Virtual Reconstructions in Bernardino Amico’s Treatise on the Plans and Images of the Sacred Buildings of the Holy Land
Authors: Moore Kathryn Blair 
Published: September 2021

This essay explores the role of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land in cultivating perceptions of the Catholic pilgrimage buildings as worthy of preservation, especially by employing techniques of representation in printed books that engaged with the potential restoration of the real buildings in the Holy Land. The essay discusses the particular example of the printed book created by Bernardino Amico that was published in two editions of 1610 and 1620, with interactive perspectival renderings of the exteriors and interiors of the Christian pilgrimage churches in Palestine and Egypt, along with maps of ancient and modern Jerusalem. Centuries before the emergence of cyber archaeology, Franciscans like Bernardino Amico explored the potential for virtual reconstruction in the realm of printing to demonstrate the value of buildings as symbols of a shared history and faith, while also challenging those who actively sought to dismantle the same buildings in both real and virtual space. Bernardino Amico’s treatise exemplifies the potential of such virtual reconstructions of historical buildings to blur the boundaries between the empirically observed present, the imagined past, and a desired future.
Reflections on the Other Side. A Southern Iberia Origin for the First Pottery Production of Northern Morocco?

Published: September 2021

AbstractThis work is a starting point for rethinking the role of the Iberian Peninsula in the neolithisation of northern Morocco. It focuses on the similarities and divergences between the first pottery productions and their decorations in both territories. This relationship is supported by the existence of an accurate chronological gradation between the first evidence of Neolithisation in Iberian Peninsula and that of northern Morocco which suggests a north–south direction. We also present arguments on the possible links between the early ceramics from the north of Morocco and those from the south of Iberia, providing a first approach to an issue that will need to be carefully analysed in future research.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and types of antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative enteric bacteria isolated fromPelophylaxsp. Fifty-four frogs were collected from six provinces in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. In the cloacal swab cultures, bacteria from 160 different colonies were identified by biochemical tests, automated systems, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by the disk diffusion method. The observed drug resistance rate was the highest to ampicillin and cefazolin, while the lowest against ciprofloxacin and tetracycline. In the molecular assays,blaTEM(8Citrobacterspp.),blaSHV(2Escherichia coli, 1Hafnia alvei, and aSerratia liquefaciens),tetA genes (E. coliandKlebsiellaspp.) and a class 1 integron without any gene cassette (E. coli) were detected. Among the strains, no plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance [qnrA,qnrB,qnrS,qepAandaac (6 ′)-Ib-cr] was found. However, two of three quinolone-resistantKlebsiellastrains showed the novel amino acid substitution in thegyrA gene resulting in Ser83Asp and Asp87Glu.The clonality betweenE. coliisolates was also examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. We consider that multidrug-resistant Gram-negative enteric bacteria in the intestinal microbiota of a cosmopolitan frog species might be a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes.

Abstract
This study determined the choroidal thickness of senior (SN, n = 24) and middle-aged (MA, n = 17) healthy, mixed-breed mesocephalic dogs, both males (M) and females (F), using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The dogs were divided into two groups for examination: MA dogs (4–7 years old; 6 M, 11 F) and SN dogs (8–13 years old; 12 M, 12 F). Choroidal thickness of the dogs was investigated using SD-OCT radial and linear scans. The software of the device allowed determination of the exact measurement location on the choroid. Measurements of the choroid were taken manually using the SD-OCT calliper function at distances of 5,000–6,000 μm (dorsal and ventral) and 4,000–7,000 μm (nasal and temporal) from the optic disc. Mean (µm ± SD) (MA, SN) dorsal (188 ± 28, 184 ± 33), ventral (116 ± 23, 111 ± 16), temporal (152 ± 31, 151 ± 26), and nasal (135 ± 27, 132 ± 18) choroidal thicknesses demonstrated significant differences (P < 0.02–0.001) between all areas within each group. The choroid was thickest in the dorsal region and thinnest in the ventral region. There were no significant differences based on age. Mean (µm ± SD) (M, F) dorsal (181 ± 32, 190 ± 30), ventral (117 ± 16, 11 ± 21), temporal (150 ± 26, 153 ± 30), and nasal (128 ± 20, 138 ± 23) choroidal thicknesses demonstrated significant differences (P < 0.05) between dorsal and nasal regions. The choroidal thickness in dogs depends on the area assessed independently of their age and sex.
La pandemia del SARS-CoV-2 como riesgo global: desigualdad e inseguridad humana
Authors: Zavaleta Hernández Sandra Kanety , Rico Becerra Cesari Irwing 
Published: September 2021

La pandemia del SARS-CoV-2 cuestiona las estrategias de seguridad global dominantes y resalta las inmensas contradicciones de nuestro modo de vida. Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar, desde la perspectiva de la seguridad humana, la pandemia como riesgo y amenaza para la vida social a escala global. Se retoman las categorías conceptuales de seguridad humana y riesgo global, para comprender las desigualdades, violencias estructurales y vulnerabilidades que acompañan la emergencia sanitaria y que perpetuarán sus afectaciones en el tiempo, para hacer de ella una crisis social total. Mediante las metodologías cuantitativa y cualitativa, se examinan algunas de las principales tendencias de riesgo que la pandemia representa. La hipótesis es que, con la pandemia, se suprimen los resquicios de seguridad y certeza brindados por la modernidad, cuyas contradicciones provocaron la catástrofe planetaria más importante en la historia reciente. Asimismo, la pandemia muestra que las estrategias ancladas a la seguridad tradicional no son las más apropiadas para enfrentar las consecuencias que tendrá la crisis sanitaria. La reivindicación de perspectivas multidimensionales sobre la seguridad se hace imprescindible, para responder a riesgos y amenazas.
Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has questioned the dominant international security strategies, and also highlighted the immense contradictions in our global way of life. From a human security perspective, this investigation analyses the pandemic as a risk and threat to social life on a global scale. The conceptual categories of human security and global risk are used to understand the inequalities, structural violence and vulnerabilities that accompany the health emergency and make it a total social crisis. Some of the main risk trends that the pandemic represents are quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. It is proposed that the global pandemic is leading to the suppression of the loopholes of security and certainty provided by modernity, whose contradictions have led us to suffer the most important planetary catastrophe in recent history. Likewise, the pandemic has shown that the strategies anchored to traditional security are not the most appropriate to face the consequences that the current health crisis will have. Therefore, to respond to these risks and threats, it is essential to develop new perspectives on security.
Desviación de germen dentario permanente posterior a pulpectomía obturada con óxido de zinc eugenol.
Authors: Villavicencio Inga María Belén 
Published: September 2021

El óxido de zinc y eugenol (ZOE) constituye el primer material recomendado y más estudiado, hasta 2008 era el único material recomendado por la Academia Americana de Odontología Pediátrica como obturador de conductos. Sin embargo, el ZOE ha manifestado tasas relativamente menores de reabsorción o degradación en correlación a la rizólisis de los dientes primarios, causando irritación en el área periapical, necrosis de hueso y cemento y, desviación del germen del diente permanente.
Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente artículo es constatar que el óxido de zinc eugenol, tras una extravasación y su tasa de degradación más lenta a la rizólisis de los dientes primarios, puede desviar el germen dentario permanente. Frente al diagnóstico de persistencia de los incisivos maxilares primarios a causa de extravasación y no reabsorción del material obturador (ZOE), el tratamiento inicial en el caso clínico reportado se consideró realizar la exodoncia de las unidades dentarias 5.2, 5.1, 6.1, 6.2 y la remoción de los restos de material obturador extravasado ayudar al descenso de la corona clínica de las unidades dentarias sucesoras permanentes. Cabe señalar que el material obturador (ZOE) causó, como evidencia la literatura, el desvió del germen permanente (unidad dentaria 2.1) la cual posteriormente se tratará de forma interdisciplinaria.

Background: Shuxuan cattle is a crossed cattle breed in southwest of China, by crossing the indigenous Bashan cattle with two exotic breeds. The objective of this study was to estimate allele frequencies of the g.88925365A greater than C in TYW5 gene in Shuxuan cattle and to evaluate association between this polymorphism and meat quality traits. Methods: The SNP g.88925365A greater than C was genotyped in 151 Shuxuan cattle and subjected to association analysis with the 17 amino acid content and total amino acid. Result: The AC was the main genotype with 41.06% and C was the predominant allele with 50.99% at this locus. The allele diversity based on the He (0.4998), Ne (1.9992) and PIC (0.3749) revealed moderate genetic variation within Shuxuan cattle population. Significant association (P less than 0.05) was observed between the polymorphism and six amino acid content (Glu, Asp, Val, Ile, Ser and Cys). These results provided a potential genetic marker for the genetic improvement of meat quality in Shuxuan cattle.

Factors affecting the marketing of livestock in South Omo Zone: The case of Hammer woreda
Authors: Chekol Getachew Alene 
Published: September 2021

Pastoralism is important to the society for poverty alleviation, food security and economic growth. It is the backbone of many African countries’ economy, particularly Ethiopia. The main objective of this study was to investigate factors affecting the marketing of livestock in terms of sales volume in South Omo Zone: the case of Hammer woreda. From 35 potential pastoralist kebeles in the woreda, 3 kebeles were selected purposively. The multi-stage sampling technique and the proportional stratified sampling technique were used to select sample pastoralists from each stratum. A total of 388 pastoralists were selected by using the systematic sampling technique. The study identified that price, infrastructure, middlemen and promotional factors significantly affect livestock marketing. The findings of this study recommend that the government should formulate and implement appropriate market and pricing policies, disseminate market information in proper media and improve road networks to enhance the effectiveness of livestock marketing in the woreda.

Keywords: Infrastructure, livestock, marketing, price, promotion.

Authors: Oyania Felix , Kotagal Meera , Wesonga Anne Shikanda , Nimanya Stella Alice , Situma martin Samuel 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Background: In many resource-limited settings, patients with Hirschsprung’s Disease (HD) undergo initial diverting colostomy, followed by pull-through, and lastly, colostomy closure. This approach allows for decompression of dilated and thickened bowel and improved patient nutritional status. However, this 3-stage approach prolongs treatment duration, with significant stoma morbidity, costs, and impact on quality of life (QOL).Aim: To determine whether pull-through for HD can safely be performed with simultaneous stoma closure, reducing treatment approach from three to two stages.Patients and Methods: Children with HD and diverting colostomy were prospectively followed as they underwent pull-through with simultaneous stoma closure. Their in-hospital course, and 3-month outpatient course, were assessed for postoperative complications. Patients with total colonic HD, redo pull-through, and residual dilated colon were excluded from the study. Results: Of the 20 children, seventeen were male (n = 17, 85%). All patients had rectosigmoid HD. The median weight, age at colostomy formation, and age at pull-through were 11.05 kg (interquartile range [IQR] 10-12.75), 0.9 years (IQR 0.25-2.8), and 2.08 years (IQR 1.28-2.75) respectively. Mean duration with colostomy before pull-through was 1.1 years (SD 1.51). Median hospital length of stay was 6 days (IQR 5-7). Early complications included anastomotic leak (n=1), perianal skin excoriation (n=2), surgical site skin infection (n=3_, and burst abdomen (n=1). Longer-term complications included stricture (n=1, 5%) and enterocolitis (n=2, 10%).Conclusion: In this small case series, we have demonstrated that pull-through with simultaneous stoma closure can be safely performed in resource-constrained settings. Further studies are needed to understand the QOL and economic impact of this change in management for HD patients.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate retina, choroid and optic nerve in patients recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods: Fifty healthcare professionals who had COVID-19 infection- confirmed with polymerase chain reaction from nasopharyngeal swabs- and were at least one-month swab specimen negativeness after the treatment (CG) compared with 40 sex-matched healthy controls (HG). The dilated fundoscopy examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning were performed. The fundoscopy examination, subfoveal and peripapillary choroidal vascularity index (CVI), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and Bruch membrane opening (BMO)-minimum rim width (MRW) were evaluated.Results: The mean subfoveal and peripapillary CVI were found significantly higher in the CG than the HG (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). In the CG, two (4 %) patients had cotton-wool spot (CWS), one (2 %) patients had retinal hemorrhage. Discussion: COVID-19 might be associated with increased subfoveal and peripapillary CVI and retinal changes after the healing period.

Abstract
Background: To aid clinicians strategizing treatment for upper esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), this retrospective study investigated associations between primary gross tumor volume (GTVp) and prognosis in patients given surgical resection, radiotherapy, or both resection and radiotherapy. Methods: The population comprised 568 patients with upper ESCC given definitive treatment, including 238, 216, and 114 who underwent surgery, radiotherapy, or combined radiotherapy and surgery. GTVp as a continuous variable was entered into the multivariate Cox model using penalized splines (P-splines) to determine the optimal cutoff value. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust imbalanced characteristics among the treatment groups. Results: P-spline regression revealed a dependence of patient outcomes on GTVp, with 30 cm3 being an optimal cut-off for differences in overall and progression-free survival (OS, PFS). GTVp ≥ 30 cm3 was a negative independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS. PSM analyses confirmed the prognostic value of GTVp. For GTVp < 30 cm3, no significant survival differences were observed among the 3 treatments. For GTVp ≥ 30 cm3, the worst 5-year OS rate was experienced by those given surgery. The 5-year PFS rate of patients given combined radiotherapy and surgery was significantly better than that of patients given radiotherapy. The surgical complications of patients given the combined treatment were comparable to those who received surgery, but radiation side effects were significantly lower. Conclusion: GTVp is prognostic for OS and PFS in upper ESCC. For patients with GTVp ≥ 30 cm3, radiotherapy plus surgery was more effective than either treatment alone.
Intrinsic Value of Incentives Compared To Salaries: Can Organization Stop Paying Salaries?
Authors: Raju Valliappan 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
This research weighs significantly on challenging the present practice of compensation and rewards. Traditionally or conventionally, the organization reciprocates the gratitude to their employees in monetary terms. Non-monetary rewards being an exclusive section, it is not discussed in this research paper. Among the direct rewards, whether the companies should practice compensating their employees a fixed salary or pay only incentives for the tasks that are achieved? this question may not be welcomed by any employee as it touches the sensitive quotient. Nevertheless, organizations need to understand the right practice in the right era by implementing an intelligent framework. Equity Theory developed by Adams is laid as a foundation to encounter the present unfair reward system. Concurrent mixed-mode method research is done with 162 respondents (quantitative) and 15 respondents (qualitative). Multivariate analysis using SmartPLS 3.3.3 is executed to assess the measurement model and structural model to analyze the covariance between the constructs. The outcome of research claims that it is an ideal practice to implement task-based incentives in organizations rather than paying fixed salaries irrespective of the size or productivity of companies.
