The roadmaps aim at including policy headlines/priorities as well as local needs and plural variations of collectivity to ensure a sustainable food system transition. The roadmaps are composed of two scalar levels one of which is macro-level; Nilüfer Food Policy Roadmap while the other is micro-level; Nilüfer Living Lab Roadmap
Boundary Analysis of Control Systems using Schwarz Lemma
Authors: Örnek Bülent Nafi , Düzenli Timur 
Published: June 2022

In this paper, Schwarz lemma at the boundary is considered for analysis of transfer functions used in control systems. Two theorems are presented with their proofs by performing boundary analysis of the derivative of positive real functions evaluated at the origin. Considering that the transfer function,H(s) , is an analytic function defined on the right half of the s- plane, inequalities for |H(0)| are obtained by assuming that is also analytic at the boundary point s=0 on the imaginary axis with H(0)=0. Finally, the sharpness of these inequalities is proved. As result of the sharpness analysis, different extremal functions corresponding to different transfer functions are obtained. The related block diagrams and root-locus curves are also presented for considered transfer functions. According to the root-locus diagrams, marginally stable transfer functions are obtained as the natural results of the theorems proposed in the study.
OS ARGUMENTOS ECONÔMICOS E AS LIMITAÇÕES AO SEU USO
Authors: Vidal Bernardo , Jorge Neto Nagibe De Melo 
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo tem busca entender melhor o que são argumentos econômicos, e qual espaço eles ocupam na argumentação jurídica. Primeiro, delimitar-se-áo conceito de argumentos econômicos. Em seguida, será analisada a relação entre o argumento econômico e o argumento jurídico. Por fim, será abordada a questão da prova ou da força dos argumentos econômicos. Os argumentos econômicos, em última análise, são argumentos de fato, no sentido de que são produzidos a partir de fatos. Do ponto de vista da argumentação jurídica, argumentos de fato não podem ser utilizados sem que se verifique a verdade dos fatos. Sendo assim, é necessário provar os fatos que estruturam os argumentos econômicos. Como, então deve se dar essa prova? Utilizando-se de pesquisa jurisprudencial, analisar-se-ão julgados do Supremo Tribunal Federal que utilizaram argumentos econômicos, para concluir que seu uso deve ser compatibilizado com os valores trazidos pela norma jurídica, sendo de fundamental importância que tenham fundamentos fáticos substanciosos, como estudos empíricos ou base de dados transparentes que possam ser verificados pelas partes em litígio e pela sociedade como um todo. Do contrário, o argumento econômico torna-se fraco e contribui para deslegitimar a decisão judicial.TRANSLATE with x EnglishArabicHebrewPolishBulgarianHindiPortugueseCatalanHmong DawRomanianChinese SimplifiedHungarianRussianChinese TraditionalIndonesianSlovakCzechItalianSlovenianDanishJapaneseSpanishDutchKlingonSwedishEnglishKoreanThaiEstonianLatvianTurkishFinnishLithuanianUkrainianFrenchMalayUrduGermanMalteseVietnameseGreekNorwegianWelshHaitian CreolePersian // TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster PortalBack//

Published: June 2022

Background
There is growing interest in understanding gut microbiome dynamics, to increase the sustainability of livestock production systems and to better understand the dynamics that regulate antibiotic resistance genes (i.e., the resistome). High-throughput sequencing of RNA transcripts (RNA-seq) from microbial communities (metatranscriptome) allows an unprecedented opportunity to analyze the functional and taxonomical dynamics of the expressed microbiome and emerges as a highly informative approach. However, the isolation and preservation of high-quality RNA from livestock fecal samples remains highly challenging. This study aimed to determine the impact of the various sample storage and RNA extraction strategies on the recovery and integrity of microbial RNA extracted from selected livestock (chicken and pig) fecal samples.

Methods
Fecal samples from pigs and chicken were collected from conventional slaughterhouses. Two different storage buffers were used at two different storage temperatures. The extraction of total RNA was done using four different commercially available kits and RNA integrity/quality and concentration were measured using a Bioanalyzer 2100 system with RNA 6000 Nano kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). In addition, RT-qPCR was used to assess bacterial RNA quality and the level of host RNA contamination.

Results
The quantity and quality of RNA differed by sample type (i.e., either pig or chicken) and most significantly by the extraction kit, with differences in the extraction method resulting in the least variability in pig feces samples and the most variability in chicken feces. Considering a tradeoff between the RNA yield and the RNA integrity and at the same time minimizing the amount of host RNA in the sample, a combination of storing the fecal samples in RNALater at either 4 °C (for 24 h) or −80 °C (up to 2 weeks) with extraction with PM kit (RNEasy Power Microbiome Kit) had the best performance for both chicken and pig samples.

Conclusion
Our findings provided a further emphasis on using a consistent methodology for sample storage, duration as well as a compatible RNA extraction approach. This is crucial as the impact of these technical steps can be potentially large compared with the real biological variability to be explained in microbiome and resistome studies.

Severe Oligospermia Treatment with Testicular Sperm Using “ICSI”
Authors: Zakaria Mustafa , Al-ibraheemi Aya , Senhaji Wassym , Ennaji Mohammed , Louanjli Noureddine , Zarqaoui Mohammed 
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Assisted reproductive technology has been developed significantly throughout the past few years, particularly diagnosing and treating male infertility. Many studies have been performed showing that Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a successful method to attain clinical pregnancy and live birth through impaired spermatozoa characteristics or low sperm count, such as severe oligospermia. Severe oligospermia indicates low sperm count, which in some cases leads to azoospermia. Severe oligospermia can be caused by several factors such as genetics or medication. In search of efficient treatment for couples with Severe oligospermia, numerous retrospective and prospective researches have reported high pregnancy and live birth rates through testicular sperm for men with severe oligospermia and cryptozoospermia with or without high sperm DNA damage. The research showed that the use of testicular sperm in combination with ICSI yielded a high pregnancy rate and live births over another source of sperm, such as ejaculated sperms. Moreover, the use of ICSI in severe oligospermia has shown successful fertilization and pregnancy.
Methods: In search for effective treatment for couples with severe male factor, a number of small retrospective and prospective studies have reported high pregnancy and live birth rates using testicular sperm for men with necrozoospermia, cryptozoospermia and oligozoospermia with or without elevated sperm DNA damage. Although the data suggest that there may be some benefit in performing testicular sperm retrieval (TSR)-ICSI in select groups of non-azoospermic infertile men, there are potential risks involved with TSR. Clinicians should balance these risks prior to the recommendation of TSR-ICSI on the result of a semen analysis or sperm DNA test alone. Careful evaluation and management of male factor infertility is important. The use of TSR-ICSI in the absence of specific sperm DNA defects is still experimental.
Discussion: In 1992 and subsequently, several reports indicated that ICSI was a successful technique to achieve clinical pregnancy and live birth using spermatozoa with severely impaired characteristics. The initial optimism over the ability of ICSI to overcome significant sperm abnormalities was later tempered by the findings of more recent publications suggesting that some sperm deficits may not be as effectively treated with ICSI.
Conclusion: Severe oligospermia indicates low sperm count, which can lead to male infertility; severe oligospermia which can be overcome through ICSI. Genetic factors like microdeletions of the Y chromosome (Yq) can cause severe oligospermia or chemotherapy molecules, affecting the sperm count directly.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: The present study is aimed at assessing the effect of bitter cassava on blood biochemical parameters of konzo disease induced Wistar rats. Nutritional modification with suphur rich amino acids was used as a measure to correct the impact in rats induced konzo disease. Method: 25 adult male wistar rats were assigned to 5 experimental groups (i) Control n=5, (ii) cassava only n=5, (iii) cassava + animal feed n=5, (iv) cassava + Eggshell + Brown beans n=5, (v) Eggshell + Brown Beans only n=5. The bitter cassava foods were taken by oral ingestion for a period of 4 weeks. The weights of the rats were checked through the experiment and blood samples were taken from each group into EDTA-lined containers and analyses for blood cyanide, methionine and cysteine levels.
Results: There was significant difference in weight and there was a progressive increase in their success rate as against the cassava only group which decreased in their success rate, hence, differs statistically and significantly (p˂0.05) from the control group. It was observed that the cassava fed group had higher blood level of cyanide far above the normal blood reference range (2.60 – 2.90µg/ml) for cyanides, hence, was seen to be statistically significant as compared to that of the control group. The eggshell and brown beans only group showed high blood levels of methionine that statistically differ significantly (p<0.05) from both the control group and the cassava only group. Blood level of cysteine in the cassava plus eggshell and brown beans group differed significant statistically from the control group.
Conclusion: Sulphur amino acids such as methionine and cysteine are essential for detoxification of the residual cyanogens remaining in insufficiently processed cassava roots. Foods such as cereals and legumes as source of sulphur amino acids should be promoted to prevent paralytic neurotoxico-nutritional disease such as konzo among the poor population.

Published: June 2022

ObjectiveTo investigate associations of dietary vitamin K intake with changes in knee symptoms and structures in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsParticipants with symptomatic knee OA were enrolled (n = 259) and followed up for 2 years (n = 212). Baseline dietary vitamin K intake was calculated from a validated food frequency questionnaire. Knee symptoms were assessed by using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores. Knee cartilage defects, bone marrow lesions, and effusion‐synovitis volume were measured from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Univariable and multivariable linear regressions were used for analyses.ResultsA higher vitamin K intake quartile was significantly associated with a greater decrease in the total WOMAC score and dysfunction score over 24 months. The subgroup analyses showed in patients with severe baseline visual analog scale (VAS) pain that a higher vitamin K intake quartile was associated with more improvement in all WOMAC scores. There were no overall significant associations between vitamin K intake and changes in MRI features. In subgroup analysis, vitamin K intake was negatively associated with changes in tibiofemoral, patellar, and total cartilage defects in participants with a severe baseline radiographic grade and was negatively associated with change in total and patellar cartilage defects in participants with severe baseline VAS pain and in female patients.ConclusionThe association of higher vitamin K intake with decreased knee symptoms over 24 months in patients with knee OA suggests that clinical trials examining the effect of vitamin K supplementation for knee OA symptoms are warranted. Whether there is an effect on knee structure is unclear.
