Purpose: Biofertilizers have gained recognition as a crucial element in integrated plant nutrient management, contributing to sustainable agriculture. Biofertilizers are natural products that contain living microorganisms capable of enhancing plant growth and improving soil fertility. This study aims to assess the impact of different biofertilizers on the growth of various varieties of wheat and barley. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of biofertilizers as an alternative to chemical fertilizers for promoting the growth of wheat and barley crops.
Methodology: The experiment involves treating multiple cultivars of wheat and barley with biofertilizers, while a control group is administered traditional chemical fertilizers for comparison. The growth parameters, including plant height, leaf area, root development, and yield, are carefully monitored and recorded throughout the experiment. The study is conducted under controlled environmental conditions to ensure consistency across all plant samples. Collected data is subjected to statistical analysis to determine any significant disparities in growth between the biofertilizer-treated group and the control group.
Findings: The utilization of biofertilizers resulted in remarkable growth improvements in the plants as opposed to conventional fertilizers. The plants treated with biofertilizers exhibited noticeable enhancements in various parameters, including increased plant height, expanded leaf area, elongated root length, and greater biomass accumulation. Among the different crop varieties, certain ones showcased a more pronounced response to biofertilizer treatments. Specifically, varieties W1 and W2 of wheat displayed the highest levels of growth enhancement when treated with biofertilizers, while barley varieties B1 and B2 showed significant improvements as well. Furthermore, the application of biofertilizers led to higher grain weight and increased yield per unit area in the crops compared to traditional fertilizers. Notably, the biofertilizer-treated crops also exhibited notable enhancements in quality attributes, such as improved nutritional content and reduced pesticide residues.
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: The utilization of biofertilizers demonstrated significant advantages over traditional fertilizers, resulting in improved plant growth, increased yield, and enhanced quality attributes in various crop varieties.
Considerações sobre a crise do sentido das universidades sob a gestão neoliberal
Authors: Furlong Antocevis Ana , Da Silva Machado Carlos Roberto 
Published: February 2024

Este artigo apresenta considerações críticas sobre a assunção de formas de gestão universitária alinhadas às premissas neoliberais, no contexto das Universidades federais brasileiras. Os processos de implantação (no período colonial), expansão (nos anos 1920 enquanto faculdades e depois Universidades nos anos 1930) e recuperação universitária (nos anos 2000) têm sido impactados pelo desenvolvimento político, social e econômico do País, marcando profundamente os sentidos e propósitos do Ensino Superior. Amparados na concepção de que o contexto universitário brasileiro tem sofrido o impacto do modelo de desenvolvimento nacional a partir do capitalismo dependente, consideramos também a base de constituição de classes sociais no Brasil e abordamos de que forma o acesso à Universidade influencia a conformação social nestes termos. Desta forma, apresentamos considerações a respeito da transformação do sentido de existências das Universidades - de social a tecnocrático -, refletindo sobre o impacto da absorção, pelas gestões universitárias, das prerrogativas de gestão neoliberal, a partir da apresentação de exemplos sobre essa questão em relação a políticas relacionadas ao cotidiano das Universidades, buscando contemplar políticas de planejamento e execução de nível tanto nacional como local. Para essa nossa análise foi utilizado o método de Revisão Narrativa. Concluímos criticamente, nesse sentido, sobre como a gestão universitária, através da assunção de prerrogativas neoliberais, tem sido palco de avanços do seu controle hegemônico pelos setores dominantes da elite brasileira, fenômeno que insta para a urgência da ampliação e aprofundamento de estudos e debates sobre o tema.

Background: Myopia, the most common refractive error, is a global public health problem with substantial visual impairment if left untreated. Several studies have investigated the association between increased near-work and restricted outdoor activities in children with myopia; however, such studies in children without myopia are scarce. We aimed to monitor the effect of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) home confinement and mandatory virtual learning on myopic progression among myopic and non-myopic school-aged children.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of children aged 6 – 12 years attending regular visits to the pediatric ophthalmology clinic in a tertiary eye hospital in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Cycloplegic refraction was determined from three visits at least six months apart: two visits before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and one during the COVID-19 home confinement. Parents were asked about the time spent in near-work and outdoor activities, the devices used during virtual learning, and the demographic characteristics of the children. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare myopia progression before and during the COVID-19 home confinement.
Results: A total of 160 eyes of 80 children were analyzed. The boy (n = 46) to girl (n = 34) ratio was 1.4:1. The hyperopia (n = 131 eyes) to myopia (n = 29 eyes) ratio was 4.5:1. Most eyes exhibited a hyperopic shift before the confinement; however, all eyes displayed a myopic shift during the confinement. When comparing both eyes of the same individual, the more myopic or less hyperopic eye in the same child had a significantly greater myopic shift than the fellow eye (both P < 0.05). Children who used tablets showed a significant myopic shift (P < 0.05). Likewise, children in both age categories (less than or equal to 8 and > 8 years), boys, those living in an apartment, and those having parents with bachelor’s degrees experienced a significant myopic shift during COVID-19 home confinement compared to before (all P < 0.05). The mean myopic shift was greater in children aged > 8 years than in those aged less than or equal to 8 years. Children with and without a family history of myopia had a myopic shift in the mean spherical equivalent during COVID-19 home confinement; however, that of children with no family history was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Progression of myopia accelerated in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Excessive time spent on digital screen devices at near distances is considered a substantial environmental contributor to myopic shift in children. Further multicenter studies with extended follow-up periods are needed to assess the factors contributing to myopic progression in our population.
Thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology: malignancy rate in the category of indeterminate significant atypia/indeterminate significant follicular lesion
Authors: Terzi Neslihan Kaya , Terzi Tolga 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND:
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a standard preoperative diagnostic modality for thyroid nodules. The Bethesda Thyroid Cytopathology Reporting System (TBSRTC) defines the FNAC atypia group as atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS).

OBJECTIVES:
Determine the risk of malignancy after surgical resection in patients with AUS/FLUS.

DESIGN:
Retrospective

SETTING:
Pathology department of a tertiary care center

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
All thyroid FNACs between 2015 and 2023 that were diagnosed as AUS/FLUS in Turkey. Patient demographics, preoperative ultrasonographic features, and follow-up data were collected.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Relationship between AUS/FLUS diagnosis and final histopathological diagnosis.

SAMPLE SIZE:
562

RESULTS:

In total, 562 thyroid nodules were diagnosed as AUS/FLUS, and 267 (47.5%) were surgically excised. A malignant histopathological diagnosis was given in 28 cases (10.4%). Malignancy risk sensitivity of AUS/FLUS diagnosis was 75.68% (95% CI=58.80–88.23%), specificity was 55.24% (95% CI=50.91–59.52%), positive predictive value was 10.49% (95% CI=8.71–12.58%), and negative predictive value was 97.04% (95% CI=94.86–98.31%). In the ultrasonographic data, having symptomatic nodules, nodule calcification, and irregular nodule borders were all statistically significant signs of cancer in a one-variable analysis (
P
<.01). The presence of a family history emerged as a statistically significant prognostic marker for malignancy (
P
=.012). Although not statistically significant, the malignancy rate for nodules with nuclear atypia was 11.9%, significantly higher than the rate of 8.3% for nodules with architectural atypia only (
P
=0.32).

CONCLUSIONS:
The diagnosis of AUS/FLUS has a high rate of predicting the risk of malignancy and should continue to be offered. In addition to cytopathological features, ultrasound data and family history should be taken into consideration when evaluating the case.

LIMITATIONS:
Retrospective design and no molecular studies.

Abstract. Critical infrastructure has a paramount role in socio-economic development, and its disruption can have dramatic consequences for human communities, including cascading impacts. Assessing critical-infrastructure exposure to multiple hazard is therefore of utmost importance for disaster risk reduction purposes. However, past efforts in exposure assessment have predominantly concentrated on residential buildings, often overlooking the unique characteristics of critical infrastructure. Knowing the location, type and characteristics of critical infrastructure is particularly challenging due to the overall scarcity of data and difficulty of interacting with local stakeholders. We propose a method to assess exposure of selected critical infrastructure and demonstrate it for Central Asia, a region prone to multiple hazards (e.g., floods, earthquakes, landslides). We develop the first regionally consistent exposure database for selected critical infrastructure and asset types (namely, non-residential buildings, transportation and croplands), assembling the available global and regional datasets together with country-based information provided by local authorities and research groups, including reconstruction costs. The method addresses the main known challenges related to exposure assessment of critical infrastructure (i.e., data scarcity, difficulties in interacting with local stakeholders) by collecting national-scale data with the help of local research groups. The analysis also includes country-based reconstruction costs, supporting regional-scale disaster risk reduction strategies that include the financial aspect.

Authors: Жолдошов Мирланбек Куштаралиевич 
Published: February 2024

В данной статье исследуются основные особенности доказательств и процесса доказывания в международном коммерческом арбитраже. Вопрос представления доказательств, продолжает оставаться дискуссионной темой, широко обсуждаемой в ученом сообществе. Взгляды на эти проблемы у специалистов в значительной степени определяются их юридическим образованием и традициями правовой системы государства, в котором они практикуют. В отчие от национальных законодательств государств в международном коммерческом арбитраже отсутствуют четкие и обязательные для сторон нормы о процедуре доказывания, что позволяет сторонам самостоятельно выбирать правила, в рамках которых проводится процесс. Так же исследование затрагивает актуальные проблемы развития института доказывания и основные тенденции данного процесса, сложившиеся в настоящее время.
Parental Perceptions of STEAM Education of Early Childhood Education for Social Development:A Case of St. Joseph Kindergarten Asmara Eritrea

Published: February 2024

In the twenty-first century, parents face the most intense competition in raising gifted kids with high STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) quality who are prepared to take on difficulties, and kindergarten is the foundation for this holistic life of the child. However, there can be no meaningful social development without parental involvement in the child's STEAM education. The current study examines how parents view STEAM education for young children in Asmara, Eritrea's St. Joseph STEAM-integrated kindergarten to ensure healthy social development. The study used mixed techniques to identify parents' perspectives toward STEAM education and how it affects their kindergarteners' academic and social/emotional growth. It also investigated the barriers that prevent parents from becoming involved in their children's education. The quantitative data was gathered from thirty parents (n=30). On the other hand, semi-structured interviews with fifteen parents involved them. The results showed that in the kindergarten used in the case study, parents were seen as being involved at home and paying for the child's transportation and school expenses. Furthermore, it was discovered that parents encourage their kids' social and emotional growth. In addition, the study discovered a few characteristics that influence parents' perceptions of STEAM education in kindergarten, including a lack of STEAM education knowledge and awareness, a lack of time for a child's follow-up, low parental income, low educational attainment, and a lack of someone to watch the other kids. Furthermore, the current study recommends further research that incorporates various types of kindergartens with different parents to enrich the data on parental perception of STEAM education in Eritrea.
Corioangioma e seguimento clínico em uma maternidade terciária do estado do Ceará – relato de caso
Authors: Dias Luise Vasconcelos Paula Pessoa , Santos Emerson Batista da Silva , Vela Henry Wong 
Published: February 2024

O corioangioma é o tumor vascular não trofoblástico mais comum da placenta, com incidência estimada em 1%. Embora sua etiologia precisa não tenha sido completamente elucidada, acredita-se que seja o resultado da proliferação anormal de vasos em vários estágios de diferenciação no estroma fibroso decorrente do tecido coriônico. (7) Mesmo quando detectados, os pequenos corioangiomas tendem a ser assintomáticos e não complicam a progressão da gestação. Considera-se um corioangioma gigante quando apresenta diâmetro maior que 4 a 5 cm. Estes são diagnosticados em imagens de ultrassonografia e estima-se que a taxa de prevalência varie de 1 caso para 9 mil a 50 mil gestações a depender da população. À ultrassonografia, se apresenta como um tumor oval ou arredondado, liso e hipoecoico que se projeta na cavidade amniótica. Corioangiomas gigantes, especialmente aqueles localizados adjacentes à inserção do cordão na placenta, têm sido associados a aumento significativo de graves complicações gestacionais. (2) Neste trabalho, foram avaliados métodos de rastreio, diagnóstico e seguimento do corioangioma gigante e suas complicações, incluindo tratamento e acompanhamento fetal e materno durante a gestação.
