Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the effect of adding different sources of hydrolysable tannins to the sheep diet on protozoa population and carbohydrate digestion in the rumen. The study was performed in 3 Polish Lowland ewes fistulated to the rumen in a 3 × 3 Latin square design. Control sheep (CON) received (g/d): meadow hay (600), barley meal (300), soybean meal (100) and vitamin-mineral premix (20). Sheep from the experimental groups were additionally administered 12.6 g/kg DM oak bark extract (OAK) and 3.91 g/kg DM tannic acid (TAN ). The net consumption of tannins was approx. 0.4% DM for both additives. Regarding the count of protozoa, a significant interaction between diet and sampling time was documented for all ciliates (P<0.01), with a significant effect of both factors when considered separately. Experimental diets reduced the number of total protozoa and Entodinium spp. (before feeding, 2 and 4 h after feeding; P<0.01), while increasing the abundance of Isotricha spp. population (4 h after feeding; P<0.01) in the rumen. Interestingly, the count of Ophryoscolex spp. after feeding the TAN diet increased before feeding and 2 h after feeding in comparison to the CON and OAK groups, respectively, and subsequently decreased compared to the CON diet (4 and 8 h after feeding, P<0.01). A significant interaction between the diet and sampling time was observed for xylanolytic activity (P<0.01) in the rumen, with a significant effect of sampling time, which decreased its activity in CON (after feeding) and OAK sheep (2 h after feeding; P<0.01). For amylolytic activity (P<0.10), there was a trend towards a significant interaction between experimental factors, with a significant effect on both diet and sampling time. Detailed analysis showed that the TAN diet significantly reduced amylolytic activity 2 h after feeding compared to the CON group (P<0.05). In conclusion, the TAN diet significantly reduced the number of total protozoa and Entodinium spp., which consequently reduced amylolytic activity in the rumen, without any significant effect on pH and carbohydrate fermentation in the rumen.

Abstract
The mucosa contains soluble antigens of the ABO blood group system. Secretor status as a trait has been linked to a variety of clinical diseases and is determined by the individual’s fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) allele. The distribution of secretor status in relation to ABO blood group phenotypes varies from region to region, with medicolegal significance. There is a dearth of information on the secretor status of the studied population. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the secretor status of the ABH in a Nigerian population. To achieve this, fresh saliva samples (~5 ml) were collected from 325 (181 males and 144 females) apparently healthy individuals in the urban city of Lagos. Secretor status was determined by haemagglutination inhibition test with the saliva samples of participants. Results showed that 85% of the participants were secretors and 15% were non-secretors with no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between male and female gender. The frequencies of the Secretor, Se and Non-secretor, se genes were 0.543 and 0.457, respectively while the frequencies of the SeSe, Sese, and sese genotypes were 0.294, 0.496, and 0.209, respectively. The participants’ ABO blood group distributions were 65.5% group O, 16.6% group A, 15.1% group B, and 2.8% group AB. The incidence of secretors across blood group was 89% in group O, 85% in A, 79% in B and 67% in AB. However, there were no statistically significant variations in secretor status and ABO blood group (p>0.05). In conclusion, the study shows that there are more secretors than non-secretors, and the ability to secrete the ABH antigens are independent of ABO blood of individuals.

Abstrak Pandemi virus corona-19 memberikan dampak negatif bagi perekonomian global, termasuk Indonesia. Pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia diprediksi minus 0,4%. Penerapan physical distancing telah mengurangi aktivitas ekonomi masyarakat sehingga terjadi penurunan penawaran agregat yang berdampak pada penurunan produksi. Dari sisi penawaran dan permintaan, Work From Home berdampak pada penurunan Permintaan Agregat, sehingga produksi menurun. Hal itu akan semakin merusak kelancaran mekanisme pasar. Ketika sektor ekonomi riil terganggu, krisis akan dirasakan secara merata oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat, sehingga berdampak pada sektor keuangan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kontribusi filantropi ekonomi Islam yang tepat dalam menghadapi pandemi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan studi literatur. Riset menyimpulkan bahwa ada beberapa kontribusi filantropi ekonomi Islam yang efektif dalam mengatasi pandemi. Kontribusi tersebut pertama, optimalisasi penerapan keuangan sosial (penyaluran dana ZIS, pengembangan infrastruktur berbasis wakaf, pembinaan dan pendampingan UMKM melalui pinjaman qardhulhasan). Kedua, pengembangan teknologi keuangan syariah bagi pelaku pasar online agar sesuai dengan ketentuan syariah Abstract The corona virus pandemic-19 had a negative impact on the global economy, including Indonesia. Indonesia's economic growth is predicted to be minus 0.4%. The application of physical distancing has reduced people's economic activity, resulting in a decrease in aggregate supply, which has an impact on decreasing production. From a supply and demand perspective, Work From Home results in a decrease in the Aggregate Demand, so that production decreases. This study aims to identify the appropriate contribution of Islamic economic philanthropy in the face of a pandemic. The research concludes that there are several contributions from Islamic economic philanthropy that are effective in overcoming the pandemic. These contributions are first, optimization of the application of social finance (distribution of ZIS funds, development of waqf-based infrastructure, guidance and assistance to SMME through qardhulhasan loans). Second, the development of Islamic financial technology for online market players to comply with sharia regulations.

Published: February 2023

Purpose. Russian and foreign linguists studied the influence of Turkic languages on the grammatical and lexical composition of Mongolic languages. Material from monuments and modern living languages of Siberia shed light on the role of the early Turkic and Mongolic language in the development of the modern linguistic landscape of the region, specifying its place in the Altai linguistic family from a cultural perspective. Horse is a sacred animal for all Turkic and Mongolic speaking nomads that take an important place in their economy and culture, with all its characteristics being featured in the lexicon of the languages under comparison. Researchers also examined a wide range of Mongolian words reflecting various sex- and age-specific terms for livestock and its color as well as keeping and pasturing practices, pasture characteristics, livestock economy, etc. The lexicon characterizing horse movement in Turkic and Mongolic languages has not been the subject of comparative analysis in modern Turkic studies. Thus, the paper describes and analyzes the lexico-semantic group of words that represent the terms for the pattern of natural movement of horse in Turkic and Mongolic languages.Results. To achieve the research objectives we used the synchronous descriptive, comparative, contrastive-typological, and where possible comparative-historical methods. The study defined the structure and semantics of linguistic units, revealing considerably more similarities than differences in the plane of expression in both Turkic languages of Siberia and Mongolic layers of vocabulary.Conclusion. Yakut demonstrates both the Turkic and Mongolic layers, which is characteristic of all languages under comparison. Also, there are later borrowings from Buryat, e.g. the verbs denoting ‘amble’.
Concerning the Landscape in A. P. Chekhov’s Short Story “Ionych”
Authors: Dolzhenkov P. N. , Jin Tianhao 
Published: February 2023

Purpose. The article discusses the connection between the landscape descriptions in the short story and its content.Results. The landscapes, together with Delvig’s elegy and the reference to Pisemsky’s novel A Thousand Souls, partly anticipate the content of the story and give the reader an opportunity to expect beforehand that Ionych’s love for Kotik will fade, and the protagonist of the story will end on a downward slope. The contraposition of the sublime, the poetic and the prosaic everyday matters is the common theme of the whole short story Ionych. This contraposition is set up in the beginning of the story in the description of the garden. The landscape descriptions also echo the themes of the story and introduce some of them. The inscription over the cemetery gate introduces the theme of moral judgment against the protagonist.Conclusion. The nature in the story turns out to be ambivalent: it promises “a quiet, beautiful, eternal life” and at the same time threatens with the mute desperation of nothingness. This ambivalence can be found in other works by Chekhov, too. Besides this, the cemetery landscape introduces into the story the theme of temporality of everything on earth. The landscape of the cemetery at night also has the combination of sex and death present in it. This Freudist combination can be found in the writer’s other works, too.

IntroductionEosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF), sometimes called Ofuji disease, is a chronic skin disorder of unknown etiology which develops predominantly in elderly man. Clinically it usually presents as itching centrifugally extending papulopustular rash.AimTo present a case of EPF and to raise dermatologists’ awareness of this this dermatosis when dealing with patients who are in higher risk of EPF occurrence.Case studyA 90-year-old man presented to the dermatology clinic due to the itching rash that had been present for 3 months. Physical examination of the patient revealed red-brown papulopustules covering trunk and extremities, most severe on the frontal part of thighs. Other possible causative agents of the symptoms were excluded. Histopathological results together with clinical symptoms led us to the final diagnosis of classic EPF.Results and discussionEPF is challenging to diagnose. The disease is very rare, especially in Europe, and clinical and/or histological appearance may mimic other dermatological conditions. The most commonly affected areas are face, back and trunk. EPF is usually classified into three main subtypes: classic, infantile and immunosuppression-associated. There are many viable therapeutic algorithms for the treatment of EPF.ConclusionsEosinophilic pustular folliculitis should be considered in differential diagnosis of pruritic follicular papulopustular rash affecting elderly men. Histopathological results play a crucial role in the making of final diagnosis.
A retrospective review of empiric acyclovir prescribing practices for suspected viral central nervous system infections: A single-centre study
Authors: Kim JeongMin Marie , Nishi Cesilia , Grant Jennifer Mina 
Published: February 2023

Background: Acyclovir has an important role in the treatment of viral central nervous system (CNS) infection, especially herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 encephalitis. It is therefore used broadly as empiric therapy for many patients who present to the hospital with symptoms of a possible neurologic infection. We sought to review our practices in acyclovir prescribing, deprescribing, and associated investigations for the clinical syndromes it treats. Methods: Through a retrospective chart review, we identified patients prescribed acyclovir for a possible CNS infection upon admission to Vancouver General Hospital between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019. Patient demographics, signs, symptoms, and comorbidities were taken from admission consultation notes or discharge summaries; their investigations, including laboratory tests and imaging, were also recorded. The primary purpose was to describe the appropriateness of empiric acyclovir use in suspected meningoencephalitis cases. Results: Among the 108 patients treated with acyclovir, 94 patients had an indication for starting empiric treatment for encephalitis or meningitis. There was suspicion and workup for encephalitis alone in 76 patients. Among discharge diagnoses, the most common was delirium of a different identified source (18 cases), followed by unknown/other (15 cases). There were seven patients whose CSF viral PCR test was positive for HSV or varicella-zoster virus (VZV); three of them had HSV-1 encephalitis. There were two total adverse events recorded attributed to acyclovir; both cases were of mild acute kidney injury. Conclusion: We found that in many patients, acyclovir was not necessary or could have been stopped earlier, avoiding toxicity and drug costs.
