Published: December 2022

Waktu panen tandan kelapa sawit umumnya ditentukan berdasarkan warna tandan dan jumlah brondolan yang jatuh di piringan. Pembrondolan buah secara ilmiah disebut sebagai proses absisi yang dipengaruhi kondisi endogenous tanaman dan faktor lingkungan. Pendapat umum di lapangan menyatakan bahwa tandan matang lebih cepat dan brondolan lebih banyak ketika curah hujan tinggi. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji pendapat tersebut berdasarkan uji korelasi Pearson antara curah hujan harian pada lag-0 hingga lag-20 hari dengan jumlah brondolan yang jatuh per hari. Penelitian dilakukan pada tanaman umur lima tahun di Kebun Percobaan Sei Aek Pancur, Pusat Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (PPKS) pada lima rotasi panen (interval panen 10 hari). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai dan sifat korelasi antara curah hujan dengan jumlah brondolan sangat bervariasi. Namun demikian, terdapat kecenderungan bahwa curah hujan optimal yang terjadi pada awal (lag-17 s.d. 20), pertengahan (lag-9 s.d. 12), dan akhir fase pematangan buah (1-3 hari menjelang tandan siap panen) dapat mempercepat pematangan tandan dan meningkatkan jumlah buah yang membrondol. Oleh karena itu, praktisi perkebunan sebaiknya mempersiapkan sarana dan prasarana panen yang memadai khususnya pada musim hujan ketika cadangan buah cukup tinggi dan peluang banyak tandan matang secara bersamaan lebih tinggi.

Published: December 2022

The article raises the problem of the development of traditional agriculture branches among the Karakalpaks – horticulture and melon growing. The purpose of the article is to consider the features of traditional agrarian practices among the Karakalpaks, their significance in the modern life of the people, and the identification of transformations in them. To build a fuller picture, the methods and skills accumulated by the people and allowing them to engage successfully in agriculture have been analyzed. The include the centuries-old experience of using the irrigation system in the Amu Darya delta, leaching, soil fertilization, the use of various technologies by the local population in cultivating the land, types of fruit crops, an agricultural calendar which was used to determine agricultural work, a phenological calendar that predicts the weather. The study showed that the natural and geographical features of Karakalpakstan formed their own agricultural culture among the inhabitants of the region and contributed to the development of certain skills in this industry, thanks to which it was possible to obtain high yields. In addition to analyzing literary sources, the author draws on his own field materials, which were collected during an ethnographic expedition to the areas with the most developed agrarian traditions. The obtained information provided an opportunity to trace the development of horticulture and melon growing, the impact of the ecological crisis on these branches of management, to identify the features of traditional agricultural skills and knowledge, and demonstrate their importance in the modern life of Karakalpaks.
Age gradations of the young generation at the Karakalpaks: ethnological optics (formulation of the problem)
Authors:   Karakalpak Research Institute for the Humanities, Karakalpak Branch of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, Zhabbarbergenov Timur R.
Published: December 2022

In modern Uzbekistan, one of the fundamental directions of the internal policy of the republic is the development of new approaches to youth policy. The article problematizes the question of the traditional ideas of the Karakalpak about the age limits of the younger generation, about their preservation and the terms related to the youth, which are present in the Karakalpak language. The purpose of the article is to determine the age limit (based on the restriction), to study on the field material the former and modern terms used in the vocabulary of youth among the Karakalpaks. The article is based on the author’s field materials, collected during ethnographic expeditions in a number of regions of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, such as Takhtakupyr, Chimbay, Muynak. For example, in the modern colloquial vocabulary of these areas, the following terms are often used: in relation to young men – bala (boy), zhas öspirim (young man), er bala (man), zhas zhigit (young guy), zhigit (guy), uilengen zhigit (married guy), for women – kyzalak (girl), zhas öspirim (younger), boy zhetken қyz (girl), zhas kelinshek (young daughter-in-law). The analysis of the collected materials showed that the traditional terms, which denote youth, were passed down from generation to generation and are present in modern youth vocabulary. However, the identified new words in relation to young people allow us to talk about innovations that have appeared under the influence of globalisation. These terms are used only in the youth environment, not extending to the vocabulary of the older generation.
Ethnicity and tradition in changing communication contexts: a view through the “Galaxies” of Gutenberg, Makljuen and Zuckerberg
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Sagitova Liliya V.
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the phenomena of ethnicity and tradition in the context of the development of society from the traditional type to the globalised one. In the conducted analysis of various approaches to their interpretation, the vulnerable positions of such trends as primordialism, constructivism, and instrumentalism are considered. As an alternative, helping to eliminate controversial points, an attempt is made to use the theories of M.G. Мakljuen and M. Castells. Application of the paradigm of informationalism provides an opportunity to use the optics of communication to analyse the transformation of the semantic and functional content of the cultural/ethnic tradition in the life of society. The influence of the evolution of mass media on the existence of a cultural tradition can be traced within the framework of various social systems: a primitive tribal community and an agrarian society; industrial and post-industrial; globalized and digital society. A comparative analysis of the characteristic features of the social development of each of the types of societies is intended to reveal the factors influencing the transformation of the functional and semantic continuum of traditional/ethnic culture in different eras. Among essential aspects of these changes are the following: changing the role and function of traditional culture in the life of society; transformation of subject-object relations in the communication field that forms ideas about ethnicity and tradition. This, in turn, significantly affects the identification processes at the personal and group levels of the modern society.

Lebanese Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Industry: Investing in the Pharmaceutical Industry to Promote Exports
Authors:   Canadian University Dubai, Billi Noaman Samar , Lakkis Haissam ,   Lebanese International University
Published: December 2022

Compared to importation, the pharmaceutical production in Lebanon is still weak. The generics prescription is neglected according to the medicines of origin as only big brands dominate the Lebanese market. Despite the agreements between Lebanon and other Arab countries, the nature of the regulatory environment in the latter is likely to be a substantial obstacle that prevents the access of the Lebanese medicines to the markets of the Arab countries. On the other hand, the development of a new market access remains a necessity for increasing the volume of pharmaceutical exports. This paper aims to demonstrate, based on the Lebanese market analysis the significance of supporting local pharmaceutical manufacturing since it contributes as a primary factor in reducing the cost of the medical bill for citizens, public institutions, and payers. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations to strengthen the pharmaceutical sector as well as to stimulate and develop the local production of pharmaceutical medications.

Published: December 2022

Although there are some epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of insulin resistance, for most of them authors did not replicate their findings, and most are focused on populations of European ancestry, limiting the generalizability. In the Epigenetics in Pregnancy (EPIPREG; n = 294 Europeans and 162 South Asians) study, we conducted an EWAS of insulin resistance in maternal peripheral blood leukocytes, with replication in the Born in Bradford (n = 879; n = 430 Europeans and 449 South Asians), Methyl Epigenome Network Association (MENA) (n = 320), and Botnia (n = 56) cohorts. In EPIPREG, we identified six CpG sites inversely associated with insulin resistance across ancestry, of which five were replicated in independent cohorts (cg02988288, cg19693031, and cg26974062 in TXNIP; cg06690548 in SLC7A11; and cg04861640 in ZSCAN26). From methylation quantitative trait loci analysis in EPIPREG, we identified gene variants related to all five replicated cross-ancestry CpG sites, which were associated with several cardiometabolic phenotypes. Mediation analyses suggested that the gene variants regulate insulin resistance through DNA methylation. To conclude, our cross-ancestry EWAS identified five CpG sites related to lower insulin resistance.
Effect of High-radiant Emittance and Short Curing Time on Polymerization Shrinkage Vectors of Bulk Fill Composites
Authors: Hirata R , Sampaio CS , Atria PJ , Giannini M , Coelho PG , Yamaguchi S
Published: December 2022

Purpose

To evaluate the effect of short curing time using a high-radiant emittance light on polymerization shrinkage vectors in different consistency bulk-fill composites (BFRCs) using micro-computed tomography.

Methods and Materials

Radiopaque zirconia fillers were homogeneously incorporated and functioned as radiopaque tracers into two regular-paste: TBFill (Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill) and TPFill (Tetric PowerFill), and two flowable (n=6): TBFlow (Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill) and TPFlow (Tetric PowerFlow) resin composites. Class I cavities (4 mm depth × 4 mm length × 4 mm width) were 3D-printed and filled in a single increment: TBFill and TBFlow were light-activated using a Bluephase Style 20i (10 seconds in high-mode); TPFill and TPFlow were light-activated using a Bluephase PowerCure (three seconds). The same adhesive system (Adhese Universal) was used for all groups. Microcomputed tomography scans were obtained before and after light-activation. Filler particle movement was identified by polymerization shrinkage vectors at five depths (from 0–4 mm): top, top-middle, middle, middle-bottom and bottom.

Results

TPFlow showed the lowest total vector displacement, followed by TBFlow, TBFill and TPFill, significantly different among each other (p<0.05). Generally, BFRCs showed decreased vector displacement with increased depth, and higher displacement at the top-surface (p<0.05). Qualitative analysis showed a similar pattern of vector magnitude and displacement for groups TBFill and TPFill, with displacement vectors on occlusal (top) surfaces toward the center of the restoration from the top to middle areas, and relatively limited displacement at the bottom. TBFlow and TPFlow showed more displacement on the occlusal (top).

Conclusions

Short curing time with high-radiant emittance on fast-curing BFRCs was shown to be a feasible option in terms of vector displacement. Flowable BFRCs presented lower vector displacement than their regular-viscosity versions.
Local Anesthetic Efficacy in Marijuana Users and Nonusers: A Pilot Study
Authors: Moran Michael C. , Heaton Lisa J. , Leroux Brian G. , Flake Natasha M.
Published: December 2022

Objective:

Despite the common clinical impression that patients with a history of drug use are challenging to anesthetize with local anesthesia, literature on this clinical phenomenon is sparse. The objective of this pilot study was to assess if differences in local anesthetic efficacy for dental treatment exist between marijuana users and nonusers.

Methods:

Subjects were healthy adult males and females who qualified as either chronic marijuana users or nonusers. All subjects had an asymptomatic, vital maxillary lateral incisor that responded to an electric pulp test (EPT). A standard maxillary infiltration injection technique was employed using 1.7 mL 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine over the test tooth, and the tooth was tested with an EPT at 3-minute intervals.

Results:

A total of 88% of nonusers (15/17) and 61% of users (11/18) were successfully anesthetized, defined as anesthesia onset within 10 minutes and lasting at least 15 minutes. The difference in the proportion of anesthetized subjects was not statistically significant (P = .073). For subjects with successful anesthesia, there was no significant difference between nonusers and users in the onset or duration of anesthesia.

Conclusion:

No significant differences in local anesthetic efficacy with respect to local anesthetic success, onset, or duration of action were found between chronic marijuana users and nonusers. However, larger studies are likely needed to provide more definitive evidence.
Opioid-Prescribing Patterns in Connecticut and New Jersey Following Third Molar Extractions
Authors: Halepas Steven , Christiansen Cameron , Koch Alia , Aziz Shahid R. , Shafer David M. , Ferneini Elie M.
Published: December 2022

Objective

In recent years, opioid misuse has resulted in much scrutiny on providers' prescribing habits. The purpose of this study was to analyze prescribing habits in the context of third molar extractions as a model for promoting better postsurgical pain management.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional survey of oral maxillofacial surgeons in Connecticut and New Jersey. A total of 291 practitioners were contacted to complete an online survey using Qualtrics Research Services to determine prescribing habits following third molar extractions.

Results

The most common approach for postoperative analgesia was nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and an opioid/acetaminophen (APAP) combination as 2 separate prescriptions, reported by 36% of participants. The combination of hydrocodone/APAP was the most common opioid formulation, and an average of 10.93 ± 4.51 opioid pills were prescribed with a maximum of 20 pills reported. Most providers (79%) consistently provided patients with opioid information. Only 22% reported always checking opioid-monitoring programs; however, providers were more likely to check if prescribing more than ∼11 opioid pills (P = .0228). Most reported using dexamethasone (82%) and bupivacaine (56%) intraoperatively, while ketorolac was less common (15%). No association was found between the quantity of opioids prescribed and the use of intraoperative ketorolac, steroids, or bupivacaine (P > .05).

Conclusion

There remains to be a universal standard for using opioids for postoperative pain management in dentistry. Providers should be mindful when prescribing opioids and consider using NSAIDs and APAP for baseline pain plus a separate opioid prescription for breakthrough pain. Additional focus on minimizing the quantity of opioids prescribed and self-reflecting on prescribing and practice habits to further reduce opioid-related complications is warranted.

Este artigo tem por objetivo socializar multiatividades planejadas e vivenciadas nas perspectivas agroecológica, multidisciplinar e integrativa que buscam disseminar os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. As multiatividades foram realizadas, no ano de 2019, pelo Projeto de Extensão Educação para Transformação: Meio Ambiente e Saúde da Universidade do Vale do Itajaí/SC (Univali). O público-alvo são mulheres agricultoras da região do Vale do Itajaí/SC, sendo ampliado para docentes, acadêmicos, professores e alunos das escolas estaduais tendo o apoio da Coordenadoria Regional de Educação (CRE) de Itajaí e comunidade em geral, atingindo aproximadamente 2.500 pessoas diretamente e 12.000 pessoas indiretamente. A abordagem metodológica baseou-se na sistemática do Círculo de Cultura freiriano, por meio de Rodas de Diálogo. Optou-se por elucidar as multiatividades, com a intenção de qualificar as variadas estratégias utilizadas, inferindo-se que essas contribuíram para o fortalecimento, a autonomia, o empoderamento e o protagonismo do público envolvido na construção dos saberes agroecológicos. O processo de organização e gestão dos produtos agroecológicos provenientes dos cultivos das mulheres agricultoras na Feira de Economia Solidária e nas cestas dos produtos a partir do modelo de Comunidade que Sustenta a Agricultura (CSA) proporcionaram segurança e soberania alimentar, emancipação financeira e inclusão social. A gestão de resíduos reduziu em mais de noventa toneladas de resíduos sólidos orgânicos minimizando impactos ambientais. O sistema agrícola baseado em princípios agroecológicos apresenta altos níveis de diversidade e resiliência e tem um potencial localmente grande de produzir alimentos saudáveis e necessários para as comunidades rurais e urbanas.

O aumento das doenças e agravos não transmissíveis – doenças multifatoriais, que possuem em comum fatores comportamentais de risco modificáveis e não modificáveis –, somado ao processo de envelhecimento populacional repercutem na necessidade de cuidadores para auxiliarem nos cuidados, sejam eles de promoção e recuperação da saúde ou paliativos. Nesse sentido, o cuidador se torna central nas políticas públicas de saúde e também necessita ser cuidado pelos profissionais. Um projeto de extensão universitária desenvolvido em um município do Sul do Brasil tem desenvolvido ações junto aos cuidadores de pacientes vinculados a um Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar de um hospital. Dentre as ações extensionistas, destaca-se a sensibilização de pessoas da comunidade para o cuidado. Este artigo trata de um relato de experiência sobre o evento “Parada do Cuidador: um momento para si” realizada no ano de 2019. O objetivo é relatar os resultados de enquete sobre a experiência de cuidar realizada com pessoas da comunidade que participaram do evento. De 25 pessoas que responderam à enquete, 13 (52%) já cuidaram de alguém. Destes 13 que já cuidaram, 11 (85%) apontaram a experiência como boa. A maioria das pessoas 16 (64%) entrevistadas durante a ação já conheceram algum cuidador, o que mostra de algum modo, certo reconhecimento daquela pessoa que assume tal papel e dos cuidados prestados. No entanto, as informações coletadas, ainda indicam a necessidade de reconhecer e apoiar os cuidadores, desafio ainda negligenciado pelas políticas públicas brasileiras.

The Relationship between Musical Skills and Creativity in Children
Authors: Qarri Elizabetë
Published: December 2022

Developing creativity at school is an essential element in teaching activities. One of the many factors that are crucial for developing creativity, according to much relevant research, is the developed artistic skills among the most prominent and musical skills as determinants for the development of creative thinking and skills.
This study was conducted to determine whether this association of musical skills with levels of creativity is complementary and realistic in elementary schools in Kosovo. Therefore, 106 students aged 7–12 in several elementary schools in Pristina were surveyed through two standard instruments, a protocol for evaluating student achievement in the subject of music education and through the Williams Standard Test of Creative Thinking (WCTT 1994).
The results showed a strong connection between musical skills and students’ creativity, these findings are also complementary in Kosovo, where according to the results we found that there is a significant statistical correlation between musical skills and creative thinking, in other words, students who display higher levels of musical skills also manifest themselves with a higher level of creativity in the educational process and in everyday life, as well as those students with a solid level (many of well) of musical skills have a high level of creative thinking and vice versa.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is prescribed to treat various gastrointestinal pathologies. One of the most important and significant stages of FMT is selection of the donor. In recent years, special attention has been paid to checking the biomaterial for genes marking resistance to various groups of antibiotics. This study aimed to analyze the occurrence of mef and ermB drug resistance genetic markers in population of various age groups, including breastfed infants, and to determine microbiological composition of the flora of distal part of the intestine of potentially healthy volunteering FMT donors. A total of 52 biological samples (46 stool samples and 6 breast milk samples) were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The macrolides resistance gene (mef) was detected in 97.8% of stool samples (different age groups), the gene marking resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramin (ermB) — in 93.5%. In the isolated "mother-child" group, the mef gene was found in all samples of breast milk and feces. The ermB gene in this group was found in 3 out of 6 breast milk samples and 4 out of 6 infant stool samples. Since the mef and ermB genetic determinants were identified not only among in adults but also in infants, it was suggested that transplant material (feces) containing these genes can be used for FMT. The analysis of microbiological composition of stool samples from 23 healthy volunteers (potential FMT donors) revealed that it rarely (in 8.7% of cases only) corresponds to what is considered to be a normal microbiota of the intestine's distal part.
Concepts and main signs of administrative responsibility: analysis of modern administrative and legal literature
Authors: Drofych Yu.V.
Published: December 2022

In the article, the author states some principle theses regarding the essence of administrative responsibility. In particular, it was determined that in modern concepts of administrative responsibility, the problem of assessing law from general systemic and philosophical positions, which reflects the general laws and principles of society, integrating the substantive and phenomenal characteristics of socio-legal reality, which includes theoretical and methodological criteria for assessing law in relation to absolute (legal substance) and derived order (optimal requirements of social reality, concentrated in traditional mentality).

The author supports the thesis that one of the defects of the administrative-delict legislation is the normative consolidation of provisions regarding the possibility of establishing the composition of a misdemeanor and responsibility for its commission, as well as the application of relevant norms outside the Criminal Code. This approach to the construction of legislation on administrative responsibility is a condition for the occurrence of collisions, which actually discredit both the legislator and the law enforcer. Emphasis is placed on the fact that administrative offenses are socially harmful, anti-social phenomena. Recognizing administrative offenses as socially harmful, and not socially dangerous, is the criterion by which it becomes possible to distinguish between crimes and administrative offenses.

On the basis of the above, the author believes that administrative responsibility is a complex legal mechanism of the state’s response to the manifestation of administrative wrongdoing, which contains material and legal grounds and the procedural order of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. The basis of administrative responsibility is differentiated administrative wrongdoing, composition of administrative offense; administrative penalty (substantive legal aspect) and procedural form.
Legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine: analysis of legal doctrine
Authors: Byelov D.M , Danko V.Y.
Published: December 2022

It is indicated that constitutional control is defined as one of the main elements of legal protection of the constitution. The difficulty of defining its nature is expressed in the ambiguity of approaches among scientists regarding the analysis of this concept. The science of constitutional law distinguishes two approaches to the understanding of constitutional control – broad and narrow. The authors note that, summarizing the specified formulations, it can be argued that they reflect only one of the aspects of understanding constitutional control – from the point of view of the functional approach. That is, to a greater extent,the emphasis is placed on checking the constitutionality of laws and other acts. In the understanding of the authors, supporters of the functional approach, constitutional control is only constitutional regulatory control.The research presented in the work gives grounds for the conclusion that the issue of clarifying the legal nature of the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine is ambiguous and has not yet been resolved. This is connected, first of all, with a complex and multifaceted understanding of the role, status and place of the body of constitutional jurisdiction in the system of state authorities. The absence of a legislative definition of this concept does not contribute to clarifying the nature of the Court’s legal positions. Despite this, the term is actively used both by the Court in its decisions and by the scientific community in order to reflect the arguments that determine the position of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on law enforcementissues. Legal positions also acquire normative mandatory content, which follows from the form of expression in which they are reflected – acts of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. At the same time, legal positions can be expressed both in the motivating and in the resolutive part of the decision. The need to ensure the immutability of the Court’s legal positions is a continuation of the principle of legal certainty and stability of the Constitution as the Basic Law of Ukraine. However, the question of the possibility of revision of legal positions by the Constitutional Court becomes more urgent in connection with the partial politicalinvolvement of the Court in the previous years of its activity, which requires revision of certain positions due to changes in the socio-political structure of the state. The outlined question, along with others, is definitely an additional subject of a separate scientific study.
Global level of international environmental security in modern international environmental law
Authors: Holovach A.Y.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the analysis of the global level of international environmental security. It is argued that the global level of international environmental security is a state of the environment that prevents the deterioration of the environment and the threat to human health across the globe.The article examines major international instruments that address the environmental issues of the global level of international environmental security: the Ozone Layer Convention and the Montreal Protocol on Ozone Depleting Substances; the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol to it limiting and reducing greenhouse gas emissions not regulated by the Montreal Protocol, as well as other substances that cause or can cause climate change; The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, the Nagoya Protocol on the Access to Genetic Resources and Sharing on a Fair and Equal Benefit from Their Utilization, the Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Additional Protocol on Liability and Compensation for the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety; Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants; International Tropical Timber Agreement; International Tropical Timber Agreement; United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Countries Affected by Serious Drought and / or Desertification, especially in Africa. In analyzing international instruments that operate at the global level of international environmental security, attention is paid not only to the practice of foreign states in the implementation of the provisions of these conventions, but also to the contribution of Ukraine to their implementation. The conclusion is drawn to the need for the development and endorsement by the world community ofspecific strategies, action plans and immediate measures that can resist or even eliminate the consequences of dangerous environmental situations. The peculiarity of these measures is their scale: they must be carried out for the entire planet Earth.

The present paper proposes an investigation of the use of comics and sequential art as a qualitative research method and a tool in a social innovation approach. It presents an exploratory research on the artistic practice of the ArtiViStory Collective, as a group of artists and faculty members from the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca (UAD) working in the field of urban comics that have developed a specific methodology for using comics in research processes by creating specific artworks as part of the data collection process, of the data analysis process and by using curatorial approaches for results’ dissemination to different audiences. Starting by inquiring the use of documentary comics and sequential storytelling as an emerging qualitative research method, the article presents the specificity of this case study that renders a new approach in Romania on an urban comics-based research process by focusing on the evolution of the group as a community of practice as well as on the analysis of the specificity of their methodology and working process that act as catalyzers for engaging audiences in urban transitions.
