Latin American Esenin: the Reception Angles
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nad”jarnykh Maria F.
Published: January 2022

The perception of Esenin’s life and work in Latin America is considered as an extensive branched nonlinear process, the interpretation of which is based on a combination of historical-literary, socio-cultural and general theoretical methods. Attention is focused on the identification-value and dialogic perspectives of reception, while reconstructing the Latin American understanding of Esenin, special attention is paid to revolutionary, avant-garde and universalizing contexts. The research material, which is being introduced for the first time into Esenin studies, is the essays of J. C. Mariategui (Peru), poetry by G. Rojas (Chile), poetry by J. Laurentino Ortiz (Argentina), poetry and essays of J. Teiller (Chile), poetry and essay studies of C. Tiempo (Argentina) etc.
Translations of S. A. Esenin’s Poetry into Finnish in Karelia (1920–1980’s)
Authors:   Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Chikina Natalia V.
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the Finnish translations of Sergey Esenin’s poetry made in the period from 1920 through the 1980’s by H. Ato, A. Äikiä, N. Laine, T. Summanen and T. Flink. Most of the translations were published in the collection of Russian lyrics “Russia’s New Poetry: 40 Soviet Russian Poets” (Petrozavodsk, 1989). The translators have managed to fulfil all the necessary requirements of poetic translation: retain the structural design of the piece, the poet’s style, create an accurate rhyming in spite of the difference between the Russian and the Finnish languages and in some cases add the ethnic element.

The dictionary of the rhymes by S. A. Esenin was compiled on the basis of “The Complete Works of S. A. Esenin” in 7 volumes, 9 books. (Moscow, Nauka — Golos Publ., 1995–2001) and contains the end rhymes of all his poetic works (including the sections “Poems in case”, “Excerpts. Unfinished”, “Collective”) — except for rhymes that are found in prose texts, letters and are also presented in the sections “Variants” and in the section “Appendices” of the 4th volume (“Lines recorded by contemporaries” and “Attributed. Dubia”). In addition, the vocabulary does not include consonances arising at the beginnings of lines and internal rhymes. The terminal consonances recorded in Esenin’s poetic works are arranged in alphabetical order of rhyming words and phrases, indicating the volume and page. When establishing the order of the compound rhymes,the space between words is not taken into account. The word combination participating in the formation of a compound rhyme is placed in the general alphabetical row of rhyming words. This rule also applies when one of the elements of the rhyme pair begins with a preposition or conjunction. For the convenience of using the dictionary the material in it is organized so that each rhyme pair can be found using any of the words included in it. This applies to compound rhymes and hyphenated words. The dictionary creates favorable conditions for studying the poet’s rhyme and statistical calculations, facilitates the identification of features, that bring Esenin’s rhyme system closer to the systems of other poets, and at the same time allows one to discover the individual characteristics of Esenin’s rhyme. Keywords: S. A. Esenin, rhyme, poetry, dictionary of rhymes.
“The Art Should Cause a Shock”: Echoes of the English-Speaking Imagism in the Creative Practice of the Russian Imaginists
Authors:   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, Savchenko Tatiana K.
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the some general points in theory and poetic practice of the English imagism and the imaginists: the idea of synthesis of arts, the interoperability of its various species, the liberation of poetry from the old frozen clichés, its enrichment with new forms, the clarity of visual images, the desire for lexical savings and at the same time a wide rhythmic and melodic range. It is shown how the renewal of the poetic language, the struggle for which was proclaimed by the imagists, has become an important part of the art programs of Russian imaginists. Special attention is paid to comparative analysis of the works of Pound, Sandberg, Lowell with the problems and poetics of the Shershenevich’s poems.

From pandemic Covid-19 to endemic Sars-2 Omicron Disease: is Long Covid still an issue?
Authors: Diamandis Dr. Carolina , Ivanova Olga , Author Adrian Tudor Corresponding
Published: January 2022

For many patients with severe Covid-19 disease of the pre-Omicron era, recovery is far from over with the end of acute symptoms. The authors of this paper have reviewed the currently available studies and conclude that Long-Covid appears to be a serious, sometimes even life-threatening syndrome. However, it seems to have good prospects for full recovery with multidisciplinary and evidence-based post-treatment care, which is, however, still lacking in Europe and North America. The Omicron variant appears to be a game changer in this regard as well. So far it seems that Long Covid is no common consequence of Sars-2-Omicron Disease.
Effective population size in partially clonal plants is not predicted by the number of genetic individuals

Published: January 2022

Estimating effective population size (Ne) is essential for theoretical
and practical applications in evolutionary biology and conservation.
Nevertheless, estimates of Ne in organisms with complex life-history
traits remain scarce because of the challenges associated with
estimation methods. Partially clonal plants capable of vegetative
(clonal) growth and sexual reproduction are a common group of organisms
in which the discrepancy between the apparent number of individuals
(ramets) and the number of genetic individuals (genets) may be striking,
and it is unclear how this discrepancy relates to Ne. In this study, we
analysed two populations of the orchid Cypripedium calceolus to
understand how the rate of clonal vs. sexual reproduction impacted Ne.
We sampled and genotyped >1000 ramets at microsatellites
and SNPs loci, and estimated contemporary Ne with the linkage
disequilibrium method, starting from the theoretical expectation that
variance in reproductive success among individuals caused by clonal
reproduction and by constraints on sexual reproduction would lower Ne.
We considered factors potentially affecting our estimates, including
using different molecular markers and sampling strategies, and
pseudoreplication in genomic datasets. The magnitude of Ne/Nramets and
Ne/Ngenets ratios we provide may be used as reference points for other
species with similar life-history traits. Our findings demonstrate that
Ne in partially clonal plants cannot be predicted based on the number of
genets generated by sexual reproduction because demographic changes over
time strongly influence Ne. This is especially relevant in species of
conservation concern, in which population declines may not be detected
by only ascertaining the number of genets.
Molecular insights into the structural and dynamical changes of calcium channel TRPV6 induced by its interaction with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate
Authors: Wang Lingyun , Cai Ruiqi , Chen Xing-Zhen , Peng Ji-Bin
Published: January 2022

Transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 6 (TRPV6) is an
epithelial Ca  channel that regulates the initial
step of the transcellular Ca  transport pathway.
TRPV6 is expressed in the kidney, intestine, placenta, and other
tissues, and the dysregulation of the channel is implicated in several
human cancers. It has been reported that phosphatidylinositol
4,5-bisphosphate (PIP ) activates TRPV6 and its close
homologue TRPV5; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is less
clear. Recently, a structure of rabbit TRPV5 in complex with dioctanoyl
(diC ) PIP , a soluble form of PIP
, was determined by cryo-electron microscopy. Based on
this structure, the structural model of human TRPV6 with PIP
was set up, and then molecular dynamics simulations
were performed for TRPV6 with and without PIP .
Simulation results show that the positively charged residues responsible
for TRPV5 binding of diC PIP are
involved in the interactions between TRPV6 and PIP .
The binding of PIP to TRPV6 increases the distance
between the diagonally opposed residues D542 in the selectivity filter
and that between the diagonally opposed M578 residues in the lower gate
of TRPV6. A secondary structural analysis reveals that residues of M578
in TRPV6 undergo structural and position changes during binding of PIP
with TRPV6. In addition, principal component analysis
indicates that the binding of PIP increases the
dynamical motions of both the selectivity filter and the lower gate of
TRPV6. These changes induced by PIP favor the channel
opening. Thus, this study provides a basis for understanding the
mechanism underlying the PIP -induced TRPV6 channel
activation.

Authors:   Institute of Education University of Ibadan Ibadan, Nigeria, Babatunde E.O.
Published: January 2022

The outbreak of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly inflicted a danger on health, economy and social relations globally covering the six continents and around 2.7 million people had died after contracting the respiratory virus. The global pandemic has necessitated some drastic measures to curb its spread. It is uncertain whether these measures are known and their perception about the measures cannot be ascertained. This study assessed the awareness and perception of COVID-19 vaccine on the health status of urban adult dwellers in Nigeria. The four research questions that guided the study. The study employed correlational research type of non-experimental design. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample 300 participants that took part in the study. Only participants that had taken the COVID-19 vaccine were included in the study. One instrument, Adult Awareness and Perception of Covid-19 Vaccines on Health Status Questionnaire (APCVHSQ) with Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient 0.85 was used for data collection. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistic of frequency, percentages and mean as well as thematic analysis. The result revealed that majority of the adult population are aware of the various measures embarked upon to curb the spread of the virus (2.50<3.07). Moreover, adult population in Nigeria perception of covid-19 vaccine prevalence was relatively negative (2.50<2.60). In addition, majority 249 (81.6%) of the adult population believed that their health conditions were not worsened after taken Covid-19 vaccine while 261 (84.2%) of the adult population in Nigeria did not find it difficult to cope with their daily activities after the vaccination. 48.4% had the higher cases of malaria associated with Covid-19 vaccination. It is suggested that more awareness campaign should be embarked upon by the agency responsible for mobilization to reduce the negative attitude of COVID-19 vaccine among the adult population. Keywords: COVID-19, vaccine, perception, adult population.

Beyond the financial sector, the use of blockchain in supply chain traceability is extremely important, although the tradeoffs between implementation difficulties and attainable effect are uncertain. Six components of blockchain-based technologies in the food supply chain were examined in this research using a technology elvaluation methodology that differentiates between six distinct components of a technology: technique, knowledge, organization, innovation, environment and product. The research aims to offer fresh crucial insights into how blockchain-based technologies may be applied in the food supply chain, as well as to further the debate on blockchain-based technologies' social and environmental implications. The findings show that blockchain is not a stand-alone technology, but rather one component in a larger system of technologies. While blockchain-based technologies are anticipated to have a wide range of effects, only a few are directly related to the blockchain: Change management and external pressure, Complexity of integrating different systems, Lack of knowledge and expertise, high investment are the impediment and constraints affecting full adoption of block chain based technologies. More study is required to establish if blockchain-based technologies enhance the sustainability of agricultural supply chains as anticipated.

In search for plant protein and vitamins substitute, the African locust beans (Parkia biolobosa) have found very popular used for condiment, baby’s formulation diets and animal meals. The aim of this study was to produce biscuits from African locust beans pulps flour and wheat flour. The matured and ripped African locust beans pods purchased from Bauchi market. The pods were manually cleaned and milled. The wheat/locust bean pulp flour were mixed in the ratio; 100:0%, 90:10%, 80:20%, 70:30% and 60:40% respectively. The proximate composition of the biscuit samples were analyzed with standard methods. There was decrease in protein contents of the biscuits as African locust bean flour is added and increase in moisture content. This result revealed that African locust beans flour can be added up to 30% substitution level without altering quality characteristics and organloletic properties of the biscuits.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma investigação bibliográfica acerca de como a avaliação educacional é contemplada nos Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos – PPCs de licenciaturas. O estudo caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, na perspectiva do Estado do Conhecimento. O recorte temporal compreende os anos entre 2009 a 2019, sendo o material bibliográfico coletado nas seguintes bases de dados: Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD); Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES; bibliotecas online de programas de pós-graduação em avaliação (educacional); Google e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Os resultados encontrados nos trabalhos inventariados revelam que a avaliação educacional aparece de forma pontual nos documentos de curso, como disciplina ou na ementa de outras disciplinas, mas não recebe atenção de forma aprofundada, enquanto transdisciplina. Destaca-se o abismo entre estar presente no PPC versus a prática de avaliação de docentes, pois não fica claro se estas são pautadas apenas na avaliação para verificação da aprendizagem ou na avaliação para promoção das aprendizagens.

Super-elasticity in vitro assessment of CuNiTi wires according to their Austenite finish temperature and the imposed displacement
Authors: Copelovici Noémie , Tran Maï-Linh , Lefebvre François , Laheurte Pascal , Wagner Delphine
Published: January 2022

Objectives

To assess the super-elasticity of CuNiTi wires (Ormco, Glendora, Calif) according to their Austenite finish temperature (Af) and to the imposed displacement. The secondary objective was to compare the wire dimensions with the stated measurements and to study interbatch variability.

Materials and Methods

10 types of CuNiTi wires (Ormco, Glendora, Calif) (n = 350) were investigated at 36 ± 1°C, with conventional brackets (Victory Series, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif). Tensile test with coronoapical displacement ranging from 1 to 5 mm of the canine bracket was imposed. The wire dimensions were initially measured from two batches (n = 10).

Results

Dimensional heterogeneity varied by ± 2.00% compared to the manufacturer's data, and even up to 5.54% for 0.014-inch CuNiTi (P = .00069). However, all unloading forces were reproducible. In decreasing order, the forces delivered by a CuNiTi 27 were greater than those with CuNiTi 35 and 40. The super-elasticity was expressed only for displacements of 1 to 2 mm, at best up to 3 mm for 0.014-inch CuNiTi 27.

Conclusions

The value of Af as well as the amount of imposed displacement seem to influence the expression of the super-elasticity of CuNiTi wires and the amount of corrected malocclusion. Among the tested wires, under these experimental conditions, 0.014-inch wire could be suitable as a first archwire. CuNiTi 35, therefore, seems to offer the best compromise among the force level, the expression of super-elasticity and the amount of malocclusion correction.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the previously unknown
long-term association between gut microbiome composition and incident type 2
diabetes in a representative population cohort.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We collected fecal samples
of 5 572 Finns (mean age 48.7 years, 54.1% women) in 2002 who were followed up
for incident type 2 diabetes until Dec 31st, 2017. The samples were
sequenced using shotgun metagenomics. We examined associations between gut
microbiome compositions and incident diabetes using multivariable-adjusted Cox
regression models. We first used the Eastern Finland sub-population to obtain
initial findings and validated these in the Western Finland sub-population.

RESULTS: Altogether 432 cases of incident
diabetes occurred over the median follow-up of 15.8 years. We detected 4
species and 2 clusters consistently associated with incident diabetes in the
validation models. These 4 species were Clostridium
citroniae (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.42), C. bolteae (HR, 1.20; 95%
CI, 1.04-1.39), Tyzzerella nexilis (HR,
1.17; 95% CI, 1.01-1.36), and Ruminococcus
gnavus (HR = 1.17; 95% CI, 1.01-1.36). The positively associated clusters,
cluster 1 (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.02-1.38) and cluster 5 (HR, 1.18; 95% CI,
1.02-1.36), mostly consisted of these same species.

CONCLUSIONS: We
observed robust species-level taxonomic features predictive of incident type 2
diabetes over a long-term follow-up. These findings build on and extend
previous mainly cross-sectional evidence and further support links between
dietary habits, metabolic diseases, and type 2 diabetes that are modulated by
the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome can potentially be used to improve the
disease prediction and to uncover novel therapeutic targets for diabetes.

Epigenetic regulation is an important factor in glucose
metabolism, but underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we
investigated epigenetic control of systemic metabolism by
bromodomain-containing proteins (Brds), which are transcriptional regulators
binding to acetylated histone, in both intestinal cells and mice treated with the
bromodomain inhibitor JQ-1. In vivo treatment with JQ-1 resulted in hyperglycemia
and severe glucose intolerance. Whole-body or tissue-specific insulin
sensitivity was not altered by JQ-1; however, JQ-1 treatment reduced insulin
secretion during both in vivo glucose tolerance testing and ex vivo
incubation of isolated islets. JQ-1 also inhibited expression of fibroblast
growth factor (FGF)15 in the ileum and decreased FGF receptor 4-related
signaling in the liver. These adverse metabolic effects of Brd4 inhibition were
fully reversed by in vivo overexpression of FGF19, with normalization of
hyperglycemia. At a cellular level, we demonstrate Brd4 binds to the promoter
region of FGF19 in human intestinal cells; Brd inhibition by JQ-1 reduces FGF19
promoter binding and downregulates FGF19 expression. Thus, we identify Brd4 as
a novel transcriptional regulator of intestinal FGF15/19 in ileum and FGF
signaling in the liver, and a contributor to the gut-liver axis and systemic
glucose metabolism.

This study identified risk factors for the development of dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in a large prospective daily practice cohort. Data from the Dutch BioDay Registry were used to assess the risk of developing dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease, by performing univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A total of 469 patients were included, of which 152/469 (32.4%) developed dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease. Multivariate analysis showed a statistically significant association of the development of dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease with a history of any eye disease (history of self-reported episodic acute allergic conjunctivitis excluded) combined with the use of ophthalmic medication at the start of dupilumab (odds ratio 5.16, 95% confidence interval 2.30–11.56, p < 0.001). In conclusion, a history of any eye disease (history of self-reported episodic acute allergic conjunctivitis excluded) combined with the use of ophthalmic medication at baseline was associated with the development of dupilumab-associated ocular surface disease in patients with atopic dermatitis.

Современная эпидемически нестабильная обстановка снижает чувство безопасности и защищенности каждого человека, а ситуация угрозы жизни становится все более привычной в мирной жизни. В этот социальный период увеличивается риск эмоционального истощения и снижения профессиональной активности медицинских работников. Значимость решения данной проблемы связана еще и с тем, что синдром эмоционального выгорания имеет сложную форму и трактуется неоднородно с точки зрения первопричин и конечного исхода.Статья посвящена изучению личностных ресурсов преодоления профессионального выгорания у медицинских работников в период пандемии COVID-19. Выявлены фазы и особенности профессионального выгорания у медицинских работников в период пандемии. Установлено, что умеренно выраженные показатели жизнестойкости могут выступать личностным ресурсом и фактором преодоления профессионального выгорания. Доказано, что врачи, обладающие жизнестойкостью как одним из личностных ресурсов, отличаются качествами, которые помогают адаптироваться и выстоять в сложных социальных ситуациях.

During the period of an epidemiologically unstable situation in the world, the risk of emotional exhaustion and a decrease in the professional activity among medical workers increases. The relevance and social significance of solving this problem is due to the fact that the burnout syndrome has a complex form and is interpreted heterogeneously from the point of view of root causes and final outcome. In this turn, it is necessary to find out some psychological means and methods. The purpose of the article is to explore a personal resource of overcoming a professional burnout by medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been proven that doctors who possess resilience as one of the personal resources are distinguished by personal qualities that can help to adapt and withstand difficult social situations. The personal resources to overcome the professional burnout by health workers are characterized such categories as dominance, expressiveness, high standard behavior, courage, practicality, diplomacy, nonconformism, high self-control and tension. The health workers sown in this sample are autonomous, independent, firm and resilient. Intransigence, independence and a certain amount of stubbornness can be personal resources to overcome professional burnout, as it reflects the active and independent position by employees. The features of professional burnout by medical workers during a pandemic have been identified. It is found, that a high level of resilience in the structure of personal resources is a factor in overcoming professional burnout among doctors.

The discussion in our study is about evaluating regional waste management policies and generation in South Tangerang City. In this policy, there are still many obstacles in the field, either performance or inadequate facilities. The achievement of policy objectives has not been optimal due to related parties to external factors, people who are less aware of waste management and the impact of waste hazards. This study aims to investigate the implementation of regional waste management and generation in South Tangerang City. The policy evaluation was analyzed from various aspects, namely: a) Effectiveness, policy evaluation is one of the important stages in the policy cycle. Policy evaluation is carried out after the public policy is implemented. This is to test the policies that have been made are successful or not. b) Efficiency, this is to show the best comparison between an activity and its results. This efficiency is a measure of success that is assessed in terms of human resources and costs to achieve the results of the policies implemented. c) Accuracy, to measure the extent to which a level of effectiveness satisfies a need, value, or opportunity to create a problem. d) Equity is a policy that is created and implemented which is oriented towards equity, meaning that it is a policy that is equitably distributed. e) Responsiveness, this criterion relates to how far a policy can satisfy the needs, preferences, or values ​​of certain groups. This criterion is very important because the analysis can satisfy other criteria. f) Accuracy, this criterion is closely related to rationality and substantive. Because the accuracy of the policy is not related to an individual criterion but two or more together. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Waste management has been regulated, but its implementation has not run optimally. Waste management efforts in South Tangerang City are not enough just to rely on the establishment of Waste Banks and the involvement of the community to participate in managing and also sorting out biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. In addition, the downstream waste problem will not be solved if the upstream does not implement the existing regulations. The government must conduct socialization to the community to sort organic and inorganic waste from home, sort waste from the generation and source areas, Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS) and Final Disposal Sites (TPA).

Developments in the realm of information technology continue to change every year. The existence of the internet makes it easier for everyone to find something through their electronic devices, especially cellphones or computers as a medium. Internet users in Indonesia in the latest report, the number of internet users in Indonesia reached 202 million or 73.7% of the total population of 274.9 million in January 2021.
Almost all of the Indonesian population uses internet facilities, this has become an infrastructure for the community to reach the internet network. This condition is an opportunity for new media in a public service process carried out by the Indonesian government.
The existence of the internet and mobile computing in public service activities which are identical to the use of paper has now become a new era, namely paperless being one of the efficiency of public service activities. Existing resources in e-government activities are not only related to facilities and infrastructure, but also human resources of state civil servants need to have the ability to operate an e-government system that has been designed in such a way.
The progress of implementing e-government in Indonesia is faced with several challenges and still has shortcomings. These challenges and shortcomings include an equitable internet network infrastructure, human resources to operate features and services, and community culture related to digital literacy. There is still a need for improvement in the implementation of e-government in Indonesia in order to achieve excellent public services for the community.
Iäkkäiden etäjumppa kunnissa koronapandemian aikaan
Authors: Iltanen Sonja , Topo Päivi
Published: January 2022

Etäjumppa tarjoaa kunnille uudenlaisen tavan järjestää iäkkäiden terveysliikuntaa ja iäkkäille ihmisille mahdollisuuden osallistua siihen. Artikkelimme tavoitteena on luoda kokonaiskuva siitä, miten koronapandemia vaikutti iäkkäiden etäjumpan toteutukseen eli implementaatioon. Tutkimuksessa seurataan vuosina 2019–2022 seitsemää kuntaa, jotka toteuttivat pilotteja aiemmassa kehittämishankkeessa. Aineisto kerättiin elisitaatiohaastatteluilla. Haastateltavina videopuheluissa oli 12 etäjumppaa toteuttanutta ammattilaista. Aineistosta etsittiin etäjumpan toteutukseen vaikuttavia tekijöitä koronapandemian aikaan. Implementaatiota tarkasteltiin hyväksyttävyyden, käyttöönoton, soveltuvuuden, käytettävyyden, pysyvyyden, kustannusten, leviämisen ja juurtumisen näkökulmista. Tulostemme mukaan koronan tuomat rajoitukset muuttivat organisaatioiden, etäjumpan toteuttajien ja etäjumppaajien toimintaa. Koronapandemia aiheutti merkittävän riskin iäkkäiden etäjumpan jatkumiselle, mutta toisaalta se vahvisti motivaatiota, osaamista ja laitekantaa, jotka edesauttavat etäjumpan järjestämistä jatkossa. Kriisi- tai muutostilanteessa toiminnan jatkuvuuteen näyttää olennaisesti vaikuttavan se, miten vahvasti toiminta on ehtinyt vakiintua osaksi kunnan toimintaa. Implementaatio on moniulotteinen ja jatkuvasti muuttuva prosessi, ja on tärkeää tutkia, miten sitä voidaan tukea.  
Online exercise for older adults in municipalities during the COVID-19 pandemic
Online exercise is a novel method for organizing health exercise for older adults, and for them to participate. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive view of how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the implementation of online exercise for older adults. This is a follow-up study (2019–2022) of seven municipalities that piloted online exercise for older adults in a previous development study. The data were gathered by videoconferencing applying elicitation interviews with professionals executing local online exercise (n=12). Factors affecting the implementation of online exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic were examined from perspectives of politics and policies, actions of organizations, executors and online exercisers, relation of technology and abilities, cultural views, and evaluation and knowledge. The outcomes of implementation were analyzed from the viewpoints of acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, cost, coverage, and sustainability. Our results suggest that the restriction due to the pandemic created a significant risk for the sustainability of online exercise, but also strengthened the motivation, skills and technological facilities – factors that support organizing online exercise in the future. Implementation is a multidimensional and constantly changing process and studying it from the viewpoints applied in this study may improve the comprehension of the process. It is necessary to identify ways of supporting successful implementation.
The New England Journal of Medicine: Images in Clinical Medicine: A Role Model Section for DTJournal
Authors: Tymofieiev Oleksii , Fernandes Rui
Published: January 2022

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) from a previous DTJournal’s editorial became for us a role model not only as a perfect example how the Editorial Fellowship1 should be organized but also motivate us to launch a new Section – Similar to Images in Clinical Medicine we are starting a Section Pics in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Advantages of that Section according to our opinion are: 1) one-page publication, 2) it includes short description (in average, 161 words) of clinical condition, treatment, follow-up (what reduces an author`s time), 3) have one, two, or three images, and, sometimes, a supplemental video, 4) images have no description below as they have in-text descriptions (what a brilliant idea from NEJM`s staff), 5) have no references (what increases as well the speed of article’s writing, decreases time and cost of lay-out), and 6) can be indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE similar to research and reports papers, etc. In conclusion, we are thrilled to introduce you a founding section`s editor Dr. Camilo Mosquera from Bogotá. Who`s made a strong impact in DTJournal with his Columbian colleagues presenting a delightful article dedicated to paragonimiasis.

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a unique, naturally and experimentally transmitted contagious venereal tumor of dogs which is commonly present in stray dogs exhibiting unrestrained sexual activity. The mutated and contagious tumor cell is the causative agent. This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic expression of TGF-β1 and IL-6 cytokines, T-cell response towards Concanavalin A and hematological and biochemical changes during the progression and regression of the CTVT. The signalment and clinical history of 12 client-owned TVT affected dogs were recorded. Tissue samples were obtained through biopsy, and blood samples were collected for diagnostic confirmation using reverse transcriptase PCR. The RT-PCR products from CTVT samples were further purified and sequenced. Regression of the tumor was performed using intravenous injections of vincristine sulphate at weekly intervals. Significant genetic expression of TGF-β1 was observed in the progressive phase of CTVT, whereas genetic expression of IL-6 was significant in the regressive phase of CTVT after chemotherapy. Cell-mediated immunity also plays an important role in the regression of canine transmissible venereal tumors. Notably, a significant (P<0.05) increase in the mean stimulation index of the lymphocyte stimulation test and hemoglobin level, non-significant (P>0.05) changes in the number of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils, and slight hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia were observed after chemotherapy with vincristine sulphate in CTVT affected animals. Overall, our results delineate the critical roles of T cells, TGF-β1 and IL-6 in triggering the progression and regression of CTVT, which can be promising in developing potential immunotherapy against CTVT.

Midazolam, the most commonly used drug in birds, has sedative, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, amnestic, and appetite-enhancing effects. In this study, we aimed to reach the proper sedation level with intranasal (IN) administration of midazolam, and quick and safe recovery with intranasal flumazenil application after a certain period of time. The buzzards in the experiment reached the desired and controllable sedation at 6.7 ± 1.6 min after administration of IN midazolam at a dose of 2 mg / kg of body weight. In the saline group (%0.9 NaCl), the doses of midazolam and flumazenil calculated according to their weight were administered intranasally as 0.9% NaCl. The heart rate was 290.4 ± 17.81 and 294.8 ± 18.19 beats/min in the midazolam group, and 300.8 ± 17.76 beats/min in the saline group. Cloacal temperature was 41.42 ± 07, 41.39 ± 0.85 °C in the midazolam group and 41.6 ± 0.45 °C in the saline group. The respiratory rate was 48.8 ± 4.5, 47.1 ± 4.3 breaths/min in the midazolam group and 54.6 ± 2.7 breaths/min in the saline group. Flumazenil was used as an antagonist at 0.05 mg/kg intranasally, and after 14.1 ± 1.8 minutes the sedation effect disappeared. Then the buzzards returned to their standard behavior. In conclusion, we suggest IN use of midazolam and use of flumazenil for faster recovery in buzzards as a simple, fast, practical, and economical mode of sedation for minimally invasive procedures.

The aim of this study was to analyse the non-genetic factors influencing the birth weight of Romanov lambs, and to determine which of them may be a useful source of information in the selection of female lambs for replacement. The study included 1712 lambs born in the period from 2016 to 2019. The linear model used in birth weight estimation included: birth type, sex, parity, year of birth, season of birth, and breeding group as fixed factors. Year of birth x season of birth interaction was also included in the model. All factors, except the season of birth, significantly affected birth weight (P<0.05). Birth weight decreased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing birth type and singles, twins, triplets and quadruplets weighing 4.11 ± 0.07, 3.56 ± 0.05, 3.07 ± 0.05 and 2.66 ± 0.08 kg, respectively. Male lambs (3.44 ± 0.05 kg) were significantly (P<0.05) heavier than female lambs (3.25 ± 0.05 kg). The lightest lambs (2.99 ± 0.05 kg) were born in the first litter, after which the birth weight gradually increased up to the sixth litter (3.54 ± 0.10 kg). Litter weight showed a nonlinear increase with an increase in birth type (P<0.05). The birth weight of female lambs from litters of twins and triplets with different ratios of male and female lambs did not differ significantly (P>0.05). Variations in birth weight are influenced by non-genetic factors, with birth type, sex, and parity being the most important. These factors should be considered in breeding and selection programs for lamb meat production, where fertility and growth traits have the key role.

A political ecology of jurisdictional REDD+: investigating social-environmentalism, climate change mitigation, and environmental (in)justice in the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: Santos Rocha da Silva Marcelo , Correia Joel Edward
Published: January 2022

This article contributes to political ecologies of forest-based climate change mitigation strategies by assessing Brazil's first sub-national jurisdictional REDD+ program. Proponents of jurisdictional REDD+ argue that the approach brings more social and environmental benefits than small-scale REDD+ projects and addresses negative socio-economic impacts of deforestation pressures on forest-dependent communities. Our analysis tells a different story. We assess Acre's sub-national jurisdictional (SNJ) program to show that reworking the scale of REDD+ is not only key to its persistence and stabilization, but also that implementation politics often further environmental injustice. We draw qualitative field research in the state of Acre into conversation with a critical analysis of SISA and the ISA Carbono program implementation. Our findings illustrate two interwoven points vital to political ecologies of REDD+. First, the social-environmental ambitions of Acre's SNJ REDD+ program were strongly influenced by the political ecologies of popular movements and a history of state-led environmental governance initiatives. Second, Acre's SNJ REDD+ has not met several of its social-environmental goals like bolstering forest-dependent peoples' rights or equitably distributing program benefits across sectors, despite operating most extensively on the lands of forest-dependent communities. Consequently, we argue that Acre's SNJ REDD+ track record has reinforced rather than alleviated injustice against Indigenous peoples and traditional forest extractivist communities.

Published: January 2022

This study investigated the influence of loci of content and function words on stuttering frequency in the speech of Arabic children who stutter. Participants were 85 children who stutter (24 preschool, 61 school age). The preschool children who stutter were 17 males and 7 females with a mean age of 4.58 ± 0.50 (range: 4-5 years old). The school age children who stutter were 56 males and 5 females with a mean age of 10.64 ± 2.76 (range: 6-16 years old). No significant difference was found between the preschool and school age children who stutter in the mean percentage of stuttering on both content and function words. For school age children who stutter, results showed a significantly higher percentage of stuttering on function words compared to content words in the mild level of stuttering (p = .010). Taking severity as a continuous variable, results indicated a significant positive correlation between scores on the Stuttering Severity Instrument-4 (SSI-4) and loci of stuttering on both content and function words. The results also revealed a significant negative correlation between age (as a continuous variable) and loci of stuttering in the category of function words. The findings of the current study provide new information about the impact of word type (function vs. content words) on stuttering in Arabic-speaking children.
