Clinical characteristics of 57 patients infected with COVID-19 in Baodi area of Tianjin, China

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been spreading worldwide.Objective﻿To study the clinical characteristics of COVID-19, we included 57 real-time RT-PCR confirmed patients in Baodi area of Tianjin, China, admitted to hospital from 31 January 2020 and 22 February 2020.MethodsEpidemiological, demographic, clinical, and radiological features and laboratory data were analyzed. Patients were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR with pharyngeal swab and/or sputum samples. Some patients that presented positive results with sputum samples yielded negative results with multiple swab tests, suggesting sputum samples RT-PCR tests may be a more reliable means of positively diagnosing infected individuals.ResultsOf the 57 patients studied, three were mild and 54 were moderate in severity. None of the patients infected traveled to Wuhan indicating all studied cases were infected by human to human transmission. The most common symptoms at onset of illness were included fever (86%), cough (29.8%), myalgia or fatigue (14%), chest tightness (5.3%), sore throat (5.3%), and diarrhea (5.3%). ConclusionCompared with patients of COVID-19 in Wuhan, the symptoms of patients in Baodi area of Tianjin province are relatively mild.
Habermas and Foucault: Thinkers for civil society?

Vaclav Havel observed that a strong civil society is a crucial condition of strong democracy. Empowering civil society is a central concern for the project of democracy, just as the question of how best to think about such empowerment is important to social and political theory. But what is ‘civil society’? A search for clear definitions in the relevant literature is in vain. Not because the concept lacks definitions; rather the definitions are too multiple and varied to bring clarity. Most writers on civil society agree, however, that civil society has an institutional core constituted by voluntary associations outside the sphere of the state and the economy. Such associations range from, for example, churches, cultural associations, sport clubs and debating societies to independent media, academies, groups of concerned citizens, grass-roots initiatives and organizations of gender, race and sexuality, all the way to occupational associations, political parties and labour unions (Habermas 1992a: 453).
FTIR Spectroscopy Analysis of Molecular Vibrations in Gasoline Fuel Under 200 mT Static Magnetic Field Highlighted Structural Changes of Hydrocarbons Chains

Sample of 15 mL of gasoline fuel were exposed up to 2 h to a 200 mT static magnetic field and subjected to FTIR spectroscopy analysis. Symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of CH3 and CH2 did not change after exposure. In contrast, CH2 bending vibration around 1465 cm−1, CH3 symmetrical band at 1378 cm−1 and C–C stretching at 1610 cm−1 decreased significantly after 1 and 2 h of exposure, whereas CH2 twisting band around 1230 cm−1 increased significantly after exposure. These results can be explained assuming that a reorientation of hydrocarbons chains was induced by the applied field.
Effects of quercetin on uric acid metabolism

Background and Objective: High blood uric acid (hyperuricemia) is a common phenomenon in populations with hypertension, hyperglycemia, obesity and/or dyslipidemia. This study was to investigate the effects of quercetin supplementation on blood uric acid level and the biochemical mechanism behind it. Methods: A pilot trial confirmed the delivery of quercetin from a supplement tablet in healthy males (n=6). Randomised, double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled 4-week dietary intervention trial with the same supplement tablet containing 500 mg quercetin d-1 was conducted in selected healthy males (n=22, with higher blood uric acid but within normal range). Changes of uric acid and glucose were analysed in fasting blood plasma at 0, 2 and 4 weeks. Plasma metabolomics were profiled by 1H-NMR. Where quercetin and its metabolites may affect in the pathway of uric acid metabolism was investigated in vitro and ex vivo. Results: At the end of the 4-week trial, plasma uric acid levels were significantly reduced (mean change -26.5 µM, 95% CI -7.6 to -45.5, P = 0.008, n=22), as were diastolic blood pressures in normotensive subjects (-3.1 mm Hg, -0.5 to -5.8, P = 0.048, n=10). Paired plasma 1H-NMR spectrum showed lowered glutamine (P = 0.008), acetoacetate (P = 0.005) and lactate (P = 0.03) after quercetin treatment. A dose-dependent inhibition of quercetin, quercetin-3'-O-sulfate and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid on xanthine oxidase in vitro and a mild inhibitory effect of quercetin on plasma adenosine deaminase was found. Conclusions: Quercetin supplementation can maintain blood uric acid level and blood pressure within a low-risk range. It is probably a result of regulated purine metabolism by quercetin, its microbial derivatives and their metabolites.

Scientific novelty: theoretical foundations and the essence of reintegration of such students, as well as the measures are determined that facilitate it: information and explanatory work, socio-educational, psychological, pedagogical, socio-economic, and legal ones. It is proved that national-oriented upbringing is the priority in successful reintegration on condition of solving students' problems. The results: the efficiency in the use of the mentioned measures is proved by transformational changes related to overcoming the imbalance between the social wellbeing indicators (the level of life satisfaction, interest in life, general mood) and life attitudes (focus on process, result, freedom) of such students.
Study on PM Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fueled with Ethanol-Ester-Diesel Fuel

Ester was used as the solvent to make ethanol content in blend up to 30%. The effects of oxygen content on smoke, PM emission, PM components and size distribution were investigated in a four-cylinder diesel engine, and the percentage of soluble organic fraction(SOF) and dry soot(DS) was also analyzed. The results show that smoke and PM emission are reduced significantly by using the fuel blends. PM and smoke are reduced with the increase of oxygen fraction in the blends. Smoke reduction is more effective than PM. Oxygen fraction in the blends changes the PM components. With the increase of oxygen fraction, the percentage of SOF increases while the DS decreases. Oxygen fraction also affects PM size distribution. PM with diameter less 0. 2μm increases with the increase of oxygen fraction.

Adsorption of Cr (III) from aqueous solution by groundnut shell

Adsorption and de-sorption of chromium (III) ions on groundnut shell from aqueous solutions have been studied using batch adsorption techniques with respect to the influence of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose, initial chromium concentration and particle size. Appropriate adsorption isotherm and kinetic parameters of chromium (III) adsorption on groundnut shell have also been determined. The results of this study showed that adsorption of chromium (III) by groundnut shell reached to equilibrium after 360 minutes of the experiment and after that a little change of chromium removal efficiency was observed. Maximum chromium removal (87.5 %) was obtained at pH 7.0. The adsorption of chromium by groundnut shell was found to decrease with the higher chromium concentrations in aqueous solutions, lower adsorbent doses and higher particle sizes. The desorption efficiencies with 0.5M KOH was observed 78%. It is observed that the adsorption of chromium (III) by groundnut shell follows Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equation. The kinetic of the adsorption process follows the first order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.01min. The results indicate that groundnut shell can be employed as a low cost alternative to commercial adsorbents in the removal of chromium (III) from water and wastewater.
Applications of Energy Psychology in Addressing the Psychological Roots of Illness

The impact of psychological factors on illness is, in recent years, being biochemically mapped. The subspecialties of psychosomatic medicine, health psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and integrative medicine work with mind and body in concert to promote health and healing. A specialized set of mind-body approaches, collectively called “energy psychology,” is being utilized within these and related clinical frameworks to facilitate beneficial changes in the neurological underpinnings of (1) mental states that impede immune function, (2) emotional influences that contribute to illness, and (3) inner resources that promote healing. Combining practices from time-honored healing traditions, particularly acupressure, with concepts and techniques drawn from contemporary psychology, practitioners using one of the most popular variations of the approach teach patients to tap on a prescribed series of acupuncture points while repeating phrases that activate areas of the brain that are involved with the issue receiving attention. Preliminary evidence supports speculation, which is consistent with more than a hundred peer-reviewed clinical trials, that the procedure can send deactivating signals to areas of the limbic system that are in hyperarousal and can send activating signals to regions of the prefrontal cortex that support executive functions such as planning and managing stressful situations. Ways of utilizing the approach for addressing emotional and cognitive aspects of physical illness are discussed. While utilizing the best medical OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine 2021; 6(2), doi:10.21926/obm.icm. 2102014 Page 2/24 interventions available remains the first line of treatment, the potential value of working with the psychological aspects of disease is frequently underestimated. Energy psychology is proving to be a powerful tool for addressing this dimension of illness and healing. The paper closes with a detailed case history.
Peran Pesantren sebagai Salah Satu Lembaga Pendidikan Islam

Salah satu lembaga pendidikan Islam yang telah lama berkembang dan berakar kuat tradisinya adalah pesantren. Namun, nama pesantren sempat tercoreng namanya dengan dikaitkan sebagai asal muasal paham radikalisme di Indonesia, yang masih berupa isu semata. Oleh karenanya, menarik untuk diteliti dan diketahui mengenai berbagai sepak terjang pesantren di Indonesia dengan tradisi keislamannya serta kontribusi lainnya diranah pembentukan moral Islam, serta dalam ranah social serta ekonomi dalam ranah umumnya. Pesantren telah banyak berjasa dalam pembentukan pribadi serta daerah yang kental dengan tradisi ke Islaman. Awalnya hanya beroperasi pada sekitar “pinggiran desa”, meluas hingga berkembang keseluruh negeri. Perannya tidak hanya itu, dalam hal social ekonomi pun, lembaga pesantren berusaha hadir dan mengembangkan kosep-konsep brilian yang mampu menjawab masalah kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitarnya secara khusus, dan Indonesia secara umum.
Characterization of Anorexia Nervosa on Social Media: Textual, Visual, Relational, Behavioral, and Demographical Analysis

Background Eating disorders are psychological conditions characterized by unhealthy eating habits. Anorexia nervosa (AN) is defined as the belief of being overweight despite being dangerously underweight. The psychological signs involve emotional and behavioral issues. There is evidence that signs and symptoms can manifest on social media, wherein both harmful and beneficial content is shared daily. Objective This study aims to characterize Spanish-speaking users showing anorexia signs on Twitter through the extraction and inference of behavioral, demographical, relational, and multimodal data. By using the transtheoretical model of health behavior change, we focus on characterizing and comparing users at the different stages of the model for overcoming AN, including treatment and full recovery periods. Methods We analyzed the writings, posting patterns, social relationships, and images shared by Twitter users who underwent different stages of anorexia nervosa and compared the differences among users going through each stage of the illness and users in the control group (ie, users without AN). We also analyzed the topics of interest of their followees (ie, users followed by study participants). We used a clustering approach to distinguish users at an early phase of the illness (precontemplation) from those that recognize that their behavior is problematic (contemplation) and generated models for the detection of tweets and images related to AN. We considered two types of control users—focused control users, which are those that use terms related to anorexia, and random control users. Results We found significant differences between users at each stage of the recovery process (P<.001) and control groups. Users with AN tweeted more frequently at night, with a median sleep time tweets ratio (STTR) of 0.05, than random control users (STTR=0.04) and focused control users (STTR=0.03). Pictures were relevant for the characterization of users. Focused and random control users were characterized by the use of text in their profile pictures. We also found a strong polarization between focused control users and users in the first stages of the disorder. There was a strong correlation among the shared interests between users with AN and their followees (ρ=0.96). In addition, the interests of recovered users and users in treatment were more highly correlated to those corresponding to the focused control group (ρ=0.87 for both) than those of AN users (ρ=0.67), suggesting a shift in users’ interest during the recovery process. Conclusions We mapped the signs of AN to social media context. These results support the findings of previous studies that focused on other languages and involved a deep analysis of the topics of interest of users at each phase of the disorder. The features and patterns identified provide a basis for the development of detection tools and recommender systems.
Theoretical Analysis of Experimental Data of Sodium Diffusion in Oxidized Molybdenum Thin Films

In this work, the diffusion process of sodium (Na) in molybdenum (Mo) thin films while it was deposited on soda lime glass (SLG) was studied. A small amount of oxygen was present in the chamber while the direct-current (DC) magnetron sputtering was used for the deposition. The substrate temperatures were varied to observe its effect. Such molybdenum films, with or without oxidations, are often used in thin film solar cells, either as back contact or as hole transport layers. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to quantify the concentration of the species. A grain diffusion mechanistic model incorporating the effect of grain and grain boundary geometrical shape and size was developed. The model was used to provide an in-depth theoretical analysis of the sodium diffusion in molybdenum thin films that lead to the measured SIMS data. It was observed that not only diffusion coefficients should be considered when analyzing diffusion processes in thin films but also the ratio of grain boundary size to grain size. Both depend on substrate temperature and directly affect the amount of diffused species in the film. The data were analyzed under the light of the film growth speed versus diffusion front speed, the effect of oxygen content, and the effect of substrate temperature on the overall diffusion process. The temperature inversely affects the ratio of grain boundary size and grain size and directly affects the diffusion coefficient, which leads to a preferable temperature at which the highest amount of alkali can be found in the film.
Secondary Localized Cutaneous Amyloidosis is not Rare in Bowen’s Disease and Bowenoid Papulosis

Secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis is a histopathological finding seen in the dermis, in various benign, premalignant, and malignant skin conditions, without clinical significance. The real incidence is not known. We aimed to investigate the phenomenon of secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis in Bowen’s disease and Bowenoid papulosis. We retrospectively evaluated the data of all cases with histopathological confirmation of Bowen’s disease and Bowenoid papulosis between 2006 and 2017 in our Dermatovenereology and/or Pathology departments. Secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis was observed in three patients with Bowen’s disease (3/52; 5.8%) and in three patients with Bowenoid papulosis (3/18; 16.7%). Herein, we present the demographic, clinical and histopathological features of these six cases of secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis in detail. Although the occurrence of secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis in epithelial tumors is a well-known phenomenon, its incidence has not been previously reported in Bowen’s disease and Bowenoid papulosis. Therefore, our results indicating a high incidence may be particularly important for Bowenoid papulosis, as its association with secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis has only been shown in one case before. Moreover, in three of six cases, we histologically observed areas of regression with a marked prominence of amyloid deposition. Remarkably, two of these patients had a history of topical application of destructive agents which reveals a possible etiologic relationship between secondary localized cutaneous amyloidosis and cellular apoptosis/necrosis induced by these external agents.
3Φ4W Grid-Connected Hybrid-Frequency Parallel Inverter System With Ripple Compensation to Achieve Fast Response and Low Current Distortion

Based on the comparisons of several inverter configurations in the aspects of efficiency, response, volume, current distortion, and price, in this article, we present a feasible three-phase four-wire (3Φ4W) grid-connected hybrid-frequency parallel inverter system (HbFPIS) with ripple compensation to achieve low current distortion and fast response. An HbFPIS consists of a low-frequency-high-power inverter (LFHPI) and a high-frequency-low-power inverter (HFLPI) connected in parallel. An LFHPI design results in higher power output with lower frequency (LF) switching devices, such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) being more cost-effective. An HFLPI design can reduce switching loss by lowering the power requirement of high-frequency (HF) switching devices while increasing dynamic response. With the direct digital control and ripple compensation, LF current ripples are attenuated by the HFLPI to a smaller level, remaining mainly HF current ripples and, thus, resulting in smaller filter size and weight. The design of an HbFPIS ensures that the system has high power output with cost-effective devices, fast response, and smaller output filters. Ripple attenuation, current tracking capability, and inverter stability are analyzed in the article. Low current distortion and fast current tracking performance are validated by the 300-kW simulated and the 10-kW experimental results of a 3Φ4W HbFPIS in grid-connected and active power filter modes.
Facial Expression and EEG Fusion for Investigating Continuous Emotions of Deaf Subjects

Emotion recognition has received increasing attention in human-computer interaction (HCI) and psychological assessment. Compared with single modal emotion recognition, the multimodal paradigm has an outperformance because of introducing complementary information for emotion recognition. However, current research is mainly focused on normal people, the deaf subjects need to understand emotional changes in real life. In this paper, we propose a multimodal continuous emotion recognition method for deaf subjects based on facial expression and electroencephalograph (EEG) signals. Twelve emotion movie clips as stimulus were selected and annotated by ten postgraduates who majored in psychology. The EEG signals and facial expressions of deaf subjects were collected when they watched the stimulus clips. The differential entropy (DE) features of EEG were extracted by time-frequency analysis and the six facial features were extracted by facial landmark. Long short-term memory networks (LSTM) were utilized to accomplish the feature level fusion and captured the temporal dynamics of emotions. The result shows that the EEG signal is better than the dynamic emotional capture of facial expressions and deaf subjects in continuous emotion recognition. Multi-modality can compensate for the information of a single modality, which achieves a better performance. Finally, from the neural activities of deaf subjects, the result reveals that the prefrontal lobe region may be strongly related to negative emotion processing, and the lateral temporal lobe region may be strongly related to positive emotion processing.
Applying Ecological Theory to Amphibian Populations to Determine if Wood Frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) are Ideal and Free when Selecting Breeding Habitat

General goals of conservation are to increase, maintain, or slow decline of a target population, but each species has a particularly sensitive life stage or process that determines or regulates the number of individuals (e.g. recruitment). An individual’s fitness is directly related to the quality of the habitat that they select. Therefore, an understanding of breeding habitat selection would lead to more successful conservation of these recruitment-limited populations. Breeding habitat selection studies tend to focus on the phenomenon (where individuals settle), instead of the mechanism behind the settling decision. However, the ideal free distribution (IFD) theory can describe these settling mechanism over a time series. The IFD has been applied to numerous taxa, but has not yet been tested on amphibian populations, which are generally recruitmentlimited and are experiencing global declines. Here, I argue that incorporating existing ecological theory, specifically the IFD, into conservation management practices for amphibian populations may provide information of breeding habitat selection, and lead to better decisions and resource allocation when protecting, altering, or creating breeding
