Published: December 2024

En la Costa de Ensenada, Baja California, la avena es uno los forrajes preferidos por los ganaderos, debido a su reconocida alta digestibilidad y energía metabolizable para el ganado. Esta región semiárida tiene una precipitación pluvial promedio de 250 mm de noviembre a abril. Bajo estas condiciones limitantes de agua de lluvia, es común que se registren siniestros por sequía en los cultivos de temporal (cebada y avena). El Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP), ha desarrollado variedades forrajeras de avena como Obsidiana, Turquesa y otras que podrían ser alternativas para las condiciones de la región, pero que necesitan ser evaluadas para determinar su potencial. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer la eficiencia en el uso del agua de lluvia por cinco variedades de avena forrajera del INIFAP en el valle de Ojos Negros. El experimento se llevó a cabo de diciembre a junio de 2023, en los terrenos del Sitio Experimental Costa de Ensenada. Se evaluaron cinco variedades de avena forrajera, bajo un diseño experimental de bloques al azar con cuatro repeticiones. Las variedades de avena de temporal evaluadas mostraron diferencias significativas en los rendimientos de forraje seco. Avamex y Obsidiana produjeron rendimientos de 3.5 y 3.3 t ha-1, respectivamente, que superaron en 43 y 33% a la variedad Regional y a Ágata. Las variedades más Eficientes en el Uso del agua de Lluvia, fueron Obsidiana y Avemex que requirieron 87 y 92 mm de agua de lluvia, respectivamente, para producir una tonelada de forraje seco. La menos eficiente fue la variedad Regional con 120 mm t.

Abstract
The development of neutron sources has experienced significant advancements over the last decade, propelled by high-power lasers and devices capable of confining plasma in smaller volumes with the aid of strong magnets. This paper explores the cutting edge of neutron generation, recent breakthroughs in utilising ultra-intense lasers and spherical tokamaks for neutron production and upcoming opportunities created by Microreactors. We examine the capabilities of laser-driven neutron sources, as microscopic sources, microreactors based on fission, and spherical tokamaks being a fusion source as volumetric neutron sources, evaluating their potential for sustained neutron output and their role in advancing research and industry requirements. These innovations collectively push the boundaries of neutron science, paving the way for novel applications in materials science, medical imaging, and nuclear physics. Finally, an overview of the R&D programme driving these innovations, with an emphasis on the vital role of private-public partnerships and roadmap for commercialisation is discussed.

Published: December 2024

The biggest problem of modern medicine and veterinary medicine is the antibiotic resistance of the causative agents of infectious diseases and accompanying opportunistic microflora. In most cases, the formation of antibiotic resistance is caused by the genetic properties of microorganisms as a result of their acquisition of new genetic information, or due to a change in the level of expression of the bacterial cell's own genes. An analysis of own research for 8 years (2016-2023) was carried out regarding the isolation of pathogenic and accompanying opportunistic bacterial microflora from biomaterial from poultry, as well as a comparative assessment of the resistance of E. coli isolates to antibacterial drugs isolated in 2016 – 2023. According to the results of own bacteriological studies of biomaterial from poultry from poultry farms of various technological directions during 2016-2023, 1,735 isolates of microorganisms were isolated. A wide range of microflora from the biomaterial of poultry was revealed, which is represented by pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, namely: E. coli (71-91 %), Salmonella spp. (2.7-13 %), Staphylococcus spp. (1-6 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1-1.27 %), Pasteurella (0.5-1.8 %), Proteus vulgaris (0.42-2 %), Enterococcus 1-13 %), Clostridia (1-2, 16 %). An increase in resistant strains of E. coli in 2023 compared to 2016 was established to the following groups of antibacterial drugs: to oxytetracycline (37 %), doxycycline, enrofloxacin (28.9 %), amoxicillin (21.7 %) and decrease to neomycin (27.2 %), gentamicin (26.5%). The high sensitivity of E. coli to apramycin, neomycin, fluorfenicol and fosfomycin was established. To solve the problem of reducing antibiotic-resistant strains in poultry farming, it is necessary to carry out constant monitoring of the sensitivity of isolated pathogens to the most of frequently used antibacterial drugs and control over the dosage of antibacterial drugs and their use for specific microorganisms.

Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o contexto do trabalho e da formação docente durante a pandemia da COVID-19, com vista à construção de uma perspectiva de educação profissional para além do escolanovismo. Na elaboração do estudo, foi realizada a pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo bibliográfica. Utilizamos para a coleta de dados tese, artigos e outras publicações legítimas para a construção da fundamentação teórica. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio da análise de conteúdo. Como resultado, observa-se que ainda há na educação contemporânea uma tendência voltada às concepções da pedagogia do “aprender a aprender”. Consequentemente, há evidências de fatores que apontam a fragilidade do trabalho docente enquanto princípio educativo. Nesse sentido, é necessário que os sujeitos envolvidos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem tenham clareza da força do trabalho e da formação docente na luta pelos ideais contra-hegemônicos. Assim, espera-se que o artigo contribua para o exercício de uma ampla contemplação e análise acerca da realidade educacional, favorável à formação humana integral.

Restoring Autonomy out of Context. Selective Heritagisation of the Drama Theatre in Veliky Novgorod
Authors: Litvinenko Ksenia 
Published: December 2024

This article considers the politics of heritagisation in relation to late Soviet built environments within a contemporary authoritarian context. It examines the imaginaries underpinning the 2020 competition for the renovation of the Novgorod Drama Theatre in North-West Russia (1970–1987), designed by Vladimir Somov of the Giproteatr Institute and completed as part of a state-sponsored theatre-building program. The article argues that, by drawing upon project-related drawings from Somov’s private archive, the competition organisers sought to aesthetically amplify aspects of his creative vision, such as an unrealised lighting solution, the concept of a “total theatre,” and the flexible auditorium. These efforts aimed to restore the architect’s autonomy through renovation. Simultaneously, certain elements of the late Soviet building industry and subsequent maintenance were presented as expendable, allegedly hindering the full realization of the architect’s individual creative aspirations. Consequently, the theatre’s renovation concept became a selective process, prioritizing values of individualism and professional autonomy while framing the Soviet institutional context as merely a material, political, or economic “constraint” devoid of historical significance. To contextualise these findings, the article contrasts the narratives promoted by the competition with the historical realities and discourses it obscured, including Soviet postmodern and institutional critiques, the constraints and opportunities embedded in the state construction and financing system, and the forms of creativity available to architects within it.

Thyroid Mutations and Implications for Clinical Treatment
Authors: Zhang Emily S. , Scharpf Joseph 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
This article provides an overview of the evolving paradigm in the management of aggressive thyroid cancer. While differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) generally has a favorable prognosis, subsets such as radioactive iodine-refractory DTC, medullary thyroid cancer, and anaplastic thyroid cancer present significant challenges with high mortality rates. The identification of aggressive diseases through molecular testing has revolutionized risk stratification and treatment options, allowing for targeted therapies that match-specific genetic alterations. DTCs can have BRAF-like or RAS-like pathways of driver mutations with strong genotype–phenotype correlations, which are targetable through multikinase and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Case studies illustrate how molecular profiling can guide clinical decisions and enhance treatment outcomes. Ultimately, the incorporation of genetic insights into clinical practice is essential for improving management strategies, minimizing overtreatment, and optimizing patient care in advanced thyroid cancer.

Exploring the frontiers of neurostimulation: The role of transcranial direct current stimulation in modern neuroscience
Authors: Saran Brijesh 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that has gained significant interest in both clinical and research settings. It involves applying a low, constant electrical current to the scalp to modulate neuronal activity. tDCS is valued for its cost-effectiveness, portability, and simplicity compared to other brain stimulation methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This article explores the historical context, mechanisms, and clinical applications of tDCS, highlighting its potential in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders and enhancing cognitive functions.

Objectives:
The noninvasive brain stimulation method known as tDCS has drawn a lot of attention in both clinical and scientific contexts. To alter neuronal activity, a low, steady electrical current is applied to the scalp. When compared to other brain stimulation techniques such as TMS, tDCS is prized for its affordability, mobility, and ease of use. The historical background, workings, and clinical uses of tDCS are examined in this article, with an emphasis on how it may be used to cure mental and neurological conditions as well as improve cognitive abilities.

Methods:
tDCS, a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, has garnered significant interest in both clinical and scientific settings. A low, constant electrical current is given to the scalp to change neural activity. tDCS is valued for its cost, portability, and simplicity of usage in contrast to other brain stimulation methods such as TMS. This article explores the history, mechanism, and clinical applications of tDCS, focusing on its potential for treating neurological and mental disorders and enhancing cognitive function.

Results:
Participants’ depression levels significantly decreased, according to the study. By the end of the intervention, over 50% of the participants had responded, and at the 1-month follow-up, this percentage had risen to almost 77%. Only minor, self-limiting adverse effects, such as tingling and soreness at the stimulation site, were experienced during the well-tolerated treatment. These results show that tDCS is effective in treating depression and is in line with international research.

Conclusion:
The tDCS significantly reduces depression symptoms and is a well-tolerated and successful supplementary treatment for treatment resistant depression. The study encourages more research into the therapeutic uses of tDCS, especially for people who do not react to conventional antidepressant drugs. Notwithstanding the encouraging outcomes, the study admits its shortcomings, including its limited sample size and lack of a control group. To maximize the use of TDCS in clinical practice, future studies should concentrate on maintenance procedures, long-term effects, and customized treatment strategies.

Authors: Chaurasiya Priyanka , Tyagi Mayurika Subodh Kumar , Singh Swati , Kumar Sachin 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
The blood donor deferral patterns refer to the various reasons or criteria that may result in a person being temporarily or permanently deferred from donating blood. These deferral patterns are put in place to ensure the safety of both the donor and the recipient of the blood.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to study aims to analyze the various causes responsible for blood donor deferral and their rates in a tertiary care hospital in northern India.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis of the blood donor deferral data of a tertiary care hospital attached to a medical college during the period of January 2019 to June 2023 (4 year and 6 months) was conducted. Data were extracted from the donor register and analyzed.

Results:
A total of 5051 donors presented to our blood bank during this period out of which 306 (6.05%) were deferred. The percentage of total registration deferrals was higher in males (62.7%) than in females (37.3%). Donor deferral due to temporary reasons, i.e., (84.31%) was much higher than for permanent reasons, i.e., (15.7%) according to the data obtained. Anemia (34.1%) is the most common cause of temporary reasons in both males and females while in permanent deferrals, the most common reason for female deferral was chronic hypertension (14.6%) and in males, the most common reason for deferral was diabetes on insulin (12.5%).

Conclusion:
The pattern of donor deferral helps to identify specific risk factors or behaviors that may pose a threat to the safety of donated blood. By understanding these patterns, blood banks can focus on targeted interventions to minimize potential risks and ensure the safety of the blood supply.
The contribution of digital technology in exacerbating gender based violence against female students in higher learning institutions in Tanzania.
Authors: M. Kavishe Angela 
Published: December 2024

Studies indicate that gender-based violence has been practised and sometimes normalised at higher learning institution campuses in Tanzania. Despite various efforts to curb the GBV, at Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy, studies indicate that violent incidences directed at female students persist, and cases are increasing. Inspired by the objectification school of thought, the study aimed to collect information from female students’ awareness of offline and online gender-based violence as well as their knowledge of the contribution of digital technology to the aggravation of cyber harassment. The study was undertaken at Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy. It involved 343 female students who filled in the online survey questionnaire. Thirty-four (34) of those who were harassed online were interviewed and participated in an FGD while 10 Key informants were interviewed. The results indicate that MNMA female students are aware of gender-based violence but are shallowly knowledgeable on the root causes of online gender-based violence. The study has found that digital technology supports aggravation by concealing the perpetrator; increasing accessibility of victims; multiplying violent incidences; extending aggression in space and time and providing a platform for female students’ self-objectification. It is concluded that still the struggle against gender inequality persists and that digitisation complicates the phenomenon. The study recommends that higher learning institutions should continue their efforts to challenge the prevailing gender inequality gaps and increase awareness to enable students of both sexes.
