Efficacies of Entomopathogenic Fungi from Metarhizium, Beauveria and Isaria on German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattaria: Blattellidae)
Authors: ER Mehmet Kubilay , TUNAZ Hasan , IŞIKBER Ali
Published: July 2021

Blattella germanica is an important pest and able to transmit various pathogens and parasites of human, cause allergic reactions and food contamination. Due to risks and problems related to currently employed chemicals for their control, use of entomopathogenic fungi as alternative control approach has been under investigation. In this study, seven entomopathogenic fungi isolated from soil samples and five fungal isolates obtained from entomopathogenic fungal cultures have been tested against B. germanica. The fungi belong to the species Beauveria bassiana (3 isolates), Metarhizium anisopliae (4 isolates), Isaria tenuipes (1 isolate), I. fumosorosea (3 isolates), and I. farinosa (1 isolate). Conidial suspensions of all twelve isolates were applied at 1x107 conidia ml-1 concentration to ten insects in each replication. Tests were carried out at 26±2oC, 65±5% relative humidity in darkness with three replications. Eight isolates were found effective on B. germanica with mortalities varying between 60.0% and 96.7% in 14 days. The results indicated that Metarhizium isolates had the highest efficacies (83.3-95.8%) followed by Beauveria isolates (70.8-79.2%) and the isolates of Isaria had the lowest efficacies (50.0-70.8%). These isolates were as effective as the previously reported isolates of the same species with higher efficacy values. The most effective two isolates of M. anisopliae (S8-2 and S11-6) appear to be worth investigating further for developing a microbial control agent against cockroaches.

Bu araştırmada, serada yetiştirilen hıyar bitkisinin yarı ıslatmalı sulama (YIS) ve geleneksel kısıntılı sulamaya (KS) tepkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, Türkiye’nin güneyinde Antalya koşullarında plastik örtülü ve cam olmak üzere iki farklı serada yürütülmüştür. Kontrol konu (K100) ile birlikte iki geleneksel kısıntılı sulama (KS75 ve KS50), ardışık-yarı ıslatmalı sulama (A-YIS75 ve A-YIS50) ve sabit-yarı ıslatmalı sulama (S-YIS75 ve S-YIS50) olmak üzere yedi sulama konusu ele alınmıştır. Sulama suyu (mm), verim (t ha-1), bitki boyu (cm), kuru madde vb gözlem ve ölçümler yapılmıştır. Sulama suyu kullanım randımanı (SSKR) değerleri (kg (ha×mm)-1) hesaplanmıştır. Beklenildiği gibi, K100 kontrol konusu toprak su içeriği en yüksek değerlerde ve tarla kapasitesi yakın bir seyir izlemiştir. Diğer konularda ise bitki kök bölgesi toprak su içeriği K100 konusundan daha düşük düzeyde kalmıştır. Toplam verim değerlerinin istatistiksel analizi sonucu Tukey’s %5 düzeyinde sulama konuları arasındaki fark önemli bulunmuştur. İlk yıl K100, KS75, S-YIS75, A-YIS75 ve A-YIS50 konuları istatistiki olarak en yüksek verim değerlerinde yer almış ve aralarında istatistiki olarak bir fark bulunmamıştır. Yine ilk yıl, S-YIS50 ve KS50 konuları ise istatistiki olarak en düşük verim değerlerine sahip olmuştur. İkinci yıl, birinci yıla benzer bir şekilde ancak, sadece K100 ve S-YIS75 konuları istatistiki olarak en yüksek verim değerlerine sahip olmuş ve aralarında istatistiki olarak bir fark bulunmamıştır. Yine ikinci yıl, KS50 konusu istatistiki olarak en düşük verim değerine sahip olmuştur. SSKR değeri her iki yıl en yüksek A-YIS50 konusunda hesaplanmıştır. En düşük SSKR değeri ise birinci yıl KS50, ikinci yıl ise A-YIS75 konularında belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada, genel olarak, sulama suyunun kısıntı düzeyi artıkça verimde azalma saptanmıştır. Sulama suyundan tasarruf sağlamaya yönelik araştırmalar özellikle suyun kıt ve pahalı olduğu kurak ve yarı kurak bölgelerde önemini gittikçe artırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, verimdeki düşüşün sulama suyundaki azalma oranından daha küçük kalması, YIS konularının bir avantajı olarak görülebilir.

Published: July 2021

The increase in the frequency of drug resistance in bacterial infections has led to the research of new antibacterial agents targeting new mechanisms. Many of the functions of NAD+-dependent DNA ligase have made it a remarkable target for antibacterial drug discovery. Escherichia coli (E. coli) NAD+-dependent DNA ligase is presented as a potential target due to its unique substrate specificity compared to the ATP-dependent human DNA ligase. In this study, it was aimed to produce and purify the E. coli NAD + dependent DNA ligase enzyme, which is frequently used in antibacterial drug discovery. The E. coli DNA ligase gene sequence was cloned into pTOLT vector system. E. coli DNA ligase enzyme was purified after the production in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysE cells. It was clearly demonstrated by the activity test that the DNA ligase enzyme produced in this study can ligate the DNA fragments. As a result, it was revealed that the effect of candidate inhibitors can be studied simply on the enzyme.

Published: July 2021

Objective: Increased red cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in multiple observation studies. We conducted this meta-analysis to determine composite impact of RDW on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HF and CHD. Methodology: Literature search of databases such as PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library was conducted from inception till 16 th August, 2020 to identify all the relevant studies reporting all-cause mortality based on the RDW levels in patients with HF and CHD (ST- elevation & non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease). The data was extracted from retrieved results for performing this systematic review and meta-analysis. Results: A total of 32 studies were included with a total of 58, 518 patients. The ages ranged from 49-80 years with males being 47%–98% in proportion. We observed that the pooled estimate of hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality among patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) was 1.16 (95% CI 1.10–1.23; p <0.001), and the pooled HR for all-cause mortality among CHD patients was 1.19 (95% CI 1.09–1.29; p = 0.001) in patients with elevated RDW levels. Conclusion: Elevated RDW levels either at the time of admission, during the course of stay in hospital, or at the time of discharge significantly correlate with the increased all-cause mortality among CHF and CHD patients. Elevated RDW can have prognostic importance in anticipating the risk of death in these subset of patients. Keywords: Red cell distribution width; congestive heart failure; coronary artery/heart disease; all-cause mortality.

Published: July 2021

Burn injuries are one of the most devastating of all injuries and a major global public health concern. Though burn injuries cause lots of morbidity and mortality in India, community-based interventions in the forms of multi-strategic and multi-focused preventive programs are however lacking. This study, undertaken in the North Eastern Indian state of Assam, aims at reducing the incidence of burn accidents, morbidity and mortality of burn injuries through focused attention towards sensitizing the community with well-structured preventive program. Participatory community seminars, use of print, electronic and social media and lectures and demonstrations in schools were the tools used in the preventive programs. Analysis of inpatient and outpatient records of burn injured patients treated in the burn unit and scoring system in school education program and social media participants helped in assessment of the impact of Burn Preventive Programs (BPP). For convenience of assessment, comparative analysis of the results in early (Block I) and later part (Block II) of the study period was made. Results showed significant reduction of percentage of patients reporting from the areas where BPP was implemented. There was also reduction in %TBSA burn in majority patients in Block II in comparison to Block I. Water was used to extinguish fire in 48.9% patients in Block I and 78.0% patients in Block II. Water was also used to cool burn wounds by 52.3% patients in Block I, and 83.4% patients in Block II. While 80.9% people made inappropriate topical application on the wounds in Block I, only 34.6% did so in Block II. Increased awareness amongst general people was reflected by increased percentage of patients reporting to burn unit within 7 hours of injury and significant reduction of firecracker burns from 21.9% (Block I) to 7.8% (Block II). Similarly, improved awareness amongst the students was evident from the improved scoring by majority students and reduction in burns amongst them in the later part of Block II. The results indicate that BPP has got positive impact in the society.
Lung sounds in bronchial asthma
Authors: Nagasaka Yukio , Tsuchiya Michiko
Published: July 2021

Since the historical article by Forgacs in 1978, many studies have clarified the changes of lung sounds due to airway narrowing as well as the mechanism of genesis of these sounds. Studies using bronchoprovocation have shown that an increase of the frequency and/or intensity of lung sounds was a common finding of airway narrowing and correlated well with lung function in bronchial asthma. Bronchoprovocation studies also showed that wheezing may not be as sensitive as changes in basic lung sounds in acute airway narrowing in adult asthmatics. In lung sound analysis, narrow airways cause an increase in the frequency of breath sounds and lung sound intensity, implying when the patient has higher than normal breath sounds, i.e., bronchial sounds, he or she may have airway narrowing. Recent studies reported that this increase of breath sounds suggested worsening of airway inflammation in rather stable patients with bronchial asthma. As it is difficult to detect subtle changes in lung sounds by auscultation alone, automated sound analysis will be expected.
Treatable metabolic and inflammatory abnormalities in Post COVID Syndrome (PCS) define the transcriptomic basis for persistent symptoms: Lessons from CIRS

Published: July 2021

Within three months of the onset of acute SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infections, new and persistent symptoms were noted in survivors. While the world’s medical and research communities focus on saving lives following COVID-19 infection, a relentless march of new cases of Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) continues to spread around the globe as a second COVID-related pandemic. Efforts to define the physiology of PCS, a multisystem, multi-symptom illness, continue without success, in part due to the markedly different case presentations. Using a transcriptomic assessment of persistently ill cases of PCS, we show the presence of (i) molecular hypometabolism (MHM) and proliferative physiology; (ii) elevated levels of ribosomal stress responses and a concomitant increase in gene activation of TGFBR; and (iii) common co-expression of CD14 and Toll Receptor 4, correlated to exposure of amplified microbial growth in a water-damaged environment, specifically Actinobacteria and endotoxin, respectively, compared to recovered PCS cases. Total symptom scores and visual contrast sensitivity (VCS) results showed statistically significant differences. The data reported here supports the concept that PCS occurs in patients with additional environmental exposures and enhanced TGF signaling. In a strikingly similar condition called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), named in 2010, the transcriptomic abnormalities were identified to respond to treatment with FDA-cleared medications, with salutary benefits for affected cases. Though sparsely reported, PCS cases share proteomic findings with CIRS. While additional studies are indicated, a new approach to the treatment of PCS is suggested.

Published: July 2021

Pancreas will respond differently to stress situations, which results in histopathological changes in the gland. Glucagon and insulin are both secreted by pancreas, the former by alpha cells and latter by beta cells. Insulin may decrease during stress. These endocrine secretions enter the portal vein so that liver is exposed to high concentration of these hormones. This along with increase in its antagonistic hormones can contribute to the stressed induced hyperglycaemia.

The aim is to find and compare the weight and histopathological changes of Pancreas in suicide and non suicide deaths.

The pancreas were dissected during the autopsy from the cases with known history of death due to alleged suicide with clear history of non administration of steroids and was declared brought dead at GMCH, Chandigarh. The removed glands were preserved and fixed with 10% formalin for more than 2 weeks. After the period of fixation, grossing and section of gland was done, and slides of each subject was prepared and studied.

In suicide group maximum weight is 78.2 grams and minimum is 67.3 grams. In non suicide maximum weight is 78.2 grams and minimum is 65.5 grams. The mean weight of the pancreas in the suicidal group was 71.27 grams and the standard deviation was 2.18 grams, whereas the mean weight of the pancreas in the non- suicidal group was 70.87 grams and the standard deviation was 2.63 grams. The P value comes out to be 0.41. Of the total 100 cases, only three (3%) revealed significant pathological findings and the rest 97 (97%) were histologically normal. In the study group there was one case each of pancreatic abscess, and necrotising pancreatitis. Pancreatitis abscess was diagnosed when the histology revealed focus of necrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma with dense neutrophilic infiltration. Necrotising pancreatitis showed extensive necrotising inflammation of the pancreatic parenchyma. In the control group there was only 1 case (2%), of chronic pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis was labelled when fibrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma with mild lymphomononuclear cell infiltration.

There was no significant difference between the weight of the pancreas in the suicidal and the non-suicidal group. Pathological findings were twice as common in the suicidal group as compared to the non-suicidal group.

Published: July 2021

The outstretched arm span and measurement of components of the upper limb are a reliable predictors of stature when fragmentary remains of the human body are found. However, this relationship can be affected by age, sex, diet, racial and geographical differences, etc. Hence, a regional database is necessary to be more accurate.

This cross-sectional, prospective analytical study included 200 students pursuing MBBS (Male = 100, Female = 100), natives of Gujarat, aged between 18 - 24 years with normal developmental history. Rich bells stature meter, Anthropometric metal rods (scaled), and Vernier caliper were used for taking measurements. SPSS software version 26 was used for statistical analysis.

The findings showed a positive correlation between stature and the outstretched arm span as well as stature and various components of the upper limb. Except for the correlation between stature and the length of the shoulder to mid suprasternal notch in males, all of the results were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Regression equations were derived and verified.

Outstretched arm span is the most reliable indicator of stature whereas the length of the shoulder to mid suprasternal notch is the least reliable indicator of stature in both sexes in the natives of Gujarat. This study can be used as a reference in the future for medico-legal purposes.

Oral cancer is the most common form of carcinoma of oral cavity and ranks as the 12th most common cancer in the world. Oral cancer is one of the major social & health problems in India and Indian subcontinent countries. Tobacco use in different forms is the main etiological factor for oral carcinoma.

 (i) To define relations of oral cancer with respect to gender, age group, socioeconomic status and risk habits; (ii) To observe the distribution of affected oral cavity sites and observe the clinical profile in oral cancer patients.

A cross-sectional study of 340 oral cancer patients from January 2019 to December 2019 was carried out in Department of oncology & radiotherapy, JA Group of hospital, G. R. Medical Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh India. Details of patient's sex, age, tobacco habit and site of cancer and status were noted. Data were analyzed by probability of patient with risk factors and chi-squire (χ) test.

 The prevalence of oral cancer was significantly (p < 0.001) higher in males (91.5.9%) than females (8.5%). In both the sexes, most affected sites were the buccal mucosa and gingivo-buccal sulcus. However, the consuming form of tobacco was found to be significantly associated with oral cancer, in both sex.

 The study revealed that oral cancer is more common in men, probably due to habit of large tobacco consumption.

Authors: Bajjad Adeel Ahmed , Chauhan A K , Sharma Anil , Kumar Santosh
Published: July 2021

The successful treatment of Orthodontic patient is dependent on careful diagnosis. Three planes of discrepancies are commonly described in orthodontics namely, transverse, sagittal and vertical. Of these, the sagittal discrepancies are most commonly encountered in day to day practice. This study was aimed to compare various methods of cephalometric analysis for assessing sagittal jaw relationship.

There were total of 180 lateral cephalograms used and each samples were divided into 2 groups based on their skeletal relationship according to ANB angle. i.e Class I and Class II. Class I and Class II were again divided into average, horizontal and vertical group. Pretreatment records were taken and tracing were performed on the lateral cephalogram and measured values were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis.

In class I, the highest frequency was seen in A-B plane angle and FABA angle and in class II the highest frequency found in K angle followed by A-B plane angle. In class I horizontal group, a strong level of agreement was found between AXB angle with AF-BF distance while in class II average group, A-B plane angle shows strong level of agreement with WITS and FABA angle. In terms of reliability, all the ten parameters (A-B plane angle, WITS, AF-BF distance, APP-BPP distance, FABA angle, BETA angle, YEN angle, W angle and K angle) show good reliability in class II average and vertical group.

: No single measurement is perfect in all the cases. A combination of different measurements should be used to have a true assessment of sagittal jaw relationship.
Scrupulously managing vertigo
Authors: Chaudhry Sunil
Published: July 2021

Vertigo is a sense of spinning dizziness. There is no ideal medicine for treatment of vertigo and dizziness. The duration of dizziness/vertigo: attacks may last for seconds or minutes (as in vestibular paroxysm) or hours (as in Menière’s disease or vestibular migraine). Diagnosis and treatment of vertigo remains a challenge for many physicians. Many drugs produce dizziness and vertigo side effects such as some antibiotics , diuretics, mucolytics and NSAIDs. Symptoms of Vertigo are usually managed with vestibular suppressants. Steroids are useful in selected patients. Neurosurgical treatment is chosen in lesions such as hematomas, tumors, vascular lesions, pathology of the cervical spine (cervicalspondylopathy)

Authors: Patil H.S. , Sharma Rajesh
Published: July 2021

An extensive survey of floristic of native and invasive weed species was carried out during 2016 to 2019 in the semiarid agro ecosystem of Baramati Tahsil, Dist- Pune (M.S.). About 18 dominant invasive weeds such as Ageratum, Alternanthera, Croton., Xanthium, Parthenium and Tridax were encroaching the natives, becoming a serious threat to the major crops of this area such as wheat, sorghum, pearl millet, mung bean, pigeon pea, chillies and tomato. Amongst these Croton bonplandianus was highly dominant and wide spreading. Hence, its allelopathic potential was investigated. The allelopathic influence of leaf and root leachates as well as extracts of Croton bonplandianus Bail. was examined on seed germination of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.). The germination assay revealed that allelopathic potential and other factors are responsible for its dominance and successful invasion. The allelopathic influence of rhizosphere soil and its aqueous leachates indicated that both are responsible for inhibiting the seed germination and seedling growth of mungbean. Both the experiments have clearly confirmed the allelopathic potential of Croton bonplandianus. The HPTLC analyses confirmed the existence of a broad groups of allelochemicals like terpenoides, steroids, flavonoids, pungent and bitter essential oils and phenolics in its leaves and roots, which confirmed its allelopathic potential. Further characterization of above mentioned allelochemicals is in progress.

Published: July 2021

En este estudio se caracterizó el estado de las formaciones coralinas en la región de San Antero, Caribe colombiano, con base en la cobertura de los principales componentes bentónicos: macroalgas, esponjas, zoantídeos, sustrato duro y corales. Para ello, en febrero y agosto de 2014 se muestrearon tres sectores y siete estaciones localizadas en la región. Para determinar la composición y cobertura de cada componente bentónico se empleó el método de fototransecto utilizando el programa Coral Point Count (CPCe.v4.1). Las fotografías fueron tomadas sobre cuadrantes de 0,25 x 0,25 m colocados consecutivamente a lo largo de bandas de 20 x 0,25 m. Se registraron 16 especies de corales (15 escleractinios y un milleporino). El coral fue la categoría más importante en términos de cobertura (45,4 %), seguido de macroalgas (24,3 %) y sustrato abiótico (20,4 %). Los sectores que registraron las mayores coberturas coralinas fueron Punta Bello (51,8 %) y Punta Bolívar (44,4 %), en tanto que la cobertura más baja de coral y mayor dominancia de macroalgas se presentó en Playa Blanca, con 29,3 y 31,5 %, respectivamente. Los resultados indicaron que el estado de las formaciones coralinas en la región de San Antero era bueno, a pesar del bajo número de especies registradas. Además, las formaciones de Punta Bello y Punta Bolívar estaban en mejor estado que la comunidad coralina de Playa Blanca.
Condiciones físicas de la región de líneas coronales en las galaxias Seyfert 2
Authors: Portilla Barbosa J. Gregorio , Daza J. Alejandro
Published: July 2021

En estudios recientes se ha evidenciado que la región de emisión de líneas coronales observada en algunos núcleos galácticos activos está localizada en la cara interna del toroide oscurecedor; sin embargo, hay numerosos ejemplos de galaxias Seyfert 2 con significativa emisión coronal. Para aclarar esta anomalía, en el presente trabajo nos propusimos ofrecer algunas ideas sobre la ubicación espacial de la región de líneas coronales (RLC) en galaxias de tipo Seyfert 2, así como determinar las condiciones físicas del gas coronal para este tipo de galaxias. Para ello se ejecutó una rutina en SQL en la base de datos del Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR14) con el propósito de seleccionar varias galaxias de tipo Seyfert 2 bajo los siguientes criterios: 3<[O III] λ5007/ Hβ<16, 0.5 <[N II] λ6584/Hα<2, 0.3<([S II] λ6717+λ6731)/Hα<0.6, 0.06<[O I] λ6300/Hα<0.2 y 0.02 < z < 0.13. El procedimiento arrojó 497 galaxias Seyfert 2. De esta muestra, se detectó emisión simultánea en las cuatro líneas prohibidas de alta ionización del [Fe VII] λλλλ6087, 5721, 5158, 3759 en 10 objetos. A partir de las relaciones de flujo de esas cuatro líneas se establecieron los rangos de densidad y temperatura electrónica de la región de emisión por dos vías, lo que permitió un acotamiento más aproximado de tales valores. Al compararlos con los obtenidos para la región de líneas delgadas (RLD), se encontró una correlación entre las temperaturas de la RLC y la RLD, lo que sugiere algún tipo de conexión física entre ambas zonas de este tipo de objetos.

Personalistyczne podstawy nauczania Kościoła na temat osób z wadami letalnymi

Fala protestów po orzeczeniu polskiego Trybunału Konstytucyjnego z 22 października 2020 r. w sprawie niezgodności z konstytucją przesłanki o ciężkim i nieodwracalnym uszkodzeniu płodu jako wskazania do aborcji może być postrzegana jako wyzwanie dla Kościoła katolickiego do sprecyzowania swojego nauczania przyjaznego życiu w odniesieniu do ochrony najsłabszych oraz do podjęcia na nowo tego nauczania. Jedną z pomocy ku temu jest list Kongregacji Nauki Wiary Samaritanus bonus z 14 lipca 2020 r. Niniejszy artykuł odnosi się do wspomnianego nauczania doktrynalnego w celu syntezy i uzasadnienia reprezentowanego w nim stanowiska moralnego na temat aborcji, zwłaszcza w przypadku wad letalnych. Jego zasadą przewodnią jest personalistyczne spojrzenie na człowieka, zgodnie z którym osoba powinna znajdować się w centrum wszystkich decyzji etycznych. Z analizy poszczególnych aspektów postawionego problemu wyłaniają się pewne imperatywy etyczne, które są umieszczone we wnioskach końcowych.

Die Protestwelle nach dem Urteil des polnischen Verfassungsgerichts vom 22.10.2020 über die Verfassungswidrigkeit der embryopathischen Abtreibungsindikation kann für die katholische Kirche als Herausforderung betrachtet werden, ihre lebensbejahende Lehre im Hinblick auf den Schutz der Schwächsten zu verdeutlichen und neu zur Sprache zu bringen. Eine Stütze dafür bildet das Schreiben der Glaubenskongregation Samaritanus bonus vom 14.07.2020. Der vorliegende Artikel greift die besagte Lehrverkündigung auf, um die dort vertretene moralische Auffassung bzgl. der Abtreibung, insbesondere im Fall von lebensverkürzenden Krankheiten, zu synthetisieren und zu begründen. Leitend dafür ist die personalistische Sicht des Menschen, nach der die Person im Zentrum aller ethischen Entscheidung stehen soll. Aus der Betrachtung der einzelnen Aspekte der aufgeworfenen Frage ergeben sich bestimmte ethische Imperative, die in den Schlussfolgerungen betrachtet werden.

Johna Henry'ego Newmana teoria edukacji katolickiej
Authors: Surmiak Wojciech
Published: July 2021

W niniejszym artykule zostaną wyjaśnione kwestie związane z pewną ambiwalencją dotyczącą sposobu argumentacji przez Newmana potrzeby „wolnej” edukacji (liberal education), a także w jaki sposób różnicuje się ona na gruncie teologicznym w stosunku do całości edukacji katolickiej. Przedstawione zagadnienia są argumentem za tym, że rozprawy Newmana stanowią bardzo pomocne źródło dla opisu jednego z centralnych problemów wewnątrz teorii wychowania katolickiego, a mianowicie należytej relacji pomiędzy teorią edukacji a samą teologią (katolicką).
Neutralność etyczna państwa – ideał czy fikcja?
Authors: Zadykowicz Tadeusz
Published: July 2021

Między dążeniami do stworzenia państwa wyznaniowego a postawami walki z wszelkimi przejawami religijności w życiu społecznym pojawia się niekiedy propozycja neutralności w kwestiach światopoglądowych, w tym w odniesieniu do zasad i norm moralnych, jakimi kierują się obywatele. Czy państwo i jego instytucje mogą rzeczywiście taką neutralność zachować? Jaki jest stosunek Kościoła do takich propozycji? Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na te pytania na podstawie analizy samego fenomenu neutralności, jej form oraz prawdziwych intencji zwolenników. Analizy te dowodzą, że neutralność jest postawą ambiwalentną i jej akceptacja przez Kościół jest uzależniona od wielu warunków.
A Fifth Mark of the Church?
Authors: Lancton Thaddaeus
Published: July 2021

In addition to the four marks of the Church, mercy has been emphasized since the pontificate of St. John Paul II as essential to the authentic fulfillment of the Church’s identity and mission. A Christological and pneumatological understanding of these marks of the Church leads to a proper grasp of the Church in relation to mercy. The Church is merciful not de facto because of her works of mercy on behalf of the poor or sinners. Rather, she is first the recipient of unprecedented Divine Mercy, poured forth in the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so shares that same Spirit of Mercy with others through her sacraments, preaching, and service. The Church’s mission of mercy thus extends beyond the myriad of manners to alleviate human misery. In union with Christ, her Bridegroom, the Church is to communicate the one gift of Divine Mercy, the Holy Spirit, to all.
Sharing in the Eucharistic Sacrifice of Christ
Authors: Kowalczyk Marian
Published: July 2021

Staying in the stream of the pastoral program of the Church in Poland, which is carried out under the slogan “Gathered at the Holy Supper,” the content of the article focuses on the analysis and synthesis of the documents of the Magisterium of the Church and theological publications on the Eucharistic sacrifice. First, the article discusses the Eucharistic making present of the sacrifice of the Cross as a gift of glorified Christ, and then draws attention to the active participation of the faithful in the Eucharistic making present of Calvary. The context of God’s mercy in the Eucharistic Sacrifice is also emphasized. The climax of the article is the interpretation of the eschatic dimension of the Eucharist, confirmed by the testimony of the life of Christians, joining in the sacrifice of Christ and in his death and resurrection, which result in the perfect joy of the saved in heaven.

Published: July 2021

IntroduçãoTranslocação corresponde a troca de segmentos entre cromossomos não homólogos, decorrendo novas mutações ou herdadas. Na maioria dos casos, translocações estão associadas com cromossomo derivativo. Assim, objetivou-se relatar paciente com cariótipo 46,XX,der(4)t(4;18), resultante de translocação balanceada familiar entre cromossomos 4 e 18.Descrição do casoPaciente sexo feminino, 3 anos, filha única de casal não consanguíneo, apresentando fácies com hipertelorismo ocular discreto, ponte nasal alta, orelhas simplificadas e de abano, micrognatia, mãos com sobreposição de dedos, dificuldade de crescimento e ganho de peso, atraso no desenvolvimento psicomotor, refluxo gastroesofágico, alteração da deglutição e laringotraqueomalácia. O resultado de cariótipo da paciente revelou 46, XX,der(4)t(4;18)(q35;q12), mãe 46, XX e pai 46,XY,t(4;18)(q35;q12). Heredograma familiar foi construído.DiscussãoTais achados revelaram diagnóstico translocação balanceada familiar envolvendo os cromossomos 4 e 18, levando a trissomia parcial do cromossomo 4q. Isto é, o cromossomo 4 derivativo da paciente provavelmente teve ganho/perda de material genético da região q12 até a q23 do cromossomo 18. Análise citogenética foi primordial para o diagnóstico etiológico.  ConclusãoPortanto, a análise citogenética/heredograma identificou a translocação balanceada familiar, permitindo melhor entendimento da etiopatologia além de centrado aconselhamento genético. Estudos citogenômicos/moleculares são necessários para elucidar o tipo e extensão das regiões cromossômicas.

Introdução: O câncer de pele é um dos mais prevalentes no Brasil. Objetivo: avaliar a prevalência dos casos de câncer de pele na região da 9ª Coordenadoria de Saúde do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Método: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, em que os dados foram obtidos do banco de dados de um laboratório localizado na região, no período de agosto de 2018 a agosto de 2019. Resultados: Dos 4.031 exames realizados pelo laboratório, 266 laudos eram de câncer de pele, correspondendo a 6,6 % dos casos. A prevalência de casos de câncer de pele do tipo não melanoma foi de 6 % e do tipo melanoma foi de 0,52% em toda a região. Entre os casos de câncer de pele, 91% foram do tipo não melanoma, sendo 72% do tipo basocelular e 19% do tipo espincelular. O tipo melanoma correspondeu a 9%. A maior prevalência foi no sexo feminino. Conclusão: conclui-se que o tipo não melanoma é o mais frequente na região, contudo, a prevalência de melanoma deve ser considerada importante. Apesar das ações de fotoeducação existirem em todo o país, devem ser intensificadas de forma a prevenir a ocorrência desse tipo de câncer.

Az Insurance Europe tíz európai országra (köztük Magyarországra) kiterjedő felmérése szerint a felnőtt lakosságok közel felének egyáltalán nincs önálló nyugdíj-megtakarítása, ugyanakkor túlnyomó többségük érdeklődést mutat a nyugdíjkiegészítés-célú megtakarítások iránt. Magyar-országon az európai átlagnál kissé rosszabb a helyzet.

Published: July 2021

A percepção ambiental é uma atividade mental de interação do indivíduo como meio que pode ser definida como uma tomada de consciência do meio ambiente pelo ser humano. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a percepção ambiental de educadores do campo e suas influências no processo educacional, na Comunidade Cristolândia em Humaitá-AM. A mesma foi desenvolvida através de uma pesquisa de campo com educadores da escola Municipal Antonieta Ataíde II da rede pública de ensino. Neste sentido, os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, além da observação direta que se fez necessária para estabelecer sua relação com as questões ambientais e processos educacionais. Por meio das análises dos dados verificou-se que os educadores apresentam uma visão naturalista, ou seja, percebem o ambiente de forma natural, intocável com toda sua biodiversidade. Contudo, espera-se que os resultados alcançados com esta pesquisa contribuam de forma significativa para a mudança das ações de preservação e conservação do meio ambiente na Comunidade local, onde foram detectados alguns problemas ambientais como falta de saneamento básico e a falta de coleta de lixo. Sobretudo, proporcionando subsídios para que esta veja e sinta a necessidade de preservar o meio ambiente onde se vive e principalmente a importância da mudança de hábitos e atitudes para uma melhor qualidade de vida. Além disso, os resultados desse estudo poderão ser utilizados como embasamento para elaboração de um programa de educação para o desenvolvimento da Comunidade Cristolândia, a fim de propor estratégias conduzam a uma maior conscientização ambiental.

As ONGs ambientalistas têm desempenhado relevante papel nas ações em educação ambiental mundialmente. Devido à escassez de pesquisas abrangentes sobre sua identificação e atuação, este artigo traz um mapeamento das ONGs ambientalistas do estado de São Paulo que atuam com educação ambiental, além de analisar a qualidade dessas ações sob um referencial crítico. A consulta a quatro bases de dados encontrou 276 ONGs ambientalistas, sendo que 63,4% delas atuam com educação ambiental. Realizamos, também, entrevistas com membros das ONGs, o que nos permitiu analisar a qualidade das ações a partir dos objetivos apresentados pelas próprias organizações, classificando-as quanto a sua tendência político-pedagógica predominante. Os resultados evidenciam que as ações em educação ambiental, quantitativamente, abrangem parte significativa do território e população paulista, mas, qualitativamente, elas são limitadas e até questionáveis ao tomarmos um referencial teórico crítico em educação ambiental.
Scientific provision of an effective development of soybean breeding and seed production in the Russian Far East
Authors: Sinegovskaya V. T.
Published: July 2021

In the Russian Far East, a highly profitable crop is soybean, which predominates in all farms’ crop rotation in the region. An increase in this crop production occurs here both by increasing the sown area and increasing its yield. Therefore, in scientific institutions, great attention is paid to breeding varieties that can produce high yields in conditions with limited thermal resources with adaptation to the extreme soil and climatic conditions of the region’s soybean growing zones. In 2020, 45 varieties developed by scientific institutions of the Far Eastern Federal District were introduced to the State Register of the Russian Federation and approved for use in production in code 12 region (Far Eastern), with the largest number of the entries coming from the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Soybeans. The share of cultivated areas in the Russian Far East occupied by domestic varieties was 63.7 %, the largest share of sown varieties – 48.9 % – belongs to the Federal Research Center All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Soybean. The most popular were the varieties of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Soybean, such as Alena, Kitrossa, Lydiya, Evgeniya, MK 100, Primorsky varieties (Musson, Primorskaya 4, Primorskaya 86, Primorskaya 96, Sphera) are in demand mainly in Primorsky Krai, and Khabarovsk varieties (Batya, Marinata) have an advantage in Khabarovsky Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Region. All varieties are not genetically modified and are created mainly by classical breeding methods. Breeders of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution,“Federal Research Center of Agrobiotechnology of the Far East named after A.K. Chaika” and biotechnologists carry out the selection of pairs for crossing using biotechnological methods to assess their polymorphism, instead of long-term selection for phenotypic features in the field. Evaluation of domestic and foreign varieties for disease resistance revealed a high degree of damage to foreign varieties by dangerous viral and fungal diseases. Together with Japanese scientists from the University of Niigata, the astragalus mosaic virus was detected on Canadian and Chinese varieties in Primorsky Krai and the Amur Region using DNA analysis. The carrier of this disease is soybean aphid (Aphis glycines).
