Published: October 2022

The trees support many bird and animal species while the survival of urban-dwelling species e.g. bird species dominate over others. This particular Nature park in Kolkata is the habitat of birds and fish species suggesting a better environment for food chain maintenance. The Asian open bill stork, Anastomus oscitans among other bird species is a common and provides ecosystem health indicator. The present study aims to understand the occurrence and population nos. of Asian open bill stork on particular tree species surrounding wetlands at Nature Park, Kolkata, India. Our results clearly indicate that a total population of this bird species having 671 nos. on the particular trees but not in all other available trees in the study area. In conclusion, present research emphasizes a novel occurrence and higher population of the A. oscitans being observed on the basis of the presence of particular tree species, though no attempt has been made on physico-chemical properties of present water and microclimate within the park. Therefore, further research planning should be oriented considering the physico-chemical impacts as well as local microenvironment along with human interaction as visitors in such a way so that these barriers cannot affect nesting and breeding of those species as eco-indicator. Also further relevant research is needed to emphasize on the conservation of these specific tree species to increase population of Asian open bill stork, A. oscitans in Nature park.
Detection of Coliforms in Drinking Water and its Effect on Human Health - A Review
Authors: Pal Partha
Published: October 2022

The coliform group has been used extensively as an indicator of water quality and has historically led to the public health protection concept. Total coliforms are a group of bacteria commonly found in the environment, for example in soil or vegetation, as well as the intestines of mammals, including humans. Total coliform bacteria are not likely to cause illness, but their presence indicates that the water supply may be vulnerable to contamination by more harmful microorganisms. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the only member of the total coliform group of bacteria that is found only in the intestines of mammals, including humans. The presence of E. coli in water indicates recent fecal contamination and may indicate the possible presence of disease-causing pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Although most strains of E. coli bacteria are harmless, certain strains, such as E.coli 0157:H7, may cause illness. About 80 % of communicable diseases in the world are waterborne. According to WHO estimate about 80 % of water pollution in developing country, like India is carried by domestic waste. In India 70 % of the water is seriously polluted and 75 % of illness and 80 % of the child mortality is attributed to water pollution. The improper management of water systems may cause serious problems in availability and quality of water. The major pathogenic bacteria responsible for water borne disease are spread by the faeco-oral route, in which water may play an intermediate role. The aim of this review is to examine methods currently in use for the detection of coliforms in drinking water and also to evaluate the possible health hazards associated with drinking water contaminated with coliforms.
Using Land Cover Change to Predict Forest Degradation Pressure Points, Eastern Mau Forest, Kenya
Authors: Ndubi Antony Oduya
Published: October 2022

Land cover change in any ecosystem vary in space and time. The study analyzed spatial-temporal land cover change to predict forest degradation pressure points in Eastern Mau Forest Reserve. The study objectives were to determine types and amount of spatial-temporal land cover change; land cover change drivers and; forest resources use sustainability. The study used mixed sample survey design involving purposive sampling of spatial data and cluster sampling of forest resource use data. Primary data included ground control points, field validation data and forest resource use data. Secondary data included Landsat imagery, forest and administration boundaries and settlements data. Analysis was done for 1986-2014 period using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System. The analysis techniques used included object based image segmentation and classification, accuracy assessment and land cover change detection. Land cover types in Eastern Mau Forest consisted of indigenous forest, shrubland, grassland, plantation forest, cultivated fields, bare ground and built-up area. The analysis results depicted that cultivated fields coverage increased from 1% to 47%. Indigenous and plantation forests decreased from 43% to 36% and 34% to 7% respectively. Grassland and shrubland decreased from 16% to 8% and 6% to 2% respectively. Bare ground and built up area had a change of less than 1% each. Causes of pressure that lead to forest degradation included crop cultivation, settlement construction, livestock grazing, charcoal burning, firewood collection, logging, bee keeping and medicinal herbs extraction. Land cover change was more on the eastern side than on the western side. Indigenous and plantation forests were likely to disappear if cropland and built up area expansions were to remain unchecked. The study recommendations were: resettlement activities be eliminated in the Eastern Mau Forest; excision of forest land for crop cultivation should be discouraged; and scientific research should be carried out on sustainable plantation forest activities.
Acute and Sub Lethal Effect of Potassium Cyanide on the Behaviour and ATPase Enzyme Activity in the Freshwater Fish, Clarias gariepinus (Catfish)
Authors: Oseni Kadiri
Published: October 2022

The Present research studies the acute sub lethal toxicity of potassium cyanide (KCN) in the fresh water, Clarias gariepinus and the effects on its behaviour and the Na+ - K+ ATPase enzyme activity. Acute toxicity of potassium cyanide (free cyanide) to the freshwater fish was studied using static bioassay method over a period of 96 h. Different concentrations of the toxicant (KCN) were used and LC50 value was found to be 361μg/L. Behavioural changes when exposed to lethal concentration of KCN showed increased feed intake, cannibalism, irregular swimming activity, rapid jerk movement, aggressiveness, loss of balance, opercula movement, surface behaviour, loss of equilibrium, change in body colour and convulsion. The effect of potassium on the Na+ - K+ ATPase of various physiological tissues which includes the gill, liver, muscles and intestinal over duration 0f 12 h-35 days were also studied. Cyanide intoxication resulted in marked changes in ATPase, shown by significant decrease in the enzyme activities. The result shows that ATPase enzyme together could be employed as a sensitive and useful biomarkers for cyanide pollution while the behavioural changes could be an early signal of toxicity.

Published: October 2022

The results of a magnetic study of the Okenugbo Area of Ago-Iwoye, Southwestern Nigeria are presented for the evaluation of the geostructural settings in the area to determine the competency of the basement for building constructions. The study area lies within Longitude N 06°55.389’ - N 06°55.384’ and Latitude E 03°55.001’ and E 03°55.959’ in the basement complex of Nigeria. Three magnetic profiles were established for the evaluation and the magnetic anomaly map, the regional geology and its analytic signal amplitude helped in identifying the nature and depth of the magnetic sources in the study region. The magnetic residual values range from -2400 nT to +1800 nT. The area shows magnetic closures of various sizes at the Western part of the study area trending West with prominence at the center and distributed East-West which has been interpreted as fractured or faulted zones. The depth estimate revealed the apparent depth to the causative body from the surface and the basement depth range from 4.3 to 21.3 m which agrees with other literatures. The study has revealed that the area is generally competent for high rise structures and industrial site while the faulted/fractured zones are prospective better locations for hydrogeological purposes.

Published: October 2022

A field experiment was conducted from August to November, during the 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons at the Research Farm, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria, to evaluate the yield effects of egusi melon-okra intercrop as influenced by the interaction of time of introducing okra x cropping systems, and to assess the yield advantages of the intercropping system. The experiment was a 3x3 split plot arrangement of treatments, fitted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), replicated four times. The cropping systems (sole egusi melon, sole okra and egusi melon-okra mixture) constituted the main plots, while the time of introducing okra (mid August, late August and early September) into egusi melon were allocated to the subplots. Results of study showed that to obtain optimal intercrop yield of okra in an egusi melon-okra intercrop, it is appropriate planting okra at the same time with egusi melon in mid August, while introducing okra into egusi melon in late August is appropriate to obtain optimal intercrop yield of egusi melon. Intercropping egusi melon and okra significantly (P≤0.05) reduced yields of egusi melon (37.5 % and 40.5 % respectively, in years 2012 and 2013) and that of okra (9.7 % and 16.9 % respectively, in years 2012 and 2013). The highest mean land equivalent ratio value of 1.57 and highest land equivalent coefficient values of 0.53 and 0.70 were respectively recorded, in years 2012 and 2013, for okra introduced into egusi melon in early September. These recommendations are appropriate for Makurdi location, Nigeria
Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary Clays from Spain and New Zealand: Arsenic Anomaly and the Deccan Traps
Authors: Premović Pavle I.
Published: October 2022

High arsenic (As) contents have been reported in numerous Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (KPB) clays worldwide including that from Spain (at Caravaca and Agost) and N. Zealand (at Woodside Creek). The Deccan Traps (India) enormous volcanism is one of the interpretations which have been offered to explain this anomaly. This report shows that the estimated surface densities of As in the boundary clays in Spain and New Zealand strongly contradict that anomalous As was sourced by this volcanic event.

Published: October 2022

Kelembak (Rheum officinale Baill.) is native to mainland Central China and is reported as an endangered medicinal plant. This plant in Indonesia is distributed in mountainous areas; the center of rhubarb cultivation is in the Dieng Plateau. Mainly, this plant is grown for the roots as herbal medicine material (kelembak jamu) and in the industry for cigarette ingredients (kelembak Jawa). This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity of nine accessions of R. officinale. Six selected RAPD primers were used to amplify the samples and produced 33 DNA fragments ranging from 270-2,710 bp. The genetic similarity ranged from 74.58% to 100% using the Dice similarity index. The dendrogram divided R. officinale into two main clusters separated between kelembak jamu and kelembak jawa. Cluster analysis revealed that Mangli accession (kelembak jamu) had a closer similarity to kelembak Jawa. The narrow genetic diversity of kelembak is essential information for future conservation and management programs in the cultivation of this species.
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT AND METAMORPHOSIS OF TREE FROG POLYPEDATES LEUCOMYSTAX (AMPHIBIA, Rhacophoridae)
Authors: IANGRAI A. J.
Published: October 2022

Most anurans have complex life cycles involving egg fertilization, embryo and larval development in aquatic habitats. Detailed descriptions of the ontogeny of embryonic, larval metamorphic and post metamorphic frogs are important for understanding the general patterns of development of representative taxa and, by comparisons of different patterns for resolving questions about systematic relationships. For anurans, staging tables are a condensed way of describing ontogenetic changes. Appropriate staging of the larval period, is therefore, fundamental to various life history studies of amphibians suggested that complete tables of development are necessary for accurate comparison of developmental stages in different organisms. Hence, tables of normal stages of development have been worked out for a number of species by several workers. Findings of the present study indicate that under natural environment as well as in the laboratory condition, the development and metamorphosis of Polypedates leucomystax was completed in about 60 – 61 days. This tree frog was observed to be dependent on the ephemeral pools at the breeding sites to complete their life cycle. The duration of development and metamorphosis of this tree frog seems to be similar to the other species of tree frog.
UTILIZATION OF FEEDING REGIME AND COWS’ BUTTERMILK TO IMPROVE GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS YIELD OF KARADI MALE LAMBS
Authors: KARIM GORAN MOHAMMAD , MAHMOOD AYAD BAKER
Published: October 2022

Feeding regime and buttermilk treatment influence on growth performance and carcass yield of Karadi male lambs as well as the economic return were investigated in this work. A total of 24 Karadi male lambs of 5 months old (29.58±0.4 kg) were assigned to 2 groups of feeding regimes (concentrate pelleted diet vs. whole barley grain). Lambs in each group were randomly allotted into three sub-groups for the buttermilk treatments each with 4 lambs, control: without buttermilk, T1: 1% buttermilk and T2: 2% buttermilk of lamb body weights. Three lambs of each sub-groups (18 lambs) were slaughtered at 43 kg as a final weight. Results revealed that average daily intake (ADI), total feed intake (TFI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR), lean: fat and lean: bone ratio as well as gain profit and total profit for lambs fed concentrate pellet with buttermilk were significantly (P≤0.05) higher than those of lambs fed barley without buttermilk. Feeding concentrate diet significantly (P≤0.05) increased dressing percentage based on empty body weight (EBW) compared to barley grain. Moreover, feeding concentrate pellet with buttermilk significantly (P≤0.05) decreased growth period, fat thickness, total cost and gain cost compared to those of lambs fed barley without buttermilk. Results showed a high interaction between feeding regimes and buttermilk treatments on the growth performance, carcass physical dissection and economic return. This may indicate that lambs with different level of buttermilk responded differently to type of feeding. It is concluded that growth performance, lean: fat and lean: bone ratio as well as total profit for lambs fed concentrate pellet with buttermilk were significantly higher than those of lambs fed barley without buttermilk.

Published: October 2022

Eukaryotic picophytoplankton (EPP) play vital roles in primary productivity and biogeochemical cycling in the marine environment. In this study, we explored the diversity of EPP communities in two different embayments and the shifts in their community structuring during monsoonal reversal in the northwestern Philippines. Water samples were collected weekly from late northeast (NE) monsoon to intermonsoon (IM) or summer periods (February–April 2019) in Bolinao, Pangasinan, and once in January in Masinloc, Zambales. EPP community profiling was done through targeted sequencing of the V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene. Grouping of samples based on physicochemical parameters was consistent with that of community beta diversity, suggesting strong clustering between late NE and IM periods. This exhibits short- term community shifts of EPPs possibly associated with the monsoonal transition. Specifically, overall EPP alpha diversity increased towards summer coupled with increased temperature and lower nutrient concentrations. NE monsoon samples from Bolinao and Masinloc were dominated by Chlorophyta and Stramenopiles, while Prymnesiophyta, Rhizaria, and Picozoa dominated the IM period samples in Bolinao. Specifically, the prasinophytes (Chlorophyta) Ostreococcus and Nannochloris distinguished the late NE communities of Masinloc and Bolinao, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of dominant photosynthetic EPP further revealed the presence of Clades B5 and A1 of Micromonas, as well as Clades B and E of Ostreococcus. Tree topology of Ostreococcus diversity suggests the presence of a clade distinct from other established clades, possibly indicating novel diversity in the West Philippine Sea. This is the first report of these major picophytoplankton in Philippine waters, suggesting their significance and potential “hidden” diversity, which warrants further studies.
Overexpression of Schistosome-specific Antigens for Selection of scFv Antibody from Phage Display Libraries of Water Buffalo for Potential Use in Schistosomiasis Diagnosis
Authors: Sarines Johnathan , Soriano Maville Lou , Ilag Leodevico , Hosking Christopher , Opulencia Rina
Published: October 2022

Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic parasitic disease caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma. The Kato-Katz method is the standard for the diagnosis of intestinal schistosomiasis because of its specificity, simplicity, and low cost. However, Kato-Katz is less useful in light infections and other available detection methods are neither practical nor sensitive for routine or large-scale screening. Thus, improved tests are needed for the assessment of infection. The water buffalo is a natural host and reservoir of Schistosoma but is schistosomiasis-resistant, suggesting a robust immune repertoire, which can be tapped as a source of antibodies for diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Two schistosome antigens had been previously shown to be recognized by a phage display single-chain fragment of variation (scFv) library derived from a schistosome-infected water buffalo. However, specific antibodies have not been isolated using these antigens due to a lack of sufficient amounts and purified forms of the antigens. In this study, the schistosome antigens were cloned and overexpressed in vector with solubility tag, purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC), and used to interrogate the immune scFv library to isolate and identify specific schistosome antibody. An scFv specific to schistosome SAP domain-containing hypothetical protein was isolated but was only 105-bp long although certain regions align with the IgG VL, tetraglycylserine (Gly4Ser) linker, and IgG VH sequences of synthetic scFv constructs. Despite its length, scFv A63 can be potentially designed as a ligand in direct ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) by fusion with enzyme conjugates such as alkaline phosphatase to detect S. japonicum schistosomule and adult worm. The results in this study also suggest the need to construct a bigger and more diverse scFv library and to test a wider range of schistosome antigens, specifically those that will be present on the surface of the schistosome at all stages of S. japonicum life cycle.

Published: October 2022

Flying fish is considered a low-value fish in the Philippines but is a good source of inexpensive animal protein. The challenge is to effectively utilize this vulnerable raw material to increase its market value. The study evaluated the physicochemical changes and sensory attributes of flying fish (Cheilopogon intermedius) fillets marinated in three different marinating solutions (Marinade 1: “ham flavor”; Marinade 2: “salty-sour flavor”; Marinade 3: “spiced flavor”) and control (un-marinated) followed by vacuum-packaging then stored at 4 °C for 20 d. Chemical analyses revealed a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in the total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N), histamine level, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value in the marinated fillets in comparison with the control. After 20 d of storage at 4 °C, mesophilic and psychrophilic bacterial counts reached 107–109 and 106–108 CFU/g, respectively. The panelists considered samples unfit for human consumption on Day 12 when the mesophilic and psychrophilic bacterial counts exceeded 106 CFU/g. No significant differences (p > 0.05) were detected for the overall sensory acceptability of the marinated samples; however, Marinade 1 was found to be most acceptable, followed by Marinades 2 and 3. The shelf-life of the marinated flying fish based on microbiological and sensory analyses at refrigerated storage (4 °C) was 12 d.

Authors: Zubarev Yu. A. , Alizar T. A.
Published: October 2022

Relevance. Since sport is one of the sectors of the economy and a specific business area, an alternative version of the model for managing and organizing sports games competitions is proposed, presumably increasing their economic efficiency.

The purpose of the study is to develop a model of mixed partnership (public and private), which will help adapt the activities of sports organizations to the market laws of competition and improve their financial and economic performance.

Methods and organization of the study. The basic methodological aspects of the formation of the National Professional Handball League in Belarus suggest three variants of its economic model. One of the options is based on the concept of public-private partnership. Since in the Russian Federation sport is financed mainly by the state, this model seems to us the most preferable.

A subjetividade do “ser” idoso
Authors: Mengalli Débora Machado , Hoegen Carlos
Published: October 2022

Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE em 2019 o Brasil tinha 34 milhões de pessoas acima de 60 anos de idade, com projeções de nas próximas 2 décadas esse número duplicar. Partindo desses dados se torna extremamente necessária a reflexão dos fatores que podem tornar uma velhice saudável nos âmbitos biopsicossocial. “Ser” idoso, a aposentadoria e a velhice vêm carregadas de estigmas e estereótipos negativos, devido a suas limitações físicas, que pode causar um processo de despersonalização do indivíduo. A análise deste projeto aponta que confrontar as cristalizações é importante, fomentar e criar espaços de convivência em grupo e de promoção a saúde é fundamental para que o indivíduo possa ressignificar esta fase da vida, dar sentido e novas perspectivas, além do amparo da família e da comunidade para promover uma transição tranquila e com novas alternativas e possibilidades.
Reintegração social do egresso de penitenciárias no Brasil
Authors: Cruz Lorena Stephany Lopes Moreira da
Published: October 2022

Introdução: A temática da reinserção social de indivíduos outrora privados de sua liberdade é tema relevante no que diz respeito à vida em sociedade. No Brasil, muito se tem discutido hoje se as atuais políticas públicas são suficientes à tal propósito. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi elucidar, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, se esta coletividade tem alcançado a vivência em sociedade de maneira ampla, de forma a se reintegrar ao meio social no qual se encontra inserido. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, realizada no primeiro semestre de 2021, selecionando-se estudos nacionais. Cinco artigos foram selecionados para a revisão, sendo demonstrado nestes que a reinserção do egresso de penitenciárias ainda demonstra fragilidades para um atingimento pleno. Desta forma, é possível averiguar que embora já se tenham iniciativas positivas voltadas à reinserção do egresso de penitenciárias, estas ainda são pouco eficazes no cumprimento desta premissa.

Authors: BAŞKENT Emin
Published: October 2022

Ormanların katılımcı yaklaşımla ekosistem tabanlı ve çok amaçlı planlanması sürdürülebilir ormancılığın temel hedefidir. Bu hedefe ulaşmak; meşcere gelişimlerinin kestirilmesi, işletme amaçları ile orman yapıları arasında fonksiyonel ilişkilerin kurulması ve planlamanın karar destek sistemleriyle düzenlenmesiyle ancak mümkündür. Planlama hedefleri arasında yer alan ve küresel iklim değişikliği ile gündeme gelen karbon yönetimi, büyük ölçüde ormanların geliştirilmesi, korunması ve atmosfere salınan karbonun azaltılması ve geciktirilmesine bağlıdır. Orman amenajman planları, karbon miktarının hesaplanması, tutulumun artırılması, düzeninin sağlanması ve sürdürülebilir planlama esaslarıyla birlikte tüketici davranışlarının düzenlenmesini dahi içeren bir dizi konuları da kapsar hale gelmektedir. Geleneksel işletme amaçları ve koruma hedeflerinin yanı sıra, son dönemlerde karbon tutulumunun artırılması da planlamada dikkate alınacak hedefler arasında yer almaya başlamıştır. Bu eserde, amenajman planlarının hazırlanmasında karbon artırımına yönelik planlama parametreleri ile karbon dinamikleri arasındaki ilişkiler ile karbon odaklı planlama stratejilerine yer verilmiştir.

Die Zusammenarbeit von Intensiv- und Palliativmedizin
Authors: Lesniewski Chantal
Published: October 2022

Due to demographic change, the number of elderly people with degenerative diseases is increasing. As a result, slow, non-acute dying has to be treated and accompanied more and more frequently in hospitals. This results in an interface between intensive care medicine and palliative medicine, on whose interdisciplinary cooperation there has been little research literature to date.

Using the example of palliative nursing and medical care for dying people and their relatives in Hamburg's intensive care units, the author investigates this research gap. A total of 14 nursing and medical experts were interviewed and the results analysed.

The impact of Covid-19 on Household consumption expenditure in South Africa: A macroeconomic perspective
Authors: Chimeri Remembrance , Oluwatayo Isaac
Published: October 2022

The study was motivated by how the Coronavirus (Covid-19), potentially, affected household spending in South Africa. This is because, firstly, final consumption expenditure by households accounts for the largest share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in South Africa, and therefore is a significant driver for economic growth. Secondly, expenditure by households is often used as a proxy of ascertaining the standard of living. The analysis drew data from the Household and Income and Expenditure Survey (HEIS), focusing on the period between 2010 and 2020. The results show that the Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on disposable income growth and spending of households at a macro-level. Coupled with other triggers, the contraction of the local economy resulted in job losses, with the unemployment level rising above 30% since the third quarter of 2020.
The volatility of stock market returns: Application of Monte Carlo simulation
Authors: Ilić Miloš , Digkoglou Panagiota
Published: October 2022

Stock exchange is the "mirror" of the economy and helps industry (and commerce) to accelerate the development of the country. The prices on the stock exchanges increase or decrease over the particular period and that rate represents stock market volatility. Higher stock price volatility is often associated with higher risk and indicates future fluctuations to investors in order to evaluate them. Predicting future stock price volatility can provide important information to market participants and enable them to make adequate decisions. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the stock price volatility of the Apple Company using the Monte Carlo simulation.
Resource management and performance measurement indicators in the circular economy
Authors: Aleksić Aleksandra , Rađenović Tamara , Simonović Zoran
Published: October 2022

The concept of circular economy involves the use of indicators that help measure performance by looking at the key elements of this concept. Efficient use of resources and responsible behavior towards waste through reuse of materials and recycling of raw materials are one of the basic activities and tasks of the circular economy. It is important to prevent and reduce the production of waste materials and to ensure that resources are used in several production cycles. The aim of this paper is to point out the basic aspects of efficient use of resources, to get acquainted with the basic operational principles of circularity, but also to get acquainted with the indicators that can be used for reporting. The main goal is, therefore, to understand how organizations can choose a group of indicators that will help them measure the performance of the circular economy and its activities, but also to point out the principles that are important for the application of this concept.

The goal of this paper is to point out the importance of the development of sustainable intellectual capital in modern business conditions and the role of eco-innovation within this intangible asset of the company.
The potential of online platforms compared to in-person teaching: Different experiences of teachers
Authors: Vasilijević Danijela , Bojović Žana , Semiz Marina
Published: October 2022

The first part of this paper offers a theoretical interpretation of the previous research of the methodological potential and efficiency of online teaching (especially during the Covid regime), whereas the second part is methodologically oriented towards the examination of the attitudes of teachers on the potential of the implemented distance learning platforms vs. in-person teaching. The sample is represented by 604 teachers of elementary and secondary schools from all administrative regions in the Republic of Serbia. The research was performed using descriptive method and the survey method. The results of the research showed that: a) teachers mostly do not have a positive perception of the advantages of distance learning platforms compared to traditional, in-person teaching with regards to the application of teaching technology; b) traditional teaching is considered more efficient for the quality of work of students and teachers; c) teachers do not show the expected willingness for the occasional use of the hybrid model in the future; the independent variables did not influence the final results of the research. A statistically significant difference was observed only in the attitudes of teachers of different educational cycles and the users of different learning platforms.

Authors: Županec Vera , Lazarević Tihomir , Pribićević Tijana
Published: October 2022

Innovations in technology are rapid and workers' roles in the virtual environment have changed. Due to the great need to educate professionals who need to adapt quickly, the modernization of teaching is gaining momentum. Blog is one of the internet tools that can be effectively implemented in education. The aim of the research is to experimentally test the effects of the application of the blog Biosoikoslogos in biology teaching in relation to traditional teaching and to evaluate the attitudes of first-grade high school students (15-16 years of age) towards the characteristics of the blog. The theoretical method, descriptive method, experimental method with parallel groups, and methods with pedagogical statistics were applied in the research. The results of the study showed that the students who used the blog achieved statistically significantly better results than the students who did not use the blog. The results also showed that the most important features of the blog are those that are the most helpful for students to directly facilitate learning. The analysis of the results shows that blog-based biology teaching is significantly more effective than traditional teaching, should be applied more frequently in practice, and students should evaluate blog features differently
Analysis of rs34637584 polymorphism in the LRRK2 gene in patients with Parkinson's disease
Authors: Kotlica Boba , Ristanović Momčilo , Novaković Ivana
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) belongs to neurodegenerative diseases, and since the prevalence is 1% to 2% in people older than 65 years and over 4% in people older than 85 years, it is the second most common disease in this group. The cause of PD is the death of dopaminergic neurons in the CNS, primarily in the basal ganglia and the substantia nigra. The LRRK2/PARK8 gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 12. There are many variants in this gene associated with PD, and the most common of which is mutation c.6055G>A (p.Gly2019Ser), also referred to as rs34637584. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of the c.6055G>A (rs34637584) mutation in the LRRK2 gene in a group of patients with PD from Serbia. Material and methods: The study included a group of 127 patients with PD from tertiary healthcare institutions in Serbia, as well as an appropriate control group without neurological diseases. Molecular genetic analysis was performed by real-time PCR, using a commercial TaqMan assay. Results: Mutation c.6055G>A ie. rs34637584 variant was detected in 1 of 127 examinees with PD (0.7%). That patient was without a previous family history of PD. This mutation was not found in the control group. Conclusion: The results obtained align with findings of previous studies for the European, especially the southern European population. If these results would be confirmed in a larger patient sample, testing of LRRK2 mutation c.6055G>A (rs34637584) should become part of the PD test protocol.

Fluid prescription is the basis of critical care, emergency and hospital department therapy. Fluid management is directed according to daily fluid needs and output, body weight, sodium, potassium and glucose content. The consideration of potential risks of fluid overload presents advanced strategy in practice. Monitoring and recording of intravenous and other fluid management is of utmost importance but it is usually poor. Scientific research in the last fifteen years announces a new era in fluid therapy. At the beginning, volume of fluid was pointed out both in the area of initial critical care presentation and the period after the resuscitation. Then, the scientific data about fluid composition increased attention to potential adverse effects of fluid and electrolyte accumulation. Finally, it becomes apparent that fluid and electrolyte overload may influence patient outcomes. Everything previously mentioned was mainly studied in critical care patients and produced new apprehention of the fluid as the solitary drug. The aim of this mini review was to point out the importance of defining fluid as the drug and to present main definitions in this area in this moment.
Anaesthetic confronts in management of pediatric teratomas: An unique case series
Authors: Renuka R. , Venkatachalapathy T.S.
Published: October 2022

Teratomas are bizarre neoplasms that most commonly occur in infancy and childhood. Since surgical therapy is the primary treatment modality for any type of teratoma, we as anesthesiologists encounter these cases when they come for surgical removal. Providing anesthesia services for these cases is challenging because of the age at presentation, the complexity of the surgical condition, the inherent anomalies associated with it, and also the existing literature gaps in anesthesia management for these cases. In order to close this knowledge gap and to support future anesthesia planning, this case series was framed.
