Published: May 2023

Sixty patients who had been referred to our out patient clinic with the complaint of short stature and whose heights were found to be below 2 Standart Deviation Scores (SDS) of agerelated values were investigated to evaluate the effect of recombinant hGH treatment. Twenty-three (38.3 %) had hasal levels of Growth Hormone (GH) and bone age retardation along with heights 2 SDS below normal .. Insulin-induced hypoglycemia and L-OOPA stimulation tests were applied to these cases. Seven cases (30.49 %) gave a complete response to these tests, while 3 cases (13.04 %) gave partial response and 13 cases (56.52 %) gave no response at all.
Seven of the 13 patients with isolated GH deficiency were given recombinant GH 12 IU/m2 /week, subcutaneously, 6 days a week. These patients have not completed the treatment course. Reevaluation at the end of one year's therapy revealed a statistically significant difference in their growth velocities (p<0.05). We conclude that exogenous recombinant hGH is effective in the treatment of short stature due to isolated GH deficiency, and even betler responses can be achieved as the patients are recognized and treated earlier.

Bartter's Syndrome is characterized by the impairment of chloride reabsorbtion in the distal tubules of the kidney. As a result, the kidney loses chloride and persistent hypokalemia, hypochloremia and metabolic alkalosis ensue. Most cases come to the attention of the pediatrican for the early failure to thrive observed in childhood. Its mode of inheritance is thought to be autosomal dominant. in the 1. 5 month old male infant, who admitted to our clinic with the complaints of failure to suck and gain weight, we detected an increase in renal excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride. Plasma renin activity and plasma aldosteron levels were also high. With these results we diagnosed the case as Bartter's Syndrome. We treated the patient with oral potassium and rectal indomethacin. With this therapy, the patient's clinical status and laboratory results improved.
Homo viator digitalis: człowiek wirtualnego doświadczenia turystycznego
Authors: Bajon Paweł
Published: May 2023

Celem pracy jest próba syntezy trzech modeli społeczno-kulturowych człowieka, a mianowicie: homo viator, homo videns i homo digitalis w kontekście cyfrowych przemian życia społecznego oraz doświadczenia turystycznego.  Praca ma charakter teoretycznej analizy źródeł literaturowych.  Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala stwierdzić, że postępująca cyfryzacja oraz wirtualizacja życia tak indywidualnego, jak i społecznego współczesnego człowieka w sposób kompleksowy wyraża i przekonstruowuje wiele zjawisk życia społecznego, w tym dotyczących aktywności turystycznej, obecnych i zakorzenionych już w kulturze. Ważne miejsce w tworzeniu społecznych zapośredniczeń odgrywa kultura wizualna, jako podstawowy nośnik zarówno informacji, jak i relacji społecznych w cyfrowym środowisku człowieka. Doświadczenie turystyczne, podobnie, jak inne rodzaje doświadczeń w ludzkim życiu, staje się doświadczeniem rozgrywającym się w mieszanej, rzeczywisto-wirtualnej rzeczywistości (środowisku). Rozgraniczenie środowiska rzeczywistego i wirtualnego przestaje być możliwe, a nawet istotne. Tworzą one integralną całość, realizowaną w funkcjonalnie wyodrębnionej cyberprzestrzeni doświadczenia turystycznego.  Zasadnicze wnioski dotyczą zatem tego, iż doświadczenie turystyczne przybiera charakteru zwirtualizowanego doświadczenia, realizowanego w cyberprzestrzeni turystycznej, stanowiącej współczesny odpowiednik boorstinowskiej bańki turystycznej. W ramach tej przestrzeni, stanowiącej kontinuum rzeczywisto-wirtualne, funkcjonuje cyfrowy człowiek-pielgrzym, homo viator digitalis.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of the survey was to determine visitors’ knowledge of the regulations, their attitudes towards them as well as the declared degree of compliance. The article offers a comparative analysis of visitor management regulations in four national parks in the Carpathian Mountains (Tatra, Pieniny, Babia Góra, Bieszczady) and reports results of a survey involving 403 tourists who visited the parks in July and August 2021. Restrictions on tourist traffic in the four national parks vary significantly. Tourists’ attitudes towards these restrictions were found to be generally positive, and most respondents said they followed all or most of them. However, these results are inconsistent with the reported knowledge of the restrictions: a considerable percentage of the respondents were not familiar with them.
Tourism businesses management practices in the Plateau State, Nigeria, during the ‘new normal’: A chaos theory approach
Authors: Odinakachi Iirmdu Tina , Donaldson Ronnie
Published: May 2023

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic businesses in the travel and tourism industry were pushed to the edge of chaos and bifurcation and restrictions resulted in unprecedented and far-reaching impacts. Using a qualitative method, chaos theory is applied to investigate 24 tourism business managers in Plateau State in Nigeria on the business management practices employed for their businesses to promote tourism activities following the post-pandemic reopening of tourism businesses. Results reveal that most of the tourism businesses survived the pandemic with businesses gradually ‘bouncing back’ due to human resources and the overhauling of business operations. Bifurcation caused tourism businesses to be on paths that led to their closure (destruction), while some gained new market segments thanks to reorganization to reach self-organization facilitated by strange attractors. The incorporation of chaos theory in business management practices during the pandemic further confirms that crises are complex and unpredictable.

Bu çalışmada, daha önceki çalışmalarla mezbaha ve mandıralardan izole edilen ve halk sağlığı açısından risk oluşturan önemli patojenlerden Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria spp., Escherichia coli ve Salmonella spp. izolatlarının biyofilm oluşturma yeteneklerinin belirlenmesinde Kongo Kırmızısı Agar (KKA) ve Mikroplak (MP) yöntemlerinin etkinliğinin ve duyarlılıklarının karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışma sonucunda 135 izolatın %51.1’i KKA’da, %53’ü ise MP’de biyofilm üreticisi olarak belirlendi. Analiz edilen izolatlar arasında KKA yönteminin duyarlılığının en yüksek olduğu izolat S. aureus idi (%97) bunu Listeria spp. (%59), Salmonella spp (%17). ve E. coli (%13) izledi. Listeria spp., Salmonella spp .ve E. coli seçicilik oranları ise sırasıyla %39, %59 ve %89 idi. Ancak S. aureus izolatlarının tamamı MP testinde biyofilm pozitif sonuç verdiği için KKA’nın seçiciliği bu izolat için belirlenemedi. Sonuç olarak, KKA yönteminin duyarlılığı analiz edilen izolatlardan sadece S. aureus için yüksekti, diğer izolatlarda ise bu yöntemin seçiciliğinin iyi olduğu görüldü. Gıda ve gıda işleme ortamlarında halk sağlığı için risk oluşturabilen patojen suşlarına ait biyofilm yeteneklerinin doğru tespit edilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu nedenle, KKA’nın MP yöntemi ile tamamlayıcı bir şekilde uygulanması sonuçların güvenirliği ve biyofilmlerin tespiti için önemli olduğu sonucuna varıldı.

Bacterial infections subsequently leading to antibiotic resistance has been a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide especially in developing countries with high poverty rate and poor healthcare system. Thus, prompting the prospect in alternative therapy such as medicinal plants. In the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial action of stem bark extract of Anogeissus leiocarpus (AL) Guill and Perr. as applied in folkloric medicine for antibacterial purposes. The phytochemicals present in the plant extract were identified and quantified, followed by the determination of the antibacterial effects of the extract against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Molecular docking study was carried out to ascertain the inhibitory effects of compounds from AL against bacterial enzymes. Alkaloids (7.17% ±0.60), saponins (11.33% ±3.18), and flavonoids (31.01% ±4.04) were detected. A maximum ZI was observed for E. coli compared to S. aureus at the highest extract concentration (100 mg/mL) with amoxicillin having superior ZI at 50 mg/mL concentration. The MIC against E. coli and S. aureus were 12.5 mg/mL and ≤ 6.25 mg/mL respectively while the MBC was>100 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL respectively. Among the identified compounds, IX exhibited the least binding affinity (BA) (7.2 kcal/mol) and inhibition constant (Ki) (5 µM) against UDP-N-acetylglucosamine Enolpyruvyl Transferase (Mur A) compared to all the other targets. AL demonstrated antibacterial activity evidenced by the bacterial growth inhibition, bactericidal potential, and in-silico study revealing high affinity of the bacterial enzymes for the identified compounds, thereby supporting the acclaimed antibacterial use of the plant in folkloric medicine.

The authors analyzed 19 speeches (N = 19), resulting in 801 paragraphs (N = 801), of Trump from November 7, 2020, to January 6, 2021, collected from the White House and his campaign platforms. Within 19 speeches, the most frequently used words centered around achievements of Trump's administration and alleged election fraud. Eight hundred-one paragraphs further identified Trump's rhetoric style, using the frameworks of weaponized communication and bonding-bridging rhetoric. Over half of the 801 paragraphs contained weaponized communication cues, while 296 paragraphs used bonding tactics. There were indeed differences in the rhetoric employed between the White House speeches and the campaign ones.
2020 Presidential Election

Published: May 2023

Using Critical Race Theory and a Black feminist lens, we examine the content that members of Black Greek organizations shared during the 2020 presidential campaign cycle in support of the Biden-Harris ticket. We conclude Black Greek members served as opinion leaders who used social media effectively to spread positive messages, calls to action and programming. They helped move the focus away from historical racist and sexist narratives that framed former Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) in a negative light—shifting the emphasis to her strong ties to her HBCU roots and leadership prowess. Harris became the first Black, South Asian American, and female to serve as the Vice President of the United States. This study illustrates how scholars may use CRT and Black feminism to center women of color in critical analyses of social media content.
O PODER DE TRIBUTAR E A CRISE NO FINANCIAMENTO DOS DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS SOCIAIS NA ERA DA GLOBALIZAÇÃO
Authors: Breyner Frederico Menezes
Published: May 2023

O artigo objetiva analisar os impactos da globalização na capacidade estatal de financiar programas sociais por meio da tributação orientada pelos princípios da solidariedade e capacidade contributiva. A globalização propiciou uma mobilidade transnacional do capital, com a consequente exacerbação da concorrência tributária entre os países por meio da concessão de regimes tributários favoráveis, viabilizada por normas de direito tributário internacional. Concluiu-se que isso contribuiu para o aumento da regressividade do sistema tributário, contrariando o objetivo jurídico de uma tributação pautada na solidariedade própria do regime de Estado Social, distorção que deve ser considerada nas propostas de solução por meio da harmonização tributária internacional. O método de pesquisa foi o descritivo-compreensivo, por meio do qual se buscou uma descrição da globalização e de normas de direito tributário interno e internacional para a compreensão de suas relações e influência recíprocas. A metodologia utilizada foi a bibliográfica e documental, baseando-se em livros, artigos e legislação, de cuja análise extraiu-se a sustentação das conclusões.

The purpose of this research is to identify and assess teaching patterns at the Kusala Citta Buddhist Sunday School. This style of investigation is qualitative with descriptive analysis. This study's data gathering methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. Five teachers of the Kusala Citta Buddhist Sunday School and three representatives of Kusala Citta Buddhist Sunday School students provided the data for this research. The findings of this research indicate that students are inactive participants in the learning process due to the low implementation of instructional patterns. At Kusala Citta Buddhist Sunday School, the traditional teaching pattern and the technological teaching pattern are often used as instructional strategies. In conducting the examination of teaching patterns at Kusala Citta Buddhist Sunday School, the significance of curricular guidance in the implementation of learning was determined. The curriculum is the teacher's primary instructional base. Before teaching, the teacher must create a Learning Implementation Plan to make it simpler for them to establish patterns, approaches, and strategies. Students become learning centers throughout the learning process so they may explore their potential, perfect their abilities, and communicate their views. In order to inspire Buddhist Sunday School students to think critically and prudently, teachers must be able to create an engaging learning environment. In developing instructional patterns, techniques, and strategies, teachers must be creative and imaginative.

In the Peaceful Mind and Self Obstinance Mother and Child Story in Muslim and Buddhist Polygamy Families
Authors: Latifah  , Budiyanto Ary
Published: May 2023

Tradition and religion are often, on the one hand, used to legitimize conditions that are difficult for women, but on the other hand also offer values ​​that elevate women's dignity and position, including in the case of polygamy. Throughout history many have spoken of the various negative consequences economically, psychologically, and socially experienced by children and wives in polygamous families. But in general the narrative positions women as victims so that it does not provide a perspective of empowered women who have the power to manage their family conflicts by showing the quality of their leadership in the family and community. With content analysis, this paper examines women's biographical novels from two different religious and social backgrounds. With content analysis, this paper examines women's biographical novels from two different religious and social backgrounds. First, a collection of stories Menunggu Papa: Kisah Gadis Kecil yang Akhirnya Berdamai dengan Dirinya, which is a collection of inspiring stories based on the autobiography of Yanah Sucintani, which tells the inner journey of a child from a Chinese-Buddhist family whose father practices polygamy. Second, the novel titled Athirah by Alberthiene Endah, which is a biography of Jusuf Kalla, which tells the story of the mother's leadership in a polygamous family set in the Muslim-Bugis-Makassar society. This study has important meaning in encouraging a positive image of women as whole human beings, developing personally and contributing to society. This positive role needs to be raised more especially as a counter culture of women's representation in the world of entertainment and popular culture which widely accommodates the female stereotype. Both of these inspirational stories teach that indeed the financial independence of a polygamous mother is the initial way to be able to rule over herself and her children, but it requires persistent spirituality to be able to establish themselves as wives and mothers and lay the foundation of mentality for their children.
Views on Doping Within a Moral Relativist Framework
Authors: Alifieri Sofianna , Stelios Spyridon , Theologou Kostas
Published: May 2023

Doping continues to be a long-standing concern in professional sports. A first question that arises is whether doping falls within the athlete's freedom to do what they can to enhance their performance. After all there is non-equality in athletes’ physical state and drugs could be understood as another way of its enhancement in the same way that natural ways do that through training, lifting weights, etc. A second issue arising is whether or not is necessary to put limits on the research concerning these substances. So, two aspects of freedom are raised: (a) the freedom of the athlete, and (b) the freedom of the scientist. In this paper, these two sides are discussed on the basis of the theory of Moral Relativism. According to Moral Relativism the truth or justification of moral judgments is not absolute, but relative to the moral standard of a person or group. For (a) based on the theory, the athlete may consider that there is no absolute truth about doping, such as e.g., that it is wrong and not beneficial for sports, athletes, etc. The morally rightness of doping depends on the moral character of each athlete, the association or the country he/she represents. For b), a physician might argue that research in the field is not morally wrong. This is because it could potentially lead to cures for several diseases and even to the augmentation of human capabilities. Both questions are attempted to be answered through selected interview answers of athletes, trainers and physicians/pharmacologists.

Authors: Talli Ilaria , Padoan Andrea , Moz Stefania , Navaglia Filippo , Plebani Mario , Basso Daniela
Published: May 2023

Background: Molecular testing is considered the gold standard for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to compare the performance of the P742H SARS-CoV-2 Nucleic Acid Multiplex Detection Kit in salivary samples, with respect to the 732HF Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Nucleic Acid Detection Kit and the TaqPath COVID-19 CEIVD RT-PCR Kit, used at University-Hospital of Padova, Italy. Methods: One hundred twenty-four salivary samples selfcollected by healthcare workers (HCW) during the screening program at University-Hospital of Padova, Italy, from Oct to Nov 2022, were included in the study. RNA extraction was performed by Viral DNA and RNA Extraction Kit (Technogenetics, Lodi, Italy) and amplification by P742H and 732HF (Technogenetics, Lodi, Italy). RNA was extracted using MagNa Pure 96 DNA and Viral NA Small Volume Kit (Roche, Switzerland) for TaqPath analysis (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Results: 94 samples were positive at P742H, while 30 were negative; for 732HF, 96 samples were positive, while 28 were negative, with an overall agreement of 97.5% (Cohen's = 0.930, p < 0.001). TaqPath gave 95 positive samples, and 29 negative results, with an overall agreement of 100% (Cohen's = 1.0, p < 0.001) with respect to P742H, and 97.5% (Cohen's = 0.931, p < 0.001) with respect to 732HF. Comparing cycle threshold (Ct) between the P742H and 732HF, no statistically significant differences were found (p = n.s.). Conclusion: The P742H method proved better performances than 732HF for salivary samples, both presenting the same amplification time.

The scientific study presents the results concerning the influence of meteorological conditions on blue lupine crop productivity. The research substantiates the types and combinations of mineral macro- and microfertilizers providing for full realization of the biological potential of blue lupine (Lupineus angustifolius L.) under the conditions of global climatic changes. Field studies were conducted during the period of 2016-2019 on sod-mesopodzol sandy-loam soils. The average monthly temperature and the amount of precipitation during the growing season of blue lupine had some deviations from average long-term indices. During the research period the blue lupine plants were being formed under favourable temperatures, but were exposed to the negative effects of low water availability, that resulted in worth conditions for their growth and development as well as in lower grain yields. During a 3-year period of studies the crop yield was in a range of 0.98-2.54 t/ha depending on fertilization and weather conditions during the growing season. As follows from the results of correlation-regression analysis concerning the dependence of blue lupine grain yield on meteorological characteristics, it has been found that there is a correlation (close linear dependence) between weather conditions and grain yield. Herewith, a negative reaction of a sort Peremozhets to weather conditions deviations from average longstanding indices during the growing season has been registered.

Soil enzyme activities play key roles in the biochemical functioning of soils, nutrient cycling, and in the degradation of litter and artificial substances. Knowledge of soil enzyme activities can provide information on changes in soil quality due to land use management. In this study, we report the actual and potential dehydrogenase and catalase activities involved in intracellular metabolism and phosphatases (phosphomonoesterases) activities involved in phosphorus metabolism under different croplands. Soil was sampled from the 0-10-, 10-20- and 20-30-cm depths from typical clay soil at Livada (Satu Mare County), and from typical chernozem and histosol at Berveni (Satu Mare County). Significant and unsignificant differences were registered in the soil enzymatic activities depending on the kind of enzymatic activity and the type of soil. All enzymatic activities studied were greater in typical chernozem compared to the typical clay soil and histosol. Based on the absolute values of the enzymatic activities, the enzymatic indicator of soil quality (EISQ) was calculated. The EISQ values ranged between 0.605 and 0.989 indicating an appreciable intensity of the enzymatic activities. These values mean that by determination of soil enzyme activities valuable information can be obtained regarding fertility status of soils. The enzyme activities were significantly intercorrelated with r values from 0.814 to 0.989 (p<0.05). A perfect positive correlation between enzymatic indicator of soil quality and grain yield was establish.

Published: May 2023

Spiders are dominant predators in agroecosystems. Terrestrial semi-natural habitats, such as different field margins, can enhance the abundance and diversity of spiders in adjoining fields. We compared the effect of a mixture of flowering plants and an adjacent maize crop for ground-dwelling spiders (Arachnida: Araneae). It was assumed that occurrence of these beneficial arthropods will benefit from the adjacent strip of mixed plants. They were collected by using pitfall traps in a two-year study carried out in Poland during whole growing seasons. The species similarity between the two studied treatments was low, which was indicated with the redundancy analysis (RDA). Furthermore, the species richness and overall abundance of spiders were significantly higher in the mixture of flowering plants than in the adjacent maize field, therefore we assumed that this kind of habitat diversification might increase their role in biological pest control.

A field experiment was conducted during 2015-2019 years at the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute Fundulea, Romania, to investigate the effect of different nitrogen and phosphorus sources on growth, yield and quality of maize (Zea mays L.). This research is carried out in long term experiments (over 45 years) under unirrigated conditions. Fertilization, like the basic technological link, ensures a constant flow of nutrients to the crop plant, but the efficiency of applying organic fertilizers is strongly influenced by extreme variations of the climatic conditions. The results showed also that the final maize yields and yield increases were conditioned and limited by specific traits, especially using of mineral and organic fertilizing.

The maize is an important crop, affected by many of the weeds that, fortunately can be effectively controlled by specific herbicide applications. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the selectivity and the efficacy of five herbicides applied in different stage: pre-emergence (BBCH 00-09), early post-emergence (stage of development for maize crop 2-4 leaves; stage of development of weeds 1-3 leaves) and post-emergence (stage of development for the maize crop 4-6 leaves and stage of development for mono weeds BBCH 11-14 and dicotyledons weeds - BBCH 11-15) for the control of the annual and perennial monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds from the maize crop. The paper present the results obtained for the herbicide treatments: Dual Gold (s-metalaclor); Adengo (isoxaflutol 225 g/l + tiencarbazon-metil 90 g/l + ciprosulfamide (safener) 150 g/l; Adengo [isoxaflutol 225 g/l + tiencarbazon-metil 90 g/l + ciprosulfamide (safener) clopiralid] + Lontrel (300 g/l clopyralid); Nicogan 40 (40 g/l nicosulfuron ) + Lontrel (300 g/l clopyralid) + Tomigan (250 g/l fluroxipir). The study was performed in the experimental fields on cambic chernozem soil of the National Agriculture Research and Development Institute from Fundulea in the years 2015-2017.

After 1980, drought became a cyclic phenomenon that has spread over subtropics and mid-latitudes ecosystems and society. Agriculture and domestic or industrial water supply are the fields that received the most severe damage. Climate change in terms of water supply was expressed through UNESCO 1979 Aridity Index, which identified critical areas and periods affected by drought in north-eastern Romania. The most vulnerable areas, where the annual rainfall amount is usually less than 500 mm/year, are the most prone to severe droughts. However, as a result of the extension of built surfaces, the urban areas of the region are very affected by drought. For agricultural management, as well as for general water supply, the aridity in north-eastern Romania needs to be investigated at seasonal and monthly scales, using also other indices. Northeastern Romania is a region rich in surface water resources: the annual discharge volumes of Prut River and its tributaries reached 1.917 billion m3 in the year 2017. In the, the demand for industrial water supply has diminished, while the big demands came from fish farms. Two billion m3 from Prut River in its main tributary, Jijia were transferred, for water supply of the Ciobarciu wetland in 2017.

The climate change that we are facing today has negative consequences on our ecosystems, especially by increasing the number and intensity of extreme weather events, as heavy rains, hail, drought, and other such weather phenomena. One of the most effective measures to fight against drought is the establishment of shelterbelts to protect agricultural land. These have proved to be necessary especially in plain areas prone to drought, wind erosion, desertification, etc. At national level, 7.5 million hectares should be protected by shelterbelts, of which on 3.4 million hectares measures should be undertaken immediately. In 2014 the Romanian Academy decided to provide a model for landowners and farmers, by establishing a network of shelterbelts exceeding 120 km, covering an area of over 178 ha. In the period 2017-2020, shelterbelts were established in four different areas, of which we analyze here only two, namely Perișoru, on a typical chernozem and Grădiștea, on a calcaric fluvisol, in the meadow area, both locations in Călăraşi County. The planting schemes were identical, respectively 2 x 1 m, resulting in 5000 seedlings/ha. Two distinct compositions were used, a simple one of Ulmus pumila and Gleditsia triacanthos and a more complex one of Quercus pedunculiflora, Prunus cerasifera, Fraxinus ornus, Acer tataricum, Pyrus pyraster and Prunus mahaleb. The technology used for planting and maintenance is considered a premiere in Romania, due to high mechanization works, that lead to high quality, low impact and low-cost works. The growth characteristics were compared, for both sites and compositions, providing information that can be further exploited inside the organic or sustainable production systems by farmers. By using a method developed within 28PCCDI UEFISCDI financed project, aiming at evaluating the influence of new agro-bio technologies on the agroecosystem at soil level, further insights on shelterbelt benefits are expected in the future.
