Published: January 2023

22q11 Syndrome is one of the so-called rare diseases. This syndrome is characterized by certain physical alterations. However, its manifestations also occur in other areas. At the linguistic level, there is mainly an alteration in the production of language. In the educational area, the manifestations of the syndrome cause learning difficulties that will also vary depending on the cognitive level. All these characteristics, of course, have repercussions at the psycho-emotional level, with a greater tendency to the presence of mental disorders. This article aims to highlight which are the most important characteristics of this type of population and propose possible suggestions for intervention in order to minimize these problems. In addition, a series of recommendations are included to improve intervention at all levels and to improve the quality of life of people with 22q11 Syndrome.

Published: January 2023

The development of sense of belonging and generic skills may be considered important to succeed in higher education and in life and may be enhanced through student group work. For group work to succeed, Social Interdependence Theory and Cooperative Learning suggest that group members need to be positively interdependent. In the present study we conducted a cross-sectional survey in a sample of 401 students in undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education in Norway mapping the students’ perceptions of cooperative learning, sense of belonging and generic skills. By means of Pearson bivariate correlation analyses and standard multiple regression analyses, we found that 1) Cooperative Learning was positively associated with the development of both sense of belonging and generic skills, 2) Sense of belonging and generic skills were positively interrelated, and 3) Interaction was the cooperative learning principle contributing most to the association with both sense of belonging and generic skills.

Authors: raygani Ali Akbar Vaisi , Darabi Muhammad , Jalali Rostam , Beiki Omid , Abdi Alireza
Published: January 2023

Background: Some measures have been proposed for the prediction of death after trauma; however, there is a lack of studies on this issue in trauma patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the validity of four scales in predicting the death of trauma patients, and we hypothesized that the accuracies of various scales are different.

Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted prospectively on 600 trauma patients admitted at the emergency ward of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, Ilam province, west of Iran. The subjects were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using the checklists developed for trauma patients, including the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS), and then the data were analyzed using the chi-square test and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results: Among the 600 patients, most of them were male (76.8%), with a mean and standard deviation of the age of 31.16 ± 18.06 years, and road traffic accident was the most common cause of trauma (73%). The FOUR scale was the most valid in predicting the mortality of trauma patients, and its sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy were equal to 93.2, 94.5, 64.7, 99.2, and 94.3%, respectively. The AUC was equal to 0.938 for the FOUR scale, followed by the RTS (0.787).

Conclusion: Results of the study about the predictive value of the scales for mortality prediction of trauma patients showed that the FOUR scale had the highest accuracy compared to other scales. Thus, for applying this scale in trauma and emergency centers, besides our results, further studies are needed to support the study findings.

A microbiological examination of the soils, polluted with different types of urban wastewater (Tashkent city), aiming determination of the microbial diversity and characterization of the bacterial community was carried out. The examination was conducted with use of classical microbiological methods with cultivation of samples on elective nutrient media. The soil sampling was carried out during winter season and period of plants’ vegetation. As result of examination the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the bacterial community were determined and the microbial diversity was established. The predominant microorganisms of this community, capable to active functioning at chloride concentrations of the environment for up to 10 % and possessing high remediation potential towards biological and chemical pollutants, have been isolated. Rare strains belonging to the genus Amycolatopsis, which, in contrast to typical representatives of this genus, have the ability to form a water-soluble blue pigment, have been isolated. It was established that typical representatives of microbial biota, such as heterotrophic microorganisms Bacillus, Pseudomonas and actinomycetes, possess significant remediation potential towards biological and chemical pollution. It was determined that pollution of the soil caused by anthropogenic factors at the end of the day leads to decrease in species diversity and changes in composition of the soil microbiocenosis. The results obtained convincingly testify perspectives of biomonitoring and possible use of microorganisms in the processes of soil rehabilitation. The introduction of pollutant-resistant microorganisms, which are capable to degrade them, may become a practical approach for soil cleansing in the future.

Fruit flies (Bactrocera spp.) are regarded as serious insect pests of fruits and vegetables in the world. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of spinosad traps on Bactrocera spp. at different heights 0, 1, 2, and 3 m on jujube tree during 2020-2021. Flies’ populations were counted weekly. The results revealed that the highest population of B. zonata (225.6 flies) were recorded at 2 m height on (22 October, 2020) and the lowest ones (21.6 flies) were recorded at the ground level (0 m height) during (4 February, 2021). However, the overall maximum catches were 158.95 at 2 m height and minimum was 68.72 at the ground level. Similarly, the maximum population of B. dorsalis was (50.5 flies) at 2 m height during (9 October, 2020), but the minimum (2.5 flies) was in the ground level during (4 February, 2021). The overall highest B. dorsalis catches were (43.50 flies) at 2 m height and the lowest was (3.55 flies) at ground level. The population of B. zonata correlated positively (r= 0.2939**) with temperature, but negatively (r= -0.0223NS) with relative humidity. However, B. dorsalis populations was positive correlated with both of the temperature and relative humidity (r= 0.0261** and r= 0.0091NS, respectively). Ultimately, pheromone traps (Spinosad+Methyl eugenol) at 2 m height are highly recommended to catches both fruit flies (B. zonata and B. dorsalis) in Jujube Orchards.

Published: January 2023

Статья посвящена анализу специфики перевода метафорических конструкций и выполнена на основе анализа метафор в романах известного писателя Фрэнсиса Скотта Фицджеральда. Отмечается, что метафоры нередко несут в себе довольно глубокий смысл, который бывает трудно понять представителям другой культуры, отличной от культуры того языка, на котором написано само произведение. В статье представлены шесть самых распространённых способов перевода метафор. Каждый из способов обоснован примером из того или иного произведения автора. Уделяется внимание важным аспектам при переводе метафор, которыми являются: сохранение смысла метафоры, сохранение ее стилистической окраски и сохранение эмоционального эффекта, который она производит на читателя

Revolución, sangre y lucha. Los primeros mártires del Partido Socialista de Chile en la época de las milicias (1933-1937)
Authors: Venegas Caro Diego Esteban
Published: January 2023

La proliferación de grupos milicianos durante la década de los treinta en Chile fue parte, entre otras explicaciones, de la crisis política del post-ibañismo, que llevó a diversos sectores políticos a formar sus propios grupos milicianos que se enfrentaron cotidianamente en las calles de Chile, en la disputa por el espacio público y la defensa del partido e ideales representados. Desde la historiografía actual los estudios sobre violencia política han profundizado, tanto en Chile como en Europa, el análisis sobre las expresiones horizontales de dicha violencia, más que los conflictos entre el Estado y sociedad civil. Es así como en este artículo se abordarán los enfrentamientos milicianos, específicamente los que fueron considerados los primeros mártires del Partido Socialista de Chile, y cómo las colectividades abordaron estas muertes dentro de su prensa partidaria, durante el ciclo 1933-1937, en donde el conflicto miliciano se expresó principalmente antes de decaer en Chile.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Adenotonsillectomy is one of the common surgeries specifically performed in children. The major complication of this surgery is post-surgery pains. The present study compared the effect of acetaminophen and licorice-based traditional medicine for the alleviation pain in patients with adenotonsillectomy. Materials and Method: This single-blinded pilot clinical trial study was carried on 3–15-year-old patients who had undergone tonsillectomy. After the surgery patients of both groups received 10 mg/kg syrup of acetaminophen every six hours for 24 hours. In addition, in the patients of the experimental group, licorice lozenges (with doses of 1000 mg) were administered.  Wong-Baker’s Faces Pain Scale was used to measure the level of pains. Results: A total of 40 patients were assessed. Friedman test demonstrated that the mean pain of the two groups showed significant reduction (p=0.001). Also, the Mann-Whitney-U test revealed that the mean pain severity in the licorice-receiving group in 6 (p=0.056), 12 (p=0.02) and 18 (p=0.006) hours after the surgery significantly decreased compared to that of the control group. Conclusion: The level of pain reduction after adenotonsillectomy in the licorice group was significantly higher than that in the control group.

Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) generally colonizes in the colon of hospitalized patients who receive antibiotics for a long time. C. difficile expresses its virulence factors which are associated with pathogenesis. Naturally, the expression of these virulence factors may be influenced by antibiotics. The effect of antibiotics at the sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on virulence factors has been investigated and it is varied and depends on the type of antibiotic and C. difficile isolate. Some of the antibiotics at sub-MIC upregulate virulence factors, while others downregulate. Meanwhile, some antibiotics have no detectable effects on the regulation of virulence factors. Nearly, all investigations have surveyed a few numbers of C. difficile isolates in terms the expression of virulence factors at sub-MIC. Most of the antibiotics at sub-MICs regulate gene expression of virulence factors, toxin production, spore formation, and germination by several mechanisms especially the SOS response system. However, to achieve a clear understanding of the effect of antibiotics at sub-MIC on the expression of genes of virulence factors, which are related to the pathogenesis of C. difficile, further and wider investigations are needed, especially on the issue of the numbers of isolates that have been discussed in the present review article.

Authors: Wanniarachchi Piyumi Chathurangi , Abeysundara Piumi De Abrew
Published: January 2023

Worldwide there are lack of studies demonstrating the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) about food safety and hygiene, among school children. Thus, this systematic review is an attempt to summarize the findings in previous literature about food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices among school children, in a specific time period, to get an overview of the topic. This review was performed according to PRISMA protocol. Three main international databases (Google Scholar, PubMed and Scopus) were used for the search of the articles, and only the journal articles published from 2010 to 2020 were considered. Of the 102 articles referred, only 10 original research studies were selected based on the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. Only 2 out of 10 studies pointedout significant correlations between the school children’s food safety knowledge, practices and attitudes. In addition, 1 out of 10 studies demonstrated significant associations between common demographics (academic performance of the children, the type of school, the area of residence, the habit of smoking and alcohol consumption and the educational background of the parents) and food safety knowledge among children. Furthermore, 8 out of 10 studies reported students to possess a poor or average knowledge of food safety while the rest of the studies showed students to possess good knowledge regarding food safety. Only 3 out of 10 studiesrevealed students to be engaged in safe food handling practices. It can be concluded that the assessment of food safety knowledge, attitude and practice as the most productive initiative to comprehend food safety-related insights among school children. Furthermore, this review highlights the fundamental requirement to improve children’s food safety knowledge and practices through proper education.

This research adapts basic technologies to develop a method for determining motorcycle velocity that may be used as evidence against those who exceed the speed limit in areas lacking speed detection devices. The speed was measured on Samsen roads in Bangkok, at Google Earth locations (1346'33.51"N 10030'25.96"E). The speeds of 40, 60, and 80 kilometers per hour were measured and recorded using two smartphones and placed in points A and B in two reference locations. The videos were then converted to image files to count the number of frames and time traveled on the motorcycle and estimate the movement speed. The measurement results showed that the values were not significantly different from those obtained from google earth at the significance level of 0.05. Thedata was analyzed by excel (t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances).

Bacteria-derived substances have attracted interest as biopreservative to respond to health conscious demand of consumers. In order to enhance biosafety quality from a farm to fork cycle of traditional seafood products, bacteriological assessment during multiple steps related to preparation of dried, seasoned and crushed squids was conducted. Total viable counts (TVC) in the ranges of 102 - 103 CFU/g were observed across a series of thepreparation from rinsing to 2nd sun-dry phases. Homemade seasoning sauce composed mainly of Thai spices and flavoring was the common source of spoilage bacteria supported by the highest TVC population and diversity. Three bacterial genera belonging to Bacillus, Kocuria and Staphylococcus existed predominantly in the prepared squids. In the subsequent phase of study, antibacterial potential, and mode of action of a semi-purified solution containing bacteriocin from B. velezensis BUU004 (SPS-BV) against pathogenic B. cereus were investigated. The SPS-BV (800 AU/mL) exhibited strong bactericidal activity towards B. cereus through cell lysis. Lastly, biopreservative potential of the SPS-BV was evaluated in the post-prepared dried squids during 28-day storage atroom temperature. The SPS-BV was as effective as commercial nisin for controlling food spoilage bacteria along with significant reductions in moisture content and aw of dried squids during storage. This study confirms the biopreservative potential of the SPS-BV in dried seafood products in Thailand.

The performance of cement mortar can be improved with additives based on waste by-products. Synthetic zeolite polymer composites (referred as SZPC) produced from the combination of solid waste ashes with a selective acrylic compound was used as a cement mortar additive. The effect of SZPC as an additive on hydration reaction of ordinary Portland cement (referred as OPC) at different amounts of SZPC, from 1-4% of OPC weight, as well as microstructure and mechanical behavior of the cement mortar are determined. The results from the hydration reaction rate test showed that the optimum amount of SZPC as the additive was 2% of OPC weight. Compressive strength and flexural strength of the cement mortar after 1, 7, 14 and 28 days of curing increased, with the largestincreases at the early stage. Additions of SZPC, synthesized by a waste by-product, improved mechanical behavior of cement mortars supporting sustainable development and the circular economy.

Sakarin dan siklamat merupakan pemanis yang sering digunakan oleh industri rumahan, karena harganya relatif murah dan dapat memberikan rasa manis yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan pemanis alami. Air tahu merupakan salah satu industri rumahan yang terbuat dari hasil ekstraksi kedelai yang memiliki rasa tidak manis sehingga pemanis buatan ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan cita rasa. Namun, pemakaian pemanis secara berlebih dapat menyebabkan efek samping yakni mengganggu sistem pencernaan, sakit kepala, migrain, tremor, diare, kehilangan daya ingat, kanker kandung kemih, pengecilan testicular dan kerusakan kromosom. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi sakarin dan siklamat pada air tahu.  Jenis penelitian observasi laboratorik sebanyak 5 sampel menggunakan metode uji warna untuk sakarin dan metode pengendapan untuk siklamat. Dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan terhadap 5 sampel diperoleh sampel positif mengandung siklamat ditandai adanya endapan putih seperti pada kontrol positif dan negatif mengandung sakarin yang ditandai dengan tidak terjadinya perubahan warna hijau flouresens. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa dari 5 sampel air tahu yang digunakan diperoleh 5 sampel yang mengandung siklamat dan 5 sampel tidak mengandung sakarin.

Published: January 2023

Comparados con los suelos naturales zonales (tierras parda y amarilla), los suelos de la ciudad de Sochi situada en la costa Rusa del Mar Negro tienen propiedades ácidas alcalinas transformadas; se ve un contenido adicional de humus en los suelos del tipo abrozemo. El pH del agua cambia de 5,8 a 7,5 (valores medios para los horizontes genéticos de suelos); la saturación con álcalis en los horizontes superior y metamórfico estructural BM (árgico) aumentó por casi treinta (de 72,9 a 97,7 %) y cincuenta (de 64,8 a 97,3 %) por ciento. Los abrazemos tienen un contenido del humus dos veces más bajo en comparación con los suelos de fondo. La evaluación del contenido en suelos de diferentes paisajes de Sochi de una amplia gama de elementos químicos (61) que son excesivos y deficientes en relación con el fondo ha demostrado lo siguiente: La contaminación del suelo se debe principalmente a su enriquecimiento con elementos de los horizontes medios del suelo y rocas madre subyacentes que pueden ingresar a los horizontes superiores durante los trabajos de excavación y el relleno de sitios de construcción y carreteras con suelo local. La excepción es el Ca que entra el suelo por medio del tecnogénesis urbano. En el transcurso del monitoreo de suelos urbanos hay que controlar el contenido de Ca, Cu, Ni, Mg, Mn, Cd, K y también el contenido de Cs, Ga, Be, Rb, V, Fe, Li, Al y de nueve elementos de tierras raras (ETR) (Dy, Tb, Sm, Ho, Eu, Gd, Sc, Y, Er) en paisajes urbanos subordinados. El índice total de contaminación de los suelos en la ciudad no es alto y tiene un valor admisible (Zc>16) en las pendientes, encaja en una categoría de peligro ligero (Zc=16−32) en la superficie plana adyacente a la pendiente y en una categoría de peligro alto (Zc<32) en la zona litoral del territorio de los sanatorios.

One of the major tasks of monitoring oil production well operations is to determine bottom-hole flowing pressure (BHFP). The overwhelming majority of wells in the Perm krai are serviced using borehole pumps, which makes it difficult to take direct bottom-hole flowing pressure measurements. The BHFP in these wells is very often determined by recalculating the parameters measured at the well mouth (annulus pressure, dynamic fluid level depth). The recalculation is done by procedures based on analytically determining the characteristics of the gas-liquid mixture in the wellbore, which is very inconsistent to perform due to the mixture’s complex behavior. This article proposes an essentially different approach to BHFP measurements, that relies on the mathematical processing of the findings of more than 4000 parallel mouth and deep investigations of the oil production wells of a large oil-production region. As a result, multivariate mathematical models are elaborated that allow reliably determining the BHFP of oil-production wells in operation.

La contaminación atmosférica es un problema relevante en la actualidad debido al riesgo que representa para los entornos urbanos. Las altas concentraciones de partículas PM2,5 son sumamente dañinas para la salud humana y generan altos índices de mortalidad en la población más vulnerable. El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar la dinámica de las partículas PM2,5 en las zonas norte, sur, oriente, poniente y centro de la Ciudad de México mediante análisis fractal y de rugosidad cinética dentro del marco de la sistémica para hallar patrones emergentes (a diferentes escalas de tiempo-espacio), para modelar los aspectos relevantes para la toma de decisiones en materia de política ambiental y estrategias de control.

Los resultados muestran que los niveles de PM2,5 se ajustan a diferentes distribuciones, y que las series de tiempo de desviaciones estándar, muestran comportamientos persistentes a medida que se alarga el horizonte de tiempo. Las proyecciones que utilizan el análisis fractal dinámico permiten conocer la respuesta que puede tener el sistema en un horizonte temporal. En conclusión, los niveles de concentración de PM2,5 varían en cada país o región y dependen de innumerables factores que satisfacen la dinámica de escalado Family-Vicsek ansatz.
