The majority of a fish farm's overall operating expenses involve costs related to feeds. Commercial feeds are often too expensive for fish farmers. Consequently, farmers do use agricultural by-products and locally available fish feed ingredients to improve pond productivity and minimise cost. This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of solid-state fermentation on phytochemical components and proximate composition of millet bran meal for possible incorporation in fish feed production. Millet bran was collected in three different bowls, ground to powder, and then sieved and fermented using a solid-state fermentation procedure. Each sample was fermented (wet at 10% moisture and kept in a container at ambient temperature) for 24 hours (1 day), 96 hours (4 days), and 168 hours (7 days). Afterwards, the fermented samples were sun-dried for 94 hours (4 days approximately). Quantitative phytochemical screening was carried out on the samples which were analysed for proximate composition. The results revealed that fermenting millet bran for seven days (168hrs) using solid-state fermentation method reduced the alkaloid content from 14.69±1.24 to 10.12±0.16, phytate from 5.73±1.32 to 3.25±0.73, tannins from 6.62±0.53 to 4.62±0.84, oxalate from 17.78±1.65 to 13.82±0.53. However, it increases flavonoids from 11.95±1.82 to 13.08±1.35 and phenols from 23.78±1.65 to 31.71±0.62. The study also elucidates an increase in crude protein from 9.23±0.64 to 19.77±0.53 and a reduction in crude fibre from 7.41±0.52 to 6.02±1.14. This study demonstrates that solid-state fermented millet bran meal can be incorporated as an essential part of feed production.
Respuesta a la pregunta: ¿neobarrocos para qué?
Authors: Rossi María José
Published: June 2024

Pese a sus orígenes humildes (la perla berrueca) y de su anclaje al mundo del arte, el neobarroco puede concebirse hoy como dispositivo poiético-lector capaz de dar cuenta de realidades sociales complejas caracterizadas por la yuxtaposición y el abigarramiento, la ambigüedad y la equivocidad. Dotado de categorías, figuras y procedimientos que esquivan los modos tradicionales de comprensión, binarios y lineales, el neobarroco se vuelve llave epistemológica para la lectura de espacios y territorios (la villa, la feria, el taller, la fiesta, el templo) dados a la contaminación de sus elementos constituyentes. Aspira, de ese modo, a ponerse en pie de igualdad con otras corrientes que supieron llevar el sello de la emancipación de los plebeyos y el amotinamiento de los distintos, para dialogar con ellas.

Published: June 2024

t Diabetes mellitus, a significant cause of mortality around the globe, can result in several secondary complications, including diabetic foot syndrome, which is brought on by diabetic neuropathy and ischemia. Approximately 15% of diabetic patients suffer from diabetic foot complications, which results in high rates of morbidity and mortality of people with Diabetes mellitus. The study's objective is to measure serum levels of IL-37, IL-38 & IL-17A in diabetic mellitus (type 1 & 2) patients with and without diabetic foot ulcer complications and in the control group as well as the possibility of using them as early biomarkers for diagnosis of diabetic mellitus complications & future prevention. Overall, of 193 participants included in this case-control study, they were divided into three groups: the first one contains patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (29 with diabetic foot ulcer DFU+ 35 non-diabetic foot), the second group includes type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (41 with DFU + 38 Non). The third group includes (50) as apparently healthy controls. Serological techniques of sandwich ELISA did laboratory tests for specific serum human IL-37, IL-38, and IL- 17A. The study revealed that IL-37 and IL-17A levels were significantly high (P<0.01) in all diabetic groups compared to the control healthy group. The results of IL-38 show substantially higher levels of T1DM and T2DM (P<0.05) compared to the control group. In addition, the DFU group of T2DM illustrated higher levels of IL-37, IL-38, and IL-17A compared with other diabetic groups.
In conclusion, Iraqi DM subjects with and without complications had higher values of interleukins, IL-37, IL-38, and IL-17A, than healthy controls, which suggests an inflammatory state in these patients. In addition, the DFU of T2DM patients expressed higher levels of interleukins than other diabetic groups. This can be focused on using them as novel therapeutic targets for preventing and treating DM complications. As well as the possibility of using them as markers of inflammation and progression for complications in DM patients.

Published: June 2024

t The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the impact of the virus on pregnant women and their unborn babies. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the outcome of COVID-19 in pregnancy Studies have shown that the possibility of developing severe illness increased in pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women infected with COVID-19. They have higher rates of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Additionally, the risk of preterm birth has been increased in pregnant women infected with COVID-19, with several research reporting higher rates of preterm delivery among infected pregnant women. Cesarean section delivery rates are also higher among pregnant women with COVID-19, possibly due to the need for expedited delivery in cases of severe illness or fetal distress. However, the transmission of the virus from mother to fetus is rare during pregnancy or delivery. The virus is transmitted vertically from mother to fetus, with most infants born to mothers with COVID-19 testing negative for the virus. While vertical transmission is rare, there is evidence suggesting a potential impact of COVID-19 on fetal development. Some studies have reported cases of fetal growth restriction and abnormal placental findings in pregnant women with COVID-19. However, further research is needed to fully understand the long-term consequences.

Published: June 2024

As part of “Strong, Secure, Engaged: Canada’s Defence Policy” (Department of National Defence (2017) Strong, Secure, Engaged) released in 2017, the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) announced the creation and implementation of an access to innovation program to be called the “Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS)” Program. The IDEaS Program was introduced to support, increase, and sustain science and technology (S&T) community capacity external to DND that can generate new ideas and formulate solutions to Canada’s current and future defence and security innovation challenges. This paper will explore the design of this new business model through the delivery of the first proof of concept to have gone through the whole IDEaS cycle, in order to showcase the validity of this concept and processes. It also demonstrates that IDEaS has allowed a closer relationship with innovators and firms that had never worked with the defence industry, as well as the identification of novel solutions to a host ofproblems/challenges facing defence and security.

Published: June 2024

In this article, the author examines the impact of the war in Ukraine on the Russian economy, analyzes and forecasts some of the main factors. The relevance of the issue under consideration is due to the fact that the economic situation in Russia directly affects Russia's ability to continue the war in Ukraine. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze and forecast the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on economic processes in Russia. Despite the fact that officialstatistics are mostly classified or distorted by Rosstat, the analysis shows that the economic situation in Russia is getting worse. For the past six years, the Russian economy has been experiencing strong inflation, and in the current environment, inflationary processes have intensified significantly. Eventually, the Kremlin will face a problem: either to continue fighting in Ukraine, or to boost the economy, or to move to a large-scale money issue, which will lead to even higher prices. The National Welfare Fund has shrunk by almost a third and continues to shrink. That is, without additional investments of foreign capital, Russia will not be able to raise the economy and conduct military operations.The key policy rate was forecasted using neural networks based on the method of group consideration of arguments using the GMDH Shell program. The forecast shows that in 2023 the key policy rate may increase to 23%.The article shows how the national welfare fund of Russia has been reduced, and the federal budget expenditures are analyzed. The author gives the estimated expenditures of the Russian Federation for the first year of the war and the budget deficit. According to experts' estimates, an approximate figure of the need for funds to support combat operations in the current conditions is provided. The materials of the article are of practical value for analysts, economists and anyone who studies the Russian-Ukrainian war from the point of view of the economic component.
Complex modeling of complicated processes: analytical model parameters adaptation in solving qualimetric problems
Authors: Mashkin Olexander , Maslenko Svitlana
Published: June 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that despite the sustainable development of methods and technologies for creating models of various classes and purposes, the tasks of managing their quality (the so-called inverse problems of theoretical qualimetry) are often neglected. For example, in the field of information technology, much more attention is paid to assessing the quality of software products, which is reflected in the corresponding standards. These tasks become especially relevant when models reflect a complex process (CP), and such processes may be unique, and obtaining complete objective data on such CPs prior to modeling is difficult or impossible (accidents and disasters models, military operations, natural disasters, and others like that). The article’s main purpose is to consider the issues of solving the inverse qualimetric problem by parametric adaptation of analytical models to unpredictable possible changes in the complex processes’ nature. The solution to this problem is based on the combined (analytical and simulation) modeling of unique processes. Theoretical qualimetry involves a quantitative assessment of any product's qualitative properties; to ensure the adequacy level of analytical models (based on the results of their parametric adaptation), it is planned to evaluate with the use of well-known metrology principles regarding relative measurement deviations. In this case, detailed simulation modelling results are used as a reference for combined modelling. The complexity of the processes conditiond by the expediency of their polymodel description in order to mutually compensate for the objective deficiencies of heterogeneous models, as well as the use of simulation capabilities to adjust the parameters of analytical models in cases where the use of the latter is due to strict time constraints on obtaining calculation results and developing control actions based onthem. A variant of the formalized statement of the problem of parametric adaptation of analytical models is presented. A presented example that considers the adaptation of parameters of the Lanchestertype analytical model conducted on simulation data. The adaptation of parameters could be carried out in different ways, and the expediency of choosing a certain one is determined by the assessment of mutual deviations of the results of heterogeneous modeling. The results of the calculations witnesses that parametric adaptation can be an effective element in solving one of the key tasks of model qualimetry, namely, ensuring their required qualitative properties. The prospect of further research is to consider the issues of structural adaptation of simulation models to the given conditions for displaying complex processes.

Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Pemberian Sanksi Pelanggaran Kedisiplinan Guru Dalam Proses Belajar Mengajar Menggunakan Metode Elemination And Choice Translation Reality
Authors: Husna Aulia
Published: June 2024

Sanctions are actions (punishments) in order to force someone to follow the rules or to comply with the provisions of the law. The imposition of sanctions at SMKN 1 Lubuk Pakam is adjusted to the number of violations committed by the teacher by looking at the data that has been collected. Many problems occurred during the process of imposing sanctions, such as data on violations that were forgotten in the data, teachers who committed violations were not recorded because of family relationships or double data violations. This will give the impression that the sanctions are selective so that the sanctions given are not in accordance with the violations committed by the teacher. The solution that can be done to this problem is to build a decision support system to assist in sanctioning violations of teacher discipline in the on-target teaching and learning process using the method of elimination and choice translation reality. The results of this study can simplify and accelerate in determining the imposition of sanctions, so that this system can be used to assist the SMKN 1 Lubuk Pakam in making decisions to impose sanctions on teacher disciplinary violations in the teaching and learning process that are on target and are expected to overcome all weaknesses in determining the imposition of sanctions.

The size of the data stored whether it is stored on a computer or in cloud storage is one of the problems in the computer world. One of the best solutions to overcome this problem is to use compression techniques. In this study, the author uses Yamamoto's Recursive Code Algorithm to compress image files. Image files with bitmap (bmp) extension have a smaller size than those in jpeg format, this causes problems if the recipient's download speed is slow or the internet connection is unstable, information, information cannot be processed immediately because the data transfer time is too long. For that we need a technique to change the size of the data to be smaller . This technique is known as data compression. Data compression is a process of converting a set of data into a form of code to save the need for data storage. On this basis, the application of Yamamoto's Recursive Code Algorithm in Compressing Image Files is made in order to help computer users compress image files that are initially large into their smallest size.

Published: June 2024

Abstract Vitamin D has a crucial part in calcium metabolism & has been recognized for its involvement in processes including proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation. Recent research has indicated that a lack of vitamin D might cause detrimental alterations in the brain & may be linked to neuropsychiatric disorders. To determine the association among low vitamin D levels & the presence of OCD, & to assess the relationship among low vitamin D levels & OCD symptoms severity & the duration of the illness. Thirty OCD patients and thirty matched healthy controls was enrolled in the research. Information was gathered from individuals diagnosed with OCD who were between the ages of eighteen and forty. The participants' vitamin D blood levels were evaluated utilizing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test kit in the present investigation. This study demonstrates a considerable disparity in vitamin D3 levels between the patients and controls. Moreover, The prevalence of deficiency was greater among patients than controls, although the disparity was not statistically significant. We noted that there is a significant negative relationship among vitamin D3 with obsession & compulsion. We can therefore conclude that OCD is related with a deficiency in levels of vitamin D in the serum. Moreover, according to the current findings, there is no correlation among serum vitamin D levels, OCD symptoms, or severity.

Published: June 2024

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women and the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. The 5-year overall survival (OS) from BC has increased steadily in most of the developed countries. The incidence rates of BC vary worldwide, with high rates in North America, Northern and Western Europe, intermediate rates in South America and Southern Europe, and low rates in Africa and Asia. In Egypt, BC represents about 37.7% of total cancer cases among women. Gene amplification is a frequent device leading to the overexpression of oncogenes in human cancers. At present, the prognosis, classification, and treatment of BC are dependent on tumor histological grading, tumor stage, as well as 3 major protein markers: Estrogen receptor (ER), Progesterone receptor (PR) and Human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2). Despite the efforts to improve the effectiveness of the combination of surgical approach, radio-chemotherapy, endocrine-therapy, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-based targeted therapy, there is an immense clinical need for new therapeutic strategies and molecular targets.

Published: June 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a global public health challenge, with accurate case reporting being crucial for the implementation of effective control measures. In Semarang City, Indonesia, private healthcare providers play a pivotal role, yet the under-reporting of TB cases in this sector compromises the management and containment of the disease. This study investigates the factors influencing the under-reporting of TB cases among private healthcare providers and explores their consequences for public health strategies. The primary aim of this research is to elucidate the relationship between various determinants such as physicians’ knowledge of TB notification protocols, their commitment to notification processes, the availability of dedicated staff for notification, incentive mechanisms, and the notification format used, and the phenomenon of TB case under-reporting. Methods: Employing the Spearman correlation coefficient, this study evaluates the associations between the identified factors and the under-reporting of TB cases. The findings indicate significant correlations between under-reporting of TB cases and several variables: the physicians' awareness of notification requirements, their commitment to notification procedures, the existence of incentives, the appointment of designated staff for notification tasks, and the format of the notification system (Sig < 0.05). Discussion: The under-reporting of TB cases hinders accurate disease surveillance and timely intervention, thereby perpetuating transmission and increasing the risk of drug-resistant TB strains. The results underscore the necessity for targeted interventions aimed at enhancing TB reporting practices among private healthcare providers. Enhancing these practices is crucial for strengthening the overall TB control strategy and protecting public health.

A nova Portaria Conjunta do Ministério da Agricultura, IBAMA e ANVISA estabelece os procedimentos exclusivos para o registro de produtos microbiológicos para controle de pragas. Contudo, apesar de não fornecer dados ou protocolos de referência, exige-se que após o registro do produto, sejam realizadas análises a respeito da qualidade e estabilidade dos biodefensivos. Um protocolo preliminar foi desenvolvido com base em literaturas sobre estabilidade acelerada para cosméticos e produtos biológicos da indústria farmacêutica, usando amostras testes de um novo defensivo biológico e sem formulante, produzido em fermentação no estado líquido com o fungo Bouvera bassiana - IBC66 como princípio ativo. Os estudos prévios demonstraram que o tempo de prateleira do produto poderia ser de 28 dias em temperaturas entre 25 °C a 30 °C ou 48 dias caso o produto fosse armazenado sob refrigeração de até 5°C.

INFLUENCE OF PLASTICIZER ON RECRYSTALLIZATION PROCESSES DURING HARDENING OF DUODECALCIUM SEMIALUMINATE
Authors: Krivoborodov Yuri , Krivoborodova Svetlana
Published: June 2024

The mechanism of structure formation during hydration of duodecalcium semialuminate in the presence of plasticizer is considered. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of polycarboxylate-based plasticizer on the formation and morphology of the hydrate phases formed. The object of the study was the mineral duodecalcium semialuminate 12CaO-7Al2O3 of stable alpha forms, having cubic syngony and plasticizer on polycarboxylate basis. The structure of cement stone was studied using X-ray phase and electron microscopic analysis. The mechanism of structure formation during hydration of duodecalcium semialuminate 12CaO∙7Al2O3 in the presence of plasticizer is presented, which consists in the formation of finely dispersed poorly crystallized hexagonal crystals of calcium hydroaluminate. The presence of superplasticizer in the composition of hydrated calcium aluminate slows down the nucleation and growth of crystalline hydrates due to the film formed on the surface of the interface between liquid and solid phases, creating a structural and mechanical barrier, which leads to slower saturation of the liquid phase, but promotes the formation of a greater number of crystallization centers and simultaneous growth of small crystals of both hexagonal and cubic habitus.

El presente trabajo de investigación centra su atención en la lectoescritura y su influencia en el proceso de aprendizaje en el área de lengua y literatura. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar desde la perspectiva de estudiantes, padres de familia y docentes la influencia de la lecto-escritura en el proceso de aprendizaje de estudiantes tercer año de educación básica. La metodología empleada fue de carácter sociocrítico, con un alcance transeccional-correlacional porque se detalló las características importantes de la investigación mediante el análisis además que, se conoció la relación que existen entre las dos variables. Para la obtención de datos se aplicó instrumentos como la entrevista y la encuesta, los mismo que fueron validados por expertos en educación con el fin de cumplir los objetivos planteados. Los principales resultados reflejan un avance en el proceso de lectoescritura de parte de los estudiantes, mediante la aplicación de estrategias de aprendizaje como son la ruleta de sílabas, cuentos, dictado, trabalenguas, reglas ortográficas, etc., que permitirán alcanzar un nivel apropiado del 90% en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.

Род Begomovirus включает более 190 видов вирусов, являющихся вредоносными патогенами овощных и полевых культур. Широко распространенный в Европе бегомовирус желтой курчавости листьев томата (Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, TYLCV) является карантинным объектом для Российской Федерации, ЕАЭС и ЕОКЗР. Идентификация бегомовирусов до видового уровня сопряжена с определенными трудностями, обусловленными высокой идентичностью их генома. В статье приводятся результаты испытания 19 пар универсальных и специфических праймеров для диагностики бегомовирусов: вируса желтой курчавости листьев томата TYLCV, вируса желтой курчавости листьев томата Сардиния (Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus, TYLCSV) и Нью-Дели вируса курчавости листьев томата (Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus, ToLCNDV) методами классической ПЦР и ПЦР в реальном времени.
Gasto público y estado del bienestar
Authors: Corona Ramón Juan Francisco , Díaz Álvarez Amelia
Published: June 2024

Aunque la hacienda pública, entendida como una organización de la actividad financiera del sector público, en su doble vertiente de ingresos y gastos, se puede considerar tan antigua como los primeros estados organizados, se había orientado inicialmente al desarrollo y financiación de actividades relativas a la seguridad exterior, al orden interno, al sistema de justicia y a los gastos relativos al mantenimiento de la jefatura del estado. Fue necesario esperar a finales del siglo XIX, y con mayor precisión, a la etapa entre las dos guerras mundiales (fundamentalmente a finales de la última) para que hiciera su aparición el Welfare State, el estado del bienestar, tal y como lo conocemos en nuestros días. La intervención estatal ha sido especialmente relevante en: las pensiones y transferencias públicas; los servicios públicos en sanidad; la educación y otras cuestiones sociales; las normas de protección de trabajadores; los consumidores y ciudadanos en general; y las políticas orientadas a incentivar la creación y el acceso al empleo, tanto público como privado.

Objective: Reconstruction methods, including stent-assisted coiling, multiple telescopic stents, and flow diverters, are preferred modalities for the treatment of unruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs). We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between two reconstructive flow diversion techniques: single flow diverter (FD) device and multiple telescopic stenting (TS).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 39 patients with unruptured VADAs. Of these, 17 patients were treated with multiple TS and 22 with a single FD device. Aneurysm characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results: All aneurysms included in this study successfully achieved flow diversion, regardless of the treatment modality and duration. However, the mean procedure duration to complete the diversion was shorter in the FD group. Subgroup analysis in TS group showed that there were no significant clinical differences between the low-profile visualized intraluminal support and Enterprise stents, except for the mean procedure duration.Conclusions: Both the single FD and multiple TS methods showed excellent angiographic and clinical outcomes in the treatment of unruptured VADAs. However, single FD required a shorter procedure duration and was associated with faster achievement of complete flow diversion.
