Authors: Sigareva D. , Bondar T. , Nikishicheva K. 
Published: October 2024

Goal. Selection among breeding samples of potatoes, created by four breeding institutions, resistant to the golden potato cyst-forming nematode Globodera rostochiensis (Ro-1).
Methods. The assessment of nematode resistance was carried out according to «Regulations on the procedure for testing potato varieties and hybrids for resistance to ... golden potato cyst nematode» (1993).
Results. Potato breeding material was evaluated for resistance to Globodera rostochiensis (Ro-1). Of the 640 samples that were sent from four breeding institutions (JSC SIA «Chernigivelitkartoplia», the Polissia branch of the Institute of Potatoes of the NAAS, Institute of Potatoes of the NAAS (IP of the NAAS), Institute of Agriculture of the Carpathian Region), the majority were resistant to pathogen 369 (57.7%) selection numbers, 104 (16.2%) were weakly resistant, 167 (26.1%) were unstable. All samples, which according to the results of the two-year laboratory and greenhouse tests were resistant, also showed a sign of resistance during the field test. Only 1 variety sample, which according to the results of laboratory and greenhouse studies was identified as resistant, turned out to be weakly resistant in field conditions. Two more varieties, which were considered weakly resistant according to the results of laboratory and greenhouse studies, turned out to be unstable in field conditions. One of them is tolerant. According to the results of yield accounting, all the studied 45 variety samples were divided into two groups: resistant (yield exceeds the control by 14—21%) and resistant and tolerant (yield exceeds the control by 58—102%). 25 cultivars are assigned to the resistant group, and 17 other cultivars are given the status of resistant and tolerant. Also, three more variety samples showed signs of tolerance, which turned out to be weakly resistant or unstable to G. rostochiensis (Ro-1).
Conclusions. According to the results of the assessment of resistance to Globodera rostochiensis (Ro-1) of 640 samples sent from four breeding institutions, it was established that most of them (57.7%) were resistant to the pathogen, 16.2% were weakly resistant, and 26.1% were unstable. According to the results, the database of resistance screening of domestic breeding material to Globodera rostochiensis was supplemented. Together with the breeders of IP NAAS, a resistant and tolerant to this pathogen cv. Myroslava was created.

INTRODUÇÃO: O foco da saúde materna tem se ampliado para incluir não apenas os aspectos físicos, mas também os mentais, dada a relação cada vez mais evidente entre a saúde mental materna e os desfechos adversos tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê. Dentre os transtornos mentais, a depressão pós-parto destaca-se como um dos mais comuns e prejudiciais, afetando a qualidade de vida das mães e o desenvolvimento infantil. Estudos indicam que a depressão materna pode ter consequências graves tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê, incluindo complicações no desenvolvimento fetal e infantil. A interseção de fatores biológicos, psicológicos e socioeconômicos ressalta a necessidade de intervenções precoces e efetivas para prevenir e tratar a depressão perinatal, uma área ainda carente de pesquisa e políticas robustas. OBJETIVOS: Analisar os fatores de risco que impactam no desenvolvimento infantil, destacando a intervenções para a saúde materna e infantil. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica de Julho de 2024 a Agosto de 2024 feitas na base de dados PubMed por meio dos seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): (maternal health) AND (Depression). Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos nos idiomas Português e Inglês de 2010 a 2024. Os critérios de exclusão foram: artigos duplicados, disponibilizados na forma de resumo. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram selecionados 50 artigos utilizando 19 artigos para compor a coletânea. RESULTADOS: A depressão pós-parto (DPP) é uma condição prevalente, afetando entre 10% e 18% das mulheres globalmente, com variações significativas entre regiões. A DPP não apenas compromete a saúde mental das mães, mas também impacta negativamente o desenvolvimento emocional e cognitivo dos bebês. Fatores de risco como histórico de depressão, baixa renda e complicações obstétricas foram identificados como preditores significativos da DPP. Intervenções precoces, especialmente a psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental, mostraram-se eficazes na mitigação dos sintomas da DPP e na promoção da saúde materna e infantil. A integração de serviços de saúde mental nos cuidados perinatais e o uso de tecnologias móveis em países de baixa e média renda são estratégias promissoras para melhorar a adesão ao tratamento e reduzir os efeitos negativos da DPP globalmente. CONCLUSÃO: A DPP continua sendo uma preocupação significativa, afetando tanto as mães quanto o desenvolvimento infantil. Fatores de risco diversos, aliados à falta de cuidados adequados, aumentam a vulnerabilidade à DPP, especialmente em regiões menos desenvolvidas. Intervenções precoces e a integração de cuidados de saúde mental são essenciais para melhor desenvolvimento infantil e materno.

Published: October 2024

Apesar de a evolução biológica significar e integrar a Biologia, são identificadas lacunas e dificuldades conceituais relacionados a essa temática. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar concepções equivocadas de licenciandos em Ciências Biológicas sobre processos evolutivos por meio de situações ilustradas em cartoons. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários online com todas as turmas de professores em formação inicial em Ciências Biológicas de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul durante uma aula inaugural do curso em 2022. O questionário tinha 14 questões e as perguntas foram apresentadas em forma de cartoons, os quais abordavam determinadas situações e personagens que opinavam sobre as mesmas, sendo que os acadêmicos escolhiam a fala mais adequada para a situação. Foram selecionadas as duas questões com maior divergência para serem analisadas neste estudo. Treze licenciandos responderam ao questionário, sendo que apenas quatro acertaram a primeira questão, que tratava de eventos aleatórios da evolução, e três, a segunda, que abordava a adaptação. Embora este trabalho apresente limitações, identificam-se dificuldades na compreensão de conceitos evolutivos, o que pode dificultar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de evolução biológica em sala de aula, e expor lacunas na formação.

Information accumulation on the item versus source test of source monitoring: Insights from diffusion modeling
Authors: Tanyas Hilal , Liss Julia V. , Kuhlmann Beatrice G. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSource monitoring involves attributing previous experiences (e.g., studied words as items) to their origins (e.g., screen positions as sources). The present study aimed toward a better understanding of temporal aspects of item and source processing. Participants made source decisions for recognized items either in succession (i.e., the standard format) or in separate test blocks providing independent measures of item and source decision speed. Comparable speeds of item and source decision across the test formats would suggest a full separation between item and source processing, whereas different speeds would imply their (partial) temporal overlap. To test these alternatives, we used the drift rate parameter of the diffusion model (Ratcliff, Psychological Review, 85, 59–108, 1978). We examined whether the drift rates, together with the other parameters, assessed separately for the item and source decision varied as a function of the test format. Threshold separation and nondecision time differed between the test formats, but item and source decision speeds represented by drift rates did not change significantly. Thus, despite facilitation on the source decision when the item decision was immediately followed by a test for source memory than when item and source were tested in separate blocks, findings did not suggest that source information already begins accumulating in the item test in the standard format. We discuss the temporal sequence of item and source processing in light of different assumptions about the contribution of familiarity and recollection.
La Comprensión Lectora con uso de TIC en un Entorno Inclusivo
Authors: Mejía Martinez Merlys 
Published: October 2024

Este escrito tiene como fin estudiar la comprensión lectora haciendo uso de las TIC, en un entorno inclusivo. Es así cómo, se analiza la manera en que la comprensión lectora es una habilidad fundamental para maximizar las capacidades en la escuela y en la vida. Sin embargo, muchos estudiantes, especialmente aquellos con discapacidades o diferencias de aprendizaje, luchan para desarrollarla. Un entorno educativo inclusivo es aquel que brinda a la mayor cantidad posible de estudiantes las oportunidades y el apoyo que necesitan para lograr sus objetivos. En este contexto, la comprensión lectora se aborda desde una perspectiva que reconoce y valora la diversidad de los estudiantes y sus diferentes condiciones socioeconómicas y capacidad cognitiva. Surge como desafiante desarrollar una educación transdisciplinar, porque la sociedad del siglo XXI, con una nueva generación de nativos digitales. De este modo, los docentes de hoy, se convirtieron en inmigrantes digitales (personas que hicieron la transición de un mundo analógico a uno digital), y ellos, deben encontrar las mejores formas de llegar a los estudiantes nativos digitales. La buena noticia es que los nativos digitales quieren aprender. Depende únicamente de los docentes ayudarlos a encontrar respuestas mientras se mantienen seguros en un entorno digital.
Ontología del Querer: Dialéctica entre lo Voluntario y lo Involuntario en Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Mondragón Palma Yessica 
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo aborda la ontología del querer conformada por la dialéctica entre lo voluntario (decisión, acción, consentir) y lo involuntario (carácter, el inconsciente, la vida). Dicho estudio lo realiza Paul Ricoeur mediante un acto de abstracción que revela la relación tan estrecha que existe entre la conciencia y el cuerpo propio; sin embargo, la fenomenología encuentra su propio limite, ya que ninguna herramienta metodológica logra agotar la complejidad del ser humano, una filosofía de la voluntad exige más que una análisis eidético. Está dialéctica muestra la importancia que tiene recuperar al cuerpo como cuerpo propio y no solamente como cuerpo-objeto, el cuerpo propio es el yo existente, pues mediante él se realiza la acción en donde la decisión encuentra su culminación. Para el filósofo francés no hay otra manera de demostrar lo que somos sino es mediante lo que hacemos, el ser dice el hacer y el hacer dice el ser, ser-hacer quedan totalmente imbricados. Así mismo, Ricoeur pretende superar la dualidad del entendimiento (cuerpo/alma) y constituir un Cogito integral, que al mismo tiempo es frágil por presentarse como libertad encarnada, es decir, como una voluntad atravesada por lo involuntario absoluto.
Nurses' Provision of Sexual and Reproductive Health to Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Integrative Review
Authors: Siraj Salima , Dahlke Sherry 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
To explore barriers and facilitators to nurses' provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care to community-dwelling older adults.

Method
An integrative literature review was performed using Whittemore and Knafl's method. Three databases were searched for research conducted between 2012 and 2023, and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to determine the quality of included studies.

Results

Nine studies were ultimately included for analysis, and themes were
Barriers to SRH Care
and
Facilitators of SRH Care
.
Barriers to SRH Care
included: nurses' lack of knowledge about older adults' sexual health, discomfort discussing sexual topics, age-related stereotypes regarding older adults' sexuality, and older adults' lack of knowledge of and reluctance to discuss sexuality and sexual health issues.
Facilitators of SRH Care
included: gender of health care provider, nursing education on effective communication strategies, encouraging open dialogue to challenge ageist perceptions, and sexual education for older adults.

Conclusion

Findings underscore the impact of stigma and negative ageist assumptions on whether discussions about SRH occur between nurses and older adults. There is a need for comprehensive education for nurses and older adults about SRH to recognize sexual health needs and promote open and constructive conversations. Moreover, research about how to best facilitate older adults' SRH is needed. [

Background & objectives: Notably, 17-hydroxy progesterone (17-OHP) (17-OHP) is a precursor for testosterone (T) synthesis, and intratesticular testosterone (ITT) is essential for spermatogenesis. Varicocele (Vx) has an estimated prevalence of 15% in the general population and 35% in those with primary infertility. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between changes of serum 17-OHP after sub-inguinal micro-varicocelectomy and improvement of semen parameters.Patients and methods: The current prospective study included 45 infertile men attending the andrology clinic form February 2021 to August 2021. Two semen analyses and hormonal profile were evaluated. Colored duplex ultasonography (CDUS) was done in standing and supine position for accurate measurements of testicular volumes and confirmation of Vx. Patients underwent sub-inguinal micro-varicocelectomy using a surgical microscope HB surgitech. We followed them prospectively up for three months following micro-varicocelectomy with serum TT and 17-OHP.Results: Sperm concentration improved significantly from 8.36 ± 5.04 million/ml to 12.52 ± 8.42 million/ml after 3 months following sub-inguinal micro-varicocelectomy (p= 0.001), with normalization of concentration in 15/45 (33%) patients. Total motility did not improve significantly but progressive motility improved significantly from 8.62 ± 8.74% to 16.24 ± 14.45% (p=0.001). Abnormal forms significantly declined from 96.67 ± 2.03% to 95.75 ± 2.47% (p=0.009). Serum 17 OHP and 17 OHP/total testosterone (TT) improved significantly from 1.21 ± 0.45 ng/ml and 0.26 ± 0.09 to 1.42 ± 0.76 ng/ml and 0.3 ± 0.16 (p= 0.013, p= 0.004), respectively, while serum TT did not improve significantly. A significant correlation was found between improvement in sperm concentration and both serum 17 OHP and 17 OHP/TT ratio (p=0.001, p=004). Furthermore, change in abnormal sperm forms showed significant correlations with changes in both 17-OHP and 17-OHP/TT.Conclusion: 17 OHP and 17OHP/ TT ratio can be used as biomarkers to detect improvement in semen parameters following sub-inguinal micro-varicocelectomy.

Introduction: While the efficacy of flexible ureterorenoscopy (URS) in managing solitary kidney stones (KSs) is widely acknowledged, its effectiveness in treating multiple stones has scarcely been investigated. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) utilizing flexible URS and laser lithotripsy in the management of multiple KSs. Methods: This study was a single-group cohort study conducted on patients with multiple KSs who underwent treatment with RIRS using flexible URS and laser lithotripsy. Stone-free status was considered as the lack of residual stone fragments or any residual stone of any size. The first follow-up appointment was arranged 3-4 weeks following the procedure. If significant residual stones were present, patients underwent reintervention within 2-4 weeks. Results: A total of 110 patients with multiple KSs were included. The mean stone burden was 27.5 ± 7.9 mm, and the mean duration of the operation was 54.9 ± 19.7 minutes. Seven cases (6.3%) experienced intraoperative complications, while postoperative complications were found in eight cases (7.3%). After four weeks, a stone-free rate (SFR) was documented in 80.9% of the cases, and this rate increased to 93.6% after three months. The SFR after three months was significant with Guy’s stone score (p < 0.001); however, it did not reach a significant level with any other parameters. Conclusions: The RIRS with flexible URS may be an effective and potentially safe procedure for treating multiple KSs. It may yield a favorable SFR with an acceptable complication rate.

Authors: Zwane Steven , Osuigwe Ubochioma U.S. 
Published: October 2024

Background: Increasingly, there is a concerted effort to provide entrepreneurship interventions to young people in a bid to activate their appetite for entrepreneurial activity. The current research seeks to offer meaningful insight into the effectiveness of these interventions and their potential to encourage entrepreneurship among disadvantaged youths in South Africa.Aim: The study aims to understand the connection between the participation of young people from poor communities in South Africa in entrepreneurship interventions and their entrepreneurial intentions to start a business.Setting: The data used for the study were collected from participants aged between 18 years and 34 years who had previously participated in entrepreneurship programmes between 2008 and 2019 offered by a variety of institutions.Methods: Using data drawn from a sample of 165 young people based on a survey instrument consisting of 16 questions, a regression analysis was employed to examine the significance of the relationship between the variables.Results: The results revealed that entrepreneurship interventions positively influenced entrepreneurial intentions. The study found that certain programmes had a significantly greater impact on promoting entrepreneurial intentions than those with a lesser focus on practical business skills. This outcome indicates the need for more real-world business training in future interventions.Conclusion: The findings suggest that providing entrepreneurship interventions and related resources can be an effective strategy for encouraging entrepreneurial intentions among disadvantaged youths.Contribution: This study contributes to knowledge related to entrepreneurial intentions with emphasis on the significance of entrepreneurship interventions in the advancement of entrepreneurial activity.
