Why does Listeria monocytogenes survive in food and food-production environments?
Authors: Osek Jacek , Wieczorek Kinga 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most dangerous food-borne pathogens and is responsible for human listeriosis, a severe disease with a high mortality rate, especially among the elderly, pregnant women and newborns. Therefore, this bacterium has an important impact on food safety and public health. It is able to survive and even grow in a temperature range from -0.4°C to 45°C, a broad pH range from 4.6 to 9.5 and at a relatively low water activity (aW < 0.90), and tolerates salt content up to 20%. It is also resistant to ultraviolet light, biocides and heavy metals and forms biofilm structures on a variety of surfaces in food-production environments. These features make it difficult to remove and allow it to persist for a long time, increasing the risk of contamination of food-production facilities and ultimately of food. In the present review, the key mechanisms of the pathogen’s survival and stress adaptation have been presented. This information may grant better understanding of bacterial adaptation to food environmental conditions.
Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Savings: Switch from Electricity Production to Biomethane. Case Study
Authors: Terjanika Viktorija , Sanchez Valdespino Angelica Araceli , Pubule Jelena 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Greenhouse gases are mainly comprised of carbon dioxide. In 2021, anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the atmosphere have risen to 37.9 Gt, a 60 % increase from the levels observed in 1990. The production of high-value products using CO2 can contribute to decreasing atmospheric CO2 levels and advancing the objectives of the Green Deal. In Latvia, biofuel–biomethane production may also present a viable solution. Diversifying the energy sector, which can benefit the country's economy, is another advantage of this scenario. The study examines the transformation of a Latvian biogas production facility, which shifts towards producing biomethane as its final product. The study also involves the computation of greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from utilizing biomethane instead of biogas in the network.
Transitive and Intransitive Selection Processes and Their Effects
Authors: Donason Addy D. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Karen Neander’s (1991a, b) Selected Effects (SE) theory of biological proper functions argues that the function of a trait is the action for which it was “caused” to be selected by natural selection. Her life’s work has already left a lasting impact, however SE theory has yet to be more properly formalized as a conceptual analysis of biological functions. Although other SE theories have sought to build upon Neander’s work (e.g., Garson, 2017), there remains an ambiguity in the theory’s use of causal descriptors. For the success of her successors, delineating the function of causality for SE theory is of utmost importance. Here, I systematize Neander’s theory according to the different senses of causation inherent to it. I argue that structuring SE theory in terms of causal transitivity and intransitivity reveals that Neander’s analysis not only supersedes her detractors but likely exposes areas of vulnerability in others’ SE theory derivatives.
Paradigm Shift in the Representation of Women in Anglo-American Paremiology – A Cognitive Semantics Perspective
Authors: Kochman-Haładyj Bożena , Kiełtyka Robert 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The present paper, adopting some of the tools offered by Cognitive Linguistics, namely the mechanisms of conceptual metaphor and metonymy, is a qualitative study of a sociolinguistic nature. Its overall purpose is an attempt at exhibiting a paradigm shift in the representation of women in Anglo-American proverbs. Combining the potential of the cross-fertilisation between Cognitive Linguistics and paremiological studies, the study appertains to the sense-threads embedded in the figurative language of proverbs, with the main focus on a cognitive semantic analysis of selected Anglo-American paremias directed towards women and animals. The main goal of the research is the juxtaposition of the meaning coded in two proverbs of traditional status, as representatives of a larger group of paremiological units (i.e. A woman, a cat, and a chimney should never leave the house; A whistling girl and a crowing hen always come to no good end), reflecting the deep-rooted gender-biased ideology in patriarchal Anglo-American society, with the content of the selected anti-proverb (i.e. The early bird gets up to serve his wife breakfast in bed) and a contemporary proverb (i.e. A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle), serving as sample evidence of the heralds of a paradigm shift in the issue of gender stereotyping stored in paremiological wisdom. The paper shows that the motivation behind the use of the analysed proverbs is to be accounted for by reference to the mechanism of metaphor-metonymy interaction, while the rise of new gender-related proverbs can be regarded as a sign of socio-cultural changes. Specifically, through the medium of modern paremiology, asymmetrical representation of male and female gender, coupled with traditional masculine and feminine characteristics as well as social roles, appears if not endangered then, at least, to be taking a promising path.

Drawn from Nature: Wallpaper patterns in New Zealand's Schools of Art and Design
Authors: Forster-Garbutt Eva 
Published: December 2023

Schools of art and design were established in New Zealand from 1870 to foster the development of technical skills in the trades and the creative and decorative arts. These schools flourished throughout the latter two decades of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century. Informed by the teachings of the South Kensington School in England, students in New Zealand were instructed in the design of patterns for interior finishes, such as wallpapers, tiles, linoleum and textiles. The blossoming Arts and Crafts movement not only guided the teaching models of these schools, but encouraged students to explore the graphic possibilities of flora and fauna, which in the New Zealand context resulted in original decorative patterns with native motifs.
This paper will explore the design of wallpaper patterns by students at the New Zealand schools of art, focusing on those produced between the mid-1880s and the late 1890s. The influence and inspiration for these patterns will be traced, from the Arts and Crafts movement, the teaching methods at schools of art and design, to the natural New Zealand environment.

Bridging a transnational mother-daughter's relationship through a memoir
Authors: Putri Widyarini Susilo , McDermott Sinead 
Published: December 2023

Bridging the past and present in a family is challenging, particularly if they grow up in a different culture. The hassle of life occupies most people's minds, which leads to abandoning one of the most fundamental kinships, the mother-daughter relationship. This phenomenon appears in a literary work written by Amy Tan entitled The Bonesetter's Daughter, where the protagonist acts apathetic toward her mother's willingness to preserve their family's lineage through a handwritten memoir.Reading the literary work through the lens of Memory Studies helps to understand the mother's unpleasant to hostile behaviours in the protagonist's upbringing; besides her harsh past that caused it, the daughter's obliviousness toward her mother's wishes in getting to know about her real grandmother and the history of their family heightened her disappointment. As an Asian, family ties serve as a vital source of identity and safeguard against life's challenges, and the bond is severed more due to the different communication styles.Realising the importance of reading the forgotten memoir written by her mother became the turning point of their relationship. By willingly reading the mother's memory, finally, the daughter creates a long-wished family connection.

La duda razonable y la presunción de inocencia ante el debido proceso en el sistema acusatorio en México
Authors: Osorio-Fernández Queeney Rose 
Published: December 2023

El concepto de la duda razonable posee diversas vertientes que deben considerarse y analizarse para comprender su rol en el sistema acusatorio penal en México; asimismo, se encuentra fuertemente relacionado a dos principios jurídicos: el de presunción de inocencia y el in dubio pro reo, el cual indica que, si el juez o tribunal tienen dudas sobre la culpabilidad de un acusado tras valorar las pruebas disponibles, la sentencia o decisión judicial debe favorecerlo. Se puede traducir como “en caso de duda, a favor del reo”.

Alguna vez hemos escuchado el término “enfermedad de Chagas (EC)”, sin embargo, la mayoría de nosotros no hacemos caso sobre el asunto. Excepto por algunas frases que se han convertido en la ventana de entrada de información para ésta: “qué curioso animal, le llaman chinche besucona”, “¿un parásito es algo que se alimenta de mí?”, “no puede ser tan grave que me pique un animal así (haciendo referencia al vector que la causa)”, entre otras. Por cierto, es importante recordar que el término “vector” hace referencia a cualquier agente que transporta y transmite, en este caso, el parásito que la ocasiona (Rassi Jr. et al., 2010).

Published: December 2023

This research focuses on the development of hardware and software required to implement optical sensor technology. The optical sensor used is the MAX30102, equipped with infrared (IR) and red-light sources along with a receiver. The signals generated by the sensor are processed by NodeMCU and displayed on the OLED. The calibration results indicate the relationship between hemoglobin obtained using the invasive method and the output of the MAX30102 sensor, which is in the form of wavelength. It has the equation with an value of 0.9114. This equation is utilized to program the NodeMCU through the Arduino IDE. Validation and clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate its accuracy and applicability in clinical contexts. The results show that the non-invasive device has an average standard deviation of 0.32, indicating consistent measurement values. The non-invasive device demonstrates an average accuracy of 99.24%, signifying high precision and similarity to invasive methods. This suggests that the device holds potential as an innovative solution for Hemoglobin measurement.

Published: December 2023

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease distributed worldwide and dominantly related to different types of diseases especially microbial infections, this study aimed to find the relationship between DM mouth microbiome and some demographic factors. Sixty saliva specimens and bacterial oral swabs were collected from randomly selected DM patients, including 29 females and 31 males enrolled in this study, which was obtained from the Al-Mustansiriya University national diabetes center in Baghdad, and other 40 apparently healthy people specimens and swabs were collected from 25 females and 15 males as a control group for the period starting November / 2021 to February / 2022. The results revealed that the most prevalent bacterial genera in the patients' group were Staphylococcus spp. 57(38.26%), Enterobacteriaceae spp. 55(36.91%), Pseudomonas spp. 13(8.72%), Streptococcus spp. and Acinetobacter spp. each was 8(5.37%), and then, Corynebacterium spp. 5(3.36%), and each Neisseria spp., and H. influenza were 2(1.34%). These percentages were significantly different from those in the control group which were Staphylococcus spp. 33(43.4%)(S. aureus 34.21% and S. epidermidis 9.22%), Enterobacteriaceae spp. 32(42.11%), Bacillus spp. 4(5.2%), Acinetobacter spp. 3(3.9%), and each Pseudomonas spp. and Streptococcus spp. were 2(2.7%). In the same context, the results showed there is no significant difference between smokers for patients /control which were 25(17%)/15(19.74%), as well as, non-smokers 105 (71.43%) / 55 (72.37%) and ex-smoking 17(11.57%)/6(7.89%) in bacterial isolates foundation in the oral cavity of DM patients and control. Acidic oral pH is the predominant pH among patients and control individuals, in spite of there being no significant differences among different oral pH levels. As well as the results revealed that gender does not affect the types of the oral microbiome.

Published: December 2023

Narcissus tazetta, a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, is known to be rich in bioactive metabolites such as alkaloids, phenolics and flavonoids, which have been found in nearly every species in this family. N. tazetta cultivated in Iraq, had not previously been studied for its active components; thus, the current study used phytochemical screening and phenolic compounds estimation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Results showed that the plant alcoholic extract was rich in alkaloids, polyphenols and flavonoids besides tannins, polysaccharides and saponins. Qualitatively; TLC and HPLC chromatogram for total phenolics and flavonoids compounds revealed the presence of Gallic acid (GA), Caffeic acid (CA), Paracumarin acid (P-c), Chlorogenic acid (Ch), Catechin (Ca), Hydroqunolinon (H) with more abundant content in Vanillic and Salycilic acids as phenolic compounds; beside, Rutin (R), Quercetin (Q), Apegenin (Ap), Luetolin (L), and Kaempferol (K) as flavonoids. Dried bulbs of N. tazetta contain total phenolic compounds reached 90 mg/g and total flavonoids in a quantity of 0.47 mg/g. Plant bulb analyzed by colorimetric reaction assay.
Antibiotic-Associated Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Critically Ill Children: A Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Vlasova A. V. , Shubina Yu. F. , Sychev D. A. 
Published: December 2023

INTRODUCTION. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is associated, among other things, with the use of antibiotics. Children with DILI are at risk of acute liver failure and even death. However, the literature on the subject provides little information on the possibility of distinguishing the types of hepatic lesions to diagnose potentially life-threatening DILI in time.AIM. The study aimed to describe the phenotype of new-onset DILI associated with antibiotics in critically ill children with nosocomial infection.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The authors conducted a prospective observational study in the resuscitation and intensive care units of the Morozov Children’s City Clinical Hospital from 1 February 2020 to 1 September 2021. The study assessed the incidence of antibiotic-associated DILI using the Global Trigger Tool. The study enrolled 100 critically ill children aged 0 to 17 years (44 boys and 56 girls) with nosocomial infection.RESULTS. Signs of hepatotoxicity were detected in 19 patients, including 8 with abnormal liver function tests but normal liver function and 11 with abnormal liver function tests and clinically apparent liver disease. Thus, the incidence of new-onset hepatotoxicity associated with antibiotics amounted to 12.9 cases per 100,000 paediatric patients, and the incidence of DILI was 7.5 cases per 100,000 children. Based on the analysis of medical records, biochemical findings, and relationships between the time of dosing and the manifestation of signs of liver disorder in 11 children, the authors characterised the phenotype of idiosyncratic cholestatic hepatitis. Critically ill children treated with antibiotics showed alanine transaminase activity up to 10 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin levels up to 4.45 times the ULN, and gamma-glutamyl transferase activity up to 5 times the ULN. The odds of developing new-onset DILI were the highest with tigecycline (OR: 4.07; 95% CI: 1.32–12.50) and meropenem (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.01–3.36). In 6 patients, clinical signs of idiosyncratic cholestatic hepatitis resolved within a few weeks after antibiotic discontinuation. The other 5 patients with clinical signs of idiosyncratic cholestatic hepatitis died.CONCLUSIONS. The authors described the phenotype of idiosyncratic cholestatic liver injury associated with antibiotics in critically ill children. The role of pharmacogenetic markers in the development of DILI associated with antibiotics in critically ill children needs to be assessed further to implement a risk-based approach and mitigate the risks.The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under No. NCT04141657 on 24 October 2019.
Introducing next-generation transcranial surgery with the head-mounted 3D View Vision display in extracorporeal microsurgery: illustrative cases
Authors: Kim Young Ju , Kimura Hidehito , Kajimoto Hiroto , Mori Tatsuya , Maeyama Masahiro , Tanaka Kazuhiro , Sasayama Takashi 
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND
Exoscopy in neurosurgery offers various advantages, including increased freedom of the viewing axis while the surgeon maintains a comfortable upright position. However, the optimal monitor positioning to avoid interference with surgical manipulation remains unresolved. Herein, the authors describe two cases in which a three-dimensional head-mounted display (3D-HMD) was introduced into a transcranial neurosurgical procedure using an exoscope.

OBSERVATIONS
Case 1 was a 50-year-old man who presented with recurrent epistaxis and was diagnosed with an olfactory neuroblastoma that extended from the nasal cavity to the anterior cranial base and infiltrated the right anterior cranial fossa. Case 2 was a 65-year-old man who presented with epistaxis and was diagnosed with a left-sided olfactory neuroblastoma. In both cases, en bloc tumor resection was successfully performed via a simultaneous exoscopic transcranial approach using a 3D-HMD and an endoscopic endonasal approach, eliminating the need to watch a large monitor beside the patient.

LESSONS
This is the first report of using a 3D-HMD in transcranial surgery. The 3D-HMD effectively addressed issues with the field of vision and concentration while preserving the effectiveness of traditional microscopic and exoscopic procedures when observed on a 3D monitor. Combining the 3D-HMD with an exoscope holds the potential to become a next-generation surgical approach.
