Back to nature as a medication concept has been accepted widely because it has fewer side effects than modern medicines. Researches on natural products as anticancer agent therapies are in progress. This present research was conducted to determine that the inhibitory activity of snail (Achatina fulica (Lam.) Bowdich) mucus inhibits the growth rate of mammary cancer in SpragueDawley rats. Five groups of female rats, with four individuals each, were induced with 7,12-dimethylbenz(α)anthracene (DMBA) for five weeks. Snail mucus was applied every seven days to the treated rats with three different dosages (15, 20, and 25 mg/kg BW). Observations were done on diameters and growth rate of the mammary cancer lump developed at the end of week 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. Histopathological examination was carried out at the end of the 16th week. Inhibitory activity results showed a row of average diameter of the cancerous lumps on rats with the following details. The results obtained from the application of snail mucus at dosage of 15, 20, and 25 mg/kg BW were at 0.40, 0.60, and 0.09 cm respectively along with average growth rate of cancerous lumps at 1.50, 0.75, and 0.25. The histopathology results of the snail mucus treatment at dosage of 15, 20, and 25 mg/kg BW showed normal tissue depiction and similarly normal histopathological form indicated by the presence of their sub-clinic components. The results showed that a snail mucus dose of 25 mg/kg BW was able to perform inhibitory activity on growing mammary cancer in rats induced by DMBA.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading congenital disease with the incidence of 8 patients of 1000 livebirth. Around 85% of patients with CHD is expected to reach adult age in United States of America. Management of traumatic brain injury in patients with CHD requires combination of fine understanding on pathophysiology of CHD and neuroanesthesia technique. A male patient, 17 years of age had a motor vehicle accident and was diagnosed with moderate traumatic brain injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, epidural hemorrhage and cerebral edema with Tetralogy of Fallot, underwent an emergency craniotomy for ICH evacuation. Surgery was done under general anesthesia and lasted for approximately 3 hours. Challenges during anesthesia and surgery include maintaining optimal oxygen delivery, avoiding increase in oxygen demand and preventing catecholamine release which may trigger hypercyanotic tet spell. Patient was observed and ventilator supported in Intensive Observation Ward and was extubated at the same post surgery day. Patient was then observed in the Ward and sent home on the 14th day after the incident.

Published: December 2021

Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma (GCRG) is an unusual non-neoplastic lesion which most commonly involves maxilla and mandible. We present a case of GCRG of the nasal cavity in a young female presented with the complaint of progressively nasal obstruction. Radiological findings are usually nonspecific in this entity, therefore a good clinical, radiological and pathological correlation is needed for final diagnosis and to differentiate it from other giant cell lesions. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment modality over simple curettage.

Authors:   Associate Professor, Sadhu Vaswani College of Nursing, Pune, Maharashtra, India, Murkute Ujjwala
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Patients and their loved ones experience variable degrees of fear and anxiety during cancer treatment. In such times, family becomes an integral part of the patient’s support system. Family members may also experience similar stress like health professionals while dealing with the patient’s diagnosis and its long term treatment. Objectives: The study was aimed at assessing the level of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction among family caregivers of patients undergoing chemotherapy and to seek an association of compassion fatigue with selected demographic variables. Methods: In this exploratory descriptive study, 80 family caregivers were included with non-probability convenience sampling from the chemotherapy unit of tertiary care hospital. Data related to compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction were collected from family caretakers of patients visiting for the chemotherapy cycles with 27 point rating scale. Results: Mean compassion satisfaction and mean compassion fatigue was 41.16 and 52.35 respectively. Majority of caregivers 41 (51.2%) had average satisfaction level while 39 (48.8%) had high satisfaction level. In the case of assessment of the level of compassion fatigue, majority of participants (92.5%) had high compassion fatigue and only (7.5%) had moderate compassion fatigue. Monthly income was found to be significantly associated with the level of compassion satisfaction whereas relation with patients was found to be significantly associated with the level of compassion fatigue among caregivers. Conclusion: The findings of the study suggests that the caregivers had high to moderate compassion satisfaction while taking care of their loved ones during chemotherapy.

Introduction: Nurses play a vital role in patient care and health sector. In order to meet the needs of the patients around the clock, in the nursing profession, 24 hours of the day are usually covered by three 8-hour shifts. Nurses are one subgroup of the population who appear to be especially vulnerable to poor sleep. The aim of the study was to assess sleep hygiene practices and sleep quality among nursing officers. Methodology: A quantitative (non-experimental) research approach was adopted for the study with a descriptive survey design. The sample of the present study comprised of 100 nursing officers working in a selected hospital of Delhi. A Structured Rating Scale was used to assess the sleep hygiene practices and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep quality of nursing officers. The data gathered were analysed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The result of the study showed that majority of the nursing officers have poor sleep quality. Sleep hygiene practices of nursing officers were almost divided equally in fairly good and fairly poor categories. As sleep hygiene improved, sleep quality also was seen to improve. A negative correlation was seen between sleep quality and sleep hygiene practice. Conclusion: Finding of study will act as a catalyst to carry out more extensive research on a large population sample in various settings and also a reference material for researchers who are willing to conduct research in assessing sleep quality and sleep hygiene practice.

Abstrakt

W ostatnich latach istotnym obszarem zastosowania fibryny stała się inżynieria tkankowa, w której wykorzystuje się naturalne właściwości biostatyczne i bioaktywne fibryny, a także możliwość pułapkowania i wiązania w jej strukturze czynników wzrostu. Fibryna jest najczęściej stosowana w postaci żeli i dysków. Jednak każda postać wskutek pochłaniania wody docelowo przyjmuje postać żelu. Białko to w warunkach in vivo spełnia rolę rusztowania dla komórek, a także może być aplikowane w miejsca trudno dostępne – może wypełniać ubytki tkanek i podtrzymywać tkanki okalające, zapobiegając ich zapadaniu się. Ponadto fibryna hamuje krwawienie i inicjuje proces odnowy, jak również pełni rolę stymulatora wzrostu komórek. Przez modyfikacje struktury fibryny cząsteczkami adhezyjnymi, można przyspieszyć odbudowę prawidłowej struktury tkanek. Jej właściwości strukturalne mogą być także wykorzystywane jako rezerwuar czynników wzrostu i system ich przedłużonego uwalniania. Fibryna jest materiałem biodegradowalnym, umożliwiając skorelowanie ubytku matrycy fibrynowej z odbudową tkanek własnych pacjenta. Wprowadzenie metod druku 3D i elektroprzędzenia umożliwia formulację dopasowanych do uszkodzeń kształtek oraz włóknin bez utraty bioaktywnych funkcji fibryny. Metody te umożliwiają także poprawę właściwości mechanicznych przez otrzymywanie m.in. włóknin fibryny z innymi polimerami, co jest szczególnie uzasadnione w przypadku materiałów stosowanych w odbudowie takich struktur jak ścięgna czy kości. Biotechnologiczna synteza fibrynogenu może w przyszłości uniezależnić pozyskiwanie go z krwi i zwiększyć popularność wyrobów medycznych otrzymywanych z fibryny.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. Stomatitis (oral mucositis) is a very serious adverse effect of anticancer therapy, and it may exacerbate treatment outcomes as well as prognoses. Stomatitis is associated with pain during chewing and swallowing, causing discomfort and interfering with eating. It can also lead to weight loss and a delay in child growth and development. None of the numerous therapies used for stomatitis management can be considered universal or sufficiently effective. Allogeneic platelet gel, a formulation that adheres closely to mucosal lesions and is rich in growth factors, may be an effective treatment for accelerating the erosion-healing process. Methods. A prospective, open-label study on the efficacy of platelet gel used for the treatment of stomatitis in children during chemotherapy. Platelet gel was applied to oral mucosal lesions four times a day. Results. 28 patients with Grade II and Grade III stomatitis were enrolled in the study. The first day after applying platelet gel, 93% of patients reported relief from pain. Within 4 to 5 days, one degree of mucosal lesion regression was reported in 89% of patients, indicating a 3 to 5 day reduction in therapy compared to our previous experience. In only two patients did we observe mild adverse events in the form of a burning sensation. Conclusion. Platelet gel contributed to both pain reduction and acceleration of the oral mucosa healing process. It is a safe and effective therapy for children with stomatitis induced by chemotherapy.
Generalised Regression Neural Network (GRNN) Architecture-Based Motion Planning and Control of an E-Puck Robot in V-REP Software Platform
Authors: Panwar Vikas Singh , Pandey Anish , Hasan Muhammad Ehtesham
Published: November 2021

This article focuses on the motion planning and control of an automated differential-driven two-wheeled E-puck robot using Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) architecture in the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP) software platform among scattered obstacles. The main advantage of this GRNN over the feedforward neural network is that it provides accurate results in a short period with minimal error. First, the designed GRNN architecture receives real-time obstacle information from the Infra-Red (IR) sensors of an E-puck robot. According to IR sensor data interpretation, this architecture sends the left and right wheel velocities command to the E-puck robot in the V-REP software platform. In the present study, the GRNN architecture includes the MIMO system, i.e., multiple inputs (IR sensors data) and multiple outputs (left and right wheel velocities). The three-dimensional (3D) motion and orientation results of the GRNN architecture-controlled E-puck robot are carried out in the V-REP software platform among scattered and wall-type obstacles. Further on, compared with the feedforward neural network, the proposed GRNN architecture obtains better navigation path length with minimum error results.
Perturbations of the Depth of Liquid Penetration Into the Capillary During Bubble Departures
Authors: Dzienis Paweł
Published: November 2021

In the present paper, the influence of bubble size on liquid penetration into the capillary was experimentally and numerically studied. In the experiment, bubbles were generated from a glass capillary (with an inner diameter equal to 1 mm) in a glass tank containing distilled water, tap water or an aqueous solution of calcium carbonate. These liquids differ in the value of their surface tension, which influences the bubble size. During experimental investigations, air pressure fluctuations in the gas supply system were measured. Simultaneously, the videos showing the liquids’ penetration into the capillary were recorded. Based on the videos, the time series of liquid movements inside the capillary were recovered. The numerical models were used to study the influence of bubble size on the velocity of liquid flow above the capillary and the depth of liquid penetration into the capillary. It was shown that the air volume flow rate and the surface tension have the greatest impact on the changes of pressure during a single cycle of bubble departure (Δp). The changes in pressure during a single cycle of bubble departure determine the depth of liquid penetration into the capillary. Moreover, the values of Δp and, consequently, the depth of liquid penetration can be modified by perturbations in the liquid velocity above the capillary outlet.
Covidian Metamorphoses: Art and the Poetics of Transformation in Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet
Authors: Orosz-Réti Zsófia
Published: November 2021

Ali Smith’s Autumn (2016), coined “the first Brexit novel”, relied on a very “time-sensitive” publication schedule: weeks after the manuscript had been submitted, the book was already published, documenting almost in real-time the aftermath of the Brexit referendum. The remaining three volumes of the Seasonal Quartet (Winter, 2017; Spring, 2019; Summer, 2020) also followed a similarly tight schedule; hence the last piece of the collection, published in the summer of 2020, could already reflect on yet another crisis: that of the COVID-19 pandemic and the first lockdown in Britain. The Quartet offers art as a vital coping mechanism for such critical times, but the present paper argues that the function of art in the Quartet is even more pervasive than that. The sequence’s entire poetics of transformation is founded on art as a mediatized means of experiencing the world, which is then turned into a rhetoric of transformation. The paper traces the three main motifs of the Quartet: that of the tree, the stone, and the cloud/sky to look at how their art-based transformations create a sense of connectedness in the four novels.

Published: November 2021

Electrical impedance spectroscopy is a well-established tool for monitoring changes in the electrical properties of tissue. Most tissue and organ types have been investigated in various studies. As for the small intestine, there are several published studies conducted on pig and rat models. This study investigates the changes in passive electrical properties of the complete wall of the human intestine non-invasively during ischemia. We aim to use the passive electrical properties to assess intestinal viability. The bioimpedance measurements were performed using a two-electrode set-up with a Solartron 1260 Impedance/gain-phase analyser. The small intestinal samples were resected from patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Impedance measurements were conducted following resection by placing the electrodes on the surface of the intestine. A voltage was applied across the intestinal sample and the measured electrical impedance was obtained in the ZPlot software. Impedance data were further fitted into a Cole model to obtain the Cole parameters. The Py
value was calculated from the extracted Cole parameters and used to assess the cell membrane integrity, thus evaluate the intestinal viability. Eight small intestinal segments from different patients were used in this study and impedance measurements were performed once an hour for a ten-hour period. One hour after resection, the impedance decreased, then increased the next two hours, before decreasing until the end of the experiment. For all the intestinal segments, the Py
values first increased and reached a plateau which lasted for 1 - 2 hours, before it decreased irreversibly. The time interval where Py
value reached the maximum is consistent with reported viable/non-viable limits from histological analysis.
Human activities can hinder the breeding of a top avian predator: preliminary results
Authors: Dobrev Dobromir , Dobrev Vladimir , Demerdzhiev Dimitar
Published: November 2021

The Eastern Imperial Eagle (EIE) is a large-sized, globally threatened species with a wide distribution. The species is extremely vulnerable and sensitive to human disturbance and activities in the vicinities of its nests. We analyzed the effect of human disturbance in two territories of Eastern Imperial Eagles from Bulgaria in 2008–2009. We recorded 375 cases of different types of human activity in the vicinities of the two surveyed nests – 60 cases in nest A and 315 in nest B. The most common activity around the studied nests was the passing of light motor vehicles (n=100 cases). Our results highlight that the probability of EIE’s reaction is dependent on the type of activity, distance from the nest and the duration of the activity. However, eagles’ reaction is independent from the number of intruders. We found that with the decrease of the distance to the nest, the reaction progresses and is more acute. We found statistical differences between the distance belts and the majority of alert and flight reactions that were recorded at distances up to 300 m from the nests. We reported that humans walking around nests (mainly hunters, fishermen, tourists, people illegally extracting sand in the close vicinities of the nests) result in a large number of reactions of flight off by the eagles thus, leaving the nest unattended. More research on a large scale on this topic is needed including more accurate measures to address human disturbance in EIE territories. The findings will be applied to ensure higher breeding rates and species conservation.
The orientation of nestboxes influences their occupation rates and the breeding success of passerine birds
Authors: Briggs Kevin B. , Mainwaring Mark C.
Published: November 2021

Nestboxes are widely provided as nesting sites for hole-nesting birds, yet the relative contribution of nestbox characteristics and habitat quality in determining the occupancy rates and breeding success of birds remains unclear. We provided nestboxes in deciduous woodlands in England and examined if those nestboxes were erected in random orientations and whether the orientation of nestboxes and habitat quality, in the form of tree density, influenced their occupation by, and breeding success of, Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), Great Tits (Parus major) and Pied Flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca). We found that first, the nestboxes were erected non-randomly orientated towards the north and east, and away from the south and west. Second, the occupation rates of none of the species was related to nestbox orientation or tree density. Third, the breeding success of neither Blue Tits nor Great Tits varied with tree density but did vary with nestbox orientation. Blue Tit hatching success and fledging success was higher in nestboxes facing south than in other directions whilst in Great Tits, clutch sizes, hatching success and fledging success was higher in nestboxes facing south than nestboxes facing other directions. Our results suggest that nestbox characteristics, such as orientation, have more influence on the reproductive success of passerines than habitat quality. This further suggests that conservationists should orientate nestboxes southwards in order to maximise their benefit to birds in temperate climates during the breeding season.
Sports Diplomacy and Gender: Equal Opportunities for Women in Czech Basketball
Authors: Kočí Kateřina , Dubský Zbyněk , Burgrová Ilona
Published: November 2021

The article focuses on the role of equal opportunities and gender in the sports environment, examining their impacts on the creation and functioning of sports diplomacy. Subsequently, in the form of a case study it first concentrates on the Czech sports environment and women’s representation in international and national sports federations. In the final part, it examines the basketball environment and analyses its individual structures. Women are not sufficiently represented as coaches, referees or officials. Several main challenges are mentioned: the perception of sport as a predominantly male phenomenon, the overall society setting fixed on traditional perceptions of the role of women and men in the Czech Republic, a small number of suitable female sports models, the time-consuming character of the activities, gender stereotypes at work, the absence of suitable conditions for reconciling family and work life and the low self-confidence of female candidates. The article concludes that the Czech sports environment (including basketball) is markedly masculine, and women face a number of barriers, which in practice are reflected in the Czech Republic’s representation in international sport organisations and the way in which sports diplomacy is used as a foreign policy tool.

Published: November 2021

This article introduces the concept of sport for development and peace both as a theoretical notion and a part of the political-economical practice. Together with a brief definition and a historical overview, the main goal is to present the sport and development in the context of international relations, a network of stakeholders, practical implementation within major projects and its progressive inclusion into the development documents and strategies. Specifically, the article highlights the adoption of the concept by two major institutions, the United Nations and the International Olympic Committee as formal umbrella organisations. Furthermore, the role of the sport for development within the UN’s agenda of Sustainable Development Goals is elaborated. Since the topic is a frequent object of academic research and critical analysis, the article concludes with an outline of the commonly mentioned contested topics and critical debates which permeate both academic production and activities of international state and non-governmental organisations.
National Representation without Citizenship: the Special Case of Rugby
Authors: Reiche Danyel
Published: November 2021

This article is a case study of one of the few sports, rugby, that does not link national representation exclusively to citizenship. It discusses who may represent a country in major events and under which conditions. It analyses the consequences of the rules on different stakeholders; and discusses why the residency rule in particular is subject to much controversy. The author has conducted case studies of the 2019 rugby union and 2017 rugby league men’s World Cups. Academic literature, international news-papers, and rugby-specific websites were reviewed. Other than secondary sources, the researcher also collected primary data through interviews. The interviewees included representatives of Rugby League International Federation and World Rugby. This research reveals that national representation without citizenship is widespread in both codes of rugby. It has also shown that the effects of the eligibility criteria go beyond simplistic rich/poor and center/periphery models. This article argues that the rational for the eligibility criteria is the limited global spread of rugby league and rugby union. Without those lenient rules it would be difficult to organize international competitions.

Subject. The article considers the development strategy of the Russian financial market under new economic conditions.
Objectives. The purpose is to elaborate theoretical and practical proposals to improve the financial market strategy for boosting investment and economic growth in crisis.
Methods. The study rests on strategizing, which allows to propose a number of initiatives to enhance the strategy of the financial market during the crisis period, based on trends, existing competitive advantages and opportunities of the Russian economy.
Results. The paper shows the need to continue the transformation of the financial system, based not only on the liberal economic paradigm and recommendations of international institutions on the free movement of capital, but also on the use of its own strategy, aimed at economic development (including in industrial regions), enabling to address environmental factors.
Conclusions. In times of crisis, it is necessary to stir up State institutions for development in financial markets, synchronize monetary and fiscal policies, strengthen the regulation of cross-border capital flows, and use the ESG strategies by public companies in Russia. The establishment of some additional restrictions on capital markets and the foreign exchange market by the financial regulator, the support for the ESG approach by State institutions for development and banks will mitigate systemic risks during crisis periods and attract financial resources to long-term investment projects of the real economy, encourage the growth of capitalization of companies, including in regions.

Drug Injections to Reduce Facial Fat
Authors:   São José Do Rio Preto, Trídico Lívia Arroyo
Published: November 2021

Facial aging involves not only the loss of volume, but also the ptosis of the fat compartments, leading to the emergence of deep folds and generating heterogeneous creases and depressions. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the drug injections of active principles in the subcutaneous tissue to reduce the puffiness in the jowl and nasolabial areas, and also the accumulation of fat in the submental area (“double chin”). Therefore, we describe the use of lipolytic and antioxidant substances to reduce facial fat in four patients who were very satisfied with the result of the treatment. Consequently, we conclude that the drug injections of active principles are a practical method with fast and promising results in the treatment of facial fat.

Authors:   University Of Guadalajara, Villanueva Aldo Antonio Castañeda
Published: December 2021

Much of human well-being depends on ecosystems, a body of water can be used in different ways: as a source of drinking water, for agricultural irrigation, including for energy generation, many water sources support food production; in short, life on our planet is sustained through sensitive interrelationships with various natural resources, such as water flows. In the particular case that the river is an ecosystem of great richness and complexity, necessary for the sustainability of population centers, true urban planning must consider the proper conservation of the natural causes of water (rivers and streams, among others), avoiding using these routes

Uncertainty in World Politics: New “Normality” or New “Abnormality”
Authors: Neimark M. A.
Published: November 2021

In the conditions of turbulent transformations of the world order, life itself, with its contradictions, difficulties and surprises, extremely actualizes the problems associated with unforeseen risks and challenges to world development. The coronavirus pandemic has created a new “normality” or, more precisely, a new “abnormality” in which countries find themselves regardless of their geopolitical status and place in the international hierarchy. The global coronavirus crisis has exacerbated the already growing uncertainty in global political processes. Uncertainty and the associated strategic instability is a breeding ground for preserving acutely problematic nodes of global politics and delaying the search for constructive solutions that bring them closer to a mutually acceptable model of the coming world order. The phenomenon of apolarity is becoming more and more complicated and has been linked in recent years with the growing weight and influence of new geopolitical players and centers of power — China, India, Latin America states. The international positions of Russia have significantly strengthened, which has acquired a full-fledged role in global politics. In the context of the current geopolitical confrontations and competitive rivalry, the experience of understanding uncertainty in the scientific and expert communities of Russia acquires special practical and political significance.
