Poradnik proboszcza unickiego z końca XVIII w.
Authors: Szykuła-Żygawska Agnieszka
Published: December 2023

W Archiwum Państwowym w Zamościu znajduje się Księga protokołów Parafii unickiej w Wieprzcu prowadzona w latach 1781-1806. Wg karty tytułowej LIBER PROTHOCULOR. Factus Aô Domiňi 1781 D. 8Va Februariji VS Per me Andream Ratkiewicz Parochum Wieprzsansem. W roku założenia księgi, parafia p.w. św. Praksedy w Wieprzcu należała do dekanatu szczebrzeszyńskiego chełmskiej diecezji unickiej. W tym czasie, stosunkowo stabilną ogólną sytuację Kościoła unickiej diecezji chełmskiej przerwał pierwszy rozbiór Polski. Zmieniono granice, które były rezultatem umów porozbiorowych między Rzeczypospolitą a państwami zaborczymi, nie respektującymi dotychczasowych podziałów administracji kościelnej i państwowej. W wyniku postanowień w zaborze austriackim znalazła się południowa część diecezji chełmskiej – 17 dekanatów (bełski, buski, potylicki, sokalski, stojanowski, strzemielecki, szczurowski, tartakowski, tomaszowski, uhnowski, waręski, grabowiecki i tyszowiecki oraz części horodelskiego, hrubieszowskiego, szczebrzeszyńskiego i zamojskiego). Pozostała część unickiej diecezji chełmskiej nadal należała do Rzeczypospolitej. Parafia p. w. św. Praksedy w Wieprzcu znalazła się w części dekanatu szczebrzeszyńskiego, włączonego do zaboru austriackiego. W następnych latach władze zaborcze dokonały kolejnych podziałów redukując dotychczasowe dekanaty i powołując w ich miejsce większe. W konsekwencji tych decyzji parafia w Wieprzcu znalazła się w dekanacie dubieneckim.

Algunas reflexiones sobre la configuración de las pedagogías comunitarias en Oaxaca, México
Authors:   Universidad La Salle Oaxaca, Maldonado Ramírez Carlos Luis
Published: December 2023

Desde finales del siglo xx el estado de Oaxaca se ha caracterizado por gene-rar proyectos de educación alternativa dirigidos a atender la diversidad cultural presente en la entidad no sólo a través de programas compensatorios, sino también promoviendo iniciativas que son parte del sistema educativo estatal dentro de la llamada educación oficial. Estas iniciativas encuentran en la co-munalidad su sustento filosófico y epistemológico, cuya principal característica radica en disputar al Estado la función social de la escuela en contextos origi-narios, empleando un modelo educativo que tiene entre sus premisas la resig-nificación de los roles desempeñados por el docente y los estudiantes, así como la visibilización, análisis y reflexión en torno a los conocimientos locales utili-zando la investigación como método pedagógico, el uso de la lengua originaria como canal de comunicación-reflexión, además del vínculo escuela-comunidad, percibiendo a este último como fuente generadora de conocimiento.

Authors: Carrillo Varguez Luis Hernán , Serrano-Medina Aracely , López Maldonado Eduardo Alberto , Rodríguez Velázquez Eustolia , Cornejo-Bravo José Manuel
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The purpose of this review is to address the most commonly used techniques for evaluating smear layer removal ability or chelating capacity of root canal irrigants, including Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS or EDX), Atomic Absorption Flame Spectrometry (AASF), wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF), inductive coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted in the Pub Med / MEDLINE database of indexed journals from 1992 to 2020. The search terms included chelating, chelation, calcium chelation, smear layer, smear layer removal, and demineralizing effect. Results: All the techniques were classified in terms of their results, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Even though smear layer removal and chelating capacity are not the same parameters, most of the studies included both techniques to correlate their results. SEM is the most commonly used technique for evaluating smear layer removal using various root canal irrigants. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (17%) was the most widely studied root canal irrigant. Conclusion: Different techniques can be used to evaluate smear layer removal and chelating capacity of root canal irrigants. All of these methods have their corresponding advantages and disadvantages. This study aimed to provide researchers with a background for the selection of technique(s) to study the irrigant´s capacity for calcium chelation, which is applicable to smear layer removal.

Published: December 2023

A documentary research was conducted to determine the relationship between methamphetamine abstinence time and cognitive performance in methamphetamine users. The purpose of this study is to know the existing difference between methamphetamine abstinence time and cognitive performance in a methamphetamine user population. The findings suggest significant differences in cognitive performance in methamphetamine withdrawal users compared to non-users. Particularly, a weakening of the prefrontal regions in charge of executive functions and a memory deficit correlated with dopamine deficits were observed. As for the altered functions, despite the heterogeneity of the results, we see that there is a low performance in inhibitory control, speed of execution and information processing. In addition to these deficits, there is also a problem in impulse control and social cognition.

Creative Accounting versus Aggressive Accounting – Exploring Specific Dimensions
Authors: MOSKWA-BĘCZKOWSKA Daria , RECZYŃSKA Julia
Published: December 2023

In business practice, there is a statement that creative accounting refers to actions within the scope of accounting law that are legally prohibited. In other words, it encompasses all bookkeeping activities that distort the financial and asset situation of an economic entity. This, therefore, contradicts the principle of a true and fair view mandated by the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994, which requires entities to present their financial results in accordance with their actual state. However, in the literature on the subject, these actions are not designated as creative accounting but as aggressive accounting. Furthermore, creative accounting is presented as a positive phenomenon in accounting systems. Hence, the diversity of interpretations of these terms in both the literature and business practice has become a basis for their systematization. The aim of this article is a comparative analysis of creative accounting and aggressive accounting, as well as presenting the results of original survey research regarding the knowledge and correct interpretation of these terms within the accounting community. Copyright© 2023 The Author(s).

Electrospun Fibers with Lactobacillus Acidophilus: A Potential In Vitro Solution Against Gardnerella Infections
Authors: Khilonawala Fatima , Ali Amjaad , AL-Shaheen Mustafa
Published: December 2023

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a prevalent condition, impacting a third of women globally. It’s marked by reduced healthy lactobacilli and increased growth of certain anaerobes like Gardnerella. Even though antibiotics can be taken orally or applied vaginally to treat BV, about 50% of the patients will have the condition return in less than 6 months. High concentrations of Lactobacillus acidophilus have been linked to health benefits. Given the recurrence rates after treating BV, there’s growing interest in using beneficial bacteria either as an alternative or as a supplementary treatment. This research wanted to demonstrate the potential for a new long-lasting delivery method for L. acidophilus. Results indicated that polyethylene oxide (PEO) fibers containing L. acidophilus can be combined with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) fibers in a 1:1 ratio. This structure subsequently releases L. acidophilus, which remains metabolically active, produces lactic acid, and can counteract Gardnerella. When these probiotic-rich fibers were consistently cultured in MRS broth and refreshed daily, they continued to produce active L. acidophilus for up to a week. The amount of lactic acid and associated pH measurements reflected the concentration of L. acidophilus from the fibers, underscoring their metabolic activity. In lab tests with vaginal cell cultures, the L. acidophilus fibers hindered Gardnerella growth in proportion to their dilution, showcasing their bacteria-killing capability. Introducing VK2/E6E7 cells to these L. acidophilus fibers showed only a slight reduction in cell viability compared to cells that weren’t treated. In summary, the findings highlight the potential of using electrospun fibers as a viable means to administer vaginal probiotics in a durable format.
Extracellular Vesicles as Promising Vectors for CRISPR/Cas9 Delivery: Advantages, Challenges, and Clinical Implications
Authors: Siraj Nameera , Dilfy Saja , Abduljaleel Rafat
Published: December 2023

The CRISPR/Cas system, with its capacity to modify DNA sequences and thus change cellular and organ traits, holds promise for gene study and therapeutic interventions. However, the absence of reliable and efficient delivery mechanisms curtails its clinical usage. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) present an appealing avenue for transporting CRISPR/Cas9. They offer multiple benefits over other delivery vehicles, especially in safety, protection, carrying capacity, tissue penetration, targeting precision, and adaptability. As a result, there’s a growing trend in employing EVs for in vivo delivery of CRISPR/Cas9. This article provides an overview of the strengths and weaknesses associated with various CRISPR/Cas9 delivery mechanisms and vehicles. It underscores the unique attributes of EVs as carriers, delving into their inherent features, physiological and pathological roles, safety profile, and targeting proficiency. The piece also delves into the origins of EVs, methods for their isolation, and techniques for packing CRISPR/Cas9 within them. In its conclusion, the article charts a path forward, emphasizing the pivotal areas of focus for optimizing EVs as carriers in CRISPR/Cas9’s clinical utilization, namely the safety, storage potential, uniformity, production rate, and precise targeting of EVs.
Nanocarriers and Beyond: Innovations in Overcoming Barriers for Effective CNS Drug Delivery
Authors: Al-Hamadiny Shahad , Salman Rasha , Al-Rawe Ali
Published: December 2023

Although numerous medications have the potential to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders, only a small number of these drugs have actually been used successfully. It is as a result of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSF) preventing them from exerting biological activity by allowing them to cross the brain. The current methods for enhancing penetration across these barriers for efficient CNS medication delivery are reviewed in this article. Direct systemic delivery, invasive delivery, BBB disruption, and convection enhanced delivery are a summary of these problems. Additionally, cutting-edge nanoscale drug delivery methods such polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, nanoemulsions, dendrimers, and micelles are explored. These nanocarriers might lead to a development in the treatment of numerous CNS illnesses. To evaluate the biocompatibility and safety of these medical devices, however, further extensive research is required.
lncRNA VLDLR-AS1 Gene Expression in Colorectal Cancer in Patients from East Azerbaijan Province, Iran
Authors: Moqadami Amin , Ahmadi Alireza , Khalaj-Kondori Mohammad
Published: December 2023

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer that frequently spreads to other parts of the body, with a low chance of recovery and a high mortality rate. Long non-coding RNAs are considered significant prognostic and diagnostic indicators because they are dysregulated in various cancers and have distinctive expression patterns and high tissue- and cell-specificity. VLDLR-AS1 lncRNA deregulation has been associated with several malignancies. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the expression levels of VLDLR-AS1 in CRC. It was the first time this assessment was conducted. Methods: We studied 188 samples, including 94 tumor samples and 94 paired adjacent non-tumor tissues. Total RNA was extracted, and its quantity and purity were assessed. TaKaRa PrimeScript 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Kusatsu, Japan) was used for the reaction. The StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) was set up to assess the relative expression of VLDLR-AS1. Results: According to the qRT-PCR data, the VLDLR-AS1 expression levels in CRC tissues were significantly lower than in tumor margins (P < 0.0001). In addition, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that VLDLR-AS1 expression can discriminate between tumor and non-tumor samples with the sensitivity and specificity of 72.34% and 51.06%, respectively (P = 0.03, AUC = 0.6274). However, no significant association was found between the expression levels of VLDLR-AS1 and clinicopathological features in CRC patients. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that VLDLR-AS1 lncRNA is significantly downregulated in the tumor tissues of CRC patients compared to healthy tumor margin tissues. This evidence shows the potential of this gene as a promising biomarker for the early detection of CRC development.

Authors: Ebrahimi Marzieh , Ansari Jaberi Ali , Negahban Bonabi Tayebeh
Published: December 2023

Background: Fears about the future and uncertainty in multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect the patients’ adaptation and well-being. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of collaborative care on the fear of disease progression in MS patients. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, patients and their main caregivers were assigned into study groups (36 in the intervention and 43 in the control group) by randomized minimization method. For the intervention group, the collaborative care model was implemented in seven sessions over nine weeks. The data were collected using the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FOP Q-SF). Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk, chi-square, Fisher Exact, independent, and paired t-tests. Results: A near-significant difference was found between the groups after the intervention (P = 0.051). However, in intragroup comparisons, the FOP score significantly decreased in the intervention group (P = 0.001) and increased in the control group after the intervention (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Collaborative care could potentially be an effective strategy for managing FOP in patients with MS.

Authors: Shakeri Zahra , Farid Malihe , Akbari Kamrani Mahnaz
Published: December 2023

Background: Despite a lower teenage pregnancy rate in Iran compared to the global average, there is an anticipation of increased teenage pregnancy rates by 2025 due to changes in population policy programs. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the challenges faced during the transition to motherhood and the quality of infant care between adolescent mothers and young mothers in Karaj, Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2020, involving 160 adolescent and young mothers selected through multistage sampling in Karaj, Iran. The data were collected using demographic characteristics, a modified questionnaire assessing the challenges of the transition to parenthood, and an infant care checklist. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation (SD), were reported. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The study showed no significant differences between adolescent and young mothers in terms of mean scores related to the challenges of the transition to parenthood, such as responsibility and commitment, pleasure and satisfaction, fondness and stability, and self-commitment (P ≥ 0.05). However, significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in the total score of infant care (33.07 ± 2.77 and 34.57 ± 2.65, P = 0.002), child disease care (10.63 ± 0.73 and 11.03 ± 1.20, P = 0.034), routine child care (5.38 ± 1.23 and 5.83 ± 1.28, P = 0.039), and maternal health (13.37 ± 1.60 and 14.29 ± 1.29, P < 0.0001) for adolescents and young mothers, respectively. Conclusions: Based on the study’s results, teenage mothers might benefit from support programs provided by healthcare providers, particularly midwives and doctors, to enhance their abilities to care for their children.
The Convergence of National Rational Self-Interest and Justice in Space Policy
Authors: Macintosh Duncan ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2023

How may nations protect their interests in space if its fragility makes military operations there self-defeating? This essay claims nations are in Prisoners Dilemmas on the matter, and applies David Gauthier’s theories about how it is rational to behave morally—cooperatively—in such dilemmas. Currently space-faring nations should i) enter into co-operative space sharing arrangements with other rational nations, ii) exclude—militarily, but with only terrestrial force—nations irrational or existentially opposed to other nations being in space, and iii) incentivize all nations into co-operation by redistributing some space-generated wealth to nations that might otherwise ruin space. Further, since all nations are rationally incentivized to ever greater dependence on space, and since each, by threatening space, can hold hostage its benefits to all, each can demand resolution of terrestrial discontents with other nations. So each has a rational interest in treating others morally both in space and on terrestrial issues.
The Ethical Aspects of Choosing a Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Authors: Pronskikh Vitaly ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we addressed the problem of choosing a nuclear fuel cycle. Ethical problems related to the choice of a nuclear fuel cycle, such as the depletion of natural uranium reserves, the accumulation of nuclear waste, and the connection with the problems of nonidentity and distributive justice are considered. We examined cultural differences in attitudes toward nuclear safety and the associated ambiguities in the choice of a nuclear fuel cycle. We suggested that the reduction in consumption of natural uranium does not seem to be a feasible way of reducing nuclear waste because of the nonidentity problem.

Authors: Andryani Ria , Surya Negara Edi , Syaputra Rezki , Erlansyah Deni
Published: December 2023

Social network analysis to detect communities in social networks is a complex problem, this is due to differences in community definitions and the complexity of social networks. One of the social networks for researchers is the academic social network (ASN). We define the relationships between nodes in ASN into two forms, namely interconnection relationships and interaction relationships. Interconnection relationships are researchers' social relationships that are formed from similarities in discipline between researchers, while interaction relationships are researchers' social relationships that are formed through interactions carried out regarding joint article publications. This research aims to measure the social interactions and social interconnections of researchers in Indonesia using the social network analysis method. The ASN data used in this research comes from the academic social network Researchgate. This research produces information on the social networks of scientific groups in Indonesia and a framework for analyzing researchers' social networks using dual identification community mode which has been able to find and understand the structure of the research community based on records of interactions and interconnections with ASN with similarity values in both forms of network connections 85.9%.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to elaborate an updated catalogue of the bryoflora of the Natura 2000 Site Valongo, as well as to present ecological, chorological and conservation remarks on the taxa. The singularity of the endemic woodlands and heaths, the presence of watercourses and roman gold mining caves in the valley slopes create exceptional conditions for the occurrence of common as well as rare bryophytes. 114 taxa were added to this area’s catalogue and 31 taxa to the regional catalogue of Douro Litoral. There were also found 16 taxa with threatened status in Portugal and 5 endemic taxa at European level and one endemic taxon of the Iberian Peninsula. The preservation of these taxa as well as others will depend on the conservation of this area, especially the natural vegetation formations and the small watercourses.

El objetivo del presente estudio es la actualización del catálogo brioflorístico del Sitio Natura 2000 Valongo, así como aportar algunos datos sobre la ecología, corología y conservación de los táxones que lo integran. La singularidad de los bosques endémicos y brezales, la presencia de líneas de agua y de antiguas minas romanas de oro, han creado condiciones excepcionales para la presencia de briófitos. Se añaden 114 táxones al catálogo de esta área y se amplía el catálogo de Douro Litoral en 31. De los táxones a que se hace alusión, 16 tienen la consideración de amenazados para Portugal, 5 son endemismos europeos y uno lo es de la Península. La preservación de estos táxones, y de los briófitos en general, dependerá de la conservación de la zona, especialmente de la vegetación natural y de los pequeños cursos de agua.

Brioflora de Valsaín (Segovia): catálogo y observaciones corológicas
Authors: Javier Luna , Belén Estébanez
Published: December 2023

Se presenta el catálogo de briófitos de la localidad de Valsaín (Segovia), con un total de 108 taxones (89 de musgos y 19 de hepáticas), 13 de los cuales suponen nuevas citas provinciales. A pesar de enclavarse en un valle abierto al norte en el centro peninsular, dominan los taxones de distribución templado-cálida, lo que parece responder a la tendencia atlántica de su clima y a la presencia de refugios microclimáticos.

We present a list of 108 bryophyte taxa (89 mosses and 19 liverworts) from the locality of Valsaín, in Segovia province. Thirteen of them are new records for the province. Although Valsaín is located in a South-North-oriented valley in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula, taxa with a warm-temperate distribution are dominant. We suggest they are linked to atlantic influence in the climate of the area and to the presence of microclimatic refuges.

Contribución a la conservación de la biodiversidad en la Región de Murcia: Áreas Importantes para Briófitos
Authors: María Eugenia García-Fernández , Isabel Draper , Rosa María Ros
Published: December 2023

Se han seleccionado 15 Áreas Importantes para Briófitos en la Región de Murcia (SE de España) para contribuir a la conservación y gestión de su biodiversidad. Se ha considerado los táxones registrados en 364 localidades de 1 km2 distribuidas por toda la Región. Los datos se han extraído de la bibliografía y del herbario MUB. Las Áreas Importantes se han seleccionado en función de tres criterios: riqueza específica, rareza específica y presencia de táxones catalogados en las Listas Rojas de Briófitos de Europa y la Península Ibérica. Cuando las localidades que cumplen alguno de estos criterios están próximas entre sí y presentan características similares en su medio físico y vegetación, se han agrupado determinando áreas. Éstas se han ordenado por importancia según la puntuación obtenida en el grado de cumplimiento de los criterios. La mayoría de las áreas propuestas están incluidas en espacios naturales o pertenecen a Lugares de Importancia Comunitaria (LIC) o Zonas de Especial Protección para las Aves (ZEPA), o incluso habían sido designadas en un trabajo anterior como áreas de interés botánico para la Región. Tan solo 5 de ellas no habían sido seleccionadas previamente como áreas de interés para ningún otro grupo de organismos.

15 Important Areas for Bryophytes have been established to contribute to the biodiversity conservation and management in Murcia Region (SE Spain). For the selection, species distribution in 364 localities of 1 km2 throughout the Region has been considered. Data were extracted from the literature and MUB herbarium. Important Areas have been selected according to three criteria: species richness, rareness and the presence of species listed in the European and/or Iberian Red Lists of Bryophytes. Localities selected to be included in the Important Areas must fit at least one of the criteria. Then, localities have been grouped by geographical proximity and similarity in their physical characteristics and vegetation, determining Areas. An importance ranking of the Areas, according to the marks obtained by the observance of the criteria, has been established. Most of the selected areas had been already included in areas protected by regional law or belong to Sites of Community Interest (SCI) or Special Protection Areas (SPA) for birds, or had been chosen in a previous work as areas of botanical interest. However, 5 of them had not been previously mentioned as areas of natural interest on the basis of any other organism groups.

Anotaciones sobre hepáticas de España
Authors: Montserrat Brugués , Marta Infante , Rosa M. Cros
Published: December 2023

Se justifican los motivos por los que 22 especies de hepáticas fueron excluidas, añadidas o confirmadas en el último catálogo de las hepáticas españolas (Casas et al., 2009) en relación a los catálogos previos (Casas, 1998; Ros et al., 2007). Fundamentalmente como resultado de la revisión de las muestras de las especies consideradas dudosas, se excluyeron: Acrobolbus wilsonii, Cephalozia catenulata, Cephaloziella elachista, C. phyllacantha, Jungermannia paroica, J. subelliptica, Lophozia capitata, Mannia triandra, Marsupella boeckii, M. sparsifolia, Radula aquilegia, Riccia canaliculata, Riella parisii, Scapania cuspiduligera, S. helvetica y S. uliginosa. Se añadieron al catálogo Nardia insecta y Tritomaria scitula fruto de nuevas recolecciones, y Aneura maxima, A. pseudopinguis y Conocephalum salebrosum a partir de nuevos estudios taxonómicos. Finalmente, se confirmó la presencia de Scapania subalpina.

We justify the reasons underlying the exclusion, addition or confirmation of 22 liverworts in the last checklist of Spanish liverworts (Casas et al., 2009), with respect to previous checklists (Casas, 1998; Ros et al., 2007). Mainly as a result of the revision of specimens belonging to species considered as doubtful, the following ones were excluded: Acrobolbus wilsonii, Cephalozia catenulata, Cephaloziella elachista, C. phyllacantha, Jungermannia paroica, J. subelliptica, Lophozia capitata, Mannia triandra, Marsupella boeckii, M. sparsifolia, Radula aquilegia, Riccia canaliculata, Riella parisii, Scapania cuspiduligera, S. helvetica and S. uliginosa. Nardia insecta and Tritomaria scitula, as a result of new fieldwork, and Aneura maxima, A. pseudopinguis and Conocephalum salebrosum, identified on the basis of new taxonomic studies, were added to the catalogue. Finally, the presence of Scapania subalpina was confirmed.
