Published: March 2023

Resistance shown by Staphylococcus aureus to methicillin; mediated by mecA, and vancomycin; mediated by vanA, has led to difficulty in treatment of related infections. Despite reports showing methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin resistant S. aureus (VRSA) in Nepal, and need for their regular surveillance, no study has been conducted on it in our hospital. So, this study is aimed to determine prevalence of MRSA, VRSA and their molecular characterization along with antibiogram. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from August to December, 2022 in Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of NMCTH among S. aureus (n=160) isolated from various clinical specimens after receiving ethical approval from NMC-IRC. AST was done by modified Kirby-Bauer’s disc diffusion method. MRSA and VRSA were detected by cefoxitin disc method and agar dilution method respectively. Inducible clindamycin resistance was detected by D-test. Resistant genes (mecA, PVL, and vanA) were detected using conventional PCR. Prevalence of MRSA was found to be 31.2% (50/160) but none of the isolates were resistant to vancomycin. Total 7 (46.6%) mecA and 7 (46.6%) PVL genes were detected among 15 selected MRSA isolates but vanA was not found. All the MRSA isolates were susceptibile to co-trimoxazole, tigecycline, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid. The resistance rate against ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and clindamycin was 52.0%, 44.0%, and 68.0% (20.0% iMLSB, 28.0% cMLSB and 16.0% MS-phenotypes) respectively. Prompt implementation of hospital antibiotic policy and AMR Act by government along with regular surveillance of MRSA and VRSA seems essential to contain MRSA infections. Co-trimoxazole could be treatment option against MRSA in our setting, keeping vancomycin in reserve. However, large scale studies are required to establish this conclusion.

Published: March 2023

The fluctuation of water quality of Surabaya river requires anticipation of online monitoring of major pollution parameters of BOD, COD, TSS for input in the drinking water treatment process. The sustainability of long-term river water quality is also very important for the sustainability of the operation of Water Treatment Installation. The purpose of this study is modelling water quality parameters to find empirical equations to calculate the value of BOD, COD, TSS from DO values with regression method and test the sustainability of Surabaya river water quality parameters using a control chart. This study developed an empirical relationship to estimate BOD, COD, TSS based on DO which has been validated statistically. The results showed that BOD, COD and TSS decreased with increasing DO and among them COD parameters decreased at a higher level compared to BOD or TSS for each increase in DO. Research data with control charts and boxplot methods also show similarities in Surabaya river water quality data characteristics for BOD, COD, TSS and DO between 2014 and 2015 which can still be tested again for the next few years to ensure the sustainability of raw water quality for drinking water treatment plants in the city of Surabaya and has great potential to be tested on rivers where raw water is used for drinking water sources in many cities in Indonesia.

Published: March 2023

Globally, currently more than 50 percent of the world's population lives in urban areas. It is projected that 70 percent of the world's population will live in cities by 2050. Given the sheer scale of urbanization and its environmental implications, it is important to consider the interrelationships between urban and rural contexts in an integrated manner. Achieving sustainable development requires priorities and the implementation of tailored policies in both urban and rural areas. One way that can be done is to strengthen rural cultural values in communities and indigenous peoples. In this study, the case study raised is the cultural value of the Samin Bojonegoro community in maintaining cultural values and preventing the flow of urbanization of its population. The creation of a livable environment through the cultural values of the Samin community will be raised through this research through ethnographic approach with synchronic and diachronic presentation. As a result The Samin community, which is rooted in the culture of an agrarian society, has not changed much in terms of vegetation, land use, and cultural activities. This has an impact on environmental sustainability and cultural establishment so that it seems as if it has a border from outside influences while also protecting cities from urbanization flows and environmental burdens
Introduction to Design for Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Rosen David , Wong Janet
Published: March 2023

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes fabricate parts in a layer-by-layer manner by which materials are added and processed repeatedly. This article introduces the general concepts and approaches to design for AM (DFAM) and outlines important implications for part characteristics, design opportunities, manufacturing practices, supply chains, and even business models. It presents contrasting perspectives on DFAM, followed by a discussion on more general and overarching opportunistic design methods and on design for constraints, similar to conventional DFM. It concludes with a presentation of a design approach to the AM process chain, acknowledging that AM-fabricated parts typically undergo several postprocessing steps and that it is important to design taking into account these steps.

Published: March 2023

Schools and other learning environments have increasingly promoted equal educational opportunities among all students in recent years to create more inclusive learning environments. Inclusive education has impactful benefits on all students, not just those with diverse needs, as it is "the gateway to full participation in society" (United Nations, n.d, pg. 3). However, barriers to inclusion such as staff training and funding are necessary to consider in order to create and maintain meaningful, inclusive learning environments. In order to overcome these barriers to inclusive education, educators have been encouraged to integrate aspects of both Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) to maintain the least restrictive environment while tailoring to individual student needs. The integration of UDL principles into classroom/learning environments promotes inclusion through supports for all students, including those with diverse needs. Educators can utilize strategies like the Three-Block Model of Universal Design for Learning (TBM) and ADAPT to aid them in the integration of UDL.

Authors: Yakubets T. , Bochkov V.
Published: March 2023

Modern methods of breeding rabbits are based on the use of genotypic parameters, the assessment of which allows effective work on increasing the productivity of rabbits. The aim of the work was to study the indices of heritability of female rabbit productivity traits, to establish a relationship between them, and to determine the influence of males on the performance of doe productivity. The research was conducted using rabbits of the ancestral forms of the Hyla cross - male GPC (n=47) and female rabbits GPD (n=79), as well as doe of the maternal form - NG (n=223). The heritability of breeding traits of female rabbits was studied, the correlation and regression between them were evaluated, and the influence of males with different weight indices on the productivity of doe of the maternal form. The results of research indicate that doe of the maternal form prevailed over females of the ancestral form in terms of milk yield by 1814 g (р ≤ 0.01), but were inferior to them in terms of multifertility. Evaluating the correlation coefficients between the characteristics of the performance of female rabbits of the ancestral form, a probable (р ≤ 0.05) average inverse relationship (r = -0.561) was found between multiple fertility and high fertility. In female rabbits of maternal form, there was a strong direct relationship between high fecundity and live weight of rabbits at the age of 21 days (r=+0.794) (р ≤ 0.05). It was established that the main reproductive characteristics of female rabbits of the maternal form have low heritability (0,04-0,21). The probable influence of males with different weight indices on doe fertility was revealed (21% (р≤0.001)) and on the milk yield (18% (р≤0.001)) of the maternal form. The obtained research results will have significant practical value when planning breeding work with various structural elements of the Hyla cross.

Authors: Bal-Prylypko L. , Nikolaienko M. , Omelian A.
Published: March 2023

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) has thin covering tissues and tender juicy flesh. This contributes to mechanical damage and leads to further losses in the post-harvest period. Besides, аpricot is a climacteric fruit. It is characterized by a high intensity of respiration and metabolism, and the greatest sensitivity to ethylene among all stone fruits. Therefore, after harvesting, the ripening process occurs quickly, that leads to a limitation of the shelf life. Storage in a modified atmosphere is used to inhibit metabolic processes, but, in this way, it is not always possible to get the desired result and avoid fungal, rotten and other signs of deterioration. Therefore, today research devoted to the study of alternative methods and methods of improving the preservation of the quality of apricot fruits is objectively becoming relevant. The aim of the research is to substantiate the expediency of pre-treatment of apricot fruits with chitosan and to determine the most effective concentration of it for the preservation of quality indicators. The research uses physico-chemical methods of research and methodological bases of the processes of accumulation, systematization, analysis, generalization and synthesis of data. For the researches were used the consumer-ripe apricot fruits treated with 1,0; 2,0 and 3,0 % solutions of low molecular weight chitosan. The mass fraction of dry soluble substances at the end of storage in the control was 7,0 %, it is less on 0,4–1,0 % compared to the samples that were pretreated with chitosan solutions. The mass fraction of sugars on the twenty-fifth day of storage varied between 5,9–7,0 %, it is more on 0,9–2,0 % than the control. The loss of organic acids at the end of storage was less on 0,16–0,36 % than the control. The results make it possible to prolong the quality, freshness of look and marketability of apricot fruits, to avoid large losses of the harvested the fruit for storage period.
SYNTHESIS OF THE MODERN AGRICULTURAL MACHINES TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION FORM, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE PECULIARITIES OF THE OPERATION OF THEIR HYDRAULIC DRIVES IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF UKRAINE
Authors: Liashenko D. , Meliantsov P.
Published: March 2023

The domestic scientific and methodical principles of the organization of the system of technical maintenance and repair of agricultural machines today do not fully comply with the established material and technical capabilities and market relations that have developed in the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine, directly in the context of hydraulic machines, which are equipped with modern agricultural machinery. Decomposition of the theoretical structure of the organization of technical maintenance and repair of components of agricultural machines, further analysis of its elements made it possible to identify a number of factors: subjective distribution of service personnel, improperly organized exchange of experience between equipment operators within the enterprise, no reward for independent elimination of equipment failures by own efforts, an unhealthy level of competition between equipment operators during seasonal agricultural works in accordance with the terms of their implementation, which affects the quality of repair and maintenance work of hydraulic equipment. As a result of solving the identified issues of the maintenance and repair system, a system of restrictions has been proposed, which reflects the control of the efficiency indicators of the operators of the equipment due to their compliance with the values of the performance factor of the norms of agricultural technical works, changes in the time of performing agricultural technical works and restoring the efficiency of hydraulic drives. Based on the proposals, an algorithm has also been built to eliminate the failure of machines in the organization of maintenance and repair due to the depersonalization of the items of the machine and tractor fleet. The presented form, to a greater extent, is based on the minimization of the negative effects of the human factor, which prevent the objective organization of the work of equipment operators in the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine, which allows to reduce the average downtime of equipment and the deadlines for performing agricultural technical works due to the reassessment of the role of the qualification of equipment operators in service maintenance aggregates of hydraulic systems.

The theoretical efficiency of the developed form of organization of maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery will boost with an increase in the number of machines in the machine fleet of the agricultural sector, and proposals involving a change in the system of exchange of experience between machinery operators require a sufficient number of workers and machinery to ensure the possibility of solving tasks in pairs to avoid working equipment downtime.
Galic acid as a non-specific regulator of phenol synthesis and growth of regenerate plants of Corylus avellana (L.) H. Karst. and Salix alba L. in vitro

Published: March 2023

Gallic acid is found in plant tissues in free form, as well as in the composition of complex esters and hydrolysed tannins. These phenolic compounds have significant antioxidant activity and protect plant cells from damage by free radicals. In the conditions of stress that occurs during the introduction of plants into in vitro culture, the vast majority of explants are characterised by an intensive synthesis of phenols, which quickly oxidise, polymerise, block the explants’ nutrition pathways, and cause tissue necrosis. The addition of gallic acid in millimolar concentrations to the nutrient medium reduces the risk of autointoxication of tissues by secondary metabolic products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous gallic acid on organogenesis and phenolic synthesis of Salix alba and Corylus avellana plants in vitro. For this purpose, the study used methods of tissue and organ culture in vitro, spectrophotometric determination of total phenols and flavonoids in leaves, methods of dispersion and nonparametric analysis. It was established that gallic acid at a concentration of 1 mmol·l-1 in the composition of the DKW nutrient medium caused the awakening of dormant buds, stimulated the growth of shoots, and also promoted the branching of stems, the development and growth of lateral roots of Salix alba in vitro. It also inhibited the synthesis of phenols in Corylus avellana plants of the varieties ‘Tonda Romana’, ‘Tonda Gentile Dele Lange’, ‘Barcelona’, while contributing to an increase in the content of phenolic compounds in the leaves of the varieties ‘Tonda Di Giffoni’, ‘Mortarella’, and ‘Epsilon’. It was established that the varieties recommended for fruiting have a higher content of phenolic compounds (‘Tonda Gentile Dele Lange’ and ‘Tonda Di Giffoni’) compared to pollinator varieties (‘Mortarella’). Therefore, exogenous gallic acid at a concentration of 1 mmol·l-1 has the properties of a non-specific regulator of phenol synthesis in regenerating plants of hazel (Corylus avellana), which is relevant for plants with a high content of phenols, especially at the stage of their introduction into in vitro culture

Authors: Lakhno I , Korovai S , Zheleznyakov O , Novikova O
Published: March 2023

Hysterectomy is a widespread surgical intervention in gynecological practice. Open abdominal hysterectomy is accompanied by a significant algogenic afferent impulse from the site of surgical intervention. Therefore, the search for effective methods of combating postoperative pain is quite urgent. The article analyzes modern approaches to the preventive (preoperative) use of non-narcotic drugs for reliable pain control. Literature data suggest that the combined use of paracetamol, dexketoprofen, nalbuphin, as well as ropivacaine or bupivacaine allows to implement the concept of multimodal analgesia and optimize the recovery process after surgery. The clinical case is given as an example of the use of the specified Step-UP-analgesia of the postoperative period in an overweight patient with varicose veins of the lower extremities and severe history of septic shock. The review of literature and the experience of the authors testify to the considerable potential of multimodal anesthesia following abdominal hysterectomy.

Chronic pelvic pain (HTB) remains a relevant multidisciplinary problem. Its symptoms are the result of interaction between psychological factors and dysfunction of the immune, neurological and endocrine systems. HTB is a serious problem for women. Approximately 14% of women experienced HTB at least once in their lives. HTB is grueling and related to significant costs and incidence, and its etiology is multifactorial, which often complicates medical treatment and treatment of associated symptoms. Best practice guidelines recommend an interdisciplinary and biopsychosocial approach to treatment. However, the problem of HTB requires further comprehensive study and expanding possible methods of effective pain control and improving the quality of life of the female population.
The article systematizes literary sources on the genesis of pain, the principles of classification, diagnostics and management.

Published: March 2023

The university teachers’ tasks are being updated, their labor functions are being revised and supplemente, with changes at the higher education system. The good organization of a modern university teacher is subject to numerous external targets. The perception of these targets, as well as the personal value of the activity components, are important. The purpose of the article are the identification of tasks for a technical university teacher from the standpoint of the Higher School strategic targets, and determination of their solution limitations. The paper reveals the strategic tasks hierarchy of higher technical education – for technical universities, departments and their teachers; the academic community attitude review to strategic objectives is carried out (including: how the strategic objectives are understood by teachers, how priorities and emphasis are placed in these tasks); the priorities of technical universities teachers are evaluated in terms of their tasks solving; restrictions are indicated in solving these problems, and these restrictions connection with the working conditions of the technical universities teaching staff. The paper points out the balancing problem of the teachers work, and the emerging dissonance among the goals, tasks set for them, and private indicators of their activities effectiveness. The engineering education strategic goals and objectives should proceed from the fact, that this is a mutually responsible process of the qualified technical specialists training, from the authors’ point of view. This is especially topical for the returning process to the engineers training.

The scientific problem of the study is related to the identification of educational migration for university admission against the background of youth migration. The practical problems of the study are focused on the creation of analytical conditions for decision-making and planning for the education system development: the distribution of enrollment targets, financing and resource supporting the infrastructure development, and the development of the human resources potential of Russian universities. The object of the study is interregional youth educational migration for university admission. Federal universities data is described as the object of present study. Sources: official state statistics data of 2017-2021, “big data” is the results of passing the Unified State Examinations (USE) and the choice of university and direction of study by students for 2020. The research methodology is connected with the analysis of official statistics, the Russian regions typology according to the characteristics of youth migration: recipient regions, donor regions, regions of a mixed or “transit” type (leaving graduates are replaced by newcomers), closed (low intensity of migration processes). Educational migration was identified by analyzing and comparing databases on the results of the USE and the results of university admission. Stable patterns of migration processes, migration trends and directions have been identified as a result of the study.

Published: March 2023

Video feeds from traffic cameras can be useful for many purposes, the most critical of which are related to monitoring road safety. Vehicle trajectory is a key element in dangerous behavior and traffic accidents. In this respect, it is crucial to detect those anomalous vehicle trajectories, that is, trajectories that depart from usual paths. In this work, a model is proposed to automatically address that by using video sequences from traffic cameras. The proposal detects vehicles frame by frame, tracks their trajectories across frames, estimates velocity vectors, and compares them to velocity vectors from other spatially adjacent trajectories. From the comparison of velocity vectors, trajectories that are very different (anomalous) from neighboring trajectories can be detected. In practical terms, this strategy can detect vehicles in wrong-way trajectories. Some components of the model are off-the-shelf, such as the detection provided by recent deep learning approaches; however, several different options are considered and analyzed for vehicle tracking. The performance of the system has been tested with a wide range of real and synthetic traffic videos.
Deep learning techniques for biomedical data processing
Authors: Bianchini Monica , Dimitri Giovanna Maria
Published: March 2023

The interest in Deep Learning (DL) has seen an exponential growth in the last ten years, producing a significant increase in both theoretical and applicative studies. On the one hand, the versatility and the ability to tackle complex tasks have led to the rapid and widespread diffusion of DL technologies. On the other hand, the dizzying increase in the availability of biomedical data has made classical analyses, carried out by human experts, progressively more unlikely. Contextually, the need for efficient and reliable automatic tools to support clinicians, at least in the most demanding tasks, has become increasingly pressing. In this survey, we will introduce a broad overview of DL models and their applications to biomedical data processing, specifically to medical image analysis, sequence processing (RNA and proteins) and graph modeling of molecular data interactions. First, the fundamental key concepts of DL architectures will be introduced, with particular reference to neural networks for structured data, convolutional neural networks, generative adversarial models, and siamese architectures. Subsequently, their applicability for the analysis of different types of biomedical data will be shown, in areas ranging from diagnostics to the understanding of the characteristics underlying the process of transcription and translation of our genetic code, up to the discovery of new drugs. Finally, the prospects and future expectations of DL applications to biomedical data will be discussed.
Clustering of Cancer Responses to Stressors: Insights for Cancer Treatment and Disease Understanding
Authors: El Hadi Christopher , Hilal George , Aoun Rita
Published: March 2023

Cancer cells have unique metabolic activity in the glycolysis pathway compared to normal cells, which allows them to sustain their growth and proliferation. Therefore, inhibiting glycolytic pathways may provide a promising therapeutic approach to cancer treatment. In this first-of-its-kind study, we analyzed the genetic responses of cancer cells to stressors, particularly drugs that target the glycolysis pathway. Gene expression data for experiments on different types of cancer cells were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus and fold-change in expression was then clustered after dimensionality reduction. We identified four response clusters, the first and third were affected the most by anti-glycolytic drugs, consisting mainly of squamous and mesenchymal tissues, showing higher mitotic inhibition and apoptosis. Drugs acting on several glycolytic targets at once resulted in such responses. The second and fourth clusters were relatively unaffected by the treatments, succumbing the least to glycolysis inhibitors. These clusters are mainly gynecological and hormone-sensitive, with drugs acting on hexokinases mainly inducing this response. This study highlights the importance of analyzing the molecular states of cancer cells to identify potential targets for personalized cancer treatments and to improve our understanding of the disease.
Building a digital republic to reduce health disparities and improve population health in the United States
Authors: Muennig Peter , Pabayo Roman , Courtin Emilie
Published: March 2023

Income, schooling, and healthcare are key ingredients for health, but most government programs that are designed to provide these social benefits are difficult to access, target those least in need, and carry enormous administrative costs. Benefits such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Medicaid are difficult to enroll in, so only those who have the cognitive capacity to navigate the application process receive those benefits. The bureaucracies of welfare programs also increase the cost of administering the program. Redundancies in welfare programs also mean that there are redundant bureaucracies. In this commentary, we discuss a novel method for improving health while also improving privacy, reducing fraud, and improving data system compatibility. Specifically, we propose a digital identity credential that allows for the creation of a “digital republic” in which enrollment in social benefits can be automated, and the benefits can be targeted to those most in need. While there are large potential population health and health disparities benefits that could arise from a digital republic, more empirical work is needed to understand the extent to which nations have benefited from digital identity programs in the past and the political economy associated with implementing such programs.

This article reports the experience of two therapeutic group projects carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, coordinated by the working and research group Faces do Traumático [Faces of Trauma] at the Department of Psychoanalysis, Sedes Sapientiae Institute, São Paulo, Brazil. The groups were composed of people who lost family members as a result of Covid-19. We aim to demonstrate, using clinical vignettes and quotes from the participants, the importance of group interactions in the process of psychic elaboration of those losses, which took place in the broader context of social trauma that affected us all, through the recognition of suffering and the possibility of naming and giving voice to feelings that had remained silenced.

Authors: Syrovatko K.
Published: March 2023

The application of specialized premixes containing all the necessary elements for effective ration enrichment is the main direction of normalizing the mineral and vitamin nutrition of cows. The introduction of biologically active substances into animal diets in the form of premixes helps to increase the efficiency and productivity of the feed application. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of the mineral-vitamin premix Biomix on milk productivity and hematological blood parameters of cows. The experiment was carried out on Ukrainian Blackand-White Dairy cows. Two groups were formed for experiment; each group contains 10 heads. The animals of the experimental group were fed by premix Biomix at the rate of 50 g per 1 head per day as a part of the main diet. The control group was fed by the equivalent amount of monocalcium phosphate. The introduction of the Biomix premix into the diet of the research group made it possible to eliminate the deficiency of phosphorus, copper, zinc, cobalt, and iodine, and to bring the level of vitamin D3 to normal. Optimizing of the cows’ mineral and vitamin nutrition through the application of Biomix premix ensured the dairy productivity and the milk quality increase. The average daily milk yield of the experimental cows increased by 5.9 % for 90 experimental days. The fat and protein content increased by 0.05 and 0.07 %, respectively. Cows of the experimental group surpassed the control ones by 153.1 kg in gross milk yield, and by 1.71 kg in average daily yield in terms of 4 percent milk; it is 7.4 % relative to the control (P<0.05). The level of dry matter, calcium, phosphorus, and lactose have increased in milk; its total energy value has also increased. Feed consumption per 1 kg of milk decreased by 5.1 % and 5.4 % in terms of energy and digestible protein. Feeding Biomix premix did not have a negative effect on hematological changes in the body. Morphological and biochemical blood parameters of cows corresponded to physiological norms. An increase in total protein (Р≤0.95), hemoglobin (Р≤0.95), and creatinine (Р≤0.95) was noted. There was a tendency to increase the level of erythrocytes, glucose, urea, and calcium in the blood.

Key words: cows, premix Biomix, vitamins, minerals, milk, fat, protein, blood, erythrocytes, hemoglobin.
