Background: Since more than a century ago, spinal anaesthesia has been a preferred approach for lower abdominal procedures. Local anaesthetics are selected primarily based on onset, duration, strength of sensory and motor block, and side effects. The aim of our study was to compare sensory and motor block characteristics, hemodynamic changes, and side effects following isobaric levobupivacaine (0.5%) and hyperbaric Bupivacaine (0.5%) in elective lower abdominal surgeries under spinal anesthesia. Materials and methods: A randomized, double‑blind study was carried out on 60 patients of either sex, aged 18-60 years, ASA grade I or II scheduled for elective lower abdominal surgeries. Patients were divided into two groups of 30 patients each. Group L received 3 ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine, and Group B received 3 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine. We observed the characteristics of the sensory and motor blockade & side effects in both groups. Results: The mean time of onset of sensory block was 12.68±0.6 minutes in group L, while 7.22±0.7 minutes in group B. The mean time for total duration of sensory block was 211.1±8.2 minutes in group L, while 183.13±13.7 minutes in group B.

Ganoderma lucidum is a basidiomycete whose production is of great interest due to its medicinal properties, and analyzing the potential of Amazonian lignocellulosic residues in the cultivation of G. lucidum is a way to enable the use of this material in mushroom cultivation and the production of biomolecules, including enzymes of commercial interest. The objective of this study was to evaluate the activity of cellulases and xylanases produced by G. lucidum when cultivated in açaí seed (Euterpe sp.) residues and marupá (Simarouba amara) sawdust under supplemented and non-supplemented conditions. Solid-state cultivation was carried out in 250 mL flasks containing 50 g of lignocellulosic residues, plus 2% of CaCO3, under supplemented (18% of rice, wheat and corn bran) and non-supplemented conditions. The flasks were incubated in a BOD incubator at 25 ºC. Enzyme extraction was performed from the fungus growth substrate over 30 days of cultivation, with collections every two days. The enzymatic extracts had their endoglucanase (CMCase), total cellulase (FPase) and xylanase activities determined. The highest enzymatic activity of CMCase and xylanase were 5.97 U/g and 1.90 U/g, respectively, on the 26th day of cultivation in the supplemented marupá sawdust substrate. While the maximum FPase content was 0.24 U/g, which was observed in the 8th day for the supplemented açaí substrate. Thus, the tested residues proved to be promising for the mycelial development of G. lucidum, with the supplementation with corn, rice and wheat bran being favorable to the production of enzymes with biotechnological interest.
Consumer protection under the Brussels I bis and Rome I Regulations
Authors: Moravcová Dominika
Published: July 2022

The trend towards globalization and the completion of the European Union's internal market has also led to an increase in the incidence of relations with a foreign element in international trade. The topic of my paper is precisely consumer protection within the European Union under the limits of judicial cooperation, which is touched upon in the key Regulations – the Brussels I bis and Rome I Regulations. As the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increase in online purchases, often from foreign shops, we consider this topic to be current. This paper will focus on consumer protection under selected Regulations. Based on the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union, we will deal with some of the more general provisions so as to be able to identify the scope of consumer protection under these Regulations in practice.
Digitalization and consumer protection enforcement
Authors: Balogh Virág
Published: July 2022

The era of “new consumer protection” is marked by maximum harmonization rather minimum harmonization, (more) policy-based approach, legislation driven by the fast-emerging ecosystem of digital platforms, the strengthening of collective remedy and agency enforcement, and more cooperation between Member State regulatory bodies and EU Commission. All of the above phenomenae emphasize changing directions and methods of consumer protection enforcement: digital platforms present a unique set of issues that trigger different policy solutions, mostly based on the findings of behavioral economics. The practices of digital platforms usually affect consumers in more than one Member State, thus EU-wide cooperation is more likely to happen vis-à-vis digital platforms than other traders. Individual remedies against digital platforms – due to their immense size – result in little change. The European Consumer Protection Cooperation Network is highly likely to open cases with regards to digital platforms. In Hungarian law, EU-wide coordination complements an already existing rich practice of the Hungarian Competition Authority in the field of unfair commercial practices. In the future, where quite possibly, the number of cases against digital platforms will grow, the issue of cooperation will grow even more important.
Academic associations in the field of administrative sciences in Central and Eastern Europe, or what could be the medium-term objectives of the newly established Central and Eastern European Society for Administrative Sciences?
Authors: Rixer Ádám
Published: July 2022

When we search for the significant players of administrative sciences on both the domestic and international level, we find – amongst others, amongst departments of universities, think-tanks and committees of academies of sciences – also organisations that can be treated as parts of civil society, especially scientific societies, particularly scientific associations. My current paper deals exclusively with the latter ones (with scientific associations) and my main goal is to enlist those functions that can be or even should be provided by our newly created Central and Eastern European Society for Administrative Sciences. To provide the catalogue, the elements of which are based on scientific evidence, my paper covers a) the main roles of contemporary scientific associations; b) the general features of Hungarian civil society; c) the names and main features of the contemporary scientific associations in administrative sciences in Hungary; and d) also the results of an international survey conducted among 142 representatives of administrative sciences of 18 countries in our region, especially of those countries which were formerly socialist states. And finally, with the help of these facts collected I aim to show, and offer some fairly new possible functions to invent in the interest of our ’beloved’ Society.

W zakładach przetwórstwa rolnego istnieje możliwość wystąpienia atmosfery wybuchowej. Pył powstający w takich procesach, jak mielenie, przesiewanie czy transport zboża, stanowi potencjalne źródło zapłonu i wybuchu w instalacji przemysłowej. Statystyki pokazują, że roczna światowa produkcja zbóż w 2019 r. przekroczyła 2,7 mld ton. Taka ilość pylistego materiału znacznie zwiększa ryzyko wystąpienia pożaru lub wybuchu podczas produkcji, transportu i przetwarzania. Z powodu zagrożenia wybuchem zakłady zajmujące się składowaniem i przetwarzaniem zbóż muszą być wyposażone w odpowiednie zabezpieczenia. W artykule przedstawiono parametry wybuchowe pyłów zbóż najczęściej stosowanych w Polsce oraz rodzaje typowych zabezpieczeń w instalacjach przemysłowych.

Published: July 2022

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most widespread diseases affecting the world’s population causing substantial morbidity, mortality and long-term complications. This study was designed to investigate possible hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and antioxidant effect of ethanolic stem bark extract of Anacardium occidentale in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Twenty-eight STZ (60 mg/kg body weight)-induced diabetic, male albino rats were randomly distributed into Groups II-V (7 rats each) and orally administered with water, metformin (14.2 mg/kg), 200 mg/kg Anacardium occidentale extract and 400 mg/kg Anacardium occidentale extract respectively daily for 15 days. Group I rats were untreated with STZ and serves as control all under the same sham handling. Blood samples were taken for measurement of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and lipid profile. Liver and kidney tissue samples were taken for determination of glycemic indices (glucose and glycogen), as well as redox status markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione (GSH), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-s-transferase (GST). Results showed that treatment with 200 and 400 mg/kg Anacardium occidentale stem bark extract reversed hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia induced by STZ similar to what was observed with the standard drug, metformin. Similarly, both extract concentration produced a significant reduction in MDA while the activity of SOD and GST, as well as concentration of GSH were elevated. This study suggested that ethanolic stem bark extract of Anacardium occidentale at 200 and 400 mg/kg can ameliorate diabetes and its associated complications via its hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties

This study was designed to investigate the modulatory role of Luteolin (Lut), a flavonoid phytochemical, on haemodynamic parameters and the potential mechanisms involving renal Angiotensin II (AT2R) and Mineralocorticoid (MCR) receptors in renal toxicity induced by co-exposure to Diclofenac (Dcf) and sodium fluoride (NaF) in rats.Male Wistar rats were administered with either vehicle (control), Dcf only (9 mg/kg orally) or concurrently with NaF (300 ppm in drinking water). Other groups were treated with LutA (100 mg/kg) or LutB (200 mg/kg) along with Dcf and NaF exposures. All treatments lasted 8 days, following which blood pressure indices were measured using tail-cuff plethysmography. Renal expressions of AT2R and MCR were studied with immunohistochemistry, while biomarkers of oxidative and antioxidant status were also measured in the kidneys. Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures were significantly (p<0.05) reduced in Dcf-treated rats, compared to control values. However, co-treatment with NaF or Lut restored these parameters. While the expression of AT2R and MCR was high in the Dcf and Dcf+NaF groups, treatment with Lut caused obvious reduction in the renal expression of these receptors. Increased lipid peroxidation (Malondialdehyde) and protein oxidation (protein carbonyls) with a lowering of reduced glutathione levels contributed to the renal toxicity of Dcf, and these were significantly ameliorated in Lut-treated rats. In conclusion, the preservation of haemodynamic indices by Lutin the experimental ratsprobably included mechanisms involving down-regulation of renal expressions of AT2R and MCR, reduction of oxidative stress and an improvement of renal antioxidant status.

Authors: Hetherington Chelsea , Eschbach Cheryl , Cuthbertson Courtney
Published: July 2022

Evaluation capacity building (ECB) is an essential element for generating credible and actionable evidence on Extension programs. This paper offers a discussion of ECB efforts in Cooperative Extension and how such efforts enable Extension professionals to collect and use credible and actionable evidence on the quality and impacts of programs. Sufficient investments in ECB, both at the individual and organizational levels, can better equip Extension to advocate for and make changes to programs, advance as a learning organization, and have a more powerful impact on communities. Furthermore, as Extension program stakeholders often have varying perspectives on the credibility of evidence, these perspectives must also be accounted for in efforts to build Extension’s evaluation capacity. Intentional investments in ECB efforts provide an opportunity for Extension to further deepen and expand impact, positioning programs to most effectively and positively benefit individuals and communities.

Recovery is a process that a drug addict must go through if he wants to be completely cured of his addiction. Recovery does not mean just stopping using (drugs), recovery must be understood as the creation of a new lifestyle, thus it will be easier for someone to decide not to use (drugs) again. In recovery there are three things that must be considered, namely avoiding high-risk situations, learning how to relax, and telling the truth. Recovery demands total honesty, that is, if you want to recover, you have to be one hundred percent honest with the people who support you, such as family, doctors, therapists, etc. If you can't be honest with them then the recovery won't go well. Being totally honest means not giving his addictive nature a place to hide. If you lie, it means you have opened the door for relapse. An opportunity to change life can be seen as an opportunity to change life. Changing lives is what makes recovery difficult but also profitable. Recovery is difficult because a person has to change his or her life, and all changes are difficult, even if it turns out to be good. Recovery is beneficial because a person gets the opportunity to change his life. If we take the opportunity to change, then we will look back and reflect on our addiction as the one good thing that ever happened in life. In recovery, people often describe themselves as grateful addicts. Why should someone be grateful to have experienced an addiction because starting from that addiction they are then helped to find the peace and serenity that many people seek. Recovery (recovery) can encourage a person to change his life.

Authors: Sarah Shahiba
Published: July 2022

Learning is a process or effort made by each individual to get changes in behavior, both in the form of knowledge, skills, attitudes and positive values. However, not every individual has interest and seriousness in the learning process. This is due to several factors including the learning process that is too monotonous so it is not interesting and there are also external or environmental influences. A comfortable and good environment will support learning activities, but on the contrary if the environment is not good it will affect children's interest in learning. A lack of interest in learning was also experienced by one of the children in the NGO Community Care for Children (KOPA) where he needed help to increase his interest in learning and his confidence. The provision of assistance to children was carried out in Mini Project activities during the implementation of PKL 1, using the casework method through the general intervention stage consisting of Engagement, Intake, Contract; assessment; planning; intervention; evaluation; and termination. The focus in solving client problems is the application of fun learning methods to increase interest in learning and confidence in children. The purpose of this program was stated to be achieved, it can be seen from the increased enthusiasm for learning and also increased confidence in clients.

Detection of role the enzyme adenosine deaminase in leishmaniasis as biomarkers during of infection
Authors: Hussein Ashjan
Published: July 2022

Abstract:

 Leishmaniasis is a global illness that is endemic in many countries, including Iraq. The infection is caused by the injection of the parasite Leishmania through a female fly bite’s belonging to the genus Phlebotomus when feed on the mammal host. The hallmark of cutaneous Leishmania is skin ulcers that are likely to be effectively enhanced by the immune system to control the growth and the development of the parasite, while other species of Leishmania are more severe and the parasite infect the visceral organs of the host rather than local skin infection According to statistics and available database of Iraqi Center of Disease Control, the number of recorded cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Iraq were 16134 cases in 2020, while for visceral leishmaniasis (VL), it was 95 cases. The current study was conducted on 88 individaul of both sexes, they were from Diyala province and the capital Baghdad, during the period from October 2020 to February 2021. All suspected cutaneous or visceral patients involved in this study were prediagnosed in the laboratory before processing Adenosine Deaminase Enzyme (ADA) by ELISA colorimetric detection. 

Total number of confirmed leishmaniasis patients were (n=57) cutaneous patients and(n=16) visceral patients, collected from different hospitals in Diyala province and Baghdad. Positive CL or VL samples were confirmed by microscopic Giemsa staining, rapid immune chromatographic strip assay and indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT), in addition to the clinical signs and symptoms, which were evaluated by a consultant physician.

the ADA enzyme level was also increased in the studied groups where significant difference was recorded in the 2nd trail Pentostam treatment, which was 4.275 nanomol/minute/µg in comparison to control subjects, which was 3.138 nanomol/minute/µg. Although no significant correlation was seen in the ADA enzyme concentration in the newly infected and 3rd trial treatment groups, which were 3.899 nanomol/minute/µg and 3.474 nanomol/minute/µg, respectively. 

Furthermore, the highest serum ADA enzyme concentration was observed in the newly visceral leishmaniasis groups, which was 5.238 nanomol/minute/µg. However, there was difference seen among the test groups for both studied parameters. 

The results of this study highlighted a new concept of investigating immunological molecules, such as ADA enzyme, as possible biomarkers for cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis prognosis and development.

Credibility, Inflation Targets and Interest Rate: Long-Term Results for Brazil
Authors: de Lima Augusto César Klassen Amorim Alves , Moreira Ricardo Ramalhete
Published: July 2022

This study carried out an empirical investigation into the relationship between the credibility of monetary policy – measured based on seven indicators – and the necessary variation of interest rates to control inflation, replicating the methods proposed by Mendonça and Souza (2007), extending them for the period 1999-2020. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that higher levels of credibility allow the Central Bank to control inflation with lower interest rate increases. Furthermore, evidence was found that, although the credibility indicators show a better adjustment relative to the data – indicating a forward-looking nature in the conduction of basic interest rates –, among the reputation indicators, short-run inflationary results have a stronger weight in the decisions of monetary policy, suggesting that public expectations with short-memory remain relevant in the sample period.
