Geometridae Stephens, 1829 from different altitudes in Western Himalayan Protected Areas of Uttarakhand, India (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Authors: Sanyal A. K. , Dey P. , Uniyal V. P. , Chandra K. , Raha A.
Published: November 2024

The Geometridae Stephens, 1829 are considered as an excellent model group to study insect diversity patterns across elevational gradients globally. This paper documents 168 species of Geometridae belonging to 99 genera and 5 subfamilies from different Protected Areas in a Western Himalayan state, Uttarakhand in India. The list includes 36 species reported for the first time from Uttarakhand, which hitherto was poorly explored and reveals significant altitudinal range expansion for at least 15 species. We sampled different vegetation zones across an elevation gradient stretching from 600 m up to 3600 m, in Dehradun-Rajaji landscape, Nanda Devi National Park, Valley of Flowers National Park, Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, Gangotri National Park and Askot Wildlife Sanctuary. The subfamily Ennominae represented the maximum number of species, and the species of subfamily Larentiinae were found to be more restricted to higher elevation areas. Western Mixed Coniferous forest held the greatest number of species, whereas the Subalpine forest was characterized by the highest number of indicator species identified through Indicator Species Analysis. While Indo-Malayan species dominated the assemblage composition, the maximum number of Himalayan endemics suggested that these species are long adapted to the Himalayan climatic gradient and ongoing climate-mediated perturbation may hamper their future survival.

Authors: Yazici Mümin Murat , Parça Nurullah , Hamdioğlu Enes , Kaçan Meryem , Yavaşi Özcan , Bilir Özlem
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Spectral Doppler echocardiography is used to evaluate diastolic dysfunction of the heart. However, it is difﬁcult to assess diastolic function with this modality in emergency department (ED) settings. Based on the hypothesis that E-point septal separation (EPSS) measured by M-mode in the parasternal long-axis (PSLA) view may facilitate the assessment of diastolic function in emergency patient care, we aimed to investigate whether EPSS measured by M-mode in the PSLA view correlates with spectral Doppler assessment in patients with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Methods: We performed this prospective, observational, single-center study was performed in the ED of a tertiary training and research hospital. All patients who presented to the emergency critical care unit with symptoms of heart failure were evaluated by the cardiology department, had grade 1 diastolic dysfunction conﬁrmed by the cardiology department, and did not meet any of the study’s exclusion criteria. The study population of 40 (included rate 14%) was formed after the exclusion criteria were applied to 285 patients who met these conditions. Patients included in the study underwent spectral Doppler measurements in the apical four-chamber (A4C) view followed by M-mode measurements in the PSLA view. We then compared the measurements. Results: The correlation between the early diastolic velocity of the mitral inﬂow to the late diastolic velocity (E/A) ratio in spectral Doppler measurements and the EPSS/ A-point septal separation (APSS) ratio in M-mode was strong (correlation coefﬁcient 0.677, P = 0.001). Similarly, the correlation between E in spectral Doppler measurements and the EPSS/APSS ratio in M-mode measurements was also moderately strong (correlation coefﬁcient 0.557, P = 0.001). Conclusion: A signiﬁcant correlation exists between the M-mode EPSS/APSS ratio measurement in the PSLA view and the spectral Doppler E/A ratio measurement in the A4C window to evaluate grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. This association suggests that M-mode measurements in the PSLA may be used in diastolic dysfunction.
Supervision and control over factory law compliance in Ukrainian lands within the Russian Empire (1884–1917)
Authors: Terela Halyna
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the emergence and formation of the institute for supervision and control over the observance of factory law in the Russian Empire, the extension of factory law to the Ukrainian provinces, which were a part of the Kyiv and Kharkiv factory districts, within four chronological periods. The lower limit is 1884, which extends the narrowly specialized inspection for the supervision over the minors up to Ukrainian lands, and the upper limit is 1917 when the Russian Empire ceased its existence due to the February Revolution. Having started as a highly specialized body for supervising the observance of the legislation regarding minor workers, the factory inspection gradually turned into a body of general supervision, taking over the functions of both legal and technical inspection. The purpose of this work is to study the organizational and legal principles that determine the trends and effectiveness of the bodies of supervision and control over compliance with factory law, taking into account the practice of supervision and control in ethnic Ukrainian lands, which were a part of the Russian Empire. The processing of consolidated reports by factory inspectors and the archival materials, some of which were first introduced into scientific circulation, provided an opportunity to determine the specifics for the implementation of control and supervision activities in the Kyiv and Kharkiv factory districts.

Published: November 2024

African swine fever (ASF) is a viral hemorrhagic disease with extremely high mortality among domestic pigs and wild boars. According to OIE data for the last 5 years, the disease has spread over a vast area. The number of countries and territories affected by ASF has increased in recent years, with notifications received from sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and Asia, and the territory of the Russian Federation. The main factors that increase the risk of disease spread are livestock management systems with inappropriate biosafety measures and human behavior. Many countries struggle to effectively implement livestock disease control measures due to deficiencies in veterinary services. In many cases, this is due to a lack of long-term investment, inappropriate consideration of the perspectives of different stakeholders, and policies based on inadequate crisis management strategies that do not effectively implement, coordinate and sustain the necessary interventions and resources. The impossibility and inability to adapt to different epizootic situations increases the importance of scientific research, methodological developments that will help to better control ASF or open new approaches to solving problems in long-standing enzootic foci. This article focuses on current knowledge and advances in ASF virology, clinical manifestations of infection with modern strains, epidemiology, diagnosis and control.

IXODID TICKS IN KYRGYZSTAN AND TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS TRANSMITTED BY THEM
Authors: Chorov M. J.
Published: November 2024

Ixodid ticks and associated tick-borne pathogens are of great importance from both veterinary and public health perspectives. Many ixodid ticks circulate in a wide geographical area of Kyrgyzstan. However, limited reports on tick-borne pathogens and the absence of reports on ticks around the border region with neighboring countries highlight the need for their study. A review of the available literature, including some historical data, was conducted to collect information on all reported tick species and associated zoonotic pathogens in Kyrgyzstan. Diverse natural complexes are habitats for many animals - potential hosts for blood-sucking insects - ticks. Ticks are the main carriers of viruses and bacteria that threaten the health of animals and humans. The diversity of the animal world and the landscape and climatic conditions of the country create the basis for the existence of natural foci of various pathogens associated with ticks.

Transformasi Identitas Budaya Minangkabau di Perantauan
Authors: Azura Kyla Puteri , Millah Salma Auzia Minhatul , Chairunissa Jesenia , Visidia Lisa Cosmona
Published: November 2024

The Minangkabau people, often called Minang, are an ethnic group primarily living in the province of West Sumatra, Indonesia. With the rapid pace of globalization and urbanization, many Minangkabau people choose to migrate in search of better economic opportunities and quality of life. Merantau, or migration, has become a widespread tradition in the Minang community. Traditionally, this practice was carried out by men, while women stayed in their hometowns. However, nowadays, women also participate in merantau. Migration is not only a part of a long-standing tradition passed down through generations but also a way to demonstrate personal maturity and responsibility. The spirit of merantau is very strong among the Minangkabau people, with surveys suggesting that their migration rate is among the highest in Indonesia. This migration process encourages cultural acculturation, which can either strengthen or alter the original Minangkabau culture. With increasing education levels and broader perspectives, many Minangkabau people are beginning to question the matrilineal kinship system that has traditionally defined their society. While these changes can bring positive effects, they also carry the risk of altering or diluting long-held customary values.

Published: November 2024

La dependencia emocional se define como un patrón de necesidades afectivas insatisfechas que las personas intentan satisfacer de manera inapropiada a través de relaciones interpersonales. Por el contrario, el estado de ánimo son las experiencias emocionales de una persona; que pueden variar, pero normalmente son estables a lo largo del tiempo. El objetivo general de este estudio fue analizar la relación entre la dependencia emocional y el estado de ánimo en estudiantes universitarios. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance descriptivo-correlacional y de corte transversal, con una muestra conformada por 150 estudiantes (53.2% hombres; 54.2% mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 30 años. Para medir las variables se utilizó el Cuestionario de Dependencia Emocional (CDE) y la Escala de Valoración del Estado de Ánimo (EVEA). Los resultados mostraron que el 52.7% de los participantes presentaron un nivel leve de dependencia emocional, mientras que el 46.7% mostró un nivel moderado. La alegría se identificó como el estado de ánimo predominante en la muestra. Sin embargo, se observó una correlación baja pero positiva entre la dependencia emocional y estados de ánimo negativos como ansiedad, ira-hostilidad y tristeza-depresión. Además, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en los niveles de dependencia emocional en relación con el sexo.

Published: November 2024

This review's primary goal is to include an energy storage system for incorporating renewable energy into microgrids. Both the integration of renewable energy sources with microgrids and the use of inappropriate storage systems are detrimental to renewable energy. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are essential for facilitating the efficient integration of renewable energy sources in microgrids and resolving the intermittency and variable issues posed by these sources. Modern energy storage techniques and their use in microgrids are thoroughly reviewed in this paper. Renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, and occasionally biomass or small-scale hydropower are being integrated into microgrid designs more and more. Resilient and sustainable energy supplies are enhanced by this integration. Continuous advancements are made in the dynamic field of microgrid integration with renewable energy sources. However, there are still a lot of difficulties with integration, such as intermittent and variable performance, financial and technological obstacles, policy and regulatory problems, and grid connection difficulties. The review investigates how ESS can enhance grid stability, enhance energy management, and maximize the use of renewable energy sources. Various challenges of Renewable Energy Storage System have also been reviewed in this paper.   Additionally, it looks at the opportunities and difficulties of adopting ESS in microgrids, including the requirement for effective deployment and control strategies. To show how effectively ESS enables the integration of renewable energies in microgrids, case studies and practical applications are discussed. The analysis concludes with suggestions for future research initiatives, highlighting the significance of developing ESS technologies to create robust and sustainable energy systems. This paper could end with suggestions for future research directions in the field of energy storage systems for microgrids, as well as recommendations for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers.

Genetic Predisposition to Hypertension in West Africa: Insights from Regional Studies
Authors:   Faculty of Biological Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Thalia Odile Patrick
Published: November 2024

Hypertension is a major public health concern in West Africa, with prevalence rates higher than the global average. This review explores the genetic predisposition to hypertension in the region by synthesizing findings from regional studies. While environmental factors like diet, obesity, and urbanization significantly contribute to hypertension, genetic factors play a critical role in the susceptibility to this condition. West African populations, known for a high prevalence of salt sensitivity, demonstrate familial clustering of hypertension, suggesting strong genetic underpinnings. Key genetic markers identified include variants in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), sodium-handling genes, and genes affecting vascular tone. These genetic predispositions, in interaction with environmental factors such as high sodium intake and obesity, exacerbate hypertension risk. The review underscores the importance of understanding these genetic factors to develop targeted prevention and treatment strategies, which can lead to more personalized healthcare approaches for managing hypertension in West Africa.

Keywords: Hypertension, Genetic predisposition, West Africa, Salt sensitivity.

Study of the Effect of Anisotropic Metamaterials on Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Cylindrical Waveguides
Authors: Mutashar Zainab N. , Tarrad Sura N.
Published: November 2024

This research is centered on investigating electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials with anisotropic features. These metamaterials are distinguished from isotropic materials in regard to their effects on waves. Unlike single-negative materials (SNG), all modes propagate in reverse, then transform into forward propagation with positive energy flow at a certain frequency. In inhomogeneous waveguides, some higher modes show a continuous energy flow, either positive or negative, without transitions. The contrast factor is an important element in controlling the propagation properties within waveguides, as its modification affects the propagation direction and other wave properties.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Alterations in normal sleep patterns are common in intensive care patients and can instigate psychological and physiological dysfunctions, increasing morbidity and, consequently, mortality. Objective: This study will determine the impact of sleep to which sleep is impaired in intensive care patients and identify action strategies to improve sleep and comfort in these patients. Material and Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out using the PICO method. The search terms were "critically ill adult patients," "nursing care," and "sleep promotion." Nine articles were included for analysis, published between 2018 and 2023. Results and discussion: Most studies confirm that patients in intensive care units have poor sleep. Evidence shows that the main causes of poor sleep in intensive care units are essentially focused on aspects inherent to the environment and the behavior of health professionals. The interventions to be implemented aim to create an environment conducive to sleep, recognizing its role in the patient's recovery. This includes stabilizing the nighttime environment, reducing staff conversations, reducing lighting and alarm call volume, and promoting relaxation techniques through massage, music therapy, mental imagery and relaxation. Conclusions: Sleep promotion in this patient population should be a higher priority for nurses and intensive care professionals. Sleep should be a focus during the day and night to maintain patients' natural circadian rhythms as much as possible.

Datura is a well-known toxic plant, and several cases of death due to Datura intoxication have been reported. It has been documented as a plant with hallucinogenic properties. This study aimed to determine the biochemical and neurological effects of hydroethanolic seed extracts of Datura metel on the hippocampus and cerebellar cortex of adult rats. Twenty-five adult rats were assigned into five (5) groups (A, B, C, D, and E). Group A served as the negative control, and B served as the positive control, administered with lead acetate. While groups C, D and E were treated with 150mg/kg, 300mg/kg, and 600mg/kg body weight of the seed extracts. The animals were humanely sacrificed after 14 days of exposure. Haematoxylin, eosin stain, and immunohistochemical staining were carried out for neurofilament proteins (NFP) and neuro-specific enolase (NSE). Brain tissues for biochemical analysis were homogenized, and the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, malondialdehyde, and glutathione S-Transferase were measured. Results showed a non-statistically significant increase in SOD, catalase, and GST. However, there was a statistically significant decrease in the level of MDA. Oral administration of hydroethanolic seed extracts of Datura metel in adult rats created changes in the histology of the hippocampus and cerebellar cortex of the rats, such as perineural vacuolation and apparent reduction in neuronal cells. The results of the immunohistochemical investigation point to a dose-dependent increase in NFP, while NSE was markedly expressed.

Authors: MARQUES Maxwel Miranda , BECK Stephanie Vieira , PROSDÓCIMO Maria Luiza , SOUSA Patrícia Tolentino da Rosa de , MACEDO MACEDO
Published: November 2024

Introdução: A exodontia de terceiros molares envolve inúmeros riscos, como algias intensas, associada ou não com sintomas como trismo, edemas, alveolites, hemorragia, fraturas, injurias periodontais, alterações sobre a articulação temporomandibular, infecções e parestesias. Objetivo: Reportar um caso de exodontia de terceiro molar irrompido, que apresenta íntimo contato com o canal mandibular. Metodologia: Paciente do gênero feminino, leucoderma, ASA (Classificação da Sociedade Americana de Anestesiologia) I, 26 anos, buscou atendimento na clínica escola de Odontologia da Faculdade Herrero, com queixa principal de dor e inflamação nos terceiros molares. Após a realização do exame clínico e radiografia periapical, foi observado que o terceiro molar inferior direito estava irrompido e havia a presença de um abcesso periapical no elemento 48. Foram realizados outros exames complementares de imagem, como radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Constatou-se que o elemento 48 apresentava íntimo contato com o canal mandibular, área responsável por acomodar o nervo alveolar inferior. Foi elaborado um plano de tratamento que consistia na realização da exodontia do elemento 48 de forma menos traumática possível. Conclusão: Apesar do íntimo contato das raízes do terceiro molar inferior com o canal mandibular e a relação com o nervo alveolar inferior, é possível concluir que, por meio de um plano de tratamento bem executado, em soma a exames imaginológicos adequados e a experiência técnica, a realização de exodontias de terceiros molares , livre de intercorrências é possível.

Gerovės valstybės modeliai šiuolaikinėje kultūrinėje tradicijoje
Authors: Plėšnys Albinas
Published: November 2024

Visuomeniniame gyvenime „gerovės valstybės“ sąvoka vartojama nevienareikšmiškai. Dėl to kyla įvairiausių konceptualių painiavų. Straipsnyje išskiriamos ir aptariamos įtakingiausios gerovės valstybės sampratos tikintis, kad tai padės pasiekti skirtingas politines pažiūras ar nuostatas ginančių tyrėjų tarpusavio supratimą. Tomis įtakingiausiomis gerovės valstybės vizijomis laikoma klasikinio liberalizmo ar libertarizmo siūloma procedūrinio gerovės modelio teorija, pagal kurią laisvė, laisvosios verslininkystės sistema ir privati nuosavybės teisė laikoma pagrindinėmis priemonėmis gerovei pasiekti. Antrasis gerovės valstybės modelis yra tas, su kuriuo dažniausiai tapatinama gerovės valstybė. Tai paternalistinis paskirstomosios gerovės modelis, kuris paprastai siejamas su socialdemokratine politine doktrina. Straipsnyje parodoma, kad šis modelis susiduria su loginio nuoseklumo problemomis. Trečiojo gerovės valstybės modelio šiais laikais laikosi krikščioniškasis socialinis mokymas, nors pagrindinius jo principus suformulavo dar Aristotelis. Šis modelis remiasi bendruoju gėriu kaip esminiu valstybės tikslu ir gali būti vadinamas tiksliniu gerovės valstybės modeliu. Išoriškai jis panašus į skirstomosios gerovės modelį, tačiau jo esmė yra kita. Jis yra logiškai nuoseklus, nors ne visiems priimtinas dėl savo filosofinių principų.
Българите през погледа на руснаците през ХІХ век
Authors: Калиганов Игор
Published: November 2024

Статията е първият опит да се осветли истинското възприемане на българите през погледа на руснаците през XIX век. Обикновено тази тема е разкривана сдържано, с избягване на острите ръбове и премълчаване на онези трудности, които неизбежно са възниквали в резултат на взаимното неразбиране между руските освободители и поробеното от турците българско население. Това неразбиране възниква не само поради разликата между българския и руския език, но преди всичко поради недостатъчното познаване от страна на руснаците на местните обичаи и психологията на българите, формирани под чуждо иго. Поради тази причина руснаците много често тълкували погрешно поведението на българите, като не били в състояние да разберат правилно истинската му предистория.

Published: November 2024

An empirical study conducted during the year 2022-23 at KNK College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (MP), India investigated the impact of gamma irradiation on floral quality and post-harvest parameters of four gladiolus varieties (V1 : Arka Aayush, V2: Arka Pratham, V3 : Arka Kesar and V4 : Arka Tilak) using five gamma doses (G1: 0.0 kr, G2 : 1.25 kr, G3 : 2.25 kr, G4 : 3.25 kr and G5 : 4.25 kr) in a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). Results indicated that Arka Kesar excelled in various parameters, including diameter and length of florets, spike girth, spike length and flowering duration. While, Arka Aayush exhibited superior performance in terms of vase life. Gamma irradiation at 0.00 kr (control) positively influenced several parameters, such as floret diameter, floret length, spike girth, spike length and vase life. The dose of 1.25 kr was beneficial for flowering duration. The interaction between gamma irradiation and varieties significantly affected vase life. Specifically, Arka Pratham irradiated with 0.00 kr exhibited the longest vase life (12.82 days).
