ANÁLISE DE PRESENÇA E ATIVIDADE DO GENE TERT DA TELOMERASE EM CROMOSSOMOS B DE PSALIDODON PARANAE (TELEOSTEI, CHARACIDAE)
Authors: Nadai Pamela Cristina Ferreira de , VIDAL MATEUS ROSSETTO , LASMAR LUCAS FORTINO , OLIVEIRA CLAUDIO , FORESTI FAUSTO
Published: August 2022

Introdução: Diversos organismos eucariotos possuem elementos genômicos extras, conhecidos como cromossomo B. Esses elementos são em geral heterocromáticos e compostos principalmente por sequências repetitivas de DNA, além de também possuírem genes ativamente transcritos. Os telômeros são estruturas cuja a função é manter a integridade estrutural dos cromossomos, e são constituídos por sequências não codificantes e repetitivas de DNA (TTAGGG). Neste sentido, a enzima telomerase, codificada pelo gene tert (telomerase RNA reverse transcriptase), desempenha um papel importante, atuando diretamente no elongamento dos telômeros. Considerando que os cromossomos B são elementos extras no genoma, pode-se supor que, por um mecanismo de compensação, uma maior atividade do gene tert seja induzida pela presença destes cromossomos. Objetivo: Deste modo, nosso objetivo foi analisar a presença do gene tert em cromossomo B de indivíduos Psalidodon paranae, tal como analisar se há expressão diferencial desse gene associado a presença do cromossomo B entre indivíduos 0B e B+. Metodologia: Para isso, foram coletados espécimes de P. paranae do ribeirão Cascatinha em Botucatu-SP (22°53’30”S 48°28’36”W), sendo 3 indivíduos B+ e 3 indivíduos 0B. Para análise da presença e da expressão do gene tert nesses indivíduos, foram utilizadas leituras curtas de alto rendimento de bibliotecas de DNA e RNA, obtidas através do sequenciamento Illumina. Em seguida, foi realizado o mapeamento das leituras usando o software SSAHA2 tendo a sequência codificadora do gene tert como referência. Foram usados scripts customizados para contabilizar o número de leituras mapeados e gerar os gráficos de cobertura. As análises bioinformáticas em bibliotecas de DNA e RNA não apresentaram diferença de cobertura entre as bibliotecas B+ e 0B, indicando ausência do gene tert no cromossomo B e ausência de expressão diferencial. Resultados: Nossos resultados indicam que os cromossomos B não exercem nenhuma influência na maquinaria de regulação telomérica. Pode-se especular, portanto, que estes elementos poderiam levar, em longo prazo, a efeitos deletérios. No entanto, para melhor elucidação desta hipótese estudos futuros comparando expressão gênica entre adultos e juvenis são necessários. Conclusão:  Ainda, considerando que P. paranae possui no máximo dois cromossomos B, em um cenário similar estes efeitos poderiam ser intensificados em organismos com maiores números de cromossomos B.

Published: August 2022

Introdução: As anomalias congênitas (AC) são uma das principais causas de mortalidade infantil e contribuem para problemas de saúde ao longo da vida. Fatores genéticos e ambientais contribuem para o desenvolvimento de AC. Dentre os fatores ambientais, a exposição a agrotóxicos pode causar inúmeros efeitos adversos para o meio ambiente, seres vivos e especialmente para a saúde dos seres humanos. Tanto antes quanto durante a gravidez, a exposição a agrotóxicos está associada à AC. Um dos agrotóxicos mais utilizados é o Glifosato, um herbicida cujas vendas e o uso aumentaram desde a introdução de novas variedades de culturas geneticamente modificadas. A associação entre a exposição ao Glifosato e a ocorrência de AC em humanos é pouco conhecida, mas vem sendo investigada, principalmente em animais e revelando não só desfechos metabólicos e reprodutivos negativos para adultos quanto também AC. Uma revisão desses achados em animais pode auxiliar nas pesquisas com seres humanos. Objetivo: realizar uma revisão sobre a associação entre a exposição ao Glifosato/Roundup e a ocorrência de anomalias congênitas. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Foram selecionados artigos realizados em animais e escritos em Inglês, que foram publicados nos últimos 10 anos, como textos completos e livres. Os termos de busca utilizados foram: “congenital anomalies” OR “birth defects” OR “malformations” AND “pesticides” and Glyphosate. Resultados: Foram identificados 18 artigos, dos quais dois foram excluídos pela leitura do título e dois após a leitura do resumo. Ao final, 14 foram selecionados para análise nesta revisão. A maioria (13) dos artigos eram relacionados a animais, sendo apenas quatro com abordagem em humanos. Foram observados: um artigo sobre Truta, seis artigos em anuros, dois artigos com carpas, três com Danio rerio (Zebrafish), dois com ratos e apenas em coelhos. Um artigo  abordou mais de uma espécie citada acima. Dentre as AC encontradas, as principais foram anormalidades cardíacas (4), craniofaciais (3), bucais (2) e associados à coluna vertebral/notocorda (2), bem como intestinais. Conclusão: Estudos em animais, embora menos escassos que em humanos mostram que a o Glifosato é associado à ocorrência de AC, indicando a importância de conhecer essa associação em humanos.

O Sistema Integral del Analises de las Tareas de Entrenamiento (SIATE) é uma ferramenta validada para a avaliação de treinos esportivos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar e analisar a frequência na qual cada variável do método SIATE é apresentada nos artigos que utilizaram a ferramenta como forma de obtenção de dados. Caracteriza-se por uma pesquisa teórica de revisão narrativa qualitativa. Foram encontrados 29 artigos em busca realizada em cinco bases de dados. Após exclusão de duplicados e de estudos não empíricos, mantiveram-se 12 artigos. Como resultado, a variável de maior frequência nos artigos foi a pedagógica, presente em oito estudos. A ainda baixa incidência de resultados pode estar ligada ao fato de ser uma ferramenta recente na literatura. Nos estudos encontrados dois grupos foram estudados: professores em formação e treinadores de base. Há possibilidade de uma maior utilização do instrumento, que se mostra eficaz.
UMA ANÁLISE FILOSÓFICA SOBRE O ESFORÇO NO ESPORTE A PARTIR DA ÉTICA DE ESPINOSA
Authors: Antonio Allan Victor Zampola , Boccati Paulo Augusto , Roble Odilon José
Published: August 2022

O esforço na busca pelo êxito é fator primordial no âmbito esportivo e é influenciado por diversos fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos ao esporte e, em ambos os casos, há forte presença de questões afetivas. Benedictus Espinosa (1632-1677), em sua obra Ética, desenvolve questões sobre a afetividade. Para ele, os afetos estão diretamente associados às ações motoras e à relação entre ser humano e ambiente. Argumentamos que o esporte, por constituir um fenômeno imprevisível, contribui com a constante alteração dos afetos, gerando implicações no que se concebe por esforço. A articulação com elementos da filosofia do esporte permite ainda dialogar com aspectos da área compreendendo o esforço como integrante da chamada atitude lusória, importante para alcançar os bens intrínsecos ao esporte. Espera-se, com isso, contribuir para ampliar a discussão sobre filosofia do esporte na Educação Física brasileira e ampliar a compreensão sobre a questão do esforço no esporte.

The influence of knowledge, innovation compatibility and social influence on adoption of Halal cosmetics: An empirical evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Sohail Nadia , Haque Ahasanul , Suki Amirah Binti Ahmad
Published: August 2022

The interest in halal cosmetics has acquired significant force in the new-fashioned era. The decisive moments focused on increasing demand are expanding the Muslim populace and consumers’ interest in uncontaminated, hygienic, and pure applications to human body cosmetics. In spite of that, the halal cosmetics industry is incapable of satisfying consumers' needs due to several factors. This can be a reason that halal cosmetics are not fully diffused among Pakistani consumers. This study intends to examine the adoption of halal cosmetics in Pakistan and the factors that influence its adoption. The data was collected from 375 cosmetic Muslim consumers through a self-administrated questionnaire. The prepared survey questionnaire was based on Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI). Partial least squares analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The findings demonstrate that knowledge, social influence, and innovation compatibility have a significant positive influence on the adoption of halal cosmetics. Furthermore, this study offers various practical and theoretical implications for manufactur-ers, producers, and consumers. The current study is on-mark to provide a potential contribution to the body of knowledge and the successful application of DOI to create a reason to analyze the adoption of halal cosmetics in Pakistan.

Abstract. The size and frequency of wildfires in the western United
States have been increasing, and this trend is projected to continue, with increasing adverse consequences for human health. Gas- and particle-phase
organic compounds are the main components of wildfire emissions. Some of the directly emitted compounds are hazardous air pollutants, while others can
react with oxidants to form secondary air pollutants such as ozone and
secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Further, compounds emitted in the particle
phase can volatize during smoke transport and can then serve as precursors for SOA. The extent of pollutant formation from wildfire emissions is
dependent in part on the speciation of organic compounds. The most detailed
speciation of organic compounds has been achieved in laboratory studies,
though recent field campaigns are leading to an increase in such
measurements in the field. In this study, we identified and quantified
hundreds of gas- and particle-phase organic compounds emitted from
conifer-dominated wildfires in the western US, using two two-dimensional gas
chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC ToF-MS) instruments. Observed emission factors (EFs) and emission ratios
are reported for four wildfires. As has been demonstrated previously,
modified combustion efficiency (MCE) was a good predictor of particle-phase EFs (e.g., R2=0.78 and 0.84 for sugars and terpenoids,
respectively), except for elemental carbon. Higher emissions of
diterpenoids, resin acids, and monoterpenes were observed in the field relative to laboratory studies, likely due to distillation from unburned
heated vegetation, which may be underrepresented in laboratory studies.
These diterpenoids and resin acids accounted for up to 45 % of total
quantified organic aerosol, higher than the contribution from sugar and
sugar derivatives. The low volatility of resin acids makes them ideal
markers for conifer fire smoke. The speciated measurements also show that
evaporation of semi-volatile organic compounds took place in smoke plumes,
which suggests that the evaporated primary organic aerosol can be a precursor of SOAs in wildfire smoke plumes.
Important role of stratospheric injection height for the distribution and radiative forcing of smoke aerosol from the 2019–2020 Australian wildfires

Published: August 2022

Abstract. More than 1 Tg smoke aerosol was emitted into the atmosphere by
the exceptional 2019–2020 southeastern Australian wildfires. Triggered by the
extreme fire heat, several deep pyroconvective events carried the smoke
directly into the stratosphere. Once there, smoke aerosol remained airborne
considerably longer than in lower atmospheric layers. The thick plumes
traveled eastward, thereby being distributed across the high and mid-latitudes in the
Southern Hemisphere, enhancing the atmospheric opacity. Due to the increased
atmospheric lifetime of the smoke plume, its radiative effect increased
compared to smoke that remains in lower altitudes. Global models describing
aerosol-climate impacts lack adequate descriptions of the emission height of
aerosols from intense wildfires. Here, we demonstrate, by a combination of
aerosol-climate modeling and lidar observations, the importance of the
representation of those high-altitude fire smoke layers for estimating the
atmospheric energy budget. Through observation-based input into the
simulations, the Australian wildfire emissions by pyroconvection are
explicitly prescribed to the lower stratosphere in different scenarios.
Based on our simulations, the 2019–2020 Australian fires caused a
significant top-of-atmosphere (TOA) hemispheric instantaneous direct radiative
forcing signal that reached a magnitude comparable to the radiative forcing
induced by anthropogenic absorbing aerosol. Up to +0.50 W m−2
instantaneous direct radiative forcing was modeled at TOA,
averaged for the Southern Hemisphere (+0.25 W m−2 globally) from January to March 2020 under all-sky conditions. At the surface, on the other
hand, an instantaneous solar radiative forcing of up to −0.81 W m−2
was found for clear-sky conditions, with the respective estimates depending
on the model configuration and subject to the model uncertainties in the
smoke optical properties. Since extreme wildfires are expected to occur more
frequently in the rapidly changing climate, our findings suggest that
high-altitude wildfire plumes must be adequately considered in climate
projections in order to obtain reasonable estimates of atmospheric energy
budget changes.

Abstract. To control the spread of COVID-19, exceptional restrictive measures were taken in March 2020 that imposed a radical change on the lifestyle of millions of citizens around the world, albeit for a short period. The national lockdown, which lasted from 10 March to 18 May 2020 in Italy, was a unique opportunity to observe the variation in air quality in urban environments under conditions comprising almost total traffic restriction and a strong reduction in work activities. In this paper, the data from 17 urban monitoring sites in Tuscany are presented, and the PM and NO2 concentrations in the 2 months before the start of the lockdown and the 2 months after lockdown are compared with the corresponding months of the previous 3 years. The results show that the total loads of PM2.5 and PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 and 10 µm, respectively) decreased, but they did not exhibit significant changes compared to previous years, whereas NO2 underwent a drastic reduction. For three of these sites, the chemical composition of the collected samples was measured using thermal–optical techniques, ion chromatography, and particle-induced X-ray emission analysis, and the application of multivariate positive matrix factorization analysis also allowed for PM10 source identification and apportionment. Using these analyses, it was possible to explain the low sensitivity of PM10 to the lockdown effects as being due to different, sometimes inverse, behaviors of the different sources that contribute to PM. The results clearly indicate a decline in pollution levels related to urban traffic and an increase in the concentration of sulfate for all sites during the lockdown period.
Calcification response of reef corals to seasonal upwelling in the northern Arabian Sea (Masirah Island, Oman)
Authors: Spreter Philipp M. , Reuter Markus , Mertz-Kraus Regina , Taylor Oliver , Brachert Thomas C.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Tropical shallow-water reefs are the most diverse ecosystems in the ocean. Their persistence rests upon adequate calcification rates of the reef
building biota, such as reef corals. Coral calcification is favoured in oligotrophic environments with high seawater saturation states of aragonite
(Ωsw), which leads to an increased vulnerability to anthropogenic ocean acidification and eutrophication. Here we present
Porites calcification records from the northern Arabian Sea upwelling zone and investigate the coral calcification response to low
Ωsw and high nutrient concentrations due to seasonal upwelling. The calcification rate was determined from the product of skeletal
extension rate and bulk density. Skeletal Ba/Ca and Li/Mg proxy data were used to identify skeletal portions that calcified during upwelling and
non-upwelling seasons, respectively, and to reconstruct growth temperatures. With regard to sub-annual calcification patterns, our results
demonstrate compromised calcification rates during the upwelling season. This is due to declining extension rates, which we attribute to light
dimming caused by high primary production. Interestingly, seasonal variations in skeletal density show no relationship with temporally low
Ωsw during upwelling. This suggests relatively constant, year-round saturation states of aragonite at the site of calcification
(Ωcf) independent of external variability in Ωsw. Although upwelling does not affect seasonal density variability,
exceptionally low mean annual density implies permanent Ωcf adjustment to the lowest sub-annual Ωsw (e.g.
upwelling). In the Arabian Sea upwelling zone, the mean annual calcification rate is similar to Porites from non-upwelling regions because low
skeletal density is compensated by high extension growth. Variable responses of reef coral extension to nutrients, which either exacerbate or
compensate negative effects of diminished skeletal density associated with ocean acidification, may therefore be critical to the maintenance of
adequate carbonate accumulation rates in coral reefs under global change.
A monthly 0.01° terrestrial evapotranspiration product (1982–2018) for the Tibetan Plateau

Published: August 2022

Abstract. Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important component of the water balance system in the “Asian water tower” region, the Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, accurately monitoring and understanding the spatial and temporal variability of the ET components (soil evaporation Es, canopy transpiration Ec, and intercepted water evaporation Ew) on the TP remains gravely challenging due to the paucity of observational data for this remote area. In this study, the 37 years (1982–2018) of monthly ET component data for the TP were produced using the MOD16-STM model, which uses the recently available soil properties, meteorological conditions, and remote sensing datasets. The estimated ET results correlate very well with the measurements from nine flux towers, with a low root mean square error of 13.48 mm/month, mean bias of 2.85 mm/month, coefficient of determination of 0.83, and index of agreement of 0.92. The annual average ET for the entire TP (specified as elevations higher than 2500 m) is about 0.93 ± 0.037 Gt/year. The main contribution of the ET on the TP comes from the soil, with the Es accounting for more than 84 % of the ET. During the study period, the ET exhibited a significant increasing trend, with rates of about 1–4 mm/year (p < 0.05), over most parts of the central and eastern TP and a significant decreasing trend, with rates of −3 to −1 mm/year, over the northwestern TP. The rate of increase in the ET on the TP over the past 37 years was around 0.96 mm/year. The increase in the ET over the entire TP from 1982 to 2018 can be explained by the warming and wetting trend of the climate on the TP during this period. The MOD16-STM ET data exhibited an acceptable performance over the TP compared with previous results. The MOD16-STM ET can adequately represent the actual ET and can be used for research on water resource management, drought monitoring, and ecological change.

Probabilistic description of bedload fluxes from the aggregate dynamics of individual grains
Authors: Pierce J. Kevin , Hassan Marwan A. , Ferreira Rui M. L.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. We formulate the bedload sediment flux probability distribution from the Lagrangian dynamics of individual grains. Individual particles obey Langevin equations wherein the stochastic forces driving particle motions are switched on and off by particle entrainment and deposition. The flux is calculated as the rate of many such particles crossing a control surface within a specified observation time. Flux distributions inherit observation time dependence from the on–off motions of particles. At the longest observation times, distributions converge to sharp peaks around classically expected values, but at short times, fluctuations are erratic.
We relate this scale dependence of bedload transport rates to the movement characteristics of individual sediment grains. This work provides a statistical mechanics description for the fluctuations and observation-scale dependence of sediment transport rates.
Multi-dimensional hydrological–hydraulic model with variational data assimilation for river networks and floodplains
Authors: Pujol Léo , Garambois Pierre-André , Monnier Jérôme
Published: August 2022

Abstract. This contribution presents a novel multi-dimensional (multi-D) hydraulic–hydrological
numerical model with variational data assimilation capabilities. It
allows multi-scale modeling over large domains, combining in situ
observations with high-resolution hydrometeorology and satellite
data. The multi-D hydraulic model relies on the 2D shallow-water equations
solved with a 1D–2D adapted single finite-volume solver. One-dimensional-like reaches
are built through meshing methods that cause the 2D solver to degenerate
into 1D. They are connected to 2D portions that act as local zooms,
for modeling complex flow zones such as floodplains and confluences,
via 1D-like–2D interfaces. An existing parsimonious hydrological model,
GR4H, is implemented and coupled to the hydraulic model. The forward-inverse
multi-D computational model is successfully validated on virtual
and real cases of increasing complexity, including using the second-order scheme version. Assimilating multiple observations of flow signatures
leads to accurate inferences of multi-variate and spatially distributed
parameters among bathymetry friction, upstream and lateral hydrographs and hydrological model parameters. This notably demonstrates the possibility
for information feedback towards upstream hydrological catchments, that is, backward hydrology. A 1D-like model of part of the Garonne
River is built and accurately reproduces flow lines and propagations
of a 2D reference model. A multi-D model of the complex Adour basin
network, with inflow from the semi-distributed hydrological model, is built.
High-resolution flow simulations are obtained on a large domain, including fine zooms on floodplains, with a relatively low computational cost since the network contains mostly 1D-like reaches. The current work constitutes an upgrade of the DassFlow computational platform. The adjoint of the whole tool chain is obtained by automatic code differentiation.
Late Cretaceous–early Palaeogene inversion-related tectonic structures at the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (southwestern Poland and northern Czechia)
Authors: Głuszyński Andrzej , Aleksandrowski Paweł
Published: August 2022

Abstract. A brief, regional-scale review of the Late Cretaceous–early Palaeogene inversion-related tectonic structures affecting the Sudety
Mountains and their foreland at the NE margin of the Bohemian Massif is presented
and complemented with results of new seismic studies. The Sudetes expose
Variscan-deformed basement, partly overlain by post-orogenic Permo-Mesozoic
cover, containing a wide spectrum of tectonic structures, both brittle and
ductile, in the past in this area referred to as young Saxonian or Laramide.
We have used newly reprocessed legacy seismics to study these structures in
the two main post-Variscan structural units of the area: the North Sudetic
and Intra-Sudetic synclinoria. The results were discussed together with
regionally distributed examples of tectonic structures from quarries and
underground mines as well as those known from the literature. The Late
Cretaceous–early Palaeogene tectonic structures in consecutively reviewed
Sudetic tectonic units, from the north to the south, typically include gentle to
moderately tight buckle folds, locally of detachment type or fault-related
and high-angle reverse and normal faults, as well as low-angle thrusts –
often rooted in the crystalline basement. The structures termed grabens in
the local literature are at the same time frequently interpreted as bounded
by reverse faults (hence we use here the term “reverse grabens”) and
typically reveal a strongly synclinal pattern of their sedimentary fill. The
top of the crystalline basement, as imaged by seismic data in the North Sudetic
Synclinorium below the faulted and folded cover, is synformally down-warped
with a wavelength of up to 30 km, whereas on the elevated areas, where the
basement top is exposed at the surface, it is tectonically up-warped (i.e.
antiformally buckled). The compressional structures typically show an
orientation that fits the regionally known Late Cretaceous–early
Palaeogene tectonic shortening direction of NE–SW to NNE–SSW. The same
applies to the regional jointing pattern, typically comprising an orthogonal
system of steep joints of ca. NW–SE and NE–SW strikes. All the reviewed
structures are regarded as being due to the Late Cretaceous–early Palaeogene
tectonic shortening episode, although some of the discussed faults with a
strike-slip component of motion may have been modified, or even produced, by
late Cenozoic tectonism.

Published: August 2022

The rearing of chicken in India has undergone a drastic change from backyard production to commercial intensive farming. This has led to the use of antibiotics in therapy, metaphylaxis and as growth promoters. Escherichia coli are commensals that inhabit the gut of man and animals. The detection of virulent pathotypes of E. coli in chicken is a huge threat to human health. The present study assessed 200 retail chicken sold in central Kerala for the presence of virulent E. coli and studied the tetracycline susceptibility followed by detection of tetA and tetB gene. E. coli was detected in 64 per cent of the samples. The virulence genes, eaeA and aggR were detected in 52.2 and 3.9 per cent of the E. coli isolates, respectively. Tetracycline resistance by antibiotic susceptibility testing (ABST) was found in 30.84 per cent of the virulent isolates. The tetracycline efflux pump protein coding genes, tetA and tetB were detected in 56.67 and 25 per cent, respectively. The detection of drug resistant bacteria is a threat to public health as tetracycline is classified as a highly important antibiotic in human medicine.
Effect of supplementing limiting amino acids on growth performance and carcass traits of Gramasree male chicks fed with low protein diets
Authors: Sreyass K. S. , Joseph Beena C. , Anitha P. , Chacko Binoj , Maya S.
Published: August 2022

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of reduced dietary crude protein (CP) diet supplemented with limiting amino acids on growth performance and carcass traits of Gramasree male birds up to eight weeks of age. A total of 280 day-old chicks were allotted randomly under five dietary treatments each with four replicates of 14 chicks under completely randomized design. The different dietary treatments viz., control diet (T1) was formulated as per ICAR (2013) nutrient requirements for Indian improved native birds with 21 per cent CP and 2800 kcal/kg Metabolizable energy (ME) using corn, soya bean meal, wheat bran and de-oiled rice bran. Treatment diets T2, T3, T4 and T5 were formulated by reducing CP content to 20, 19, 18, and 17 per cent, respectively with isocaloric value of 2800 kcal/kg ME and supplemented with methionine, lysine, threonine and tryptophan to meet the daily requirements. Weekly body weight and feed consumption were recorded. For the carcass study, two birds from each replicate were randomly selected and slaughtered humanely at eighth week of age. The results showed that the final body weight and cumulative weight gain were comparable among the treatments. The lowest cumulative feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed in 17 per cent CP containing treatment (T5), which was not significantly different from rest of the groups. The mean per cent breast meat yield, giblet yield, dressing yield and ready-to-cook yield were comparable among the five dietary treatments. The mean abdominal fat content in birds fed with 18 and 17 per cent (T4 and T5) were significantly (p<0.05) higher than the other treatment groups.The overall results indicated that the dietary CP of Gramasree male chicks can be lowered up to 17 per cent with the supplementation of methionine, lysine, threonine and tryptophan without affecting the growth performance of birds.

Published: August 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate the astrocytic reaction in infected brains of dogs in that had been afflicted with the furious and paralytic form of rabies. Brain samples from 23 dogs that were positive for rabies were collected along with six brain samples that were negative for rabies. GFAP (Glial fibrillary acidic protein), specific astrocytic marker was used to differentially analyse the immunoreactivity of astrocytes to GFAP in specific brain regions in two the clinical forms of rabies viz, the furious and paralytic forms. The study showed the extent of astrogliosis in specific regions of brain in the two forms of rabies and also the intensity of GFAP expression. Region wise astrogliosis, was more diffuse in the brains of animals afflicted with the furious form of rabies but were more localized in the brains of animals with the paralytic form, specifically into the white matter of cerebellum.

Психологічні особливості переживання початку війни цивільним населенням м. Харкова
Authors: Оніщенко Наталія
Published: August 2022

В статті наводяться данні щодо вивчення особливостей сприйняття початку війни цивільним населенням міста Харкова. Аналізуються основні реакції мешканців міста на початок повномасштабного вторгнення ворога в Україну. Вивчається динаміка емоційних переживань громадян міста у перші дні війни, у дні, коли було розпочато активні бойові дії. Особливу увагу приділяється питанням сприйняття мешканцями міста факту початку війни з найближчим сусідом. Проводиться дослідження змістовних характеристик переживань людей на ситуацію, аналізується їх ставлення та індивідуальне розуміння того, що відбувається з ними.

Для реалізації мети в дослідженні було проведено структуроване інтерв’ю з цивільним населенням міста Харкова в перші дні повномасштабного вторгнення в Україну. Результати показали, що на початку війни основною реакцією на все, що відбувається і у чоловіків, і у жінок була розгубленість. Поряд з цим, домінували емоції страху та тривоги. Серед психофізіологічних реакцій на той час найбільш розповсюдженою можна назвати астенізацію або дефіцит сил. Сила та інтенсивність страху, який переживали респонденти, майже не змінювались з часом – ця емоція спостерігалась протягом всіх етапів дослідження.

Згідно отриманих результатів, у випробуваних було зафіксовано дію захисних психологічних механізмів, здебільшого за типом заперечення. Це, в свою чергу, заважало їх об’єктивній оцінці ситуації, що відбувалась навколо. Очікуваними, у зв’язку з цим, стали результати щодо помітного рівня виразності розгубленості у випробуваних стосовно своїх подальших дій – переважна більшість з учасників дослідження не розуміли, що їм робити далі. Було встановлено, що переважну більшість опитаних перш за все турбували питання безпеки членів своєї родини та збереження життя рідних людей.

Вивчення зазначених показників в динаміці дозволило встановити, що з часом, під впливом надпотужних стресових чинників відбуваються певні зміни в психічному стані людини.

Authors: Thomas Anil , Singh Ashvika
Published: August 2022

Self-talk is crucial since it significantly affects how people feel and what they do. It may be positive and encouraging, inspiring, or it can be damaging and diminishing one's self-confidence. Aim of the present study was to examine the impact of neurological intervention on self-talk of an individual. Single group pre-post research design was used. Information was collected through self-report measure, self-talk scale by Brinthaupt et al., 2009. In total 108 participants (Male= 32 and female= 76) aged between 18-60 years participated. After conducting a preintervention assessment, participants were asked to practise the tongue drop intervention, learned from John Grinder for at least 24 hours. Postintervention the same test was re-administered with the same participants. Ttest dependent was used for analysing the differences in score of self-talk before and after the intervention. Results show significant difference in scores after the intervention t (107) =2.132, P< .043. Therefore, findings suggest that neurological intervention can be an effective method to regulate self-talk which can lead to a high
functioning state of mind.
SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX) AS AN ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL OBJECT OF INTRODUCTION TO THE NORTHWESTERN REGION OF RUSSIA

Background: The advancement of soybeans to the northern regions is associated with the need to increase the production of plant feed protein. Aim: to improve the soil through biological nitrogen fixation done during the cultivation of soybeans. Methods: The study was conducted in the Kostroma region from 2007-2017. The objects of the study were: the crop soybean varieties Mageva, Svapa, Lancet, Light, Kasatka, and specific microorganisms used to activate the process of nitrogen fixation. Various methods of setting laboratory, field, and production experiments were applied in compliance with the requirements of collecting and processing the obtained data. Laboratory experiments on artificial inoculation of soybean seeds with nitrogen-fixing microflora were carried out according to the method of G. S. Posypanov. Setting, plotting, conducting field and production experiments, and processing of the collected experimental data was carried out according to the generally accepted methods in the Russian Federation by B. A. Dospekhov and V. E. Eshchenko. Results and Discussion: The possibility of obtaining soybean mature seed material up to 1.8-2.0 t/ha, with gross protein yield up to 800 kg/ha, was established. Inoculation of soybean seeds with breeding strains of bacteria increases their yield by 14-30%, while 80-90% of environmentally friendly biological nitrogen was accumulated in the seed mass, increasing the fodder and nutritional quality of products. A local culture (from Russia) of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (K-2) was successfully used. The symbiotic effect leads to the assimilation of atmospheric nitrogen, which is spent both for crop formation and for replenishment of soil reserves of this most important chemical element. Such nitrogen is ecologically clean and is considered as "biological nitrogen" (BN). The supply of biological nitrogen in the soil-plant system (60-70 kg/ha) was calculated. These values do not fully compensate for nitrogen removal with the soybean crop but allow us to reduce the use of more expensive and less environmentally safe mineral fertilizers. Conclusions: The economic costs of producing equivalent feed protein decreased twofold compared to growing traditional crops such as oats and barley. For the first time, specific results on the feasibility of introducing the studied soybean varieties into the Kostroma region of the Russian Federation have been established.

Authors: Gaal Fong Juan Carlos , Gutiérrez Cortés Fernando Ignacio , Miranda Villanueva Oscar Mario
Published: August 2022

Este artículo explora el fenómeno de asunción de identidades en las redes sociales y la influencia que tiene la inteligencia artificial (bots) para que agentes externos logren tomar ventaja de los momentos de vulnerabilidad de diversos sujetos. El tema se aborda desde la perspectiva que ofrecen los estudios de Jacques Lacan y René Girard, con el enfoque de la ecología de medios. La investigación se fundamenta en un análisis particular de manipulación en Twitter en torno del caso de la caravana migrante de 2018 y la propagación del discurso de odio.
