Authors: Roberts Eliot C. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The topic “non-baccalaureate programs” has received increasing attention during the past year. The September 1968 issue of the Journal of the National Association of Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture features papers on this subject. The committee on Less-Than-Baccalaureate Degree Programs in Agriculture sponsored by RICOP issued proceedings of an October 1968 conference held at Pennsylvania State University entitled A National Conference for Less-Than-Baccalaureate Degree Programs in Agriculture. Interest in these programs reflects the need of the agricultural industry for the services of graduates at this level.
Why We Need Black-feminist Poetry
Authors: Foscolo Guilherme , Adão Alessandra Barbosa 
Published: September 2022

This essay aims at a double goal: reconstructing the problem of how Enlightenment created and sharpened the conceptual weapons that made possible the European colonialist/slavery-machine (reframing thus universal history as a project of universalization of European/colonialist reason); and arguing how black-feminist poetry plays a fundamental anti-colonial role not only in exposing/forcing into review colonialist/racist thought, but also in creating non-totalitarian worlds of possibilities. Mostly, these two poles are put in motion in a non-systematic argumentative movement: our medium of/for reflection are an assembly of Theodor Adorno’s philosophy and black-feminist poetry and thought. The analyses of Brazilian black-feminist inventions – particularly, Conceição Evaristo’s concept of “escrevivência”, Priscila Rezende’s Bombril (2010) performance and Tamara Franklin’s videoclip for Wakanda (2019) – is meant to allow for an innovative take on Adorno’s concept of art as social monad, which will be revisited in view of the key-concepts of technopolitics/technopoiesis.

ObjectivesGiven the impact of colonization and responding to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, we aimed to provide baseline measures of First Nations children’s health and social outcomes in Manitoba, Canada. We also aimed to create a research process where Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers work collaboratively and in culturally safe ways.
ApproachWe formed a team consisting of members of First Nation organizations and academic researchers. Knowledge Keepers from Anishinaabe, Cree, Anishininew, Dakota and Dene Nations guided the study, interpreted results and ensured meaningful knowledge translation. This retrospective cohort study utilized population-based health, social services, education and justice administrative data that allowed de-identified individual-level linkages across all databases through a scrambled health number. Adjusted rates and rate ratios were calculated using a generalized liner modeling approach to compare First Nations children (n=61,726) and all other Manitoba children (n=279,087) and comparing First Nations children living on and off-reserve.
ResultsLarge disparities between First Nations and other Manitoba children were found in birth outcomes, physical and mental health, health services, education, social services, justice system involvement and mortality. First Nations infants had higher rates of preterm births, large-for-gestational-age births, newborn readmissions to hospital and lower rates of breastfeeding initiation compared with other Manitoba infants. Suicide rates among First Nations adolescents were ten times higher than among other adolescents in Manitoba, yet we found few differences in diagnosis of mood and anxiety disorders between the groups. First Nations children were also seven times more likely to apprehended by child protection services and youth were ten times more likely to be criminally accused. Knowledge Keepers offered their perspectives on these findings.
ConclusionThese findings demonstrate that an enormous amount of work is required in virtually every area – health, social, education and justice – to improve First Nations children’s lives. There is an urgent need for equitable access to services, and these services should be self-determined, planned and implemented by First Nations people.

Authors: Varjakoski Hanna , Tiilikainen Elisa , Laulainen Sanna , Ruonavaara Hannu 
Published: September 2022

Ikääntyvien naapurisuhteita koskeva tutkimus on keskittynyt pääosin siihen, millaista tukea naapurustot tarjoavat ikääntyville asukkailleen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelemme ikääntyvien itsensä näkemyksiä ja kokemuksia oman naapurustonsa hyväksi toimimisesta. Kysymme, millä tavoin ikääntyneet vuokrataloasukkaat toimivat naapurustonsa voimavarana ja millaisia reunaehtoja ja haasteita naapuruston voimavarana toimimiseen liittyy. Tutkimusaineistona toimii kahden suurehkon kaupungin vuokrataloissa asuvien 65-73-vuotiaiden henkilöiden laadulliset haastattelut (N=28). Aineisto on analysoitu teemattista sisällönanalyysiä hyödyntäen. Tulosten mukaan ikääntyvien asukkaiden voimavarainen toiminta rakentuu erityisesti seuraavien toimintojen ympärille: 1) läsnäolo ja näkyminen naapurustossa, 2) naapureiden auttaminen ja tukeminen, 3) fyysisestä asuinympäristöstä huolehtiminen sekä 4) asukasaktiivitoiminta. Voimavaraisen toiminnan mahdollistumiseen vaikuttivat puolestaan monet kulttuuriset, yksilölliset sekä fyysiseen ja sosiaaliseen asuinympäristöön liittyvät tekijät. Tutkimuksen tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää ikääntyvien asukkaiden voimavaraisen toiminnan ylläpitämisessä ja tukemisessa yhteiskunnan eri sektoreilla.
Being present, helping others, taking care of the garden and participating in residential activities – older adults’ experiences on acting as a resource in their neighbourhood
Research on neighbour relations in later life has mostly focused on how neighbourhoods can provide support for their older residents. In this article, however, we examine the ways in which older adults act as a recourse in their own neighbourhood while also mapping the possible preconditions and challenges that may hinder the utilization of this resource. The data consists of qualitative interviews (N=28) carried out among 65-73-year-old residents living in rental apartments of two fairly large Finnish cities. The data were analysed using thematic content analysis. The results show that the older residents act as a resource in the following ways: 1) presence and being seen in the neighbourhood; 2) helping and supporting neighbours; 3) taking care of the physical environment; and 4) participating in the resident activities. The ability to act as a resource was impacted by several cultural and individual factors, as well as factors related to the physical and social environment. The results may be utilized throughout different sectors when aiming to support older residents' ability to act as a resource in their own communities.

The Improvement of Phytomediation on the Treatment Effectiveness of Heavy Metals with Energy Sunflower Plants with Calcium Peroxide and Phytohormones
Authors: Yeh T. Y. , Wu Min-Hao , Chen K. F. , Peng Y. P. 
Published: September 2022

Phytomediation is an environmentally friendly green rehabilitation technology that is often incorporated with an application to improve calcium peroxide and phytohormones required for the growth of agricultural plants with the expectation to improve the effectiveness of plant rehabilitation. This study mainly consists of two parts: (1) water culture experiment and (2) pot culture experiment. In the water culture experiment, we attempt to understand the influence of the addition of calcium peroxide, phytohormones (IAA and GA3) and a chelating agent on the growth of sunflower plants. However, in the pot culture experiment, when hormones and the chelating agent EDTA are introduced to different plant groups at the same time, if the nutrition in the water required by plants is not available, the addition of the hormone cannot negate the toxicity caused by EDTA. In terms of calcium peroxide, due to quick release of oxygen in water, this study fails to apply calcium peroxide to the water culture experiment.When the pot culture experiment is used to examine the influence of hormones at different concentration levels on the growth of sunflowers, GA3 10-8 M is reported to have the optimal effectiveness, followed by IAA 10-8 M; IAA 10-12 M has the lowest effectiveness. According to an accumulation analysis of heavy metals at different levels, GA3 concentrates in leaves to transport nutrition in soil to leaves. This results in an excellent TF value of 2.329G of GA3 than 1.845 of the control group indicating that the addition of the hormone and chelating agent to GA3 increases the TF value and the chelating agent is beneficial to the sunflower plant. If we examine phytoattenuation ability, the one-month experiment was divided into three stages for ten days each. The concentration level of heavy metals in the soil at each stage dropped continuously while that of the control group decreased from 31.63 mg/kg to 23.96 mg/kg, GA3 from 32.09 mg/kg to 23.04 mg/kg and EDTA from 30.65 mg/kg to 25.93 mg/kg indicating the quickest growth period of the sunflowers from the formation of the bud to blossom. During the stage, the quick upward transportation of nutrition results in quick accumulation of heavy metals; the accumulated speed of heavy metals is found higher than that of directly planted plants. This study shows an improvement in the effectiveness of the addition of hormones on plant extraction and when rehabilitation is incorporated with sunflowers with the beginning bud formation, better treatment effectiveness can be reached.

Authors: Qi Zhantao , Zhu Guangyu , Yu Bingbing , Liu Hongna , Lv Yong 
Published: September 2022

Objective: The influence of climate on forest stands cannot be ignored, but most of the previous forest stand growth models were constructed under the presumption of invariant climate and could not estimate the stand growth under climate change. The model was constructed to provide a theoretical basis for forest operators to take reasonable management measures for fir under the influence of climate. Methods: Based on the survey data of 638 cedar plantation plots in Hunan Province, the optimal base model was selected from four biologically significant alternative stand basal area models, and the significant climate factors without serious covariance were selected by multiple stepwise regression analysis. The optimal form of random effects was determined, and then a model with climatic effects was constructed for the cross-sectional growth of fir plantations. Results: Richards formula is the optimal form of the basic model of stand basal area growth. The coefficient of adjustment was 0.8355; the average summer maximum temperature and the water vapor loss in Hargreaves climate affected the maximum and rate of fir stand stand growth respectively, and were negatively correlated with the stand growth. The adjusted coefficient of determination of the fir stand area break model with climate effects was 0.8921, the root mean square error (RMSE) was 3.0792, and the mean relative error absolute value (MARE) was 9.9011; compared with the optimal base model, improved by 6.77%, RMSE decreased by 19.04%, and MARE decreased by 15.95%. Conclusion: The construction of the stand cross-sectional area model with climate effects indicates that climate has a significant influence on stand growth, which supports the rationality of considering climate factors in the growth model, and it is important for the regional stand growth harvest and management of cedar while improving the accuracy and applicability of the model.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Reed biomass is a widespread resource available in large quantities all over the world, it is fast growing, there is no need for cultivation, harvesting and use des not compete with any other industries. Despite all this, reed is still not widely used and many potential use alternatives have not been researched. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate reed biomass use alternatives for sustainable resource management. A combination of multicriteria analysis methods was used to achieve the goal, which includes assessment of different, mutually incomparable factors, also considering the importance of each of them. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to verify the results. Complex index was developed to evaluate the commercialization potential of each alternative. The best alternatives for reed biomass use are in energy and construction sector, however some innovative products also have promising results. Biorefinery concept is most promising for commercialization of reed biomass in Latvia, however further studies should be carried out to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of reed biomass as a resource for bioeconomy and sustainable development in Latvia.

Authors: Dlaka Domagoj , Vavro Hrvoje , Romić Dominik , Almahariq Fadi , Chudy Darko , Lukšić Ivica , Raguž Marina 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma (SSDH) is a rare condition and causes of acute spinal cord compression, with symptoms varying from mild to severe neurological deficit. SSDH could occur as a consequence of posttraumatic, iatrogenic, or spontaneous causes, including underlying arteriovenous malformations, tumors, or coagulation disorder. Due to its rarity, it is difficult to establish standardized treatment. We present a rare case of SSDH in COVID-19 patient and course of treatment in COVID hospital.

Case Description:
A 71-year-old female patient was admitted due to instability, weakness of the left leg, and intensive pain in the upper part of thoracic spine as well as mild respiratory symptoms of COVID-19. She was not on pronounced anticoagulant therapy and her coagulogram at admission was within normal range. MRI revealed acute subdural hematoma at the level C VII to Th III compressing the spinal cord. The patient underwent a decompressive Th I and Th II laminectomy and hematoma evacuation. Post-operative MRI revealed a satisfactory decompression and re-expansion of the spinal cord. COVID-19 symptoms remained mild.

Conclusion:
SSDH represents a neurological emergency, possibly leading to significant deficit and requires urgent recognition and treatment. One of the main difficulties when diagnosing is to consider such condition when there is no history of anticoagulant treatment or previous trauma. Since high incidence of coagulation abnormalities and thromboembolic events was described COVID-19 patients, when considering the pathology of the central nervous system, the bleeding within it due to COVID-19 should be taken into account, in both brain and spine.

Authors: Denysenko A. I. , Cherniy V. I. 
Published: September 2022

Objective. To study perioperative changes in hemodynamics, the oxygen state and metabolism in patients, suffering an acute calculous cholecystitis, and to determine the methods of their correction.
Materials and methods. The investigation was based on 131 patients, suffering an acute calculous cholecystitis, to whom laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesy was performed. The risk value, determined in accordance to classification of American Society of Anesthesiologists, have constituted Class II-ІV. The patients were divided into two groups. The first one have consisted of 63 patients, in whom intensive therapy, directed on support of vital functions, was conducted, while in a second group (68 patients) the data of indirect calorimetry were used additionally.
Results. On the stage of the patients staying in reverse position of Trendelenburg, the adjustment of pneumoperitoneum and the operation beginning the lowering of hemodynamics indices, the oxygen state and metabolic disorders have had more pronounced features in patients of the first group, and their restoration was more durable. The second group patients on background of powered infusion therapy and introduction of glucocorticoids were restored more intensively, they woke up more early, the intensive department stay was shorter, emesis and regurgitation have occurred in them in 2.4 times more rarely, and severity of postoperative pain after waking up was lower (р < 0.05).
Conclusion. In patients, suffering an acute calculous cholecystitis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is more secure on background of the hemodynamics, the oxygen state and metabolism corrected.
Substantiation of application of «nonrebundant» and «tension-free» principles in hernioabdominoplasty in patients, suffering hernias and ventral deformities
Authors: Kot A. O. 
Published: September 2022

Objective. Clinical assessment of combined application of the calculated dermolipectomy with improved hernioabdominoplasty in treatment of patients, suffering hernias and external abdominal deformities, who have excessive tissues of abdominal wall.
Materials and methods. The investigation is based on data of paraoperative examinations and own results of surgical treatment of 67 patients with hernias and external abdominal deformities. Rational methods of their operating were substantiated on background of morphometric characteristics, determined in accordance to the ventral deformity dimensions, and percentages of adipose-containing, fibrous-cicatricial and pathological components content.
Results. The program unit «Statistica 6.1» was applied for statistical elaboration of the results obtained. Algorithm of quantitative investigations of the ventral tissues excessives, which have had predominantly supraaponeurotic localization, was elaborated for the first time. Preoperatively calculated volumes of preventive dermo- and fibrolipectomies, which were performed together with hernio- and abdominoplasties in accordance to new principle «without excesses of parahernial tissues» in various hernias and venral deformities, have reduced essentially the local complications rate - to 2% (р < 0.05) and improved the indices of quality of life and the patients’ health.
Conclusion. Practical application of the «tension-free» and «nonrebundant» principles in operating of hernias constitute the base for further elaborations of reconstructive-plastic interventions and a real component of the problem decision in medico-social and esthetic rehabilitation of certain herniological patients.
The choice between lymphatic dissection in phthisio-surgical interventions, basing on densitometric characteristics
Authors: Maietnyi E. M. 
Published: September 2022

Objective. To determine the application possibilities of objective criteria for volume and spectrum of lymphatic dissection in phthisiatric interventions.
Materials and methods. The work was based on results of the treatment analysis of 275 patients, suffering phthisio-surgical pathology, in whom densitonetric indices of pulmonary parenchyma and mediastinal lymphatic nodes were investigated.
Results. There was established, that the changed densitometric indices of mediastinal lymph nodes may characterize the prevalence of specific pulmonary process objectively and to present the criteria of choice for the necessary lymphatic dissection borders in phthisio-surgical interventions. If in the affected parts of pulmonary parenchyma the minimal densitometric meanings of 15 U of Hounsfield (HU) are determined, the ipsilateral lymphatic nodes ablation is indicated, while in 15 HU and higher – the ablation of partial and segmentary lymphatic nodes during the operative intervention. Lymphatic dissection was not performed if the pulmonary parenchyma densitometric indices in specific pulmonary process have exceeded 55 HU.
Conclusion. Lymphatic dissection in phthisio-surgical interventions («sampling») may be performed in accordance to objective criteria for lowering of the occurrence risk for pleuro-pulmonary complications and prevention of nonsubstantiated extension of operative intervention.

Published: September 2022

Objective. To propose the prognostication method for the complications occurrence after operative interventions, basing on application of multiparametric neuro-web clasterisation with subsequent elaboration of scale for their development risk stratification.
Materials and methods. The indices of examination were analyzed in 411 patients, suffering obliterating atherosclerosis of main arteries of the lower extremities. The neuro-web clasterization, using a software raising NeuroXL Classifier, was conducted for more deep analysis of concomitant changes in the indices investigated for the risk prognostication optimization of the morbidity development in postoperative period.
Results. The scale of the risk stratification for development of postoperative complications after interventions on the main arteries of the lower extremities proposed, takes into account multifactor character of clinic-anamnestic and laboratory-instrumental investigations. Taking into account the concomitant factors presence, which characterize the organs and systems state, they impact the choice of method of reconstructive operative intervention.
Conclusion. Basing on data of the neuro-web clasterization, it is possible to prognosticate the complcations after operative intervention on the main arteries of the lower extremities. There were delineated four levels of the complications development risk in postoperative period: very high – 31-40 points, high – 21-30 points, moderate – 11-20 points, and low – 1-10 points.
