Crafting Baba Yaga from the Australian landscape: An interview with Lorena Carrington
Authors: Do Rozario Rebecca-Anne , Carrington Lorena
Published: July 2021

The Australian fairy-tale tradition is as much about art as literature. This interview

engages with how one artist physically draws upon the Australian landscape to retell

iconic imagery from European fairy tale and folklore and how she sees her work in

relation to contemporary writers. Australian fairy tale is in open negotiation with the

history of the landscape and finding the stuff of fairy tale in the rocks, leaves, bones

and debris of the landscape allows Carrington to craft work that engages with old

European traditions while connecting to Australia’s material presence and looking

forward to our innovative future in the genre.
Of education, the bush and other strange creatures: Environmental conservation in Australian fairy tales
Authors: Snell Catherine
Published: July 2021

Fairy tales were late to appear in the Australian context but they quickly reflected

contemporary concerns over the treatment of the native flora and fauna. Writers of early

Australian fairy tales promoted the conservation of the Australian environment,

educated children in the realities of living in the harsh Australian landscape and warned

of the dangers that humans posed to the native animal population. This article posits

that this movement in fairy tales was due to contemporary changes in curriculum and

attitudes towards children’s education, and a growing sense of nationalism postFederation in 1901 that tied the Australian identity to the landscape.
Strategic, stylistic and notional intertextuality: Fairy tales in contemporary Australian fiction
Authors: Wood Danielle
Published: July 2021

While Canadian scholar Lisa M Fiander argues that fairy tales are ‘everywhere’ in

Australian fiction, this paper questions that assertion. It considers what it means for a

fairy tale to be ‘in’ a work of contemporary fiction, and posits a classificatory system

based on the vocabulary of contemporary music scholarship where a distinction is made

between intertextuality that is stylistic and that which is strategic. Stylistic

intertextuality is the adoption of features of a style or genre without reference to

specific examples, while strategic intertexuality references specific prior works.

Two distinct approaches to strategic fairy-tale revision have emerged in Australian

writing in recent decades. One approach, exemplified in works by writers including

Kate Forsyth, Margo Lanagan and Juliet Marillier, leans towards the retelling of

European fairy tales. Examples include Forsyth’s The Beast’s garden (’Beauty and the

Beast’), Lanagan’s Tender morsels (‘Snow White and Rose Red’) and Marillier’s short

story ‘By bone-light’ (‘Vasilisa the Beautiful’). The other, more fractured, approach is

exemplified in works by writers including Carmel Bird and Murray Bail, which do not

retell fairy tales but instead echo them and allude to them.

This paper proposes that recent Australian works that retell fairy tales are less likely to

be set in a recognisably Australian context than are works which take a more fractured

approach to fairy tale. It also explores the notion that, presently, transporting European

fairy tales, whole, into an Australian setting, seems to be a troubling proposition for

writers in a post-colonial settler society that is highly sensitised to, but still largely in

denial about, its colonial past.
Domniemany traktat Kaspra Drużbickiego SJ "Nauka o przygotowaniu się do świątobliwej śmierci" w zbiorach cysterek trzebnickich
Authors: Sutowicz Anna
Published: July 2021

W dawnych zbiorach opactwa cysterek w Trzebnicy na Śląsku znajdują się trzy rękopiśmienne kopie dzieła ascetycznego Nauka o przygotowaniu się do świątobliwej śmierci. Artykuł stanowi próbę rozwiązania kwestii autorstwa i okoliczności powstania traktatu na podstawie analizy porównawczej kopii będących własnością cysterek oraz wersji zapisanej w rękopisie zdeponowanym w Archiwum Prowincji Południowej Towarzystwa Jezusowego w Krakowie. Wyniki krytyki źródłowej tych zabytków pozwalają na przyjęcie tezy o autorstwie Drużbickiego jako prawdopodobnej. Ujawniają także interesujące dane o związkach śląskiego klasztoru z kulturą Rzeczpospolitej oraz poszerzają wiedzę o twórczym wpływie Towarzystwa Jezuso-wego na kształtowanie oblicza religijności społeczeństwa sarmackiego w XVII wieku.
Historia organów w kościele pw. św. Wojciecha i Matki Bożej Bolesnej w Modlnicy
Authors: Matoga Piotr
Published: July 2021

Przedmiotem artykułu jest historia organów w kościele pw. św. Wojciecha i Matki Bożej Bolesnej w Modlnicy. Tekst oparty jest na rezultatach kwerend archiwalnych, przy czym najwięcej źródeł pochodziło z archiwum parafialnego. Podjęte badania wykazały, że organy w rzeczonej świątyni istniały co najmniej od pierwszej połowy XVIII w. Obecny instrument zbudował w latach 1843–1844 krakowski organmistrz Ignacy Wojciechowski. Organy te były wielokrotnie naprawiane, remontowane i przebudowywane. W 1888 r. renowację przeprowadził syn ichbudowniczego, Tomasz Wojciechowski z Krakowa, natomiast w drugiej połowie XX w. firma Henryka Siedlara z Krakowa rozbudowała instrument o sekcję pedału. Artykuł stanowi przyczynek do historii życia muzycznego w parafii modlnickiej oraz do biografii Ignacego i Tomasza Wojciechowskich.

Skarbce kojarzą się zwykle z miejscami niesamowitymi, tajemniczymi, kryjącymi skarby i pamiątki z przeszłości. Nie zawsze tak jest, ale skarbce klasztorne często spełniają tę definicję. Nie inaczej jest w przypadku skarbca klasztoru kapucynów w Krośnie. Nie jest to skarbiec leciwy, najstarsze zabytki datowane są na XVIII wiek, jednak wydaje się być ciekawym zbiorem artefaktów sztuki złotniczejdedykowanych w większości przypadków zakonowi lub nawet konkretnie klasztorowi kapucynów krośnieńskich. Stąd podjęta w artykule próba skatalogowania zbiorów co może przyczynić się do dalszych prac nad opracowaniem złotnictwa zdeponowanego w krośnieńskim klasztorze.

Pakistan is a less advanced South Asian nation, which is appraised as an underdeveloped nation, its economy is generally in view of horticulture. Pakistan's exports have been on the declining side for as far back as 10 years, particularly in the article of clothing industry, because of its neighbours India and Bangladesh have influenced Pakistan's exports of textile and leather. Then again, exhibition of warfare industry in the form of “IDEAS" has been held after every 2 years throughout the previous 10 years, is helping Pakistan's economy to move from farming to arms and ammo generation. Despite, Pakistan has not done advancement as far as changing over the economy from cultivation to most recent innovation yet at the same time its doing sensibly well in working together with quick advancing nations, for example, China. Therefore, we can state that there's yet far to go to take the exports on a level where proportion of exports is higher than one of imports. Progressive developments should be taken like the quick developing nations whose exports are considerably higher than imports.

Published: July 2021

The Syrian civil war in the subject matter of international concern. This bloodiest war directly hits the main objectives of the United Nations Security Council i.e. maintenance of international peace and security. What is extremely surprising is that the state on whose shoulder lies the maintenance of permanent peace are directly involved in this holocaust. The United State, U.K. and France and other Western countries are parties to this conflict versus Russia, China and other countries. Instead of playing active role for the restoration of peace, these major powers have ripped the chances of peace and ignited the war flames. This study will attempt to find the answers of some of the pertinent questions around which the central theme of this paper revolves. The pertinent questions are for example what are the root causes of this war? Who are belligerents or actors? Who is fighting against whom> who are the main victims of this war? The causes of the internal strife and tensions in the Muslims World will be discussed. The nature of the repercussion of the Arab Spring uprising will highlighted. Another objective of this study is to assess and foretell the consequences of the end of this war. Wars end in the victory of one party or parties and defeat of another party or parties and sometimes however it ends in stalemate. We will try to assess what will be the repercussions of this war in all its ramifications when it ends and how its ends. Our research will focus on the phenomenon of what will be impact on the world, if the main belligerent Bashar Al Assad capitulates or removed from power

The approach to Brexit in the current political dilemma is challengeable for the seekers who want to understand the problem with clarity and perceptibility with the very nature of the European politics. It’s under process of becoming coherent and unprecedented in terms of its consequences. Although the opening and ending of the curtain of the European theatre has always been spectacular for its peoples and to the peoples of nearby continents connected to it by a vicarious cycle and in an extended perspective to the rest of the world, but this time the actors are emerging with a new play with a new set of performances.

The transmitted cultural and nationalistic values, morals and ethics, are truly the essence of any nation which makes them unique and exclusive. The permanence, relevance and practice of cultural traditions, values and mores, are social ideals that have existed for centuries are passed down to every generation. They are one of the very few things that have stood the test of time. Language is the backbone of all cultures. It is the most distinguished skill, a present and an art presented to an individual by society. We sense, impart, express, pass on, dream, and manage our day by day lives, with the guide of words that are fathomable and important to us. The skeleton of culture is deficient and can't get by without the solid help of language because of the unavoidable, uncontrollable and massive flow of foreign cultures as a result of Cultural globalization are considered as the most vital reason that is diminishing the importance of local culture and local languages.

Authors: Muhammad Nabeel Ashraf, Prof. Dr. Syed Shabib-ul-Hassan
Published: July 2021

Hamdard University is one of the biggest private sector universities in Pakistan. It is a not-for-profit organization whose objective is to serve people of Pakistan with excellent education system while taking care external factors into consideration, as a part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), especially the environment which is a key concern due to the climate change. This research paper focusses on measuring the carbon footprint or performing the carbon accounting of Hamdard University and to measure its share in climate change. Primary data, which is necessary to measure carbon footprint, have been taken by direct reporting and site surveys. Methodology and secondary data regarding the emission factors have been taken from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, World Resources Institute, Word Bank, Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The carbon footprint of Hamdard University is 1786.2019 tonnes of CO2-e in 2018 which is 0.000547% of Pakistan 2014’s total GHG emission. Scope 1 emission constitutes 54.14% of total GHG emission which is mostly caused by the fuel combustion by varsity’s transport followed by scope 2 emission caused by purchased electricity which constitutes 45.32% of GHG total emission. Scope 3 emission is because of official air travel which is not significant, hence, constitutes 0.54% of total GHG emission.
Unique definition of relative speed along the line of sight of a luminous object in a Riemannian space-time
Authors: Ter-Kazarian G.
Published: July 2021

Using a way of separating the spectral shifts into infinitesimally displaced `relative´ spectral bins and sum over them, we overcome the ambiguity of the parallel transport of four-velocity, in order to give an unique definition of the so-called kinetic relative velocity of luminous source as measured along the observer’s line-of-sight in a generic pseudo-Riemannian space-time. The ubiquitous relationship between the spectral shift and the kinetic relative velocity is utterly distinct from a familiar global Doppler shift rule (Synge, 1960). Such a performance of having found a kinetic relative velocity of luminous source, without subjecting it to a parallel transport, manifests its virtue in particular case when adjacent observers are being in free fall and populated along the null geodesic, so that it is reduced to a global Doppler velocity as studied by Synge. We discuss the implications for the instructive case of spatially homogeneous and isotropic Robertson-Walker space-time, which leads to cosmological consequences that the resulting kinetic recession velocity of a galaxy is always subluminal even for large redshifts of order one or more, and thus, it does not violate the fundamental physical principle of causality.

Macroeconomic Determinants of External Debt Accumulation in Ethiopia: An ARDL Bound Testing Approach
Authors: Mulugeta Eyayu Tesfaye
Published: July 2021

This study attempts to explore the major macroeconomic determinants of external debt stock growth in Ethiopia prompted by a continuous increase in government external borrowing over the period 1981-2018. For this purpose, the study employed the ARDL bound testing approach and all the necessary time series diagnostic tests were conducted. The long run model estimation result revealed that per capita GDP growth has a positive and significant effect on the country’s external debt stock. The result also revealed that the budget deficit and political instability put a significant upward pressure on the external debt stock growth of the country both in the short run and long run. Consistent with some existing empirical evidence, the study revealed negative and significant influence of openness and infrastructure development on the external debt stock growth. Consequently, the government should embark on prudent borrowing to achieve structural transformation.
Theoretical Issues in Human Resources Management: From Taylorism to Theory Z
Authors: M.P. Badom , B.W. Girigiri
Published: July 2021

The human resources of any given organisation are the greatest assets that should be managed in order to attain desired performance goals. Thus, human resources management is the bedrock of all management activities in any formal work setting. In the bid to achieve organizational goals, there is need to manage the human resources with established knowledge which scientifically related methods yield. This is termed human resources management theory which is a system of interconnected propositions that condenses and organizes the knowledge about the social world, nay work organizations and explains the workings of the work organizations. Secondary data were garnered to elicit information for the analysis of the paper which presents relevant theories of industrial organizations and critically analysed them so as to acquaint us with the knowledge and effectiveness of the theories. This is essentially a metatheoretical schema for theories adopted in the motivation of human resources in order to attain deeper understanding of theories of human resources management.

The role of NO system in low back pain chronicity
Authors: Trefilova V. V. , Shnayder N. A. , Popova T. E. , Balberova O. V. , Nasyrova R. F.
Published: July 2021

Low back pain (LBP) is an important interdisciplinary medical problem, in the development of which various molecular genetics, pathomorphological and pathobiomechanical mechanisms play a role. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), facet joints arthrosis and myofascial syndrome are the most important pathological processes associated with chronic lower back pain in adults. The nitric oxide (NO) system may play one of the key roles in the development of LBP and its chronicity. (1): Background: The review of publications which are devoted to changes in the NO system in patients with LBP. (2): Materials: We have carried out a search for Russian-language and English-language full-text articles published in e-Library, PubMed, Oxford Press, Clinical Case, Springer, Elsevier, Google Scholar databases. The search was carried out using keywords and their combinations. The search depth was 10 years (2011-2021). (3): Results: Role of NO and various NOsynthase (NOS) isoforms in LBP process demonstrated primarily from animal models to humans. The most studied are the neuronal NOS (nNOS). The role of inducible nose (iNOS) and endothelial (eNOS) - continues to be studied. Associative genetic studies have shown that single nucleotide variants (SNV) of genes encoding all three NOS isoforms (nNOS, NOS1 gene; iNOS, NOS2 gene; eNOS, NOS3 gene) may be associated with chronic LBP. Prospects for the use of NOS inhibitors to modulate the effect of drugs used to treat back pain are discussed. (4): Conclusion: Associative genetic studies of SNV NOS1, NOS2, NOS3 genes are important for understanding genetic predictors of LBP chronicity and development of new personalized pharmacotherapy strategies.

Primary headaches are common neurological problem in the world. Migraine (M) and tension type headache (TTH) are the leaders in the structure of primary headaches in the population; (1) Background: The study of the association of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of MTHFR (meth-ylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) and HTR2C (5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 2C) genes with M and TTH development in the European population in Siberia (Russia); (2) Methods: 192 adults were examined: 82 (42.7%) males and 110 (57.3%) females. Control group: 81 healthy adults, median age 49.5 [36; 59] years; 53 (66.7%) males and 27 (33.3%) females. Headache group consisted of 111 patients with primary headache, median age 54 [45; 64] years, including two subgroups: subgroup 1 (M) of 39 patients; subgroup 2 (TTH) of 72 patients. Carriage of alleles and genotypes rs1801133 and rs1801131 of the MTHFR gene and rs6318 of the HTR2C gene was determined using PCR-RT by TaqMan allelic discrimination technology; (3) Results: A statistically significant association of the carriage of the A allele rs1801133 of the MTHFR gene with the formation of M (p = 0.025) and TTH (p = 0.022), as well as the GA genotype with the development of TTH (p = 0.024) was revealed. Carriage of the G allele and the TG and GG genotypes of the MTHFR gene, associated with a decreased activity of the MTHFR enzyme, does not affect the development of primary headache. A statistically significant association was revealed between the carriage of the heterozygous GC genotype (rs6318) of the HTR2C gene and the formation of M (p = 0.013); (4) Conclusions: Carriage of the A allele (OR 1.77; 95% CI 1.09-2.89) and the GA genotype (OR 2.24; 95% CI 1.17-4.29) rs1801133 of the MTHFR gene is a risk factor for the development of TTH (p <0.05). Carriage of the A allele rs1801133 of the MTHFR gene is a risk factor for the development of M (OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.08-3.57; p <0.05). Carriage of the variant G allele and rs1801131 GT and GG genotypes associated with reduced activity of the MTHFR enzyme does not affect the development of primary headache. In the control group, the prevalence of the T allele associated with normal enzymatic activity was noted (p = 0.024). Carriage of the heterozygous genotype CG SNV rs6318 of the HTR2C gene increases the risk of developing migraine by 3.6 times.

Podemos decir que desde que las revoluciones industriales ocurrieron, las sociedades, en su mayoría occidentales, fueron las que ganaron la lotería económica, pues la calidad de vida de estos países aumentó de manera considerable. Pero por efecto rebote la discrepancia y envidia entre naciones se evidenciaron. Solemos creer que son solo las ideologías las que generan polarización, pero vivir en un mundo de contrastes y desigualdades aumenta el recelo y los discursos de odio. Desafortunadamente, la tecnología está sirviendo como megáfono para dividir al mundo y acentuar aún más esas tensiones geopolíticas y sociales.
Australians who view live streaming of child sexual abuse: An analysis of financial transactions
Authors: Brown Rick , Napier Sarah
Published: July 2021

In recent years, there has been growing evidence of live streaming technologies being used to facilitate child sexual abuse (CSA). This study examined a sample of financial transactions made by a cohort of Australians who provided funds to known facilitators of CSA live streaming in the Philippines. The results showed that these individuals were likely to be aged in their 50s or 60s and the majority (55%) had no criminal record. Ten percent had a sexual offence recorded in their criminal history. Most CSA live streaming transactions involved a small proportion of individuals. Just three percent accounted for half of all transactions. In contrast, 25 percent of individuals made just three percent of transactions.As individuals purchased more CSA live streaming transactions, the median amounts they paid increased and the transactions became more frequent. These two variables were significantly correlated. This may reflect an escalation in the frequency and severity of offending.

Introducción: no es mucho lo que se sabe sobre la capacidad de redacción de los alumnos con discapacidad visual, y las investigaciones al respecto se limitan, con frecuencia, a subgrupos de la población o a aptitudes menores. Es preciso un enfoque más amplio de las investigaciones sobre las habilidades de expresión escrita de los estudiantes que tienen discapacidad visual. Métodos: los investigadores recurrieron a un diseño transversal para examinar la capacidad de escritura de estudiantes con discapacidad visual del estado de Nebraska, intentando incluir tantos participantes como fuera posible entre los 4 y 21 años de edad. Se contó con la participación de cincuenta alumnos. Todos ellos realizaron la subprueba de Redacción de Ensayos de la Prueba Wechsler de Rendimiento Individual en su tercera edición, con instrucciones modificadas. Las redacciones se puntuaron teniendo en cuenta el número de palabras, los distintos elementos de que consta la redacción y los aspectos mecánicos. Se proporcionan estadísticas descriptivas, así como comparaciones estadísticas de los grupos. Resultados: las puntuaciones medias de la muestra general y de los subgrupos se situaron en el rango promedio al compararse con las muestras normativas (representativas de la población). No se observaron diferencias estadísticas entre estudiantes ciegos y estudiantes con baja visión, y tampoco hubo diferencias estadísticas relativas al método de escritura. Sí se produjeron diferencias estadísticas entre estudiantes con discapacidades múltiples y el resto de los alumnos. Los resultados sugieren que existe una heterogeneidad significativa en la muestra. Análisis: los resultados indican que algunos estudiantes con discapacidades visuales escriben tan bien como sus compañeros videntes. Estos resultados se ven complicados por la heterogeneidad de las muestras y no indican nada sobre la capacidad de escribir de alumnos individuales. Implicaciones para los profesionales: los profesores deben evitar hacer suposiciones de tipo general sobre el potencial de escritura de alumnos concretos. Los alumnos con discapacidades visuales participantes en el estudio obtuvieron una puntuación comparable a una muestra normativa, y los alumnos con discapacidades múltiples podrían ser capaces de participar en actividades de escritura de diversas maneras.
Biographer’s Gold
Authors: Dorsey Sarah B.
Published: July 2021

Although maligned through the ages, the art of biography generously bestows normally unavailable insights into the lives of others. Even while based on archival documents, biographies contain the bias of the author. That said, the inevitable inequity of the relationship between Louise Talma and Thornton Wilder is portrayed in their correspondence; but so too is Wilder’s careful and compassionate encouragement of Talma, who worked for years on her magnum opus, an adaptation of Wilder’s play The Alcestiad as an opera, while also holding down a teaching job at Hunter College (though she had many sabbaticals and breaks). The delight of these two creative artists in their shared craft—and also in each other—is just one of the gifts apparent in their correspondence. This is not to say that there were no complications, but this article about the letters they exchanged reveals the gold biographers crave.

Objective: Compare effect of two prophylactic protocols on prevention of biology complications and on bone resorption, before and three-month post-surgery of oral implants. Method: Clinical, observational, longitudinal study. Approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. The sample 29 patients signed the informed consent to participate in this study were distributed into two groups: Group 1: with oral mucosa smears culture and antibiogram to select effective prophylaxis antimicrobial and therapy. Urinary levels deoxypyridinoline (DPD). Bone height measured before and three months after oral implant surgery. Group 2: Amoxicillin prophylaxis, bone heights before and three months after oral implant surgery. The two groups underwent clinical examination 8 and 30 days after surgery to assess early complications. Results: The average age for both sexes in both groups; (women 53.53 year; men 54.58 year). Group 1: 17 patients: 6 male patients (35.3%) and 11 female patients (65.7%). Bacterium identified: Streptococcus anginosus (8 patients), Porphyromonas gingivalis (5 patients) and Prevotella intermedia (4 patients). Antibiotics prescribed according to degree of sensitivity: Amoxicillin, Clindamycin, and Cephalexin and Cephadroxyl 30 minutes before surgery. Urinary DPD Female 8.82 nM DPD/mM, and male 5.53 nM DPD/mM .The prevalence of infection related complications during 30 days after surgery was 0%.Group 2:6 male patients and 6 female patients Prophylaxis Amoxicillin (2 g) 30 minutes before surgery. Bone height reabsorption during the three months of observation was 1.693 mm (p >0.05). The prevalence of infection related complications during 30 days after surgery was 50%. The difference between groups for frequency of complications was significant (p = 0.0003). Bone height difference between groups was not significant. Conclusion: The use of antibiotic prophylactic protocol based on the oral mucosa smears and antibiogram to select effective antimicrobial, prevents the presence of early biology complications and reduces bone resorption.
The Great Convergence: How the Italian Far Right and COVID Deniers Tried to Seize the Momentum
Authors: Savino Giovanni
Published: July 2021

This article explores how the pandemic crisis resulted in a confluence of neo-fascist groups such as Forza Nuova and CasaPound, national-populist parties such as Lega and Brothers of Italy, the Orange Vests of former General Pappalardo and COVID-19 deniers. Since March 2020, the Italian far right has consciously based its strategy on spreading conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and opposing any type of restrictive measures, from the lockdown to mask mandates and vaccination. The attempts to build a mass anti-vaccine movement permeated with neo-fascist influences may have stalled, but it would be mistaken to think that the battle has been lost: the impact of COVID deniers on the political landscape goes beyond poll results. The contemporary ideological fluidity favors mainstreaming negationist slogans, for instance through the unexpected overlap between the far right and New Age culture. The real struggle is conducted in the field of ideas and cultural hegemony, where a profound illiberal, anti-scientific, and conspiracy sentiment continues to gain support in Italy thanks to the overlap between neo-fascists, national-populists, and COVID deniers.

The objective of this investigation was the determination of therapeutic adherence in patients with chronic diseases of theclub of older adults of a primary care center in Riobamba-Ecuador, for which 25 patients participated with prior informedconsent. An indirect subjective method was used, based on a questionnaire aimed at determining the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients, degree of therapeutic adherence through the Morisky Green test and possible influencingfactors on adherence, considered the 4 main dimensions established by the WHO.SPSS-PC 24.5 for Windows and significance levels of 0.05 % were used for results analysis. The results showed a predo-minance of female gender (80 %), an average age of 70.2 years and a degree of primary education in 60 % of thepatients. It was identified that 56 % of the patients suffered from at least two chronic diseases, with hypertension beingthe most prevalent (84 %); and 64 % of them administered 2 to 3 medications daily. It was determined that 64 % ofolder adults were inadherent with the prescribed therapeutic scheme, finding that socioeconomic factors had a total impacton the study patients. Factors related to the health team, therapy, and those inherent to the patient, influenced therapeuticadherence in a lesser proportion. The economic insufficiency to pay for the medications and the high-cost diets prescribed,turned out to be the variable with the greatest impact on therapeutic non-adherence, finding a direct relationship withthe degree of primary education that the study patients had mostly. In addition, all the variables reported in the study ascauses of non-adherence to treatment require directing actions aimed at strengthening a health system based on healthpromotion and prevention, in order to increase the quality of life of patients.

Introduction. The water of aquatic ecosystems considered extreme, given the values of its physicochemical and chemical parameters, such as high concentrations of salts, oligotrophic environments, extreme pH, high radiation and extreme temperatures, there is a bacterial population that has adapted to these conditions and that they can be an important reservoir of natural resistomes.
Objective. The objective of the present work was to know the profiles of susceptibility to various antibiotics in strains of the Bacillus genus isolated from mineromedicinal water spas and water from a volcanic crater lake in Ecuador.
Materials and methods. A total of 16 mineromedicinal water samples and 32 samples of crater volcanic lake water were analyzed. The isolation of the Bacillus colonies was carried out by the membrane filtration technique, using Millipore filters of 0.45 μm pore, a sample volume of 100 mL and R2A agar. The isolated strains were identified following the schemes of MacFaddin (2004), complemented with the biochemical tests of the Microgen galleries for Bacillus. The antibiotic resistance profile was determined by the plate diffusion method of Kirby and Bauer (1966), interpreted according to the CLSI (2019).
Results. 19 Bacillus strains were identified. Most of the strains were resistant and multi-resistant to the antibiotic clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, oxacillin, and penicillin. Conclusions. The results indicate the presence of Bacillus species and resistomes associated with this genus in the water of extreme natural environments in Ecuador, which suggests that these environments may be an important reservoir of bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
EXTENDED-RELEASE DELIVERY SYSTEMS OF OPIOIDS: ANALGESIA AND DEPENDENCE
Authors: Pérez-López Alexandre , Gómez-Lázaro Laura , Martín-Sabroso Cristina , Aparicio-Blanco Juan
Published: July 2021

The consumption of opioid analgesics has increased drastically in the last decades worldwide. This high consumption is linked with a surge in the number of opioid prescriptions for the treatment of chronic pain and a surge in opioid misuse and addiction. Opioid analgesics have a short duration of action, making necessary frequent administrations to provide extended analgesia. The use of prolonged-release formulations enables dosing intervals to be spaced out and drug blood levels to be stabilized, improving therapeutic compliance, and reducing the likelihood of developing addiction. However, these formulations contain higher doses of opioid analgesics which make them more susceptible to be manipulated. Hence, the most recent advances in pharmaceutical technology have been oriented towards the application of abuse deterrent technologies aiming to prevent their administration through alternative routes. Moreover, prolonged- release systems also play an essential role in the treatment of opioid addictions with the development of parenteral dosage forms capable of prolonging opioid release for months that help overcome one of the most important drawbacks in achieving treatment success, namely, patient compliance. We review herein the different prolonged-release opioid dosage forms currently approved in Europe and/or the United States for the treatment of pain and opioid dependence.

SQUALENE, A VIBRANT MOLECULE DESPITE ITS ONE-HUNDRED-FIVE-YEAR OLD DISCOVERY
Authors: de la Osada García Jesús
Published: July 2021

Squalene is a hydrocarbon intermediary involved in the biosynthesis of phytosterols and terpenes in plants and of cholesterol in animals. Its discovery backs to 1916. Recent research on biological effects has shown this compound to display antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic properties. When animals accumulate in the liver, this fatty liver does not influence their longevity, but influences both gene expression networks and post-transcriptional protein levels. Combination of squalene with other biological compounds is an open aspect to develop functional food to control oxidative stress and aging in human and veterinary medicine.
Its current use in cosmetics or as vaccine adjuvant makes of it a coveted molecule. Traditionally, sharps have been its source. However, the impact of their capture for this purpose is unsustainable and the search for new sources is highly required. The quest for those in order to reach the demand poses new technological challenges.
