Authors: Blanco Carlos Eduardo
Published: November 2020

El presente ensayo expresa un ejercicio investigativo que tiene como propósito esencial explorar críticamente un aspecto de la realidad para aproximarse a un fenómeno social particular como lo es la universidad estatal venezolana como institución compleja. Se trata de una evaluación crítica de investigaciones previas relativas a dicha institución para un contexto geográfico en particular. Busca contribuir al estado del conocimiento de este objeto de estudio al identificar relaciones, contradicciones o inconsistencias, así como proponer posibles soluciones. Tema de altísima importancia social en los países latinoamericanos, la institución universitaria y aspectos de la manera como se han conducido estas instituciones incluyen nudos críticos de interés. Un problema de investigación evidenciado ha sido la escasez de referencias integradoras y comprensivas recientes acerca de la institución universitaria en Venezuela. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo central reunir, analizar e integrar críticamente aspectos salientes del devenir de la universidad venezolana reciente. Mediante  fuentes relevantes se abordaron rasgos y fenómenos destacables en las instituciones universitarias de dicho país, con énfasis en la conducción que ellas han tenido tanto contemporáneamente como hoy en día. Se evidenció que la universidad venezolana ha mantenido en general un desarrollo histórico típico de la universidad crítica latinoamericana, similarmente a sus pares de la región. No obstante, las universidades de este país se caracterizan actualmente por atravesar tiempos de muy serias e inéditas dificultades.
Indigenous Dress Theory in Canadian Residential Schools
Authors: Ottmann Shawkay
Published: November 2020

Indian Residential Schools were apart of Canada’s aggressive assimilative policy for Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Métis, Inuit), demonstrating the attempts to erase Indigenous people as a cultural and political entity. Ultimately, the schools were key to the “cultural genocide” that occurred. Upon arriving at the schools, Indigenous children would be stripped of their clothes, which was quickly replaced with foreign dress. The act of forcibly taking away and replacing the clothing of the children entering Indian Residential Schools is a direct result of the assimilative policy. This paper outlines Western dress and uniform theory. From there, an Indigenous dress theory is proposed based on Indigenous epistemologies, which emphasizes the differentiation between Western and Indigenous worldviews. Indian Residential School history is shared before examining the use of dress in the schools. Finally, Western and Indigenous dress theories are used in tandem to analyze the events and effects of stripping Indigenous children of their clothes. Understanding the individual experience is possible due to the voices of school. Survivors who shared their stories with the TRC and The Legacy of Hope Foundation, those who rote their own words down, and the voices found in the archival record.
Counting Collisions in an N-Billiard System Using Angles Between Collision Subspaces
Authors:   University of Sydney, Australia, Gasiorek Sean
Published: November 2020

The principal angles between binary collision subspaces in an N-billiard system in d-dimensional Euclidean space are computed. These angles are computed for equal masses and arbitrary masses. We then provide a bound on the number of collisions in the planar 3-billiard system problem. Comparison of this result with known billiard collision bounds in lower dimensions is discussed.
Age and Body Anthropometry as Predicting Factors for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome among Egyptian Obese Women
Authors: Zaki Moushira , Ali Maha , Yousef Walaa , Ezzat Wafaa , Basha Walaa
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent entrapment neuropathy in the upper limb. The most consistent risk factors are female gender, age, and obesity. The results of previous studies are conflicting, and moreover, data from studies regarding obesity and nerve conduction velocity are not available for our Egyptian population.
AIM: This study was designed to investigate the contribution of age and body anthropometry as predictor factors to the CTS and to identify patients at high risk for CTS among Egyptian obese women.
METHODS: The study included 120 obese women grouped according to the clinical and electrodiagnostic (EDX) findings into two groups: 60 with CTS and 60 without CTS (non-CTS). EDX study was used in the diagnosis of median nerve entrapment at the level of the wrist, according to the American Association of Neuromuscular and EDX Medicine. Body weight and height were measured and then body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) was determined from the measured waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC). Mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) was measured as well. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the power of age and body anthropometry as predictor factors for CTS.
RESULTS: CTS obese cases showed significantly lower values of both median motor nerve conduction velocity (MMNCV) and median sensory nerve conduction velocity compared to those without CTS. Significantly higher median sensory latency and median motor latency have been found in CTS cases compared to non-CTS group. Significant differences in the mean age have been found between the two groups and a tendency for higher body anthropometry measures in the CTS cases relative to those without CTS. Moreover, there were negative correlations between MMNCV and obesity indices. Age showed the highest area under the ROC curve, followed by BMI, WHR WC, HC, and MUAC.
CONCLUSION: Age and obesity indices are important risk factors that can be used as predictors to CTS in obese women. Age is a more powerful diagnostic tool relative to the anthropometric measurements. Women of age above 40 years and suffering from a high degree of obesity are at risk of developing CTS.

Authors: Rexhepi Meral , Trajkovska Elizabeta , Ismaili Hysni , Azemi Majlinda
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Ovarian fibrothecoma is a rare, benign, sex cord-stromal neoplasm, with a typically unilateral location in the ovary, characterized by mixed features of both fibroma and thecoma. Ovarian fibrothecoma is uncommon tumor of gonadal stromal cell origin accounting for 3-4% of all ovarian tumours.
CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a rare case of a 46-year-old patient with recurrent menorrhagia in the past two years with no previous medical, surgical or gynecological history. She underwent two times curettage procedures. At the admission to hospital ultrasonography showed a homogenous solid right ovarian mass of size 2.5 cm x 3.5 cm. Endometrial curettage revealed simple hyperplasia of the endometrium. Diagnostic evaluation and surgical management are discussed along with a brief review of the literature. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was carried out. Histopathology confirmed fibrothecoma of the ovary, proliferative endometrium with hyperplasia without atypia and multiple uterine fibroids.
CONCLUSION: In all patients presenting with recurrent menorrhagia and adnexal tumor the possibility of a granulosa cell tumor must be kept in mind during evaluation.

Published: November 2020

This study attempts to determine whether the prolonged stay of people in an unfavorable environment, in our case the oil and gas (OG) region, affects their psychophysical health, makes them vulnerable, prone to psychosomatic diseases, creates psychological problems, or leads to internal conflicts. Participants (typically healthy people) were asked to answer questions based on the multidimensional fatigue inventory (MFI-20). The scale reflects the following five main dimensions of fatigue: General fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, mental fatigue, and reduced motivation. Three of them, namely general fatigue, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue, are of particular importance for this work. The study revealed the psychological profiles of the population of the study region and concluded that the OG region poses a significant risk to public health with all the ensuing consequences.

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: The high number of cases of members of the Voting Officers Group (KPPS) who was sick and died in the simultaneous elections in 2019 is a record that the implementation of the simultaneous election implementation system has not been maximized, particularly relating to the recruitment and selection of election organizers.
AIM: This study aims to determine the implementation of the health inspection program for KPPS members in the recruitment process in West Nusa Tenggara Province in 2019.
METHODS: The research design used in this study was non-experimental with a descriptive quantitative approach to describe a situation as it is. While the data analysis technique used is using descriptive statistics with percentages.
RESULTS: The results showed that the majority of respondents’ health inspection planning was categorized as good (50%), while the majority of respondents’ health inspection implementation was categorized as poor (60%), the majority of respondents’ health inspection evaluations were good (65%) and the health inspection for KPPS members in the recruitment process the majority of respondents are categorized as less (50%).
CONCLUSION: In an effort to prevent morbidity or even fatalities at the election organizers, it is important to have a comprehensive plan related to the health inspection process for election organizer candidates including the road map for medical check-ups for election administrators.
Gallstone Ileus: A Case Report
Authors: Darmadi Darmadi , Ruslie Riska Habriel , Samosir Carolus Trianda
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Gallstone ileus (GI) is a mechanical obstruction in the intestinal lumen due to gallstones. Its prevalence is very low, but it possesses a high mortality rate. It is commonly found in older female population.
CASE REPORT: We reported a case of GI in a 61-year-old Chinese female, who presented with acute onset of abdominal pain, nausea, and intermittent vomiting. On water-soluble contrast follow-through examination, she showed total bowel obstruction on the level of terminal ileum due to suspected gallstone. Exploratory laparotomy with procedure of enterolithotomy and stone removal by milking the bowel distal to the stone were performed. Post-operative course was uneventful, but the patient was discharged at post-operative day 8. Furthermore, the patient underwent cholecystectomy and fistula repair in the following days (two-stage surgery). She was followed up in the clinic for 12 months and the patient remained asymptomatic.
CONCLUSION: GI is a rare medical condition with a high mortality rate, commonly affecting females and elder population. It must be considered in a patient with bowel obstruction, especially with a history of cholelithiasis. Many clinicians prefer enterolithotomy alone, followed by cholecystectomy at later date, because of its lower morbidity and report high spontaneous fistula closure.

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: The frequency of breakfast consumption as a determinant of fruit and vegetable intake among children and adolescents has been poorly investigated.
AIM: In this article, we examine whether irregular food intake is associated with fruit and vegetable intake among children and adolescents.
METHODS: We use a separate analysis, with special attention being paid to the potentially changing effects of gender and age. The methodology of health behavior in school-aged children is used.
RESULTS: The obtained results show that irregular breakfast consumption among children and adolescents is associated with a low frequency of fruit and vegetable intake and that gender and age can play a decisive role. Various associations observed in different age and gender groups indicate the importance of a separate analysis of fruit and vegetable intake and types of food.
CONCLUSION: The results emphasize the importance of encouraging regular food intake while trying to increase fruit and vegetable intake among children and adolescents.

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Headache is one of the most common complaint in medical practice and the most often neurological symptom.
AIM: The aim of our study was to estimate the frequency of abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) findings in patients with non-acute headache without focal neurological abnormalities.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The results of the MRI and MRA were retrospectively analyzed. As major abnormalities, we took into account tumor, stroke, extraaxial collection, Chiari malformations, and vascular pathology (aneurysm and arterial-venous malformation).
RESULTS: Two hundred twenty-five patients fulfilled the criteria. Out of 225 patients with median age of 37 (18–85) years, 78% of the patients were female and 22% were male. In total, we found 8.4% of major abnormalities. On MRI head scan without MRA analysis, we found 50.7% of normal finding, 47.1% of minor abnormalities and 2.2% of major abnormalities. On MRA scan, we found we found 52.9% of normal finding, 40.9% of minor abnormalities, and 6.2% of major abnormalities.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates a low but important diagnostic yield of MRI and MRA examination for patients with non-acute headache without focal neurological abnormalities.

Published: November 2020

AIM: The aim of this study is interpreting the dental student’s knowledge of light-curing units from different universities and colleges in Riyadh city and to evaluate the intensity of the light output of light-emitting diode (LED)-curing devices in dental school clinics in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
METHODS: One hundred eighty-two visible light-curing (VLC) units were randomly selected to have their light intensity output evaluated using Demetron® L.E.D. Radiometer – Kerr among dental school clinics in Riyadh city. The university hospitals we visited are King Khalid University Hospital, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University Hospital, Dar Al Uloom University Hospital, Alfarabi colleges’ dental clinics, and Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University Hospital. To evaluate the knowledge of dental students about light intensity output, a questionnaire was given to the students.
RESULTS: Out of the VLC units, 22 units (12%) measured inadequate intensity, 91 units (50%) measured marginal intensity, and 69 (37%) measured adequate intensity. The statistical significance was up to p < 0.05, p = 0. Most students and interns did not think that light-curing unit intensity influenced the tooth pulp (55.8%) and also reported not know the minimum wavelength of light cure intensity (62%).
CONCLUSION: A significant difference was found between the light cure intensities in universities. As for the students’ knowledge, the research revealed poor insight toward basic concepts of VLC units and its maintenance.

Authors: Elfasakhany Fathy М. , Karawagh Abdulah M. , Siddiqui Shahid S. , Eldamarawi Magdi A.
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Uncoupling proteins (UCP) and β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene polymorphism have been implicated in the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) but the results are inconsistent and inconclusive.
AIM: The aim was to investigate the relationship between -3826A/G (rs1800592) of UCP 1 and ADRB3 Trp64Arg (C/T) (rs4994) gene polymorphism and the incidence of T2DM among Saudis.
METHODS: Genotyping of both UCP1 and ADRB3 genes was carried out in 110 healthy controls and 108 unrelated Saudis with T2DM using polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism.
RESULTS: The genotype and allele frequencies of the UCP1 gene did not differ significantly between diabetic subjects and controls (p > 0.05). However, the CT genotype and the T allele of ADRB3 were higher in diabetic subjects compared with the controls while the CC genotype and C allele were higher in the controls relative to the diabetic subjects (Odds ratios [OR]: 7.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.23–14.59, p < 0.001 and OR: 7.434 95% CI: 4.026–13.39, p < 0.001, respectively).
CONCLUSION: The UCP1 -3826A/G polymorphism may not be associated with the susceptibility to T2DM among Saudis while T allele of ADRB3 may be related to the risk of T2DM, whereas the CC genotype and C allele may confer protection to T2DM.
Impact of Breast Milk Secretory Immunoglobulin A on Infants Acute Gastroenteritis
Authors: Dimitrovska-Ivanova Marija , Zisovska Elizabeta
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Acute gastroenteritis is one of the most common infections in childhood and it can be especially dangerous in the first 6 months of life with a higher risk of moderate and severe dehydration, especially in infants who are not exclusively breastfed. Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) is the first line of defense on the intestinal epithelium from pathogenic microorganisms and intestinal toxins.
AIM: The aim of this study was to determine whether breast milk sIgA has some protective effect on the intestinal epithelium as well as on the severity and duration of the clinical signs in infants with acute gastroenteritis depending on the type of nutrition.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 23 infants with acute gastroenteritis divided into two groups based on the feeding patterns (type of milk) were included in the study. Investigated indicators were severity of symptoms, dehydration degree, and the need for parenteral rehydration.
RESULTS: We identified a statistically significant association between group affiliation and the sIgA levels in stool between the first and the second groups (p = 0.001346). The most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in infants was Rotavirus. Our study has shown that exclusive breastfeeding reduces the risk of Rotavirus infection, especially in the first 6 months of life, OR = 0.0758, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.0071–0.8074).
CONCLUSION: The presence of breast milk sIgA in infants has an effect on the severity of the clinical picture of acute gastroenteritis by reducing the frequency of vomiting, the number and severity of diarrheal episodes, the risk of moderate and severe dehydration, and fever frequency.
Les initiations martiales malaises dans l’arène numérique : corps fragmenté ou corps totalisé ?
Authors: Facal Gabriel
Published: November 2020

Les pratiques de combat de la région sud-est asiatique du monde malais, très ancrées localement, ont connu des transformations rapides et profondes dès le début du XX e  siècle. Celles-ci ont été favorisées par l’utilisation massive des médias écrits et visuels, ainsi que par l’importation accrue des pratiques de combat asiatiques et occidentales. À partir du début des années 2000, le développement d’Internet a accéléré ces processus de mutation. La circulation de l’information et l’intensification des communications ont généré deux mouvements contraires : la mise en réseau des pratiquants et la fragmentation des groupes de pratique et de leurs autorités. Dans cet article, on analyse le saisissement du cyberespace par les pratiquants de combat malais en décrivant les narrations à l’œuvre, polarisées entre les questions de modernité et de tradition. À partir d’échanges soutenus de type participatif, entretenus depuis une quinzaine d’années avec de nombreuses communautés de pratiquants actives sur Internet, on examine les impacts de l’activité sur le cyberespace en termes d’engagement physique, des rapports socio-relationnels impliqués et des développements sociologiques consécutifs. Ces derniers révèlent des reconfigurations des rapports statutaires au sein des groupes de pratique et des hybridations entre pratiques, convergeant vers l’apparition de nouveaux usages et représentations du corps combattant.

Published: November 2020

Que deviennent les habitudes corporelles des ex-sportives et ex-sportifs de haut niveau ? Quelles « traces » les différentes instances de socialisation rencontrées laissent-elles sur leurs corps ? Cet article propose une réflexion méthodologique sur une enquête mobilisant la photo elicitation pour appréhender le rapport au corps de ces individus. Il vise à apporter un éclairage sur cette technique d’enquête et à faire part des enseignements relatifs à son usage en sociologie du corps et, a fortiori , du sport. Dans une première partie, nous présentons la façon dont la sociologie dispositionnaliste peut s’articuler avec cette méthode visuelle. Nous abordons ensuite les modalités de notre protocole ainsi que les apports de ce dispositif. Enfin, nous faisons part de la délimitation floue de notre corpus visuel, liée au recrutement de certaines personnes via les réseaux sociaux. Nous montrons l’intérêt que peut avoir, pour l’analyse sociologique, le croisement de photographies produites au sein de contextes d’énonciation différents.

Hypertension, hypotension, longevity and dementia
Authors: Mossello Enrico
Published: November 2020

High blood pressure at midlife has been consistently identified as a risk factor for dementia in late life, while dementia onset is typically associated with a subsequent decline of blood pressure values. A previous meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies of anti-hypertensive treatment in old age has shown a borderline effect of active treatment in reducing the risk of dementia. The cognitive sub-studies of SPRINT (SPRINT-MIND) and of HOPE-3, published in 2019, were aimed at assessing the cognitive effect of aggressive antihypertensive treatment. In SRINT-MIND, that included subjects with high vascular risk, the risk of dementia (primary outcome) did not differ between groups, but the risk of mild cognitive impairment was significantly reduced in the treatment group. Conversely in HOPE-3, that included subjects with intermediate vascular risk, no significant cognitive effect was observed, with a trend for a better outcome in the placebo arm in the subgroup with lower baseline systolic blood pressure. These data add to observational studies showing detrimental cognitive effect of lower blood pressure values in very old subjects, with cognitive impairment, disability, and complex health problems. Regarding longevity, observational studies confirm protective effects of lower blood pressure values, although systolic blood pressure <130 mmHg are associated with greater mortality risk in subjects with cognitive and/or motor impairment. On the whole antihypertensive treatment might decrease the risk of cognitive impairment in older, robust, high vascular risk subjects. Yet the presence of cognitive impairment might modify the prognostic effect of antihypertensive treatment and advise against aggressive blood pressure lowering.

O Transtorno do Espectro Autismo (TEA), é um tema que tem gerado inúmeras discussões. A amplitude de intervenções que são possíveis para o tratamento de indivíduos com TEA apresentam inúmeras possibilidades de se viver com qualidade objetivando o bem-estar deste indivíduo. A intervenção na área educacional é necessária, mas para tanto, se faz necessário à reestruturação nas Políticas Públicas principalmente do campo educacional. Menciona-se que a inserção do autista na escola de Ensino Regular é garantida por Lei. As Políticas Nacionais de Inclusão trazem uma abordagem muito interessante sobre este tema, Para que existam escolas preparadas para receber pessoas com TEA é preciso de ações políticas no âmbito social, cultural e pedagógico, que logicamente envolve a mediação do Poder Público. Trabalhar nesta perspectiva também é exercer a cidadania, é garantir acesso a aprendizados indispensáveis conforme nos rege a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos e as leis brasileiras. A inclusão não se permeia apenas de modo físico, mas traz benfeitorias a saúde. Este artigo tem como objetivo sobre políticas as públicas, seu surgimento e os mecanismos que favorecem a inclusão de indivíduos com TEA.

Authors: Widodo Danu Triwinarko , Setyowardhani Hapsari
Published: November 2020

As the Indonesia World Records Museum (MURI)’s 2019 winner of the category of fastest growing coffee shop in 2019, Janji Jiwa strives to maintain and increase its number of customers. This study replicates Kim and Lee's (2016) research on how coffee shops in South Korea increase their brand loyalty. It employs the purposive sampling method with 206 respondents and analysis is conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings of the study reveal that customer brand identification has a positive effect on brand involvement, but no positive effect on brand-decision involvement. Both self-congruity and service value have a positive effect on brand involvement and brand-decision involvement. In addition, brand involvement and brand-decision involvement have a positive effect on brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. Finally, brand satisfaction has a positive effect on brand loyalty. Managerial implications and recommendations related to these findings will be discussed further in order to guide future research.
The outcome of PDA ligation by mini-thoracotomy in premature neonates: A single hospital experience
Authors: Al Hindi Saeed , Alhashimi Noor , Al Aradi Husain , Irshad Zainab
Published: November 2020

Background: Various thoracotomy practices have been employed for occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) which are not amenable to medical management. We report our preliminary experience of using a mini-thoracotomy approach in small premature infants and determining survival outcomes in relation to factors such as gender, birth weight, age, and type of ventilation used intraoperatively. 
Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2012, 52 consecutive premature infants with an echocardiographic diagnosis of isolated PDA, which are not amenable to medical treatment, were included. Those with chromosomal abnormalities, major cardiac congenital anomalies aside from septal defects, and infants who did not receive mechanical ventilation in the first week of life were excluded. The median gestational age was 28 weeks and the median gestational weight at surgery was 705g. The median PDA size was 3.8mm, ranging from 1.6 to 5mm. Twenty-nine patients were given non-selective ventilation and twenty-three were anesthetized using selective right-lung ventilation using a 2-F balloon catheter for arterial embolectomy. A left lateral mini-thoracotomy was performed in all infants and PDA closure achieved by double ligation using zero silk sutures.
Results: The median operative time and mean length of hospital stay were 45 minutes and 90 days, respectively. No major hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion occurred during the surgery. The survival rate until hospital discharge was 88.5%. There were no mortalities associated with the surgery itself. Six (11.5%) neonates died postoperatively because of prematurity (p-value=1.000). Pneumonia and atelectasis were among the few complications encountered post ligation. An interesting association was recognized between ventilation and surgical complications; that is neonates who underwent selective right ventilation did not experience any of the complications mentioned above in comparison to those who were put under non-selective ventilation (p-value <0.001).
Conclusion: Closure of PDA by double ligation via a left mini-thoracotomy in small premature infants proved to be safe and effective in providing pediatric surgeons adequate exposure within confined and delicate anatomic spaces. No mortalities or major complications were encountered.

Authors: Mnatsakanyan A. A. , Chuvarleeva G. V. , Volkova A. S.
Published: November 2020

The article presents the material obtained as a result of the research for 2017 and 2018, which was laid on leached chernozem in the central zone of the Krasnodar Territory in FSBSI «NGC named after P.P. Lukyanenko», on the basis of the agrotechnological department. The aim of the research was to study the effect of NanoSilicon mineral fertilization with microelements on the yield and quality of sunflower seeds. It was determined that treatment with the studied preparation shortens the interphase periods of sunflower by 1–2 days, increases the height by 8–12 cm and the biomass of one plant by 97–242 grams by the flowering phase. It was also found that NanoSilicon in the studied doses increases the yield and oil collection from 1 hectare. Thus, the inclusion of NanoSilicon preparation in the sunflower cultivation technology at a dose of 15/75/75 (seed treatment – 15 g/ha + spraying on seedlings – 75 g/ha + 75 g/ha in the phase of 5–7 pairs of leaves) significantly increases yield by 0,58 t/ha and oil collection from one hectare by 0,32 t/ha. As a result, 3,23 t/ha of seeds and 1,64 t/ha of oil were obtained.

The aim of the research is to develop the requirements for the consumer properties of salted fish products from fish of the South of Russia based on an analysis of consumer preferences obtained as a result of a sociological survey and determining the possibility of adjusting the color of salted fish products in accordance with the developed requirements. The objectives of the study are: development of requirements for the consumer properties of salted fish products from the fish of the South of Russia based on the analysis of consumer preferences obtained as a result of a sociological survey; selection of food colors for processing salted fish; determination of color characteristics (color formula) of salted fish colored with food dyes using the RGB color system using the FastColorPick computer program. The objects of the study are fish from the South of Russia: pilengas (Mugil so-iuy Basilewsky), silver carp (Hypophtalmichtys molitrix Val.), Common carp (Caprinus carpio), golgfish (Carassius auratus gibelio). As a result of the studies, it has been found that consumers prefer the color of salted fish products, which is similar to the color of the muscle tissue of salmonids. In order to obtain the desired color of salted fish products from the South of Russia, it is possible to color them with food dyes. An effect similar in color to that of salmon fish species has been obtained by staining the muscle tissue of the studied fish species with a 0,3% solution of E160c wig dye and 0,1% solution of neolin DR dye. As a result of treating fish with a solution of E120 carmine dye, a shade is formed that is not characteristic of the natural color of salmon fish.

The results of the studies of different doses of dressings on the yield and nutritional value of green mass of clover for two years use are presented. The experiment was carried out in April 2017 on No. 3 scientific field of the FSBSI «Adyghе Research Institute of Agriculture using B.A. Dospekhov’s method. The experiment was repeated 4 times, the arrangement of repetitions and variants was systematic. The object of the research was Abadzekhsky local red clover variety. In the research a moldboard method of tillage was used to a depth of 20–22 cm. Analysis of the data obtained showed that the maximum yield of green mass of clover, both I and II, was obtained in the variant with an increased background of mineral nutrition and amounted to 15,1 t/ha; 25,1 t/ha. The yield of clover hay in the first and second years of life with the application of the highest dose of nitrogen fertilizers (N45) was 4,8 t/ha and 7,2 t/ha. Complete zootechnical analysis of the nutritional value of the green mass of red clover I g. showed that 1 kg of dry feed contained 0,75–0,80 g/kg of feed units. The provision of digestible protein in the green mass of clover increased with an increase in the background of mineral nutrition 77,7–98,8 g/kg. The content of metabolizable energy in 1 kg of dry food was 8,7–9,3 MJ. The fodder value of green mass of clover of II y. showed that the content of digestible protein varied in the options within 74,0–94,1 g. The content of feed units in 1 kg of dry feed was 0,75–0,86 g, metabolic energy 9,6–10,3 mJ. The content of digestible protein, feed units and metabolizable energy on these variants corresponded to the I and II class of feed.

Strongyloides Stercoralis es un nematodo intestinal, localizado principalmente en zonas con climas cálidos y suelos húmedos, con un ciclo biológico característico. Se manifiesta desde formas asintomáticas, especialmente en zonas endémicas y cuadros clínicos cutáneos, digestivos y pulmonares, hasta cuadros clínicos mortales con fallo multiorgánico, en personas inmunodeprimidas. Su diagnóstico es complicado debido a que se realiza, fundamentalmente, mediante la visualización directa de las larvas, que son expulsadas por las heces de forma intermitente y en número bajo, haciendo que la prevalencia de este parásito esté subestimada. Se presentan dos casos, con sintomatología principalmente digestiva y respiratoria, de pacientes en tratamiento con corticoesteroides, uno de ellos con desenlace fatal. El objetivo del trabajo es alertar de que este parásito puede simular ciertas enfermedades crónicas, principalmente digestivas y respiratorias, pudiendo pasar desapercibido y estimular su búsqueda, principalmente en pacientes inmunodeprimidos, antecedentes de viajes a las regiones endémicas o los casos autóctonos.

Niger Delta oil crisis has been one of the major social, political and economic problems confronting Nigeria. As a result, Nigerians of different arts and professions have been showing concern about this persistent confrontation between the federal government and Niger Delta militant youths. Literary writers have been reflecting this oil crisis in their literary creativity in any of the genres of poetry, drama and prose. Ahmed Yerima is one of the literary writers who have reflected the Niger Delta oil crisis in their literary creativity with the publication of his Niger Delta trilogy (Hard Ground, Little Drops and Ipomu). Hard Ground, the first of the plays in the trilogy is this paper’s primary text. The play uses dramatic device of irony to advance its plot and theme as the tragedy of blood. With critical reading, the play presents tragedy of blood/ revenge tragedy from two levels of interpretation: denotative and connotative/metaphorical. The play’s success is reflected in the playwright’s use of characterisation (as seen in Baba and Nimi) and creative use of irony to advance the plot and to complicate the play’s conflicts.
