1799 prospective teachers (596 males, 1203 females), enrolled in various departments (elementary school teaching and science teaching) in selected universities in Croatia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey, answered questionnaire on creativity styles. From the results of present study we can recognize that creativity potential of prospective elementary and science teachers is more on the adaptors’ side than on the side of innovators. The differences between prospective teachers, originating from different countries, study tracks and of different genders, even if statistically significant, are small (Cohen’s d below 0.2). From the perspective of the teacher educators it can mean that similar methods to enhance creativity can be used. Key words: creativity styles, prospective elementary teachers, prospective science teachers.

Published: March 2022

Capsicum (Solanaceae), comprising of sweet and hot chilli pepper, is a globally known spice crop. This genus is well known for its huge genetic diversity at intra- and inter-species level. Diversity among Akabarechilli landraces, a unique Capsicum from Nepal, has not been studied so far. The present study characterized thirty accessions of Akabarechilli using 26 qualitative and 21 quantitative agro-morphological markers at the experimental plots of National Genebank, Khumaltar, Nepal during the summer season of 2018/019. Using principal component analysis, the first- principal components with eigen-values more than 1 contributed 25% of the variability among accessions for quantitative traits, whereas the first principal components with eigen-values more than 1 contributed 22.2% of the variability among accessions for qualitative traits. These findings suggested a wide range of morphological variations among the tested accessions. Based on qualitative and quantitative traits, 30 accessions were grouped into 6 distinct clusters by Euclidian distance and average method. Accessions CO-11048 and CO-11050 under cluster-III were round shape fruit type and accessions CO-11044, CO- 11046 andCO-11047 under cluster-I were high fruiting with longer fruitbearing period and could be utilized for breeding purpose as these are the traits preferred by consumers or processors in Nepalese market.

Agro-Economic Productivity of Rice- Rabi Croprice Systems in Northwestern Drought-Prone Areas of Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman MM
Published: March 2022

Productivity and economics of different rabi crop-based systems were evaluated at farmers’ field in Durgapur upazilla of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh to select the best rabi crop(s) for fitting in the T. Aman rice - rabi crop – DDS Aus rice pattern. Nine rabi crops namely, (1) Mustard, (2) Potato, (3) Lentil, (4) Field pea, (5) Radish, (6) Cabbage, (7) French bean, (8) Carrot and (9) Tomato were cultivated during the rabi season in between the two rice crops to form nine cropping patterns. The experiment used Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Aman rice variety BRRI dhan57 was transplanted on 12 July 2017 and harvested on 28 October 2017, while, Aus rice variety BRRI dhan28 was sown in the dry cultivated land on 16 March 2018 and harvested on 24 June 2018 while rabi crops were sown/transplanted on 28 November 2017. Proper agronomic management practices were adopted for all the crops in the patterns. Data on yield and related attributes of DDS Aus rice were recorded at harvest. In addition, the yield of Aman rice and all the rabi crops were recorded. In addition, rice equivalent yield of each rabi crop, system yield (total yield of all the crops in the sequence), cost of production, gross return and benefit cost ratios (BCR) of all the patterns were recorded. Results revealed that yield of dry direct seeded Aus rice cv. BRRI dhan28 did not differ significantly due to different rabi crops grown under the respective patterns. The system yield was the highest in T. Aman rice –tomato – DDS Aus rice pattern (19.62 t ha-1) and the lowest with T. Aman rice -mustard – Aus rice pattern (14.63 t ha-1). Since the market price of a rabi crop changes from year to year, the net profit of a pattern depends on the yield of a crop grown in rabi season. Therefore, any of the nine rabi crops under the trial can be successfully cultivated in between the two rice crops under Aman rice – rabi crop –Aus rice patterns. However, the present study concludes that any of the nine rabi crops can be grown in between the two rice crops but carrot, French bean, mustard, field pea, and tomato could be the most profitable ones for the T. Aman rice – rabi crops –DDS Aus rice patterns.

Published: March 2022

Six maize hybrids; Khumal Hybrid-2, KML-5(A) × KYM-33, KML-8(A) × KYM-33, KWM-91 × KWM-93, KWM-92 × KWM-93, Super-951 were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at Bhotechaur (Sindhupalchowk), Mandan Deupur (Kavrepalachowk), and Khumaltar (Lalitpur), Nepal to identify stable and superior hybrids. Hybrids were found significant (p<0.01) for grain yield. The effects of environment and genotype × environment (G × E) interactions on grain yield were found to be significant (p<0.01). The combined analysis showed that KWM-91 × KWM-93 produced the highest grain yield (8.89 t ha-1) across all locations, followed by KWM-92 × KWM-93 (8.60 t ha-1), which was at par with each other. The hybrids; KWM-92 × KWM-93 (bi=0.84, CV=18.54%, SD=1.59) and KWM-91 × KWM-93 (bi=1.16, CV=22.37 %, SD=1.99) were found to be more stable, with regression coefficient (bi) nearly equal to unity (1) and grain yields above the grand mean yield. The GGE biplot revealed that KWM-91 × KWM-93 was the most responsive hybrid for Mandandeupur and Bhotechaur environments; whereas, KWM-92 × KWM-93 was for the Khumaltar environment. Hybrid KWM-91 × KWM-93 was the most stably yielding hybrid among all hybrids. This study suggests that KWM-91 × KWM-93 can be promoted for cultivation in mid hills of Nepal.

Ecuador: Efecto de la presión fiscal sobre la recaudación tributaria. Estimación de la curva de Laffer, periodo 2000-2020
Authors: Martínez-Quevedo María , Reyes-Mesones Katherine , Vega-Jaramillo Flor
Published: March 2022

Para Ecuador las recaudaciones tributarias desempeñan un rol preponderante dentro del financiamiento del Estado, debido a que dichos ingresos permiten sostener el gasto público gubernamental. Durante los últimos años las reformas tributarias se han encaminado a aumentar la carga tributaria con la finalidad de aumentar los ingresos impositivos, sin embargo, el incremento de impuestos según la teoría, no necesariamente permite obtener resultados positivos. Por tal motivo, el objetivo del presente estudio consiste en estimar el efecto de la presión fiscal sobre la recaudación tributaria, mediante la aplicación empírica y econométrica de la curva de Laffer, para determinar el punto de maximización de los ingresos fiscales en la economía ecuatoriana durante el periodo 2000 a 2020. Se aplican las metodologías de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO) y cointegración de Johansen y Juselius (1990) juntamente con un modelo de corrección de error. Los resultados son estadísticamente significativos y el signo de los coeficientes corresponden a la teoría, por lo tanto, se ratifica la validez de la curva de Laffer para Ecuador, de tal forma que, en el corto plazo el nivel óptimo de presión fiscal es 19,71% así mismo, los hallazgos encontrados a largo plazo y mediante MCO señalan que el punto óptimo de presión fiscal que maximiza las recaudaciones tributarias está entre 25,39% y 26,49%. Una implicación de política económica es que a corto plazo se puede aumentar la presión fiscal 0,21% y a largo plazo en promedio puede incrementar 6,44%. Dicho incremento debería estar orientado hacia los impuestos progresivos.

Bu malların elde edilebilmesi için gerekli olan meblağın temininde genellikle bireysel tasarruflar ön plana çıksa da farklı finansman yöntemlerine müracaat edilebilmektedir. Bu yöntemlerin başında konvansiyonel bankaların kredileri gelmektedir. Ancak dînî sebeplerle alternatif finansman yolları da tercih edilebilmektedir. Bunlardan biri olan tasarruf finansman sistemi (TFS), bireylerin temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak üzere biriktirmeyi hedeflediği tasarruflarını organize bir yapı içerisinde değerlendiren bir kurum olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Zaman içerisinde çok sayıda kişi tarafından tercih edilen bu sistemin fıkhi durumu çeşitli araştırmalara konu edilmiştir. Ancak bu çalışmalar 2021 yılında yapılan hukuki düzenleme öncesine aittir. Dolayısıyla işleyiş ile ilgili önemli düzenlemelerin yapıldığı yeni yönetmelik dikkate alınarak sistemin yeniden incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla kaleme alınan bu makalede, sistem hem yatırımcıların durumu hem de şirketin iç yapısı bakımından incelenmiştir.
A educação financeira no contexto da biopolítica e da governamentalidade
Authors: Santos Neivaldo Rodrigues dos , Christofoletti Rafael
Published: March 2022

A biopolítica é um termo desenvolvido por Foucault para designar um conjunto de práticas de controle gestão e da vida das populações, desenvolvido pelos estados, em sua maioria os neoliberais, como forma de estabelecer a governamentalidade, que por sua vez, necessita instituir as desigualdades sociais para a organização da racionalidade política. Neste cenário, a escola é um espaço para a consolidação dos interesses da elite como forma de perpetuar seu status quo. No caso do Brasil, percebe-se inúmeras manifestações de práticas biopolíticas na educação, como a proliferação de políticas educacionais seguindo a ordenação do mercado. Este texto tem por objetivo discutir a educação financeira a partir dos conceitos foucaultianos de governamentalidade e biopolítica como sociedade disciplinar que estrutura o controle de classe e de sociedade, visando sempre a manutenção da ordem e da moral. Trata-se de um recorte da dissertação de mestrado “Educação Financeira e Educação Menor: experimentações curriculares com uma turma de 9º ano em Ji-Paraná/RO”, desenvolvida junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Escolar – Mestrado e Doutorado Profissional (PPGEEProf), da Universidade Federal de Rondônia.

Published: March 2022

Eating behaviors arise from a combination of several factors namely, physiological, emotional, social and genetic, including the prevailing state of the environment that the individual has been exposed to from the commencement of development. Several factors are known to affect the control of eating behaviors, distinguishable by the synergism of the homeostatic and hedonic control mechanisms, which are complementary. While undeniably homeostasis is under the control of the hormonal interchange between the intestine and the brain, the desire to eat is focused on the brain reward system, which includes acquisition and addictions and binge eating. In today's world, the easy availability of processed foods, high in sugars and fats, which stimulate the reward areas, can flood the brain with neurotransmitters linked to pleasure and happiness. This often results in an uncontrollable desire to eat, technically termed hedonic hunger. A presentation of an integrated perspective of the mechanisms involved in the control of hedonic eating behavior is given. It is crucial to understand these mechanisms, particularly paying attention to the ways the modern food environment induces excessive consumption and its contributions to the present obesity epidemic.

O queratocisto odontogênico (QO) é um lesão cística intra-óssea, sendo um dos cistos mais comuns dos ossos gnáticos responsável por 3% a 11% de todos os cistos odontogênicos. Essa lesão apresenta altas taxas de recidiva, de 5 a 62%, e geralmente acontece nos primeiros 05 anos, e pode estar diretamente ligada ao tipo de técnica utilizada no tratamento da lesão. As formas de tratamento para o QO podem variar de acordo com sua apresentação clínica e imaginologica. Considerando as altas taxas de recidiva dessa patologia benigna apenas a enucleação pode não ser suficiente, então outras formas de tratamento adjuvantes são propostas como a crioterapia. Este relato de caso tem como objetivo apresentar o caso de uma paciente de 22 anos, que apresentou um queratocisto odontogênico (QO) em mandíbula do lado direito com diagnóstico em 2012. Foi realizado o tratamento cirúrgico de enucleação e tratamento adjuvante com crioterapia utilizando gás refrigerante. A paciente segue em acompanhamento por 10 anos, sem queixas e não apresentou nenhuma recidiva do cisto.

Authors: Oh Jin-Hee , Kim Gi Beom , Seok Heeyoung
Published: March 2022

Myocarditis was previously attributed to an epidemic viral infection. Additional harmful reagents, in addition to viruses, play a role in its etiology. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-induced myocarditis has recently been described, drawing attention to vaccine-induced myocarditis in children and adolescents. Its pathology is based on a series of complex immune responses, including initial innate immune responses in response to viral entry, adaptive immune responses leading to the development of antigen-specific antibodies, and autoimmune responses to cellular injury caused by cardiomyocyte rupture that releases antigens. Chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the myocardium eventually result in cardiac failure. Recent advancements in molecular biology have remarkably increased our understanding of myocarditis. In particular, microRNAs (miRNAs) are a hot topic in terms of the role of new biomarkers and the pathophysiology of myocarditis. Myocarditis has been linked with microRNA-221/222 (miR-221/222), miR-155, miR-10a*, and miR-590. Despite the lack of clinical trials of miRNA intervention in myocarditis yet, multiple clinical trials of miRNAs in other cardiac diseases have been aggressively conducted to help pave the way for future research, which is bolstered by the success of recently U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved small-RNA medications. This review presents basic information and recent research that focuses on myocarditis and related miRNAs as a potential novel biomarker and the therapeutics.

Background/Aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. While existing studies have examined cardiac remodeling in NAFLD, there has been less emphasis on the development of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke. We sought to conduct a meta-analysis to quantify the prevalence, risk factors, and degree of risk increment of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke in NAFLD.Methods: Embase and Medline were searched for articles relating to NAFLD, carotid atherosclerosis, and stroke. Proportional data was analysed using a generalized linear mixed model. Pairwise meta-analysis was conducted to obtain odds ratio or weighted mean difference for comparison between patients with and without NAFLD.Results: From pooled analysis of 30 studies involving 7,951 patients with NAFLD, 35.02% (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.36–43.53%) had carotid atherosclerosis with an odds ratio of 3.20 (95% CI, 2.37–4.32; P<0.0001). Pooled analysis of 25,839 patients with NAFLD found the prevalence of stroke to be 5.04% (95% CI, 2.74–9.09%) with an odds ratio of 1.88 (95% CI, 1.23–2.88; P=0.02) compared to non-NAFLD. The degree of steatosis assessed by ultrasonography in NAFLD was closely associated with risk of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke. Older age significantly increased the risk of developing carotid atherosclerosis, but not stroke in NAFLD.Conclusions: This meta-analysis shows that a stepwise increment of steatosis of NAFLD can significantly increase the risk of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke development in NAFLD. Patients more than a third sufferred from carotid atherosclerosis and routine assessment of carotid atherosclerosis is quintessential in NAFLD.
Black corals (Antipatharia) of the northern Red Sea: ancient predators of the mesophotic reef

Black corals (Antipatharia) are among the most common and diverse taxa in mesophotic and aphotic rocky habitats. Studies of their ecology and biology are limited mostly because of the technical challenges involved in deep-water work. Here, we describe taxonomic traits, habitat, and nutrition of 2 species from the upper mesophotic zone of the northern Red Sea, Gulf of Aqaba, Israel. Our study describes a broader distribution of the branched Antipathes griggi, which to date has been primarily found in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Additionally, a new record is reported regarding the coiled Stichopathes spp. discovered at the upper mesophotic zone. The branched A. griggi were more abundant than the coiled Stichopathes spp. in all explored sites, and differences in light and water flow conditions significantly affected their distribution. Both species lacked symbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae). Analysis of the amino acid compound-specific stable isotope signature (AA-CSIA) revealed that both antipatharian species show a high trophic position relative to known mixotrophic and heterotrophic corals. Although both species inhabit the same area and are planktivorous, their carbon signature suggests they have different carbon sources. Our findings imply that antipatharians have a vital role in the trophic dynamics of mesophotic coral ecosystems, a unique habitat whose ecology remains largely unexplored.
Optimal Wire Myography Normalization for the Rat Dorsal Penile, Internal Pudendal and Internal Iliac Arteries
Authors: Azeez TA , Andrade MR , La Favor JD
Published: March 2022

In functional arterial studies using wire myography, the
determination of a vessel’s standardized normalization factor
(factor k) is an essential step to ensure optimal contraction and
relaxation by the arteries when stimulated with their respective
vasoactive agents and to obtain reproducible results. The optimal
factor k for several arteries have been determined, however, the
optimal initial tension and factor k for the arteries involved in
erection remains unknown. Hence, in the present study we set
out to determine the optimal factor k for the internal iliac artery,
proximal and distal internal pudendal artery (IPA), and dorsal
penile artery. After isolating, harvesting, and mounting the
arteries from male Sprague-Dawley rats on a multi wire
myograph, we tested arterial responsivity to high K+-stimulation
when the factor k was set at 0.7, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.1,
and 1.2 to determine the factor k setting that results in the
greatest K+-induced active force production for each vessel type.
The data showed the optimal factor k is 0.90-0.95 for the dorsal
penile, distal internal pudendal and internal iliac arteries while it
is 0.85-0.90 for proximal internal pudendal artery. These optimal
values corresponded to initial passive tension settings of
1.10±0.16 - 1.46±0.23, 1.28±0.20 - 1.69±0.34, 1.03±0.27 -
1.33±0.31, and 1.33±0.31 - 1.77±0.43 mN/mm for the dorsal
penile, distal IP, proximal IP, and internal iliac arteries,
respectively.
Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) in the South African Banking Industry: Laying the Groundwork for Twin Peaks
Authors: Schmulow Andy
Published: March 2022

This article examines South Africa's ‘Treating Customers Fairly’ (TCF) regime, deployed as aspirational from 2011, and its development into a legally binding regime with the imminent enactment of the Conduct of Financial Institutions Bill. TCF is principles-based and outcomes-determined, designed to protect financial consumers and ensure they are treated fairly and enjoy consistently good outcomes from financial service providers. The article examines enforcement and investigates current gaps in success by reference to Ombud data. The findings will be of relevance to other African countries contemplating the adoption of a Twin Peaks financial system regulatory regime of which TCF is a core component.
Engendering Legal and Institutional Reforms to Ensure Access to Reproductive Justice for Women in Zimbabwe: A Case Study of the Mapingure Case
Authors: Maziwisa Michelle Rufaro , Durojaye Ebenezer
Published: March 2022

In many African communities, gender inequality remains the norm as women continue to live at the periphery of society. Women in Africa have continued to bear the greatest burden of sexual and reproductive ill-health. Women's access to reproductive justice is often restricted by the systems, institutions and legal frameworks that (should) facilitate reproductive justice. Thus reproductive justice should be viewed holistically, taking into account cultural, institutional and political barriers and the social environment in which women live. Using the decision in Mapingure as a case study, this article argues that attempts at legal reforms towards access to reproductive justice for women must put women at the centre and address structural and institutional inadequacies that perpetuate gender inequality. The Mapingure case illustrates that the mere existence of positive laws and institutions to enforce these laws is not a guarantee for women to secure access to justice in general and reproductive justice in particular. The article concludes that realising access to justice for women goes beyond creating an enabling legal environment but also modifying socio-cultural behaviour and attitudes that spread patriarchal and primordial hegemonic tendencies.
