Abstract. The ability of coral populations to recover from disturbance depends on larval dispersion and recruitment. While ocean warming and acidification effects on adult corals are well documented, information on early life stages is comparatively scarce. Here, we investigate whether ocean warming and acidification can affect the larval and recruit development of the Mediterranean azooxanthellate coral Astroides calycularis. Larvae and recruits were raised for 9 months at ambient (23 ∘C) and warm
(26 ∘C) temperatures and ambient (8.0) and low pH (7.7, on the
total scale). The timing of the larval metamorphosis, growth of the recruit polyp by linear extension and budding, and skeletal characteristics of the
9-month-old polyps were monitored. Settlement and metamorphosis were more
successful and hastened under a warm temperature. In contrast, low pH
delayed the metamorphosis and affected the growth of the recruits by reducing the calcified area of attachment to the substrate as well as by diminishing the skeleton volume and the number of septa. However, skeleton density was higher under low pH and ambient temperature. The warm temperature and low-pH treatment had a negative impact on the survival, settlement, and growth of recruits. This study provides evidence of the threat represented by ocean warming and acidification for the larval recruitment and the growth of recruits of A. calycularis.

Abstract. Site-level observations have shown pervasive cold season CO2 release across Arctic and boreal ecosystems, impacting annual carbon budgets. Still, the seasonality of CO2 emissions are poorly quantified across much of the high latitudes due to the sparse coverage of site-level observations. Space-based observations provide the opportunity to fill some observational gaps for studying these high-latitude ecosystems, particularly across poorly sampled regions of Eurasia. Here, we show that data-driven net ecosystem exchange (NEE) from atmospheric CO2 observations implies strong summer uptake followed by strong autumn release of CO2 over the entire cold northeastern region of Eurasia during the 2015–2019 study period. Combining data-driven NEE with satellite-based estimates of gross primary production (GPP), we show that this seasonality implies less summer heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and greater autumn Rh than would be expected given an exponential relationship between respiration and surface temperature. Furthermore, we show that this seasonality of NEE and Rh over northeastern Eurasia is not captured by the TRENDY v8 ensemble of dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), which estimate that 47 %–57 % (interquartile range) of annual Rh occurs during August–April, while the data-driven estimates suggest 59 %–76 % of annual Rh occurs over this period. We explain this seasonal shift in Rh by respiration from soils at depth during the zero-curtain period, when sub-surface soils remain unfrozen up to several months after the surface has frozen. Additional impacts of physical processes related to freeze–thaw dynamics may contribute to the seasonality of Rh. This study confirms a significant and spatially extensive early cold season CO2 efflux in the permafrost-rich region of northeast Eurasia and suggests that autumn Rh from subsurface soils in the northern high latitudes is not well captured by current DGVMs.

Abstract. Obtaining temperature data from the mid-Piacenzian warm period (ca. 3 Ma, Pliocene epoch) is a key factor in outlining the impact of projected anthropogenic climate change. The mid-Piacenzian warm period was a high-CO2 world with a paleogeography similar to modern times. The time interval has been used to validate and improve climate model retrodictions, which in turn enables assessing the predictive strength of these models. Validating climate models requires a large array of robust proxy data. Here, we increase the potential of this proxy database by showing that the extinct tellinid bivalve Angulus benedeni benedeni can be used for stable isotope-based temperature reconstructions. This species is found in the Pliocene sediments of the southern North Sea basin. Oxygen isotope and carbonate clumped isotope measurements on the shell of A. benedeni benedeni resulted in a mean annual temperature reconstruction of 13.5±3.8 °C. This is 2.5 °C warmer than today, 3.5 °C warmer than the pre-industrial North Sea, and in line with global Pliocene temperature estimates of +2–4 °C compared to the pre-industrial climate. Limited amounts of clumped isotope data hindered determining summer and winter temperatures, but the oxygen isotope record shows that the growth band spacing of A. benedeni benedeni allows for sampling at a resolution of 2–3 months. The species could live for up to a decade, and therefore has the potential to be used for multiannual seasonality reconstructions. The pristine nature of the aragonitic shell material was verified through electron backscatter diffraction analysis (EBSD), and backed by light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence. The various microstructures as obtained from the EBSD maps have been described, and they provide a template of pristine A. benedeni benedeni material to which potentially altered shells may be compared. The bivalve A. benedeni benedeni is suitable for high resolution isotope-based paleoclimatic reconstruction and it can be used to unravel the marine conditions in the Pliocene southern North Sea basin at a seasonal scale, yielding enhanced insights into imminent western European climate conditions.
Assessment of Arctic Seasonal Snow Cover Rates of Change
Authors: Derksen Chris , Mudryk Lawrence
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Arctic snow cover extent (SCE) trends and rates of change reported across recent climate assessments vary due to the time period of available data, the selection of snow products, and methodological considerations. While all reported trends are strongly negative during spring, more uncertainty exists in autumn. Motivated to increase the confidence in SCE trend reported in climate assessments, we quantify the impact of (1) year-over-year increases in time series length over the past two decades, (2) choice of reference period, (3) the application of a statistical methodology to improve inter-dataset agreement, (4) the impact of dataset ensemble size, and (5) product version changes. Results show that the rate of change during May and June has remained consistent over the past decade as time series length has increased, and is largely insensitive to the choice of reference period. Although new product versions have increased spatial resolution, use more advanced reanalysis meteorology to force snow models, and include improved remote sensing retrieval algorithms, these enhancements do not result in any notable changes in the observed rate of Arctic SCE change in any month compared to a baseline set of older products. The most impactful analysis decision involves the scaling of dataset climatologies using the NOAA snow chart climate data record as the baseline. While minor for most months, this adjustment can influence the calculated rate of change for June by a factor of two relative to different climatological baselines.

Introduction: We aimed to determine predictors for in-hospital mortality for elderly patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) undergoing emergency admission. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database, 2005–2014, on elderly patients with ruptured AAA undergoing emergency admission. ICD-9 code 441.3 was used to identify patients with ruptured AAA. Male versus female sex, survived versus deceased patients, and operated versus not-operated ones were compared for various patient characteristics. A multivariable logistic regression with backward elimination and a generalized additive model (GAM) were implemented to evaluate the associations between potential risk factors and mortality. Results: A total of 7,214 patients aged 65 and older with ruptured AAA were included. About 31% of total sample, 26% of survived, and 36% of deceased were female. Mortality rate was higher in older patients, females, and those who were not operated on (40.6%) versus those that were (74.5%). Age, sex, healthcare insurance, severity of illness subclass, hospital length of stay, total charges, and several comorbidities had significant association with mortality in univariable models. Multivariable logistic regression with backward elimination confirmed age (odds ratio[OR]=1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.03–1.05; p<0.001), sex (OR=1.23; 95%CI=1.07–1.41; p=0.004), hospital length of stay (OR=0.87; 95%CI=0.86–0.88; p<0.001), bacterial infection (OR=3.79; 95%CI=3.07–4.68; p<0.001), cardiac disease (OR=1.97; 95%CI=1.71–2.28; p<0.001), liver disease (OR=2.90; 95%CI=2.22–3.77; p<0.001), fluid and electrolyte disorders (OR=1.34; 95%CI=1.18–1.52; p<0.001), and coagulopathy (OR=1.96; 95%CI=1.04–1.37; p=0.01) to be the independent predictors of mortality. Age showed a linear association with mortality; whereas, hospital length of stay had a significant L-shaped association. Elderly patients emergently admitted for ruptured AAA had the lowest risk of mortality with hospital stays greater than seven days (EDF=13.91, p<0.0001). Conclusion: Longer hospital length of stay (>7 days) of emergently admitted elderly patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm was associated with better outcomes and lower risk of mortality. Surgical intervention was also associated with much lower rate of mortality, while increasing age was associated with higher rate of mortality. In elderly patients admitted for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, every one year older than 65, increased the odds of mortality by 4% and female sex increased the odds of mortality by 23%.

Introduction: Surgical-site infections (SSIs) remain a challenging complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with estimates nearing 2%. Current antimicrobial dressing options have gained popularity despite reported bacterial resistance and ineffectiveness. Bacteria can produce an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), thereby rendering infections difficult to treat. Recently, a novel antimicrobial wound gel system has been developed to address EPS-associated infections. This new technology is comprised of various components that act to break bonds and cross-linking within EPS, induce lysis, and provide a moist environment to promote healing. In this paper, we provide a background of: (1) wound infections; (2) biofilms; and (3) current dressing options. We will then describe a novel antimicrobial gel therapy with a summary of a randomized control trial (RCT). Materials and Methods: We describe an RCT protocol for patients undergoing primary TKA at two large tertiary care centers. Patients will be randomized 1:1 using permutated block methodology to either standard of care (SOC) or a novel antimicrobial wound gel system, yielding 750 patients in each treatment arm. Inclusion criteria include patients scheduled to undergo primary TKA. The primary outcome is the appearance of a surgical-site complication. Conclusion: We briefly describe the background of wound healing and biofilm, as well as current treatment modalities including antimicrobial dressings and a novel technology developed to address the EPS component of bacteria. In addition, we describe a protocol for a randomized controlled trial examining the effects of this novel therapy on surgical-site complications in patients undergoing primary TKA.

Under the conditions of industrial technological processes for obtaining milk, the main features of functional disorders of the ovaries were determined in cows, which is manifested by the absence of external signs of oestrus (47.1-62.0%), anovulatory sexual cycles (15.1-20.9%), luteinization of follicles (8.7-16%), luteal cysts (6.0-10.9%), follicular cysts (2.2-3.8%), persistence of corpus luteum (13.1-18.0%). An optimal method for managing the reproductive function for cows with different milk performance has been developed using the new preparation "Oestrobelum D" (cloprostenol-D), which has a high luteolytic effect and is recommended for the induction of oestrus in dairy cows on the 62nd day after parturition. The overall rate of coming in heat (97.6%) and fertility rate (71.2%) after two injections of the drug showed its high target repro-ductive efficiency, which satisfies milk producers in terms of economic significance.

Published: October 2022

Experimental studies have shown that the productive potential of sheep breeds and their crossbreeds reared in the Republic is sufficiently high. The imported animals have been well adapted to the technological conditions at small and large sheep-breeding enterprises. However, it should be noted that the purposeful improvement of meat qualities of commercial young sheep can be achieved by using in industrial crossbreeding the genetic potential of foreign meat-type sheep such as the Ile-de-France, Merinolandschaf and Texel breeds. In this connection, new and more effective options for their crossing and interline hybridization in pure breeding are being searched.
On the basis of the findings obtained, the authors confirm the practicability of using in the breeding of wool-and-meat young sheep not only traditional linear measurements, including height at the withers, oblique body length, chest girth, etc., but also closely related parameters of the live-animal evaluation of meat performance characterizing the expressiveness of body conformation for meat animal.
QUANTITATIVE MORPHOMETRIC INDICATORS IN THE KIDNEYS OF LAYING HENS
AND REPLACEMENT CHICKENS WITH UROLITHIASIS
Authors: Zhurov D.O.
Published: October 2022

The article provides data on the histological and morphometric examination of the kidneys of chickens in the spontaneous course of urolithiasis. With urolithiasis in chickens, a sharp increase in organ size is macroscopically noted. Histological examination revealed that the process of urates sedimentation in the parenchyma of the kidneys of birds begins at the age of 126 days. In this case, calcium urates take the form of basophilic crystal structures. Urolithiasis in hens and replacement chickens leads to severe atrophy of the vascular glomeruli and tubules and, as a result, to sclerotization of the organ.

Religious symbols have their own meaning in every religion and culture. They are used to arouse emotions and create motivation among the masses. There are both positive and negative effects of religious symbols on the brain. It is important to explore the importance of religious symbols in the development of personality as religions drive the person in times of grief and happiness. Religiosity played a vital role in giving peace of mind and in the mental wellbeing of people. This study focuses on the importance of religious symbols among the Shia Muslims of Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan in creating motivation, emotions, and mental well-being. Eight adult Shia Muslims (age range 25-30) graduates were taken purposefully. Focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted and sessions were audio/videotaped. Before the FGD sessions protocol was established to conduct FGD. Three questions were asked from the respondents which are, how religious symbols are important for them? How do these symbols motivate them? What is the role of the symbols in mental well-being? The answers were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis with the help of Nvivo12. The findings of this study have that religious symbols are of high importance in the lives of people as people distinguish themselves from these and have a high emotional attachment to religious symbols and are important for the Shia adult's mental well-being.

The present research was conducted to investigate the relationship among self-compassion, frustration intolerance and obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms in spouses of OCD patients. Purposive sampling technique was used and sample comprised of 80 participants with the distribution of 40 males and 40 female spouses of OCD patients. The age range of spouses of OCD patients was 20 to 40 years (M=1.50, SD= .50). Self-compassion scaleshort form (Raes, Pommier, Neff & Van Gucht, 2011), frustration discomfort scale (Harrington, 2005) and obsessive compulsive inventory-revised (Foa, 2002) were administered on the participants. The findings of the current study uncovered that self-compassion had a significant negative relationship with frustration intolerance (r= -.80**, p<.01) and with obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms (r=-.77**, p<.01). Findings also revealed that frustration intolerance had a significant positive relationship with obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms (r=.98**, p<.01). Multiple regression analysis signified that self-compassion and frustration intolerance both found to be significant predictors of obsessive compulsive symptoms among spouses of obsessive compulsive disorder patients. Male spouse scored higher on self-compassion while scored lower on frustration intolerance and obsessive compulsive symptoms as compared to female spouse.

Authors: SALA Bedir
Published: October 2022

Siyasal kimlik kültürel kimliğin politikleşmesi veya bireyin içinde bulunduğu koşulları politikleştirerek edindiği bir kimliktir. Diğer kimlikler gibi siyasal kimlik de bir süreç içinde oluşmaktadır. Bu süreç siyasal toplumsallaşma olarak kavramsallaştırılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bireyler siyasal toplumsallaşma sürecinde bu kimlikleri benimsemektedirler. Siyasal toplumsallaşma sürecinde aile, çevre, okul ve kitle iletişim araçları gibi etkenler bireyin siyasal bir kimlik edinmesinde önemli yer tutmaktadır. Siyasal kimliğin ediniminde aile çoğu zaman belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Özellikle ailenin hala önemli bir kurum olduğu Türk toplumunda bu rol daha baskın çıkabilmektedir. Aile kurumu bireylerin ilk sosyalleştiği kurum olması dolayısıyla kalıcı bir etki oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla siyasal etkileşimin gerçekleştiği, siyasal davranışın şekillendiği ve siyasal tutumların edinildiği bir kurum olarak aile siyasal kimlikle yakın bir ilişki içerisindedir. Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki siyasal kimliklerden biri olan solcu kimliğinin benimsenmesinde ailenin nasıl bir rol oynadığını alandan elde edilen verilerle tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Alan araştırmasına dayalı olarak yürütülen bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi esas alınacaktır. Verilerin toplanması için de derinlemesine görüşme tekniği kullanılacaktır. Toplanan veriler betimsel analiz tekniğiyle analiz edilecek ve yorumlanacaktır. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlardan biri de Türk toplumunda ailenin siyasal kimliğin şekillenmesinde hala belirleyici önemini koruduğu görülmektedir. Fakat ailenin dışında eğitim ve sosyal çevrenin de bireylerin siyasal kimliğinin oluşması üzerinde önemli bir etkisi vardır.

En los terneros clonados, las alteraciones de la placenta ocasionan defectos congénitos y alteraciones fisiológicas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir los hallazgos patológicos observados en un ternero que murió al nacer, así como las alteraciones encontradas en la placenta. El ternero, producto de la implantación de un embrión clonado en una vaquilla de lidia, fue recuperado a través de la técnica quirúrgica de cesárea. Al no mostrar signos vitales después de haber realizado maniobras de resucitación, se le practicó la necropsia. Anormalidades como el edema de la placenta, la presencia de múltiples placentomas voluminosos y algunos de escaso volumen fueron observadas. En el ternero se destacó la pigmentación amarilla de las pezuñas, la presencia de riñones pequeños con cápsula y corteza renal oscuras, tejido pulmonar compacto y pigmentado, así como la pleura con áreas oscuras. El estudio histológico de las muestras reveló corangiosis placentaria con cambio hialino, la presencia de un cordón umbilical triarterial, edema pulmonar, necrosis tubular aguda y congestión esplénica; además se observó la presencia de pigmentos de color verde oscuro en el tejido pulmonar y renal. Estos hallazgos condujeron a concluir que la muerte del ternero es imputable a las lesiones tisulares ocasionadas por una hipoperfusión crónica con hipoxia fetal debida a la hiperplasia capilar de las vellosidades placentarias. La presencia de los pigmentos biliares en el tejido renal, pulmonar y córneo de las pezuñas, así como la turbidez del líquido alantoideo se atribuyen al sufrimiento fetal prologando ocasionado por la hipoxia.

A decade of the Missouri Hunger Atlas: Information for action
Authors: Henness Steven , McKelvey Bill , Chapman Darren , Mangoni Gloria , Hendrickson Mary
Published: October 2022

For over a decade, researchers at the University of Missouri Interdisciplinary Center for Food Security (ICFS) have produced five editions of the Missouri Hunger Atlas. Through a series of indicator maps and tables, the Atlas engages readers visually to help them understand the extent of local food inse­curity across the state. The Atlas also assesses the performance of public and private programs that help people struggling to obtain sufficient healthy food. In this reflective essay, we discuss the pro­cess of creating the Atlas, the choice of indicators and data acquisition, the evolution of the Atlas over time, and how various groups use the Atlas for policy and action. The Atlas has become a go-to resource for a wide range of users, including policymakers, academics, food bank staff, Exten­sion specialists, and advocates for low-income fam­ilies. The first ten years of the Atlas have demon­strated that measurement is a dynamic process, requiring ongoing adjustments by re­searchers through discourse with data providers, stakeholder groups, and communities. Given the popularity of the Atlas and the availability of com­parable second­ary data for other state and county geographies, replication of this model by other states is feasible.

Epistaxis is a common condition in childhood. Anterior nosebleeds are most common, almost always self-limited and rarely life-threatening. Infective and allergic rhinitis, mucosal dryness, trauma, foreign body, rhinitis and digital manipulation can cause epistaxis, which can often be secondary to systemic diseases. A complete evaluation is necessary and a referral to or consultation with an otolaryngologist is indicated for patients with severe (posterior, haemodynamically unstable) or recurrent epistaxis or in case of epistaxis due to local abnormalities, such as tumours, polyps or telangiectasias).

CervicalScreen Norway – A screening programme in transition
Authors: Bjørge Tone , Engesæter Birgit , Skare Gry Baadstrand , Tropé Ameli
Published: October 2022

An organised screening programme for cervical cancer (CervicalScreen Norway) was implemented in Norway in 1995. The overall aim of the programme is to reduce the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, and the screening coverage should exceed 80%. Women in the target age group (25-69 years) are invited for screening every third or fifth year depending on whether the primary screening test is a cytology smear or an HPV (human papillomavirus) test.
Since the initiation, there have been major changes within the programme and HPV testing has become increasingly important. The primary screening test has changed from cytology for the whole target age group to primary HPV testing for women from the age of 34, HPV genotype information is directing the follow-up of women in the screening algorithm, and HPV self-sampling will be implemented to increase attendance in under-screened women.
CervicalScreen Norway has had a significant impact on reducing the incidence and mortality of the disease. Nevertheless, there has been an increase in incidence in Norway the last decade, in particular among young women. In 2018, the WHO Director-General announced an ambitious global call for action to eliminate cervical cancer through vaccination, screening and treatment. CervicalScreen Norway supports the ambition of the WHO and is working towards this goal.

And when they took place on a Saturday her father would come along too and on a couple of occasions we ended up lunching on pizza at Pic-Nic on campus. Later on, we did our EU funded project on human embryonic stem cells and on one occasion Marianne chaired a meeting from campus whilst I was stuck on a plane that had diverted to Gothenburg because the radar at Arlanda Airport had gone down. With the doors of the plane open I could join the meeting via mobile and when I finally hurried in by taxi from Bromma Airport the draft we had been discussing was all ready and merely needed proofreading.
İSLAM HUKUK DÜŞÜNCESİNDE ONTOLOJİNİN EPİSTEMOLOJİYLE İLİŞKİSİ
Authors: Şavluk Hikmet
Published: October 2022

İslam hukuk düşüncesi kelam ve fıkıh usulünün birleşimiyle meydana gelmiştir. Erken dönem fıkıh ve kelam alanına dair eser telif eden İslam bilginleri her iki disiplinin birbirine bağımlı olduklarını varsayarak meseleleri ele almışlardır. Onlara göre kelam ilmi ile fıkıh usulü ilminin birbirine bu kadar bağımlı olmasının sebebi her iki disiplinin temel amacının dini temellendirmek olmasıdır. Kişi bir usul eserini ele alırken bu faktörü göz önünde bulundurmazsa birçok tartışma konusu anlamsızlaşacaktır. Nitekim semereci yaklaşımla usul meselelerini ele almaya çalışan birçok araştırmacı erken dönemde yapılan tartışmaları lafzî bir boyuta indirgemiştir. Halbuki bu dönemde usulcünün amacı sadece nastan hüküm istinbat etmek değil, öncelikle nassın inanılabilirliğini ispat etmektir. Bu gayeyle mezhepler kelam ilminde benimsemiş oldukları ontolojik yapıya uygun bir epistemolojik temelle hüküm teorisi inşa etmiştir. Ehl-i Rey tarafından ilke haline getirilen hüsün-kubuh teorisi ile hükümler ontolojik bir yapıyla ilişkilendirilmiş ve usulde bu ilkenin içine yerleştirilebileceği epistemolojik bir temel oluşturulmuştur. Bu yapının temelinde vacip, mümkün ve mümteniʿ tasnifi bulunur. Bu sayede hükümleri tasnif edebilen Ehl-i Rey (Mu‘tezile, Hanefîler ve Zeydîler) şerʿ öncesi ahkamın akılla idrak edilmesini ve şerʿ sonrası ahkamın akla uygunluğunun ölçülmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Ahkamın akla uygunluğunu bu cihetle değerlendiren erken dönem usulcüleri arasında Ehl-i Rey’den alimler olsa da bu durum zamanla Muʿtezile’yle özdeşleşmiştir. Eşyanın ontolojik yapısını ahkamın idrakinde önemli bir kriter olarak görenler bu bakış açısıyla aklî ve şerʿî hüküm tasnifine girişmiştir. Çalışmamızda eşyanın hakikatinin akılla vacip, mümkün ve mümteniʿ olarak tasnif edilmesinin hükümlerin idrakinde önemli bir kriter olduğu anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda erken dönem Ehl-i Rey ve Eşʿarîlerin aklın vahiy karşısındaki durumu ile ilgili görüşlerini ele alacağız ve aklın hükümleri idraki hususunda gerçekleşen ihtilafı farklı bir düzlemde inceleyeceğiz.

The purpose of this study was to develop valid, practical, and effective context-based (CTL) worksheets for elementary school students in the fifth grade. We used the Borg and Gall's model for research and development. This study was conducted in an urban elementary school in Bandar Lampung city in Indonesia among teachers and fifth grade students. To collect data, we used a variety of research instruments, including tests and questionnaires. We also used expert judgment for validation. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed on the collected data. Based on the results of expert validation and responses to the questionnaire distributed to the research participants, the findings suggest that the CTL-based worksheets we developed in this study were valid and practical with a significance value of <0.05 obtained from the N-Gain test and paired sample t-test. This implies that the CTL-based teaching materials were effective in improving the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade elementary school students.

The current work studied the mechanistic basis of salt tolerant PGPR bacteria in alleviating salinity stress in wheat.Two experiments were conducted at the Agricultural Research Center (ARC), 2021-2022, to evaluate the interaction between wheat var. Misr1 and two salt tolerant PGPR bacterial strains, Azospirillum (A.) brasilense NO40 and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) under saline conditions. The staining technique used to detect the colonization effectiveness of applied bacteria. Images of 30-day wheat seedlings were captured and subjected to the following measurements: root area, leaf area, root length, shoot length, and dark green color index (DGCI). TEM was used to look for bacterial colonization in wheat seedling. Chlorophyll, proline, peroxidase activity, rhizosphere dehydrogenase activity and electrical conductivity (EC) were all quantified. Results revealed that the wheat seedling roots inoculated with the salt tolerant bacterial strains produced a highly intense red colour. The colonized bacteria appeared on the outer surface of the root and intercellular space of root tissue. The data showed a significant rise in all measured parameters in the inoculated wheat seedlings with the salt tolerant bacterial strains compared to the non-inoculated wheat seedlings. Additionally, the wheat seedlings inoculated with a mixture of NO40 and Bt showed the best results as compared to that inoculated with only NO40 or with only Bt. Finally, EC values before and after planting with the inoculated wheat seeds revealed a decrease in the salinity of the soil rhizosphere (9.27 mmhos/cm vs. 5.1 mmhos/cm). In conclusion: Salt stress in wheat saline soils was alleviated by bacterial strains studied. Optimum results were obtained from the mixture of A. brasilense and Bt. Results must later be verified in field trials.
SECURITATEA, CAPACITATEA GEOPOLITICĂ, REZILIENȚA SOCIETALĂ ȘI POLITICILE PUBLICE PENTRU A O PUNE ÎN APLICARE

Published: October 2022

Reziliența a devenit un concept de primă importanță pentru amenințările hibride și pentru turbulențele convenționale de astăzi, chiar și pentru războaiele în toată regula din Europa. Dar, având în vedere că există o serie de teorii și definiții ale acestui concept, ar trebui să se facă un anumit tip de raționalizare a lor, ca și în cazul instrumentelor necesare măsurării nivelului de reziliență al statelor, națiunilor și societăților. În plus, există o mulțime de proiecte, încercări și posibilități de a face acest lucru, provenind din diferite discipline și domenii de cercetare, care trebuie, de asemenea, raționalizate. Mai important, trebuie să găsim un set adecvat de indicatori care să ne arate nivelul de reziliență al unui actor, pentru a propune astfel o soluție de îmbunătățire și politici publice care să o pună în aplicare. Acesta este obiectivul nostru în cadrul unei abordări multiinstituționale, care va fi lansată în viitorul apropiat. Partea cea mai problematică este aceea de a găsi elemente măsurabile, adecvate pentru a descrie unele dintre criteriile de reziliență care trebuie abordate, pentru a crea o hartă a indicatorilor și pentru a aborda, prin urmare, îmbunătățirea nivelului de reziliență.

Authors: Thirunavukkarasu S , Radhakrishnan S , Shankar R
Published: October 2022

Background: OPC is being considered as the most important agent of self-poisoning among the younger generation people because of its easy availability. Recent studies have reported an early increase in serum amylase levels among patients with OP compound poisoning and found hyperamylasemia to be closely associated with the clinical signs and symptoms and more so with respiratory failure. Aim: To study the serum amylase levels among patients with OPC poisoning and correlate its levels with the clinical features on the day of presentation. Methodology: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted for a period of two years in a Government medical college hospital at TamilNadu. A total of 278 patients reported to our hospital with history of OPC poisoning during the said period among which 157 patients satisfying our inclusion and exclusion criteria are selected as our study subjects. Severity of OPC intoxication was measured using POP (Peradeniya OP poisoning) scale and it was graded as mild, moderate and severe. Serum amylase level was measured for all the patients on the day of admission.

Published: October 2022

In the modern world, sports facilities are multifunctional complexes that not only meet the needs of the sports infrastructure but also serve as recreational facilities. Sports buildings and facilities are constructed using large-span structures and require significant urban areas for their erection. The paper discusses the results of research carried out by the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, which provides for the efficient use of the building area of sports facilities and the reduction of the cost of facilities through the use of space within the large-span structures for the placement of a large number of sports infrastructure facilities. The key issue in solving the problem of compactness of the developed area is the use of large-span structures of intermediate floors. Based on the selected cases, the authors classify approaches in the design of sports buildings, based on the use of three types of large-span floor structures: steel-reinforced concrete floor slab, load-bearing floor, and building-bridge. The authors conclude that these approaches can be used in the design of various types of sports facilities: from the municipal level of sports and recreation complexes to facilities designed for major international competitions.
