Published: October 2024

Sektor pertanian memainkan peran penting dalam ekonomi Indonesia, namun menghadapi tantangan dalam pengendalian hama dan penyakit tanaman yang dapat mengancam ketersediaan pangan berkualitas. Penggunaan pestisida kimia, meskipun efektif, menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan dan kesehatan manusia. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan pestisida nabati dari bahan alami seperti daun lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala), daun kelor (Moringa oleifera), daun maja (Aegle marmelos), dan daun kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata) menjadi penting. Studi ini melakukan analisis fitokimia terhadap keempat jenis daun tersebut untuk mengevaluasi potensi mereka sebagai pestisida nabati, dengan fokus pada senyawa-senyawa seperti flavonoid, alkaloid, steroid, tanin, saponin, fenol/hidroquinon, dan terpenoid. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa daun kirinyuh memiliki kandungan senyawa yang paling lengkap, termasuk saponin yang berperan penting dalam pengendalian hama. Daun lamtoro dan daun maja juga menunjukkan potensi yang baik dengan kandungan steroid yang lebih tinggi, sementara daun kelor efektif berkat kandungan alkaloid dan flavonoid yang tinggi.

Two novel pure-state coherence measures in quantifying coherence
Authors: Hazra Manis , Goswami Debabrata
Published: October 2024

Quantification is one of the primary goals of quantum coherence resource theory. Here, we put forward two coherence measures, analytically prove their validity in the pure-state regime following the axiomatic definition of a legitimate pure-state coherence measure (PSCM), and provide their general normalized forms. We further discuss their extensions in the domain of mixed states with the assistance of the convex roof of coherence, and top coherence (quantification in terms of pure state coherence) and define their classes (coherence \emph{monotone} or \emph{measure}); in this regard, we thoroughly investigate the top coherence class. For the quantitative demonstration, we pick up different laser pulse-two-qubit interaction scenarios and compare the evolutions of these two coherence measures along with \(l_{1}\)-norm of coherence and relative entropy of coherence; this study also signifies the importance of coherence in probing an atomic or molecular system.

Published: October 2024

Experimental and clinical studies using cell therapy are very popular. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) are used as one of the components of therapy in these researches. The action of MSCs is mediated by the release of EV which play a direct role in the implementation of several important biological processes: angiogenesis, proliferation, modulation of the inflammatory process and immune response, inhibition of cellular apoptosis, etc. These properties of MSCs and stem cell-derived EV are of interest in the treatment of tuberculosis infection, because an integral part of the pathogenesis of tuberculosis is the creation of specific granulomas and the formation of fibrosis.
Features of the nasal microbiota in patients with allergic rhinitis: A review
Authors: Saichenko Irina A. , Alidzhanova Fatima P. , Zyuzina Daria V. , Diukova Margarita A. , Bajburdyan Dayana G. , Raevskii Kirill P.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the data of modern literature on the microbiota of ENT organs in normal and pathological conditions. The microbiota plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis by influencing metabolism, the immune system and human physiology. This complex of microorganisms includes bacteria, viruses and fungi that form the biofilm of otolaryngological organs, which prevents the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms. Different parts of the human upper respiratory tract have similar types of bacteria, but it differs dramatically at the level of families and genera. In addition, the balance of microbial flora depends on the immune system status, environmental factors, medication intake, age, race, lifestyle, as well as the health of other ENT organs. Changes in the nasal mucosa in allergic rhinitis are often associated with an increase in the content of bacteria. For example, Staphylococcus aureus can cause more severe nasal congestion in conjunction with protracted rhinitis and sinusitis. The production of bacterial proteinases contributes to easier penetration of allergens and activation of mucosal cells. The absence of microbiota can increase the response of the immune system and reduce the number of cells that contribute to the regulation of inflammation. This review presents an analysis of the composition of the normal microflora of otolaryngological organs and its effect on the occurrence of allergic rhinitis.

Authors: Svistushkin Valery М. , Nikiforova Galina N. , Pinegin Boris V. , Vorobjeva Nina V. , Dekhanov Artem S. , Dagil Yulia A. , Mironova Anna R.
Published: October 2024

Background. Chronic sinusitis occurs in the Russian Federation in 16.4±10.89% of the population and has a great impact on the quality of life of patients. The inflammatory process underlying this pathology is often resistant to conservative treatment and causes surgical intervention. The study of the role of neutrophil extracellular traps as an important part of the immune response, as well as the capabilities of drugs capable of influencing the processes of netosis, is an important and relevant area of modern research.
Aim. Studying the role of NETs in the pathogenesis of CRS without polyps, assessing the effect of azoximer bromide on the metabolism of NETs in patients with CRS.
Materials and methods. The study included 82 patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (average age 37±12 years), and 40 healthy volunteers (average age 34±10 years). Patients with CRS were treated with surgery and a course of azoximer bromide, the severity of the disease did not differ in patients. Nasal secretions and venous blood were analyzed in all study participants with the determination of surrogate markers of neutrophil extracellular traps – myeloperoxidase complexes with DNA and the detection of double-stranded DNA (Quant Pico Green dsDNA kit). In patients who received azoximer bromide, the material was taken twice – before the start of treatment and 10 days after the course of treatment.
Results. In patients with CRS, the amount of NETs in nasal secretions and venous blood is higher compared to the control group (p0.05). The use of azoximer bromide in CRS outside of exacerbation reduces the activity of NETosis processes with intranasal use of the drug not only in the area of inflammation (reduction of NET in nasal secretions); p0.05, but also at the general level (decrease NETs in venous blood); p0.05.
Conclusion. An increase in the amount of NETs in nasal flushes and venous blood in patients with CRS without exacerbation compared with the control group may indicate a likely pathological role of NETosis processes, and an increase in the amount of NETs in the blood of patients with CRS without exacerbation compared with the control group indicates the systemic effect of a local inflammatory process in the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Published: October 2024

In this lecture, some aspects of vestibular pathology propedeutics are highlighted. The necessity of careful vestibulosensory reactions analysis by different physicians (ENT specialist, neurologist, internist, general practitioner) is emphasized. Main patients’ complaints (vertigo and unsteadiness) are distinguished between. Special attention is paid to the classification of these vestibulosensory reactions on their duration and periodicity. The terms (sickness itself and balance disorders that may be concomitant symptoms of kinetosis) are clearly defined. Theories and clinical manifestations of sickness syndromes and motion sickness are described in details. Clinical variants of peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction are analyzed. The importance of computerized technics of vestibulometry (electrooculography, video oculography and computer dynamic posturography) in order to make a topic diagnosis of vestibular dysfunction and to assess visual-vestibular interaction in sickness is emphasized.
Congenital laryngeal anomalies in childhood
Authors: Stepanova Yulia E.
Published: October 2024

Background. Diagnosis of congenital malformations of the larynx in children is a difficult task for otorhinolaryngologists. The development and implementation of video endoscopic techniques has made a significant contribution to the understanding of anatomical changes in the larynx during CPR.
Aim. To study the clinical manifestations of congenital malformations in children over 6 years of age.
Materials and methods. Eighty three (100%) children with laryngeal malformations aged 6 to 18 years (10.1±0.6) were examined, who applied to the phoniatric department of the Saint-Petersburg Research Institute of Ear, Throat, Nose and Speech from 2002 to 2023. The number of boys is 39 (47%) people, girls – 44 (53%) people. The maximum incidence of children of both sexes was observed at the age of 8–12 years.
Results. It should be noted that in all patients, this pathology was detected for the first time when contacting a phoniatrist. Dysphonia is expressed from birth in 30 (36%) patients. Three children also complained of difficulty breathing from birth. In 15 (18%) children, the voice remained normal. The purpose of their visit is a preventive examination. Dysphonia in the remaining 38 (46%) children appeared during increased vocal load. The structures of the congenital malformations are presented as follows: tissue defects 36 (43%) people, organ defects 34 (41%) people, combined organ-tissue defects 10 (12%) people, neurogenic defects 3 (4%). None of the examined patients had congenital tumors. Hypoplasia or grooves of the vocal folds were diagnosed in 20 (23%) cases in the group of tissue VPR. Nine (11%) patients suffered from arytenoid cartilage dyschronia, and 7 (8%) patients suffered from dysplasia. Organ defects were represented by dystopia or “crossing” of the arytenoid cartilages in 29 (35%) and epiglottis dysgenesis in 5 (6%). Based on the clinical and endoscopic picture of the larynx, we have identified two degrees of dystopia. The first degree was diagnosed in 18 (21%), and the second in 11 (13%) children.
Conclusion. Patients with both tissue and organ cysts are characterized by the formation of nodules, cysts, mucosal hyperplasia, fusiform thickened edge of the vocal cord, chronic laryngitis, hypertrophy of vestibular folds. These changes should be considered as a compensatory and adaptive mechanism in conditions of forced vocalization due to anatomical changes in the larynx.
Nicotine addiction is the main risk factor for the formation and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A review
Authors: Dzyubailo Anna V. , Lotkov Viacheslav S.
Published: October 2024

The article considers the issue of studying the effect of nicotine dependence on the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as the main factor in the formation of inflammation mediated through the use of tobacco-containing, as well as alternative tobacco products, not only the epithelium of the bronchi, but also the endothelial cells of large and small vessels. Morphological changes in bronchopulmonary structures lead to pronounced tissue hypoxia, which in turn aggravates the course of the underlying disease, leads to the formation of concomitant pathology in the form of cardiovascular diseases, pathology of blood rheology, increased risks of thrombosis. Without considering the risks of early death in this context, we can say with confidence that a decrease in the level of quality of life and human activity will directly depend on the availability of constant and prolonged use of nicotine-containing products.

Published: October 2024

Chronic tonsillitis (CT) is a common infectious-allergic disease leading to severe general somatic complications, including rheumatic damage of joints and heart, kidney disease. Currently in Russia there is an increase in the number of patients with CT. Therapy for CT in outpatient practice is often limited to only washing the lacunae of the palatine tonsils, without the use of local drugs. We observed a 35-year-old patient with a diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis and a history of the disease of more than 1.5 years. A combined method of therapy was chosen, including treatment with the Tonsillor apparatus using low-frequency ultrasound therapy and local use of Viroxinol for irrigation of the tonsils and mucous membrane. As a result of the complex treatment, pronounced positive dynamics and a decrease in the clinical symptoms of CT were achieved.

There are diseases for which people turn to specific specialists, but there are also a number of ones that are treated by doctors of different specialties. Therapists, infectious disease specialists, otolaryngologists, and pulmonologists diagnose and treat acute respiratory viral infections. But the same specialists often have to deal with the outcomes of an acute process – postnasal drip and post-infectious cough, which decreases the quality of life and exhaust patients. However, in case when the correct diagnosis is made, there are treatment regimens that allow to achieve quick relieve subjective and objective symptoms, as well as clinical cure of the disease escaping the use of antibacterial therapy. The efficient therapy agreement of the otolaryngologist and pulmonologist is that for various causes of cough, herbal medicine is the best choice.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through into Import Prices: Evidence from Türkiye during 2010-2020 Period
Authors: Sezgin Volkan
Published: October 2024

This article analyses pass through of exchange rates into the import prices for an emerging economy, Türkiye, which faced severe fluctuations in the nominal exchange rate in the recent years, and experienced significant increases in domestic prices. The Turkish economy continues to struggle due to high inflationary pressures and a steep Turkish Lira (TL) devaluation particularly after 2017. This study aimed at examining the relationship between exchange rate and import prices using quarterly data for the period of 2010q1-2019q1, while the empirical methodology is framed in the multivariate cointegration analysis, along with the application of the Johansen cointegration test and the development of an autoregressive error correction vector for the determination of the pass-through in the long term. Our findings show that 85.6% of the fluctuations of the nominal exchange rate are transmitted to the import prices in the mentioned period, slower than the findings of the study by Akgunduz and his colleagues as the difference of import prices from its long-run relationship implied by the real exchange rate is likely dominated by energy prices in a strong manner. Second significant finding derives from the parameter that measures the speed of the pass-through, whose estimate has been found as -0.0125, inferring that the adjustment in short-term imbalances between import prices and the nominal exchange rate through changes in import prices is rather slow.

Authors: Durmuş Haşimi Sema , Yalçınkaya Alkar Özden
Published: October 2024

Adolescents, already in a vulnerable state due to the challenges of adolescence, were among risk groups to develop psychosocial and emotional problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research conducted with adolescents identified psychological resilience as one of the protective factors which helped them cope better with pandemic-related adversities. The aim of this systematic review is to determine the correlates of Turkish adolescents’ psychological resilience to gain a better understanding of its protective role during the pandemic. Using the related keywords (Turkish adolescents, students, psychological resilience, COVID-19 Pandemic) and limiting the publication period as 2020-2024, a database search was conducted, in which 340 articles were identified. 10 articles that met the eligibility criteria were included in the systematic review. By reviewing the articles systematically, doing exercise, emotional flexibility, spirituality, hope, parental and peer support, financial support, psycho-education programs supporting pandemic-specific coping, and certain personality traits including openness to new experience, extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness were identified as variables that are positively correlated with psychological resilience. On the other hand, fear of COVID-19, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), smartphone addiction, playing digital games, online education, exam anxiety and neuroticism are variables that have negative correlation with psychological resilience. Based on the results, it appears that during the COVID-19 pandemic, psychological resilience, in relation with other individual and social/contextual protective factors, functioned as a psychological buffer against psychological problems for Turkish adolescents.

The survey, consisting of 28 five-point Likert scale questions, aimed to capture the local population’s attitudes toward the integration of Syrians, focusing on aspects such as education, cultural proximity, and forced repatriation. The findings revealed significant regional differences. In Şanlıurfa, societal acceptance of Syrians was largely influenced by religious, ethnic, and cultural proximity, particularly regarding access to education. In contrast, respondents in Ankara demonstrated a more negative attitude toward these factors. Furthermore, a clear divide emerged in views on the forced return of Syrians, with Şanlıurfa showing higher tolerance and Ankara favoring repatriation under certain conditions. These results underscore the importance of localized studies in understanding the nuanced public perceptions of refugee communities

As florestas tropicais secas brasileiras são distribuídas em mosaicos por todo o território nacional e no sudoeste da Bahia são conhecidas como “Mata de cipó”. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a fenologia foliar da vegetação de um remanescente de floresta seca no nordeste brasileiro. Ainda, foram identificados aspectos ecológicos das espécies e o efeito de fatores abióticos na fenologia foliar. Neste remanescente, 90 indivíduos arbóreos e arbustivos foram acompanhados mensalmente durante 24 meses para registrar a intensidade das fenofases de queda e brotamento foliar, estimada com o uso do índice de Fournier. As espécies identificadas foram caracterizadas quanto ao status de conservação e caducifolia. Foram identificadas 69 espécies e apenas Ocotea puberula (Lauraceae) foi classificada em um dos critérios de vulnerabilidade de ameaça de extinção. As espécies não possuem ciclo anual para as fenofases foliares e a maioria dos indivíduos (76%) perderam menos que 50% de suas folhas e foram classificados como perenes (67%). A queda foliar foi correlacionada negativamente com a temperatura e o brotamento positivamente com a pluviosidade. Os resultados demonstram que o remanescente é uma floresta estacional semidecidual, cuja fenologia foliar das espécies vegetais são influenciadas pelos mesmos fatores abióticos que induzem a queda das folhas em outras florestas estacionais brasileiras.

“It Doesn’t Feel Like I’m Coaching”: Using a Kinesio-Cultural Exploration to Become a More Ethical Rhythmic Gymnastics Coach
Authors: Skebo Kristi
Published: October 2024

Rhythmic gymnastics (RG) is a sport that combines complex technical movements with hand-held apparatus, which, in turn, is used as an extension of the body’s movement. Therefore, coaching RG requires specialized knowledge for the athletes to successfully develop the required technical skills. In Canada, RG coach education is primarily delivered through formalized courses and informal learning of coach mentoring, experiential learning as a gymnast within a club setting, and copying examples from top international coaches. Traditionally, RG coaching has followed authoritarian coaching practices with the coach dictating the training to focus specifically on repetition of RG specific skills. These coaching practices can have unintended harmful, long-term consequences. In this study, I develop my own practice as an RG coach to consider more ethical coaching. To do this, I employ Action Research to implement a novel approach to skill learning, kinesio-cultural exploration (KCE), that requires me to reconceptualize skill development in a competitive RG setting and challenges the traditional authoritarian relationship between coach and gymnast.

Principals have an important role to play in schools in improving the performance of teachers, especially science teachers, who are often perceived by students as boring to teach. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the role of principal and performance of science teachers in junior high school in Labuhanbatu Regency. This research is a quantitative study with a sample size of 90 junior high school teachers in Labuhanbatu Regency. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate tests. The results showed that the role of the principal was achieved (62.2%), which dominated the role of manager, educator and leader. Multiple regression test shows that the role of the principal is able to improve the performance of science teachers in the learning process (R= .57 (R2 = .325, p < .01). The conclusion of this study is that principals who fulfil their role can make a positive contribution to teachers, especially science teachers who often face barriers to developing interesting learning in the classroom. In addition, there are other aspects that principals should use to improve performance of science teachers
Systemizing Provenance Research on Objects from Colonial Contexts
Authors: Grimme Gesa
Published: October 2024

The recent debates surrounding the establishment of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin have given rise to questions of how to address the colonial histories of the often large collections housed in Germany’s ethnographic museums. So far, research into the colonial background of these collections focussed mostly on exemplary case studies, on specific objects or donators. As a step towards a more systematic mode of provenance research, this paper proposes to survey collections from former colonial territories as a whole by asking when did the objects arrive and what persons donated or sold them to the museum. Based on the results of the project Discomforting Heritage: Objects from Colonial Contexts in Anthropological Museums, the article details how this approach addresses the collections’ interconnectness with colonial structures, provides a foundation for a more planed, pro-active handling of these collections and lays important groundwork for the respectful sharing of information with stakeholder communities.
The Discipline of Pleasure; or, How Art History Looks at the Art Museum
Authors: Trodd Colin
Published: October 2024

The central aim of this essay is to generate a critically detailed and fully historicised reading of one specific example of the institutionalisation of visual culture. By attending to its complexity as an aesthetic, social and managerial space, I want to examine how the act of seeing was inscribed in a body of material concerned with the National Gallery (NG) in mid-Victorian London. Addressing the language of exhibition, this essay deals with a form of commentary where writing about the public display of art becomes another way of exploring the mnemonic or kinetic qualities of space. This work asks: what is caught in this fascination with the spatial logics of the gallery? What is formed by the development of an institutional process which seeks the ideal illumination of art? What is registered in the new systems of visual authority that begin to emerge in the 1840s and 1850s? What is caught, blocked or displayed by this new interest in seeing in the NG a visual network of interlocking narratives about the historical development of art?
Heritage, Governance and Marketization: a case-study from Wales
Authors: Dicks Bella
Published: October 2024

This paper seeks to uncover what the marketization of heritage means in practice. Ironically, both the sponsors and the critics of heritage may over-estimate how amenable it is to the ‘spirit of enterprise’ (whether loved or loathed). This is particularly the case with heritage visitor-sites which have been set up with regeneration-targeted funding. Their planners and sponsors like to think of them as seed-beds for growing the green shoots of enterprise and economic development in the local sphere. This is in accordance with latter-day political doctrines of entrepreneurial governance and the selling of place (for both place-promotion and tourism). On the other side of the fence, their critics accuse them of selling out to the market, shoe-horning history into a standardized industry and turning local culture into a commodity. I shall argue that this picture is caricatured on both sides.
