Вплив температурних режимів зберігання та складу захисних середовищ на збереженість вірусу сказу штаму CVS

The impact of protective media supplemented with sucrose, glycerol, and maltose on the rabies virus CVS strain preservation during storage at 37, 5, –20, –80, and –196oC has been studied. The temperature regimen of 37oC was found as not suitable for virus storage, but temperature of 5oC could be used for a short-term storage in corresponding protective medium in case of production need. It was shown that storage at –80 and –196oC in DMEM-based preservation media containing 0.5% fetal bovine serum, supplemented with either 5% sucrose, or 5% glycerol, or 5% maltose, or sucrose and glycerol mixture provided high levels of the rabies virus CVS strain infectious activity within 24 months (observation period). At –20oC, in a growth medium with sucrose and mixture of sucrose and glycerol, after 6 months 79–82% of the initial virus activity were preserved, and after 12 months that was 69–72%. Upon reaching –80oC and during subsequent storage of virus samples at this temperature in the studied preservation media, the secondary crystallization of concentrated dissolved substances was prolonged.
Zooplankton community in Thi Nai lagoon in the period of 2001–2020

This paper presents the results of the surveys on zooplankton in Thi Nai lagoon from 2001 to 2020. There were 179 species found in the lagoon, among which Copepod was the dominant group with 97 species (50.78% of total species), followed by Cladocera with 20 species (10.36%), Hydrozoa with 18 species (9.33%), Tunicata with 11 species (5.7%) and Siphonophora with 10 species (5.18%). Based on Bray-Curtis similarity analysis of zooplankton community and the station position, the sampling stations in the lagoon were grouped into three areas: The upper lagoon (UP), the middle (MI), and the mouth of the lagoon (MO). Among the surveyed years, there was a slight variation in the species number, while the density decreased by time and was especially low in 2020. Zooplankton density was much lower in the rainy season compared to that in the dry season, while the species number was less varied. Analysis of the differences between the areas in the lagoon demonstrated a clear distribution pattern of zooplankton with a decreasing density and an increasing number of species from upper lagoon to the mouth of the lagoon. Zooplankton diversity was less affected by time and only the Pielou index in the MI area between 2004 and 2009 was significantly different. Analysis of the various indices between seasons showed that the MO area was less volatile than the two other regions. The multi-dimensional scaling analysis demonstrated that zooplankton community was less variable by regions (50% similarity) compared to by the years (only 30% of similarity), except in 2009 and 2020 when differences among the areas were significant. Seasonal community change between the dry and rainy seasons was 30%.
Linking the brain and bone through fat

Over the past years, bone and adipose tissue have gained interest from researchers in the light of their secretory profiles, being able to produce active molecules, with the final effect of regulating energy homeostasis. Both adipocytes and osteoblasts originate in the pluripotent mesenchymal stem cell and this common origin has been proposed as the core of the fat-bone relationship. The central nervous system might be the third player in this association, capable of integrating signals. Numerous adipose tissue secreted factors that influence energy homeostasis and bone have been described: leptin, adiponectin, lipocalin 2, and inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α). Similarly, osteocalcin, the most abundant bone protein, has been shown to elicit numerous central and peripheral endocrine functions. In this paper, we provide a review of the current literature regarding the bone-adipose tissue-central nervous system axis and a brief description of the several underlying molecular mechanisms.

ТРУДОВЫЕ ПРАКТИКИ Job Resources and Organizational Commitment in Finnish Company Units in Finland and Russia

This article compares organizational commitment and its predictors in the units of two Finnish companies operating in Finland and Russia. The research questions are: which of the two countries has a higher level of organizational commitment and do different job resources affect the organizational commitment of Finnish and Russian employees? The research data was collected in a web survey (N=636). Cross tabulation, variance analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used as the analysis methods. Russian employees were more committed in both organizations compared with their Finnish counterparts. Based on the regression analysis, development opportunities and the support of colleagues influenced the organizational commitment of both Finnish and Russian employees. Opportunities for influencing one’s work also affected commitment among Finns. By contrast, satisfaction with management or salary had no statistically significant effect on organizational commitment in either of the countries. Both in Finland and in Russia organizations must invest in employee well-being, especially development possibilities and supportive work communities in order to enhance affective organizational commitment. This study adds to the limited comparative research on Finland and Russia and the predictors of affective organizational commitment in these countries.
Fatty acid profile and in silico pharmacological study of diatom Amphora sp

Amphora sp. is a type of potential microalgae that has a considerably high content of lipid. The current experiment was carried out for the extraction and identification of Amphora sp. fatty acids, using n-hexane and petroleum ether as solvents, before studying their pharmacological properties, in silico. The results showed that petroleum ether gives a better yield of 3.58%, compared to n-Hexane (2.74%). The GCMS analysis of the sample extracted using petroleum ether shows six peaks corresponding to 6-Dodecanone; Methyl (E)-octadec-11-enoate; Methyl 15-methylhexadecanoate; 2,5Dimethylcyclohexanol; 2,3-Dimethyl-undec-1-en-3-ol and 3,6,6-Trimethyl-2-norpinanol. Meanwhile, the sample extracted using n-hexane only shows two fatty acid compounds, i.e.: 2,3-Dimethyl-undec-1-en3-ol and 3,6,6-Trimethyl-2-norpinanol. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) analysis showed that fatty acid compounds contained in Amphora sp. have potential as drug ingredients, based on the Lipinski's rule of five and on their pharmacokinetic properties. Biological activity based on the prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) shows that fatty acids contained in Amphora sp. have a considerably good activity as antivirals with a probability activity (Pa) value of 0.592-0.723, but also have several other activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antineoplastic, and antioxidant. These results indicate that petroleum ether solvent is more effective than n-Hexane to extract fatty acids in Amphora sp. , with a high potential as natural antiviral agents, in silico.

Prevalence of Cytological Abnormalities in Papanicolaou Smears and Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer Among Women in Muscat, Oman

Objective: Cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer among women in Oman. Although it can be detected early in the premalignant stages, there is as yet no national program for cervical cancer screening. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of cytological abnormalities in Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and related risk factors among Omani women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to December 2019 at the gynecology and family medicine clinics of Khoula Hospital and Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat. All asymptomatic Omani women aged between 21–65 years were included. Data regarding the participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and known risk factors were collected using a selfreported sheet. Pap smears were performed and the results reported by a cytotechnologist and histopathologist. Results: A total of 442 women participated in the study (response rate: 100%). The mean age was 39.0 ± 9.7 years old. The prevalence of cervical cytological abnormalities was 3.7%. There was a significant association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cell abnormalities ( p = 0.017); however, there was no link with hormonal contraception use, pregnancy before the age of 17 years or parity ( p >0.050 each). Conclusions: The prevalence of cervical cell abnormalities in Oman was similar to that observed in Arab countries and relatively low in comparison to findings from Western countries. A screening program should be implemented at the primary care level. Moreover, the findings of this study highlight the need for a future vaccination program against HPV infections. Keywords: Cervical Cancer; Screening; Cytological Abnormalities; Pap Smear; Human Papillomavirus; Oman.

A New VAD Algorithm using Sparse Representation in Spectro-Temporal Domain

This paper proposes two algorithms for Voice Activity Detection (VAD) based on sparse representation in spectro-temporal domain. Spectral-temporal components which, in addition to the frequency and time dimensions, have two other dimensions of the scale and rate. Scale means spectral modulation and the rate means temporal modulation. On the other hand, using sparse representation in learning dictionaries of speech and noise, separate the speech and noise segment to be better separated. The first algorithm was made using two-dimensional STRF (Spectro-Temporal Response Field) space based on sparse representation. Dictionaries with different atomic sizes and two dictionary learning methods: NMF (non-negative matrix factorization) and the K-SVD (k-means clustering method), were investigated in this approach. This algorithm revealed good results at high SNRs (signal-to-noise ratio). The second algorithm, whose approach is more complicated, suggests a speech detector using the sparse representation in four-dimensional STRF space. Due to the large volume of STRF's four-dimensional space, this space was divided into cubes, with dictionaries made for each cube separately by NMF (non-negative matrix factorization) learning algorithm. Simulation results were presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our new VAD algorithms. The results revealed that the achieved performance was 90.11% and 91.75% under -5 dB SNR in white and car noise respectively, outperforming most of the state-of-the-art VAD algorithms.
Aging metrics incorporating cognitive and physical function capture mortality risk: results from three prospective cohort studies

Abstract Background: The aims of this study were to: 1) describe the proportions of vulnerable persons identified by three existing aging metrics that incorporate cognitive and physical function; 2) examine the associations of the three metrics with mortality; and 3) develop and validate a new simple functional score for mortality prediction. Methods: The three aging metrics were the combined presence of cognitive impairment and physical frailty (CI-PF), the frailty index (FI), and the motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR). We operationalized them with data from two large cohort studies: the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Logistic regression models or Cox proportional hazard regression models, and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to examine the associations of the three metrics with mortality. A new functional score was developed and validated in the Rugao Ageing Study (RAS), an independent dataset. Results: In CHARLS, the proportions of vulnerable persons identified by CI-PF, FI, and MCR were 2.2%, 16.6%, and 19.6%, respectively. Each metric predicted mortality after adjustment for age and sex, with some variations in the strength of the associations (CI-PF, odds ratio (OR)=2.87, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.74, 4.74; FI, OR=1.94, 95% CI=1.50, 2.50; MCR, OR=1.27, 95% CI=1.00, 1.62). CI-PF and FI had additional predictive utility beyond age and sex, as demonstrated by integrated discrimination improvement, and continuous net reclassification improvement (all P <0.001). These results were replicated in NHANES. Furthermore, we developed a new functional score by selecting six self-reported items from CI-PF and FI in CHARLS, and demonstrated that it predicted mortality risk. This functional score was further validated in RAS. To facilitate the quick screening of persons with deteriorations in cognitive and physical function, we introduced a publicly available online tool designed for this new functional score. Conclusions: Despite the inherent differences in the aging metrics incorporating cognitive and physical function, they consistently capture mortality risk. The findings support the incorporation of cognitive and physical function for risk stratification in both Chinese and US persons, but call for caution when applying them in specific study settings.
Analysis of 472,688 severe cases of COVID-19 in Brazil showed lower mortality in those vaccinated against influenza

Objective: To analyze the severe cases of COVID-19 in Brazil in 2020 and compare those vaccinated and unvaccinated against influenza in invasive ventilation, admission in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and deaths. Method: Cross-sectional study with public data from the OpenDataSUS platform confirmed severe cases for COVID-19 in Brazil in the year 2020. Data were analyzed by SPSS, from the chi-square test of independence and binary logistic regression. Results: The population was 472,688 cases and 177,640 deaths, with lethality of 37.58% in severe cases. The test of independence was highly significant in vaccinated survivors (<0.0001), and regression showed an almost twofold odds ratio for invasive ventilation, ICU admission, and death in unvaccinated cases. Conclusion: We recommend mass influenza vaccination as an adjuvant in combating the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.
Effect of Mechanical Neck pain on Neck Disability and Scapula position among School Teachers in Delhi and NCR

Neck pain found to be most common musculoskeletal condition in office workers with 12-month prevalence. Mechanical neck pain can be classified into two categories in clinical studies mechanical neck pain which has patients without any identifiable anatomic cause and leaves patients having neurological dysfunctions cervicogenic headache and inflammatory disorders. Current research work has total of 150 participants out of which there were 100 females school teachers having mean age of 37.8 years(median 38 years) and 50 male school teachers having mean age 40 years (median 39 years). Participants included in the study were professionally active school teachers of primary, secondary and senior secondary. Scapula position and neck disability was examined as per keiblers lateral scapular slide test and Neck disability index. Total 150 teachers were included in the study 80 teachers having mechanical neck pain (study group) and 70 teachers not having mechanical neck pain (control group) statistically significant difference found in scapula position and neck disability. In the present research, it is found that there is statistically significant difference in scapula position protraction and upward rotation at three different levels as well as there are statistically significant changes observed in neck disability.
Effects of the back-squat exercise on lower limb myoelectric activity in trained men: a systematic review

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the effects of the back-squat exercise on the lower limb myoelectric activity in trained men. Methods: We conducted a systematic review following the recommendations of PRISMA. Medline (PubMed), Scielo, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Lilacs databases were searched. The search terms included electromyography, exercise, resistance training, and squat. We included experimental studies that described the back-squat exercise using surface electromyography (EMG) in men experienced in resistance training and back squat exercise at angles from 60o to 90o. Results: Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The interventions of the included studies ranged from 2 to 7 days. The protocols demonstrated to improve the neuromuscular system and to provide greater acquisition of strength in the muscles involved in performing the back squat exercise (p < 0.05). Thirty-seven muscles were analyzed, with a predominance of the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, gluteus maximus, and rectus femoris muscles. Conclusion: The studies investigated in this review showed that the back-squat exercise at angles from 60o to 90o increased the lower limb myoelectric activity recorded in loads of 30% and 100% of 1RM in men experienced in resistance training. However, more studies with higher methodological quality are needed in the analysis of the squat exercise to reduce the risk of bias.
Machining of Hybrid Composite Materials

Composite materials have been having an increasing importance in the industry. Their high specific properties and their high flexibility that allows tailoring materials that suit the needs of practically every project, have been leading to a growth in the demand of this kind of materials. Fiber-Metal Laminates have an established usage on the aeronautic industry and lately have been subject of research by the automotive industry. Since composite manufacturing methods allow the obtention of components with their final geometry, drilling is the most used machining operation in the machining of composites. Drilling of composites is very demanding from the tools point of view, with very high wear rates and several defects can occur to the workpiece like delamination, fiber pull-outs, burrs and matrix degradation. When combined with a metal, additional challenges appear in drilling these materials such as loads of different magnitudes during a single operation and surface defects on the interface because of chip removal. Orbital drilling is seen as a promising alternative to conventional drilling, presenting several advantages that result in holes with higher quality. Given the interest the automotive industry has been showing in fiber-metal laminates constituted by steel and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and due to the lack of information regarding drilling of this combination of materials, the aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of the machining parameters in the quality of holes obtained by orbital drilling. A full factorial design of experiments was done and the influence of the parameters was then evaluated by means of an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
