Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Canine malignant mammary neoplasms (CMMN) exhibit behavioral variability with the patient survival time depending on several prognostic factors. In the present study, 134 CMMN were selected and different immunophenotypes and their associations with clinical and pathological parameters were identified. The tumors were classified as follows: 46% of luminal B HER2-, 34% of luminal A, 13% of triple-negative, and 7% of luminal B HER2+. Shorter specific survival time were associated with larger tumor sizes (>3.0 cm, HR=1.94; P=0.0209), lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis (HR= 2.82; P <.0001), more aggressive histological types (HR= 7.15, P<0.0001), higher histological grades (HR= 12.97 P=0.011), angiolymphatic invasion (HR=4.68, P<0.0001) and luminal B HER2 - (HR= 3.27, P<0.0001) and luminal B HER2 + (HR= 7.14 P<0.0001) immunophenotypes. In patients with lymph nodal metastasis, shorter survival times were associated with luminal immunophenotype B HER2 + (P=0.003). However, in patients without metastasis, an increased risk of death was associated with the aggressive histological type. In conclusion, the classification in our study allowed us to identify subtypes with different prognoses in canine malignant mammary tumors. Factors such as clinical stage, histological type, luminal B HER2+ subtype, and angiolymphatic invasion were the most important prognostic factors.

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT The effects on human beings of tear gas (CS) used by police forces during the control of civil disturbances are widely known and amply described in numerous scientific papers. However, the advent of the concepts of animal welfare raises the question of whether animals exposed to CS in such events, specifically horses, would suffer the same effects as those described for humans. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mounted police horses exposed to CS exhibit the same symptoms as humans. In this study, 12 horses of the Military Police of Paraná, healthy and with no history of respiratory tract disorders, were led through a gas cloud caused by the detonation of six teargas grenades. The horses’ physiological parameters of respiratory rate, heart rate, rectal temperature, and color of the eye mucosa were evaluated 24 hours before exposure, 30 min, and 24 hours after exposure. Blood samples were collected for complete blood count (CBC) and blood gas analysis and samples of eye mucosa were obtained using sterile swabs. The analysis of these parameters did not reveal effects analogous to those described in humans.

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to identify Mycobacterium bovis in lesions suggestive of tuberculosis in bovine carcasses in the State of Ceará, by means of bacteriological and molecular diagnostic tests. Between August 2017 and January 2019, the State inspection service (SIE) inspected 59,512 cattle, of which 7.4% (44 / 59,512) presented suggestive lesions. Of these animals, 68 samples were sent, of which 4.5% (31/68) located in the lung, 2.9% (20/68) in lymph nodes, 2.0% (14/68) in the liver, and 0.4% in the carcass (3/68). When performing bacteriological isolation, 15.9% (7/44) of bovines showed colony growth in the samples. The smears of the isolates were submitted to Zielh-Neelsen staining and all confirmed acid-fast bacilli. The polymerase chain reaction identified all isolates 100% (7/7) as M. bovis. The association of diagnostic techniques allowed to identify the presence of the agent in the State and the molecular analysis proved to be a beneficial technique in the monitoring of bovine tuberculosis and can be used as an auxiliary method in the bovine tuberculosis control and eradication program in the State of Ceará.

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Seven forelimb hooves from healthy horses were submitted to regular trimming and fourteen days later, submitted to toe trimming. Toe angle and length, lateral and medial heels, frog and sole length and width, distal, proximal, and metacarpal phalangeal interphalangeal angles were measured, as well as locomotion evaluation through cinematographic analysis. The measurements were performed ten, 14, 15, 30 and 45 days after the regular trimming, and at 14 days two measurements, one before and one after the toe trimming, were carried out. For cinematography, the sequence of supports and time spent in each support were taken. The comparison of the means obtained from the individuals regarding the variables, between limbs, limbs for each individual, time - points, moments for each individual and between limbs for each moment, as well as the time spent in each in the supports, was performed using ANOVA. Results lower than those of statistical significance (p<0.05) were submitted to Tukey’s test. The toe trimming promotes changes in toe length, angle, lateral heel angle, medial and lateral heel length, frog length, width, and sole length, and changes the pattern of the trot of horses.
Variação do potencial osmótico do meio e seus efeitos sobre o balanço hídrico em diferentes espécies de briófitas
Authors: Ribeiro Cristiane Wisnienski , Krupek Rogério Antonio , Bordin Juçara
Published: May 2022

RESUMO A primitividade das briófitas em relação ao balanço hídrico promove respostas rápidas quando submetidas a condições de variação da disponibilidade de água em seu entorno. Tais respostas (resistência ou sensibilidade à dessecação) podem permitir sua sobrevivência em diferentes tipos de ambientes. Neste trabalho foi avaliado o efeito da variação do potencial osmótico do meio sobre o balanço hídrico de três espécies (Campylopus filifolius (Hornsch.) Mitt., Philonotis cernua (Wilson) Griffin & W.R.Buck, Amblystegium varium (Hedw.) Lindb.) de briófitas. Para tanto, espécimes (n=150 gametófitos) foram acondicionados em ambientes (placas de Petri) contendo diferentes concentrações osmóticas (0 MPa; -0,2 MPa; -0,4 MPa; -0,6 MPa; -0,8 MPa; -1,0 Mpa). Como esperado, observou-se um efeito negativo do potencial hídrico sobre o conteúdo de água nas três espécies avaliadas, embora cada uma com características particulares. Foram verificadas diferenças significativas entre as diferentes espécies, entre os diferentes potenciais osmóticos e ao longo do tempo. C. filifolius apresentou maior sensibilidade à perda de água, enquanto que P. cernua e A. varium foram mais resistentes. Características morfoestruturais de cada espécie, provavelmente, foram responsáveis por tais respostas, o que justifica, inclusive o ambiente de ocorrência das mesmas (C. filifolius - epífita em um ambiente altamente variável em relação a disponibilidade de água, enquanto que P. cernua e A. varium - rupícolas próximas a uma fonte de água). Assim, as respostas rápidas em relação à variação do potencial osmótico do meio fazem de C. filifolius uma espécie bem adaptada a condições de estresse hídrico.

Published: May 2022

Recently, solid oxide-ion conductors have been receiving considerable attention owing to their potential applications in solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen sensors and so on. An innovative solid oxide-ion conductor, lanthanum–molybdenum oxide (La2Mo2O9), presents a reversible phase transformation at around 580°C from the low-temperature form α-La2Mo2O9to the high-temperature form β-La2Mo2O9, leading to variation in the ionic conductivity. This paper reviews the research progress of lanthanum–molybdenum oxide and its doping systems; the structure and phase transition of the material, the conductivity of the oxide ion and the ionic conductivity and chemical stability of the material in a reducing atmosphere and at high temperatures are discussed. The research progress of the lanthanum–molybdenum oxide electrolyte was reviewed from four aspects – structure, conduction mechanism, preparation method and conductivity – and its future prospects assessed.
Care Workers’ Experiences of Emergencies with Korean Older Adults: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Authors: Kim Soon Ok , Bae Sun Hee
Published: May 2022

Purpose: This study investigated the nature of nursing care workers’ experiences of responding to emergencies involving Korean older adults to prepare measures to strengthen nursing care workers’ practical abilities in this regard.Methods: This qualitative descriptive study used focus-group interviews and qualitative content analysis. Two focus-group interviews with 16 care workers from 16 nursing homes and home-care centers were conducted between February 1 and April 28, 2019. We collected data through these two focus-group interviews.Results: Of the 16 participants, 11 were care workers from nursing homes for older adults and five were from home-care centers. Altogether, we formulated 180 meanings from the original data and derived 64 codes from these meanings. Five categories were identified through systematic conceptualization: “panic about emergencies”, “difficulty recognizing an emergency”, “desperate need for real education”, “unsystematic emergency responses”, and “dealing with the aftermath of a patient’s death”; the categories were extracted from 21 subcategories.Conclusion: Care workers faced sudden emergencies while caring for older adults and coped with them based on their previous experiences. Nevertheless, they faced difficulties in recognizing emergencies. Our findings may help institutionalize systematic and consistent on-the-job training programs to augment care workers’ emergency preparedness.

Published: May 2022

The present study evaluated economically the use of tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia) forage meal in the diets of broilers; layers replacements and laying hens, as a partial replacement of corn and soybean meals. The data used come from feeding experiments carried out between 2018–2021 at the Cuban Institute of Animal Science. The direct costs involved in establishing this crop and making the meal were considered. The total feeding costs, and costs per animal, per kg of gain, per ton of live weight produced, per kg of eggs and per 1,000 eggs were estimated for the different treatments (Control 0%; T1-5%; T2-10%; T3-15% and T4-20% of tithonia meal in the ration). In all cases, feeding costs decreased with the greater use of tithonia meal. The best results in feeding costs reductions per kilogram of live weight gain for broilers (7 to 42 days) were obtained with T3 (14.78%); for layer replacements (weeks 9 to 18) with T4 (20.94% per animal); and with T3 in laying hens (weeks 23 to 44), with a 19.34% decrease in costs per thousand eggs produced. It has been demonstrated that the inclusion of tithonia forage meal in the diet of these species, as partial replacement of corn and soybean meals, constitutes a viable productive and economic alternative, which could contribute to reduce the importation of traditional and highly expensive feed ingredients.
Актуальные проблемы злоупотребления и применения противоправных схем заказчиками: причины и их устранение
Authors: Мелкумян Гамлет Мгерович
Published: May 2022

Предмет: действия заказчиков, ответственных за соответствие закупочной документации положениям законодательства в сфере закупок для государственных и муниципальных нужд. Цель: в современных условиях остро стоит вопрос об эффективности расходования бюджетных средств, в том числе через контрактную систему, в связи с чем особое внимание необходимо уделить проблеме коррупции и усилению административных механизмов, которые направлены на противодействие злоупотреблениям заказчиков в рассматриваемой сфере. Дизайн исследования: методический подход к анализу включает три этапа. На первом этапе исследуется процесс реформирования законодательства в сфере закупок для государственных и муниципальных нужд, в том числе их переход на электронные торговые площадки. Второй этап включает в себя анализ противоправных действий со стороны заказчиков в период проведения торгов с очным участием представителей хозяйствующих субъектов, дается оценка эффективности перехода на проведение конкурентных процедур в электронной форме. На третьем этапе рассматриваются административные механизмы, стимулирующие заказчиков к соблюдению положений законодательства в сфере закупок. Кроме того, в результате проведенного мониторинга на официальном сайте Единой информационной системы в сфере закупок определены актуальные проблемы в сфере закупок, устранению которых проведенные государством реформы не поспособствовали. Настоящее исследование позволяет автору прийти к выводу о необходимости уточнения административной ответственности за отдельные правонарушения в сфере закупок со стороны заказчиков. Результаты: выявлены способы злоупотребления и применения противоправных схем государственными и муниципальными заказчиками при подготовке документации для проведения торгов. Сделан вывод о том, что применение контрольным органом несоразмерных совершенному правонарушению административных штрафов не позволяет предупредить совершение аналогичных правонарушений недобросовестными заказчиками, в связи с чем государству необходимо усовершенствовать административные механизмы, конечным результатом чего, по мнению автора, станет в том числе расширение потенциального круга участников конкурентных процедур, проводимых с целью экономии бюджетных средств.

Comparative Analysis of the Predictive Power of Machine Learning Models for Forecasting the Credit Ratings of Machine-Building Companies
Authors: Гришунин Сергей , Егорова Александра
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study is to compare the predictive power of different machine learning models to reproduce the credit ratings of Moody's assigned to machine-building companies. The study closes several gaps found in the literature related to the choice of explanatory variables and the formation of a sample of data for modeling. The task to be solved is highly relevant. There is a growing need for high-precision and low-cost models for reproducing the credit ratings of machine-building companies (internal credit ratings). This is due to the ongoing growth of credit risks of companies in the industry, as well as the limited number of assigned public ratings to these companies from international rating agencies due to the high cost of rating process. The study compares the predictive power of three machine learning models: ordered logistic regression, random forest, and gradient boosting. The sample of companies includes 109 enterprises of the machine-building industry from 18 countries for the period from 2005 to 2016. The financial indicators of companies that correspond to the industry methodology of Moody's and the macroeconomic indicators of the home countries of the companies are used as explanatory variables. The results show that among models studied the artificial intelligence models have the greatest predictive ability. The random forest model showed a prediction accuracy of 50%, the gradient boosting model showed accuracy of 47%. Their predictive power is almost twice as high as the accuracy of ordered logistic regression (25%). In addition, the article tested two different ways of forming a sample: randomly and taking into account the time factor. The result showed that the use of random sampling increases the predictive power of the models. The inclusion of macroeconomic variables into the models does not improve their predictive power. The explanation is that rating agencies follow a "through the cycle" rating approach to ensure the stability of ratings. The results of the study may be useful for researchers who are engaged in assessing the accuracy of empirical methods for modeling credit ratings, as well as practitioners in banking industry who directly use such models to assess the creditworthiness of machine-building companies.
Cardiovascular risk in LGBT+ population
Authors: Bosatra Sara
Published: May 2022

Le ricerche in ambito cardiovascolare evidenziano che la popolazione LGBT+ vive una disparità di salute rispetto alla popolazione coetanea eterosessuale e cisgender. Le minoranze sessuali sono infatti sottoposte a stressors specifici che intervengono a più livelli nella vita della persona e che, in assenza di peculiari fattori protettivi di resilienza, hanno un impatto negativo sulla salute cardiovascolare. Restano inoltre da raccogliere le evidenze degli effetti delle terapie ormonali di affermazione di genere e dei bloccanti ipotalamici sulla salute cardiovascolare, per consentire ai medici e alle persone transgender e gender-diverse di conoscere il rischio a cui si sottopongono e di gestirlo in maniera adeguata. Nonostante le raccomandazioni di più istituti scientifici, attualmente si rileva una condizione di impreparazione e di incertezza del personale sanitario su come approcciare l’utenza LGBT+ dal punto di vista sia clinico sia relazionale. Per ridurre le disparità in ambito di salute cardiovascolare che riguardano gli individui LGBT+, si rivela necessario approfondire le conoscenze sui fattori biologici e psico-sociali che potenziano i fattori di rischio cardiovascolare di questa popolazione, sviluppare linee guida evidence-based per prendersi cura dei bisogni specifici di salute delle minoranze sessuali, e avviare programmi di formazione al personale sanitario volti a ridurre gli atteggiamenti discriminatori e condividere buone pratiche a garanzia di una medicina dell’uguaglianza.

Citizen Participation in Urban Forests: Analysis of a Consultation Process in the Metropolitan Area of Rouen Normandy
Authors: Birks Charlotte , Féménias Damien , Machemehl Charly
Published: May 2022

The article examines the results of a “citizen consultation” organised by local public officials through a questionnaire-based consultation approach to the management of urban and peri-urban forests. The study shows how forests are at the same time strong, complex, and ambivalent policy levers in a public consultation process. The article, first of all, specifies the economic context of the case study, namely that of a metropolis in the north of France with a population of 500,000 people. It then presents the methods and the occasionally divergent results of the metropolitan “dialogue” survey (dated 2020, n = 375) on the one hand, and a university survey (dated 2020, n = 774) on the other. The results obtained reveal the challenges, difficulties, and limits of a participatory approach, given the high degree of ambivalence and contrast in the way population groups relate to woodland and the representative/participatory systems. The article highlights the complexity involved in the management of woodlands and their use as part of a political process that is both participatory and sustainable.
The Place of Urban Food Forests in Cities of the 21st Century
Authors: Cariñanos Paloma , Borelli Simone , Conigliaro Michela , Fini Alessio
Published: May 2022

The history of urban food forests (UFFs) dates back to ancient times, when civilizations incorporated edible species into wild forests to create an ecosystem as natural as and self-sufficient as possible. Since the second half of the 20th century, the practices of integrating edible plants into ornamental landscapes have spread throughout the world. Currently, UFFs must face a number of challenges similar to those encountered by urban forests: land tenure, governance, technical capacities, and pollution and global change issues, and must be addressed in order to identify the most suitable combination of productive, environmental, and socio-economic functions of UFF. The events on a global scale that occurred in the first decades of the 21st century are forcing those who live and work in urban environments to react quickly to address the upcoming challenges.

Published: May 2022

Rhinogenic intracranial complications, such as brain abscess and thrombosis of the veins and sinuses of the brain, are still a formidable, life-threatening pathology, often resulting in death, despite the widespread development of antibiotic therapy and adherence of patients to the treatment. Often the cause of the development of intracranial complications is the exacerbation of a chronic inflammatory process in the paranasal sinuses, while acute ENT pathology of the sinuses leads to the development of rhinogenic complications only in a small percentage of cases. Unfortunately, the high development of radiation and laboratory diagnostics does not always allow diagnosing these conditions in time and providing adequate surgical care. In childhood and adolescence, it is important to perform a timely complete and at the same time minimally invasive, non-disabling, surgical intervention. An analysis of foreign literature in recent years shows that neurosurgical operations in various volumes (from trepanopuncture of the brain to craniotomy) occur in the vast majority of cases of treatment of rhinogenic intracranial complications. The article presents two clinical cases of patients with intracranial complications successfully treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University without a highly traumatic neurosurgical operation. The combination of endonasal endoscopic surgery and massive adequate conservative therapy (antibiotic therapy in combination with the use of anticoagulants for sinus thrombosis) allows the patient to recover without resorting to neurosurgical intervention.
Revisiting the epidemiology of mid shaft clavicle fracture-recent and emerging trends
Authors: Belapurkar Kaustubh
Published: May 2022

Background: Clavicle fracture is a common injury involving upper limb. It accounts for 2.6-5% of injuries. Most common mechanism causing this injury is a fall on an outstretched hand. Clavicle fractures have a bimodal distribution with 1st peak in young active adult males less than 30 years of age. Second peak in elderly females with osteoporotic bones. The annual incidence is highest in male under 20 age group, decreasing with subsequent age groups. Road traffic accidents is another mode of injury which is becoming increasingly common for mid shaft clavicle fractures.

Methods: A prospective study was carried out over 12 months. A total of 126 patients met the inclusion criteria. The epidemiological data was collected at the time of presentation using standard case sheet proforma. Radiographic assessment was done for fracture classification.

Results: Mid Shaft clavicle fracture was most common in middle aged males (31-40 years) with right side being most commonly affected. Road traffic accidents was the most common cause of injury (62%). AO/OTA type 15B1 is the most common fracture morphology (45%). Most of the high energy road traffic accidents are associated with 15B3 type fractures while type 15B1 is more common in low energy mechanisms like ground level fall.

Conclusions: Mid shaft clavicle fracture is a common injury in young population. It is increasingly being associated with road traffic accidents. The number of comminuted fractures, which represent high energy injury mechanism has been on the rise due to increase in high velocity accidents.

AIM: To evaluate the image quality of a telemedicine screening program for retinal disease using a nonmydriatic camera among rural island communities in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
METHODS: In June 2018, a group of three medical students volunteered at clinics operated by the Floating Doctors in the province of Bocas del Toro, Panama. Non-mydriatic images of the retina were obtained using the Pictor Plus (Volk Optical, Mentor OH), randomized, and sent to two board-certified ophthalmologists at the University of California, Irvine for analysis using a modified version of the FOTO-ED scale. Inter-rater reliability was calculated using the kappa statistic.
RESULTS: Seventy patients provided a total of 127 images. Average image quality was 3.31, and most frequent image quality was 4/5 on the FOTO-ED scale. Thirty patients had at least one eye image with ideal quality (42.86%), while only one patient had no adequate photos taken (1.43%). However, high quality images were obtained in both eyes in only 12 patients (17.14%). The inter-rater reliability between the two ophthalmologists was 0.614.
CONCLUSION: Further improvements are necessary to acquire higher quality images more reliably. This may include further training and experience or mydriasis.

Potato consumption occurs throughout the Altiplano of Puno and among the organic wastes produced daily at home is potato peelings. The objective of this research is the production of tubers from buds present in potato peels with four strains of Trichoderma sp. The study was carried out under an experimental design with four strains of Trichoderma sp, in a randomized way with a total of 5 treatments that were distributed with two repetitions with a total of 12 experimental units, the potato peels with buds were selected, including a fertilization with four native and commercial strains of Trichoderma, some of them were codified since the species has not yet been identified, to support the growth of seedlings so, in this way, it gives value to the "organic production". The results found evidenced that the greater quantity of tubers was obtained with the strain of Trichoderma sp. 3 with 121.50 tubers/2.4m2 (10.13 tubers/plant). Followed by the strain of Trichoderma sp. 5 with 107.50 tubers/2.4m2 (8.96 tubers/plant), which statistically were similar and superior to the other treatments, while the control had less quantity of tubers with 18.50 tubers/2.4m2 (1.54 tubers/plant). Therefore, in the millenary practice of Andean wisdom, we rescued the use of native strains of Trichoderma sp. in order to contribute to the solution of human-environmental problems and the sustainable use of potato peelings in the region.

Wrocław Tourist Lines: The changing nature of its offer and the tourist product life cycle
Authors: Kołodziejczyk Krzysztof
Published: May 2022

Tourist lines serviced by historic vehicles function in several cities. One of them is Wrocław (Poland) in which the current offer based on trams was extended with buses in 2021. In the article, an assessment of Wrocław Tourist Lines has been carried out regarding the tourist product and its development, while additionally determining its stage in the product life cycle. To this end, among other elements, data on the number of passengers and ticket sales have been used. After 13 years of existence, the offer has developed traits of a mature product, displaying fairly stable journey figures. However, it did not use the significant potential of the heritage public transport fleet in Wrocław to the full. That is why, in recent years, several changes have been introduced to the structure, marketing and pricing of the tourist product, which have improved journey frequencies and, even more importantly, increased the passenger rate per service. Therefore, it can be claimed that as a result of the actions undertaken, the product has entered a rejuvenation stage, but this process is still fairly unmarked. The main disadvantage of the product is its marketing and the way the offer is communicated to potential passengers.

Religion, Reim und Regiment. Germanica der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts in der Lodzer Universitätsbibliothek. Ausstellungskatalog / Religia, rym i regiment. Germanica z pierwszej połowy XVII wieku w Bibliotece Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Katalog wystawy
Authors: Dietl Cora , Kubisiak Małgorzata , Ososiński Tomasz
Published: May 2022

Der Band stellt den Katalog für eine Ausstellung dar, die im Juni/Juli 2022 in Lodz und im Februar/März 2023 in Gießen gezeigt wird, als Abschluss eines vom polnischen Bildungs- und Wissenschaftsministerium geförderten Projekts zur Erschließung der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg aus pommerischen und preußischen Sammlungen sichergestellten Bestände an deutschsprachigen Frühdrucken aus der 1. Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts, die sich in der Universitätsbibliothek Lodz befinden. Anhand von exemplarischen Bänden aus der Sammlung werden wichtige Strömungen der dt. Literatur- und Druckgeschichte aus dieser Zeit präsentiert. Ob in der regionalen Geschichts- und Landschaftsbeschreibung, der konfessionellen Literatur, der neuen Festkultur, der neuen Spiritualität, der Emblematik, dem Wirken der Sprachgesellschaften, dem Aufblühen des Übersetzungswesen oder aber der medizinischen Fachliteratur: Überall zeigt sich eine Dynamisierung des Dialogs zwischen alten Traditionen und neuen Wegen durch die Erfahrungen von Krieg und Seuchen sowie durch technische Errungenschaften. Der Band berücksichtigt aber nicht nur die Literatur selbst, sondern auch ihre Überlieferungsträger und fragt nach Vorbesitzern der Bände und deren Sammelinteressen sowie nach Benutzerspuren in den Bänden.
Making Sense of Offense-Related Trauma: Exploring Two Patients’ Lived Experience
Authors: Rew Grace , Clark Lauren , Rogers Gemma
Published: May 2022

Offense-related trauma refers to a trauma reaction following the perpetration of a violent offense. This research explores the lived experience of offense-related trauma, in two forensic patients. The meaning and understanding these individuals make of their own coping strategies, triggers, and treatment, and how this contributes to their behavior, was explored using a semi-structured interview and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Two super-ordinate themes emerged from the data: “Journey to Forgiveness” and “Living with the Whole Me.” These themes and their subthemes highlight the nuances of offense-related trauma and raise the question of how processes such as complicated grief and associated shame can impact on recovery and rehabilitation. The implications of the findings for professionals providing treatment in forensic settings are considered.

From Jerusalem to Rome: The Geographical Aspect of Magic
Authors: Han Chandra
Published: May 2022

Just as magic was undermined in the Acts of the Apostles, its spread throughout the whole region of the Greco-Roman Region was also undermined. Although the magic episode occurred six times in the Acts of the Apostles, the demonstration of the geographical aspect of magic in the Acts of the Apostles was undermined. The prominent question regarding the presence of magic in the Greco-Roman reigns is how serious was magic during the Greco-Roman Era for Christianity so that the gospel could be proclaimed to the end of the world? This article will demonstrate the seriousness of magic to impede the spread of the gospel is obvious when analyzing the geographical spread of magic. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the magical context of each Roman city where magic was there. Moreover, this article also demonstrates the significance of the geographical aspect of magic for the spread of the Gospel. This geographical aspect will be argued within the context of the apologetic purpose of the Acts of the Apostles and the spread of the gospel to the end of the world to fulfill Jesus’ command to his disciples. This research will employ a literature method. The analysis will analyze the city of Samaria, the island of Cyprus, the strategic city of Ephesus, Philippi, and Malta. Application regarding the proclamation of the gospel for our contemporary world will be provided in the section of discussion and result before the conclusion.

The main purpose of the article is to study the main qualities of public administration of the higher education system in rural areas. One of the tasks of the state policy in relation to higher education in rural areas at present is the development of a system for diagnosing the quality of education to determine the compliance of the level of education with state standards. In the formation of state policy in the field of higher education in modern conditions, in comparison with recent times, the problem of the quality of higher education has become the leading one. Formation of conditions for the fullest satisfaction of the needs of citizens in high-quality higher education, and the economy - in competent specialists, is becoming one of the main tasks of public administration bodies in higher education in rural areas. In modern conditions of civilizational development, the state plays the main, decisive role in the development of education - by its inherent methods, it is actively involved in the management of educational processes in rural areas. As a result of the study, the most indicative foreign experience of public administration of the higher education system in rural areas was analyzed.
Communication barriers in emergency remote education

Published: May 2022

Despite the abundance of methods, materials, pedagogical philosophies, and a variety of teacher training programs, many educators still do not have the skills and self-efficacy to effectively navigate the new combinations of distance, blended, and in-classroom learning. The review of literature signals the disrupted nature of teacher-student communication caused by the coronavirus pandemic. This is a literature review focused on the findings of 206 published open-access journal articles on teacher-student educational interaction during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary goal of the current research is to provide an initial indication of the potential size and nature of the extant communication barriers in emergency remote learning. Furthermore, authors attempt to draw overall conclusions about the merits of existing propositions or methods aimed at overcoming the existing barriers. The complaints reported in the surveys include technical, psychological, personal, emotional, and health issues, lack of feedback, and poor student engagement. The latter prompts us to search for good practices that solve the aforementioned teacher-student interaction barriers or reduce the scope of these barriers. The outcomes of this study can help theorize about the many forms of barriers that exist in teacher-student interactions in emergency remote learning.
Culture-Independent PCR Detection and Differentiation of Mycobacteria spp. in Antemortem Respiratory Samples from African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) and Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in South Africa

Since certain Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) members, like M. bovis, are endemic in specific South African wildlife reserves and zoos, cases of clinically important nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in wildlife may be neglected. Additionally, due to the inability of tests to differentiate between host responses to MTBC and NTM, the diagnosis of MTBC may be confounded by the presence of NTMs. This may hinder control efforts. These constraints highlight the need for enhanced rapid detection and differentiation methods for MTBC and NTM, especially in high MTBC burden areas. We evaluated the use of the GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra, the Hain CMdirect V1.0, and novel amplicon sequencing PCRs targeting the mycobacterial rpoB and ku gene targets, directly on antemortem respiratory samples from known MTBC-infected and NTM culture-positive African elephants (n=26 animals) and rhinoceros (n=23 animals). Our findings suggest that the Ultra is the most sensitive diagnostic test for MTBC DNA detection directly in raw antemortem respiratory specimens and that the rpoB PCR is ideal for Mycobacterium genus DNA detection and species identification through amplicon sequencing.
