Red clay roof and NDVI drive changes in bird species composition and functional evenness in housing areas of São Paulo megacity, Brazil
Authors: Melo Marcos Antônio , Campos-Silva Lucas Andrei , Piratelli Augusto João
Published: January 2023

Urbanization creates the most irreversible and human-dominated form of land use, often resulting in species losses and functional homogenization of bird communities. Here we investigate how housing areas in a Neotropical megacity may drive bird species occurrence and functional diversity in high densely habited areas. Using three local scales (radius of 50, 100, and 200 m), we tested how bird species richness, functional groups, and functional diversity indices may be affected by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI, a proxy for primary productivity) and the cover area (m2) of red clay roofs (RCR, likely urban nesting sites) in São Paulo megacity, Brazil. We recorded 40 bird species, mostly nesting on trees. Few and high abundant (native and exotic) birds may use roofs and other urban structures as nesting sites. The GLM models showed that functional evenness increased with synchronized increases of NDVI 200 m and RCR 200 m covers and decreased with increase of NDVI 50 m. Most of the bird indices were not affected by neither NDVI nor RCR at local scales. However, bird species composition and functional evenness were sensitive to NDVI and RCR. Our findings suggest that synchronized high values of NDVI (vegetation-linked resources) and RCR cover (likelihood of nesting) may improve the regularity of bird functional traits and ecosystem functions (e.g., frugivory and insectivory) in housing areas of a Neotropical megacity.

Published: January 2023

The Burrowing Parrot (Cyanoliseus patagonus) is a threatened species whose populations have decreased as a result of habitat loss and degradation, capture for the pet trade, and historical persecution for considering it an agricultural pest. Recently, however, an apparent increase in its abundance has been reported in urban areas in the southwest of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, although this observation is not based on objective estimates. In this study we compare the abundance of Burrowing Parrots in Bahía Blanca (Buenos Aires) between 2014 and 2022. We monitored the individuals that use a communal roost in the main park of the city. This roost congregates almost all parrots within a radius of about 20 km. We established six counting stations defining a closed polygon around the park, and performed 52 seasonal counts at the time of arrival in 2014, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. The number of individuals that congregated at the roost varied between 1767 and 21 104 over the years and seasons. The comparisons made do not reflect a significant increase in the number of parrots that arrived at the roost between the different springs, between the summers or between the autumn-winter seasons of the different years studied, except for the autumn-winter of 2019, which almost doubled the values corresponding to the same period of 2014. We also recorded a marked seasonal variation in parrot abundance that was repeated in all sampling seasons, with highs during autumn-winter.

Published: January 2023

The presence of unsupervised dogs in urban areas close to sites of high natural value can have negative effects on wildlife. On the Patagonian coast, where cities are often surrounded by natural environments, this problem may affect seabird colonies. Two islands with Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) colonies belonging to a protected area neighboring Puerto Deseado, Santa Cruz, suffered attacks by unsupervised dogs. In 2016 and 2022, several dogs reached these islands during low tides and attacked penguins. At Isla Quiroga, 421 penguins died in 2016, causing a decrease of 21.4% in its population. At Isla Quinta, 30 individuals died in 2016 and 32 in 2022, representing in both cases almost 100% of the colony. These are the first records of attacks since we are monitoring these colonies (>30 years). The growth of coastal cities is constant and these events could become more frequent and affect more species of seabirds. The control of unsupervised dogs in natural areas near coastal developments is a challenge that government entities should respond to in the short term.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY, GLYCEMIC INDEX AND GLYCEMIC LOAD OF BOILED AND ROASTED COCOYAM (Xanthosoma mafaffa Schott) TUBER
Authors: UKOM ANTHONY N. , NWANAGBA LILIAN N. , OGUZIE CHRISTIANA O.
Published: January 2023

Xanthosoma mafaffa Schott (XMS) is an underutilized cocoyam that is relatively rich in food nutrients and antioxidant constituents. However, information on the values of glycemic index (GI) and the glycemic load (GL) of XMS is limited. Thus, this study was undertaking to contribute information on antioxidant activity and nutritional data of GI and GL values using boiled and roasted XMS tuber. Anthropometric measurements, GI, GL and antioxidant constituents were determined according to standard methods. Results showed variations in the tested parameters. Antioxidant constituents varied for carotenoids (14.33 to 49.08 mg/100gfw), total polyphenols (122.02 to 159.45 mgGAE/100gfw), total flavonoids (62.05 to 161.32 mgQE/100gfw), ascorbic acid (2.04 to 6.17 mg/100gfw) and tocopherol (1.31 to 2.63 mg/100gfw). Antioxidant activity assayed by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP ranged from 14.21 to 36.73%, 11.28 to 77.15 µmTE/100gfw and 6.03 to 19.36 mgTE/gfw. Glycemic index of standard food (glucose) and processed Xanthosoma maffafa Schott showed variance in the glycemic response (GR) from 4.17 to 4.53 mmol/L at 0 min fasting blood sugar, 4.50 to 6.83 mmol/L at 15 min, 4.60 to 7.53 mmol/L at 30 min, 4.20 to 8.37 mmol/L at 60 min, 4.27 to 5.90 mmol/L at 90 min and 4.27 to 5.77 mmol/L at 120 min post feeding intervals. In general, GI of boiled XMS (91.30 mmol/L) was higher than the roasted XMS (68.69 mmol/L) meal. With high antioxidant compounds, strong antioxidant activity, and a medium GI of roasted Xanthosoma maffafa Schott meal, it can act as a functional food to scavenge free radicals, prevent degenerative disorders and boost physiological health of consumers.
CYTOEPIGENETICS: DIALECTICAL REVIEW OF A SUBCELLULAR ENDO-MEMBRANOUS COORDINATION OF GENE EXPRESSION AND CELLULAR FATE
Authors: GUERRA DANIEL J.
Published: January 2023

CytoEpigenetics is a new event ontology in biochemistry. It involves the mutual interactions between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes delivering asymmetric but equally necessary gene expression libraries that are mediated through proteome subcellular distribution via the lipid endomembranous system. There is a superimposed annotating epigenetic tailoring mechanism involving epi-transcriptional authorship, reading, and processing that must be in dynamic and kinetic communication for signaling, bioenergetics and cell fate. This mechanism requires substrates from intermediary metabolism to be used in covalent modification of DNA, RNA, and polypeptides via coordinated lipid membrane raft trafficking to support the endomembranous network.
Chi-square Test and Its Utility in Forest Ecology Studies
Authors: Reddy M. Sridhar
Published: January 2023

In forest ecological studies, the data are often collected as nominal variables which can be summarized as frequency data. For this kind of nominal data, the chi-square test statistic can be used to evaluate whether the study groups are independent or not in their occurrence. This frequency data are arranged in a 2 x 2 table or with more rows and columns tabular format to undertake Chi-square test. Frequency or counts data of exclusive categories are used to test their independence/association by testing their proportion of occurrence in the rows and columns of the Chi-square table. The article includes the details on the data that can be used under Chi-square test through case studies, assumptions associated with the test, how the test and associated p-value can be achieved by simple manual calculation without any statistical program.
Popaschalna historia kształtowania się znaku krzyża w mentalności pierwszego Kościoła
Authors: Juckiewicz Piotr
Published: January 2023

W artykule przedstawiono kolejne etapy przemian, jakie zaowocowały ukonstytuowaniem się znaku krzyża, początkowo narzędzia śmierci Zbawiciela i wielu spośród Jego wyznawców, w godło chrześcijaństwa. Na podstawie wyników badań prowadzonych z wykorzystaniem metod syntetyczno-krytycznej, historyczno-krytycznej oraz analizy heurystycznej ukazano jego popaschalne losy. W wielu wypadkach konieczne było posiłkowanie się podaniami o mniejszej wiarygodności historycznej, które jednak oddają sensus fidelium, zmysł wiary Kościoła pierwszych wieków. Dalej zaprezentowano krzyże ukryte znajdujące swoje miejsce w praxis pierwszych wyznawców Chrystusa, omówiono także proces rodzącej się staurologii, a opisana ewolucja samego symbolu krzyża staje się pretekstem dla samodzielnego jego występowania jako skutecznego talizmanu oraz sztandaru Mesjasza w czasach ostatecznych.
Zaangażowanie Tomasza Zamoyskiego w problemy konfederacji lwowskiej 1622 roku
Authors: Kupczewska Marta
Published: January 2023

Niniejszy artykuł jest poświęcony problematyce konfederacji zaprzysiężonej we Lwowie w lutym 1622 roku (zwanej także od nazwiska jej marszałka konfederacją Kowenickiego). Miała ona miejsce tuż po wyniszczającej wojsko wojnie oblężniczej pod Chocimiem jesienią 1621 roku kończącej konflikt Rzeczypospolitej z Imperium Osmańskim. W czasie trwania konfederacji lwowskiej, oprócz wysuwanych postulatów finansowych, wojsko zażądało od Zygmunta III spełnienia rozbudowanych oczekiwań politycznych. Radykalizm wojskowych zmusił króla i głównych decydentów kraju do bardziej energicznego działania na rzecz rozwiązania buntu niepokornych żołnierzy. Nieobecność na negocjacjach ze skonfederowanymi żołnierzami hetmanów koronnych sprawiła, iż zakulisowe wpływy w skonfederowanym wojsku stopniowo przejmowali niektórzy ówcześni magnaci. Osobista rywalizacja pomiędzy zaangażowanymi w problemy konfederacji magnatami o dobra i urzędy dla nich samych i ich wojskowych klientów była prowadzona przy wykorzystaniu takich narzędzi oddziaływania jak presja wytwarzana na królu, wywieranie wpływu na postawy żołnierzy, przekupstwo czy wreszcie pomówienie. Zagadnienia te zostaną przeanalizowane głównie przez pryzmat osoby wojewody kijowskiego Tomasza Zamoyskiego oraz jego rywala Stanisława Lubomirskiego.

The Effect of Increasing Fuel Prices on the Components of Household Consumption Expenditures in PDRB According to Expenditure Case Study of West Kalimantan Province 2015-2022
Authors: Widiantari Arianti , Neki Eliana , Kiftiah Mariatul , Martha Shantika
Published: January 2023

The policy of raising the price of fuel oil (BBM) again by the Government of Indonesia is causing problems. The increase in fuel prices implies an increase in commodity prices. The increase in the price of goods has an effect on purchasing power. Low or high purchasing power affects the level of people's economic welfare. This study aims to determine the effect of rising fuel prices on the level of economic welfare of the people of West Kalimantan, as well as to provide recommendations for solutions and plans for economic development to local governments. The research model is a time-series and cross-section model from panel data regression analysis. Based on this study, it was concluded that there was an influence from the increase in subsidized and non-subsidized fuel prices on Household Consumption Expenditure (PKRT) in West Kalimantan. This indicates that there are ongoing economic activities that affect economic growth in West Kalimantan.

Staatliche Ordnung und Gewaltforschung
Authors: Barth Jonas
Published: January 2023

Pflegewissenschaftliche und ein Großteil der soziologischen Gewaltforschung setzen sich unter Bezugnahme auf den Begriff der Gewalt zum Ziel, gewichtige Missstände zu identifizieren. Eine solche Gewaltforschung läuft auf eine moralische Beurteilung sozialer Phänomene hinaus. Das erste Ziel der von Jonas Barth vorgelegten Studie besteht darin, die gesellschaftliche Notwendigkeit der moralisierenden Gewaltforschung aufzuzeigen. Denn die Gewaltforschung reproduziert Formvorgaben über die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Gewalt und wird damit zu einem Teil eines staatlich verfassten ordnungsbezogenen Handlungszusammenhangs. Evaluative Stellungsnahmen in solchen Forschungen werden dann erkennbar als symbolische Markierungen von Ordnungskonflikten.

Diese Rekonstruktion ermöglicht die Explikation eines Maßstabs, mit Hilfe dessen sozialtheoretische Mittel entwickelt werden können, die neben der geleisteten Rekonstruktion grundsätzlich auch anders gelagerte, d.h. nicht nur staatliche Ordnungsbezüge von Gewalt erfassen können. In den oben rekonstruierten Ordnungskonflikten wird markiert, dass es in der Pflege zu Gewaltbestimmungen und -legitimationen kommt, die für illegitim gehalten werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert die Studie auf der Grundlage einer qualitativ-ethnographischen Studie das Verständnis von und den Umgang mit Gewalt, die die normative Ordnung in der stationären Pflege von Menschen mit Demenz kennzeichnen. Die entlang der ethnografisch erzielten und theoretisch verdichteten empirischen Befunde werden abschließend noch einmal auf die eingangs geleistete Rekonstruktion der staatsbezogenen Gewaltforschung rückbezogen, sodass die Befunde sowohl einen Beitrag zur pflegebezogenen als auch zur gesellschaftstheoretischen Gewaltforschung darstellen.
Critical Evaluation of the Relationship between the Need for Achievement and Entrepreneurship Performance: Risk-Taking Propensity, Entrepreneurial Independence and Motivation
Authors: Ncokazi Ayanda , Thandiswa Mpiti Pretty
Published: January 2023

To understand and explain entrepreneurial behaviour in businesses, previous studies observed economic factors, but the little emphasis was placed on the value of the entrepreneur as an individual in the business venture itself. However, it was an oversight to disregard the individuality of the entrepreneur’s personality and motivation for being an entrepreneur. Against this background, the study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the need for achievement and entrepreneurial performance thereby looking at some personality traits (risk-taking propensity, independence and motivation) of entrepreneurs in the Chris Hani District Municipality. The need for achievement as a personality characteristic was evaluated with the other characteristics. This literature suggests that the need for achievement could influence entrepreneurial performance. The study employed a descriptive research paradigm, and a stratified sampling technique was used to collect data from the participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was administered to 108 small- and medium-sized enterprise owners and managers in the Chris Hani District Municipality. The findings of this study indicated that the need for achievement has the potential to enhance entrepreneurship performance. Moreover, this study found that risk-taking, independence and motivation are the major components of the need for achievement as they serve as predictors of entrepreneurial success.

Published: January 2023

In this chapter we present our published research results concerning the use of phosphonates and phosphonic acids synthesized in our laboratory as corrosion inhibitors. Firstly, the corresponding synthetic pathways used to prepare this type of inhibitors have been illustrated. Also, the different experimental methods used to evaluate the inhibition activities of these derivatives have been presented in this chapter such as weight loss measurements, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), etc. On the other hand, the theoretical approaches such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamic Simulations (MDS) are also implanted in this chapter in order to determine correlations between the experimental efficiencies and some calculated structural and electronic properties.
3D Culturing of Stem Cells: An Emerging Technique for Advancing Fundamental Research in Regenerative Medicine
Authors: Rawat Sonali , Sharma Yashvi , Majood Misba , Mohanty Sujata
Published: January 2023

Regenerative medicine has been coming into spotlight ever since the realisation that conventional treatments are not enough, and the need for specific therapies has emerged. This, however, has paved way for cell-free therapy using extracellular vesicles. A two-dimensional (2D) cell culture model is widely recognised as the “gold standard” for researching cellular communications ex vivo. Although the 2D culture technique is straightforward and easy to use, it cannot replicate the in vivo ECM interactions & microenvironment. On the contrary, 3D culture culturing technology has emerged which include structures such as spheroids and organoids. Organoids are small replicas of in vivo tissues and organs, which faithfully recreate their structures and functions. These could be used as models to derive stem cells based EVs for manufacturing purposes. The linkages between infection and cancer growth, as well as mutation and carcinogenesis, may be modelled using this bioengineered platform. All in all, 3D culturing derived EVs serves as a novel platform for diagnostics, drug discovery & delivery, and therapy.

Authors: Vara Fatemeh , Amini Mitra , Moosavi Mahsa , Askarinejad Amir , Sasannia Sarvin , Tabari Parinaz , Sagheb Mohammad Mahdi , Bahrani Kazeronian Amirarsalan
Published: January 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has induced fear and mental health problems in the community and among healthcare workers. Empathy with patients may be difficult in such situations due to urgent conditions. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate medical students’ empathy and fear toward COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 107 medical students from Shiraz Medical School in 2021. A Persian version of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE) was used to assess the participants’ empathy toward COVID-19 patients. The internal validity of the Persian version of JSPE was 0.78, and its test-retest reliability after 14 days was 0.92 in a previous study. The participants were requested to fill out a fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S) previously developed to assess their fear of affliction with COVID-19. Since the normality of data distribution was not approved, we used nonparametric tests, namely, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: The mean empathy score based on the Persian version JSPE was 71.94 ± 12.83 out of 140, which was higher in male students and those who resided in dormitories. The mean fear score was 24.93 ± 6.16 out of 35. Participants living out of dormitories feared COVID-19 to a greater extent. No statistically significant association was found between the age of the participants and these two parameters. The Spearman correlation coefficient test showed that students with a history of COVID-19 had less fear and more empathy because of their experience with COVID-19 (r = -0.249, P-value = 0.02). Conclusions: This study highlights the impact of the pandemic on the interaction between medical students as healthcare professionals and patients by affecting medical students’ fear and empathy. The study indicates ways to improve readiness for future pandemics. Our study showed that living far away from families in dormitories may influence students’ fear and empathy. Moreover, empathy, unlike fear, was affected by gender. A reverse correlation existed between fear and empathy in students with a history of COVID-19, indicating that the more they had empathy, the less they experienced fear.

У статті запропоновано напрямки вирішення питання удосконалення рівня галузевої конкурентоспроможності організаційно-економічного механізму регулювання аквакультури як перспективного сектору національної економіки на основі нормативно-адміністративного методу регулювання. Для успішного здійснення аквакультурного виробництва запропоновано внести доповнення до Закону України «Про аквакультуру» від 18.09.2012 № 5293-VI. Обґрунтовано пропозиції до розроблення проекту Державної програми розвитку аквакультури України на період 2020-2025 рр., що значною мірою становитимуть низку переважно організаційних заходів з урахуванням дієвих механізмів регулювання розвитку аквакультури. Запропоновано передбачити як забезпечення процесів розвитку традиційних об’єктів аквакультури, так і розвиток за напрямом урізноманітнення об’єктів та поширення відносно нетрадиційних технологій аквакультури. Вказане стосується рециркулярних аквакультурних систем (РАС), а також виробництва достатньої кількості рибопосадкового матеріалу як для товарного виробництва, так і з метою зариблення водойм для здійснення «рекреаційного рибальства» або випасного вирощування. Серед основних аспектів запровадження організаційного механізму регулювання з урахуванням основних складових блоків визначено запровадження дієвого зв’язку між державою і виробником у формі ліцензування аквакультурної діяльності, ураховуючи досвід застосування усіх країн Європи так і майже по всьому світу або іншій прийнятній формі; створення та налагодження статистичної звітності відповідно до прийнятих у ЄС та рекомендованих ФАО форм з визначенням відповідальності за ненадання інформації; опрацювання земельного та водного законодавства з урахуванням потреб і вимог аквакультури як товарної, зокрема виробництва харчової рибної продукції, вирощування рибопосадкового матеріалу. Викладено результати заходів регулювання сільського господарства при одночасному поглибленому опрацюванні чинного законодавства та внесення до нього змін, які сприятимуть розвитку аквакультури на європейських засадах, відповідальної, дружньої до довкілля та людини.
Financial reports quality from the students perspective
Authors: Budai Eleonora , Denich Ervin
Published: January 2023

For a market economy to function properly, it is essential that the information required by market participants is available in a timely manner and of the required quality. The quality of financial reporting usually comes to the fore when a corporate scandal results in significant damage to certain investor groups or other stakeholders.  Accounting reports should be prepared and published in accordance with internationally accepted standards (IFRS) and/or accepted country-specific accounting principles (GAAP). However, these standards alone cannot determine the quality of the published accounts. A financial report can be defined as the product at the micro level when viewed in the context of a complex accounting system. Both theoretical and practical approaches suggest that the greatest responsibility in quality respect lies with those who carry out the accounting activity and with managers. This research seeks to answer the question of how accounting students in Hungarian higher education institutions perceive the quality of financial reporting as future managers and decision-makers. This was explored in a pilot study conducted in April 2022, in which 119 third-year undergraduate students answered the question. Our study is not representative, but it has a signaling value.  They conclude that the students' approach is close to that of standard makers but differs in language and style. This conclusion may result from the different cultural, social, economic, linguistic, and educational contexts. The authors consider it essential that students consistently use and master accounting terminology during education, for which they primarily consider it necessary to employ professionals with theoretical knowledge and practical experience in accounting education.

Therapeutic Communication With Patients In The Emergency Room Hospital
Authors: Mawaddah Nurul , Handrianto Wahyu
Published: January 2023

Emergency care causes patients fear and anxiety in the face of treatment, so it requires the nurse's therapeutic communication to manage anxiety. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of therapeutic communication in emergency patients who experience anxiety.

Teknologi komputer memegang peran yang sangat penting bagi perkembangan di segala bidang. Salah satu bidangnya adalah teknologi pengolahan data. Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat ini mempengaruhi berbagai bidang, salah satunya adalah bidang pendidikan. Hasil dari kegiatan belajar dan mengajar berupa data, baik data kualitatif maupun kuantitatif, menjadi tolok ukur keberhasilan siswa dalam mengikuti suatu pelajaran dan menentukan arah belajar siswa yang sesungguhnya. Namun, saat ini pengolahan data di lembaga pendidikan, khususnya di SMPIT Insan Madani, masih menggunakan cara konvensional, yaitu belum menggunakan sistem yang terkomputerisasi. Hal ini menyebabkan kerentanan terhadap kehilangan dan kerusakan data. Selain itu, data yang tidak terkelola dengan baik dapat bertumpuk dan menyulitkan saat dibutuhkan kembali. Oleh karena itu, penulis merancang sebuah aplikasi berupa Pangkalan Data Akademik (PDA) yang dapat digunakan oleh pihak sekolah untuk membantu mengolah data dari sistem manual menjadi sistem yang terkomputerisasi.
