The blue-fronted Amazon parrot (Amazona aestiva) is a psittacine species that suffers greatly from the illegal wildlife trade in Brazil, being subjected to severe stress during this process. In this study, hematologic values were determined to evaluate the general health condition of 27 A. aestiva nestlings seized from illegal trade and sent to the wildlife rehabilitation center of Campo Grande. Conventional techniques were performed for hematological analysis, and the following means were observed: red blood cell count, 2.3 x 10 6/µL; white blood cell count, 11.1 x 10 3/µL; heterophils, 6.6 x 10 3/µL; lymphocytes, 4.3 x 10 3/µL; eosinophils, 0; basophils, 0.1 x 10 3/µL; and monocytes, 0.1 x 10 3/µL. Heterophil:lymphocyte ratio was 1.6. These values support future clinical assessments on A. aestiva nestlings kept as pets or even in free-living conditions.

Published: August 2021

Although echocardiography is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in dogs, radiographic examination of the thorax is still routinely and can potentially provide useful information in the evaluation of the patient. The aim of this review is to correlate the pathophysiological findings of the main congenital heart diseases in dogs with radiographic changes of the thorax. This review shows the importance of knowing both the limitations and the pathophysiological aspects of these cardiac malformations for a more accurate radiographic interpretation by the radiologist.

Published: August 2021

White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) can cause a large-scale death of cultured shrimp and significant damage to the shrimp farming industry. Marsupenaeus japonicus is one of the world’s most important economically farmed shrimp. This study found that some M. japonicus survived the spontaneous outbreak of WSSV. Surprisingly, these virus-carrying shrimp showed no apparent illnesses or outbreaks of white spot disease in the subsequent cultivation, and their body size was substantially smaller than healthy shrimp, indicating a long-term fight between the host and the virus. To investigate this interesting phenomenon, we analyzed the transcriptomes of healthy shrimp and survived shrimp through the RNA-Seq platform, attempting to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of the struggle between M. japonicus and WSSV. Transcriptional analysis showed that a total of 37,815 unigenes were assembled, with an average length of 1,193.34 bp and N50 of 2,049 bp. In the KEGG pathway, enrichment analysis of DEGs pathways related to immunity, biosynthesis, and growth metabolism was enriched, including pentose phosphate pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, Wnt signaling pathway, biosynthesis of amino acids, ascorbate, and aldarate metabolism. Our data showed a delicate balance between M. japonicus and WSSV infection: On the one hand, WSSV infection can cause host metabolism and biosynthesis disorders in the host, and the virus consumes a portion of the material and energy required for shrimp average growth and reproduction. If WSSV infection persisted for a long time, then the growth rate of M. japonicus decreased. On the other hand, the host can regulate immune defense to resist subsequent viral infection. This study reveals the underlying molecular mechanism of a long-term battle of M. japonicus against WSSV infection, providing novel insights for preventing WSSV persistent infection in M. japonicus and other farmed shrimp species.

Published: August 2021

By the example of heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of propane the process of peroxide radicals transfer from the surface of catalysts into the reactor volume is studied. For comparison ZnO/SiO2 contacts obtained by depositing the active phase on the silica surface by sol-gel and chemical transport reaction (CTR) were used. It was established that for the case both the temperature of the radicals transfer from the surface to the volume and the value of the activation energy are lower than in the case. It was shown that the modification of the silica gel surface with zinc oxide by the CTR method is more effective as compared with the sol-gel method. It is established that in both cases the active phase of the catalyst exhibits paramagnetic properties. On the basis of the given, semi-artificial kinetic method of radical detachment, the obligatory mechanism of activation failed.
EFFECT OF VIBRATION STRESS BOTH ON THE SHIFTS OF SOLUBLE PROTEIN FRACTIONS FROM RAT LIVER AND ON THE ARGINASE I ACTIVITY
Authors: Barseghyan Ernestina Kh. , Karapetyan Hasmik M. , Trchounian Armen H.
Published: August 2021

Vibration pathology is in the second place among diseases connected to the profession. The vibration effect both on the protein fraction shifts and on the activities of I type arginase (Arg) IA and IB from white rat liver has been studied in the conditions of 5-, 10- and 15-day vibration state. In the initial state of vibration some decrease of Arg IA and Arg IB activities was revealed as compared to the control without general protein spectrum change of liver extract. Along with vibration effect, the expression level of Arg IA was increased with duration enhancement, which possibly is due to hyperammonemia, in the result of which ureagenesis is stimulated. Stimulation of easy available adaptation reserves were described due to protein catabolism. Analysis of shifts of general and enzyme protein fractions in the conditions of vibration effect allows to reveal their qualitative and quantitative changes and to make important the organism adaptation reactions that result from anabolic and catabolic process relations. It is possible that the revealed changes in the activity of arginase IA and IB are a biologically expedient mechanism for regulating the activity of hepatic arginase during vibration stress.

Published: August 2021

Patient’s quality of life (QL) measures are endowed with independent predictive value and these factors are considered to be more distinct than patient’s general somatic condition for predicting patient’s health condition. However, the number of researches devoted to QL prediction in the field of medical science is low. The aim of research is evaluation of predictive measure of QL of early aged children. Prospective observational study was carried out. The objects of the research were 2362 early age children (3months-3years old) from pediatric polyclinics of Yerevan. QL of children was evaluated with the international questionnaire “QUALIN”. Wald’s analytical method has been applied for predictive evaluation of QL criteria and formation of risk group. For the analysis and evaluation of the statistical material used SPSS Statistics software package. In social-hygienic factors more important were: family type, conflicts in family, disabled child and frequent morbidity families, presence of artificial nutrition since birthday. Among medico-biological factors the presence of two or more diseases in neonatal period, low and high levels of physical development, weight deficit and obesity, child’s health group and respiratory, nervous and digestive system diseases were more significant. In terms of predictive evaluation of QL, it can be stated that a number of medico-biological and socio-hygienic factors affect the overall formation of QL. By means of predictive evaluation of QL one can originally set apart targeted risk groups and if the score of predictive evaluation is +13 and higher, implement health measures, which may provide with improvements of QL criteria.

Psychosocial is commonly defined as referring to a relationship that is close in both psychological and social factors. Emotional and cognitive development, as well as social factors such as interpersonal relationships and the community in which a person lives all influence a person's psychological well-being. Psychosocial is focused on the interpersonal aspects that exist alongside psychological aspects (thoughts, emotions, and behavior) (social relations, traditions and culture). Initiated psychological encouragement (commonly referred to as DPA) is also known as PFA (PFA). Psychosocial encouragement is a type of DPA. DPA aims to reduce the detrimental effects of stress, to help individuals recover from disasters, and to assist in the process of their return to normal. A crisis situation is an ongoing (or expected) event that places people, groups, communities, or societies in an unstable and dangerous position, which then impacts those people, groups, or societies. There are both positive and negative impacts that teachers, students, and also parents have to face and deal with during a COVID-19 pandemic. Stress and pressure can arise naturally, for everyone, when someone is in an unpleasant/crisis situation. Emotional expressions, such as crying in children aged 0-3 years, or other non-adaptive behavior, such as aggressive or tantrums, are common indicators of stress in students (venting anger or excessive emotional outbursts at a certain age because there are unfulfilled wants or needs).

This study was carried out using the descriptive qualitative approach. The sort of research is content analysis. As data, the film script for Mulan (2020) was used. In addition, according to Grice's theory, two types of conversational implications exist: a widespread dialog implicitness and a specific dialogic impact and there are 5 sorts of non-compliance maximums: the flushing of a maximum, the infringement of a maximum and the suspension of a maximum. When the researchers collected and analyzed data, they used the data collection, data reduction, data display and conclusion of Miles, Huberman and Saldana idea. In addition, several table and diagram utilized by researchers to accurately describe and measure the data. The results of this study demonstrate that Mulan (2020) movie has 29 utterances that indicate the implications for dialogue. These include 17 widespread dialog involvement (59%) and 12 specialized involvement. Included in the total (41 percent ). In the film from Mulan (2020) it was found that a maximum of 17 data or 58 percent is flouting characters, which is higher than maximum violations, save for maximum manner violations of 9 data or 32 percent. However, the speech of characters in Mulan (2020) film does not contain the other maximum non observance like suspending a maximum and infringing a maximum.

Las investigaciones centradas en el diagnóstico de la convivencia dentro de nuestros entornos educativos son cada vez más relevantes a la hora de emprender medidas que mejoren al ambiente escolar de nuestros centros. Su importancia radica en conocer cuál es la percepción de la conflictividad para implementar programas conducentes a solventar los conflictos que surgen. Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar como perciben los estudiantes uno de los conflictos más comunes, la violencia verbal.  La metodología de investigación es de carácter cuantitativo con un diseño no experimental realizado a partir de un cuestionario validado tipo Likert. Los análisis realizados son de tipo estadístico descriptivo e inferencial. La población está formada por 220 estudiantes de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria (ESO) de un centro concertado de Málaga (España). Los resultados, indican la existencia en el aula de un nivel significativo de violencia verbal entre el alumnado y en menor medida del alumnado hacia el profesorado, siempre desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes. Se concluye que la violencia verbal directa entre alumnos y docentes puede ser abordada con la implementación de la mediación escolar entre pares, herramienta que propone como fórmula adecuada para la gestión positiva de conflictos.

Published: August 2021

El objetivo principal de este estudio ha sido conocer y analizar cuáles son los planteamientos metodológicos del profesorado de Educación Primaria durante la práctica de actividades de danza desde una perspectiva de género. Se llevó a cabo una investigación analítica de corte cuantitativo transversal en la que han participado 81 docentes de música de Educación Primaria. Para la recogida de la información se diseñó un cuestionario ad hoc estructurado en dos secciones: la primera de ellas hacía referencia a datos identificativos y de experiencia docente, mientras que la segunda contenía preguntas relacionadas con la metodología que empleaban los/las participantes durante las actividades de danza. Para el análisis de datos se ha utilizado la estadística exploratoria para un análisis descriptivo de las variables y estadística confirmatoria para realizar un análisis univariado, bivariado y multivariado. Los resultados revelan que el profesorado con más experiencia muestra un enfoque metodológico más sensible a las cuestiones de género. En relación con el género de los/las participantes, se ha observado que las maestras promueven la danza libre y creativa a un nivel superior de lo que lo hacen los maestros, si bien son ellas a su vez, las que tienen una mayor consideración de la danza como actividad femenina.

Authors: González-Sanz Myriam , Ibañez-Etxeberria Alex , Feliu-Torruella Maria
Published: August 2021

Se presenta un estudio de caso sobre la aplicación del método pedagógico Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) a las visitas escolares del Museo Picasso de Barcelona. Teniendo como objetivo principal analizar las percepciones del profesorado de primaria y articular sus voces, se recurre a una metodología mixta a través de triangulaciones de instrumentos y técnicas de análisis. Para ello se opta por un análisis DAFO y se interrelacionan sus debilidades, amenazas, fortalezas y oportunidades mediante un mapa conceptual. Los docentes señalan muchos más aspectos positivos que negativos, concentrándose los primeros en tres áreas temáticas: los efectos cognitivos en el alumnado, el modelo educativo constructivista y significativo que impulsa y el concepto de museo como zona de confort donde el estudiantado puede participar y opinar libremente. Los aspectos negativos giran en torno a los rasgos propios del método, las características de la adaptación que de él hace la institución y las limitaciones estructurales del Museo Picasso. De acuerdo al profesorado, la implementación del método mejoraría al aplicarlo de manera más continuada y flexible, combinando las interpretaciones libres sobre obras de arte con contenido histórico-artístico. Al ser un método competencial se sugiere también un trabajo continuado en el museo y/o en la escuela.
SENTIMENTOS VIVENCIADOS POR GESTANTES COM DIAGNOSTICO DE DIABETES GESTACIONAL : REVISÃO DE ESCOPO

Published: August 2021

Ao abordar sentimentos vivenciados por gestantes com diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG), esta revisão de escopo tem o objetivo de mapear, na literatura, as principais dificuldades que permeiam a vida das gestantes com diagnóstico de DMG. O levantamento de dados foi feito no período de agosto de 2020 nas fontes de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), bem como na literatura cinza. O processo de aprendizado acerca dessa patologia pode ser difícil e, em alguns casos, pode estar relacionado à baixa escolaridade da gestante ou a fatores psíquicos, como negação da patologia, ansiedade, angústia, medo, insegurança, impotência, entre outros sentimentos gerados com as restrições alimentares, privação de sono, hipertensão etc. Assim, sugere-se intensificar pesquisas com vista à promoção de saúde e à prevenção dos agravos às gestantes com DMG, a fim de diminuir a morbimortalidade materno-fetal.
INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY TYPE ON DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION
Authors: Njoki Hannah
Published: August 2021

Purpose: no one technology can support all types of teaching and learning at a distance – the most effective approach is to combine a range of technologies. Using multiple technologies ensure that all learning styles are catered for and that significant opportunities for interaction between the learner and the tutor are provided. The general objective of the study was to evaluate influence of technology type on development of instructional materials for distance education.

Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

Findings: From the study findings, it is concluded that learning through experience influences the creation of new values which become attitudes that have a strong impact on teacher's behavior towards e-learning technology. Therefore, the attitude and values are singled out as a separate category as well, linking together certain factors that influence them. Because of the manner of academic teaching process, the most commonly used is blended learning model where a course instructor chooses the e-learning technology based on certain elements. The practice has shown that creating a blended learning environment is not easy and that course instructors have problems in many stages of designing the virtual learning environment, from the analysis of the course requirements, analysis of the student requirements, application of instructional design model, e-learning technology use, not understanding the concept of the quality of e-learning process and many other factors..

Recommendations: The study recommends that is a need for more courses should be integrated in distance learning so as to cover all the courses offered to students. There is also need for students to enroll in practical classes for computer training. This will enable the less net savvy students to brace up so as to avoid being left behind by others. There is no doubt that a lot of pressures are facing our students when it comes to distance learning technology adoption, especially distance barrier. There is therefore, need for e-learning to be fully put in place to enable the group of students that their homes are far away from the school to participate in classes even when they are not able to make it to school. Finally, there should be availability of ICT infrastructure, the absence or inadequacy of which will totally hamper the idea of e-learning adoption in universities. There should be provision of computers and high bandwidth to enable the easy flow of classes online
Kitab-I Mukkaddes’te Merhamet Algısı
Authors: İpek Yasin
Published: August 2021

Merhamet, yaratan ile yaratılan arasındaki bağın ve muhabbetin en güzel göstergelerinden biridir. Merhameti iki kısımda inceleyebiliriz: Birincisi yaratana ait olan ve mahlukatın hayatını kolaylaştırmak için tüm alemi kuşatan ilahi merhamet, ikincisi ise yaratılmışın diğer mahlukata dair sahip olduğu acıma, sevme, yardımcı olma gibi güzel hasletleri içinde barındıran beşerî merhamettir. Yaratıcının insandan, hayvana ve doğaya kadar tüm mahlukatı kapsayan merhametinin içinde yarattıklarına karşı olan sonsuz sevgisi, hoşgörüsü ve bağışlayıcılığı yer almaktadır. Özellikle insandan da kendisini örnek almasını isteyen yaratıcı, merhameti üstün bir vasıf olarak nitelediğini ve hangi koşulda olursa olsun buna sahip olabilen ve bunu dışarıya yansıtabilen kimsenin gerek kendi katında gerekse diğer mahlukat katında saygın bir konumda olacağını açıkça belirtmiştir.Merhamet konusu gelmiş geçmiş tüm inanç sistemlerinde kendine yer bulmuştur. Konuyu Kitab-ı Mukaddes özelinde ele aldığımızda Eski ve Yeni Ahit ile Deuterokanonik (Apokrif) kitaplara ait birçok bölümde merhamete vurgu yapıldığı görülmektedir. Gerek Yahudiler gerekse Hıristiyanlar için merhamet konusunda öncelikle kendinden örnekler veren Tanrı, kullarından da kendisini örnek almalarını ve sadece insanlara karşı değil tüm mahlukata karşı merhametli olmalarını istemiştir. Merhamet duygusunun bir eksilik ya da acizlik değil tam tersine inanç ve erdem göstergesi olduğuna özellikle vurgu yapılmıştır. Kalbinde merhamet olanın hem yaşarken hem de öldükten sonra bunun nimet ve mükafatlarından faydalanacağını açıkça müjdelemiştir.Yapmış olduğumuz bu çalışmada, Eski ve Yeni Ahit ile Deuterokanonik (Apokrif) kitaplarda bulunan merhametle ilgili ifadelerden yola çıkılarak, Yahudilik ile Hıristiyanlığın bu konuya bakışları Kitab-ı Mukaddes perspektifinden ele alınmıştır.
The evaluation of employee silence from the perspective of foreign employees working for international companies in Poland
Authors: Aydınay Murat
Published: August 2021

The aim of this research is to evaluate organizational silence behavior from the perspective of foreign employees who work at the international companies in Poland. It is also aimed to find out "what issues employees remain silent about, the reasons for remaining silent, and how remaining silent affects employees" by considering the employee-manager relationships and to compare the findings based on the distinction between representations of eastern and western cultures. Ten foreign employees from ten different countries who work at international companies in Warsaw were selected based on maximum variation sampling. Depth interviews were conducted between November and December 2019 with these employees and content analysis method was used to analyze their responses. The themes that stand out from the participants’ responses were summarized through tables and discussed in light of the relevant literature. The situations related to managers’ attitudes, behaviors, perceptions, decisions, daily moods, and mentality are the most common issues for employees to remain silent about. While employees’ culture and personality, and being afraid of managers' reactions are the main reasons for remaining silent, the silence causes some negative effects on employees’ mood, efficiency, motivation, behaviors, and self-esteem. Organizational culture, managerial attitudes, employees’ culture and personality have an effect on organizational silence. Hence, well-structured organizational structures and cultures will direct managers to develop positive behaviors, and eliminate the negative effects of managerial attitudes and behaviors on the employees. Additionally, managers working for international companies with employees from different countries should take into account the cultures, religions and personalities of the employees not to cause silence during organizational communication.
İslâm Hukukunda Mislî ve Kıyemî Mal Kavramları ve Hukukî Yansımaları
Authors: Yıldız Faruk
Published: August 2021

İslam hukuk terminolojisinde mislî ve kıyemî ayrımı, malın sınıflandırılması içerisinde yer alan pek çok hükmün anlaşılmasında önemli rol oynayan ve üzerinde durulması gereken kavramlardandır. Kıyemî mal, çarşı pazarda benzeri bulunmayan mallar için kullanılırken mislî mal ise tam aksi için kullanılmaktadır. Bu tasnif malların mütakavvim ve gayr-ı mütakavvim tasnifinde olduğu gibi, eşyanın telef edilmesi durumunda tazmin edilip edilmeyeceği, eğer tazmin edilecekse ne şekilde tazmin edileceğiyle ilgili bir tasniftir. Ayrıca bu kavramlardan yola çıkılarak yani malın mislî veya kıyemî vasfına bakılarak yapılan muamelenin helal veya haram olduğuna hükmedilebilir. Bununla birlikte bu tasnifler meselelerin anlatımında tekrara düşmeden kavramsal atıfla konunun daha kolay anlaşılmasına katkı sunmaktadır. Bu makalede kıyemî ve mislî kavramların etimolojik tahlili yapıldıktan sonra mislî malların kıyemiye dönüşmesinin veya tam aksinin mümkün olabileceğine ve bu dönüşümün hangi şekillerde ortaya çıkacağına değinilmiştir. Buna ek olarak kıyemî ve mislî malların Riba, Selem ve Karz akdine konu olup olmayacağı meselesi mezheplerin görüşleri dikkate alınarak mukayeseli bir şekilde ele alınmaya çalışılacaktır.

Araştırmanın evrenini Samsun, Çorum, Amasya ve Tokat illerini kapsayan TR 83 Bölgesi oluşturmaktadır. Ancak, pandemi sürecinde ana kütlenin tamamına yüz yüze anket uygulamasının getireceği zorluklar nedeniyle araştırma sadece Çorum’daki tüm turizm işletme belgeli otellerin yöneticileri ile yürütülmüştür. Örneklem, Çorum otelcilik sektöründe yönetim veya işletme sahibi-işletmeci pozisyonlarına sahip katılımcılardan oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılarla yüz yüze görüşerek uygulanan anket ile ulaşılan verilere SPSS paket programıyla parametrik olmayan tek yönlü varyans analizi Kruskal-Wallis ve Mann-Whitney U testleri yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, oteldeki statüler, otel büyüklüğü ve otellerin yıldızları itibariyle istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Ancak, katılımcıların demografik faktörleri (cinsiyet, yaş ve eğitim seviyeleri) itibariyle etik ve KSS ile ilgili görüşleri arasında istatistiki açıdan anlamlı farklılıklar bulunamamıştır.

Este artículo aborda el problema del consumismo de ropa y su impacto en el medio ambiente a causa de la contaminación que provoca la producción de prendas. Los sujetos de estudio para esta investigación fueron los jóvenes adultos de la ciudad de Puebla. Se partió del supuesto de que, aunque cabe la posibilidad de que los consumidores conozcan la contaminación ambiental provocada por los procesos de la industria textil, estas personas caen en el consumismo. El objetivo de esta investigación es el de generar una alternativa viable que motive a los consumidores a reevaluar sus hábitos de consumo de ropa para reducir la contaminación causada por la fabricación de prendas. El método utilizado se basó en el modelo de Design Thinking aplicando una encuesta, entrevistas a fabricantes y un focus group a consumidores. Se prototipó un servicio llamado Closet Colectivo, que busca recolectar prendas de ropa para reciclarlas o reutilizarlas.
El diseño en la economía mexicana, un acercamiento hacía su potencial como motor económico.
Authors: Moreno Leonardo , Rogel Villalba Erika
Published: August 2021

Usualmente, el Diseño es reconocido como una práctica que actúa en la producción de bienes y experiencias para el consumo. Empero, ha sido poco significativo su valor como parte de la economía mexicana, aun cuando contribuye al aumento de la competitividad y valor añadido de productos y servicios. Algunos países, como Dinamarca, han entendido el potencial del Diseño como generador económico. Aunque en México, se han dado diversas iniciativas para mostrar su importancia estratégica en la competencia futura entre naciones, ciudades y empresas, la actividad del diseño en México, sigue sin ser considerada como algo urgente y el diseño se encuentra aún relegado del hacer productivo, social y económico del país.  Este documento presenta un acercamiento a diversas áreas de oportunidad en que el Diseño contribuye a la economía y a la calidad de vida en las sociedades, área que aún demanda muchos estudios.

This article intends to examine, under the influx of technological advances, new forms of fake news, fake faces, and deepfakes that have been disseminated by social bots, among others, with the purpose to interfere in the electoral process. The methodology used was bibliographic and documentary research, consisting of the collection and analysis of information extracted from texts, books, and articles, in addition to other scientific data, such as reports, research, laws, and bills/ draft laws. Both biopower and biopolitics were used as theoretical references to contrast the collected data, whose approach is based on Michel Foucault and Antonio Negri’s studies, and also dromology, supported by Paulo Virilio’s studies. We concluded, using the deductive method, that the fake news massive dissemination by robots (bots), now humanized through fake faces and the dissemination of videos (deepfakes), can influence, modify the result of the election through the public opinion manipulation in the formation of its voting intention, which represents a serious violation of democracy and, therefore,urgent legal regulation and combat strategies are required.

The metabolism of spoilage organism in the seafood is a major cause of fish spoilage. Lipid oxidation leads to production of intermediate peroxides causing bad odor and offflavour producing compounds. Hence, based on the hurdle technology method and applications of nanotechnology, the inhibitory effects of copper oxide nanoparticles coupled with vitamin-E (CuONPs+VE) was investigated with the aim of controlling the oxidative cell damage in seafood by estimating Reacting Oxygen Species (ROS) using 2’,7’- dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCF) and preventing microbial spoilage by studying the cell viability using MTT assay in the present study. The MTT assay reveals that the CuONPs+VE inhibited the metabolic activity of spoilage bacteria which was confirmed from the inhibition percentage values against the test organisms. The CuONPs+VE exposed Escherichia coli reduced upto 86 ± 0.57% after enumerating the CFU in a Plate Count Agar media. Salmonella sp and Shigella sp exhibited 89 ± 1.04% and 85 ± 0.25% respectively. The qualitative inhibitory effect of Nanometal vitamin complex against three test bacteria, were evaluated by agar diffusion method. Among the four different concentrations of Nanometal vitamin complex, the higher concentration (4X – 40μg/ml) exhibited maximum inhibitory effects in terms of zone of clearance. Against Escherichia coli, 12.3 ± 1.25mm of inhibitory zones were found evident. Salmonella sp showed 15.6 ± 0.57mm of inhibitory zones and Shigella sp revealed the inhibition zone of about 16.6 ± 1.04mm. The anti-oxidative defence mechanisms operating in the cells for scavenging of ROS was performed using DCF. The cells which are pre-incubated with CuONPs+VE and then exposed to H2O2 show insignificant green emission indicating a clear advantage of the nanoparticle form of vitamin-E (CuONPs+VE) in preventing oxidative cell death.

Williams-Beuren Syndrome Detected with Constipation and Murmur Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare disease that occurs as a result of microdeletion of 11.23 of the long arm of chromosome 7, with a frequency of 1/20.000-30.000. Typical facial appearance, mental retardation, various congenital cardiovascular anomalies and endocrinological disorders may accompany this syndrome. In cases suspected as a result of clinical and laboratory findings, the diagnosis is made by showing the deletion of the mentioned region using the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) method. We detected WBS in a 17-month-old male patient who presented with chronic constipation and had peripheral pulmonary stenosis in echocardiography performed with accompanying clinical findings, and aimed to emphasize the importance of multidimensional evaluation and early diagnosis. Keywords: Congenital heart disease, pulmonary stenosis, microdeletion syndromes, constipation, Williams-Beuren syndrome

In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) doped with Sn thin films were deposited on the glass substrate at 550 °C by dip-coating technique using the solution synthesized by sol-gel method. The structural, surface morphology, optical and photocatalytic property of thin films were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the Sn-doping greatly changed the microstructure, morphology and optical properties of ZnO films, which may contribute to the enhancement of photocatalytic activity. Additionally, the photocatalytic activity was investigated using methylene blue  dye under solar irradiation, with has high UV index from 7 to 8. The results indicated that Sn-doped ZnO had a higher photocatalytic activity and Sn dopant greatly increased the photocatalytic activity of ZnO thin film.

Nanoflower MoS2, nanowire TiO2(NNW) and 3D MoS2/TiO2 nano-heterostructure have been synthesized successfully by simple typical hydrothermal reaction method followed by 200oC calcination under an argon atmosphere. The prepared samples are characterized in detail by XRD, FESEM, UV-vis DRS, EDX and BET. The results suggest that the TiO2 NNW is successfully coupled with MoS2 to form the heterojunction nanostructure. The hybrid heterostructures can effectively utilize visible-light and solar energy to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The degradation rate of 2,4-D is as high as 99%. The improved photocatalytic activity owes to the decreased band-gap and the heterosurface properties of MoS2/TiO2, promoting the electron-hole pairs separation and absorption capacity to visible light. This work presents a facile approach for fabricating the MoS2/TiO2 heterostructures for efficient photocatalytic 2,4-D solution, which will facilitate the development of designing photo catalysts applied in environment and energy.

The present study investigated adsorption of 2,4-dichorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) on titania (TiO2) nanoparticles with surface modification by cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Titania nanoparticles which were successfully synthesized by sol-gel method, were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Surface modification of TiO2 with CTAB enhanced the removal of 2,4-D significantly. Some effective conditions affect to the removal of 2,4-D using CTAB modified TiO2 such as pH and adsorbent dosage were systematically studied and found to be 5 and 10 mg/mL, respectively. Adsorption mechanisms of 2,4-D onto CTAB modified TiO2 was suggested based on the change in surface charge after adsorption.
