The Peasant Question in Policy of RCP(b) – CP(b)U in 1918 – 1923: Sources of Totalitarianism. The article analyses attitude of Bolshevik congresses of RCP(b) and CP(b)U to agricultural question in 1918 – 1923. It marks out the main features of Bolshevik policy as for peasantry that caused forming of totalitarian regime: ignoring of the entire social class interests, absence of scientific explanation and party discussion of the ways as for solving agricultural question, declarative character of Bolshevik policy especially in Ukraine. RCP(b) did not develop their own program of solving peasant question when rising to power in 1917. RCP(b) could determine its position only at the beginning of 1919 and in 1923. Ukrainian Bolsheviks stayed between the necessity to implement principles of proletarian internationalism and the reaction of merely Ukrainian environment to it. The peculiarity of CP(b)U activity was in earlier appeal to peasant question in 1918, but Ukrainian Bolsheviks underestimated the potential of peasants movement. Alexander Shumskyi, Yakov Yakovlev, Volodymir Zatonskyi and Andrey Bubnov supported Ukrainian peculiarities in agricultural question.

Th e formation of the Soviet discourse of the historical and chronological matrix (scheme), so called „Lenin’s concept of the working class and peasantry alliance during the Revolution and Civil War” has been enlightened. Th e infl uence of Bolshevism ideology on the historical science has been shown. Th e reasons of Soviet historical narrative fl uctuation in Ukrainian „Marxist school” historiography of the 1920 – 1930-ies have been defi ned. Th e idea of the „Marxist historiography” going through a period of disengagement and uncertainity concerning the solution of national and social components of history under conditions of totalitarian USSR society has been grounded. It is evident that its social paradigm was close to the national concept, while the ideological pressure of the totalitarian system and political control of the government forced the Ukrainian Soviet historians to prioritize the development of the 1917 – 1920 Proletarian Revolution and Civil War class schema in Ukraine.

Russian Federation’s attack of February 24, 2022 on Ukraine was no coincidence but a strategy to regain the status of superpower. Referring to history was its significant part. Indeed, that is a shared history, at least in the origin, though differently interpreted by both states, independent from 31 years. Based on the promoted from 16th Century vision of Russia as the Byzantine Empire’ successor, Putin’s Russian Federation claims the right to build an empire that would include all lands of the Russian Empire. It does not recognise independent statehood and Ukrainian nationality. The war was started to achieve that goal.

Aim. To compare the expression of enzymes of the ceramide de novo synthesis pathway in cardiac adipose tissue (AT) and blood vessels of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and acquired heart defects.

Material and methods. The study included 20 patients with CAD and 18 patients with aortic stenosis/regurgitation. Biopsies of subcutaneous, epicardial, perivascular AT (SCAT, EAT, PVAT, respectively) were obtained during surgery. Quantitative PCR test was used to evaluate the gene expression of de novo ceramide synthesis enzymes (serine palmitoyltransferase C1 and C2: SPTLC1, SPTLC2; ceramide synthase 1-6: CERS1-6; dihydroceramide desaturase: DEGS1). Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8 (GraphPad Software).

Results. Patients with CAD were characterized by a higher level of mRNA SPTLC1 in SCAT and EAT, SPTLC2, CERS1, producing C18 ceramides, CERS5 and CERS6, generating C14-C16 ceramides in EAT, CERS2 — in SCAT, producing long-chain ceramides C20-C24, CERS4, synthesizing very long-chain ceamides C18-C20. In PVAT, a high expression of CERS4 and CERS3, which synthesizes very long-chain ceramides C26 and higher, was revealed. DEGS1 expression was highest in SCAT and EAT. In patients with heart defects, there was a high expression of CERS3 in PVAT, CERS4 in EAT and PVAT, DEGS1 in EAT. The mRNA level of SPTLC1 in SCAT and EAT, SPTLC2 in EAT, CERS2 in all studied AT, CERS4 and 5 in EAT, DEGS1 in SCAT and EAT among patients with CAD was higher than in the comparison group.

Conclusion. Regional fat depots of the heart differed in the level of expression of enzymes of the ceramide de novo synthesis pathway. The results obtained indicate the activation of ceramide synthesis along this pathway in predominantly epicardial adipocytes in coronary pathology, which may contribute to the accumulation of long-chain ceramides in the AT of this localization.

Published: January 2023

During the last decades, biochar (BC) gained increasing importance amongst scholars. Though, only a few studies explored the effects of the combined application of BC with manure on plant growth and nutrient concentrations. This study investigates the effects of separate and joint applications of goat manure (GM) and its derived BC on the growth and mineral element concentrations in lettuce. A completely random design was used in the field experiment. Two factors consisted of GM, BC at 5 Mg ha-1 and 10 Mg ha-1 combined with inorganic fertilizers [nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK)] at 100%, 50%, and 0% were applied to the soil before planting the lettuce and, ANOVA analysis and Duncan test (at α=5%) were conducted. The results showed that a joint application of inorganic and organic fertilizers affects significantly the yield and yield parameters of the lettuce whilst the separate application of organic fertilizer affects significantly the lettuce content in N, P, K, Ca and Mg. Compared to GM, the application of GM-derived BC increases significantly the lettuce content in Zn and decreases its content in Cu. In addition, the highest total yield of lettuce was obtained with a joint combination of GM, BC, and 100% NPK (100 kg N ha-1, 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 100 kg K2O ha-1). Consequently, this combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers is favorable fertilization in producing lettuce.

Authors: ÖZKAN Kübra , KARADAĞ Ayşe , SAĞDIÇ Osman
Published: January 2023

Cherry laurel is a less known fruit species with an astringent taste and is mostly consumed as fresh fruit only in the Black Sea and Marmara regions of Turkey. Cherry laurel (Laurocerasus officinalis Roemer) leaves can be prepared in different forms such as infusion by steeping the dried leaf in boiled water and as an extract for its further use as a food supplement or ingredient. In thisstudy, aqueous and ethanol extracts of cherry laurel leaves were prepared and examined in terms of total phenolic compound (TPC), total flavonoid compound (TFC), antioxidant capacities using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and the copper reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) assays after submitting to in vitro digestion. Additionally, theantimicrobial potential of the leaves extract was evaluated. The TPC of ethanol and aqueous extracts were found at 17.62 and 0.83 mg gallic acid equivalent GAE.g-1 leaves and the TFC of ethanol and aqueous extracts were determined as 11.61 and 0.47 mg catechin equivalent CE.g-1 leaves, respectively. In terms of antioxidant activity results, ethanol and aqueous extracts had 41.11 and 0.77mg Trolox equivalent TE.g-1 leaves for the DPPH assay, and 67.05 and 1.63 mg TE.g-1 leaves for the CUPRAC assay. After gastric digestion post-gastric (PG), compared to the initial values significantly lower recovery of the TPC (11.2 and 41%) and TFC (5.8 and 14.9 %) was observed for ethanol and aqueous extracts. The recovery of TPC, TFC values after the intestinal fraction waslower compared to the PG fraction for ethanol extracts, whereas for aqueous extracts they were higher compared to the PG fraction. The highest inhibition zone was observed against Listeria monocytogenes and Aspergillus niger when 10% extract concentration was applied. The experimental data verified that these extracts displayed remarkable antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, and the extraction method was important in terms of the bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds.

Published: January 2023

As the global consumers’ demand towards minimally processed freshlike foods has been continuously increasing, efforts to develop novel food processing technologies have been intensified. Among non-thermal food processing technologies, high pressure processing (HPP) seems to be more advantageous due to its environmentally friendly nature, cost efficiency, suitability for processing foods in any form and its positive impacts on foods’ shelf-life as well as providing efficient microbial safety. Microbiological inactivation efficiency of HPP has been well documented but the role of this technology in digestion efficiency of milk compounds is yet to be elucidated in detail. Also, the potential safety hazards and challenges of HPP in foods require more intense studies. This review deals with the recent developments in HPP treatment to milk and milk products.
Energy and Exergy Analysis of Palm Tree Pruning Residues Gasification
Authors: KAYİŞOĞLU Birol , DEMİRTAŞ Gülizar
Published: January 2023

Gasification is the process of obtaining syngas containing combustible gases such as H2, CO and small amounts of CH4 from biomass by performing partial combustion with a limited oxygen supply or with the help of suitable oxidants such as CO2 and water vapor. The efficiency of the gasification process is the most important parameter that determines the success of the system. In this study, the performance of the system in the gasification of palm pruning residues was evaluated by energy and exergy analysis methods. The gasification process was carried out at 7.6 Nm3/h and 10.2 Nm3/h air flow rates in the laboratory type fixed bed downdraft gasification unit manufactured in the Biosystems Engineering Department. The lower heating value of the syngas obtained as a result of gasification was found to be 4.09 MJ/Nm3 at 7.6 Nm3/h air flow rate and 3.76 MJ/Nm3 at 10.2 Nm3/h air flow rate. It has been observed that the lower heating value of the syngas is lower at high air flow rate. Energy efficiencies of the gasification system at 7.6 and 10.2 Nm3/h air flow rate were calculated as 47.6% and 52.8%, and exergy efficiencies were calculated as 43.7% and 48.1%, respectively. Exergy efficiencies were found to be lower than energy efficiencies in both air flow rates. However, as the air flow rate increased, the energy and exergy efficiencies also increased. The results obtained are similar to the results of previous studies on gasification of biomass.

In poultry slaughterhouses, carcasses can be contaminated with microorganisms at various points during the slaughtering processes, affecting some quality characteristics and shelf life of chicken meat. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different de-feathering methods on the meat quality characteristics and shelf life of broiler chickens. Forty male broilers 42 days of age (Ross 308) were used in the experiment. After slaughtering, they divided into 2 groups and first group was de-feathered by simple dry plucking method (DPM) and the other was a classic wet method (CWM). 5 fillets and 5 drumsticks from each treatment group were analyzed 0, 3, 5, and 7th days of storage time. The water holding capacity (WHC), color, pH and Warner-Bratzler shear force value (W-BSFV) were analyzed for meat quality characteristics of the raw meat samples. Total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total psychrophilic bacteria, numbers of microorganisms assessed critically for food safety such as coliform bacteria, E. coli, Enterococcus spp. Campylobacter spp. also, the presence of Salmonella spp. in carcasses was determined. The results indicated that the skin colors of the fillets and drumsticks were yellower and the meat color of the drumsticks was darker in the DPM group than CWM. On the other hand, no significant effects of the plucking method were detected on the WHC and W-BSFV of the samples. The pH value of the fillets was higher in CWM group (P<0.01), but there were no differences between the pH values of drumsticks of two groups. The microorganism levels, however, were influenced significantly (P<0.01) by the plucking methods and the storage time. The shelf life of the carcasses was shortened, due to the high microbial load in DPM group. It is concluded that simple DPM may be used by low capacity farms which produce the broilers for consumers who prefer yellow-skinned chicken meat at the expense of reduction in the shelf life due to increased microbial load.

Authors: Zakiyyah Nubella Citresna , Gunadharma Suryani , Ganiem Ahmad Rizal
Published: January 2023

Background: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. One of the most common complications of TBM is hydrocephalus, with a higher risk of mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome among TBM patients with or without hydrocephalus.Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional comparative analytical study. A total sampling was employed based on the number of traceable resumes of TBM patients treated at the Department of Neurology Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia in 2018. Results: Of the 127 data of TBM patients, 55 (43.3%) had hydrocephalus, and 72 (56.7%) did not. The median age of TBM patients with and without hydrocephalus was 34 years (IQR 26–45) and 35 years (IQR 24–44), respectively. Decreased consciousness dominated the clinical symptoms for 94.5% in the hydrocephalus group and 84.7% in the non-hydrocephalus group. Hospital-acquired pneumonia occurred mainly in the hydrocephalus group (29.1%), whereas urinary tract infections mainly occurred in without hydrocephalus group (18%). There was a significant difference between the outcome of hydrocephalus and non-hydrocephalus (p=0.005). Mortality was higher in patients with hydrocephalus compared to those without hydrocephalus.Conclusions: The outcome of TBM patients with hydrocephalus is worse than those without hydrocephalus, as reflected by a higher grade of TBM, higher mortality rate, and lower good recovery upon treatment administration. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment are needed to improve the outcome and survival among TBM patients with hydrocephalus.

Background: Diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) begins with identifying presumptive DR-TB patients using Xpert MTB/RIF, as a diagnostic test to detect resistance to rifampicin. The study aimed to identify the distribution of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients based on presumptive DR-TB criteria at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. Moreover, this study also explored the Xpert MTB/RIF Ct values.Methods: This was a descriptive-retrospective study from 570 medical records of DR-TB patients collected at the Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from 2016 to 2019. The inclusion criteria were suspected patients with the Xpert MTB/RIF Ct values in the very low-low and medium-high categories. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution. Results: The most common presumptive DR-TB criteria among DR-TB patients were relapse cases (52.3%). Presumptive DR-TB criteria, with a high percentage result of medium-high Ct values, were category II treatment failure (80.9%).Conclusion: Relapse case and category II treatment failure are presumptive DR-TB criteria, which need more attention from clinicians.

Authors: Immanuel David , Susiarno Hadi , Nurdiawan Windi
Published: January 2023

Background: Stillbirth is one of the most devastating pregnancy outcomes that affects approximately 2.6 million pregnancies worldwide. Several factors have been identified to be associated with stillbirth, and grouped based on the pathophysiological aspects, such as maternal, placental, fetal, and unknown or unexplained factors. This study aimed to describe the prevalence, along with the baseline and risk factor characteristics of stillbirth among singleton pregnancies at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was conducted, including all stillbirth medical records from 2017 to 2020 obtained from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. Medical records with complete baseline data, 2nd–3rd trimester pregnancies, and singleton pregnancies were collected.Results: The prevalence of stillbirth cases in this study was 2.2%. Most of the cases occurred in the age range of 20–35 years old (64.4%) with the gestational age of >28 weeks (65.8%). Of all risk factors observed, hypertensive disorders were the most common medical conditions found (45.6%), followed by unknown factors (17.8%), and congenital abnormalities (14.2%).Conclusions: The majority of stillbirth patients are at their optimal reproductive age, nulliparity, and have hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, specifically the superimposed preeclampsia subtype. Although the prevalence is considerably low, early management of the risk factors, particularly hypertensive disorder, is important to prevent its occurrence.

Published: January 2023

Background: Mosquitoes transmit severe diseases such as malaria, lymphatic filariasis, dengue fever, and yellow fever. These diseases result in significant morbidity and mortality in humans around the world. This study aimed to provide information on the larvicidal potential of different Citrus species peels against Culex mosquito larvae.Methods: Ethanol extracts of the peels of four Citrus species, such as Citrus sinensis (sweet orange), Citrus reticulata (tangerine), Citrus latifolia (lime), and Citrus paradisi (grape) fruits were tested for larvicidal properties against Culex pipiens at different concentration (3 mg, 5 mg, 7 mg and 8 mg in 100 mL) on 25 larva per concentration. Percentage mortality was recorded for each of the concentrations used. Results: Only Culex latifolia induced the death of all the mosquito larvae (100%) at 5 mg/mL concentration of the extract, meanwhile Culex reticulata resulted in the lowest mortality rate (80%). However, a hundred percent (100%) mortality of the larvae, was observed at 8 mg/mL of all the types of extracts evaluated.Conclusion: The result indicates that the peels of these Citrus species, especially Culex latifolia, hold potential for control of Culex pipiens mosquito larvae.
Demonstrações simples de desigualdades de Bell

A desigualdade de Bell expôs um dos aspectos mais fundamentais da mecânica quântica: a teoria é incompatível com a forma usual de se interpretar conceitos básicos como realidade e localidade. Embora o argumento original de Bell não seja de difícil compreensão, existem maneiras mais acessíveis de demonstrar desigualdades similares. Neste artigo apresentamos duas dessas demonstrações, propostas por Nick Herbert e Asher Peres, ambas muito simples e, ao que parece, relativamente pouco conhecidas apesar de seu interesse pedagógico. Também discutimos como a localidade e elementos de realidade descritos por variáveis ocultas se manifestam nessas demonstrações.

RESUMO: Este artigo de revisão bibliográfica objetivou discutir como as pesquisas nacionais têm relacionado a temática Direitos Humanos e Formação de Docentes de Ciências Naturais. Para tanto, foram selecionadas produções acadêmicas em periódicos do Qualis da CAPES, referentes aos estratos A1, A2 e B1 (quadriênio 2013 - 2016). Foram analisados: o contexto das investigações, como as pesquisas foram desenvolvidas, os principais resultados e recomendações. A análise mostrou que apenas dois trabalhos apresentam diretamente essa relação, enquanto os demais fazem interface com as temáticas Educação Ambiental, Gêneros/Sexualidade/Sexo e Diversidade. A temática que mais aparece nas pesquisas está relacionada à discussão sobre Educação Ambiental e a maioria dos trabalhos tinha como contexto a formação inicial de docentes. Constatou-se que há produções que se preocupam com essa articulação, entretanto, ainda há lacunas, como, por exemplo, pesquisas sobre formações específicas sobre Direitos Humanos para os docentes que atuam nessa área do conhecimento.

RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar a existência de recontextualização do conceito de biodiversidade no discurso dos elaboradores de um curso de formação de professores. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada para investigar as características do texto fornecido pela apostila do curso e pela palestra proferida, comparando-as com o texto científico original sobre as dimensões da biodiversidade. Os resultados evidenciam que os conceitos foram modificados de seu sentido original, havendo omissão de termos, adição de sentenças, valores e exemplificações, sendo que a apostila manteve mais características do texto original quando comparado à palestra. Ao mesmo tempo, houve a recontextualização de um texto estritamente científico para uma versão compatível com o contexto do curso de formação. O trabalho defende que a formação de professores de ciências perpasse as dimensões filogenética, genética e funcional da biodiversidade a fim de alcançar a transformação cultural e a superação de situações socioambientais desiguais

RESUMO: Dificuldades de adaptação ao contexto universitário costumam influenciar a motivação para persistir dos calouros. Um programa de mentoria pode favorecer a persistência ao amenizar as dificuldades na transição para a Universidade. Partindo disso, realizou-se um estudo exploratório em um programa de mentoria no curso de Licenciatura em Física da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Fundamentada no Modelo de Motivação da Persistência do Estudante, de Vincent Tinto, a pesquisa, conduzida por meio da aplicação de um questionário e da realização de entrevistas, foi dirigida pela seguinte questão de pesquisa: Como as ações promovidas por um programa de mentoria influenciam na motivação para a persistência de licenciandos em Física? Identificou-se que as ações podem influenciar nas motivações para persistir dos calouros na medida em que, principalmente, os mentores: os preparam para avaliações; disponibilizam informações do curso e da instituição; e inspiram e motivam o calouro para continuar na graduação.

Abstract Most papers in the literature address reliability analysis of isolated elements, like beams and columns. However, symmetry and regularity are often exploited in the construction of regular RC frames, resulting in the same or similar designs for all columns of a floor or all beams of a building. This leads to significant differences in member reliability, due to different axial load to bending moment ratios, in different parts of the structure. Moreover, load effects increase, and symmetry is lost under individual support settlements. In this scenario, reliability analyses are performed, for an intact 4-floors and 3-spans RC frame; and considering different settlement conditions. Monte Carlo simulation is performed, considering uncertainties in dead and live loading, and steel and concrete strengths. The results show that a settlement of 10 mm, corresponding to an angular distortion of 1/500, reduced the average reliability of the frame by only 14%, just the same, it reduced the reliability index of several cross-sections of the beams to up to 2.40, value lower than that recommended in the Model Code 2010. It is concluded that the methodology used in this work presents an important tool for the analysis of events not foreseen in the design, supporting the decision making about the need for intervention in the structures.
Deflection estimate of reinforced concrete beams by the lumped damage mechanics

Abstract The evaluation of the deflection in beams is an indispensable step of the structural design. Currently, many standard codes adopt the Branson’s model. However, the Branson’s model underestimates the deflection of beams with a reinforcement rate of less than 1%. Therefore, this study proposes a new alternative to quantify the deflections in reinforced concrete beams, based on the Lumped Damage Mechanics (LDM). LDM is a nonlinear theory, which uses concepts from Fracture and Damage Mechanics combined with plastic hinges. The viability of the proposed model was verified through comparisons with results from experimental works developed by other authors and the application of the Branson’s model. The obtained results showed that the proposed calculation model had a good approximation of the experimental data with satisfactory accuracy and equivalent values to the Branson’s model in the investigated scenarios.

In this study, titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were prepared through the hydrothermal method and then modified with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) to obtain KTNTs with good dispersion properties. A KTNT–waterborne polyurethane (WPU) composite coating was prepared by blending KTNTs with WPU. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize TNT compositions before and after modification. Thermogravimetric analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to test the thermal stability and corrosion resistance of the composite coating. The results showed that KH550 was successfully connected to the TNT surface. This improved the thermal stability and corrosion resistance of the KTNT–WPU coatings. The fastest thermal decomposition rate for the 0.5% KTNT composite coating was 2%/min lower than that of the pure WPU coating. At the same time, the impedance of the composite coating could reach 7.58 × 107 Ω cm2, the corrosion current density was 3.20 × 10−9 A/cm2 and the corrosion inhibition rate reached 99.87%. The composite coating had an effective corrosion protection time of 120 h, and the protective effect of the coating weakened when the immersion time exceeded 360 h.

COVID-19 vaccination reduces the proportion of cases with severe progression among persons insured by the Berufsgenossenschaft für Gesundheitsdienst und Wohlfahrtspflege Objective: Health care workers are at increased risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 at work. We therefore investigated the development of vaccination rates among health care workers in Germany and the proportion of cases with severe COVID-19 progression in an ecological study. Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, Google and the websites of the Robert Koch Institute and the German Medical Journal were searched for relevant publications on vaccination willingness and rates in Germany from January 2021 to September 2022. Furthermore, we evaluated reports on suspected cases of occupational diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2 in a database of the Berufsgenossenschaft für Gesundheitsdienst und Wohlfahrtspflege (BGW) as of August 2022. To estimate the severity of COVID-19, we analysed the proportion of hospitalised cases and cases resulting in compensation payments for injury and death. Results: Although vaccination willingness was low at the beginning of the vaccination campaign, the vaccination rate increased steadily during 2021. Recent surveys show vaccination coverage rates of well over 90 %. By August 2022, a total of 280,926 suspected cases due to COVID-19 had been reported to BGW. The proportion of cases resulting in hospitalisation decreased from 4.3 % in 2020 to 0.026 % in 2022, and the proportion of deaths also decreased from February 2020 to July 2022. However, the vaccination status of persons insured by BGW is not recorded in these statistics. Conclusions: Although the vaccination status is unknown, BGW data suggest that the severity of COVID-19 cases steadily decreased with increasing vaccination coverage. Keywords: health care workers – occupational disease – COVID-19 – vaccination willingness
