В настоящее время высшие базидиальные грибы рассматриваются не только как ценный пищевой продукт, но и как важный источник получения природных фармакологических веществ онкостатичного, антивирусного, иммуномоделирующего, антисклеротического, тонизирующего и др. действия. Биологическую активность большинства грибов во многом определяют соединения углеводной природы, большая часть которых представлена полисахаридами. Грибные полисахариды способствуют предотвращению онкогенеза, обладают выраженной противоопухолевой активностью в отношении различных аллогенных и сингенных опухолей и предотвращают развитие метастазов. В настоящей статье проведена сравнительная характеристика 20 штаммов 17 видов базидиальных грибов на способность к биосинтезу экзо- и эндополисахаридов. В результате проведенных исследований установлено, что наибольшее количество эндополисахаридов синтезировалось у представителей рода Ganoderma (их содержание варьировало от 4,4% до 8,0%). Наивысший процент эндополисахаридов содержался в биомассе G. lucidum 1900. Наибольшее же количество экзополисахаридов (2,2 г/л) синтезировал штамм Trametes versicolor 353. Оба штамма являются перспективными продуцентами полисахаридов.
At present, higher basidiomycetes are considered not only as a valuable food product, but also as an important source of natural pharmacological substances with oncostatic, antiviral, immunomodulating, antisclerotic, tonic, and other effects. The biological activity of most fungi is largely determined by carbohydrate compounds, most of which are represented by polysaccharides. Mushroom polysaccharides contribute to the prevention of oncogenesis, have a pronounced antitumor activity against various allogeneic and syngeneic tumors, and prevent the development of metastases. In this article, a comparative characteristic of 20 strains of 17 species of basidiomycetes for the ability to biosynthesis of exo- and endopolysaccharides was carried out. As a result, it was found that the largest amount of endopolysaccharides was synthesized by Ganoderma fungi (their content varied from 4.4% to 8.0%). The highest yield of endopolysaccharides was determined in the biomass of G. lucidum 1900. The highest yield of exopolysaccharides (2.2 g/l) was synthesized by Trametes versicolor 353. Thus, both strains are considered as promising polysaccharides producers.

Published: October 2022

One of the first steps to initiate a technology-related business is to perceive factors that would help users accept technology. In this regard, different models have been introduced to explain technology acceptance and determine users’ needs. These theories have psychological origins and involve comprehensively cognitive backgrounds which deal with components that predict the user’s behavior. Prediction of user’s behavior which is a major element of technology development success helps clarify the latent angles of the technology and business development for the developers. In the meantime, this article reviews general concepts of technology acceptance models and theories to provide valuable data about technology acceptance and adoption. Also, the goal of this article is to train and demonstrate these theories for the readers.

Représentations de genre dans un manuel scolaire de mathématiques de première année du primaire au Québec
Authors: Lafay Anne 
Published: October 2022

Les stéréotypes concernant les capacités mathématiques selon le genre ont un impact sur différents aspects tels que les attentes des élèves ou leur capacité à réaliser des apprentissages mathématiques. Les analyses des manuels scolaires de mathématiques de divers pays dans le monde ont démontré une inégalité plus ou moins marquée des représentations entre les personnages féminins et masculins. L’objectif du présent article était d’examiner les représentations de genre dans les manuels scolaires de mathématiques utilisés au Québec avec la population franco-québécoise. Un manuel pour la première année du primaire a été analysé : les personnages illustrés ont été recensés et classifiés selon une grille d’analyse (le genre, l’activité mathématique associée, l’espace sur la page, l’apparence physique, etc.). Les résultats ont montré une réelle volonté d’égalité de représentations de genre quant aux aspects mathématiques, mais quelques différences genrées persistent (exemple : l’apparence physique).

The improvement of the social position of sex workers by Dutch municipalities. A matter of law and rule?
In this article, based on a case study in three Dutch municipalities (Groningen, Tilburg and Zwolle) , the author analyzes in a structured manner what municipalities are doing to improve the social position of sex workers, and what the role of legislation and regulations is in this regard. Central to this are the four resources that are associated with the concept of social position and its improvement: social capital, cultural capital, economic capital and personal capital. Municipal activities that contribute to improving the social position of sex workers in that area are explained for each resource. This is followed by an exploration of the role of legislation and regulations in improving the position of sex workers, in which the author studies the extent to which ‘hard’ side of the policy – the legislation and regulations – is congruent with the ‘soft’ side of the policy – that part of the sex work policy that is not shaped by legislation and regulations, such as the financing of various aid organizations and social initiatives. This makes it clear that legislation and regulations not only contribute to improving the position of sex workers, they also work against them.

Published: October 2022

Background: The ideal suture technique and type in tendon repair remain unclear. This biomechanical study aimed to assess the biomechanical characteristics of three techniques—modified Kessler (mKE), modified Krackow (mKR), and modified tension Bunnell (mtBU)—in sheep Achilles tendon tear repair using three suture types—polypropylene, polyester, and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)—which are also compared.
Methods: Sixty-three Achilles tendons harvested from sheep were transversely hacked as a replacement for rupture in a standardized measure and repaired using mKE, mKR, and mtBU techniques with No. 2 polypropylene, polyester, and UHMWPE sutures. Biomechanical parameters, such as Young’s modulus, ultimate strength, and strength to the 5-mm gap, were recorded for statistical analysis.
Results: The mtBU technique with UHMWPE use resulted in increased ultimate strength, strength to 5-mm gap, Young’s modulus, and quantity of specimens with low clinical failure modes compared with the other techniques with other suture materials. Furthermore, mtBU has the lowest thickness at the repair side of the tendons. This approach showed tendon failure during maximal traction testing, whereas the mKE and mKR techniques had polyethylene and polyester suture failures.
Conclusions: The UHMWPE suture was significantly superior to the other sutures in each technique in terms of strength and durability. The mtBU technique using UHMWPE suture showed better biomechanical results, implying that this repair might be more appropriate to obtain early mobilization after tendon ruptures.
“I’m More Comfortable with a Wide-Fit Shoe” The Footwear Needs and Preferences of Older Adults in Racket Sports
Authors: Reeves Joanna E. , Williams Anita E. , Dixon Sharon Jane 
Published: October 2022

Background: Physical activity is important throughout the lifespan. Racket sports are popular with older adults and offer important social benefits. It is unknown how the physiologic changes attributable to aging affect lower limb loading during multidirectional sports and how this may influence footwear requirements. The purpose of this work was to explore the footwear needs and preferences of older adults in racket sports to inform footwear design and development.
Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted online with 16 participants (56–92 years of age) who typically play racket sports at least once per week. Thematic analysis was used to group basic themes into organizing themes.
Results: The organizing themes were comfort (general comfort, pain-free, and cushioning), functionality (relating to the structure of the shoe and performance), and choice (mostly around the appearance of the shoe). Comfort was a key priority for the majority of participants, although it was often stressed that the footwear must also be supportive. Support was frequently defined in relation to preventing ankle sprains; however, when asked directly about managing injury risk, avoiding certain shots and appropriate grip were mentioned over support. More than half of participants reported needing a wide-fitting sport shoe, which limited the footwear selection available to them.
Conclusions: This study provides novel insight into the footwear requirements of active older adults, which can inform the development of footwear to facilitate safe and pain-free participation in sport for all.

Organic and inorganic farm inputs in the form of fertilizers is a management practice to improve soil fertility for the growth and development of cultivated crops. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth, yield and shelf-life response of cucumber (Classico F1 and Poinsett-76) to fertilizer applications. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in split plots with three repetitions of the treatments; Control (To: No fertilizer application), poultry manure (T1:20t ha-1), urban waste compost (T2:20t ha-1), NPK-20-10-10 (T3:0.7t ha-1), poultry manure (10t ha-1)+NPK-20-10-10 (0.35t ha-1) (T4), poultry manure (10t ha-1)+urban waste compost (10t ha-1) (T5), urban waste compost (10t ha-1)+NPK-20-10-10 (0.35t ha-1) (T6). Collected data on growth and yield variables from emergence till harvest were analyzed for variation in R version 4.0.1. Results showed that variety and fertilizer had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on all growth variables with Classico F1 variety recording the highest mean values for all growth and yield variables. T1 recorded the highest in all growth variables (vine length, No. of leaves and stem diameter), except for the leaf area in T5 of Classico F1 (404.20 cm2) with the lowest in T0 of Poinsett-76 (87.87cm2). Variety, fertilizer treatments and interactions showed significant effects (P < 0.05) on yield variables. Classico F1 was superior to Poinsett-76, yielding 31.91tha-1 in T1 while Poinsett-76 produced 20.36tha-1 in the same treatment. The lowest yield was recorded in the control treatments (4.45 tha-1 for Poinsett-76 and 7.55 tha-1 for Classico F1). Shelf-life evaluation showed the highest weight loss (20%) in fruits obtained in NPK-20-10-10 treatments within 21 days of storage. These results revealed that the integration of poultry manure or urban waste compost and chemical fertilizer (NPK-20-10-10) improves the growth and yield of cucumber as well as the shelf-life of harvested fruits in the western highlands of Cameroon.

Published: October 2022

The finitude and environmental impact of petroleum fuels have led to the search of alternative fuels and biodiesel has proven to be an alternative fuel to petro-diesel with less environmental impact. Engine performance and exhaust emissions of Sandbox Methyl Ester (SBME) fuel were evaluated. Pure SBME (B100) was blended with diesel at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50% volume designated B5, B10, B15, B20, B25 and B50 respectively. The diesel was used as a reference fuel. The fuel blends (B100-B5) and diesel was used to power a 4-stroke-single-cylinder diesel engine coupled to a dynamometer and a 7.5 kW alternator with varying loads. The brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc), brake power, thermal efficiency, carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and hydrocarbon emissions were evaluated. The results of no-load to full-load indicated that diesel utilized the lowest bsfc of 0.14-0.62 kg/kW.h to produce the highest brake power of 5.6-3.7 kW. Similarly, the range of B5-B25 utilized bsfc of 0.16-0.86 kg/kW.h to produce the brake power of 5.1-2.9 kW. The brake thermal efficiency was 58-14% for diesel, and 52-10% for B5-B25. CO emission was reduced to 38.24-11.11% for B5 and 64.71-55.56% for B100. HC emission was reduced to 9.09-5.56% for B5 and 45.45-30.56% for B100. NOx emission increased with SBME concentration. The results obtained for the SBME engine performance and exhaust emissions established it as a potential fuel to power internal combustion engines.

Published: October 2022

ImportanceArterial hypertension is associated with an increased incidence of epilepsy. Results from animal studies suggest that angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy could inhibit epileptic seizures. However, there is a lack of clinical data to support the use of ARB therapy in humans.ObjectiveTo assess whether ARB therapy is associated with a decreased incidence of epilepsy in patients with hypertension.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study obtained data from the Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA) on patients aged 18 years or older who had hypertension and at least 1 antihypertensive drug prescription. Patients were treated at 1274 general practices between January 2010 and December 2020 in Germany. Data were available for 1 553 875 patients who had been prescribed at least 1 antihypertensive drug. Patients diagnosed with epilepsy before or up to 3 months after the index date were excluded. A total of 168 612 patients were included in propensity score matching. Patients treated with 1 of 4 antihypertensive drug classes (β-blockers, ARBs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers [CCBs]) were matched to each other using propensity scores.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome of the study was the incidence of epilepsy associated with ARB therapy compared with other antihypertensive drug classes. Cox regression models were used to study the association between the incidence of epilepsy and ARBs compared with all other antihypertensive drug classes as a group.ResultsThe study included a total of 168 612 patients, with 42 153 in each antihypertensive drug class. The mean [SD] age of patients was 62.3 [13.5] years, and 21 667 (51.4%) were women. The incidence of epilepsy within 5 years was lowest among patients treated with ARBs (0.27% at 1 year, 0.63% at 3 years, 0.99% at 5 years) and highest among patients receiving β-blockers and CCBs (0.38% for both β-blockers and CCBs at 1 year; 0.91% for β-blockers and 0.93% for CCBs at 3 years; β-blockers, 1.47%; and CCBs, 1.48% at 5 years). Angiotensin receptor blocker therapy was associated with a significantly decreased incidence of epilepsy (hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.65-0.90) compared with the other drug classes as a group.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study of patients with hypertension, ARB therapy was associated with a significantly decreased incidence of epilepsy. The findings suggest antihypertensive drugs could be used as a novel approach for preventing epilepsy in patients with arterial hypertension.
