Trypanosomiasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Trypanosoma sp., a protozoan parasite that has a flagellum. It has the potential to cause emerging diseases. Generally, Trypanosoma infection is caused by T. evansi which causes Surra disease, and T. cruzi which causes Chagas disease. Trypanosoma lewisi has been considered a natural protozoan in mice, not pathogenic to humans but in recent years it has been reported in humans. This study aims to detect Trypanosoma in rats in Banjarnegara District and analyze the potential impact on public health. The research was observational with a descriptive approach, conducted in Banjarnegara from July-December 2020. Samples were taken by purposive sampling. Samples are rat’s blood that caught on wild rats survey in the main market of Banjarnegara District. Blood samples were made with a thin smear then they were stained with Giemsa and examined by microscope. There were 157 rats caught, consisting of 131 Rattus norvegicus and 26 R. tanezumi. Totally, 28 rats were positive Trypanosoma lewisi, so Trypanosoma infection in rats in Banjarnegara District is 16,57%. Trypanosomiasis in R. norvegicus was 18.3% and R. tanezumi 15.38%. Therefore, there is a need to increase the awareness of these diseases’s transmission to humans.

The study sought to reveal and analyze the causes for the lack of advancement of black talent in Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE)-listed companies, including how they can be dealt with. The research further examined the impact of leadership development on the acceleration of black talent at executive levels within the JSE-listed companies in South Africa. A qualitative research approach was employed. This was an exploratory study. This paradigm was considered suitable in attempting to understand the problem situation. The study used purposive, non-probability sampling. The data were obtained from 16 semi-structured interviews conducted with different business leaders employed by or who served on the board of directors of a JSE-listed company. The respondents included board chairpersons, chief executives, executives, and human resources (HR) practitioners of different companies. Leadership development will require a transformational approach from leaders who need to sponsor such outcomes (Daft, 2018). The leadership development initiatives that the study recommends include the conversion of non-executives to executives, career sponsorships, stretch assignments and rotations, and executive assistant initiatives. The study outcomes provide practical guidance to companies for accelerating black talent to executive levels in JSE-listed companies by using the recommended leadership development initiatives

Gospodarstwa agroturystyczne jako punkty informacji turystycznej na obszarach wiejskich w Polsce
Authors: Sammel Anna
Published: August 2022

Turystyka jest od wielu lat dynamicznie rozwijającą się gałęzią światowej gospodarki. W Polsce, mimo spadku liczby turystów zagranicznych przyjeżdżających do naszego kraju, ruch turystyczny jest znaczącym zjawiskiem ekonomicznym i wpływa na wzrost gospodarczy wielu regionów. Ważnym elementem zagospodarowania turystyczno-rekreacyjnego są punkty informacji. Jako samodzielne podmioty funkcjonują głównie w miastach. Na obszarach wiejskich działają rzadko i mają swoje siedziby np. w obiektach należących do parków narodowych, stowarzyszeń, w sklepach lub w urzędach gmin. Z powodu wzrastającego zainteresowania tego rodzaju przestrzenią wypoczynkowo-rekreacyjną należałoby zwiększyć liczbę dostępnych w jej obrębie punktów informacji, wykorzystując m.in. funkcjonujące na danym terenie obiekty świadczące usługi turystyczne. Z tego też względu celem publikacji jest próba określenia znaczenia gospodarstw agroturystycznych jako potencjalnych punktów informacji na obszarach wiejskich w Polsce.

Authors: Trajer Marzena , Trajer Maja
Published: August 2022

Po przystąpieniu Polski do Unii Europejskiej organizacje branżowe, które były reprezentatywne dla danej branży rolnej, mogły ubiegać się o współfinansowanie kampanii promocyjno-informacyjnych w ramach unijnego mechanizmu „Wsparcie działań promocyjnych i informacyjnych na rynkach wybranych produktów rolnych”. Celem dofinansowania było m.in. zwiększenie popytu na określone wspólnotowe artykuły żywnościowe i uświadomienie konsumentom, że produkty te gwarantują wysoką jakość. Promocja produktów rolnych możliwa była zarówno na wewnętrznym rynku unijnym, jak i na rynkach poza UE. W artykule przybliżono kampanie realizowane na rynku mięsa. Komisja Europejska do końca 2014 roku przyznała organizacjom branżowym w Polsce, realizującym kampanie na rynku mięsa, 33,6 mln euro. Działania w ramach kampanii obejmowały m.in.: public relations, udział w targach, a także produkcję i emisję reklam telewizyjnych.
Obszary wiejskie i ich funkcja turystyczna a przynależność Polski do Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Wojciechowska Jolanta
Published: August 2022

Artykuł jest pracą przeglądową, prezentującą syntezę spojrzeń przedstawicieli różnych dziedzin naukowych na zmiany dokonujące się na obszarach wiejskich Polski głównie w ciągu ostatniego dziesięciolecia, a więc w czasie przynależności kraju do Unii Europejskiej. W pracy najpierw przedstawiono w świetle polskiej i zagranicznej literatury kwestię niejednoznacznego definiowania obszaru wiejskiego oraz wynikające z tego mocno zróżnicowane dystynktywne jego cechy. Następnie przeanalizowano zmiany społeczno-gospodarcze zachodzące na obszarach wiejskich Polski, ujęte w czterech wielkich procesach, takich jak: deruralizacja, dezagraryzacja, dualizacja rolnictwa i restratyfikacja wsi. Prześledzono czynniki różnicujące funkcje turystyczne obszarów wiejskich w skali kraju i regionów. Podkreślono, że waga i oddziaływanie tych czynników jest różne, a w wielu przypadkach związane nie tylko z przynależnością do Unii Europejskiej, ale także z globalizacją, które razem przyczyniają się do upowszechniania pragnień mieszkańców wsi i ujednolicania preferencji wypoczynkowych turystów.

Published: August 2022

A pandemia causada pelo coronavírus (Covid-19) representou um desafio à saúde física e emocional para adolescentes submetidos a quase dois anos de isolamento social, restritos ao convívio familiar e impedidos de estarem na escola. O presente artigo apresenta dados da pandemia associados ao sofrimento emocional entre adolescentes e o impacto da convivência escolar restrita neste período. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter descritivo, cujo objetivo foi identificar a frequência de situações em que há indícios de sofrimento emocional em adolescentes e comparar os escores encontrados entre questões demográficas de perfil (raça, gênero e celular). Participaram da amostra 1.991 adolescentes, estudantes de duas diretorias da rede de ensino público estadual paulista. O instrumento de investigação foi construído a partir de ampla revisão de literatura em forma de questionário com perguntas fechadas, dividido em duas partes: a primeira, contendo 13 perguntas sobre o perfil do estudante e, a segunda, com 21 questões, sobre indícios de sofrimento emocional. A partir da análise quantitativa, os resultados encontrados destacam maior escore de sofrimento emocional entre meninas adolescentes e estudantes pretos e apontam para a urgência de ações que proporcionem o bem-estar e a aprendizagem de formas assertivas de resolução de conflito, bem como a urgência de espaços de manifestação de sentimentos pelos estudantes.

Authors: Moreno Ricardo , Ramos Núbia
Published: August 2022

It points out that the 4th Federal Court, in Curitiba, acted as a court of exception from a series of practices that hurt the national constitution and due process of law, and which interfered with the normality of the political process. As examples, he analyzes the process of monthly, the impeachment of President Dilma and Lava Jato’s actions, which culminated in Lula’s arrest and paved the way to Bolsonaro’s election. It is concluded that part of the Brazilian judiciary acted as a political agent using the law as a weapon.

Infrastructure and economic growth: Evidence from the United States
Authors: Fosu Prince , Ankrah Twumasi Martinson
Published: August 2022

Developing countries have witnessed a rise in infrastructure spending over the past decades; however, infrastructure spending in most developed countries, particularly the US, continues to decline. As a result, in 2021, the US Congress passed a Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, which invests $1 trillion in the country’s infrastructure every year. Using the principal component analysis and VAR estimation, we analyzed the impact of infrastructure (transportation and water, railway networks, aviation, energy, and fixed telephone lines) on economic growth in the US. Our findings show that infrastructure spending positively and significantly impacted economic growth. Additionally, the impulse response analysis shows that shocks to infrastructure spending had positive and persistent effects on economic growth. Our results suggest that infrastructure investment spurs economic growth. Based on our findings, sustained public spending on transport and water, railway networks, aviation, energy, and fixed telephone lines infrastructure by the US government will positively impact economic growth in the country. The study also suggests that policies that promote infrastructure spending, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) passed by the US Congress, should be enhanced to boost economic growth in the US.
Benefits of practice ownership among US private practice veterinarians extend to professional quality of life
Authors: Ouedraogo Frederic B. , Lefebvre Sandra L.
Published: August 2022

Objective

To estimate the effects of practice ownership on wellbeing of US private practice veterinarians.

Sample

1,217 practice owners and 1,414 associate veterinarians (ie, nonowners) who participated in the 2021 AVMA Census of Veterinarians and Practice Owners Survey.

Procedures

A professional quality of life instrument was used to measure compassion satisfaction (CS; a positive attribute), burnout (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS) in practice owners and nonowners both as scores and as score categories (low, moderate, and high CS, BO, and STS). For hypothesis tests, propensity score matching was used, with owners (n = 595) matched to nonowners (595) on several demographic and employment factors.

Results

Owners had significantly (P < .001) higher CS scores (mean ± SE, 34.1 ± 0.3) and lower BO scores (26.1 ± 0.3) than nonowners (32.8 ± 0.3 and 26.9 ± 0.3, respectively), but STS scores were comparable between groups (27.4 ± 0.3 and 27.5 ± 0.3; P = .55). The prevalence of low CS scores and high BO scores was significantly (P < .001) higher for nonowners versus owners (53.8% vs 42.7% and 51.6% vs 46.4%, respectively). Both owners and nonowners had a high prevalence of high STS scores (81.8% and 83.2%, respectively; P = .53).

Clinical Relevance

Results suggested that practice ownership confers a benefit to private practice veterinarians in terms of CS and BO, but not STS. The prevalence of poor CS, BO, and STS scores was higher than reported previously for 2016 to 2018, suggesting an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The high prevalence of high STS scores in both groups warrants attention and action to protect the welfare of the veterinary workforce and support optimal patient care.
The impact of COVID-19 on the gender division of housework and childcare: Evidence from two waves of the pandemic in Italy
Authors: Boca Daniela del , Oggero Noemi , Profeta Paola , Rossi Maria Cristina
Published: August 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on families’ lives because of the increased demands of housework and childcare. Much of the additional burden has been shouldered by women. Yet, the rise in remote working also has the potential to increase paternal involvement in family life and thus to reduce gender role inequalities. This effect depends on the working arrangements of each partner, whether working remotely, at their usual workplace, or ceasing work altogether. Using two waves of an ad-hoc survey conducted in April and November 2020, we show that the time spent by women in domestic activities did not depend on their partners’ working arrangements. Conversely, men spent fewer hours helping with housework and home schooling when their partners were at home. Although men who worked remotely or did not work at all devoted more time to household activities during the second wave of COVID-19, the increased time they spent at home did not seem to lead to a reallocation of couples’ time.

Cardiovascular response to whole-body cold exposure in humans with different initial autonomic tone
Authors: Demin D. B.
Published: August 2022

Relevance. Cold exposure increases sympathetic activity and blood pressure. It can also promote intensification of hypertension symptoms and its progress in winter. However, the mechanisms of this phenomenon are poorly understood.Intention: To determine the dynamics of cardiovascular parameters in young people with different initial autonomic regulation of heart rate during experimental general cold exposure.Methodology. 30 healthy male volunteers aged 18–20 years were examined. In accordance with the initial type of autonomic regulation of the heart rate, all subjects were divided into 3 groups as follows: predominance of vagotonia (Group I, n = 9), optimal autonomic regulation – normotonia (Group II, n = 14), predominance of sympathicotonia (Group III, n = 7). The experiment included three stages: rest at a temperature (+20 0C); exposure to cold (–20 0C) for 10 minutes; warming the body (+20 0C). The heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded during each stage of the study using a portable complex “Varicard 2.8” (Russia). At the same time, blood pressure and temperature in the ear canal were recorded.Results and Discussion. Moderate short-term general air cooling causes generally the same type of temporary reactions of central hemodynamics (increase in blood pressure) and indicators of the total HRV power with an increase in parasympathetic activity. Baseline and dynamic values of heart rate and stress index in Group III were significantly higher than in Groups I and II. During body cooling, the stress index in individuals from Group III was 4 times lower, and in individuals from Group I was 1.5 times lower than before cooling. In Group I, baroreflex was less pronounced (slightly decreased heart rate and HRV) along with a significant increase in blood pressure, thus suggesting a high risk of cold-associated vessel injuries. In Groups II and III, a baroreflex was maintained (significant decrease in heart rate and SI) in response to an increase in blood pressure.Conclusion. Apparently, an increase in blood pressure during moderate exposure to cold does not disturb the protective mechanisms of the cardiovascular system in healthy residents of the North with normotonia and predomination of sympathicotonia. At the same time, a week baroreflex in Northerners with vagotonia can be considered at risk for developing cold arterial hypertension.

OBJECTIVE: the aim of this article is to describe the main sleep disturbances in the paediatric age group, as well as the diagnostic criteria and management for the paediatrician. METHODS: a non-systematic review of the current literature was made, based on the most recent international classification. RESULTS: sleep disturbances are common in the paediatric age group, and can lead to a series of behavioural, social, and cognitive diurnal consequences. A sleep-directed interview is essential for suspicion and, frequently, sufficient for the diagnosis. The management is dependent on the diagnosis, as well as the severity of symptoms. CONCLUSION: the paediatrician plays an important role in the detection of sleep disturbances. Awareness of such conditions is essential for diagnosis and early management.

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative anaerobic bacteria which is an oral normal microflora located in subgingival area.This bacteria can cause inflamation and delayed wound healing after dental invasive procedures. Lidocaine 2% and articaine 4% are the most used anaesthetic agents in dentistry. Both of these agents have been studied for having antibacterial effect in certain concentrations. This will open the possibility of using local anaesthetic agents as antibacterial agent in dental invasive procedures to prevent infection after procedures. The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference inhibition of local anaesthetics drug lidocaine 2% and articaine 4% on the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria in vitro. The study subject was pure culture of Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 divided by two group, one group with lidocaine 2% and other with articaine 4%. This study was experimental laboratory with post test only control group design. The mean of inhibitions were obtained by measuring inhibition zone formed around paper discs with caliper in milimeter scale. The result showed Inhibition rate lidocaine 2% had greater rate than articaine 4% in inhibiting the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria in vitro.The conclusion was lidocaine 2% was more effective than articaine 4% in inhibiting the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria in vitro.

Cabe Puyang merupakan tanaman yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi tanaman obat di Indonesia. Salah satu hambatan pengembangan tanaman ini adalah tingkat produktivitasnya yang rendah. Metode yang dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas Cabe Puyang adalah kultur kalus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah kultur kalus merupakan metode yang efektif untuk perbanyakan Cabe Puyang. Eksplan daun dan batang diinokulasi pada medium Murashige and Skoog (MS) dengan penambahan 0,5 mg/l 2,4-D dan 0,5 mg/l BA untuk mengetahui eksplan paling responsif. Eksplan tersebut diinokulasi pada medium MS dengan kombinasi 2,4-D:BA dan NAA:BA (0:0; 0,5:0,5; 0,5:1; dan 1:0,5) mg/l untuk optimasi medium induksi kalus. Kalus disubkultur ke medium dengan penambahan BA (0; 0,5; 1; 2; dan 3) mg/l untuk optimasi medium regenerasi tunas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan eksplan batang lebih responsif dibandingkan daun. Kombinasi 0,5 mg/l 2,4-D + 0,5 mg/l BA dan 0,5 mg/l 2,4-D dan 1 mg/l BA menunjukkan respon pembentukan kalus paling cepat, yaitu selama 9 hari. Belum terdapat tunas yang terbentuk pada tahap regenerasi, namun pada konsentrasi 1 mg/l BA kalus mulai menunjukkan tanda regenerasi, seperti tekstur kalus friable dan warna menjadi kuning kehijauan.Javanese chili is a plant that has the potential to be developed into medicinal plants in Indonesia. One of the obstacles of the development of this plant is the low level of productivity. The method that can be used to increase the productivity of Long pepper is callus culture. This study aims to determine whether callus culture is an effective method for Long pepper propagation. Leaf dan stem explants were grown on Murashige dan Skoog (MS) medium with the addition of 0.5 mg / l 2,4-D dan 0.5 mg / l BA to determine the most responsive explants. The explants were grown on MS medium with a combination of 2,4-D: BA dan NAA: BA (0: 0; 0.5: 0.5; 0.5: 1; dan 1: 0.5) mg / l for optimization of callus induction medium. Callus was sub cultured to the medium with the addition of BA (0; 0.5; 1; 2; dan 3) mg / l for the optimization of the shoot regeneration medium. The results showed stem explants were more responsive than leaves. The combination of 0.5 mg / l 2,4-D + 0.5 mg / l BA dan 0.5 mg / l 2,4-D dan 1 mg / l BA showed the fastest response to callus formation, which was for 9 days. No shoots were formed at the regeneration stage, but at a concentration of 1 mg / l BA callus began to show signs of regeneration, such as a friable callus texture dan a greenish yellow color.
