Objective: The objective of the study was to look on the prevalence of six AMR genes (CTX-M, TEM, SHV, NDM-1, OXA-48, and VIM genes) in the province of the Arabian Gulf. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published studies from the Arabian Gulf countries and analyzed the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes pattern present in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Methods: The present study used the Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology as a guideline for reporting findings. An electronic search was conducted in online databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Web of Science from January 2014 to June 2020 following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles published were included in the study resistance pattern among 2036 isolates were analyzed. These isolates conferred the AMR genes including OXA-48 (n=500), CTX-M (n= 1796), SHV (n=1637), TEM (n=1492), NDM-1 (n=500), and VIM (n=302).

Results: Of 160 initially searched studies, 28 entries met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to meta-analysis. Critical appraisal of studies or quality assessment revealed a mean quality score was 4.2, with an SD of 1.6. The analysis revealed predominant AMR genes wereOXA-48 followed by CTX-M, SHV, TEM, NDM-1, and VIM in the Arabian Gulf region.

Conclusion: The Arabian Gulf countries share a high prevalence of OXA-48, CTX-M followed by SHV, TEM, NDM-1, and VIM genes. Antimicrobial-resistant in K. pneumoniae is a threat to public health and this needs strong surveillance to curb this threat.

Published: April 2021

Objective: During reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses, optimization of separation can be achieved by selecting appropriate chromatographic conditions. The retention time, peak shape, and peak size of chromatographic peaks are dependent on amount of organic modifier in the mobile phase and buffer pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of varying pH, acetonitrile composition and flow rate of the mobile phase, and temperature of the stationary phase and wavelength in the development of a method to separate Δ9 tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, and cannabinol.

Methods: Mobile phases with different buffer pHs and acetonitrile composition were used with ultraviolet (UV) detection wavelength of 220 nm and 228 nm. The AUPs and retention times were observed using different mobile phase flow rates and stationary phase temperatures.

Results: The best results were obtained when using a mobile phase composition of 20% phosphate buffer pH 2.5 or pH 3 and 80% acetonitrile v/v at a flow rate of 2 mL/min at 220 nm.

Conclusion: This rapid and easy-to-use HPLC method describes the effect of changing important chromatographic parameters on separation and retention time of cannabinoids and can be effectively applied for high throughput analysis.

Authors: DURGA MOHAN , DEVASENA THIYAGARAJAN
Published: April 2021

Objective: Phytochemicals are known to elicit potential antioxidant activity. This study examined the cardioprotective effects of quercetin against oxidative damage to rat cardiomyocyte cells (H9c2) after treatment with Diesel Exhaust Nanoparticles (DEPs) or Petrol Exhaust Nanoparticles (PEPs).

Methods: Cardiomyocyte cells were exposed to DEPs or PEPs alone and in a combination with quercetin for 24 h.

Results: Results showed that quercetin had no lethal effect on H9c2 cells up to a concentration of 1.0 μg/ml. Exposure to DEPs (4.0 μg/ml) or PEPs (10.0 μg/ml) induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation (p<0.05). It also provoked lipid peroxidation by an increase in MDA and a decrease in SOD activity and glutathione activity (p<0.05). Simultaneous addition of quercetin restored these parameters to near normal.

Conclusion: These results thus specify that quercetin plays a protective role in cardiac cells exposed to DEPs and PEPs.

Existe una creciente necesidad de que las bibliotecas utilicen datos confiables y accesibles para mostrar qué tan bien funcionan y en comparación con otras bibliotecas, ya que hay una reducción constante y cierre de instalaciones en todo el mundo. Un recurso para la evaluación son las estadísticas nacionales. Al investigar en cinco países, comparando 22 bibliotecas públicas y académicas, los investigadores tuvieron dificultades para encontrar indicadores clave de rendimiento en las estadísticas nacionales. Por lo tanto, comenzó otro proyecto de investigación que compara indicadores seleccionados de estas cinco estadísticas nacionales, describe los indicadores, compara su calidad y analiza qué indicadores faltan en algunos países. También se analizan otros aspectos: qué preguntas no pueden responder las estadísticas nacionales, pero qué significa que no todas las bibliotecas participan y entregan sus datos para su estadística nacional. A medida que crece la importancia de comparar los datos de las bibliotecas, también se realizará una breve exploración del Mapa de Bibliotecas del Mundo de la IFLA.

«THE LAST CIVIL GOVERNOR OF OLD FINLAND» – OFFICIAL ACTIVITY OF IVAN IVANOVICH WINTER ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN STATE HISTORICAL ARCHIVE
Authors:   Russian State Historical Archive, Bogdanova T.V.
Published: April 2021

The study of the pre-revolutionary institution of governorship, its interaction with the central authorities is extremely important. Objective coverage of historical events predetermines a diverse interest in both national and local characters. Military and civilian governors of Imperial Russia have always been at the center of the political, economic and cultural life of individual provinces. They had a significant impact on provincial life not only due to personal qualities, but also due to the prevailing attitude towards them in public consciousness. In terms of importance, the governor for local officials and ordinary people was in second place after the monarch, and sometimes on the same level with him. However, such a perception by the local society of the figure of the governor did not exclude the fact that people could be enrolled in this position only by coincidence. The decisive role was played by the position taken by the monarch and his immediate entourage, and the real volume of power and the well-being of the region depended on the degree of trust of the central authorities in this or the new governor. Not only talented leaders were appointed to the governor's posts in the Finnish province (Old Finland), but officials who necessarily had organizational and administrative-managerial experience. Based on the preserved archival documents, the article tells about one of them - Ivan Ivanovich Vintere, whose administrative "rise" and "fall" reveal the peculiarities of interaction of various levels in the vertical of power at the beginning of the 19th century.

Published: April 2021

Bio control strategies are gaining importance presently due to adverse effects caused by chemical pesticides on the environment. During our study, a total of 78 fungal endophytes were isolated from five medicinally important plants and evaluated for their efficacy in inducing resistance against the early blight pathogen caused by Alternaria solani. Among the isolates evaluated, only five endophytes were able to antagonize A. solani with a maximum inhibition of 58.53% offered by ENSM-08. All the antagonistic endophytes were molecularly identified based on ITS1 and ITS4 regions and sequence analysis was submitted to GenBank, NCBI to acquire accession numbers. In addition, seed treatment with the conidial suspension of the antagonistic fungal endophytes were able to enhance seed, vegetative and reproductive growth parameters in tomatoes with the highest enhancement observed upon the application of Pestalotiopsis microspora- ENSM-08. Also, seed treatments with select endophytes were also able to induce resistance in tomato plants against the early blight pathogen with a maximum protection of 70.25% observed in P. microspora- ENSM-08 treated plants. The results of the study validate the application of fungal endophytes as inoculants for sustainable agriculture.

Published: April 2021

Background: Children with metastatic neuroblastoma have inferior
survival despite therapeutic advances. Myeloablative chemotherapy
followed by stem cell transplantation, accepted as the current standard
of care, is not accessible to patients in many developing countries due
to resource constraints. We share our experience of treating metastatic
neuroblastoma in a non-transplant facility with conventional
chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. Method - Retrospective study of
children 1-14years of age treated for metastatic neuroblastoma in our
center from January 2008 to December 2017 Results – Eighty-nine
patients with metastatic neuroblastoma received treatment. Mean age was
3.5years and male:female ratio was 1.1:1. The commonest primary site was
suprarenal(55%) and commonest site of metastasis was bone marrow(76%).
40% patients had multiple metastatic sites. Mean baseline LDH was 3724
U/L(range303-16609 U/L) and most(65%) patients had
LDH>750U/L.53 patients(59.6%)had good response to
chemotherapy as evidenced by clearance of metastatic disease, but out of
them, 43 patients (81%) progressed subsequently. 26 patients underwent
surgery and 12 patients received maintenance therapy. 74 patients(86%)
developed recurrence and all but one died. Median time to recurrence and
death were 9months(range 0-120months) and 10months(range 1-123months)
respectively. At a median follow-up of 72months(range15-135months), 16
patients are alive, with 5-year disease-free survival and overall
survival of 17.6% and 18.4% respectively. Age, baseline LDH,
chemotherapy regimen and response to treatment affected survival.
Conclusion: Outcome of non-infant metastatic neuroblastoma remains
dismal in a non-transplant setting. Younger age, lower baseline LDH and
good response to chemotherapy appear to confer survival advantage, and
may be used for risk-stratification in developing countries.

Published: April 2021

A subtle aortic dissection can be challenging to detect despite the
availability of multiple diagnostic modalities. Whilst rare, the
inability to detect this variant of aortic dissection can lead to a
dismal prognosis. We present an extremely rare case of a subtle aortic
dissection with supraannular aortic root intimal tear and acute severe
aortic regurgitation in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve. Initial
concerns were either aortic dissection or infective endocarditis.
Despite advanced multimodality preoperative imaging, diagnosis was made
intraoperatively and a Bentall procedure with a mechanical aortic valve
was performed. As current data is limited, a literature review
concerning subtle aortic dissection is provided.

Authors: Santos Vanderlei dos , Beuren Ilse Maria , Theiss Viviane , Gomes Tayse
Published: April 2021

O estudo analisa a influência do desenho dos sistemas de controle gerencial (SCG) no desempenho de tarefas mediado pela aprendizagem organizacional. O desenho do SCG foi analisado a partir das características de escopo, tempestividade, agregação e integração das informações. Para o construto de aprendizagem organizacional, consideraram-se as dimensões de distribuição de informação e memória organizacional. Uma pesquisa de levantamento foi realizada com gestores de empresas de grande porte, selecionados pelo LinkedIn, e a amostra compõe-se dos 165 questionários válidos. Na análise dos dados utilizaram-se estatísticas descritivas e para testar as hipóteses aplicou-se a técnica de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Os resultados mostraram que as características informacionais presentes no desenho dos SCG contribuem para o processo de aprendizagem das organizações e para melhorar o desempenho de tarefas dos gestores. As características de escopo, tempestividade, agregação e integração das informações apresentam efeitos distintos e complementares na geração de conhecimento e no suporte às atividades dos gestores. Especificamente, o estudo evidencia que tanto o desenho dos SCG sob as características de escopo e tempestividade quanto a aprendizagem organizacional estão associadas positivamente ao desempenho de tarefas. A aprendizagem organizacional medeia parcialmente a relação entre desenho dos SCG e desempenho dos gestores. A associação direta e positiva entre desenho dos SCG e aprendizagem organizacional compele as empresas a configurar os SCG de modo que ofereçam informações amplas, agregadas e em tempo hábil para que o processo de aprendizagem ocorra e se reflita em melhora no desempenho de tarefas.
Hydrodynamics and mass transfer in Kühni extraction columns
Authors: Sovilj Milan , Spasojevic Momcilo
Published: April 2021

This work provides a review of hydrodynamic characteristics and mass transfer in the K?hni extraction columns. The experiments, as reported in the literature, were performed in the presence and absence of mass transfer. The results showed that the Sauter mean drop diameter was strongly affected by the rotor speed and interfacial tension, whereas the effects of the dispersed and continuous velocities were negligible. Empirical correlations for the Sauter mean drop diameter, taken from the literature, were discussed. It was experimentally determined that the dispersed-phase holdup depended to a great extent on the rotor speed, mass transfer direction between the phases, physical characteristics of fluids in the liquid-liquid system, and the dispersed-phase flowrate whereas it increased with the increase in mixing in the two-phase system and the ratio of phase flowrates. On the other hand, it has been shown that the mass transfer rate increases with increasing the level of back mixing. It was found that the mass transfer coefficient depends on the rotor speed and the direction of mass transfer between the phases. At the same time, it has been shown that the mass transfer coefficient depends relatively little on the phase flowrates. An empirical correlation was proposed for prediction of the overall mass transfer coefficient based on dimensionless numbers. Also, novel empirical correlations for prediction of the Sherwood number in the continuous phase were presented based on the dispersed-phase holdup, Reynolds number, and mass transfer direction between the phases. Empirical correlations based on dimensionless numbers can be considered as a useful tool for the design of the K?hni columns.

The study aims to describe the action of entrepreneur incubators in the internationalization process, from theoretical formulations to the emergence of the incubators and their main findings in the internationalization process, in the period between 1997 and 2011. Faced with this goal, the problem was thus characterized: Could entrepreneurial actions of incubators contribute to the internationalization process of Brazilian small and micro? The methodological procedures were based on an exploratory research by means of qualitative method, which consisted of documentary analysis and secondary data. As a result, it was found out that with respect to the internationalization process, both the entrepreneurial action and the business incubators have a key role in increasing Brazilian exports. However, there is still not a very intense movement by both entrepreneurship and incubators regarding activities targeting for external market, and particularly in today’s world suffering heavy impacts due to Pandemic crises.

This study aims to find the influence of corporate governance on firm performance for the listed non-financial firms on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for the period 2005-15.  The article has measured corporate governance by the large boards with more independent directors, independence of audit committee, ownership concentration, non-existence ofCEOduality, and presence of foreign and institutional investors. To address this endogenous nature of institutional ownership and performance in this study we have used instrumental variables (IV) techniques using a two-stage least square (2SLS) by instrumentalizing institutional ownership with firm size and firm age. The study found that firms with large and independent boards outperform their counterparts. Similarly, the study found that firms having the joint position ofCEOand chairperson performs lower than counterparts. In Pakistan firms with foreign and institutional owners better than others. We found that firms with concentrated owners have a lower level of agency problem and ultimately perform well. Furthermore, we found that firms with a lower level of agency problem type II (measured via ownership concentration contestability) perform better in Pakistan.
SIMULATION-BASED ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF GREEN ROOFS ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS IN A TROPICAL LANDSCAPE

Published: April 2021

Apart from the ever- increasing population of most tropical urban cities, high ambient temperature, deteriorated comfort conditions, highly polluted environments are but a few of the problems these cities are confronted with. In the long run, increase energy demands both for production and the provision of comfortable spaces becomes necessary even though it’s a very scarce resource. It is widely known that Urban heat island (UHI) can significantly affect building’s thermal performance and as such, this study was conducted to find out how green roof which is a mitigating factor can reduce the thermal discomfort in indoor spaces. By means of dynamic simulation in EnergyPlus software, a numerical comparative analysis between eight scenarios was done in a tropical climate of Ghana, taking into account climatological, thermal, and hydrological variables. Two factors: Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Soil depth were the main determinants of the comparative analysis.  From the results, 5 out of the 8 scenarios was seen to all have performed better leading to a 1.5°C temperature reduction. Out of the 5, LAI5/70-150mm and LAI2/500mm suggest that at every point, there could be a reduction in indoor temperature if either LAI is larger or substrate depth is deep. A larger LAI and a deeper depth could also produce a favorable results (LAI5/500mm) though after a certain threshold, their effect weakens. Based on the findings, it is highly recommended that green roofs becomes part of the solution towards the fight against indoor thermal discomfort and not mechanical ventilation which could have a dire consequence on an already scare resource which is energy.
A SUSTENTABILIDADE SOB A PERSPECTIVA DO TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE NAS PEQUENAS EMPRESAS DE PRODUTOS VEGANOS

Published: April 2021

Economic and industrial development have enabled people to live better by developing products and services that make their lives easier. However, these processes generate impacts that have been increasingly questioned as to the forms of mitigation. Many companies already seek to analyze their processes from the perspective of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), or Sustainability Tripod, considering the dimensions: financial, environmental and social. In this context, a market that has been developed in recent years is the one of vegan products, since its consumers have sustainable balance as one of their ideals. Innovation oriented to sustainability or sustainable innovation is related to innovations that contribute to TBL. This work aimed to analyze the sustainable innovation practices adopted by small companies of vegan products and to identify their contributions to each of the three dimensions of the TBL. Multiple case studies were carried out, the information was collected through semi-structured interviews with the managers of the organizations and subsequently, a content analysis was made for the sustainable practices adopted by the companies. It can be observed that companies adopt several innovation practices oriented to sustainability in the environmental dimension, such as reverse logistics of packaging, the use of biodegradable or reusable resources, energy and water saving policy and selection of sustainable suppliers. In the social sphere, health and safety practices at work, use of personal protective equipment, training, promotion of events and social projects were identified. These practices, in general, increased revenues by attracting more consumers to their products and improving the company's image. Therefore, the small companies of vegan products that were surveyed develop practices aimed at balancing the sustainable tripod, generating environmental and social value, and not just obtaining economic gains.
