Microsatellite variation and population genetic structure of Anatolian mountain frogs
Authors: Kalayci Tuğba Ergül , Özdemir Nurhayat
Published: July 2023

Anatolian mountain frogs consist of two admitted species (Rana macrocnemis and Rana tavasensis), and this group is famous for its high land distribution throughout the Anatolian mountain chain. Despite the unique features of these groups (cold-adapted and highland species),
their population genetics have yet to be revealed. In this study, the allelic variation and genetic structure of Anatolian mountain frogs were investigated using six microsatellite markers across its natural distribution area in Türkiye. We evaluated 138 samples from 31 locations and
clustered them based on a Structure analysis. The microsatellite markers suggested a high level of diversity in the East Anatolia cluster, while we found limited genetic diversity in the Central Taurus and West Anatolia clusters. We found a significant bottleneck in the Central Taurus cluster,
with no genetic differentiation between R. macrocnemis and R. tavasensis. Our results show that the Anatolian mountain frogs exhibit underlying inbreeding signs for macro and microclimatic reasons.

Authors: Nourizadeh Ezzat
Published: July 2023

Background: Cancer has spread rapidly all over the world, and its spread has been considered a big health problem by international organizations. Today, patients prefer to use medicinal plants to treat infectious and non-infectious diseases. Objectives: Considering that Scutellaria has therapeutic properties, this study was conducted to investigate the anti-cancer and anti-bacterial effects of biologically active compounds of Scutellaria species. Materials and Methods: In this research, data were extracted from various research reports and other reliable sources. In this systematic review, websites and databases of Magiran, SID, PubMed, Iranmed, Scopus, and Google scholar were searched for papers published in Persian and English using the keywords of anti-cancer compounds, anti-bacterial, Scutellaria species, and cancer cells. No time limitation was applied. Several interventional studies were identified. These studies were selected based on the purpose of the study. Results: The research results showed that Scutellaria species contain bioactive compounds such as wogonin, wogonoside, baicalein, baicalin, squalane, apigenin, flavonoid, and neobaicalein, which have anti-cancer and anti-microbial properties. Conclusion: Despite the anti-bacterial and anti-cancer properties of Scutellaria species, whether Scutellaria can be used as an anti-cancer and anti-bacterial agent in clinical settings depends on many factors, which need further studies.

Authors: Ahmadian-Attari Mohammad Mahdi , Mohammad Taghizadeh Kashani Leila , Hajiagha Bozorgi Atefeh
Published: July 2023

Background: The root smoke of Costus arabicus L. (Qust-e Shirin) has been used in Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) for rhinorrhea and catarrh, especially with infectious origin. Objectives: This study aimed to inspect potential anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) activities of chemical compositions of this smoke through a docking study. Materials and Methods: Based on our previous study on the chemical compositions of C. arabicus root smoke, the chemical structure of components was revealed by GC-MS. In this study, these structures were generated in HyperChem software, and an energy-minimization procedure was performed for the molecules. For the docking study, the Hex software was used. Docking was performed using the Protein Data Bank (PDB) structure of the COVID-19 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (PDB ID: 6M71) enzyme which was obtained from PDB bank, water molecules were removed, Coleman charge was added, and non-polar hydrogens were merged. Then, docking was performed. Results: The result indicated the energy of each interaction between molecules and enzymes. The lower the energy, the higher the probability of interaction will be. The best molecule was 6H-quindoline which has the best total energy among the molecules. The next molecule was 5-methoxy-alpha methyl tryptamine with -210.82 kcal energy. Their similar structure in indole moiety suggests that this fragment can play a crucial role in attachment to the enzyme and can be kept intact in future designs against COVID-19 inhibitors. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study showed that C. arabicus root smoke may be effective in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further in vitro and in vivo studies on the activity of the smoke and its constituents against COVID-19 would be fruitful.
The Effects of Liver Cirrhosis on Electrical Autorhythmicity of Isolated Duodenum in Rats
Authors: Bayat Gholamreza , Khalili Azadeh , Hosseini Marjan , Mazloom Roham
Published: July 2023

Background: Cirrhosis reduced small bowel motility and transit time, with unknown mechanisms. Moreover, intestinal motility depends on the electrical activity and the autorhythmicity of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). If cirrhosis directly affects the intrinsic mechanism of intestinal motility, the isolated bowel of cirrhotic cases will also exhibit an electrical abnormality compared with normal cases. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the effects of liver cirrhosis on the electrical autorhythmicity of isolated duodenum in rats. Materials and Methods: Six weeks after bile duct ligation (BDL) surgery, animals were anesthetized, and blood samples were obtained from the heart for the evaluation of plasma cirrhosis indices, including weight, plasma albumin, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), bilirubin, and direct bilirubin. Then, the duodenum of rats was isolated and compared with the control group for the rate of electrical slow waves and the maximum amplitude of slow waves. Results: Significant differences were observed between the control and BDL group in terms of weight, plasma albumin, SGOT, SGPT, bilirubin, and direct bilirubin. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the maximum amplitude of slow waves in the BDL group compared with the control. Conclusion: It seems that different factors directly harm the ICC network such as inflammation caused by microbiome amplification as a result of cirrhosis, which in turn reduces small bowel motility.

Published: July 2023

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused the outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It is principally identified with respiratory disease and pulmonary manifestations. However, based on various reports, COVID-19 infection not only affects the respiratory system but also infects other organs. Cardiac manifestations, gastrointestinal complications, liver dysfunction, musculoskeletal disorders, ocular findings, and hematological manifestations are among the published extrapulmonary clinical manifestations. Lack of awareness and attention to these extrapulmonary features might result in misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, incorrect treatment, and eventually an increase in the spread of the virus by unidentified individuals to others in the community. Therefore, the current study comprehensively reviews and discusses the extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 in mild or severe patients.

Authors: Taji Raheleh , Sadraei Javid , Pirestani Majid , Bahadory Saeed
Published: July 2023

Background: Blastocystis is an anaerobic gastrointestinal protozoan that causes infections in humans and a wide range of animals. It was found that the host specificity and the pathogenic potential of different isolates are correlated with sequence variations in the SSU-rRNA gene. The identification of the organism at the species level is still an unclear challenge. The use of natural nature substances against infectious organisms has been promising, and the optimization of these substances in the direction of better delivery such as the form of nanoparticles (NPs) of natural substances has recently been considered. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of silver, chitosan, and curcumin NPs on Blastocystis spp. and compare it with metronidazole in vitro conditions. Materials and Methods: The parasite was cultivated in Robinson’s medium and was then identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the subtype of the parasite was determined, which was subtype 3. Then, the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) test was performed to determine the toxicity level of the prepared drugs/substances using Caco2 cells. This study investigated the concentrations of silver NPs (10, 25, and 50 µg/mL), chitosan (75, 50, 25, and 12.5 µg/mL), and curcumin (250, 500, and 1000 µg/mL), and their effect on 24- and 48-hour time points after exposure to the parasite. Then, the final number of parasites was counted after staining with trypan blue by a Neubauer slide, and the values of IC50 and selectivity index (SI) were calculated for each substance. Results: Chitosan and curcumin NPs had SI of 2.04 and 13.15, respectively, which were more effective than metronidazole, and silver NP was 0.143. However, chitosan NP had the best antiparasitic effect. Based on the obtained results, chitosan and curcumin NPs were more effective against blastocystis than against metronidazole. Conclusion: Chitosan and curcumin NPs (liposomal curcumin) have a good inhibitory effect on blastocystis compared to metronidazole, but silver NP did not perform better than metronidazole.

Published: July 2023

Aim. Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a device therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), most of the data on its programming are concerned patients with narrow QRS and of limited follow up. Our aim was to propose programming approach for Optimizer device in setting of wide QRS complex and fragmented ventricular local activation.

Methods. We enrolled 11 patients with HFrEF (median age, 8 males, median NYHA class 3) and LBBB-related wide QRS complex, who underwent Optimizer™ device implantation. Three patients got Optimizer™ IV system and eight patients were implanted Optimizer™ Smart. Ten patients were previously implanted with CRT-D due to HFrEF and LBBB; one patient received CRT-D after Optimizer™ implantation.

Results. During the implantation procedure ventricular local sense (LS) channel signal fragmentation was detected in all patients. In five patients signal detection was optimized by lead relocation. In six patients LS signal sensitivity limitations were resolved by programming. At two-year follow-up survival 4 patients died of noncardiac causes (1 intracranial hemorrhage, 1 gastrointestinal bleeding and 2 - terminal kidney failure). At 12-month follow-up we observed a non-significant improvement in 6-minute walking distance (300 vs 305, p=0.093), NYHA class (2.75 vs 2, p=0.085), MLHF score (53 vs 42, p=0.109) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (30 vs 33.5, p=0.212).

Conclusion. CCM system implantation is feasible and safe in patients with HFrEF and LBBB-related wide QRS complex. Device programming maneuvers can resolve the challenges of ventricular local signal detection in these patients.

Az egészségügyi tantárgyak oktatásának módszerei
Authors: Kovácsné Duró Andrea
Published: July 2023

Az egészségügyi tantárgyak oktatásának számos speciális módszere van. Jelen empirikus kutatás egyéni kérdőíves felméréssel a levelezős egészségügyi tanár szakos hallgatók módszerválasztással kapcsolatos tapasztalatait tárja fel. Az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy a tanárjelöltek többsége egy, a pedagógus irányító szerepén alapuló módszert preferált, az interaktívabb formák viszont jóval kisebb arányban jelentek meg. Az egyoldalú választást némiképp árnyalta, hogy az adatközlők több mint fele skill laborban, demonstrációs teremben, az IKT-technika mellett különféle szimulációs eszközök felhasználásával (ambu baba, fantom) segítette a tananyag jobb megértését. A hallgatók általában megfelelő szintű ismeretekkel rendelkeztek az egyes metodikák sajátosságait illetően, ugyanakkor kevés lehetőségük nyílt tanítványaik alaposabb megismerésére. A fentiekből következően a képzők fontos feladata a tanulók sajátosságainak feltárását szolgáló, illetve a többféle tanulási modalitást lehetővé tevő metodikák alkalmazására való felkészítés, valamint a konkrét tanítási tapasztalatokra épülő, reflektív gondolkodás és magatartás elsajátításának támogatása.

Napjainkban a dinamikai rendszerek identifikációja a magas minőségi követelmények miatt fontosabb, mint valaha. A járműiparnak biztonságkritikus területként különösen magas az igénye az olyan eljárásokra, melyekkel leszoríthatók a tesztelés magas költségei. Mivel Magyarország az egyik legnagyobb járműipari beszállító Európában, a mérnököknek ismerniük kell a korszerű technikákat. Cikkünkben demonstráljuk az ún. Gaussian Process – Latent Force Model (GP-LFM) technika hatékonyságát az egy szabadsági fokú negyed járműmodellen keresztül. Bemutatjuk és egyben általánosítjuk az elméletet több szabadsági fokú rendszerek identifikációjához, amely a későbbiekben lehetővé teszik a komplexebb rendszerek, például a fél járműmodell identifikációját.
A gamifikáció terjedő trendje és az elektronikus tanulási környezet
Authors: Jaskóné Gácsi Mária
Published: July 2023

Az elektronikus tanulási környezet azt igényli, hogy a fókusz a tanuló tanulási tevékenységére kerüljön. Ennek következtében már nem korszerű kizárólag tanításról beszélni, ehelyett a tanítás-tanulás folyamatát kell értelmezni. Thomas W. Malone munkásságának eredményeként rájött, hogy a játékos elemek használata pozitív élmény, ezért tesztelte az oktatásban (Christians 2018). A téma kapcsán Malone olyan kérdésekre próbált választ kapni, hogy: Hogyan lehet olyan utasításokat adni a tanulóknak, ami felkelti az érdeklődésüket és a tanulás folyamatához is hozzájárulnak? Miért olyan lebilincselőek a számítógépes játékok? Mitől lesznek a dolgok szórakoztatóak? Hogyan lehetne ezeket az elemeket az oktatásban úgy felhasználni, hogy az érdekesebb és élvezetesebb legyen? Malone konklúziója: a motiváltságot nagymértékben támogatja az, ha a diákoknak van lehetőségük, és kiválaszthatják azt, hogy milyen feladattal szeretnének tevékenykedni.

Diurnal variation of aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and p-xylene) in ambient air was determined in an urban site located in Monterrey, during North’s season 2020. Samples were collected using active sampling by a vacuum pump at a controlled flow of 200 ml/min during 1.5 h, considering three sampling periods: morning (07:00 - 08:30 h), midday (14:00 - 15:30 h) and afternoon (17:30- 19:00 h). Samples were desorbed with carbon disulfide and the extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography with ionization flame detection. Ethylbenzene and p-xylene were the dominant hydrocarbons (mean concentration: 18.581 g/m3 and 18.039 g/m3, respectively). Mean values for benzene and toluene were 15.137 g/m3 and 15.503 g/m3, respectively. All BTEX showed a diurnal pattern with higher values during the afternoon. From a meteorological study (wind roses) and chimiometric analysis (principal component analysis) were identified relations among the measured variables and their possible emission sources (industrial and vehicular sources). It was carried out a health risk assessment, considering both, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic (respiratory and cardiovascular diseases) related to BTEX inhalation founding that population in the study site could develop cancer in the lifetime by benzene inhalation.

Published: July 2023

The crankshaft is one of the main components that converts the potential energy of the fuel into rotating power for the piston engine. Because in the process of working the crankshaft changes the piston's back and forth motion into a rotating motion of the shaft. To minimize the effects of damage that occurs due to various types of dynamic loads acting on the crankshaft components, the design process should first know the working stress distribution. Meanwhile, as a tool in analyzing it, Solidworks software is used. From the results of this analysis, the location or position of the damage due to too high a loading can be identified early.

Research has been carried out on the visualization of harmonic and chaos phenomenont on coupled vibration physcal case using the Runge Kutta numerical computation method with the aim of applying the first to fourth order Runge Kutta computation method to obtain  a second order differential equation solution on coupled vibration system, calculating the displacement value of objects using computation method Runge Kutta order first to fourth, obtained a graph of the displacement of objects againts time in case of coupled vibration for harmonic and chaos states at certain step width values and compare the convergence of the Runge Kutta method from first to fourth order with the special analytical method. The solution of coupled vibration equation which is classified as a second order differential equation was quite difficulted to solve analytically, so the Runge Kutta computation method was used to solve it as an alternative solution. The results of the research showed that the harmonic state of the system was obtained when the displacement graph showed the motion of each pendulum which was constant with the pendulum displacement position with respect to time in the form of a sinusoidal graph at a value of C1 = 40 N/m, C2 = 30 N/m, C = 10 N/m, C = 0 N/m and the chaotic state was represented by a graph of the displacement of the pendulum with respect to time with an irregular pattern. In this case, it was found that the fourth order Runge Kutta method converged faster than the first to third order Runge Kutta method with the best results obtained at a step width value of 0,001. The fourth order Runge Kutta method also has a smaller approximation average error value  from first to third order Runge Kutta method was  on the fourth order Runge Kutta method and the avarage error values are , and  on the Runge Kutta method of first to third order.

Simple harmonic motion is motion back and forth regularly through an equilibrium point with the number of vibrations in every second always the same or constant. This experiment focuses on one example of an elastic object, namely a spring. The response of the spring to the force is indicated by the increase in the length of the spring. The background of this harmonic vibration experiment is to explain the process of harmonic vibration of a spring which is visualized in waves with the aim of explaining the harmonic vibration of a spring which is visualized in a wave. The data collection method in this experiment only used 1 load, namely 2 variations of springs (single spring and series spring) with a distance of 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm. Different values ​​of A, y0, and c are obtained. From all the data that has been processed using the Orgin Arduino software application, it can be seen that the value of the amplitude is 0.46 cm-6.23 cm. The period value is 10.6 seconds-17.9 seconds and the frequency is 0.05 Hz-0.09 Hz. In addition, the initial phase value of -0.08 to -4.96 was also obtained. From the results of this experiment, the spring that has the largest amplitude value of 6.23 cm is a variation of the series spring with a deviation of 6 cm. While the spring which has the greatest period, frequency, and initial phase values ​​is the variation of spring 1 with a deviation of 4 cm. Based on the experimental results show that, the vibrations that occur in the spring are different in the form of waves. This is because the distance and the spring used during the experiment affect the shape of the waves that occur.

Unfortunately, there has been a great worry about clean and healthy water for human consumption lately. Even though 2/3 of the earth's surface is covered by water, the access to safe water is only concentrated in certain areas. In Indonesia, water scarcity is increasing each year. Recent data on freshwater resources possessed by all countries in the world shows that Indonesia is ranked 51st with the highest risk of water scarcity (40-80%). There are several methods to gain access to safe water, one of which is the use of distillation equipment. This research aims to produce a design of freshwater distillation equipment from seawater by utilizing solar radiation towards the quantity of freshwater and to determine the quality of freshwater from the results of distillation which include water pH, salinity, and TDS tests. The research method is done by heating sea water in the distillation equipment using solar radiation. Findings reveal that the average solar intensity of 1608.25 (lux) and the ambient temperature of 38.5 °C can produce an average volume of freshwater of 336.75 ml per day from the incoming seawater volume of 2000 ml. The water quality produced has a pH of 6.5, a salinity of 0.2 ppt, and a TDS of 152 mg/L.

Fish as a source of animal protein is a fishery commodity that is prone to quality deterioration and spoilage after the fish is caught, so it needs fast, precise and correct handling to keep its quality in the hands of consumers. There for it is necessary to have a process that extends the durability through drying. One drying alternative is to use a Solar Air Heater with an Ultra Violet (UV) Solar Dryer drying house by making a building made of transparent material that functions as an insulator so that the solar irradiation trapped in the building will increase its temperature. The accumulated heat is used to dry the fish. Sardines that have just been displayed are put into the drying chamber with various loads of 22.23 kg, 14.82 kg and 7.41 kg. The energy source for drying is from sunlight with the Solar Air Heater system. The results show that drying efficiency and thermal efficiency increase with the addition of drying load. The highest values ​​of drying efficiency and drying house efficiency occurred at the mass load of 22.23 kg of fish at 13.17% and 50.57% with the lowest specific energy consumption (KES) of 18947.421 kJ/kg. The average temperature and temperature difference both in the solar air heater and in the drying chamber increase with the addition of the drying load. This temperature increase increases the drying rate which can reduce the drying time.

El inglés en el paisaje lingüístico de Viedma: actitudes de los hablantes
Authors:   , Galbarini Paola Andrea
Published: July 2023

La tesis indaga sobre la ocurrencia de inscripciones en inglés en el paisaje lingüístico de Viedma, una sociedad con perfil monolingüe de español, y hace foco en la percepción de los hablantes de estas rotulaciones en inglés. A través de entrevistas y encuestas, se busca confirmar dos hipótesis. Por un lado, que el uso del inglés tiene como fin impresionar socialmente dentro del propio territorio y no trascenderlo para comunicarse lingüísticamente (estrategia language display). Por otro, que este uso del inglés da lugar a categorías identitarias locales, que se pueden reconocer a través de los distintos mecanismos discursivos que utilizan los hablantes cuando dan cuenta de sus opiniones y percepciones.

A análise da vulnerabilidade natural e ambiental busca mostrar a susceptibilidade do ambiente, considerando fatores naturais como: solo, vegetação, geologia e geomorfologia, e a relação destes com a interferência antrópica. Deste modo, o estudo objetiva avaliar a vulnerabilidade natural e ambiental no município de Quixadá, estabelecendo graus de estabilidades em relação a morfogênese e a pedogênese, realizando também uma análise comparativa entre vulnerabilidade e sustentabilidade ambiental por meio de uma compartimentação geomorfológica. Os procedimentos metodológicos, decorrem de levantamento bibliográfico, trabalho de campo, identificação de unidades geoambientais, produção e álgebras de mapas temáticos. Na elaboração dos mapas, utilizou-se o Sistema de Informação Geográfica, SIG ArcGis 10.5. As unidades geoambientais identificadas, receberam valores que variam de 1,0 a 3,0; podendo ter intervalos de 0,5. Os resultados demonstraram que nos ambientes de Depressão Sertaneja ocorre uma baixa vulnerabilidade natural, porém este ambiente vem sofrendo fortes mudanças por meio das ações humanas. No caso do maciço residual, das planícies fluviais e dos inselbergs, são áreas que já apresentam alta vulnerabilidade natural devido a atuação do intemperismo, e as ações antrópicas contribuem para o agravamento desse quadro. Nesses ambientes que apresentam altas vulnerabilidades são observados baixa sustentabilidade ambiental.

Published: July 2023

This work evaluates the crucial aspects of sustainable development (SD) related to wellbeing and quality of life, which were measured by twenty-two relevant indicators (indices) in a sample of 31 countries over the period 2010 – 2019. All the pillars of SD are reflected, while the indicators applied either reflect one of these dimensions, i.e. the economic, social or environmental pillar of SD, or two/all of them. Several of these indicators also measure specific aspects encompassed by the particular pillars, which are of great importance for SD and have to be included. These include especially health and inequality, which belong to the social pillar of SD, and are reflected in several indicators used. Furthermore, the indicator of subjective happiness is included as well. Principal component analysis (PCA) and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) are the main methods used to analyse relationships between twenty-two indicators (composite indices) reflecting crucial aspects of SD, wellbeing, and quality of life in the sample. Three stages of both analyses were carried out. For both of them similar results were identified. Principal component 1 (for PCA)/component 1 (for PARAFAC) divided the sample into the less and the more developed countries, since the positive contribution was predominantly determined by the socioeconomic, wellbeing and the more complex environmental or SD indicators, which are predominantly the highest (high) in the more developed countries. On the contrary, the negative contribution was determined by the pollution damage indicators, which are the highest in the less developed countries. Principal component 2 (for PCA)/component 2 (for PARAFAC) divided the sample according to a crucial aspect of the social pillar of SD, i.e. quality of health, particularly reflected in Healthy life years at birth (HLY), which has also poor results in the many developed countries. At the third stage this component is determined by the environmental indicators reflecting resource depletion/consumption and also pollution damages in monetary values, being crucial for SD, since a number of them had the highest values in the developed countries.
Philosophy of Sustainable Development: Understanding the Significance of Gender Equality in Business Organisations
Authors: Lenka Purnima
Published: July 2023

Sustainable development is a significant concern for practitioners, researchers, and activists. Literature on this area has shown that gender inequality is one of the biggest hurdles in the process of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Business leaders, policymakers, politicians, practitioners, and researchers from all fields should understand the significance of gender equality, without which it is impossible to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The UN gives a call to countries and individuals to make some effort to achieve gender equality. It directly refers to the target of SDG5 and indirectly the other dimensions, including poverty, girl-child education, economy, child death ratios, forced marriage, violence against women, etc. Gender equality is an axiological appraisal to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.  For that, this paper tries to determine the necessity of gender equality in achieving Sustainable Development Goals. It mainly focuses on two objectives first one is the necessity of gender equality, and the second one is the role of business organizations in achieving gender equality.
