Authors: Ali Akbar Roshan Safeeha , Averal Horne Iona , Siddhaiayan Elavarasi 
Published: June 2022

Polyherbal formulations are known for various medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticle (AgNps) using polyherbal extract and to evaluate their effect on human bacterial pathogens. Polyherbal extract silver nanoparticles were synthesized and the presence of AgNPs was confirmed by UV-Visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) analysis. The effect of polyherbal AgNps were evaluated against human bacterial pathogens by agar well diffusion method. The UV-VIS spectrophotometer, SEM analysis and the agar well diffusion method confirmed the potential antibacterial activity of biosynthesized polyherbal AgNPs against common bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Propionibacteriun acnes, Streptococcus oralis, Enterobacter feacalis, Proteus vulgaris, Aeromonas hydrophila, Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Actinomycetes Sp. Therefore, we suggest that polyherbal AgNPs can be used for the treatment of bacterial diseases.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Architectural representation: the image and the sign
Authors: Leandri Gaia , Campbell Jackie , Iñarra Abad Susana , Juan Vidal Francisco 
Published: June 2022

The final aspect of architectural projects is nowadays illustrated by computer generated images of photographic quality (photorealistic renders), mostly replacing the old fashioned hand drawn images. Several authors feel that their realism may not convey the desired message to onlookers. We proposed a Web based questionnaire containing 3 tests to assess whether communication, recognisability and engagement were better conveyed by hand drawn images or photorealistic renders. 154 responders took the test, 74% of them were professionals in the architectural field and 26% general public. In both groups, the answers indicated that communication and recognizability were much better perceived in hand drawn images than in photorealistic renders. Engagement was aimed at assessing personal preference towards render or hand drawn images, with an even outcome. It is concluded that architect’s idea and spirit are better conveyed by hand drawn images which are a sort of “sign”. Such feature should be properly taken into account in academic curricula. Photorealistic renders should be used complementarily to show a virtual reality of the project’s outcome.

Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is the validation of the GA Classic IESOL examination at CEFR level B2 (Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking), as a criterion-referenced achievement test, using the multi-trait, multi-method approach. The data analysed at the moment pertain to the Listening unit and have been studied to examine the content validity, reliability of the scores and unidimensionality of the construct. The Listening unit consists of three tasks (22 items) in four different versions (D-E-F-G). Four separate statistical analyses were performed and all revealed excellent values of internal consistency. As for unidimensionality of the construct, excellent values were revealed for versions E, F and G and acceptable for version D. Similar analyses on the reading test are planned, with the aim of reaching a multitrait-multimethod analysis of the examination as a whole.Further steps of the study will be the IRT equating procedure of the four versions.
A case study of hybrid learning in higher education using quantitative research design
Authors: La Rosa Angela Daniela , Mavroudi Anna 
Published: June 2022

There is currently limited work on synchronous forms of hybrid education although it has become the norm in university education. In addition, there is a gab on empirical studies that are focusing on quantitative measures (such as student performance data) in this particular setting. To compensate for this gab in the literature, the paper presents a case study of hybrid teaching in the context of higher education that revolves around a quasi-experimental design with student performance data. The results were analysed quantitatively and they indicate that there was no significant statistical difference between the two groups in their performance in the final exams (with a large size effect). That finding is somewhat surprising since there is research indicating that the learning experience and performance of the students that attend a hybrid learning course remotely are not equally good as in the case of the students that participate in-class/on-site.

Published: June 2022

Soft skills development requires the use of education media and forums. While storytelling may be used in competitions, media classes do not use it as a teaching media. Storytelling in the classroom hasn't been used to its fullest potential. English language proficiency can be improved through the use of digital storytelling, specifically on YouTube, by students. The study is intended to achieve similarities and discrepancies in the importance of the English-language achievement with general English and the implementation of digital storytelling. This study may be graded as an experimental investigation and classroom action research. This study employed cross-sectional research with independent speaking pre-test and post-test for experimental and control group design. Talking with storytelling therapy triggering different strategies is advised in experimental classes. It uses intervention research to change people's "talking," "doing" and "related practices". For the control group data combined with T-tests findings, a value of 0.417 has been achieved with an average value of -10.97436. In achieving speaking test outcomes, one may interpret that the treatment group has a more important meaning than the control group. The outcome of this study show that storytelling learning can help students at vocational health Level 2, more than the general English learning, achieve the high speaking achievement.

eConsult for Provider-to-Provider Consultation
Authors: Peprah Kwakye , Walter Melissa 
Published: June 2022

The main cost considerations related to electric consultation (eConsult) can be grouped as start-up or infrastructure costs (e.g., equipment, developing electronic forms, creating workflows, and web page design), remunerations, (e.g., for primary care providers, specialist, and auxiliary staff), and societal cost (e.g., productivity loss, time spent travelling, cost of fuel to travel).
Considerations for a successful integration of eConsult models into clinical workflows may be broadly categorized into pre-implementation factors (e.g., appropriate training for staff, anticipating and addressing potential barriers or concerns, and having contingency plans for technological failures), implementation factors (e.g., ensuring availability of appropriate data collection and processing devices and software, defining appropriateness of eConsult, building efficiency into the design by using standardized data capture forms, maximizing auto-populating data fields to reduce documentation time, ensuring appropriate confidential documentation, and emphasizing critical information).
There were limitations in that no papers were identified to address the questions regarding ethical and professional considerations for the collection, use, and disclosure of protected health information, or the strengths and limitations of a standalone eConsult versus an eConsult platform integrated within an electronic medical records system. Furthermore, although the included studies contained some useful answers, they were not designed to address any of the research questions. Thus, well-designed studies focusing on the individual questions may be necessary for more comprehensive answers.

Artificial insemination is a critical component of animal breeding programs. The effectiveness of artificial insemination, on the other hand, is highly dependent on the consistency of the sperm. As a result, sperm preservation is critical for the storage and protection of animal genetic resources. Several experiments on the cryopreservation of chickens have failed miserably, but there is no evidence of such a research being conducted with FUNAAB alpha chickens. This experiment used 30 FUNAAB-alpha chickens of 25-30 weeks old. Semen samples were diluted in a Tris-based extender and stored in an electric freezer for 24 hours in refrigeration and freezing. The experiment was set up in a 3x2 factorial arrangement. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. As compared to the freezing protocol, the results showed that semen samples subjected to refrigeration protocols had higher (p<0.05) percentages in motility, livability, acrosome integrity, membrane integrity, and recovery rates. Refrigeration decreased sperm abnormality (p<0.05) as compared to freezing. When compared to refrigeration, freezing resulted in lower leukocyte and MDA levels (p<0.05). The study found that refrigerated spermatozoa had higher sperm viability than those frozen.

L'insémination artificielle est une composante essentielle des programmes d'élevage des animaux. L'efficacité de l'insémination artificielle, d'autre part, dépend fortement de la consistance du sperme. En conséquence, la préservation du sperme est essentielle pour le stockage et la protection des ressources génétiques animales. Plusieurs expériences sur la cryoconservation des poulets ont échoué lamentablement, mais il n'y a aucune preuve d'une telle recherche menée avec des poulets alpha de FUNNAB. Cette expérience a utilisé 30 poulets alpha de FUNAAB de 25-30 semaines. Des échantillons de sperme ont été dilués dans une extension à base de tris et stockés dans un congélateur électrique pendant 24 heures en réfrigération et en gel. L'expérience a été mise en place dans un arrangement 3x2 factoriel. L'ANOVA à sens unique a été utilisée pour analyser les données. Par rapport au protocole de congélation, les résultats ont montré que les échantillons de sperme soumis à des protocoles de réfrigération étaient plus élevés (p <0,05) pour les pourcentages de la motilité, de la vie privilégiable, de l'intégrité acrosomère, de l'intégrité de la membrane et des taux de récupération. La réfrigération a diminué d'anomalie de sperme (p <0,05) par rapport au gel. Par rapport à la réfrigération, la congélation a abouti à des niveaux de leucocyte inférieur et de MDA (P <0,05). L'étude a révélé que les spermatozoïdes réfrigérants avaient une viabilité de sperme plus élevée que celles gelées.

Introduction:
This multicenter cohort study investigated the association of serology and comorbid conditions with septic and aseptic nonunion.

Methods:
From January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2017, consecutive individuals surgically treated for nonunion were identified from seven centers. Nonunion-type, comorbid conditions and serology were assessed.

Results:
A total of 640 individuals were included. 57% were male with a mean age of 49 years. Nonunion sites included tibia (35.2%), femur (25.6%), humerus (20.3%), and other less frequent bones (18.9%). The type of nonunion included septic (17.7%) and aseptic (82.3%). Within aseptic, nonvascular (86.5%) and vascular (13.5%) nonunion were seen. Rates of smoking, alcohol abuse, and diabetes mellitus were higher in our nonunion cohort compared with population norms. Coronary artery disease and tobacco use were associated with septic nonunion (P < 0.05). Diphosphonates were associated with vascular nonunion (P < 0.05). Serologically, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, parathyroid hormone, red cell distribution width, mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelets and decreased absolute lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and albumin were associated with septic nonunion while lower calcium was associated with nonvascular nonunion (P < 0.05). The presence of four or more of increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, or red cell distribution width; decreased albumin; and age younger than 65 years carried an 89% positive predictive value for infection. Hypovitaminosis D was seen less frequently than reported in the general population, whereas anemia was more common. However, aside from hematologic and inflammatory indices, no other serology was abnormal more than 25% of the time.

Discussion:
Abnormal serology and comorbid conditions, including smoking, alcohol abuse, and diabetes mellitus, are seen in nonunion; however, serologic abnormalities may be less common than previously thought. Septic nonunion is associated with inflammation, younger age, and malnourishment. Based on the observed frequency of abnormality, routine laboratory work is not recommended for nonunion assessment; however, specific focused serology may help determine the presence of septic nonunion.

BIOACTIVE SECONDARY METABOLITES PRODUCTION BY TERRESTRIAL BACILLUS CIRCULANS STRAINS
Authors: Massadeh Muhannad I. , Al Masri Mona 
Published: June 2022

Screening for antagonistic microorganisms is a promising tool for discovering new antimicrobial metabolites. In this study, two Bacillus sp. (HU6 and HU8) were isolated from soil and assessed for their antimicrobial activity by the agar-well diffusion method against different human pathogens. According to general characteristics, morphology, and physio-chemical properties of the isolates they were identified as Bacillus circulans. Both strains exhibited a broad spectrum of activity against Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacteria. The highest antimicrobial activity was achieved from ethyl acetate extract of B. circulans HU6 against E. coli where the inhibition zone was 26.3 ± 0.82 mm. The bioactivity of the isolates extract was not affected when subjected to heat treatment or proteolytic digestion suggesting that the nature of the active metabolites was not proteinaceous. The GC/MS analysis of the extracts revealed the presence of 4 bioactive compounds: Pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione, Trans-13-octadecenoic acid, 2,5-piperazine dione,3,6-bis (2-methyl propyl), and cis-13-eicosenoic acid.

Az állatok zavarlalan életműködéséhez a táplálékuknak megfelelő mennyiségben és arányban kell ásványi anyagokal tartalmaznia. A gyepek növényzelének elemtartalmát igen sok tényező befolyásolja. Többek között a hő, a csapadék, az öntözés, a talaj típusa és tápanyag-ellátottsága, a gyeptípusok, a fajösszetétel. a tenyészidőszak aspektusai, a növények fenofázisa, a gyephasználat módja. A folyók árterében gyakran találunk extenzív hasznosítású legelőket, illetve természetes, nem telepített kaszálókat. Mivel ezen területeken kemikáliákat nem lehet alkalmazni, és a fajgazdagság nagy, igen alkalmasak arra, hogy a különböző növények elemtartalmát meghatározzuk. 2001-es évben négy ártéri legelőről, illetve kaszálóról készítettünk cönológiai felvételezést és mértük meg az ott található növényfajok elemtartalmát. Azok a növények, amelyeket nem vonnak be szándékosan a termelésbe, vagyis tágabb értelemben használva gyomnövények, igen értékes elemei a legelők növényzetének, mert az állatok számára értékes mikroelemekben gazdagabbá teszik a legelőt. Az általunk vizsgált területeken, az ideálisnak tartott 2/3 rész egyszíkű, 1/3 rész kétszikű aránytól eltérő arányokat kaptunk, de ez nem eredményezett Mn-hiányt.
Műtrágyázás hatása a telepített gyep takarmányértékére és tápanyaghozamára 2.

Published: June 2022

Egy műtrágyázási tartamkísérlet 28. évében, 2001-ben vizsgáltuk az eltérő N, P, K ellátottsági szintek és kombinációik hatását a réti csenkesz (Festuca pratensis) vezérnövényű, nyolckomponensű, pillangós nélküli gyepkeverék takarmányértékére. A termőhely talaja a szántott rétegben mintegy 3% humuszt, 3-5% CaCO3-ot és 20-22% agyagot tartalmazott, N és K elemekben közepesen, P és Zn elemekben gyengén ellátottnak minősült. A kísérlet 4N x 4P x 4K = 64 kezelést x 2 ismétlést = 128 parcellát foglalt magában. A talajvíz 13-15 m mélyen helyezkedik el, a terület aszályérzékeny. A vizsgált 2001. évben kielégítő, 621 mm csapadék hullott és annak eloszlása is kedvező volt. A kísérlet módszerét, valamint a műtrágyázás termésre és N-felvételre gyakorolt hatását előző közleményünk foglalta össze (Kádár, 2004).Főbb eredményeink: 1. Míg az 1. kaszálást adó anyaszéna hozamát az NxP pozitív kölcsönhatások határozták meg, a takarmányérték jellemzőit tekintve az NxK kölcsönhatások voltak a mérvadók. Az Nmka 532-ről 390 g/kg-ra csökkent az NK túlsúlya nyomán, ugyanitt a nyersfehérje tartalma 64-ről 183 g/kg értékre emelkedett. Az Nmka/nyersfehérje aránya a kontroll talajon mért 8,3-ról 2,1-re szűkült. A nyershamu tartalma 26%-kal, a MFN 286%-kal nőtt meg a kontrollhoz képest az NK-trágyázással. 2. A gazdaságilag optimálisnak tekinthető takarmányérték hozamokat már a 100 kg/ha/év N-adag biztosította a 150 mg/kg AL-P2O5 „közepes” ellátottság mellett a nyersrost, rostfrakciók (NDF, ADF), Nmka, nyershamu, NE1, NEm, NEg mutatók esetében az 1. kaszálásnál. A nyerszsír és az MFE hozamok optimumai a 200 kg/ha/év N-adag és a 333 mg/kg AL-P2O5 ellátottsághoz kötődtek. A nyersfehérje és a N-függő Metabolizálható Fehérje (MFN) optimumait ugyanakkor a maximális NP-kínálat biztosította, a kontrollhoz képest a hozamok megötszöröződtek. 3. A 2. kaszálású sarjúszéna termését és takarmányértékét a N-trágyázás növelte, a P és K hatásai elmaradtak. Maximális szénatermést és takarmányhozamokat általában a 300 kg/ha/év N-adag biztosította. Az 1+2 kaszálás összegeit tekintve általában 200 kg/ha/év N-adag bizonyult optimálisnak. Extrémebb különbségek léptek fel az egyes kezeléskombinációk között. Az abszolút kontroll (N0P0K0) kicsi hozamokat adott. Ehhez képest az egyoldalú mérsékelt N-trágyázás (N1P0K0) 2-3-szoros többleteket, míg a kiegyensúlyozott mérsékelt (N1P1K1) kezelés további ugrásszerű növekedést jelentett a takarmányérték hozamaiban. A N-függő nyersfehérje, ill. fehérjefrakciók (MFE, MFN), valamint a nyerszsír esetében a maximális hozamok a maximális (N3P3K3) műtrágya-kínálathoz kötődtek. 4. Összefoglalóan elmondható, hogy a bőséges vagy kielégítő trágyázással hasonló kedvező évben és tápanyagszegény talajon a nyersrost és a rostfrakciók (NDF, ADF), valamint a Nmka, nyershamu, nyerszsír és a nettóenergia mutatói (NE) 3-5-szörösére, a N-függő nyersfehérje és fehérjefrakciók (MFE, MFN) hozamai akár 7-8-szorosára növelhetők.

Azokról a farkaslaki pásztoremberekről akarok írni, akik a Gordon hegy alatti dombokon állottak napsütésben, csillagfényben, gyönyörködtek a kiviruló tavaszi határban, vagy a levélhullató őszben, de szemüket rajta tartották a legelésző juhokon, heverő kutyákon. Ott állottak az esőben, szélben, viharban is , éjjel keresték az elkódorgott juhot, ha kellett megküzdöttek a farkassal s néha a medvével is. Fejték a juhokat akkor is, ha azok lucskosak voltak, sároztatták a két lábukra feszülő fehérharisnyát, pásztortűz mellett szárítkoztak és csúcsosra húzott süveggel állották a záporokat. A közülük kiemelkedő tanult emberek éppen így állottak a dombokon, szemüket rajta tartva kis népükön.
