Evaluating Subtle Field Imprints in Water by Droplet Evaporation Method
Authors: Jerman Igor , Ratajc Petra , Pollner Bernhard 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Even though water is regarded as something long understood and explained by conventional science â€“ many open-minded researchers know that it still hides many mysteries (water clusters, coherent domains, so-called memory, etc.). Many of these mysteries come to fore in ultra-high dilution (UHD) experiments and practices, where usually not even one molecule of the originating substances is left. Mostly, they can be tackled only by using the droplet evaporation method (DEM).1
Aim: One of the hypotheses of water memory suggests that through UHD (dilutions, shaking) the field of a substance is stably impressed into water. If this is true than we should be able to imprint also a field itself - not originating from a certain substance, but from other sources. Such imprint should be revealed by an appropriate research method.
Method: The DEM consists of monitoring dried water drops by dark field microscopy. It was discovered in the previous century by Ruth KÃ¼bler, a German artist, and further developed by Bernd-Helmut KrÃ¶plin, Minnie Hein, Berthold Heusel M. A. and Georg SchrÃ¶cker. It has also been used to research the still controversial special characteristics of ultra-high diluted aqueous solutions.2 It has been proved capable of demonstrating differences in subtle influences of an UHD (around 10-47 M, practically â€œpureâ€ water) of As2O3 on common wheat seeds. This method is therefore, capable of transferring certain, not yet fully understood or generally accepted subtle physical characteristicsof the solution to the remnant patterns after drop evaporation.3, 4
We used DEM to evaluate experiments on impressing the subtle field of five bioenergy healers and two so called â€œinformedâ€ objects (a glass and an â€œenergyâ€ card) into mineral or spring water with well-known characteristics. In all these experiments we also used control water that was of the same origin, but placed in a separate room. The DEM images were analyzed by special computer programs and statistically evaluated. No mother tincture of any kind was used.
Results: The results demonstrate that even such subtle fields can leave stable and reproducible imprints in water - made visually accessible by the remnant patterns after drop evaporation. The irradiated water samples were statistically different from the control. This difference can usually be observed even by a naked eye.

Conclusion
These results have several implications. They confirm as follows:
a)	water memory â€“ the main background of UHD effects,
b)	the possibility to imprint the fields into water,
c)	the existence of subtle fields not yet generally recognized by physical community and
d)	the capability of DEM to express the imprints.
Viscum album (L) extracts in cancer treatment: a systematic review of in vitro and in vivo studies
Authors: Carvalho Aloisio Cunha de , Bonamin Leoni Villano 
Published: August 2021

Background: Several reviews about phytotherapy and homeopathy have been published in the last years, including Viscum album (VA.L). VA is a parasite plant whose extract has anti-cancer proprieties and is used alone or in combination with conventional chemotherapy.
Methods: We performed a systematic review about the in vivo and in vitro models described in the literature, including veterinary clinical trials. The literature was consulted from Pubmed database.
Results: There are several kinds of pharmaceutical preparations about VA and their active principles used in experimental studies, lectin being frequently studied (alone or as an extract compound). More than 50% of available literature about VA is related to the lectin effects. On the other hand, the effects of viscotoxins are less studied. Among the in vivo experimental studies about VA and its compounds, the B16 murine melanoma is the most used model, followed by Ehrlich, Walker and Dalton tumors. The results point to the apoptotic effects, metastasis control and tumor regression. Some veterinary clinical studies about the use of VA in the treatment of sarcoid, fibrosarcoma and neuroblastoma are quoted in literature too, with interesting results. Considering the in vitro models, our review revealed that NALM6 leukemia cells, B16 melanoma and NC1-H460 lung carcinoma were the most studied tumor models, apoptosis signals being the most important findings. Only one study verified immunoglobulin and interleukin production. All consulted papers were related to phytotherapy preparations only.
Conclusions: Although the literature about the anti-cancer activity of VA extract and its lectins is enough, there is a marked lack of information about viscotoxin activities and about the effects of homeopathic preparations of this plant on animal tumors and on in vitro cultivated tumor cells.

The Modal Particles in the Storybook 原我这么棒 Yuánlái Wύ Zhème Bàng By Li Huizhen Partikel Modalitas dalam Buku Cerita 原来我这么棒 Yuánlái Wǒ Zhème Bàng Karya Li Huizhen

Particles in Mandarin can be divided into three kinds, namely structural, aspectual, and modality or modal particles. The particles have their own functions, as well as having grammatical meanings. This article discusses the particles of modality in the children's storybook entitled原我这么棒(Yuánlái Wύ Zhème Bàng) 'I'm So Great' by Li Huizhen. Particles of modality are widely used in the context of the conversation in the storybook, namely 啊 a, 吧 ba, 啦la, 了le, 啰luo, 吗ma, 嘛ma, 哪na, 呢ne, 呀ya, 哟yo. Through distributional analysis methods, as well as with the technique of evaporation and transfer analysis, the modality particles can be matched with phatic particles in Indonesian, such as 'ya', 'lah', 'sih', 'lho', and 'dong' which are generally located behind sentences, and some behind clauses. However, the meaning of the particles is uncertain and unsteady because each depends on the context of the sentence or the meaning of the sentence. The presence of modality particles in a sentence can change the meaning of a sentence, its type of sentence, or its language function.

This study ascertains the discriminant model that could best explain preservice teachers academic achievement. Using the University of Southeastern Philippines Admission Test (USePAT) and Standardized Admission Test for Teachers (SATT) results as predictor variables, a descriptive-discriminant research design was used involving 771 preservice teachers in a span of 3 school years. Variables entered in the discriminant model were numerical, verbal (SATT constructs), abstract, and general information (USePAT constructs). It is recommended that the University should revisit the USePAT to determine other measures as entry requirements in lieu of the ratings in the content subjects “ English, Math and Science - as these did not figure into the discriminant model.
Survey on Ethno-Veterinary Practices of Native Chicken Raisers in Davao Region, Philippines
Authors: Nadela Hyde 
Published: August 2021

Nine hundred (900) native chicken raisers were surveryed to verify the extent of ethno-veterinary practices in controlling diseases and parasites in Davao Region. In this survey, the author analyzed the extent of traditional medicine usage vis-Ã -vis that of modern drugs. Twenty four herbal species, 5 ethno remedies, 7 herbal dewormers, 6 herbal insecticides and one method for eliminating fowl mites were documented. Some herbs have multiple medicinal uses and others vary in their dosage and preparation, thus, the need for standardization and validation. Results also reveal that a significant percentage of raisers neither treat (23%) nor deworm (41%) their flock, an indication that some raisers do not consider native chicken production as an economic enterprise but only as a source of food for the family.

Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTEmerging data postulates that cancer is an important risk factor for disease severity and higher in-hospital mortality amongst patients with COVID-19. From a pathophysiological perspective, COVID-19 induces an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines, causing systemic inflammation, hypercoagulability, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms associated with severe COVID-19 disease in patients with cancer is uncertain. Moreover, the challenge of implementing social distancing in patients requiring specific anticancer treatments urged international societies to issue recommendations regarding the adoption of safety measures to reduce transmission risk and optimize anticancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide an extensive review of the clinical outcomes, prognosis and management of patients with cancer and COVID-19 infection.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the leading causes of women's cancer deaths worldwide. Recent clinical trials with PARP inhibitors showed promising therapeutic opportunities for OC patients. The assessment of BRCA mutation is well established as relevant in the prevention, early diagnostic, and family counseling for OC, and recently BRCA gene mutation was associated as a prognosis for PARP inhibitors treatment. In this scenario, the assessment of the patient's mutation is proposed on Brazilian oncology guidelines and should be advised by health professionals that treat OC. Objectives: Inquire Brazilian oncologists about BRCA gene testing requesting time in the clinical practice for OC patients. Material and Methods: From May 2018 to June 2019, approximately 400 Brazilian oncologists received an online survey with questions related to the indication and challenges of BRCA gene testing. The survey was sent in 4 periods (waves); each wave received approximately 100 answers. Results: The compiled information showed that, on average, each oncologist treated 3 to 5 patients with ovarian cancer, they would recommend testing for three patients. Most respondents would indicate, BRCA testing during patients initial diagnostic period (w1=44%, w2=50%, w3=58%, and w4=64%). The sample of choice for testing would be blood/saliva assessing the germline mutational status (w1=35%, w2=43%, w3=46%, and w4=47%). The main reasons for oncologists to refrain from recommending BRCA testing were associated with cost and lack of reimbursement followed by lack of genetic counselors, among other factors. Conclusion: BRCA testing is restricted and not recommended for all ovarian cancer patients from the private health care sector. There is a lack of consensus on testing recommendations and discrepancies between coverage and national guidelines standardizing. There main difficulties associated with refraining testing were related to reimbursement and health plan coverage. Besides, the lack of genetic counseling was also pointed to as a bottleneck on oncologic patients' multidisciplinary treatment.
