Authors: I N. T. ARIANA , . BULKAINI
Published: March 2022

This study aims to determine the impact of the difference in cutting time on the weight of offals (internal offals and external offals). The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and six replica- tions. The treatments were: Slaughter on the first day (W1), slaughter on the second day (W2) and slaughter on the third day (W3). The results of the study were that broiler chickens reared in a closed house system and slaughtered on the second and third days experienced a decrease in internal offals weight in the liver by 8.50 – 18.91% and on internal fat 36.74 – 60.77% (P<0.05). The difference in slaughter time did not cause a decrease in internal offal weight in the heart, intestines and gallbladder weight (P>0.05). External offals on the neck there was a weight loss of 4.01 – 8.04% as a result of the difference in slaughter time of 2 – 3 days (P<0.05). The difference in slaughter time had no impact on head weight and foot weight (P>0.05). The conclusion of this study is that the difference in slaughter time of 1-3 days causes a decrease in liver weight and internal fat (internal offals) and a decrease in neck weight (eksternal offals).

Published: March 2022

Background. Crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) is a rapidly progressive and rare cause of glomerulonephritis in childhood. The aim of this study is to evaluate demographic data of children with crescentic glomerulonephritis, to classify the etiologies and to investigate the correlation between the severity of kidney disease and the expression of CD163+ macrophages.
Methods. Between the years 2000 and 2016 in a single center, patients under 18 years of age with kidney biopsies containing crescents were included in the study. A total of 88 children were enrolled. The expression of CD163 in kidney tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry in 61 patients. Clinical features and outcome were collected from their medical records.
Results. The most common etiology was Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) nephritis/Immunglobulin A vasculitis (26.1%), followed by lupus nephritis (22.7%) and idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis (18.2%). CD163 positive cell counts in patients with GFR levels less and more than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 at their last visit were 7.6±6.6 cells vs. 2.0±3.0 cells (p=0.057) per one glomerulus and 52.2±18.2 cells/hpf vs. 33.3±10.0 cells/hpf (p < 0.05) in tubulointerstitium, respectively. Tubulointerstitital CD163+ cells were also found to be higher in patients with end stage kidney disease than complete and partial responders (68 cells/hpf vs 39 cells/hpf, p < 0.05).
Conclusions. CD163 positive cell counts, particularly in tubulointerstitial areas, have been associated with poor prognosis of CGN.

Published: March 2022

Background. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions regarding the prevalence of COVID-19 in children and the association of this with education have started. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 infection in asymptomatic school children within a limited period while face-to-face education continued.
Methods. This is a descriptive and retrospective study. Screening was carried out in the schools in the three major districts of the metropolitan municipality when face-to-face education was practiced. COVID-19 RT-PCR swab samples were collected from 4,658 students from 46 schools at preschool, primary, secondary, and high school levels by using the stratified sampling method. Screening results were retrospectively analyzed by the researchers.
Results. The mean age of the children included in the study was 10.6±3.2 (5-17). Only 46 students` COVID-19 RT-PCR results were positive; the positivity rate was higher in male students than in female students (p > 0.05); the students living in the third region had a higher positivity rate than the other students, there was a statistical difference between them (p < 0.001); there were no positive cases in 26 (56.7%) schools, and the spreader rate of the school children was 0.98%.
Conclusions. We determined in the study that the prevalence of COVID-19 infection was not high in asymptomatic school children in the period when schools were open. This may play a role in directing the education and training during the pandemic.
Iron deficiency is not always innocent in childhood: a rare diagnosis of collagenous gastritis
Authors: Çakar Sevim , Çakır Yasemin
Published: March 2022

Background. Collagenous gastritis (CG) is a very rare disease with still lots of unknowns, characterized by the subepithelial collagenous band in the gastric mucosa associated with a mixed inflammatory infiltrate in the lamina propria.
Case. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common and usually single laboratory finding without any complaint at the time of diagnosis. This entity should be well-known so that we can examine and refer the patient to a pediatric gastroenterologist for differential diagnosis.
Conclusions. The histopathological evaluation, albeit invasive, is essential to exclude this diagnosis. We present a 13-year-old girl with intractable iron deficiency anemia due to CG.

Published: March 2022

Background. Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO < sub > 2 < /sub > ) samples are lower in children and higher in fetuses when compared with venous samples. The correlation and prediction of pCO < sub > 2 < /sub > from umbilical venous (UVBG) to umbilical arterial blood gas (UABG) dyad in neonates are identified.
Methods. A prospective study was performed from July 2018 to December 2019. Two dependent tests and a multivariate regression model were used to analyze the comparison and correlation tests.
Results. A total of 116 paired UABG and UVBG samples were obtained. The medians (interquartile ranges, IQR) were as follows: gestational age of 34 (29-37) weeks, birth weight of 2122 (1146-2839) g, and postnatal age of 2.3 (1.4-10.8) h. The median (IQR) pCO < sub > 2(UABG) < /sub > and pCO < sub > 2(UVBG) < /sub > measurements were 40.2 (33.5-45.8) and 40.4 (34.7-46.8) mmHg, respectively (rho = 0.75, p < 0.001). The median of the differences (IQR) in pCO < sub > 2(UABG) < /sub > and pCO < sub > 2(UVBG) < /sub > was -0.9 (-4.7 to 2.3) mmHg, (p = 0.06). The equation to predict pCO < sub > 2(UABG) < /sub > was 0.9 × pCO < sub > 2(UVBG) < /sub > + 4, as derived from simple linear regression. The best model for predicting pCO < sub > 2(UABG) < /sub > was 0.9 x pCO < sub > 2(UVBG) < /sub > - 0.7 × venous base excess + 0.6 × 5-min Apgar score + 6.1 × meconium aspiration syndrome - 7.7 × patent ductus arteriosus - 6.5 (adjusted r < sup > 2 < /sup > = 0.74).
Conclusions. pCO < sub > 2(UVBG) < /sub > correlates with and can predict pCO < sub > 2(UABG) < /sub > . Therefore, pCO < sub > 2(UVBG) < /sub > can be applied to pCO < sub > 2(UABG) < /sub > in neonates for whom UAC insertion is unsuccessful or to avoid an arterial puncture.

Published: March 2022

Background. Tetrasomy 9p is a rare genetic condition which usually results from a supernumerary isochromosome derived from the short arm of chromosome 9. Phenotypic findings include multiple congenital anomalies, facial dysmorphism, growth and developmental delays, and also vary according to the presence and degree of mosaicism.
Case. We report on a newborn with tetrasomy 9p who deceased in the newborn period. She had facial features including low-set and anteverted ears, hypertelorism, prominent nasal bridge, and microretrognathia. Bilateral ventriculomegaly, vermian hypoplasia and corpus callosum agenesis were detected on magnetic resonance imaging and double outlet right ventricle (tetralogy of Fallot type), secundum atrial septal defect, and persistent left superior vena cava were displayed by echocardiography. Microarray analysis revealed 38,584 kb tetrasomic region at 9p24.3p13.1. We also present a review of the literature suggesting that there is a recognizable phenotype for this condition and an assessment of cardiac manifestations based on the size and the localization of the breakpoints.
Conclusions. We conclude that cardiac manifestations do not differ according to the localization of the breakpoint. Persistent left superior vena cava seems to be consistent with breakpoints distal to q12, but the present case is different from them by breakpoint p13.1.

Authors:   Doctor of Physical Therapy, American International College, USA, P Carley
Published: March 2022

The purpose of this research study is to compare the reliability of measuring active cervical range of motion performed with the universal goniometer with an FDA approved XRHealth virtual reality computer program and the Oculus Rift. Methods: The design of the study is a single-blinded randomized controlled study. A sample size of 40 adults was recruited via email, posters, and person to person recruitment. The sample was comprised of males and females, ages 20 to 72-year-old. Equipment included a large universal goniometer with 12-inch arms and a covered full circle plastic body, oculus rift with a computer, VR Health System, chair with arms and a gait belt to control for trunk movements. All four investigators underwent a training session in the measurement of cervical range of motion utilizing a universal goniometer. Each participant was measured with each tool twice. Results: Virtual reality demonstrated a statistically significant difference from the standard goniometer methods at a 99% confidence level (p=0.01). Both tools (goniometer and virtual reality) were found to have good to excellent inter-rater reliability. Conclusion: This study suggests a virtual reality method can be used as a reliable clinical tool in comparison with the universal goniometric cervical active range of motion measurement. Recommendations for future studies should be focused on establishing the validity of virtual reality as an assessment tool using a larger sample size with a wide age range and those who have current cervical discomfort or are experiencing functional limitations in cervical ranges of motion.

Published: March 2022

The study of the relationship between information and money is one of the most relevant, widely discussed and yet difficult issues to explore. However, many aspects remain unclear, requiring deeper research and understanding. The object of this study was the nature of subjective assessments, their qualitative and quantitative characteristics in  relation to the direct exchange of things. The content of objective exchange value as a relative value that is not measurable has been revealed in the article. It carries with it information about the proportion of things exchanged. The quantitative ratio of the value of the available monetary units and the units value of goods exchanged for them determines the price of money. The connection between commodity and credit money has been traced. It has been proved that money fulfills its information function as imaginary, ideal money. It has been concluded about the spontaneous adaptation of the competitive markets, money and prices information system to the conditions of falling purchasing power of money.

The paths to carbon neutrality in the Russian electric power industry
Authors: Lyubimova N. G.
Published: March 2022

The Paris Climate Agreement has endorsed a strategic course towards “carbon neutrality” by 2050. Currently, all or at least most of the anthropogenic CO2 emission in Russia is absorbed by forests. The main sources of CO2 emission are fuel and energy sectors, including the electric power industry and transport. The introduction of a “carbon” tax can cause big losses for Russian manufacturers. To reduce the carbon intensity of electricity production and maintain “carbon neutrality” in the future Russia has to increase generation at nuclear, hydroelectric and other renewable energy sources, take measures to improve the fuel combustion efficiency at coal-fired power plants and introduce more economical gas turbine and combined cycle equipment installations at gas power plants.

The kappa opioid receptor (KOR) is involved in the regulation of both reward and mood processes. Recent reports find that the use of drugs of abuse increases the production of dynorphin and overall activation of KOR. Long-acting KOR antagonists, such as norbinaltorphimine (nor-BNI), JDTic, and 5'-guanidinonaltrindole (GNTI), are shown to halt depressive and anxiety-related disorders, which are the common side effects of withdrawal that can lead to the relapse of drug use. Unfortunately, these prototypical KOR antagonists are known to induce selective KOR antagonism that is delayed by hours and extremely prolonged, and their use in humans comes with serious safety concerns because they possess a large window for potential drug-drug interactions. Additionally, their persisted pharmacodynamic activities can hinder the ability to reverse unanticipated side effects instantly. Herein we report our studies on the lead selective, salvinorin-based KOR antagonist (1) as well as nor-BNI on C57BL/6N mice for spontaneous cocaine withdrawal. Assessment of pharmacokinetics showed 1 to be a short-acting compound with an average half-life of 3.75 h across different compartments (brain, spinal cord, liver, and plasma). Both 1 (5 mg/kg) and nor-BNI (5 mg/kg) were shown to reduce spontaneous withdrawal behavior in mice, with 1 producing additional anti-anxiety-like behavior in a light-dark transition test (however, no mood-related effects of 1 or nor-BNI were observed at the current dosing in an elevated plus maze or a tail suspension test). Our results support the study of selective, short-acting KOR antagonists for the treatment of psychostimulant withdrawal and the associated negative mood states that contribute to relapse. Additionally, we identified pertinent interactions between 1 and KOR via computational studies, including induced-fit docking, mutagenesis, and molecular dynamics simulations, to gain insights into the design of future selective, potent, and short-acting salvinorin-based antagonists.
Recycling of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers in a Subcritical Acetic Acid Solution
Authors: Shetty Shreyas , Pinkard Brian , Novosselov Igor
Published: March 2022

A novel single-stage solvolysis process is demonstrated for recycling carbon fibers from an epoxy-based composite material using 50 wt% acetic acid solution under subcritical conditions. The process yields 100% recovery efficiency for fibers in less than 30 min at 300 °C. Qualitative SEM / EDS analysis of the fibers reveals that the recovered fibers are entirely free of resin, while the carbon fiber surfaces were not damaged. SEM images and gravimetric measurements of the composites treated at lower temperatures and short residence times show an initial increase in mass of the CFRP samples, suggesting a two-step process, consisting of initial composite swelling due to uptake of solvent, followed by depolymerization and chemical decomposition of the polymer. FTIR and GC-MS analyses confirm resin decomposition and production of aromatic and aliphatic compounds, which could potentially be recovered for re-use.

Published: March 2022

The article examines the problem of organizing prostitution and the specific historical plot of the attempt of the Siberian bureaucracy to solve the social problems of the region by means of buying corrupt women. Prostitution, one of the phenomena of everyday life of society since ancient times, in this context is considered as a way of realizing the natural needs of not only an intimate, but also socio-economic nature. The purpose of the work is to disclose the conditions and nature of the organization of prostitution in the eastern outskirts of the Russian empire and attempts to use it as a tool to solve social problems. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicity, objectivity, as well as on micro-historical and problem-chronological research methods. The main source of research was archival materials not previ-ously published contained in regional and federal archives, which are correspondence between the highest Siberian officials. The paper presents a brief historiography of the problem, contain-ing the main conceptual directions in the study of issues of the intimate life of society in the 19th century. The state played the main role in the regulation of prostitution in the Russian Empire, and the police authorities, which controlled the organization and organization of brothels, and the medical examination of prostitutes and their movement, played the oversight. The article provides some data on practicing prostitutes of foreign origin. This aspect is quite interesting, as it was used to solve certain geopolitical problems both by the authorities of the Russian Empire and by states competing with it. The paper also considers some typical plots characterizing the existence of prostitution on the territory of the CER, which is currently poorly studied. In con-clusion, it is concluded that the issue of loneliness and extreme insufficiency of women in East-ern Siberia and even more in the Far East forced the Russian administration to find extremely original ways to solve it. At the same time, the threat of geopolitical strengthening of a strong and energetic neighbor – China, to the regions of the empire, became a decisive and obviously most important argument against it.

In the recent day, it is important to understand the ways to govern Information Technology in an organization rather than just utilizing them. IT Governance is critical to most of the organization. It acts more of a strategic driver for business rather than just a supportive tool. The overall performance of an organization can be impacted by IT Governance. IT Governance helps to specify the responsibilities to encourage a desirable behavior from IT to generate value from IT investments. Unfortunately, in many organizations, this is more of an aspiration than reality. The objective of this study is to explore the current practices of IT Governance in a manufacturing firm. This paper analyses the 3 main mechanisms of IT Governance, i.e., structure, process, and relational mechanisms, with relation to the main 5 domains of the IT Governance; IT value delivery, IT resource management, IT performance measurement, IT strategic alignment and IT risk management. This study is aligned with existing literatures on the concept of IT Governance and addresses the gap from a practical approach.

Entrepreneurship is a vital economic activity to support local communities. It is perceived as a significant avenue for influencing the youngsters to a start-up business. The growing number of graduates annually has become one of the main challenges for the Omani government. Therefore, entrepreneurship has become one of the essential measures for reducing the escalating unemployment rate due to the low national recruitment rate in the public and private sectors in Oman. This research aims to examine the extent of the entrepreneurial intention of youngsters, especially among 322 tertiary students from colleges of applied sciences in Oman, to venture into entrepreneurship through the flea market retailing by adopting the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The findings highlight the impact of education on entrepreneurial intentions, which will provide resources in the area of entrepreneurial education to online libraries for research students and also provides useful policy directions to the Oman government in its effort to actively promote entrepreneurship and business ventures through the Al Raffd Funds.
Facilitating the Division of Matrimonial Property (Harta Sepencarian) through Hibah in Malaysian Shariah Court

Distribution of matrimonial assets or assets between spouses is often associated with unfairness to one of the parties, especially to the non-working wife. This is due to the fact that the current provision on the distribution of matrimonial assets emphasizes the contribution of the parties involved as the sole criteria in determining the proportion of their share. Though the law has not been amended to address this issue, it is observed that a transfer of ownership through hibah for the benefit of family members during marriage provides an alternative to the fairer distribution of matrimonial assets. Therefore, this study is undertaken to examine the applicability of hibah in dividing the assets through court practices. For that purpose, the study adopts a qualitative method which involves an analysis of unreported cases within the time frame of 2000-2012 collected from six zones representing Syariah Courts in Malaysia where analysis is made based on several variables such as types of matrimonial property, factors for consideration and proportion of distribution of the assets. Based on that sampling it has been discovered that the application of hibah in the division of matrimonial assets in the majority of cases is practically settled by way of sulh (amicable settlement). Ownership transfer of matrimonial assets especially through hibah could possibly serve in the best interest of the children and their needs as well as providing adequate security for the spouse. This has been successfully practiced in a polygamous marriage where a study shows that one party (husbands) are in fact more generous in dividing the assets, especially when dealing with the interests of their children. There were also cases where the husband was willing to transfer all assets to the existing wife which is rarely achieved in another litigation process. Thus, this study suggests that the hibah mechanism could be upgraded as law and to be widely practiced when dealing with the division of matrimonial assets.
James Macandrew of Otago: Slippery Jim or A Leader Staunch and True?
Authors:   , Bunce Roderick John
Published: March 2022

James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour. Macandrew’s contribution to New Zealand politics and history has been neither widely nor impartially discussed. His activities, particularly as a provincial Superintendent, as a leader of the opposition to the abolition of the provinces and as a government minister, have elicited accounts which range from adulation to anathema, and descriptions of him range from ‘A leader staunch and true’ to ‘Slippery Jim.’ This biography explores the origins of Macandrew’s values and philosophy, traces his life story, and evaluates his role in New Zealand history. It examines his career as a Scotsman abroad and as a settler who exploited the boom and bust economy of the new colony. It also investigates the events which diminished his reputation and curtailed his career. Macandrew is revealed as an overlooked Scottish Presbyterian of conservative social values, liberal political ideals and visionary economic views, whose enthusiasms often exceeded his skills and led to the failure of many of his far-sighted and promising projects. He was a self-confident individual who had a substantial influence on his adopted country.
Physical modeling of thermal improvement in normally consolidated and overconsolidated soil

Knowledge of the soil-temperature relation and its peculiarities have been widely discussed in Geotechnics. Previous studies show that heated fine-grained soil induces pore pressure, and as a result, the soil exhibits a consolidation effect similar to that of conventional consolidation when pore pressure is dissipated. The outcome of this process depends on soil characteristics such as the overconsolidation ratio and plasticity. Consolidated soil typically induces positive pore pressure while overconsolidated one induces negative pore pressure when heated. The phenomenon described was explored in this study aimed at the thermal consolidation product regarding the decrease in void ratio and consequent increase in undrained shear strength (Su) of a soil submitted to heating. These aspects were investigated using physical models at 1g gravity field, built on a laboratory scale. The heat source was placed inside a driven torpedo pile model in a medium consisting of a kaolin and metakaolin mixture. The undrained shear strength profile was defined by T-Bar tests involving different effective stresses and consolidation temperatures. The results show that for both mediums (normally consolidated and overconsolidated), undrained shear strength tends to grow proportionally to the temperature variation and permanent volume change is reached after a heating-cooling cycle. On the other hand, undrained shear strength indicates less significant variations for higher overconsolidation ratios.
