Glyphosate is an organophosphate herbicide widely used in agriculture and has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Roundup Original Mais (ROM) is a glyphosate-based herbicide that contains glyphosate along with other ingredients, and its effects on human health are still a matter of controversy. This study aimed to compare the toxicity of ROM, gradual purified organic extract until pure glyphosate, on serum cholinesterase. Petroleum ether organic extracts of ROM were obtained through procedure A, in which ROM was solubilized in water followed by acetone purification, and procedure B, in which procedure A was submitted to alkalization with 1 M NaOH at pH=11 aiming for purification. Enzymatic activities of ROM, organic extracts obtained from procedures A and B, pure glyphosate, neostigmine (an anticholinesterase agent as positive control), and serum alone (negative control) were detected using a commercial kit for cholinesterase determination, in triplicate. The results showed that all substances, except the pure glyphosate standard, significantly inhibited the enzyme, with the inhibition being:  ROM>neostigmine>Procedure A>Procedure B. ROM was found to be potentially more toxic than pure glyphosate due to the presence of impurities. We showed the gradual toxicity loss with the purification process of ROM, the form by which workers are exposed. The use of serum cholinesterase for toxicity evaluation can provide valuable information on the toxicity of glyphosate-based herbicides. Further studies are needed to investigate the specific impurities present in ROM and their toxic potential on health.

A oferta de educação em espaços de restrição/privação de liberdade é uma instigação para as estratégias de gestão e planejamento que devem visar a potencialização das pessoas envolvidas, em especial alunos e alunas, como sujeitos de direitos capazes de viver dignamente no seio de relações sociais éticas e prazerosas. A reflexão aqui proposta busca exibir as dinâmicas organizacionais macro de implementação da educação, através da atuação das instituições que efetivam sua execução nos presídios paulistas. Com a finalidade de compreender, historicamente, as diversas conexões formais das escalas de poder que se conjugam na tomada de decisão da gestão e do planejamento e seus desdobramentos para o público a ser atendido. A metodologia é qualitativa, por meio da Pesquisa Bibliográfica e Documental, com o intento de captar o movimento intrínseco às continuidades e contradições, que conformam os cenários sob análise. A partir do cenário perscrutado é possível afirmar que as instituições educativas caminharam em ritmo lento e cauteloso, para ocuparem os lugares que são seus, por definição normativa, ainda mais em um contexto de grande complexidade que é a prisão, que gera a necessidade de atuação compartilhada ou interinstitucional. Adicione-se que organizações são formadas por pessoas que muitas vezes não têm consciências mais apuradas sobre o campo de possibilidades da educação, e se há evoluções, são poucas e repercussões pontuais, afinal a desconfiança e a descrença pairam sobre o clima organizacional e as diversas formas de investimentos têm um claro entendimento de precarização.

A adolescência é uma etapa do ciclo vital do ser humano caracterizada por mudanças físicas e psicológicas que marcam a transição entre a infância e a idade adulta. Nessa etapa, o surgimento de dúvidas sobre educação sexual aparece de forma espontânea, sendo necessário intervenção educativa que seja eficiente. Por esse motivo, o objetivo desse estudo foi identificar as tecnologias existentes para orientação educação sexual na adolescência. Como metodologia utilizou-se busca em banco de dados eletrônicos como o Google Acadêmico e como análise, utilizou-se o método do benchmarking comparativo. Os critérios de inclusão foram: estudos entre os anos de 2017-2022, língua portuguesa e que estivessem à domínio público. Já os de exclusão foram: textos incompletos, pesquisas incompletas, que não estivessem condizentes com o tema estabelecido da pesquisa presente. Foram escolhidos para discussão, oito artigos dentro da temática. O benchmarking teve importância para a comparação de tecnologias (jogos), no propósito de melhorar, aumentando qualidade e impacto e as narrativas nortearam exatamente a temática que necessita ser mais abordada nos jogos educativos. Diante do exposto, pode-se concluir que o objetivo teve alcance com êxito.

A utilização de alimentos concentrados na dieta de ruminantes tem se tornado uma alternativa para aqueles criadores que buscam melhor desempenho na produção animal. Dessa forma, se torna importante avaliar se esse tipo de dieta atua, de alguma maneira, na modificação da fauna ruminal. É importante reforçar que os protozoários ruminais representam grande influência na degradação de amido e fibra, com isso, se torna importante a avaliação de como esses microrganismos se comportam quando é utilizado esse tipo de dieta. Diante disso, o presente trabalho avaliou a quantidade e gênero de protozoários em cordeiros alimentados com dieta de grão inteiro. o experimento se deu na Universidade Estadual de Maringá – Campus Fazenda, Umuarama – PR, no laboratório de Criação e Reprodução Animal. Foram utilizados 10 cordeiros, com 50 dias de idade, machos não castrados, com peso médio de 16,4 kg. Mantidos em baias individuais, receberam duas dietas diferentes: A (isoenergética) e B (isoprotéica). O período experimental durou 60 dias, com adaptação de 7 dias. As amostras coletadas foram armazenadas em tubos eppendorf com 1,0 ml de líquido  ruminal não filtrado e 1,0 de formalina para fixação dos protozoários. A realização da quantificação dos ciliados foi por meio de câmara de contagem Neubauer, onde as amostras foram diluídas na medida 1:1 em água corrente. O líquido foi analisado em microscópio óptico em aumento de 100x, e para a contagem foram considerados 100 campos independentes, realizada em duplicada, onde o valor de cada gênero identificado foi dividido pelo fator de correção 0,004. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos ao SAS, verificando normalidade dos resíduos e homogeneidade das variâncias pelo PROC UNIVARIATE, e analisados pelo PROC MIXED. Animais que foram alimentados com dieta A apresentaram maior quantificação de ciliados por mm3 do que aqueles animais que receberam dieta B. Foi observado o aumento progressivo na contagem de protozoários no decorrer do período experimental para aqueles que foram alimentados com dieta A, já o grupo que recebeu dieta B sofreu defaunação.

Considerando a COVID-19, a terapia destinada em seu tratamento e os eventos adversos causados por medicamentos, com destaque para a lesão renal aguda, este estudo transversal, descritivo, retrospectivo e documental teve o objetivo de analisar o potencial nefrotóxico dos medicamentos utilizados em pacientes internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) de um Hospital Universitário do Paraná, com necessidade de terapia dialítica. Os pacientes incluídos neste estudo (n=367) foram aqueles com diagnóstico confirmado de COVID-19, internados em UTI com idade ≥18 anos. Destes 102 (27,8%) desenvolveram lesão renal aguda (LRA) e necessitaram de hemodiálise (HD), passando a ser nossa amostra de estudo. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários eletrônicos no período de 2020 a 2022, as variáveis estudadas foram: perfil sociodemográfico, medicamentos utilizados, presença de hemodiálise, tempo de internamento e respectivo desfecho. A maioria dos pacientes eram homens (50,8 %); a média de idade foi de 66±14,26 anos; 27,8% desenvolveram LRA e foram submetidos à hemodiálise e 75,5% foram a óbito. Anterior ao início da hemodiálise foram utilizados 113 diferentes medicamentos, todos foram analisados em literatura quanto ao seu potencial nefrotóxico, para tal utilizou-se as bases de dados Drugs.com e Micromedex®, sendo os mais prescritos os antimicrobianos e as drogas vasoativas. Dos medicamentos analisados 15,9% podem causar dano renal, mas se considerarmos apenas os antimicrobianos, o potencial nefrotóxico foi de 100%, e entre as drogas vasoativas este potencial foi de 50%. Esses medicamentos estão entre os mais prescritos utilizados para o tratamento do paciente COVID-19, visto as complicações que acompanham esta doença. Apesar do alto potencial de nefrotoxicidade relacionado ao uso de medicamentos encontrado neste estudo, não é possível afirmar se houve relação direta de causalidade entre o uso dos medicamentos e a necessidade de hemodiálise. Ressalta-se a importância de aprofundar mais esse conhecimento destacando o papel da farmacovigilância na melhoria do atendimento ao paciente neste contexto.

Published: August 2023

A baseline survey was conducted to know the status of haemato-biochemical and mineral parameters in crossbred cattle from 3 different agro-climatic zones of Jammu division. Blood samples (301) from cattle of various age groups were collected and analyzed. The average values of Hb, PCV, glucose, TPP, albumin, PUN, Ca, Pi, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Cu and Zn were 8.60 g/dl, 28.82%, 63.97 mg/dl, 6.78 g/dl, 3.16 g/dl, 9.45 mg/dl, 8.64 mg/dl, 4.88 mg/dl, 2.35 mg/dl, 145.63 mEq/I and 4.48 mEq/I, 65.40 µmol/l, 10.89 µmol/l and 31.25 µmol/l, respectively. Based on Hb and PCV level, anaemia was recorded in 28.12 and 18.75% animals, respectively. Overall the plasma analysis revealed deficiency of Ca, Pi, Mg, Na, K, Cu, Zn, Fe among 41.49, 34.27, 3.50, 25.84, 22.09, 48.72, 4.83 and 4.40% cattle population, respectively.

The present investigation encompasses the genetic analysis of first lactation production and fertility performance of Karan Fries cattle. Data were collected on 1,988 cows maintained at National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI), Karnal, Haryana over a period of 34 years (1978 to 2012). Least squares analysis was carried out to study the effect of non-genetic factors, viz. season of first calving (SC), period of first calving (PC), genetic group (GG) and age at first calving group (AFCG) on first lactation fertility and production traits. Least squares means of age at first calving (AFC), first calving to first service (FCFS), first service period (FSP), first lactation length (FLL), first calving interval (FCI), first lactation 305 day or less milk yield (F305MY), first lactation total milk yield (FTMY), milk yield per day of first lactation length (MY/FLL), milk yield per day of first calving interval (MY/FCI) and first lactation daughter pregnancy rate (FDPR) were 957.48±6.54 days, 79.46±3.58 days, 130.03±4.43 days, 347.02±5.51 days, 415.47±5.21 days, 3,213.91±47.61 kg, 3,760.49±74.27 kg, 10.49±0.12 kg/day, 9.14±0.13 kg/ day and 0.33±1.42, respectively. Overview of least squares analysis regarding first lactation traits indicated that most of the non-genetic factors excepting AFC group, significantly affected the performance of the animal. Results revealed the superiority of F1 over other GG of Karan Fries cows indicating a significant effect of heterosis. Heritability estimated by both analysis of variance and average information restricted maximum likelihood methods indicated that the fertility traits were less affected by additive gene action; the estimates for production traits indicated higher role of additive gene action. Both phenotypic and genetic correlation estimates indicated antagonistic association between fertility and production traits.

Published: August 2023

Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) is a soil-borne plant pathogen responsible for causing bacterial wilt and having wide host range which includes monocots, dicots, annual plants/trees and shrubs. It is a most destructive disease of solanceaous crops and ginger in north eastern region of India. The pathogen is primarily present in soils as saprophytic bacterium and it has ability to survive for long periods of time in various natural habitats. The bacterium causes sudden wilting in plants and difficult to detect at the initial level as similar symptom may also occur with many fungal organisms like Fusarium spp. and Verticillium spp. An attempt was made to develop a PCR-based rapid method for detection of this pathogen. This method requires only 3-5 hours against the conventional methods which generally require minimum 3 days to detect the pathogen. The PCR uses previously reported primer pairs for fliC gene (Rsol_fliC), which amplify 400bp region of fliC gene. The bacterial ooze from infected tissues was directly used as a source of DNA. The amplified product was cloned and sequenced for confirmation. The PCR based method developed in this report is very simple, robust and inexpensive and was successfully tested on four infected samples and further validated on over 50 samples of tomato which were infected by R. solanacearum.

The current experiment was conducted at Palampur, India during 2009–11 in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)– pea (Pisum sativum L.) cropping system in RBD replicated thrice with 14 treatments comprising arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), applied–P (50, 75 and 100% recommended P dose) and irrigation regimes (40 and 80% available water holding capacity). At active growth period (50–100 DAS), AMF imbedded treatments exhibited 7 and 20% higher absolute growth rate (AGR) in okra and pea over non–AMF counterparts, while relative growth rate (RGR) both in okra and pea was not affected significantly by AMF application. Net assimilation rate (NAR) and crop growth rate (CGR) in okra were higher by 17 and 3%, respectively with AMF inoculation, though, effect on pea was inconspicuous. At both irrigation regimes, ‘AMF + 75% soil–test based P dose’ registered statistically similar okra fruit and pea pod yields as that obtained under ‘100% soil–test based P dose’, thus, indicating an economy of about 25% soil–test based P dose. AMF inoculated plants also showed nominally higher succulence level (moisture) in okra fruits and pea pods at their picking stages compared to their non–AMF counterparts, again demonstrating a positive impact of AMF on quantitative vegetable freshness and plant water relations as well. AMF significantly enhanced the various indices of P-use efficiency in both crops. The increase in partial factor productivity (PFP), crop recovery efficiency (CRE) and % recovery (PR) of applied–P in okra under AMF inoculation was 9, 36 and 20%, respectively over non–AMF counterparts. In pea, AMF inoculation exhibited respective increase of 12, 61 and 27% in PFP, CRE and PR of applied–P over non–AMF counterparts. Production and monetary efficiencies in okra–pea cropping system were also enhanced by AMF inoculation. Overall, utilization of AMF in okra–pea cropping system indicated an economy of about 25% in soil–test based applied–P dose besides improved plant growth. AMF also revealed a tremendous potential in enhancing P- use efficiency, which otherwise is very low in acid Alfisol. Further, AMF inoculation may lead to improved fruit succulence to fetch better prices in market.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of fruit retention and seed position in fruit on the seed yield and seed quality in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch. ex Poir.) cv. Pusa Hybrid 1 during summer 2008 and 2009, Seed Production Unit, IARI, New Delhi. Among two methods of fruit retentions, one fruit per vine (T1) showed superiority over two fruits per vine (T2) in fruit development and seed yield attributes, viz. fruit weight (4.46 kg), fruit length (22.35 cm), fruit width (20.53 cm), cavity size, filled seeds (473.50), total number of seeds per fruit (479.42), 100 seed weight (14.67 g) and seed yield per fruit (70.44 g). Similarly, T1 over T2 were highly significant for germination (94.27 %), total seedling length (32.76 cm), seedling dry weight (51.01 mg), vigour index- I (3032.24), vigour index- II (4721.10) and low moisture content. Within the fruit, middle segment showed highest number of filled seed (166.40), total number of seed (175.70), germination (90.64 %), seedling length (20.94 cm),seedling dry weight (47.53 mg), vigour indices I and II (2666.44 and 3491.82),and low moisture content (8.63%). Based on this, it is proposed to retain one fruit per vine and extract seed from middle and stylar segments of fruit for high quality seed production in pumpkin cv. Pusa Hybrid 1.

Genetic diversity analysis and germplasm characterization are essential steps in plant breeding and molecular markers are proved tool to accomplish. In spite of its high economic value of okra as fresh vegetable in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa, little attention has been paid to assess its genetic diversity at molecular level. In present study, genetic diversity analysis was performed on 24 Abelmoschus accessions using SSR markers. A total of 85 amplicons were detected from 18 SSR markers. Amplicon analysis revealed a very high level (93.72%) of polymorphism with a mean polymorphic information content (PIC) value of 0.53. Number of alleles scored per primer ranged from 2 to 15 with an average of 4.72 alleles per primer. The UPGMA cluster analysis grouped Abelmoschus genotypes into three main clusters at a cut off value of 0.62. In conclusion, SSR markers enabled discrimination among accessions and provide valuable information for future use in improvement of this genomic resource poor otherwise important vegetable crop.

Published: August 2023

What is this summary about?

This is a plain language summary of an article published in the journal
Advances in Therapy
. In 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (also called the FDA) approved a medicine called vibegron to treat overactive bladder, also called OAB. The key results used to approve vibegron were from the EMPOWUR study. In the EMPOWUR study, participants who took vibegron had fewer urination episodes, urgency episodes, and bladder leaks each day than those who took a pill containing no medicine, called a placebo. At the end of the study, participants also rated how much their overactive bladder symptoms changed overall during EMPOWUR by responding to a survey. Many participants rated their overactive bladder symptoms as improved overall.

This study asked if improvements in the number of urination episodes, urgency episodes, and bladder leaks caused by urgency were associated with feeling better overall. This study also looked at how many participants in the EMPOWUR study had improvements in the number of urination episodes, urgency episodes, and bladder leaks that were big enough to matter. A separate group of people with overactive bladder were asked about the magnitude of improvements that would be important to them. This group had not participated in the EMPOWUR study.

What were the results?

EMPOWUR participants who reported that taking medicine resulted in their overactive bladder symptoms getting better overall also generally reported fewer daily urinations, urgency episodes, and bladder leaks after treatment. Many had changes in their symptoms that were meaningful. Meaningful was defined for each symptom as: at least 15% fewer urinations, 50% fewer urgency episodes, and 75% fewer bladder leaks. Participants who received vibegron had meaningful reductions in the daily number of episodes of urination, urgency, and bladder leaks more often than those who received the placebo (pill with no active medicine). People with overactive bladder who did not participate in the study were interviewed and said that improvements to those symptoms, similar to those seen in the EMPOWUR study, would be important to them.

What do the results mean?

This study suggests that the results we measured in the EMPOWUR study may also reflect changes in overactive bladder symptoms that are big enough to be important to people with overactive bladder. Many participants who took vibegron in the EMPOWUR study felt that it helped to improve their individual overactive bladder symptoms. This may also help improve quality of life of participants.

Desde as estratégias emergenciais de sobrevivência urbana nos abrigos de rua, até as nuances das subjetividades femininas refletidas no cabelo e na representação sígnica. Juntos, mergulharemos na evolução do mercado de trabalho formal, viajando pelo tempo para entender as transformações que afetaram trabalhadores jovens e aqueles experientes com mais de 50 anos no Ceará, nos anos de 2013, 2017 e 2021. No âmago deste livro, enfrentaremos a lacuna na política nacional de migrações, explorando as histórias dos novos apátridas que emergiram desse vazio legal. E também acompanharemos a jornada das subjetividades empreendedoras que estão moldando o cenário do 4º Distrito de Porto Alegre, trazendo novas perspectivas e inovações. Além disso, nossa exploração nos levará a contemplar a revitalização do centro histórico da encantadora cidade de João Pessoa. Através dos olhos e experiências das famílias ribeirinhas do Porto do Capim, descobriremos como a herança e a modernidade se entrelaçam, redefinindo o coração da cidade. Neste ebook, abrimos as portas para uma jornada enriquecedora por meio de narrativas que definem a vida urbana. Convidamos você a se aprofundar nas histórias, nas análises e nas reflexões que moldam nossa compreensão das cidades e da humanidade que nelas habita.
Obesidade e cirurgia bariátrica: aspectos psicológicos no pré operatório - uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Alves da Silva Vanderlúcia , Torres Ferreira Costa Celme
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar como os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica identificam os seus aspectos psicológicos relacionados à cirurgia e aos significantes contemporâneos da obesidade no período pré-operatório. Adotou-se como metodologia a revisão integrativa de literatura, conduzida nas bases de dados SciELO, Pepsique e Medline. Optou-se por selecionar estudos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, isto é, de junho de 2014 a junho de 2019. A amostra final compôs-se de seis artigos. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos publicados na íntegra, nos últimos cinco anos (2014 a 2019), e nos idiomas inglês e português. Assim, os critérios de exclusão foram: publicações como teses, livros, dissertações, resenhas, cartas e editoriais, ou artigos que não estavam disponíveis na íntegra para acesso on-line nas bases elencadas. Os dados encontrados mostram que há uma carência de trabalhos científicos sobre a temática, de modo que não foi possível perceber como as equipes atuam, no período do pré-operatório, no processo de verificação e conscientização dos pacientes sobre as questões psicológicas necessárias. Isto demonstra a importância da realização de novas pesquisas sobre o tema a fim de ampliar as discussões e favorecer a realização de projetos que trabalhem com os pacientes que se submeterão à cirurgia bariátrica.

Serum Myonectin and Adropin Levels in Predicting Diabetes
Authors: SAĞLAM Emel , DURCAN Emre , DAĞ İsmail , DİNÇ Mustafa
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Myonectin is a myokine associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance, and adropin is a peptide hormone that prevents IR and impaired glucose tolerance. Adropin is produced by the liver and regulates energy homeostasis. This research aimed to examine the serum levels of myonectin and adropin levels among prediabetes, newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus, and healthy controls.

Methods: For this cross-sectional study, a total of 167 individuals were divided into 3 subgroups using OGTT and HbA1c; 61 prediabetes (36.5%), 62 nT2DM (37.1%), and 44 healthy controls (26.3%). Serum levels of myonectin and adropin were assayed using enzyme-linked immunoassay kits. The anthropometric (age, gender, weight, height, waist/hip ratio -WHR-, waist and hip circumference, and body mass index -BMI-) and biochemistry findings of the participants were evaluated between the groups.

Results: Our study showed that myonectin levels are associated with nT2DM and WHR (p = 0.028 and p = 0.015, respectively). The serum levels of myonectin are significantly correlated with systolic blood pressure values in the prediabetes group (p = 0.017). Linear regression analysis revealed that nT2DM affects the serum levels of myonectin, but not adropin values. The adropin levels are correlated with LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the nT2DM group (p = 0.002, p= 0.004, and p = 0.035, respectively).

Conclusion: The findings of the previous studies are supported by those of this study and indicated that the serum levels of myonectin may be associated with newly-diagnosed T2DM patients. Serum myonectin levels could be a valuable marker for predicting diabetes mellitus.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Anxiety and stress in parents’ lives during their babies' NICU stays can have a negative impact on all family members. This study aimed to measure the stress and anxiety levels of parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit receiving oxygen support.

Methods: This study was conducted based on cross-sectional design with 123 parents of infants between 1 August 2020 and 01 May 2021. Data was gathered using the "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)", "Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU)", and "Parent Information Form and Infant Information Form".

Results: The STAI scores of the parents were considered "moderately anxious" and the parents were "moderately stressed" based on the overall mean scores on the PSS: NICU and the mean scores on the subscales of the scale. It was found that parents’ number of children, employment, infant gender, type of delivery, intensive care environment characteristics, parents' communication with health personnel, and health condition all influenced their scores on the STAI and PSS: NICU subscales.

Conclusion: Providing a holistic and family-centred approach to parents, the closest relatives of their infants who will create future generations as well as educational and counselling roles played by nurses and reducing stress and anxiety experienced by parents, will have a positive impact on neonatal health.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: This study was planned to determine the effects of depression, anxiety and stress levels of individuals with hypertension on their quality of life.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 161 hypertension patients who presented to the emergency department of a district state hospital affiliated to Samsun Provincial Health Directorate and volunteered to participate in the study. Data were collected with the Descriptive Information Form, SF-12 (Quality of Life Scale Short Form), and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21) through face-to-face interviews.

Results: The mean age of the patients participating in the study was 62.3±14.3 years. The mean scores they obtained from the depression, anxiety and stress sub-dimensions of the DASS-21 were 9.1±4.4, 7.8±4.3 and 9.8±4.0, respectively. The mean scores they obtained from the Physical Component Summary-12 (PCS-12) and Mental Component Summary-12 (MCS-12) of the SF-12 were 39.7±9.1 and 38.3±8.9, respectively. While the depression and anxiety levels were higher in the female participants, the level of the quality of life was higher in the male participants.

As the participants’ age increased, their depression, anxiety and stress levels increased, and the quality-of-life levels decreased. In the participants who exercised while depression, anxiety and stress levels were lower, the level of quality of life was higher.

Conclusion: In this study, depression and anxiety levels are higher in women and lower in married couples. Higher education level has a positive effect on depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life. Individuals who do not have chronic diseases and exercise have low levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.
