Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between the EU and Western Africa:
Authors: Doval Hernandez Violeta
Published: July 2022

In the context of Cotonou and Post Cotonou Partnership Agreements stablished between the European Union and former colonies named by the group of African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP), this paper investigates the possible risks over ACP of one of the Agreement main objectives: the Free Trade Areas or EPAs (Economic Partnership Agreements).With this purpose, the paper uses as a case study the analisis of Western African, focusing on the particular context of Senegal.
The selected region presents some of the paradox that are communly seen in ACP countries: an outstanding wealth in natural resources, together with some of the lowest indicators of Human Development in the world. Thus, despite the region hosts up to 267 international companies exploiting the mining sector (International Transparency, 2013) and one of the world richest maritime areas, basic needs for its population are still a challenge. To adress such complex matter as an International Trade Agreement launched by the European Union with a wide block of countries of ACPs the paper presents a survey including both primary and secondary data collection in a mixted methodology which combines quantitative and qualitative data. In-depth interviews were carried out at two Directorates of the European Commission to responsibles for external relations with West Africa. In Senegal, officials of public institutions and civil society representatives were consulted.
The research concludes that the EU policies promoted with ACP countries in EPAs framework show serious contradictions with the social, environmental and economic priorities of the mostly classified as Least Developed Countries in Western Africa region. Thus, for Senegal case, the policies would increase the risk of increasing dependency on food imports and food insecurity.

Rail transport has a crucial role to play not only in the EU’s strategy for a sustainable transport sector, but also in terms of economic and social cohesion. It contributes significantly to the mix of transport modes in the EU, while providing clean mobility and a high degree of efficiency. Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume of passenger and freight rail transport has fallen sharply due to constraints and lower demand for transport. Several players in the rail market had to close down. Rail operators had to face a sharp decline in transport services. In 2020, the demand for passenger transport was significantly lower than in the previous year. Thus, railway undertakings were not able to pay the charges for access to the railway infrastructure during the emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Infrastructure managers had the opportunity to temporarily reduce, waive or defer these charges. The negative economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic could reduce or significantly endanger their financial viability for market stakeholders. Reducing charges for access to railway infrastructure is just one of the few measures that will help railway undertakings to function better. The paper focuses on the analysis of the impact of the pandemic and the implemented measures on the passenger rail sector in the Slovak Republic and on the development of rail passenger and freight transport during the pandemic. It summarizes the proposed measures against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in rail transport in Slovakia.

Published: July 2022

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat associated with deficient in the discovery of new antibiotics. Although some countries have been capable to contain resistance, but in most countries, antibiotic-resistant bacteria prolong to rise with antibiotic consumption in both humans as well as animals. For all decision makers worldwide, the antibiotic resistance is a global issue and a major concern. Some proceedings have been carried out in the last 15 years, in particular by the World Health Organization, the Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention and the European Centre for Diseases Prevention and Control. However, those accomplishments were incomplete and poorly implemented, without proper coordination. Our aim in this review is to understand the cause and effectiveness of antimicrobial resistance by putting some light on the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Like bacteria, different microorganisms have consistently developed so they can oppose the new medications that medication has used to battle them. Obstruction has progressively become an issue as of late on the grounds that the speed at which we are finding novel anti-microbial has eased back radically, while anti-microbial use is rising. Also, it's difficult an issue bound to microorganisms, however, all organisms that can possibly transform and deliver our medications insufficient.

Published: July 2022

Present work involves the development of novel in situ film-forming hydrogels (FFH) consisting of primarily Carbopol 934P, HPMC E50 LV and PEG 400. Here, propylene glycol was employed as a permeation enhancer for studying its effect in the formation of FFH and drug permeation. Prepared formulations were assessed for various parameters. Prepared FFH was uniform in weight and thickness with acceptable pH, viscosity and spreadability. Prepared FFH was able to form the in- situ film on the skin surface within 7min. propylene glycol was found to have a direct relationship with moisture content, moisture uptake and water vapour transmission. Higher drug encapsulation and better permeation were also observed when the concentration of propylene glycol was increased. All formulations were non-irritating to the skin and thus acceptable. In conclusion, prepared in-situ film-forming hydrogel can be effectively used as a novel dermal drug delivery system.

Authors: Mukherjee Nabanita
Published: July 2022

The increasing applications of nanoparticles such as Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2 nanoparticles) are found in the various biotechnological and biomedical fields like drug delivery, disease diagnostics, imaging, biosensor development, cosmetics, foods, etc. In the new era of nanotechnology, we get new dimensions in medical and pharmaceutical fields such as vaccine design (as nano materials show good performances in antigen delivery, as it mimics viral body and also it acts as adjuvant). Thus, a systematic and mechanistic evaluation of the possible biotic and toxic effects of SiO2 nanoparticles needs to be tested for their safe applicability in human life. In the era of multiple drug resistance and the simultaneous outbreak of new bacterial, viral and other zoonotic strains, human beneficial gut bacteria play a major role in developing the body’s immunity. It controls mucosa-associated immune cells and produces a large number of antibodies. Thus, probiotic treatment becomes crucial for maintaining the human body’s proper balance on immunity. The biosafety study of SiO2 nanoparticles was tested on several human cell lines. But, the effect of SiO2 nanoparticles on human beneficial gut flora, used as probiotic has never been tested before. Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming, dominant, lactic acid bacillus used as a probiotic worldwide. Here, we report SiO2 nanoparticles (15 nm) inhibits the growth of bacteria even at a smaller dose (0.1 mg/L), electron microscopy images and enzyme study also reveal changes in bacterial cell wall integrity due to stressful condition. Hence, bacterial interaction with silicon dioxide nanoparticles was studied thoroughly.

Published: July 2022

Smartphone addiction, known as a fear of being without a mobile phone, is often discussed with an Internet overuse problem or addiction. But in general, it is rarely the phone itself that creates the addiction, but rather the games, apps, and online worlds it connects people to. This study aims to measure the level of smartphone addiction in university students living in Eastern Turkey and identify the university students’ smartphone addiction and awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study population consists of 443 students who were studying in different departments in the 2020-2021 spring term at Bitlis Eren University. To summarise the key findings, it has been observed that men are more smartphone-addicted than women. Those who do not think that the duration of smartphone use has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic period has more impact on the SAS than those who do. It has been observed that students in the 1st grade are more phone addicted than those in the 2nd grade. Those who used the smartphone for 1 year or less were more likely than those who used it for 1 year or less were more smartphone addicts than those who used it for 5 years or more.
Morphology Within the Parallel Architecture Framework
Authors: Benavides Carlos
Published: July 2022

The Parallel Architecture (PA) framework (Jackendoff 2002, 2007, Culicover & Jackendoff 2005) is one of the most complete constraint-based linguistic theories that encompasses phonology, syntax and semantics. However, it lacks a fully developed model of word formation. More recently, a theory called Relational Morphology (RM) (Jackendoff & Audring 2020) has been developed, that integrates into the PA. The current study shows how the Slot Structure model (Benavides 2003, 2009, 2010), which is compatible with the PA and is based on the dual-route model and percolation of features (Pinker 1999, 2006; Huang & Pinker 2010), can provide a better account of morphology than RM, and can also be incorporated into the PA, thus contributing to make this a more explanatory framework. Spanish data are used as the basis to demonstrate the implementation of the SSM. The current paper demonstrates two key problems for RM: inconsistent and confusing coindexation, and a proliferation of schemas, and shows that these issues do not arise in the Slot Structure model. Overall, the paper points out significant drawbacks in the RM framework, while at the same time showing how the PA’s morphological component can be enriched with the Slot Structure model.

Secretos, fallidos y políticos: Procesos de deslegitimación del asociacionismo adoptivo nacional en Corea del Sur
Authors: ROMERO MORENO ELISA
Published: July 2022

En 2019, se creó la primera asociación independiente de adoptados nacionales en Corea del Sur. En un momento de profundos cambios sociojurídicos en torno a la diversidad familiar y la protección de la infancia, la presencia pública de los adoptados supone un potencial avance en sus derechos. Sin embargo, desde su creación, algunos padres y madres adoptivos, así como profesionales de adopción, han mostrado cierto rechazo. Representantes de ambos colectivos, posicionados como las principales figuras de autoridad en el escenario adoptivo, acusan a esta nueva agrupación de ser “adoptados secretos”, “fallidos” o “resentidos” y de estar demasiado politizados. A través del análisis de sus testimonios, este artículo examina la forma en que estos adoptados dan sentido a los argumentos empleados contra sus aspiraciones de conseguir espacios de representación y decisión propios. Este artículo se basa en una investigación etnográfica multisituada, realizada en el Área Metropolitana de Seúl entre 2019 y 2020.

Published: July 2022

Background: Trauma, as one of the major public health challenges, was the leading cause of death and disability in most countries. Trauma was considered as the most common reason for emergency department admission. Children are the most susceptible group of society to trauma, so we designed a study to investigate the epidemiologic feature and outcomes of trauma in children under 18 years old. In light of these findings, we might be able to prevent trauma in children.

Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study during the spring season of 2019 (for 3 months). The study population was all children under eighteen years old with GCS below 9 (1814cases), referring to the emergency department of Tabriz Emam-Reza Hospital. Among 1814 patients, 1786 patients were included. For each included patient, the outcomes of the 24-hour follow-up have been recorded.

Result: In this study, 62.1% percent (n=1109) were males. The mean age of patients was 5.47 ± 3.1. There were 1271 (71.1%) head and neck trauma, 276 (15.5%) extremities trauma. Abdominal trauma (n=66, 3.7%) and spinal trauma (n=57, 3.2%) were the rarest types of mechanism. It was revealed that falling had the most incidence frequency (40.4%). Eventually, out of the entire study population, 1361 patients were discharged from the emergency department (75%), 5 patients transferred to the trauma ward (0.2%), 1 patient hospitalized in the intensive care unit (0.05%), 250 patients left the hospital against physician permission (14%), 110 patients referred to another center (6%), 59 patients escaped from the hospital (3%) and zero deaths.

Conclusion: Our study suggests that the head and neck were the most injured anatomic locations in children. Males were more susceptible to being exposed to trauma. Falling and traffic accidents were the most frequent mechanism of trauma that occurred in under eighteen-year-old children. Awareness of patterns of pediatric trauma may help the adoption of safety policies and develop prevention strategies. In this regard, training prevention strategies for parents and improving playground safety will be effective.
Effect of endogenous gibberellic acid content on physiological and yield related traits in late sown wheat

Published: July 2022

Terminal heat stress is becoming major factors in limiting wheat production with increasing evidence of heat stress in present scenario of climate change. Plant hormones are key player in determining plant response to these stresses from perception of stress to final adoptive response. Gibberellic acid is one of the major plant hormone playing crucial role in plant development from germination to seed development, but there is huge gap in knowledge about its role under heat stress. Present study was conducted in late sown wheat (i.e. on 5th January)to examine the inter-relationship between leaf gibberellic acid (GA3) level at reproductive stage with physiological and yield related traits under heat stress in 40 wheat genotypes. Genotypes were categorized into three classes namely tolerant, intermediate and sensitive based on heat stress tolerance ability for further analysis. The diversity in endogenous GA3 concentration was found among the cultivars. The unique inverse relationship between GA3 level in flag leaf and tolerance level of genotypes was found in this study through regression analysis (p<0.05). The path analysis showed that GA3 had direct negative influence on test weight under heat stress conditions. Thus, investigations of mechanism of GA3 influence on sink capacity have the potential to develop heat tolerant genotype and increase wheat production under heat stress.

Published: July 2022

Polyamines are low molecular weight nitrogen containing compounds present in all living organisms. These are considered to be a new class of plant hormones, and play a positive role in plant growth and developmental processes including cell division, in vitro organogenesis and somatic, and zygotic embryogenesis. In our study, three polyamines PUT, SPD and SPM were used alone and in combinations in plant regeneration medium for in vitro plant regeneration from embryo developed through wheat × maize cross for double haploid production in wheat. Usually, these embryos have low regeneration efficiency but polyamines addition alone and in combinations in plant regeneration medium enhanced plant regeneration frequency as compared to control. Lower concentration of polyamines (1 and 2 ppm) has been found to be effective as compared to higher concentration (5 ppm). The polyamine concentration 1 ppm found to be promising concentration to improve plant regeneration. The combination of polyamines PUT+SPD (0.5 ppm+0.5ppm) proved better than other combinations to enhance plant regeneration frequency. The combination of PUT+SPD+SPM (0.5 ppm + 0.25 ppm + 0.25 ppm) although reduced plant regeneration frequency but plants were more vigorous and healthy.

Organic farming aims to produce healthy and non-toxic food for consumers using natural inputs to eliminate anysubstance from farming system which is harmful to human as well as soil health. Organic farming is not a new concept but a traditional farming system with modern scientific techniques. Realizing the long-term positive impact of organic farming, Government of India is also promoting the organic farming on a large scale. In line with this, three villages of Angara block of Ranchi District have been developed as fully organic villages. To assess the general, attitudinal and control belief among tribal farmers towards organic farming, a study was conducted in two Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) certified villages namely Dhurleta and Budhakocha of Ranchi district in Jharkhand state during the year 2019–20. Data for the study was collected through personal interview of the tribal farmers practicing organic farming using structured interview schedule developed for the purpose. A total of 50 farmers (25 farmers from each village) selected through systematic random sampling method formed the sample of the study. Findings of the study showed that about 76.80% farmers believed that organic farming is good while 61% of the respondents had favourable attitudinal belief towards organic farming. Majority of the population agreed that disease, pest control, marketing and complexity in certification are the major setbacks in large scale adoption of organic farming.

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata L.) is one of the most important Cucurbitaceous crops having a huge potential ofnutritional security and has vast diversity in Indian condition. Forty diverse genotypes of pumpkin were evaluated for phenotypical variations and assessment of genetic diversity, at G B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology Pantnagar during spring-summer of 2018 and 2019. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The data was subjected to Principal Component Analysis, where a total of 8 components were identified. First four components account for about 60.26% and 60.33% cumulative effects during first and second season, respectively. During first year the Eigen root of the first principal component caused 20.24% variation of total variation while, during second year the Eigen root of first principal component accounted 25.58% variation of total variation. A relative positive weight by each of the component to each single trait indicated that there was great scope for improvement in these traits through selection. Presence of sufficient phenotypic and genotypic diversity showed the scope in pumpkin crop for further improvement.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L. 2n = 26) is considered as valuable oilseed crop known to humans since ancient times. Despite having high oil quality, sesame is grown in small area due to lack of high yielding varieties with inbuilt resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore an experiment was conducted to study the genetic diversityfor yield and its component traits using 60 sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes collected from the OilseedsSection, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during kharif 2017. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among the studied genotypes. Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was found to be greater than the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the characters studied, which reflected the role of environment in the expression of the observed traits. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for number of capsules per plant and number of seeds per capsule indicating predominance of additive gene action for controlling these traits. Cluster analyses based on D2 values using Tocher’s method were used to make a dendrogram of the morphological data. The presence of genetic diversity among the evaluated germplasm will help geneticist and breeders to select diverse parents in crossing for development of high yielding genotypes of  esame.
ОСОБЕННОСТИ РЕГРЕССИИ ВРОЖДЕННОГО ГИДРОНЕФРОЗА В ОТДАЛЕННОМ ПЕРИОДЕ ПОСЛЕ ОПЕРАЦИИ У ДЕТЕЙ
Authors: Akbarov Nosir
Published: July 2022

Изучены особенности регрессии врожденного гидронефроза  в зависимости от его стадии и сроков наблюдения в отдаленном периоде после коррегирующих пластических операции в области лоханочно-мочеточникового сегмента у 81 детей, в возрасте от 1года - до14 лет,  с I, II и III стадией врожденного гидронефроза с одной (53) и с обеих сторон (28), без послеоперационных осложнений. У больных с I стадией врожденного гидронефроза через 3-6 месяцев после операции, наблюдалась быстрая регрессия врожденного гидронефроза. Ренально - кортикальный индекс полностью нормализовался, тогда как у больных с II стадией врожденного гидронефроза тенденция к регрессии резко замедляется. Уменьшение ренально-кортикальный индекс до нормальных показателей наблюдались лишь через 1-2 года. При III стадии врожденного гидронефроза показатели ренально-кортикальный индекс в отдалённом периоде уменьшается не более чем на 40 %, а через 3 года на 50% по сравнению с показателями дооперационного периода. Мы ни в одном случае при III стадии врожденного гидронефроза не отметили сокращения размеров чашечно-лоханочной системы до уровня, соответствующего здоровому органу, не зависимо от сроков операции. Сравнительные исследования врожденного гидронефроза до - и в отдаленном периоде после операции показали, что степень и интенсивность уменьшения размеров чашечно-лоханочной системы была тем выше, чем меньше были её исходные размеры. Полученные данные говорит о необходимости ранней диагностики врожденного гидронефроза и выполнении оперативных коррекций в ранние сроки заболевания.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: mouth opening amplitude allows the evaluation of joint and muscle function, constituting a valuable tool to diagnose alterations in the stomatognathic system.
Objective: to characterize the buccal opening amplitude of patients who attended the temporomandibular disorders consultation of the Clinical Surgical “Dr. Miguel Enriquez” Teaching Hospital, in the period January 2017-January 2020.
Method: a retrospective observational descriptive study was carried out in the period January 2017-January 2020, forming a database from the information obtained directly from the medical records. Literature review and synthesis was performed and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis by means of absolute frequency distribution expressed in percentages.
Results: normal mouth opening width predominated in 61 % of the cases. Severe mouth opening restrictions below 20 mm affected 7 % of the females and 21 % of the males. Twenty-three percent of the 30-39-year-old group presented severe limitations below 20 mm, while 19 % of the 19-29-year-old group presented hypermobility. 65 % of the patients who attended before 1 month of symptom onset recorded limitation of mouth opening.
Conclusions: in patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders, normal mouth opening amplitude predominated, so the ability of the individual to perform this movement within the established range is not necessarily an indicator of absence of joint and/or muscle damage
