Feeding difficulties in premature children: a systematic review
Authors: Piletti Plucenio Luíza , Hannah Sanini Belin Christy , Ruffoni Moreira Paula , Aguiar Sarmento Roberta , Rombaldi Bernardi Juliana
Published: March 2023

Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to discuss the feeding difficulties (FD) in premature infant (PI), the factors involved, and, when applicable, to compare these FD with full-term infants. Method: Articles were considered eligible in the databases Pubmed, Lilacs, and Scopus, published until March 2020, in Portuguese or English. Results: 11 studies were included. FD mentioned was food selectivity, food refusal, and vomiting. In studies comparing IP with full-term children, PI showed less impulse to eat, a tendency to have less food variety, less appetite, and less pleasure with food. Discussion: It is still inconclusive whether there is a pattern of FD related to prematurity and which may be associated with their involved factors in PI. Therefore, we highlighted the importance of clarifying how to promote healthy feeding, observing families that have PI, as well as the need for further studies that can better elucidate the occurrence of FD in PI.
Spatial distribution of daily and monthly precipitation in the Caribbean side of Costa Rica
Authors: Quesada Marvin E
Published: March 2023

The spatial variations of trends of relevant monthly and daily precipitation, as the probability of wet or dry conditions is taken into considerations to see the amount of precipitation per station. The research examined six rainfall stations in the Caribbean range of Costa Rica in a period between 1989 to 2019. The research uses the rain data provided for a National Meteorological Institute (IMN) and the figures were made using ArcGIS this study aims to consider the amount of precipitation, the mean daily and monthly and total rainfall and probability of wetness. It was shown how on the Caribbean side some months have an opposite answer compared to the Pacific side during the La Niña event. For instance, certain months like March, April and October present some dryness. The research reflects that in the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica the warm phase behaves in the opposite way with respect to the warm phase on the Pacific slope. Costa Rica even though is a small country (51.179km²) is far from being uniform, and the results presented in this research reveal differences in the daily and monthly rain even in the Caribbean slope and increasing impact in monthly and daily circulations over the Atlantic through the Jet streams (CLLJ).
Performance evaluation of cassava drying technologies: a case study from Uganda
Authors: Menya James , Tumutegyereize Peter , Kabenge Isa
Published: March 2023

Dried cassava chips have varied applications by end users that include breweries, confectionaries, starch and flour for food. In Uganda, over 80% of Cassava farmers dry their products by open sun drying and direct passive solar dryers. However, these two drying practices produce varying quality of dried products which may not be good all for the various end users. The quality of dried products depends on factors like cassava chip size, drying technology, temperature, air flow and relative humidity. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of cassava sun drying on a raised platform and drying in a direct passive solar dryer. The two drying technologies were assessed basing on drying rate and product quality of cassava using a randomized complete block design experiment. The measurements considered for drying rate and quality assessment were drying time, moisture content, pH, peak viscosity, starch content and microbial contamination in terms of Total plate count (TPC), Total coliforms (TC) and Yeast and moulds (YM). Results showed that samples dried on the raised platform had higher drying rates than those dried in solar dryer. Additionally, Cassava samples dried on the raised platform showed superior quality in terms of microbial contamination compared to samples dried in the solar dryer.

Published: March 2023

Forage grasses, such as oats and barley are the most common and cheap source of nutrients for ruminants in the high Andean region. Therefore, information about productivity and chemical composition of these forages are important in the high Andean region. Results indicate that forage oats cultivated at an altitude between 4200 and 4400 meters above sea level produced 30.0 t ha-1 of fresh matter (FM) or 5.0 t ha-1 of dry matter (DM) and 0.7 t ha-1 of crude protein (CP). The crude protein (CP) of oats allows covering the maintenance, pregnancy, or lactation requirements. For the case of barley, the productivity was 35.3 t ha-1 of fresh matter (FM) or 9.4 t ha-1 of dry matter (DM) and 0.8 t ha-1 of crude protein (CP) allowing a milk production of 8 kg cow-1 day-1. Regarding associations, the association of oat variety Tayko and vetch in a ratio of 75:25 performed better than other associations, resulting in a production of 58.5 t ha-1 of FM or 16.3 t ha-1 of DM and 0.76 t ha-1 of CP. The association of oat variety Mantaro 15 and vetch in a ratio of 50:50 (7.43% CP) enables milk production of 5.5 kg cow-1 day-1. Forage oats and barley are good sources of energy for ruminants due to the neutral detergent fiber concentration (46.70 and 51.76% respectively).

Published: March 2023

As per the records of World Health Organization (WHO), it is assumed that more than 60% of the global population is using the traditional medicine system in order to overcome several health related issues. Recent findings revealed that over 80% of the African population relies on medicinal plant species for their primary healthcare. Due to the unaffordability of conventional dugs, medicinal plants like sorghum stem sheath and moringa represent the key products for both urban and rural populations for their healthcare needs. These plants have found to have great therapeutic relevance for fighting major health problems. The research study investigated the proximate, vitamin C, mineral composition and organoleptic properties of sorghum stem sheath-moringa instant and infused drinks at ambient temperature. The result showed that minimal increases were observed in ash and vitamin C compositions of the enriched drinks with increased inclusion of moringa leaf extract. There was also a marginal increase in mineral contents not significantly improved in the enriched drink. The proximate compositions of the instant drinks were in the range of 0.079-0.232% (protein), 10.88-11.51% (carbohydrate), 0.005-0.008% (fat) and 0.25-0.28% (ash). The vitamin C contents of the infused drink ranged between 0.22 and 0.88 mg/100ml. Moreover, based on sensory evaluation, the sample with 15% moringa flour was most preferred in terms of all the sensory attributes evaluated by the panelists. This improved the nutritional value of the enriched drinks which can replace the laden fizzy carbonated commercial drinks in the market.

Introduction: Dengue is a mosquito–borne tropical disease which is a major health concern across the globe. The year 2016 was characterized by large dengue outbreak worldwide. In Nepal, the first dengue case was reported in 2004 whereas Nepal had experienced a major outbreak of Dengue in several districts in 2010. Since there is no specific vaccine available, awareness to prevent and control is a must. Objective: This study is aimed to assess the knowledge and preventive practices of dengue among slum dwellers of middle adulthood (40–65years) in Jhapa district of Nepal. Methodology: A descriptive cross–sectional study was conducted from March of 2018. Non–probability purposive sampling technique was applied to collect data among 109 households through face to face interview using semi–structured questionnaire for knowledge and checklist for practice assessment. Then data was analyzed in SPSS version– 20. Total knowledge and practice score were calculated and association between different variables was measured. Result: Maximum 85.3% and 14.7% of the respondent had medium and high knowledge about Dengue respectively. More than half (54%) had poor practice, 41.3% had fair and 4.6% had least (4.6%) of the respondent had good preventive practice. There was association between knowledge, age and occupation of the respondent and preventive practices. Conclusion: Majority of the respondent had medium knowledge level on Dengue while the overall preventive practices were below average. Hence, health education and awareness program can be launched to upgrade existing knowledge and its preventive practices.

Published: March 2023

Social networking sites have been frequented by internet users. Unfortunately engaging in social media has been associated with delinquent behaviors such as cyber crime, security threat, and poor academic performance. Online database literature has revealed an increased prevalence of health hazards including musculoskeletal, visual, auditory, and psychological disorders along with social and familial disharmony among regular users of social media in comparison to their non-regular user counterparts. Data have revealed an increased presence of low self-esteem and poor wellbeing among regular users of social media. This review has focused on the posture, duration of engagement, physical and behavioral health hazards of regular users of social networking sites. A comprehensive rehabilitation curriculum (postural training, health education, and awareness program) was an effective strategy for prevention and minimization of health hazards of regular social media users.

Authors: IK Ajadi , NB Abdullahi , Q Musa , Y Hassan , T Oyegoke
Published: March 2023

The challenges of emission of greenhouse gases (GhG) have triggered researchers all over the world to come up with alternative fuel sources that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One of such alternatives is Biodiesel production from Neem and Jatropha seed oils. However, the presence of Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in the oil obtained from these seeds reduces the yield of produced biodiesel. Two common methods proposed in previous literature to reduce the free fatty acids value are the Esterification and Neutralization methods. This study focused on comparing the esterification and neutralization method as a preliminary stage of biodiesel production from Neem seed and Jatropha seed oils, in an effort to advance biodiesel production in terms of yield from its process. The Neem and Jatropha seed oils were esterified with concentrated sulphuric acid and were tested for free fatty acids. Both seed oils were then refined via the degumming process, after which they were neutralized with sodium hydroxide. The study shows the neutralization method with a yield of 96% and 94% for Neem seed oil and Jatropha seed oil respectively to be more efficient than the Esterification method which produced a yield of 93.2% for Neem seed oil and 91.4% for Jatropha seed oil.

Published: March 2023

The creative performance, as well as other exclusively human capabilities will be the qualities that the future workers must have, due to what has been called the fourth industrial revolution. Therefore, teachers have the obligation to investigate and innovate on new techniques and implement methodologies that promote these skills. The Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology has shown great benefits in this regard, and there are innovative fields, such as lucid dreams, which could be a new tool for enhancing creative performance. Therefore, the aims of this work were to review the related literature to verify that an intervention using the PBL methodology could be combined with research in lucid dreams in an applicable, relevant, well-founded, coherent, and original way. The second aim was to develop an ABP proposal with these elements to enhance the critical skills that students will need in the future, with special emphasis on creativity. We conclude that this proposal meets the revised characteristics, and we include the design of the proposal, gathering these elements. As a continuation of this work, we intend to carry out an investigation analyzing the data that may be offered by different classrooms that apply the program.
The social media: the fortunate unfortunate village square for hate propaganda
Authors: Uzomah Maduawuchi Michael
Published: March 2023

This treatise is a qualitative research in philosophy and literary studies and it considers fake news (misinformation and disinformation) from the perspective of hate speech. It focuses on the social media as the contemporary day smart village square for all sorts of hate mongering. This is one of the ill-starred pitfalls of the bandwagon called “globalization”. The buzz word ‘globalization’ is a catchword that points to the prevailing moment in human history of civilization and development-the age of digital-micro-lization of the world space. The fulcrum of globalization is communicative technologies. The presence of advanced communicative technologies or facilities like the internet, satellite, android phones and other related smart gargets has made global communication now easy and swift; since these facilities have the capability to move information from one part of the globe to the other (within a slit-second). It is in this sense that the world is now called a global village. However, the paradox of this village square enabled by the social media networking is that it is relishing and at the same time palpably fraught. Positively, social media is accessible, interactive, immediate and relevant; negatively, one among the numerous causes for alarm is the rising misappropriation of social networking sites for hate speech. Employing analytic and hermeneutical methods, the philosophico-literary discourse critically interrogates the misappropriation of this artificial and synthetic neighborhood for the proliferation of all sorts of inciting, poisonous, destructive, divisive, manipulative and inflammable speeches. This study reveals that two fundamental factors are responsible for the thriving of hate speech in this techno-neighborhood, i. humans nowadays are gullible to the point of naïvely believing any information from the social media as true and correct; ii. lack of censorship and quality control of most social media. Consequently, the ultimate goal of the chapter is to seek for philosophically pragmatic remedy to this malady in order to advance the frontiers of this creative and emerging technology. Therefore, the researchers present a number of philosophico-literary theoretical frameworks and modalities to stern the tide of hate speech explosion in the social media.

Published: March 2023

Hepatitis A is a common viral infection worldwide that is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Since the introduction of an efficient vaccine, the incidence of infection has decreased but the number of cases has risen due to widespread community outbreaks among unimmunized individuals. Classic symptoms include fever, malaise, dark urine, and jaundice, and are more common in older children and adults. People are often most infectious 14 days prior to and 7 days following the onset of jaundice. We will discuss the case of a young male patient, diagnosed with acute hepatitis A, leading to fulminant hepatitis refractory to conventional therapy and the development of subsequent kidney injury. The medical treatment through the course of hospitalization was challenging and included the use of L-ornithine-L-aspartate and prolonged intermittent hemodialysis, leading to a remarkable outcome. Hepatitis A is usually self-limited and vaccine-preventable; supportive care is often sufficient for treatment, and chronic infection or chronic liver disease rarely develops. However, fulminant hepatitis, although rare, can be very challenging to manage as in the case of our patient.

Published: March 2023

The present study adds to the growing body of knowledge on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic by examining the experiences of Canadian child maltreatment investigators. Three focus groups were conducted with child maltreatment investigators (n = 16) from across Canada to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on child maltreatment investigators and the children and families they work with. Findings from this qualitative study relate to the personal and professional impact of COVID-19 on child maltreatment investigators and the impact of COVID-19 on investigators’ work practices. Subthemes relating to the impact of COVID-19 on child maltreatment investigators include fatigue, stress, and burnout; self-care and isolation; working from home with increasing workloads; child maltreatment investigators as essential workers; and workplace support. Participants’ work practices were impacted by rates of reporting throughout the pandemic, reduced in-person contact with clients, remote services and communication, and COVID-related safety protocols and challenges. Recommendations stemming from these focus groups include the recognition of child maltreatment investigators as essential workers, access to adequate counseling services for child maltreatment investigators, workplace flexibility for child maltreatment investigators, and ensuring that child protection agencies are adequately resourced to maintain manageable workloads.
Notes on Stickiness and Architecture
Authors: Parreno Christian
Published: March 2023

This essay relates stickiness to architecture. It imagines an alternative to the distinct boundaries associated with modernism, conceiving the built environment as a fluid agent, with forms derived from apocryphal arrangements, imbued in sentiments and connected through an ecology of totality. To unravel, speculatively, this possibility, the elaborations on sliminess by Jean Paul Sartre, fluidity by Luce Irigaray, emotionality by Sara Ahmed and interrelatedness by Timothy Morton are juxtaposed and construed in architectural terms. These qualities of stickiness posit architecture as an existential and feminist project, in continual mutation, opposed to pure rationalism and strict functionalism.

Published: March 2023

The meat and meat product industry has evolved according to the needs of the market. Consumers are increasingly seeking quality in food. Thus, the concern regarding the excessive use of additives such as preservatives and antioxidants has driven research towards natural, healthy and safe substitutes. Essential oils and plant extracts have been shown to be a good option for resolving this problem. They are completely natural with biological activity, which mainly includes prevention of oxidation and the proliferation of microorganisms, thus arousing the interest of the industry and consumers. This review will present studies published in the last five years regarding the potential of essential oils and plant extracts to act as preservatives and antioxidants in meat and meat products. The forms of application, innovations in the area, alternatives to the incorporation of essential oils and extracts in meat products, effects caused in food, and limitations of applications will be detailed and discussed.
The Occurrence of Folate Biosynthesis Genes in Lactic Acid Bacteria from Different Sources
Authors: Mahara Fenny Amilia , Nuraida Lilis , Lioe Hanifah Nuryani , Nurjanah Siti
Published: March 2023

Research background. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known to produce folate. However, this ability is highly strain-dependent. Folate synthesis in specific LAB strains is affected by the availability of folate, which can be consumed by other LAB under certain conditions. Moreover, differences in folate synthesis capabilities are related to the presence of folate biosynthesis-related genes and regulation of this pathway.
Experimental approach. As basic information to better understand the regulation of folate biosynthesis among different LAB species and strains, folate biosynthetic genes were screened and identified in folate-producing and non-folate-producing LAB isolated from various local food sources in Indonesia. The extracellular folate productivity amounts of the isolates were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD).
Results and conclusions. Eleven of the thirteen tested LAB isolates had all of the eight genes involved in folate biosynthesis (folE, folQ, folB, folK, folP, folC1, folA and folC2). Furthermore, these isolates produced extracellular folate ranging from 10.37 to 31.10 μg/mL. In contrast, two non-folate-producing isolates lacked several folate biosynthetic genes, such as folQ, folP and folA, which is possibly the reason for their inability to synthesize folate de novo. Phylogenetic tree construction revealed that the folate biosynthetic genes (excluding folK and folP) from six distinct species of folate-producing LAB isolates were monophyletic with homologous genes from other LAB species in the database.
Novelty and scientific contribution. In this study, the distribution of folate biosynthetic genes in various LAB species was determined. The findings from this research support the use of folate biosynthesis marker genes in the genotypic screening for folate-producing LAB.
La complexité : quelques aspects prévisibles et imprévisibles

Published: March 2023

Le présent article se veut une approche poétique des termes techniques dans le registre littéraire, ceux-ci étant porteurs de sens dénotatifs, purement objectifs. Toutefois, en fonction de situations dramaturgiques, les dénotés s’imprègnent de différents degrés de connotation. De plus, enrichis de colorations connotatives grâce à une variété de figures de style, les termes techniques poétisés sont suceptibles de faire surgir les différences entre l’objet technique zolien et mirbellien.
Les études arabes entre approche scientifique et attentes religieuses, ou comment distinguer ce qui est prévisible de ce qui l’est moins
Authors: VALTER Stéphane
Published: March 2023

À partir d’observations de terrain (sans objet précis) menées pendant plusieurs années de pratique pédagogique, cette réflexion essaie de montrer que la pensée critique de beaucoup d’étudiants d’origine arabe et / ou musulmane, à l’Université, est souvent entravée, consciemment ou non, par des présupposés de nature religieuse lorsque des questions en rapport avec le sacré en islam sont abordées. En ce sens, alors que la pensée analytique ne doit être guidée que par la rigueur, les conclusions des acteurs suivent trop souvent une prévisibilité un peu désolante pour celui qui ne valorise que l’esprit critique.
Séquences et bifurcations

Published: March 2023

Une approche syntagmatique des productions langagières effectives, normales ou pathologiques, met en évidence une alternance de séquences stables, au déroulement prévisible car elles sont proches d’une phraséologie, et de zones de bifurcation, caractérisées par une baisse brutale de la prévisibilité. On propose ici une interprétation de ce phénomène, en l’articulant sur l’histoire des modèles syntaxiques contemporains.
La complémentarité du prévisible et de l’imprévisible dans l’œuvre d’Anne Hébert
Authors: DRENGUBIAK Ján
Published: March 2023

Les œuvres d’Anne Hébert sont connues pour leurs ambiguïtés et leur imprévisibilité. Or, il existe des moyens par lesquels le lecteur peut rendre les textes prévisibles, à savoir les désambiguïser. À part la fin des romans connue dès le début, le plus important des moyens permettant la désambiguïsation est la cohérence du tissu thématique des textes. Dans le roman Est-ce que je te dérange ? (1998), c’est surtout le thème de vampire dont les articulations contrastent avec l’imprévisibilité du personnage principal.
Narrativité et imprévisibilité
Authors: BENE Adrián
Published: March 2023

La nouvelle conception de la narrativité au sein de la littérature postmoderne, particulièrement dans le domaine de la science-fiction, fera l’objet de notre réflexion. La caractéristique principale de la littérature postmoderne, dès le Nouveau Roman, est très certainement l’indécidabilité. En tant qu’éléments structurants, l’ambiguïté, la déstabilisation du Sujet et de l’identité, le perspectivisme, le narrateur non fiable, les lieux indéterminés comportent tous une part échappant aux possibilités de prévision. Cette part d’imprévisible implique, chez le lecteur, une lecture active des œuvres ouvertes, réserves inépuisables de significations. C’est dans ce contexte que nous analyserons ces caractéristiques narratives dans Le Voleur quantique, univers fictionnel créé par Hannu Rajaniemi.

¿Cómo cautiva a la juventud el neoconservadurismo? Rebeldía, formación e influencers de extrema derecha en Latinoamérica
Authors: Morán Faúndes José Manuel
Published: March 2023

Latinoamérica atraviesa una tercera oleada neoconservadora, caracterizada, entre otros aspectos, por una renovada ofensiva de extrema derecha contra los derechos sexuales y reproductivos. Uno de los sectores a los que este neoconservadurismo de extrema derecha busca interpelar con especial fuerza son las juventudes. El presente trabajo explora algunas acciones específicas que el movimiento neoconservador latinoamericano está desarrollando con especial foco en la juventud. Específicamente, se analizan tres estrategias: la creación de renovados imaginarios de épica y rebeldía que buscan interpelar a jóvenes y, especialmente, a mujeres jóvenes (disputando así al sujeto político de los feminismos); la formación política de jóvenes dirigentes para ocupar espacios políticos y constituir nuevos liderazgos neoconservadores; y la emergencia de influencers neoconservadores/as. Mediante una metodología cualitativa, se identificaron y exploraron las acciones de 74 actores neoconservadores de ocho países latinoamericanos: Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, México y Perú.

Giberellik asit (GA3) tüm bitkilerde olduğu gibi asmalarda da endojen olarak sentezlenen, fizyolojik ve biyokimyasal birçok olayı etkileyen hayati bir hormon olmakla birlikte, bağcılıkta büyüme ve gelişmenin düzenlenmesi amacıyla eksojen olarak da yaygın kullanılan bir bitki gelişim düzenleyicisidir. Islah çalışmalarında başlangıç materyali olarak kullanılan tohumun çimlenmesi ve fide haline dönüştürülmesi ıslah başarısının en önemli kriterleri arasında yer almakta olup, bu aşamada çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı kayıplar yaşanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada farklı konsantrasyonlardaki GA3 uygulamalarının melezleme ıslahı sonucunda elde edilen Amerikan kökenli iki farklı asma kombinasyonuna ait tohumların çimlenme özellikleri üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Türler arası melezlemelerin gerçekleştirilebilmesi amacıyla, ebeveyn olarak üç farklı asma türü (“Ramsey”, “5 BB” ve “Rupestris du Lot”) kullanılmış ve farklı konsantrasyonlardaki GA3 uygulamaları iki farklı melez asma popülasyonu (“Ramsey × Rupestris du Lot” ve “5 BB × Rupestris du Lot”) üzerinde test edilerek, tohum çimlenmesi bakımından en etkili GA3 konsantrasyonunun belirlenmesine yönelik incelemeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Her iki melez asma popülasyonu birlikte değerlendirildiğinde en yüksek ortalamaların %59,63 ile 1000 ppm konsantrasyonundan alındığı ve bu değerin 500 ppm (%56,34) ve 2000 ppm (%56,91) GA3 uygulamaları ile aynı istatistiksel grupta yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçların, melez asma tohumlarında çimlenme düzeyinin artırılması amacıyla yürütülecek diğer araştırmaları kolaylaştıracağı düşünülmektedir. Aynı zamanda bu çalışma, asma germplasm kaynaklarının daha etkin şekilde kullanılması ve genetik çeşitlilik kaybının önlenmesi bakımından da araştırmacılara önemli bir referans sağlayacaktır.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of subsidies on dairy farm profits in Türkiye. To satisfy this objective, the Treatment Effect and Switching Regression models were used. The assessment may conclude that revenue will grow, decline, or remain unchanged. The sample size was determined as 662 by using the number of dairy cattle in the enterprises in 12 provinces and the stratified sampling method. In this study, the status of dairy cattle farms benefiting from subsidies, the socioeconomic factors affecting this level, and the effects of subsidies on the profit of the farms were analyzed. According to the results, 70.1% of dairy farms benefited from livestock subsidies. Moreover, farm size, cultivated area, forage area, lactation period, milk productivity, gross profit, and net profit have positive and statistically significant effects on livestock subsidies. According to the results of the treatment effect model, benefitting from farmers’ support will increase farmers’ revenue and profit. The benefits from livestock subsidies of farmers will increase the gross production value by approximately $8636.4. This is important for the sustainability of agricultural activity. The research findings will provide valuable information for the Ministry of Agriculture, and policymakers.

Kuşkonmaz (Asparagus officinalis L.) bitkisi, Asparagaceae familyasına giren ve içerisinde yaklaşık 300 tür barındıran Asparagus cinsine ait bir tür olup, kültürü yapılan ve ekonomik değeri yüksek olan bir sebzedir. Kuşkonmaz bitkisinin hayvan yemi olarak kullanımı ile ilgili çalışmalar oldukça kısıtlıdır. Kuşkonmaz bitkisi ilkbaharda taze sebze olarak hasadı yapıldıktan sonra gelişmeye bırakılır ve bitkilerin kış dinlenmesine girmesinden önce gelişen vejetatif aksamı hasat edilir. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu vejetatif aksamın silaj yapımı olanakları araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, kuşkonmaz bitkisinin gelişme dönemi sonunda biçilen sürgünleri kullanılıp, bu sürgünler teorik olarak 2-3 cm ebadında parçalanmış daha önceden bir TUBİTAK projesi sonucu elde edilen 5 adet laktik asit bakterisi (LAB) ile aşılanarak silolanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre; 879.92 kg da-1 yeşil ot verimi ve 324.60 kg da-1 kuru ot verimi ile alternatif bir kaba yem kaynağı olabileceği, potansiyel beslenme değerinin ruminant hayvanlar için uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Diğer yandan, LAB katkısı kontrol grubuna göre silajların pH, asetik asit, propiyonik asit içeriklerini ve kuru madde kaybını düşürürken, laktik asit içeriklerini ise önemli düzeyde arttırmıştır. Özellikle silaj kalitesini iyileştirmede, LS-65-2-1 kod numaralı L. bifermentas izolatının ön plana çıktığı belirlenmiştir

Considering the rapid developments in nanotechnology, scientific research in the field of nanotoxicology is required in order to prevent the dangers of nanotechnology on human health. For this purpose, we tested the cytotoxic effect of ZnO nanoparticle (NP), which is included in many cosmetic products, on human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT). In addition, we evaluated to potentially inhibit this cytotoxic effect with an aquatic plant, Alternanthera reineckii Briq. produced by tissue culture method. The nodal explants of A. reineckii were cultured in Murashige & Skoog basal medium (MS) including the combinations of 0.25-1.25 mg/L Thidiazuron (TDZ) and 0.25 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Maximum number of shoots per explant (22.50 shoots/explant) was obtained in the culture medium with 0.75 mg/L TDZ+0.25 mg/L IBA. The highest shoot length (1.77 cm) was determined in MS medium with 0.25 mg/L TDZ+0.25 mg/L IBA. Acetone and water extracts were obtained from A. reineckii through Soxhlet extraction. The cytotoxic effect of ZnO alone on HaCaT was inhibited by acetone and water extracts. The cell viability, which decreased to 26.04% with the effect of ZnO, increased up to 67.83% with the application of acetone extract. Overall, our results revealed the protective potential of this plant against nanotoxicity induced by ZnO and shed light on future studies

Excessive consumption of cow milk and menorrhagia are the two most common causes of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in children. However, there have been reported cases of parasitic infestation causing IDA. Pediculus humanus survives on human blood, and prolonged blood loss causes anaemic symptoms. In the current case report, a 10-year-old girl complained of pallor and dizziness. During her physical examination, a head lice infestation was discovered. The patient had no history of chronic illness and used to eat a normal diet that was high in iron. Her haemoglobin level was measured to be 4 g/dl. Doctors determined that the severe iron deficiency was caused due to the head lice infestation. To reach the required haemoglobin level, she was admitted to the hospital and given a blood transfusion. Her head was washed with permethrin 1% shampoo, which removed over 60% of the lice in a single wash. She was instructed to wash her hair with the shampoo again after seven days.
