The purpose of the work is a commercial and biological assessment of basic invertebrate species and other aquatic organisms in the northern regions of the Sea of Japan. Studies provide current characteristics of many commercial populations of bottom hydrobionts inhabiting depths of 24–611m.

The material and methods are standard for fisheries research in Russia. Materials were collected in 29.04.-01.06.2022, in bottom trawl survey. The main objects of Decapoda research are commercial species of crabs and shrimps, as well as other species of hydrobionts.

The new data revealed the following: 1) among crabs, the commercial stock increased slightly everywhere in Paralithodes camtschaticus, but it also decreased everywhere in P. platypus and Chionoecetes opilio, and in the crab Erimacrus isenbeckii, there was a significant increase only in Western Sakhalin; 2) among shrimps, the commercial stock increased everywhere in Pandalus borealis and P. hypsinotus, and in P. goniurus increased in the north of the Primorye subzone, but decreased in Western Sakhalin; 3) the biological condition and stock   of other commercial invertebrates and fish of the bottom complex was satisfactory or a slight increase in their numbers was noted.

The practical significance of the research is to provide fishing and biological information for annual prognostic materials on the total allowable catches of bottom commercial species of hydrobionts for the areas of the northern part of the Sea of Japan.

The purpose of the work is to study the possibility of organizing a new type of Caspian Sea sprat fishing in the western part of the Middle Caspian Sea using multi–depth trawls.

The method is the performance in 2009–2012 of all-season expeditionary search trawl-acoustic, ichthyological and hydrological works using generally accepted methods.

The novelty consists in the conducted studies allowed to assess the distribution and formation of commercial clusters of Caspian Sea sprat in the pre-winter and winter period in the western part of the Middle Caspian Sea. We revealed that in the cold season, in conditions of the lowest water temperature values, specific changes in the behavior of Caspian Sea sprat occur here, which make it possible to effectively catch its accumulations with a multi-depth trawl.

The results are based on the analysis of research materials from 2009–2012 that allowed to develop a biological justification for the organization of a new type of marine fishing in the Caspian Sea — the extraction     of Caspian Sea sprat by multi-depth trawls.

The practical significance — based on the recommendations of CaspNIRKH in 2019, a Russian trawl fishery for Caspian Sea sprat was organized in the western part of the Middle Caspian Sea, which is currently developing successfully.

Objective.
To analyze frequency and identify genetic determinants of resistance of non-typhoid Salmonella (NTS) producing extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) isolated in the Russian Federation over the period 2016 to 2020.

Materials and Methods.
Salmonella isolates, suspected to ESBL production, were collected by the All-Russia Reference Center of Salmonellosis during the national Salmonellosis surveillance program. Phenotypic resistance was determined by the broth microdilution method using G-I and G-II Mikrolatest®SensiLaTest MIC plates and by the double-disk synergy test. Whole genome sequencing was performed on the NextSeq platform (Illumina, USA), with subsequent de novo genome assembly (SPAdes 3.15.4), identification of plasmid types (MOB-suite v3.0.0), and identification of resistance genes (AMRFinderPlus v3.10.40).

Results.
Out of 1792 NTS isolates, 22 strains contained bla-genes of molecular classes A and D (blaTEM, blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaOXA), one strain – AmpC (blaCMY-2) and three strains – combination ESBL of class A and AmpC (blaTEM, blaCMY-2, blaDHA). The frequency of occurrence of ESBL-producing Salmonella is 1.3%, AmpC – 0.2%. Additionally, strains were resistant to other non-β-lactam antibiotics. Six different types of plasmids were identified (IncI, IncFIB, IncC, IncHI2A, IncL/M and IncX1) in studied isolates. It was possible for 17 strains to identify location of resistance genes in plasmids of a certain type.

Conclusions.
The frequency of occurrence of Salmonella strains producing ESBL and AmpC was 1.45%, which were found in sporadic cases of human diseases, as well as food and environmental objects were sources of isolation. The fact of detection of such strains among various NTC serotypes and a wide range of sources of isolation confirms the relevance of monitoring antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella strains in the future.

Authors: Pozdnyakova-Filatova I.Yu. , Zagoskin A.A. , Zakharova M.V. , Nagornykh Maxim O.
Published: December 2022

Objective.
To determine whether the genes whose products are annotated as «MBL-fold metallohydrolase superfamily» are related to the proteins of the metallo-β-lactamase group.

Materials and Methods.
Sequences of the 7 genes annotated as «MBL-fold metallohydrolase superfamily» were analyzed using the following resources: ClustalW, IQ-TREE, iTOL. Selection of the oligonucleotides for real-time PCR was performed using the Primer-BLAST resource. The level of gene expression was assessed using real-time PCR. MIC and MBC measuring was performed using cefepime and meropenem. The double-disc method with EDTA was used to determine the presence of MBL in the strain.

Results.
Analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the studied genes revealed that all of them were not included in the clade containing sequences of metallo-β-lactamase. In the exponential growth phase, mRNAs corresponding to the studied proteins were found. Determination of MIC and MBC revealed a low level of resistance to antibiotics of the β-lactamase group. The phenotypic test was negative for MBL in P. putida strain BS3701.

Conclusions.
The investigated genes and corresponding proteins are not related to metallo-β-lactamases. They are not involved in the resistance of P. putida BS3701 to antibiotics of the metallo-β-lactamase group.

Published: December 2022

Objective.
To present a case of successful treatment of a secondary bacterial infection caused by nondiphtheritic corynebacterium in a patient with severe COVID-19 and known beta-lactam intolerance.

Materials and Methods.
A clinical case of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Corynebacterium amycolatum in a 74-year-old patient hospitalized with severe COVID-19 is presented. Comorbidity (secondary immune deficiency due to active malignancy, chemotherapy courses; previous heart disease) and the need for immunosuppressive therapy were triggers for infection caused by a rare Gram-positive bacterium which is usually considered as clinically non-significant. The choice of empiric antimicrobial treatment was limited by the patient’s history of beta-lactam intolerance.

Results.
A multidisciplinary approach to medical care of the patient and alertness to secondary infections helped to diagnose IE in a timely manner and to choose effective antimicrobial therapy. Combination therapy with vancomycin and amikacin helped to make blood flow free from infection. The further switch to oral doxycycline in outpatient settings resulted in the patient recovery from the infection.

Conclusions.
Under conditions of limited choice of drug therapy, it is critical to have access to modern microbiological diagnostics which make it possible to diagnose rare pathogens. A dialogue between treating physician and clinical pharmacologist helps to choose an empirical and targeted antimicrobial therapy with the best efficacy-safety ratio. There is a need to be alert to secondary infections, including those of atypical locations and courses and caused by rare or opportunistic pathogens.

Published: December 2022

Objective.
To study spectrum of pathogens and the time to colonization of respiratory samples in patients with severe and critical COVID-19 as well as to analyze incidence of nosocomial infections and structure of prescribed antibacterial drugs.

Materials and Methods.
The prospective observational study included patients aged 18 years and older with confirmed severe and critical COVID-19 from December 2021 to February 2022. During the first 48 hours and then every 2–3 days of hospitalization, a respiratory sample was collected: sputum, tracheal aspirate (if intubated), bronchoalveolar lavage (if bronchoscopy was performed) for microscopy and microbiological examination. Some patients were screened for invasive aspergillosis. Clinical and demographic data, comorbidities, pathogenetic therapy for COVID-19, antibiotic therapy, cases of probable/documented bacterial nosocomial infections, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and hospital treatment outcomes were recorded.

Results.
A total of 82 patients were included in this study. Patients with lung parenchyma involvement of more than 50% by computer tomography predominated; most of them (77%) required intubation and mechanical ventilation due to progression of respiratory failure, and 76% of patients had a lethal outcome. During the first 48 hours, a respiratory sample was obtained from 47 patients; the rest of the patients presented with non-productive cough. No growth of microorganisms was detected in 31 (36.8%) cases; clinically significant pathogens were detected in 16 (19.5%) patients. A subsequent analysis included data from 63 patients with a sufficient number of samples for dynamic observation were used. During the first 3 days of ICU stay, the most common bacterial pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae without acquired antibiotic resistance and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. From 3rd day and afterwards, an increase in the proportion of Acinetobacter baumannii, other non-fermenting bacteria, and carbapenemresistant Enterobacterales was noted. Among the pathogens causing lower respiratory tract infections, A. baumannii and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae were predominant pathogens and accounted for 76% of cases. Positive galactomannan test results were obtained in 4 cases.

Conclusions.
The study confirmed importance of bacterial nosocomial infections in patients with severe and critical COVID-19. In the case of the development of nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections, empirical antimicrobial therapy should take into account the predominance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteria and A. baumannii, as well as the possibility of invasive aspergillosis.

Published: December 2022

The study's main goal is to investigate the relevance between the objectives set by the government of Pakistan behind the implementation of the single national curriculum and the presented content in the English textbooks (Grade 2-5) of Punjab Textbook Board under SNC criteria. The study looks at how the English textbooks (PTB) can help people achieve the said three objectives out of seven, such as, upward social mobility, conforming to international trends, and equity in education. This study aims to focus whether the content of PTB English textbooks (Grade 2-5) is appropriate to meet the expected objectivity through the perspective of gender representation, which is very much significant to develop a balanced society. The study is not being taken up under the umbrella of feminist movement but in the context of observing neutrality among the gender representation that will ultimately lead to obtain the said objectives. It’s a scientifically recognized fact that the early stage of cognitive development plays a major role in constructing the individuals’ ideologies, gender-based concepts and their roles in society. This study aims to examine the gender representation and portrayal of male and female through their occupational roles, home chores, sports and social activities and adjectives used to describe them. A mixed method approach as a research method has been chosen for the project, Chi square test has been applied to the quantitative data to examine the difference between observed frequencies and expected frequencies of gender representation through determined categories in the content of the English textbooks (Grade 2-5) of PTB. The results revealed that women in English textbooks (Grade 2-5) of PTB are underrepresented as men are more depicted in number of occupational and social roles and they are not responsible for domestic chores, they have been presented as providers and women have been shown as helpers and delicate creature of the society. At the end of this research some recommendations are suggested required to the content and solutions to the existing issues in these books to make it more fruitful and a balanced one.

This research paper aims to describe environmental crime as the most significant apprehension of ecocriticism. The study explores the influences of environmental crime on nature and inhabitants who suffered just because of the scientific experiments done by outsiders. The research also brings into focus the continuous so struggle of indigenous people for eco-justice against this eco crime, which is analyzed through an eco-critical lens. Laura Westra introduced the term ‘Green Politics’ to illustrate how developing countries are ecologically imperialized by developed countries. Indra Sinha, in his novel Animal’s People, represents the unwanted changes in society that make people hollow and helpless. The study focuses on the ecological violence in India by outsiders and the endless efforts of Indian people to question environmental justice. The research is a contribution to the field of Ecocriticism which points out environmental degradation and its impacts on the lives of human beings resulting from Industrialization.

Este artigo, formatado como ensaio teórico, discute as questões no âmbito da educação, práticas antirracistas, branquitude e decolonialidade. O objetivo é refletir acerca das questões que envolvem o racismo e a branquitude a partir dos currículos e bibliografias nas instituições de ensino, a fim da necessidade de ampliar as discussões e conscientização social da população sobre o tema. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo consiste em uma abordagem qualitativa. Desse modo, o ensaio traz o contexto e as características de uma escola que atende a Comunidade Quilombola do Abacatal. Destaca-se que o desenvolvimento do debate acerca de uma educação antirracista deve considerar a formação dos profissionais e as práticas pedagógicas, que ainda são pautadas pelo contexto histórico e social do colonialismo e do escravismo. Conclui-se que a partir de melhorias no currículo e bibliografias das instituições de ensino, é possível trazer um novo olhar para as ideologias que estruturam a sociedade no viés do racismo e da branquitude.

Truman Doktrininden SaGeB’e Türk Dış Politikası Ekseninde Modern Türk Savunma Sanayiinin Kuruluşu
Authors: ERMİŞ Uğur , CANBOLAT İbrahim

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, Kurtuluş Savaşı’ndan itibaren kendisine hedef olarak koyduğu ulusal savunma sanayii kurma idealinden, 1919-1947 yılları arasında yapılan yatırımların farklı nedenlerle büyük ölçüde başarısız olması nedeniyle vazgeçmiştir. SSCB tehdidinin ortaya çıkışı ise Türkiye’yi savaş sonrasında önce ABD ile müttefik olmaya itmiş, 1952 yılında Türkiye NATO’nun koruma şemsiyesi altına girmiştir. Bu dönemde özellikle ABD’den yapılan şarta bağlı silah yardımları Türkiye’nin bir güvenlik yanılsaması yaşamasına neden olmuştur. 1964 yılında Kıbrıs’a müdahale kararı sonrası ABD Başkanı Johnson tarafından gönderilen mektupla birlikte Türkiye, içinde bulunduğu yanılsamanın farkına varmıştır. Kıbrıs’a müdahale için ABD menşeli silahların kullanımının ABD tarafından hoş görülmeyeceğinin Türkiye’ye bildirilmesi Kıbrıs müdahalesini on yıl geciktirmiştir. Türkiye bu dönemde ulusal çıkarları gerçekleştirmek için dış kaynaktan elde edilen silahlara güvenilemeyeceğini anlamış ve kuruluş hedeflerini tekrar benimseyerek günümüze değin gelişimini devam ettiren ulusal savunma sanayii kurma stratejisine geri dönmüştür.

Teopetika Pemulihan Trauma: Pemulihan Trauma berbasis Ras berdasarkan Film Kitorang Basudara dan Freedom Writers
Authors: Maharani Aurora
Published: December 2022

Traumatic experiences of post-discrimination and racial-based violence tend to be ignored and silenced by society. This traumatic experience is not voiced and has a potential to legalize racial discrimination and violence. Rebecca Chopp in several of her writings which are also quoted by several theologians, tries to porpose a theopoetic theory as a trauma recovery room. Theopoetic theory of trauma healing emphasizes on testimony or narratives and reinterpretation towards traumatic narratives. This paper tries to perceive the theory of theopoetic from Kitorang Basudara and Freedom Writers films. Both those films show that racial differences in society can be main source of trauma as well as a space for trauma recovery, if society gives and meaning of trauma narratives.AbstrakPengalaman traumatik pasca diskriminasi dan kekerasan berbasis rasial cenderung diabaikan dan dibungkam oleh masyarakat. Pengalaman traumatik tersebut tidak tersuarakan dan berpotensi menciptakan pelegalan diskriminasi dan kekerasan berbasis rasial. Rebecca Chopp dalam beberapa tulisannya yang juga dikutip oleh beberapa teolog, mencoba menawarkan teori teopoetika sebagai ruang pemulihan trauma. Teori teopoetika pemulihan trauma ini menitikberatkan pada kesaksian atau narasi dan pemaknaan ulang terhadap narasi traumatik. Tulisan ini mencoba melihat teopoetik pemulihan trauma dari film Kitorang Basudara dan Freedom Writers. Kedua film tersebut menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan ras di kalangan masyarakat dapat menjadi sumber trauma sekaligus ruang pemulihan trauma, jika masyarakat memberi ruang pada narasi trauma dan pemaknaan atas narasi trauma.
