Introduction. A lead implantation into the cardiac conduction system (CCS) is currently the most physiological method of pacing. However, despite the availability of specialized lead and delivery systems, the proportion of non-targeted implantations is very significant. There is a need for an intraoperative visualization technique. The lead position is monitored by electrophysiological and fluoroscopic methods, which, obviously, are not enough.

Aim: To optimize the implantation of leads in the conduction system of the heart through the use of intraoperative merge visualization technique (IVT).

Material and methods. Two study groups are formed as part of the protocol of a prospective study. In the patients of the study group leads were implanted into the CCS using the IVT; in the control group - by traditional method. After implantation, in all patients the position of the lead using a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), ECG was assessed. Computed tomography (CT) was performed in patients of study group before and after implantation. In patients of control group CT was performed after implantation.

Results. The full study protocol was completed in 10 patients of the study group and in 10 patients of the control group. All patients of the study group confirmed the lead implantation into the interventricular septum (IVS) using TTE and CT; into the CCS using ECG. The duration of the surgery was 87.5 [70; 120] min, fluoroscopy time – 225 [125; 421] sec. Complications, non-target implantations were not registered. In the control group, the duration of the surgery was 100 [100;110] min, the time of fluoroscopy was 775 [500;1230] sec.; stimulation of the CCS was confirmed in 4 (40%) patients; recorded 2 (20%) cases of perforation of the IVS, 1 (10%) case of implantation in the area of the apical part of the right ventricle, 1 (10%) intraoperative dislocation of the right ventricular lead, 1 (10%) case of hemopericardium in the early postoperative period. The average measurement error according to the intraoperative imaging technique compared with MSCT: the distance from the LV endocardium to the lead was 0.98 ± 0.51 mm, the distance from the lead to the tricuspid valve ring was 3.1 ± 0.92 mm. According to trans-thoracic echocardiography, there weren’t structural and functional changes in the tricuspid valve, newly emerged local areas of the myocardium with impaired contractility were detected in patients of the two groups. There weren’t significant changes in sensitivity thresholds, stimulation, and postoperative dislocations of the leads.

Conclusions. The use of IVT allows to reduce the number of “off-target” implantations, the time of fluoroscopy, the radiation exposure of the operator and the duration of the surgery.

Background. The diagnosis of ischemic stroke is of high importance in modern medical practice. One of the most promising methods for solving this problem is the introduction of machine learning algorithms into physicians’ work as an auxiliary tool for the interpretation of beam images.

Aim: To compare automated computed tomography (CT) image analysis systems in detecting middle cerebral artery stroke.

Material and Methods. The study included three anonymized (A, B, C) machine learning algorithms. Analytical validation was carried out on a database of one hundred patients admitted in St. Petersburg vascular center with suspected middle cerebral artery stroke, who underwent noncontrast head CTs. Ischemic stroke in half of the patients was confirmed on the basis of clinical examination findings and CT-angiography and CT-perfusion. The study evaluated the performance indicators (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy) for detecting a set of signs of early ischemic changes (by automatic segmentation and predicting a score on the ASPECTS scale). The article also provides a graph that allows you to evaluate the quality of a binary classification – characteristic curves (ROC-curves).

Results. The meta-analyses showed all the considered automated algorithms did not reach the threshold values of accuracy (range from 0.67 to 0.75) required for programs according to clinical guidelines (0.80). The algorithms showed variability in sensitivity and specificity. One of the automatic analysis systems (A) had a high sensitivity (0.88), but at the same time a low specificity (0.46), which indicates its overtraining and a tendency to overdiagnoses. The remaining algorithms (B, C) showed low sensitivity (0.6; 0.55) and high specificity (0.9; 0.8).

Published: October 2023

Introduction. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of endocrine disease. Diabetes is a well-established risk factor for stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEE) is the main method of preventing a serious complication of stroke in patients with carotid stenosis. Consequently, the assess of type 2 diabetes on the results of CEE is an urgent problem of angiosurgery.

Aim: To assess effect of type 2 diabetes on cerebrovascular reserve capacity and brain structure in patients with carotid atherosclerosis by ultrasound and magnetic resonance diagnostic.

Material and Methods. 44 patients with hemodynamically significant stenosis of the internal carotid arteries (ICA), who underwent ultrasound and magnetic resonance examinations of the carotid arteries at the pre- and postoperative stages were included in this study. Two groups were formed: group I (n =15) – with a verified diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, group II (n = 29) – without diabetes. To assess the cerebrovascular reserve, functional hypercapnic and hyperoxic tests were performed.

Results. The analysis of the results showed statistically significant differences in the ICA blood flow in both groups. Intergroup comparison before surgery in the middle cerebral artery on the side of hemodynamically significant stenosis revealed a statistically significant difference in pulsation and peripheral resistance index. In the common carotid arteries on both sides, significant intergroup differences were found in the velocity parameters of blood flow after the CEE operation. The reactivity index in patients with surgical stenosis with type 2 diabetes in the hyperoxic test was statistically significantly different on the side of the stenosis compared to the same indicator in the group without diabetes. There were no statistically significant differences in the hypercapnic test. The value of reactivity index indicates a negative or paradoxical reaction.

Conclusion. The use of simple and accessible functional tests to assess cerebrovascular reserve, plaque structure and changes in the brain in patients with type 2 diabetes at the stage of preoperative preparation according to ultrasound and MRI studies allows us to correct the treatment and subsequent protection of the brain at the stage of surgery to prevent possible complications.
An Exploration into Delay-Influencing Factors on Healthcare Construction Projects: The Case of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Almutairi Bader , Bin Mahmoud Abdulrahman
Published: October 2023

The construction project's delay is one of the biggest challenges that concern practitioners in the construction industry. The success or failure of construction projects is usually measured by the building team's achievement of the project's goals and objectives (ex., time and cost). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), one of the largest construction industries in the MENA region, is experiencing significant delays in some construction industry projects for different reasons. The major causes of delays in project completion in the construction sector in the KSA and how sensitive it is to healthcare projects specifically differ from one project to another. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify construction project-specific causes of delay in the healthcare sector. The research is based on a quantitative approach using the systematic review methodology, where 100 delayed projects in Saudi Arabia were sampled from the healthcare sector, and the causes of delays were captured and recorded. Various factors contributed significantly to the projects' delays, such as change orders, high expenditure, and poor budgetary estimates. This study's results will help project managers reduce the risks of project delays by identifying the influencing factors and their local context, monitoring them, and finding the proper way to mitigate or element their impacts, if possible.
Mitigating Legal Risks in Construction Project Contracts: The Importance and the Applicability of Force Majeure Clauses
Authors: Al Marri Dana Ahmad
Published: October 2023

Contracts in the construction industry are structured in a manner that splits the risks between different contracting parties; hence risk allocations within the contract affect the price and operation. As most Construction Contracts are long-term contracts, therefore, it is essential to consider having provisions to mitigate foreseeable and unforeseeable risks which may reduce the positive economic prospects and gains, if not, properly evaluated, managed and considered under the contract. For those reasons and many others, the Force Majeure (FM) or the act of God clauses are included in almost all construction project contracts. This paper will provide an analysis of the FM clause in the Public Works Authority (PWA) General Conditions of Contracts (GCOC) for 2018 in terms of the meaning of FM, a list of examples, and the consequences of invoking the FM clause and others. Moreover, the FM clause in PWA GCOC 2018 will be compared with other drafts of the FM clause in other forms of contracts that are used internationally, such as the International Federation of Consulting Engineers General Conditions of (FIDIC) Red Book, 1999 and 2017, and others. This comparison was conducted by taking into consideration scholarly opinions and existing literature on the topic. Finally, the paper addresses the gaps in the existing PWA GCOC FM clause and the applicability of the FM clause in cases such as COVID-19 and then recommends some amendments that could be considered in future contracts.

This paper examines the short-term deflection of reinforced concrete slabs taking the tension-stiffening phenomenon into account. The main goal of this study is to develop a model that predicts the deflection of one-way slabs made of reinforced concrete. The model takes into account concrete contribution in carrying tension between cracks thoroughly considering the stress-strain relationship material model. The model has been developed using MATLAB Program incorporating a numerical technique known as the layered approach. The developed layered approach model was validated using experimental deflection results reported in a previous study. Based on the experimental validation, the model showed its tendency in predicting the real-case deflection of one-way concrete reinforced slabs. It was concluded that different types of tension stiffening models can be added to the program to model deflection and crack propagation.
Box Jacking Method Implementation in Rock for Mesaimeer Pedestrian Underpass Structure in Qatar
Authors: Alkadour Firas , Chelliah Anbalagan , Tzaveas Theodoros , Kara Ali
Published: October 2023

Mesaimeer pedestrian underpass is proposed under the live traffic of Sabah Al Ahmad Road, Doha, Qatar which consists of a four dual lane carriageway, in addition to diverge lanes, service road lanes and right turn lanes by box jacking/pushing method for a total distance of 80.6 m. Due to the necessity of maintaining undisturbed traffic and to avoid disruption of the existing utilities crossing over the underpass alignment, the use of conventional Cut and Cover method is not feasible. Accordingly, trenchless construction method by box jacking/pushing is to be implemented in weathered limestone rock overlaid by fill soil. The method of construction of box jacking includes constructing shaft as launching pit for jacking operation, aligning the precast concrete box into position, excavating the soil/rock at the face of the precast concrete box, then pushing the box into the excavated length, and repeating the process. This paper includes overview of the project and its challenges intending to bring greater familiarity with the box jacking process in rock formation. The design and anticipated construction challenges are discussed from both structural and geotechnical perspectives. The challenges faced include box segment protection details, waterproofing details, construction and expansion joint details, high jacking loads due to rock formation, excavation advancement rate, necessity of grouting at box over-head and impact on existing utilities. Both structural and geotechnical analysis/design are assessed by numerical finite element modelling (FEM). Further, instrumentation and monitoring measures are planned to monitor various utilities and assess the impact during construction.

Published: October 2023

This paper studies the feasibility of producing self-healing concrete by immobilization of bacteria on the sand. In this study, the Gum Arabic (Acacia Senegal) was used to immobilize bacterial spores and its nutrient (Calcium lactate) on sand surface as a novel technique. Due to its availability and environment-friendly character, Bacillus subtilis bacteria have been selected and prepared. To achieve the aim of this study, three concrete mixes were made with 10%, 5%, and 2.5% of gum-capsulated sand with bacteria. The ability of self-healing of cracks was monitored using stereomicroscope and digital image camera. The experiments have shown that the proposed technique is efficient in healing of cracks without impairing the prisms' strength for mixes with 2.5% and 5% of gum-capsulated sand with bacteria. The results give a proof-of-concept to use Gum Arabic as an adhesion to immoblize the bacteria and its nutrient on sand to produce self-healing concrete.

LEGITIMACY THOUGHT IN EDMUND BURKE AND THOMAS PAINE
Authors: YAHŞİ Fevzi
Published: October 2023

Bu makale çalışmasında Batı’da siyasal düşünce tarihi içerisinde 18. yüzyılda ortaya çıkan ve düşünceleri ile iki farklı akım olan Muhafazakarlık ve Liberalizmin iki ayrı temsilcisi konumundaki Edmund Burke ve Thomas Paine’in siyaset felsefelerindeki siyasal otorite/güç ve meşruluk düşünceleri okuyucuya aktarmak amaçlanmaktadır. Edmund Burke ve Thomas Paine’in meşruluk düşüncelerinin incelenmesindeki temel gaye her iki düşünürün aynı süreçte yaşamış ve birbirlerine karşı bazı yazılar ve kitaplar yazarak eleştirilerde bulunmasıdır. Bununla birlikte her iki düşünürün meşruluk anlayışları ise kök itibariyle farklılık arzetmektedir. Edmund Burke meşruluk düşüncesi açısından geleneksel bir meşruiyet anlayışına sahip olmakla birlikte din, monarşi, gelenek ve kurumlar onun için temel meşruluk kaynaklarıdır. Thomas Paine ise meşruluk düşüncesi açısından rasyonel/ussal bir meşruiyet anlayışına sahip olmakla birlikte, toplumsal sözleşme, doğal hukuk, demokrasi, anayasa onun için temel meşruluk kaynaklarıdır. Muhafazakarlığın kurucusu Edmund Burke, rasyonalizme, aydınlanmaya ve Fransız devriminin getirdiklerine karşı bir eleştiri yapar. Thomas Paine ise liberal aydınlanmacı bir rasyonelist düşünür olarak Fransız devrimi savunusu yapar. Edmund Burke Fransa’daki Devrim Hakkında Düşünceleri adlı kitabında devrim ve getirdikleri üzerine eleştiriler yazdıktan sonra, Thomas Paine’de bu kitaba ve Burke’ün düşüncelerine eleştiri bağlamında İnsan Hakları kitabını yazmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu minvalde her iki filozofun meşruluk temelinde siyasal alandaki zıt görüşleri bu makalede detaylıca irdelenip özgün olarak okuyucuya aktarılmıştır.

Authors: TÜRKER Hasan
Published: October 2023

Veba altıncı yüzyıldan başlayarak yirminci yüzyıla kadar Asya, Avrupa ve Kuzey Afrika’da milyonlarca insanın ölümüne yol açmış korkunç bir hastalıktır. İstanbul, bu korkunç hastalığa tarihinde birçok kez tanık olduktan sonra, 1919 sonbaharında bir kez daha yüzleşmiştir. İlk vakalar İstanbul Galata’da Haşim Bey Un Fabrikasında ortaya çıkmıştır. Vakaların ortaya çıkmasından sonra sağlık kuruluşları hemen harekete geçmişler ve uluslararası kararlara uygun olarak bazı önlemler almaya başlamışlardır. Alınan ilk önlem Şişli Etfal Hastanesi pavyonlarının veba hastaları için tahsis edilmesi olmuştur. Ardından ilgili sağlık kurumlarınca, halkın evlerde alması gereken önlemler gazeteler aracılığıyla duyurulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu önlemler fare zehri kullanmak, fareleri itlaf etmek, farelerin barınmasına olanak sağlayacak delik deşik yerleri kapamak, temizlik yapmak gibi uygulamalardan ibarettir. Vebanın görüldüğü haneler boşaltılmış, hanelerin bulunduğu mahalleler kordon altına alınmış ve mahalle halkı aşılanmıştır. Aşı, Şişli Etfal Hastanesi’nde veba hastalarına ayrılan altı pavyonda görevli sağlık çalışanlarıyla güvenlik görevlilerine, hapishanedeki mahkumlara ve kışlalardaki askerlere de uygulanmıştır. Veba, genellikle gemi ambarlarında barınan farelerin üzerinde yaşayan pirelerden bulaştığı için, liman çalışanları da aşılanmış, İstanbul limanlarına giren ve çıkan gemilerde fare itlafı ve tahaffuz uygulamaları yapılmış, yolcular sağlık kontrolünden geçirilerek aşılanmışlardır. Gelen yolcular 12-15 gün tecrit altında tutulmuşlar ve veba belirtisi görülmemesi durumunda kendilerine vesika verilmiştir. İstanbul dışına çıkmak isteyen yolculara da resmi doktorların yaptığı muayeneden sonra çıkış izni verilmiştir. Bu çalışmada 1919 sonbaharında İstanbul’da görülen veba vakaları ve vakalara karşı yürütülen mücadele arşiv belgelerine ve dönemin gazete koleksiyonlarına dayanılarak incelenmiştir.

Published: October 2023

Afişler belirli bir etkinliği tanıtmak için toplumun dikkatini çekmeyi amaçlayan görsel iletişim ürünleridir. Bir kültürel afiş türü olan festival afişleri, hedef kitleye düzenlenen etkinlikleri tanıtmak ve organizasyona katılımı artırmak açısından önemli bir araçtır. Ulusal ve uluslararası izleyiciyi hedefleyen festivallerin afişlerinin, bu kitlelerin ilgisini çekmek amacıyla dikkatle tasarlandığı görülmektedir. Türkiye’nin en köklü sinema etkinliklerinden biri olarak sinema sanatına önemli katkıda bulunan Ankara Film Festivali, aynı zamanda afişleriyle de dikkat çekmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, 1988-2022 yılları arasında gerçekleşen Ankara Film Festivali afişlerinin göstergebilimsel açıdan incelenerek örtülü anlamlara ve mitlere ulaşmaktır. Günümüze kadar 33 kez yapılan festivalin afişlerinde belirli görsellerin çeşitli yıllarda tekrar ettiği dikkat çekmektedir. Çalışmaya, 1988-2022 yılları arasında festivalin afişlerinde kullanılan ve farklı yıllarda tekrar eden benzer görsellerin beş kategoriye ayrılması ile başlanmıştır. Bu imgeler; gökkuşağı ve film şeridi, göz, insan figürü, kedi, şehir-dış mekân görüntüleridir. Bu sınıflandırma sonucu ortaya çıkan 30 farklı afişte bulunan göstergeler, düz anlam ve yan anlamları bağlamında Roland Barthes’ın göstergebilimsel yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Film afişlerinin incelenmesinin hem film endüstrisinin hem de izleyicinin toplumun değer, beklenti ve ideolojileri hakkında bilgi sahibi olmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Göstergebilimsel analiz yöntemi ise afişlere eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla bakılmasını mümkün kılmaktadır. Yapılan inceleme sonucunda festivalin ilk yıllarındaki afişlerde kullanılan film şeridi ve gök kuşağı gibi klişeleşmiş imgelerin yerini zaman içinde daha derin semboller ve deneysel yaklaşımların aldığı görülmüştür. Afişlerde kullanılan görsel anlatım tekniklerinin yıllar içinde farklılaştığı, günümüze yaklaştıkça afişlerin görsel dilinin zenginleştiği görülmektedir. Zaman içinde teknolojinin dijitalleşmesi ile afişlerdeki hareketlilik ve anlamsal derinliğin arttığı gözlenmiştir. Afişlerde çağdaş anlatımlar kadar nostaljik, mitolojik ve farklı kültürel anlatımlara yer verilmesi etkinliğin uluslararası yönünü destekler niteliktedir. Afişlerin aynı zamanda Ankara simgelerinin ve köklü geçmişinin tanıtımına katkı sağladığı görülmektedir.

Dinin ikinci kaynağı olan hadislerin Hz. Peygamber’e aidiyetinin tespiti hususunda ilk dönemden günümüze değin birçok gayret gösterilmiş ve onların tashihi ve doğru anlaşılması için yöntemler geliştirilmiştir. Bunların bir kısmı senedin ittisalı, tariklerin sayısı, ravilerin cerh ve ta'dil durumları gibi sened tetkiki ile ilgilidir. Bir kısmı ise metnin Kur'an'a, sünnette, sahih haberlere, tarihi vakaya, pozitif bilimlere, selim akla, Hz. Peygamber'in konum ve misyonuna arz gibi metinle ilgili yöntemlerdir. Bu yöntemlerin hepsi hadislerin sıhhat tespiti ve doğru anlaşılmasına büyük katkıları olmuştur. Hz. Peygamber’den günümüze varıncaya kadar zaman ve şartların değişmesiyle hadis problemlerinin çözümü için yöntemlerin geliştirilmesi ve güncellenmesi hususunda çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada da hadislerin kabulü ve reddinde sahâbeye arz yöntemi çalışılmıştır. Sahâbeye arz; hadislerin ilk muhatabı olan ve hadisleri rivayete dönüştürüp aktaran kaynağın (sahâbenin) hadis metniyle ilgili görüşleri ve uygulamalarına başvurmaktır. Sahâbenin hadislerle ilgili açıklamaları ve uygulamaları hadislerin sıhhat tespitinde önemli bir kriter görevi görmektedir. Özellikle amel edilmesi gereken hadislerin sıhhat tespitinde sahâbenin uygulamaları önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle sahâbe haberlerinin hadis ilmindeki yeri ve önemi araştırılmıştır. Daha sonra hadislerin sıhhat tespitinde sahâbe haberlerini gerekli gören ve çalışmalarında bu kriteri uygulayan âlimlerin görüşleri değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulardan hareketle ortaya koyulan yöntem, hadislerin sıhhat tespitinde uygulanabileceği gibi, zayıf haberlerin kuvvet kazanmasına, muhtelif rivayetlerin tercihinde, mürsel haberlerle amel etmede başvurulan bir yöntemdir. Hadislerin sahâbeye arz yöntemi literatüre mütevazı bir metodolojik katkı olarak değerlendirilebilir.

BALANCING ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY AND FAIRNESS: CONSIDERATIONS IN CONFERENCE INTERPRETING
Authors: MARANGOZ Esra ÖZKAYA
Published: October 2023

Conference interpreting plays a pivotal role as a vital component of multilingual communication within the realms of international events, diplomatic exchanges, and the business sphere. Beyond its fundamental function of bridging linguistic gaps, interpreting also raises ethical considerations that extend into the realm of cultural sensitivity and ethical responsibility. This article intricately explores the multifaceted landscape of ethical decision-making inherent to conference interpreting, with a specific focus on the delicate equilibrium that must be struck between upholding impartiality and embracing a heightened sense of ethical responsibility. Amid the diverse interactions that interpreters mediate, the concept of neutrality emerges as a foundational principle. The interpreter is tasked with conveying messages with precision, refraining from infusing personal biases or subjective interpretations into the communication process. However, the interpreter's role isn't confined solely to linguistic accuracy; it encompasses a broader spectrum of ethical responsibilities. These encompass navigating the intricate contours of cultural awareness, understanding context, and promoting social justice. This article delves into the inherent tensions that emerge between the imperative of neutrality and the ethical responsibility that accompanies the role. To illuminate these intricate dynamics, theoretical examples culled from real-world scenarios are employed. These examples underscore the challenges interpreters encounter when confronted with ethical dilemmas. In addition to these theoretical examples, Nuremberg Trials- one of the most striking examples of ethical dilemma in the history of interpreting and one of the major milestones of the profession of interpreting will be elaborated as a case study. By delving into these theoretical illustrations, this article seeks to unravel the multifaceted considerations that guide interpreters in their ethical decision-making journey. In essence, the article serves as a comprehensive exploration of the delicate equilibrium between remaining an impartial conduit of communication and embracing the broader ethical obligations inherent to the role of conference interpreters.

Published: October 2023

With the development of new energy generation technologies, photovoltaic (PV) power generation has gained widespread application as a clean and sustainable source of electricity. However, the intermittency and variability of PV generation pose new challenges to power system secure and stable operation. The WSCC 9-bus system is used in this paper to investigate the effect of PV integration on static voltage stability in power systems. An improved voltage stability index (NVSI) considering the new energy was used to measure the voltage stability of the access point of PV plant. Compared with the P-V curve and the classic load margin index (ILM), even if the index value is less than 0, the NVSI index has still a better measure effect on voltage stability.

Most common and fast spreading disease in the present era is CANCER. Oral cancer ranks in the top three of all cancers in India, which account for over 30 % of all cancer reported in the country. Cancers are the most common cause of death in adults. Oral cancer is any malignant neoplasm which is found in oral cavity. The incidence of oral cancer is highest in India, South and Southeast Asian countries. In India, 90-95% of the oral cancers are squamous cell carcinoma. Cancer is really having a limited line of treatment and its prognosis; the fate is also unpredictable. It could be said that this is the disease of modernisation. But since it is not true as such incurable tumours like Raktarbuda and Mansarbuda have been described around 1500 B.C. by Acharya Charaka and Ayurvedic surgeon Acharya Sushruta. Nowadays research is going to invent an Ayurvedic medicine to prevent or to cure cancer; Shigru (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is one of the most important drugs having anthraquinones, flavonoids, sitosterol, tannins, glycosides which possess the anticancer property. According to Bhavprakash Shigru is useful in the treatment of Apachi, Gulma and Ganda. Raj Nighantu mentioned Shigru as Mukhjadyahar (oral disorder). This study focuses on anticancer property of Shigru leaves on different cell lines of oral cancer by in vitro study.

Previous research has explored the importance of effective course advising to academic success. Course advising that is student-focused and takes a “whole-of-student” approach has been found to be especially important for students that have historically been minoritised in tertiary education. This includes students who are Indigenous, first-in-family, or from low socio-economic backgrounds. However, no research, to our knowledge, has investigated how Pacific students and staff envision course advising. Given Pacific students are among the fastest growing academic cohort in New Zealand and Australia, it is important for universities to understand how to foster Pacific student success. This research involved a series of talanoa (conversations) with both Pacific students and staff to better understand the current role of course advising in student decision-making, future hopes for the development of course advising, and suggestions to improve Pacific support in course advice. Understanding the perspective of Pacific students and staff helps to highlight the current gaps in course advising systems and encourages universities to acknowledge the importance of relationship building, the development of cultural competencies, and increasing Pacific representation in the course advising process. Results support reassessing course advising systems to help improve retention rates of Pacific students.
Evaluation of Disinfection Methods for Artificial Plants in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Recirculating Water Systems

The use of artificial plants as environmental enrichment for zebrafish (Danio rerio) in biomedical research facilities has been shown to provide benefits in animal welfare and care. Despite the benefits of artificial plants to zebrafish welfare, some research facilities are hesitant
to incorporate them into their routine husbandry practices due to concerns about disease transmission and a lack of guidance on effective disinfection practices between tanks. Limited published information is available on how to adequately disinfect artificial plants, which creates concerns
regarding their reuse between tanks in recirculating water systems. Proper sanitation and disinfection of these items is crucial to preventing the spread of disease in the system. We evaluated 2 disinfection methods– a commercial-grade laboratory glassware dishwasher and an ethylene
oxide (ETO) sterilizer–by using ATP detection and bacterial culture of the artificial plants before and after the disinfection process. Plants were placed in the dirty sump of 2 separate recirculating systems (2,500 to 3,000 fish per system) for 2 wk before the start of the study. High
ATP levels and various bacterial organisms were detected prior to disinfection. The commercial-grade labo- ratory glassware dishwasher and ETO sterilizer both significantly reduced ATP levels and resulted in complete eradication of live bacteria that were present before treatment. This study
demonstrates 2 effective methods for disinfecting artificial plants in zebrafish facilities.
Análisis de la robótica inclusiva en el empleo y las empresas con responsabilidad social desde una perspectiva de género: hacia la protección jurídica de la mujer trabajadora
Authors: Aragüez Valenzuela Lucía
Published: October 2023

El mundo del trabajo se encuentra en profundas transformaciones siendo, en ocasiones, no homogéneas. Actualmente muchas empresas recurren a la maquinaria (los robots) para ahorrar costes y sustituir la mano de obra de las personas trabajadoras. En este contexto, los estudios apuntan a que resultan ser las mujeres, como colectivo vulnerable, uno de los más afectados por estos cambios abruptos de la robotización, aumentando así la brecha de género existente. Por ello, en el presente trabajo trataremos de reflexionar sobre este asunto desde una perspectiva de género y, además, sobre el papel empresa social como medio de inclusión de las mujeres en riesgo de exclusión en el mercado laboral.

Foucault y Deleuze: crítica y evolución de las discusiones intelectuales en Francia
Authors: Gallegos de Dios Osbaldo Amauri
Published: October 2023

En este artículo, mediante una revisión de la historia intelectual, se analiza la consolidación de la figura del intelectual en Francia a partir del affaire Dreyfus, para entender las posturas ante acontecimientos políticos de pensadores como Jean-Paul Sartre, así como el llamado compromiso ante situaciones de esta índole en los años sesenta. Es contra el radicalismo y el compromiso marxista de Sartre que se presentan los análisis de Foucault y Deleuze en esa misma década y comienza una resignificación del concepto de intelectual, como puede observarse en la idea del intelectual específico y en sus vínculos con aquella idea del compromiso (Foucault), así como en la crítica del intelectual mediático y en la destitución intelectual (Deleuze).

The purpose of the researchis to study the efficacy of a solid dispersion of fenbendazole at different stages of gastrointestinal nematodes of young sheep.Materials and methods. Evaluation of the efficacy of a solid dispersion of fenbendazole at different stages of gastrointestinal nematodes was carried out in the farms of the Samara region on 35 sheep aged 7–10 months naturally infected with gastrointestinal strongylates. Animals were divided into experimental and control groups of 8-9 animals each. A solid dispersion of fenbendazole was administered once orally at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg of active substance to the animals of the first experimental group. Animals of the 2nd group received the substance of fenbendazole at a dose of 2 mg/kg. The basic drug – Panakur was administered to the sheep of the 3rd experimental group at a dose of 5 mg/kg. Animals of the control group did not receive the drugs. The efficacy of the drugs was calculated in the experiment of «control test» based on the results of coproovoscopic examination, as well as on the results of helminthological necropsy of the digestive tract of animals, 3–5 sheep from each group.Results and discussion. The solid dispersion of fenbendazole showed 97.8–98.2% efficacy against adult strongylates and 80.6–87.5% against larvae. The substance of fenbendazole at the same dose – 2 mg/kg revealed 33.0–41.7% and 16.1–26.9% efficacy respectively. The basic drug Panakur showed 95.4–97.3% and 46.7–73.9% efficacy against imaginal strongylates and larvae respectively at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg of active substance.

The purpose of the research is to test the efficacy of triclafascid and two solid dispersion complex preparations based on the triclabendazole substance against fasciolosis in cattle and sheep. Materials and methods. Complex preparations of triclabendazole (TCB) formulations: Succinic Acid (SA): Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (1: 1 : 8) and TCB: SA: Arabinogalactan (AG) (1: 1 : 8) were obtained by combined solid-stategrinding of the components in a fiber drum on an LE-101 ball mill at a roll rotation speed of 60 rpm with a process module of 1: 17 for 1 to 6 hours with sampling for analysis (HPLC) for changes in the TCB solubility. A comparative test of the efficacy of triclafascid and new solid dispersions (SD) of TCB complexes with SA against fascioliasis of sheep and cattle was conducted in the North-Eastern Federal District of the Caucasus in March-April 2023. To determine the Fasciola infection rate in animals, fecal samples were individually taken and examined by the Fülleborn methods using saturated aqueous NaCL solution and sequential washing. The drug efficacy was recorded at 25-30 days after deworming in analogy with "critical test". The results were statistically processed by the Student-Fisher method using Microsoft Excel 2007. Results and discussion. The resulting TCB and SA complexes with polymers had an increased solubility (up to 59–70 times) that depended on the polymer nature. The efficacy of new TCB dosage forms against fascioliasis in sheep at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg, i.e. 0.5 mg/kg less than the therapeutic dose as compared with oral triclafascid was 90.0 and 100%, respectively, and 85.7% in cattle at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg for the active substance.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of the research is to assess foreign potato varieties for resistance to potato tuber nematode by different methods: in laboratory setting, greenhouse experiment, and field experiment. Materials and methods. A potato tuber nematode suspension was added to each tuber with 100 and 40 specimens in the laboratory and greenhouse experiments, respectively. At 3 months of storage in a refrigerator at 6–7 ºC in the greenhouse experiment, at 70 days of potato plant growing, nematodes were isolated from tubers using the phytohelminthological method. Twelve potato varieties were planted with 15 tubers of each variety in the field experiment. During planting, halves of tubers affected by Ditylenchus infection were placed in each hole. After growing and harvesting, tubers of 10 plants of each variety were placed in bags and stored at 10–15 ºC for 60 days. The infection rate of each sample was determined by the ratio of potato tubers infected and uninfected by the potato tuber nematode, as well as by the percentage of Ditylenchus-infected tubers. Results and discussion. In evaluating foreign potato varieties for susceptibility to the potato tuber nematode by three methods, it was found that all tested potato varieties were infected with Ditylenchus destructor nematodes to a greater or lesser extent. In terms of susceptibility to the potato tuber nematode, the varieties were classified as highly susceptible (Riviera, Excellence, Bellarosa, Roco), moderately susceptible (Arizona, Evolution, Impala, Picasso, Arrow) and weakly susceptible (Vineta, Collette) potato varieties. No potato tuber nematode-resistant varieties were identified. All three tested evaluation methods of potato varieties for susceptibility to potato tuber nematode showed that they could be used in the testing of variety resistance to the potato tuber nematode. When the first two methods were conducted in the controlled environment, the field evaluation method depended on agrometeorological growing conditions of the tested potato varieties. In storage, the disease developed in D. destructor-infected tubers, and the Ditylenchus infection signs increased, and the nematode reproduced. This technique should be used in evaluating potato varieties for resistance to the potato tuber nematode D. destructor.
