Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) merupakan sektor usaha yang memegang peran penting dalam perekonomian Indonesia. Kabupaten Lamongan merupakan salah satu wilayah di Jawa Timur yang memiliki beraneka ragam UMKM. Kelompok UMKM terbesar di Kabupaten Lamongan berada dalam binaan PC Muslimat NU Lamongan. UMKM binaan PC Muslimat NU Lamongan telah mengalami perkembangan yang cukup pesat baik dalam hal omset maupun sebaran distribusinya. Meskipun demikian, potensi tersebut belum terekspos secara maksimal karena belum adanya sistem informasi yang mampu menghubungkan UMKM dengan konsumen dan supplier. Karenanya, dengan tema pengembangan program one village one product, Tim pengabdian Laboratorium Statistika Bisnis dan Industri ITS berupaya untuk menyediakan rintisan sistem informasi. Langkah yang dilakukan adalah melakukan survei potensi UMKM binaan PC Muslimat NU Lamongan. Berdasarkan hasil survei yang dikombinasikan dengan data yang dimiliki PC Muslimat NU Lamongan, dibuat sebuah sistem informasi sehingga bisa diketahui UMKM tersebut memiliki produk apa dan lokasinya berada di mana. Di samping itu, survei juga menghasilkan data tentang permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh UMKM binaan PC Muslimat NU Lamongan. Dua persoalan utama yang dihadapi UMKM tersebut adalah kemasan dan digital marketing. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, Tim Pengabdian mengadakan in house training bagi UMKM terpilih, tentang pembuatan kemasan dan digital marketing. Sistem informasi yang dibuat divisualisasikan dalam suatu dashboard yang memungkinkan konsumen dan supplier mengetahui keberadaan UMKM sesuai dengan produk yang dihasilkan dan bahan baku yang dibutuhkan

Planning and Delivering a Cooperative Maths Lesson
Authors: Barczi-Veres Krisztina
Published: February 2022

School education should not only provide students with content knowledge but also with effective skills that will be appropriate in their adult lives, such as the competence in solving problems individually or being able to work as a member of a team. Students should be active participants instead of passive listeners in their lessons. There is a wide variety of teaching methods that practicing teachers can choose from to make their lessons varied. The present article explains the outline of an experiment that was based on Spencer Kagan’s cooperative learning focusing on one particular lesson. The mathematics lesson was planned using cooperative teaching techniques and was taught in secondary mathematics education. We analyse how well cooperative learning can be used for improving participation and effective problem-solving in the classroom.

Authors: Namula Zhao , Le Quynh Anh , Wittayarat Manita , Lin Qingyi , Takebayashi Koki , Hirata Maki , Do Lanh Thi Kim , Tanihara Fuminori , Otoi Takeshige
Published: February 2022

Background and Aim: We previously developed the gene-editing by electroporation (EP) of Cas9 protein method, in which the CRISPR/Cas9 system was introduced into porcine in vitro fertilized (IVF) zygotes through EP to disrupt a target gene. This method should be further developed, and a combination of EP and MI methods should be evaluated in pigs. This study aimed to determine that a combination of microinjection (MI) and EP of CRISPR/Cas9 system could increase the rates of biallelic mutation for triple-gene knockout in porcine blastocysts. We targeted the pancreatic and duodenal homeobox1 (PDX1) gene using cytoplasmic MI 1 h before or after EP, which was used to edit alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) and cytidine 32 monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) genes in porcine zygotes.

Materials and Methods: We introduced guide RNAs targeting PDX1, GGTA1, and CMAH with the Cas9 protein into IVF zygotes (one-cell stage) through EP 10 h after the start of IVF (IVF; EP group) or in combination with MI (1 h before, MI-EP group, or after EP treatment EP-MI group) and evaluated the blastocyst formation rate and efficiency of target mutations in the resulting blastocysts.

Results: Our results revealed a significant reduction in the rate of blastocyst formation in the two groups that underwent MI before and after EP (MI-EP and EP-MI group), compared with that in the groups treated with EP alone (EP group) (p=0.0224 and p<0.0001, respectively) and control (p=0.0029 and p<0.0001, respectively). There was no significant difference in the total mutation rates among the treatment groups in the resulting blastocysts. As an only positive effect of additional MI treatment, the rate of blastocysts carrying biallelic mutations in at least one target gene was higher in the MI-EP group than in the EP group. However, there was no difference in the rates of embryos carrying biallelic mutations in more than 2 target genes.

Conclusion: These results indicate that although a combination of MI and EP does not improve the mutation efficiency or biallelic mutation for triple-gene knockout, MI treatment before EP is better to reduce mortality in porcine zygotic gene editing through a combination of MI and EP.
Prevalence of cardiac myosin-binding protein C3 mutations in Maine Coon cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Sukumolanan Pratch , Petchdee Soontaree
Published: February 2022

Background and Aim: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common heart problem that affects many cats. Although cats with HCM are symptomatic, some die suddenly or develop congestive heart failure. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of myosin-binding protein C3 (MYBPC3), A31P, and A74T polymorphisms in Maine Coon cats to assess risk factors for diagnosing HCM in cats.

Materials and Methods: Forty-nine Maine Coon cats of at least 10 months of age were enrolled in this study. First, clinical parameters, such as heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and echocardiography, were evaluated. Then, polymerase chain reaction, followed by DNA sequencing, was conducted using specific primers for amino acid substitutions caused by genetic variants of MYBPC3-A31P and -A74T polymorphisms.

Results: Investigations showed that the prevalence of MYBPC3-A31P and -A74T mutations in this study was 16.33% and 24.45%, respectively. Moreover, HCM in cats with MYBPC3-A31P and A74T mutations increased with age, body weight, high heart rate, and prolonged isovolumic relaxation time.

Conclusion: Therefore, we propose that Maine Coon cats develop HCM due to multiple genetic factors and underlying clinical characteristics in individual cats. Furthermore, relaxation time assessments can be a sensitive technique for HCM screening during its preclinical phase and can help identify the risk of developing HCM. However, further studies are warranted to evaluate the effect of MYBPC3 mutations on the phenotypic expression of HCM.
Linguo-Cognitive Essence of Relations in Dialect World View of Kuban Region Inhabitants (Based on the Example of Blood Relatives Microfield) (Part 1).
Authors: Kostina Lyudmila , Olga Borisova
Published: February 2022

The first part of the article deals with the description of the linguo-cognitive essence of blood relatives’ relations in the dialect world view of the Kuban region inhabitants through revealing some specific character of connotive content of Blood Relatives microfield representatives. The research is synchronous and diachronous, as well. As a result, it reflects the dynamics of some Blood Relatives microfield representatives and no development of others. Moreover, its ethnical identity consists of the grandparents :: grandchildren binary opposition, which is absent in the literary language. It is based on priority ranking (formed in the mind of dialect carriers) of time assessment in Cossack reference system. It reveals the dual nature of relations between grandparents and grandchildren in the Kuban sub-dialect carriers’ perception. And it discovers the dialect nominations which have no counterparts in the lexical-phraseological system of literary language and which demonstrate the conceptualization of corresponding notions in the mind of Kuban region inhabitants.

Authors: Косых Елена
Published: February 2022

One of historically established traditions adopted in society is the act of presenting an artifact by a person / group of people / organization / association to another person / group, etc. In the traditions of many nations, the communicative act of congratulating a person or donating them a memorable thing is accompanied by signing (inscribing) the gift. The article deals with the issue of classifying inscriptions – a dedication and / or commemorative inscription with an autograph – as a specific genre of written speech. The texts of the inscriptions have specific features textwise and genrewise. The article provides grounds for classifying inscriptions that have a variety of structural and semantic textual expressions. In the article, the characteristic features of the giver, addressee, and their social roles are determined, the generalized textual semantics of the inscriptions is specified, examples of gifts carrying such inscriptions are given.
The Peculiarities of Language Means and Speech Techniques of Manipulation in American Political Discourse (on the Example of D. Trump and J. Biden Presidential Debates)
Authors: Menshchikova Galina
Published: February 2022

Based on the material of the pre-election speeches of D. Trump and D. Biden during the first and last political debates in the United States in 2020, the article presents the results of the analysis of speech manipulation techniques, identifies similarities and differences in speeches, and identifies the features of their speech organization. The results of the study allow us to state that participants in American political discourse organize their speech in a special semantic, stylistic and semiotic way, which gives it an exclusively pragmatic character. In the course of the study, special attention is paid to such linguistic means as the use of emotionally expressive words and constructions with a negative assessment, “labeling”, etc., the use of the categories “friend or foe”, “I-we”, the purpose of which is to influence the consciousness and behavior of the interlocutor/audience to the benefit of the speaker.
Features of the Substantive Model of a Simple Sentence Functioning in Phraseology of the Modern Greek Language
Authors: Tresorukova Irina , Solovieva Alena
Published: February 2022

The article describes Predicative Phraseological Units (PPhU) of the Modern Greek language, built according to the substantive model of a simple sentence. The authors analyze syntactic and semantic characteristics of the PPhU and propose their classification. Functional-communicative theory is used as a theoretical basis for the study. This theory offers a complex approach to the sentence as a unit, which allows one to evaluate sentences with PPhU taken together their form, meaning and function and to draw conclusions about their place in the language system. Тhe article studies the attitude of the PPhU of the Modern Greek language to reality and proves anthropocentrism which is inherent in most examples; make a comparative analysis of free constructions and sentences with PPhU and note both common features and some significant differences, proving the duality and asymmetry of the nature of PPhU comparing to their not phraseological analogues.
Peculiarities of Abbreviation Functioning in the Lexical Group of Professional Denominations in German-Language Realities
Authors: Kozhanova Natalya
Published: February 2022

The article considers the phenomenon of "abbreviation" from the point of view of the functional peculiarities of its use in the lexical group of professional denominations. It is pointed out that the notion of abbreviation does not have a clear-out definition and, as a result, a unified classification. In this article the term "abbreviation" is used as a synonym of the word shortening. A special attention is paid to the shortenings of the initial type, among which the most frequent are three-component initials. The initial shortenings and the shortening of the first component of composites, both German origin and borrowed from English, were used as empiric material. In conclusion, the important role of the use of abbreviations in professional activity in Germany is pointed out. The proper use and understanding of abbreviations, primarily the borrowed ones, makes the professional communication easier, especially in the context of globalization.
Gastronomic Italianisms in Modern Russian Language (Synchronic and Diachronic Aspects)
Authors: Grigorieva Olga , Jingsheng Ni
Published: February 2022

The article examines the gastronomic vocabulary of Italian origin in the modern Russian language, clears out the linguistic, social and psychological factors that determined its introduction in different historical periods. Three lexical-semantic groups are distinguished basing on definition dictionaries and cookery-books: the names of food-stuffs, drinks and dishes, the etymology of the lexical units included in them is considered, the history of their origin is given, and a cultural commentary is provided in order to clarify the meaning of these words. Gastronomic Italianisms derived from proper names are of great interest. Special attention is paid to the words pasta and pizza. As the study shows, gastronomic Italianisms are actively used in the language of Russian fiction and modern advertising. The study of the functions performed by these words in texts of different stylistic slant allows us to better understand the mechanism of adaptation of such words in the modern Russian language.
The Image of Sea Maid in the Poetry of K.D. Balmont
Authors: Mamatov Gleb
Published: February 2022

The article is a complex case study of 23 poems presenting the image of the sea maid in lyric poetry of K.D. Balmont. The following conclusions has been made in the course of the works: the image of the sea maid tends to be frequent in love and erotic lyrics and is linked with decadence motives; many texts are permeated with characters of Slavic folklore, besides, it is important that some poems are poetical ‘renditions’ of famous epic songs and legends from Russian, Polish and Lithuanian folklore. Still most of the poems with folklore symbolism answer aesthetic views of the poet himself and are linked to his solar cult and his understanding of the sun as a universal creative principle, and to Balmont’s conception of beauty and harmony as a synthesis of opposed nature elements. The image of the sea maid is multifaceted in Balmont’s poetry, its development expresses the evolution of author’s worldview from typical decadence erotic and mortal motives aesthetic understanding of the nature of beauty and integrity of the world.
The Ideological Structure of V. M. Shukshin’s Short Story “Inscape”
Authors: Kulyapin Alexander
Published: February 2022

The story "Inscape" discussed in this article is associated both with the writer's works of fiction and with his epistolary and publicist speeches. The programmatic article “Questions to myself”, written in the same year as the story “Inscape”, raises a sensitive for Shukshin issue of the influence of urban, virtually philistine culture on the rural one. To his mind the problem is that the city drains various kinds of “cultural surrogate” into the village. The story “Inscape” goes about urban fashion designers who include a deliberately provocative element in the fashion show – a demonstration of a beach outfit. They seek to impose a philistine pseudo-culture on the village in the name of establishing modern uninhibited relations. Like many Shukshin’s characters of the late sixties and early seventies, the main character of the story “Inscape”, for whom the cynicism of the townspeople was unacceptable at first, eventually succumbs to temptation.
Between Modernity and Myth: Alexey Varlamov's Novel "The Dome»
Authors: Ilya Nichiporov Ilya
Published: February 2022

The article considers the artistic worldview in A. Varlamov's novel "The Dome" (1999). The author of the article clarifies the place of this novel in the writer's works, the balance of the confessional-autobiographical discourse with the mythopoetic thinking characteristic of the writer himself and the central character-the intellectual. The representation of the province and Moscow of the late Soviet and "perestroika" time is analyzed as well as the heterogeneous university environment ranging from the auditorium to the dormitory and informal youth movements. Special attention is given to the study of the semantics and structure of the urban topos of Chagodai, its specific historical and mythological origins and meanings. Utopian models of the Dome, the Kingdom of God on Earth are considered in detail from the perspective of the author's image, the life experience of the central character, public life collisions of the frontier time. Conclusions are drawn about the prophetic nature of this work, where the artistically recreated realities of the end of the previous century serve as the basis for anxious forebodings about the prospects for the the life in the country in the coming decades.

COVID 19 in a family with rare genetic disease of the nervous system
Authors: Martynov M. Yu. , Kutashov V. A. , Ulyanova O. V.
Published: February 2022

We present familial tuberous sclerosis (TS) case complicated by COVID-19. COVID-19 aggravates the course of TS and may lead to a fatal outcome. We review the role of mTORC1 (mechanistic/mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1) in the development and functions of the nervous system and the pathogenesis of TS and COVID-19 with emphasis on the involvement of the brain and lungs. We observed that COVID-19 worsens the course of epilepsy in patients with TS. In TS patients, lymphangioleiomyomatosis may predispose to SARS-CoV-2 invasion into the respiratory system because of the increased expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in type II pneumocytes and thus may worsen the prognosis. We also review the current data on the continuation/termination of everolimus administration in patients with TS associated with COVID-19.

Rozważania nad dopuszczalnością pełnienia funkcji sołtysa przez duchownego Kościoła Katolickiego
Authors: Pańczyk Filip
Published: March 2022

This article is an analysis of legal admissibility of performing the office of a village administrator by a catholic priest. Despite the fact that this theme has already been a subject of doctrine’s interest, this study distinguish itself from other studies because it is based on a case that took place in practice. That means, obviously, a choice of the Archbishop Sławoj Leszek Głódź for a village administrator of Piaski. Considerations are conducted from three perspectives – commonly applicable law, The Concordat itself and the canonic law. Comparative legal perspective provides a citation of relevant regulations existing in chosen countries. There are also introduced regulations referring to the status of a village administrator in Polish legal order. Conducted considerations allow to conclude that in spite of the fact that Polish commonly applicable law and the Concordat itself strongly emphasize the principle of autonomy and mutual independence of the state and churches and other religious unions, they do not provide for a prohibition of taking over public offices by priests. This case is differently regulated by the Code of Canon Law which directly forbids priests to execute offices connected with performing of public authority. Such offices should involve office of a village administrator, what determines the inadmissibility of performing the office of village administrator by catholic priest.
2022 Canadian resource guides for individuals and families affected by primary immunodeficiency
Authors: Shama Wendy
Published: February 2022

A diagnosis of immunodeficiency can be challenging for families as they navigate the emotional impact of this diagnosis, as well the potential financial burden of treatment. As is the case with many rare diseases, there existed a paucity of information for families looking for appropriate resources related to their diagnosis. The Primary Immunodeficiency Social Work Network was established in 2011 by Immunodeficiency Canada to develop a network of social workers across Canada who work with patients diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency. This network has had a focus on support programs, education, and research. Resource guides were created by the network with the goal of providing comprehensive support and information on resources available for families and individuals affected by primary immunodeficiency in each province as well as those available nationally.

Statement of Novelty: National and provincial resources guides, reviewed and updated yearly, have been created for families and individuals affected by primary immunodeficiency.
Arrowian Social Equilibrium: Indecisiveness, Influence and Rational Social Choices under Majority Rule
Authors: Borah Abhinash , Garg Raghvi , Singh Nitesh
Published: February 2022

We introduce the concept of an Arrowian social equilibrium that inverts the schemata of the famous impossibility theorem of Arrow (1950. “A Difficulty in the Concept of Social Welfare.” Journal of Political Economy 58 (4): 328–46) and captures the possibility of aggregating non-rational individual preferences into rational social preferences while respecting the Arrowian desiderata. Specifically, we consider individuals whose preferences may not be complete and who, accordingly, may be indecisive when faced with an issue. Breaking with tradition, we consider the possibility of such individuals drawing on their beliefs about society’s preferences that result from the aggregation process to resolve their indecisiveness. Formally, individual choices are modeled as a rational shortlist method (Manzini and Mariotti 2007. “Sequentially Rationalizable Choice.” The American Economic Review 97 (5): 1824–39), with own preferences followed by society’s as the pair of ordered rationales. This results in a mutual interaction between individual and social choices. We study this interaction using majority rule as the aggregator, with an Arrowian social equilibrium specifying how individual and social choices are co-determined, while requiring the latter to be rational. Our main result identifies minimal levels of societal indecisiveness needed to guarantee the existence of such equilibrium.
Informatic analysis of the pulmonary microecology in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis at three different stages
Authors: Wang Yuchao , Chen Ying , Wu Chao , Yang Xiaohong
Published: March 2022

This study explored the impact of pulmonary microecological changes on disease progression in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (nCFB). A careful search of the NCBI BioProject database revealed the 16S rRNA-based microbiological testing results of 441 pulmonary sputum samples from patients in the relatively stable (baseline), acute exacerbation, or recovery stage. After preliminary analysis and screening, we selected 152 samples for further analyses, including determination of the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) distribution at the phylum, class, order, family and genus levels, community structure, alpha diversity, beta diversity, microbial multivariables, correlations, and community structure after the abundances of intragroup samples were averaged. The recovery group showed significant differences in pulmonary microbiological changes (P < 0.05) compared with the other groups. There were 30 differentially abundant OTUs, with 27 and 7 at the genus and phylum levels, respectively. The Chao1 value of the recovery group was comparable to that of the baseline group, and the Shannon and Simpson values of the recovery group were the highest. Rhodococcus in Actinobacteria was positively correlated with Ochrobactrum in Firmicutes. The differences in pulmonary microecological changes at different nCFB stages may serve as a biologically predictive indicator of nCFB progression.
First report of any species of the red algal order Nemaliales from mainland Ecuador: Neoizziella asiatica (Liagoraceae, Rhodophyta)
Authors: Williamson Bo , Gabrielson Paul W. , Brandt Margarita
Published: February 2022

The benthic marine algae of the mainland coast of Ecuador are poorly known mainly due to a lack of collections. Currently, DNA barcoding is the preferred method to identify species of benthic marine algae worldwide, as morpho-anatomical characters are inadequate to distinguish many species of macroalgae. We used the red algal barcode rbcL-3P to identify specimens collected in January 2020 from Manabí, Ecuador as Neoizziella asiatica. This is the first member of the red algal order Nemaliales to be reported from the mainland coast of Ecuador and extends the distribution of this alga by 1,100 km to the south from Panama.
Functionalization of Low Density Polyethylene with Ricinol-2-oxazoline Methyl Maleate in a Twin-screw Extruder
Authors: Jeziórska R.
Published: March 2022

The grafting reaction of ricinol-2-oxazoline methyl maleate onto molten low density polyethylene was investigated in a twin-screw extruder. The influence of peroxide content, added ricinol-2-oxazoline methyl maleate and process variables such as residence time, screw speed and reaction temperature were considered. The rate and level of grafting were quantitatively measured by FTIR technique. Maximum level of grafting at constant peroxide content was obtained when concentration of ricinol-2-oxazoline methyl maleate reached 3%, above which it declined. The rate of grafting increased with increasing peroxide content. However crosslinking of polyethylene was found to have taken place as parallel competitive reaction which was intensified with increasing peroxide content. It was demonstrated that it is possible to make an optimization of the grafting reaction on the basis of experimental results. The considerable grafting yield with acceptable melt flow rate for the samples was achieved when initial ricinol-2-oxazoline methyl maleate and peroxide concentrations were 2 to 3% and 0.06 to 0.1 %, respectively.
Modelling of Phase Transitions and Residual Thermal Stress of CTBN Rubber Modified Epoxy Resins during a Pultrusion Process
Authors: Calabrese L. , Valenza A.
Published: March 2022

The implicit finite difference and fourth order Runge-Kutta method are used both to solve the heat transfer problem in the pultrusion reaction and to calculate the temperature and conversion distributions within a thermoset composite profile. The aim of our work is to study the influence of a rubbery phase added to the epoxy matrix in production conditions. The results have shown that the rubber modified systems have a low exothermic temperature peak value, so that neither the amount of cured resin nor the final product properties are limited.

First of all we will show that the phase transition (gelation and vitrification) zones within the die change as the amount of rubber varies in the resin. The relationship between the position and of these zones and the resin systems will be discussed. We calculate the residual thermal stresses for all the investigated fibre/resin systems, showing a reduction when the rubber amount increases in the epoxy blend.
Challenges of sampling and how phylogenetic comparative methods help: with a case study of the Pama-Nyungan laminal contrast
Authors: Macklin-Cordes Jayden L. , Round Erich R.
Published: February 2022

Phylogenetic comparative methods are new in our field and are shrouded, for most linguists, in at least a little mystery. Yet the path that led to their discovery in comparative biology is so similar to the methodological history of balanced sampling, that it is only an accident of history that they were not discovered by a linguistic typologist. Here we clarify the essential logic behind phylogenetic comparative methods and their fundamental relatedness to a deep intellectual tradition focussed on sampling. Then we introduce concepts, methods and tools which will enable typologists to use these methods in everyday typological research. The key commonality of phylogenetic comparative methods and balanced sampling is that they attempt to deal with statistical non-independence due to genealogy. Whereas sampling can never achieve independence and requires most comparative data to be discarded, phylogenetic comparative methods achieve independence while retaining and using all comparative data. We discuss the essential notions of phylogenetic signal; uncertainty about trees; typological averages and proportions that are sensitive to genealogy; comparison across language families; and the effects of areality. Extensive supplementary materials illustrate computational tools for practical analysis and we illustrate the methods discussed with a typological case study of the laminal contrast in Pama-Nyungan.

Corn cob and tea leaves waste are used as raw materials for condensed phenolic structures. In this study phenolics were extracted from these waste materials, characterized, and modified to obtain surface active materials. The phenolic structures of corn cob were HGS-type lignin with 10% by mass of initial dry weight, while of tea waste were condensed tannin with catechin-like fragments with 15% by mass. Hydroxymethylation reactions were carried out to increase the reactive sites and also the water solubility. The phenolics of the corn cob were hydroxymethylated to a higher rate than the phenolics of the tea leaves waste (85 vs. 48%). Subsequent modification with maleic anhydride was carried out at a rate of about 40% for both types. Visual determinations indicated that all the materials obtained behaved like non-ionic surfactants. However, sulfonation of tannin structure (at a rate of 40%) resulted in an anionic surfactant structure, as expected.

Froth stability is an important factor in determining flotation yield, and one of the factors affecting froth stability is dependent on the concentration and type of surfactant. Since detergents contain different types of surfactants, it is possible that they affect the froth stability (together with the frothing agent and the collector) and consequently the flotation yield. Therefore, the effect of detergents containing lauryldimethylamine oxide and sodium laureth sulphate was investigated in this study. The results showed that the addition of detergents increased the froth stability by more than 30% and 45% in terms of froth formation and froth decay, respectively. The flotation tests also showed that the addition of detergents increased the sulphur content of the concentrate by about 0.7%.

The effect of three handheld ultrasonic devices for the pretreatment of stains on textiles was evaluated under household conditions. Twenty soiled textiles were treated and the mean increase of lightness ΔL* of the soiled textiles was used as a measure for the cleaning effect. It was shown that the combination of a pretreatment and a washing cycle at 20 °C yields a higher mean increase of lightness, ΔL* = 19.5, compared to a 40 °C washing cycle without pretreatment, ΔL* = 15.3. The effect is most pronounced for mixtures consisting of oily soils with pigments, ΔL* = 25.1. During the pretreatment, the soil was soaked in a detergent solution and the effect of soaking was measured separately.
Interactions among forest enterprises: Do they compete or cooperate with sales by auction on log prices?
Authors: Kaya Güven , Ok Kenan
Published: March 2022

A few studies on log auction sales have addressed competition and cooperation among seller enterprises. Interactions among state forest enterprises in the same or neighboring regions have been neglected. This study aimed to determine the extent of competitive and cooperative relationships among forest enterprises (FEs) in relation to the prices of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), and fir (Abies sp.) log sales by auction. The study investigated log sales between 2017 and 2018 conducted by 26 FEs in Turkey. Competitive and cooperative relations among FEs, based on auction time, volume and prices, were tested via correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that an FE may display competitive or cooperative relationships with other FEs, regardless of whether or not such FEs are border neighbors. We determined that an FE may compete with another FE in one log type, while cooperating in another wood type. Our study shows that log sales revenues of some FEs can be increased by changing the length of time between the sales of two FEs, by not holding the sales of two FEs on the same day, and by differentiating the volume of rival and complementary wood types. Our study found that better management of competition and solidarity between forest enterprises would help create more financial resources for sustainable forest management without having to harvest more trees.

Introduction: Chest pain in children and adolescents is an important symptom in the pediatric emergency clinic. The aim of this study is to assess the characteristics of chest pain and cardiovascular surgery in the pediatric population.
Materials and methods: There were 352 children who presented with chest pain to the pediatric emergency department between December 2007 and February 2017. These children were included in this study, which is a retrospective observational study.
Results: Among the 352 patients, six patients (1.7%) underwent cardiovascular surgery. Forty-eight patients (13.6%) were diagnosed with cardiac disease, and the most common cardiac causes were myocarditis and pericarditis.
Conclusion: Only six patients (1.7%) who were admitted to the emergency department with chest pain needed cardiovascular surgery. The chest pain in children required less surgery, and mortality and morbidity were lower compared with adult cardiac chest pain.

Published: March 2022

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch and an anatomical interruption of the lumen between the ascending and descending aorta. Computed tomography (CT) has become a reliable noninvasive diagnostic method for congenital IAA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the imaging features of IAA and improve the understanding and diagnosis of the disease. The imaging features and postoperative pathological data of 25 patients with IAA confirmed by dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography were analyzed in this retrospective study.
Among the 25 patients with IAA, 15 were type A, seven were type B, 0 were types C and D, and two were type E. The diameter of the pulmonary artery trunk in type A was larger than that in type B (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between types A and B along the ascending aorta diameter, descending aorta, ascending aorta/descending aorta ratio, left pulmonary artery main trunk diameter, right pulmonary artery main trunk diameter, left pulmonary artery trunk/pulmonary artery trunk ratio, right pulmonary artery trunk/pulmonary artery trunk ratio, and left pulmonary artery trunk/right pulmonary artery trunk ratio. The imaging findings of IAA have typical and specific signs, and the types of IAA are not comprehensive. One type of patient identification can be added: Patients who are dissected between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery opening, and the descending aorta is circulated by the chest collaterals. Patients with a wide pulmonary artery in the IAA are usually type A patients. Patients with IAA after surgical repair require lifetime follow up, mainly to monitor left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and recurrent aortic coarctation.
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Kunming Yan'an Hospital (Kunming City, Yunnan Province, China), and consent was waived because of the retrospective data collection.

Published: February 2022

Aim of the study. To evaluate the risk factors for the occurrence of intramuscular hematomas in patients with severe coronavirus infection receiving anticoagulant therapy.

Materials and methods. Intramuscular hematomas in five patients with severe COVID-19 disease are reported in the paper. The criteria for selecting patients for the study included respiratory distress requiring oxygen, radiographic signs of severe pneumonia, anticoagulant therapy using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), and spontaneous intramuscular hematoma. Clinical manifestations, blood coagulation results, conservative and surgical management were analyzed.

Results. Standard regimen anticoagulation therapy in patients with coronavirus infection requires vigilance because of a risk of development of hemorrhagic complications.

Сonclusion. When assessing a patient with hematomas, an emphasis should be given to examination of patients and changes in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Best strategy of anticoagulant therapy for patients with coronavirus infection and high risk of VTE, as well as optimal laboratory monitoring during LMWH administration are yet to be explored.
