Authors: Thomas Novita Silvana , Aphridasari Jatu , Setijadi Ana Rima
Published: January 2025

Background: COVID-19 reinfection has been found, although the data is not clear yet. Pandemic conditions bring about limited facilities and infrastructure, so biomarkers are an option. Research on biomarkers and the use of ACE inhibitor drugs in COVID-19 patients has not been widely conducted in Indonesia.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that used medical record data of confirmed COVID-19 patients treated at dr. Moewardi General Hospital for the period of January to March 2022. Surviving patients were observed for reinfections until November 2022.Results: This study involved 524 medical records of confirmed COVID-19 patients. After exclusion and inclusion criteria, 517 medical records were obtained. D-Dimer cut-off values of ≥2435 were significantly related to severity (OR=2.05; 95% CI=1.38-3.06; P≤0.001) and mortality (OR=2.89; 95% CI=1.95-4.27; P≤0.001) of COVID-19 patients. Hs-CRP levels ≥4.59 were significantly associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients (OR=1.82; 95% CI=1.23-2.69; P=0.003). The use of ACE inhibitors (OR=0.55; 95% CI=0.33-0.89; P=0.015) was a protective factor from mortality but increased the risk of reinfection (OR=3.11; 95% CI=1.16-8.36; P=0.034). Conclusion: D-Dimer and Hs-CRP biomarkers could be considered as predictor biomarkers for the severity and mortality of COVID-19 patients. Although the use of ACE inhibitors increased the risk of reinfection, it reduced the risk of mortality due to COVID-19.

По состоянию на 2024 год возникновение и распространение устойчивости к противомикробным препаратам по всему миру не ослабевает, оставляя за собой разрушительные последствия для здоровья и экономики. Эти последствия будут множиться, если не будут приняты совместные глобальные меры по борьбе с распространением сопротивления. Основные факторы резистентности к противомикробным препаратам у людей были ускорены неправильным назначением противомикробных препаратов в практике здравоохранения, неправильным использованием противомикробных препаратов в животноводстве и распространением генов устойчивости к антибиотикам в окружающей среде. Поэтому актуальность определения антибиотикорезистентности разных видов микробов не утрачивается.

В нашем специальном исследовании мы обнаружили разнообразие реакций сортов винограда на колебания природных условий. Для анализа были выбраны сорта с различным экологическим происхождением и уровнем устойчивости к изменениям окружающей среды, а также с различной продолжительностью вегетационного периода и требованиями к температурным и влажностным параметрам. Все эти разнообразные представители рода Vitis, сталкиваясь с аналогичными условиями, развивали общие черты, позволяющие им адаптироваться и плодоносить в новой для себя области, отличающейся от условий, в которых они изначально формировались. Приняв общие свойства, сорта также сохраняли свои индивидуальные характеристики, включая чувствительность к факторам дегидратации. Установлено, что в практических целях способность растений к саморегуляции водного баланса может служить объективным критерием для оценки устойчивости виноградников к негативным воздействиям. Это позволяет учитывать целостность данного параметра, который является результатом комплексных адаптивных реакций и несет важное биологическое значение.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of research is to increase the efficiency of microclonal propagation of Hypericum maculatum by direct organogenesis by selecting the concentration of phytohormones and identifying morphogenetic features of the development of microshoots depending on the duration of cultivation. The objects of study were H. maculatum seeds collected from plants in the scientific collection of the Botanical Garden of the Institute of Biology, Komi Science Center, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. Preparation, sterilization of nutrient media, tools and seeds was carried out according to accepted recommendations. The data obtained indicate the possibility of growing this species of Hypericum in vitro culture on the Murashige-Skoog medium (MS) with the addition of phytohormones at a certain concentration. Direct morphogenesis was obtained using seedlings without roots at the age of eighteen days. It has been shown that during five passages, a high multiplication factor of explants with a maximum height of emerging microshoots is maintained: the height of shoots reached the highest values by the end of the second passage and continued to be maintained during the third to fifth passages; growth and development slowed down in the sixth passage. It was found that the introduction of low concentrations of 6-BAP (0.1 ml/l) with IAA (0.1 ml/l) into the MS nutrient medium contributed to minimal budding with a maximum yield of morphologically normal shoots (up to 46 shoots) without the need for a phase elongation. At a high concentration of BAP (1 mg/l), a green callus was formed over the entire surface of the seedling, followed by the formation of shoots. As a result of research, an effective scheme of microclonal reproduction of H. maculatum by direct organogenesis was developed and the duration of cultivation of explants was revealed, which makes it possible to obtain the largest number of microplants.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of research is to study the content of fatty acids, trans-isomers of unsaturated fatty acids in cow's milk. Tasks: to establish the concentration of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (%, g/100) in cows' milk, to determine the quantitative content of trans-fatty acids in the composition of milk fat (%, g/100), to identify the daily dynamics of the fatty acid composition of milk. The studies were carried out in JSC Kamenskoye of the Sverdlovsk Region on breeding cows from the first to the third lactation. The studied indicators: the amount of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, fatty acids and their trans-isomers in daily dynamics and by the size of the carbon chain. The received data was processed biometrically. A change in the fatty acid composition of cows' milk during the day was established. The content of fatty acids and their trans-isomers in the milk of cows in the evening was significantly higher than in the morning. The proportion of saturated fatty acids was 2.3 times higher than the total amount of unsaturated fatty acids, while the proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids and their trans-isomers were low. The total fat fraction of milk was dominated by medium-chain fatty acids in all periods of the day. For all groups of fatty acids, the greatest variability was noted in milk obtained during morning milking: the variation coefficient fluctuated from 55.2 % for medium-chain fatty acids to 84.9 % for short-chain fatty acids. Among saturated fatty acids, palmitic and stearic acids predominate. In the context of the day, the main amount of fatty acids and their transisomers enters the milk of cows in the evening, which must be taken into account when processing milk into dairy products.

Published: January 2025

The paper presents the assortment trend and marketing analysis of veterinary medicinal products for the prevention and treatment of helminthic infestations in horses registered in the Russian Federation. Anthelmintics are antiparasitic drugs for the fight against helminths. The analysis of these drugs was carried out on the example of the veterinary pharmacies "Horsevet" and "Vetlek". According to the data obtained, it was established that the Russian market has a significant range of medicinal anthelmintic drugs (41 names) used for the prevention and treatment of helminth infections in horses. The domestic manufacturer occupies a leading position among the presented range of products – 34.1±1.87 %. On the market of veterinary drugs, there are imported anthelmintic drugs represented by such manufacturing countries as Belarus, Argentina, Brazil, Holland, Spain, Canada, etc. In the study of drugs by the number of pharmacologically active substances, it was found that monocomponent drugs account for 63.4±0.38 %, and multicomponent drugs – 36.6±0.85 %. The most common are soft dosage forms – 63.4±3.78 % (26 trade names in the form of flavored pastes and gels), which makes it easier to give the drug. Anthelmintic drugs in most cases are potent drugs, so most of them have a number of contraindications for use (85.4±4.95 %). 14.6±0.95 % of drugs have no contraindications. The use of all registered anthelmintic drugs for horses at the recommended doses does not cause changes in vital functions in the animal body.

Currently, there is a growing demand for bakery products. To expand the range and increase the nutritional and biological value of finished products, various herbal supplements are used. One such ingredient in wheat bread recipes can be spinach. The purpose of the study: to reveal the possibility of introducing chopped dried spinach into the recipes for the production of wheat bread as an enrichment additive, to expand the range of functional products. Tasks: to study the effect of chopped dried spinach on the main indicators of wheat bread; to determine the possibility of using chopped dried spinach in bakery production. Trial baking was carried out on the basis of the Belgorod State Agrarian University at the Department of Production and Processing Technologies of the Agricultural Industry. To make bread, 3 %, 5 and 10 % spinach was added to the dough by weight of baking wheat flour. With an increase in the amount of dried chopped spinach added to the dough, the taste of the finished product is enhanced; the smell becomes brighter and more pronounced, and the color is darker and richer. In terms of crumb moisture, all samples correspond to GOST, the lowest humidity was observed in the control sample – 37.8 %, in experimental samples it was: in 3 % spinach – 38.6 %, in 5 % spinach – 40.0, 10 % spinach – 38.1 %. The acidity of the test samples turned out to be higher than in the control by 33.3 %, 62.5, 79.2 %, respectively (control – 2.4 degrees). The porosity of the crumb both in the control and in the experimental samples is more than 72 %, and is in the range of 75.5–76.3 % for all bread products, which means that this indicator also complies with the standards of GOST R 58233-2018 “Bread from wheat flour. Specifications". Based on test baking and laboratory studies, it was found that the optimal dose of chopped dried spinach is 5 % by weight of the flour.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of the work is to develop methods for the effective biotechnological transformation of grain types of raw materials to obtain new food ingredients. The chemical composition of various types of grain raw materials for the main polymers, as well as the quantitative content of phytic acid, was studied. Studies have been carried out on the selection of various enzyme systems for the hydrolysis of grain raw materials, taking into account the use of the enzyme lysate as a functional response in food products. In the course of the work, five different variants of enzymatic treatment were investigated, containing enzymes: proteases, alpha- and glucoamylases, lipases and phytases for the bioconversion of various types of grain. It has been established that the maximum degree of hydrolysis is ensured by the use of a complex that exhibits proteolytic, cellulolytic, phytolytic and lipase hydrolytic abilities. In the process of enzymatic treatment, a maximum increase in low-molecular products of hydrolysis of raw materials was revealed: amino acids – by 20–40 %, reducing substances – by 40–60 % and a decrease in phytic substances – by 20–45 % when exposed to the enzyme system (option 5). The use of this enzyme complex will increase the nutritional and biological value of ingredients, reduce anti-nutritional properties by reducing phytic acid and increasing the availability of trace elements for absorption by the body. Based on the experimental data, a block diagram for obtaining ingredients with improved properties has been developed. The ingredients obtained on the basis of the presented technology can be used in the preparation of food products for functional and preventive purposes.

The purpose of research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods of watering and feeding apple trees in an intensive type orchard in the conditions of the Central Ciscaucasia. To achieve this goal, experiments were carried out on the territory of the training and experimental station of the Stavropol State Agrarian University to study the effectiveness of fertigation and drip irrigation relative to control without the use of irrigation and fertilizer. The apple varieties Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Gala, Champion and Jeromini were the object of research. Accounts were taken of the influence of the analyzed factors on the average growth of annual shoots, the average weight of fruits and the yield of the apple varieties under consideration. On average, for varieties on the studied backgrounds, there was a significant increase in the average length of the growth of branches relative to the control by 12.8–23.1 cm, and against the background of fertigation, a significant advantage was also noted relative to the variant with irrigation without fertilizer – by 10.3 cm. Of the considered apple varieties, the most restrained growth of branches was observed in the varieties Braeburn and Champion, which amounted to 19.9–21.9 cm in the experiment. Accounting for the average fruit weight in the experiment showed that against the background of the considered irrigation options, there was a significant increase in the average fruit weight relative to the control by 21.7–29.7 g. The maximum average fruit weight in the experiment was observed against the background of fertigation. The highest indicator was observed in the Champion variety, which significantly exceeded the results of the other varieties in the experiment by 24.3–34.7 g. The harvest records showed a similar picture. Both irrigated options showed a significant increase relative to the control by 2.5–4.5 t/ha, and when comparing the studied options with each other, a significant advantage of fertigation is noted relative to the option with irrigation without fertilizer by 2.0 t/ha. The maximum yield in the experiment was in the Champion variety with fertigation, which exceeded the performance of other options by 2.2–15.6 t/ha.

Authors: - Sangeeta Kakoty
Published: January 2025

In this 21st century, with the aid of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), various means of support services have come up in the teaching-learning system and adopted by most of the Online and Distance Learning (ODL) providers. All these support services for learners are regular post–enrollment activities, in normal times. However, in a difficult and critical time too, the learner can never be, left alone. The ODL institutions, by incorporating ICT tool, must formulate more scientific & methodical approach so that the learner could tide over any crisis at ease.
Here in this paper, we are proposing a critical and difficult time approach to provide to the learner. The basic objective of such critical time approach would be multidimensional and we will discuss the whole format in the light of the programmes that are being broadcast through “Jnan Taranga” Community Radio Service, patronized by the Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University, Guwahati, Assam, during the lockdown period to prevent the spread of COVID 19. In this context, we would like to develop a theory and practice of critical time support service to the learners who are suffering from stress and trauma.

Published: January 2025

The housing backlog of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) in the Philippines has relevantly increased over the years. There has been an alarming number of Informal Settler Families (ISFs) and those households living within danger zones. These are considered factors that affect the number of housing needs in the region since they do not own a permanent and safe housing structures.

Significantly, the government, through its housing sector, has been implementing housing projects that cater the need for housing and resettlements. One of these projects is the Tadiangan Resettlement Project which was implemented by the National Housing Authority (NHA) in Tadiangan, Tuba, Benguet. The beneficiaries of this project were households in need for relocation or resettlement.

In compliance with the directive of then Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) which is to provide immediate shelter assistance to families affected by natural calamities in 2009, the National Housing Authority (NHA) has proposed a resettlement site located in Tadiangan, Tuba, Benguet. Numerous families have accepted the offer to be relocated to the said resettlement site with a payment scheme similar to rent-to-own, having only minimal payments that beneficiaries need to settle.

After more than a decade, the quality of life that beneficiaries have achieved upon acquisition of shelter from an implementing government agency is measured and assessed through their level of satisfaction and the level of implementation of the said project.

Keadaan jenayah siber di Malaysia makin membimbangkan dengan pelbagai kes yang melibatkan penggodaman, penipuan dalam talian, serangan perisian hasad dan kebocoran data. Walaupun terdapat lebih daripada 30 undang-undang yang berkaitan dengan aktiviti siber, pelaksanaan undang-undang ini masih kurang berkesan untuk menangani ancaman yang makin kompleks. Dalam kajian ini, analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif. Oleh itu, pengkaji menganalisis isu dan cabaran untuk mengatasi jenayah siber di Malaysia. Antara cabaran utama yang ditemukan termasuklah perubahan pesat teknologi, definisi jenayah siber yang terus berkembang, isu bidang kuasa dalam siasatan rentas sempadan dan kekurangan keterangan digital. Di samping itu, kesukaran untuk mengenal pasti lokasi sebenar penjenayah siber dan masalah pemeliharaan data digital turut menjadi penghalang utama bagi siasatan dan pendakwaan yang berkesan. Menerusi kajian ini, pengkaji mencadangkan penambahbaikan terhadap undang-undang siber sedia ada, termasuklah pindaan Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998, Akta Jenayah Komputer 1997 dan Akta Perlindungan Data Peribadi 2010 untuk memperkukuh penguatkuasaan dan penyiasatan jenayah siber. Dengan adanya pendekatan yang lebih dinamik, undang-undang ini menjadi lebih responsif ke arah mengurangkan risiko terhadap ancaman siber yang berkembang pesat.

Pengkaji membincangkan pemansuhan Kesalahan Memikat Wanita yang Sudah Berkahwin di bawah Seksyen 498 Kanun Keseksaan dan mengenal pasti undang-undang yang berkaitan dengan moral dan perzinaan dari perspektif agama dan sejarah. Pengkaji turut mengemukakan cadangan untuk menggantikan peruntukan yang telah dimansuhkan dengan undang-undang yang lebih sesuai. Metodologi yang digunakan ialah pendekatan kajian campuran, serta melibatkan kaedah kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Data diperoleh melalui kajian kepustakaan, dokumentasi dan soal selidik, yang kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan dan deskriptif secara frekuensi dan peratusan. Pengkaji mendapati bahawa pemansuhan Seksyen 498 selaras dengan prinsip hak asasi kesamarataan gender seperti yang diperuntukkan dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Walau bagaimanapun, perbuatan zina ialah kesalahan yang bertentangan dengan nilai budaya, moral dan agama, terutamanya bagi masyarakat Islam di Malaysia. Pemansuhan peruntukan ini berpotensi untuk memberikan implikasi negatif terhadap institusi kekeluargaan dan sosial di negara ini. Oleh itu, menerusi makalah ini, pengkaji mencadangkan penggubalan peruntukan baharu untuk menangani kesalahan menggoda pasangan yang telah berkahwin, sama ada suami atau isteri orang lain. Peruntukan ini diperlukan utuk menjamin kesamarataan gender, selaras dengan prinsip yang dipegang dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Many existing reviews of educational technologies focus on the affordances of specific types of technology rather than how different technologies can be designed and used to achieve specific teaching and learning objectives. Furthermore, there appears to be a widely held assumption that the use of educational technology will result in improved outcomes. However, there has been limited scrutiny of evidence about the extent to which use of educational technologies impacts teaching and learning outcomes in school contexts. To address these gaps in understanding of educational technologies, this literature review examines the design of technologies, exploring how they have been leveraged to improve various student learning processes and pedagogical practices. Additionally, the review synthesises key findings from existing research on evidence about the impact of technology use in schools. These insights can guide future decisions around the adoption and evaluation of technologies in schools that ensure alignment with pedagogical goals and lead to improvements in student learning.

St. Thomas Aquinas’ Doctrine of Christ’s Descent into Hades and its implications for African Ancestor Christological discourse
Authors: Boaheng I.
Published: January 2025

The statement “he [Christ] descended into Hades” in the Apostles’ Creed has generated theological debate concerning the nature and purpose of the descent and the relationship of Christ to ancestors. Given St. Thomas Aquinas’ outstanding contribution to the development of this doctrine, this article explores Aquinas’ contributions to the doctrine of Christ’s descent into Hades. It then critiques ancestor Christology through the lens of the descent doctrine. A desktop research approach is used to gather and analyse data from journal articles, books, and theses. The article argues that Christ died in place of sinful humanity and bore the total punishment for sin; therefore, there is no sacrifice for salvation except that which Christ offered. This emphasises that salvation is solely through Christ, and no rituals, sacrifices, or ancestors can replaceHis redemptive work. The article also asserts that Christ,as the Son of God, surpasses any human ancestor inimportance and power, making ancestor Christology invalid. It encourages Akan Christians to place their faith solely in Christ.
