Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of biochar dose from urban waste and the concentration of eco-enzymes and their interactions on the growth and yield of shallots. The research was carried out in the greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture,Warmadewa University with an altitude of 25 m above sea level, and took place from April to June 2021. This study used a factorial randomized block design method consisting of two factors. The first factor is the dose of biochar with 4 levels (0; 5; 10; and 15 tons ha-1), while the second factor is the concentration of eco-enzyme which consists of 4 treatment levels (0; 7.5; 15.0; and 22.5 ml l-1). The results showed that the interaction between the dose of biochar and the concentration of eco-enzyme had a significant effect on the fresh weight of the stover per clump and had a very significant effect on the dry weight of the stover per clump, but had no significant effect on other variables. The treatment dose of biochar and eco-enzyme had a very significant effect on all observed variables. The results showed that the biochar and eco-enzyme treatments had a very significant effect on all observed variables. The application of biochar and eco-enzyme has a very significant effect on all observed variables. The provision of biochar treatment from urban waste was able to increase the fresh weight of tubers in the 15-ton ha-1 treatment, which was an increase of 39.40% compared to without biochar, while the highest fresh fruit weight was obtained in the eco-enzyme treatment of 22.5 ml l-1, which increased by 29.77% compared without eco-enzyme.

The development of subak as a tourist attraction will be in line with the development of Balinese cultural tourism, considering that both are developed based on Balinese culture. This is an effort to maintain the sustainability of subak while controlling the conversion of paddy fields and supporting environmental sustainability. Today's tourists prefer to see beautiful scenery. Agrotourism is one type of tourism that utilizes agricultural business as a tourist attraction. One of the efforts made to continue to develop tourism but still maintain the existence of subak itself is to combine these two things into a new tourist attraction. The attraction that can be developed by combining tourism with agriculture is through the concept of agrotourism. Agrotourism is a tourism development that offers farmer activities in the fields as a tourist attraction. Not only the activities, but the use of agricultural products can also be used as agro-tourism-based tourism products. This research was conducted with the following objectives (1) How is the participation of farmers in the development of agro-tourism and (2) the factors that influence the participation of farmers on the development of agro-tourism. This research was conducted in Subak Jatiluwih, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency. The location of this research was determined purposively on the basis of the consideration that Jatiluwih Subak is one of the subaks targeted for agro-tourism development. The number of samples in Subak Jatiluwih is 199 people. The highest farmer participation is in the 80.2% agro-tourism development planning.

Case Report : Lymphocytic Lobulitis With Fibrocystic Disease Of The Breast
Authors: Chakraborty, Tannistha , Dr. Shreya Shetty , Dr. K.S Ravishankar
Published: November 2021

Lymphocytic lobulitis , is a fibroinflammatory benign condition of the breast which is associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This benign condition is uncommon and may be mistaken for inflammatory carcinoma of the breast. We report the case of a 61 year old female patient who presented with a lump in the right breast with a history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The lump was associated with discharge and recent onset pain. On examination a vague lump which was non mobile, involving the right breast was palpable. A single firm mobile right axillary lymph node was palpable. Peau d’orange or orange peel appearance which occurs due to blockage of sub dermal lymphatics by tumour infiltrates, was noted over the skin. Clinically the features were suggestive of inflammatory carcinoma. Mammogram suggested an inflammatory carcinoma. Ultrasound of the breast was suggestive of right duct ectasia and diffusely thickened breast with a Breast Imaging Radiology and Data System (BIRADS) score of 3. An incision biopsy was performed with histopathology confirming the lesion as lymphocytic lobulitis with fibrocystic breast disease. The patient was symptomatically managed with analgesics and reassured. She was observed on regular follow up and is currently healthy. Lymphocytic lobulitis is a rare benign lesion which mimics carcinoma. Clinically it presents with ill defined single or multiple breast lumps in young or middle aged women with thickening and hardening of skin. Magnetic Resonance Imaging better differentiates this otherwise indolent lesion from malignancies. A histopathological examination is usually confirmatory and required to alleviate concerns of patients regarding presence of a malignancy which has a much fearsome physical and psychological implication
Analysis Of Anticancer Activity And Its Molecular Interaction Mechanism Of Withanone, An Active Ingredient Of Withania Somnifera Using Molecular Docking
Authors: Ben Raj  , S. R. Madhan Shankar
Published: November 2021

Withania somnifera is an annual evergreen shrub from the Solanaceae family, commonly known as Indian ginseng or Ashwagandha. The plant is mainly found in Asia and Africa regions. In the traditional Indian medicinal system ayurveda, Withania somnifera is used as a rejuvenator and sold in many countries as a dietary supplement. Withanolides are the major phytochemical constituent group found in the Withania somnifera, among which withaferin A and withanone, are considered to be major withanolides, which believed to be involved in majority of biological activity of Withania somnifera. Various studies including both in vitro and in vivo have reported regarding the anticancer potential of Withania somnifera. Along with the anticancer activity of W.somnifera, the anticancer efficacy of one of its major ingredients Withaferin A is also studied previously. This study aimed to analyse the anticancer potential of another major Withanolide present in W. Somnifera, Withanone. The study used Molecular Docking method to find the molecular binding affinity of Withanone towards various cancer proteins. The four major cancer proteins were B-cell lymphoma- extra large (Bcl-xL), Cellular FLICE (c-FLIP), Glutathione Reductase (GR) and Glutathione S- Transferases (GST). The protein structure obtained from the protein data bank and the structure of the molecule obtained from pubchem were modified and prepared for Docking studies with the help of MGL Tools. The protein ligand interaction study was conducted using the software, Autodock vina. The already known anticancer standard, 5-FluoroUracil is used as standard for comparison. Output obtained from the study is visualised using molecular visualiser tool, Pymol. Like the Withaferin A, Withanone also exhibited promising anticancer activity while studied using molecular docking methods.

The article examines the history of forming the system of public administration in the Republic of Armenia after gaining independence. It is noted that the development of the fundamental draft laws of the newly formed state was carried out in close cooperation and with the active involvement of authoritative representatives of the Armenian society. The first years of independence for the Republic of Armenia were characterized by the creation of democratic institutions, the transition to a multi- party system, the development of a market economy, the reformation of the whole state system, as well as the system of state administration. The Constitution laid the legal foundations for transitioning from an authoritarian system to a democratic state and gave a legal framework to the new political system. With the development of state administration and the adoption of amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, a transition was made from a semi-presidential republic to a parliamentary form of government. Armenia shows high markers and stable growth of indicators regarding the quality of public administration. The country’s authorities apply successful world experience and follow high European standards; in this regard, digitalization is actively developing in the country, including in the field of public administration. In recent years, due to the high rates of digitalization, Armenia entered the number of countries with a high index of e-government development. A special place in the field for the development of the system of state and municipal service is given to professional training and retraining of personnel.

Published: November 2021

Building an integrated system for personnel selection, training and development is one of the most important tasks of the civil service. HR agencies are interested in finding specialists with a “portfolio of competencies”, showing flexibility and quickly adapting to any activity. To find the right candidate, you need to choose the right strategy for selecting specialists. More and more companies use the assessment center methodology despite a large number of other evaluation methods. The assessment center allows you to conduct tests in situations close to reality and comprehensively evaluate the knowledge, skills, personal, professional, and psychological characteristics necessary for working in a particular position for a particular candidate or an employee. The article presents the methodology of the assessment center when evaluating state civil servants of the administration of the Lipetsk region. The work describes methods for creating a competency model, formulates recommendations on the use of technologies of the center for evaluating civil servants, and draws conclusions based on the final results. The article presents data on the validity of the assessment center in comparison with other tools for evaluating personnel, shows the advantages and disadvantages of this method. The methodology of assessment centers can be recommended to the authorities for evaluating personnel in the civil service.

Published: November 2021

In the current context of heightened economic and socio-political conflicts around the world, there is a crisis of confidence in the state institutions that provide public security. The authors of the article consider the problem of forming the image of law enforcement agencies in the Russian Federation and abroad as a way to increase confidence in the state system. An analysis of the current state of the Russian law enforcement system’s image is presented as well as the analysis of some reasons for the negative attitude of the population towards employees of penitentiary institutions and the role of mass media in shaping the image of law enforcement agencies. The analysis of the current state of the law enforcement system’s image is supplemented by a review of the results of studies of the reputation of law enforcement bodies in the US and European countries. Successful domestic and foreign practices of reputation enhancement and improvement of interaction with the population are analyzed, such as: informing on the activity and employees of law enforcement agencies in social networks, interaction with the population through specialized electronic portals and social networks, popularization of thematic books, films and TV series etc. The authors of the article proposed a set of measures to form a positive image of the law enforcement system, increase public confidence in the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation in the framework of the Center for Public Security and Law Enforcement Research at the North-West Institute of Management of the RANEPA.
The Specter of Digital Rights
Authors:   Independent Expert, Ryabov Kirill I.
Published: November 2021

In the article, the author examines the problem of the impact of technological changes on the legal regulation of public relations, namely the development of digital technologies, how significant such an impact turned out to be and whether, in this regard, significant changes in the principles and mechanisms of legal regulation are required. It is asserted in the article that the problem how to adapt existing legal forms in order to address inevitable changes in public relationships (does not matter what the cause of these changes is: the so called “digitalization” or something else) may be relatively easily resolved. What we need to do is to segregate those aspects of the factual side of relationships in question that should have legal consequences from the rest, that is from those aspects that may be ignored by law. In order to illustrate this thesis the author considers two examples: the semiconductor chip protection and the electronic signature as a way to identify an entity who expressed a will. The author comes to the conclusion that the existing legal instruments for regulating the emerging new factual relations are sufficient, but they must be used correctly. The author gives examples of such law enforcement within the framework of the article.
Dualism of Public Relations Regulation (Legal and Regulatory Regulation)
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Popondopoulo V. F.
Published: November 2021

The article examines the issues of differentiation of the regulation of public relations, defined primarily by the differentiation of public relations, and then inherent in their legal forms (based on self-regulation) and external regulatory forms (based on power regulations). The need to renounce the traditional differentiation of the right to industry, including its division into so-called private and public law, is justified because it reflects external forms of expression of law, i.e. differentiation of legislation governing a variety of public relations, divided into private and public relations. The notion of dualism (pluralism) of the law must be replaced (or at least interpreted) with the notion of dualism of the regulation of public relations, meaning legal and regulatory regulation, with all the ensuing consequences. Such an approach implies the need to clarify the entire terminology range of jurisprudence. This article discusses issues such as the legal and regulatory regime (mechanism) of public relations regulation, legal and regulatory principles for regulating public relations, legal and regulatory legal facts, as circumstances that are the basis for the emergence, change and termination of legal relations and power relations.

Authors: Vargas José A. , Breedy Odalisca
Published: November 2021

Introduction: The Gulf of Nicoya is the most important estuary on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Information on the presence of soft corals is scattered in the literature and in museum collections. Objective: To provide a list of soft corals reported for the estuary. Methods: We compiled the literature (2002-2020) and of the specimens deposited at the Museum of Zoology, University of Costa Rica. Results: Thirty species have been reported for the estuary (Clavulariidae, Gorgoniidae and Plexauridae). Most were collected on the eastern coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, and several species were described based on estuary specimens. Conclusion: The 30 species represent 79 % of those reported for Costa Rica. Despite this relatively high percentage, the sampling effort has been modest and other sites within the estuary should be explored.

CMMSE: Study of a new symmetric anomaly in the elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic Keplerian motion
Authors: ortí jose antonio lópez , Gómez Vicemte Agost , rochera Miguel Barreda
Published: November 2021

In the present work, we define a new anomaly, $\Psi$,
termed semifocal anomaly. It is determined by the mean between the true
anomaly, $f$, and the antifocal anomaly,
$f^{\prime}$; Fukushima defined
$f^{\prime}$ as the angle between the periapsis
and the secondary around the empty focus. In this first part of the
paper, we take an approach to the study of the semifocal anomaly in the
hyperbolic motion and in the limit case correspoding to the parabolic
movement. From here we find a relation beetween the semifocal anomaly
and the true anomaly that holds independently of the movement type. We
focus on the study of the two-body problem when this new anomaly is used
as the temporal variable.\\ In the second
part, we show the use of this anomaly —combined with numerical
integration methods— to improve integration errors in one revolution.
Finally, we analyze the errors committed in the integration process
—depending on several values of the eccentricity— for the elliptic,
parabolic and hyperbolic cases in the apsidal region.
National Fontan Operation outcomes at or below 2-years-of-age compared to older than 2- years-of-age
Authors: Sainathan Sandeep , Agala Chris , Said Sameh , Mulinari Leonardo , Sharma Mahesh
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Opinion is divided about optimal early timing of
the Fontan Operation (FO). While some studies have suggested 3
years-of-age, others have shown good outcomes below 2 years-of -age. We
analyzed the impact of age ≤2-years as compared age
>2-years on short-term outcome of the FO using a large
national database. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the
Kids Inpatient Database (2009-16) for the FO was done. The groups were
divided into those who underwent FO at age ≤2-years (EF) as compared to
age >2-years (LF). The data was abstracted for
demographics, clinical characteristics, and operative outcomes. Standard
statistical tests were used. Results: 3381 patients underwent
FO during this period of which 1482 (44%) were EF. The mean ages of the
EF and LF were 1.6 and 4.3, respectively (p< 0.001). LF were
more likely to be non-White, female, and have Heterotaxy syndrome. HLHS
was more common in EF. There was no difference in the discharge
mortality, length of stay, disposition (majority went home), and mean
total charges incurred. The overall discharge mortality was low at 0.7%
(24/3381). In multivariate analysis: cardiac arrest, acute kidney
injury, mechanical ventilation >96 hours, endocardial
cushion defect and non-White ethnicity were predictors of a mortality
and not age. Conclusion: Contemporary outcomes for FO are
excellent with equivalent short-term outcomes in both the age groups.
Occurrence of postoperative complications, non-white ethnicity and
endocardial cushion defect diagnosis were predictive of a negative
outcome.

The evaluation of epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with Behçet’s disease
Authors: Sağlam Gonca , Turgut Mehmet , Gülcü Oktay
Published: November 2021

Background/Aim. Epidemiological studies indicate that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common in almost all patients diagnosed with autoimmune disease. This study aimed to examine whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness (EATT) and carotid intima-media (CIM) thickness (CIMT) differ between patients with Beh?et?s disease (BD) and healthy individuals. Methods. A total of 40 healthy subjects as controls and 40 BD patients with musculoskeletal complaints were enrolled in this cross-sectional prospective study. Socio-demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were obtained and compared between groups. The Beh?et?s Disease Current Activity Form was used to assess disease activity. Both groups underwent echocardiography in order to measure EATT and CIMT. Results. The mean thickness of EAT (5.70 ? 1.05 mm; 2.50 ? 0.61 mm, respectively, p < 0.001) and CIM (0.68 ? 0.05 mm; 0.63 ? 0.06 mm, respectively, p = 0.002) were significantly in-creased in BD patients compared to the control group. A positive correlation was observed between EATT and age (r = 0.500, p = 0.001), the duration of the disease (r = 0.330, p < 0.001), waist circumference (r = 0.316, p = 0.013), and disease activity (r = 0.31, p < 0.001) in the patient group. CIMT was positively correlated with age (r = 0.594, p = 0.001) and the duration of the disease (r = 0.585, p = 0.001). The use of glucocorticoids or clinical manifestations (joint involvements, genital ulcer, skin lesions, inflammatory back pain, and major organ involvement) of the patients were not found to be associated with EATT or CIMT. Conclusion. EATT and CIMT are in-creased in patients with BD and are associated with dis-ease activity. Echocardiographic measurement of EATT and CIMT is an objective, noninvasive, and available method that can evaluate the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with BD.
Importance of four-dimensional computed tomography simulation in locally advanced lung cancer radiotherapy: Impact on reducing planning target volume
Authors: Maric Slavica , Janjic Petar , Bosancic Borut , Mijailovic Milan , Lukic Snezana
Published: November 2021

Background/Aim. Four-dimensional (4D) computed tomography (CT) simulation is a useful tool for motion assessment in lung cancer radiotherapy. Conventional three-dimensional (3D) free-breathing (FB) simulation is static, with limited motion information on respiratory movements that can produce inaccuracies in the delineation process and radiotherapy planning. The aim of this study was to compare clinically significant differences between the target volumes defined on 3D CT vs. 4D CT simulation and the potential impact on the planning target volume (PTV), bearing in mind that a reduced PTV with precise coverage of the primary tumor is extremely important. In addition, quantification of movements of the primary tumor (gross tumor volume ? GTV) was performed during 4D CT simulation on three axes: Z-superoinferior (SI), X-mediolateral (ML), and Y-anteroposterior (AP). Methods. This retrospective study evaluated 20 lung cancer patients who underwent CT simulation for radical radiotherapy treatment. FB 3D CT and 4D CT simulations were acquired for each patient in accordance with our institutional protocol. A volumetric comparison of radiation volumes defined on 3D CT vs. 4D CT simulation was done on the following: GTV 3D vs. internal GTV (IGTV) 4D and PTV 3D vs. internal PTV (IPTV) 4D. The comparison of GTV movement in the FB phase GTV (GTV FB), phase 0 (GTV 0), phase 50 (GTV 50), and phase maximum intensity projection (GTV MIP) was made with GTV FB as the basic value. The evaluation was made on all three axes. Results. The comparison of volumetric values between GTV 3D vs. IGTV 4D was 63.15 cm3 vs. 85.51 cm3 (p < 0.001), respectively. IGTV 4D was significantly larger than GTV 3D (p < 0.001). The mean value of equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) for PTV 3D vs. IPTV 4D was 8.44 cm vs. 7.82 cm (p < 0.001), respectively, and the mean value volume PTV 3D vs. IPTV 4D was 352.70 cm3 vs. 272.78 cm3 (p < 0.001), respectively. PTV 3D was significantly larger than IPTV 4D (p < 0.001). A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was identified in the deviation related to the Z-axis between the upper and lower lobe. Conclusion. 4D CT simulation-based delineation can reduce PTV compared to 3D simulation-based radiation therapy; therefore, it is a prerequisite for high-quality and precise radiation therapy treatment.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. Histopathological findings of various inclusions were reported in the central nervous system of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients but not in the peripheral nerves. Case report. We present a 66-year-old man with lower limb weakness, with later development of weakness in the upper limbs and loss of sphincter control. Neurological examination showed the affection of both upper and lower motor neurons. He had paresthesia on the left side of his body and socks-distribution numbness. Histopathology of the sural nerve and genetic report showed basophilic periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive intra-axonal inclusions and heterozygous L144F mutation in the exon 5 of the SOD1 gene. Conclusion. It seems that the presence of the basophilic peripheral nerve inclusions may suggest a diagnosis of SOD1-positive ALS.

Videoessäns funktion i film- och medievetenskaplig utbildning presenteras. Därefter diskuteras det pedagogiska upplägget för kursen där videoessän ingick som examinationsmoment. En slutsats är att videoessän är en examinationsform med potential inte enbart inom film- och medievetenskapen, utan inom många humanistiska och samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen. Formatet är dock behäftat med utmaningar. Medan en del studenter omfamnade formatet och tyckte det var utvecklande att analysera och argumentera i rörlig bild, ansåg andra studenter att det var ovant att uttrycka sig på detta vis och efterlyste mer stöd till de praktiska momenten i filmproduktionen.

En la actualidad, el sistema educativo en México afronta ciertas situaciones de cambio y reestructuración que afectan el funcionamiento de todos los niveles educativos. De hecho, algunas investigaciones han identificado diferentes elementos que impiden el desarrollo normal del proceso educativo, como el desempeño del docente en clase, el interés y motivación del alumno, el ambiente donde se desenvuelve la institución, y un aspecto de gran relevancia: el papel del director en su institución. Por eso, el objetivo del estudio fue estimar la relación entre las características del director del plantel como variable de contexto y su relación con el rendimiento de los alumnos. Para ello, participaron 265 directores de instituciones de educación media superior del estado de Sonora, elegidos aleatoriamente, a quienes se les aplicó un instrumento que evaluaba elementos de sus contextos. Se realizó un análisis multivariado discriminante que permitió diferenciar a los directores de estudiantes con alto y bajo rendimiento, con una efectividad de pronóstico de 88.40?%. Las variables que más contribuyeron a las diferencias fueron juntas y cursos, infraestructura y salario y problemas. Se puede concluir que solamente las acciones que están en el radio de acción de los directores son las que efectivamente coadyuvan a la generación de estudiantes con alto rendimiento.
