Gobernar según los “criterios de la ciencia”: imaginarios de la ciencia frente a la COVID-19 en el Principado de Asturias
Authors: Hevia Martínez Germán
Published: October 2022

El recurso a lo que dice la “Ciencia” ha sido una constante en el discurso político durante la pandemia de la COVID-19, tanto a la hora de justificar las medidas por parte de los Gobiernos como de criticarlas desde la oposición. Pero ¿qué significa gobernar según lo que dice la Ciencia? En este artículo se explorará la imagen de la ciencia que opera tras estas expresiones. En primer lugar, se abordarán las investigaciones realizadas sobre la imagen de la ciencia, señalando la importancia de esta a la hora de comprender la acción de los individuos en relación con el conocimiento científico. Esto incluye la discusión sobre la imagen heredada de la ciencia, que parece postularse como el imaginario más extendido en la sociedad sobre lo que es la ciencia. En segundo lugar, se mostrará la metodología cualitativa seguida a la hora de analizar la prevalencia de esta imagen en el discurso político. Por último, se mostrará hasta qué punto esta imagen de lo que es la ciencia ha estado presente en las intervenciones de las autoridades y los posibles efectos limitadores que esta ha tenido.
Ciencia y política del coronavirus
Authors: López Cerezo José Antonio
Published: October 2022

Based on demographic data regarding the relevance of political ideology in reluctance against COVID vaccination, this contribution analyzes the phenomenon of political instrumentalization of scientific information in the fight against the pandemic. In the first place, a negative causal influence is defended, on the vaccination campaign, by the use of the lack of scientific consensus as a political weapon. Second, the scope and nature of “coronavirus science” as a regulatory science is examined, distinguishing different types of external values with different degrees of justification in the closure of interpretive flexibility. It is then concluded, in the third place, the lack of foundation for a discretionary political use of the scientific information generated by the science of the coronavirus. Subsequently, fourthly, the philosophical presuppositions of the effective political use made of scientific information are identified, namely, the erroneous presupposition of an academic science that speaks with one voice. On this basis, it is finally argued in favor of the explicit recognition of the regulatory nature of the science of the coronavirus, with its strengths and limitations, as a basis for a more responsible political use of scientific information and the opening of its evaluative aspects to public debate and moral deliberation.
¿Racismo en la vacunación contra la COVID-19? La reticiencia a vacunarse en la población negra de Estados Unidos
Authors: Martínez González Celia Martínez
Published: October 2022

La vacuna contra la COVID-19 ha sido objeto de una manifiesta desconfianza ligada al proceso de desarrollo de la propia vacuna, así como a la incertidumbre generada por el virus y la enfermedad. A pesar de existir numerosos factores que influyen en la reticencia a vacunarse, resulta de interés explorar la influencia de la raza en las actitudes de desconfianza y rechazo hacia la vacuna. En este artículo, se toma como caso de estudio la población negra en Estados Unidos por la preponderancia de la raza en ese país. Tras reconocer e identificar una serie de causas generales ligadas a la desconfianza en la vacuna contra la COVID-19, se profundiza en las causas específicas que aquejan a la población negra, la cual presentaba una mayor reticencia a vacunarse y se mantuvo como sector demográfico en los niveles más bajos en lo referente a las tasas de vacunación durante los primeros pasos de la campaña.

Published: October 2022

Background and Aim: Many studies have reported on the phenomenon of co-infections involving two or more pathogens (bacteria or viruses) over the past few years. However, very few studies on this issue were conducted in Vietnam. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the circulation of single and multiple porcine parvovirus (PPV) (e.g., PPV1, PPV2, PPV3, and PPV4), porcine bocavirus (PBoV), and torque teno virus (TTV) (TTV1 and TTV2) infections in Vietnamese pigs.

Materials and Methods: A total of 174 porcine circovirus 2-positive samples from pigs (n = 86 for 2017 and n = 88 for 2021), including from the sera and internal organs, across 11 provinces were examined by polymerase chain reaction.

Results: This study demonstrated the wide distribution of DNA viruses among pig farms in Vietnam in 2021, with the detection rate for PPV ranging from 3.4% to 27.3% among PPV1-PPV4. Moreover, the detection rates of TTV genotypes were confirmed to be 14.8% (TTV1) and 63.6% (TTV2), respectively, and the positive rate of PBoV was 65.9%. The most frequent combinations were double and triple infections. Double infection was found in 16/86 (18.6%) in 2017 and 26/88 (29.5%) in 2021, while triple infection was found at 19/86 (22.1%) in 2017 and 26/88 (29.5%) in 2021. The incidence of simultaneous detection of more than three viruses was low.

Conclusion: These results provide at least partial information about the occurrence of three viruses, including PPV (including PPV1 to 4), PBoV, and TTV (TTV1 and TTV2), in pigs. Determination of particular viruses in pigs will help to prevent the porcine respiratory disease complex caused by DNA viruses in Vietnamese pigs in the future.
Foreground-Aware Refinement Network for Building Extraction from Remote Sensing Images
Authors: Yan Zhang , Xiangyu Wang , Zhongwei Zhang , Yemei Sun , Shudong Liu
Published: October 2022

To extract buildings accurately, we propose a foreground-aware refinement network for building extraction. In particular, in order to reduce the false positive of buildings, we design the foreground-aware module using the attention gate block, which effectively suppresses the features
of nonbuilding and enhances the sensitivity of the model to buildings. In addition, we introduce the reverse attention mechanism in the detail refinement module. Specifically, this module guides the network to learn to supplement the missing details of the buildings by erasing the currently
predicted regions of buildings and achieves more accurate and complete building extraction. To further optimize the network, we design hybrid loss, which combines BCE loss and SSIM loss, to supervise network learning from both pixel and structure layers. Experimental results demonstrate the
superiority of our network over state-of-the-art methods in terms of both quantitative metrics and visual quality.
The Use of Indices and Modified U-Net Network in Improving the Classification of Planting Structures
Authors: Li Weidong , Meng Fanqian , Bai Linyan , Yu Yongbo , Ullah Inam , Duan Jinlong , Zhang Xuehai
Published: October 2022

It was difficult to accurately obtain crop planting structure by using the spectral information of high spatial resolution and low spatial resolution multispectral images of panchromatic images at the same time. In this paper, we propose a method of planting structure extraction based
on indices and an improved U-Net semantic segmentation network. Based on the original band of Landsat-8, we used an image fusion algorithm to highlight the characteristics of vegetation, water, and soil respectively by three indices added, and the improved U-Net network was used to classify
the type of planting structure. The results showed that the overall accuracy of classification was more than 91.6%, and the accuracy of crops was up to 93.8%. Automated water extraction index in image fusion effectively improved the classification accuracy. This method could extract a variety
of information about planting structures automatically and accurately. It provided theoretical support for adjusting and optimizing regional planting structures.

Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy The ‘Silesian Piasts’ Memorial Wroclaw Medical University, Małolepsza-Jarmołowska Katarzyna
Published: October 2022

The incidence of reflux disease increases with age, regardless of gender. This disease is diagnosed more often in highly developed countries. In addition to acidic reflux, the discharge of alkaline intestinal contents into the oesophagus is a major problem. This study was undertaken to examine whether hydrogels prevent irritation of the oesophageal mucosa. The aim was to investigate the influence of chitosan and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose on the properties of chitosan-containing gels. Preparations containing 4.0% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose showed the lowest pH. These gels could be used to treat advanced alkaline reflux. The addition of chitosan to all tested gels increased their pH and dynamic viscosity. The texture tests showed the effect of the hydroxypropylmethylcellulose concentration on the adhesion work of the tested gels.

Chitosan could be an alternative to synthetic plant protection chemicals commonly used in strawberry cultivation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chitosan with different molecular weights on the yield, health, and quality of Korona cultivar strawberries. The largest number of strawberries was harvested from plants sprayed with chitosan with a molecular weight of 50k kDa (611 g/plant). On the other hand, the largest (1017 g/100 fruit) and the firmest (225 G mm) strawberries were harvested from plants sprayed with chitosan125k kDa. Compared with the control, chitosan with a molecular weight >50 kDa also increased the contents of l-ascorbic acid and polyphenols and the antioxidant activity and improved fruit colour compared with the control. The plants were also more resistant to grey mould infestation. The experiment has shown that how chitosan interacts with fruit depends on its molecular weight, and chitosan with a higher molecular weight has a better effect on most traits determining fruit quality.
Consideraciones en torno a un nuevo cosmopolitismo ambiental en el mundo post pandemia
Authors: Barboza Arias Luis Miguel
Published: October 2022

El objetivo del artículo es encaminar una reflexión crítica y decolonial sobre los desafíos y las alternativas de la gobernanza del riesgo en el contexto de la pandemia por el virus SARS-CoV-2. El documento inicia con una invitación a pensar la actual crisis del multilateralismo como primer paso para problematizar el surgimiento del Covid-19 y sus efectos en los marcos institucionales de la política global. Para entender las implicaciones de la pandemia en la configuración de los esquemas de gobernanza actuales, se hace referencia a un conjunto de literatura sobre riesgo e incertidumbre en períodos caracterizados por la emergencia de las transiciones sostenibles. Se profundiza en la idea de geografía de conocimiento, colocada por la ecología política, para exponer las imbricaciones profundas entre la colonialidad del saber y la construcción de conocimiento sobre gobernanza del riesgo. Desde el punto de vista de su abordaje teórico-metodológico, entendemos esta reflexión como “siendo parte” de un ejercicio de imaginación sociológica que busca contribuir a la construcción de futuros posibles, en los que se disponga de espacios seguros para la reproducción de la vida y la biodiversidad. De lo que se trata es de promover relaciones distintas entre ciencias, conocimientos y saberes, con el objetivo de garantizar el ejercicio de prácticas ciudadanas y subjetividades diversas, en un contexto pluralista y de pleno reconocimiento de derechos. Como parte de las consideraciones finales se argumenta que el Covid-19 representa una oportunidad importante para pensar en un nuevo cosmopolitismo ambiental, en capacidad de conducir estas ideas al terreno político por medio de los movimientos sociales que podrían estar tomando forma en la atención local de la emergencia.

Authors: Ulloa César , Romero Flores Miguel , Calixto Toapanta Juan
Published: October 2022

Las repercusiones de la COVID-19 son diferentes en el mundo, debido a un conjunto de dimensiones que distinguen a unos países de otros acerca de la estructura y respuesta de los sistemas sanitarios, las condiciones socioeconómicas de la población, la activación de comités de emergencia y planes de contingencia, la coordinación entre los gobiernos centrales y seccionales. Incluso, entre las ciudades, regiones y estados de un mismo país, la pandemia presenta un rostro diferente. En Ecuador, los efectos que se produjeron en la ciudad de Guayaquil contribuyeron a que la cataloguen como la Wuhan de Latinoamérica. En este artículo se dilucidan los determinantes sociales que explican las consecuencias en esta ciudad, en contraste con lo sucedido en la capital, Quito.
Relevancia del capital social frente al desempleo en universitarios generado por la pandemia por Covid-19
Authors: Cabrera Jimenez Manuel Fernando
Published: October 2022

Partiendo de reconocer que la capacidad en Colombia de uso y generación de capital social es bastante deficiente a nivel nacional según mediciones oficiales realizadas en el país, el tema central de este artículo, gira en virtud de analizar si el capital social tiene relevancia frente al fenómeno de desempleo en los universitarios de ingresos medios y bajos generado por las afectaciones de la pandemia por Covid-19. El estudio aborda una muestra de 392 estudiantes adscritos a la Universidad ECCI en la ciudad de Bogotá, principalmente de ingresos medios y bajos, quienes a partir del diligenciamiento de una encuesta semiestructurada diseñada con cuatro dimensiones a nivel social, emocional, económico y de asociatividad evidencian que el uso de redes fórmales e informales en los jóvenes, si tiene algún nivel de incidencia en la ubicación laboral de forma discreta, debido a la baja capacidad de reconocimiento de vinculación puente, así como la complejidad de acceso a redes  que potencialicen la solidaridad y apoyo en momentos de coyuntura como el que se está viviendo, desconociendo el potencial del impacto del capital social en el desarrollo.

Published: October 2022

El tránsito hacia un nuevo paradigma de desarrollo no puede limitarse a la búsqueda de tecnologías de producción menos contaminantes, sino a la construcción integral de un nuevo patrón de consumo y producción sustentable que involucre todos los sectores. La implementación de un Sistema de Gestión Integral (SGI) es considerada una decisión estratégicaque contribuye en la mejora de la competitividad y la sustentabilidad en las empresas y repercute en los cuatro pilares de la sustentabilidad: ambiental, económico, social e institucional. Para comprender la relación existente entre los SGI y desarrollo sustentable, se realizó un análisisdescriptivo de 128 documentos de revistas indexadas utilizando la técnica bibliométrica, durante un periodo seleccionado de 23 años. Los resultadosobtenidos demuestran que 43 países han contribuido con publicaciones sobre el tema central, de los cuales Brasil, China y Portugal son considerados líderes. A través de este análisis se logró identificar que Jørgensen, Siva y Fresner, son considerados los autores más relevantes de hoy en día. Por lo anterior, un SGI no puede conformarse sin su parte ambiental, y por ende hay una necesidad cada vez mayor por resolver esta cuestión bajo estándares y metodologías basadas en estudios académicos y científicos

This study focuses on André Malraux and Romain Gary’s Italian reception from their first introduction in Italy until today. One of the goals of the analysis is to synthesize all the publications devoted to them and to make the results of the identified work available to the readers. The other goal is to measure the interest shown in these two writers (whose existential choice presents many convergences) which has changed during the years because of the different historical contexts in which their writings have been read.
From Clappique to Sganarelle: Fluttering with Malraux and Gary
Authors: Roumette Julien
Published: October 2022

Romain Gary is not close to André Malraux only by his political and war time commitments. They also share a form of creative fantasy that shakes up literary genres, embodied by the character of Clappique, in La Condition Humaine. He serves as a model for the recurring figure of the Baron in Romain Gary’s novels, through different incarnations from Le Grand Vestaire to Les Couleurs du jour and Clair de femme. Fanciful and comical portraits, these caricatural characters appear as a buffoonish recourse in the face of history. Gary will push this salutary counterpoint very far, gradually releasing the comic force of his fantasy, while Malraux will not resist giving this endearing double a last lap in his Antimémoires. Seeing the writer as Clappique makes it possible to show the fruitfulness and the constancy of this “wacky” (« farfelue ») dimension, which is part of the companionship between the two writers.
The Metamorphosis of Places in André Malraux’s Les Noyers de l’Altenburgand Romain Gary’s Education européenne
Authors: Tame Peter
Published: October 2022

This article examines the importance of imaginary spaces and places (literary isotopias) in André Malraux’s Les Noyers de l’Altenburg (1943) and Romain Gary’s Education européenne (1945). It analyses the metamorphoses of space and place, together with the relationships between those spaces and the novels’ characters, in order to identify commonality as well as differences between the approaches of the two authors. The roles of nature, art and myth in the two novels are also considered, particularly in the context of war. Moreover, the article takes into account the humanism of both authors against the background of wartime. André Malraux’s crucial concept of metamorphosis finds significant echoes in Romain Gary’s novel Education européenne, particularly in the aspiration to transform the world, change mentalities and remake communities both in the national and international contexts. For both writers, the metaphysical struggle against death is often portrayed as being more important than the military conflict with the enemy. Moreover, the novels of both writers have undergone a number of literary metamorphoses in terms of textual genesis and generation. Although Romain Gary’s work is probably less well known today than that of André Malraux, we may find, in conclusion, that the former’s approach, style and content of thought are actually just as “modern” and appealing to readers nowadays.
The Imaginary Museum : From Malraux to Gary
Authors: Grimalt Esther
Published: October 2022

The concept of an imaginary museum developed by André Malraux in the eponymous book was taken up by Gary, notably in his novel La Danse de Genghis Cohn. This reappropriation of the concept allows to reborn it in a more subversive form and to pose the question of the aestheticization of suffering through art. In doing so, Gary, while paying tribute to the writer and intellectual who was one of the first to believe in him, allows himself to extend his reflection on the concept of imaginary museum, thus linking their two thoughts that seem to respond to each other like mirrors placed face to face in his work.

Published: October 2022

RESUMO
 

A representação feminina na tecnologia nuclear ainda é uma questão global em termos de igualdade de gênero e ainda há um baixo número de mulheres nessa área. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a participação feminina em um instituto de pesquisa nuclear (instituição vinculada ao estado de São Paulo e ao governo federal brasileiro), verificar como estão distribuídas as mulheres que trabalham nessa unidade, qual a sua área de atuação e posição nos níveis de carreira. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um formulário online, respondido voluntariamente, que continha perguntas para traçar o perfil dessas mulheres, bem como para entender como se mostrava a presença feminina no ambiente de trabalho. Os resultados mostraram que o perfil majoritário é de mulheres brancas, pós-graduandos com até 41 anos, naturais da região Sudeste, predominantemente paulistas, que são/foram orientadas por homens, que não conhecem a associação Women in Nuclear e um percentual considerável desconhece a pesquisadora pioneira em sua área de atuação, evidenciando a falta de informação sobre a representação feminina neste campo. Percebe-se que no Brasil, a construção de uma representação igualitária na área nuclear está em andamento e ainda tem um longo caminho a percorrer, mostrando que pesquisas como o presente levantamento e divulgação de eventos sobre mulheres é algo que precisa ser feito com mais frequência para enfatizar a importância da presença feminina nas ciências.

Authors: Hemdan Eissa El-Sayed , Yassien Mohamed Hamed , Sakr Salah El-Sayed
Published: October 2022

Post larvae of Kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus (PL25) were stocked at 10shrimp/m2 (MC) in nine concrete ponds (4.0mx6.0mx1.25m, total area 24.0m2) filled up with seawater at a salinity of 38ppt. Kuruma shrimp were stocked with Red tilapia Oreochromis spp fingerlings (4.0g±0.5) collected from the marine hatchery of MRC. Red tilapia were stocked at 0.25g (PC1) and 0.5g (PC2) fingerlings/m2 in the polyculture treatment ponds with shrimp larvae. Results showed significantly differences (P<0.5) in body weight of M.japonicus cultured in MC system in comparison with PC1 and PC2 systems. The best food conversion ratio FCR (wait/gain) was for those shrimp cultured in MC. No significantly differences were observed in PER and PEP between shrimp cultured in the three evaluated systems. The juveniles cultured in MC system had significantly (P>0.05) higher survival values than juveniles cultured in PC1 and PC2. Final BW, weight gain WG and weekly growth rate WGR of Juveniles cultured in PC1 system were higher than Juveniles cultured in PC2 system. Survival rate of red tilapia cultured in PC system was 100% in both PC1 and PC2 systems.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an alternative to fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the culture of mesenchymal stem cells in cell therapy
Authors: Santos Jr AR , Sheguti TM
Published: October 2022

Stem cells (SC) are defined by having proliferation and differentiation properties, with cellular self-renewal capacity, due to these characteristics they are widely studied in the cell therapy field. The Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) represent the most studied population of SC, due to their capacity to originate cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle, neural precursors, among other cells. To culture MSCs in the laboratory, culture medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS) must be used. Despite its extensive use in protocols for cell expansion, FBS presents potential risks that cannot be neglected and are difficult to eliminate from serum. An alternative to the use of SFB is platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which contains high concentration of growth factors (GFs) assisting in cell proliferation in vitro. The main objective of the study is to analyze the feasibility of replacing FBS with PRP from umbilical cord blood to supplement the cell culture medium.

The purpose of this study is the analysis of self - perceived quality of life and self-care of university students in their first years of Health Sciences Degrees at Instituto Académico Pedagógico de Ciencias Humanas (IAPCH) - National University of Villa María (UNVM). Methods: An observational, descriptive and correlational, cross-sectional design was implemented to conduct this study. It involved all the students in the first three years of the Medicine and Occupational Therapy degrees, with an estimated total of 280 students. The socio-demographics considered were: age, gender, origin and level of education of the immediate family members (father, mother and brother/sister). The Quality of Life assessment was carried out based on the SF-36 and the self-care assessment was performed according to the “Appraisal of the Capacity for Self-Care Agency Scale”. Results: Regarding quality of life, the Physical Component Summary (PCS) is higher than the Mental Component Summary (MCS) and with regard to the analysis based on gender, men revealed a higher perceived quality of life in both the physical and mental aspects. Women revealed a lower perceived quality of life regarding their physical functioning, emotional role, vitality, mental health, social role, bodily pain and general health. The analysis of self – care capacity showed that the total score in men and women corresponds to a medium level of self-care capacity, however, the highest proportion, in men as well as in women, was found in the category of low self-care capacity. Conclusion: the highest scores obtained for perceived quality of life regarding the physical and mental aspects were associated to the highest scores obtained for self- care.

Cheese is a milk derivative widely consumed in Brazil, having a great nutritional importance. The microbiological quality of food is of vital importance, as existing microorganisms, especially in products of animal origin, can cause serious diseases, so the objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of Minas Frescal cheese produced in a rural community in Brazil. Twenty samples of Minas Frescal cheese were analyzed, these samples were submitted to analysis for counting mesophilic aerobic bacteria, total coliform bacteria, coliform bacteria at 45°C and Staphylococcus aureus. Brazilian legislation was used as a parameter for the evaluation of the analyzed cheese samples. All samples analyzed showed high counts of mesophilic aerobic, bacteria total coliform bacteria, coliform bacteria at 45°C and Staphylococcus aureus. The high count of total coliform bacteria, coliform bacteria at 45°C and Staphylococcus aureus observed in the analyzed cheese samples suggests that this product may pose a health risk to consumers.

Malignant rhabdoid tumour is a very rare neoplasm with a high lethality rate. Its neoplastic cells present rhabdomyoblastic features, although those cells must be differentiated from epithelioid sarcoma, melanoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Therefore, this is a case report of a 21-year-old man who presented a Malignantrhabdoid tumour in the head of the pancreas. Patient was submitted to partial pancreatomy and gastrectomy in block, splenectomy, and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Anatomopathological analysis revealed invasive malignant neoplasm of the pancreas, which was classified as malignant epithelioid neoplasm according to the Department of Pathology, Emory University (Atlanta, United States of América). Systemic chemotherapy protocol consisted in ifosfamide, mesna and doxorrubicin, although after the first cycle of chemotherapy, patient died due to disease complications. According to literature only seven pancreatic neoplasms were described with rhabdoid features. Extra renal Malignant rhabdoid tumours diagnosis is challenging because of immunohistochemistry characteristics. Thus, this case report may contribute to medical literature, as recording and describing anatomo pathological and immunochemistry features of one more case of this rare neoplasm, which in this case was described in an uncommon age range and organ.

The students online dance coursework performances are affected due to low family income. This study aims to understand the students' wellbeing in the new education setup amidst the pandemic. It used a descriptive qualitative research design ensuing the six steps: familiarizing with data, creating codes, theming, reviewing, defining, and naming and producing the final report by Clarke and Braun1 thematic analysis of qualitative data interpretation. Anchored on the interview and focus group discussion using google meet recording. For the twenty-two student respondents in online dance coursework, the central theme identified is low family income which ripples the effect having four sub- themes identified based on the patterns of the responses. The following sub-themes derived are: (a) unreliable gadgets, (b) limited internet access, (c) overwhelming activities, and (d) emotionally distressed with sub-themes of the pandemic, family problems, environment, and due dates resulting in delayed to no submission of output. Listening to students' realities reveals that most of their families have low incomes, hampers them from attending an online dance class. And it creates a ripple effect on students' lives, be it in school activities, family, and personal responsibilities and concerns, leading to depression and stopping attending online classes. The teachers play a significant role in the well-being of the students by alleviating and motivating them to pursue their education amidst the challenges. From time to time, conduct and provide an accommodating, safe, non-judgmental and conducive for learning environment during informal talks about students' present situations. Then plan, organize, and provide alternative activities appropriate to students' context.

Published: October 2022

Meniscus functions as a load distribution, shock absorption, proprioception, lubrication, and stabilization. Meniscal roots anchor the medial and lateral menisci to the tibial plateau, allowing the meniscus to disperse axial loads into hoop stresses. Currently, repair of meniscus root is the treatment of choice for meniscus root tears. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of medial meniscus posterior root repair in elderly patients. Material and Methods: It is a prospective clinical and radiological study in 10 consecutive patients, who met the inclusion criteria and operated between June 2017 to June 2018 by a single surgeon. Patients were followed up for clinical and radiological evaluation by MRI. Duration of follow up ranges from 24 to 36 months. Results: Of the 10 patients (2 male and 8 female) with the mean age of 64 years. Mean follow-up period is 30 months. Mean BMI of the patients is 26.14 + 1.95 kg/m2. The difference in pre-operative and post-operative patient’s IKDC and Lysholm scores are significant (p value < 0.05). 2 patient showed complete healing of meniscus root, 8 patients showed partial healing and there was no repeat tear. Meniscus extrusion decreased from 5.2 + 0.8 mm preoperatively to 4.13 + 0.55 mm postoperatively. Conclusion: In this study, the outcomes after posterior medial meniscus root repair in elderly results in significant improvements in function, symptoms of pain, and activity level in spite of partial root healing in MRI in this short term follow up.

Виникнення поліномів Лагерра–Келі пов’язане з розв’язуванням задачі Коші для абстрактного однорідного еволюційного рівняння дробового порядку з необмеженим операторним коефіцієнтом A. З використанням зображення її розв’язку через операторну функцію Міттаг-Леффлера із заміною оператора A його перетворен-ням Келі A =(I −q)–1q і подальшим розкладом у ряд за степенями q одержується базова формула методу перетворення Келі. Коефіцієнтами цього ряду є функції Лагерра–Келі. Оскільки метод перетворення Келі належить до експоненціально збіжних методів і в ряді випадків є ефективнішим порівняно з існуючими методамиз точки зору алгоритмічної реалізації, дослідження функцій Лагерра–Келі є важливою і актуальною задачею.У статті досліджені основні властивості функцій Лагерра–Келі та пов’язаних із ними поліномів. Зна-йдено явний вигляд цих функцій та рекурентні формули двох типів (з інтегральним членом і без нього), які вони задовольняють. Доведено, що поліноми Лагерра–Келі не задовольняють тричленне рекурентне співвідношення, а отже, не утворюють ортогональну систему. Вони також не є розв’язками диференціальних рівнянь скінченних порядків зі змінними поліноміальними коефіцієнтами, незалежними від степеня полінома.Вивчено ряд властивостей нулів поліномів Лагерра–Келі. З використанням засобів комп’ютерної алгебриMaple знайдено асимптотичну поведінку досліджуваних функцій, що є дуже важливим для обґрунтування експоненціальної швидкості збіжності методу перетворення Келі.

Досліджено склад і антиоксидантні властивості екстрактів, вилучених із рослин Deschampsia antarc tica É. Desv., зібраних у регіоні Аргентинських островів — півострова Київ (Морська Антарктика).. Склад екстрактів вивчено методами високоефективної рідинної хроматографії та мас-спектрометрії з матрично- активованою лазерною десорбцією/іонізацією; антиоксидантні властивості досліджено методом Фоліна— Чокальтеу та DPPH-тесту. Встановлено, що основними класами речовин, які містяться в екстрактах, є поліфенольні сполуки, зокрема флавоноїди, гідроксикоричні та гідроксибензойні кислоти. Підтверджено, що флавоноїди переважно представлені глікозидами лютеоліну; склад та кількість фенольних сполук залежить від генотипу рослини, місця походження та умов навколишнього середовища. Виявлено, що загальний вміст поліфенолів у досліджених екстрактах знаходиться в діапазоні 4, 33—10, 93 мг/г сирої сировини; найбільшу кількість активних речовин містять екстракти, вилучені з рослин острова Україна, а найменшу — з острова Дарбу. Результати антиоксидантних досліджень показали, що екстракти виявляють високу антирадикальну активність і здатні за 60 хв інгібувати понад 50 % DPPH радикалів. Одержані дані щодо складу поліфенолів у рослинах Deschampsia antarctica É. Desv. Можуть слугувати маркером для моніторингу кліматичних змін.
