Investigation of diamine oxidase as a biomarker of intestinal mucosal injury in calves exposed to antibacterial treatment
Authors: Alıç Ural Deniz
Published: December 2024

Diamine oxidase (DAO) (alternatively old-fashioned name histaminases), as being an enzyme in high concentrations, support the integrity and maturation of small intestine. Histamine intoxication and related issues are suggested to exist lacking enzyme diamine oxidase. Enrollment of the gastrointestinal mucosa in several diseases, along with influence of some medications seemed to diminish gastrointestinal DAO activity. The aim of this study was to investigate intestinal mucosal injury in sick calves exposed to antibiotic treatment. In accordance with the inclusion criteria, 20 sick calves with gastroenterologic or respiratory system problems exposed to antibiotic treatment for >3 weeks and 10 other healthy calves were evaluated. Commercially available DAO ELISA kit: Bovine Diamine Oxidase ELISA Kit and Sandwich ELISA-mediated DAO assays were performed. In this study, the mean DAO (ng/mL) level was determined as 5.552 in sick calves exposed to antibiotic treatment, while the mean value was determined as 16.48 in healthy calves in the comparative evaluation (p<0.001). The data obtained suggest that DAO activity may be affected in calves exposed to antibiotic treatment for at least 3 weeks.
Antimicrobial activity of Lactobacillus cell free supernatant against Salmonella Enteritidis and Infantis
Authors: Hacıoğlu Özgenur , Türkyılmaz Süheyla
Published: December 2024

Cell-free supernatants (CFS) produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been characterized as natural antagonists of important pathogens, including Salmonella. Their bacteriostatic or bactericidal properties have been reported to serve as an alternative to antibiotics by minimizing problems related to antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of CFS of 4 selected LAB strains belonging to Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (2 strain), Limosilactobacillus reuteri (1 strain), and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (1 strain) species against Salmonella Enteritidis and Infantis serovars by the agar-well diffusion method. Cell-free culture media of lactic acid bacteria were used in either crude CFS (acidic) and neutralized form (NCFS) to also understand non-pH-dependent antimicrobial potential. All crude CFSs were found to exhibit antimicrobial activity against pathogens, ranging from moderate to strong. After pH neutralization, the crude CFS of L. paracasei (2 strains) lost their antimicrobial activity, except for the crude CFS produced by L. reuteri and L. rhamnosus. However, there was a significant decrease in the level of anti-Salmonella activity of L. rhamnosus NCFS. It was determined that L. reuteri NCFS continued to show antimicrobial activity at levels similar to the effects of crude CFS. It is thought that the antibacterial activity of L. reuteri and L. rhamnosus CFS determined in the research does not depend only on their acidity and that the chemical characterization of the postbiotics, which is the source of this antimicrobial activity, should be evaluated.
Lithium deposits from the mesoarchean to present: their types, distribution in geological time, explored resource base

Published: December 2024

The distribution of lithium deposits and lithium resources contained in them are analyzed throughout geological time. The basis for the analysis is data on 164 deposits from around the world with resources estimated above 100 thousand tons of Li 2 O, representing almost the entire explored resource base attractive in the modern and near future conditions to extract this element. The variability of various aspects of their formation in geological time is demonstrated by comparing supercontinent cycles in terms of the quantity and quality of resources in deposits of different types, ages, and tectonic position. It has been established that lithium deposits have an extremely uneven pulsed distribution on the geological time scale. The Kenoran, Columbian, and Rodinian cycles are represented only by the pegmatite type deposits, which intensity of formation decreased in this raw. In the Pangean cycle, it increased again, approaching the Kenoran level. In addition, the first deposits of a granite type appeared. In the current Amasian cycle, deposits of the granite type quantitatively predominate over the pegmatite type, but they both yield quantitatively to the clay type deposits only appeared in this cycle. In terms of the resources, all these three types with solid ores are inferior to deposits associated with brines in salars, geothermal and oil-and-gas fields. All deposits from the Kenoran to Pangean cycles were formed in collision belts at the post-orogenic stage of their development. In the Amasian cycle, continuity in this aspect was preserved, but deposits of granite and clay types formed in the back zones of active continental margins were also established. Deposits in salars also have these two tectonic positions. Geothermal deposits are known within the framework of collisional orogens and on active continental margins. Oil-and-gas fields have been explored only in the sedimentary covers of ancient platforms. Currently, objects of pegmatite and salar types are of maximum importance for the world economy, and the granite type deposits are of less significance. All of them are traditional for lithium extraction. In the pegmatite type, the Kenoran deposits have the highest degree of industrial development, in the granite type – deposits of the Amasian cycle. In recent years, single deposits of clay, geothermal and oil-and-gas field types began to be involved in the exploitation, as well as representatives of the salar type with brine compositions that have not been suitable for conventional technologies.
“Strange behaviours” of parents at the nest in an avian prey species as a potential source of bias when studying nest predation and signs left by different predators
Authors: Morozov N. S.
Published: December 2024

In most passerines, parent birds clean their nests. Egg shells, fecal sacs, and dead nestlings, as well as foreign objects, for example, leaf and twig debris, as they appear, are usually removed from nests in one or another way. If, for one reason or another (nest predation, inclement weather, starvation etc.), all offspring die, parents abandon the nest with egg or/and nestling remains. Finding one or another nest empty and intact before the earliest possible fledging date, observers who monitor nests usually attribute the failure to predation. Automated cameras placed at 148 Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) nests in 2016–2020 to study nest predation in Moscow City, Russia documented two cases of sanitation (by females) of entire and almost entire (all but one dead nestling) broods of dead nestlings that had died due to inclement weather. This information is one of the very few, probably the second, and for Eurasian species probably the first published evidence of such a behaviour in passerines. In addition, eight cases of removal by parents of the traces of predation were recorded immediately or soon after (within 0.1– 4.2 hours) complete depredation of nest contents: eating at the nest or the removal by parents of egg shells, remains of egg contents, as well as feathers lost by parents as a result of predator attacks, an active or passive elimination of disturbances in the lining of the nest cup. Complete or partial “concealment of evidence” by parents occurred in about every four depredated nests, including those in which predators did not leave any “evidence”. The removal by parents of all evidence of clutch/brood failure that had happened for any reason, not only due to predation, was recorded in approximately every third nest from which all offspring disappeared without a trace before the earliest possible fledging date. These behaviours of parents could possibly be considered as bringing them to the point of absurdity, “by inertia”, a sequence of stereotypic actions to maintain cleanliness, as well as the lining of the nest. An observation was also made of a female adding fresh lining to the nest cup on top of a dead, ca. 7-day old nestling from the failed previous brood and then laying a replacement clutch. All these cases are interesting not only because they provide new information on parental behaviour in the Fieldfare. These “strange behaviours” are also a potential source of bias when studying nest predation and signs left by different predatory species with traditional methods for monitoring the nests, with neither video monitoring nor automatic photography. Furthermore, it must not be excluded that, under some circumstances, even estimates of the relative frequency of different causes of nest failure can be biased due to these behavioural curiosities. That is why it is important to know how many and how frequently do bird species show similar behaviours.

Education and financial literacy are very important to increase community understanding in managing finances, including housewives. Lack of financial literacy can make people tend to invest in real form, such as buying a house or land, which is difficult to resold. In an effort to increase financial literacy, the Jakarta State Polytechnic Financial Management Study Program held training in Sawangan, Depok, for 40 members of the Dharma Wanita Unity BSSN. The training was carried out in a luring with two main activities: lectures and discussions about financial literacy, as well as investment simulation assistance using stockbit applications. The activity began with a pre-test and ended with a post-test, showing an increase in participants' knowledge, with an average score of the final test rising from 83.21 to 95.32. The statistical test using SPSS shows significant changes (p <0.05). For two weeks of assistance, 12% of participants managed to invest in stocks. The activity was closed with the formation of the WhatsApp group to continue to assist participants in capital market investment. In the future, the Community Service Team plans to expand the reach of activities to other cities around Depok, so that more people can feel the benefits.

Increasing public health awareness is an important strategic issue to be handled by local governments, especially in the Depok City area. This strategic issue is handled directly by the Depok City Health Service. This is a result of the lack of public health awareness, which is a challenge in health promotion efforts in Depok City. Several technical obstacles were encountered in the field related to limited technical capabilities in using software to create educational and promotional media using technology. This technical ability can be overcome by providing counseling and technical assistance using a selection of simple, smartphone-based tools. This training involved 60 health promoters from community health centers and regional hospitals in Depok City. The pretest results, which illustrate the success of the community service process, stated that 47.2% of health promotion workers rarely received multimedia training, and 17.85% felt that there had never been any multimedia training. Positive responses were given by the participants, as shown by the results of the implementation of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional multimedia.

An entity's financial performance, position, and cash flows are structurally represented in financial statements, which also capture management's accountability for financial resources. To safeguard the credibility of financial information and bolster public trust, the public accounting profession is instrumental in rendering opinions on the reliability of these financial statements. To validate these financial statements and form views about the fairness of the financial information given, independent auditors conduct an audit procedure. The assessment of financial statements is greatly impacted by the audit judgment, which is an essential part of the auditing process. The impact of professional skepticism on audit judgment is investigated in this study. This study also investigates auditor experience's potential to function as a moderating variable. A total of 76 auditors from public accounting companies registered in Bali Province were the samples evaluated. Purposive sampling was used in this study to choose the sample, and auditors with at least a year of experience were required. Both linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA) are the analysis methods employed. The analysis's findings demonstrate that professional skepticism improves audit judgment. The association between audit judgment and professional skepticism cannot be mitigated by audit expertise. The results imply that the relationship between professional skepticism and the caliber of audit judgment is not always strengthened by auditor experience. It appears that both seasoned and inexperienced auditors are capable of exhibiting professional skepticism and rendering sound audit decisions.

Taxation plays a crucial role in Indonesia as it serves as a significant revenue source for the country. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly important in the economic landscape of Indonesia. This study underscores the significance of tax compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises, particularly in light of global economic challenges and the essential need for tax revenues. Tax compliance is a critical determinant in sustaining government functions and fostering economic growth in Indonesia. It is vital for governments to fulfill their financial obligations, including the provision of public goods, national defense, and support for economic development. However, factors such as tax socialization, understanding of tax regulations, and the application of tax knowledge influence the level of compliance among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The objectives of this research were to examine the impact of the self-assessment system on tax compliance among MSMEs in Indonesia, and to investigate the mediating role of tax socialization in the relationship between the self-assessment system and tax compliance. This study examined micro, small, and medium-sized business taxpayers in Denpasar City, utilizing a sample size of 100 taxpayers selected through simple random sampling. The findings indicate that self-assessment systems have a positive impact on the compliance behavior of these MSME taxpayers. However, the results suggest that tax socialization does not significantly moderate the relationship between the self-assessment system and taxpayer compliance.
Studi Eksperimental Substitusi Fly Ash 30%, 35% dan 40 % Pada Beton SCC Terhadap Waktu Ikat, Flowability, Porositas dan Kuat Tekan Beton dalam Resistensi Asam Sulfat
Authors: Jaelani Bagus , Abriantoro Adji Putra
Published: December 2024

Kualitas beton sering kali terpengaruh oleh kurangnya pemadatan yang optimal. Teknologi Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) menawarkan solusi dengan kemampuannya untuk mengalir sendiri dan mengisi cetakan tanpa pemadatan manual. Namun, produksi semen yang diperlukan untuk beton berdampak buruk bagi lingkungan karena menyumbang sekitar 5% dari total emisi CO2. Fly ash merupakan limbah dari PLTU yang menjadi alternatif dengan mengurangi kebutuhan semen. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh substitusi fly ash pada beton SCC dengan kadar 0%, 30%, 35%, dan 40% terhadap waktu pengikatan, flowability, porositas dan kuat tekan beton pada umur 28 hari dengan perendaman dalam larutan asam sulfat sebesar 2% selama 21 hari. Pengujian dilakukan di Laboratorium Bahan dan Konstruksi Fakultas Teknik Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Jakarta. Penelitian menunjukkan hasil tertinggi substitusi fly ash terjadi di kadar 40% dengan hasil peningkatan waktu ikat awal sebesar 100% (initial setting), peningkatan 77% (final setting), peningkatan flowability sebesar 12% namun menurunkan angka porositas hingga 39% dan meningkatkan kekuatan dan ketahanan beton SCC terhadap asam sulfat sebesar 58% dibandingkan beton SCC normal tanpa fly ash. Terlihat bahwa semakin tinggi kandungan fly ash dalam campuran beton SCC dapat meningkatkan kekuatan, ketahanan terhadap asam sulfat dan efisiensi dalam pengerjaan beton SCC, namun dapat memperpanjang waktu perkerasan beton SCC itu sendiri
NONSPECIFIC ANTIINFECTIVE PROTECTION IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19 DEPENDING ON GENE POLYMORPHISM, DISEASE SEVERITY AND COMORBIDITY
Authors: Sokolenko M.O.
Published: December 2024

Background. The level of antiinfective protection is important in the comprehensive assessment of the immune status of patients, the study of which will provide an opportunity to develop a high-quality set of therapeutic and preventive measures to improve the effectiveness of medical care for patients with COVID-19.
Aim: to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the level of nonspecific antiinfective protection in patients with COVID-19 depending on the polymorphism of the genes TMPRSS2 (C-allele; rs12329760), FGB (G-allele; rs1800790) and eNOS (T-allele; rs2070744), the severity of the disease and the combination with comorbidities.
Materials and methods. We examined 204 patients with coronavirus infection who were hospitalized in the Infectious Diseases Department of the Uman Central City Hospital during 2021-2023, among the patients there were 51.97% (106) women, 48.03% (98) men, the average age of patients was 55.93±8.75 years. Comorbidity was retrospectively established in patients participating in the cohort study: 82 patients had concomitant cardiovascular disease; 46 patients were diagnosed with endocrine pathology; 76 patients had other comorbidities, which were grouped into one group “Other comorbidities”. The polymorphism of the TMPRSS2 (rs12329760), FGB (rs1800790) and NOS3 (rs2070744) genes was investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real Time PCR) in 96 patients. The level of nonspecific antiinfective protection of patients was determined by the following indicators: neutrophil granulocyte response, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil shift index, neutrophil-monocyte ratio, etc.
Results. It has been established that the reactive response of neutrophil granulocytes (NG) is higher in patients with COVID-19 who carry the wild G-allele (especially the GG genotype) of the FGB gene (rs1800790) - by 60, 0% (p=0.007), TT-genotype of the TMPRSS2 gene (rs12329760) - by 41.38% (p=0.012) and wild T-allele of the NOS3 gene (rs2070744) - by 29.87% (p=0.046). Severe and, to a lesser extent, moderate COVID-19 is accompanied by a lower level of cellular nonspecific resistance - by 34.33% (p<0.001), nonspecific reactivity and reactive response - by 45, 34% (p=0.002) and 15.02%, with a worse response to endo- and exo-intoxication in coronavirus infection with lower leukocyte intoxication indices (LII) by 29.56-41.50% (p≤0.049-0.003). Comorbidities significantly worsen the clinical and laboratory course of COVID-19: the lowest cellular reactivity with the highest reactive response of NG was found in comorbidity with cardiovascular disease against the background of more severe endogenous intoxication - by 38.60% (p<0.001) and 30.21-40.0% (p≤0.032-0.017), respectively.
Conclusion. Polymorphism of FGB (rs1800790), TMPRSS2 (rs12329760), NOS3 (rs2070744) genes, disease severity and comorbidities have different effects on nonspecific antiinfective protection in patients with COVID-19.
PRINCIPLES OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CONGENITAL UNILATERAL CLEFT UPPER LIP AND PALATE: BIOMECHANICAL JUSTIFICATION
Authors: Filonenko V.V.
Published: December 2024

Background. Treatment of children with congenital cleft lip and palate (CLP) begins at birth and continues until adulthood, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Each of the stages of orthodontic interventions has certain features.
Aim: to conduct a biomechanical substantiation of the principles of orthodontic treatment of patients with unilateral CLP.
Material and methods. An interdisciplinary approach was analyzed and a biomechanical justification of the principles of orthodontic treatment of 137 children (average age 9.3±4.2 years) was given, using the example of patient Р., who applied to the clinic at the age of 5 with a diagnosis of congenital left-sided cleft upper lip, alveolar process, hard and soft palate after cheilorhinoplasty and veloplasty.
Results. A complex diagnostic examination of patients with CLP included collection of anamnesis, clinical subjective and objective methods. A simulated and discrete model was created to simulate the movements of parts of the biomechanical system, which included the orthodontic appliance and the upper jaw, from 360° angular movements. At the same time, calculated force vectors with an amplitude of 50 N were used. The X-ray density of the compact layer of bone tissue under the influence of loads was determined. Characteristic features of the formation of dentognathic deformities in patients with CLP and the dynamics of their orthodontic treatment were revealed using morphometric and anthropometric measurements of scanned models of jaws.
Conclusion. In the treatment of children with CLP, it is important to follow a coordinated rehabilitation algorithm; success depends on timely and topographically and functionally prepared surgical interventions and consistent orthodontic correction with the determination of patterns of changes in the stress-strain state and the magnitude of deformation displacements of unfused fragments of the upper jaw.
Conversión ecológica para una ecología integral

Published: December 2024

El trabajo analiza la necesidad de una conversión ecológica para que exista una ecología integral. Hace una hermenéutica de la conversión como un “girarse” desde sí mismo hacia una vida basada en el Amor recibido, recogido y reflejado que pone a la persona en relación con Dios, con uno mismo, con los demás y con la naturaleza. A través de narrativas de conversión como la de María de Magdala y Jonás, pone de manifiesto la orientación de la vida hacia un Amor que nos hace agraciados, agradecidos y activos. Los ejemplos del agua (ODS 6) y el hambre (ODS 2) sirven para evidenciar la interdisciplinariedad que exige abordar la ecología de una manera realmente integral.

Authors: Özcan Nurcan
Published: December 2024

The research was conducted to define the empathy tendency levels and honesty value levels of secondary school students and to determine whether there is a relationship between them by examining them according to variables such as gender and grade level. The research is quantitative research and the general screening model was determined as the research model. The research group of the study includes a total of 388 students studying in secondary school at the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade levels. “Empathic Tendency Scale” and “Honesty Tendency Scale” are data collection tools. In line with the purpose of the study, the data were subjected to statistical procedures such as arithmetic mean, correlation analysis test, t-test, and ANOVA test. As a result of the findings, it was seen that secondary school students had more empathy tendency skills than honesty values. According to empathy tendency levels, it was observed that male students and female students were more similar to each other in terms of honesty value levels, and there was no relationship between honesty value levels and empathy tendency levels. It was observed that there was a statistically significant difference between the empathy tendency level and the gender variable (the empathy tendency level was lower in male students than in female students), but there was no statistically significant difference between the gender variable and the honesty value. There is a statistically significant difference between the grade level variable and empathy tendency and honesty value (sixth-grade students' empathy tendency levels are lower than other grade levels, and eighth-grade students' honesty value levels are higher than other grades).

Physiological and biochemical blood parameters in Simmental heifers in postnatal ontogenesis of different types of constitution are presented. The physiological and selection index was calculated on the basis of digital indicators of the intensity of transamination enzymes and body weight of heifers in the corresponding periods of growth. It is shown that at the age of 6 months it is possible to assess the young, in this case heifers, by the type of constitution. The number of erythrocytes in the blood of heifers at 6, 12, 18 months old in the experimental group was higher than that of the control ones by 4.25; 9.91; 9.82 %, respectively. On average, over the entire period of rearing, the animals of the experimental group exceeded the control counterparts by 7.92 %. In terms of hemoglobin content in the blood, the experimental heifers at the ages of 6, 12, 18 months exceeded the control counterparts by 8.20; 10.83; 10.90 %, respectively. On average, over the entire period of rearing, the animals of the experimental group exceeded the control counterparts by 7.64 %. In terms of total protein content in the blood serum, the heifers at the ages of 6, 12, 18 months old in the experimental group exceeded the control counterparts by 7.47; 15.23; 8.64 %. On average, over the entire growing period, the animals of the experimental group outnumbered the control counterparts by 8.09 %. Another important indicator, which also characterizes protein metabolism in the animal body, is the activity of aminotransferases in the blood serum. In terms of AST activity in the blood serum, on average over the entire period of growing animals, the experimental group exceeded the control group by 11.78 %. A similar pattern was found in terms of ALT activity in the blood serum. Thus, the heifers of the experimental group in terms of ALT activity in the blood serum at 6, 12, 18 months old exceeded the control peers by 4.72; 8.13; 8.01; 10.28 %, respectively. In terms of the content of total sulfhydryl groups in the blood of heifers of the experimental group at 6, 12, 18 months, they were superior to the control analogues by 10.85; 27.50; 23.44; 18.01 %, respectively. In terms of the content of residual SH-groups in the blood of animals of the experimental group in postnatal ontogenesis, they were superior to the control analogues by 24.34 %. Experimental heifers in terms of total glutathione content at the age periods of 6, 12, 18 months old exceeded control counterparts by 8.38; 20.25; 7.44; 5.48 %, respectively. A similar pattern was observed in terms of reduced glutathione content in the blood of experimental animals. Thus, in terms of reduced glutathione content in the blood of individuals of the experimental group for the entire period of cultivation, they exceeded control peers by an average of 9.56 %.
