Published: July 2023

Although complaints of nausea, vomiting are considered normal for pregnant women and do not harm the fetus in the womb. However, if the frequency of nausea and vomiting is excessive, you still have to watch out for it. Nausea followed by severe vomiting can be a sign of a disturbance in pregnancy and nausea and vomiting often occurs in pregnancy, around 60% - 70% of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting, especially in the first trimester. The aim of this research was to find out the effectiveness of using mint leaves as an effort to reduce emesis gravidarum. This research method uses quantitative methods with pre-experiments using a one group pretest-posttest design. The research population was first trimester pregnant women who experienced emesis gravidarum at the Rejosari Pekanbaru Health Center with a sample size of 31 respondents with a sampling technique using purposive sampling. Based on the univariate results, it was found that the distribution of emesis gravidarum before administration of mint leaves showed at most degree 2 with a total of 26 (83.9%) respondents. Bivariate analysis used the Parametric Test using the Dependent T Test (Paired T Test) with an average frequency of emesis gravidarum before administration of mint leaves was 7.10 times with a standard deviation of 2.103 times. At the frequency of emesis gravidarum after administration of mint leaves, the average emesis was 4.26 times with a standard deviation of 1.527 times. It can be seen that the mean difference before and after giving mint leaves is 2.84 times with a standard deviation of 0.576 times. The statistical test results obtained a value of 0.000, so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between before and after giving mint leaves.

Uterine fundal height measurement using Leopold method is the one of the learning outcome in antenatal care course that must be achieved by midwifery students. For practical teaching in laboratory, the lecturer and the students usually use a phantom with synthetic rubber material. As it made of synthetic rubber, this phantom become stiff and lack of real tactile sensation to measure fundal height. This research aimed to make a simple maternity jacket as practical teaching aid which fabricable and affordable so the students can determine the fundal height boundary. This study used research and development method. The number of respondents was 32 with purposive sampling and 2 experts. This research taken place in Midwifery Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes sorong from April to November 2021. The research instrument use questionnaire. The data was analyzed by converting the qualitative form to quantitative using Likert scale, and the mean score result was converted back to qualitative form. Feasibility analysis by calculating the score of the respondents’ assessment results compared to the ideal score. The results showed that the respondents strongly agreed that this product is feasible with feasibility percentage of 96.5%. Based on the results of the assessment, it is expected that this product can be used as a practical teaching aid and can improve students' skills in fundal height measurement.  Further research is  needed for the development of this practical teaching aids so that it can be used for a complete Leopold examination.

Published: July 2023

M. abscessus var. abscessus and M. abscessus var. massiliense are fast growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria that cause skin and soft tissue infections. We present a 32-year-old female that initiated her current condition two years ago prior her medical assessment due to an event of cellulitis in the front part of her legs and later on being in contact with contaminated water. Two weeks later after the exposure she developed a dermatosis in the same region characterized by disabling pain, intermittent fever and edema without achieving improvement after being treated with multiple topic treatments. For these reasons, extension studies were carried out to get to the diagnosis of infection related to Mycobacterium abscessus var. massiliense, this gave the opportunity to give a successful therapeutic approach. Finally, after being treated for a month, an adequate evolution was obtained.
Are they Similar or are they Same Origin, Persian Language and Korean Language? (0153-0163)
Authors: Kim Sangdeog Augustin
Published: July 2023

French missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that Korean language is different from Chinese language. Several researchers studied the relation between Persian words and Korean words (Park et al., 2019: Kim and Park, 2022). The present researcher tried to find out the relation between Persian language and Korean language. The researcher selected several Persian words, and imagined possible counter-part Korean words. The present researcher used a Dictionary of Persian/French and French/Persian (Bau, 2008). This study was done on the basis of pronunciation of the two languages.

Ectopic Cyclic Cushing's syndrome, A Diagnostic Challenge: A Case Report
Authors: Acosta Sandra Aidee Gómez , López Alma Vergara
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Cyclic Cushing's syndrome is a not widely known pathology with low incidence; however, an increase in the number of cases has been observed in recent years. The intermittent clinical symptoms and discordant laboratory results make it a complicated diagnosis; therefore, close follow-up is crucial. We describe a case of ectopic cyclic Cushing's syndrome in a woman in her seventies who presented weight gain, proximal myopathy, moderate hypokalemia and uncontrolled hypertension; in the first evaluation hypercortisolism was found, however, 2 months later cortisol presented normal levels. Subsequently, a close follow-up was carried out and the study protocol was continued once the presence of 3 peaks and 2 valleys was demonstrated, obtaining compatible values for ectopic ACTH-dependent cyclic Cushing's syndrome. In thoracoabdominal MRI a spiculated lesion was found in the left basal lung field surrounding 25% of the aorta. Due to the location of the lesion, the patient refused surgical treatment, being currently under adequate control with the use of ketoconazole and octreotide injections. Conclusions: The possibility of cyclic Cushing's syndrome diagnosis should be kept in mind in those patients with symptoms suggestive of Cushing's syndrome that remit sporadically and whose laboratory studies show intermittent results of hypercortisolism and normocortisolism, since early identification allows opportune treatment and therefore better prognosis.
Treatment of GERD Irrespective of Symptoms and Severity in COPD: To be or not to be!
Authors: Patil Shital , Gondhali Gajanan
Published: July 2023

COPD and GERD more commonly diagnosed and frequently reported health issues due to overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms and now considered as ‘two sides of same coin’. COPD related anatomical changes and medications will alter the course of existing GERD and increase the risk of new onset GERD. Proximal and distal anatomical locations of GERD have variable presentations such as worsening of COPD, acute non-infective exacerbations, recurrent cough, and respiratory failure. Proximal pathways involve direct lung injury by means of microaspiration of gastric contents and microbiological colonization. Distal pathway involves indirect mechanisms by sharing common anatomical and embryological developments with involvement of vagus nerve mediated noradrenergic cholinergic mediator’s related effects on bronchi and bronchioles. Both proximal and distal pathways have effects on lung functions. GERD has negative impact on natural course of COPD and exists in asymptomatic and symptomatic types. Prevalence of GERD should be actively sought in all COPD cases to prevent exacerbations, decrease lung functions decline, lower the risk of clinical and physiological worsening, and overall cost of care because of these high index issues. PPI therapy has significant effects on patients with COPD in reducing the number of acute attacks, adverse reactions, and mortality. Recurrent exacerbations need GERD to be ruled out in all cases of COPD to have successful treatment outcome. Only symptomatic cases treatment has shown positive outcome in GERD with COPD. Hence, ‘to be or not to be is the real question’ and no treatment is recommended for asymptomatic GERD cases with COPD irrespective of disease severity.
Campylobacteriosis in Poultry: A Review
Authors: Sadek Sabry A. S. , Shaapan Raafat M. , Barakat Ashraf M. A.
Published: July 2023

Campylobacter is common in poultry, including layer and broiler chickens, geese, ducks, and turkeys. This review aimed to emphasize the prevalence of campylobacteriosis, recent poultry diagnoses, and strict prevention measures. Campylobacter species colonize the intestines of poultry and waterfowl but are generally nonpathogenic in poultry. However, they are the most common bacterial cause of sporadic human enteritis in both developed and developing countries. The main species responsible for campylobacteriosis is Campylobacter jejuni, followed by Campylobacter coli. A number of other Campylobacter species, such as Campylobacter lari, fetus, upsaliensis, and hyointestinalis are rarely associated with campylobacteriosis. Campylobacter hepaticus is the species linked to spotty liver disease in layers and breeder chickens, and it may be the etiological agent of the disease previously known as avian vibrionic hepatitis. The most prevalent infection source for Campylobacter is environmental contamination from poultry droppings. However, some Campylobacter species can be transmitted vertically, either on the surface of eggs or via trans-ovarian transmission in addition to consumption of contaminated feed or water. Due to the non-specific clinical signs such as diarrhea and weight loss, diagnosing campylobacteriosis in poultry requires culture or polymerase chain reaction tests. Little is known about the available vaccine or effective antibiotic treatment due to the rapid development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, strict biosecurity measures play a crucial role in preventing Campylobacter infection in commercial poultry. These measures include decontaminating housing between flocks, preventing the entry of rodents, wild birds, and animals, and eradicating insects. To control campylobacteriosis and reduce infection risks, it is important to implement efficient on-farm biosecurity measures, conduct regular inspections of workers at meat processing plants and poultry farms, and ensure thorough preparation of chicken meat and eggs before consumption. These measures are vital in minimizing the Campylobacter transmission from both broiler and laying chickens, thereby reducing the risk of foodborne diseases caused by contaminated food.

Published: July 2023

Since the European Union banned the use of antibiotic growth promoters in poultry feed in 2006 (EC Regulation No 1831/2003), alternative feed additives have been investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a bioherbal combination of probiotics and phytobiotics as a feed additive in drinking water on the performance and intestinal characteristics of male laying chickens. The study was performed on 200 male laying chickens for 60 days. This research method was a field experiment with a completely randomized design, consisting of four treatments and five replications. The treatments were T0 (drinking water without bioherbal, control), T1 (control + bioherbal code 1 M), T2 (control + bioherbal code 2 H), and T3 (control + bioherbal combination of 1M and 2H). The investigated parameters included growth performance and intestinal profile of the male laying chickens. The addition of bioherbal increased the number of villi in the intestines of the male laying chickens; however, there was no significant difference among other parameters. It can be concluded that the addition of bioherbal code 2H as a feed additive with a composition of herbal leaves can improve the performance and intestinal characteristics of male laying chickens.
Effects of Replacing Maize by Proso Millet on Performance of Broiler Chickens
Authors: Khali Melad Anwar , Tarsha Hassan Adham , Kussaibati Riad Jamil
Published: July 2023

The continual rise in the cost of poultry feed ingredients, the fluctuations in price and the comparatively insufficient maize supply have prompted a search for less expensive alternatives. This research study was carried out to investigate the impact of a partial or total replacement of maize with proso millet on performance parameters of broiler chickens, including live body weight, feed conversion ratio, mortality rate and carcass yield. An experiment was carried out using 160 one-day-old broiler chicks of a commercial breed. The chicks were randomly assigned to 5 groups of 32. They consumed different isoprotein and isocaloric diets in which maize was replaced by proso millet at 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100% inclusion rates as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. Results showed that all broiler chickens fed on diets containing different rates of millet instead of maize significantly improved live body weight, feed conversion ratio, and carcass yield for females and males compared to T1. Additionally, it was observed that there was a significant decrease in the relative weight of the liver for females and males compared to T1. The use of millet in diets did not negatively affect the broilers’ health, and the mortality rate was low throughout the experiment. These results confirmed that maize could be replaced by proso millet in broiler chicken diets up to 100%.

Is “Inflation First” Really “Rentiers First”? The Taylor Rule and Rentier Income in Industrialized Countries
Authors:   Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Ottawa, Seccareccia Mario , Matamoros Guillermo ,   Doctoral candidate of economics also at the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Published: July 2023

The Taylor rule has returned as a significant policy guide amid increasingly overt political pressures for its official (and not just its implicit) adoption at the US Fed as inflation fears have come to dominate monetary policy actions both in the US and internationally in recent times. Our paper analyzes the effect of monetary policy on the functional distribution of income by reconstructing how the post-1970s “inflation first” policy commitments of central banks came to be crystallized in the Taylor rule. While there are differences among the various specifications of this “rule”, the Taylor relation is merely an offshoot of what can be described generically as the family of Wicksellian reaction functions whose implications support rentier income over time. Because of the internal logic of the Taylor rule, this has led to different interpretations such as, for example, the more Keynesian Yellen rule, which depart from the strict sense of the Taylor rule. The paper also interprets the Taylor Rule in light of Wicksell’s formulation and analyzes the potential consequence of the differences. In contrast to the strict Wicksell rule of “proportional” adjustment, our econometric findings suggest evidence that central banks adjust “over-proportionally” the benchmark money interest rate in the presence of changes in the inflation rate for the complete “inflation first” era since the 1970s until the COVID-19 crisis. They thereby strongly favored rentier incomes in their reaction functions, with the possible exception of the post-financial crisis period. To limit the pro-rentier consequences of such inflation-targeting regimes, it is important that policymakers mandate multiple objectives for central banks, as exemplified in the current US Fed’s dual mandate.

Ramsey Numbers of Large Even Cycles and Fans
Authors: You Chunlin , Qizhong Lin
Published: July 2023

For graphs $F$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(F, H)$ is the smallest positive integer $N$ such that any red/blue edge coloring of $K_N$ contains either a red $F$ or a blue $H$. Let $C_n$ be a cycle of length $n$ and $F_n$ be a fan consisting of $n$ triangles all sharing a common vertex.In this paper, we prove that for all sufficiently large $n$,\[R(C_{2\lfloor an\rfloor}, F_n)= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}(2+2a+o(1))n & \textrm{if $1/2\leq a< 1$,}\\(4a+o(1))n & \textrm{if $ a\geq 1$.}\end{array} \right.\]
Graph Rigidity Properties of Ramanujan Graphs
Authors: Cioabă Sebastian , Dewar Sean , Grasegger Georg , Gu Xiaofeng
Published: July 2023

A recent result of Cioabă, Dewar and Gu implies that any $k$-regular Ramanujan graph with $k \geq 8$ is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$. In this paper, we extend these results and prove that any $k$-regular Ramanujan graph of sufficiently large order is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$ when $k\in \{6, 7\}$, and when $k\in \{4,5\}$ if it is also vertex-transitive. These results imply that the Ramanujan graphs constructed by Morgenstern in 1994 are globally rigid. We also prove several results on other types of framework rigidity, including body-bar rigidity, body-hinge rigidity, and rigidity on surfaces of revolution. In addition, we use computational methods to determine which Ramanujan graphs of small order are globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
Splitting Matchings and the Ryser-Brualdi-Stein Conjecture for Multisets
Authors: Anastos Michael , Fabian David , Müyesser Alp , Szabó Tibor
Published: July 2023

We study multigraphs whose edge-sets are the union of three perfect matchings, $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$. Given such a graph $G$ and any $a_1,a_2,a_3\in \mathbb{N}$ with $a_1+a_2+a_3\leq n-2$, we show there exists a matching $M$ of $G$ with $|M\cap M_i|=a_i$ for each $i\in \{1,2,3\}$. The bound $n-2$ in the theorem is best possible in general.We conjecture however that if $G$ is bipartite, the same result holds with $n-2$ replaced by $n-1$. We give a construction that shows such a result would be tight. We also make a conjecture generalising the Ryser-Brualdi-Stein conjecture with colour multiplicities.
Extremal Independent Set Reconfiguration
Authors: Bousquet Nicolas , Durain Bastien , Théo Pierron  , Thomassé Stéphan
Published: July 2023

The independent set reconfiguration problem asks whether one can transform one given independent set of a graph into another, by changing vertices one by one in such a way the intermediate sets remain independent. Extremal problems on independent sets are widely studied: for example, it is well known that an $n$-vertex graph has at most $3^{n/3}$ maximum independent sets (and this is tight). This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of maximum possible length of a shortest reconfiguration sequence for independent sets of size $k$ among all $n$-vertex graphs. We give a tight bound for $k=2$. We also provide a subquadratic upper bound (using the hypergraph removal lemma) as well as an almost tight construction for $k=3$. We generalize our results for larger values of $k$ by proving an $n^{2\lfloor k/3 \rfloor}$ lower bound.
Applying Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory to an Event Management Course: Practical Guidelines for Educators
Authors: Rossetti Giulia
Published: July 2023

While experiential learning is well established in higher education, several scholars called for more studies on how to embed it for event management students. This article aims to answer these calls by investigating student and instructor perspectives on delivering a live event for
a postgraduate course in an English university. It uses primary as well as secondary data from previous studies to suggest how to plan an experiential learning course. Findings provide practical recommendations to educators in relation to four elements: teaching content; resources and support;
assessment; and links to employability. While doing so, Kolb's cycle is reviewed and a new model of experiential learning for event management students is suggested. Thus, this article expands the current debate on experiential learning and suggests practical guidelines for event management
educators.

Data Privacy, Conceptual Framework for IoT Based Devices in Healthcare: A Systematic Review
Authors: Luvaha Elton , Ronoh Lamek , Abila James
Published: July 2023

With the rollout of the Fifth-Generation network, more Internet of Things (IoT) devices tend to increase, which increases the amount of data being shared by the devices. It is complex to secure data transmission and device-to-device communication due to the vast number of IoT devices and the complexity of networks. The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved to enable everyday things and gadgets to connect digitally and communicate with one another, using technologies that send, gather, and analyse data from people using those objects and devices. IoT data privacy risks are widespread use. The primary objective of information technology (IT) security in Web 2.0 was to ensure the privacy, accuracy, and reliability of systems and communications. As a result of IoT devices’ often limited CPU power for longer-lasting activities, these conventional metrics, however, exhibit measurable constraints. IoT security is, therefore, critical in the context of guaranteeing security through the data privacy of IoT users. The author conducted a literature methodological analysis on the data privacy framework that will help to safeguard the 5G IoT-enabled devices on user data, technologies for data privacy in 5 G-based IoT devices, data privacy dangers associated with 5G IoT devices, and data privacy attack surfaces in 5G IoT devices
Governance in Europe: insights from a survey among actors involved in local state-society relations
Authors: Heinelt Hubert
Published: July 2023

This article presents results of an empirical study on local governance in a number of European countries carried out by a group of scholars who has conducted surveys of various local political actors for many years. The results of these studies, which have been published in two books, will be assessed with regard to central questions of the governance debate. These include, among other things, questions of the understanding of democracy as well as the representational claims of the social actors involved. Moreover, it is emphasised that surveys are central to finding out how actors assess institutional conditions under which they have to act, i.?e. how they perceive institutional opportunities and limitations for their political choices.

The Role of the Otherworldly and Real elements in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Authors: Walia Rishabh , Chauhan Laxmi Rawat
Published: July 2023

Coleridge has offered his readers with a "nature and otherworldly" combination in his poetry that is both unique and impressive. Coleridge believes that man is surrounded by environment and that it is a special honour to be able to comprehend what he sees. Though written in the romantic style, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is often considered as a masterwork of mystical poetry because to the poet's sense of wonder and the wide range of topics it addresses. On the other hand, it teaches its readership that no wrongdoing, no matter how little, will be tolerated. The article investigates how Coleridge balances earthly and otherworldly elements in the poem.

Published: July 2023

Self-efficacy in information literacy refers to the individual's confidence in his ability to locate, evaluate, and use information to accomplish a goal. This concurrent nested mixed method explored the college students’ self-efficacy in information literacy in relation to their research academic skills. There were 81 fourth-year college students enrolled in the program of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology in a satellite campus of a state university in Misamis Oriental. The instrument’s validity and reliability were ensured through panel review and reliability test using the Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. Findings reveal that participants’ research academic skills were generally very good, indicating that they performed well on their capstone research project and their self-efficacy on information literacy skills were generally all high. Self-efficacy in information literacy skills in terms of synthesizing and creating significantly influenced the research academic skills. Strengthened research capability emerged as the theme which contributed good in academic research skills. It was concluded that students who had high self-efficacy in information literacy skills were more likely to feel confident in their ability to conduct effective research and use information effectively, thus contributing to effective research academic skills. This study points the need to develop and implement innovative information literacy programs.
Exploring Bibliotherapy as Psychological intervention for law undergraduates: A look at Autobiographies in a Library setting
Authors: Ogba Chidinma Onwuchekwa , Olusola Abiodun Emmanuel
Published: July 2023

Undergraduate Law Students training is organized in such a way that they can multi-task through diverse activities ranging from classroom discussions, understanding the principles of law and mastering legal arguments, participating in mock and moot trial, clinical legal education and studying. These activities make them become better lawyers after graduation however they have also become challenges documented to lead to psychological trauma for some students. Extensive literature review, content analysis as well as interview methods were used. The conceptual framework of the study was based on analysis of 3 Autobiographies and literature review. Autobiographies by Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie were selected. They are: “Where is your Wrapper”, “Speaking above a whisper” and “We should all be Feminist”. Texts from these autobiographies that answered the research questions were selected for annotations; they providence research evidence showing that autobiographies can be used as bibliotherapy intervention in handling psychological trauma that could arouse from activities in law faculty environment.  A structured interview carried out on a medical doctor (director) in a government hospital, when placed in juxtaposition with results of literature review, showed that law environment is not the only stressor to undergraduate law students.  Background factors to each student were also found to contribute to psychological trauma in law environment. Hence it was concluded that bibliotherapy was essential intervention technique for undergraduate law students. It was further shown that academic law libraries can be a medium of bibliotherapy intervention for law undergraduates.

Variable selection by searching for good subsets
Authors: Venter J. H. , de Jongh P. J.
Published: July 2023

Machine learning and statistical models are increasingly used in a prediction context and in the process of building these models the question of which variables to include often arises. Over the last 50 years a number of procedures have been proposed, especially in the statistical literature. In this paper a newvariable selection procedure is introduced for linear models. A subset of variables is defined here to be “good at margin λ” if it has two properties, namely (i) its associated criterion of fit will be improved in relative terms by less than λ if any variable is added to it, and (ii) its criterion of fit will deteriorate in relative terms by at least λ if any variable inside it, is dropped from it. Thus, such a subset contains all variables that are individually important and none that are unimportant at a given margin λ ≥ 0. This paper discusses calculation of such λ-good subsets. The “good” approach extends readily to generalised linear and many other models by using an appropriate criterion of performance. The approach is illustrated on an artificial data set and a number of real data sets.

SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and beyond: The impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on Turkish youth and their attitude toward future prospects
Authors: Turkmen Lale , Tekedere Hakan
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The impact of SARS-CoV-2 is intergenerational, and although it affects everyone differently, its effects on young people have been systematic, violent, and disproportionate compared to many social groups. This study aims to understand the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on Turkish youth and their attitude toward future prospects.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out between March 15 and May 20, 2022, with young people aged 18–29 living in Turkey. The data was collected using an online survey tool. In descriptive statistical analyses, categorical variables were presented as frequency and percentage, and continuous variables as mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). The independent samples t-test and the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test between-group differences in continuous variables.
Results: In total, 696 participants responded to the online survey. For the majority of Turkish young people, SARS-CoV-2 has not impacted their physical health (55.7%) and mental health (57.8 %). In contrast, youth believe that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic will negatively or strongly affect their future in terms of educational opportunities (58.7%), job prospects (58.6%), physical (58.1%), or mental health well-being (56.9%), economic stability (65.1%), financial stability (65.1%), and their overall future (58.2%).
Conclusions: Our findings pointed to adverse effects that would last longer than the pandemic. Priority should be given to strategies that reduce the long-term impact of the pandemic on young people and provide them with a sense of optimism that the future they desire is still achievable.
New alternative therapeutic strategies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic multi-resistant pathogen with a myriad of virulence factors

Published: July 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) has emerged as a significant cause of Gram-negative infections, particularly in patients with impaired host defenses. It is one of the six ESKAPE pathogens that majorly cause severe nosocomial infections. In addition to biofilm formation, PA possesses various virulence factors. It can be life-threatening due to his remarkable capacity to resist antibiotics, either intrinsically, developing adaptative resistance, or following the acquisition of resistance genes. The situation worsens when these mechanisms co-exist, conferring worrying multi-resistant phenotypes. Therapeutic options are becoming limited, which has led to the development of new antibiotics and novel alternative therapeutic strategies that require the exploration of other therapeutic avenues. Although mostly at the preclinical stages, many recent studies have reported several innovative therapeutic technologies that have demonstrated pronounced effectiveness in fighting against drug-resistant Pa strains. This literature review aims to discuss the mechanism of pyocyanic bacillus resistance to antibiotics, highlight the current state of some novel antibiotics and combination therapies, and the new alternative therapeutic approaches for treating PA infections.

Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) defines brain inflammation caused by a misdirected immune response against self-antigens expressed in the central nervous system. AIE encompasses a group of non-infectious immune-mediated inflammatory disorders of the brain parenchyma often involving the cortical or deep gray matter with or without involvement of the white matter, meninges, or the spinal cord. Suggested mechanisms that may trigger AIE include tumors (paraneoplastic), infections (para-infectious), or it may be cryptogenic. This study represents a review of the common forms of AIE, exploring their causes, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. The previous and ongoing investigations in this field have been driven by the identification of several pathogenic autoantibodies that cause polysymptomatic neuropsychiatric and neurological diseases. AIE comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders that are at least as common as infectious causes of encephalitis. Early treatment is associated with better prognosis and is crucial for the prevention of severe complications. The underlying mechanisms for activation and autoimmune response in the CNS are still unclear. Further investigations are needed to better explain how immune mechanisms affect nervous system functions.
A molecular phylogeny of Hexapoda
Authors: Kjer Karl , Carle Frank , Litman Jesse , Ware Jessica
Published: July 2023

We present a supermatrix approach to the phylogeny of Insecta that stemmed from a talk given at the 2nd Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny (2005). The data included a fragment of the 28S (D1–D8) and complete sequences for the 18S, histone (H3), EF-1α, COI, COII, the 12S and 16S plus the intervening tRNA, and 170 morphological characters. Ribosomal RNA sequences were manually aligned to secondary structure. Two separate Bayesian likelihood analyses were performed, as well as a weighted parsimony analysis, on combined data. Partitioned datasets were also explored. Expected clades like Hexapoda, Insecta, Dicondylia, Pterygota, Neoptera, Dictyoptera, Paraneoptera, and Endopterygota were consistently recovered. However, conflicting hypotheses from independent datasets, as well as a lack of quantitative support from the combined supermatrix, suggest that the elucidation of relationships between non-holometabolous neopteran orders is far from resolved. Substitution rate heterogeneity among lineages, missing intermediate taxa, near simultaneous divergences, flawed phylogenetic models and nucleotide compositional bias are discussed as possible causes for unresolved interordinal relationships. The capacity of this dataset to convey information, its inherent limitations, and the role and responsibility of the systematist in interpreting data are explored
Notes on Neotropical Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae), IV: lectotype designations of Aulacizes Amyot & Audinet-Serville species described by Germar and revalidation of A. erythrocephala (Germar, 1821)
Authors: Mejdalani Gabriel , Takiya Daniela , Carvalho Rachel
Published: July 2023

Lectotypes are designated for the sharpshooter species Aulacizes erythrocephala (Germar, 1821) and A. quadripunctata (Germar, 1821) based on recently located specimens from the Germar collection. The former species is reinstated from synonymy of the latter one and is redescribed and illustrated based on specimens from Southeastern Brazil. The male and female genitalia are described for the fi rst time. The two species are similar morphologically, but they can be easily distinguished from each other, as well as from the other species of the genus, by their color patterns
Insect interordinal relationships: Evidence from the visual system
Authors: Friedrich Markus , Dong Ying , Jackowska Magdalena
Published: July 2023

Insects are by far the most speciose and also one of the most intensively studied animal groups on earth. To contribute to a recent effort in reviewing and revalidating morphological and molecular data sets for the reconstruction of insect interordinal phylogeny, we turned our attention to structural and ontogenetic traits of the visual system. Discussed is a suite of characters, nine of which are proposed to show phylogenetically informative differences between insect orders. Of these, three (second mitotic wave, retina blood border, indirect ocellus innervation) relate to basal diversifi cation events in the Pterygota. Four character states represent autapomorphies of the Endopterygota (optic lobe invagination, possession of stemma, stemmata derived adult brain photoreceptors, and postembryonic progressive eye development). Lastly, the spatially undissociated lobula plate in hymenopteran representatives like honey bee, which contrasts with the well separated lobula plate in other endopterygotan orders, is discussed as possibly indicating a basal position of the Hymenoptera in the Endopterygota.
Phylogeny of the terrestrial Isopoda (Oniscidea): a review
Authors: Schmidt Christian
Published: July 2023

Recent hypotheses on the phylogeny of the Oniscidea are summarized. The position of the Oniscidea in the phylogenetic system of the Isopoda is discussed. Within the Oniscidea, phylogenetic relationships are considered mainly down to „family“ level. Well founded monophyletic clades are discussed and unresolved and problematic regions are pointed out. A list of probable autapomorphies is given for each taxon. The knowledge on the fossil record of Oniscidea is reviewed briefly. Finally it is concluded that we need phylogenetic analyses down to species level in order to construe a robust phylogeny hypothesis for higher oniscidean taxa. An indispensable requirement for this is taxonomic revisions.
