Phylogeny, Classification, and Character Evolution of Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae: Acalyphoideae)
Authors: Levin Geoffrey A. , Cardinal-McTeague Warren M. , Steinmann Victor W. , Sagun Vernie G.
Published: June 2022

Abstract— Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae: Acalyphoideae) is a large, monophyletic genus distributed worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions, with a few species extending into temperate areas of southern Africa, Asia, and North and South America. We reconstructed
phylogenetic relationships within the genus using DNA sequences from the plastid ndhF and trnL-F regions and the nuclear ribosomal ITS region, sampling 142 species to represent the geographic, morphologic, and taxonomic diversity with the genus, resulting in a 162 (158 in Acalypha)
terminal and 3847 character combined dataset. Bayesian and maximum likelihood reconstructions based on the combined dataset yielded a tree with a generally well-supported backbone and several strongly supported clades. Our results strongly supported the monophyly of Acalypha subg. Acalypha
as currently recognized but showed that A. subg. Linostachys and almost all other infrageneric taxa recognized in the most recent comprehensive classification of the genus were not monophyletic. We therefore propose a new subgeneric classification comprising A. subg. Acalypha,
A. subg. Androcephala, A. subg. Hypandrae, and A. subg. Linostachys (s.s.). Our results also shed light on relationships within some species groups, including in what has been treated as a broadly defined A. amentacea, in which we recognize
A. amentacea, A. palauensis comb. nov., and A. wilkesiana as distinct species. Bayesian ancestral state estimations based on the phylogeny of Acalypha demonstrated that inflorescence position and sexuality and habit show high homoplasy, especially within
A. subg. Acalypha, and that inflorescence position and habit exhibit correlated evolution.
Espeletia saboyana(Millerieae, Asteraceae), a New Critically Endangered Caulirosula from Cordillera Oriental, Colombia
Authors: Becerra María Teresa , Mavárez Jesús
Published: June 2022

Abstract—Espeletia saboyana, a new species from Páramo de Saboyá, Boyacá department, Colombia, is described and illustrated. It is a caulescent rosette up to 5 m tall, with whitish-cinereous appearance, sessile leaves with elliptic laminae, cymose capitulescences with aphyllous unbranched portion and 3‐5 capitula, 5‐13 phyllaries, the external ones 17.4‐26.0 mm long, 49‐92 ray florets 13.0‐18.4 mm long, and 162‐347 disc florets 8.2‐12.2 mm long.Espeletia saboyanais similar toE. incana, but with longer laminae, bigger foliar area, and fewer ray floret series. It is also similar toE. murilloi, but with longer ray tubes, ray paleae, disc corollas, disc styles, disc anther appendages, and disc paleae. In addition,E. saboyanais distributed allopatrically in regard toE. incanaandE. murilloi. This species is informally proposed to be listed as IUCN Critically Endangered (CR), since it is restricted to a single population with extent of occurrence = 1.83 km2and area of occupancy = 0.48 km2. Besides, this population is severely fragmented into 40‐50 demes, the largest one covering only 34,000 m2. Most demes are found in humid soils and wetlands submitted to continuous habitat deterioration as water is drained for use in agriculture.Espeletia saboyanais rare or absent in these newly drained areas, which are either colonized by other species that thrive on drier soils or transformed into pastures for cattle grazing. Furthermore, analyses of size class distributions show that recruitment rates ofE. saboyanaare significantly lower in small demes, which, if not reversed, can further reduce population size in the near future.
RETHINKING AND RECONCEPTUALIZING ENERGY SECURITY: THE CASE OF CHINA
Authors: AKTAN Özgenur
Published: June 2022

This study examines the concept of energy security and proposes an alternative paradigm in the context of the climate crisis. In this context, the presuppositions of mainstream and contemporary approaches towards energy security in International Relations discipline will be examined and formulated in four sorts of approaches as realist, liberal, environmental and human security. These approaches will be classified as traditional and contemporary energy security paradigms. This study contends that the connection to realist and liberal approaches is the predominant strategy in the field of energy security and for this reason, the relationship between energy and security needs to be reconceptualized. Although environmental and human security approaches have been effective in deepening the boundaries of energy security, a critical perspective is necessary for both mainstream and contemporary energy security paradigms. In this regard, the focus will be directed to the energy security policies of China to accentuate problematic aspects of the contemporary energy security paradigm. Then, the concept of planetary security as normative and interdisciplinary framework for the energy security policies, which have been in search of a paradigm, will be proposed.

The measurement of precipitation chemistry enables the assessment of the temporal and spatial evolution of the chemical composition of the atmosphere associated with atmospheric physical and chemical mechanisms. The aims of this study were to report the chemical composition of rainwater collected at a marine environment, i.e. the Cape Point Global Atmosphere Watch (CPT GAW) station from 2004 to 2012. As expected, the volume weighted mean (VWM) concentrations of Na+ (298.64 μEq.L-1) and Cl- (354.18 μEq.L-1) were significantly higher compared to the VWM concentrations of other ionic species, as well as compared to the VWM concentrations thereof at the sites in the South African interior. The average pH of rainwater was slightly lower than the pH of unpolluted rainwater, mainly due to NO3- associated with the occasional influence of the Cape Town metropole. In contrast to the sites situated in the north-eastern South African interior, where anthropogenic SO42- was the major constituent in rainwater, SO42- at CPT GAW was entirely associated with marine air with no anthropogenic contribution. It was also indicated that 94% of the chemical content at CPT GAW can be attributed to the marine source.
Analysis of the first surface nitrogen dioxide concentration observations over the South African Highveld derived from the Pandora-2s instrument
Authors: Kai Refilwe Faith , Scholes Mary , Piketh Stuart J. , Scholes Robert J.
Published: June 2022

Anthropogenic emissions from industry, biomass burning and traffic are significant contributors to the atmospheric loading of nitrogen dioxide on the South African Highveld. These sources are dispersed across the region and emit nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2)into the atmosphere at different elevations above the earth's surface. Additionally, atmospheric stability in the form of surface andelevated inversions decreases the dispersion of air pollutants and stratifies pollutants into distinctive layers above the surface. Thisstudy explores the Highveld near-surface nitrogen dioxide concentrations obtained using the ground-based Pandora-2s monitoringsystem. The Pandora-2s instrument retrieves surface NO2 levels from clear sky measurements using a fully parameterised algorithm.We present the first near-surface concentration measurements of atmospheric NO2 at Wakkerstroom, a site between Volksrust andAmersfoort, downstream of major source conglomerates, the Majuba power station and other industries. These data are exploredin the presence and context of potential background NO2 concentrations in the area derived from other ground-based sensors. Thequasicontinuous data show elevated surface NO2 levels in week 37 (September) of 2020 (7.3 ± 5.7 ppb), while the lowest levels wereobserved in week 15 (April) of 2020 (0.2 ± 0.04 ppb). The elevated surface NO2 levels are driven by dominant emission sources andtransport trajectories, while the accuracy in the measurements is based on the high temporal resolution of the ground-based Pandora2s instrument.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the relationship between the habit of outdoor cycling activities and the level of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic among the members of the bicycle community in Malang City. 

Materials and methods. This research is correlational, with a cross-sectional study approach. A total of 125 subjects from the bicycle community in Malang City voluntarily participated to become respondents in this study. The measurement of cycling physical activity habits was carried out using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while the measurement of the level of depression used the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Measurements of physical activity habits and depression levels were performed at the same time. The data analysis used the Pearson product-moment model using statistical software package for social science (SPSS) version 17.0 with a set significance level (p ≤ 0.05).

Results. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between the habit of outdoor cycling activities and the level of depression (r = –0.604; p ≤ 0.001) and showed a strong correlation between the two variables.

Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, there is a negative correlation between the habit of outdoor cycling activities and the level of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic among the members of the bicycle community in Malang City.

Authors: Maliqi Arben , Sylejmani Blerim , Myrtaj Nazim
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of recreational futsal on passive middle-aged footballers in body composition. 

Materials and methods. The research was conducted on a sample of 58 men aged from 30 to 40, average age 35.88 ± 2.39. The sample was divided into two groups. The first group included 29 passive football players (average age 35.58 ± 2.36) who were engaged in recreational futsal 2-3 times a week, and the second group included 29 passive football players (average age 36.17 ± 2.42) who weren’t engaged in recreational physical activity. The body composition was assessed by TANITA BC-601, the method of bioelectrical impedance, which became a reference method in research studies in the body composition analysis. The variables obtained were: body height (cm), body weight (kg), fat mass (%), muscle mass (kg), bone mass (kg), body mass index (kg/m2), calorie consumption – daily calorie intake (kcal), vitality of the body, quantity of water in the body (%), visceral fat (%).

Results. Groups are not distinguished in the variables body height (HBH), calorie consumption – daily calorie intake (DCI), vitality of the body (BMR), and quantity of water in the body (TBV) because p > 0.05. In the variables where body mass, body fat tissue and muscle mass were assed, namely body weight (BWT), fat mass (BFP), muscle mass (TBM), bone mass (BMD), body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat (AVF), a statistically significant difference was gained p < 0.05 in favor of the group of passive football players who were involved in recreational futsal.

Conclusions. It can be said that the recreational futsal as physical activity is an effective tool to improve body composition not only in passive football players but in all persons of all ages regardless of gender. Intensity and duration in recreational futsal is an effective way to reduce body fat in the population of passive middle-aged football players.

Life Cycle Assessment of Wind Turbine in Turkey
Authors: KÜÇÜKKARACA Buket , BARUTCU Burak
Published: June 2022

This article aims to assess life cycle analysis of a wind turbine in Turkey regarding production, transport, construction, operation, and disposal processes in terms of energy and environment. In this context, a 2-MW three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine has been selected. Two different scenarios have been studied which comprises wind turbines using Al-Conductor and Cu-Conductor cables. Although the cost of Al-Conductor cables is low, their joule losses are higher. The life cycle assessment of a wind turbine includes production, transportation, construction, operation and disposal, and the energy has been generated in its operation time (selected as 20 years). Iron, cast iron, steel, copper, aluminum, and oil have been sent to a recycling facility and the composite materials has been sent for incineration at the end of its life. The energy payback period has been calculated as 10 months in both scenarios and the embodied energy is 2858.2 MWh and 2830.3 MWh for wind turbine using Al-Conductor and Cu-Conductor cable during its lifetime, respectively. Air emission and wastewater production have been calculated to assess environmental impacts (global warming, acidification, eutrophication, etc.) whose consequence provides an evaluation of the life cycle assessment of a wind turbine. For example, global warming is 14.44 and 15.24 g CO2 eq./kWh for wind turbine using Al-Conductor and Cu-Conductor cable, respectively. As a result, the life cycle analysis of the wind turbines has been evaluated and compared regarding two different scenarios according to the definition of ISO 14040 standard throughout its life from production to disposal.

BACKGROUND: Digital technologies such as those used to manufacture complete removable dentures have become widely popular in the field of dentistry. The fabrication of an accurate, monolithic removable denture where the teeth and base are made using subtractive or additive technologies is crucial.
AIM: The aim of the current study was to develop a device that permits manufacture of removable dentures using digital technologies.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article describes modern methods of manufacturing complete removable dentures.
RESULTS: With the help of digital technologies, it was possible to obtain a monolithic prosthesis made of plastic, eliminating inaccuracies in the positioning of teeth during placement in the basis of the prosthesis, as well as to connect the basis of the prosthesis and teeth using acrylic plastic. Additionally, a brief description of the basic tools and materials necessary for this technique have also been provided.
CONCLUSION: The advantages of digitally manufacturing complete removable dentures include high accuracy, absence of overbite, high speed, and minimal shrinkage. These benefits allow us to conclude that the use of digital protocols for the manufacture of complete removable dentures is essential in order to achieve favorable treatment outcomes that meet the expectations of the doctor and the needs of the patient.
Endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatitin önlenmesinde majör papillaya doğrudan epinefrin püskürtme yönteminin değerlendirilmesi
Authors: GERÇEKER Emre , CERRAH Serkan , BAYKAN Ahmet Ramiz , YÜCEYAR Hakan
Published: June 2022

Giriş ve Amaç: Akut pankreatit, endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografinin en yaygın komplikasyonudur. Dikkate değer morbidite ve mortalite oranlarına sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tek başına lokal epinefrin uygulamasının endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatit sıklığını ve şiddetini azaltmadaki etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi yapılan 979 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi endikasyonları, tekniği, endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatit riskini artıran durumlar, endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatit varlığı ve şiddeti, serum amilaz, lökosit ve C-reaktif protein seviyeleri (öncesi ve sonrası) kaydedildi. Veriler sadece lokal epinefrin profilaksisi alan 473 hasta ve almayan 506 hasta olmak üzere iki grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Tüm hastalar arasında endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatit oranı %6.8, yüksek riskli hasta grubunda ise %13.6 olarak saptandı. Lokal epinefrin profilaksisi alan grupta, almayan gruba göre endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatit daha az görüldü (%9.1’e karşı %4.4; p = 0.004). Epinefrin grubunda endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası amilaz, lökosit ve C-reaktif protein düzeyleri epinefrin almayan gruba göre anlamlı olarak düşük saptandı (p = 0.001, p = 0.004, p = 0.001). Epinefrin grubunda daha az sıklıkla şiddetli ve orta derecede şiddetli pankreatit görüldü (p = 0.003). Yüksek riskli hasta grubunda lokal epinefrin irrigasyonunun endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatit oranını düşürdüğü gözlendi (%18.9’a karşı %7.9; p = 0.002). Sonuç: Majör papillaya direkt püskürtme yöntemi ile epinefrin irrigasyonu endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi sonrası pankreatitin önlenmesinde uygulaması kolay, güvenli ve ümit verici bir yöntemdir. Etkinliğini araştırmak için geniş popülasyonlarla daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
Plastic Waste in India: overview, impact, and measures to mitigate: Review
Authors: Chauhan Dr. Abhishek , Datta Sugata , Ranjan Anuj , Tuli Hardeep Singh , Dhama Kuldeep , Sardar Abul Hasan , Jindal Tanu
Published: June 2022

India is one of the world’s large and fastest-growing economies. With the expanding development, the usage of plastic for anthropogenic activities has expanded many folds and India alone generated around 3.3 million metric tonnes of plastic in the financial year 2019. 79 percent of the plastic generated worldwide enters our land, water, and environment as waste; part of it also enters our bodies through the food chain. The industry in India states that 60 percent of what is generated is recycled and we had assumed that we had solved the problem of plastic waste by recycling, or burying it in landfills. But we were incorrect. Plastic garbage is omnipresent today. It is filling up our oceans and harming marine life and affecting all organisms in the food chain. With the development of economic growth of the country per capita consumption of plastic will only increase in the coming years and we will end up generating more plastic waste The review paper aimed to examine the major impact of plastic waste in India and how to reduce plastic consumption, considering measures such as phasing out or banning multilayered plastics that cannot be recycled, contemplating renewable raw materials, promoting the use of bioplastics, incentivizing the recycling business, and making the rules and guidelines for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) simple and enforceable.

Teknolojinin bize sunabileceği avantajlardan yararlanmak ve dersleri sınıf dışına taşımak yaşam boyu öğrenmeyi teşvik etmede önemli adımlar olabilir. Bu bağlamda, mevcut çalışmada, geleneksel anlatım tarzı bir dersi ters yüz öğrenme ortamına dönüştürmenin, öğrencilerin derse yönelik motivasyonunu ve memnuniyetini nasıl etkileyebileceği araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla, karma yöntemle uygulanan bu çalışma kapsamında, Türkiye'deki bir devlet üniversitesindeki İngiliz Dili Eğitimi öğrencilerine temel alan derslerinden biri ters yüz öğretim modelinde sunulmuştur. Bu model kapsamında ders izlencesi, ders materyalleri ve uygulama etkinlikleri bir öğrenme yönetim sistemi aracılığıyla çevrimiçi olarak öğrencilerle paylaşılmıştır. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin genel olarak motivasyon ve memnuniyet düzeylerinin oldukça yüksek olduğunu ve ters yüz öğretimin öğrencilerin öğrenme ve performans öz-yeterliği üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Nitel verilerin derinlemesine analizleri, ters yüz öğrenme sürecinin algılanan yararları ve zayıflıklarının altını çizmiştir. İçerik ve yönergelerin iyileştirilmesi ise öğrencilerin en sık belirttiği gelişim önerisi olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.
Privacy Perception of Social Network Platforms Regarding the Information Policies: Evaluation of User Information Behavior
Authors: HENKOĞLU Türkay
Published: June 2022

Today personal and corporate use of messaging applications, which are among the basic elements of social networking platforms, has become a vital necessity. This situation has increased the desire of relevant organizations to implement security policies on widely used messaging applications, which are completely suitable for their own strategies. Such changes in information security policies increase concerns about individual and corporate privacy, and as a result of this situation, users turn to different applications as a reaction to these changes. In this study, the WhatsApp application, which has the most users both in the world and in Turkey, was examined and the privacy issues that users should pay attention to in messaging applications were revealed. In the study, the effects of changes planned to be made by WhatsApp were evaluated with two different approaches to protecting personal data and ensuring information security. In this context, it was found that the information behaviors of users related to the perception of information security are not compatible with the potential risks and threats. At the end of the study, measures and preferences that can be taken to protect data against the risks and threats of messaging applications are presented.
The Relationship between Income Inequality and Energy Consumption: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: ARI Ayşe
Published: June 2022

Literatürde gelir eşitsizliği ve enerji tüketimi arasında çift yönlü bir ilişkinin söz konusu olabileceği ifade edilmektedir. Bu hususta ilk olarak gelir eşitsizliğindeki derinleşmenin, yoksul kesimin enerjiye erişimini kısıtlayarak toplam enerji tüketimini azaltabileceği savunulmaktadır. İkinci olarak, bireylerin ihtiyaç duyduğu enerjiyi elde etmekte zorlukla karşılaşmasının onların eğitim, sağlık ve dolayısıyla iş alanlarında problemlere yol açarak gelir eşitsizliğini artıracağı ileri sürülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da, gelir eşitsizliğinin enerji tüketimi üzerindeki etkisini Türkiye için araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla Türkiye ekonomisi 1989-2018 dönemi için Bayer ve Hanck (2013) eşbütünleşme testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, gelir eşitsizliği ve enerji tüketimi arasında uzun dönemde bir ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmada ayrıca değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Hacker ve Hatemi (2010) testi ile sorgulanmıştır. Test sonuçlarına göre, gelir eşitsizliği ve enerji tüketimi arasında bir nedensellik ilişkisi söz konusu değildir. Özetle, gelir dağılımı adaletindeki bozulmaların yoksulların enerjiye erişimini kısıtlaması ve toplam enerji tüketimini azaltması beklenmeyecektir. Kısaca, enerji tüketimi ve gelir eşitsizliğinin birbirinden bağımsız olduğu söylenebilir.
Money Foundation: Religious Interest? Blessed Debt? A Trial Of Understanding

Published: June 2022

İslam devletlerinde vakıflar, toplumun sosyal, iktisadi, kültürel ve dini açıdan şekillenmesinde öncü olmuştur. Menkul, gayrimenkul ve hatta para vakıflarıyla önemli miktarda gelirler elde edilirken; bu gelirler halk için kullanılmıştır. Temeli İslamiyet’in ilk dönemlerine dayanan bu kurumlar, Osmanlı Devleti döneminde gelişimini tamamlamıştır. Bu süreçte yapılan icraatlarda ve işleyiş usullerinde de değişiklikler olabilmiştir. Bu değişikliklerden en önemlisi de diğer İslam devletlerinde görülmemiş olan ve Osmanlı döneminde ortaya çıkan para vakıfları olmuştur. Para ekonomisinin gelişmeye başlamasıyla ortaya çıkan bu olgu ilk olarak cevaz tartışmalarını beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu kurumlar gerçekte ilk bankalar olup faizli çalışan kurumlar mıdır? Yani kayıtlarda geçen 10’u 11’den borç vermek çoğu iktisatçının anladığı gibi yüzde on faizle borç vermek midir? Yoksa bu işlem kısaca peşin alıp vadeli satma olarak tanımlanabilecek bir ticaret midir? Doğrusunun bu ikincisi olduğunu belirten birçok İslam bilgini bu uygulamanın İslam şeriatına uygun olduğu yönünde fetva vermişlerdir. Böylece İslam devletinde bankacılığın temelleri atılmış, insanların tefecilerin baskısından kurtarılmış olduğu ifade edilmiştir. Vakıfların devlet tarafından desteklenmesi ve belli süreçlerde denetlenmesi, bu kurumların uzun ömürlü olmasını sağlarken insanların bu müesseselere güvenmesini de sağlamıştır.

Authors: Flek M. B. , Ugnich E. A.
Published: June 2022

Purpose: the purpose of the article is to substantiate the ecosystem approach to managing the interaction of an enterprise with educational and other organizations to provide it with the necessary human capital.

Methods: this article is based on an ecosystem approach. A resource approach was used to substantiate the advantages of the professional and educational ecosystem. The method of situational analysis is used. The questionnaire method made it possible to evaluate the results of the ecosystem of a particular enterprise based on the expert`s opinion. The assessment of the structural model of management of the professional and educational ecosystem was carried out using correlation analysis.

Results: the possibilities of an ecosystem approach to the formation of new organizational forms of interaction between subjects of the real sector of the economy and the education system in a dynamically changing external environment are shown. The content of the vocational education ecosystem is revealed as a kind of socio-economic, the key features of which are the specific composition of subjects and a special goal (creation of joint value) – reproduction of the enterprise human capital. The key objects of management of the vocational education ecosystem are highlighted: resources, processes, results and interaction of participants.

Implementation of ESG strategies of Russian companies under sanctions restrictions
Authors: Izmailova M. A.
Published: June 2022

Purpose:of the study is to analyze and determine the prospects for the implementation of ESG strategies of Russian companies in the context of escalating anti-Russian sanctions restrictions.

Methods:the study is based on the application of the concept of sustainable development, evolving from the "umbrella" concept of corporate social responsibility. The application of the concept of a systematic approach and the theory of decision-making to the management of the organization allowed us to consider the possibilities of incorporating ESG principles into the development strategy of companies.

Results:an assessment of the state of non-financial reporting in Russia is given, showing a significant gap between Russian companies and foreign ones in the number of published reports. The impact of Western sanctions on the disclosure of financial statements has been determined, and the relevant draft law is expected to be approved regarding the regulation of the issuance of non-financial statements, the development of which takes into account the experience of anti-Russian sanctions restrictions. It is established that in conditions of high uncertainty of the geopolitical and economic situation, Russian companies confirm their commitment to the course of sustainable development, recognizing the possibility of revising the Sustainable Development Goals, updating the ESG strategy and the portfolio of ESG projects. The prospects and tasks for the development of the ESG agenda, as well as the directions of the evolution of non-financial reporting, are determined.

Conclusions and Relevance: in the face of unprecedented sanctions restrictions, Russian companies continue to follow previously adopted ESG strategies. Building business processes based on ESG principles gives undeniable advantages at different levels of the economic system: at the macro level – improving the environmental situation on a planetary scale; at the national level – progressive socio-economic development; at the micro level – increasing loyalty to the company of all its stakeholders with all the ensuing advantages. Recognizing the positive adherence of Russian companies to the global trend of issuing non-financial reports informing the public about the results of the implementation of their ESG strategies, Russian business needs to improve the quality of this activity: organize the process of preparing reports taking into account current challenges, trends, requests of the state, investors and society, objectively reflect the results in the field of ESG transformation.

Authors: Nikitin A. V.
Published: June 2022

Purpose: the purpose of this article is to study the current and potential opportunities for using blockchain technology in systems for recording and registering property rights to land.

Methods: the work was based on a comprehensive and system analysis, a comparison of international practices for working with blockchain technology, as well as the study and comparison of existing international practices in the subject area under consideration.

Results: systems based on blockchain technology can be used in systems for recording and registering rights to land plots, however, they must be adapted to the existing procedure and consider legal requirements. Since an institutional infrastructure is needed to guarantee real estate rights, only the use of closed private or hybrid blockchain technology, administered by employees of a public institution and used by legitimate participants in real estate transactions (e.g., notaries and real estate lawyers) with the provision of proper user identification, can be accepted. into account. These theses are confirmed by practical examples based on the results of the analysis among 12 countries. In states with a high degree of digitalization of rights registration systems, a significant level of involvement of state bodies remains, and a system based on the principles of a private closed blockchain is used as an additional technology that supports existing registration systems.

Conclusions and Relevance: blockchain technology can be used as a tool to improve the efficiency of existing land registration systems and increase the security level of ongoing transactions. At the same time, transactions will be transparent, immutable and recoverable. However, taking into account the specifics of registration and transfer of rights, features of legislative and legal norms. It is recommended to continue the discussion of the optimal legal and technical ways to use the opportunities offered by blockchain technology, in accordance with the main functions of accounting and registration systems for land rights.

Background: Malaria treatment in Africa is increasingly becoming difficult resulting from Plasmodium falciparum resistant to available antimalarial agents. Therefore, evaluating plants used in traditional medicines can lead to alternative treatment against malaria.Methods: This study evaluated the antiplasmodial activity of ethanol extract of Dacryodes edulis in chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium berghei NK65 strain in mice. The 4-day suppressive test, repository and curative effect against established rodent malaria infection models were assayed in this study. The oral acute toxicity test and phytochemical screening were also carried out on the ethanol leaf extract.Results: The ethanol leaf extract of Dacryodes edulis (D. edulis) at varying doses of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg significantly (p<0.05) exhibited dose-dependent decrease in parasitaemia at suppressive, repository and curative studies. Chloroquine 10 mg/kg significantly (p<0.05) decreased parasitaemia levels in the three models of malaria infections. The antiplasmodial activity of the leaf extract is comparable with the standard drug. The extract was found to be non-toxic acutely in mice.Conclusions: The findings show that D. edulis ethanol leaf extract demonstrated high antiplasmodial activity in a dose-dependent fashion. Thus, supporting claims of the plant traditional therapeutic importance for malaria treatment, and can be developed as an alternative therapy against the disease.

Published: June 2022

Background: The daily risk of mortality in first 4 weeks of life is almost 30-fold higher than post-neonatal period. Late onset sepsis (LONS) and meningitis still continue to be major causes of mortality and morbidity in newborn period. Our study was done to study clinical profile of enrolled newborns with LONS along with incidence of meningitis in them. The objective of this study was to study clinico-bacteriological profile and to determine associated incidence of meningitis in neonates with late onset sepsis (LONS) in a hospital setting in Northern India.Methods: It was a hospital based prospective observational study conducted over a period of 12 months enrolling 122 newborn with >72 hours of age fulfilling inclusion criterias.Results: Out of total 122 enrolled newborn, 37 (30.3%) neonates had meningitis. 71 (58.20%) were of term gestation with majority 61 (50.0%) in age group of 4-7days of life. Incidence of LONS in low birth weight and very low birth weight were 54% and 13.5%. Most commonly seen symptoms in at admission were lethargy, refusal to feed and fever. Blood culture was positive in 45 (36.88%) in neonates with Acinetobacter baumanii, klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichiae coli being most commonly seen organisms. Cerebrospinalfluid (CSF) culture was positive in 4 (10.81%) newborns. Mean duration of hospital stay was 24.75±13.96 days. Mortality in neonatal meningitis was 3 (3.2%).Conclusions: Our study proved that about one third of newborn admitted with LONS also had coexistent meningitis. Thus CSF analysis is a must and it should not be missed as untreated meningitis can be devastating for newborn. Antibiotics must be added as per antibiogram of specified institute.
Cerebral palsy specific growth charts for Indian children: need of the hour
Authors: Choudhary Govind , Inamdar Nusrat Rahim , Mauskar Anupama
Published: June 2022

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are generally undernourished and growth retarded. The nutritional assessment and anthropometry have important role in management of these problems. Reference growth curves for Indian children with CP may be helpful to clinicians and beneficial to children for better assessment of nutritional status and to monitor growth. This study was conducted to compare the anthropometric inferences derived from specific growth curves for CP developed by centers for disease control (CDC) with that of using WHO and IAP growth curves.Methods: Cross sectional observational study conducted on 40 children with CP aged 2 to 12 year. Through universal sampling. Anthropometric variables measured and plotted on age and gender specific growth curves for cerebral palsy and on WHO / IAP growth curves. Nutritional assessments on these growth curves are then compared.Results: Number of underweight children were more on WHO/IAP growth curves 52.5% (n=21) compared to CP specific growth curves 20% (n=8) (p=0.002) similarly, number of stunted children were more on WHO/IAP growth curves (40% versus 0%) compared to CP specific growth curves (p=0.0001) both being statistically significant. No significant difference was seen on comparing BMI (p=0.067).Conclusions: Significant difference in nutritional status is observed when anthropometric variables are compared on two curves (CP specific versus WHO/IAP curves). Applying WHO/IAP growth curves, to assess the growth of children with cerebral palsy may not be appropriate and may have fallacies with interpretations of growth and nutritional status. Apart from nutrition, functional status and co morbidities also play a vital role in deciding nutritional status. Disease specific or standardized growth charts for Indian children with CP may play an important role in early diagnosis and management of growth faltering.
