolates. Present study indicates the presence of mecA and mecC negative phenotypically identified MRSA isolates. Rather than absolute dependence on the mecA gene as the defining standard in determining MRSA, alternative mechanisms of resistance-presence of mecC, mecB genes, hyperproduction of b-lactamase; can potentially be a knowledge trove for researchers to delve into.

Published: May 2023

Cutaneous birth marks are heterogeneous group of congenital skin lesions with a high diagnostic value. A good clinician by looking at the skin, eye and face can diagnose conditions like Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), Ataxia-telangiectasia, Von Hippel-Lindau disease, Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) and others. The author reports in the present case series, six cases presenting with one or more of the following seven different types of facial neurocutaneous markers like Café-au-lait Macules (CALM), neurofibromas, facial angiofibromas, forehead plaque, hypomelanotic macules (ash-leaf) on the trunk and extremities, capillary malformation in the face (port-wine stain) and ocular telangiectasia. Using these cutaneous markers as red alerts, the authors did a focused clinical examination, ophthalmic and auditory evaluation, neuroimaging, renal and cardiac evaluation to come to a diagnosis. This helped us in detecting clinical syndromes like NF1, TSC, SWS and unveiled the hidden morbidities like hypertension, intracranial tumours, intracardiac rhabdomyoma, glaucoma and others ocular abnormalities. The present case series emphasises on the need for all Paediatrician and Ophthalmologist, to develop a clinical eye to identify neurocutaneous markers in children, who may arrive at their clinic with various problems for early diagnosis and treatment of various neurocutaneous syndrome and their co-morbidities.

Introduction: Blood transfusion services form an essential component of any healthcare system and it is imperative to provide adequate and safe blood for management of patients. Voluntary blood donors form the backbone of this service. However, regular donation by such voluntary donors may cause significant depletion of iron stores in the body. This has the potential to adversely affect the donor’s health, and also to lower the quality of blood being collected subsequently. The temporary deferral of such donors also causes reluctance to return for future blood donations, leading to decrease in size of the donor pool. The prompt detection of subclinical iron deficiency in voluntary blood donors is the need of the hour. Aim: To compare and analyse the difference in red cell parameters of first-time and repeat blood donors. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted by the Department of Blood Bank and Pathology at Rajarshi Dashrath Autonomous State Medical College, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India, from July 2021 to December 2022. After prospective donors were assessed for suitability of blood donation, written informed consent was obtained, and 5 mL venous blood was collected into an Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA)- anticoagulated vial via the antecubital fossa. Complete blood count was performed within one hour of collection using an automated haematology analyser. The parameters analysed in the study were Red Blood Cell (RBC) count, haemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), and Red cell Distribution Width (RDW). The generated data was compiled and statistical analysis, with Kruskal-Wallis test (at a p-value of 0.05) and post-hoc Dunn test was performed to determine the significant differences, if any. Results: The study included 455 participants, out of which 210 were repeat blood donors. The significant differences for MCV, MCH and RDW between groups defined by number of donations (p-value <0.001) was observed. The difference was most significant between the donors having five or more donations compared to donors having no previous donations. No significant differences were observed for other parameters, with p-values for RBC count, haemoglobin, and MCHC being 0.3, 0.07, and 0.09, respectively. Conclusion: Repeat blood donors having low MCV and MCH along with high RDW, with haemoglobin values within normal range, are most susceptible to having subclinical iron deficiency, which needs to be identified and managed pre-emptively, before development of Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA). This is necessary in order to retain regular and repeat voluntary blood donors, and also to ensure adequate quality of collected blood.

Mastic asphalt mixture (MA) has been particularly popular in recent years for bridge pavements due to many advantages, such as easy application, good waterproofing properties and high durability. However, the drawback of the mastic asphalt mixture in comparison to other asphalt mixtures is its lower resistance to permanent deformation. Additive, such as natural asphalt Trinidad Lake Asphalt (TLA) is often applied to make the mastic asphalt mixture resistant to permanent deformation. Practical experience demonstrates that serious failures may occur if MA pavement design and materials selection is not taken into account sufficiently. Therefore, in this study, the influence of two parameters: the TLA content and bitumen-filler mastic composition described by the filler-binder ratio (f/b), on the rutting resistance of the MA mixture, were evaluated. The rutting resistance of the MA mixtures was evaluated on the basis of static and dynamic indentation tests. Both parameters showed a high correlation with the rutting parameters. The mathematical relationships can be used for the prediction of MA composition in such a way that the final MA mixture meets the relevant requirements of the rutting resistance.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has created caused great “uncertainty” and has challenged many assumptions about the existence of the nation and bilateral relations. It has given rise to geopolitical tensions influencing international trade. Given the significant contribution of petroleum-based products in India’s import basket, this study examines the changing international trade pattern for India. It ultimately seeks to highlight key opportunities, challenges, and suggestions for India’s aim to become ‘Atmanirbhar’ or ‘self-reliant’. We reviewed trade and economic data (for imports and exports, inflation) in the context of India. Data from sources like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and government sources such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and the Ministry of Commerce, is reviewed. The analysis highlights an increasing trade deficit (i.e., imports higher than exports).  The lessons India can learn from this battle to go forward and truly become "Atmanirbhar" are the main topic of this essay. The purpose of this study is to explain the significant effects of the aforementioned dispute on and impacting numerous aspects like the economy, trade, bilateral relations, and manufacturing capacities, we adopt an evidence-based approach. The current research (study) just presents one point of view; more sector-specific research using an empirical methodology is advised to explore the manufacturing sector segments (in the context of India) that have strong potential to turn India into "Atmanirbhar."

Introduction: The goal of the study was to assess the factors that influence the utilization of Insecticide Treated bed Nets (ITN) in the prevention of malaria in the Berekum East Municipality. 

Methods: Quantitative cross sectional design was used to conduct the study in the Berekum East Municipality. Total of 307 respondents aged between 20-60 years were randomly selected for data collection with the aid of a questionnaire. Data were analysed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used to examine the factors influencing ITN use at 95% confidence interval.

Results: The study found that 87.6% of the respondents owned ITN; however 28% of them used it regularly while 72% use it irregularly. Only 12.4% of the respondents did not use ITN because they did not have them. Majority of the respondents (94.4%) had sufficient knowledge about INT. The reasons that prevented the people from using the ITN included inconvenienced sleeping under them, skin rashes and heat intolerance. The key predictors of appropriate use of ITN were education level, the number of occupants per room, the structure of the room and the knowledge level and the availability of ITNs. Age range 20-30 year had odds ratio of 1.633 of using ITN than other age groups. Likewise, people with tertiary education had OR 2.036 ITN usage more than other educational categories.

Conclusion: There was high ITN ownership with poor usage. Strengthening health education of the benefits and importance of ITN use will improve appropriate utilization of ITN among the people of Berekum Municipality.

The present character association study aims to understand the correlation between morphological, physiological and yield traits of rice genotypes under water stress and non-stress conditions, so as to identify the differentially expressing traits under both the conditions. Such differentially expressed traits with positive influence on yield can serve as selection criteria for selection of stress tolerant plants. The experiment was carried out using randomized complete block design with three replications at the department of plant breeding and genetics, college of agriculture, Kerala Agricultural University between December 2021 and March 2022. Sixteen characters pertaining to morphological, physiological and yield of three rice genotypes were recorded under reproductive stage water stress and non-stress conditions. The intensity of trait correlations varied significantly under drought and non-drought conditions. The results of correlation studies indicate positive and significant correlation of grain yield with number of tillers, 1000 grain weight, photosynthetic rate, inter cellular CO2 content and water use efficiency under well-watered condition and of these, 1000 grain weight, and inter cellular CO2 content had significant positive influence on grain yield under drought stress. Principal component analysis results indicated two principal components i.e., PC1 and PC2 accounted for 70.5% and 29.5% of the total variation in grain yield under drought and 89% and 11% respectively under non drought conditions. Correlation and principal component analysis concluded that plants with higher grain weight along with improved high internal carbon dioxide content in leaves can be selected for attaining high yield potential under drought and non-drought conditions and will serve as climate adaptive crops under varying soil moisture levels.
