COMPARATIVE AMPELOGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION OF VINE CULTIVARS FOR LIQUEUR WINES
Authors:   Agricultural University, Keranova N. , Roychev V. ,   Agricultural University
Published: December 2024

A comparative ampelographic characterization of vine cultivars for the production of liqueur wines has been carried out by applying cluster, factor and correlation analyses. It has been found that they are medium - late ripening, with a high productivity coefficient, average yield per vine, and higher yield per decare. According to the indicators of the mechanical and chemical analyses of bunch and berry, the cultivars are grouped into three clusters, and the greatest influence in terms of their differentiation is exerted by the percentage of skin, seeds, mesocarp, average weight of 100 berries, berry length and width, and theoretical yield. Depending on their productivity, two clusters are formed, mainly determined by the average yield per decare. According to the technological indicators of the obtained dry wines, the cultivars form two main clusters, and the first factor includes the indicators sugars, sugar-free extract, titratable acids and volatile acids. The presence of strong, sta-tistically proven relations between the studied ampelographic indicators is a prerequisite for the application of regression analysis and de-termines the research significance of the uti-lized mathematical models.

The use of vegetation indices for satellite monitoring of vineyards allows for the rapid acquisition of information on the condition and development of plants. The significant areas of vineyards, combined with the soil-topographic heterogeneity of the terrain, create numerous diverse microzones where growing conditions can vary greatly. The ar-ticle focuses on methods for assessing vi-neyard conditions using spectral analysis and vegetation indices, particularly NDVI, which enable the rapid identification of agronomic, ecological, and microclimatic differences within small plots. The primary focus is on the methodology for creating digital soil cover maps and monitoring the phenological phases of grapevine development based on data from the Sentinel-2 satellite platform and geographic information systems. The study analyzed the phenophases of the 2023 growing season using a 24,3-hectare ampelocenosis in the Anapa district as an example. The results showed significant variability in NDVI values in different phenological phases and on various soil plots. The article also considers the influence of weather and soil conditions on the growth and development of grapevines, emphasizing the importance of climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation. The conducted research confirms that remote monitoring and the use of vegetation indices are effective tools for mapping and assessing the condition of vineyards, which improves agronomic processes and vineyard management.

This research assessed the technological pedagogical knowledge and early childhood development of LSENs among SPED teachers at the identified SPED centers in Cebu City and Talisay City Division for the school year 2022-2023 as the basis for pedagogical skills enhancement plans. It aims to establish a foundation for enhancing pedagogical capabilities. Employing quantitative techniques, this study analyzed the responses of 106 respondents, which include teachers and parents, using the frequency, weighted mean, chi-square, and t-test for the statistical analysis. Findings revealed that parent-respondent profiles showed that most respondents were female, 35-44 years old, high school graduates, had 1-2 and 3-4 children, and had a combined family monthly income of 10,000 and below. Results found that each parent and teacher respondent perceived LSENs' mastery level in early childhood improvement as Near Mastery and instructors' technological pedagogical information became classified as Knowledgeable. Notably, there is no significant difference between the parents' and teachers' perceptions of LSENs' mastery. This observation points to the need for teachers to strengthen their technological and teaching skills to support young children's unique needs better. It emphasizes how important it is to provide SPED teachers with opportunities to enhance their ICT skills to help children with special educational needs (LSENs) learn and grow more effectively.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the attitudes of Special Education (SPED) teachers towards the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching, as well as their self-esteem levels. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from 23 SPED teachers in the North District of Cebu City. The study utilized a quantitative approach, employing a survey adapted from previous research to measure attitudes toward technology and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to assess self-esteem. Results indicate that most respondents are young female teachers, with the majority holding a Master’s degree and having 0-8 years of teaching experience. The overall attitude towards ICT integration is positive, with high ratings for the effectiveness of technology in enhancing teaching and learning. However, some respondents expressed moderate comfort levels with using ICT tools in the classroom. Regression analysis showed that age, educational attainment, and years of teaching experience do not significantly predict teachers' attitudes towards technology integration. Self-esteem levels were generally high among the respondents, although some reported occasional feelings of inadequacy. These findings suggest that while teachers recognize the benefits of ICT, additional factors, beyond demographics, may influence their attitudes towards technology use in education.

Published: December 2024

Cesarean section is the commonest obstetric operative procedure worldwide. The incidence of cesarean section rate has been continuously increasing both in developed and developing world. A cesarean section poses some documented risks to the mother’s health in subsequent pregnancies. It is also associated with increased likelihood of preterm delivery, low birth weight and perinatal death.
Objectives : The study was conducted to determine the incidence of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in women with history of one or more previous caesarean section and to study the incidence of and type of surgical difficulties encountered in repeat cesarean sections.
Methods : This prospective observational study was done in the department of Obstetrics &Gynaecology Dhaka National Medical Institute Hospital (DNMIH), Dhaka during the period from November 2008 to October 2009.A total number of 273 pregnant patients admitted with history of one or more cesarean sections were included in this study.
Results : Out of the 1063 caesarean sections that were done during the study period 273 (25.68%) were repeat sections. Mean age of the study population was 27.2 years. Here 79.49% & 18.32% cases had history of previous one and two cesarean sections respectively. Important antepartum complications were chronic abdominal pain (16.49%), scar tenderness (6.6%), placenta praevia (1.47%), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) 1.47%, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) 7.7%, malpresentation (3.67%) etc. Emergency cesarean section was needed in 37.37% of cases. Blood transfusion required in 4.76% of cases. Extensive peritoneal adhesions with uterus and posterior surface of the anterior abdominal wall were found in 8.43% cases and bladder was adherent in 11.76% cases. In 5.88% cases take over of surgical procedure by senior obstetrician was necessary. Postoperative period was uneventful in 87.17% cases. Neonatal complications like prematurity, low birth weight, birth asphyxia and neonatal jaundice were developed in 21.62% of cases. Rate of perinatal mortality was 0.37%.
Conclusions:Maternal and neonatal morbidity in repeated cesarean sections were low. Parietal wall and intra-peritoneal adhesions make repeat cesarean section a difficult procedure. It is prudent to involve a seniorexperienced obstetrician in the surgical procedure of repeat cesarean section.

Published: December 2024

Background : The femur is the strongest and longest bone of the human body which extends from the pelvis to the knee. It is the weight bearing typical long bone. The nutrient foramina are cavities that conduct the nutrient arteries. The majority blood supply for femur originates from the nutrient arteries, mainly during the growing period and during the early phase of ossification1. In bone grafts the nutrient blood supply is crucial and it should be preserved in order to promote the healing.
Objective : The anatomy and number of nutrient foramen of femur is very essential for orthopedic & vascular surgeons as well as to radiologist for planning of treatment. This data could be useful as reference for surgical procedures of the lower limb.
Material & Methods : This is a purposive sampling type of study carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Dhaka from July 2011 to June 2012. The study comprised 199 fully ossified left sided dry femur (n=89 male, n=110 female). The bones were collected from the Department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College Dhaka. Morphometric study of nutrient foramen was carried out on all samples by direct physical and photographic methods.
Result : The  nutrient foramen were observed single in number in 84.36% male  and 76.67% female samples, double in number in 13.28% male  and  21.33% female samples and triple in number in 2.36% male and 2% female samples of left  femur  respectively.

Published: December 2024

Over weight technically refers to an excess of body weight. where as obesity refer to an excess of fat. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the accepted standered measure of overweight and obesity BMI provides a guideline for weight in relation to height and is equal to the body weight divided by the height in meters squared. Adults with a BMI between 25 and 30 are considered  overweight, those with a BMI of 30 are considerd to be obse. In adults, a BMI threshed of 40 kg/m2, distinguishes individuals with severe obesity and the high risks for co-morbidities. This category is sometimes termed as "Class 111 obesity" or "Super obesity" or "Morbid obesity". The term Morbid obesity is sometimes used to identify individuals with obesity related co-morbidities. The likelihood of persistence of childhood obesity into adulthood is related to age, parental obesity, and severity of obesity. In longitudinal studies, approximately those 50% of obese 6 years old children, and 80% of obese 10 to 14 years old children. who had an obese parent. Girls are more prone than boys to develop persistent obesity during adolescence. This is related to changes in body composition that occur at puberty, when body fat decreases in boys and increases in girls.

Authors: Priyono Sasongko Hadi , Effendy Effendy
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Breast lymphoma (BL) is an uncommon type of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Breast lymphoma is challenging to diagnose as its findings are not very specific and usually hard to differentiate from other breast carcinoma. There are no current authorized therapeutic guidelines to date because of the case rarity. In this report, we present a case of detected primary breast lymphoma in a 28-years woman which treated with systemic six cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine (Oncovin), prednisone) chemotherapy, the response remained satisfying until the end of the cycle and no complications were reported.Case Presentation: A 28-year-old woman who had primary breast lymphoma, was treated and had a positive recovery. Clinical examination showed a hard, mobile, erythematous, ulcerating, necrotizing mass in the left breast, approximately 35 cm in the largest dimension. Mammae ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass located on the outer upper quadrant presumed malignant (BI-RADS 5). A core biopsy was performed, and an immunohistochemistry test revealed the CD45, CD20, and Ki-67 expression were positive, which finally diagnosed the case as a high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomaResults: The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy with six cycles of the R-CHOP protocol, which included administration of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, rituximab, and prednisone. The patient response remained satisfying until the end of the cycle and no complications were reported.

Published: December 2024

Background: Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common form of breast cancer worldwide and has a high mortality rate. The main component of the innate immune system in the tumor environment is the tumor-associated macrophage (TAM). Certain types of TAM are known to affect tumor size and lymph node metastasis which makes the cancer prognosis worse. Currently, TAM identification is generally identified using immunohistochemical staining techniques that require high costs and special expertise. An easy and inexpensive TAM identification technique is needed in determining breast cancer prognostic factors. This study focused on TAM density and its role in tumor size and lymph node metastases of invasive ductal carcinoma patients.Methods: This research is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted by observing the Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) preparation of invasive ductal carcinoma patients. This study used 55 medical record data and histopathology laboratory reports of invasive ductal carcinoma patients at Dr. Soedarso General Hospital Pathological Anatomy Laboratory. TAM density cut-off is measured by calculating the median data of TAM density. Research analysis was performed using Spearman’s rho correlation test in SPSS version 24.Results: The cut-off value for determining TAM density obtained from observations based on the average value was 29. The highest number of tumor size groups was T4, and the highest number of lymph node metastases was N2. TAM density was significantly not correlated to tumor size (p = 0.285, p 0.05) and lymph node metastases (p = 0.479, p 0.05) Conclusions: This study found no significant correlation between TAM density, assessed through a cost-effective method using HE staining, and tumor size or lymph node metastasis in invasive ductal carcinoma patients.

Authors: Makbul Firshan , Ahani Ardhi Rahman
Published: December 2024

Background: Valproic acid (VPA) has gained attention as an anticonvulsant drug with potential anti-cancer effects, including in thyroid cancer. It hampers the viability of cancer cells by blocking their cell cycle progression, specifically in the G1 or sub-G1 phases. However, the clinical role of VPA as an adjuvant agent, in addition to the thyroid cancer primary treatment, remains an area of investigation.Methods: We conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review from the first publication available to July 2021. We comprised clinical trials and preclinical investigations that explored VPA’s underlying mechanisms and treatment strategies in thyroid cancer.Results: Fifteen eligible studies were included. Thirteen preclinical studies revealed that VPA significantly enhances therapeutic responses across various histological subtypes of thyroid cancer cells. Regarding clinical implications, recent clinical studies indicated no significant effect on tumor response or overall survival.Conclusions: Our findings highlight the key role of VPA as an alternative therapeutic strategy for thyroid cancer, considering its favorable impact on various histological subtypes. Further welldesigned studies in clinical settings are required to identify the knowledge gap regarding its use in other multimodal treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy.

Background: Pediatric sarcoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors and accounts for approximately 10% of childhood solid tumors. The most common soft tissue sarcoma is rhabdomyosarcoma, and the most common bone sarcomas are osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. The prognosis for children with sarcoma depends on age, primary tumor site, tumor size, resectability, presence or absence of metastases, number of metastatic sites, presence or absence of regional lymph node involvement, histopathologic subtype, and in some cases, delivery of radiation therapy. This study aims to evaluate clinical signs, symptoms, and survival rates.Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of clinical data from sarcoma patients in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital to provide a reference for the design of future pediatric sarcomaspecific studies. Data from patients with sarcoma entered in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital from 2012 until 2017 was collected. Patients who had confirmed pediatric sarcoma diagnosis were eligible for samples at study entry. Clinical manifestations were assessed, and overall survival was calculated with Kaplan-Meier.Results: Among 400 patients coding with pediatric sarcoma, 154 were excluded because their medical records were broken and deleted, and 82 because the coding was not related to their diagnosis (non-pediatric sarcoma). Sixty patients were eligible for the analysis (28 men and 32 women, median age at diagnosis 13 years, range 0–18 years). Fifteen patients (25%) received chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery as a treatment, 16 patients (26.67%) received chemotherapy and surgery only, five patients (8.33%) received chemotherapy only, five patients (8.33%) received chemotherapy and radiation only, one patient (1.67%), and ten patients (16.67%) received surgery only. The most common primary tumor was located in the lower extremity (n = 29; 48.33%). At entry, metastases were mainly found in the lungs. The overall survival rate of pediatric sarcoma in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital was 19% or 88 months (95% CI median 48 months ± 4.658).Conclusions: This study revealed a diverse range of clinical presentations and a concerningly low overall survival rate. These findings highlight the need for further research to improve treatment strategies and outcomes for pediatric sarcoma, particularly focusing on factors influencing survival and addressing the high rate of metastatic disease.
Parathyroid Adenoma with Fibrous Dysplasia of Maxilla and Mandible in a Patient with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on Routine Hemodialysis: A Case Report
Authors: Lumban Tobing Richard Sumihar Hasudungan , Azhar Yohana

Introduction: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) can cause secondary hyperparathyroidism, resulting in parathyroid hyperplasia. In parathyroid hyperplasia, monoclonal development can occur, resulting in nodular hyperplasia. This nodular hyperplasia was thought to develop into a carcinoma, but its development into a benign neoplasm is very rare. This case report presents a parathyroid adenoma that developed in a patient with endstage renal failure who required routine hemodialysis. Case Presentation: A 31yearold woman presented with complaints of facial bone swelling, shortened body, and a previous history of renal failure with hemodialysis therapy since 4 years ago. From the blood test, a hyperparathyroid condition was found, and a history of hypocalcemia. A sestamibi (MIBI) examination has also been done with the results of bilateral inferior parathyroid adenomas. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral inferior parathyroid adenoma with endstage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis and bilateral inferior parathyroidectomy was performed on the patient. The patient’s progress was followed from diagnosis, surgery, and followup after surgery. At 4 months postoperatively, the suspicion of a mass in the residual parathyroid was confirmed by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and MIBI examination. The patient was suspected to have parathyroid hyperplasia in the remaining gland, with risk factors for hyperparathyroidism due to ESRD. Conclusions: ESRDinduced secondary hyperparathyroidism may lead to enlargement of all parathyroid glands which may develop into nodules. Therefore, careful monitoring and diagnostics supported by hospital policy is required and removal of all parathyroid glands is considered in such patients, even if not all parathyroid glands have masses.

Background: Breast cancer is a disease caused by cancer cells in breast tissue. The most frequently found is locally advanced. The locally advanced stage refers to stages IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC. Neoadjuvant is the treatment for locally advanced. The Taxane, Anthracycline, and Cyclophosphamide (TAC) is a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen that can cause nausea and vomiting resulting in decreased appetite and lack of nutritional intake in patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between neoadjuvant TAC chemotherapy and nutritional status based on measurements of BMI and albumin in breast cancer patients at Bahteramas Kendari Hospital.Method: This study was conducted with a retrospective cross-sectional design. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling using 41 medical records of breast cancer patients from the years 2023 to 2024 in Bahteramas Kendari Hospital.Result: There were significant changes in the nutritional status of patients who received neoadjuvant TAC chemotherapy. Before chemotherapy, the patient’s BMI was found to be in the normal category of 34.1% and decreased to 31.7% after chemotherapy. Likewise, patients with obesity were 34.1% before chemotherapy and changed to 19.5% after chemotherapy. Furthermore, there were significant changes in the patient’s albumin levels. Before chemotherapy, 38 patients had normal albumin levels (92.7%), whereas after chemotherapy only 24 patients had normal albumin levels (58.5%).Conclusion: There was a relationship between TAC neoadjuvant chemotherapy and nutritional status based on BMI and Albumin measurements before and after chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
Heretik Sayılan Kiliselere Yapay Zekanın Bakış Açısı

Published: December 2024

Hıristiyanlık tarihi aslında heretiklik tarihi olarak okunabilecek bir arka plana sahiptir. Zira günümüzdeki Hıristiyanlık, birçok çatışma ve ayrışmadan sonra galip gelen söylemin yansıması olarak var olagelmiştir. Daha ilk çıkışında Yahudi-Hıristiyanlığı ile Gentile Hıristiyanlığı karşı karşıya gelmiş ve bu süreçten Pavlus’un önderliğini yaptığı Gentile Hıristiyanlığı öne çıkmıştır. Ardından İsa’nın doğası ile ilgili Kristolojik problemlerle boğuşan kilise, bir taraftan Aryüsçü öte yandan Athanasiusçu söylemin arasında kalmış ve İznik Konsili’nde Roma İmparatorunun desteğini alan Athanasiusçuluk kabul görürken Aryüs ve görüşleri heretik ilan edilmiştir. Orta Çağ’da Katolik Kilisesi iyice güçlenip tekel oluşturmaya başlayınca kiliseye yönelik her türlü itiraz, heretiklik başlığı altında değerlendirilmeye başlanmıştır. Yine Martin Luther’in çıkışı ve çok fazla dünyevileştiğini belirttiği Katolik Kilisesine yönelik eleştirileri de hemen heretiklik şeklinde tanımlanıp ciddi takibatlara uğramıştır. Ancak zamanla Protestan kiliseler gelişip belli bir güce ulaşınca artık bunlar ‘ana bünyeyi’ oluşturan kiliseler arasında gösterilmeye başlanmıştır. Dolayısıyla Hıristiyanlık tarihinde heretiklik tanımı ucu açık bir terim olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu makale bazında işte böylesi bir genişlikte değerlendirilen heretikliğe dair, yapay zeka uygulamaları olan ChatGPT ve Gemini’nin nasıl bir tasnif ve açıklama getirdiğine ışık tutmaya odaklandık.
