Engagement by design: Engagement through design
Authors:   , Bailey Jo
Published: March 2024

The science communication/Public Engagement with Science (PES) literature suggests there is a disconnect between those who practice, and those who theorise in those domains. This thesis—undertaken using methodologies and practices from the field of design—explores novel ways to connect science communication/PES theory and practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through this process it reflects on the role of design in science communication, which has historically been used in a ‘downstream’ capacity with an emphasis on making accessible and attractive outputs.

The research undertaken for this thesis used design processes and artefacts to challenge assumptions about science communication, and to increase reflexivity (as called for in Salmon et al.’s 2017 paper, The Reflexive Scientist). The process undertaken with scientist-communicators shared elements of theory in an active, participatory way. As a result, the theory became practiceable: experienced in a way that meant they could enact it in their own future engagement design.

The central activity was a series of dialogical, participatory designed interventions informed by both design and science communication/PES theory and practice. These interventions developed into a structured workshop model where participants (scientists and researchers) reflexively unpacked and (re)designed science communication projects in ways that are underpinned by science communication/PES theory, and encouraged consideration of inherent power structures, motivations, inclusivity, co-production, equity, differing expertise, and Indigenous knowledge. The outcome is an engagement workshop toolkit called the Science Communication Laundromat that has been released under a Creative Commons licence. In addition, qualitative methods, such as interviews, structured group discussions and reflective writing, were used to examine participants’ experiences and explore the field of science communication in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This study is an innovative interdisciplinary fusion of science communication/PES and design, utilising applied research to explore its topics: using theory to inform practice, and through this thesis, contribute to further discourse and theory. In doing so, it suggests design’s role in science communication, in an ‘upstream’ capacity as part of an inter- or transdisciplinary project, can add value and catalyse outcomes that neither design nor PES would have achieved independently.

Substance Use Motives as Mediators of the Associations between Self-Control Constructs and Negative Substance Use Consequences: A Cross-Cultural Examination
Authors: Montgomery Zannie , Michelini Yanina , Bravo Adrian , Pilatti Angelina , Mezquita Laura ,   Cross-Cultural Addictions Study Team
Published: March 2024

The present study sought to examine three distinct research questions: a) are self-control constructs (i.e., negative/positive urgency, self-regulation, and emotion-regulation) indirectly related to negative alcohol/marijuana consequences via substance use motives, b) to what extent are these indirect effects consistent across differing drugs (i.e., alcohol and marijuana), and c) are these models invariant across gender and countries. Participants were 2,230 college students (mean age=20.28, SD=0.40; 71.1% females) across 7 countries (USA, Canada, Spain, England, Argentina, Uruguay, and South Africa) who consumed alcohol and marijuana in the last month. Two (one for alcohol and one for marijuana) fully saturated path models were conducted, such that indirect paths were examined for each self-control construct and substance use motive on negative consequences (e.g., negative urgency → coping motives → negative consequences) within the same model. Within the comprehensive alcohol model, we found that lower self-regulation and higher negative urgency/suppression were related to more alcohol consequences via higher coping and conformity motives. For marijuana, we found that lower self-regulation and higher negative urgency/suppression were related to more marijuana consequences via higher coping motives (not significant for conformity motives). Unique to marijuana, we did find support for higher expansion motives indirectly linking positive urgency to more negative consequences. These results were invariant across gender groups and only minor differences across countries emerged. Prevention and intervention programs of alcohol and marijuana around university campuses may benefit from targeting self-control related skills in addition to motives to drug use to prevent and reduce negative drug-related consequences.

Activin is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and is a polypeptide growth factor. Activin regulates follicle growth, gonadotropin responsiveness, steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and corpus luteum function in the ovary via a local autocrine/paracrine effect. Activin measurement A level in serum and follicular fluid during the preovulatory stage in PCOS women undergoing an IVF/ICSI cycle to predict fertilization capacity earlier Fifty infertile couples, 25 with PCOS and 25 without PCOS, who attended Al Nahrain University in Baghdad, Iraq's High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies. The females that participated were between the ages of 18 and 40. On the day of oocyte retrieval, the level of Activin A in serum and follicular fluid was measured. Activin A levels in PCOS women's serum (activin A=1274 77.9) and follicular fluid (activin A =1038 50.3) compared to non-PCOS women's serum (activin A=453 25.74) and follicular fluid (Activin A=450 23.73). The study shows no correlation between activin A hormone with oocytes characteristics and fertilization rate in PCOS women with a significant increase of activin A hormone in the serum and FF of PCOS women compared to non PCOS women.

A Systematic Review Comparing Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl for Attenuation of the Sympathetic Response to Direct Laryngoscopy
Authors: Secreto Kerri
Published: March 2024

Sympathetic activation, manifesting as tachycardia and hypertension, is a known occurrence following direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Although considered transient and benign in most patients, the marked hemodynamic changes can precipitate perioperative cardiac events in patients with preexisting cardiac risk factors. Perioperative cardiac events are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospitalizations, and increased hospital costs. A multitude of pharmacologic agents have been employed to mitigate the tachycardia and hypertension associated with airway manipulation. Fentanyl is the adjuvant agent most commonly administered to facilitate induction of anesthesia and subsequent airway manipulation. Dexmedetomidine, another adjuvant, has demonstrated effectiveness in suppressing the hemodynamic response to intubation as well as potentially reducing perioperative ischemic events. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine to fentanyl for attenuating the sympathetic response to direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Literature and pertinent randomized control trials were searched for inclusion within this review. Four trials were included in this systematic review using the PRISMA checklist. Data was collected from each study and critically appraised using the CASP tool, and a cross analysis was then performed. This systematic review found dexmedetomidine to be superior to fentanyl in attenuating the hemodynamic response to airway manipulation. However, further research is necessary to better determine the effectiveness of these medications on patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease.
Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists
Authors: Serrano Lysandra
Published: March 2024

High levels of stress have been documented in the student registered nurse anesthetist (SRNA) population and coping skills employed as student have been shown to endure after graduation. Heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression have been reported in American adults related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As classes transitioned online and clinical was suspended due to the stay-at-home orders, this stress was predominant for nurse anesthesia students. Research was not available and needed to be conducted to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the stress levels of nurse anesthesia students. Studying how nurse anesthesia students respond to unforeseen events can help us develop additional preparation and coping strategies for future cohorts. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on stress and wellness and coping mechanisms for student registered nurse anesthetists. A total of n=19 current and prior SRNAs were sent a Qualtrics survey with the COVID-PSS-10, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and three qualitative questions. Twelve participants (63%) completed the Qualtrics survey between March-April 2021. High perceived stress was reported in 33% of the participants (n=4). Dysfunctional anxiety symptoms were reported by 33% of SRNAs (n=4). Most responses to the qualitative questions reported uncertainty or stress relief, diminished physical and social wellness, and some form of maladaptive coping. The results display the importance of identifying students at risk for maladaptive coping. Additional stress management training should be provided to students and faculty and tailored according to students’ academic progression. Updates to the Graduate Student Handbook, coupled with a dynamic resource toolkit, would guide students navigating the challenging phases of graduate level education.

Households are one of the contributors to organic and inorganic waste. Generally, the family needs to manage waste independently. The concept of waste recycling can be applied at the household level. The aim of waste management in the Dosen Mengabdi Reguler 2022 was to provide alternative solutions for processing organic and inorganic waste in the household based on the recycling concept. The activities were carried out from July‒November 2022 in one of the villages around the IPB campus locations, namely the Taman Darmaga Permai 2, Cihideung Ilir, Ciampea, Bogor. The core activities consist of discussions and demonstrations about compost, coenzymes, re-growing vegetable plants, and the culture of mung bean sprouts from Vima 1 and Vimil 1 varieties. About 42.9% of the 14 participants sorted household waste, and 28.6% managed waste. Compost from organic waste was harvested within one month after the process, while coenzymes were harvested after three months. Ecoenzymes were attractive to all participants as a solution for processing waste. About 50% of participants favor growing vegetables and 21.4% re-grow vegetable waste. Katuk and Welsh onion plants have 100% growth and 90% survival rates. All participants had never sprouted mung bean seeds. The sprouts can be harvested 1 to 3 days after sowing as needed. The Vima 1 mung bean variety has a sweet sprout taste and produces 657.9 g of sprouts from 100 g of seeds, while the Vimil 1 taste is slightly astringent with a lower sprout production of 543.8 g.

Indonesia trades ten groups of wood in the Asia-Pacific region. Many forest industry problems occur during trade. Competition and interdependence in trade are research objectives. The research secondary data source is taken from UN Comtrade 2011-2021 and analyzed using the Export Similarity Index (ESI), Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Trade Complementarity Index (TCI), and Intra-Industry Trade (IIT) methods. The research results show that the wood export trade between Indonesia and competing countries competes weakly with each other in the six partner countries. Indonesia is competitive in the products SITC 245 (fuel wood (excluding wood waste) and wood charcoal), SITC 248 (wood, simply worked, and railway sleepers of wood), SITC 251 (pulp and waste paper), SITC 634 (veneers, plywood, particle board, and other wood, worked, n.e.s.), SITC 635 (wood manufactures, n.e.s.), and SITC 641 (paper and paperboard). On the other hand, Indonesia and partner countries almost complement each other as trading partners in terms of exports and imports of wood. However, the integration of Indonesian wood trade with partner countries is considered weak. Products SITC 248 (wood, simply worked, and railway sleepers of wood), SITC 251 (pulp and waste paper), SITC 641 (paper and paperboard), and SITC 642 (paper and paperboard, cut to size or shape, and articles of paper or paperboard) are several product industries that have led to intra-industry trade. Policy recommendations are to utilize resources optimally, develop the wood processing industry to produce finished wood products, and improve the quality and standards of wood products in accordance with policies in trade cooperation.

The ethyl acetate fraction of papaya leaves are made into a cream preparation with varying concentrations of ten, fifteen, and twenty percent. The results of the cream preparation test met the physical property standards. Still, the viscosity in formulation three did not meet the standards, and formulas two and three did not meet the cream stability test standards. Antibacterial tests show that all formulas have inhibitory power against bacteria. The average inhibition zone results in formula one, formula two, and formula three were 4.99 ± 0.48 mm, 6.85 ± 0.48 mm and 10.12 ± 1.42 mm. Formula One papaya leaf fraction cream fulfills all the physical characteristics of the preparation. All papaya leaf ethyl acetate fraction cream preparations are antibacterial against Propionibacterium acne. So, research can be developed using the ethyl acetate fraction of papaya leaves in various preparations, and activity tests against other bacteria can be carried out.

An experiment was carried out to compare yield attributes ofapical cuttings developed using Mini-clonal technology of variety V1 along with the regular stem cuttings. Both apical and stem cutting plants were evaluated under field conditions at Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu. In this study, yield parameters like fresh leaf weight (g), no of branches (no’s per plant), no of leaves (no’s per plant) and plant yield (g) were evaluated. The results clearly indicates superior performance was noticed in V1 apical cuttings, treatment 60DAP-AC (V1) mini clones recorded yield attributes like fresh leaf weight (5.33 g), no of branches (2.92 no’s) per plant, no of leaves (49.23 no’s) per plant and plant yield (103.98g) better than stem cuttingsfresh leaf weight (4.94 g), no of branches (2.56 no’s) per plant, no of leaves (41.85 no’s) per plant and plant yield (89.14 g).Evaluating yield traits under primary field conditions in relation to various transplantation days was the primary goal of the study
Molecular epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease (review)
Authors: Scherbakov A. V.
Published: March 2024

Molecular epidemiological studies are an important tool for regional and global surveillance of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). These tests are based on constantly progressing technologies of nucleic acid sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The use of these technologies made it possible to assess the genetic diversity of the FMD virus, to analyze the evolution of the virus in the enzootic regions, and track the pathways of FMD epizootic and panzootic spread. Molecular epidemiological studies have shown that within the long-known seven serotypes of the FMD virus, there are numerous topotypes (geographical types), genetic lineages and sublineages. Usually, the foot-and-mouth disease virus of a certain topotype and genetic lineage evolves within a certain area, periodically causing regional epizootics. However, over the past 30 years, two FMD panzootics have occurred, invloving several continents. The first panzootic occurred in the late 1990s – early 2000s and was caused by O/ME-SA/PanAsia FMDV, and the second, caused by O/ME-SA/Ind-2001 virus, began in 2013 and continues to the present. The emergence of FMD panzootics is probably a consequence of the economic globalization. FMD is not enzootic in Russia, but sporadic outbreaks of this disease are periodically reported. Molecular epidemiological studies have shown that these outbreaks are caused by the infection introduction from neighboring Asian countries, mainly from China. The FMD virus, which has come to the Russian Federation from other countries, is characterized by great genetic diversity and belongs to three serotypes, five topotypes and eight genetic lineages: O/Cathay, O/ME-SA/PanAsia, O/SEA/Mya-98, O/ME-SA/Ind-2001, O/ME-SA/unnamed, A/Asia/Iran-05, A/Asia/Sea-97, Asia1/V. The results of molecular epidemiological studies are taken into account when vaccine strains are to be selected for preventive vaccination of livestock in FMD high-risk areas. The review is based on the analysis of 68 literature sources.

Porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVDs) are among the most significant challenges for pig farming in developed countries. Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) is considered the main etiological agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in piglets. Mass PCVD occurrence has been reported in most regions of the world, that results in serious economic consequences. Optimal PCVD prevention is known to be achieved through a set of veterinary and sanitary measures in combination with vaccination. High evolutionary virus variability facilitating new genotype and strain emergence requires development of new candidate recombinant vaccines against PCV-2 infection. The study was aimed at construction of prokaryotic system for PCV-2ORF-2gene fragment expression and its functionality assessment. A genetic insert constructed from the most immunogenic type-specific PCV-2 epitopes based on genotype 2a, 2b, 2d strain and isolate consensus sequence was cloned into the expression vector pET-22b(+) that was incorporated into theEscherichia colistrain Rosetta 2(DE3). The transformants were selected based on the marker gene of ampicillin resistance on a selective medium. Target gene expression was induced by adding of isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside at different concentrations. As a result,Escherichia coliRosetta 2(DE3)/pET-22b-ORF-2 strain, a producer of capsid protein fragment (92–233 amino acid residues), was constructed. It was found that in the presence of 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside, the expression level of soluble truncated rCap was 35–40 mg/L 6 hours after induction. The expression product was tested for its specificity with indirect ELISA using whole-virion PCV-2-hyperimmunized porcine serum. It was shown that the positivity coefficient of producer strain cell lysates averaged to 4.34 (p< 0.005). The recombinant rCap protein is suitable for serological diagnosis and is also of interest as a vaccine component, which is the goal of our further studies.
Contribution of Federal Centre for Animal Health to Rosselkhoznadzor’s international mandate delivery
Authors: Lavrovsky V. V.
Published: March 2024

The paper covers the history of the Federal Centre for Animal Health, which started 65 years ago by the foundation of the All-Union Foot and Mouth Disease Research Institute. The main research area – FMD prevention and control – was and still remains the leading one for the Centre. The current history of the Federal Centre for Animal Health development is inextricably associated with the public administration reform in agriculture in 2000s, when the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) spun off the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation as an independent executive authority with broad powers in the area of the veterinary and phytosanitary control and surveillance. The grounds for the re-subordination of the Federal Centre for Animal Health to the Rosselkhoznadzor, historically novel executive authority in Russia, included high international prestige of the Centre and nationally and internationally acknowledged qualification of its employees in the field of contagious animal diseases.
