Comparison between stylet and bougie with the C-MAC D-blade in cervical simulated immobility. A prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Thevar Manoharan Nirenjen Sadamaaya , Varghese Nita , Krishna Bhat Rama Rani
Published: May 2023

Introduction: The C-MAC D-blade was designed for difficult airway intubation scenarios. To facilitate easier and faster endotracheal intubation in the laryngoscopy paradox, an introducer is preferred. Hence, we decided to conduct a study to compare the 60˚ angled C-MAC stylet and the gum elastic bougie as aids to intubation while using the C-MAC D-blade laryngoscope in a simulated difficult airway setting. Objective: To compare the ease of oral intubation with the use of the C-MAC stylet (60˚ angled stylet) versus intubation performed over a bougie inserted using the C-MAC D-blade guidance in patients with simulated restricted cervical mobility. Methods: Prospective, randomized controlled single-center study. Intubation using the C-MAC D-blade laryngoscope was performed in 48 surgical patients randomly assigned to 2 groups of 24 each: Stylet group, Group S (using 60˚ angled stylet) and Bougie group, Group B (using bougie) after providing manual in-line stabilization to restrict cervical mobility. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Chi square test were used as applicable.  Results: The use of stylet resulted in easier (Group S 75% vs. Group B 16.7%) and faster (Group S 26.83 ± 8.61s vs. Group B 47.18 ± 16.46s) intubation with fewer attempts compared to group B. Both groups experienced a similar hemodynamic stress response to intubation. Conclusions: The 60˚ angled C-MAC Stylet is a more effective and time-saving intubation aid with C-MAC D-blade compared to bougie.
Social determinants for health and neonatal anesthesia in Colombia
Authors: Trujillo Alexander
Published: May 2023

The social determinants of health are the social characteristics in which people's lives and work develop, giving them the capacity to act in specific contexts and are responsible for the health conditions of individuals and populations.

Recent World Bank data show that Colombia has made modest progress in terms of social equity. These data reveal that neonatal mortality in remote areas of the country is similar to that found in Sub-Saharan Africa. In these regions, there is no access to specialized neonatal health services. As for anesthesia services, this age group has the highest mortality and perioperative complication rates related to prematurity, the quality of health services and, especially, the expertise of the anesthesiologist.

In Colombia, efforts to implement formal university programs for sub-specialization in pediatric anesthesiology have not received governmental support. Meanwhile, the Colombian Society of Anesthesiology, through its Committee of Pediatric Anesthesiology, has created ongoing education opportunities, which, although important, are insufficient to meet the needs of the country.

For this reason, a State policy is required, aimed at meeting its social debt and that considers the specialized training of human resources as a pillar for the promotion of equity in health, so that the surgical neonate does not have to travel in the procurement of services, but rather have the State bring those services to them.
Mongol-Soviet Relations (1925-1928)
Authors: Tsedendamba Batbayar
Published: May 2023

The article explores the aspects of the interaction between Mongolia and the USSR on the development of their bilateral relations starting from 1925 up until 1928. The author shows how the Soviet troop withdrawal issue created by Moscow influenced the settlement of disputed issues between Mongolia and China, and interfered into the normalization Mongolian-Chinese relations for many years. Soviet envoy to the MPR P.M.Nikiforov was tasked to carry out total sovietazion of all aspects of Mongolian life under the nominal cover of independent Mongolia, and to prevent any process of unification between Outer and Inner Mongolia, to urge Mongolian leaders to recognize Tannu Tuva People’s Republic without any preconditions. A.Amar, Minister for Economy, during his trip to Moscow early 1926 raised the issues of distorted Mongol-Soviet trade, industrial, transport and other bilateral economic relations and asked Moscow to make adjustments and make economic relations equal and mutually beneficial. The character of the atmosphere between Ulaanbaatar and Moscow did play a key role in solving difficult and sensitive bilateral issues and the desire of the Mongolian People’s Republic to build official relations with Moscow as equal and trustful partners was strong.

Authors: Walkowiak Piotr
Published: May 2023

The article deals with the topic of youth and the introduction of individuals into the ranks of society with the participation of socialization in terms of pigeon breeding and shaping appropriate attitudes conditioning the proper functioning in the interpersonal space. The text also aims to present the role of human-animal collaboration, to raise awareness of the invaluable resource in the form of pigeons and their breeders as moral guides. The concept of free time taken into account makes one reflect whether it is not too narrowly classified in relation to young people. The work in the field of free time shows the inclusion of animals and being in their company of young people as one of the possible variants of development in the psychological, biological and social spheres. In the course of observation and establishing relationships with pigeons, during adolescence, the understanding of actions taken towards oneself and other individuals develops, and at the same time shaping specific attitudes.

DETERMINATION OF THE ECONOMIC-ECOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF USING ORGANIC MINERAL FERTILIZERS AND GROWTH PROMOTERS IN POTATO CROPS CULTIVATED IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARTSAKH
Authors: Aleksanyan Valeri , Mirzoyan Manush , Galstyan Saribek , Galstyan Meruzhan
Published: May 2023

The article presents the results of the studies on the changes in the quantity, marketability and quality indicators of the potato crop under the influence of the application of organic mineral fertilizers and growth promoters in the post-forest brown soils of the Askeran region of the Artsakh Republic, in potato fields grown in arid conditions.
Two-year research has revealed that although the one-time application of equivalent amounts of organic and mineral fertilizers equally affected the quantity, marketability and quality indicators of the potato crop, fractional or combined application of these fertilizers had a more beneficial effect on the specified indicators of potatoes than their one-time application.
At the same time, the studies revealed that in the one-time and fractional applications of organomix and mineral fertilizers, as well as bio-liquid application variants, compared to the variant without fertilization, the content of nitrates increased by 45-115 mg/kg, but their amount in the potato crop is within the limits of marginal permissible density. (MPD)
Due to the limitation and high cost of mineral fertilizers, fertilize the potato fields with organomix at the rate of 8 t/ha, 60% of which is in sowing and 40% with nutrition, first soak the potato planting material with a solution of bio-liquid (14 l/ha) 2-3 days before sowing and as a result, a potato crop of 350-360 c/ha will be ensured, with a high content of starch and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is proposed to be invested in agricultural production.

Development and territory branding: loyalty of the worldview of cities to create cultural exchange and recognition of identity
Authors: Graterol Rivas Modesto Eloi
Published: May 2023

The general objective of the research is to analyze the development and territory brand: fidelization of the worldview of cities to create cultural exchange and recognition of identity. In this sense, the historical journey of Local Development is described from the economic-dominant thought and its relationship with Marketing, from a critical, inductive-descriptive methodology. One of the outstanding features of the late 20th century is the emergence of the spatial dimension as a fundamental referent of the economy and politics, both nationally and globally. In this sense, spatial variables are increasingly determinant with the location of production, trade flows and sociopolitical aspects of development. Also in Latin America, as in the rest of the world, a new spatial logic is permeating economic, political and social processes, constituting a fundamental concern of Marketing management, aimed at achieving business objectives of the territories through Brand-Territory.

Authors: Hamri  , Husen Mardin , Amrullah
Published: May 2023

The conditions in Pucak Village, Tompobulu District, Maros Regency illustrate the enormous regional potential for managing natural resources in the era of regional autonomy, where the Diffusion and Utilization of Science and Technology Programs in remote villages have not been optimally studied. The desired impact of this program is the use of natural resources in the village to become an alternative energy source, namely renewable energy through the production of biogas from cow dung.The service is aimed at providing knowledge to residents about the use of new and renewable energy sources, namely energy produced with appropriate technology that is relatively simple and suitable for rural areas. Biogas processing provides many benefits for residents in managing livestock manure into biogas energy as an alternative fuel that is environmentally friendly, where processing livestock waste into biogas can reduce environmental pollution, where waste is managed into alternative fuels, where the results of waste management have disposal which is then reprocessed into solid or liquid organic fertilizer.
Untargeted Screening and Identification of Contaminants Using Gas Chromatography Coupled to High-Resolution Accurate Mass–Mass Spectrometry: Novel Solutions for Applied Testing Laboratories
Authors: Rajski Łukasz , Kutscher Daniel , Roberts Dominic
Published: May 2023

The combination of gas chromatography (GC) instruments with quadrupole-based mass spectrometers is a common analytical setup for the detection of a broad range of volatile and semivolatile contaminants. GC–mass spectrometry (MS) (nominal mass) instruments are well known for their robustness and ease of use. However, they have some important limitations. Single quadrupole instruments can perform full scan analysis, but their sensitivity and selectivity in this mode are limited. Triple quadrupole (GC–MS/MS) systems are limited to a targeted acquisition within a specified compound list. High-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) mass spectrometry can overcome these limitations.

مسؤولية الدولة عن بطء التقاضي في القضاء الإداري
Authors: حسن سامح
Published: May 2023

يعدّ الحق في سرعة الفصل في الدعاوى حقاً دستورياً عالمياً، لكن رغم ذلك ظل القضاء الإداري الفرنسي يرفض لمدة طويلة مسؤولية الدولة عن التأخر في الفصل في الدعوى خاصة إذا كان الضرر الناتج يسيراً.

إلا أن ضغط المحكمة الأوروبية لحقوق الإنسان قد جعل المجلس يعدل عن قضائه ويسير على نفس قواعد المحكمة الأوروبية في تحديد معيار المدة المعقولة. وذلك بعد أن قررت المحكمة سالفة الذكر أن التزام الدول الأعضاء نحو تحقيق العدالة الناجزة هو التزام بتحقيق نتيجة، وليس التزام ببذل عناية مما يستوجب على الدول الأعضاء بذل كل الجهد في سبيل تقرير هذا الحق لمواطني الدول الأعضاء.

وقد طور مجلس الدولة من قضائه مستلهماً قواعد المحكمة الأوروبية كما طورت فرنسا من قوانينها لتنفيذ هذا الالتزام لتقرر لمجلس الدولة اختصاصاً حصرياً بالتعويض عن مسؤولية الدولة عن تأخر القضاء في الفصل في الدعاوى على إجمالي مدة التقاضي و عن كل مرحلة من مراحل الدعوى على حدة. كما أظهر المجلس تسامحاً ملحوظاً في تقدير التعويض عن التأخير في الفصل في الدعوى لمدة معقولة لدرجة جعلته يقضي بمسؤولية القاضي المدنية عن التأخير.

أما في مصر فنتيجة عدم مسؤولية الدولة عن أعمال السلطة القضائية فمن الصعب القول بإمكان تطبيق مسؤولية الدولة عن عدم تطبيق العدالة الناجزة رغم وجود الأساس الدستوري لها.
Gender-specific differences in comorbidities, in-hospital complications and outcomes in emergency patients with ethanol intoxication with and without multisubstance use
Authors: Schwegler Eric , Bachmann Marta , Kube Frank , Eriksson Urs
Published: May 2023

AIMS OF THE STUDY: To analyse gender-specific differences in comorbidities, multisubstance abuse, in-hospital complications, intensive care unit transfers and referrals to psychiatric wards of emergency department patients with ethanol intoxication. Several lines of evidence suggest an influence of gender differences on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to various diseases.

METHODS: Over a period of 7 years, all patients with signs or symptoms of ethanol intoxication and a positive blood ethanol test admitted for the first time to the emergency department of a Swiss regional tertiary referral hospital were prospectively enrolled. Patients were categorised into two subgroups: patients without additional drug use were considered ethanol-only cases, whereas patients who had also ingested other substances (as determined from bystanders, physicians and urine drug screening) were considered multisubstance cases. A retrospective analysis of this database evaluated gender-specific differences in comorbidities, multisubstance abuse, in-hospital complications, intensive care unit transfers and referrals to psychiatric wards within these two subgroups. Statistical analysis included Fisher’s exact test for categorical data and Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous data.

RESULTS: Of 409 enrolled patients, 236 cases were ethanol-only and 173 were multisubstance cases. The three most common comorbidities in multisubstance patients showed significant gender differences: psychiatric disorders (43% males vs 61% females; p = 0.022), chronic ethanol abuse (55% males vs 32% females; p = 0.002) and drug addiction (44% males vs 17% females; p = 0.001). Gender differences were also found for the most frequently co-ingested substances: benzodiazepines (35% males vs 43% females; p = 0.014), cannabis (45% males vs 24% females; p = 0.006) and cocaine (24% males vs 6% females; p = 0.001).

Male and female ethanol-only patients were transferred to the intensive care unit in 8% of cases. In multisubstance cases, 32% of male and 43% of female patients were transferred to the intensive care unit (no significant gender difference). The psychiatric ward referral rate in male (30%) and female (48%) patients with multisubstance abuse was significantly different (p = 0.028). No significant gender difference in psychiatric ward referral rates was observed for ethanol-only patients (12% males, 17% females).

CONCLUSION: Among emergency department patients admitted with ethanol intoxication, gender differences in comorbidities, substance use and psychiatric ward referrals were highly significant among patients who presented with multisubstance abuse. Rates of intensive care unit transfer for patients with ethanol intoxication are substantial for both genders, reflecting relevant disease burden and resource demand, as well as the need for further preventive efforts.

Phänomen Intensivpetenten In jeder Behörde und vor jedem Gericht treten Menschen auf, die ihre Anliegen besonders hartnäckig verfolgen oder die eine Vielzahl von Verfahren geradezu als Selbstzweck zu betreiben scheinen. In den schlimmsten Fällen kann sich ein solches Verhalten über verbale Aggressionen und Beleidigungen bis hin zur Androhung oder Ausübung von physischer Gewalt gegenüber der angesprochenen Person steigern. Der Konflikt mit sogenannten Intensivpetenten stellt Ämter, Behörden und Gerichte daher oftmals vor besondere Herausforderungen und kann für ihre Mitarbeiter eine erhebliche Belastung mit sich bringen. Praxisratgeber zum Konflikt mit querulatorischen Personen Hervorgegangen aus einer Tagung an der Deutschen Universität für Verwaltungswissenschaften Speyer im April 2021, bietet der Praxis-Ratgeber eine umfassende Einführung in das Phänomen und zeigt hilfreiche Strategien und Empfehlungen für einen angemessenen und zielführenden Umgang mit Intensivpetenten auf. Die individuellen Beweggründe für das Verhalten von Intensivpetenten sind dabei so vielfältig wie komplex. Angemessener Umgang mit »schwierigen Kunden« Die Beiträge des Bandes machen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven deutlich, wie diesem Phänomen effektiv begegnet werden kann, ohne dabei der Gefahr einer Stigmatisierung von »schwierigen Kunden« zu erliegen. Neueste Erkenntnisse aus Wissenschaft und Praxis Die einzelnen Kapitel basieren auf dem neuesten Stand der wissenschaftlichen Forschung, sind aber durchgehend als Praxishilfe für den öffentlichen Sektor angelegt. Sie verbinden inhaltliches Fachwissen mit handlungsrelevanten Ratschlägen und regen auf allen Organisationsebenen zu einem reflektierteren Umgang mit dem Phänomen »Intensivpetenten« an. Der Inhalt gliedert sich in vier Teile: juristischen Grundlagen psychologische und psychiatrische Perspektiven dienstrechtliche und verwaltungsorganisatorische Schutzmechanismen Erfahrungsberichte und Verhaltensempfehlungen aus der Praxis Mit Beispielen und konkreten Tipps Ein Fazit mit konkreten Anregungen für Betroffene und Vorgesetzte sowie zahlreiche Schaukästen, Tabellen, Beispiele und Abbildungen runden das Werk ab.

Die gerechte Grundsteuer im Lichte von Leistungsfähigkeits- und Äquivalenzprinzip
Authors: Freund Volker
Published: May 2023

Tragende Elemente der Grundsteuer Diese Untersuchung ist keine Nachbearbeitung der steuerpolitischen Grundsteuerdebatte, sondern möchte einen Beitrag zur steuerwissenschaftlichen Diskussion leisten. Gerechtigkeit, Grundsteuer sowie Leistungs- und Äquivalenzprinzip: ein Haus mit drei Etagen, das eine Gemeinschaft beherbergt, deren Mitglieder aus verschiedenen Generationen stammen, unterschiedlicher Herkunft sind und unterschiedliche Vorstellungen haben, wie das Leben sein soll. Gleichheit und Gemeinwohl: äußerlich tragende Elemente für die Statik des Gebäudes, nach innen Orientierungsmarken für das Miteinander. Leistungsfähigkeitsprinzipa vs Äquivalenzprinzip Das Leistungsfähigkeitsprinzip wird für die Grundsteuer überwiegend als der allein richtige Steuerlastverteilungsmaßstab angesehen. Seine Vertreter halten das Äquivalenzprinzip als DNA einer Grundsteuerbemessungsgrundlage nicht für verfassungsfest. Dabei handelt es sich nicht nur um ein akademisches Problem. Vier Länder haben von der Möglichkeit, eigene Grundsteuergesetze zu erlassen, im Sinne von Reformmodellen Gebrauch gemacht, die im Gegensatz zum Bundesrecht auf dem Äquivalenzprinzip fußen. Ob diese einer Prüfung durch das Bundes- und gegebenenfalls ein Landesverfassungsgericht standhalten können, ist deshalb nicht nur von wissenschaftlichem Interesse, sondern absehbar auch von hoher politischer und praktischer Relevanz.
Die Vorsatzstrafbarkeit des Arztes bei konsentierten lebensgefährdenden Behandlungen
Authors: Brechtken Lena
Published: May 2023

The work includes a deliberative analysis of potential criminal liability risks to physicians for consented life-threatening treatments. A physician's ethical obligation is to preserve life, cure disease, and alleviate suffering. However, the hope of cure is often accompanied by acceptance of the risks associated with medical intervention. The finding that physicians consciously decide to perform a life-threatening - in some cases fatal - operation not only gives rise to interesting dogmatic follow-up questions at the level of the elements of the crime and justification, but also at the same time reveals risks of criminal liability of not inconsiderable magnitude.
Gegen die Frauen
Authors: de Swaan Abram
Published: May 2023

Über die Erfolge der Frauenemanzipation und die Abwehrreaktionen. Das weltweite Bildungsniveau ist im letzten halben Jahrhundert rasant gestiegen, insbesondere bei Mädchen und jungen Frauen. Das hat auch die Beziehungen zwischen Mann und Frau verändert. Frauen heiraten später, bekommen weniger Kinder, arbeiten länger und verdienen mehr. Dieser Zugewinn an Wissen, Einkommen und auch Macht ist für viele Männer schwer zu ertragen. Abram de Swaan zufolge führt dieses relative Schwinden der männlichen Dominanz zu sozialen und psychologischen Spannungen, die auf die Verletzung des männlichen Ehrgefühls zurückzuführen sind: eine kollektive und individuelle narzisstische Kränkung. Der Autor sieht den Aufstieg der extremen Rechten, des christlichen Fundamentalismus und des Dschihadismus als Reaktion auf die weltweite Emanzipation der Frauen, die offenbar von vielen Männern als bedrohlich wahrgenommen wird. Werden diese Bewegungen fortbestehen, oder sind sie ein letztes Aufbäumen des im Untergang befindlichen Patriarchats?
When Spotting the Glass Cliff Matters for Women: A Qualitative Study Focusing on Gender Inequalities in Corporate South Africa
Authors: Mashele Winsome , Paul Alagidede Imhotep
Published: May 2023

Trends of women accessing senior manager roles in corporate South Africa have made considerable gains, and although some women have managed to crack the glass ceiling which has hindered their full participation in economic life, true gender equality is yet to be achieved. Sometimes, what seems like a wonderful opportunity to climb up the corporate ladder is an ascent that leads you to the top and pushes you over the edge. But what happens when women do manage to get to the top? The study investigates the concept of the glass cliff by interrogating its existence and looking further into the implications of the phenomenon. A qualitative research methodology was employed, and data collected through semi-structured interviews from a total of 15 participants. The research suggests that for women managers it is important to understand when, why, and how glass cliff appointments are likely to occur and elaborates on strategies for eliminating the glass cliff. The study goes further to make suggestions to policy makers about the importance of understanding the impact of the choices made by women seeking management positions and provides insights regarding how women feel about taking these precarious manager roles. This chapter aims at contributing to this under-researched area from a South African perspective.
Mapping the Dengue Cases Distribution with Google Earth Pro™, Geocoding Attributes Tables

When the epidemiologists need to analyze the distribution of cases in a study or the outbreak trend of cases over time, usually they use graphics for representing the magnitude over time (by incidence and prevalence), tables for describing the variables of the affected people (by race, age, sex, weight, and social condition), and maps describing the spread of places and distribution over time. The technological advances gives most people access to latitude and longitude in smartphones and easy access to a GIS-like free software such as Google Earth™ (GE), an intuitive and effective program for a fast map of the case addresses geocoded, an easy way to display layers imported from formats like Shapefiles extension, and showing over those layers Excel tables with the patient variables and geocoded data from the sheet. Besides, it gives the availability of saving the spatial data with the variables, in files that can be mailed and displayed in smartphones and PCs with Google Earth installed and with outcomes that have a format compatible to GIS classic software.
Antioxidant Strategies to Improve Female Reproduction
Authors: Hussain Tarique
Published: May 2023

Animals are only productive once their reproductive cycle is continuously flown. There are several causes of stresses which interrupt animal physiology and make animal less productive. All factors involved in stress could eventually generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Limited production of these reactive species performs several functions to maintain redox homeostasis. When these reactive oxidative metabolites are overwhelmed, it may generate oxidative stress. Disruption in oxidant/antioxidant mechanism leads to cause oxidative stress. Naturally, the body system is equipped with an antioxidant defense system. Once this system is broken-down due to the overproduction of ROS, it may have a detrimental effect on lipids, proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates and eventually influence animal fertility and productivity. Antioxidants available in nature are of two types: natural and synthetic. These compounds endowed several properties in the mitigation of various animal stresses, starting from physiology to molecular level. This chapter elucidates oxidative stress, natural and synthetic antioxidants, and particular focus are emphasized that how antioxidant supplementation can help to improve animal fertility and productivity. Moreover, the mechanism by which antioxidants produce fruitful effects will also be highlighted.
Review of Determination of Heavy Metals and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Concentrations in Remediated Crude Oil Contaminated Soil
Authors: JOSEPH Ahmadu Adamu
Published: May 2023

The discharge of crude oil products to the environment (soil, water and air) has great negative impacts on the organisms living therein. Most of these effects are from heavy metals, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) among others. This research adopts an extensive review of literatures such as conference papers, journal articles, internet sources, books to find out the amount of total metal concentrations and the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) that are likely to be found on crude oil contaminated soil even after remediation or cleanup activities have been carried out. The driving force behind this research is the fact that the people living in most petroleum-contaminated areas such as the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria still experience some negative effects (such as health and agricultural effects) associated with the crude oil pollutants even after remediation. The study concludes that even though heavy metals were still present in the remediated soil, they are not bioavailable for plants uptake; hence their presence is negligible harmless. On the other hand, the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) that remains after cleanup is still well above the background level. As such, it would impose negative impacts on the inhabitants of such areas. The study further recommends that more effective methods of remediation should be carried out, or a combination of more than one method should be adopted in other to obtain absolute cleanup of the polluted area..

Inclusion of legumes in cropping systems is essential for sustainable management of farming systems. A field experiment was conducted at Bedele district of south western Ethiopia during the 2020 and 2021 crop growing seasons to evaluate maize common bean intercropping and phosphorus critical level(Pc) rate for optimum maize common bean productivity and profitability. Treatments consisted of factorial combinations of three (without, single and double) rows of common bean between maize rows and four rates of phosphorus critical level (Pc %) (0,50,75 and 100 %)kgha-1 , where Pc = phosphorus critical level determined for maize in the district. A sole crop maize with recommended fertilizer rate of 92/100 % N/Pc ha-1 was used as a control treatment. The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results indicated that the intercrop system was more productive relative to the sole crop. Common bean when associated with maize showed significant differences on maize grain yield. Maize common bean single row inter crop fertilized with (75% Pc ha-1 ) increased maize grain yield as compared to sole crop maize. Moreover, maize common bean single row intercropping with (75% Pc ha-1 ) was the most profitable with marginal rate of return (11.62%).Results from this study indicated that smallholders in the Bedele district can achieve higher maize grain yield productivity and profitability through the implementation of simultaneous intercropping of maize with common bean under inorganic fertilizer application.

In this paper, the fruit bodies of myxomycetes were collected in the field and were isolated from various substrates in humid chambers in the laboratory. The result showed that there is a high diversity of myxomycetes in the tropical forests of Vietnam. In totally, 159 species from 32 genera and 12 families developing on air and ground plant litter, rotten wood, feces of herbivorous animals, were identified with the 13 specially protected natural areas of Vietnam. In which, 69 taxa were firstly recorded in Vietnam. 4 new species were described. The result of the detailed comparative analysis using multivariate statistical methods was revealed some regularities of distribution of myxomycetes on a high-altitude gradient, biotopes, and also on various substrates. It is shown that: 1) the specieal diversity and abundance of myxomycetes are lower in mountain forests in comparison with plain forests, these indexes decrease inversely proportional to with altitude; 2) the abundance and specieal diversity of myxomycetes decrease by increasing the moisture of substrate; 3) There are differences in the species compositions between substrate groups of mountain forests and plain forests; 4) some common species in a temperate climate place have found in in the mountain tropical forests of Vietnam.

Novel bacterial strain 3.7 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil in Southern Vietnam that is capable to grow on hexadecane as sole carbon and energy sources. This isolate was identified as Gordonia amicalis (with related 100%) based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The strain 3.7 produces at least two classes of biosurfactants (glycolipid, lipopeptid) those possess high emulsifying activity (E24 = 67%). Fatty acid composition in organic extract was determined by GC-MS, most of them are hexadecanoic acid (53%). Thus, G.amicalis 3.7 could be used as component in biopreparation for clean up of oil-contaminated areas and as potential producer of surface active compounds.

Published: May 2023

The Myriapoda community of 20-year old replanted forest surrounded by native lowland monsoon tropical forest in Cat Tien National Park, Southern Vietnam, was investigated in comparison with native forest and the same plantations 6 years ago. The author found that the Myriapoda community in replanted forest is very different from the mature forest community in species composition, structure, and abundance, and it has typical features of a soil community in a young, non-stable system. However after comparing the community in replanted forest with the same community 6 years later the author found a progressive dynamic in developing soil community into one similar to a mature forest community.

Bird communities were studied during field surveys in five protected forested territories in the south of Vietnam: Yok Don National Park, Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve, Bu Gia Map National Park, Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park and Chu Yang Sin National Park. Lowland communities showed higher species diversity than montane ones. The similarity measure of bird species composition was rather high among three lowland forests and between two montane forests, however, few species were common for both lowland and montane communities. The study of the ecological structure of bird communities was based on trophic guilds composition. Six guilds of forest birds were conventionally defined: insectivore, predatory, frugivore, nectarivore, granivore and omnivore. All guilds were presented in all studied bird communities, but their portion varied between lowland and montane forests. The high similarities of guild proportions between all lowland and both montane forests demonstrated, assumingly, that the found ecological structures are stable for each type of community. Although species composition of trophic guilds varied greatly between lowland and montane communities, the similarity measure was greater among predatory birds and less among “plant-eating” birds (frugivore, nectarivore and granivore guilds combined). Apparently, that reflects greater dependence of “plant-eating” birds upon plant species composition in lowland and montane forests. The complex assessment of bird communities based on species composition and ecological structure can be useful for comparative studies of bird distribution in diverse ecosystems and for temporal monitoring of degrading or restored natural habits.
