Published: December 2022

La soledad es un fenómeno emergente relacionado con la pérdida funcional de las capacidades básicas (ABVD), el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades y el aumento de la morbimortalidad.

Objetivo principal: describir la prevalencia del sentimiento de soledad en las personas > 60 años de un entorno semirrural.

Objetivos secundarios: estudiar la relación de la soledad con factores personales y uso de los servicios médicos.

Estudio transversal en el ámbito de la Atención Primaria.

Población de estudio: personas entre 60 y 85 años usuarias del Centre d'Atenció Primària Palafrugell. La variable principal es la soledad medida con una escala validada en España (Escala De Jong y Gierveld de 11 ítems [DJGS-11]). Se pasó la escala a los usuarios del centro de salud mediante entrevista telefónica. Obtuvimos una muestra aleatoria de 149 pacientes estratificada por edad y sexo.

El 54,4% de las personas estudiadas se sienten solas en Palafrugell. Existe más riesgo de probabilidad (RP) de sentirse solo entre las personas de 71-85 años que entre las de 60-70 años (p > 0,05; RP = 1,41), entre aquellos que tienen una mala percepción de la salud (p < 0,05; RP = 1,65), viven solos (p < 0,05, RP = 1,48) y no tienen carné de conducir (p < 0,05; RP = 1,48).

Las personas solas visitan el doble las urgencias hospitalarias (p < 0,05; RP = 1,98).

La soledad es un determinante de salud importante en la población anciana, ya que una de cada dos de estas personas experimenta soledad. Se han observado tendencias como la relación entre soledad y uso de los servicios sanitarios, pero son necesarios más estudios en esta dirección.

The present study was carried out to identify the most suitable temperature humidity index (THI model) among seven reported THI models as heat stress indicator on daily milk yield (DMY) of Murrah buffaloes at subtropical climatic conditions of Karnal, India. A total of 302,101 daily milk yield records from 1,434 lactational milk yield records and pedigree records of 748 buffaloes belonging to five parities spanned over a period of about 20 years (March 1994-December 2013) were obtained from ICAR-NDRI, Karnal and weather information on dry bulb temperature (Tdb), wet bulb temperature (Twb) and relative humidity (RH in %) for the corresponding period were collected from ICAR-CSSRI, Karnal. The overall least-squares mean for daily milk yield was 7.55±0.002 kg. Average daily THI was computed using each of the seven models under study. Regression analysis was performed to determine the most suitable THI model for assessing the effect of heat stress on DMY and a negative association was found between DMY (kg) and THI. THI model 5 developed by NRC (1971) was identified as the most suitable THI model to study the impact of thermal stress on DMY of Murrah expressing maximum decrease in DMY (-0.029 kg) per unit rise in THI.

Authors: RATWAN POONAM , KUMAR MANOJ , KUMAR ANSHUMAN , CHAKRAVARTY A K , MANDAL AJOY
Published: December 2022

Variance components, direct and maternal heritability were estimated for milk production efficiency traits namely, milk yield per day of lactation length (MY/LL) and milk yield per day of calving interval (MY/CI) in Jersey crossbreds maintained at Eastern Regional Station of ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, West Bengal (India). Data analyses were done using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) method with six alternative animal models (direct and including or excluding maternal associated effects). The best model was chosen after testing the improvement of the log-likelihood values and it revealed direct heritability estimates as 0.47 and 0.25 for MY/LL and MY/CI traits, respectively. Maternal heritability (0.14) was found to be important for MY/LL trait and permanent environmental maternal effect contributed 12% to the total phenotypic variance of the MY/CI. Direct heritability estimates were high (0.47) for MY/LL and moderate for MY/CI (0.25) trait suggesting that there is ample scope of improvement through selection for milk production efficiency traits in Jersey crossbred maintained at organizedherds.

Published: December 2022

To study the potential of Chia oil to enrich goats' milk with omega-3 fatty acids in comparison to Linseed oil (LSO) under tropical climate, twelve lactating goats (Beetal) divided into 3 groups (on the basis of milk yield and parity) and were randomly assigned control diet or supplemented with Linseed oil (LSO) or Chia oil as additive at 1% of dry matter intake for 60 days. Dietary inclusion of Linseed or Chia oil didn't affect DM intake, apparent dry matter digestibility, pH or total volatile fatty acid production in dairy goats, however, acetate and butyrate in LSO group and ammonical-N in Chia group were higher than control. Similarly, no significant changes were detected for milk yield and milk composition, but values were numerically higher in LSO and Chia supplemented groups in comparison to control group. Inclusion of Linseed oil improved proportion of Î±-linolenic acid in milk fat. Moreover, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were significantly improved in LSO group only. Poly unsaturated fatty acid content in milk varied from 3.09 g/100 g fat (control) to 3.86 g/100 g fat in LSO supplemented group but the differences were statistically non-significant. The proportions of omega 3 fatty acids was enhanced by 75.0 and 31.9% in LSO and Chia groups over control group that led to decrease in ratio of n-6/n-3 FA and desaturase index. It can be concluded that dietary inclusion of both oils improved the fatty acid profile of goat's milk, but Chia oil is not as effective as Linseed oil under tropical climate.

Published: December 2022

This paper explores the regulatory aspects of the Bulgarian democratic media system as an example of the transition of an Eastern European media system from communism to democracy. The new media institutions in Bulgaria came into being after the democratic changes in the country in 1989 that replaced the totalitarian propaganda media. The democratic media system has continued to develop and diversify until today encompassing traditional and new media. Media regulation is not an element of the media system, is a crucial factor of in creating media channels and the independence of the media system. Media regulation is a guarantee of media freedom and the autonomy of media institutions. The purpose of this paper is to conclude to what extent the law has been an effective tool for strengthening the media system to the public interest in Bulgaria, provided that in any period of the transition, the interference of political and economic forces in media activities has been looming.

MODELING OF IMMUNOSENESCENCE WITH AGING IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
Authors: Balık Zeynep , Bayındır Yağmur , Deniz Batu Ezgi
Published: December 2022

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease affecting multiple systems and presenting with a wide range of clinical symptoms. Disease phenotype alters from childhood to old age. The possible reasons for these differences are genetic factors, changes in the hormonal status, and the aging immune system. As a result of the disease itself or as a side effect of medications, SLE patients often experience manifestations associated with aging like cardiovascular disease and infection susceptibility. Furthermore, immunosenescence, which commonly affects the elderly subjects, may result from the continued immune system activation during the natural history of SLE. In this study, we aimed to analyze the immunosenescence in SLE, the differences and similarities in SLE phenotype at different age groups, and possible reasons for these changes.
METFORMIN AS A PROMISING ANTI-AGING AGENT IN THE TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS
Authors: Georgiev Tsvetoslav , Kabakchieva Plamena
Published: December 2022

Osteoarthritis (OA) is traditionally considered an age-related disease. Therefore, repurposing drugs with the potential to reduce cell senescence is a justified therapeutic strategy. Such is the case of metformin, the most widely used antidiabetic medicine with well-known pharmacokinetics, acceptable toxicity, and beneficial metabolic effects. Metformin could significantly impact processes associated with aging and OA such as cellular senescence, infammaging, mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired nutrient sensing. The aim of the present narrative review is to unveil the potential of metformin to modify disease course in light of aging osteoarthritic joints. The drug has pleiotropic effects on chondrocyte and extracellular matrix metabolism and may provide through AMPK-dependent and -independent pathways a meaningful improvement of OA. Mostly preclinical and retrospective cohort studies have shown that metformin exposure could lead to the regulation of cartilage homeostasis, symptomatic relief of pain and postpone surgery for those suffering from OA. Randomized control trials are warranted to justify the preliminary expectations.

This study examined strategies that homemakers adopted in financing family needs in post-pandemic era. The study was carry-out in Aba North Local Government Area (L.G.A) of Abia State, Nigeria. The researchers adopted descriptive survey research design. Purposive and simple random sample technique was used to select 240 Homemakers from 6 communities in Aba North L.G.A. The data was obtained using a structured questionnaire . The questionnaire consists of ten-item statements with two clusters. Three experts validated the questionnaire (internal consistency value=0.94). Direct contact method to was used to collect data from the participants. Means and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while hypotheses was tested with t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Some of the findings include that: homemakers prefer buying items in the market, planned spending habit, spent money within the limit of family income, family needs were always arranged according to their priority, and homemakers depended mainly on homemade food. The tested hypotheses indicate that there is no significant difference in the mean ratings of homemakers and their husbands in the income and saving management strategies adopted. It was therefore recommended that homemakers should adopt relevant and appropriate financial management strategies suitable for their income levels.
FISCAL INSTRUMENTS OF REGULATORY COMPETITION IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES TO MACROECONOMIC STABILITY DURING A PANDEMIC COVID-19

Published: December 2022

The article’s relevance lies in need for empirical testing of theoretical concepts in the new economic conditions caused by the corona crisis. The purpose of the paper is to identify the manifestations of macroeconomic instability in the period before and after the pandemic and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the use of fiscal instruments of regulatory competition to achieve the goals of the stabilization policy of the governments of countries with developed economies. The research is based on the categories of theoretical and empirical levels of knowledge. The use of the method of analysis, abstraction and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as the system-structural method, the method of idealization, made it possible to identify new forms of manifestation of the phenomenon of fiscal regulatory competition and establish its place in the implementation of the stabilization and incentive programs of the government. It was found that the stimulation of economic activity and the increase in net exports using the instruments of fiscal neo-protectionism occurs due to a simultaneous increase in employment and a decrease in the cost of domestically produced goods, accompanied by the rise in relative consumer prices for imported goods. Using economic analysis and mathematical modelling methods confirmed the hypothesis about the stimulating effect of fiscal policy. Based on the regression analysis of the mechanism of the fiscal channel of the stabilization policy of developed countries, which influenced the dynamics of the conjuncture in the period from 2018 to 2022, a conclusion was drawn regarding the strength of its impulse. It has been found that the fiscal channel less clearly transmits the impulse from the growth of expenditures (financed by loans) to the real sector. It is assumed that in the process of signal transmission, it scatters. It has been established that in the short term, in a recession, the fiscal impulse also does not cause a jump in inflation. In the context of inflationary growth in the United States, Japan, and Germany, there is a turn towards tightening monetary policy, which limits the use of financial instruments to counter the recession and therefore increases the demand for the benefit of fiscal tools to counter the recession
A rare case of giant cavernous splenic haemangioma
Authors: Juković-Bihorac Fatima , Koluh Anhel , Bečulić Hakija
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Tumors of spleen are generally rare disorders. The most common primary splenic neoplasm is haemangioma, although very rare. Giant, cavernous splenic haemangioma is extremely rare, less than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. Case report: We present a case of giant haemangioma in a 65 years-old patient. Radiological diagnostic methods were not conclusive. Magnetic resonance imaging showed en expansive, heterogenous lesion with signs of necrosis and haemorrhage in the central part. Those characteristics raised suspicion in malignant neoplasm, especially haemangiosarcoma and metastatic neoplasm.

Práticas pedagógicas na EJA: o que a sala de aula revela?
Authors: Trentin Valéria Becher
Published: December 2022

Diante da diversidade dos sujeitos que compõem a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), pode-se salientar que esta é uma modalidade de ensino que se insere no cenário educacional com questões específicas quanto às práticas pedagógicas. Com base neste contexto, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de investigar como ocorre a prática pedagógica na EJA. De abordagem qualitativa, foi utilizada a entrevista semiestruturada e a observação participante. A pesquisa teve como sujeitos uma professora e dois jovens matriculados em um Centro de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (CEJA), localizado em um município do Estado de Santa Catarina. Constatou-se que a prática utilizada pela professora na EJA é reflexo da cultura escolar construída historicamente, a qual permeia e organiza os espaços escolares, bem como normatiza o trabalho docente e, consequentemente, as relações de ensino e aprendizagem na referida modalidade. No entanto, esta é uma prática que merece ser repensada, uma vez que é destinada a atender os sujeitos que, provavelmente e pelas mais variadas circunstâncias, não tiveram acesso ao sistema educacional ou ainda retornaram às salas de aula em tal modalidade buscando superar as dificuldades vivenciadas no seu cotidiano escolar. Assim, torna-se pertinente refletir sobre a heterogeneidade dos sujeitos matriculados na turma da EJA. Dessa forma, considera-se que essa modalidade de ensino deve possibilitar aos jovens e adultos que lá se encontram os conhecimentos e as habilidades necessárias para exercerem a cidadania.
