Medicinal Plants in the Records of Latvian Folk Medicine and Analysis of Their Practical Applications. Summary of the Doctoral Thesis
Authors:   ,   Rīga Stradiņš University, Sīle Inga
Published: August 2021

Medicinal plant knowledge in Europe is rooted in a long history of health traditions. Numerous ethnobotanical studies across Europe have addressed the increasing importance of the traditional use of medicinal plants. Latvia is a country with old folk medicine traditions and an extensive folk knowledge archive. The aim of this thesis was to collect and analyse knowledge about the use of the medicinal plants found in the records of Latvian folk medicine and to search for new ideas regarding the practical applications of these plants. This thesis reveals, for the first time to the international scientific community, the important ethnobotanical information contained in the records of Latvian folk medicine that had not yet been translated into English and are therefore less visible to researchers from all over the world. This thesis provides a list of the used plant species and plant parts, the dosage forms of herbal medicines, the routes of administration, and the disorders treated with medicinal plants mentioned in the records of Latvian folk medicine and used by indigenous people of Latvia in the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th centuries. In total, the thesis includes information on 211 plant taxa, most of which were utilized for the treatment of digestive and respiratory system disorders. To understand whether the information mentioned in the folklore material is relevant today, it was compared with evidence-based information regarding the uses of the listed plant, including official herbal monographs. During this study, it was concluded that only 59 plant taxa mentioned in the studied records of Latvian folk medicine are included in the official monographs of the European Medicines Agency, and most of the plant indications mentioned in the records have not been described in evidence-based monographs. After the systematic analysis of folklore materials, additional information on the molecular mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory activities of Pelargonium sidoides DC. and Prunus padus L. were investigated to confirm their traditional use for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The obtained results provide evidence that both plant extracts exhibit pronounced in vitro and ex vivo anti-inflammatory activities, supporting their use in Latvian ethnomedicine as effective anti-inflammatory agents. The obtained results are important as they provide ideas for further research related to possibilities regarding the use of plants growing in the territory of Latvia and allow new perspectives to be gained for both national and international ethnobotanical research.

Indonesia has great potential in the development of the agribusiness sector. One of the sectors that can be developed is the livestock sector. Milk is one of the livestock products that are consumed daily by the community. In 2019, Indonesia's milk consumption was recorded at 16.23 liters/capita/year. Indonesia's milk consumption is still relatively low compared to Singapore and Malaysia. This study aims to determine public perception of milk and milk consumption, and public interest in milk consumption. Data were obtained from interviews through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that 65.6% of respondents chose a positive view of milk, 57.43% of respondents had a positive view of milk consumption and 74.16% of respondents had a positive opinion of the benefits of milk. There are 40% of respondents who have a moderate purchase frequency, 73.3% of respondents have a low consumption frequency and 61.7% of respondents have a low milk consumption measure.Keywords: Milk, Public Perception, Public Interest, Reason
Gender difference in cruciate ligament of the knee in normal condition and the risk to its injury; an updated review
Authors: Yasser Alharbi
Published: August 2021

Anterior ligament is a broad ligament in the knee joint. Anterior ligament tears are one of the commonest injuries occurring to athletes. Numerous studies have investigated the epidemiology and risk factors to anterior Ligament injury. It has been documented that anterior Ligament tears are more common among females. In this review, we presented a collective summary of ligaments variations between genders in normal conditions and in different illnesses. Moreover, we illustrated the different response between genders to trauma and as regards the effect on the ligaments. We also presented a summary of the risk factors and types of injury to the ligaments in response to different modes of trauma. We summarized the most prevalent, recent and evidence-based risk factors of anterior Ligament injuries which include genetic, hormonal, anatomical, environmental, and risk factors. We emphasized on the relationship between age, hormones and the incidence of anterior ligament injuries during puberty, older ages and changes accompanying menstrual cycles. We conclude that risk factors are numerous, but the higher prevalence in females can be predictable based on these factors and therefore preventable. However, further studies are required to deeper investigate the recovery predictive factors after injury and determine better approaches to tackle these risk factors.

Published: August 2021

General consensus states that immunoglobulins are exclusively expressed by B lymphocytes to form the first line of defense against common pathogens. Here, we provide compelling evidence for the expression of two heavy chain immunoglobulin genes in subpopulations of neurons in the mouse brain and spinal cord. RNA isolated from excitatory and inhibitory neurons through ribosome affinity purification revealed Ighg3 and Ighm transcripts encoding for the constant (Fc), but not the variable regions of IgG3 and IgM. Because, in the absence of the variable immunoglobulin regions, these transcripts lack the canonical transcription initiation site used in lymphocytes, we screened for alternative 5′ transcription start sites and identified a novel 5′ exon adjacent to a proposed promoter element. Immunohistochemical, Western blot, and in silico analyses strongly support that these neuronal transcripts are translated into proteins containing four Immunoglobulin domains. Our data thus demonstrate the expression of two Fc-encoding genes Ighg3 and Ighm in spinal and supraspinal neurons of the murine CNS and suggest a hitherto unknown function of the encoded proteins.

Abstract

 

The demand for rural public transportation is dominated by people who cannot access private vehicles. In terms of the number of operating routes and the performance of their services, currently rural public transport services tend to decline. The mobility of rural communities to reach social facilities can be hampered if there is no public transportation service, which in turn will reduce the quality of human resources in rural areas. This study focuses on the movement characteristics of rural public transport passengers in Kuningan Regency. Several rural transportation routes were taken as samples, namely route 030 Cilimus-Linggarjati, route 061 Cilimus-Mandirancan, and route 037 Lengkong-Rancakeusik. This study shows that the characteristics of the movement of rural public transport passengers are an integral part in an effort to maintain rural public transport services. These characteristics of passenger movement can be used to improve the performance of public transportation, become input for public transport operators, and become material for local governments to make policies

 

Keywords: rural public transportation; public transport routes; public transport services; public transport performance.

Published: August 2021

Neste texto, apresentamos reflexões em prol da aprendizagem enquanto afetação dos corpos dos aprendizes para os conteúdos do som no ensino de Ciências. Para tanto, buscamos estabelecer relações com as propostas de Latour e de outros autores, que assumem os espaços sociais como sendo performados por redes sociomateriais em que atores humanos e não humanos se inter-relacionam simetricamente. Tal concepção compreende a aprendizagem enquanto um resultado da performance de atores e que um corpo que aprende é aquele que é afetado por essa rede sociomaterial. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa em educação, desenvolvemos uma análise documental sobre o Currículo Referência do Estado de Minas Gerais (CREMG) entendendo-o como uma entidade que se propõe a estabilizar as redes de ensino no Estado. Em nossas análises, constatamos que, nas partes relacionadas aos conteúdos do som para as Ciências das séries finais do Ensino Fundamental, o documento oferece abordagens que pouco afetariam o corpo/ouvido desse aluno. Contudo, verificamos outras possibilidades de resgatar ontologias sobre “o som” e “o mundo” presentes no próprio CREMG quando analisamos as proposições nos campos das experiências para Educação Infantil, do corpo na Educação Física e da dimensão estésica da aprendizagem na Educação Artística.

Unsteady operating modes of a "hot" oil pipeline considering the thermal field of the surrounding ground
Authors: Лурье Михаил Владимирович , Чупракова Наталья Петровна
Published: August 2021

Рассматривается нестационарный процесс замещения нефти на участке подземного «горячего» нефтепровода. Как правило, для определения параметров данного процесса используют тепловой закон Ньютона, предусматривая мгновенное установление стационарного теплового поля окружающего грунта. Однако в действительности с изменением температуры перекачиваемой нефти по длине трубопровода происходит постепенное остывание (или нагрев) массива грунта, что существенно изменяет величину теплового потока от перекачиваемой жидкости в окружающую среду. В статье предложен упрощенный метод расчета переходных режимов работы «горячего» нефтепровода, основанный на введении параметра средней температуры окружающего грунта, вследствие чего становится возможным учесть не мгновенную, а постепенную перестройку теплового поля грунта и более точно определить значение теплового потока, определяющего передачу тепла от жидкости в трубопроводе в окружающую среду. Показано, что при изменении условий нагрева температура перекачиваемой нефти, а также время выхода нефтепровода на новый стационарный температурный и гидравлический режимы существенно зависят от инерции теплового поля грунта.

The non-stationary process of oil replacement in the underground hot oil pipeline section is examined. As a rule, to determine the parameters of this process, Newton’s law of cooling is used, providing for the instantaneous establishment of a stationary thermal field of the surrounding soil. However, in reality, with a change in the temperature of the pumped oil, a gradual cooling (or heating) of the soil mass occurs along the entire length of the pipeline, which significantly changes the amount of thermal flux from the pumped liquid into the environment. The article proposes a simplified calculation method of transient operating modes of hot oil pipelines based on the introduction of the average temperature of the surrounding soil parameter. As a result of this, it becomes possible to take into account not instant but gradual restructuring of the soil thermal field and more accurately determine the value of the thermal flux, which determines the transfer of heat from the liquid in the pipeline to the environment. It is shown that when the heating conditions change, the temperature of the pumped oil, as well as the time for the oil pipeline to reach a new stationary temperature and hydraulic regimes, significantly depend on the inertia of the soil thermal field.
El suplemento sábado del unomásuno: Breve panorama de la hegemonía cultural en México durante el XX a través del periodismo cultural
Authors: Argueta Castañeda Aleida Alexandra
Published: August 2021

Este artículo describe, a través de la reconstrucción del campo cultural mexicano durante el siglo XX, la lucha del suplemento cultural sábado, del periódico unomásuno, por el monopolio de la legitimidad en el periodismo cultural en el México moderno. Muestra, asimismo, el proceso de configuración de la hegemonía cultural en el país haciendo uso del concepto de ‘’naciones intelectuales’’ y abordando las dimensiones intelectual y política de las producciones culturales. A través de una revisión histórica, se explica el papel de las publicaciones periódicas para demostrar (y desmontar) las posturas políticas e intelectuales dentro del campo, retomando el concepto de ‘’autonomía relativa’’ para hablar del suplemento sábado como un medio donde predomina la ausencia del Estado y su poder coercitivo dentro de sus publicaciones.

Published: August 2021

Después de la intervención feminista sobre el Monumento a la Independencia, aunado a otras acciones históricas en contra de comisiones del Estado, se ha vuelto crítico el cuestionamiento sobre la "profanación" de monumentos identitarios y obras de arte para actualizarlos históricamente a través de un proceso de violencia creativa. Basados en el concepto post-estético de Raum o espacio, expuesto por Heidegger, entendido tanto como presencia, así como el vacío para convenir significado, aunado al nuevo concepto de “arte vacío” (Leerraumkunst), esta investigación realiza un estudio filosófico e historiográfico del monumento a la independencia, junto con la intervención feminista sobre el mismo. Teniendo en cuenta el término Heideggariano de "preservación" en el arte, esta investigación vendrá a demostrar cómo actos de intervención en el arte del estado pueden ser equivalentes a tal concepto. Esta discusión nos permitirá cruzar el puente de la singularidad de este evento histórico, a una verdad ontológica que pueda cuestionar la sacralización totalitaria del arte identitario del estado.

Published: August 2021

Crude oil-polluted environment serves as a reservoir of microbial species, especially bacteria. Determining these bacterial genera is of great benefit to environmental assessment and recovery. This study evaluated the bacteria and selected heavy metals present in crude oil-polluted sites in K-dere community, Ogoniland. The study was carried out at the Department of Microbiology, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Crude oil-polluted soil, water, and sediment samples were collected from K-dere community, Ogoniland. The pH and heavy metals composition of each sample was determined using pH meter and spectrophotometer, respectively, while isolation and biochemical characterization were done to evaluate the heterotrophic and hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria present in each sample. Results revealed that iron (Fe) had the highest concentration in the soil (898.77±0.022 mg/kg) and sediment (1556.7±0.163 mg/kg) samples, while lead (Pb) had the lowest overall concentration. The concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) (10410.5 mg/kg) in soil sample exceeded the DPR standard limit of 5000 mg/kg for soil. The results of total culturable heterotrophic bacterial counts (TCHBC) and total culturable hydrocarbon utilizing bacterial counts (TCHUBC) showed that soil and sediment samples had the highest TCHBC and TCHUBC values of 2.66 ± 0.03 x 108 CFU/mL and 4.7 ± 0.14 x 107 CFU/mL respectively. Morphological and biochemical characterization of the isolates revealed the presence of Pseudomonas spp, Bacillus spp, Acidiphilium spp, Mycobacterium spp and Leptospirillum spp in the samples with Pseudomonas spp having the highest percentage occurrence. This study has revealed the presence of useful bacterial species in the sampled sites which can be harnessed for an in situ cleaning of crude oil- contaminated site, especially in the tropical region.
Recovery of glucosamine and optimization of chitin extraction with acid and alkali process from shells of sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in Greece
Authors: Kostas Katsoulis
Published: August 2021

Mussel wastes include byproducts such as seed, barnacles fouling, broken shells, byssus threads, which are associated with serious environmental impacts on aquatic ecosystems. The objective of reducing wastes and to avoid environmental problems can be achieved by establishing alternative methods to valorize mussel wastes converting them into high value-added products. The present study aims to obtain by chemical methods the extraction of chitin and glucosamine from shells of Mytilus galloprovincialis. Chitin, which chemically is a linear polysaccharide of β (1→4) linked N-acetylglucosamine monomers, possesses multifunctional properties and is suitable for various applications mainly in pharmaceutical, biomedical food and packaging fields. Glucosamine (C6H13NO5) is an amino sugar (2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose) and is a part of the structure of two polysaccharides, chitosan and chitin. Due to its high aqueous solubility and physical stability is used as a potential solid-dispersion carrier to improve the biopharmaceutical properties of drugs. The influence of temperature, solid/liquid ratio (g/ml), molarity of solutions and agitation on chitin production and acid hydrolysis of chitin was studied to achieve optimum output of chitin and glucosamine. Our results demonstrates that the production of glucosamine and chitin is greatly influenced by the experimental conditions. The best yield for glucosamine was obtained at a solid/liquid ratio of 1:15 at 60°C for 1 hour.

Published: August 2021

Certain characteristics defining fluvial geomorphology have been linked with a wide range of ecological events that generate effects on the vital components of river systems. The Binahaan River in Leyte, Philippines, is important for irrigation and potable water distribution but little research has been conducted about it. Our objective was to generate baseline data on the river by developing a model showing the geomorphic typologies of its 4.5 km portion. Using Rosgen’s classification, we identified 12 typologies with the following key parameters: entrenchment ratio, width-to-depth ratio, sinuosity, slope, and channel material. Typology B5c — denoting moderate values for sinuosity and the entrenchment and width-to-depth ratios, and low slope range with sand as channel material — dominated the stretch. Data show that while some parts of the river are covered with silt/clay, sand occupied 57% of the identified typologies. Furthermore, many parts of the stretch were moderately entrenched and had high width-to-depth ratios. Sand mining generally disturbed the river and caused lower recovery potential for affected areas than the rest of the stretch. The identified typologies of the Binahaan River will be significant components for future research focusing on biodiversity and its relationship with the river’s geomorphology.

Metal objects were used for various purposes like in the production, decoration, and painting of metallic coins, kitchenwares, and as structural components from ancient ages to the present. Metal extraction and processing ability became one of the important factors to determine the development level of society. For this reason, repairing and protecting the ancient artifacts buried underground or in an aqueous environment that recovered from the archaeological excavations and historical sites is extremely important to protect the history and cultural heritage of society. Historical artifacts are very fragile against environmental factors after their removal from the dig sites and thus rapid intervention procedures are required. Furthermore, historical artifacts exhibited without an application of a protective coating can easily corrode at an increased rate against atmospheric conditions over time. Therefore, developing new approaches for the preservation of metallic objects of cultural heritage has significant importance. It is necessary to know the type of metal to be processed as the coating to be developed for protection will be determined according to the type of metal. Primarily, metal surfaces must be cleansed from the corroded layer followed by developing and applying a structure able to isolate the metal from the environment in order to prevent corrosion. Various materials such as waxes, oils and greases, polymers, glasses and glassy enamels, metallic, and organic coatings have been used to develop corrosion-resistant coatings. Soluble corrosion inhibitors have also been used, which can promote the spontaneous formation of a protective barrier film on surfaces. The structures to be used in the protection of the ancient artifacts must have specific features:
• must not cause a change in color and has to preserve authenticity in visual appearance,
• easy to apply,
• low cost,
• reversibility in some cases, i.e. easy to remove from the surface,
• environmentally friendly, non-toxic.
In this review, the methods commonly used for the protection of archaeological artifacts are examined and their advantages and disadvantages are stated.

Authors: Koçak Talha Kemal
Published: August 2021

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have detrimental health effects such as cancer and mutation, abound in rivers. To employ effective mitigation strategies, accurate determination of PAHs in water bodies is essential. In this study, PAHs in the Batman River were investigated. Specifically, the study has two aims: (1) determining whether there are any statistical differences between the Liquid-liquid (LL) and Solid-phase (SP) extraction techniques of PAHs; and (2) investigation of PAH contamination and the potential sources of PAHs in the Batman River. Methodologically, four different samples were collected and one part of each sample was extracted with the LL and the other part with the SP. Later, each extract was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the analysis results of the LL and SP extracts were statistically compared. PAH concentrations were 85.5 and 76.7 ng/L for the means of the LL and SP extracts, respectively. Based on the t-test, the differences between these two means were not significant (p-value=0.684 > 0.05). Similarly, no statistical differences were observed between the analysis results of the LL and SP extracts for any individual PAHs. As for the source analysis, the results indicated that road vehicles and coal combustion were the possible sources of PAH contamination in the river. This study provides the first data set for PAH contamination in the Batman River.

When gender matters in scientific communication: The role of generic language

Prior research has documented gender differences in self-presentation and self-promotion. For example, a recent analysis of scientific publications in the biomedical sciences reveals that articles with women in lead author positions (first and last) included fewer positive words to describe their results than articles with men in lead author positions. Here we examined the role of gender in peer-reviewed publications in psychology, with a focus on generic language. When authors describe their results using generic statements (e.g., “Introverts and extraverts require different learning environments”), those statements gloss over variability, frame an idea as broad, timeless, and universally true, and have been judged to be more important. In a sample of 1,149 psychology articles published in 2015-16 from 11 journals, we found that women in lead author positions were less likely to employ generic language than men in lead author positions, and that publications with more generic language received more citations (as did publications authored by men). We discuss how a subtle gender difference in self-presentation may have direct consequences for how a scientific finding is interpreted and cited, with potential downstream consequences for career advancement for women and men.
An Exploration of the Validity of the Malevolent Creativity Behavior Scale (MCBS)

Strong and growing interest in Malevolent Creativity has created a need for valid and reliable measures of, among other things, malevolent creative ideation. The Malevolent Creativity Behavior Scale (MCBS) was created in response to weaknesses identified in earlier studies of malevolent creativity. However, concerns over the face validity of the MCBS, coupled with an increasing popularity of the scale in empirical studies, prompted an examination of the construct and concurrent (i.e. predictive) validity of the MCBS. The results of this study suggest that the MCBS has poor validity: it measures neither creative nor malevolent ideation sufficiently well to warrant its use in empirical studies of malevolent creativity. These findings caution against the uncritical use of a poorly constructed scale in malevolent creativity research, as well as the on-going need for an instrument to address this measurement gap.
Towards a taxonomy of inhibition-related processes: A dual-task approach

The ability to inhibit responses is key to controlled behavior and is commonly investigated with the stop-signal paradigm. The authors investigated how response inhibition is situated within a taxonomy of control processes by combining multiple forms of control within novel dual tasks. Response inhibition, as measured by stop-signal reaction time (SSRT), was impaired when combined with shape matching, but not the flanker task, and when combined with cued task switching, but not predictable task switching, suggesting that response inhibition may be weakly or variably impaired when combined with selective attention and set switching demands, respectively. Response inhibition was consistently impaired when combined with the N-back or directed forgetting tasks, putative measures of working memory. Impairments of response inhibition by other control demands appeared to be driven by task context rather than evoked control demands, as SSRT slowing was similar for trials where control demands were either present (e.g., task switch) or absent (e.g., task stay). These results were initially identified in a discovery sample and subsequently validated in a pre-registered analysis of a held-out sample of subjects (N = 33 and 33, respectively). Taken together, these results show that response inhibition processes are often impaired in the context of other control demands, even on trials where direct engagement of those other control processes is not required. This suggests a taxonomy of control in which response inhibition overlaps with related control processes, especially working memory.
The Intersection of Human and Artificial Creativity

The rise of Industry 4.0 – the proliferation of cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, big data, and automation – has turned attention, once again, to the interaction between humans and robots . Captivating attention in both academic and public spheres, the debate on how humans and robots interact largely centres around the interplay between human and artificial cognition. The human-robot cognition interaction fuels practical inquiries into the formation of high-performing human-robot teams, leveraging robots to enhance human cognition, and the capacity for robots to overtake human cognition. At the heart of these conversations, however, lies a critical question – what does the Future of Work look like? (see, for example, OECD, 2017). As robots take on more and more tasks previously performed by humans, where does that leave the human worker?
