Authors: Rovere Adriana 
Published: September 2022

Introducción: En áreas urbanas, los canteros con especies ornamentales, brindan estructura y color, atraen polinizadores, funcionan como corredores ecológicos, acercan la naturaleza, y ofrecen bienestar a los seres humanos. La flora urbana, puede ser reservorio de biodiversidad, o fuente de invasiones según los criterios de selección.
Objetivos: Se estimó la riqueza de especies, formas de vida, familias botánicas y origen de las plantas utilizadas en canteros de Bariloche.
M&M: La ciudad de Bariloche, se halla inmersa en el Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, posee características pluriculturales. Se estudiaron 1120 canteros ubicados sobre las veredas, con distinto manejo, 560 de gestión municipal y 560 vecinal.
Resultados: La riqueza fue de 121 especies, siendo las más utilizadas Lobelia erinus (23,3%) y Clarkia amoena (19,7%). De las 54 familias botánicas representadas, las de mayor frecuencia de uso fueron Rosaceae (28,5%, repartida en 9 especies), Campanulaceae (23,7%, 2) y Compositae (20,4%, 18). Predominó el uso de plantas herbáceas (70 especies), seguidas por arbustos (43), renovales arbóreos (6), y enredaderas (2). Los vecinos manejan mayor diversidad de plantas y especies nativas (92 especies/11 nativas), que el municipio (64/4). La presencia de elementos nativos (e.g., Alstroemeria aurea y Fucsia magellanica) tiene implicancias para la conservación; mientras que las especies invasoras representan riesgo (e.g., Hedera helix y Cytisus scoparius) y deberían ser controladas.
Conclusiones: Se concluye que la flora de los canteros representa parte del paisaje biocultural de la región, como escenarios dinámicos construidos a lo largo del tiempo, presentando similitudes con los patrones de selección a nivel mundial.
Las maderas nativas en la arquitectura vernácula de la Puna Jujeña, Argentina: ¿continuidad o reemplazo?
Authors: Barbarich Maria Florencia 
Published: September 2022

Introducción: Las técnicas de construcción con tierra tuvieron una alta relevancia para la producción de la arquitectura en toda el área andina. Se trata de un conjunto de prácticas y saberes diversos, integrado en una cultura constructiva indisociable de otros aspectos de la vida social. Dentro de las materias primas de origen mineral, animal o vegetal y de múltiples resoluciones para cada parte de la casa, la madera es fundamental para la estructura de la cubierta. Los principales recursos vegetables maderables de la región, la queñoa (Polylepis tomentella) y especialmente el cardón (Trichocereus atacamensis) tienen un rol protagónico. El objetivo fue estudiar la vigencia de su uso en las arquitecturas actuales.
M&M: El trabajo se desarrolló en el departamento de Susques, Jujuy, desde el enfoque de la etnobotánica cualitativa, utilizando principalmente la metodología etnográfica. Se trabajó con 15 colaboradores locales, alcanzando las 100 personas en instancias grupales.
Resultados: Evidencian que el uso de estas maderas ha disminuido en los últimos años, pero su relevancia no ha perdido vigencia en el relato de los pobladores. Así mismo, demuestran que entre las causas se entremezclan leyes provinciales que prohíben su uso, menor tiempo de permanencia en el campo resultando en la interrupción de la recolección de madera y la introducción de materiales provenientes de tierras bajas.
Conclusión: La conservación del patrimonio arquitectónico implica la continuidad de ciertas prácticas e involucra materialidades específicas, su identificación y conocimiento permite su valoración y la búsqueda de estrategias para su permanencia.

Published: September 2022

The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic superiority using the estimated breeding value (EBV) and most probable producing ability (MPPA), and to elucidate the reproductive performance of dairy cows at different rearing locations. This study used data from dairy cows in two locations, namely at the breeding dairy center (Group I) for 100 heads and the smallholder farm (group II) for 40 head cows. The survey method was used in this study. The parameters observed were total milk production, days open (DO), service per conception (S/C), and calving interval (CI). The data were analyzed descriptively and using a t-test. The results showed that cows in group I had more superior genetic potential. Productivity in groups I and II for the total milk production were 5.017,52±1.096,84 and 3.922,52±1.296,55 kg/head/lactation, respectively;DO was 141,45±64,30 and 281,68±92,42 days, respectively S/C were1,47±0,61 and 1,70±0,69 times, respectively; and CI was421,59±63,47 and 565,23±95,33 days, respectively. In conclusion, differences in management systems in breeding dairy centers and smallholder farms give different productivity. The results can be used for management improvement and increasing productivity strategies. Livestock selection can be done by estimating the genetic superiority using the estimated breeding value and most probable producing ability.

This research used Completely Randomized Design in Factorial 3x 2 with the first factor was three age phase of rations administration (0-10 days old, 11-21 days old and 22-32 days old) with three replications of each age phases. The second factor was the type of cage system (closed and open house) with two cages of each cage type. The variable observed was the ammonia concentration from broiler’s manure. The Data were analyzed for their variance by Analyzes of Variance (Anova). The detailed test used Duncan Multiple Range Test. The result of this research showed that the age phases of ration administration increased the manure ammonia concentration (P<0.05). The older of age phase increased the ammonia concentration. The cage system had significant effect to ammonia concentration. The closed house system produced the ammonia concentration higher than open house cage. The technology that were used in closed house system had a positive effect to ammonia mitigation.
A Systematic Review of Cardiorespiratory Fitness Testing in Major Depression
Authors: Irvine Lachlan A. , Stanton Robert 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACTBackgroundDepression is associated with physical inactivity, low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and poor physical health compared with the general population. Various protocols are employed to determine CRF studies of people experiencing depression, but standardized methods are absent from the literature. Thus, the aim of the present review is to systematically examine the protocols reported to determine CRF in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodsReplicating a previously published search strategy, the present review sourced relevant studies from PubMed, PsycInfo, Embase, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection, and SPORTDiscus from August 2015 to February 2021. Details of CRF testing protocols were extracted into a preprepared form for analysis.ResultsTwenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria, including those from a previous review of CRF in people with MDD. Twelve included studies employed maximal testing protocols, while 11 studies reported using submaximal testing protocols. Cycle ergometry was the most used protocol, followed by treadmill and walk tests. Notably, complete descriptions of the test protocols to facilitate test replication were frequently absent.ConclusionsCycle ergometry is commonly used to assess CRF in people with MDD, but protocol details are lacking, making replication difficult. Efforts to standardize protocol descriptions are warranted.

Introduction: Transport workers have a very haphazard and incongruent schedule which makes it difficult for them to follow proper oral hygiene practices. The prevalence of tobacco habits is also found to be high due to their long periods of work and constant stress. This study aimed to assess the oral health status and tobacco habits of the government bus drivers and conductors of NWKRTC, Belagavi City, Karnataka.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 451 Government Bus drivers and other employees of NWKRTC who gave consent for the study. WHO Oral Health Assessment Form 2013 was used to record the oral health status and a self-designed, validated questionnaire was employed for recording the oral hygiene practices and tobacco-related habits. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The mean age of the employees of NWKRTC is 43.55 years and there are 414 males as compared to only 37 females. The mean DMFT score was 5.55±3.08. 228 of them had some kind of tobacco habit with guthka (25.9 percent) being the most prevalent one. 57 employees had manifestations of leukoplakia and OSMF. There was an association between tobacco habits and oral mucosal lesions as well as the DMFT score.
Conclusion: The Oral Health Status of the Government employees of NWKRTC is poor. It is further compounded by the high prevalence of tobacco habits and associated lesions and it is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Alopecia is a dermatological condition characterized by the loss or reduction of hair. Alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia are fairly common hair disorders. Hair loss causes a significant impact in person’s life which may lead to loss of self-confidence and distorted body image.
Materials and Methods: All consenting patients with alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia, presenting to the out-patient department from September 2020 to August 2021 were enrolled based on convenience sampling method in this observational study. Ethical clearance was obtained from the ethical review committee of same institute (IRC protocol no.9/2021). All patients completed the Nepali Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Studies version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Mean scores between groups were compared with Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: Out of 142 patients, there were 79 (55.6%) males and 63 (44.4%) females. There were 48 (33.8%) patients of alopecia areata while ninety-four (66.2%) had androgenetic alopecia. The mean total of Dermatology Life Quality Index score was 8.16 (±6.126). Mean score of females was 9.16±5.858 which was significantly higher than that of males 7.37±6.258 (p<0.05) and the score of the androgenetic patients (9.45±6.094) was significantly higher than that of areata patients (5.65±5.417) (p<0.001). All sub-domains of the questionnaire were impaired more in female. Increasing duration of the disease and hair loss in any first degree relative increased the impairment in quality of life significantly.
Conclusion: The quality of life in females were more affected as compared to males in both kinds of hair loss. However, patients with androgenetic alopecia had a greater impairment than patients with alopecia areata in our population.

Authors: Banerjee Indrajit , Robinson Jared , Sathian Brijesh 
Published: September 2022

The novel virus SARS-CoV-2 has plagued our earth for more than a quarter of a decade and is still currently a limiting factor in our daily lives. Of late a new dilemma is beginning to incapacitate a large populous who have been infected by the virus, this condition being termed as post COVID syndrome or Long COVID.Long COVID is becoming more prolific and common amongst those infected with COVID-19 and its development in patients does not delineate between those who have suffered from a symptomatic or an asymptomatic preliminary infection. The effect of this post COVID syndrome can be multisystemic in nature and can affect the daily cognitive abilities of the individual. It is therefore pertinent and of the upmost importance that therapeutic options against Long COVID are explored as the incidence of this condition is rising and will continue to do so in future.
Currently no definitive treatment against Long COVID has been approved and the mainstay treatment is divided into Symptomatic, Supportive and Rehabilitative treatment with self-monitoring. The crux of the current treatment trends for Long COVID is that of a multidisciplinary approach with a great portion of the treatment implicating the patient to take an active role in their recovery, self-monitoring and treatment of the syndrome. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well as the use of adaptogens has shown promising results and is advisable to be added to the treatment regimen of patients to aid in decreasing fatigue in patients suffering from post-COVID syndrome. The use of melatonin in patients suffering from insomnia and poor sleep hygiene is also advisable.

Authors: Honcharenko Oksana , Ostapenko Irina 
Published: September 2022

The key trends in the formation of innovative business and institutional support for the spread of organizational innovations are substantiated.
It has been established that in the national economy, the elements of institutional support for innovative business are regulated by various legal norms and are not characterized by systematicity, additions, changes and amendments are constantly made to the basic legal norms throughout the period of validity.
The evolutionary and institutional limitations of the development of organizational innovations and innovative business in the national economy are defined. It was established that the promising trajectory for innovative business is determined by such determinants as the formation of the global macrosystem; changes in the development of business strategies; political and social situation in the economy; ontological features of the fiscal system; the format of changes and features of the interaction between authorities and business entities; the development of network interactions of market participants; innovative state and development of business-oriented models and strategies.The importance of taking into account the specific evolutionary factors of the development of the national economy, which influence the formation of organizational innovations, is argued. The downward dynamics of the integrated innovation indices, which are proposed according to the criteria and characteristics of the influence of the current formal norms and the state of development of innovation processes in the economy, have been established.Argued key directions of institutional support of innovative business: cooperation of educational institutions and industry in the field of development and research; expansion of the share of exports in the field of information and communication technologies; increase in the efficiency of activity and the number of innovative enterprises; growth of output with a greater share of added value.Emphasis is placed on the instability of the institutional support of innovation processes, which does not contribute to the action of the built-in elements of restrictions, restraints and counterbalances and does not ensure the stabilization of effective regulatory impulses.It was established that the limited financial and institutional capacity of the state, as a key institution, does not contribute to the mobilization of resources and scientific potential to support fundamental and applied research, the implementation of the innovation process. Emphasis is placed on the importance of implementing measures that will contribute to the formation of an institutional environment for the development of organizational innovations.Theoretical and methodological provisions deepen the practical foundations of institutional support for innovative development of the national economy and innovative business.

Authors: Mohammed Sattar Jabbar  , Alrubaye Rana Th. Abd 
Published: September 2022

This research provides a novel technique for using metal organic frameworks (HKUST-1) as a gas storage system for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Iraqi vehicles to avoid the drawbacks of the currently employed method of LPG gas storage. A low-cost adsorbent called HKUST-1 was prepared and characterized in this research to investigate its ability for propane storage at different temperatures (25, 30, 35, and 40 oC) and pressures of (1-7) bar. HKUST-1 was made using a hydrothermal method and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, BET surface area, scanning electron microscopic (SEM), and Fourier Transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The HKUST-1 was produced using a hydrothermal technique and possesses a high crystallinity of up to 97%, surface area 3400 m2/g, and pore volume 0.7 cm3/g. The prepared adsorbent (HKUST-1) tested using volumetric method, the maximum adsorption capacity of propane was (10.499 mmol/g) at a temperature of 298K and a pressure of 7 bar. Furthermore, adsorption isotherm study was conducted to understand the system equilibrium (i.e., the fitting with one of the known models Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models). It was observed that the Freundlich isotherm model fitted well the experimental data. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation was used to determine the heat of adsorption, and the results revealed that the heat of adsorption increased as the propane adsorption capacity increased. The prepared HKUST-1, which has a large surface area and a high adsorption capacity, can be used as a major solution for gas storage for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Iraqi vehicles.
