Abstract
The seeds of lesser-known tropical legume trees are currently being promoted as a cost-effective method of increasing broiler productivity, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Several feeding trials have evaluated the effects of baobab seed meal (BSM) on broiler chicken productivity. However, due to differences in experimental conditions among feeding trials, drawing broad conclusions using this large volume of data appears difficult. Thus, the meta-analytic effect of BSM on growth performance [i.e., feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and body weight gain (BWG)] and carcass characteristics of broilers were investigated using 14 peer-reviewed published articles. These articles were retrieved via a systematic search conducted on Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Elicit.com, and PubMed databases. The effect size was calculated via a random effect model, and results were expressed as standardised mean differences (SMD) at 95% confidence intervals. The pooled results showed that broilers fed BSM had significantly lower BWG (SMD = −0.77; −0.19, −0.30; p < 0.001), dressed carcass weight (SMD = −0.84; −1.44, −0.23; p = 0.007), and higher FCR (SMD = 0.55; 0.19, 0.91; p < 0.001) than those fed control diets. However, feed intake, dressing percentage, and weights of breast, thigh, and drumstick were not significantly affected. Subgroup analyses showed that the Marshall strain-fed BSM-based diets had significantly heavier BWG (p < 0.001) than the Hubbard, Ross, and Anak strains. Similarly, results revealed that broilers fed soaked and roasted BSM had significantly better FCR and BWG than broilers fed sundried and fermented BSM. Broilers fed BSM-based diets from days 29–56 (SMD = 0.17; −0.51, 0.84; p = 0.622) and days 1−56 (SMD = −0.89; −1.41, −0.36; p < 0.001) had significantly improved FCR compared to those offered BSM-based diets from days 1–21 (SMD = 2.58; 1.65, 3.51; p < 0.001), days 1–28 (SMD = 0.85; 0.35, 1.34; p < 0.001), and days 22–42 (SMD = 1.82; 1.02, 2.62; p < 0.001). Similarly, broilers fed BSM-based diets from days 29–56 (SMD = 0.21; −0.38, 0.79; p = 0.484) and days 1−56 (SMD = 0.92; 0.16, 1.69; p = 0.018) had significantly higher BWG than those offered BSM-based diets from days 1–21 (SMD = −3.39; −4.41, −2.37; p < 0.001), days 1–28 (SMD = −1.32; −1.91, −0.72; p < 0.001), and days 22–42 (SMD = −2.24; −2.75, 1.73; p < 0.001). Meta-regression revealed a low to moderate effect of processing methods, broiler strains, inclusion level, and feeding duration as covariates, explaining most of the sources of heterogeneity. In conclusion, broilers fed 1–10% of soaked, and roasted BSM from days 1 to 56 had improved growth performance parameters when compared to those on the control.
Synthesis, characterization and antioxidant screening of a 1,10-phenanthroline-based tetraza-macrocyclic ligand and its nickel complex with therapeutic potential and catalytic significance
Authors: Ohaekenyem Emmanuel C. , Onyido Ikenna 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this study, we present a synthetic route for the preparation of a novel 1,10- phenanthroline-based tetraza-macrocyclic ligand, 5,12,25,28-tetraazaheptacyclo [14.8.4.2⁴,⁷.210,13.0⁶,11.019,27.022,26]dotriaconta-1 (25),4,6,8,10,12,16(28),17,19(27),20,22(26),23,29, 31-tetradecaene, 3 and its corresponding nickel complex, (28Z)-1,3,6,31-tetraaza-2-nickelaoctacyclo [17.9.3.2⁷,28.0³,16.0⁴,13.0⁵, 10.022,30.025,29]tritriaconta-4(13),5(10),6,8,11,14,16,19(31),20,22(30), 23,25(29),26,28(32)-tetradecaene, 8. The ligand was synthesized via a condensation reaction involving 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and 2,9-dicarbaldehyde-1,10 phenanthroline, followed by nickel metal complexation. Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and thermal analyses were employed to characterize the ligand and its Ni complex. Their ADMET parameters and potential macromolecular targets calculations showed they have therapeutic potentials. The antioxidant assay shows that Ni-complex is approximately 9 times more potent than the ligand with IC50 values of 0.045 mg/ml and 0.404 mg/ml, respectively. Their microspecies distribution which was predicted using ChemAxon Predictor revealed their catalytic potentials The reaction mechanisms involved are discussed. The 1,10-phenanthroline-based macrocyclic ligand and its nickel complex significantly expand the structural diversity within the tetraza-macrocyclic ligand system and serve as base ligands for the development of possible derivatives, with concomitant applicability in drug development and catalysis.
Metallurgical failure investigation of small bore piping (SBP) in a diesel hydrotreating unit (DHT) of an oil refinery
Authors: Cagliyan E. , Fischer B. , Giller M. , Neidel A. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Hydrocarbon leaks were repeatedly found in the client’s refinery. Because of the recurring nature of this failure, the operator approached the authors’ laboratory to get a second opinion on the metallurgical root cause of the failure. It was known from the customer that corrosive species, such as ammonium chloride salt precipitates, are present in the subject diesel hydrotreating unit (DHT). From the findings obtained in the investigation that is the subject of this contribution, the conclusion of the original metallurgical root cause analysis (RCA), namely that the subject piping failed by transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (Cl-SCC), could be verified and is indeed correct. The metallurgical root cause of the small bore piping (SBP) failure is chloride-induced SCC. The morphology of the cracking is very distinct and is clearly consistent with transgranular Cl-SCC. A material change to the nickel-base material Alloy 625, already considered by the client, since this alloy is believed to be immune to chloride-induced SCC, would be a good, even though expensive solution. It should be emphasized that there are no metallic materials completely resistant to SCC. If the environment is harsh enough, except for some titanium alloys, i. e., if the source of the chloride ions cannot be eliminated, which is likely the case here, a regular inspection and replacement of these SBP systems might have to be considered. It should further be emphasized that a chloride concentration below 50 ppm is by no means any guarantee for the avoidance of SCC, since chlorides can concentrate in crevices, corrosion pits and such, i. e., the local concentration is what matters, not the local.

Kalibrierung und Messunsicherheitsbetrachtung eines medizinischen Bohrers mit integrierter Temperatursensorik zur Minimierung des Patientenrisikos bei minimalinvasiven Bohrungen an der lateralen Schädelbasis
Authors: Knott Anna-Lena , Huber Meike , Karakus Ugur , Müller Tobias , Schmitt Robert H. 
Published: July 2024

Zusammenfassung
Die Hauptgefahr bei minimalinvasiven Bohrungen für die Gesundheit des Patienten ist eine thermische Verletzung von Nerven- oder Knochengewebe durch einen erhöhten Wärmeeintrag. Für die prozessparallele Ermittlung der Bohrgrundtemperatur wurde ein Bohrer mit integrierter Temperatursensorik entwickelt. Diese gemessene Temperatur steht jedoch in einem unbekannten Zusammenhang mit der realen Bohrgrundtemperatur, da Unsicherheiten die Messung beeinflussen. Um die Temperatur als verlässliche Entscheidungsgrundlage während der minimalinvasiven Bohrung verwenden zu können, müssen systematische Abweichungen der gemessenen Temperatur von der realen Temperatur bekannt sein. Zufällige Abweichungen und solche systematischen Abweichungen, die nicht korrigiert werden können, müssen in einer Messunsicherheitsbetrachtung zusammengefasst werden. Zur Bestimmung der Kalibrierkurve wird ein Messaufbau entworfen, um systematische Fehler der Temperaturmessung mit dem Bohrer kompensieren zu können. Die Ergebnisse der Unsicherheitsbetrachtung zeigen, dass die Unsicherheit mit steigender Temperatur steigt. Die Unsicherheit wird konservativ mit u

T
= 1 K abgeschätzt. Zur Beurteilung einer thermischen Schädigung des Gewebes wird der CEM43 herangezogen, dessen Güte jedoch in erheblichem Maß von der zugrundeliegenden Datenqualität abhängt. In einer Analyse des Einflusses der Messunsicherheit auf den CEM43 mit der Unsicherheitsfortpflanzung und Monte-Carlo-Methoden wird festgestellt, dass bereits geringe Unsicherheiten in der Temperaturmessung zu erheblichen Abweichungen des CEM43 führen. Der intraoperative Einsatz des CEM43 als Kennwert für eine thermische Gewebeschädigung ist deshalb nicht möglich.

Abstract
Mainer-Pardos, E, Bishop, C, and Gonzalo-Skok, O. Seasonal variations in performance and asymmetry data for jump and change of direction abilities in female soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 38(10): 1768–1777, 2024—The study aimed to evaluate the progression of the percentage-based change of direction (COD) deficit (%CODD) over a competitive season, along with its correlation with performance tests and to examine the impact of the magnitude and direction of asymmetry at 4 stages of the season. Forty-seven (U-16, U-18, and U-20), highly trained, female soccer players performed unilateral vertical jumping (countermovement jump [CMJ]) and horizontal jumping (HJ), 10-m sprint, and 180° change of direction (COD180) tests. The %CODD was also calculated. Significant group and time effects (p < 0.05) were observed in CMJ, HJ, 10-m sprint, and COD180 tests, with U-20 players generally outperforming the U-18 and U-16 groups. Nonsignificant differences were reported in the %CODD between any time point or groups throughout the season. Moderate or large significant (r = 0.44–0.64; p < 0.05) relationships were found between %CODD and 10 m. The direction of asymmetry within and between tests at all time points was slight to moderate (k = −0.29 to 0.57). Notwithstanding, 51% of the players showed the best performance in the horizontal jump with the same leg throughout the season, whereas only 36% in %CODD. This study highlights the importance of developing strategies to improve %CODD depending on the player's position demands. Finally, individually monitoring the magnitude and direction of asymmetry can help practitioners monitor the effects of training and competition throughout the season.

Bernhard Lisovskyi – a German in the millstones of Stalinist repressions
Authors: Chepurko O.O. , Boiko O.V. 
Published: July 2024

For the first time in historiography, the authors devoted an article to the tragic fate of Bernhard Lisovskyi (1898–1937), a German by origin, who, like many other representatives of national minorities, was absorbed by the flywheel of Soviet repression in the 1930s. The complete absence of scientific works devoted to the life and circumstances of the death of Bernhard Lisovskyi was revealed; only few mentions of him were found, which are contained in publications, primarily memoirs dedicated to the life and work of his famous brother, the artist Robert Lisovskyi. The research is based mainly on the analysis of the sources that have not yet been introduced into scientific circulation – the materials of two archival-investigative cases of Bernhard Lisovskyi, which are stored in the archives of the Dnipro city. The reconstruction of the biography of Bernhard Lisovskyi was carried out, the circle of his closest people and their fate in life were outlined. The documents of the archival- investigative cases of Bernhard Lisovskyi were analyzed, the reasons and detailed course of repressive actions against him were clarified. It was determined that the persecution of Lisovskyi took place in two stages: 1) in 1935, when due to the lack of convincing evidence of his guilt, first in espionage, and later in anti- Soviet agitation, the case was closed and Bernhard was released; 2) in 1937 – the final decision on his liquidation based on artificially created accusations regarding Lisovskyi’s participation in the anti- Soviet Polish military organization and planning terrorist activities. The course of the investigation of his case by the special services was considered, in particular, the investigation protocols with the testimony of Lisovskyi, witnesses, and eyewitness accounts were studied. The main reason for his arrest was determined to be his ethnic origin, which in most cases became the decisive factor for the relentless use of repressive measures against him. It has been proven that the investigators were constantly searching for new evidence of Bernhard’s anti- Soviet activities (communication with foreign relatives, campaigning, past connections with Germans, etc.), which would give the least reason to connect Bernhard Lisovskyi with espionage, counter- revolutionary network activities. The details of the second arrest of Bernhard Lisovskyi and the efforts of the NKVD authorities to include him together with other Kamianske residents in a fabricated case against the fictitious Polish underground, subversive- intelligence, terrorist organization – PMO are covered. The circumstances of the political rehabilitation of Bernhard Lisovskyi and the prospects of further scientific research into the case of PMO in Dnipropetrovsk oblast are separately disclosed.

Key Points

Among 4173 children with AKI, 18% had major adverse kidney events (death, kidney failure, or CKD) during a median 10-year follow-up.AKI survivors were at 2–4 times higher risk of major adverse kidney events, hypertension, and subsequent AKI versus matched hospitalized comparators.This justifies improved surveillance after pediatric AKI to detect CKD and hypertension early and improve long-term kidney health.

Background
AKI is common in hospitalized children. Pediatric AKI receiving acute KRT is associated with long-term CKD, hypertension, and death. We aim to determine the outcomes after AKI in children who did not receive acute KRT because these remain uncertain.

Methods
Retrospective cohort study of all hospitalized children (0–18 years) surviving AKI without acute KRT between 1996 and 2020 in Ontario, Canada, identified by validated diagnostic codes in provincial administrative health databases. Children with prior KRT, CKD, or AKI were excluded. Cases were matched with up to four hospitalized comparators without AKI by age, neonatal status, sex, intensive care unit admission, cardiac surgery, malignancy, hypertension, hospitalization era, and a propensity score for AKI. Patients were followed until death, provincial emigration, or censoring in March 2021. The primary outcome was long-term major adverse kidney events (a composite of all-cause mortality, long-term KRT, or incident CKD).

Results
We matched 4173 pediatric AKI survivors with 16,337 hospitalized comparators. Baseline covariates were well-balanced following propensity score matching. During a median 9.7-year follow-up, 18% of AKI survivors developed long-term major adverse kidney event versus 5% of hospitalized comparators (hazard ratio [HR], 4.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6 to 4.4). AKI survivors had higher rates of long-term KRT (2% versus <1%; HR, 11.7; 95% CI, 7.5 to 18.4), incident CKD (16% versus 2%; HR, 7.9; 95% CI, 6.9 to 9.1), incident hypertension (17% versus 8%; HR, 2.3; 95% CI, 2.1 to 2.6), and AKI during subsequent hospitalization (6% versus 2%; HR, 3.7; 95% CI, 3.1 to 4.5), but no difference in all-cause mortality (3% versus 3%; HR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.7 to 1.1).

Conclusions
Children surviving AKI without acute KRT were at higher long-term risk of CKD, long-term KRT, hypertension, and subsequent AKI versus hospitalized comparators.

Key Points

This study developed a urine acid/base score to assess tubular acid excretion capacity and identify early acid retention in CKD.The results show that early signs of acid retention (a low acid/base score) are associated with a higher risk for CKD progression.Future research should address if a low urine acid/base score can be improved and if this translates into clinically meaningful effects.

Background
Acidosis is associated with exacerbated loss of kidney function in CKD. Currently, acid/base status is assessed by plasma measures, although organ-damaging covert acidosis, subclinical acidosis, may be present before reflected in plasma. Low urine NH4
+ excretion associates with poor kidney outcomes in CKD and is proposed as a marker for subclinical acidosis. However, low NH4
+ excretion could result from either a low capacity or a low demand for acid excretion. We hypothesized that a urine acid/base score reflecting both the demand and capacity for acid excretion would better predict CKD progression.

Methods
Twenty-four–hour urine collections were included from three clinical studies of patients with CKD stage 3 and 4: a development cohort (N=82), a variation cohort (N=58), and a validation cohort (N=73). A urine acid/base score was derived and calculated from urinary pH and [NH4
+]. Subclinical acidosis was defined as an acid/base score below the lower limit of the 95% prediction interval of healthy controls. The main outcomes were change in measured GFR after 18 months and CKD progression (defined as ≥50% decline in eGFR, initiation of long-term dialysis, or kidney transplantation) during up to 10 years of follow-up.

Results
Subclinical acidosis was prevalent in all cohorts (n=54/82, 48/73, and 40/58, respectively, approximately 67%). Subclinical acidosis was associated with an 18% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2 to 32) larger decrease of measured GFR after 18 months. During a median follow-up of 6 years, subclinical acidosis was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression. Adjusted hazard ratios were 9.88 (95% CI, 1.27 to 76.7) in the development cohort and 11.1 (95% CI, 2.88 to 42.5) in the validation cohort. The acid/base score had a higher predictive value for CKD progression than NH4
+ excretion alone.

Conclusions
Subclinical acidosis, defined by a new urine acid/base score, was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression in patients with CKD stage 3 and 4.
Los diccionarios en el mundo ELE: ayer, hoy y mañana (una reflexión desde la propia experiencia)
Authors: Maldonado González Concepción 
Published: July 2024

Two essential questions must be answered if we want to be successful when we work on a pedagogical lexicographical project specially designed to teach Spanish as a foreign language: Must foreign students consult a monolingual dictionary or a bilingual one? Why do lexicographers and teachers insist on the use of dictionary as a useful tool to learn Spanish over the long term, if users have always demanded the dictionary be a quick and effective way of solving immediate doubts? Only if we know with certainty the answer to these two questions, and only if we are prepared to assume that dictionaries also include digital versions, will we be able to deal with our task successfully.

Published: July 2024

Objetivo: explorar la posible asociación entre el riesgo de suicidio, depresión, consumo de psicoactivos y disfunción familiar en adolescentes escolarizados. Metodología: se administró una encuesta de autoaplicación a una muestra aleatoria de 779 adolescentes para evaluar el riesgo de suicidio, depresión, consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y disfunción familiar; se utilizaron los instrumentos ISO-30, CDI-LA, CIDI-II y Apgar familiar respectivamente. Para el análisis se empleó la técnica del método casos y controles.
Resultados: la prevalencia del riesgo de suicidio se situó entre 23,0% y 26,5%. La depresión y la disfunción familiar se asociaron positivamente con el riesgo de suicidio, con una razón de disparidad de 4,3 y 2,0 respectivamente. Conclusiones: los resultados muestran la magnitud de un problema que deben tener en cuenta las autoridades educativas, la administración municipal y los padres de familia. Es prioritario fortalecer los programas de detección de la depresión adolescente, como también exigir al Estado mejores tratamientos para depresión (no solo limitados al medicamento). Es necesario promover la estrategia de escuela de padres en instituciones educativas, hacer énfasis en temas referentes a la salud mental y resaltar la importancia en la comunicación, la cooperación, el afecto y el respeto entre los miembros de la familia.
