Abstract
Quality is a factor that will influence the growth time of seedlings in the nursery and, later, in the field. One of the requirements to increase the quality of seedlings is the substrate, which can have its chemical characteristics improved with the application of limestone. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of base saturation on the initial growth of yellow ipe seedlings (Handroanthus chrysotrichus) under nursery conditions and, subsequently, to recommend the most appropriate saturation. For this, the yellow ipe seedlings were produced in plastic bags and, when they reached 10 cm in height, limestone was applied. The treatments tested were: T0 – current level of V% of the soil; T1 – 50% base saturation; T2 - 60% base saturation; T3 - 70% base saturation; T4 - 80% base saturation; T5 - 90% base saturation. Using a completely randomized design, with six replications. At the end of 90 days, the morphological characteristics were measured and obtained: increase in height and diameter; aerial dry mass; root dry mass; total dry mass; height/diameter ratio; aerial mass/root mass ratio and; Dickson quality index. To increase the base saturation, the treatment of 50% was recommended, because it helped to obtain quality yellow ipe seedlings.

Determination of serotype distribution of aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and its relationship to Herpes virus in patients with aggressive periodontitis
Authors: Murugappan Subbulakshmi 
Published: September 2023

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. a) and its serotypes were commonly associated with Aggressive Periodontitis (AgP). Herpes virus along with A.a in sites of destruction, suggested that their co-occurence reduces the ability of macrophages to respond to bacteria and inhibits their phagocytic activity. JP2 clone is a highly leukotoxic strain of A.a, associated with Keywincreased progression of periodontal disease. The aim of the study was to determine the serotype distribution of A.a and its relationship to the presence of Herpes virus [Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV)] in patients with AgP. The study included 20 patients with AgP and 20 periodontally healthy subjects. Subgingival plaque samples were collected from deepest pockets using Gracey curettes and transferred to transport media. The cDNA was extracted and analysed by PCR. Serotype d and JP2 were found to be significantly more prevalent among the participants and showed a positive correlation with increased PD and CAL, suggesting an association with the severity of AgP. Though CMV and EBV were also found to be associated with AgP, the results were insignificant. Females showed more association with disease severity than males, but the results were insignificant. There was a positive correlation between serotype d and JP2 with the periodontal status. CMV and EBV were also associated with the severity of AgP, but the results were insignificant. Further quantitative studies should prove the exact role of co- occurrence of serotypes with CMV and EBV and their effect on AgP.

This article aims to discuss the conglomeration of the National Education Policy 2020 with the University Grants Commission and the other accreditation guidelines that are already existing and the directions for the future. It is neither for nor against the policy and doesn’t express any political views. National Education Policy released in 2020 has been discussed a lot in many forums, media, and publications. Anything introduced new would always have to face lots of critiques and challenges before it gets implemented. The governance of universities and institutions have become more formal and standardized with enormous documentation procedure. The release of the National Education Policy invoked mixed feelings amongst the academic administrators and those working on the accreditation side, as they envisioned more challenges and documentation to be faced in the future. The parameters of the National Education Policy were compared with the parameters of NIRF, NAAC, and UGC guidelines. The conglomeration of the policy documents discussed in this article concludes that most of the points of the national education policy are already being followed by the institutions and it’s not completely new to be perceived as a huge challenge.

Wheat production in Bangladesh faces to the detrimental effects of biotic and abiotic stresses that have been exacerbated by climate change. The development of short duration, high temperature and disease tolerant wheat variety is the most importance to produce higher yield combating the deleterious effects of the stresses. Some wheat lines (line was expressed by E) were evaluated at the different research stations of Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute (BWMRI) and farmers’ fields in consecutively three years under irrigated timely sowing (ITS) and irrigated late sowing (ILS) conditions. The days to heading (DH), days to maturity (DM), plant height (PH), spikelet spike-1 (SPS), grain spike-1 (GPS), thousand grain weight (TGW), and grain yield were depicted comparatively higher in ITS and ILS than ITS, but the severity of Bipolaris leaf blight (BpLB) and blast diseases were exhibited lower in BAW 1194 (E9) line than check varieties and other lines same conditions (BAW = Bangladesh Advanced Wheat). Those phenotypic and yield contributing characters, and BpLB and blast diseases were also observed lower in ILS than other genotypes. Further, E9 exhibited the lower percentage of yield loss in the ILS compared to ITS than check and other genotypes indicated its high temperature tolerance. In addition, E9 exhibited relatively higher grain yield than other genotypes in the candidate variety demonstration and multiplication yield trials. Therefore, BAW 1194 line may be released as a short duration, tolerance to high temperature and BpLB, and moderately tolerance to blast disease wheat variety to accelerate wheat production.

A dimensão inclusiva das cooperativas em Portugal
Authors: Martinho Ana Luisa 
Published: September 2023

Debido a su naturaleza, a saber, la combinación de objetivos sociales y económicos en favor del interés general, así como a su ideología, las organizaciones de la economía social, incluidas las cooperativas, son especialmente adecuadas para cumplir las directrices del trabajo digno e integrador. Este artículo ilustra, mediante un estudio de caso, el papel integrador desempeñado por las cooperativas de solidaridad social en Portugal. El análisis en profundidad de una cooperativa que se dedica a la inserción sociolaboral de personas en situación de vulnerabilidad, nos permitió comprender las metodologías utilizadas para acompañar a estas personas. También identificamos los retos y las estrategias adoptadas para lograr mejor la integración de las personas acompañadas. Concluimos que, a pesar de la falta de una forma jurídica específica que enmarque el trabajo de las cooperativas dedicadas a la integración de personas alejadas del mercado laboral regular a través de actividades productivas, existen prácticas de facto.

Authors: Bondarenko Larysa , Shayakhmetova Ganna , Tkachenko Olexandr , Kalachinskaya Maria , Kovalenko Valentyna 
Published: September 2023

Background. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex of disorders characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance and glucose tolerance, arterial hypertension, and all types of metabolic disorders. Taking into account the wide range of symptoms accompanying MS, the use of preparations with pleiotropic effects on metabolic processes in the body could be promising for its treatment.
Objective. The aim of this study is comparative estimation of metformin or its combination with vitamins' complex or liposomal preparation treatment effects on DNA, RNA, histones, ATP, ADP, AMP contents, and DNA fragmentation processes in testes of rats with MS induced in juvenile age.
Methods. MS model was induced by full replacement of drinking water with 10% fructose solution in Wistar male rats of 21–23 days age (50–70 g). DNA, RNA, histones, ATP, ADP, AMP contents, and DNA fragmentation processes investigations were carried out after 60 days of MS modeling and metformin or its combination with vitamins' complex or liposomal preparation treatment.
Results. In experiments with pubertal rats with MS and metformin or its combination vitamins' complex or liposomal preparation treatment, we established partially corrective effects of these medications for DNA, RNA, histones, ATP, ADP, AMP contents, and DNA fragmentation processes changes caused by MS development.
Conclusions. A comparative analysis of the studied preparations' effects under MS simulation in the juvenile age showed that none of these drugs was able to completely normalize the disorders in studied indicators caused by MS. However, both combinations of metformin with vitamins' complex or liposomal preparation were still more effective in these negative changes' correction then metformin itself. Metformin with vitamins' complex caused a more pronounced influence on the processes of DNA fragmentation, the levels of adenyl nucleotides, and the energy charge of rat testicular cells, while the corrective effect of metformin with liposomal preparation was more noticeable with respect to the content of chromatin components.
BACKGROUND FOR THE USE OF HYDROGEN IN UKRAINE IN THE ENERGY AND AUTOMOTIVE SECTORS
Authors: Lisoval A.A. 
Published: September 2023

Based on the global trends, the article substantiates the place of hydrogen and hydrogen technologies in the further decarbonisation of the energy sector and road transport in Ukraine. The variety of methods of production, transportation and storage, and the use of hydrogen of different purity require complex trade-offs between the cost of the technology and the amount of possible emissions of harmful substances into the environment at all related stages of application of these technologies. Hydrogen fuels and hydrogen technologies should be positioned as one of the areas of energy transition of economic sectors to decarbonisation, which will lead to the development of climate-neutral technologies. Traditional reciprocating internal combustion engines (ICE) can be upgraded to run on purely hydrogen fuel, but this requires the use of new materials due to the high specific energy intensity of hydrogen. The combustion of hydrogen in ICE combustion chambers is hindered by nitrogen oxide (NOX) emission restrictions. A possible option is to use a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas or to upgrade dual-fuel internal combustion engines. This is the most realistic option for Ukraine at this point. In light of the decarbonisation process, the main advantage of fuel cells (FC) is the absence of hydrocarbon combustion and, accordingly, the ability to reduce air pollution with the greenhouse gas CO2. Existing FC can operate not only on hydrogen but also on natural gas. In the energy sector, hydrogen technologies compete not with traditional methods of generating heat and electricity, but with bioenergy, heat pumps, and technologies for capturing and storing carbon and its oxides. In the automotive sector, hydrogen technologies compete with liquid and gaseous biofuels, electric vehicles and hybrids with internal combustion engines and batteries. The potential application of hydrogen technologies for decarbonisation processes will only be unlocked once a hydrogen market and the relevant infrastructure are in place. The segment and price of hydrogen technologies depend on by the method of production process chosen, as well as the infrastructure components, including storage, transportation and fuelling stations. The safe operation and implementation of hydrogen technologies in Ukraine requires qualified engineering staff. The training of such specialists for the energy and transport sectors can be taken on by universities by universities in the speciality 142 – energy engineering.
THE COMPOSITION OF THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM FOR LOCAL MULTI-CIRCUIT COOLING ON AUTO TRACTOR DIESEL PARTS JUSTIFICATION
Authors: Trynov O. V. , Sivykh D.G. 
Published: September 2023

A series of motor bench and non-motorized experiments conducted at the Department of Engines and Hybrid Power Plants of NTU "KhPI" showed the high efficiency of local air cooling of heat-stressed parts of internal combustion engines, in particular, parts of the exhaust valve assembly of the gas distribution mechanism in an automated mode. However, in the tests carried out, a stationary air compressor powered by a ~220 V mains was used with air accumulation in a large-capacity cylinder. The implementation of a local cooling system on power plants, mainly powerful trucks, requires the inclusion in the automatic control system of autonomous cooling, a pneumatic compressor installed on the vehicle with an electric drive, powered by the on-board power supply and accumulating air in a receiver with compact dimensions.
A review of design solutions and analysis of the component composition of pneumatic systems of autotractor vehicles was carried out. The requirements for the quality and safety of pneumatic systems of vehicles and their elements are considered. The technical characteristics of air compressors are presented. The scheme of the pneumatic system of local multi-circuit cooling on autotractor diesel parts has been chosen. On the example of the selected air compressor with an electric drive Maximum Performance 24V from ARB (Australia), estimates were made of the operating time up to a working pressure in the receiver of 10 bar. The electrical load on the 24 V on-board network of the vehicle was determined in the form of an average current consumption per filling cycle. The maximum current consumption by the compressor is determined, the current consumption per hour is estimated under the condition of a proportional alternation of the cycles of filling the receiver and emptying it.

Published: September 2023

Background:
Femoral fragility fractures in older adults can result in devastating loss of physical function and independence. Skeletal muscle atrophy likely contributes to disability. The purpose of this study was to characterize the change in skeletal muscle mass, investigate the relationship with malnutrition and physical function, and identify risk factors for skeletal muscle loss.

Methods:
Adults ≥65 years of age who were treated with operative fixation of an isolated femoral fragility fracture were enrolled in this multicenter, prospective observational study. Skeletal muscle mass was assessed within 72 hours of admission using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, which was repeated at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Sarcopenia was defined by sex-specific cutoffs for the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index. The Mini Nutritional Assessment was used to measure nutritional status at the time of injury. Physical function was measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function domain. Linear mixed models were used to evaluate changes in skeletal muscle mass and PROMIS Physical Function scores over time and to evaluate factors associated with skeletal muscle mass changes.

Results:
Ninety participants (74% female) with a mean age of 77.6 ± 9.0 years were enrolled. At the time of injury, 30 (33%) were sarcopenic and 44 (49%) were at risk for malnutrition or had malnutrition. Older age was associated with lower skeletal muscle mass (age of ≥75 versus <75 years: least squares mean [and standard error], −3.3 ± 1.6 kg; p = 0.042). From the time of injury to 6 weeks, participants lost an average of 2.4 kg (9%) of skeletal muscle mass (95% confidence interval [CI] = ‒3.0 to ‒1.8 kg; p < 0.001). This early loss did not recover by 6 months (1.8 kg persistent loss compared with baseline [95% CI = ‒2.5 to ‒1.1 kg]; p < 0.001). Participants with normal nutritional status lost more skeletal muscle mass from baseline to 6 weeks after injury compared with those with malnutrition (1.3 kg more loss [standard error, 0.6 kg]; p = 0.036). A 1-kg decrease in skeletal muscle mass was associated with an 8-point decrease in the PROMIS Physical Function (model parameter estimate, 0.12 [standard error, 0.04]; p = 0.002).

Conclusions:
We found that older adults with femoral fragility fractures lost substantial skeletal muscle mass and physical function. Participants with adequate baseline nutrition actually lost more muscle mass than those who were malnourished, indicating that future investigations of interventions to prevent muscle loss should focus on older adults regardless of nutritional status.

Abstract
(Note: a correction was made to the Index Reverse primer 20 Sep2023)
CRISPR-Cas9 RNA-guided endonucleases are widely used in genome engineering, yet information on biochemical and cellular off-target cleavage activity is lacking. Here, we present a biochemical method, based on the selective enrichment and identification of adapter-tagged DNA ends by sequencing \(SITE-Seq). SITE-Seq can be used to identify off-target cleavage sites within a genomic DNA sample. This protocol details the preparation of SITE-Seq libraries for high throughput Next Generation Sequencing on the Illumina platform.
