The effects of free-roaming cats on native wildlife populations
Authors: Reed Leslie
Published: October 2022

Free-roaming cats pose a threat to wildlife in several ways, including predation, disease transmission and food competition. They have been specifically implicated in at least 33 bird extinctions, primarily on islands, making them one of the most important causes of bird extinctions worldwide (Danner et al. 2010). Free-roaming cats are extremely dangerous to wildlife, not only due to the internal and external trauma that can be caused by their bites and claws, but also from the bacteria present in their saliva. They are also responsible for the spread of several zoonotic diseases, including rabies. Free-roaming cats compete with other wild animals for the same food source and can quickly take over a wild animal’s territory and habitat. The outdoor cat’s lifespan is one-third of that of indoor cats due to the high potential for predation, starvation, disease, exposure and being hit by a vehicle. One solution to the problem of free-roaming cats is a method called “Trap-Neuter-Release” (TNR), in which feral cats are humanely captured, spayed or neutered by a veterinarian and then released back to where they were originally found. The best solution to the problem of free-roaming cats is public education. Veterinarians can and should play a major role in this educational effort.
Papillomatosis in a raccoon (Procyon lotor)
Authors: Sanz Alexandra , Miller Erica , Harley Nikki , Coffee Laura
Published: October 2022

Papillomaviruses are species-specific double-stranded DNA viruses with at least 50 species of mammals. Although well-studied in humans, papillomaviruses in the raccoon (Procyon lotor) are not well characterized, and few cases have been published. Therefore, when the disease is encountered in a rehabilitation center, definitive diagnosis and treatment in the raccoon can be unclear. This case study outlines the characteristic gross and histologic lesions of an affected individual to facilitate identification and treatment of this disease in the future. In the case of this juvenile raccoon, ulcerated exophytic lesions on the bridge of its nose and right forelimb digit were seen grossly, with the presence of koilocytes and hyperkeratosis observed histologically. These findings are consistent with other documented cases of papillomavirus in raccoons and canines. Affected raccoons do not require extensive treatment, as raccoon papillomatosis is considered self-limiting.

Published: October 2022

This study confirms that the implementation of Islamic teachings is very flexible in the midst of society. This statement is in line with the situation and conditions that make the Indonesian Muslim community feel confused when suddenly some worship services are canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic. The formulation of fiqh al-aubiah is considered to have had such a great effect on the Indonesian Muslim community. This is due to the position of fiqh as a guide in the implementation of worship, especially its technical implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to provide an overview of the methodology of extracting law in the formulation of fiqh al-aubiah. By using usul fiqh and sociology approaches, this study tries to describe the formulation of fiqh that is adapted to the real conditions in society. For this reason, the implication of this research is to be the best solution for the Indonesian Muslim community in the convenience of carrying out worship and at the same time eliminating forms of doubt and anxiety in the implementation of worship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study are related to the solution of Islamic law problems in society, which includes the formulation as follow. First, the law of eliminating Friday prayers and congregational prayers. Second, the law adheres to health protocols. Third, the law of vaccination. Fourth, the law of the implementation of the swab while fasting.

Authors: Mohemmed D , Koheil S
Published: October 2022

Purpose: To detect the retained excess resin cement around tissue and bone level dental implants following two different cementation techniques.  Methods: Fourteen tissue level and fourteen bone level implants (OCO Biomedical, U.S.A.) were embedded in models (Salvin Dental Specialties, U.S.A.) having rubber surface simulating the gingiva. Twenty-eight metal copings were fabricated and cemented to the implant’s abutments by RelyX U200 resin cement (3M, U.S.A.). Each group was subdivided according to the cementation technique into two subgroups: A1 and B1: Tack cure of the excess cement for three seconds, the partially set resin cement was carefully removed before complete cure. A2 and B2: 1mm vent was performed on the occlusal surfaces. Excess cement was carefully removed followed by a final cure. Rubber coverage was removed, retained cement net weight was determined. All specimens were visually examined under 30x magnification using Stereomicroscope (SZ-11, Japan). Results: Tissue level implants following the tack cure protocol had less retained excess cement percentage than the occlusal vent protocol. Statistical comparison showed a significant difference in the excess cement percentage within the tissue level subgroups (p=0.018), No significant difference observed within the bone level subgroups (p=0.096).

In the present study, the kiwifruit puree was incorporated into the ice cream mix at different concentration levels of 3, 6, 9, and 12%. The formulated ice cream samples were investigated for physicochemical properties (fat, protein, total solids, pH, and ash), textural properties (meltdown, viscosity, overrun, firmness), and free radicle scavenging activity (DPPH), and overall acceptability. An increase in the kiwifruit puree resulted in a decrease in the fat content, protein content, pH, and total solids content while the ash % was increased. Better textural properties were observed for the ice cream formulations with the addition of kiwifruit puree thus a significant effect was observed in meltdown, viscosity, overrun, and firmness with increasing the puree concentration. Ice cream samples with a maximum level of kiwifruit puree also showed higher free radical scavenging activity and overall acceptability. The results showed that the most preferred formulation was the ice cream containing 12% kiwifruit puree (T4).

Introduction: The menstrual cycle is a natural phenomenon that occurs in two phases: follicular and luteal. Several hormonal, physical and psychological changes occur during this period, which influence the female diet. These changes and consequences are felt mainly in the luteal phase, that is between 1 to 5 days before the menstrual flow, characterizing the premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual tension (PMS). Objective: This article aims to evaluate food intake and dietary changes in adult women of reproductive age during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Methods: Quali-quantitative descriptive exploratory study, carried out with 207 female students, between 18 and 41 years of age, from all courses at a University Center in northwestern São Paulo. An online questionnaire was applied via Google Forms with closed and open questions that characterized the sample regarding the participants' personal and dietary aspects in the luteal phase. The work complied with Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council and was approved by the Ethics Committee and all participants signed the Informed Consent Term. Results: It was observed that there was a predominance of women aged between 19 and 22 years (64.25%). With regard to physical symptoms in the luteal phase, 95.65% of women reported having at least one symptom, such as swollen and/or painful breasts (67.7%) and colic (55.1%). Regarding the intensity of food craving, 5.3% of the women reported no changes, 10.6% had low intensity (mild), 50.7% had moderate intensity, 27.5% had high intensity (high) and 5, 8% very high intensity (severe). According to the change in dietary pattern, among the foods presented, 85% of the participants claimed to have a higher consumption of sugars and sweets during this period and 38.6% higher consumption of carbohydrates, representing most of the responses collected. It was found that food cravings among the participants occurred with high frequency in 91.78% of the cases, with emphasis on the high craving for sweets (87%) and fast food (33.8%). The increase in food consumption in the luteal phase was significant, as it was present in 70.5% of women. Conclusion: The luteal phase interferes with the pattern and intensity of food craving, as well as with the increased intake of macronutrients, especially carbohydrates, sugars and sweets.

Published: October 2022

The research identified the best fit model of personal resilience among 400 adolescents during a pandemic in Region XII, Philippines. A quantitative non-experimental method employing descriptive-correlation approach was utilized. The study applied mean, multiple regression, Pearson-product moment correlation, and structural equation modeling in analyzing the data. Results exhibited that the three exogenous variables, specifically, social support, self-efficacy, and spirituality, and the endogenous variable which is personal resilience were very high. The exogenous variables significantly influence the endogenous variable with spirituality as the best predictor of personal resilience. The best-fit model recognized the important connection of the three exogenous variables with personal resilience. The best fit model accentuated and established that social support, indicated by emotional support and instrumental support; self-efficacy, indicated by persistence; and spirituality, indicated by a feeling of security and mindfulness influenced and best predict the personal resilience of adolescents during a pandemic as indicated by novelty-seeking and emotional regulation. Nonetheless, social support, self-efficacy, and spirituality abetted adolescents to develop personal resilience to handle distress and cope during the pandemic.
Ambivalent Choices of Hui Muslim Intellectuals under the Mengjiang Regime
Authors: Tuo Jianing
Published: October 2022

The Mengjiang (蒙疆) regime was a puppet regime in Inner Mongolia established by the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Many historians only examine the Mongols in Mengjiang. Few studies focus on the Hui Muslim group under the Mengjiang regime. Wu Yaocheng (吳耀成, 1908-1991) was a prominent post-war minority educator in Inner Mongolia. However, as a Hui intellectual under Japanese colonial rule, Wu became the dean of the Baotou Branch of the Islamic Association of the Northwest (Xibei huijiao lianhehui Baotou fenzhibu 西北回教聯合會包頭支部) in Mengjiang and spoke up on behalf of the Mengjiang Hui Muslims when they were compelled to accept “help” from the Japanese. This study examines the way in which Hui intellectuals developed a modern Islamic education system under the Mongolian regime, the education Wu Yaocheng received at Beiping Normal University (Beipinig shifan daxue 北平師範大學) before the war, the manner by which he expressed his ethnic identity in Mengjiang, and his educational activities after the war.
Late Qing Feminist Discourse and Natiionalism
Authors: Yang Lianfen , Kidd Sophia
Published: October 2022

Chinese feminist discourse began its development embedded within late Qing period nationalist discourse in the form of proscriptions against foot-binding and advocacy for women’s education. Specific rhetorical terms conflating feminist and nationalist discourse include “mothers of citizens (guomin zhi mu 國民之母)” and “women citizens (nü guomin女國民).” This paper analyzes ways in which feminism was embedded in nationalist discourse and the legitimacy this established for the women’s movement. Such an inquiry uncovers the dependence of feminist discourse upon nationalist discourse, contributing to the unique development of feminism in China. This paper also looks at gender anxiety in Qiu Jin (秋瑾, 1875-1907)  in an attempt to describe how male subjectivity influenced late Qing feminist discourse.
Not Just Tears and Laughter
Authors: Huang Fangyuan
Published: October 2022

This article rethinks the spatiality of emotions through the lens of Zhang Henshui’s Fate in Tears and Laughter, one of the most popular novels in the Republican era (1911-1949).  Drawing on Ling Hon Lam’s work on the spatiality of emotion in premodern Chinese theater, this study reformulates emotion as a space that transposes an affective body into a spectatorial position in front of the emotion-realm mediated by theatricality. This article sets out to delineate the melodramatic polarization of emotions (tears and laughter), the spatial topography of emotion embedded in geographical loci, and the emotional spectatorship in which a private self is enmeshed in a public domain through bodily engagement in laughing, crying and sympathizing with fictional characters. It contributes to a new understanding of the affective assembly of emotions evoked by reading experiences that is as much innate faculties as coded registers of an imagined community.
Falling in Love with the White Snake
Authors: Luo Liang
Published: October 2022

This essay examines American missionary Samuel I. Woodbridge’s 1896 rendition of the White Snake legend, The Mystery of the White Snake, in the context of his missionary and diplomatic endeavors. It argues for a close reading of the English text as a contribution to the White Snake repertoire, both in its literary qualities and in its articulation of the idea and practice of love and empathy. Woodbridge’s intention of using the White Snake text to reveal the danger of the Chinese popular mind and to critique the Buddhist doctrine of transmigration and its outdated practice of “animal worship,” however, backfired. He was seduced by the White Snake legend he had set out to criticize and was able to better understand the Chinese popular mind he had hoped to reform, through powerfully resilient popular legends such as the White Snake.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a significant lifestyle disease. Of the types of DM, type 2 DM aids maximum in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) along with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), which is correlated with significant mortality along with comorbidity in diabetic patients. DbCM is a non-canonical cardiac illness that exhibits cardiac remodelling occurs when there is DM but not when there is any concomitant conditions like hypertension, valve disease, or coronary artery disease (CAD). DbCM is linked to altered mitochondrial structure and function, as well as aberrant cardiac metabolism. Additional physiological and pathological signaling mechanisms include inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), and others; besides, in the diabetic environment, there are various cardiomyopathy-inducing factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS)-modulated OS, hyperglycemic situations, cytokines-modulated These mediators induce inflammatory responses, cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy, as well as the epigenetic control of abnormal molecular pathways. The last ten years have demonstrated the importance of miRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in controlling key biological processes such cell death, mitochondrial dysfunction, and electrical remodelling. Cardiomyopathy is a significant event regarding cardiac remodeling event in DbCM. Considerable proof exists regarding the part of epigenetics in diabetic correlated cell demise. Epigenetic controlling modes like histone alterations, DNA methylation, and miRNA along with lncRNAs control cardiac cell demise in the diabetic environment. Akin to that, other modes such as mitochondrial impairment and OS are controlled by miRNA along with lncRNAs. Finding these modes has given provision of generation of innovative therapy approaches for DbCM. miRNAs along with lncRNAs have illustrated translational capacity in the form of Besides treatment options, There are other DbCM-specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers available. HDACs were further shown to have a crucial role in controlling the pathogenesis of DbCM.

Sampai saat ini, pengetahuan tentang infeksi COVID-19 dalam hubungannya dengan kehamilan dan janin masih terbatas dan belum ada rekomendasi spesifik untuk penanganan ibu hamil dengan COVID-19. Berdasarkan data yang terbatas tersebut dan beberapa contoh kasus pada penanganan Coronavirus sebelumnya (SARS-CoV dan MERS-CoV) dan beberapa kasus COVID-19, dipercaya bahwa ibu hamil memiliki risiko lebih tinggi untuk terjadinya penyakit berat, morbiditas dan mortalitas dibandingkan dengan populasi umum. Efek samping pada janin berupa persalinan preterm juga dilaporkan pada ibu hamil dengan infeksi COVID-19. Akan tetapi informasi ini sangat terbatas dan belum jelas apakah komplikasi ini mempunyai hubungan dengan infeksi pada ibu. Dalam dua laporan yang menguraikan 18 kehamilan dengan COVID-19, semua terinfeksi pada trimester ketiga didapatkan temuan klinis pada ibu hamil mirip dengan orang dewasa yang tidak hamil. Gawat janin dan persalinan prematur ditemukan pada beberapa kasus. Pada dua kasus dilakukan persalinan sesar dan pengujian untuk SARS-CoV-2 ditemukan negatif pada semua bayi yang diperiksa (POGI, 2020). Di Kabupaten Sragen dalam 6 bulan ini terdapat 23 kematian ibu hamil karena Covid-19. Yang sebelumnya AKI sangat bisa terkontrol di wilayah Kabupaten Sragen. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan kesiapan ibu hamil dan keluarga, suami atau pendamping dalam mempersiapkan persalinan dan nifas optimal pada masa pandemi dengan pemanfaatan thibbun Nabawi. Peserta adalah ibu hamil trimester III dengan jumlah peserta kelas  prenatal terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok dengan menerapkan protocol kesehatan secara ketat pada masa pandemi, yaitu tiap kelompok maksimal berjumlah 8-9 orang.
LAS CONDUCTAS MOTIVACIONALES DOCENTES EN EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA DESDE LA ÓPTICA DEL MODELO CIRCULAR: EFECTOS SOBRE EL LADO OSCURO DE LA MOTIVACIÓN DEL ALUMNADO

Bajo el sustento de la teoría de la autodeterminación (TAD), diferentes investigaciones han estudiado el rol del estilo motivacional docente sobre las consecuencias motivacionales del alumnado durante las clases de Educación Física (EF). Sin embargo, aquellos estudios que se han centrado en variables pertenecientes al lado oscuro de la motivación son menos numerosos que los del lado claro. La nueva propuesta del modelo circular, basado en la TAD, el cual abarca estilos y conductas motivacionales, permite explorar las consecuencias desencadenadas en el lado oscuro de la motivación con más detalle. Así, este estudio examinó la percepción del alumnado de las conductas de un docente de EF y su influencia sobre la frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas (NPB; autonomía, competencia y relaciones sociales) y el aburrimiento de su alumnado. Para ello, se tomaron datos de 47 estudiantes (Medad=16.30; DTedad=0.46; 57.4% chicas) de primero de bachillerato. En primer lugar, los análisis descriptivos revelaron que un docente de EF puede combinar moderadas y altas puntuaciones en conductas asociadas a diferentes estilos docentes, como el apoyo a la autonomía, el estilo estructurado o el controlador. En segundo lugar, el análisis de correlaciones mostró que las conductas abandonadas y a la espera correlacionan positivamente con la frustración de las NPB y el aburrimiento, mientras que las conductas participativas, adaptativas, orientadoras y clarificadoras, de manera general, se asociaban negativamente con la frustración de las NPB y el aburrimiento. En consecuencia, la formación del docente de EF analizado resulta esencial para maximizar las conductas que previenen la frustración de las NPB y el aburrimiento del alumnado.
Methodological bases for studying erosion processes in the conditions of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic

The assessment of the ecological state of the soil involves determining the correspondence between the processes in the studied soils and their natural counterparts, which makes it possible to identify the permissible value of a particular factor, incl. agrotechnical, established according to the criterion of compliance with the normal functioning of the natural ecosystem. It is shown that the study of erosion processes in areas with an area that in modern land use is similar to the areas of agricultural land of large farms requires taking into account the quantities (factors) that predetermine both the wash itself and its intensity. It has been established that the rate of increase in the humus profile during the formation of various soils is not the same. The characteristics of the erosion threat of soils are given in accordance with the level of their manifestation for the conditions of Kabardino-Balkaria. As a result of the studies, it was found that the determination of the effect of steepness on soil erosion from slopes in its pure form cannot be performed, since such a process is due to the individual characteristics of an additional set of factors that can only be obtained by studying the relief using different approaches. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the regional features of the experimental area, which will reduce the errors that arise when using existing mathematical models of water erosion, and at the same time correct them, adapting them to regional conditions.
