Published: May 2021

Ray species have been globally threatened due to high fishing pressure and habitat loss. In southern Brazil fisheries, despite many ray species are protected by law and usually non-targeted species, they are captured along with commercially important species. However, as in all of Brazil, there is evidence that rays are consumed, that is, there is a demand for meat from these animals, which intensifies the risk of extinction. Marine ethnobiology is an alternative approach to better understand these organisms, considering the traditional empirical knowledge of fishers and local communities. Our objective is to evaluate the knowledge of local residents, fishers, and tourists about the occurrence, distribution, reproduction, and feeding of ray species and also ray consumption among them. We hypothesized that fishers and locals have a deeper ecological knowledge about rays than tourists, and fishers should know more than residents. Individual interviews were conducted for three consecutive days at Armação beach, Florianópolis, Brazil. We asked people about ray biology and ecology based on questionnaires. Each respondent was categorized into three groups: fishers, locals, and tourists; and ranked according to an index of ecological knowledge of rays. The fishers had greater knowledge about rays, followed by residents and tourists. Additionally, fishers and locals consume rays, even the trade is prohibited locally, evidencing the need for legal enforcement. The fishers’ knowledge may be essential for management of fish stocks, contributing to sustainable fishing and species conservation. In contrast, the tourists' lack of knowledge evidences the need to raise awareness of these animals.

The Afrikaner reaction to the singing of liberation songs in South Africa: The case of Julius Malema’s ‘Dubul’ ibhunu’ (Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer) song
Authors: Twala Chitja
Published: May 2021

The article traces the impact and relevance of the singing of the liberation songs by members of the African National Congress (ANC) and the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in South Africa’s new and fragile democratic dispensation. The study also highlights the reaction of the Afrikaner section of South Africa’s population, which claims that the singing of liberation songs, particularly ‘Dubul’ ibhunu’ promotes racism and hatred. Essentially, this challenge to the song by the Afrikaners was triggered by the singing of it in public by the then ANCYL President Julius Malema. The failure by Malema to refrain from singing this song led to taking the matter to the courts in order to ascertain the relevance of such songs in a democratic South Africa.

The article presents the results of the effectiveness of the combined antimicrobial drug Guinex Forte, the effect of which is caused by metronidazole and miconazole, and the Orgil tablets at the stage of pregravid preparation in women of high-risk group, with regard to the development of placental insufficiency of infectious genesis and intrauterine infection. The objective: is to demonstrate the effectiveness of pregravid preparation for the normalization of vaginal biocenosis in pregnant women of high infectious risk. Materials and methods. 150 pregnant women were investigated, of which 100 with a high risk of infectious risk for placental dysfunction and intrauterine infection: Group I – 50 pregnant women who did not undergo pregravid preparation; Group II – 50 pregnant women who planned pregnancy and conducted pregravid preparation for prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis and vaginal candidiasis; Control group consisted of 50 pregnant women who gave birth again, without obstetrical and extragenital pathology in history. per vaginum. Results. In pregnant women in Group II, an intermediate type of dysbiosis was 1.2 times less likely than in pregnant women of group I, and vice versa, normocenosis was achieved 9.7 times more often in pregnant women who received pregravid preparation. After the therapy in the pregravid period, in pregnant women of group II in the first trimester of pregnancy quantitative and qualitative indices of biocenosis of the vagina were approaching, in most cases, to normal. In general, the spectrum of the microflora decreased from 21 to 14 species due to the reduction of pathogenic forms of staphylococci, streptococci, enterobacteria, E. coli, klebsiela, cornebacteria and clostridia. In patients of group II, the concentration of representatives of resident flora increased (lactobacillus Lg 5.06±0.7 CFU / ml and bifidobacterium-Lg 4.4±0.6 CFU / ml) and close to normal. Conclusion. Our proposed scheme of therapy and prevention of dysbiotic conditions in the pregravid period, in women of high infectious risk group led to a decrease in bacterial contamination of maternity paths of pregnant women in group II, which contributes to the restoration of vaginal microbiocenosis and positively affects the course of pregnancy, the condition of the fetus and the newborn. Key words: pregravid preparation, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, placental dysfunction of infectious genesis, intrauterine infection.

Authors:   Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Kуiv, Ukraine, Kucher E.V.
Published: May 2021

Iron deficiency is one of the most urgent problems of adolescence. In the genesis of iron deficiency, a number of factors characteristic of the pubertal period are involved: accelerated rates of development, the formation of the ovarian-menstrual cycle, endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Prolonged iron deficiency to a decrease in the effectiveness of erythropoiesis, a violation of the differentiation of erythroid cells. In the case of an unresolved problem in girls in adolescence, iron deficiency in the reproductive period may have an adverse effect on the course of the gestational process, delivery, fetus and newborn condition in the future mother. The complex approach to the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency conditions in adolescent girls, the use of iron-containing preparations enriched with vitamins and microelements is topical. The objective: to study the effectiveness of correction of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls with the drug Fursinol-3, which represents a unique therapeutic complex of ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, vitamins of group B1, B2, B6, B9, C and PP. Materials and methods. Under outpatient observation, 62 patients aged 12–17 years were diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia (main group). The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical (the presence of anemic and sideropenic syndromes) and laboratory research methods. The control group consisted of 30 teenage girls of similar age without anemic syndrome. Results. Results of clinical symptomatology evaluation after 6 weeks of drug administration showed that all women with IDA had no skin pallor, asthenoneurotic syndrome was curative, and epithelial syndrome was reduced. After 3 weeks of taking the drug, the Hb level was significantly higher than the baseline data (119.02±1.27 g/L compared to 99.89±1.08 g/L; p<0.001), and after 6 weeks of administration the drug reached the age norms. The increase in hemoglobin for 6 weeks of taking the drug was 21.16±0.99 g/L. After 6 weeks of administration of the Fernistol-3 preparation, patients with IDA showed a positive dynamics of serum ferritin level in comparison with the initial level (28.36±0.52 g/L versus 10.02±0.28 g/L; p<0.001). When using the drug “Fursinol-3” no side effects were noted. All patients noted good tolerability of the drug. Conclusions. The conducted studies showed high therapeutic effectiveness, good tolerability and safety of the drug Fersinol-Z, which gives reason to use it widely for correcting iron deficiency states in girls of pubertal age.

Authors: Anggyana Rifa , Maftuh Bunyamin , Malihah Elly
Published: May 2021

Poverty is a problem faced by all nations, including Indonesia. Various kinds of policies have been made by the government to overcome this problem both in sectoral, monetary, fiscal, and other policies, but the policies have not been fully able to solve problems that occur in the field. The gap between theory and the field can be seen in the not yet implementing good zakat management. Conflict resolution to overcome this is necessary because Zakat is one of the important instruments in poverty alleviation. The more zakat that is collected and the more targeted it is in its distribution, the more it will be able to reduce existing poverty. Therefore, zakat has a crucial role in the growth of the economy and development. Seeing the fact that the potential for zakat has not been fully exploited in Indonesia, the government needs to make special policies to increase it. This research will discuss conflict resolution in terms of literature review to alleviate poverty in Indonesia, especially West Java.
The capacity of the Sanna river in conditions of the reliable flow and the control discharges of the weir in Zaklików
Authors: Michalec Bogusław
Published: May 2021

The aim of the study was to determine the capacity of a selected section of the Sanna river, designated below the lower site of the weir in Zaklików. The capacity calculations included the conditions of flood water discharge, i.e. the reliable flow and the control flow, determined in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment on technical conditions that should be ensured for the hydrotechnical structures and their locations. The paper presents the consequences of changes in the regulations regarding the determination of building type, for which reliable flow and control discharges are determined. These modifications in the regulations have an impact on changes in the determination of the probability value for water discharges related to the analysed weir. The calculation of the capacity of the tested section also took into account its technical condition, specifying the variant of calculations for the lack of maintenance works, i.e. for the current state and for the state after maintenance works, consisting in mowing vegetation on slopes and shaping the surface of river bottom, removing pits and shallows. The results of the calculations of capacity of the measured cross-sections showed that the performance of maintenance works will convey the flow of a Q3% reliable flow in the Sanna river, while the Q1% control flow will not fit into the riverbed and will cause inundation of the adjacent areas.

Published: May 2021

The systematic division into section sheets adopted in the International World Map is the standard in many countries. This division is used for most types of small-scale maps. Due to the scope of application, it is also often the basis for indexing orthophoto images and data from laser scanning. Data accummulated in central State resources cover entire countries. Their coverage includes more than information obtained and processed for the users’ needs in the source format. Increasingly often, data is transformed into formats that facilitate their application (e.g. setting up a GRID for a digital terrain model). The need for quick spatial identification is a determinant of the availability of resources stored in these databases. The dynamic development of Open Source software in the fields of GIS is another increasingly broad area of study, and the research focus of scientists from around the world. They see it not only as a ready-made tool for conducting spatial analyses, but also in terms of searching for algorithmic solutions to meet the needs resulting from the requirement to process ever larger amounts of this type of data. The present paper discusses the method for designating a map sheet identification number (index) in a selected scale, based on the longitude and latitude of the given point. An unquestionable advantage of the presented solution is the possibility of dividing map sheets into scales, which were missing in their basic description. It follows from the fact that this spatial indexing method is indispensable for large amounts of data.

Cranberry consumption has numerous health benefits, with experimental reports showing its anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. Importantly, microbiome research has demonstrated that the gastrointestinal bacterial community modulates host immunity, raising the question of whether the cranberry-derived effect may be related to its ability to modulate the microbiome. Only a few studies have investigated the effect of cranberry products on the microbiome to date. Especially because cranberries are rich in dietary fibers, the extent of microbiome modulation by polyphenols, particularly proanthocyanidins (PACs), remains to be shown. Since previous work has only focused on long-term effects of cranberry extracts, in this study we investigated the effect of a water-soluble, PAC-rich cranberry juice extract (CJE) on the short-term dynamics of a human-derived bacterial community in a gnotobiotic mouse model. CJE characterization revealed a high enrichment in PACs (57%), the highest ever utilized in a microbiome study. In a 37-day experiment with a ten-day CJE intervention and 14-day recovery phase, we profiled the microbiota via 16S rRNA sequencing and applied diverse time-series analytics methods to identify individual bacterial responses. We show that daily administration of CJE induces distinct dynamic patterns in bacterial abundances during and after treatment, before recovering resiliently to pre-treatment levels. Specifically, we observed an increase of Akkermansia muciniphila and Clostridium hiranonis at the expense of Bacteroides ovatus after the offset of the selection pressure imposed by the PAC-rich CJE. This demonstrates that termination of an intervention with a cranberry product can induce changes of a magnitude as high as the intervention itself.
Frequency of Dark Septate Endophytes Colonization in Iris germanica L.
Authors: CRIȘAN Ioana
Published: May 2021

Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are a group of fungi from phylum Ascomycota that develop inside healthy root tissue of a wide range of plants from diverse habitats. They play a role in nutrient acquisition and survival of their hosts in limiting conditions. Aim of this research was to identify the seasonal occurrence of dark septate endophytes across a cultivar gradient in urban conditions from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Root samples from six Iris germanica cultivars were collected in spring and autumn. Microscopic assessment was conducted on 2160 root segments. Average DSE frequency in roots of Iris germanica was 14.58%. Analysis of variance revealed that influence exercised by the cultivar was not significant (p=0.37), but the interaction between cultivar and phenophase explained 53.97% of overall variance. DSE were identified in all six cultivars, indicating either to a similar susceptibility of the host genotype or lack of specificity of the fungal endophyte. Unravelling the functional roles of these fungi could contribute to a better understating of plant-fungi interactions in anthropic environments.
Phytoremediation Potential of Iris spp.

Published: May 2021

Iris plants are widely cultivated flowering ornamentals, with a long history of traditional use in Eurasia, where this genus is reaching the highest diversity. This paper aims to provide an overview on recent advances related to the phytoremediation potential of plants from the genus Iris, in order to promote the use of these species in phytoremediation programs. According to the relevant literature, eight species from genus Iris present phytoremediation potential (I. dichotoma, I. germanica, I. halophila, I. lactea, I. latifolia, I. pseudacorus, I. sibirica, I. wilsonii). The studies addressed potential of plants to mitigate toxic metals/metalloids (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn), excess of nutrients (P, N), pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals as well as dyes. Most studies focused on wastewater treatment and environments contaminated due to mining activities. Main hindrances in upscaling this green technology remain mitigation of toxicity stress in plants during remediation and the disposal of resulting contaminated biomass. In this sense, use of beneficial microorganisms to alleviate phytotoxicity effects and new valorization possibilities of contaminated Iris spp. biomass have been proposed recently. Designing an entire cycle that includes phytoremediation and sustainable value chains for contaminated biomass could prove feasible and should receive more attention.
A Fast and Robust FTIR-ATR Coupled Chemometric Determination of Chemical and Molecular Structure of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under a Series of Microbial Fermentation Processes
Authors: YASAR Sulhattin , TOSUN Ramazan
Published: May 2021

This study aimed to ferment wheat grain by optimised bacteria, yeast and fungal fermentations. Crude protein, tannin, phytic acid and lactic acid contents of samples taken at 24 h intervals determined by chemical methods were compared with those of infrared (IR) spectro-chemometry. Secondary protein components were further quantified with IR spectra deconvolution method. The results indicated that some fermentations increased crude protein of wheat, whilst its tannin and phytic acid degraded in all fermentations. Wheat enriched with lactic acid content in all fermentations. FT-IR spectroscopic method accurately (99.99% of recovery) and precisely (regression coefficient of prediction R2 = 0.999, P <0.0001) predicted these nutrient contents. Fermentation positively caused a re-organised secondary protein conformation; the percentages of β-sheet and α-helix increased by 68 and 140%, respectively, whereas the random coil decreased by 63%. FT-IR spectrometry combined with suitable chemometric tools provided a fast and robust monitoring of chemical and structural changes during microbial fermentation.
Gravel Quarries Could Affect Vimba Bream (Vimba vimba Linnaeus 1758) Populations from Someș River, Romania
Authors: PĂPUC Tudor
Published: May 2021

The European stocks of vimba bream (Vimba vimba) are presently declining, having a "vulnerable" status in some countries. In Romania, there is a lack of scientific studies regarding the species. In order to supplement existing information about this species, specimens of vimba bream were collected from the middle sector of Someș River (Transylvania). Age, length and weight were recorded from 4 sampling points, near gravel quarries. The results show that only young specimens were found. The highest total length value was 22.77 cm, while the highest weight recorded was 121.08 g. Most vimba bream were captured in the first location, where less anthropogenic pressure exists. The populations are in decline in this region because of gravel quarries, among other factors.

Lead is a toxic metal that is found in both organic and inorganic forms. The maximum allowed values of lead contamination of foods are established in accordance with European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006. The aim of this paper is to follow the dynamics of lead contamination present in various products of non-animal origin. During 2017-2019, various food samples were collected and analysed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), to determine lead contamination. The samples came from different counties of the country and from Bucharest. The analysed samples (fruits, wine, vegetables, mushrooms and cereals) show a reduced contamination with lead, compared to the fruit juice samples, although no exceedances of the maximum allowed limits were identified. Following the research, evidence of lead food contamination has been identified, but the average values are within the maximum allowed limits.

Published: May 2021

Plant-based medicine is a popular emerging field. If one follows the research of this domain, will observe that the majority of the work is focused on different herbs as medicinal plants. However, many vegetables and fruits, their juices and extracts, possess medicinal properties and have been used as such since ancient times. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is one of the main aliments in many countries. Although regarded as a staple food, people observed its beneficial and medicinal properties. Bioactive components such as anthocyanin, polyphenolic compounds, coumarins, calystegines and triterpenes have been indicated to stimulate immune function, reducing oxidative stress and free radical damage, reduce cardiovascular disease risk, suppress cancer cell growth, prevent and improve symptoms of diabetes and hypoglycemia, suppress HIV symptoms, act as hepatoprotective while being part of a nutritious aliment all together. A sweet potato diet can therefore supplement medication for any of the above-mentioned affections. The current article sets to review the benefits and medicinal properties of sweet potato as regarded by specialty literature. The outcome is to list the main components and the medical benefits observed, outlining the potential uses of Ipomoea batatas in the plant-based medicine field. The review sets to investigate components in all plant parts: tuberous roots, leaves and young shoots.

Published: May 2021

The scientific interest in natural food flavors is growing considering concerns of the population related to food safety. Aromatic plants and their concentrated forms (essential oils and phenolic extracts) are highly considered for health benefits, mainly due to antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Meanwhile the authenticity and safety of essential oils is a strong concern.  Comparative signatures of six genuine, essential oils (Thyme, Juniperus, Oregano, Tea tree, Clove and Cinnamon) was obtained by Gas chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry, using a metabolomic approach, by an updated statistical tool available online Metaboanalyst 5.0. The key-molecules of each oil were identified and the multivariate analysis combined with correlation heatmaps reflected the predictability of around 15 putative biomarkers, such as thymol and p-cymene for Thyme, α-pinene, β-myrcene and sabinene for Juniperus, carvacrol for Oregano, terpinene derivatives for Tea tree, eugenol, eugenol acetate for Clove, cinnamaldehyde for Cinnamon.  Since these oils are used frequently as ingredients in food supplements and food flavors, this study offers an accurate evaluation and interpretation of the authenticity of these oils based on biomarker identification, easy to be done also from food matrices. The adulteration of similar commercial oils, of synthetic or degraded specimens is also possible using this model.

Published: May 2021

Endometritis is the most common cause of subfertility and infertility in mares that leads to great economical loss. Endometrial cytology (EC) is a reliable diagnostic tool, widely used to assess the health of the reproductive tract in both humans and domestic mammals. The aim of this study was to compare two techniques for the collection of EC samples in chronically infertile mares. Ten mares aged 4 to 20 were used. In each mare, samples for EC were collected first by cytology brush (CB) and then by low volume lavage (LVL) and stained using the Diff Quick stain. Each sample was assessed for the following parameters: background of the slides, quality and quantity of the cells obtained, number of inflammatory cells. Also, we assessed the number of operators, time and costs needed for each technique. More debris was noticed in the LVL samples, as well as a higher percentage of distorted cells. However, inflammatory cells were detected in all positive samples. Sampling by LVL required two to three operators and recovery of the lavage fluid was sometimes difficult. In conclusion, both techniques are accurate for the detection of uterine inflammation.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sprouted fenugreek incorporation into the diet of rabbits on their dairy and growth performances. Data from 24 lactations performed by 8 Californian rabbit does were studied. They were divided into 2 homogeneous groups, a control (batch C) having received an ordinary ration and an experimental (batch E) having received the same ration supplemented with sprouted fenugreek. Growth rates of suckling pups were also recorded. Then, Growth performance of 152 young rabbits’ issue from these females was monitored. They were divided into 4 homogeneous groups, one control having received an ordinary diet (batch C) and 3 experimental having received the same diet with substitution of 12%, 15% and 25% (batch E1, E3 and E3) of the concentrate by sprouted fenugreek. The results showed an improvement in the dairy performance of the rabbit does of batch E, with an average peak lactation of 287 g/d vs 236 g/d in batch C (p <0.01). The daily weight gain of suckling pups was better in batch E (13 g/d vs 11.7 g/d; p <0.01). Likewise, the weaned young rabbits of the experimental batches recorded higher growth rates than the control batch (p <0.01). Sprouted fenugreek incorporation into the rabbit’s ration allowed to improve their performances.

Published: May 2021

Bovine mastitis is a cause of major financial losses in the dairy industry worldwide. Bovine mastitis is defined as the inflammatory response of the udder tissue due to either physical trauma or infections caused by different microorganisms, especially bacteria. More than 135 pathogenic agents have been identified from bovine mastitis. The aim of the study was to identify the bacterial genera involved in mastitis etiology in cattle and to test the antimicrobial susceptibility to antibiotics. The samples were collected before morning milking and evaluated by microscopic and cultural examination, and further identified using biochemical methods. The evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility was performed using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. Overall, Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., Micrococcus spp., Escherichia spp. and Trueperella spp. were identified. The most frequent bacterial associations were observed for Staphylococcus-Bacillus, Bacillus-Streptococcus and Staphylococcus-Micrococcus. Regarding the antimicrobial sensitivity profile, the majority of the bacterial strains we have isolated were classified as sensitive, with the exception of Escherichia coli, with one strain being resistant to all tested antibiotics. Among the antimicrobials, the Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid was the most efficient one and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole did not exhibit an inhibitory activity in 19 milk samples.
Cultura, identidad y resistencia: Elementos para un debate en torno al papel de la gestión cultural en la construcción de la identidad comunitaria
Authors: Montero Marcelo
Published: May 2021

El artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre el potencial de la gestión cultural como herramienta de resistencia a las dinámicas hegemónicas del capitalismo y el papel del arte colectivo como instrumento de construcción de identidad comunitaria.

En primer lugar, se trabajan los conceptos de hegemonía y violencia simbólica y su relación con la cultura; en segundo lugar, se abordan los desafíos y contradicciones en la ampliación de los repertorios artísticos; y finalmente se reflexiona sobre la construcción comunitaria de lo simbólico, para repensar el carácter político de la gestión cultural.

Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was first identified in Wuhan, China's Hubei province in December 2019, and affected the whole world, although it may seem that it affects the elderly and its comorbid population more seriously, as the data on the disease increased, it was observed that the disease significantly affected young and non-comorbid people as well.
Material and Method:789 students consisting of two year degree and undergraduate university students who have formal education in İstanbul province were included in the research. In the research, a data collection tool consisting of four parts, namely Sociodemographic Data Form, Health Anxiety Scale (HAS), Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) and DSM-5 Level 2 Physical Symptoms Scale (PSS) were used.
Results: it was determined that as students’ health anxiety levels were 31.9%, death anxiety levels were 48.3%, and physical symptom severity levels were 32.6%. The fact that the person has a COVID-19 contact history and hospital application or hospitalization in near of kin and the test is positive, makes a significant impact in effect of health anxiety on death anxiety and physical symptom severity and the effect of death anxiety on bodily symptom severity.
Conclusion: When the psychiatric results of the pandemic were evaluated, it was found that the students had below the average health anxiety and physical symptom severity and moderate death anxiety. Therefore, this result shows that the young population also has serious mental uneasiness.

We present an algorithm for computing the Stickelberger ideal for multiquadratic fields K = Q(√d1,√d2, . . . , √dn), where the integers di ≡ 1 mod 4 for i ∈ {1, . . . , n} or dj ≡ 2 mod 8 for one j ∈ {1, . . . , n}; all di’s are pairwise co-prime and squarefree. Our result is based on the paper of Kuˇcera [J. Number Theory, no. 56, 1996]. The algorithm we present works in time O(lg ∆K • 2n• poly(n)), where ∆K is the discriminant of K. As an interesting application, we show a connection between Stickelberger ideal and the class number of a multiquadratic field

The existence of a biorthogonal decomposition of the space V of dimension n over the field GF(q) is constructively proved, namely, two representations of it are obtained as direct sums of subspaces V = W0⊕W1⊕. . .⊕WJ⊕VJ and V = W˜0⊕W˜1⊕. . .⊕W˜J⊕V˜J ,such that at the j-th level of the decomposition, for 0 < j 6 J, Vj−1 = Vj⊕Wj , V˜j−1 == V˜j ⊕ W˜j , the subspace Vj is orthogonal to W˜j , and the subspace Wj is orthogonal to V˜j . The partition of the space at the j-th level is made with the help of pairs of level filters (hj, gj) and (h˜j, g˜j), for the construction of which the corresponding algorithms have been developed and theoretically proved. A new family of biorthogonal wavelet codes is built on the basis of the multilevel wavelet decomposition scheme with coding rate 2−L, where L is the number of used decomposition levels, and examples of such codes are given.

Introduction: Skin diseases can adversely affect the quality of life of an individual. Adolescence is acritical time in biophysical development and adverse skin conditions during this period can alter thegrowth in self-confidence and self-esteem and social engagement. Purpose: The present study wasdesigned to assess the burden, the pattern of skin diseases and their impact on their quality of life inadolescent students. Materials and Methods: A total of 23 schools having 3581 students between10-16 years of age were visited, out of which 3367 students were covered and screened. Skincharacteristics such as the severity of skin disease were recorded by the attended physician. Adermatology life quality index (DLQI) questionnaire was used to assess the effect of skin diseases ontheir quality of life. Results: Among the total cases 2,783 (82%) had skin diseases, of the651(19%) had two or more 2 skin diseases. Prevalence of infectious skin diseases was more in (10-12) young age groups 78.5% as compared to (13-16) later age groups of 55.2% (p<0.01).Pediculosis (52%) has a high point of prevalence, followed by scabies (25%), Pityriasis alba (6.6%),Seborrheic dermatitis (5%), Pyoderma (3.3%), Acne (2.6%) and Tinea (2%). Pediculosis andscabies together constitute 77% of all skin diseases. Conclusion: Good hygiene practices likeregular bathing, regular head wash, and hand wash should be taught to children. Hence training ofschool teachers and PHC doctors regarding the management of common skin diseases and Healtheducation to parents or guardians of children about Hygienic measures, sexual behaviour and needof seeking medical advice.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar, desde la teoría de la autodeterminación, el rol de los procesos motivacionales como predictores de la práctica de la actividad física durante el tiempo libre de los estudiantes universitarios colombianos. 193 estudiantes completaron cuestionarios autoadministrados sobre percepción del apoyo del docente de educación física, satisfacción y frustración de necesidades psicológicas básicas, regulación motivacional, percepción del soporte social y actividad física durante el tiempo libre. El modelo evidenció correlación positiva y significativa entre el apoyo y la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, la motivación autodeterminada y el apoyo social para la actividad física total y la actividad física moderada-vigorosa, resultados coincidentes con el análisis de regresión multinomial y de manera con la regresión lineal, en el cual se destacaron la edad, la motivación autónoma y el apoyo a la autonomía como predictores significativos. La actividad física durante el tiempo libre puede predecirse a partir de factores motivacionales y la de los estudiantes en la clase de educación física en el contexto escolar.
