Kekayaan sumber daya genetik di Provinsi Papua, dengan beragam potensinya, belum dikaji dan dimanfaatkan secara berkelanjutan agar erosi genetik yang terjadi terhadap plasma nutfah dapat dikurangi dan dicegah. Dengan demikian, pengelolaan plasma nutfah yang optimal merupakan bagian tak terpisahkan dalam upaya menjaga sumber daya genetik agar tetap lestari. Salah satunya adalah tanaman gembili yang memiliki nilai budaya yang tinggi karena digunakan dalam upacara adat dan juga digunakan sebagai maskawin pernikahan dan sebagai pelengkap dalam upacara adat. Hal ini berarti, budidaya tanaman gembili sudah menyatu dalam kehidupan masyarakat Papua. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji beberapa media air terhadap respon pertumbuhan tunas dan akar tanaman gembili sebagai salah satu teknik budidaya untuk memperpendek masa dormansi dan menghasilkan bahan tanam atau bibit gembili asal Serui Papua. Penelitian dilakukan selama 2 bulan menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 2 perlakuan yaitu perendaman dengan air aqua/air steril dan air sumur, perlakuan diulang sebanyak 3 kali sehingga diperoleh 6 satuan percobaan. Dari hasil pengamatan dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan menggunakan teknik budidaya perendaman umbi dengan air steril atau air aqua dapat memperpendek masa dormansi dan memperbanyak bahan tanam atau bibit gembili (Dioscorea esculenta L.) asal Serui Papua. Hasil analisis data membuktikan pemberian media air memberikan pengaruh yang nyata dalam pertumbuhan tunas dan akar pada umbi gembili. Perbandingan perlakuan air aqua dan air sumur menunjukkan konsistensi dimana perlakuan air aqua mengekspresikan rata-rata jumlah tunas dan jumlah akar pada 4 MST, lebih banyak dibandingkan rata-rata kedua parameter pada perlakuan air sumur pada 5 MST. Direkomendasikan untuk penelitian lanjutan menggunakan perlakuan yang sama dan alternatif media tanam air lainnya dengan memperpanjang waktu pengamatan.

Environmental pollution arising from gas flaring constitutes a major concern among the international community, particularly as a result of the negative impact it brings to society, environment, and economy. In the last 60 years, multinational oil companies operating in Nigeria have consistently flared associated natural gas. This paper critically examines the extant legal frameworks for regulating gas flaring within the Nigerian oil and gas industry, as well as other efforts made by the federal government towards ending gas flaring in the country. The effects of gas flaring on the inhabitants of the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria (human and environment) are discussed, then an overview of the challenges militating against ending the menace of gas flaring is provided. The paper contends that unless there is strict enforcement of anti-gas flaring regulations by the regulating agencies of government with stiff punishments and fines for erring oil companies, gas flaring will not abate. Recommendations are, therefore, proffered for combating gas flaring in the country.

One of fermented soybean (Glycine max L. Merr) products is soy milk, called as Thew Fu Sui by the community of Bangka Belitung. Soy milk product has unpleasant aroma or “langu” and need to be processed into alternative product such as yogurt. Soy milk yogurt (soyghurt) was made by utilizing the same bacteria in yogurt-making from animal milk including Streptococcus thermophillus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Sugar concentration and incubation time were the factors that influenced the fermentation process and product’s taste. This research was conducted to determine the level of people's preference for soyghurt by organoleptic assessment of color, taste, aroma and texture based on variation of sugar concentration and incubation time of soyghurt. Our  study found that various additional sugar concentration and incubation time gave difference result in organoleptic test. Soyghurt with 10%, 12.5%, and 15% of sugar addition became more favorable among the participant. The incubation time of 8 hours, 12 hours, and 16 hours equally produced good fermentation results. Storage in refrigerator for 1 days could maintain its flavor, texture, colour and aroma, but changed after 2 days stored.

The accumulation of plastic waste and excessive use of plastic is a common environmental issue in Indonesia. Plastics are synthetic polymers that are stable, water-resistant, light, flexible, and strong, but are very difficult to be broken down by microorganisms. Decomposition of plastic waste by burning can cause other environmental issues and during the combustion process can produce dioxin compounds that are harmful to health. An available and affordable alternative to reduce the use of plastic is by using bioplastics. Bioplastics are plastics made from natural materials that can be broken down by microorganisms, so they are more environmentally friendly than commercial plastics. Generally, the main ingredients of making bioplastics are starch or chitosan. The source of starch used in this project comes from cassava peel waste. In this project, researchers also utilize waste from chicken egg-shells. The function of adding eggshell waste is to give biodegradable plastic hard characteristics. The ratio between cassava peel and egg shell used was 1:0, 1:1, 1:3, and 1:5. With a 1:1 ratio is the most optimal. the addition of egg shells with the right ratio (1:1) made the ability of biodegradation of bioplastics to increase. The results of the Tensile Strength Test of Bioplastic Samples with a ratio of 1:0, 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 are 9.2 x10-3 kgf/cm2, 4.4 x10-3 kgf/cm2, 2 x10-3 kgf/cm2 and 2 x10 -3 kgf/cm2.

A brief pomological description of the sweet cherry cultivars ‘Pobeda’, ‘Kyustendilska Chrustyalka’, ‘Cherna Konyavska’ and ‘Mizia’, created in the early periods of the selection activity at the Institute of Agriculture in Kyustendil (50s - 70s of the last century) was made. Due to their low spread in the past already these cultivars are threatened with loss. All of them are characterized by large to very large, extremely tasty and firm fruits and have very good transportability. Some local forms of cherries of unknown origin, found as a result of scientific expeditions in the mountainous regions of Kyustendil district are also described. The fruit of ‘Pobeda’ and ‘Cherna Konyavska’ are easily detached from the stalks, without tearing and juice leakage, which makes them suitable for mechanized harvesting. The fruit of ‘Mizia’ have a very high resistance to mechanical pressure and are suitable for transportation. Most of the forms of unknown origin have medium to large fruits, whose diameter varies from 18.1 to 24.6 mm. One of the forms is soft but the others have firm fruits. The shape of the fruit varies from round to broadly heart-shaped. Most of them have dark red to black skin color. The taste of all is sweet and sour and only one form has a slight tartness. Single, very old trees of these varieties and forms were found in abandoned yards and fields in the villages at the western foot of the Konyavska Mountain and in the southeastern part of the Osogovo Mountain.

Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is one of the most cultivated fruit trees species worldwide, its fruits being consumed not only for their organoleptic attributes, but also for their nutraceutical properties. Therefore, the genetic variability of the species is extremely important to insure a large enough pool of cultivars to accommodate consumer demands for various fruit traits, such as taste, flavor, color, shape, etc., as well as to preserve cultivars that have less desirable organoleptic properties but are resistant/tolerant to biotic and/or abiotic stress and could be good genitors for these traits. The current study presents the use of ISSR method to assess the genetic variability among seven Romanian apple cultivars from the orchard collection of University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania: ‘Florina’, ‘Remar’, ‘Ciprian’, ‘Iris’, ‘Rebra’, ‘Generos’, and ‘Redix’. In addition, the method proved to be useful in identifying closely related individual genotypes, allowing the identification and elimination of duplicates from collections, without compromising the collection’s genetic variability.

In Romania, 70 ameliorated varieties were created starting in 1996 and until now. Some of them show resistance to scab, being carriers of some genes described in various specialized works, but, for some time, a decrease in resistance to the pathogen Venturia inaequalis has been observed in varieties known to be resistant, so must be initiated a reorganization of the hybridization in breeding programs. In this study, a molecular screening was performed for some of the parents that were used to create the varieties in breeding programs from Romania. The apple varieties introduced in this study were differentiated with the following molecular markers: AL07, AM19, Vfc for the Rvi6 gene; OPL19 for Rvi2 and Rvi8 gene; AD13 for the Rvi4 gene, respectively OPB12 and Hi07ho2 for the Rvi5 gene, some of the varieties being identified as carrier more than two resistance genes ('Florina', 'Romus 3’, 'Romus 4’, 'Romus 5’, 'Pionier’ and 'Starkrimson’).

The recovery of wood residues from the spring or autumn pruning of branches, from orchards, in the form of briquettes or pellets, is part of the European policy on reducing non-renewable energy consumption. Also, organic agriculture brought to the fore the need to use natural fertilizers, which is why the National Institute of Research – Development for Machines and Installations Designed for Agriculture and Food Industry- INMA Bucharest conducted applied research for the development of an integrated technology and technical equipment for chopping plant residues resulting from cuttings in vineyards/orchards. Integrating the equipment in the technology, it is possible to obtain plant material that will be the basis for the production of mulch, which will be used in the technologies of organic fertilization of fruit/vine plantations. The advantages of this technology are the fact that the fruits obtained will no longer contain chemical compounds, contributing to the preservation of consumers’ health and at the same time the branches or canes resulting from cuttings will be used efficiently. Also, the chopped wood material can be used to make pellets or briquettes, contributing to solving the global problem of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Apricot and peach are species with a short dormancy, being able to start growing season even in February; the resistance of the trees to frosts and late frosts during this period is reduced. The risk is even higher in the south-east of the country where the probability of thermal amplitudes is very high, both during February and March. Although it is an important phenomenon, the information’s of how to protect trees from frost are relatively limited. There is a need for information to support orchards owners to approach this issue. The purpose of this paper was to apply measures and methods to combat this phenomenon in intensive apricot and peach orchards, measures that contribute to "saving" fruit production.

The fruits of Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot are recognized for their many benefits on the human body due to their medicinal and nutritional qualities. In order to ensure the need for propagating material recently requested by the market, an attempt was made to make the multiplication more efficient. Classical methods of multiplication have given poor results, which has led to the approach of multiplication by in vitro cultures. The varieties of interest were Nero and Melrom. The research carried out so far has established effective culture media for the initiation, multiplication and rooting phases as follows: MS mineral salts and LS vitamins with a hormonal balance consisting of GAɜ, BAP and IBA for the initiation and multiplication stages. The phytohormones GAɜ and IBA were used for rooting. The regeneration of the explants in the initiation stage reached an average of 86%. The multiplication rate was on average at Nero of 6 shoots / explant and at Melrom 12.6 shoots / explant. The rooting on the established in vitro culture media was 97% for Nero and 80.19% for Melrom. The acclimatization percentages were 92.15% for Nero and 90.41% for Melrom. In vitro propagation of Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot has proven to be the method that gives the best results for the multiplication of this species.

Authors: Han Jieun , Kim Doh Kwan
Published: December 2022

Objective: The present study compared cognitive function and the ability to perform daily activities in subjects with very mild to mild dementia, classified by the presence or absence of sleep disturbances and depression. Methods: A total of 1,188 psychiatric outpatients (457 males and 731 females, mean age=74.65±5.83 years) were recruited. Sleep disturbances were measured by the Korean version of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory and depression was measured by the Korean Geriatric Depression Scale. Cognitive function was assessed using the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), immediate recall, delayed recall, and verbal fluency. The ability to perform daily tasks was measured by the Seoul-Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (S-IADL). Results: Participants with both sleep disturbances and depression as well as those with depression only had significantly lower K-MMSE, immediate and delayed recall, and verbal fluency scores and higher S-IADL scores than the normal group. Also, those with both sleep disturbances and depression showed the highest S-IADL scores among groups. However, there were no significant differences between subjects with sleep disturbances only and the normal group in all cognitive functional areas and S-IADL. Conclusion: The present study found the differences in cognitive function and the ability to perform daily tasks among patients with mild dementia according to their sleep disturbances and depression. Our findings suggest that depression has stronger associations with cognitive and functional decline in older adults than sleep disturbances.

Published: December 2022

Objective: This study investigated the association between anxiety symptoms in elderly insomnia patients and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters. Methods: In total, 46 elderly patients (67.91±5.61 years old, 11 males, 35 females) were enrolled. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire (APPQ), Penn State Worry Questionnaire, and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale were used to measure sleep quality and anxiety. Resting-state HRV was also obtained. The associations between anxiety measures and HRV were analyzed. Results: Female sex was related to higher normalized high-frequency (HF norm) power (β=0.32, p=0.04). The APPQ score was negatively correlated with the HF norm (β=-0.59, p<0.01). Age was negatively correlated with low-frequency power/high-frequency power (LF/HF) ratio (β=-0.33, p=0.04). Female sex was correlated to lower LF/HF ratio (β=-0.36, p=0.02). The APPQ score was positively correlated with LF/HF ratio (β=0.68, p<0.01). Conclusion: Panic symptoms in elderly insomnia patients were negatively correlated with parasympathetic nervous system activity.

Sleep disturbances are common across all age groups, and they encompass a broad range of impairments of daytime functioning and comorbid various clinical conditions. However, current treatment methods for sleep disturbances have several limitations. As the ‘top-down’ pathway is known to play an important role in sleep-wake regulation, and as neuronal activity abnormalities have been reported as a potential pathological mechanism of sleep disturbances, the use of non-invasive brain stimulation—such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in treating sleep disturbances—has emerged. In the present review, we first explain the mechanism of tDCS, and we also introduce recent studies that have applied tDCS to sleep disorders, along with other sleep-related tDCS studies. In conclusion, many studies have achieved improvements in sleep state, although some of these studies have reported inconsistent effects of tDCS according to the protocol and the conditions used. Further studies are needed to explore the optimal protocols to use when applying tDCS in each sleep disturbance and to enhance the evidence on the clinical efficacy of tDCS.

Published: December 2022

Objective: This study aimed to investigate prescription patterns in patients with insomnia who still met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria despite having already been taking hypnotics, and to determine which drug(s) and what combination therapies were preferred. Methods: Sixty-three patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were selected from participants registered at six university hospitals for a prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of melatonin (Circadin).Results: The prescribed hypnotics were clonazepam (n=33), trazodone (n=23), zolpidem (n=22), quetiapine (n=14), mirtazapine (n=12), lorazepam (n=10), alprazolam (n=7), triazolam (n=5), doxepin (n=5), diazepam (n=3), etizolam (n=2), and flunitrazepam (n=1). There were five types of monotherapies (benzodiazepine, zolpidem, trazodone, mirtazapine, and doxepin) and 18 types of combination therapies. The total number of hypnotics used ranged from one to six. The frequency of benzodiazepine use was quite high, at 51/63. Conclusion: This study showed that insomnia can be treated in a wide variety of ways. In particular, 63% of the insomnia treatments in this study used combination therapy. This means that the gap between evidence-based pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy used in clinical practice is substantial. This also means that insomnia is still not fully understood and is a heterogeneous condition. In the future, more studies are needed to deepen our understanding of the pathophysiology of insomnia.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the sleep onset time (SOT), outing activities, and screen-based media device (SBMD) use by grade and to evaluate the differences in SOT according to outing activities and SBMD use. Methods: A total of 10,080 students from one district in Daegu Metropolitan City completed Survey for Outing and Time Usage for Children, Adolescents, and Parents, among which SOT, outing activities, and mobile phone usage time and behavior were analyzed. Results: There was a significant difference in SOT on weekdays and weekends according to grade level. The SOT of high school seniors was 2 hours and 20 minutes later than that of elementary school seniors regardless of weekdays and weekends. There was a significant difference in SOT according to outing activity time, mobile game usage time, and video-watching time. Conclusion: The SOT is significantly delayed by grade, and the SOT of students who use a lot of SBMD is significantly delayed. It is possible that students’ sleep health deteriorates depending on the grade due to various factors. It is considered that personal, educational, and socio-environmental efforts are needed to improve students’ sleep health.

En esta producción describimos las formas organizativas de trabajo establecidas entre directivos y demás agentes educativos, identificamos los estilos de gestión predominantes en el contexto de educación remota y, por último, analizamos las formas de comunicación en el contexto educativo que surgieron en la pandemia.El material de análisis está formado por un corpus relevado mediante una muestra no  probabilística autogenerada a partir de una convocatoria abierta a directivos de escuelas de educación inicial, primaria y secundaria de los Departamentos General San Martín y Río Segundo de la Provincia de Córdoba. Se recabaron un total de 42 encuestas de las cuales 20 fueron respondidas por directivos de nivel primario, 13 de nivel secundario, 8 de nivel inicial y 1 sin referencia. Del total, el 92,9 % de los encuestados dirige instituciones de gestión pública y el 7,1 % de gestión privada. De esto resultó que los principales cambios de formas de trabajo estuvieron dados en el ámbito del gobierno institucional y del sistema relacional. Se identificó que el estilo de gestión predominante en el contexto de educación remota fue el de la gestión como gobierno. En el análisis de las formas de comunicación se pudo detectar el surgimiento de nuevas formas y la incorporación de dispositivos ajenos a la dinámica educativa.

labor del pediatra: Genaro Sisto y la medicina escolar
Authors: Cammarota Adrián
Published: December 2022

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo reconstruir la trayectoria y el campo de ideas de Genaro Sisto (1870-1923), centrándonos fundamentalmente en su labor como médico escolar, su visión sobre las formas de intervención que debía promover el Estado en función de las demandas psicosociales y ambientales de la niñez pobre, el perfil del médico escolar, la alimentación y la irradiación de enfermedades infecciosas en las escuelas.Estos ejes nos permiten adentrarnos en el pensamiento del galeno, quien fraguó su experticia a la par de las novedades europeas adaptándolas a las particularidades locales. Sisto fue uno de los promotores de la pediatría en un periodo en el cual las niñas y los niños comenzaron a ser objeto de conocimiento de la medicina, la psiquiatría y la pedagogía. Formó parte de una generación de médicos higienistas que entendían a la niñez como la base de desarrollo para el regeneramiento de la raza. Su labor como pediatra, integrante del Cuerpo Médico Escolar y partícipe en la fundación de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría, lo convierte en una de las figuras harto mencionadas en los estudios académicos, aunque, paradójicamente, menos estudiado. A diferencia de otros médicos relevantes de su época por la acción pública y profusas publicaciones, las ideas y mediaciones de Sisto pueden rastrearse en revistas especializadas destinadas al campo de la medicina escolar, en la revista El Monitor de la Educación Común, en publicaciones de organismos de salubridad como el Departamento Nacional de Higiene; en panfletos editados por impresores locales y, por último, en conferencias nacionales e internacionales brindadas por el galeno.Estos insumos documentales son utilizados desde una perspectiva cualitativa para reconstruir el itinerario del pediatra escolar y sus posicionamientos científicos frente a las enfermedades que afectaban el desarrollo de la niñez y de la educación primaria en general.
