Морфо-анатомічні показники хвої Pinus pallasiana D. Don. у різних лісорослинних умовах протиерозійного насадження
Authors: Bessonova V. , Iusypiva Т. 
Published: April 2018

<p>The paper studies morpho-anatomical parameters of the needles of <em>Pinus pallasiana</em> D. Don. in different forest growth conditions of the antierosion afforestation in the steppe Prydniprovya. The research objects are 25-27-year-old plants, which grow in cross-sectional rows on the northern slope of wooded ravine Viyskovyi. The test Plots differ in forest growth conditions especially in the extent of water supply.In spite of the relatively high drought tolerance of <em>P. pallasiana</em>, such morphometric indices of needles as length, width and thickness are reduced in dry forest conditions. Quantitative changes in a number of indicators of the structural elements of the anatomical structure of the needles indicate adaptive changes to the lack of moisture. The formation of needles in dry forest conditions causes the formation of a thicker cuticle, an increase in the thickness of the cells of the epidermis and the hypodermis (radially in the transverse section), which reduces the loss of moisture. However, reducing the size of the conducting beams limits both the flow of water into the needle and the outflow of assimilates. In arid growing conditions, the number of resin canals in needles is reduced compared to plants of thalweg, the layer of folded parenchyma, both the adaxial and abaxial parts of the needles, is thinned.</p>
Pobożność maryjna św. Jadwigi Śląskiej na tle ówczesnej epoki
Authors: Nowak Paweł 
Published: April 2018

Na duchowość św. Jadwigi – księżnej śląskiej wpływ wywarły trzy wielkie zakony wczesnego średniowiecza: benedyktyni, cystersi i franciszkanie. Jadwiga w młodości została wychowana w benedyktyńskim klasztorze w Kitzingen. Wraz z mężem ufundowała cysterski klasztor w Trzebnicy, według reguły którego żyła po śmierci męża, a jej spowiednikiem był zakonnik franciszkański. Maryjna duchowość tych trzech zakonów znalazła odzwierciedlenie w kulcie Matki Bożej w życiu św. Jadwigi.Księżna śląska czciła Matkę Bożą poprzez modlitwę do niej, fundowanie kościołów i ołtarzy ku jej czci. W sposób szczególny oddawała Maryi cześć, nosząc przy sobie jej figurkę bądź też obraz. Tekst łaciński Legenda maior nie wskazuje jednoznacznie, czy była to figurka. Jednak analiza tego tekstu i zwyczajów, które panowały we wczesnym średniowieczu, pozwala na stwierdzenie, że była to figurka Matki Bożej.

Authors: Tazart Zakaria , Douma Mountasser , Tebaa Lamiaa , Loudiki Mohammed 
Published: April 2018

AbstractIn recent years macrophytes have been considered promising tools in the biocontrol of harmful cyanobacteria blooms (cyanoHABs). In this study, the inhibitory effect of aqueous extracts of Ranunculus aquatilis and Nasturtium officinale on Microcystis aeruginosa growth was assessed via six treatments (0%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1% extracts). Chlorophyll a and carotenoid content were analyzed and changes in cell and colonial morphology of M. aeruginosa cultures were observed. Also, to reveal potential allelochemical compounds, total phenols (TPs), total flavonoids (TFs), and tannins (TTs) were analyzed in both extracts. The obtained results showed that M. aeruginosa growth was significantly inhibited by R. aquatilis and N. officinale aqueous extracts in a concentration-dependent way. After 8 days of treatment, the highest inhibition rates reached 100% and 75.74% respectively. The Chlorophyll a and carotenoid concentrations were decreased compared to the control group. Colonial and cell and colonial morphology changes were observed under the treatment group with 1% of aqueous extract accompanied by sedimentation of the cyanobacterial cells. This study shows that M. aeruginosa growth inhibition was induced by the total polyphenol, flavonoids and tannins. It was concluded that theses macrophytes may control M. aeruginosa and may be useful to control harmful blooms in lake-reservoirs.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
The thermal reactivation of granular activated carbon is a substantial ecological and economic benefit in the process of drinking water treatment. A significant amount of abraded carbon, which is similar to powdered activated carbon (PAC), is produced that can be brought to application at wastewater treatment plant level for the removal of micropollutants in a powdered activated carbon–activated sludge (PAC–AS) system. This excess carbon derived as a by-product from the reactivation process in a waterworks was applied directly into the activated sludge tank and has been elevated in this study by monitoring the removal efficiencies for benzotriazole, carbamazepine, diclofenac, metoprolol and sulfamethoxazole in the effluent of a semi-technical wastewater treatment plant of 39 m3. A simulation-derived sampling strategy was applied to optimize the recovery rates of the micropollutants. Flow-proportional, 72-hour composite sampling was considered best. The elimination rates obtained for a 10 g PAC·m−3 dosage were 73% for benzotriazole, 59% for carbamazepine, 60% for diclofenac, 67% for metoprolol and 48% for sulfamethoxazole. The obtained results underline the importance of appropriate sampling strategies, which can be derived from hydraulic modeling.

OBJECTIVE
Diabetes is associated with high risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, particularly in patients with dyslipidemia and diabetic complications. We investigated the incidence of CV events with intensive or standard lipid-lowering therapy in patients with hypercholesterolemia, diabetic retinopathy, and no history of coronary artery disease (treat-to-target approach).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In this multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study, eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to intensive statin therapy targeting LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) &lt;70 mg/dL (n = 2,518) or standard statin therapy targeting LDL-C 100–120 mg/dL (n = 2,524).

RESULTS
Mean follow-up was 37 ± 13 months. LDL-C at 36 months was 76.5 ± 21.6 mg/dL in the intensive group and 104.1 ± 22.1 mg/dL in the standard group (P &lt; 0.001). The primary end point events occurred in 129 intensive group patients and 153 standard group patients (hazard ratio [HR] 0.84 [95% CI 0.67–1.07]; P = 0.15). The relationship between the LDL-C difference in the two groups and the event reduction rate was consistent with primary prevention studies in patients with diabetes. Exploratory findings showed significantly fewer cerebral events in the intensive group (HR 0.52 [95% CI 0.31–0.88]; P = 0.01). Safety did not differ significantly between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONS
We found no significant decrease in CV events or CV-associated deaths with intensive therapy, possibly because our between-group difference of LDL-C was lower than expected (27.7 mg/dL at 36 months of treatment). The potential benefit of achieving LDL-C &lt;70 mg/dL in a treat-to-target strategy in high-risk patients deserves further investigation.

Reef Check is an activity to find out the condition of coral reefs and its surrounding ecosystems be then described and categorized its healthiness. The island of Java is one of the Islands in Indonesia that has lots of beaches, especially for East Java, here they have several areas that has become our research site in Sempu Strait, Sendang Biru, South Malang they are called Teluk Semut, Watu Meja, and Waru-waru. Underwater Visual Census (UVC) was used as a method for this research to identify reef fish in a transect of 100 x 5 x 5m scale in (Length, Width, and Height). Results shows several fishes was used to identify yet the family of Chaetodontidae with mean abundance 8 in Teluk Semut 1 station, 2.25 in Teluk Semut 2 station, 12.5 in Rumah Ikan station, & 13.5 in Watu Meja station. Watu Meja and Fish Apartment station shows higher mean abundance than other station, this indicates coral reefs ecosystem in this station have a better health & condition compare to the other stations. Results for family family Haemulidae, Snapper and Grouper shows low mean abundance, that indicates overfishing on Sempu Strait, South Malang. In other cases, the purposes of Reef Check is to determine the extents of human activities and its impact against the distribution and the healthiness of coral reefs in the area. For further extent, there has been still indications toward its management system yet fisheries potential in certain areas for this research.

Published: April 2018

We established a manual well-drilling pilot project based on the Water for All International drilling method in a small rural community in the Dominican Republic. Water testing for determining the level of biological and chemical contaminants was used to better assess the water needs of the community. For geophysical exploration, an experimental resistivity method and survey of existing wells provided information to better optimize the drilling location. With this information a pilot well site was selected in Tireo Abajo, and over the course of a week a 9 meter-deep well was successfully drilled, cased, and conditioned. The partner family and as many as 40 other members of the community helped to develop and implement this method during every stage of the process. This suggests the potential for a long-term development project that could benefit their community.
Considerations in the Diagnosis and Accelerated Return to Sport of a Professional Basketball Player With a Triceps Surae Injury: A Case Report
Authors: Anloague Philip A. , Strack Donald S. 
Published: April 2018

Study Design Case report. Background Acute injuries of the triceps surae and Achilles tendon are common in sports. Rupture of the plantaris tendon can be challenging to diagnose. There is limited evidence detailing the diagnosis, rehabilitation, and accelerated return to sport of elite professional basketball players who have sustained calf injuries. Case Description A 25-year-old male professional basketball player sustained an injury to his calf during a professional basketball game. This case report details the presumptive diagnosis, graduated progression of intervention, and return to play of a professional athlete with a likely isolated plantaris tendon tear. Outcomes The patient returned to postseason competition 10 days post injury. Objective measures were tracked throughout rehabilitation and compared to baseline assessments. Before returning to play, the athlete showed improvements beyond the minimal clinically important difference for calf girth (2 cm) and numeric pain-rating scale score (4 points, 0–10 scale). Functional testing was conducted that included the Y Balance Test lower quarter and the Functional Movement Screen, with results that exceeded or returned the athlete to preseason levels. Discussion This report details the case of a professional basketball player who returned to competitive play in an accelerated time frame following injury to his calf. Diagnosing a plantaris tendon rupture can be challenging, and anatomical variations of this muscle should be considered. It was demonstrated in this case that physical therapy rehabilitation was helpful in making a treatment-based clinical diagnosis when imaging was unclear. Level of Evidence Therapy, level 5.
