Authors: María Bravo del Moral Ana , José García Iglesias María , Escudero Díez Alfredo , Del Carmen Ferreras Estrada María , Manuel Martínez Rodríguez José
Published: December 2023

Se llevó a cabo un estudio morfopatológico de los quistes foliculares y cuerpos lúteos quísticos diagnosticados durante el examen de 1.489 hembras bovinas sacrificadas en mataderos de León. En los quistes foliculares no luteinizados con cuerpo lúteo asociado, fue más frecuente la ausencia de células de la granulosa; así mismo, las tecas no se distinguieron en un 75% de los casos. Cuando no había cuerpo lúteo asociado, las células de la granulosa estaban ausentes o presentes en un porcentaje más equilibrado; en caso de estar ausentes, las tecas no se distinguían en el 47,79%. Si la capa de células de la granulosa estaba presente, las tecas generalmente no se diferenciaban. Respecto a los quistes foliculares luteinizados se observó la existencia, a nivel de la teca interna, de tejido luteínico; rodeando la cavidad central se encontraba una capa de tejido conjuntivo, en ocasiones, revestida por unas células de aspecto endoteliforme. En cuanto a los cuerpos lúteos quísticos, microscópicamente, presentaban características estructurales diferentes, en relación con el tamaño y edad del quiste. Aquellos más evolucionados únicamente se distinguían de los quistes foliculares luteinizados por la presencia de un estigma de ovulación.

Authors: Castañón Ordóñez Luciano , Garnica Cortezo Rafael de , Reguera Feo Antonio
Published: December 2023

Se estudiaron 37 infracomunidades parasitarias intestinales de becada, relacionándolas con una amplia serie de parámetros ambientales y somáticos del ave; longitud total, longitud del ala plegada, longitud del pico, longitud del tarso y longitud de las rectrices, peso total, peso del estómago vacío y peso de la grasa periestomacal, sexo, edad, hábitat, procedencia y fecha de captura. Los resultados obtenidos del estudio estadístico de estas infracomunidades parece indicar que las tres infrapoblaciones parasitarias encontradas, cestodos de los géneros Aploparaksis CLERC, 1903, Polycercus VILLOT, 1883 y Choanotaenia RAILLIET, 1896, no son interactivas. De los parámetros obtenidos de las becadas sólo se ha encontrado correlación significativa, y positiva, entre la grasa periestomacal y el peso total del ave. Los hallazgos más importantes de este estudio son las correlaciones significativas, y negativas, entre la intensidad de la parasitación por Aploparaksis y la longitud total, el peso total y el peso de la grasa periestomacal del ave. Estas conclusiones son importantes debido al valor cinegético del ave.

Introduction The problem of implant-associated infections is far from being solved in arthroplasty, osteosynthesis of fractures, and spinal pathology. The development of biodegradable implants with bioactive properties is a promising direction.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro bactericidal activity of implants made from a degradable material polycaprolactone (PCL) impregnated with hydroxyapatite and an antibiotic.

Material and methods To study antibiotic availability, antibiotic-impregnated PCL cylindrical samples (n = 6) were incubated in distilled water at 37 °C. To evaluate the antibacterial properties, samples in the form of porous disks were used: control samples from PCL; 1) PCL samples coated with antibiotic and hydroxyapatite; 2) PCL samples coated only with antibiotic; 3) PCL samples coated only with hydroxyapatite; (n = 6 for each type of tested samples). The disk diffusion method was used to determine the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibiotics. The microbial strains used were S. aureus ATCC 25923, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and E. coli ATCC 25922. Test microorganisms were cultivated on beef peptone agar (MPA) at 37 °C for 24 hours. Quantitative data were subjected to statistical processing.

Results It was determined that 82.6 % of the antibiotic was released during the first day of incubation and 8.2 % on the second day. Control samples did not show a bactericidal effect. Samples 3 showed an antibacterial effect against E. coli culture. Samples 1 and 2 equally demonstrated significant inhibition of the growth of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli.

Discussion Most of the antibiotic is released into the hydrolyzate during the first two days of incubation. Porous implants made of PCL and impregnated with an antibiotic have pronounced antimicrobial activity against the most common gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria that cause purulent complications in surgical practice. Nanostructured hydroxyapatite on the surface of the implant does not reduce bactericidal activity.

Conclusions Porous polycaprolactone implants filled with hydroxyapatite and antibiotics are targeted to stimulate bone regeneration and simultaneously ensure antimicrobial activity. Nanostructured hydroxyapatite on the implant surface does not decrease bactericidal activity.

Introducrion Repair of the affected articular surface still remains an unsolved problem.

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a biodegradable polycaprolactone implant coated with hydroxyapatite on the healing of an osteochondral defect of the femoral condyle in rats.

Materials and methods An osteochondral defect of the medial femoral condyle was modeled in 76 Wistar rats divided into 2 groups. In the experimental group, the defect was replaced with a biodegradable polycaprolactone membrane coated with hydroxyapatite. In the control group, the defect remained untreated. The results were assessed within a year.

Results In the experimental group, the animals had a significantly better range of motion at all stages of the experiment than the control animals. The implant ensured the integrity and congruence of the articular surface. On day 180, a newly formed area of the articular surface of the organotypic structure was observed in the defect. Biomechanical properties of the repaied zone restored after 60 days while in the control one they remained lower by 27-29 %.

Discussion Filling the defect with an elastic implant made of polyprolactone with hydroxyapatite provided early functional load on the joint. The structure of the implant, simulating the extracellular matrix, promoted the growth, proliferation and directed differentiation of cells in the area of the osteochondral defect. The moderate rate of biodegradability of the material provided gradual replacement of the implant with organ-specific tissues.

Conclusion A biodegradable polycaprolactone implant impregnated with hydroxyapatite particles might be effective for experimental osteochondral defect repair.

Published: December 2023

Introduction Long duration of distraction osteosynthesis remains an unsolved problem. One of the promising ways to stimulate reparative regeneration of bone tissue is the technology of combined osteosynthesis with intramedullary elastic reinforcement with titanium wires coated with hydroxyapatite. A significant drawback of this combined distraction osteosynthesis is the planned removal of intramedullary wires several months after disassembling the Ilizarov apparatus.

The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the possibility of stimulating reparative regeneration and reducing the duration of distraction osteosynthesis using an intramedullary degradable implant with bioactive filling.

Methods We present the first in clinical practice case of surgical leg lengthening in a female 10-year-old patient using the Ilizarov apparatus an intramedullary degradable implant made of polycaprolactone (PCL) saturated with hydroxyapatite to stimulate reparative regeneration in the tibia. Monthly radiographic monitoring of the process of reparative regeneration of bone tissue was supplemented by computed tomography after disassembling the Ilizarov apparatus.

Results The process of lengthening the tibia was accompanied by pronounced formation of a bone “sleeve” around the implant, which was directly connected to the endosteum of the tibia. The density of bone substance in the medullary canal reached 496.6 HU. The cortical layer of the tibia in the elongation zone increased to 4 mm, and its density was equal to 1288.8 HU.

Discussion Leg lengthening of 4 cm was achieved along with simultaneous correction of valgus recurvatum bone deformity at IO = 15 days/cm, that is two times shorter than the generally accepted excellent IO in distraction osteosynthesis according to Ilizarov.

Conclusions Biodegradable polycaprolactone implants saturated with hydroxyapatite might be not inferior to titanium wires coated with hydroxyapatite in regard to the degree of osteoinduction and do not require repeated surgical intervention to remove them.

Published: December 2023

This study examines the cultural and linguistic funds of knowledge (Moll, Amanti, Neff, & González, 1992; Moll, 2019) of multilingual families shared by parent authors in bilingual children’s books integrated into culturally responsive pedagogy (Ladson-Billings, 1995, 2014) shared in formal and informal learning contexts -- including elementary schools, public libraries and parks, teacher education university courses, and digital platforms. This study practices community-engaged research in which the experiences and perspectives of participants and researchers shaped how data was collected, understood, and shared with others (Bay & Swacha, 2020). Parent authors were invited to partner in generating, reflecting on, and sharing stories as educational community experiences, and as part of a study focused on fostering appreciation, understanding, and preservation of cultural and linguistic heritages as a significant aim in in our multicultural, multilingual world. As part of this, the study supports teachers, schools, and community stakeholders in including diverse languaging features (García, 2009) in curricula and instruction. Community engaged research highlights the complexities of the human experience and results in a valuable outcome beyond quantifiable data: community relationships. This collaborative inquiry into the development and sharing of multilingual parent books revealed relationship building as an artistic, authentic, and humanizing practice of bridge-building.

Authors: Hume Matthew , Mondal Olivia
Published: December 2023

Service-learning (SL), or community-engaged learning, refers to a project-based pedagogical approach that addresses community needs through coursework tied to academic, social/civic and personally impactful learning objectives. Originally emerging from research and practice in U.S. higher education, its inclusion in K-12 education in the US and international contexts has gained traction in recent years. Nevertheless, reports of implementation and effectiveness in international education are lacking. This article presents the impact of a two-week US Department of State-funded service-learning exchange program for 25 EFL teachers from 24 countries spanning the globe. Through academic sessions, site visits, and cultural activities led by an interdisciplinary team at a major Midwestern research university, participants were equipped to use SL in contextually appropriate ways for the teaching of both English and vital 21st century life skills. The authors begin with an overview of SL and a research-based account of its benefits for holistic learning, and especially for its application in English education. Following a description of the exchange program that highlights key aspects of the curriculum, the piece turns to participant reflections on selected aspects of SL in English language education. Finally, the authors suggest implications for the future of SL in a global context.
Blinking jamming in individual-mutual protection of aircraft
Authors: Solodun K.D.
Published: December 2023

Currently, the issue of individual-mutual protection of fighter and attack aircraft is becoming an acute problem due to significant progress in the field of radio-electronic weapon control systems. Modern electronic warfare systems allow the enemy to aim at a target and effectively hit it even in the absence of reliable information about the target’s range and speed, using only directional information. To effectively counter such means, it is necessary to influence the target tracking channels along by angle. Development of an approach aimed at the formation of blinking jamming that ensures disruption of the angular tracking of the target of the monopulse locator of the homing head of the missile during individual mutual protection of aircraft. An approach has been developed to the formation of synchronized blinking jamming from two sides for individual and mutual protection of front-line aircraft. The developed approach can be applied in the design of electronic defense systems for 5th generation frontline aviation aircraft.

Periodontal disease (PD), an inflammatory and infectious condition affecting the tissues supporting teeth, is prevalent among pregnant women due to hormonal changes. Studies indicate a link between PD and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm labor and low birthweight newborns, likely due to increased inflammatory mediators. Oral pathogens like Tannerella forsythia and Porphyromonas gingivalis have been associated with these complications. The most prevalent oral conditions affecting pregnant women that may influence the course of their pregnancy are periodontitis, gingivitis, and dental caries. From supragingival plaques to subgingival infections and PD, these conditions are linked to one another. Elevated maternal serum antibodies to these pathogens and inflammatory markers correlate with poor pregnancy outcomes. Animal models further support the connection between PD and fetal health issues. While research suggests that periodontal treatment may reduce the risk, the exact mechanisms remain complex and multifactorial. Integrating dental care into prenatal care is vital for prevention and management.

Producto de casi una década de investigación en una favela de Belo Horizonte, este artículo busca mostrar la conexión entre las transformaciones del macro contexto político-estatal brasileño y los cambios en las dinámicas de sociabilidad microlocalizadas en los márgenes urbanos de este país entre 1964 y 2016. Combinando una aproximación etnográfica y sociohistórica, el análisis se apoya en i) memorias de los habitantes del barrio sobre el pasado de la favela; ii) consultas de documentos sobre la historia de la ciudad, y iii) observación participante de fenómenos más recientes, cuyo desarrollo acompañé durante mi trabajo de campo. Organizado a partir de los ejes a) dinámica de acceso a derechos políticos y sociales, b) violencia (político-ideológica o criminal-policial), y c) capacidad de consumo, el artículo concluye que, en el periodo estudiado, las clases bajas experimentaron un pasaje desde una sociabilidad centrada en la confianza a una interacción basada en el respeto.

Published: December 2023

La literatura sobre plataformas digitales de trabajo ha subrayado la tendencia a la precarización de las relaciones laborales. En contraposición con esta hipótesis, a través del análisis del funcionamiento de la plataforma digital Zolvers, este artículo se propone comprender de qué manera las plataformas pueden también contribuir a la formalización de las relaciones laborales en el sector del trabajo doméstico remunerado, donde la mayoría de las trabajadoras se desempeña de manera informal. El artículo explora los efectos de esta intermediación respecto a la formalización de la relación laboral. Particularmente, se focaliza en el impacto durante el primer año de la pandemia del covid-19.

Aim. Determination of the presence of antimycotic activity and its level in thirteen lactobacteria isolates from Black Sea water and mussels. Methods. Antimycotic activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates was tested by agar diffusion method in 24-well plates. To determine character of action the plates were incubated for 7 days at 25 °C. Results. For the first time antimycotic activity of marine LAB from Odesa coast was estimated. The majority of the tested isolates of lactobateria exhibited antimycotic activity of high level completely inhibiting (in 100%) as mycelium growth as well as spore formation of Penicillium expansum UKM F-575 and Aspergillus niger UKM F-16706 on second day of the study. Four isolates (M.5.1, M.5.2, M.7.1, M.7.2) showed lower antimycotic activity (from 0 to 75%). Eight LAB isolates from seawater (W.1.1, W.1.2, W.1.3, W.1.4, W.1.5, W.1.дк, W.2.3, W.2.4) and one isolate from mussel liquor (M4.1) completely inhibited mycelial growth and sporulation of P. expansum UКМ F-575 and A. niger UКМ F-16706 even within seven days indicating fungicidal character of action. Conclusions. The most of tested LAB isolates from Black Sea exhibited high antimycotic activity against P. expansum UКМ F-575 and A. niger UКМ F-16706 indicator strains. The most active lactobacteria isolates were W.1.1, W.1.2, W.1.3, W.1.4, W.1.5, W.1.дк, W.2.3, W.2.4 isolated from Black Sea water and M4.1 – from mussel liquor. The character of the revealed antimycotic activity was determined as fungicidal.

Aim. This research was carried out for determination of ability to produce siderophores by strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus sp. isolated from Black Sea mussels and for studying characteristics of their synthesis at mono- and co-cultivation of researched strains. Materials and methods. In the study we used four strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two strains of Bacillus sp. Monocultivation and co-cultivation were carried out with these strains on a LB medium. CAS (chrome azurol S) analysis was used to determine the content of synthesized siderophores, the measurement was carried out in spectrophotometer SmartSpec Plus at 630 nm. Conclusions. This study showed that marine strains of P. aeruginosa can produce more siderophores than marine strains of Bacillus sp. At monocultivation, strain P. aeruginosa М1 was able to produce the largest amount of siderophores with value of SU (siderophores units) 65 ± 4% and the smallest one strain B. atrophaeus МН4 with value of SU 21 ± 1%. Co-cultivation provides an increase in production of siderophores in each strain, that is the result of special interactions between different microorganisms. And through it, the combination B. subtilis MC3+P. aeruginosa M1 demonstrated the highest content of siderophores with value of SU 81 ± 6%, the lowest content was shown by combination B. atrophaeus МН4+P. aeruginosa M3 with value of SU 41 ± 4%. And such results showed that co-cultivation is the useful method for obtaining more content of siderophores from already famous strains.

CARBON FOOTPRINT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA AND GHANA
Authors: Obayagbona Joel
Published: December 2023

The study investigates the relationship between carbon footprint and economic growth in Nigeria and Ghana over the period 1990 to 2020 (31 years). The carbon footprint related variables used in the study include greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy consumption, electricity consumption and trade openness; these were regressed against GDP per capita (a proxy for economic growth). The fully modified least square and panel dynamic least square were employed for the main analysis of the study. The findings revealed that greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy consumption have significant negative effect on economic growth in Nigeria and Ghana; while electricity consumption and trade openness have insignificant positive and negative relationship with economic growth respectively. The study recommends among others that, the governments should initiate carbon pricing law which should be implemented through a tax policy specifically on the emissions from burning of biomass which consist of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from the combustion of biomass in forest areas and carbon dioxide gas from the combustion of organic soils. High taxes will scare and deter indiscriminate bush burning among others resulting in serious environmental pollution and degradations. This measure will help reduce adverse GHG emissions and positively impact economic growth.
New Medical Technologies and the Reproductive Rights from a Human Rights Perspective
Authors: Terec-Vlad Loredana
Published: December 2023

The intervention of a medical team in the family life, by providing medical assistance within the limits of the administration of fertility drugs or surgical interventions did not raise major ethical dilemmas, since this interference in the private life is seen as necessary for a higher purpose (securing a more important right), namely the right to have children naturally (and not only through adoption). The human rights system requires the exclusion of any discrimination in the treatment of citizens when their fundamental rights are recognized and defended, but the new reproductive technologies, before discussing equitable access to resources, raise much more important issues, such as the recognition or the non-recognition of some new rights, which technology makes possible (or brings to the fore).
Examining the Continuation of Suicide Prevention in Probation System: Empirical Evidence from Europe
Authors: Baias Carmen-Valeria
Published: December 2023

The policies of the vast majority of nations and jurisdictions prioritize the prevention of suicide. In an effort to comprehend and eventually prevent suicide, psychologists, social scientists and forensic specialists from a variety of disciplines have provided suicide theories to explain the characteristics that render certain individuals more susceptible to suicidal behavior than most others. This review of the international practices for the continuation of suicide prevention in probation considers  risk factors for suicide in probation, how probation can provide initiatives for prevention strategies, and what is currently identified as strategies to lower suicide among persons who are on probation supervision, generating the best practices and evidence. The aim of this review is to explore how to provide suicide prevention program (SPP) to probationers and what are best international practices that ensure the continuation of the suicide prevention program after early conditional release of a prisoner. The author examines implications of findings resulted from these studies and makes suggestions for possible best practices. The programs designed to improve the mental health of at-risk offenders need to be reliable and thoroughly evaluated for effectiveness in probation. Additional services for mentally disturbed offenders need to be arranged after their release from prison in order to be reintegrated into the community. Practical implications are examined.
Educação ambiental e sustentabilidade: um caminho para o desenvolvimento econômico sustentável?
Authors: Oliveira Alessandro Silva de
Published: December 2023

Na presente reflexão teórica, argumenta-se sobre a relação entre a sustentabilidade e o desenvolvimento econômico sustentável, mediados pela educação ambiental. Considerando que o conceito de sustentabilidade envolve as dimensões sociais, políticas e econômicas e que a educação ambiental corresponde a um processo formativo frente às questões socioambientais, procura-se a relação entre elas para um desenvolvimento econômico sustentável. Para isso, discorre-se acerca do contexto histórico das relações humanas, o nascimento do conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável e sobre a incorporação deste conceito nas perspectivas da Economia Clássica e da Economia Ambiental Neoclássica. O desenho da relação entre a sustentabilidade e o desenvolvimento econômico é, então, fundamentado pelas perspectivas da educação ambiental, com enfoque na sustentabilidade. Nessa dialética, surgem questões sobre a educação ambiental para a sustentabilidade e reflexões acerca de caminhos para o desenvolvimento sustentável.
Zur Phraseologie im Prosawerk Der blaue Mond von Alma M. Karlin
Authors: Valenčič Arh Urška
Published: December 2023

Prispevek obravnava frazeološko izrazje v slovenskem prevodu literarnega dela Modri mesec (1938), ki ga je spisala pisateljica in svetovna popotnica Alma M. Karlin in je v izvirniku izšel pod naslovom Der blaue Mond: eine Erzählung für Jung und Alt. V tridesetih in štiridesetih letih 20. stoletja so ga bralci z navdušenjem prebirali. V analizi smo frazeologijo obravnavali z dveh vidikov. Najprej nas je zanimalo, kako frazemi v izhodiščnem jeziku vplivajo na sobesedilo, nato pa smo se osredotočili na prevodne ustreznice in jih primerjali z učinkom na sobesedilo v ciljnem jeziku.
