Education of international migrants’ children during the pandemic
Authors: Омельченко Е.А. 
Published: August 2020

Весной 2020 года, когда мир охватила пандемия новой коронавирусной инфекции, многие дети из семей мигрантов, как и другие школьники, столкнулись с необходимостью перехода на дистанционное обучение. Для многих маленьких мигрантов переход на освоение знаний в режиме онлайн оказался невозможным из-за отсутствия гаджетов и компьютеров, нестабильного интернета или его полного отсутствия. Но, кроме чисто технических проблем, возникли и другие препятствия на пути к получению этой категорией детей качественного образования. Среди них – невозможность получения дополнительных консультаций, сокращение сферы коммуникации на новом для них языке и социальная изоляция. В статье анализируется влияние, которое оказало распространение коронавирусной инфекции, на сферу обучения и интеграции детей из семей международных мигрантов.
During the spring 2020, when the world was captured by the new coronavirus contagion, many children from migrants’ families along with other students, faced the need of transition to a distance learning. For many little migrants the process of gaining knowledge online appeared to be unreal because they do not have any gadgets or computers, their internet connection is unstable or absent. But, besides clear technical problems, there arose other obstacles on the way to good quality education for this category of children. The obstacles involve the impossibility to get supplementary language consultations, a cutback of the sphere of communication with the use of a language that is new for such children, a social isolation. The author of the article analyzes an influence that the spread of coronavirus infection has made on the sphere of education and integration of children from the families of international migrants.

Ulziy – a symbolic ornament of prosperity and the center of the macrocosm of Mongolian nomads
Authors: Гантулга Д. 
Published: August 2020

Первообразом символического орнамента благополучия (улзий) послужил обычный веревочный или ременный узел, который кочевники использовали в быту. Постепенно данный орнаментальный мотив получил широкое распространение. Символизирующий центр макромира кочевой культуры, он олицетворяет прочность, устойчивость, благополучие и счастье.
The prototype of the symbolic ornament of prosperity (ulziy) was the usual rope or belt knot, which the nomads used in everyday life. Over time, this ornamental motif became widespread. Symbolizing the center of the macrocosm of nomadic culture it represents strength, stability, well-being, and happiness.

Published: August 2020

AbstractPrevious research has shown an association between cognitive control deficits and problematic behavior such as antisocial behavior and substance use, but little is known about the predictive value of cognitive control for treatment outcome. The current study tests whether selected markers of baseline cognitive control predict (1) treatment completion of a day treatment program involving a combination of approaches for multiproblem young adults and (2) daytime activities a year after the start of treatment, over and above psychological, social, and criminal characteristics. We assessed individual, neurobiological, and neurobehavioral measures, including functional brain activity during an inhibition task and two electroencephalographic measures of error processing in 127 male multiproblem young adults (age 18–27 years). We performed two hierarchical regression models to test the predictive power of cognitive control for treatment completion and daytime activities at follow-up. The overall models did not significantly predict treatment completion or daytime activities at follow-up. However, activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during response inhibition, years of regular alcohol use, internalizing problems, and ethnicity were all significant individual predictors of daytime activity at follow-up. In conclusion, cognitive control could not predict treatment completion or daytime activities a year after the start of treatment over and above individual characteristics. However, results indicate a direct association between brain activity during response inhibition and participation in daytime activities, such as work or school, after treatment. As adequate baseline inhibitory control is associated with a positive outcome at follow-up, this suggests interventions targeting cognitive control might result in better outcomes at follow-up.
Evaluation of Selected Pakistani Honeys in Comparison with Manuka Honey Against Vibrio cholerae
Authors: Hussain Muhammad Barkaat 
Published: August 2020

Background: Antibacterial resistance in Vibrio cholerae has been reported in many parts of the world. Therefore, it is important to explore novel therapies which stand less chances of developing antimicrobial resistance. In this regard honey is getting worldwide attention because antibacterial resistance against honey is unlikely.
Objectives: To determine the antibacterial activity of locally produced Sidr (Ziziphus jujuba), Kalonji (Nigella sativa) and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp) honey against twenty-six clinical isolates of Vibrio cholerae to compare the antibacterial activity of indigenous honey with medically graded Manuka honey.
Methodology: Identification of Vibrio cholerae was done by standard cultural, biochemical and serological methods. Susceptibility pattern of Vibrio cholerae was also determined. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of locally produced Sidr, Kalonji and Eucalyptus honey, and medically graded Manuka honey was determined by agar dilution and kirby bauer test. American Type Culture Collections (ATCC) Escherichia coli 25922, Staphylococcus aureus 25923 and Acinetobacter baumannii 29213 were used as standard control strains.
Results: Manuka and Eucalyptus honey have comparable antibacterial activity against both sensitive and resistant clinical isolates of Vibrio cholerae. The lowest MICs were between 3.7 to 4% for medically graded Manuka honey, whereas Eucalyptus honey inhibited between the range 4 to 4.3%. Kalonji and Sidr honey inhibited these isolates between 6.7 to 7.0% and 6.3 to 7.0%, respectively.
Conclusion: It is concluded that Manuka and Eucalyptus honey could be evaluated in a clinical trial for the treatment of gastroenteritis caused by Vibrio cholerae.

Published: August 2020

Background: Diabetes is co-morbid with various metabolic and psychological disorders. Diabetes and depression are both chronic conditions with allied adverse and complicated outcomes.
Objectives: The current study was designed and planned accordingly to elucidate the associated frequency of depression with DM (Diabetes Mellitus) type 2 and prescribing practice of doctors depending on the distressing reality and threatening figures.
Methodology: A prototype prospective study was monitored in different public and private sector hospitals and clinics of outpatient settings in Karachi after taking approval from the Ethical Review Board of Hamdard University. In this context, seven hundred patients having diabetes were covered in the study and their data were analyzed through the Statistical software version 20. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was the preferred approach to evaluate the depression level.
Results: The outcome of the study established the fact of high prevalence for the co-morbidity of stress, anxiety and depression among patients with diabetes in Karachi, specifically among age bracket from forty to sixty years. Unfortunately, 80% (544) of diabetic patients in the study were suffering from depression and anxiety, while only 22.05% (120) patients were taking antidepressants and they were not counseled for the root cause of the disease. Severe depression (BDI score=38) was present in 100 subjects, moderate depression (BDI score=27) in 200 subjects, and mild depression was present in 175 of subjects. Being a patient of DM is itself a strong reason for contracting a depressive disorder. The result highlight improper treatment of depression in diabetic patients.
Conclusion: However, the current situation demands to follow proper treatment through effective and appropriate drugs to treat the disease from progressing. Moreover, efforts should be undertaken to strengthen the healthcare system where practitioners, either doctors, pharmacists or nurses are liable for patient care in both the physical and psychological domains.

Authors: Irshad Saba , Yasmeen Humaira 
Published: August 2020

Background: Unveiling of multidrug resistance in bacteria is becoming a global concern. It contributes as a main financial burden to treat infectious diseases especially in developing countries.
Objectives: This study was designed to determine the prevalence and resistance pattern of multidrug resistant bacteria from hospital soil.
Methodology: Using random soil sampling technique, bacterial isolates were obtained through dilution plate method. Antimicrobial screening of isolates was performed by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method against a panel of 14 known antibiotics. Furthermore, strains were biochemically identified following Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology.
Results: A total of 44 isolates were successfully identified from 4 soil samples of different waste areas of hospital from Multan region. Bacillus spp. and Staphylococcus ssp. were prominent isolates in all the sites. Resistance among Bacillus spp. was high against ampicillin (91%) and in Staphylococcus spp. against tetracycline (78%). Out of total strains, 35 were found to be multidrug resistant.
Conclusion: Presence of drug residue in the hospital waste contributes to its resistance in bacteria. A substantial increase of multidrug resistance in hospital waste demands an effective management against drugs.

Authors: Zainab Kashmala , Batool Hira 
Published: August 2020

Antibiotics production is the most emerging field worldwide with a constant need for the new ones to fight the microbial resistance. In this context, the research was pursued to isolate, characterize and screen for promising antibiotic-producing microbes from local soil. The soil bacterial isolates (S1, S2, S3,S4, and S5) and fungal isolates (F1, F2, F4, F6, and F7) were selected and screened for antimicrobial activity against the Test bacteria by agar well diffusion and disc diffusion methods. Assays for Extracellular enzymes including Protease, Lipase, Lecithinase, Cellulase, and Amylase following the substrate hydrolysis were performed on different Agars such as Casein Agar, Tween 80 Agar, Egg Yolk Agar, Carboxymethylcellulose Agar, and Starch Agar respectively. The isolated microorganisms which produced antimicrobial compounds were identified as Bacillus, Actinomycetes, Streptomycetes, H. werneckii, A. niger, A. flavus, A. fumigatus and P. notatum on the basis of their cultural and microscopic characteristics and their optimum growth. The antimicrobial activity was determined by varying pH and NaCl concentrations. The research work revealed that among all isolates Actinomycetes (21%), P. notatum (29%) and H. werneckii (21%) showed maximum bioactivities against the test organisms and all isolates exhibited at least four of the tested enzymes.

Authors: Taqdees Malik , Naim Asma , Saeed Asma 
Published: August 2020

Multi drug resistance has now become a worldwide therapeutic challenge due to the widespread use of broad spectrum antibiotics. Klebsiella species have significant importance in clinical field as they cause various infections in human and are considered as potential pathogens that express antibiotic resistance through their strong enzymatic activity. Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) are plasmid mediated enzymes produced mostly because of mutation and few other factors. These enzymes confer resistance against various Î²-lactam drugs including cephalosporins and monobactams. Among the genus Klebsiella, ESBLs are highly prevalent in K. pneumoniae followed by K. oxytoca.
This study was conducted in Pakistan to assess the distribution of ESBL producers among Klebsiella spp., an important member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. From January 2010 to January 2012, a total of 236 gram-negative isolates were collected from different renowned microbiological laboratories. Out of the 236 gram-negative isolates, 125 were found as Klebsiella spp. by using standard microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiling of these strains was performed by using Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Phenotypic detection of the production of extended spectrum beta lactamase enzyme was performed using double disc synergy method and combination disc method.
It has been identified that Klebsiella strains are highly resistant against Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Nalidixic Acid, Cephradine, Gentamicin, co-amoxyclav with the percentage of 100%, 86%, 86%, 82%, 82% and 80% respectively. The most effective antibiotics for Klebsiella spp. were found to be Amikacin, Meropenem and Piperacillin-tazobactam, with highest sensitivities of 96%, 94% and 91%. Phenotypic detection of Extended spectrum beta lactamase production by double disc synergy test was able to identify 28% ESBL producers among Klebsiella isolates whereas 64% were detected by combination disc test.

Abstract
We present optical–infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of Gaia 18dvy, located in the Cygnus OB3 association at a distance of 1.88 kpc. Gaia 18dvy was noted by the Gaia alerts system when its light curve exhibited a ≳4 mag rise in 2018–2019. The brightening was also observable at mid-infared wavelengths. The infrared colors of Gaia 18dvy became bluer as the outburst progressed. Its optical and near-infrared spectroscopic characteristics in the outburst phase are consistent with those of bona fide FU Orionis-type young eruptive stars. The progenitor of the outburst is probably a low-mass K-type star with an optical extinction of ∼3 mag. A radiative transfer modeling of the circumstellar structure, based on the quiescent spectral energy distribution, indicates a disk with a mass of 4 × 10−3
M
⊙. Our simple accretion disk modeling implies that the accretion rate had been exponentially increasing for more than 3 yr until mid-2019, when it reached a peak value of 6.9 × 10−6
M
⊙ yr−1. In many respects, Gaia 18dvy is similar to the FU Ori-type object HBC 722.
Population Modeling of Fast Radio Bursts from Source Properties
Authors: Bhattacharya Mukul , Kumar Pawan 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
We present a method to estimate the source properties of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) from observations by assuming a fixed dispersion measure contribution from a Milky Way–like host galaxy, pulse temporal broadening models for turbulent plasma, and a flat FRB energy spectrum. Then we perform Monte Carlo simulations to constrain the properties of the FRB source, its host galaxy, and scattering in the intervening plasma from the observational data of FRBs detected with Parkes. The typical scatter broadening of the intrinsic pulse is found to be considerably small, ≲ 10−2 − 1 ms, from physical models, with the interstellar medium contribution suppressed significantly relative to that of the intergalactic medium. The intrinsic width for nonrepeating FRBs is broadened by a factor of ∼2–3 on average, primarily due to dispersive smearing. From the simulations, we find that the host galaxy dispersion measure contribution is likely to be comparable to the Galactic contribution and the FRB energy decreases significantly at high frequencies with a negative spectral index. The FRB spatial density is found to increase up to redshift ∼2.0 and then drops significantly at larger distances. We obtain the energy distribution for FRB 121102 with repetition rate ∼0.1–0.3 hr−1 and exponential energy cutoff that is significantly smaller compared to typical FRB energies. We find that the probability of observing none of the other FRBs to be repeating at Parkes is ∼0.8–0.9 with the current follow-up data insufficient to suggest more than one class of FRB progenitors.

Published: August 2020

Results are presented of a study investigating solutions and procedures to incorporate private natural history collections into the international collections data infrastructure. Results are based on pilot projects carried out in three European countries aimed at approaches on how to best motivate and equip citizen collectors for digitisation:
1) In Estonia, the approach was to outline tools for registering, digitising and publishing private collection data in the biodiversity data management system PlutoF.
2) In Finland, the functionality of FinBIF, a portal offering a popular Notebook Service for citizens to store observations has been expanded to include collection specimens related to a field gathering event.
3) In the Netherlands private collection owners were approached directly and asked to start digitising their collection using dedicated software, either by themselves or with the help of volunteers who were recruited specifically for this task.
In addition to management tools, pilots also looked at motivation, persons undertaking the work, scope, planning, specific knowledge or skills required and the platform for online publication. Future ownership, legality of specimens residing in private collections and the use of unique identifiers are underexposed aspects effecting digitisation. Besides streamlining the overall process of digitising private collections and dealing with local, national or international challenges, developing a communication strategy is crucial in order to effectively distribute information and keep private collection owners aware of ongoing developments.
Besides collection owners other stakeholders were identified and for each of them a roadmap is outlined aimed at further streamlining the data from private collections into the international infrastructure.
In conclusion recommendations are presented based on challenges encountered during this task that are considered important to really make significant progress towards the overall accessibility of data stored in privately held natural history collections.
