The neuroglia of the rat optic nerve. Part I. Golgi-Hortega and Golgi-EM studies
Authors: Mestres-Ventura Pedro , del Rosario Hernández Gilberto
Published: February 2022

In the present study, one describes the morphology of the macroglia (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) of the optic nerve of the albino rat, having been stained according to the modification of del Rio-Hortega of Golgi-Kopsch’s method. This cytology has been studied in the intra-orbital optic nerve, in the intracranial portion of the same, in the optic chiasm and in a first segment of the optic tract. Astrocytes show small differences between those located in the marginal zone of the nerve and those located in the center, being all of them classified as belonging to the fibrous type of astrocytes. With their extensions, these cells establish contact with the external limiting membrane, blood vessels and myelinic nerve fibers. On the level of the limiting membrane, their terminal feet form a kind of cellular barrier similar to that of the cerebral cortex in contact with the pia mater. With the nervous fibers, they establish close relationships at Ranvier’s nodes level, being arranged around them forming small rings. The oligodendrocytes show their main branches impregnated up to where they reach the myelin sheath, but the protoplasmic compartment of this one is not impregnated, giving a different image to the one seen after microinjections with markers. Morphometric studies using fractal dimension and related parameters are presented next in part II of this work.

Authors: Balta Joy Y , O'Keeffe Gerard W , Supple Briony
Published: February 2022

There is an increasing interest in understanding the educational background of anatomy teachers arising from the reported shortage of such staff. This has led to the development of several anatomy graduate training programs, which provide courses on theoretical and practical teaching training as part of their curricula, to prepare graduates for a career in anatomy education. A recent study has reported the design of such a course as part of a Master’s program in Human Anatomy at University College Cork, Ireland. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of students who were enrolled in this course, to apply conceptual knowledge of teaching and learning, to the practical design and delivery of anatomy teaching, and what challenges this posed. Consent was obtained from the students to analyze their reflective teaching portfolios. Analysis showed that students varied from those who demonstrated superficial understanding of core concepts in the teaching and learning, to those who were able to adapt and apply these concepts to their teaching. Moreover, they reported that a lack of experience in educational theory, and the brevity of their exposure to it, was a challenge. This highlights that it is important to equip future anatomy teachers with the necessary skills to build their identity as teachers, in parallel to developing their content knowledge. This highlights the need to develop their intrinsic motivational factors that will help them balance the dual identity both as teachers of, and researchers in, the discipline of anatomy.

Authors: Kim Su Jin , Choo Hee Jung , Yoon Hana
Published: February 2022

Purpose: Overactive bladder (OAB) is observed in women with functional bladder outlet obstruction (FBOO), as are lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Therefore, we evaluated the urodynamic characteristics of women with storage LUTS and FBOO diagnosed by urodynamic studies (UDS).Methods: Women (n=108) with storage LUTS and FBOO diagnosed by UDS were included in this study. The urodynamic characteristics of women with FBOO were compared with those of women with OAB (n=34) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI, n=78). FBOO was defined as a maximum flow rate (Qmax) < 15 mL/sec, combined with detrusor pressure at a Qmax (PdetQmax) > 20 cm H2O in a pressure-flow study. The UDS included uroflowmetry, postvoid residual volume determination, a cystometrogram, and a pressure-flow study.Results: Women with FBOO who had storage symptoms showed a higher PdetQmax and maximum urethral closing pressure (MUCP) than women with OAB and SUI. Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) was observed in 17.6% of women with FBOO. MUCP was significantly higher in women with BOO than in women with BOO and IC/BPS (115.6±27.4 and 96.6±14.1 cm H2O, P=0.00). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the cutoff values of MUCP in women with FBOO compared to women with OAB and SUI were 87 cm H2O (sensitivity=81.5%, specificity=73.5%) and 36 cm H2O (sensitivity=92.6%, specificity=84.4%), respectively. The cutoff value of MUCP in women with FBOO compared to women with FBOO and IC/BPS was 92 cm H2O (sensitivity=85.4%, specificity=78.9%).Conclusions: MUCP could have predictive value for identifying FBOO in women with complex LUTS.

Authors: Fırat Elif , Aybek Zafer , Aybek Hülya
Published: February 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in levels of adrenergic receptor β3 (ADRB3), Rho-related kinase 2 (ROCK2), and guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which play key roles in the adrenergic and cholinergic pathways of contraction-relaxation harmony in voiding physiology, and to explore the relationship between these proteins and overactive bladder (OAB).Methods: This study included 60 idiopathic OAB patients and a healthy control group. A validated OAB-validated 8 questionnaire was completed by all participants. Serum levels of ADRB3, ROCK2, and GEF were examined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Patient and control groups were compared in terms of these levels, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated for all parameters.Results: The levels of ROCK2 were significantly elevated, but there were no correlations between the OAB symptom score and the serum levels of ROCK2, ADRB3, and GEF in OAB patients. In the ROC analysis, ROCK2 alone provided the strongest potential relationship (area under the curve=0.651) with 84.9% sensitivity. The ROCK2+GEF combination provided a satisfactory relationship (AUC=0.755). The AUC for the ADRB3+ROCK2+GEF combination was 0.752, with 64.2% sensitivity and 88.2% specificity.Conclusions: The study results suggest that alterations in serum ROCK2 levels and the use of this parameter in combination with ADRB3 and GEF levels can shed light on the pathophysiology of idiopathic OAB syndrome and provide a new perspective for treatment.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN JOHN LOCKE'S EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE CONDUCT OF UNDERSTANDING
Authors: Abdul Khalique Aboya, Irfan Muhammad
Published: February 2022

This paper addresses three fundamental features of John Locke's educational philosophy, crucial to understanding the philosophical underpinnings of Locke's theory of education and the conduct of the understanding. These three features are 1) intimate connection between education and epistemology, 2) role of sensory faculties in the attainment of knowledge, and 3) the nature of ideas. In the first section, I will examine Locke's conception of epistemology and its relation to his theory of education. Being more akin to the corpuscularian view of reality, Locke believes that one should not bother about the knowledge of those things for which one is not capable due to the limits of one's sensory capacities. The second section is devoted to explaining those factors mentioned by Locke in his educational writings, which are crucial to understanding the conduct of understanding and play an important role in a child's mental development. Such as thinking habits, ideas as an object of understanding, the flexibility of mind, history, culture, language, and morality. The third section aims to clarify the meaning and nature of ideas as they are the cornerstone of Locke's epistemology which is intimately connected to his educational philosophy. Being an empiricist philosopher, he reduces man to an experiential plane of life and believes that education aims not to know all things except those that affect our conduct.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the main cause of disability and mortality among young people, and neurological dysfunctions can persist many years after injury. One of the main type of TBI is diffuse axonal injury (DAI). The prevalence of diffuse axonal injury is often underestimated in computed tomography (CT) and routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In such cases, diffusion-tensor MRI (DT MRI) and diffusion-kurtosis MRI (DK MRI) provide additional information about the integrity of the brain tissue, which cannot be obtained using standard MRI. In this review, we examined the contribution of DT MRI and DK MRI methods to understanding the pathophysiology and prognosis of DAI to help experts interested in planning new studies and participating in the care of patients with TBI.

Authors: Жилинкова Ксения Борисовна
Published: February 2022

Важную роль в обеспечении населения качественными продуктами питания и продовольственной безопасности страны играет молочная отрасль, состояние которой в значительной степени определяется эффективностью рыночных и государственных механизмов регулирования. Одной из острых проблем, в значительной мере вызванной неэффективностью нормативных механизмов регулирования и мешающих развитию молочной отрасли, является масштабное использование в перерабатывающей и пищевой промышленности заменителей молочного жира, различных пищевых добавок и компонентов, что ведет к фальсификации молочной продукции. В отечественной экономической литературе данной проблеме уделяется недостаточно внимания, существуют очевидные пробелы в методологии исследования и методиках оценки данного явления, что приводит к значительным разночтениям, неправильным выводам и выработке неэффективных управленческих решений. Цель данной работы состояла в анализе проблемы фальсификации молочной продукции и совершенствовании методологии ее исследования.  Исследование проводилось на материалах официальной статистики с использованием аналитических материалов органов государственного управления,  нормативной и научной литературы. В результате исследования было выявлено негативное влияние фальсификации молочной продукции на рынок молока и состояние молочной отрасли. По оценкам автора из-за фальсификации молочное скотоводство недосчитывает до 2 и более млн дойных коров, так как натуральное молоко заменяется суррогатами. При этом фальсифицированная продукция оказывает отрицательное влияние не только на экономику молочной отрасли, но и на здоровье граждан. В статье систематизированы способы, виды и методы фальсификации молока и молочной продукции, составлена наглядная схема влияния фальсифицированной молочной продукции на рынок молока и состояние молочной отрасли. Предложен методический подход к оценке уровня фальсификации молочной продукции на основе сопоставления данных о направлении в переработку молока-сырья и выработки готовой молочной продукции. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы в практической деятельности органов государственной власти для выработки более обоснованных решений по нормативному регулированию рынка молока и молочной продукции.

Authors: Jose Jayaron
Published: February 2022

While ELT emphasizes on well-known teaching approaches such as PPP (Presentation, Production and Practice) or Test-Teach-Test (TTT) for planning and implementing lessons, most EFL professionals rarely experiment with approaches such as Dictogloss, Silent Way, TBLT (Task Based Language Teaching), and so on. While an eclectic approach to teaching English can help achieve lesson aims better, deeper insights into specific approaches can sharpen teachers’ professional edge. Dictogloss, therefore, is one of such approaches that integrates all skills in planning and delivering ELT lessons. The researchers’ experiment with the approach of dictogloss and reflections are summarized in this article. The report includes the need for using dictogloss approach in ELT, a brief literature review, objectives of the experimental lesson, methodology, findings and analysis, recommendations, and conclusion. Overall, this qualitative study on the experimental dictogloss lesson and its reflections concluded at a positive note.

Published: February 2022

This research aimed to developing and designing a model for resolving the confusion between hematology in a thin blood smear by means of a pre-defined deep learning model for detection and identification of hematological diseases in thin blood smear images for accurate diagnosis of the different diseases that leukemia and malaria were performed as a sample. There are catastrophic consequences that may lead to death as a result of a mistake in diagnosis and confusion in the knowledge of the disease in particular, especially in hematology, where another disease that was not originally found in the sample is identified for the similarity, which results in surgery and sometimes the administration of drugs in error. In this work, an image processing system was developed to identify patients with malaria and leukemia. The techniques in deep learning have been implemented where the CNN (Alexnet and Resnet50) image recognition model was applied to detect patterns and extract features of the different types of malaria and leukemia from the images. And that is through developing algorithms to distinguish between the two diseases, discovering the presence of similarities in the patterns of stages and the different types of malaria and leukemia in blood images, and reaching to solve the problem of confusion by training, verification, and testing using the mutual verification system that uses three folds. The system achieved an accuracy of 94.3% for Resnet50 and 92.3 for Alexnet in detecting and classifying the types and stages of the two diseases (malaria and leukemia). And 100% to distinguish between them.

Timing and location of transient reef fish spawning aggregations are fundamental data required to effectively manage populations, particularly those exposed to commercial fisheries. The giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis) is a semipelagic apex predator of ecological, economic, and cultural significance across its Indo-Pacific range, yet information regarding regional spawning aggregations for the species remains scarce. Here we present documentation to record, for the first time, putative transient spawning aggregations of giant trevally in the Red Sea. Considering that other C. ignobilis aggregations demonstrate highly predictable and specific spatiotemporal dynamics, relevant resource managers should pursue protection strategies to avoid rapid overexploitation of the stock.

Published: February 2022

Pembahasan mengenai Ahl al-Kitab selalu hangat untuk diperbincangkan di semua kalangan, tak terkecuali dalam dunia akademik. Hal ini karena secara tersurat banyak ditemukan di dalam al-Qur;an. Dan ini memberikan pemahaman yang berbeda di kalangan mufasirin terlebih pernyataan al-Qur’an menyebutkan bahwa “ mereka semua tidak sama”. Dan pada akhirnya juga berimplikasi pada hukum bertaamul dengan Ahl al-Kitab di masyarakat.

Berdasarkan hal di atas, penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian Ahl al-Kitab perspektif M. Qurais Shihab. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk mengeksploitasi pandangan beliau mengenai Ahl al Kitab. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan (library research) yang bersifat kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode tafsir maudu’i (tematik) dengan pendekatan historis-sosiologis.

Hasil penelitian ini menyebutkan bahwa pertama, Ahl al-Kitab adalah mereka yang beragama Yahudi dan Nasrani. Kedua, dalam bermuamalah umat Islam dibenarkan untuk menjalin persaudaraan dan kerjasama dengan umat non-Muslim, selama hal itu tidak menyebabkan ekses pencemaran akidah.
