Currently, the main task of a bacteriological laboratory is the etiological diagnosis of the infectious process with a view of selecting a rational etiotropic therapy, as the use of antimicrobial drugs is one of the most frequently recommended methods for the treatment of most infectious diseases. The purpose — to evaluate the importance of the preanalytical stage in the organization of functioning of a bacteriological laboratory. Results. Obtaining accurate laboratory test results the patient is a single process, starting with prescribing the necessary laboratory examinations, preparing an assignment for the examination, instructing a patient about the preparation for testing or collecting the biological material, sampling of biological material and its delivery to the laboratory, receiving the results to provide the patient with the necessary medical care. The process of conducting laboratory research includes three independent stages: preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical. Special attention should be paid to the preanalytical stage, since medical personnel who collect and transport biomaterials do not always understand the importance of this process for obtaining a reliable final result. Conclusion. Thus, for high-quality implementation of the pre-analytical stage, each medical institution must develop an internal standard for performing procedures. Strict compliance with the rules for conducting the pre-analytical stage by the medical personnel will allow bacteriologists to obtain a high-quality and reliable result of laboratory tests.

Bronchial asthma (BA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) lead to chronic hypoxia associated with cognitive impair-ment drastically worsening the quality of life of patients. The purpose — to study the degree of cognitive impairment in patients with bronchial asthma and COPD hospitalized in the Pulm-onology Unit of Republic Clinical Hospital. Material and Methods. The study included 27 patients divided into two groups: 20 patients with bronchial asthma and 7 patients with COPD. All the participants were subjected to spirometry, pulse oximetry, and 6-minute walking test. Assessment of cognitive func¬tions was carried out with MoCA test, MMSE questionnaire, and Mini-Cog test. Results. No connection between gender and cognitive functions tests and between the diseases and cognitive functions tests were found with Mann — Whitney test. However, after the correlation analysis was performed, it revealed an association of Mini-Cog test results and pulmonary failure degree (p = 0,091083). Analysis of the correlation between cognitive disorders and pulmonary failure showed that the degree of pulmonary failure correlates with the Mini-Cog test results (p < 0,01). It proves the interconnection between cognitive deficit and pulmonary failure. Patients with bronchial obstructive syndrome showed a reliable correlation of cognitive disorders with age (p < 0,008) and pulmonary failure (р < 0,04). The research proved that patients with pulmonary failure degree 2 have more expressed cognitive disorders than patients with pulmonary failure degree 1. Conclusion. In patients with asthma and COPD the cognitive impairment was diagnosed, its severity correlating with the de¬gree of pulmonary failure.

The number of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased significantly in the recent decades. It was proved that one of the factors determining the survival and quality of life of geriatric patients with CKD is the nutritional status of patients. Protein-energy deficiency is widespread among elderly patients at the pre-dialysis stages of CKD, while no study of the nutritional status of this population of patients was conducted in Russia. The purpose was to study the prevalence of nutritional disorders in geriatric patients with CKD stage 3B–5. As a result of a survey of 190 patients aged 60 to 90 y. o. with CKD stages 3B–5 (GFR according to CKD-EPI <= 45 ml/min/1,73 m2), we found that this patient population is dominated by mild and moderate eating disorders — their prevalence was 53.5%. Symptoms of protein-energy deficiency were observed in 16.4% of patients. No significant differences were found between the indicators of nutritional status and the CKD stage. The nutritional status indicators correlated with the severity of anemia and hypoproteinemia.
Superare il guado. Riflessioni su archeologia, storia sociale e modelli di autorappresentazione delle disparità: alcuni esempi dalle comunità antiche e moderne
Authors: Acconcia Valeria
Published: February 2022

Starting from personal observations about contemporary expressions of gender / age / status-based exclusion and disparity, the paper aims at synthetizing the most relevant theoretical issues about possible ways of self-representation in “traditional” and ancient societies, through the analysis of case-studies from pre-roman communities in Central Italy, focusing on the role of the individuals, as they emerge mainly from the funerary record. After a brief review of the research history, the paper analyses the differences between the Middle-Thryrrenian peoples (as Etruscans, Faliscans and Latins) and those settled along the Middle-Adriatic coast. The formers are characterized by princely burial habits, which probably reflect the role of exceptionally rich individuals (both males and females); on the other hand, in the “Italic” regions of Abruzzo and Molise, the archaic communities seem to be organized on an egalitarian basis and with a lower visibility for adult women, although this may reflect a “contrastive” intent, emphasizing the differences with the wealthy Tyrrhenian lifestyle. Then, the paper outlines cases of inequality and abuse from the Veneto region and from Etruria and Latium vetus, connecting them also to the phenomenon of ancient and modern slavery and evidencing the impact of individual suffering as a possible incentive towards social change.

BACKGROUND: Obesity and leptin deficiency are associated with compromised bone regeneration. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the role of locally administrated low-dose BMP2+leptin on bone regeneration in leptin-deficient obese (ob/ob) mice. METHODS: Wildtype (WT) and ob/ob mice were divided into 3 groups (4 mice/group): BMP2 (5 μg) group, BMP2+low-dose leptin (1 μg) group, and BMP2+high-dose leptin (2.5 μg) group. WT mice were used as control mice. An equal size absorbable collagen sponge was prepared by loading the BMP2 or/and leptin and implanted subcutaneously. After 19 days, samples were collected and analyzed by micro-CT and H&E staining. RESULTS: No significant difference in bone regeneration among the three groups in WT mice. Quantification of newly formed bone parameters from micro-CT and H&E staining showed that low-dose BMP2 treatment formed less new bone in ob/ob mice compared to WT. BMP2+low-dose leptin treatment substantially rescued the compromised bone regeneration in ob/ob mice up to the level in WT mice. However, the BMP2 and high dose of leptin failed to rescue the compromised bone regeneration in ob/ob mice. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that a combination of the low-dose BMP2 and leptin could be a strategy to promote osteogenesis in obese populations with leptin deficiency.
On the Concept of a Global Public Interest: Some Reflections
Authors: Aguila Yann , de Bellis Marie-Cécile
Published: February 2022

The emergence of the global public interest stems from a shift in the notion of sovereignty that goes beyond the interest of a State per se. It comprises inevitability of the assertion of sovereignty in a state-centric international legal and global order. As growing numbers of international legal instruments factor in and use different nomenclatures to indicate quest to go beyond the narrow confines of ‘sovereignty’ to cater to need for co-existence with other nations and peoples, it calls for sensitivities in our pursuit for something ‘common’ on the planet earth. This article seeks to examine and contextualize the quest for a global common interest in the emerging scenario of deepening of the global environmental challenges and the need to find legal and institutional mechanisms for our survival. Can we chisel the existing tools and prioritize the common interest at the global level? What will it entail?

Dynamic optimal distributed resource planning for renewable energy based interconnected microgrids using teaching learning algorithm
Authors: Periasamy Madhumathi , Kaliannan Thenmalar
Published: February 2022

Distributed Generating (DG) units, Energy Storage Systems (ESS), Distributed Reactive Sources (DRS), and resilient loads make up the microgrid (MG), which can operate in both connected and isolated modes. Because the amount of power generated by Renewable Energy Sources (RES) such as Wind Energy Systems (WES) and Photovoltaic Energy Systems (PVES) is unpredictable, it becomes difficult for MGs planners to make judgments. In this article, the uncertainties caused by RES are resolved through the successful application of a hybrid optimization approach and the integration of hybrid DGs. The Teaching Learning Algorithm (TLA) is used in this study to determine the best site for DGs and reconfiguration, and heuristic fuzzy has been merged with TLA to handle multi-objectives such as total generation and emission cost minimization, and bus voltage deviation. In addition, the impact of replacing RES with hybrid DGs on RES performance is investigated. The ideal structures are determined by solving four different scenarios with the suggested approach, allowing DSO to make decisions with greater flexibility. The proposed technique is validated using a benchmark IEEE 33 bus system that has been converted into a microgrid. WES, PVES, and hybrid DGs are validated using a 24-hour daily load pattern with 24-hour load dispatching characteristic behaviors.

Authors: Brigante Fabiana
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: The Global Health Summit was held in Rome on 21 May 2021, co-hosted by the European Commission and Italy, as chair of the G20. Leaders, heads of regional and international organizations met to share lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and to define the path ahead. OBJECTIVE: The present paper analyses the Rome Declaration as the first global health programme shared among the G20 Member States and based on the One-Health approach. METHODS: Documents such as preparatory work, official documents and observations from international organizations were analysed in order to provide a comprehensive review of the Rome Declaration. RESULTS: Core principles of the Rome Declarations have emerged as well as the goal to improve cooperation among existing international organisations and national authorities. CONCLUSIONS: Governments’ future decisions will be the key to determine the end of the pandemic. The interconnected impacts on health, the environment, and social and economic dimensions will be a central theme of the overall narrative aiming at bringing the G20 process towards achieving a more inclusive and sustainable society.
Gender medicine as a tool for implementing the right to health
Authors: Rescigno Francesca
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the interest in the right to health, which represents a relatively new concept brought about by progress in medical science and the evolution of societies. The Italian Constitution, in article 32, states the right to health without specifications about the parameter of sex, assuming that this fundamental right is property of women and men indiscriminately. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the right to health has actually been achieved in an equal way from the standpoint of sex, and whether a hypothetically “neutral” approach is actually convincing and profitable in this context. METHODS: This paper analyzes the topic of gender medicine from a scientific and legal perspective, based on current medical literature and its implementation in the Italian and European legal systems. RESULTS: Gender medicine is the only credible response to sex- and gender-based inequalities affecting the right to health, as it provides tools to address persisting inequalities in prevention and treatment, thus pursuing health for all: women and men. CONCLUSIONS: The importance of this path was underlined also by the Summit and the Rome Declaration of 21 May 2021, acknowledging that the topic of sex and gender can no longer be overlooked in focusing a correct and equal healthcare approach.
Pulmonary rehabilitation and inspiratory muscle training for patients following lung transplantation: A pilot study
Authors: Graur Nissan , Dickstein Ruth , Weiner Paltiel , Weiss Israela , Kramer Mordechai R.
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation (LTx) is an established treatment option for patients with end-stage lung diseases. Nevertheless, exercise intolerance, respiratory muscle function impairment, functional disability, and peripheral muscle weakness often persist following LTx. PURPOSE: To examine the effectiveness of a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program and home-based inspiratory muscle training (IMT) alone or in combination, in post lung transplantation (LTx) patients. METHODS: In a prospective pilot study a sample of 22 patients who had undergone LTx 4–18 months prior, were randomized to groups of PR alone, or combined with home-based IMT, or IMT alone, for six months: four months in the intervention program and two months of follow-up. Inspiratory muscle strength was assessed by measuring the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). RESULTS: There was a statistically significant increase in MIP values as well as in the 6-min-walk-test, only in the PR combined with home-based IMT, and IMT exercise groups. From baseline after 2- and 4-months intervention and at 6-months at follow-up, there was a statistically significant correlation between MIP and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) values. CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program combined with inspiratory muscle training (IMT) or home-based IMT alone, in post lung transplantation patients, seems to be the best exercise combination for achieving the optimal effect, in inspiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity, with evidence for long-term benefits. Patients should be encouraged to participate in a PR program that includes home-based IMT exercise, especially in times of restricted mobility, as currently due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Person-to-business Instant payments in Colombia: would it stick?
Authors: Arango-Arango Carlos A. , Ramirez-Pineda Ana Carolina , Restrepo-Bernal Manuela
Published: February 2022

More than 60 countries in the world have already implemented instant payment systems (IPS). However, in many cases they have been operational mainly for person-to-person transactions. This study looks at the challenges IPS may face in developing economies like Colombia as they advance further into the person-to-business transactions space. Using a survey on Colombian merchants (IV-2020), the study explores the factors associated with merchants´ propensity to adopt instant payments and those associated with the adoption of current electronic payment alternatives. It shows that IPS will need to have a broad strategy to penetrate the person-to-business space, as they will have to compete with the low marginal costs and immediacy that cash already offers and the high levels of informality in the commerce sector, especially for micro businesses. Furthermore, IPS will have to meet the high expectations merchants have about instant payments enabling access to other financial services, enhancing their competitiveness, and increasing their bottom line.

Irrigation Management of HLB-Affected Trees
Authors: Kadyampakeni Davie Mayeso , Morgan Kelly T. , Zekri Mongi , Ferrarezi Rhuanito , Schumann Arnold W.
Published: February 2022

Water is a limiting factor in Florida citrus production during the majority of the year because of the low water holding capacity of sandy soils resulting from low clay and the non-uniform distribution of the rainfall. In Florida, the major portion of rainfall comes in June through September. However, rainfall is scarce during the dry period from February through May, which coincides with the critical stages of bloom, leaf expansion, fruit set, and fruit enlargement. Irrigation is practiced to provide water when rainfall is not sufficient or timely to meet water needs. Proper irrigation scheduling is the application of water to crops only when needed and only in the amounts needed; that is, determining when to irrigate and how much water to apply. With proper irrigation scheduling, yield will not be limited by water stress. With citrus greening (HLB), irrigation scheduling is becoming more important and critical and growers cannot afford water stress or water excess. Any degree of water stress or imbalance can produce a deleterious change in physiological activity of growth and production of citrus trees.  The number of fruit, fruit size, and tree canopy are reduced and premature fruit drop is increased with water stress.  Extension growth in shoots and roots and leaf expansion are all negatively impacted by water stress. Other benefits of proper irrigation scheduling include reduced loss of nutrients from leaching as a result of excess water applications and reduced pollution of groundwater or surface waters from the leaching of nutrients. Recent studies have shown that for HLB-affected trees, irrigation frequency should increase and irrigation amounts should decrease to minimize water stress from drought stress or water excess, while ensuring optimal water availability in the rootzone at all times.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD’s) are amongst the major congenital malformations contributing to infant mortality. Most CHDs are diagnosed in infancy. Later, in childhood or adolescence, CHD patients may present differently. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence, maternal risk factors and clinical profile of all children with CHD at a tertiary care centre in Bhopal. Materials and Methods: This prospective, observational study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Bhopal from Feb 2018 to Feb 2020. Approval from the ethical committee was obtained prior to the commencement of the study. Children up to 13 years of age, admitted with the features of CHD for the first time in out institution, were included in this study. A detailed history and clinical examination were carried out and a diagnosis of CHD was confirmed with 2D Echocardiography. Results: A total of 224 patients were admitted with the features of CHD for the first time during the study period. In our study, the commonest lesion was VSD (29.01%) followed by ASD (14.73%), PDA (12.5%), and TOF (9.37%). Among the clinical presentation, fast breathing (90.17%) was the most common symptom. Conclusion: In our study, VSD was found to be the most common acynaotic CHD and TOF was the most common cynotic CHD. The most common presenting feature was breathing difficulty. In order to improve prenatal detection of CHD’s, it is imperative to have a deep understanding of maternal risk factors.
Extended Self and Identity over Time
Authors: Grgić Ana , Novina Marina
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we discuss the Extended Self Hypothesis proposed by Andy Clark and David Chalmers, and address the objection that the extended self lacks stability and continuity needed to be considered identical over time. We try to show that such an objection is untenable. We also discuss the view according to which another type of self, i.e., the narrative self, can also be seen as extended, and argue that stability and continuity of this type of self is also not threatened by its extension beyond the boundaries of person’s body. Hence, at least as far
as these types of self are concerned, there is no need to confine ourselves to the internalized self when thinking about the problems of personal identity.

Pandemi COVID-19 berdampak pada kondisi
pelaksanaan
pelayanan imunisasi di posyandu, puskesmas, serta di
beberapa faskes
lainnya termasuk swasta.
Banyak dari
petugas kesehatan
yang
masih ragu-ragu untuk melakukan penyelenggara
a
n maupun sosialisasi pelayanan imunisasi pada masa COVID-19
dikarenakan adanya ketidaktahuan
serta tidak
adanya pedoman pelaksanaan imunisasi yang ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif untuk menggali persepsi dan respon ibu yang memiliki anak terhadap kecemasan pelayanan imunisasi di fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan. Terdapat 10 orang ibu (responden) yang  diwawancara dengan kuesioner penelitian beserta pendalaman persepsi dan respon ditiap pertanyaan.  Sebanyak 5 informan berusia 27 dan 28 tahun dengan 6 bayi tidak mengalami keterlambatan imunisasi dan 4 bayi lagi mengalami keterlambatan imunisasi. Alasan bayi terlambat imunisasi diantaranya karena bayi sakit ketika akan diimunisasi dan juga karena adanya pandemi COVID-19 yang membuat tempat pelayanan imunisasi seperti klinik, praktek bidan hingga rumah sakit tidak melayani imunisasi. Penerapan protokol kesehatan yang baik dalam pencegahan COVID-19 menjadi penting dalam akselerasi imunisasi pada masa pandemi
