Clinicomycological study of pityriasis versicolor
Authors: Anaz K K , Vineetha Mary , Celine MI
Published: June 2022

Background: Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a mild chronic infection of the skin caused by Malassezia yeasts, and characterized by discrete or confluent scaly, discolored or dyspigmented areas, mainly on the upper trunk. Wood’s lamp examination and potassium hydroxide (KOH) smear are essential tools to diagnose certain cases of PV. KOH smear examination is simple but may be difficult to interpret sometimes. Lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) mount helps to visualize the hyphae and spores more clearly4. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the clinical features, epidemiological factors as well as KOH smear and LPCB findings in cases of PV.
Aims and Objectives: To study the clinicomycological and epidemiological profile of PV in patients attending the department of Dermatology and Venereology, Government medical college, Kottayam.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done for a period of 18 months. All clinically diagnosed cases of PV were included in the study. A detailed history taking and clinical examination to asses the epidemiological parameters and to find any predisposing factors was done. Scrapings were taken for KOH smear demonstration and LPCB mount. The characteristics of hyphae were studied.
Results: Peak incidence of disease was seen in 2nd and 3rd decade with a male preponderance. Most of the patients  were asymptomatic with hypopigmented type on the trunk with positive stretch sign. Seborrheic dermatitis was the most common association. KOH mount and LPCB stain demonstrated hyphae in more than 90%.
Conclusion: PV is a disease of younger age with hypopigmented macule on trunk being the commonest presentation. KOH mount and LPCB stain are useful tool in diagnosis.
Do clinical practice guidelines for the prevention of pressure ulcers really prevent pressure ulcers? An analysis of the guidelines
Authors: Sharp Catherine
Published: June 2022

This review article aims to analyze sections of the 2012 Australian Wound Management Association, Pan Pacific, Clinical Practice Guideline for the Prevention and Management of Pressure Injury, the “Guide,” mandated for use in all Australian residential aged care facilities to explain why pressure ulcers still occur, I considered two sections of the “Guide:” a) “Assess all patients as soon as possible following admission to service and within a minimum of 8 h;” and b) “Implement a prevention plan – strategies for patients at high risk: Use a high specification foam reactive (constant low pressure) support surface OR consider using an (active alternate pressure) support surface.” Nowhere in the “Guide” is there an explanation for a) “Assessing all patients as soon as possible following admission and within a minimum of 8 h.” Similarly, there is no explanation for why b) “a high specification foam reactive (constant low pressure) support surface” is recommended to prevent pressure ulcers. The evidence for screening “within a minimum of 8 h,” does not consider the speed at which pressure ulcers develop. If the resident is lying in one position for 30 min or more and a “constant low pressure” mattress is used, residents may still develop pressure ulcers because a “constant low pressure” does not relieve pressure.

Background: The pandemic of COVID-19 brought sudden change to online teaching from traditional teaching. This online teaching uses various digital tools.
Aims and Objectives: To know the appropriateness of this online teaching, what modifications we need in future from the present-day online teaching, a cross-sectional survey was performed on the students of Government Doon Medical, Dehradun (Uttarakhand).
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from July 1 to 7, 2020 with participation of 194 medical students to critically evaluate the feedback of online teaching.
Results: During pandemic, online mode of teaching such as online discussions, pre-recorded video, and sharing and uploading material was utilized. Students clearly opine a preference for face-to-face interactions and conventional mode of content delivery.
Conclusion: The use of online mode of content delivery in medical colleges enriched by experiences during pandemic has ushered medical education in a novel era. However, further rigorous studies are needed to test the viability of a hybrid technique of teaching as an appropriate way ahead in the future.
Crush cytology smears – A novel approach to rapid diagnosis of rhino-orbital mucormycosis in post-COVID-19 patients: A single-center study
Authors: Amruta Patil  , Sagar More  , Archana Patankar  , Arpana Shinde
Published: June 2022

Background: With recent surge in SARS-COVID-19, cases of rhinocerebral mucormycosis are on rise. Rapid diagnosis of mucormycosis is essential as delay in the treatment is associated with dreadful outcome. Many studies have found that crush cytology smears can rapidly diagnose mucormycosis as compared to histopathology, thereby reducing the time for arriving at final diagnosis, here, we present a novel approach to the rapid diagnosis of mucormycosis by crush cytology and analyze whether it has a higher sensitivity in diagnosing cases of mucormycosis.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims to analyze the efficacy of crush cytology smear in rapid diagnosis of mucormycosis.
Materials and Methods: Biopsies received from all the clinically suspected cases of mucormycosis with a history or associated present COVID-19 infection. The biopsy was processed for KOH preparation, crush cytology smear and confirmation were done by histopathological examination. Special stains were done wherever necessary.
Results: Out of 50 cases of clinically suspected mucormycosis, 43 confirmed on histopathology. Out of 43 confirmed cases of mucormycosis, 33 (76.74 %) were male and 10 (23.25%) were female with male: female ratio of 3.3:1. The mean age of the studied cases was found to be 52.32±12.59 years. The most common presenting complaint was fever (79.07%), followed by headache/retro-orbital pain (62.79%), rhinorrhea (58.14%), and facial swelling (53.49%). Out of 43 patients, 41 recovered from COVID-19 disease with mean duration of 12 days. Hospital stays of patients with for COVID-19 varied from 7 days to maximum of 35 days. Out of 43 cases of mucormycosis, 24 cases were diagnosed with KOH mount with sensitivity of 55.81% and 39 cases with crush cytology smears with sensitivity of 90.69%.
Conclusion: The diagnosis of mucormycosis is done with the gold standard methods such as histopathological examination and culture studies but the present study emphasizes on use of crush cytological smears prepared from sinonasal biopsies in suspected cases of mucormycosis in rapid and accurate diagnosis of mucormycosis.

Published: June 2022

The cloudburst event occurred on 19-20 July 1993, creating a devastating flash flood over south-central Nepal. The storm killed hundreds of people, and damaged millions of dollars of properties. This study focused on the synoptic and thermodynamics that triggered the cloudburst in central Nepal, bringing 540 mm of rainfall over a small region in less than 24 hours. Moreover, it investigates the primary reason for the particular extremest event in Nepal. Our results show the strong upward motion transported the significant moisture that led to favorable condition for development of thick cloud cover, producing a record-breaking precipitation during that event over central Nepal. Likewise, the monsoon trough with negative sea level pressure anomaly over central Nepal located east of the upper-level trough further suggests a westward tilt with height in the disturbances associated with cloudburst on the event day. Further, we also simulate the extreme precipitation events over the region using Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model however, it underestimated the precipitation amount with slight shift in event location. The model simulates the actual thermodynamics, but it fails to produce the actual precipitation. Moreover, it is difficult to simulate the actual topography over the complex region where orography plays an essential role in producing high precipitation.

Published: June 2022

Various mergers and acquisitions started in in Nepalese banking sector, since 2011 when Nepal Rastra Bank issued the merger by-law. This paper, therefore, aims to explore post-merger employee satisfaction of commercial banks in Nepal. Employees of Nepalese commercial banks are considered as population of the study. Hence, the sample of 310 commercial bankers is taken for the study. Result of the study revealed that employees of commercial banks (50 percent) are moderately satisfied, and post-merger and lack of effective communication were found to be the major challenges faced by most (65.16 percent) of the employees. However, 23 percent of the employees believed that if they were provided with proper training and development opportunities, they could mitigate challenges arising from post-merger activities. Therefore, the study concludes that banks should identify needs of employees and provide such an environment where they can work flexibly in the post[1]merger period.
Deficiencia de vitamina B12 como etiología de deterioro cognitivo y demencia
Authors: Badilla Nelson Annekey
Published: June 2022

La vitamina B12 es una molécula químicamente compleja, que amerita una serie de mecanismos que aseguran su estabilidad y absorción, se encuentra en diversos alimentos de consumo diario como el hígado, pescado, mariscos, y cereales fortificados. Se ha demostrado que esta vitamina funge funciones en diversos aparatos y sistemas, principalmente a nivel hematológico, como componente eritrocitario y a nivel neurológico en la composición de mielina.   Cuando existe deficiencia de vitamina 12, debido a alteraciones en la ingesta o absorción, se produce manifestaciones clínicas y de laboratorio, como anemia megaloblástica, neuropatía, mielopatía, alteraciones neuropsiquiátricas predominantemente del comportamiento, ataxia, signos extrapiramidales, entre otras y en la mayoría de los casos estos se resuelven con el tratamiento dirigido.  Existen estudios que indican que la reposición temprana de vitamina B12, podría contribuir a la mejoría sintomática, revirtiendo las manifestaciones iniciales del deterioro cognitivo, la demencia y la mielopatía, mientras que la reposición tardía podría vincularse con cambios irreversibles. A pesar de estos estudios, no hay datos concluyentes sobre la interrelación entre la deficiencia de vitamina B12 y el deterioro cognitivo y/o demencia ya que aún no está esclarecido el mecanismo fisiopatológico que lo subyace, pero si hay evidencia de mejoría a nivel cognitivo cuando se genera reposición, habiendo descartado otras causas primarias de deterioro o demencia.

OBJECTIVE

The adoption of telemedicine became a necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic because patients found commuting to be difficult owing to travel restrictions. Initially, audio-based teleconsultations were provided. Later, on the basis of the feedback of patients and caregivers, the authors started to provide video-based teleconsultations via WhatsApp. The authors subsequently surveyed the patients and caregivers to determine their satisfaction levels with telemedicine services.

METHODS

An anonymized telephone survey of patients who had participated in teleconsultation was conducted with a structured questionnaire. The responses were analyzed and their correlations with the perceived benefits and limitations of audio and video teleconsultation were determined.

RESULTS

Three hundred respondents were included in the first round of surveys, of whom 250 (83.3%) consented to video teleconsultation. Among the respondents who participated in both audio and video teleconsultations (n = 250), paired analysis showed that video teleconsultation was perceived as better in terms of providing easier access to healthcare services (p < 0.001), saving time (p < 0.001), and satisfaction with the way patient needs were conveyed to healthcare providers (p = 0.023), as well as in terms of adequacy of addressing healthcare needs (p < 0.001) and consequently providing a higher rate of overall satisfaction (p < 0.001). For both audio and video teleconsultation, overall patient satisfaction was significantly related to only previous exposure to WhatsApp. However, for video consultation, longer call duration (p = 0.023) was an important independent factor. Video teleconsultation was preferable to face-to-face consultation irrespective of educational status, but higher education was associated with preference for video teleconsultation.

CONCLUSIONS

Both audio and video teleconsultation are viable cost-effective surrogates for in-person physical neurosurgical consultation. Although audio teleconsultation is more user-friendly and is not restricted by educational status, video teleconsultation trumps the former owing to a more efficient and satisfactory doctor-to-patient interface.
Mobile internet-based mixed-reality interactive telecollaboration system for neurosurgical procedures: technical feasibility and clinical implementation
Authors: Zhang Shiyu , Li Fangye , Zhao Yining , Xiong Ruochu , Wang Jingyue , Gan Zhichao , Xu Xinghua , Wang Qun , Zhang Huaping , Zhang Jiashu , Chen Xiaolei
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE

To increase access to health interventions and healthcare services for patients in resource-constrained settings, strategies such as telemedicine must be implemented for the allocation of medical resources across geographic boundaries. Telecollaboration is the dominant form of surgical telemedicine. In this study, the authors report and evaluate a novel mobile internet-based mixed-reality interactive telecollaboration (MIMIT) system as a new paradigm for telemedicine and validate its clinical feasibility.

METHODS

The application of this system was demonstrated for long-distance, real-time collaboration of neuroendoscopic procedures. The system consists of a local video processing workstation, a head-mounted mixed-reality display device, and a mobile remote device, connected over mobile internet (4G or 5G), allowing global point-to-point communication. Using this system, 20 cases of neuroendoscopic surgery were performed and evaluated. The system setup, composite video latency, technical feasibility, clinical implementation, and future potential business model were analyzed and evaluated.

RESULTS

The MIMIT system allows two surgeons to perform complex visual and verbal communication during the operation. The average video delay time is 184.25 msec (range 160–230 msec) with 4G mobile internet, and 23.25 msec (range 20–26 msec) with 5G mobile internet. Excellent image resolution enabled remote neurosurgeons to visualize all critical anatomical structures intraoperatively. Remote instructors could easily make marks on the surgical view; then the composite image, as well as the audio conversation, was transferred to the local surgeon. In this way, a real-time, long-distance collaboration can occur. This system was used for 20 neuroendoscopic surgeries in various cities in China and even across countries (Boston, Massachusetts, to Jingzhou, China). Its simplicity and practicality have been recognized by both parties, and there were no technically related complications recorded.

CONCLUSIONS

The MIMIT system allows for real-time, long-distance telecollaborative neuroendoscopic procedures and surgical training through a commercially available and inexpensive system. It enables remote experts to implement real-time, long-distance intraoperative interaction to guide inexperienced local surgeons, thus integrating the best medical resources and possibly promoting both diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, it can popularize and improve neurosurgical endoscopy technology in more hospitals to benefit more patients, as well as more neurosurgeons.

Published: June 2022

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic disorder that follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Ocular involvement is not uncommon, but spontaneous dialysis of the retina in the absence of a history of trauma is a rare clinical entity. Rare cases of retinal involvement such as retinal detachment or dialysis of ora serrata could be linked with the abnormal cell-matrix formation in neurofibromatosis type 1. Here, we present a case of a 36-year-old man having Neurofibromatosis Type 1 with spontaneous dialysis of ora serrata without prior history of ocular trauma. A routine fundoscopic examination should be done in addition to the examination of the anterior chamber in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 despite the absence of ocular complaints.

Authors: Chapagain Ashok , Paudel Keshab , Mani Pokhrel Sunil , Prasad Sapkota Ram
Published: June 2022

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome also known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly characterised by Mullerian duct anomalies associated with mesonephric duct anomalies. A 10-year old female presented with acute lower abdominal pain, urinary retention and scanty menstrual flow during her first menstruation. Ultrasonography and contrast computed tomography showed uterine didelphys, hematocolpos, obstructed hemivagina and left renal agenesis. Hemivaginal septal resection and drainage of the hematocolpos were done and operative findings also confirmed the final diagnosis. She was discharged and followed up after 2 weeks and her symptoms had resolved completely. Being a rare entity many clinicians and radiologists are unaware of this disease so this may lead to misdiagnosis whenever these cases present. So strong suspicion and knowledge of this disease entity are essential for a precise diagnosis.

Authors: Dönmez Çakıl Yaprak , Akbulut Zeynep , Gülhan Aktaş Ranan , Gunes Ozunal Zeynep
Published: June 2022

Cisplatin, the first platinum compound approved for cancer treatment, is widely used in the treatment of various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC incidence rates rise globally. Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis, which are associated with increased mortality. Cisplatin dose might influence cancer invasion and metastatic behavior of the cells. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of low-dose cisplatin treatment on EMT- related changes in HepG2 cells. Following treatment with 4 µM cisplatin, HepG2 cells were evaluated morphologically. Gene expression of E-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail1 was assessed by quantitative PCR. Immunofluorescence analyses of NA-K ATPase were performed. Although the low-dose cisplatin treated cells exhibited a more stretched morphology, no statistical difference was detected in gene expression of E-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail1 and immunofluorescence of NA-K ATPase. Findings on low-dose cisplatin effects in HepG2 might contribute to the knowledge of antineoplastic inefficacy by further understanding the molecular mechanisms of drug action.

Published: June 2022

Dieser Artikel versuchte, eine systematische Reflexion über kostenlose Rechtshilfe und die Unentgeltlichkeit der Justiz in Zivilverfahren zu fördern. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde folgende Leitfrage angenommen: Was behindert, erleichtert oder behindert die Gewährung der Leistungen der Freien Rechtshilfe und der Freien Justiz im weitesten Sinne und im engeren Sinne, in der systematischen Verfahrens Konzeption, im Angesicht von gerichtlichen Entscheidungen über Stundung, Verweigerung und Widerruf der Leistungsgewährung? Ziel ist es, die Konzepte, Definitionen, ihren prozeduralen Aspekt und ihre Anwendung in der Vollstreckungs Phase des Urteils zu behandeln. Daher wurde die induktive Methode als Forschungsinstrument für Lehre und Rechtswissenschaft eingesetzt, um herauszufinden, was die Gewährung von Rechtshilfe Leistungen behindert, erleichtert oder stört. Durch diese Recherchen konnte somit festgestellt werden, dass die Garantie der Rechtsfreiheit nur Prozesskosten und Anwaltskosten umfasst, die der Partei gewährt werden, solange diese die Unsicherheit der Ressourcen belegen. Daher fördert die Zivilprozessordnung die Anwendung der Verfahrensgleichheit, um Gerechtigkeit für alle zu erreichen, die unterprivilegiert und sozial ausgegrenzt sind und möglicherweise staatliche Unterstützung durch die Gerichtsbarkeit benötigen.
Narrative coherence and emotion regulation in children exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences
Authors: Bartoli Eleonora
Published: June 2022

The early exposure to Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE), puts children's socio-emotional development in jeopardy and can entail long term deleterious aftermaths on their bio-psycho-social health. Although being able to integrate emotions coherently into personal narratives facilitates the elaboration of the experience and helps well-being, the prerequi-sites for narrative emotion regulation are compromised in adverse situations where the interactions with the caregivers are dysfunctional or dangerous. The current paper will address the developmental issues in narrative emotion regulation encountered by children reared in adverse environments and it will illustrate how scaffolding children to coherently integrate emotional evaluations and further perspectives in their personal narratives might help them to cope with the potentially traumatic aftermaths of ACEs.
Completezza e coerenza narrativa in bambini sessualmente abusati: il ruolo dell'età e del PTSD
Authors: Miragoli Sarah , Badino Vittoria , Camisasca Elena
Published: June 2022

In ambito giuridico, completezza e coerenza narrativa rappresentano due importanti elementi della credibilità del minore come testimone. Il presente studio si propone di analizzare com-pletezza e coerenza narrativa in 92 deposizioni di bambini sessualmente abusati, con parti-colare riferimento all'effetto dell'età e della presenza di sintomatologia post-traumatica. Ogni deposizione è stata analizzata attraverso le griglie di codifica Narrative Categories Used to Code the Memory Reports Narrative (Bauer et al., 2014) e Coherence Coding Scheme (Reese et al., 2011). I risultati confermano il ruolo significativo dell'età e del PTSD sui contenuti e sull'organizzazione narrativa delle memorie traumatiche infantili. Nello spe-cifico, i bambini più grandi e senza PTSD sono maggiormente capaci di fornire resoconti narrativi più ricchi di dettagli contestuali salienti e una descrizione più completa dei fatti, in termini temporali e causali, con valutazioni di senso sull'esperienza traumatica vissuta.

Con la sentenza 18 gennaio 2022, il Tribunale per i minorenni di Sassari, in base a un'interpretazione consolidata in giurisprudenza dell'art. 44 lett. d) legge n. 184/1983, ha disposto l'adozione "in casi particolari" di una bambina da parte del padre intenzionale, la posposizione del cognome di costui a quello della figlia e l'estensione a quest'ultima dei legami di parentela del padre. L'introduzione della sentenza che qui si propone ripercorre l'iter argomentativo seguito dal tribunale e diviene occasione per riflettere sull'inadeguatezza della distinzione tra lo status acquisito in forza di un'adozione c.d. piena e un'adozione, mite o semipiena, in casi particolari, unico strumento, quest'ultimo, per garantire una tutela giuridica a forme di genitorialità de facto e a legami familiari non diversamente riconosciuti dall'ordinamento.
Sicurezza alimentare globale e cambiamento climatico. Guardare oltre il prodotto interno lordo
Authors: Martellozzo Federico , Randelli Filippo
Published: June 2022

Recenti ricerche suggeriscono che il numero di persone denutrite nel mondo, dopo essere costantemente diminuito dal 2005, è tornato ad aumentare dal 2014, e nel 2020 si sia attestato intorno a quota 811 milioni. Sebbene l'insicurezza alimentare ( food insecurity - FI) sia una questione di drammatica rilevanza, ed un problema panterrestre, è tuttavia innegabile come alcuni paesi siano più vulnerabili, e conseguentemente più suscettibili rispetto a shock esogeni (e.g. cambiamento climatico, pandemie, ecc.). Questo studio intende offrire osservazioni analitiche come strumento di supporto per l'elaborazione di politiche, finalizzate alla comprensione degli elementi di vulnerabilità del sistema alimentare in un dato paese. Nonostante in letteratura vi siano diversi indici per lo studio della FI, è sovente adottato (a volte per necessità di sintesi) un rationale interpretativo - riduttivo- che riproduce la FI mediante una narrativa di vulnerabilità economica. L'analisi, tramite la rielaborazione propria di indicatori esistenti e la formulazione di simulazioni predittive, vuole problematizzare in che modo i fattori critici individuati (e.g. la struttura produttiva di un paese, i suoi rapporti commerciali, il suolo irrigato, ecc.) possono incidere significativamente sulla FI di un paese, disgiuntamente da una congiuntura economica interna favorevole.
La Climate Fiction secondo l'Ecocritical Geopolitics: un'agenda per la ricerca
Authors: dell’Agnese Elena
Published: June 2022

L'idea che un cataclisma climatico possa alterare in maniera profonda gli equilibri del pianeta è presente nella fantascienza sin dalla fine dell'Ottocento. Le narrazioni incentrate sulle conseguenze potenzialmente catastrofiche di un cambiamento climatico, tuttavia,nei primi due decenni del Duemila si sono letteralmente moltiplicate, tanto che si parla di Climate Fiction. Al di là del monito ambientalista inserito in queste narrazioni, un ulteriore livello di analisi può essere individuato nell'esame del discorso da esse veicolato, in relazione ai rapporti di potere tra esseri umani e tra esseri umani e ambiente. In questo articolo, dopo una breve introduzione all'approccio teorico individuato come utile a tal fine (l'Ecocritical Geopolitics), verrà articolata un'agenda di ricerca, con l'identificazione dei campi di indagine da aprire per esplorare la Climate Fiction, in riferimento ai suoi riferimenti spaziali, ai suoi principali protagonisti e al suo discorso sull'ambiente.
Apprendere la psicoterapia: la bottega d'arte
Authors: Gislon Maria Clotilde
Published: June 2022

Il termine bottega d'arte è mutuato dalla tradizione artistica rinascimentale. In questo luogo la trasmissione del sapere avviene da parte del maestro agli apprendisti, secondo modalità che hanno rispetto della creatività individuale. Questo è il dispositivo funzionale che Giovanni Carlo Zapparoli e i suoi Collaboratori, a partire dalla esperienza del Centro di Psicologia della Provincia di Milano, hanno messo a punto per favorire la trasmissione del sapere in campo psicoterapeutico. L'Autore ne evidenzia i punti di forza nella saggezza clinica e nella capacità di differenziare gli aspetti essenziali e superflui all'interno del processo terapeutico.

Influence of Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer Formulations on Rice Yield in the Guinea Savanna Zone of Ghana
Authors: Fuseini Abdulai , Benjamin Badii Kongyeli
Published: June 2022

Low soil fertility has been a major constraint to the increased and sustainable rice production in the Guinea savanna zone of Ghana. Studies were conducted in four locations to evaluate the yield of rice under different fertilization regimes. The fields were laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications for each fertilizer treatment. Data were collected on grain yield and seed mass, and subjected to analysis of variance, with treatment means separated at a 5% level of significance. Significant improvement in rice grain yield was realized in all study locations due to the fertilizer treatments. Grain yield improvement of up to 4,280 kg/ha was obtained. The best two performing fertilization regimes in improving rice grain yield were UNIK-CLB+AMI and ACT-CLB+AMI. In general, rice grain yield among treatments containing CropLiftBio (CLB) foliar treatments was statistically similar. Application of ACT+URE or UNIK+ACT with no the CropLiftBio foliar supplementation consistently demonstrated lower grain yields in rice compared to the other fertilizer treatments. Rice grain mass was, however, not significantly impacted by the fertilization regimes in all study locations. From the results of this study, Activa fertilizers used as basal treatment was unsuitable for rice production in the ecology as these generally provided lower grain yields. For maximum grain yield in rice, UNIK (NPK 15:15:15) fertilizer was the most recommended. The basal application of UNIK at 125 kg/ha and topdressing with Amidas at 125 kg/ha with CropLiftBio foliar supplementation will provide better yields for farmers than applying any of the formulations with Activa as a topdress.
Transformación y crisis: el Estado mexicano a partir de la crisis de la Deuda Externa de 1982
Authors: Olea Contreras Victor Manuel
Published: June 2022

El presente artículo tiene como principal objetivo analizar la transformación que vivió el Estado mexicano durante la década de 1980 y derivada de la crisis de 1982. Partiendo del hecho de que para entender la situación actual de transformación y cambio es necesario crear una narrativa histórica que nos permite vincular dicho fenómeno con el comienzo de lo que se ha denominado repliegue, retirada o transformación del Estado de bienestar, el texto pretende mostrar cómo se suscitaron los eventos que promovieron, en primera instancia, dicho cambio para poder, con estos insumos, poder pensar el periodo actual. Así pues, para realizar lo anterior, se echa mano de la visión transformacionalista del Estado, ejemplificada en los trabajos de Bob Jessop y Phillip G. Cerny, complementándose con la construcción narrativa de las crisis de Colin Hay, para demostrar como la crisis de la deuda permitió la creación de una narrativa dominante que legitimó las acciones tomadas para modificar la trayectoria del Estado mexicano.
Palm Oil Crystallization in the Presence of Sugar and Emulsifiers
Authors: Devgan Hardeep
Published: June 2022

This thesis explored the relationship between fat crystal network formation and rheology/texture in palm oil-based filling fats containing confectioner’s sugar and emulsifier. Filling fats are multi-component fat-continuous mixtures that are more complex than bulk fats due to the presence of dispersed particles that can alter fat crystallization and texture. The impact of palm oil type, emulsifier (lecithin or PGPR) and aeration on the crystallization, microstructural and mechanical properties of palm fat mixed at a 1:1 wt. ratio with confectioner’s sugar were evaluated over a period of four weeks. An increase in sample rigidity resulted from the addition of sugar to both palm oils. Conversely, there was a reduction in rigidity upon aeration. Addition of sugar did not impact palm oil melting enthalpy or solid fat content, demonstrating that addition of sugar did not greatly affect palm oil crystallization once present as a dispersion. The addition of emulsifier significantly reduced the viscosity of palm oil-sugar blends in the molten state. Bulk palm oil was seen to exist as crystalline spheroids 10-20 µm in diameter using microscopy. With lecithin present, there was an increase in the number concentration of spheroidal crystals but also a reduction in their size. PGPR reduced the extent of crystallization, however an increase in crystal size was observed. Addition of sugar greatly suppressed crystallization based on the difficulty in distinguishing fat crystals in the continuous phase of the palm oil-sugar blends. Overall, this study showed that the addition of sugar and emulsifier had a great impact the rheological attributes of palm oil. These findings help to strengthen the foundation iv necessary to optimize the crystallization of palm oil dispersions for industrial applications.

Esettanulmány az utódlás székelyföldi sajátosságairól: fiatal gazdák szerepe a családi farmgazdaságokban
Authors: Sebestyén Ágnes
Published: June 2022

A generációváltás a mezőgazdasági ágazatban európai szinten is napirenden lévő problémakör. A meglévő támogatási programok ellenére a fiatal gazdák az agrárvállalkozások létrehozását és működtetését korlátozó akadályokkal szembesülnek, ezek egy része az agrárvállalkozás kontextusát képező társadalmi környezethez kapcsolódik. Jelen esettanulmány célja székelyföldi kontextusban, a több generációs családi vállalkozásban jelen levő generációk közötti viszony bemutatása a még vezetői autoritással nem rendelkező fiatal gazdák szemszögéből. Az esettanulmány foglalkozik a viszony külső, kontextuális összetevőivel (családi tapasztalatok, közvetlen környezet, rendszerbe való integráció, tudásszerzési gyakorlat, családi környezet, reflexió), illetve bemutatja részelemeire bontva a fiatal és idős generáció közötti viszony komponenseit. Az esettanulmány rámutat, hogy Székelyföldön a fiatal gazdák minimális autoritással rendelkeznek azokban a családi agrárvállalkozásokban, melyeknek fiatal koruk óta szerves részét képezik. A többgenerációs családi farmgazdaságokban a döntések meghozatala nem kompetencia alapú, hanem a rangidős családtag személyéhez kötődik.
