Authors: Aprilya Putu , Sunada I Nyoman , Parbandari Anak
Published: February 2022

Macaron is a type of pastry that is popular in the community. The basic ingredient for making macarons cake is almond flour. Almond as a basic ingredient of flour, has a fairly expensive price, so macarons cake is categorized as an expensive pastry and has not been fully reached by the public. Another type of nut that can replace almonds is peanuts. Peanuts are easy to find in Indonesia and are spread in several provinces. The relatively cheap price of peanuts and high nutritional content can be an alternative to almond flour. The object of this study is the quality of the macarons using groundnut peanut flour. The stages of this study consist of experiments, documentation, and organoleptic tests or sensory tests. The results of this study indicate that the macarons cake made from peanut flour meets the indicators of a good macarons cake. Based on organoleptic test or test sensory, macaron peanut flour-based macarons starch peanuts have a crispy texture is very crisp, the colors are rather pale, macarons are made from peanuts have a surface that is smooth and there are no cracks, in addition pied (foot) on the peanut-based macarons are peanut-based already appear or have legs.

Published: February 2022

The purpose of the article is to analyze and assess the natural, climatic, historical and cultural resources of the tourist center of Kamianets-Podilskyi (Ukraine). Based on this, it is planned to identify the existing problems in the tourism industry and form recommendations aimed to solve the issues. Methodology. The study used methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis and the method of generalization. The method of analysis was used to highlight certain elements of the overall picture, characterizing the potential of the tourist center, the historical value of architectural structures and the possibility of attracting investment in tourism development. The synthesis method was used to combine a variety of information into a coherent picture that objectively reflects the subject of research. The generalization method was used to formulate base messages, general statements and conclusions. Results. It was found that Kamianets-Podilskyi has rich natural, historical, architectural and cultural resources that attract thousands of tourists. The main sights of the city are the Smotritskiy Canyon, the Old Fortress and the Old Town with more than a hundred architectural structures. However, the potential of these resources is not fully utilized, as evidenced by the small number of tourists compared to other European tourist centers. The main reasons for the lag include an undeveloped information campaign of city promotion, poor transport links, an insufficient number of hotels, restaurants, entertainment establishments of the appropriate level. Local authorities and private businesses are working on solving these problems, but their efforts have not yet turned into a concrete result in the form of positive dynamics of growth in the number of tourists. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that an assessment was made of the tourism potential of Kamianets-Podilskyi in comparison with other European tourist centers and the problems that need to be solved to increase the attractiveness of the city. The practical significance lies in the popularization of the tourist town of Kamianets-Podilskyi. Dissemination of information about the tourist destination is an important step in increasing the tourist flows. The article provides practical recommendations aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the city, which can be used by both the authorities and private business. In addition, the above recommendations can be useful for other cities that plan to develop the tourism industry.

La playa de los Cristales de Laxe como recurso efímero
Authors: Rey Cancela Raúl , Cortés Vázquez José Antonio
Published: February 2022

La Playa de los Cristales, situada en el municipio de Laxe, se ha convertido en años recientes en uno de los productos turísticos más importantes dentro de la oferta turística de Costa da Morte y la provincia de A Coruña. Su atractivo radica en una característica que la hace única: la alta presencia de cristales redondeados y de pequeño tamaño esparcidos sobre su arena. No obstante, dicho atractivo único se ha convertido también en su principal amenaza, a medida que turistas y visitantes se los llevan consigo como souvenir, reduciendo cada vez más su presencia. El análisis de la situación de esta playa nos permite mostrar las consecuencias que acarrea la consolidación de nuevos productos turísticos sin una planificación y gestión previa adecuada. Argumentamos que, de cara al desarrollo de una actividad turística sostenible, bien planificada y gestionada, necesitamos comprender las variables clave detrás de la aparición de la problemática que afecta a este lugar, para poder en un futuro plantear las soluciones oportunas que garanticen la correcta protección y conservación de este recurso efímero.

Can red cell indices predict retinopathy of prematurity in preterm extreme low birth weight neonates? A single center retrospective study
Authors: Roshan Reashma , Shah Mubashir H.
Published: February 2022

Background: Improvement in neonatal health care services has led to the survival of extreme low birth weight babies over the years. This has led to increased number of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) cases being diagnosed. Thus it becomes imperative to identify factors which can reliably predict preterm neonates at increased risk of ROP. Aims and objectives were to identify red cell indices at 4 weeks postpartum which can predict ROP in extreme low birth weight neonates.Methods: Three years ROP data in extremely low birth weight neonates was retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results: The mean gestational age at birth of the neonates in ROP group (n=149) and no-ROP group (n=191) was 28.25 (±2.71) weeks and 31.82 (±2.24) weeks, respectively (p<0.05). The mean birth weight of the neonates in ROP group and no-ROP group was 756.44 (±95.50) grams and 890 (±109.20) grams, respectively (p<0.05). In extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates, hematologic parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values were lower and white blood cell count was higher in ROP group as compared to no-ROP group (p<0.05).Conclusions: Red cell indices may predict which extreme low birth weight neonates are at increased risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity. Being easily and widely available, red cell indices can be used as a screening test to predict ROP.

Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myositis involving progressive muscle weakness with skin manifestations. Incidence of dermatomyositis is 1 per 100,000 in general population. Diagnosis is based on characteristic skin rashes, progressive muscle weakness and elevated muscle enzymes levels (creatine phosphokinase). The diagnosis is confirmed by clinical examination, abnormal electromyogram and autoimmune workup. In this case report, we report a case of difficult to treat dermatomyositis with proximal muscle weakness in an elderly male patient with classical skin lesions. The patient was resistant to steroid and immunoglobulin therapy.
Open Educational Resources in the Time of COVID-19
Authors: Lucky Shannon , Doi Carolyn , Rubin Joseph
Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many post-secondary institutions to close abruptly in early 2020, and instructors were expected to transition to remote online instruction with little notice. For many instructors, hastily recorded lecture-capture videos alongside digital slides became the default mode of sharing instructional content. This sudden shift to video-based instruction was a significant challenge but also presented an opportunity to develop some instructional videos as open educational resources (OER). This paper outlines two case studies from the University of Saskatchewan in which a mix of OER and class-specific, closed-content videos were designed and integrated into remote learning environments. In designing these videos, we focused on technical design elements and accessibility, ability to reuse and share, and student engagement. Both cases, one in veterinary microbiology and the other in music research methods, followed similar strategies for creating multiple types of video content for the course, focusing on four distinct types (labs and demonstrations, guest interviews, lectures, and course information). Choosing to develop and share some of this video content as OER allowed us to expand the use of these learning objects beyond the online classroom. We discuss our considerations for making some videos open, including novelty of the content, reusability, copyright, privacy, and demands on instructor time. We also provide an introduction to our production process and practical tips, including planning, audiovisual production, editing, accessibility, and sharing platforms. The COVID-19 closures made 2020 an unexpectedly challenging year for students and instructors, but the necessity of moving instruction online prompted us to focus on supporting students in this new environment and helped us contribute to the growing body of OER.

Authors: Cessa Raphael Maia Aveiro , Souza Anny Carolina Soares de , Amaral Uirá do
Published: February 2022

This study aimed to conduct environmental diagnostics of areas with high potential environmental fragility in the Federal District, Brazil. Reclassified thematic maps of soil slope and vulnerability to water erosion were combined to create the soil susceptibility map to water erosion, which, in turn, was combined with the thematic maps of soil use and rain erosivity. The result was then reclassified, giving rise to the potential environmental fragility map. In the places identified with high potential environmental fragility, information was collected by observing the aspects of the physical, biotic, and anthropogenic environmental components of the landscape. Areas with high potential environmental fragility in the Federal District were found. In those locations, the uses and occupations of the soil observed were intensive farming, small rural activities, managed intensive livestock and degraded intensive livestock. Land use and occupation in areas with high potential environmental fragility of the Federal District, with “degraded intensive livestock”, make such sites environmentally fragile since there is a scarcity of non-preserved natural areas and there is no soil conservation method. It was concluded that, for the use and occupation of the soil with high potential environmental fragility areas in the Federal District, which are taken by intensive farming, small rural activities, and managed intensive livestock, the conservation of the natural areas and the vegetative and mechanical soil conservation techniques must be implemented.
Environmental management in a kennel: assessment and reduction of the environmental impacts
Authors: Brito Carolainy Silva , Reis Eduarda Oliveira
Published: February 2022

The abandonment of domestic animals in public places is a severe socio-environmental problem, hence municipal kennels are essential to the management of these animals. However, many kennels do not have an effective environmental management system, as they have limited financial and human resources. Thus, this work aimed to identify the environmental aspects and impacts of a kennel located in the south of Minas Gerais (Brazil) and also to propose low-cost solutions for reducing significant environmental impacts. The significant environmental impacts of the kennel are water and soil pollution, resulting from wastewater generation, besides animal feces and unused and expired medicines disposal. Therefore, it was proposed the construction of a septic tank followed by an anaerobic filter and a biodigester, and also the correct disposal of the pharmaceuticals. Finally, the kennel is essential to the zoonose control in the locality.

THE LABORATORY STUDY OF RESIN-BONDED FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES IN THE POSTERIOR REGION (IN PREMOLAR-SIZED SPANS). PART 2. MECHANICAL TESTING
Authors: Petrikas Oleg , Tsigankov Kobstantin , Petrikas Inga
Published: February 2022

Background. To date, numerous retrospective studies on the use of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPD) have proven their reliability. Nevertheless, there are still questions about the design of posterior resin-bonded fixed partial dentures for replacing 1 and 2 missing teeth.

Objectives. The present research was an in vitro study of the fracture strength of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPD) with movable connector on the heat-pressed ceramic minor retainer when replacing 1 or 2 missing premolars.

Methods. The laboratory research was carried out to study the fracture strength of fixed/movable RBFPD on acrylic moulds with a space equivalent to one or two premolars. The nature of RBFPD destruction and breaking loads in newtons were assessed by comparing the mean values according to the t-test. We studied 4 groups of RBFPD, depending on the type of retainer and the number of lost teeth.

Results. The smallest fracture strength (1017.0 ± 49.0 N) was observed in the group with two missing teeth. In groups with 1mm thick occlusal rest, its deformation was observed. In the groups with 2 mm thick occlusal rest, partial fracture of the ceramic minor retainer was observed. Fixation loss of the adhesive wings or cast crowns as a large retainer was not observed.

Conclusions. Fixed/movable RBFPD replacing two missing premolars are less fracture resisted then when replacing one missing premolar. Fixation loss of the large retainers was not observed. Adhesive wings were as effective as cast crowns as a large retainer.

ANALYSIS OF TOOTHPASTES USED AS THE BASIC ORAL CARE PRODUCTS. LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Abdrashitova Alena , Gaynullina Dilya , Morozova lidiya
Published: February 2022

Subject. A literature was reviewed on the relevant subject dedicated to the prevention of dental diseases – the study of the modern market of toothpastes used as the basic oral care products. Methodology. The data of special literature were studied using scientific tracking library databases: Pub Med, Elibrary, Cochrane. Literature was analysed using 55 sources. Results. On the modern market, there is a wide range of toothpastes with various properties due to active ingredients they are composed of. Despite the wide and varied range of these oral care products, there is no officially recognized classification of this product. The children's toothpastes should meet the following requirements: be neutral, have cleansing and polishing properties, have a good smell, flavour and appearance, cooling and disinfecting effects, be harmless and have a therapeutic and prophylactic effect. In the special literature, there are many studies on the use of toothpastes in case of high caries severity. The modern direction of therapeutic and prophylactic pastes is the inclusion of various enzymes in their composition. These components are able to increase the cleansing effect of hygiene products due to the lysis of the organic matrix of soft and hard components of plaque, bacteriostatic or indirect bactericidal effects on the biocenosis of the mouth, including the products of microorganisms. Conclusions. On the modern market, there is a huge range of toothpastes with various active ingredients effecting the causes of oral diseases, but there is still no toothpaste which would be safe to accidentally swallow during long-term use, which is one of the main reasons for development of individual oral health programs for patients with aggravated somatic status, as well as for those who have neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, the question of the absolutely safe toothpastes as the basic oral care products remains open.

Published: February 2022

Relevance. In the practice of a dentist, there are clinical situations when the chronic apical periodontitis, due to the ineffectiveness of the endodontic treatment, ends with a root apex resection, while the destruction of bone tissue in the periapical tissues remains. This paper presents cases of effective endodontic re-treatment of such teeth using biomaterials. The diagnostic value of the X-ray method was noted with an assessment of the density of the periapical tissue destruction focus using the densitometry method.

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of endodontic treatment of chronic apical periodontitis using biomaterials after root apex resection.

Material and methods. The study included 42 patients aged 25–35 years with chronic apical periodontitis with root apex resection. All patients underwent clinical examination methods and an X-ray method with an assessment of the density of the periapical tissue destruction focus by densitometry.

Results and discussion. The proposed method of endodontic re-treatment included temporary obturation of the root canal system with Bioimplant with Collapan gel in a 1:1 ratio, for a period of 15 to 30 days, followed by permanent filling of the root canal system according to the generally accepted technique. After 6 months, the optical density of the periapical tissues in 27 patients was within the normal range. In 15 patients, these indicators were 82% of the norm. After 12 months, the optical density was within the normal range in 90% of cases, in 10% – the optical density parameters approached normal values and amounted to 115.0-125.0 arbitrary units.

Conclusions. When carrying out repeated endodontic treatment, it is recommended to temporarily obturate the root canal system using the Bioimplant biomaterial with Collapan gel, which will increase not only the density of periapical tissues to normal values, but also preserve the function of the tooth, which is important for practical health care.

Methodology. 107 patients (male and female) aged 30-40 having chronic mild and moderate parodontitis were examined. The dental examination included questionnaire, instrumental examination to determine certain indices: OHI-S,PMA, PI.

To study the adherence to the treatment the questionnaire “Questionnaire of the quantitative estimation of the adherence to the treatment” (QAA-25) was carried out, also the objective and quantitative indices of the level of the adherence in the patients to the doctor’s recommendations in the long treatment were calculated. On carrying out the standard conservative therapy of chronic parodontitis the dynamic observation was performed in 17, 14 days, in 1 and 6 months. The comparative analysis of indices of the effective treatment was carried out including the disease severity and the level of the adherence to the treatment.

Results. In the patients having the high level of the adherence the standard method of chronical parodontitis treatment resulted in the compensation of the state (in 83.4% of cases in mild chronic parodontitis and in 58,3% of cases in moderate chronic parodontitis). If the patients had the low adherence they were inclined to the recurrent course of chronic parodontitis (in 33 % of cases).

Conclusion. The level of the adherence to the treatment influences on the efficiency of the standard therapy and the outcome of the disease. In the patients having the high level of the adherence the standard method of chronical parodontitis treatment resulted in the compensation of the state. If the patients had the low adherence they were inclined to the recurrent course of chronic parodontitis.

To have an individualized approach to the complex treatment it is necessary to take into consideration the level of the adherence of the patients to the long treatment.

Relevance. Patients with hereditary ordental pathology of hereditary origin (genomic, chromosomal, gene mutations), as well as with multifactorial symptoms, constitute, albeit not a large, but stable group in the composition of human populations. Today, the issues of the diversity of the symptom complex of hereditary pathology are being actively discussed, while clinical observations of such patients expand the theoretical and practical knowledge of doctors of various specialties. Cruson's syndrome is classified as a hereditary monogenic disease (the carriage of a gene occurs without a change in the trait in all subsequent generations), it is distinguished by very bright orodental symptoms and requires an integrated approach to treatment, with the participation of both general practitioners and dentists. The aim of the study was to determine the main ordental symptoms of Cruson's syndrome in children and the peculiarities of supervision at the stages of dental care. Materials and methods: a comprehensive examination and treatment of a patient with a diagnosis of Cruson's syndrome was carried out; all clinical events were carried out on the basis of GAUZ DSP No. 5; GAUZ DRKB MH RT (Kazan). Results: a clinical case of a patient with Cruson's syndrome is presented, demonstrating the results of supervision at the stages of dental care. Taking into account the identified characteristics of the patient, it is important to correctly formulate medical-genetic and dental diagnoses, from which the duration and effectiveness of the chosen treatment tactics follow. A specific feature of the patient that affects the success of treatment is the presence of a psychologically motivated readiness for a large volume of dental reconstructive work, as well as the absence of phobias in front of the actions of a dentist. Conclusions: the treatment of patients with Cruson syndrome requires an integrated approach, depends on the correct diagnosis, the planning of complex treatment, its implementation and the motivation of the patient and his parents.

The possibility of using organic esters of phosphoric acid as a solvents for the electrolyte for lithium-ion systems and supercapacitors was investigated. Supercapacitors based on activated carbon Norit Supra and on the electrolyte being studied showed fine electrochemical performance which is comparable with standard electrolytes based on propylene carbonate. Lithium-ion batteries (Li4Ti5O12-LiNiO2 system) also showed a good performance. The conductivity of electrolytes based on tributyl phosphate was measured, as well as its thermodynamic stability was estimated.
Zero Tillage (ZT) Potato Cultivation

Published: February 2022

Background: Minimum input and Maximum output are the new emerging trends in agriculture. To cope up with the sharp rise in population and limiting farm land, as well as to increase farm income there is an immediate need to increase the present cropping intensity. Such can be achieved when the long duration rice fallows are proficiently brought under intensive cultivation. Zero tillage technology is done without land preparation after harvesting the paddy; hence the cost of cultivation is less than the normal potato cultivation which in turn helps the farmers to get a better income. Methods: In Sonitpur and Barpeta district of Assam, zero tillage survey was incorporated recently; Potato can be grown in those rice fallows successfully. The zero-tillage practice would allow crop intensification and aid to additional farm income without much soil and environmental degradation as compared to any traditional practices. It’s time that farmers are made aware of these conservation agricultural practices for the greater good. Result: ZT-practice can benefit the farmers by cutting down the cost on labour and other expensive farm practices along with minimizing the associated risks of environmental degradation.

The management of solid waste is a major problem all over the globe. The techniques available for waste management are not so eco-friendly nor cheap, so, the biological methods seems to be the only way to find the solution for this problem. The termites have potential to digest cellulose due to the presence of diverse microbiota in their gut. Due to their large number and voracious feeding habit they can prove to be one of the best biological agents for management of solid waste.

Published: February 2022

The competency-based approach is currently introduced throughout the whole pre-school education system, and this process reveals the uncertainty, doubts, confusion, and unpreparedness of teachers for the implementation of this task. It also highlights the need to provide new guidance for the professional development of in-service teachers. The article presents the results of a survey on the professional needs of pre-school teachers for implementing a competency-based approach. The research data is obtained from focus group discussions, teacher surveys, and self-assessments from teachers’ professional development courses. The research data shows that the most topical professional development needs of pre-school teachers are linked to the need for an in-depth understanding of such components of competency-based approach as equity, meaningful assessment, personalized learning, transversal skills, and learning environments, allowing to identify the tasks for the professional development of teachers to promote a common understanding for implementing a competency-based approach in pre-school education.
