Background: Pesticide toxicity is one of the major environmental health problems for the modern societies, as some of the effects may last long time after exposure. Propoxur is one of the Carbamate pesticide largely used in agriculture in the Western region of Cameroon. Methods: In order to evaluate the post-exposure effects of propoxur, 48 male rats (12 animals per group) aged 30 d were orally gavaged with 0.00, 1.73, 2.60 and 5.20 mg.kg-1 body weight of propoxur for 90 d. At the end of treatment, 6 rats per group were sacrificed and others were followed up for 90 additional days and submitted to a fertility test before sacrifice. Results: At the end of exposure propoxur significantly increased (P<0.05) the testis weight while it decreased (P<0.05) the cauda epididymal sperm motility in rat. Propoxur treatment and post-treatment exposure showed variable effect on the fertility rate with an increase and decrease at 2.60 and 5.20 mg.kg-1, respectively. At the 90th day post treatment, there was a significant decrease (P<0.05) in epididymis weight and sperm count and motility (P<0.05). In addition, post-exposure treatment with propoxur reduced (P<0.05) the pup litter size and the sex ratio at all doses. Histopathological examination revealed a high vacuity of germinal epithelia in treated rats that persisted after post-exposure time. Conclusion: Propoxur negatively affected male rats’ reproductive parameters with more significant adverse effects observed 90 d after the end of exposure.

Background: Xylopia aethiopica is highly reputed for its numerous medicinal properties. In the present study, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and toxicity profile of methanol seed extract of Nigerian X. aethiopica in rat were evaluated. Methods: Phytochemical compositions were evaluated using standard procedures. The antibacterial study was carried out using agar well diffusion method, while antioxidant activities were evaluated by DPPH and FRAP assay. Twenty-five rats (5 each) were given 0, 75, 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg bwt of the extract orally for 28 days. Results: The extract had total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of 15.98±0.03mg GAE/g and 2.29±0.02 mg/g CE respectively. The extract had IC50 values of 52.45±3.05 µg/mL and 73.45±3.89 μg/mL in DPPH and FRAP assay respectively. The E. coli showed the highest susceptibility (20.27±0.90mm) while P. aeuruginisa showed the least (15.08±0.20mm). The MIC ranged from 25-50 µg/mL while MBC ranged between 50µg/mL and 100 µg/mL. In comparison with the control rats, the levels of serum creatinine, bicarbonate total proteins, albumin, and ALP were significantly higher in rat dosed 600 mg/kg bwt while urea decreases in rat dose 300 and 600 mg/kg. However, serum concentration of ALT, AST, bilirubin, Na+, K+ and Cl- compared favorably (P>0.05) with control at all doses. Conclusion: The study revealed the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Nigerian X. aethiopica, the extract at 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg/b.wt did not provoke toxic effects to the animals’ liver and kidney; however, caution should be exercised when using as a prolonged oral remedy at high doses.

Background: Vinyl acetate monomer is a commodity chemical widely used in the manufacturing of various products. The chemical is hazardous and exposure to it may occur in both occupational and non-occupational settings. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of short-term exposure to Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) vapour on the liver and lungs of Wistar rats. Methods: Mice weighing 25-30g were used to determine the acute lethal dose, while Wistar rats weighing 120-140g were randomly assigned to a control group and two experimental groups, which were exposed daily to VAM vapour for 2 or 4 hours. On the 5th day, rats were sacrificed, the blood was collected for biochemical analysis while liver and lungs were examined for histological alterations. Results: The acute lethal dose of VAM vapour was estimated to be 173.21 mg/kg body weight. A significant decline in total protein (6.725±0.10 g/dl; p<0.05) and increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT; 33±1.47 u/l), aspartate aminotransferase (AST; 44±1.08 u/l), alkaline phosphatase (ALP u/l; 76.42±1.43), urea (22.89±0.93 mg/l), bilirubin (0.84±0.03 mg/dl) and creatinine (1.04±0.07 mg/dl) occurred in the experimental rats compared to the controls. Portal inflammation, fibrosis, and hepatitis were observed in the liver, while collapsed air spaces, thickened alveolar walls and haemorrhage were demonstrated in the lungs of the experimental rats. The extent of these lesions increased with rising exposure time to VAM vapour. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that VAM liquid was moderately toxic, while short-term exposure to VAM vapour was injurious to the lungs and liver of Wistar rats.

Authors: Honchar Liliia , Pavliuk Diana
Published: June 2021

The current state of development and "survival" of the hotel and restaurant business in conditions of quarantine restrictions during the pandemic is characterized by uncertainty, the so-called collapse and requires new creative ideas and effective management decisions. The relevance is also aggravated by the fact that the restaurant business differs from all other types of business in specific features, the inseparability of production, provision and consumption of services, the complete and direct dependence of the profitability and profitability of the business on effective and direct communication with guests (consumers), and experienced a rather painful blow to the activity. The main strategies for the development of the restaurant business should be aimed at overcoming the business risks that arose during the pandemic. It is important to find ways to overcome the crisis in the restaurant business is relevant, as well as the restoration of their effective functioning in the already updated service market. Accordingly, the article carried out theoretical-methodological and practical analysis of the features of the functioning of restaurant businesses during the period of quarantine restrictions. The critical moments and opportunities that ensured the "survival" of the domestic restaurant business, acting as so-called "life jackets" in different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been identified. The key problems and prospects of overcoming the crisis by restaurant enterprises are analyzed. Some aspects of state support for business in a pandemic have been studied. The strengthened sanitary and hygienic requirements for the functioning of restaurant business institutions during the pandemic are summarized and systematized. The importance and necessity of forming an anti-crisis policy at the enterprise is justified, the initial element of which should be the gradation of goals and expectations from the business for all stakeholders of the process. Based on the generalization and systematization of key parameters and conditions of the modern functioning of the restaurant business in Ukraine and taking into account its promising trend development, an anti-crisis model of the development of the domestic restaurant business was designed, which is segmentally divided into four blocks of technologies (economic-organizational, managerial, corporate-social and reputational) and provides for the introduction of a service management system. To ensure effective implementation of the designed anti-crisis model, a structural algorithm of its implementation mechanism is justified, which provides for a set of interconnected and systematized key tasks, which are conditionally divided by levels and content of implementation and three categories (management, service (including production), optimization).

The most promising way to reduce the need for fungicides in viticulture is the use of re-sistant cultivars. In this regard, an urgent task is the selection of table grape varieties with increased resistance to diseases and frost in combination with high marketability and taste. The article discusses the results of a fif-teen-year study of the promising table variety Aladdin. The variety is interspecific hybrid obtained from a saturating crossing Vostorg krasnyy × Vostorg muskatniy at All-Russian Research Institute for Viticulture and Wine-making– Branch of Federal State Budget Sci-entific Institution «FRARC». The Aladdin variety was compared with the regionalized table variety Vostorg, which is also the paren-tal form in the second generation. The viticul-ture is not irrigated, grafted, not covered, the training is fan type on trunk, the planting scheme is 3 × 1.5 m. In the variety study, the methods generally accepted in viticulture and the standard technology of cultivation of vineyards were used. The Aladdin variety is distinguished by an early ripening period, large berries, medium-sized bunches, firm pulp, attractive berry color, light muscat aro-ma. The variety has a proven genetic high re-sistance to powdery mildew and mildew, high frost resistance is confirmed by the data of agrobiological records. According to the total-ity of economically valuable traits, resistance to unfavorable biotic and abiotic environmen-tal factors, the Aladdin variety can be recom-mended for transfer to the State variety test-ing of the Russian Federation.

The article devoted to the current topic of biodiversity conservation by modern bio-technology methods. The preservation of in vitro vine germ plasma is an alternative to the field collection, and the development of effective in vitro storage can save valuable biodiversity. The study includes a table vari-ety of grapes Zolotinka. The variety is of very early or early maturation with a pleas-ant muscat aroma of berries. The vineyards of this variety have a high degree of viral and phytoplasna infection. Before the preservation, the infection was rehabilitated by an apicial meristem (size 0.1–0.2 mm) and with the help of antibiotic Cefotaxim. To slow down growth processes, the growth regulator Emystym and the antibiotic Gen-tamicin were studied to create a slow-growing collection. It was found that the drug Emistim has an impact on growth pro-cesses After 140 days of cultivation, the greatest preservation of plants was noted in the variant with Emistim in concentration 10-12. This variant shows the lowest length of risogenic zone in the experiment and the greatest growth of plants. Inhibition of growth processes (risogen area length, plant growth, number of leaves) was found at a concentration of 10-8. Decrease of survival of microcuttings and the intensity of growth processes was found when the nutrient me-dium was supplemented by antibiotic Gen-tamicin in concentrations of 0.03–0.05 ml/l. There is also a higher viabil-ity of plants in variants with Gentamicin, especially at a concentration of 0.03 ml/l. Due to antibiotic, the duration of non-stop storage can be increased up to 7–10 months.

Information is provided on the prevalence and intensity of development of white rot on plants of different vine varieties during the growing season 2019–2020. It was found that the intensity of development of white rot var-ied from year to year. The meteorological conditions in 2019 contributed to the in-creased harmfulness of white rot: hot weather in June with air temperatures up to 37.2 °C, causing sunburn in plants, as well as moder-ately hot weather in July with frequent, albeit abundant precipitation, contributed to the de-velopment of white rot on plants of unstable varieties. In 2020, the intensity of infection by the pathogen did not exceed 1 point in most varieties, since the decrease in the harm-fulness of white rot in 2020 was facilitated not only by the corresponding meteorological conditions, but also by timely protective treatment of plants against white rot. Signs of white rot both in 2019 and in 2020 were ob-served in varieties: Riesling Reinsky, Olkhov-sky, Neizvestniy Donskoy, Krasnostop Zolotovsky. The absence of signs of damage by the phytopathogen was noted in the varie-ties: Burgunskiy, Buriy, Nakutvneuli, Pocha-tochniy, Tavrosi, Tashkentsky.

The results of a technological assessment of promising red technical forms of grapes bred by ARRIV&W named after Ya.I. Potapenko are presented. These forms (9-8-2-14pk, 8-7-1-5, 8-5-3-18) are distinguished by high sugar accumulation and optimal juice yield. The re-search was carried out in the laboratory of winemaking technology in micro-winemaking conditions. The mass of one batch of grapes was 5–10 kg, in the wort were determined: titratable acidity, sugar content, pH value, as well as the indicator of technical maturity and glucoacidometric indicator. According to the classical technology, red dry wine materials were prepared. In the studied wine samples the main physicochemical indicators were de-termined. As a result of the organoleptic eval-uation, conclusions were made about the ad-visability of using these forms for the produc-tion of natural red table wines. Augusta was selected as a control variety. Wine materials from the studied varieties were distinguished by their typical, dark ruby color, dense struc-ture and harmonious taste. This indicates a high potential of the studied forms.

Philanthropic behavior refers to the act of being generous, kind, and helpful to fellow human beings. Due to the increasingly challenging economic development in today's technological era, people have to find ways to improve the strategy of empowering the economic jihad in society, especially the Muslim society. This study aims to examine the relationship between philanthropic attitude towards economic jihad and the strategy of empowering economic jihad in the context of the development of the Muslim community. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the society’s philanthropic attitude, in particular the Muslim society, and their knowledge in enhancing the economic strategy in Malaysia. The respondents of this study consist of 500 working people (216 males and 284 females) in Klang valley while the research instrument used is a questionnaire that consists of 37 question items. The period of the study was within 6 to 12 months. The results of this study were presented as a descriptive data analysis. The findings as a whole show that respondents' perceptions regarding philanthropic phenomena in Malaysia are at a high level. Philanthropic attitude is closely related to the Islamic economy, and with this attitude, the Muslim community can compete with other races in enhancing the economy and advance along with other Asian countries. At the end of the study, several suggestions have been forwarded to enhance the level of knowledge and understanding amongst students and communities regarding philanthropy. This noble attitude needs to be instilled and nurtured in every human being, and hence, should be fostered from an early age so that the concept can be fully understood by future generations.

In univariate analysis, factors significantly associated with job-seeking anxiety were: female gender (p=0.03), effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, economics and the current, political situation Thailand (p=0.03), resilience quotient (p<0.001) and job-seeking self-perception (p<0.001). The predictors of job-seeking anxiety, from multivariate analysis, were: resilience quotient (β = -1.169, P<0.001) and job-seeking self-perception (β = 2.232, P<0.001).  Conclusion: Our study provided evidences that a significant proportion of senior, undergraduate students had experienced job-seeking anxiety, with the protective factor of job-seeking anxiety being individual resilience quotient. This information could be used as an effective management strategy for providing mental health promotion, and prevention for senior, undergraduate university students.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare predictive factors and Radial Echoendoscopy (EUS) in the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis.Materials and Methods: Patients with suspected choledocholithiasis were recruited from April 2011 to January 2018. All patient characteristics, findings of EUS and findings of ERCP were recorded and analyzed.Results: Eighty patients were enrolled in this study. Clinical symptoms, blood chemistry and liver function test were similar in patients with and without choledocholithiasis. Using the findings of ERCP as the gold standard, Radial EUS had sensitivity and specificity for the detection of choledocholithiasis at 90.2% and 97.4%, and for choledocholithiasis and/or common bile duct sludge at 92.7% and 100%, respectively. For patients with intermediate likelihood and high likelihood from predictive factors (33 and 45), Radial EUS was positive for choledocholithiasis in 51.5% (17/33) and 46.7% (21/45), and  ERCP was positive for choledocholithiasis in 54.5% (18/33) and 48.9% (22/45), respectively.Conclusion: Predictive factors, for both intermediate and high likelihood groups, were not accurate to diagnose these patients. Radial EUS is a good diagnostic tool and should done in both groups of patients to avoid unnecessary ERCP.

Objective: To study the protective effects of N-trans-feruloyltyramine (NTF) on scopolamine-induced cholinergic dysfunction, apoptosis, and inflammation in rat brains. Materials and Methods: Treatments were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). Wistar rats (8-week-old) were allocated into 4 groups (n = 3) as follows: scopolamine-only, NTF-only, NTF + scopolamine and control. Spatial cognition was evaluated by Morris water maze. ROS assay and Western blot analyses were conducted in 3 brain regions: the frontal cortex, hippocampus, and temporal cortex. Results: NTF treatment inhibited scopolamine-induced memory impairment and significantly attenuated scopolamine-induced changes in the three brain regions. Investigated scopolamine-associated changes were as follows: increases in ROS production and BACE1 level, decrease in ChAT level, increases in inflammatory and apoptotic markers, and activation of signaling pathway kinases related to inflammation and apoptosis. Conclusion: With its in vivo antioxidant, cholinergic-promoting, anti-apoptosis, and anti-inflammatory biological activities, NTF is a promising candidate to be further investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s-associated neurodegeneration.

Purpose- This paper aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the student’s financial and emotional aspect at one of Malaysia's higher learning institutions (HLI). Design/Methodology- The data collected from the online questionnaires involved 397 students and were analyzed using SPSS. Findings- The findings showed a significant positive association between all variables where the strength range was from r=.556 to r=.565. The highest correlation is the financial aspect (r-value .565) and is followed by the emotional aspect (.556). Next, the results also revealed that both variables were significantly influenced where the R² value was 47.1% while other factors explained the additional 53% of the element. Practical Implications- There are some significant implications identified in this study. First, this study's findings directly impacted the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in terms of financial support and the emotional aspect. Second, the result indicated that the university should also consider other internal and external aspects rather than focus only on improving the learning process. Third, this study would enrich the current body of knowledge about the impact of COVID-19.
Acción artística y saber tradicional se unen en un proyecto para revitalizar hórreos y paneras en Asturias
Authors: López Fernández Virginia
Published: June 2021

Hoy los hórreos, cabazos y paneras en Asturias, incluso siendo objeto de protección por parte de la administración por sus valores materiales (interesante ejemplo de la arquitectura tradicional) e inmateriales (ejemplo de modos de vida y usos), se vacían y derrumban. Son “monumento” absolutamente contemporáneo: testimonio material y silencioso de una realidad sin resolver: las relaciones campo-ciudad y nuestra propia relación con el territorio. Por este motivo, y como continuación del proyecto “Tierra adentro” (realizado en el 2019 en colaboración con el museo arqueológico Villa Romana de Veranes), a lo largo del 2021 desarrollaremos “Hacia una ciudadanía agropolitana”, proyecto seleccionado en la convocatoria Art for Change La Caixa, en colaboración con LABoral y con el apoyo de Impulsa (Ayuntamiento de Gijón). Una propuesta en la que se sucederán una serie de acciones artísticas, paisajísticas y experienciales en torno a los hórreos y paneras de las aldeas de Trubia y Veranes (zona rururbana de Gijón), mezclando pedagogía y práctica artística, saberes tradicionales con maneras de hacer desarrolladas desde la creación artística contemporánea.

A antecipação e a distribuição a lanço do adubo aumentam a eficiência operacional da semeadura do milho por dispensar a necessidade de abastecimento com adubo na semeadora. O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar a antecipação e formas de adubação de semeadura do milho visando aumentar a eficiência operacional, e performasse de atributos agronômicos com adubação a lanço após a semeadura seguida da distribuição da palhada sobre a superfície do solo em sistema de plantio direto (SPD). O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão da Ilha Solteira-UNESP em Selvíria, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. A cultivar escolhida foi a VT PRO 2. O delineamento utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com 10 tratamentos: efeito residual da haste, adubo a lanço 30 dias antes da semeadura (DAS) e no dia; adubo a lanço 30 DAS e no dia; adubação a lanço e manejo da vegetação com triturador horizontal de palha; incorporação do adubo com haste e disco 30 DAS e dia de semeadura; efeito residual da haste semeado sem adubo e semeadura sem adubo. Massa seca de plantas, produtividade de grãos e outras variáveis foram analisadas. Produtividade de grãos foram semelhantes entre os tratamentos. Produção de massa seca de plantas foi maior com o triturador. Produtividade de grãos foi semelhante com modos de distribuição e período de aplicação do adubo em SPD, a adubação antecipada a lanço aos 30 dias aumenta a eficiência operacional da semeadura. O uso do triturador aumenta a produção de massa seca de plantas em SPD.

As Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) são a base da construção dos conhecimentos científicos e tecnológicos que, em última análise, irão impulsionar o desenvolvimento local. Neste contexto, a Extensão Universitária atua como uma ponte, conectando os resultados das pesquisas produzidas dentro das IES às demandas da sociedade, além de atuar como uma poderosa ferramenta de ensino prático, fundamental para a formação dos estudantes. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre o panorama histórico da Extensão Universitária, tanto no cenário nacional quanto mundial, bem como sobre a evolução dos conceitos de desenvolvimento econômico, sustentável e local, a fim de compreender o potencial da Extensão Universitária como promotora do Desenvolvimento Local Sustentável. Para tanto foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A partir desta pesquisa, concluímos que ao atuar diretamente em questões educacionais, econômicas, sociais, ambientais e culturais das localidades e regiões onde as Instituições de Ensino Superior encontram-se inseridas, a Extensão Universitária se revela como um importante instrumento propulsor do desenvolvimento local, construindo, em parceria com as comunidades beneficiadas, soluções inovadoras e capazes de resolver ou atenuar os problemas que as afligem.
