Published: May 2023

Abstract
A six-week study was conducted to evaluate the effects of partial replacement of maize with Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) root meal on the haematological parameters and serum biochemistry of broiler chickens at finisher phase. One hundred and eight (108) day old broiler chicks were randomly allotted into 4 dietary treatments (T1, T2, T3 and T4) with 3 replicates each and 9 birds per replicate. The test ingredient, OFSP root meal was included in broiler finisher diets as replacement for maize at 0%, 6%, 12% and 18% in the dietary treatments respectively. The study revealed no effect on all the haematological parameters. The result of the serum biochemistry also showed no significant differences (P>0.05) on all the parameters measured with the exception of triglycerides, globulin and blood urea nitrogen with significant decrease in the triglycerides (mg/dl) and globulin (g/dl) content of T2(24.80 and 0.37), T3(47.01 and 1.07) and T4(48.50 and 1.41) respectively as compared with the control group (61.54 and 1.95 respectively). Therefore, inclusion of OFSP root meal up to 18% did not negatively affect the haematological parameters of the birds and also reduced the risk of metabolic diseases in the birds while improving the cardiovascular health of the birds.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The paper investigated the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of poplar buds (Populus nigra L.), turmeric (Curcuma longa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts. Proximate composition, total polyphenols, ß-carotene, vitamin E, minerals and antioxidant capacity were tested for all selected plants. The proximate analysis of selected plants showed that poplar buds had a higher content of crude protein, fat and fiber than turmeric and ginger. The extract of poplar buds had a significantly higher content of total polyphenols (87.20 mg of gallic acid/g) and vitamin E (210.53 μg/g) than in the extract of turmeric and ginger. The polyphenol content was found to be in the order: poplar buds>turmeric> ginger. The beta carotene content was significantly higher in poplar buds (2.99 μg/g) than in turmeric (1.67 μg/g). Regarding mineral content, turmeric showed the highest content in iron and copper; ginger showed the highest content in manganese and poplar buds had the highest content in zinc. Moreover, poplar buds possessed the highest antioxidant capacity both on vitamin C and E calibration curve, evidencing the rich content in such antioxidants. Therefore, based on the valuable nutritional composition confirmed through this study, poplar buds, turmeric and ginger can be recommended as phytogenic feed additives for poultry nutrition.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The paper assesses the effect of organisational power on the structural empowerment of hospital nurses. The study also explores the degree to which nurses are able to take more responsibility in their work. Data were taken from 100 nurses of the Algerian public hospital. The model was tested by partial least squares path modelling. The results showed that organisational power positively affected structural empowerment. In addition, nurses have the ability to take on more responsibilities at work. Increasing nurses’ structural empowerment is an essential outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to move away from extreme centralization and try to share information, support, and experience with nurses, especially at public hospitals. Heads of nursing departments must share experience and information and delegate powers to nurses to enhance the effectiveness of their performance, especially in response to emergencies, and create the appropriate environment to enhance the empowerment of nurses.
Selecting for deafness – a marvellous opportunity or imposed dependence?
Authors: Bělohrad Radim 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The paper focuses on the question of whether it is morally permissible to use reproductive technologies to select children with congenital deafness. I review the arguments that have been presented to support the claims that the lack of hearing is not overall bad, that disability is caused by social discrimination rather than impairment, that the community of deaf people gives its members plenty of opportunities to lead a happy life, and that procreative decisions need not improve the world. I argue that although the claims are, to a certain extent, reasonable, they fail to establish the conclusion that selecting for deafness is morally permissible. I further argue that the decision to select a deaf child is morally wrong because it results in imposed and needless dependency, that the happiness of a deaf child is conditioned by their confinement to a relatively small community, and that the deaf parents who reject their child’s potential biculturalism are motivated by questionably self-regarding reasons.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of select ethical issues in Visegrad Four (V4) countries (Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary) and quantify the differences in the attitudes of entrepreneurs in the field of business ethics in these countries. Empirical research was conducted in June 2022 in the V4 countries. Data collection was carried out by the renowned external company MNFORCE using "Computer Assisted Web Interviewing" (CAWI Research Method), according to the questionnaire created by the research team. The total number of respondents was 1,398, of which 347 were from the Czech Republic, 322 from Slovakia, 381 from Poland, and 348 from Hungary. Statistical hypotheses were verified using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and Z-scores at a α = 5% significance level. The preliminary results of this study can be evaluated as follows: The ethical level of entrepreneurs in V4 countries is high because the dominant group showed a positive attitude towards the defined issues in the field of business ethics. The attitudes of these entrepreneurs showed that they not only perceived the importance of business ethics, but also implemented and promoted these practices in managerial decision-making. Moreover, they feel good when they behave ethically, which is a significant motivating factor. In this study, it was found that Hungarian SMEs presented the highest level of business ethics. In contrast, the Czech Republic presented the lowest level of perception and enforcement of business ethics.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Bearing in mind these circumstances, a review of new molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer progression, resistance and various aspects of existing therapeutic methods would lead to new insights for biologists and clinicians. In this regard, we conducted a study covering recent advances in breast cancer biology with a focus on the p21 protein. The study included 147 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The presence of non-invasive lesions was noted in each invasive breast cancer and surrounding tissue. p21 expression was determined by reading the percentage of nuclear expression in epithelial cells of invasive breast cancer and non-invasive lesions. Results showed that expression of p21 increases with the progression of cytological changes in the epithelium; it is significantly higher in invasive breast cancer compared to non-invasive lesions (p<0.001). There is a difference in p21 expression between different molecular subtypes of breast cancer (p=0.004). Statistically significantly higher values of p21 expression were observed in those breast cancers that showed overexpression of HER2 compared to HER2-negative tumors (p=0.001). Depending on Ki67 expression, the highest p21 expression is in the group with high Ki67 expression values (p=0.019). The increase in p21 expression in tumor cells was accompanied by a statistically significantly reduced expression of ER (p=0.015, ρ=-0.225) and PR (p=0.027, ρ−0.205). p21 protein plays an important role in proliferation, malignant transformation, as well as in progression from non-invasive lesions to invasive breast cancer.

Legal Protection for the E-Auction System for the Purchase of Pledge Objects at Office Services and State Wealth Auctions (KPKNL) in an Islamic Perspective
Authors: Margaret Helena 
Published: May 2023

Indonesia is known as a country whose people experience many problems related to debt receivables. However, education regarding collateral rights is still minimal. Therefore , the government provides solutions related to education on the auction of objects through socialization. The purpose of this study discusses the process and protection of legal certainty related to E-Aution of purchasing pawn objects at the KPKNL service seen in its Islamic perspective. This type of research is qualitatively narrative by examining various literature to be discoping into research results. Thereason is, there is socialization related to E-Auction because there is still minimal trust from the E-Auction system. It was seen that there were many cases of irresponsible auctions and plus the majority of Indonesians were Muslims, so the KPKNL office provided progress from collaboration between managers Syar'i-based which is still categorized as new. However, the collaboration process between KPKNL and BSI fosters confidence and trust if the implementation of the E-Auction is in accordance with Minister of Finance Regulation No. 106 / PMK. 06/ 2013 on E-Auction and No. 93/PMK. 06/2010 i.e. preventive protection of auction winners

OBJECTIVE
Personalized stimulation is key to optimizing the outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the contacts in a single conventional electrode cannot be programmed independently, which may affect the therapeutic efficacy of DBS for OCD. Therefore, a novel designed electrode and implantable pulse generator (IPG) that could achieve differential stimulation parameters for different contacts was implanted into the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) of a cohort of patients with OCD.

METHODS
Thirteen consecutive patients underwent bilateral DBS of the NAc-ALIC between January 2016 and May 2021. Differential stimulation of the NAc-ALIC was applied at initial activation. Primary effectiveness was assessed on the basis of change in scores on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Full-response was defined as a 35% decrease in Y-BOCS score. Secondary effectiveness measures were the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). The local field potential of bilateral NAc-ALIC was recorded in 4 patients who were reimplanted with a sensing IPG after battery depletion of the previous IPG.

RESULTS
The Y-BOCS, HAMA, and HAMD scores decreased remarkably during the first 6 months of DBS. Ten of 13 patients were categorized as responders (76.9%). Differential stimulation of the NAc-ALIC was favorable to optimization of the stimulation parameters by increasing the parameter configurations. Power spectral density analysis revealed pronounced delta-alpha frequency activity in the NAc-ALIC. Phase-amplitude coupling of the NAc-ALIC showed that strong coupling is present between the phase of delta-theta and broadband gamma amplitude.

CONCLUSIONS
These preliminary findings indicate that differential stimulation of the NAc-ALIC can improve the efficacy of DBS for OCD.

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility and safety of "hybrid" stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) in guiding epilepsy surgery and in providing information at single-neuron levels (i.e., single-unit recording) to further the understanding of the mechanisms of epilepsy and the neurocognitive processes unique to humans.

METHODS
The authors evaluated 218 consecutive patients undergoing SEEG procedures from 1993 through 2018 at a single academic medical center to assess the utility and safety of this technique in both guiding epilepsy surgery and providing single-unit recordings. The hybrid electrodes used in this study contained macrocontacts and microwires to simultaneously record intracranial EEG and single-unit activity (hybrid SEEG). The outcomes of SEEG-guided surgical interventions were examined, as well as the yield and scientific utility of single-unit recordings in 213 patients who participated in the research involving single-unit recordings.

RESULTS
All patients underwent SEEG implantation by a single surgeon and subsequent video-EEG monitoring (mean of 10.2 electrodes per patient and 12.0 monitored days). Epilepsy networks were localized in 191 (87.6%) patients. Two clinically significant procedural complications (one hemorrhage and one infection) were noted. Of 130 patients who underwent subsequent focal epilepsy surgery with a minimum 12-month follow-up, 102 (78.5%) underwent resective surgery and 28 (21.5%) underwent closed-loop responsive neurostimulation (RNS) with or without resection. Seizure freedom was achieved in 65 (63.7%) patients in the resective group. In the RNS group, 21 (75.0%) patients achieved 50% or greater seizure reduction. When the initial period of 1993 through 2013 before responsive neurostimulator implantation in 2014 was compared with the subsequent period of 2014 through 2018, the proportion of SEEG patients undergoing focal epilepsy surgery grew from 57.9% to 79.7% due to the advent of RNS, despite a decline in focal resective surgery from 55.3% to 35.6%. A total of 18,680 microwires were implanted in 213 patients, resulting in numerous significant scientific findings. Recent recordings from 35 patients showed a yield of 1813 neurons, with a mean yield of 51.8 neurons per patient.

CONCLUSIONS
Hybrid SEEG enables safe and effective localization of epileptogenic zones to guide epilepsy surgery and provides unique scientific opportunities to investigate neurons from various brain regions in conscious patients. This technique will be increasingly utilized due to the advent of RNS and may prove a useful approach to probe neuronal networks in other brain disorders.
