Objective: To
estimate difference in population-level glycemic control and the emergence of
diabetes complications given a theoretical scenario whereby non-White youth and
young adults (YYA) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) receive and follow an equivalent
distribution of diabetes treatment regimens as non-Hispanic White YYA.

Research Design and Methods: Longitudinal
data from YYA diagnosed 2002-2005 in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study were analyzed. Based
on self-reported race/ethnicity, YYA were classified as non-White race or
Hispanic ethnicity (non-White subgroup) versus non-Hispanic White race (White
subgroup). In the White versus non-White subgroups, propensity
scores model estimated treatment regimens, including patterns of insulin
modality, self-monitored glucose frequency, and continuous glucose monitoring
use. An analysis based on policy evaluation technique in reinforcement
learning estimated the effect of each treatment regimen on hemoglobin A1c
(HbA1c) and diabetes complications for non-White YYA.

Results:
The study included n=978 YYA. The sample was 47.5% female
and77.5% non-Hispanic White, with mean age 12.8±2.4 years at diagnosis. The estimated population
mean of longitudinal average HbA1c over visits was 9.2% and 8.2% for the non-White
and White subgroup, respectively (difference=0.9%). Within the non-White
subgroup, mean HbA1c across visits was estimated to decrease by 0.33% (95%CI: -0.45%, -0.21%) if these YYA received
the distribution of diabetes treatment regimens of the White subgroup,
explaining approximately 35% of the estimated difference between the two
subgroups. The non-White subgroup was
also estimated to have a lower risk of developing diabetic retinopathy,
diabetic kidney disease, and peripheral neuropathy with the White youth
treatment regimen distribution (p<0.05), although the low proportion of YYA
who developed complications limited statistical power for risk estimations.

Conclusions:
Mathematically
modeling an equalized distribution of T1D self-management tools and technology
accounted for part but not all disparities in glycemic control between non-White
and White YYA, underscoring the complexity of race/ethnicity-based health
inequity.
Analysis of the physiological mechanisms underlying the biological activity of sargassum fusiforme fucoidan to alleviate insulin resistance
Authors:   , Zhang Ya
Published: November 2021

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from progressive loss of β-cell insulin secretion frequently on the background of insulin resistance. T2DM, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, accounts for more than 90% of all cases of diabetes. Insulin resistance (IR) refers to the reduced sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin and is one of the important triggers of type 2 diabetes. Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharide exhibits diverse biological activities, and more and more studies have shown it has a significant effect in improving insulin resistance with almost no side effects. Sargassum fusiforme fucoidan (SFF) is one of the main active components with active ingredients such as antioxidants and hypoglycemic lipids. However, the ameliorative effects of SFF on high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance mice and its underlying physiological mechanisms are not clear. Hence, the polysaccharides were extracted and purified from Sargassum fusiforme, and fucoidan (SFF), which has good antioxidant activity, was screened using a drosophila melanogaster aging model. The effect of SFF on the amelioration of insulin resistance in mice was investigated with a high-fat obese insulin resistance mice model. By gut microbiota and metabolomics techniques, the effect of SFF on intestinal metabolites and its mechanism of alleviate IR were investigated. After treatment with 200 mg/kg SFF for 8 weeks, it was found that SFF could reduce body weight, fasting blood glucose and homa-IR in insulin resistance mice. SFF could effectively activate Nrf2/ARE antioxidant signaling pathway in the liver and promote Nrf2 entry into the nucleus and downstream gene transcription. Metabolomics and intestinal microecology revealed that SFF could upregulate TUDCA level and downregulate ceramide level in mice colon and serum, and this change was dependent on gut microbiota. TUDCA effectively inhibits the FXR/SHP signaling pathway activated by a high-fat diet, thereby reducing the biosynthesis of enteric-derived ceramides. In addition, TUDCA in the liver could compete with Nrf2 to bind Keap1 to reduce the formation of the Nrf2/Keap1 complex, reduce Nrf2 ubiquitination, and thus contribute to Nrf2/ARE signaling activation. In conclusion, fucoidan from S. fusiforme was able to modulate gut microbiota, increased the levels of the intestinal metabolite TUDCA, reduced biosynthesis of entericderived ceramides and activated the Nrf2/ARE pathway, which in turn significantly improved insulin resistance induced by high-fat diet in mice. This study provides a new research idea for the study of brown algae fucoidan in metabolic diseases.

Covid-19 has sojourned the world as we know then into a cessation. It affects various disciplinary fields to a standstill which includes art and tourism. In Malaysia, to adapt to the global pandemic; new opportunities have emerged and dealt with it no longer becomes optional but rather a solution. Therefore, this research is mainly focused on implementing virtual tours to cope with the new norms; and evaluates its implication specifically in showcasing art exhibitions. The researcher uses the concept of Google Street View to capture virtual spaces; combining with Pano2Vr software as constructing tools; for audiences to interact and discusses its usefulness based on their ease of accessibility. Through the usage of this software, the researcher was able to reconstruct the actual gallery into series of interconnected images that trajectories within a web hosting server which are accessible over various platforms. The researcher purposely uses 360 panoramic images to maintain the ingenuity and actuality of the exhibition surroundings; due to most audiences are more complacent to the practicality compared to 3D digital replication. The advantages and disadvantages of this particular application of Virtual Tours (VTs) are then assessed through data collected based on the accessed devices, accessed locations, and total participation to see whether this concept can be used as a new alternative tool in showcasing art exhibitions in the effort of avoiding the pandemic widespread while still keeping the art activity at a sensible pace.

Authors: Milan Lucas Matozo , Del Borgo Gabriel Martins , Rojo Jeferson Roberto
Published: November 2021

Mesmo com uma produção acadêmica voltada a sua aplicação dentro da escola, os estudos apontam que o atletismo ainda é subutilizado. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar artigos relacionados ao ensino e as possíveis adaptações de materiais no atletismo escolar, assim como as problemáticas e aplicações desse conteúdo. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa a partir de 25 fontes. Com a leitura das fontes, dividiu-se os temas em 3 categorias centrais: Limitações e Problemáticas no Ensino, Possibilidades no Ensino do Atletismo e Possíveis Adaptações Materiais. Por fim, concluiu-se que há questionamento dos autores sobre as limitações presentes nas escolas, assim como procuram entender e analisar porque as limitações se fazem presentes no âmbito escolar, contudo observou-se que o ensino do atletismo nas escolas pode ser realizado a partir de diferentes abordagens, além de que é possível realizar adaptações físicas e materiais para trabalhar com as provas do atletismo no contexto da Educação Física escolar.

O ano de 2020 é marcado pela pandemia Covid-19, fato que impactou várias formas de vida. Ou seja, o distanciamento social era duas formas de enfrentar uma pandemia, fazendo como as salas de aula estão presentes no Brasil, migrando para o modelo de ensino remoto. Nessa realidade, este estudo, considerado remoto no contexto social, polí­tico e econômico brasileiro, visa problematizar ou ensinar professores de Educação Fí­sica Escolar a partir do contexto de salas de aula remotas no Brasil, com o foco de não trabalhar com aquelas consideradas inclusivas. Estudo exploratório qualitativo, que realizou entrevistas com professores de Educação Fí­sica. Fiz 116 entrevistas, por meio de questionário elaborado na plataforma Google .Um suporte ou contribuição da pesquisa pós-estruturalista para pensar a Educação, apoiada pelo governo e pela docência. Partindo da análise de dois pontos traçados para discutir: as práticas trabalhadas na Educação Fí­sica com inclusão não remota e a ideia de crise em uma Educação Fí­sica inclusiva. Nesse sentido, argumenta-se que na ausência de contato como aluno na escola e nas desigualdades ou no contexto social e econômico brasileiro, podemos provocar práticas de exclusão e contribuir como corpo docente.
Dictionary Representation of Linguocultural Stereotypes: Communicative Behavior of Russians in Thematic Dictionary of Proverbs
Authors: Nikitina T. G. , Rogaleva E. I. , Piao Lixiang
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the problem of optimization of the dictionary description of the stereotypes of the Russian linguoculture, reflected by linguistic units, which is relevant for Russian cultural linguistics and lexicography. The possibilities of solving this problem are shown with a thematic vocabulary systematization of proverbs regulating the communicative behavior of Russians. A review of modern linguoculturological and linguoaxiological studies of paremias reflecting communicative behavior in their projection onto lexicographic practice is carried out. The development of the ideas of paremiographers of the 19th century in modern concepts of thematic dictionaries is shown, special attention is paid to the rubrication of sections and methods of commenting on proverbs of speech-behavioral topics. The author’s version of the classification of proverbial material reflecting the communicative behavior of Russians is given, the expediency of the dispersed arrangement of paremias in the headings representing speech genres and features of communication in certain socio-cultural spheres is substantiated. In accordance with this concept, the system of linguoaxiological parameterization of proverbs, developed by the authors earlier, has been modified. Samples of dictionary macrostates representing the axiologems of the speech-behavioral sphere are given; proverbial material of Internet communication that has not been reflected in dictionaries at the moment is used. The possibilities of using the proposed linguoaxiological parameterization of the material in the bilingual thematic dictionary of proverbs are shown.
Explication of Concept THOUGHT in Epic Formulas Olonkho “Ala Bulkun” T. V. Zakharova-Chebiy
Authors: Borisov Yu. P.
Published: November 2021

A study of epic formulas that explicate variations of the concept THOUGHT in the olonkho text of the narrator T. V. Zakharova-Chebiy “Ala Bulkun”, which refers to the early (pre-revolutionary) records of the Yakut epic, is carried out. The results of a conceptual analysis of variations of the concept THOUGHT, which, according to the author's observations, are formed during the functioning of the lexemes sanaa ‘thought’ (39 formulas) and tolkuy ‘thought, idea, consideration, reflection’ (7 formulas), taking into account the general context of epic formulas are presented in the article. It has been established that the concept THOUGHT, as a prototype that reveals the greatest number of characteristics, underlies the formation of the following concept-variations derived from it: ANGRY THOUGHTS, BOLD THOUGHTS, REFLECTION, INTENTION, LIGHTNESS, BAD THOUGHTS, HEAVY THOUGHTS, HURRY THOUGHTS and THOUGHTS ABOUT LOVE. It has been established that conceptual information can also come from the general context of an epic formula without a representative lexeme. It was revealed that the studied concepts carry an axiological load and serve to reveal the images of epic characters. According to the author, the estimated value of the concepts under consideration, in addition to the cognitive function itself, is also one of the factors contributing to the stability of the epic formula.
Mythopoetic Worldview of Bunin: Linguistic and Literary and Cultural Analysis Aspects
Authors: Borodina N. A. , Selemeneva O. A. , Trubitsina N. A.
Published: November 2021

The results of the analysis of semantic groups of mythonyms of the poetic heritage of I. A. Bunin as means of explication of various historical-informational and cultural-symbolic worldview meanings are presented in the article. The relevance of the work is due to the interest of literary onomastics in identifying units of the onomastic code of artistic and aesthetic systems of various domestic and foreign writers. The novelty of the work is associated with the inclusion of lexical units with different ratios of the nominated image and denotation into the Bunin mythonymicon, with the synthesis of linguistic and literary-cultural approaches in characterizing each of the selected lexical units. The twelve described semantic groups of mythological names are organized in the form of a field with a core and peripheral parts. For each group, the features of contextual use are noted. The authors come to the conclusion that in the Bunin picture of the world, mythonyms of various semantics perform text-forming and meaning-forming functions. They not only represent archetypal images (Fire, Bottom, Feminine, Garden, etc.), axiological oppositions (light — darkness, good — evil, etc.), key ideas, themes and motives (the idea of being still, themes of love, death, motives of temptation, resurrection, dreams, etc.), historiosophical concepts (moral choice and fortitude), but also participate in the creation of an individual author’s myth.
“Genuine Anecdotes about Peter the Great” by J. Shtelin (at the Origins of Historical Anecdote Genre in Russia)
Authors: Krotov P. A.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the collection of historical anecdotes about Peter the Great by J. Shtelin (1709—1785), first published in 1785 in German in Leipzig. It is proved that historical anecdotes (about Peter the Great) as a genre of literature appeared in Russia in the second half of the 1730s. According to the author, they appeared on the basis of the stories about Peter the Great that were widespread in society. It is reported that the first collection of historical anecdotes about Peter the Great created by Jakob Shtelin is a collection of 34 anecdotes from 1744. It is noted that later on he created collections of 95, 110 and 117 anecdotes. The study has shown that Shtelin's historical anecdotes are the result of a deep literary reworking of the messages and legends he heard. It is revealed that Jakob Shtelin worked on the transformation of the sketches written by him, based on the oral stories he heard, into historical anecdotes for over 40 years. It is argued that as a result, the publication of his historical anecdotes in 1785 was a resounding success in Europe, including Russia, and marked the beginning of the flourishing of this genre in Russia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Eunuchs of Yakutsk Region on Pages of Regional Periodicals in Late 19th — Early 20th Centuries
Authors: Matyushchenko V. S. , Yakusheva R. A.
Published: November 2021

The materials of pre-revolutionary periodicals of Yakutia of the late 19th — early 20th centuries, containing information about the life of sectarian Eunuchs in the region are analyzed in the article. The reference to these sources is necessary in order to reconstruct the history of the scavenger in connection with the current interest in modern science in the publications of the regional print press, which were not previously taken into account by the researchers. The novelty of the research lies in the replenishment of knowledge of the history of skopstvo in Yakutia due to the introduction of new historical sources into scientific circulation. An analysis of the materials of the Yakut press allows us to conclude that the role of Eunuchs in the development of arable and truck farming in Yakutia remained an urgent topic years after their release from exile. The authors pay special attention to the coverage of the everyday side of skopic life on the pages of periodicals. The similarity of news stories about sectarians form a stable idea of the relationship of Eunuchs with the local population, lifestyle and models of behavior in the Yakut reality of the late 19th — 20th centuries.
Language of Space in Live of Saint Erasmus
Authors: Ilyin B. B.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the consideration of the category of space in the Old Russian text. The text of the live of Erasmus was used for analysis.  The novelty of the work lies in the reference to the text of the monument, in which the category of space was not previously considered.  The research is based on nominative vocabulary with spatial meaning. In the course of consideration, various types of spaces in the live were identified: real-geographical, urban, sacred, biblical, symbolic. The axiological attitude of the genre becomes important for understanding space in live: space is interpreted in a religious-symbolic way. It is showed in the article that the living space is built horizontally and vertically. It is emphasized that the horizontal movement of the hero reflects the movement of the hero in the geographic space. The path is understood both literally and metaphorically. Particular attention is paid to the opposition of the top and bottom that is significant for the text of the live: the top is associated with the divine, the bottom is associated with the concept of the devil. It shows how the biblical space is created by references to the biblical text. The symbolic space is also associated with vertical opposition and has a religious and ethical interpretation: the image of the city of the saint appears, intended for the righteous. The axiological attitude is also reflected in the transformation of space or its overcoming when describing some miracles in the text.
“Dictionary-Encyclopedia” as a Type of Amateur Dialect Dictionary (Dictionary of Bakal Town Dialect by B. P. Plaksin)
Authors: Bondarenko E. D.
Published: November 2021

A comprehensive description of one of the types of amateur dialect dictionaries, namely the “dictionary-encyclopedia”, is carried out. As a material for the analysis, a dictionary of the dialect of the Bakal town of the Chelyabinsk region, compiled by Boris Petrovich Plaksin (the volume of the dictionary is about 4000 words) was selected. The results of the analysis of the thematic, stylistic belonging of the vocabulary constituting the vocabulary of Plaksin’s dictionary are presented. It is shown that a significant part of the dictionary is made up of dialectal linguistic facts (as well as common and colloquial vocabulary and phraseology, which the author qualifies as local) of the thematic groups “Rural life”, “Economy”, “Human characteristics”, “Professional activities”, etc. It is emphasized that a vast layer of dialectal and national facts given in the dictionary is the vocabulary and phraseology of traditional folk culture, church terminology and vocabulary of the Old Believers, as well as designations of the realities of various historical eras. It is concluded that B. P. Plaksin chooses a strategy of value-historical selection of vocabulary and includes in his dictionary the vocabulary of various cultural and historical layers, focusing on the various sources available to him on Russian history, traditional rituals, historical facts, etc.
Fiscal Sustainability Hypothesis Test in Central and Eastern Europe: A Panel Data Perspective
Authors: Owusu Benjamin
Published: November 2021

This paper assesses the fiscal sustainability hypothesis for 10 Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) between 1997 and 2019. The study adopts very recent panel econometric techniques which accounts for issues of structural breaks and cross-sectional dependence in the data generating process to examine the cointegration between government revenue and expenditures. Preliminary results show that revenues and expenditures do not have a long-run relationship and hence a rejection of the sustainability hypothesis. As a next step, we discriminate between structural and cyclical components of revenues and expenditures in order to place emphasis on the structural component. We argue that the structural component of fiscal variables represents the actual long term behaviour of the policymaker. Further results indicate that structural revenues and expenditures have a long-run relationship however with a slope coefficient less than unity which implies sustainability in the weaker sense. At that point, expenditures exceed revenues and if this continues for a long time the government may find it difficult to market its debts in the long run. This result suggests that the fiscal authorities in CEEC must therefore do more by taking long term actions to counteract the rising fiscal deficit problems.

Rethinking College Student Development Theory Using Critical Frameworks
Authors: Luutran Valerie
Published: November 2021

Within orientation, transition, and retention (OTR) and the broader scope of the student affairs profession, we collectively value practice informed by theory and research. However, despite it being nearly 100 years since our seminal text, The Student Personnel Point of View (American Council on Education, 1937), was published, we rarely take time to revisit and critique the theories informing our work. In Rethinking College Student Development Theory Using Critical Frameworks, Elisa S. Abes, Susan R. Jones, and D-L Stewart do just that by directing the work toward practitioners and avoiding the frequently inaccessible academic jargon associated with theory.

A CID-11 não reconhecerá possibilidades de patologização da homossexualidade
Authors: Diehl Alessandra , Vieira Denise Leite , Mari Jair de Jesus
Published: November 2021

A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) está em processo de revisão da Classificação Internacional de Doenças e dos Problemas Relacionados à Saúde, atualmente na sua 10ª versão (CID-10). Várias mudanças vêm sendo propostas para as condições relacionadas à sexualidade e à saúde sexual, sendo que uma delas é a total eliminação de todas as categorias do código F66 (transtornos psicológicos e comportamentais associados ao desenvolvimento sexual e à sua orientação) existentes na CID-10. Isso porque se acredita que a atual versão tende a patologizar uma resposta normal do desenvolvimento e gerar mais estigma, discriminação social e possíveis idiossincrasias terapêuticas. Soma-se a isso o fato de que nenhuma dessas categorias apresentou relevância ou utilidade clínica. O objetivo deste artigo é proporcionar atualização sobre essa proposta de revisão para a CID-11 dentro do contexto da compreensão científica atual sobre a orientação sexual humana.

The Idea of an ‘Icon in Sound’ in the Works of John Tavener
Authors: Miklaszewska Joanna
Published: November 2021

Abstract

           

               The aim of this article is to present an innovative concept of the ‘icon in sound’ created by the English composer John Tavener. The first part of the article presents the intermedial and intertextual features of Tavener's work, the second shows the genesis of the concept of ‘icon in sound’, to which three factors have contributed: 1) the composer’s interest in religious topics in his pieces, 2) the composer’s conversion to Orthodoxy, 3) collaboration with Mother Tekla, the author of the texts of many Tavener’s works.

              

               The last, third part of the article describes issues related to the formal structure and musical symbolism present in Tavener’s musical icons. The composer refers to painted icons by composing works characterised by static form and the expression of spirituality, mysticism and inner peace. These features result from the juxtaposing of melismatic structures, inspired by Byzantine music, with repetitive technique and dynamics often characterised by a low intensity. One characteristic of Tavener’s sound icons is a ‘luminous’ sound, achieved through the use of high registers of voices and instruments, which are combined with contemplative and lyrical expression. An important feature of John Tavener’s musical icons was the introduction of archaic elements, resulting primarily from the inspiration that the composer drew from the musical culture of the Orthodox Church (eg the use of Byzantine scales in Mary of Egypt, the introduction of instruments such as simantron in Mary of Egypt).
Zespół obrazów w dawnym dominikańskim sanktuarium św. Zofii w Zofiborze
Authors: Rolska Irena
Published: November 2021

W roku 1710 Jan Domaszewski funduje w swojej wsi Domaszewice drewniany kościół. W latach 1721-1722 Franciszek i Zofia Nowosielscy wznoszą i uposażają dla dominikanów drewniany klasztor. Od tego też czasu część wsi należąca do dominikanów nosi nazwę Zofibór. Dominikanie prowadzili w Zofiborze misje ludowe i zajmowali się prowadzeniem przyklasztornego folwarku. Obecny drewniany kościół został wybudowany po pożarze poprzedniego w 1854 wieku. W 1864 zakon dominikanów uległ kasacie. Dopiero w 1914 roku utworzona została przy kościele św. Zofii parafia. Przez lata zatarła się pamięć o zofiborskich dominikanach. Pamiątką po nich są zachowane we wnętrzu kościoła podominikańskie barokowe wizerunki świętych dominikańskich Dominika i Wincentego Ferreusza, namalowany przez Stanisława Szczerbica obraz Matki Boskiej w typie Eleusa (1628) oraz obraz  patronki sanktuarium św. Zofii.

Published: November 2021

Several factors that affect production of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), one of which is the quality of seedlings. The quality of seedlings is affected by the type of clones and the composition of the planting media. This study aims to obtain the influence of clone types and types of manure, as well as the interaction between clone types and types of manure on the growth of cocoa seedlings. The study was conducted in the field of practices and Laboratory of the State Polytechnic of Lampung, in January to June 2017. The method used was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) factorial pattern consisting of two factors. The first factor is the type of clone consisting of three levels, namely K1 = TSH clone 858, K2 = ICS 60, and K3 = TSH 908. The second factor consists of four levels namely P0 = Control, P1 = Chicken Manure, P2 = Cow Manure , and P3 = Goat Manure. The results showed that the use of TSH 858, ICS 60, and TSH 908 clones had the same effect on all observed variables. However, the use of manure has a significant effect on each variable, but the amount of leaf chlorophyll is relatively the same between clone types and types of manure, there are interactions between clone types and types of manure.

Upaya untuk memperbaiki teknik budidaya pada tanaman pakchoy salah satunya dengan cara pemupukan tanaman. Saat ini pemupukan tanaman pakchoy secara umum dilakukan dengan menggunakan pupuk kimia. Penggunaan pupuk kimia secara terus menerus dapat menurunkan tingkat kesuburan tanah dan penurunan kualitas tanaman. Untuk mempertahankan kesuburan tanah dan meningkatkan produksi tanaman dapat dilakukan dengan mengkombinasikan penggunaan pupuk kimia dengan pupuk organik, sehingga penggunaan pupuk kimia dapat dikurangi dengan disubstitusi oleh pupuk organik. Bahan alami yang berpotensi menjadi pupuk organik cair adalah asap cair (cuka bambu). Penelitian tentang potensi cuka bambu banyak diarahkan pada fungsinya sebagai pengawet makanan dan pestisida nabati, namun demikian, cuka bambu juga memiliki potensi sebagai bahan organik yang dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia pada budidaya tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui potensi cuka bambu sebagai bahan organik yang dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia pada budidaya tanaman pakchoy. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) faktorial 2 x 5 dengan 3 ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah frekuensi pemberian pupuk yaitu satu kali (F1) dan dua kali (F2). Faktor kedua adalah takaran cuka bambu dan NPK, yaitu 100% cuka bambu (N1), 75% cuka bambu + 25% NPK (N2), 50% cuka bambu + 50% NPK (N3), 25% cuka bambu + 75% NPK (N4), dan 100%  NPK. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan cuka bambu dengan takaran 50% konsentrasi (5 ml/liter/tanaman) pada frekuensi pemberian pemupukan satu kali dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk NPK hingga 50 % (hanya 1 gram/tanaman). Namun demikian, jika frekuensi pemupukan dilakukan dua kali maka penggunaan cuka bambu dengan takaran 75% konsentrasi (7,5 ml/liter/tanaman) dapat mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia NPK hingga 75% (hanya 0,5 gram/tanaman). Pemberian cuka bambu + NPK mampu mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia NPK pada budidaya tanaman pakchoy tergantung pada frekuensi pemupukannya.

Glomerexis Bey-Bienko, 1938, stat. resurr. is resurrected from synonymy of Pseudoglomeris Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 and considered as a subgenus of the latter. The type species of Glomerexis, P. (G.) tibetana (Bey-Bienko, 1938) from eastern Xizang (Tibet), is redescribed and illustrated here. The subgenus Glomerexis consists of three alpine flightless species: the type one, P. (G.) semisulcata Hanitsch, 1924 and P. (G.) angustifolia (Wang et Che, 2011).
Prevotella brain abscess in a healthy patient with a patent foramen ovale: Case report
Authors: Akimoto Yu , Yanaka Kiyoyuki , Onuma Kuniyuki , Nakamura Kazuhiro , Ishikawa Eiichi
Published: November 2021

Background:

Brain abscesses are relatively rare life-threatening infectious lesions often concomitant with a direct spillover of inflammation in the head or neck, hematogenous infections, and immunocompromised conditions. They rarely occur in adults without such predisposing factors. Prevotella is a well-known dental pathogen that very rarely causes brain abscesses.

Case Description:

We report such an abscess in a 51-year-old man who was innately healthy and had no oral lesions. A comprehensive computed tomography examination of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, was inconclusive but a transesophageal echocardiogram bubble study revealed a mild patent foramen ovale (PFO) that matched Grade 1 criteria. We deduced that the right-left shunt due to the PFO could have contributed to the brain infection and treated the patient successfully via surgical abscess aspiration and antibiotics.

Conclusion:

In case of a brain abscess occurring in healthy adults, it is essential to investigate the source of infection and the existence of an arterio-venous shunt, such as PFO.

Published: November 2021

Background:

Epilepsy is estimated to affect 70 million people worldwide and is medically refractory in 30% of cases.

Methods:

This is a retrospective cross-sectional study using a US database from 2012 to 2014 to identify patients aged ≥18 years admitted to the hospital with epilepsy as the primary diagnosis. The sampled population was weighted using Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project guidelines. Procedural ICD-9 codes were utilized to stratify the sampled population into two cohorts: resective surgery and implantation or stimulation procedure.

Results:

Query of the database yielded 152,925 inpatients, of which 8535 patients underwent surgical intervention. The nonprocedural group consisted of 76,000 White patients (52.6%) and 28,390 Black patients (19.7%) while the procedural group comprised 5550 White patients (64%) and 730 Black patients (8.6%) (P< 0.001). Patients with Medicare were half as likely to receive a surgical procedure (14.8% vs. 28.4%) while patients with private insurance were twice as likely to receive a procedure (53.4% vs. 29.3%), both were statistically significant (P< 0.01). Those in the lowest median household income quartile by zip code (<$40,000) were 68% less likely to receive a procedure (21.5% vs. 31.4%) while the highest income quartile was 133% more likely to receive a procedure (26.1% vs. 19.5%). Patients from rural and urban nonteaching hospitals were, by a wide margin, less likely to receive a surgical procedure.

Conclusion:

We demonstrate an area of need and significant improvement at institutions that have the resources and capability to perform epilepsy surgery. The data show that institutions may not be performing enough epilepsy surgery as a result of racial and socioeconomic bias. Admissions for epilepsy continue to increase without a similar trend for epilepsy surgery despite its documented effectiveness. Race, socioeconomic status, and insurance all represent significant barriers in access to epilepsy surgery. The barriers can be remedied by improving referral patterns and implementing cost-effective measures to improve inpatient epilepsy services in rural and nonteaching hospitals.
Bimodal fibrosis in a novel mouse model of bleomycin-induced usual interstitial pneumonia
Authors: Miura Yoko , Lam Maggie , Bourke Jane E , Kanazawa Satoshi
Published: November 2021

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is pathologically represented by usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Conventional bleomycin models used to study pathogenic mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis display transient inflammation and fibrosis, so their relevance to UIP is limited. We developed a novel chronic induced-UIP (iUIP) model, inducing fibrosis in D1CC×D1BC transgenic mice by intra-tracheal instillation of bleomycin mixed with microbubbles followed by sonoporation (BMS). A bimodal fibrotic lung disease was observed over 14 wk, with an acute phase similar to nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), followed by partial remission and a chronic fibrotic phase with honeycombing similar to UIP. In this secondary phase, we observed poor vascularization despite elevated PDGFRβ expression. γ2PF- and MMP7-positive epithelial cells, consistent with an invasive phenotype, were predominantly adjacent to fibrotic areas. Most invasive cells were Scgb1a1 and/or Krt5 positive. This iUIP mouse model displays key features of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and has identified potential mechanisms contributing to the onset of NSIP and progression to UIP. The model will provide a useful tool for the assessment of therapeutic interventions to oppose acute and chronic fibrosis.
Actualización sobre el estoma de protección tras resección anterior baja o ultrabaja por cáncer de recto. Revisión sistemática y nuevas tendencias.
Authors: Gámez Córdoba María Esther
Published: November 2021

El estándar para el tratamiento del cáncer de recto es la resección anterior baja o ultrabaja con escisión total del mesorrecto. Técnicas cada vez menos invasivas unidas a un mayor interés por la preservación de esfínteres han llevado a realizar resecciones rectales con anastomosis cada vez más próximas al margen anal. Una de las complicaciones más importantes y más temidas por sus graves consecuencias es la fuga anastomótica. Con intención de prevenir la dehiscencia anastomótica o aliviar sus consecuencias se realizan tradicionalmente estomas derivativos tras la resección rectal con anastomosis de riesgo. Sin embargo el estoma de protección presenta morbilidad asociada, afecta a la calidad de vida del paciente, y precisa una nueva intervención para la reconstrucción del tránsito, que asocia a su vez una morbi-mortalidad significativa. Incluso uno de cada 4-6 estomas queda sin cerrar. Por todo ello el papel de los estomas de protección sigue siendo controvertido, sin encontrar respuestas con suficiente evidencia en la literatura.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo hacer una revisión de la literatura para establecer el rol actual del estoma de protección. Además analizamos la corriente que boga por el cierre precoz del estoma (en los primeros 15 días tras la cirugía) y las alternativas a los estomas de protección tradicionales que han aparecido en los últimos años, como la ileostomía virtual, el tubo ileal y el dispositivo de derivación fecal.

Published: November 2021

This study is to compare the knowledge-technological flow networks to the competitiveness in two shrimp producing groups from the municipality of Ahome (Sinaloa). It has focused on an analysis of social networks and the information was obtained by the application of a survey to asample of 60 shrimp producing companies (7 belongs to Sinaloa Aquaculture Cluster and the 53 left belong to the social and private sector). It was found that in the Sinaloa Aquaculture Cluster the network indicators and the competitiveness scale were higher than the rest of the farms. Thismeans that there is a greater transfer of information between the actors, and they also play a key role within the structure, as well as the limited size of the population in the organizations that make up the cluster shrimp farming as well as being focused on geographic and sectorial ambits. For that,is not possible to assume a causal relation and generalize the findings neither. Unity and strategic organization are key factors for this type of productive articulations, as they constitute an important source of social welfare and have a favorable impact on regional development.
