Biofortificación de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) con cianocobalamina y micronutrientes aminoquelados (Zn, Fe)
Authors: Restrepo Betancur Luis Fernando , Góngora Espinoza Marion Tatiana , López Marín Beatriz Estella
Published: October 2020

Introducción: El tomate constituye una fuente importante de nutrientes, catalogándose como un alimento óptimo para fortificar la población que presenta déficit de hierro, zinc y cianocobalamina.Material y métodos: Se aplicaron dos tratamientos, uno con minerales inorgánicos y el otro con minerales aminoquelado mediante un proceso de biofortificación foliar. Se cuantificó la concentración de los micronutrientes utilizando el método de Espectrometría por Absorción Atómica de llama directa (EAAF), se utilizó el método EPA 3052 para la evaluación de los minerales. Para el análisis de Cianocobalamina, se usó el método de Cromatografía Liquida (HPLC). Resultados: Se encontró diferencias altamente significativas (p<0,0001) entre los tratamientos en la presencia de minerales, presentándose una mayor concentración de hierro en el tratamiento aminoquelado, 189,53±100,12 mg/kg. En el tratamiento inorgánico la mayor concentración fue de zinc, 89,82±21,67. Al evaluar el contenido de zinc, no hubo deferencias entre la biofortificación con el aminoquelado y el inorgánico (p>0,05), con respecto a la cianocobalamina los datos bromatológicos reportaron menos de 0,04 µg/100 g de tomate en todas las muestras analizadas.Conclusiones: El contenido de hierro en el fruto con el tratamiento aminoquelado, es muy superior a los tratamientos control e inorgánico, además es posible obtener tomate biofortificado con minerales como el zinc y hierro aminoquelados, demostrándose que tienen mejor absorción y posibilitando su biodisponibilidad, finalmente, la biofortificación con cianocobalamina no es pertinente en este fruto, pues este nutriente no es almacenado en el tomate.

Introducción: La enfermedad celíaca (EC) se caracteriza por una gran variedad de signos, síntomas y enfermedades asociadas en su forma de presentación, incluso puede cursar de forma asintomática. Recientes estudios muestran la variación del espectro clínico según la edad. En niños y niñas pequeñas predomina la forma clásica con síntomas como distensión abdominal, disminución del apetito, diarrea y pérdida de peso. Las manifestaciones atípicas frecuentes en niños mayores son dolor abdominal, estreñimiento, reflujo, vómitos, fatiga, talla baja. En adultos se observa una reducción de la forma de presentación clásica e incremento de la no clásica.Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática en la que se han incluido los artículos sobre signos y síntomas de la EC clásica y atípica en niños y adultos, además de las enfermedades que se asocian de forma frecuente a esta patología. Las bases de datos utilizadas para la búsqueda de los artículos fueron PubMed, Web of Science y Scopus, de los últimos seis años (2014-2019). Se han evaluado un total de 164 artículos tras los criterios de selección, de los cuales se han incluido en el estudio los 20 artículos más relevantes.Resultados: La EC se diagnostica con mayor frecuencia en mujeres y a edades más tempranas que a los hombres. En niños menores de dos años predomina la EC clásica, aunque de forma más intensa que en niños y niñas pequeñas. En niños y niñas mayores, adolescentes y edad adulta varía la forma de presentación hacia la atípica o no clásica y asintomática.Conclusiones: El incremento en la prevalencia en los últimos años, gran heterogeneidad de síntomas, enfermedades asociadas y la variación del espectro clínico hacia una forma atípica con síntomas extraintestinales causa retraso en su diagnóstico por lo que deben reconocerse para que se detecte de manera más precoz.
A new framework for creativity in social pedagogy
Authors: Hatton Kieron
Published: October 2020

One of the challenges facing social pedagogy is to identify how creativity can be incorporated not only into social pedagogic practice but also into a conceptual approach which integrates theories of creativity, inclusion and participation into a wider explanatory framework. This article seeks to build on the insights drawn from Danish and German social pedagogy in a way which articulates a new way of developing theory and practice. It draws on a range of articles in the special issue to critique the meaning of creativity, showing the complexity of a matter which can be utilised by neo-liberal and radical commentators. It rejects the former approach and suggests that our understanding of creativity needs to be informed with radical conceptions drawing on inclusion, participation, imaginative space and creative and political imagination. It seeks to integrate these insights into wider debates around intersectionality, critical race theory, gender and social activism. It concludes by looking at questions social pedagogy should consider as we seek to develop our theory and practice.
Taking social pedagogy forward: Its fit with official UK statements on promoting wellbeing
Authors: Petrie Pat
Published: October 2020

This article indicates the range of government interest in wellbeing, briefly describes the emergence of social pedagogy in the UK generally and indicates the part played in it by the UK governments since 2000. This is followed by a short account of the principles of social pedagogy and the profession and education of social pedagogues. There follow descriptions of pedagogy practice, accompanied by examples of government statements (focused on England) that are compatible with these. The article goes on to consider examples where social pedagogy has been introduced into English and Scottish children’s services, drawing on Claire Cameron’s overview of evaluations of demonstration and pilot projects. These evidence some congruence between the practice reported – and its effects – and the recommendations of government on promoting wellbeing. Finally, the article considers the conditions necessary for the continuing growth of social pedagogy, and social pedagogic approaches in the UK.

Grenzenlose Mobilität und fließender Verkehr: Eine kritische Sprachreflexion
Authors: Caviola Hugo , Sedlaczek Andrea Sabine
Published: October 2020

Sprache prägt unser Denken und Handeln.Mobilität erscheint uns als immaterielles (Konsum-)Gut, das grenzenlos verfügbar ist und mit dem wir verschwenderisch umgehen können. Und wir erwarten, dass der Verkehr fließt, sonst haben wir ein Problem. Beide Sprechweisen machen für den Ressourcenverbrauch, der mit Mobilität und Verkehr einhergeht, blind. Für einen suffizienten Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen brauchen wir einen Mobilitätsbegriff, der etwa das Bleiben am Ort positiv beleuchtet, und einen Verkehrsbegriff, der Verkehr nicht länger als Naturphänomen versteht, sondern als menschengemacht.This article provides evidence from the perspective of discourse linguistics that the key concepts of mobility and traffic promote non-sufficient thinking and action. The extensive use of these terms in journalism and politics triggers an understanding of mobility as an immaterial consumer good available in unlimited quantities and of traffic as a force of nature. Both metaphorical frames blind us to the use of resources engendered by mobility and traffic. The article suggests using these terms in a more conscious manner and provides alternative metaphors.

Clandestine Transmission: Rosenzweig and Arendt
Authors: Zawisza Rafał
Published: October 2020

The text deals with the question whether Hannah Arendt was influenced by Franz Rosenzweig’s Der Stern der Erlösung (1921) before writing Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin (1929). Instead of building general analogies, I studied two very specific topics – the world and birth – to demonstrate that Arendt repeated almost verbatim Rosenzweig’s entire peculiar argumentation which played the notions of God and nature against each other to combat their overwhelming power and to make room for the contingency of the world and the novelty of each birth. Facing the helplessness of a philosophy which ignored mortality, Rosenzweig cried out the lament of the finite being. Philosophy, with its predilection for totality, lost adequate proportions to reflect on life. Arendt revived this paradigmatic reorientation, but with a significant twist: for her, birth and the world meant more than God for Rosenzweig. Both thinkers projected a language between philosophy and theology, inciting the two idioms to a fruitful debate.
Zagadnienie myślenia i odpowiedzialności w filozoficznej refleksji Hannah Arendt
Authors: Szary Stefan
Published: October 2020

The problem of responsibility became, particularly in the second half of the twentieth century, one of the most important subjects of philosophical reflection. Many thinkers, including Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Lévinas, Karl Jaspers and Hans Jonas, expressed their views about it. The evil of totalitarian systems became the main experience triggering discussion about responsibility. The reflection included in Hannah Arendt’s works is an important voice in the debate and it remains up-to-date despite the passage of time. Arendt demonstrated the multidimensional and dramatic character of responsibility by presenting the meanings of vita contemplativa and vita activa in reference to every person’s existence. The thinker was searching for the answer to the question about the essence of responsibility. Today, she still introduces the readers of her works and the listeners of numerous interviews she gave to a more profound understanding of responsibility-related experiences. In my humble opinion, the greatest value of philosophical interpretation of Hannah Arendt’s works is the fact that they still remain constructive reflections. Their influence is not limited to shaping one’s mind only. It goes deeper and develops our attitudes, including the attitude to properly understood responsibility.
Korzenie i źródło. Hannah Arendt i Roger Scruton o genezie totalitaryzmu (w Conradowskim kontekście)
Authors: Ratajczak Wiesław
Published: October 2020

The three authors’ community of thought can be noticed in the analysis  of their attitude towards the Nietzschean concept of ressentiment. Arendt observed the ressentiment and contempt of educated people towards society that grew since the mid-eighteenth century. In Conrad’s prose, a specific culmination of such emotions can be found in the character of the Professor in The Secret Agent novel. Scruton understood a totalitarian state as an institutionalised form of executing ressentiment. Another crucial common point of reference for the three authors was the issue of authority.Scruton reminded us that society exists thanks to authority. The opposite of ressentiment seems to be affirmation, while revolutionary aims of radicalrevaluation can be contrasted with conservatism as a philosophy of attachment to what is valuable. One can understand Conrad’s concept of loyalty as such.
Między reformami a zmianą systemową w ZSRR/FR
Authors: Stępień-Kuczyńska Alicja
Published: October 2020

W artykule autorka stawia tezę, że w latach pieriestrojki, a następnie pierwszego etapu istnienia Federacji Rosyjskiej, nie zaistniały warunki gospodarcze, społeczne i polityczne dla budowy demokracji. Przyczyny tego stanu rzeczy autorka upatruje w źle przeprowadzonych reformach ekonomicznych, słabości instytucji systemowych, braku konsensusu elit. Istotny, okazał się wysoki poziom inercji społeczeństwa, zwłaszcza po nieudanych reformach pieriestrojki i rozpadzie państwa. Otoczenie międzynarodowe początkowo wspierało, głównie deklaratywnie pieriestrojkę Gorbaczowa, jednakże w wyniku naruszania standardów demokracji przez Jelcyna i jego ekipę, nie sprzyjało w sposób efektywny, procesom demokratyzacyjnym w tym państwie.
Controlling Horizontal Cell-Mediated Lateral Inhibition in Transgenic Zebrafish Retina with Chemogenetic Tools
Authors: Beckwith-Cohen Billie , Holzhausen Lars C. , Nawy Scott , Kramer Richard H.
Published: October 2020

Horizontal cells (HCs) form reciprocal synapses with rod and cone photoreceptors, an arrangement that underlies lateral inhibition in the retina. HCs send negative and positive feedback signals to photoreceptors, but how HCs initiate these signals remains unclear. Unfortunately, because HCs have no unique neurotransmitter receptors, there are no pharmacological treatments for perturbing membrane potential specifically in HCs. Here we use transgenic zebrafish whose HCs express alien receptors, enabling cell-type-specific control by cognate alien agonists. To depolarize HCs, we used the Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide (FMRFamide)-gated Na+channel (FaNaC) activated by the invertebrate neuropeptide FMRFamide. To hyperpolarize HCs we used a pharmacologically selective actuator module (PSAM)-glycine receptor (GlyR), an engineered Cl–selective channel activated by a synthetic agonist. Expression of FaNaC or PSAM-GlyR was restricted to HCs with the cell-type selective promoter for connexin-55.5. We assessed HC-feedback control of photoreceptor synapses in three ways. First, we measured presynaptic exocytosis from photoreceptor terminals using the fluorescent dye FM1-43. Second, we measured the electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave, a signal generated by postsynaptic responses. Third, we used Ca2+imaging in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) expressing the Ca2+indicator GCaMP6. Addition of FMRFamide significantly decreased FM1-43 destaining in darkness, whereas the addition of PSAM-GlyR significantly increased it. However, both agonists decreased the light-elicited ERG b-wave and eliminated surround inhibition of the Ca2+response of RGCs. Taken together, our findings show that chemogenetic tools can selectively manipulate negative feedback from HCs, providing a platform for understanding its mechanism and helping to elucidate its functional roles in visual information processing at a succession of downstream stages.
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers Rescue Memory Defects inDrosophila-Expressing Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Transgenes Independently of the Canonical Renin Angiotensin System
Authors: Lee Shin-Hann , Gomes Sarah M. , Ghalayini Judy , Iliadi Konstantin G. , Boulianne Gabrielle L.
Published: October 2020

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative disorder that causes progressive memory and cognitive decline. Recently, studies have reported that inhibitors of the mammalian renin angiotensin system (RAS) result in a significant reduction in the incidence and progression of AD by unknown mechanisms. Here, we used a genetic and pharmacological approach to evaluate the beneficial effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) inDrosophilaexpressing AD-related transgenes. Importantly, while ACE orthologs have been identified inDrosophila, other RAS components are not conserved. We show that captopril, an ACE-I, and losartan, an ARB, can suppress a rough eye phenotype and brain cell death in flies expressing a mutant humanC99transgene. Captopril also significantly rescues memory defects in these flies. Similarly, both drugs reduce cell death inDrosophilaexpressing humanAβ42and losartan significantly rescues memory deficits. However, neither drug affects production, accumulation or clearance ofAβ42. Importantly, neither drug rescued brain cell death inDrosophilaexpressing human Tau, suggesting that RAS inhibitors specifically target the amyloid pathway. Of note, we also observed reduced cell death and a complete rescue of memory deficits when we crossed a null mutation inDrosophila Acerinto each transgenic line demonstrating that the target of captopril inDrosophilais Acer. Together, these studies demonstrate that captopril and losartan are able to modulate AD related phenotypes in the absence of the canonical RAS pathway and suggest that both drugs have additional targets that can be identified inDrosophila.

Published: October 2020

The population of snow leopards (Unciauncia) maintained in US zoos is no longer sustainable due to poor reproductive success. Our objective was to assess reproductive traits in male snow leopards and identify factors (markers of oxidative stress in seminal fluid, surveys of husbandry practices, gonadal and adrenocortical activity, dietary intake of various nutrients, and genetics) that may affect ejaculate traits and subsequent fertility. Ejaculates (2.9 ± 0.2 mL) from 32 male snow leopards (9.8 ± 0.7 years; 38.6 ± 0.8 kg) housed at 27 institutions contained 119.2 + 26.0 x 106 spermatozoa, of which 75.1 ± 2.3% were motile and 28.6 ± 2.6% exhibited normal morphology. Overall, 34% of males produced <5 million spermatozoa and 27% of males produced spermatozoa with <20% normal morphology. Activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the seminal fluid was negatively correlated (P < 0.05, r2 = 0.90) with normal sperm morphology. Husbandry practices, mean concentrations of fecal androgen metabolites (fAM), and baseline concentrations of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGM), inbreeding coefficients, and generations each male was removed from the founders in their lineages were not correlated (P > 0.05) with the total number of spermatozoa or the proportion of spermatozoa with normal morphology. Total sperm count was positively correlated (P < 0.05, R2 = 0.86) with the weekly intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the proportion of spermatozoa with normal morphology tended (P < 0.10, R2 = 0.31) to be positively correlated with copper intake. Altering the nutrient composition of snow leopard diets could provide managers with a possible method of improving reproductive traits in this endangered species.

Lay summary

The population of snow leopards (Uncia uncia) maintained in US zoos has been declining since 1993 due to poor breeding success. Our objective was to assess the reproductive traits of male snow leopards and identify factors (e.g. hormones, diet, genetics) that may be affecting the quality of semen produced and therefore subsequent fertility. Within a cohort of 32 male snow leopards maintained at 27 US zoos, we found that 34% produced less than 5 million sperm and 27% of males produced sperm where less than 20% looked normal. The quantity and quality of the recovered sperm was not correlated with husbandry practices, concentrations of hormones (androgens and glucocorticoids) in feces, or genetics. However, the number of sperm was positively correlated with polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet. Altering the nutrient composition of snow leopard diets could provide managers with a possible method of improving reproductive traits in this endangered species.
Forest residues as a renewable source of energy: Elemental composition and physical properties
Authors: Nurek Tomasz , Gendek Arkadiusz , Roman Kamil
Published: October 2020

Forest residues are a potentially important source of renewable energy. They are generated as a byproduct of timber harvesting around the world. To optimize the utilization of such biomass, one must know its physical and chemical properties. This paper presents an analysis of comminuted forest residues from Pinus sylvestris L. They were classified into four size fractions for which three density parameters were established pursuant to relevant standards. The mean bulk density of the fractions amounted to 110 to 190 kg/m3, apparent density 725 to 908 kg/m3, and specific density 1111 to 1350 kg/m3. The findings were compared to the results of previous research on other forms of forest biomass. The measured apparent-to-specific density conversion coefficient was β = 0.64. The elementary composition of forest residues measured in this work differed from that of other biomass types described in literature. In terms of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and ash content, statistical analysis showed that the two compared types of biomass (forest residues and energy wood chips) formed two separate homogeneous groups, while both of these materials constituted one homogeneous group in the case of hydrogen content. The calorific value of the forest residues was 15.78 ± 0.39 MJ/kg.

Authors: Zhang Ying , Chen Hai-Tao , Liu Shuang , Rokayya Sami , He Yun-Yang
Published: October 2020

To study the influence of process parameter changes on the properties of raw material obtained from corn rind, a central composite design (CCD) methodology with four factors and five levels was applied to statistically optimize the parameters. The stalk size, soaking time, working temperature, and processing speed were selected as influencing factors. The available fiber ratio, initial beating degree, and fiber aspect ratio were chosen as indicators. Response surface analysis methodology was employed for optimization. The results showed that the optimal range of parameters were as follows: 8 to 13 cm for the stalk size, 18 h for the soaking time, 60 °C for the working temperature, and 98 to 112 r·min-1 for the processing speed. In this optimal condition, the available fiber ratio was higher than 95%, initial beating degree was greater than 11 °SR, and fiber aspect ratio was greater than 50. The results could be applied to design and optimize the D200 type stalk fiber preparation machine and the process of making raw material.
Understanding the effect of severity factor of prehydrolysis on dissolving pulp production using prehydrolysis kraft pulping and elemental chlorine-free bleaching sequence
Authors: Wei Wei , Tian Zhongjian , Ji Xingxiang , Wang Qiang , Chen Jiachuan , Zhang Gecang , Lucia Lucian A.
Published: October 2020

Prehydrolysis kraft pulping is an effective approach to produce dissolving pulp, which can be used for viscose application. The prehydrolysis process using hot liquid water could remove hemicellulose and loosen the compact cell wall, thus facilitating subsequent pulping and bleaching processes. In this study, the composite severity factor (CSF) was used to reveal the intensity of prehydrolysis treatment and its effect on the pulping and bleaching process by combining the temperature, time, and pH variables. Results showed that the optimum CSF was 6.61, which produced a pulp with α-cellulose of 92.3%, degree of polymerization (DP) of 1081, brightness of 85.1% ISO, and Kappa number of 0.61. In addition, the fiber quality, crystalline structure, and microstructure of pulps were characterized by FQA (fiber quality analysis), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and SEM (scanning electron microscopy).
Prediction of wood elastic strain development trend in conventional drying process based on GM-BP model
Authors: Gao Wanhui , Zhao Jingyao , Zhu Xiaodong , Zhou Dongyan , Guo Liangyan , Cai Yingchun
Published: October 2020

The elastic strain of wood reflects the nature (stretching or compression) and the magnitude of the drying stress at that time during the conventional drying process. The accurate prediction of strain is important to optimize the drying process and to improve drying speed and quality. In this work, the elastic strain was measured in real time, and moisture content was measured by periodic weighing during the drying process. Using these data, the GM (1,1) grey prediction model was used to predict moisture content in adjacent periods in the future. Based on the moisture content predicted by GM (1,1), a BP neural network was constructed to predict the development trend of elastic strain in the surface layer and core layer. The prediction results of the GM-BP combination model showed that the fitting error range of the prediction of the surface layer elastic strain was [-5×10-3~5×10-3], with a mean square error (MSE) of 2.31×10-7. The elastic strain of the core layer was [-2×10-3~2×10-3], and the MSE was 3.86×10-8. Thus, the GM-BP model achieved high accuracy for predicting the development trend of elastic strain. It can provide a new method and innovative thinking for the optimization and control of wood drying process.

El problema de la seguridad pública: una aproximación desde la teoría del Estado de Thomas Hobbes
Authors: Garcés Arce Giancarlo W.
Published: October 2020

Analiza el Estado desde la concepción hobbesiana y precisa que este tiene como principal objetivo garantizar la seguridad en la sociedad política, desplazando otras metas estatales como el bien común, la felicidad, la protección de las libertades, etc. que tuvieron relevancia en los proyectos flosófco-políticos de la tradición clásica y de no pocos flósofos contemporáneos. El Estado hobbesiano resulta mínimo con relación a una posible intervención en ámbitos como el social y el económico, pero expansivo respecto a las medidas para combatir la inseguridad. Propone que este Estado y los contemporáneos de orientación neoliberal están legitimados por su función policial en un escenario internacional marcado por el miedo y la inseguridad.

El estudio permite conocer cuáles fueron las ideas y presupuestos sobre los que partió para escribir su conocido ensayo.
El discurso del Amo en las cartas de amor de César Moro
Authors: Pacheco Quispe Jhonny Jhoset
Published: October 2020

Estudia una cartografía de tres temas que subyacen en la poesía de César Moro, específcamente, La tortuga ecuestre (1957) y Cartas a Antonio (1938-1939). En el primero, se analiza la «metáfora del amor» en la cual se establece la gestación del amor, y el discurso lírico amoroso de un amado, erómenos, hacia un amante, erastés. En el segundo, el concepto del «discurso del Amo», que muestra una jerarquización y subordinación de poder entre los actuantes, el Amo y el Esclavo, que genera diversas implicancias insertadas como eje de funcionamiento poético; a partir de ello, se menciona la idea de una gran carta literaria que quiso realizar el autor de Amour à mort, como se puede recoger e inferir en textos escritos durante el periodo mexicano(1938-1948). Finalmente, se analiza las Cartas a Antonio, sobre tópicos como la mimetización con la realidad, el pensamiento mítico, la destrucción del referente, etc.

La poesía de Vallejo: Ramón Collar, el Hijo del Hombre
Authors: Luque Rafael Florencio
Published: October 2020

El objetivo principal de este artículo de investigación es explicar el discurso humanista del poema “VIII Aquí, Ramón Collar”, del libro España, aparta de mí este cáliz, de César Vallejo. El humanismo presente es un sincretismo entre dos discursos aparentemente contradictorios por su naturaleza, pero complementarios en sus praxis: de la tradición cristiana, el amor al prójimo; y de la modernidad marxista, el amor al pueblo. Las categorías de interpretación son la retórica y la argumentación. El trabajo concluye en que el amor al prójimo tiene su máxima expresión de humanismo cuando el creyente Ramón dio su vida por los demás, como Jesús lo hizo por nosotros; de la misma forma, el amor al pueblo alcanza la cima del humanismo cuando el combatiente Collar no duda en luchar en la Guerra Civil española defendiendo la causa republicana.
Neural network models for phonology and phonetics
Authors: Boersma Paul , Benders Titia , Seinhorst Klaas
Published: October 2020

This paper argues that if phonological and phonetic phenomena found in language data and in experimental data all have to be accounted for within a single framework, then that framework will have to be based on neural networks. We introduce an artificial neural network model that can handle stochastic processing in production and comprehension. With the “inoutstar” learning algorithm, the model is able to handle two seemingly disparate phenomena at the same time: gradual category creation and auditory dispersion. As a result, two aspects of the transmission of language from one generation to the next are integrated in a single model. The model therefore addresses the hitherto unsolved problem of how symbolic-looking discrete language behaviour can emerge in the child from gradient input data from her language environment. We conclude that neural network models, besides being more biologically plausible than other frameworks, hold a promise for fruitful theorizing in an area of linguistics that traditionally assumes both continuous and discrete levels of representation.
Parental Food Beliefs on Pre-School-Aged Children in Kaski District of Nepal: A Qualitative Review

Published: October 2020

Background: This study explores food beliefs among poor mothers related to feeding their offspring. Mothers’ misconception of a healthy diet is one of the major causes of nutritional problems in preschool-aged children in Nepal and these beliefs and attitudes can result in the inappropriate feeding of young children. Objectives: The main objectives of this study were: • identify major barriers for recommending healthy food that are associated with existing cultures, religions and ethnic divisions; • assess the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about nutritious food amongst mothers; • assess health-seeking behaviour for children of low socio-economic status. Methods: Study used a qualitative focus group discussion. Fifty participants took part in seven focus groups to explore their food beliefs. The qualitative focus groups aimed to collect in-depth information around food beliefs and data were thematically analysed. Results: The study identified six key themes: (a) poverty; (b) knowledge; (c) policy; (d) beliefs about breastfeeding; (e) food beliefs: and (f) health-seeking behaviours/cultural influences. Many participants thought that illiterate and underserved populations are generally exposed due to financial scarcity, poor knowledge and strongly rooted in cultural practices, and beliefs. This study found ‘diversified views’ as a major barrier to food and health-seeking behaviours. Some groups recognised the negative effects of existing beliefs and taboos. However, the spiritual healers highlighted the importance of linking beliefs with cultural and religious norms and values. They showed the complex relationships between food and health-seeking behaviours and food recommendations with financial status and the perceived cultural practices of society.

Background: Early detection can decrease incidences of mortality related to cancer in India. Primary tests at detection centres (generally established in urban areas and mobile facilities), need to be followed by specialized cancer centric tests. This leaves a gap for discontinuation of diagnostic process. Other factors like the prevalence of Complimentary and Alternate medicine systems (CAM), availability of mainstream healthcare services, cultural and social beliefs need to be understood for new formats for diagnosis and treatment to be devised for minimizing delay in cancer diagnosis. Objective: This study was conducted in order: i. To understand role of various extrinsic factors in the development of cancer diagnostics and reason for adoption of CAM treatment strategies. And, ii. To develop a holistic understanding of these factors and their role in influencing delay in diagnosis of cancer in the Indian population. Methods: Through comprehensive analysis from a systems point of view, problems with systemic, economical, technological and socio-cultural factors emerged as reasons for slow development in the fight against cancer. Existing diagnostic and awareness dissemination networks are also analyzed for their strengths and weaknesses. Case studies on problems in early detection of cancer have pinned cognitive barriers like attitude, social practices and information to be the primary cause for low detection rates and high mortality. Interestingly, many studies point at “people’s attitude towards the disease” as a major bottleneck in adoption of mainstream medicine treatment. Results: This paper presents a review of multiple studies about factors influencing cancer diagnostics and treatment in India. Incorporating these factors, some postulates of a nascent model for development and recalibration of cancer diagnostic network are proposed. Cancer diagnostics involves tackling preconceived notions about cancer, challenging established sociocultural systems and reshaping social practices and people’s lifestyle. Public outreach programs (like camps, community events, ASHA workers and celebrity brand ambassadors) can be effective in changing attitudes in rural areas. Conclusions: CAM therapies are a group of traditional and modern medical practices that offer a pantheon of opportunities, however they can be dangerous to patients’ health if not used wisely. We support the suggestions made by other authors that an approach in integrative oncology may be effective for utilizing best of mainstream and complementary cancer treatment practices.

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a common zoonosis prevalent in many countries with grave economic consequences. Most developed and developing countries have implemented the test-and-slaughter policy to protect public health and reduce economic losses in the cattle industry. The official diagnosis of bTB is based on assays dependent on cell-mediated immunity (CMI). CMI-based diagnosis demonstrates diagnostic incapability at late stages of infection, which could be overcome by diagnosis based on humoral immunity (HI). Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify and define the B cell antigenome of Mycobacterium bovis. In this study, the B cell antigenome of culture filtrate proteins (CFP) was defined by mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology. Four spots were detected on 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) against M. bovis-positive serum in an immunoblotting experiment. Twenty-one proteins were identified in four spots by proteomic tools, such as Mb2900, Mb2898, Mb0448, Mb3834c, Mb1918c, Mb0134c, Mb0358 and Mb1868c, which are known B cell antigens, including 13 new proteins, i.e. Mb3751, Mb2006c, Mb3276c, Mb2244, Mb1164c, Mb2553c, Mb2946c, Mb1849c, Mb1511c, Mb1034c, Mb2616c, Mb0854c and Mb2267. These new proteins identified by 2-DE and immunoblotting were the B cell antigens used in developing serological diagnostic methods based on HI to bTB.
Improvement of the clinical signs of gait abnormality after treatment with levothyroxine in a horse with shivering and hypothyroidism

An 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding used for jumping was evaluated for gait abnormalities and hoof problems in the hindlimbs. Clinical examinations revealed signs consistent with shivers. A thyroid gland enlargement was noticed, baseline serum thyroid hormone (TH) concentrations were low, and a low response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone administration was observed. Hypothyroidism was suspected. The horse was treated with levothyroxine for 1 year. TH concentrations returned to the normal range by week 4 of treatment. Thirty weeks after the initiation of levothyroxine therapy, the gait abnormality improved. Our findings suggest that the assessment of thyroid status and especially of the subclinical thyroid gland disorders in horses affected with shivering, as well as evaluation of the effects of levothyroxine on the improvement of clinical signs could be promising in establishing the aetiopathogenesis and/or treatment of shivering in horses.
Changes in the expression of substance P in nerve fibres of the colonic mucosa in dogs suffering from inflammatory bowel disease

Due to its difficult diagnosis and complicated treatment, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in dogs is a challenge for the veterinarian. Several aspects connected with pathological changes during IBD still remain unknown. Since one of these aspects is the participation of intestinal innervation in the evolution of the disease, the aim of this study was to demonstrate changes in the number and distribution of intramucosal colonic nerve fibres immunoreactive to substance P (SP) arising as the disease progresses. SP is one of the most important neuronal factors in intestinal innervation which, among other tasks, takes part in the conduction of pain stimuli. Using routine immunofluorescence technique, the density of nerve fibres containing SP was evaluated within mucosal biopsy specimens collected from the descending colon of healthy dogs and animals suffering from IBD of varying severity. The results of the study indicate that during severe IBD the number of nerve fibres containing SP located in the colonic mucosal layer increases in comparison to control animals. The number of SP-positive intramucosal nerves amounted to 10.99 ± 2.11 nerves per observation field in healthy dogs, 14.62 ± 2.86 in dogs with mild IBD, 14.80 ± 0.91 in dogs with moderate IBD and 19.03 ± 6.11 in animals with severe IBD. The observed changes were directly proportional to the intensity of the disease process. These observations may suggest a role of this neuronal substance in pathological processes occurring during IBD. Although the exact mechanism of the observed changes has not been completely explained, the results obtained in this investigation may contribute to improving the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, as well as the staging of canine IBD in veterinary practice.

This study aims to describe the concept of Green Banking in the review of the Qur'an through the approach of Ijmali and Maudhu's interpretation method as its analysis knife. Content analysis is carried out on the verses that are specifically chosen on the basis of their association with the term fasad in the category of environmental damage namely Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 205 and Surah Ar-Rum [30]: 41. This is because the beginning of the concept of green banking emerged due to environmental damage ,. The research findings revealed from the two verses that it was found that the meaning of damage meant in essence was natural damage (both physical and non-physical) due to anthropogenic factors. Islamic banking in the provision of financing must prioritize projects that are pro-environment and pay attention to aspects of sustainability, both economic, socio-cultural environment or known as Triple P (People, Planet and Profit) with the principles of fairness, balance, benefit, economical and avoid the tyranny.

The article analyzes the basic existing methodological approaches to modeling the financial strategyof the enterprise. It has been noted that the Du Pont model was the first to be developed, based on a modified factor analysis in the direction of key reporting indicators. The main idea of the methodology of "sustainable growth" is in modeling the possible growth rate of the enterprise while maintaining financial stability.T.V. Heniberg, N.A. Ivanova, O.V. Polyakova proposed a combined approach based on a combination of theDu Pont model and the methodology of "sustainable growth". The Franchon-Romane matrix model is quitepopular. M.L. Dorofeev offers a three-dimensional system for evaluating financial decisions and introduces acomprehensive indicator of CRA as a variable component of the rating matrix. One of the most popular andused is the ADL/LC model of A.D.Little. As a result of the study, a scheme for forming the financial strategyof the winery according to an improved methodology was proposed. It formed the basis for formalizing therequirements for the financial strategy of wineries and presenting the stages of formation for it.
