Perspectives on microRNAs and Phased Small Interfering RNAs in Maize (Zea mays L.): Functions and Big Impact on Agronomic Traits Enhancement
Authors: Zhang Zhanhui , Teotia Sachin , Tang Jihua , Tang Guiliang
Published: June 2019

Small RNA (sRNA) population in plants comprises of primarily micro RNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). MiRNAs play important roles in plant growth and development. The miRNA-derived secondary siRNAs are usually known as phased siRNAs, including phasiRNAs and tasiRNAs. The miRNA and phased siRNA biogenesis mechanisms are highly conserved in plants. However, their functional conservation and diversification may differ in maize. In the past two decades, lots of miRNAs and phased siRNAs have been functionally identified for curbing important maize agronomic traits, such as those related to developmental timing, plant architecture, sex determination, reproductive development, leaf morphogenesis, root development and nutrition, kernel development and tolerance to abiotic stresses. In contrast to Arabidopsis and rice, studies on maize miRNA and phased siRNA biogenesis and functions are limited, which restricts the small RNA-based fundamental and applied studies in maize. This review updates the current status of maize miRNA and phased siRNA mechanisms and provides a survey of our knowledge on miRNA and phased siRNA functions in controlling agronomic traits. Furthermore, improvement of those traits through manipulating the expression of sRNAs or their targets is discussed.

Published: June 2019

The U.S. catfish industry is a major industry that has been declining over the years due to imports competition and growing operational costs. Catfish processing wastewater management and high energy requirement put a large financial burden on catfish processing facilities. Recovered protein-based solids have provided some value-added co-products, however, more co-products are needed to offset processing costs. Anaerobic digestion is a proven waste treatment method that produces methane, which is an energetic co-product that can be used within the processing facilities. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of anaerobic digestion as an alternative to the currently used aerobic biotreatment of catfish processing wastewater. Initial assessments indicated the recalcitrance of the full-strength wastewater to anaerobic digestion, yielding only ~4 m3 per ton (U.S.) of input chemical oxygen demand (CODinput). Thus, several strategies were evaluated to improve the methane yield from the wastewater. These strategies include nutrient (nitrogen and sulfur) amendment, along with ozone, HCl, and NaOH pretreatment. The results showed that nutrient amendment was the most suitable strategy for improving the digestibility of the catfish processing wastewater. A methane yield of 121–236 m3/ton (U.S.) CODinput was obtained, with a purity of 67–80 vol.%. These results are similar to yields and purities of biogas from other feedstock, such as food waste, wastewater solids, and fish canning wastewater. This indicates that anaerobic digestion could be a viable alternative for simultaneous treatment and energetic co-product generation from catfish processing wastewater.
What Determines Behaviours Towards Water Resources Management in a Rural Context? Results of a Quantitative Study
Authors: Okumah Murat , Yeboah Ata Senior , Nkiaka Elias , Azerigyik Richard Apatewen
Published: June 2019

Recent environmental policies introduced to safeguard the quality of water resources have focussed on encouraging pro-environmental behaviours (PEB). This has resulted in a considerable volume of research output that seeks to investigate the determinants of PEB in the context of water resources management. However, there is a paucity of literature exploring the topic within the developing country context, though evidence suggests that these regions record the highest rates of water resource pollution. This limits our understanding of the determinants of PEB and thus constrains our ability to develop and implement effective policies to encourage uptake of PEB. Following this, we apply the Theory of Planned Behaviour to explore the determinants of PEB, using structural equation modelling to analyse survey data from rural Ghana. The evidence supports the hypothesis that attitudes and perceived behavioural control affects intentions, and this translates into pro-environmental behaviour. Results further indicate that attitude and perceived behavioural control have a strong explanatory power in people’s intentions, and intentions are influential drivers of pro-environmental behaviour. An explicit recognition of the role of situational factors could offer a profound understanding of the determinants of behaviours that promote water resources management and support the development and implementation of policies aimed at safeguarding the quality of water resources.
Hybrid Analytical Platform Based on Field-Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry, Infrared Sensing, and Luminescence-Based Oxygen Sensing for Exhaled Breath Analysis
Authors: Hagemann L. Tamina , Repp Stefan , Mizaikoff Boris
Published: June 2019

The reliable online analysis of volatile compounds in exhaled breath remains a challenge, as a plethora of molecules occur in different concentration ranges (i.e., ppt to %) and need to be detected against an extremely complex background matrix. Although this complexity is commonly addressed by hyphenating a specific analytical technique with appropriate preconcentration and/or preseparation strategies prior to detection, we herein propose the combination of three different detector types based on truly orthogonal measurement principles as an alternative solution: Field-asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy-based sensors utilizing substrate-integrated hollow waveguides (iHWG), and luminescence sensing (LS). By carefully aligning the experimental needs and measurement protocols of all three methods, they were successfully integrated into a single compact analytical platform suitable for online measurements. The analytical performance of this prototype system was tested via artificial breath samples containing nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and acetone as a model volatile organic compound (VOC) commonly present in breath. All three target analytes could be detected within their respectively breath-relevant concentration range, i.e., CO2 and O2 at 3-5 % and at ~19.6 %, respectively, while acetone could be detected with LOQs as low as 165-405 ppt. Orthogonality of the three methods operating in concert was clearly proven, which is essential to cover a possibly wide range of detectable analytes. Finally, the remaining challenges toward the implementation of the developed hybrid FAIMS-FTIR-LS system for exhaled breath analysis for metabolic studies in small animal intensive care units are discussed.
Environmental Factors Associated with Older Adult’s Walking Behaviors: A Systematic Review of Quantitative Studies
Authors: Yun Hae Young
Published: June 2019

The aim of this study is to systematically review the relationship between neighborhood environments and all types of walking behaviors among older adults. Seventy peer-reviewed journal articles which met the selection criteria were examined. Research designs were summarized by geographical location and the associations of environmental characteristics and walking were calculated. Interactions between moderators and environmental characteristics for all types of walking were also categorized. Results have shown that transport walking is the most supported by neighborhood environmental characteristics. The positively related environmental characteristics are walkability, urbanization, land use mix-diversity and accessibility, walking amenities, and bicycle lanes. Total walking was positively associated with walkability and urbanization. Recreational walking was associated with neighborhood employment/income level, nearness to public transport/bus stops, and social cohesion. The most commonly used moderators were age and gender, but inconsistent moderating effects between neighborhood environments and walking were also found. In densely populated environments such as Hong Kong, older adults walked mostly for both transport and recreation. In contrast, American older adults in low density areas walked less for transport and more for recreation. Findings support a strong relationship between neighborhood environments and older adults’ walking. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and comparison studies by geographic location.
Universidade e Ética

Em um mundo marcado pela impessoalidade e a funcionalidade das relações sociais – em que os indivíduos são cada vez menos “sujeitos livres”, responsáveis por suas ações, e cada vez mais reprodutores de um pensamento único e homogêneo – a universidade, que tende a reproduzir as formas de relação que prevalecem na sociedade, vem perdendo seu caráter de instituição social produtora da diferença, do autêntico progresso e avanço político. No lugar, esta instituição adquire um aspecto de organização corporativa, na qual se privilegia a formalidade e a competência técnica- administrativa. Refletindo sobre os vínculos necessários entre universidade e sociedade, concebidos como uma ligação viva entre conhecimento e formação, ou seja, entre a informação científica e tecnológica e a “formação do discernimento”, não nos deparamos hoje com uma universidade ética e politicamente necessária, mas sim com uma universidade logicamente necessária, que se impõe e se justifica a partir de interesses hegemônicos. Assim, neste artigo, partimos de certa constatação negativa no que diz respeito à liberdade dos indivíduos e à autonomia das instituições, para apontarmos o surgimento da resistência como uma atitude daqueles que constroem e defendem esses valores, remando contra a maré da passividade e da regressão política, e defendendo o projeto intelectual, educacional, ético e político de uma universidade democrática.
Comunidades imaginadas:
Authors: Facchini Regina
Published: June 2019

Este artigo toma como ponto de partida a produção de comunidades no contexto da luta por direitos na esfera política. Tem por objetivo problematizar a relação entre conduta sexual, identidade, "comunidade" e "lugar", tal como costuma aparecer quando focalizamos o caso da “população LGBT" (de lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais), a partir de um deslocamento dessa perspectiva. Este exercício reflexivo é possibilitado pelo olhar etnográfico para uma rede de mulheres que têm práticas eróticas com mulheres e que se articula em torno de outra prática erótica, o BDSM (bondage, disciplina, dominação e submissão, sadismo e masoquismo). A análise lança mão do conceito de “comunidades imaginadas”, de modo a considerar os sentimentos de fraternidade ou comunhão que as constituem e reconhecer seu caráter politicamente imaginado e contingente.

Published: June 2019

Introduction surgical treatment of elderly and senile cancer patients is becoming more common, due to the growing number of aging population. Optimization of surgical treatment of elderly patients remains an actual problem due to a significant number of comorbidities and a decrease in the functional reserves of the organism.

Purpose of the study. Analysis of the survival and determination of risk factors affecting the life expectancy of elderly patients with II–III stages of colon cancer.

Materials and methods. The analysis of case histories of 40 elderly and senile patients with II–III stages of the colon cancer, operated in the Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary in 2016.

Results and discussion. When analyzing the survival rate, it was noted that the overall 2-year survival rate was 80%. The analysis of survival depending on the stage showed that the total 2-year survival in patients with II stage of disease was 91,3%, and among patients with III stage it was 64,7% (p < 0,05). The overall 2-year survival for men was 68,2%, while for women it was 94,4% (p < 0,05). In patients with tumor localization in the right half of the large intestine, overall survival rates were lower compared with patients with tumor localization in the left half (62,5% and 91,7%, respectively, p < 0.05). Indicators of total 2-year survival in patients with I, II, III degree of blood loss were respectively 94,4%, 83,3%, 50% (p < 0,05).

The stage of the disease, tumor localization, sex, the degree of intraoperative blood loss, leukocytosis significantly correlate with the overall survival rates in elderly and senile patients with II–III stages of colon cancer(p < 0,05). Further study and search for new prognostic factors of surgical risk in elderly and senile patients with colorectal cancer are needed.

The ocular cardiac reflex effect study on cardiac hemodynamic parameters in healthy young mans
Authors: Palamarchuk A. I.
Published: June 2019

Purpose of the study. Investigate changes of cardiac hemodynamic parameters caused by ocular cardiac reflex triggering in healthy men’s in youthful age.

Material and methods. 120 healthy male volunteers in youthful age were examined. The mean age was (19,2 ± 0,93 years). For ocularcardiac reflex (OCR) triggering we used a patented model «Device for dosed compression effects on the eyeballs» and «The method of ocular cardiac reflex triggering». On the basis of the obtained parameters of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, by arithmetic operations, pulse pressure (PP) and average flow pressure (AFP) and integrative parameters of cardiohemodynamics (CHD) – systolic blood volume (SBV), minute blood flow volume (MBFV), volumetric blood flow rate (V), total peripheral resistance (TPR) were determined.

Results. Three main types of cardiovascular system response on OCR triggering were identified. The first type – hypertensive (n = 30 (25%) of the total number of examined subjects) was characterized by a significant (p < 0,05) increase in heart rate, SBP, DBP, PP, AFP and other integrative parameters of CHD. The second, hypotonic type of the response (62 subjects; 51,7%) was characterized by a significant (p < 0,05) decrease in SBP, DBP, PP, AFP. Patients with third, dystonic type, of response (n = 28 (23,3%) of the total number examined subjects) showed significant bilateral changes of blood pressure parameters in a nonlinear dependence of compression power on the eyeballs. Determination CHD parameters directly after and 3 and 5 minutes after decompression of the air in the compression device we enabled to determine the subtype of the mobility of the nervous centers as a feature that complements the basic type. The subtype of normal mobility was revealed in 63,3% (n = 19) of subjects with the main hypertensive type of response, 69,3% (n = 43) of subjects with the main hypotonic and 60,7 % (n = 17) with the main dystonic type of response of the cardiovascular system. The inert subtype in the mobility of the cardiovascular system were identified in 36,7% (n = 11) individuals with hypertension is the main type of response, at 30,7% (n = 19) of individuals with primary hypotonic type of response and 39,3 % (n = 11) – distancing. The obtained typological changes in blood pressure parameters caused by OCR triggering allowed to reveal predisposition to hypertension, hypotension, dystonia and to predict the development of hypertension in patients with hypertensive type of response usin appropriate primary prevention changes in life style. The highest risk of hypertension development may be in persons with hypertensive inert type of reaction of the system of regulation of blood pressure on OCR triggering. Further studies are being conducted to confirm this assumption.

Abram and Sarah’s plight of childlessness turns into the drama of a hapless Egyptian servant. Fewer than twenty Hebrew words suffice to relate Sarah’s taking Hagar, her giving her as surrogate to Abram, and his having relations with Hagar. The keys words are drawn from another story, that of Eve’s taking the forbidden fruit, her giving it to Adam, and his eating it. The latter story is retold in the former by reemploying the same verbs and sentence structures, only replacing the characters’ names and roles. The purpose of this study is to explore the literary and theological import of this intertextuality.

Published: June 2019

Introduction: Twenty years ago, the results of Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study (EVS) were adapted worldwide as the standard management of endophthalmitis. The study suggested that there was no benefit of performing vitrectomy for acute postoperative endophthalmitis, unless for patients who presents with visual acuity of light perception. However, vitrectomy with advanced technology and technique has been changed rapidly in the last decades; therefore, we need to reconsider its role. We conducted a study and the purpose of our study was to describe the indications for vitrectomy and the outcomes in acute postoperative endophthalmitis at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Methods: Our study was a descriptive-retrospective case series. We reviewed clinical and microbiological records of all patients with clinical diagnosis of acute postoperative endophthalmitis who underwent vitrectomy in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between 2007 and September 2015.  Presenting visual acuity, visual outcome and complications were described.

Result: Our study was a descriptive-retrospective case series. We reviewed clinical and microbiological records of all patients with clinical diagnosis of acute postoperative endophthalmitis who underwent vitrectomy in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between 2007 and September 2015.  Presenting visual acuity, visual outcome and complications were described.

Conclusion: An eight-year experience has taught us that vitrectomy offers better treatment outcome in the group with visual acuity of hand movement than those who only had visual acuity of light perception.

Introduction: Severe systemic hypertension in chronic kidney disease can cause significant damage to the eye. Although hypertensive retinopathy is a well-known complication, hypertensive optic neuropathy and choroidopathy are much less common. The aim of this study is to report retinal manifestation in young patient with chronic kidney disease.

Method: A 26-year-old man with underlying disease chronic kidney disease (CKD) gr-V underwent bilateral bullous exudative retinal detachments. Retinal arteriolar narrowing, vascular tortuosity, arteriovenous nicking, optic disc swelling, retinal haemorrhage, elschnig spot, siegrist streak were identified in both eyes. Blood pressure was 200/140mmHg with visual acuity 0,5/60 OU. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy with bulous exudative retinal detachments.

Results: After antihypertensive treatment, visual acuity improved, but the exudative retinal detachments and retinal hemorrhages reduced. A patient with those findings should be considered as having hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy and treated as soon as possible because of the poor prognostic.

Conclusion: Hypertensive choroidopathy is a rare finding associated with acute increases in blood pressure. When the choroid is associated, the hypertensive event is often more acute and associated with increased morbidity. It is necessary to obtain fundus exam in any patient with elevated blood pressure and concomitant vision complaints. Therefore, screening hypertensive patients involves close collaboration between internist and ophthalmologist.

Introduction: to report the characteristics, management and outcome in giant retinal tear (GRT) associated retinal detachment patients at Cicendo Eye Hospital

Methods: this retrospective study was performed on medical records who had undergone retinal detachment surgery between January 2014 and March 2017. Age, sex, etiologies, size of GRT, quadrant involvement, lens status, proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR), managements and outcomes were evaluated in association with giant retinal tears

Result: Twenty-six patients (23 males, 3 females) age between 11-59 years with follow up from 2 months to 18 months were enrolled in this study. Twenty-five eyes have retinal detachment with macular involvement and 11 patients had high myopia. Majority of patients had 90° of GRTs. Most retinal tears were located at temporal quadrant (73%). Nineteen patients had undergone pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and 7 patients had combined PPV with encircling buckle. Fifteen patients had used heavy liquid, 24 patients had silicon oil and 2 had gas tamponade. Intraoperative complications included lens trauma, retinal slippage and choroidal detached were found in 1 eye respectively. Fourteen eyes had recurrent retinal detachment. At the last follow up, 14 patients had anatomically attached retina. Twelve patients had total retinal detachment and marked PVR. Five fellow eyes were treated with prophylactic laser. Visual acuity improved in 11 eyes.

Conclusion: Giant retinal tears were more common in patients with high myopia. Management of GRT currently with PPV and PPV combined with encircling buckle. The success rate of anatomy and visual acuity was less than other previous studies

У статті розглянуто проблеми формування екологічної компетентності особистості як кінцевої мети і результату екологічної освіти. Запропоновано власне визначення поняття «екологічна компетентність учителя природничих дисциплін», яке трактуємо як здатність застосовувати систему знань, умінь та досвід екологічної діяльності у професійних і життєвих ситуаціях, розуміти й пояснювати стратегію сталого розвитку суспільства й природи; володіти практичним досвідом екологічно доцільної діяльності у довкіллі, бажанням брати особисту участь та виховувати в учнів прагнення до відновлення й збереження природного середовища; на основі пріоритетності екологічних цінностей та особистісних якостей (екологічна свідомість й самосвідомість, екологічна відповідальність й активність) формувати екологічну культуру й світогляд школярів, виявляти готовність до природоохоронної й еколого-натуралістичної роботи з учнями. Наголошується на необхідності включення екологічної компетентності до переліку базових, загальних та фахових компетентностей випускника вищого закладу освіти. Обґрунтовано методологічні основи впровадження компетентнісного підходу в процес екологічної освіти студентів природничих факультетів вищих педагогічних закладів освіти, які базуються на: онтологічних, гносеологічних, аксіологічних і праксеолгічних положеннях та підходах.
РОЛЬ ТЕОРІЇ ДОМІНАНТИ О. УХТОМСЬКОГО (1875–1942) У РОЗВИТКУ КОМПЛЕКСНОЇ НАУКИ ПРО ЛЮДИНУ
Authors: Петренко Оксана Борисівна
Published: June 2019

У статті проаналізовано спадщину видатного ученого Олексія Олексійовича Ухтомського, філософсько-світоглядна концепція якого про людину не лише підводить підсумки накопичених знань й отриманих результатів, але й визначає перспективи подальшого розвитку комплексної науки про людину. Доведено, що вчення О. Ухтомського про домінанту належить як фізіології, так і філософії та психології, а також стало підґрунтям окремих ідей кібернетики й синергетики. Схарактеризовано роль теорії домінанти у розвитку комплексної науки про людину: О. Ухтомський погодив її з фундаментальними питаннями людського буття й пізнання, її особистої соціальної сутності, поширив теорію на найбільш складні форми психічного відображення дійсності й духовного життя особистості, визнав її потужним системотворчим фактором у комплексному науковому описі найбільш складної живої системи – людини. З’ясовано, що О. Ухтомським розроблена струнка концепція людини, побудована на новому синтетичному підході до природи людини, на стику природничо-наукових і гуманітарних знань, що дало можливість ученому органічно пов’язати природничо-наукові уявлення про поведінку й психіку людини із законами моральної поведінки людини у світі, що виводять зміст і сенс життя людини за її чисто фізіологічні, природні межі. Учений довів, що людина – істота не тільки біологічна, але й історична та соціальна, вона включена у суспільну взаємодію й у процес зміни поколінь, і цим багато в чому визначаються її реакції на зовнішні виклики. Крім того, людина активна, має волю, здатна до цілеспрямованої діяльності, відносно вільна, і в міру цієї волі відповідальна. І, що дуже важливо, сприймає себе цілісно.

Розкрито якісно нове розуміння ученим «середовища» у контексті культури, яка об’єднує як індивідуальний внутрішній світ, так і колективне несвідоме, назване О. Ухтомським «досвідом батьків».

У статті доведено, що теорія домінанти О. Ухтомського може використовуватися у таких прикладних галузях, як психологія праці, спорту, медична психологія, педагогічна психологія тощо.
