Authors: Sviridenko G. M. , Komarova T. V. , Uskova E. E. 
Published: January 2023

The article presents the results of studies of the composition of the residual microflora of pasteurized milk, depending on the bacterial landscape and the initial contamination of raw milk. The thermal stability of test cultures of microorganisms that significantly affect the quality and storage capacity of fermented dairy products has been studied. To study the composition of the residual microflora of milk after pasteurization, sterile milk was infected with test cultures of microorganisms at doses from 101 CFU/cm3 to 107 CFU/cm3. After infection, the milk was pasteurized at temperatures of (72 ± 1) °C and (80 ± 1) °C with a holding time of 10–20 seconds. The detection and enumeration of microorganisms was carried out by standardized microbiological methods. Microorganisms were identified by visual assessment of dominant colonies and cell morphology in micropreparations. The thermal stability of microorganisms important for dairy products, in particular cheeses, the source of which is raw milk, has been studied. It has been established that of the coccal forms, the greatest risks are associated with enterococci. Escherichia coli at infection doses above 106 CFU/cm3 partially retains viability both at low-temperature and at high-temperature pasteurization. Pasteurization temperatures do not have a lethal effect on spore bacilli, their number in pasteurized milk does not decrease, regardless of the initial dose of infection. Low-temperature pasteurization activates the process of clostridial spore germination. The ability to reactivate cells after thermal shock was observed in Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, and mold fungi. Thus, the residual microflora of milk subjected to low-temperature pasteurization is represented by enterococci, thermophilic streptococci, micrococci, staphylococci, asporogenous bacilli and spore bacteria. The above microorganisms constitute the residual microflora of pasteurized milk and are involved in the maturation of cheeses, determining their quality and safety, [as well as] affecting the storage capacity of the finished product.
Palladium-Catalyzed C-N Coupling in the Synthesis of Benzodiazepines
Authors: Grewal Pooja , Kaur Navjeet 
Published: January 2023

Abstract:
This review article is focused on the reactions, which include the syntheses of various classes of benzodiazepines in the presence of a Pd catalyst. The catalyst used here belongs to the transition metal group and nowadays, there is keen interest in numerous methods for the coupling reaction in the presence of a catalyst to prepare the biologically active heterocyclic compounds. In particular, the use of domino reactions as inter- or intramolecular processes is reported as an efficient and eco-compatible tool to obtain differently functionalized benzodiazepines. 2,3-benzodiazepines having pharmaceutical interest are synthesized via asymmetric catalysis. The catalyst used in this synthesis is palladium-chiral bidentate phosphine complex and thiazolium-derived carbine. The 1,3-benzodiazepines are prepared by A3 coupling. In this reaction, the propargylamine was first added to the isocyanates. After that, hydroxylation of alkyne occurs in the presence of a Pd catalyst in a one-pot manner to yield the 1,3-benzodiazepines.

Published: January 2023

Abstract:In the present study, we have introduced an efficient solvent-free protocol for the synthesis of glycosyl annulated phosphorylated/thiophosphorylated 1,2,3-triazole derivatives using reusable CuFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst with the protocols of popular click chemistry approach. Quantum chemical calculations of all the reactants and products have been calculated using density functional theory with Spartan-18 software. In addition, the molecular docking studies of all the glycosyl annulated phosphorylated/thiophosphorylated 1,2,3- triazole derivatives have been studied as effective fungicides against CaCYP51 (PDB ID 5EQB), protein of P. infestans effector target site (PDB ID: 2NAR), and SsCYP51(PDB code: 6CR2) using Autodock Vina and Discovery Studio software. Among the three different proteins, the binding energies of the compounds (5a-d) with CaCYP51 (PDB ID 5EQB) have shown better results in the range of 7.0 to 7.4 kcal/mol. Hence, these compounds may be used as strong fungicides for the inhibition of CaCYP51 (PDB ID 5EQB). In conclusion, the synthesized compounds may be better useful in agrochemical applications as vital fungicides.

Published: January 2023

Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic strained many aspects of daily life, and the propensity of the virus to spread rapidly affected the world, bringing both stress and psychological health problems throughout the world. This study aims to investigate the level of psychological issues and problems among the population during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methodology:
This was a repeated cross-sectional study (N = 650) made of Pre-Pandemic (n = 338) and During-Pandemic COVID-19 (n = 312) samples conducted in Dardania (Kosovo) municipalities of Prishtina, Prizren, Ferizaj, Gjilan, Gjakova, Peja, Podujeva, Suhareka, Mitrovica, and Vushtrri. The study used both the Demographic Questionnaire and the General Health Questionnaire 28.

Results:
There was a significant difference between the two samples in psychological health problems in general (p = .001), as well as depression (p = .001), social dysfunction (p = .001), somatization (p = .001), anxiety and insomnia (p = .001) in particular. Furthermore, Chi-square analysis showed a very large effect size for participants’ reported accidents, natural disasters, losing a loved one, chronic illnesses, displacement, Domestic violence, imprisonment, and especially divorce.

Conclusion:
The COVID-19 pandemic increased psychological health problems, and there is a need for the mobilization of psychological health experts to support and decrease the level of risk in the population in future times.

Published: January 2023

Background
A healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a healthy diet, is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of chronic diseases. eHealth interventions that incorporate behavior change techniques (BCTs) and dynamic tailoring strategies could effectively support a healthy lifestyle. E-Supporter 1.0 is an eCoach designed to support physical activity and a healthy diet in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective
This paper aimed to describe the systematic development of E-Supporter 1.0.

Methods
Our systematic design process consisted of 3 phases. The definition phase included the selection of the target group and formulation of intervention objectives, and the identification of behavioral determinants based on which BCTs were selected to apply in the intervention. In the development phase, intervention content was developed by specifying tailoring variables, intervention options, and decision rules. In the last phase, E-Supporter 1.0 integrated in the Diameter app was evaluated using a usability test in 9 people with T2D to assess intervention usage and acceptability.

Results
The main intervention objectives were to stimulate light to moderate-vigorous physical activities or adherence to the Dutch dietary guidelines in people with T2D. The selection of behavioral determinants was informed by the health action process approach and theories explaining behavior maintenance. BCTs were included to address relevant behavioral determinants (eg, action control, self-efficacy, and coping planning). Development of the intervention resulted in 3 types of intervention options, consisting of motivational messages, behavioral feedback, and tailor-made supportive exercises. On the basis of IF-THEN rules, intervention options could be tailored to, among others, type of behavioral goal and (barriers to) goal achievement. Data on these variables could be collected using app data, activity tracker data, and daily ecological momentary assessments. Usability testing revealed that user experiences were predominantly positive, despite some problems in the fixed delivery of content.

Conclusions
The systematic development approach resulted in a theory-based and dynamically tailored eCoach. Future work should focus on expanding intervention content to other chronic diseases and lifestyle behaviors, enhancing the degree of tailoring and evaluating intervention effects on acceptability, use, and cost-effectiveness.

Published: January 2023

Background
The National Center for PTSD, within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has developed a suite of free, publicly available, evidence-informed apps that can reach an increasing number of veterans and bridge gaps in care by providing resources to those who are not engaged in mental health treatment. To expand the reach of these apps, staff across VA service lines learned about these apps, their features and limitations, and how to introduce them to veterans.

Objective
This study aimed to develop, disseminate, and evaluate a training for multidisciplinary staff as part of a national quality improvement project to increase the reach of mobile mental health apps as a resource for veterans.

Methods
Sites from all of VA’s 18 geographic regions enrolled in this project. At each site, a minimum of 25 VA staff members who had direct contact with veterans, including staff from the mental health service line and all other service lines, were recruited to participate. Training included a 3-hour multidisciplinary core module, and a 1-hour clinical integration module designed specifically for mental health clinicians. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trainings were adapted to a live, web-based format. Pre- and posttraining surveys assessed program reach (ie, participants enrolled per site), satisfaction, and effectiveness of the training as measured by changes in knowledge, basic skills, and behavioral intentions to use apps with veterans.

Results
A total of 1110 participants representing 34 disciplines at 19 VA sites completed the training. Overall, 67% (743/1109) of participants were mental health staff members. Sites averaged 58.4 participants (SD 36.49, median [IQR] 51). Most (961/1024, 93.85%) participants were satisfied with the training and reported that they (941/1018, 92.44%) would recommend it to others. App knowledge scores significantly increased from pretraining (mean 80.8% correct, SD 15.77%) to posttraining (mean 91.1% correct, SD 9.57%; P<.001). At posttraining, participants also reported greater confidence in their ability to show veterans how to download (z=−13.86; P<.001) and use VA mental health apps (z=−15.13; P<.001). There was near universal endorsement by staff for their intentions to recommend apps to veterans as well as their ability to think of at least one specific veteran to whom they could recommend an app. Staff also reported a strong motivation to encourage other VA staff to share apps with veterans.

Conclusions
The training far exceeded the initial goals for staff recruitment and training for all three metrics. Overall, 33% (366/1109) of participants came from service lines outside of mental health, indicating the feasibility of introducing these mental health resources during medical appointments and in other contexts.
REVIEW: REMOÇÃO DE PARABENOS POR PROCESSO DE OZONIZAÇÃO
Authors: Machulek Junior Amilcar , Canatto Antonio Kaique , Silva de Brito Diego Aparecido , Ribeiro Maria Lucia 
Published: January 2023

A presença de parabenos e outros compostos emergentes nas águas residuárias é uma realidade que deve ser estudada e discutida por entidades físicas, jurídicas e de pesquisa na área ambiental e do saneamento, frente aos seus potenciais riscos à saúde humana e aos ecossistemas naturais. A compreensão sobre esses novos poluentes é necessária para o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento de tecnologias de tratamento eficazes, já que os processos atuais não são capazes de remove-los. Pesquisadores de todo mundo estudam e apostam nos Processos Oxidativos Avançados (POAs), como a Ozonização, como uma dessas soluções. Como qualquer outro processo de remediação, deve-se considerar parâmetros operacionais importantes, como os efeitos do pH, doses de ozônio, tempo de reação e adição de agentes oxidantes, catalisadores e irradiação UV, tendo vista que o processo de ozonização simples apresenta baixas taxas de mineralização devido a geração de compostos orgânicos refratários à ação do ozônio, os quais serão tema desse estudo.
Forgiveness and Grief Symptoms in Women After Perinatal Loss
Authors: Lākute Inta , Upmane Anda 
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between aspects of forgiveness, grief symptoms and bereavement in women after perinatal loss. In addition, to explore to what extent forgiveness and bereavement aspects predict grief symptoms. Participating in the study were 440 women, aged between 20 to 45 years, (M = 33,2). They completed the Heartland Forgiveness scale (Thompson & Snyder, 2003), adapted by Vendija Balode (Balode, 2017) and the Traumatic Grief Inventory (Self-Report Version, Boelen, & Smid, 2017), which was adapted as a part of this study. The results of research showed that there were negative relationships between forgiveness and grief symptoms. Bereavement aspects, such as the severity of the perceived bereavement, experienced bonding with the lost baby, and the time since the loss were positive predictors of grief symptom, whereas forgiveness in general, having received psychological assistance and overcoming the perceived loss, were negative predictors of the symptoms of grief.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this study was to examine reported changes in children’s behaviour after the children, parents and teachers had participated in the modified early intervention program “STOP 4–7”, which has been developed for children 4 to 7 years old. The aim was also to examine if there are changes in the parents’ parenting behaviour, and if there are differences in the degree of behavioural change ratings between the original and modified “STOP 4–7” groups. For purposes of this study 31 children participated in the first group and 48 children in the second group, as well as at least one of the child’s parents and their teacher. Before and after participation in the program, one of the child’s parents and their teacher completed questionnaires about the child’s behaviour. Parents also completed the Ghent Parental Behaviour Scale. Results show that after participation in the program, in both groups there was a decrease in the child’s externalizing behaviour problems, according to both the parents’ and teachers’ report. After participation in the modified program there was an increase in the parents’ report of discipline strategies and material reward ratings.
Profiles of cognitive ability domains in children with and without ADHD symptoms
Authors: Skara Dana , Vanags Edmunds 
Published: January 2023

Studies to date have most often compared the mean scores of an ADHD and control group to see if there are differences between them. Various cluster or linear data processing methods have also been used in studies to group children into certain subgroups according to various characteristics, but so far we have not found any study that has succeeded in dividing both ADHD and control group children into such subgroups. Results vary from study to study. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the heterogeneity of different cognitive ability domains in children with and without ADHD symptoms with qualitative data analysis methods - creating unique profiles of cognitive ability domains for each child. In this study participated 76 children aged 8–13 and were divided into two groups: ADHD group – 46 children (M = 10.08; SD = 1.67), control group – 30 children (M = 9.41; SD = 1.60). Four methods were used to calculate cognitive ability domain scores: Stroop’s Word and Color Test, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Digit Span Test, and Continuous Performance Test. The analysis of the profiles revealed a wide heterogeneity in both groups. Also, it was observed in these profiles that children with ADHD experience had more pronounced difficulties in cognitive ability domains compared to the control group. At the same time, it can be concluded that not all children with ADHD experience them. Comparing profiles of children from either of these two groups it can be concluded that some of the children with ADHD symptoms have profiles similar to typically developing children.
Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting as an Important Communication Tool: Some Evidence from Latvia
Authors: Medne Ilze , Ņikadimovs Oļegs 
Published: January 2023

The relevance and importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have long been recognised in the business sector. Firms, communities, and individuals must shift their perspectives on CSR from voluntary actions to almost obligatory initiatives, especially in terms of corporate communications. This study aims to review the corporate sustainability framework from the perspective of CSR reporting and communication with some evidence from Latvia. The study has used secondary qualitative research methods, reviewing previously published scholarly literature and studies on the selected topic. Environmental impact and measures, society benefits and economic gains are the most important parts of CSR reporting, internal and external communication. In light of the recently experienced environmental, societal and economic challenges, this study advocates concentrating on CSR reporting and increased inquiry into the role of building efficient communication with relevant stakeholder groups – selecting the right channels, frameworks and report verification tools, to improve transparency and credibility. Researchers and practitioners must consider the role of CSR communication in a broader context, given the difficulties connected with economic, environmental and societal challenges, as good communication is critical for mobilisation and deciding on goals through consensus.
Latvian-Lithuanian Economic Relations 1918–1940
Authors: Karnups Viesturs Pauls 
Published: January 2023

This paper provides an overview of Latvian-Lithuanian economic relations in the interwar period. In the interwar period, economic relations between Latvia and Lithuania were mainly confined to foreign trade, although there were some investments in Latvia from Lithuania, as well as tourism. Latvia’s foreign trade in relation to Lithuania was regulated by a number of trade treaties and agreements entered into in 1930, 1933, 1935, and 1936. Latvia’s main imports from Lithuania in the interwar period were horses, seed flax, cattle, pigs and piglets, and timber and timber products, whilst Latvia’s main exports to Lithuania were coal, machinery (agricultural and industrial), paper, timber and timber products, rubber goods (including galoshes), cement, as well as radios. In general, trade and thus economic relations were of marginal significance to both countries in the interwar period due mainly to similarities in their agriculturally based economic structures.

Authors: Sloka Biruta , Angena Anna 
Published: January 2023

Health self-evaluations are aspects analysed by researchers world-wide as from self-evaluation depend many aspects of person’s feelings, satisfaction with life and motivation for active life. Researchers have identified that often health self-evaluation is better than reality and the person achieves many goals in their life even with not so good health, and there are many cases when the health self-evaluation is good, but reality is much worse. Comparative data analysis on health self-evaluations in EU countries, EEA countries and EU candidate countries are carried out in EU-SILC. The aim of this article is to investigate – do health self-evaluations differ statistically significant by inhabitants of Latvia in urban areas and in rural areas. Research methods applied: scientific publications analysis, analysis of data obtained in EU-SILC survey using different statistical indicators: indicators of descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations, statistical hypotheses test with t-test on equalities of arithmetic means. Results indicate that although the health self-assessment by inhabitants are higher in rural areas in Latvia in comparison with urban health self-assessment by inhabitants, the difference on averages of those evaluations is not statistically different with significance level 0.001.
