Published: September 2024

Global economic activities are increasingly relying on natural and environmental resources for their growth, leading to significant ecological impacts. The rapid rise in global warming, driven by various human activities, has negatively affected human life, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. As a result, green marketing has emerged as both a major challenge and an opportunity for companies worldwide. Terms like green technology, green strategy, and green marketing are gaining importance. This research presents a descriptive study using secondary data, concentrating on companies that have embraced green or eco-friendly products. It looks at how these organizations have incorporated green marketing strategies, the obstacles they've faced, and the importance of green technology in modern sustainability, particularly in Indian businesses. The report provides insights into how these organizations' business strategies include green practices and contribute to sustainable development.
TRAUMATOGENIC FEELINGS: A STUDY OF LITERARY AND CINEMATIC REPRESENTATIONS IN SELECT WORKS
Authors: Joy Heavenly , K. Balakrishnan
Published: September 2024

The creative expressions of traumas can be literary works, blogs, films or documentaries. Such works do serve in expurgating the traumatogenic feelings in given situations almost in a cathartic manner. This paper aims to analyze the representations of trauma in select works-novels adapted into films. It tries to bring out the significance of educating people about trauma with the help of literary and cinematic depictions. Critics like Anne Whitehead and Michael Rothberg have studied various representations of trauma. However, this paper considers the role of media in informing people of probable traumatic situations. A close reading of literary and cinematic representations of trauma in The Secret Life of Bees, and We Need to Talk about Kevin is attempted here to understand the impact of traumatogenic feelings in individuals caught in convulsive situations. The Secret Life of Bees (2008) by Gina Prince-Bythewood is an adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd’s novel of the same title. It presents the story of Lily Owens, who has lost her mother at the tender age of four. She stays with her abusive father T Ray and their servant Rosaleen. Her life is engulfed with many unfavourable conditions, which she battles along with Rosaleen. We Need to Talk about Kevin (2011) is the filmic adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s novel of the same name. It narrates the story of Kevin who murders his father and sister. The selected representations will show how children are vulnerable to traumas, as a shaping factor in their conduct and behaviour- thus giving the analysis a psychoanalytic touch-which bears on the cultural consequences of traumatic experiences.

Published: September 2024

Primary adrenocortical insufficiency or Addison’s disease (AD) is a rare, life-threatening condition with different aetiologies, but the most common cause is autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) can present as an isolated condition or associated with others, as part of an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS). The aim of this work is to investigate and emphasise the roles of autoantibodies in adrenocortical insufficiency, through the description of three clinical cases.

Authors: Andrew K Hillman , Phil Ramis , Patrick Nielsen , Eric M Rohren
Published: September 2024

Purpose of the study: To evaluate the performance of Best Practice Recommendation (BPR) compliance in reporting abdominal aortic aneurysm findings on imaging, comparing the results before and after its deployment. Methods: Best Practice Recommendations for AAA were deployed in 2020 at a large radiology practice site. Reports between January 2018 through October 2022 were reviewed, representing studies read prior to and subsequent to the implementation of the reporting standards. Cases of abdominal aortic aneurysms ≥ 2.6 cm were counted by year. Adherence to the BPR for each year was calculated as [total number of confirmed cases of ≥ 2.6 cm AAAs with compliant reports] * 100 / [the total number of confirmed ≥ 2.6 cm AAAs]. A secondary analysis was performed to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of BPR-compliant reports for AAA cases before (from 2018 to 2019) and after (from 2020 to 2022) BPR deployment using a chi-square test. Results: From January 2018 to December 2022, there were 8,693 reports referencing AAA. After excluding cases of suspected AAA (N = 2,131), confirmed AAAs with indeterminate sizes (N = 103), and confirmed AAAs with sizes < 2.6 cm (N = 85), the number of AAA cases ≥ 2.6 cm in size was 6,374. Concordance with the BPR standards for the remaining cases with sizes ≥ 2.6 cm were 1.6% and 4.1% in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Post-implementation of BPRs, there was a substantial improvement in guideline adherence to 32.1%, 84.3%, and 83.6% in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively. In general, the proportion of BPR-compliant reports of AAA cases in the pre-deployment (3.6%) period statistically differs (p - value < 0.0001) from those in the post-deployment period (73.9%) Conclusion: Adherence to reporting standards increased after the BPR deployment in 2020. The inclusion of management recommendations in the radiology report when AAA is identified is a simple and cost-effective way of improving outcomes for patients with AAAs through appropriate follow-up treatment.
Prognostic value of hematological indicators in preeclampsia
Authors: Pylypenko A.V.
Published: September 2024

The objective: to evaluate the changes in hematological indicators as early predictors of the development of preeclampsia.Materials and methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted with the participation of 49 pregnant women in the period from March 2020 to January 2022. All women were observed in the women’s consultation of the private medical center “Leleka”.Pregnant women were divided into two groups: the main group – women who were diagnosed with preeclampsia at >20 weeks of pregnancy, n=20), and the control group (n=29) – women without preeclampsia during pregnancy.Each woman underwent a general blood test, the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), allergy index (AI), immunoreactivity index (II), adaptation index (А) in I (up to 12 weeks), II (13–27 weeks) and III (from 28 weeks) trimesters of pregnancy, respectively, were calculated.Results. Pregnant women, in whom subsequently preeclampsia developed, had statistically significant differences in white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) compared to controls.The AI index decreased statistically significantly in the control group in the II trimester compared to the I trimester (р=0.05), while the changes in the main group were statistically insignificant. The median AI indicator in the main group decreases by 22.7% in the II trimester, and increases by 8.9% in the III trimester; in the control group the median AI decreases by 12.3% and 7.5%, respectively.The median adaptation index in the main group statistically significantly decreases by 25.7% in the II trimester and increases by 19.2% in the III trimester. In the control group, this index does not increase in the III trimester.Conclusions. The dynamics of the main hematological indicators and calculated indices can be useful for predicting of preeclampsia development. Carrying out a general blood test as a widely available method is possible in order to stratify the individual risk of preeclampsia development in combination with other generally accepted factors of this complication.High values of leukocytes and ESR in the early terms of pregnancy in women who subsequently developed preeclampsia confirm the role of inflammation as an etiopathogenetic factor. A change in the integral hematological indices of allergy and adaptation can be an early predictor of preeclampsia.The results of this study predict the presence of preeclampsia clusters, the determination of the mechanisms of which will allow to expand the possibilities of preventive measures, which needs to be confirmed in large-scale randomized studies in the future.

The paper compares the possibilities for describing high latitude ionospheric irregularities with characteristic horizontal scales of several tens of kilometers with ROTI index, based on the reception of GPS and Parus/Transit signals. It is shown that in the case of GPS, the maximum ROTI values are observed in the regions of the auroral oval and polar cap, while for Parus/Transit there is an additional region associated with the field aligned enhancement of phase and TEC fluctuations for observations in the direction of the magnetic zenith. Such differences are associated with the inclinations of the orbits of low-orbit (Parus/Transit) and medium-orbit (GPS) satellites, the latter of which does not effectively scan the magnetic zenith region for receivers located at high latitudes. In addition, there are significant, up to 2 times, differences in the ROTI index values according to GPS and Parus/Transit data, which is associated with different speeds of movement of satellite ionospheric piercing points and their mutual orientation with the plasma drift speed in high latitudes, which can lead to a mismatch in the characteristic horizontal scales of irregularities to which the ROTI index demonstrates maximum sensitivity.

Published: September 2024

Background. Excessive consumption of sucrose or protein deficiency in the diet can induce metabolic disorders in the kidney, whose functioning requires significant ATP energy expenditure. The study investigated the levels of the purine nucleotides ATP, ADP, AMP, and the activity of the enzymes FoF1-ATPase, 5′-nucleotidase, and AMP deaminase in the kidneys of rats exposed to different levels of protein and sucrose in their diet. Materials and Methods. The research was conducted on white non-linear rats, which were kept under different dietary regimens for a period of 4 weeks. Quantitative evaluation of the ATP, ADP, and AMP content was performed by thin-layer chromatography on Silufol sheets. FoF1-ATPase activity was determined by the accumulation of Pi. 5′-nucleotidase activity was measured based on the amount of inorganic phosphorus released in AMP hydrolysis. AMP deaminase activity was determined by the accumulation of ammonia. Results and Discussion. Research results revealed that in the mitochondria of the animals’ kidneys under conditions of low-protein diet, a significant reduction in AMP content was observed compared to the control, while ATP and ADP content remained unchanged. Simultaneously, the activities of 5′-nucleotidase, AMP deaminase, and FoF1-ATPase in the kidneys of animals on a low-protein diet were maintained at control levels. However, in rats maintained on a low-protein/high-sucrose diet, depletion of all adenine nucleotides is observed against an increase in the hydrolytic activity of FoF1-ATPase, AMP deaminase, and 5′-nucleotidase activities. The 5′-nucleotidase activity in animals of this group reaches maximum values in comparison with the control, indica­ting an enhanced AMP degradation mediated by 5′-nucleotidase in the conditions of low-protein/high-sucrose diet consumption. Conclusion. Excessive sucrose consumption in the context of dietary protein deficiency is accompanied by a depletion of the adenine nucleotides pool in the mitochondrial fraction and a significantly increased activity of purine catabolism enzymes in the cytosolic fraction of rat kidneys. This may result in an imbalance in the energy supply of renal cells. The obtained results open up prospects for developing a strategy for correc­ting energy metabolism disorders in the conditions of nutritional imbalance.
Nomenclature notes on vegetation of the Salicetea purpureae Moor 1958 class in Ukraine
Authors:   Botanical Garden of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Borsukevych Liubov
Published: September 2024

A brief history of the syntaxonomic studies of floodplain vegetation of the Salicetea purpureae class in Ukraine is presented and the tasks of further research are established. Our study has shown that the vegetation of the class includes more than 30 associations, which belong to 6 alliances and 2 orders. According to the ecological peculiarities, they are divided into willow shrubs on the gravel banks of streams in the montane and subalpine belts of the temperate and boreal zones of Europe and the Caucasus (Salicion eleagno-daphnoidis), willow and poplar forests of lowland and foothill rivers formed on alluvium in the nemoral zone of Europe and at high altitudes in the Mediterranean region (Salicion albae), willow shrubs on the sandy-loamy soils of the river banks of lowlands and foothills of the nemoral zone of Europe (Salicion triandrae), willow shrubs on riverine dunes in central Ukraine (Artemisio dniproicae-Salicion acutifoliae), shrubs on temporarily flooded clay soils in central Ukraine (Rubo caesi-Amorphion fruticosae). The problems of using the phytosociological nomenclature during the analysis of the Salicetea purpureae vegetation on the territory of Ukraine are highlighted. It was found that half of the syntaxa listed in Ukrainian geobotanical literature are synonyms, published invalidly, or need typification. Every syntaxon is accompanied by explanations of its non-validity with citations of the relevant articles published in the 4th edition of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. In addition to the incorrectly cited associations, two of the six alliances (Artemisio dniproicae-Salicion acutifoliae, Rubo caesii-Amorphion fruticosae) also require correction because their description was based on the invalid nomenclatural types formed by the selection of species which are invalid according to The Euro+Med PlantBase. In this paper, we aimed to analyze the studies on the vegetation of the Salicetea purpureae class on the territory of Ukraine using the Braun–Blanquet approach, determine the issues that require more detailed research in the future, and make some notes on nomenclature discordances. Such review makes it possible to determine all mismatches in phytosociological nomenclature.

Background. One of the most important antioxidant defence mechanism in spermatozoa is the gluthatione system which includes glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and reduced glutathione (GSH). It is promising to use ROC analysis, which allows to assessing the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of indicators. Materials and methods. Infertile men were divided into 3 groups: patients with oligozoospermia (n = 30), asthenozoospermia (n = 34), and oligoasthenozoospermia (n = 22). To assess the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of indicators, the values of the biomarkers were tested using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under it (AUC), the standard error (SE) and the 95% confidence interval (CI 95%) were calculated. Results. The ROC analysis showed that GP activity was characterized by excellent diagnostic significance for diagnosing both oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia (the sensitivity was 100%, and specificity – 100%). The GR activity has moderate diagnostic significance, since the AUC is 0.654 (95% CI from 0.503 to 0.785, P = 0.0645) for oligozoospermic, the AUC is 0.612 (95% CI from 0.454 to 0.7555, P = 0.1979) for asthenozoospermic men. The analysis of the ROC curve revealed a good diagnostic value of GsT activity in sperm samples for the diagnosis of pathospermia (sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 80%). Simultaneously, it was shown that GSH content could not serve as valuable biomarkers for distinguishing patients with pathospermia from healthy controls, with an AUC of 0.615, corresponding to moderate diagnostic significance for oligozoospermia. Conclusion. The results of this study show that the cut-off points for the biomar­kers glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase can be used to distinguish between patients with pathospermia and normozoospermia, and the parameters themselves can serve as valuable diagnostic biomarkers to distinguish patients with pathospermia from healthy controls, regardless of the causes of pathospermia. The value of these indicators below the cut-off point indicates the probable presence of pathology. Indicators of GR activity and GSH content have a low diagnostic value, which makes them unsuitable for use as laboratory tests for the diagnosis of male infertility.

Background. At present, creating and testing pharmacological instruments for selective inhibition of Са2+-pump of the plasma membrane, which would become the foundation for medical preparations, for instance, for the treatment of the impaired excitability of the cardiac and smooth muscles, remains critically significant. We have demon­strated in our previous experiments that calix[4]arene С-956 is effective in inhibi­ting Са2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity of the plasma membrane of myometrium cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the regularities and mechanisms of the impact of calix[4]arene С-956 on Са2+-transporting activity of Са2+, Mg2+-ATPase of the plasma membrane (PM) and the contractile function of rat myometrium. Materials and Methods. The experiments were conducted using outbred white non-pregnant rats. Ca2+-transporting activity of myocytes PM preparations loaded with Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probe fluo-4 AM was investigated. The registration of the contractile activity in the preparations of longitudinal smooth muscles of uterine horns with preserved endothelium was done in the isometric mode. Results. It was determined that calix[4]arene C-956 causes blocking of the transport function of the calcium pump of preparations of plasma membranes of uterine myocytes. The C-956 compound causes an increase in the amplitude of spontaneous contractions and a change in their mechanokinetic parameters during a short-term effect on multicellular preparations of rat myometrium. Calix[4]arene C-956 also significantly affects the contractions caused by high-potassium depolarization of the PM and oxytocin, increa­sing their amplitude and decreasing the rate of relaxation. Blocking the synthesis of nitric oxide significantly enhances the effects of C-956 on spontaneous and high-potassium- and oxytocin-induced contractions of the myometrium. Conclusions. The results of our research indicate that the main target of the action of calix[4]arene C-956 on myocytes is the calcium pump of the PM. With the preliminary inhibition of nitric oxide synthases followed by the use of C-956, we were able to fully demonstrate the contribution of the calcium pump of the PM to the regulation of uterine contractions.

Authors: Apriliya Devi Rista
Published: September 2024

Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui pendidikan karakter pada anak ketika pembelajaran daring berlangsung.  Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini yaitu studi literatur atau kepustakaan. Menurut Arikunto (2013), studi literatur merupakan penelitian yang dilakukan dengan membaca sumber-sumber terpercaya untuk mendapatkan data yang diperlukan. Nazir (2014) menambahkan bahwa data-data tersebut berasal dari data sekunder yang berasal dari buku teks, jurnal, atau sumber-sumber yang lain. Data yang dikumpulkan, dianalisis secara kualitatif dan melalui beberapa proses seperti collecting (pengumpulan), data reduction (reduksi data), data display (penyajian data, dan conclusion (penyimpulan). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan karakter pada anak cenderung menurun karena jarangnya pengawasan guru, orangtua dan minimnya pemahaman tentang pentingnya pendidikan karakter pada anak. Penanaman pendidikan karakter tidak hanya dilakukan oleh guru, namun perlu bantuan dari beberpa pihak. Terutama di pembelajaran daring yang di mana orang yang paling sering mengawasi adalah orangtua bukannya guru. Solusi dari permasalah pendidikan karakter yang cenderung menurun adalah dengan memberikan pemahaman dengan mempertimbangkan aspek sifat, pengetahuan dan tindakan.

Islam datang ke nusantara (Indonesia ) tidak dapat dipisahkan dari nuansa di mana Islam itu lahir. Akan tetapi, Islam masuk ke Indonesia mampu beradaptasi dengan kebudayaan lokal. Proses persenyawaan keislaman dengan kenusantaraan, menjadikan Islam yang ada di nusantara ini, mudah diterima oleh masyarakat. Tidak ada resistensi, yang ada adalah penyambutan. Sungguhpun ada modifikasi,  itu tidak lebih dari injeksi nilai-nilai keislaman dalam tradisi yang telah ada. Dalam perkembangannya, Islam nusantara dengan wataknya yang moderat dan apresiatif terhadap budaya lokal, serta memihak pada warga setempat dalam menghadapi tantangan, menyebabkan Islam diterima sebagai agama baru. Bukti nyata dari proses persenyawaan antara Islam dan budaya lokal, dapat ditemukan dalam bentuk karya Babad, hikayat, lontara, sastra suluk, mitologi. Kemudian dari segi bentuk arsitektur bangunan-bangunan atap masjid Demak yang berlapis sembilan “dari Meru” pra Islam, kemudian diganti oleh Sunan Kalijaga menjadi tiga yang melambangkan Iman, Islam, dan Ihsan.

It explores recent work calling into question the glymphatic mechanism of clearance during sleep, thus calling for further research to understand glymphatic mechanisms and/or uncover the true mechanism of clearance during sleep. Methods of measuring of glymphatic flow are reviewed, suggesting that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be the best approach to resolve this controversy. Furthermore, this review explores the therapeutic potential of dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) in mitigating sleep disturbances associated with AD. DORAs promote sleep, and thereby may enhance clearance during sleep, regardless of the precise mechanism (glymphatic or other), offering a promising avenue for slowing AD progression and improving long term patient outcomes. More research is crucial to elucidate a potential linkage between DORAs, improved sleep and facilitating remediation of AD pathophysiology.

Best Practice in Standardized Ultrasound Reporting
Authors: Doyon Valerie , Tuomi Stephan , King Chris
Published: September 2024

The past couple of decades have seen a considerable rise in the standardization of imaging reports. Standardized reports are superior to traditional prose reports in multiple measures, including accuracy, clarity, comprehensiveness, and efficiency. Owing to clinical interactions between sonographers and radiologists, ultrasound has the potential to have tremendous benefits from standardized reporting. However, ultrasound examinations are reported to be notoriously challenging to standardize and receive low uptake. A narrative literature review was conducted using articles published from 1980 through May 2021. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched with terms such as ultrasound, sonography, standardized, report, and their Medical Subject Heading terms. This review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of standardized reporting and summarizes the literature regarding structure, content, language, measurements, and guiding principles to be considered when creating standardized reports. With a special focus on its uses in sonography, the aim of this article is to act as a helpful guide for ultrasound program leaders in the implementation of standardized reporting at their institutions.
