O̅TA GYU̅ICHI. “SHINCHŌ-KŌ KI”. BOOK VI (COMMENTED RUSSIAN TRANSLATION). PART I
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of science (MOSCOW), Polkhov S. A.
Published: November 2020

The article provides the first part of translation into Russian of the book VI of «Shincho̅-ko̅ ki», one of the major sources on the history of Japan of the 16th century. Book VI contains a copy of the 17 articles admonitions by Oda Nobunaga addressed to the sho̅gun Ashikaga Yoshiaki. In this document, Nobunaga reproached his master for self-will, selfishness and injustice. The appearance of the instructions testified to the intensification of the power struggle between the sho̅gun and Nobunaga. Book VI narrates about the sho̅gun’s open war against Nobunaga, who was in the ring of enemies in early 1573 — Takeda Shingen, the houses of Azai and Asakurа, the followers of the True Pure Land School, led by Honganji, and other opponents sought to coordinate their actions closely. In this situation, Nobunaga spared no effort to negotiate a peace with Yoshiaki. However, the truce was fragile; the shogun again challenged his powerful vassal, who moved the army to the capital, and then forced the suzerain, who was besieged in Makinoshima castle, to surrender, and sent him into exile. For O̅ta Gyu̅ichi, the author of the chronicle, the shogun after breaking up with Nobunaga turned into an “enemy of the realm”, his sympathy is definitely on the side of Nobunaga. In addition, scroll VI tells about the victorious end of the military campaign against the houses of Asakura and Azai, whose heads were forced to commit seppuku, as well as Nobunaga’s campaign in the north of Ise province with the aim of subjugating the local samurai clans, many of whom cooperated with the forces of Ikko̅-ikki.
THE ROLE OF SOCIAL POLICY IN A CULTURALLY COMPLEX SOCIETY MANAGEMENT (THE CASE STUDY OF IRAN)
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of science (MOSCOW), Mamedova N. M.
Published: November 2020

Social policy is among key priorities for Iran due to unique Islamic regime governance structure further cemented by the historic cultural and ethno-religious heterogeneity of Iranian society. The current Islamic republic governance is only four decades old, and the social policy as a part of the society management system is being shaped and developed considering both Islamic principles and the population ever changing needs. The article provides an analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran social policy targets, trends and outcomes over the different periods of times as well as surveys various Islamic patterns for the population’s social support. The research evaluates the waqfs’ and Islamic foundations contribution shares as part of national rural and urban households spending. The author pays special attention to the different population categories’ living standards evolution, analysed both from the income standpoint, and the health care and educational systems, the households' utility services (including housing, electricity, drinking water, gas, etc.). The social justice achievement was stated as one of the main goals of the Islamic regime, and the author surveys the socio-economic stratification of the Iranian society, as well as the dynamics of poverty and inequality. These processes are driven by the domestic socio-economic policy to a large extent, but are also dependent on its correlation with the situation in global market. The author concludes that currently the support opportunities for the poorest become increasingly dependent on the external environment. That said, while the ideology had the most powerful impact on the society consolidation over the past decades, at present it is being replaced with quite pragmatic population’s aspirations such as the achievement of higher living standards, the ensured access to active participation in the economic and political life of the country.
THE SINGULATIVE MARKER n- IN CHADIC LANGUAGES: A RECONSTRUCTION
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of science (MOSCOW), Stolbova O. V.
Published: November 2020

The Afro-asiatic macro family includes Chadic, Semitic, Egyptian, Cushitic, Omotic, and Berber languages. The Chadic branch consists of about 170 languages spoken in Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and Chad. The present paper continues a series of publications on Chadic diachronic morphology, focusing on prefixal derivation morphology. (For the velar prefix k- in different noun groups of Chadic languages and the verbalizing prefix ˀa-, see: [Stolbova 2015; 2018]. We propose a reconstruction of the singulative marker n- in Chadic nouns. As follows from our previous studies, lexicalized (or “frozen”) affixes are typical of unwritten Chadic languages; they can be uncovered only on the basis of lexical comparison. A careful analysis of singular forms derived from collective nouns denoting people, hoofed animals or insects suggests that the initial nasal in singular forms should be identified as a derivational prefix. We argue that in Chadic languages, n-forms precipitated the tendency to prenasalize primary singular nouns with the abovementioned semantics (people, animal, insect names). We also discuss external cognates pointing to the proto-Chadic origin of this prefix. Further research, on other Chadic noun groups (wild animals, birds, snakes) and especially on Semitic and Cushitic could clarify whether this morphological innovation was exclusive to Chadic or was shared by other Afro-asiatic languages.

Authors: Couldwell Mitchell W. , Cheshier Samuel , Taussky Philipp , Mortimer Vance , Couldwell William T.
Published: November 2020

Moyamoya is an uncommon disease that presents with stenoocclusion of the major vasculature at the base of the brain and associated collateral vessel formation. Many pediatric patients with moyamoya present with transient ischemic attacks or complete occlusions. The authors report the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with posterior fossa hemorrhage and was treated with an emergency suboccipital craniotomy for evacuation. After emergency surgery, an angiogram was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with moyamoya disease. Six months later, the patient was treated for moyamoya using direct and indirect revascularization; after surgery there was excellent vascularization in both regions of the bypass and no further progression of moyamoya changes. This case illustrates a rare example of intracerebral hemorrhage associated with moyamoya changes in the posterior vascularization in a pediatric patient and subsequent use of direct and indirect revascularization to reduce the risk of future hemorrhage and moyamoya progression.

OBJECTIVES

More than 7500 children undergo surgery for scoliosis each year, at an estimated annual cost to the health system of $1.1 billion. There is significant interest among patients, parents, providers, and payors in identifying methods for delivering quality outcomes at lower costs. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been suggested as one possible solution. Here the authors conducted a systematic review of the literature describing the clinical and economic benefits of ERAS protocols in pediatric spinal deformity surgery.

METHODS

The authors identified all English-language articles on ERAS protocol use in pediatric spinal deformity surgery by using the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews, EMBASE, CINAHL, and OVID MEDLINE. Quantitative analyses of comparative articles using random effects were performed for the following clinical outcomes: 1) length of stay (LOS); 2) complication rate; 3) wound infection rate; 4) 30-day readmission rate; 5) reoperation rate; and 6) postoperative pain scores.

RESULTS

Of 950 articles reviewed, 7 were included in the qualitative analysis and 6 were included in the quantitative analysis. The most frequently cited benefits of ERAS protocols were shorter LOS, earlier urinary catheter removal, and earlier discontinuation of patient-controlled analgesia pumps. Quantitative analyses showed ERAS protocols to be associated with shorter LOS (mean difference −1.12 days; 95% CI −1.51, −0.74; p < 0.001), fewer postoperative complications (OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.20, 0.68; p = 0.001), and lower pain scores on postoperative day (POD) 0 (mean −0.92; 95% CI −1.29, −0.56; p < 0.001) and POD 2 (−0.61; 95% CI −0.75, −0.47; p < 0.001). There were no differences in reoperation rate or POD 1 pain scores. ERAS-treated patients had a trend toward higher 30-day readmission rates and earlier discontinuation of patient-controlled analgesia (both p = 0.06). Insufficient data existed to reach a conclusion about cost differences.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this systematic review suggest that ERAS protocols may shorten hospitalizations, reduce postoperative complication rates, and reduce postoperative pain scores in children undergoing scoliosis surgery. Publication biases exist, and therefore larger, prospective, multicenter data are needed to validate these results.

Published: November 2020

Studies were carried out on the main indicators of the chemical composition and physical properties of muskulus longissimus dorsi of pigs of different genotypes during hybridization. The indicators of the chemical composition and physical properties of muskulus longissimus dorsi were determined by conventional methods. The materials of experimental studies were processed using methods of variation statistics. According to the amount of moisture, no significant difference between the control and experimental groups was established. According to the amount of protein in meat, a tendency to a slight decrease, compared with the control group by 1.4 (group III) … 1.9 % (group II) was established. The use of boars of Poltava meat breed led to a decrease in intramuscular fat in descendants by 0.25 % compared with peers of a large white breed (P <0.95), and precocious meat - to a real increase of this indicator by 0.43 % at P> 0 , 95. A tendency towards an increase in the amount of tryptophan (by 0.04 ... 0.05) and oxyproline (by 0.004 ... 0.005) in the muscles of hybrid animals was revealed in comparison with peers of pure breed of large white breed. In terms of the biological usefulness of meat proteins, animals of group III were the best - in terms of the quality of the protein of the longest muscle of the back, their advantage over peers of group II was 0.07, and compared with purebred peers. Group I - 0.12 (p <0.95). It was found that with the same area of the meat spot both in purebred large white breeds of animals and hydrides of different genotypes, there is a tendency to increase the latter compared to the control in a humid place: with a «share» of «blood» ½ pm by 2.2 %, and with a «share» of blood ½ cm - 1.4 %. A tendency has been established to increase the pH value of the longest back muscle in animals with a «share» of blood of specialized meat breeds compared with a large white breed. In hybrid animals with a «share» of blood of Poltava meat and precocious meat breeds, there is a tendency to increase the pH value in comparison with the large white breed by 0.15 (2.8 %) and by 0.17 (3.1 %), i.e. the meat of hybrid pigs, the pH of which has a shift towards alkalinity due to less accumulation of lactic acid, has a worse preservation.

According to the literature review, there have been paid less attention to the peculiarities of the large intestine of domestic birds than to the small intestine. The cecum is studied mainly in terms of their microbiome and assessment of the state of the immune system through the study of the structure and cell composition of lymphoid formations. Researchers note the role of the cecum in productivity, maintaining the health and well-being of animals. The aim of the paper was to study the features of the microscopic structure of the caecum of ducks in the first year of the postnatal ontogenesis period. Determination of morphometric parameters of microstructures was performed on histological specimens from a cross section of the middle caecum of ducks 1-, 3-, 7-, 14- and 21-days old, 1-, 2- and 6-month old and 1-year-old. Active morphogenesis of intestinal microstructures was observed in 1-3-day-old ducks, as evidenced by the process of villi and crypt formation. The older ducks, their main feature of the microscopic structure of the cecum anatomy was the increase with age of their morphometric parameters, which was uneven and asynchronous. However, the density of villi and crypts did not change with the age of the bird. The indexes of adult birds morphometric parameters of the ducks cecum corresponded at different ages: the diameter of the intestine, the thickness of the serous membrane, the density of villi, the depth of the crypt – In 1 year; villi width – In 6-month; the thickness of the intestinal wall, its mucous membrane, the density of villi, their surface area, the height of the epithelium of the crypt – In 1 month; the height of the villi and their epithelium, the thickness of the muscular membrane and muscle plate - in 21 days; width and density of crypts – at 3 days sold. The most intensive increase in morphometric parameters of the caecal microstructures occurred in the first month of the postnatal period of ontogenesis, during which they changed most rapidly in the first week.

The article describes the histological characteristics of the skin of clinically healthy domestic dogs and cats, presents morphometric data on the thickness of the skin, layers of the epidermis, the area of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles; describes sexual and seasonal skin replacements in domestic dogs and cats, common in the east of Ukraine. The material for research is the skin of clinically healthy dogs and cats. Research method is histological. Punch-biopsy of skin fragments was performed in animals on the right from the middle of the lateral surface of the back. Fragments of skin after fixation in 10 % neutral formalin were examined by paraffin, followed by staining of slides with hematoxylin-eosin and by gelatin impregnation, staining with Sudan II, hematoxylin of Karachi. In horizontal and vertical skin sections, the following was investigated: the thickness of the epidermis, papillary and reticular layers, the length and width of the sweat and sebaceous glands, follicle of the hair, the location of hair bundles and the ratio of secondary follicles to primary ones. The histological characteristics of skin and derivatives in dogs and cats have been established. The information obtained from morphometric histostudies indicates significant fluctuations in the values in cats depending on the season; the difference in skin thickness in winter and summer reached 1407 μM and had the same parameters in females and males. The papillary and reticular layers of the dermis correlated with the total skin thickness as 53.9 and 60.3 % in winter and 45.4 and 38.7% in summer, respectively. Epidermal seasonal changes were less significant. The papillary layer of the skin of the domestic cat was more developed than the reticular layer, in contrast to the dogs. The area of the basal sebaceous glands in cats averaged 0.05 mm2 in summer and 0.013 mm2 in winter. In domestic dogs, skin thickness and hair density did not depend on seasonal changes, but on the sex of the animals; in females, the skin was on average 496 + 183 microns thick, and the density was not significantly higher than in males. The area of the sebaceous glands averaged 0,020 mm2 in dog, in cats 0.013 mm2 in summer and in winter – 0.05 mm2.

A large population of dogs creates a demand for effective drugs to protect them from arthropods, which have a negative influence when they attack animals. Arthropods can be vectors of pathogens of dangerous infectious and invasive diseases, including anthroponoses. Thus, ixodic ticks can cause oppression, dermatitis, intoxication, anemia, reducing the body's resistance and can be vectors of pathogens of viral, bacterial, protozoan diseases of animals and humans. The most common and dangerous protozoosis of dogs is babesiosis. Ixodic ticks are biological vectors of genus Babesia. In order to prevent babesiosis it is recommended to use acaricides for animals. To inhibit the development of drug resistant populations of arthropods, it is recommended to use a combination of active substances. The aim of the work was to study the effectiveness of the combined insectoacaricidal preparation «AcaroKILL» against ixodic ticks. Research material and methods. The research was conducted in April-May 2020 in Kharkiv region, on the basis of the research laboratory of the Department of Parasitology at Kharkiv State Zooveterinary Academy, veterinary clinic «911». The research was conducted on domestic dogs aged 4 to 8 years. The study was conducted using general and special methods, which included analysis of animal conditions and clinical and parasitological examination of animals.

The morphogenetic period is the most important period of ontogenesis, the period of the highest activity of genes that provide the fundamental foundation and development of the main systems of the body. Breeding changes always begin with genetic changes that change the course of development and are realized in the phenotype. Thus, at the level of the phenotype selection plays an important role. The path from gene to trait is a major problem in developmental biology. The study was carried out on fetuses, embryos and newborn piglets of large white, Landrace and Mirgorod breed. The animal organism is an integral structure, where all organs, systems and tissues are interdependent and interconnected. Correlations preserve the organism as an integral structure. The study of biological patterns of development is of great practical importance in pig breeding. Their knowledge allows not only to improve existing breeds, breed types, but also allows to create new breeds and manage productivity. The directed development of the organism is influenced by the controlling factors of heredity in interaction with the environment. The intensity of metabolism is associated with its development and the formation of productive qualities. The type of animal can be the main factor in the assessment that determines the productivity of the animal. The type of animal includes its general appearance by which the productivity of the animal is determined. Meat, greasy and versatile types can be clearly distinguished. The main indicators that characterize the features of the morphogenetic period of ontogenesis are the following: live weight, height, development of the physique, internal organs, skeleton and muscle tissue. The role of blood in the body is very diverse. The main indicators for studying the properties of blood, its total amount, composition (the number of erythrocytes and leukocytes, the content of hemoglobin, protein, its fractions) are also relevant. In fetuses of Landrace and Large White breeds, along with high fertility, a greater number of blood cells and a high concentration of protein in the plasma of blood elements were revealed in comparison with fetuses and newborns of Mirgorod breed.

Mit der Corona-Krise sind die Einwände gegenüber neuen Arbeitsmodellen, Führungs- und Kommunikationsformen geringer geworden. Dieser Band beschreibt, wie die Arbeit verändert wahrgenommen wurde, wie schnell eine Umstellung auf Homeoffice erfolgte, wie die Menschen mit den Ausgangsbeschränkungen umgingen, wie aber auch erkannt wurde, dass bestimmte Arbeitsanforderungen den direkten Kontakt benötigen. Die gesammelten Erkenntnisse und Maßnahmen aus den befragten Unternehmen des flexible.office.network. sind eine hilfreiche Orientierung zum Nachlesen. Nicht alles, was in den letzten Jahren an Erkenntnissen gewonnen wurde, muss über Bord geworfen und auch die Arbeit nicht neu erfunden werden. Man erkannte sehr schnell, was war – auch aus der veränderten Sichtweise in der Krise – bisher richtig, was muss verändert, was muss gecancelt werden. Und was muss neu in unser Bewusstsein aufgenommen werden, um den Weg in eine neue Epoche danach zu beschreiten. "Manche Unternehmen müssen sich nun in Zusammenhang mit Homeoffice und CoworkingLösungen auch mit strukturellen Fragen beschäftigen, auf deren Beantwortung sie nicht vorbereitet waren.

Lantern: A domain specific language for energy awareness in smart-homes
Authors: Robinson Jon , Lee Kevin , Appiah Kofi
Published: November 2020

This paper argues that energy consideration should be central to software development. It speculates that including the notion of energy awareness in programming language design for domain specific languages (DSLs) is a novel way in which energy-aware and energy-efficient applications can be developed. It outlines the design criteria and rationale for using a language-focused approach for energy-awareness. It proposes Lantern, a DSL for supporting energy awareness in Cyber-Physical Systems software development. Lantern allows the development of applications that better manage and reduce the carbon footprint of devices. The design of Lantern is aimed at supporting the general development of Cyber-Physical Systems. This paper focuses on the scenario of smart homes, using statically defined locations within a specified environment.
Cancer immunoediting: A game theoretical approach
Authors: Tavakoli Fatemeh , Sartakhti Javad Salimi , Manshaei Mohammad Hossein , Basanta David
Published: November 2020

The role of the immune system in tumor development increasingly includes the idea of cancer immunoediting. It comprises three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape. In the first phase, elimination, transformed cells are recognized and destroyed by immune system. The rare tumor cells that are not destroyed in this phase may then enter the equilibrium phase, where their growth is prevented by immunity mechanisms. The escape phase represents the final phase of this process, where cancer cells begin to grow unconstrained by the immune system. In this study, we describe and analyze an evolutionary game theoretical model of proliferating, quiescent, and immune cells interactions for the first time. The proposed model is evaluated with constant and dynamic approaches. Population dynamics and interactions between the immune system and cancer cells are investigated. Stability of equilibria or critical points are analyzed by applying algebraic analysis. This model allows us to understand the process of cancer development and might help us design better treatment strategies to account for immunoediting.

Background: Rapid technological advances offer a possibility to develop cost-effective digital cognitive assessment tools. However, it is unclear whether these measures are suitable for application in populations from Low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Objective: To examine the accuracy and validity of the Brain Health Assessment (BHA) in detecting cognitive impairment in a Cuban population. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 146 participants (cognitively healthy = 53, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) = 46, dementia = 47) were recruited at primary care and tertiary clinics. The main outcomes included: accuracy of the BHA and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in discriminating between controls and cognitively impaired groups (MCI and dementia) and correlations between the BHA subtests of memory, executive functions, and visuospatial skills and criterion-standard paper-and-pencil tests in the same domains. Results: The BHA had an AUC of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91–0.98) in discriminating between controls and cognitively impaired groups (MCI and dementia, combined) with 0.91 sensitivity at 0.85 specificity. In discriminating between control and MCI groups only, the BHA tests had an AUC of 0.94 (95% CI: 0.90–0.99) with 0.71 sensitivity at 0.85 specificity. Performance was superior to the MoCA across all diagnostic groups. Concurrent and discriminant validity analyses showed moderate to strong correlations between the BHA tests and standard paper-and-pencil measures in the same domain and weak correlations with standard measures in unrelated domains. Conclusion: The BHA has excellent performance characteristics in detecting cognitive impairment including dementia and MCI in a Hispanic population in Cuba and outperformed the MoCA. These results support potential application of digital cognitive assessment for older adults in LMIC.
Effect of Slice Priority for admission control in 5G Wireless Networks: A comparison study for two Fuzzy-based systems considering Software-Defined-Networks

Published: November 2020

The Fifth Generation (5G) networks are expected to be flexible to satisfy demands of high-quality services such as high speed, low latencies and enhanced reliability from customers. Also, the rapidly increasing amount of user devices and high user’s requests becomes a problem. Thus, the Software-Defined Network (SDN) will be the key function for efficient management and control. To deal with these problems, we propose a Fuzzy-based SDN approach. This paper presents and compares two Fuzzy-based Systems for Admission Control (FBSAC) in 5G wireless networks: FBSAC1 and FBSAC2. The FBSAC1 considers for admission control decision three parameters: Grade of Service (GS), User Request Delay Time (URDT) and Network Slice Size (NSS). In FBSAC2, we consider as an additional parameter the Slice Priority (SP). So, FBSAC2 has four input parameters. The simulation results show that the FBSAC2 is more complex than FBSAC1, but it has a better performance for admission control.
IBMDA: Information based misbehavior detection algorithm for VANET
Authors: Singh Dinesh , Ranvijay  , Yadav Rama Shankar
Published: November 2020

The safety event information sharing among the vehicles in motion is the primary goal to design the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). The shared safety event information assists vehicles to avoid road accidents and driving inconvenience. The advantages of safety event information sharing in VANET has become blunt due to the misbehavior of vehicles. The vehicle’s misbehavior like dissemination of false information, reply of bogus messages, etc., can create traffic hazards on the road and may result in the loss of property and human lives. In VANET, the detection of such misbehaving vehicles along with minimum time delay in flooding safety event information (i.e., incident delay) to others is challenging due to the high speed of vehicles. The formation of stable VANET topology is a feasible solution among many to improve the performance of misbehavior detection and reducing incident delay even with high speed of vehicles. In this paper, we propose an information based misbehavior detection algorithm (IBMDA) that effectively works in stable cluster based VANET. Our proposed IBMDA algorithm that runs on the selected cluster head vehicles is used to verify the content of received safety event messages. The identification of vehicles as malicious or non malicious depends on the result of verification at cluster heads. An illustrative example is given to explore our proposed algorithm easily and effectively. The highway scenario is considered to test the performance of our proposed IBMDA algorithm. The simulation is performed with a detailed comparative analysis using ns-3 simulator. It is observed that under the considered scenario, our proposed algorithm improves the misbehavior detection accuracy up to 6.46% and reduces average incident delay approximately up to 14.78% as compared to existing algorithms.

Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to explore the association of nutritional intake and aggression among a nationally representative sample of Iranian children and adolescents.

METHODS:

This nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted on a multi-stage sample of 14880 students, aged 6–18 years, living in 30 provinces in Iran. Parents were asked to report the dietary intake of their children as frequency of food groups and/or items. The validated questionnaire of the World Health Organization-Global School-based Health Survey (WHO-GSHS) was used to measure components related to aggression including physical fight, verbal aggression, and being bullied by other students.

RESULTS:

Participants consisted of 13486 students (90.6% participation rate) with mean age of 12.47 years (95% CI: 12.40, 12.54); 49.2% were girls, and 75.6% lived in urban areas. Physical fighting was more prevalent among urban boys[(48.63%), CI (46.75, 50.5)] while bulling was the most common aggressive behavior among boys [(29.7%), CI (28.03, 31.42)] and girls [(25.26%), CI (23.66, 26.93)] living in urban areas. Daily consumption of fast foods, sweets, soda, salty snacks and fried foods was higher among those participants who reported frequent experience of physical aggression and bullying. Bullying to others increased significantly with consumption of fast food (Odds ratio: 1.43, CI: 1.07, 1.92) and red meat (Odds ratio: 1.14, CI: 1.02, 1.28). Salty snack consumption showed a significant association with physical fighting (Odds ratio: 1.29, CI: 1.15, 1.44).

CONCLUSION:

The findings of this study suggest that some unhealthy foods might affect the mental health of children and adolescents. Improving dietary habits should be considered for prevention of violence in the vulnerable pediatric age group.

Previous studies demonstrated lower serum zinc among prediabetics and diabetics, compared to normoglycemics, however no current data is available for regional Australia.

OBJECTIVE:

We aimed to determine the relationship between serum zinc, glycemic status and Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA2) parameters in a regional Australian hospital population.

METHODS:

Retrospective review of patients presenting to a regional Australian hospital between June-2004 and April-2017 was conducted. Patients ordered for fasting blood glucose (FBG)+serum zinc; or FBG+serum insulin; or FBG+serum zinc+serum insulin were included. Serum zinc, FBG, serum insulin, lipid profile, vitamin-D and demographic information were collected. β-cell function, insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity were calculated by HOMA2 calculator.

RESULTS:

Three hundred and thirteen patient records were retrieved: 75% normoglycemic, 19% prediabetic, 6% diabetic. Serum zinc was lowest in diabetics and lower in prediabetics than normoglycemics. In simple linear regression among all participants, higher serum zinc associated with increased insulin sensitivity, decreased insulin resistance and decreased β-cell function.

CONCLUSIONS:

The low serum zinc status exhibited in diabetic and prediabetic individuals may play a role in insulin resistance pathogenesis. Higher zinc levels associated with greater insulin sensitivity and lower insulin resistance signifying the importance of investigating zinc supplementation in prediabetics to prevent or delay diabetes in future studies.
Comparing Degenerate Strings

Published: November 2020

Uncertain sequences are compact representations of sets of similar strings. They highlight common segments by collapsing them, and explicitly represent varying segments by listing all possible options. A generalized degenerate string (GD string) is a type of uncertain sequence. Formally, a GD string Ŝ is a sequence of n sets of strings of total size N, where the ith set contains strings of the same length ki but this length can vary between different sets. We denote by W the sum of these lengths k0, k1, …, kn-1. Our main result is an O(N + M)-time algorithm for deciding whether two GD strings of total sizes N and M, respectively, over an integer alphabet, have a non-empty intersection. This result is based on a combinatorial result of independent interest: although the intersection of two GD strings can be exponential in the total size of the two strings, it can be represented in linear space. We then apply our string comparison tool to devise a simple algorithm for computing all palindromes in Ŝ in O(min{W, n2}N)-time. We complement this upper bound by showing a similar conditional lower bound for computing maximal palindromes in Ŝ. We also show that a result, which is essentially the same as our string comparison linear-time algorithm, can be obtained by employing an automata-based approach.
Target-oriented Petri Net Synthesis

Published: November 2020

When a Petri net is synthesised from a labelled transition system, it is frequently desirable that certain additional constraints are fulfilled. For example, in circuit design, one is often interested in constructing safe Petri nets. Targeting such subclasses of Petri nets is not necessarily computationally more efficient than targeting the whole class. For example, targeting safe nets is known to be NP-complete while targeting the full class of place/transition nets is polynomial, in the size of the transition system. In this paper, several classes of Petri nets are examined, and their suitability for being targeted through efficient synthesis from labelled transition systems is studied and assessed. The focus is on choice-free Petri nets and some of their subclasses. It is described how they can be synthesised efficiently from persistent transition systems, summarising and streamlining in tutorial style some of the authors’ and their groups’ work over the past few years.
Multi-valued Verification of Strategic Ability
Authors: Jamroga Wojciech , Konikowska Beata , Kurpiewski Damian , Penczek Wojciech
Published: November 2020

Some multi-agent scenarios call for the possibility of evaluating specifications in a richer domain of truth values. Examples include runtime monitoring of a temporal property over a growing prefix of an infinite path, inconsistency analysis in distributed databases, and verification methods that use incomplete anytime algorithms, such as bounded model checking. In this paper, we present multi-valued alternating-time temporal logic (mv-ATL*→), an expressive logic to specify strategic abilities in multi-agent systems. It is well known that, for branching-time logics, a general method for model-independent translation from multi-valued to two-valued model checking exists. We show that the method cannot be directly extended to mv-ATL*→. We also propose two ways of overcoming the problem. Firstly, we identify constraints on formulas for which the model-independent translation can be suitably adapted. Secondly, we present a model-dependent reduction that can be applied to all formulas of mv-ATL*→. We show that, in all cases, the complexity of verification increases only linearly when new truth values are added to the evaluation domain. We also consider several examples that show possible applications of mv-ATL*→ and motivate its use for model checking multi-agent systems.
Algebraic Structure of Step Traces and Interval Traces
Authors: Janicki Ryszard , Mikulski Łukasz
Published: November 2020

Traces and their extensions as comtraces, step traces and interval traces are quotient monoids over sequences or step sequences that play an important role in the formal analysis and verification of concurrent systems. Step traces are generalizations of comtraces and classical traces while interval traces are specialized traces that can deal with interval order semantics. The algebraic structures and their properties as projections, hidings, canonical forms and other invariants are very well established for traces and fairly well established for comtraces. For step traces and interval traces they are the main subject of this paper.
Network Controllability Analysis of Three Multiple-myeloma Patient Genetic Mutation Datasets
Authors: Sanchez Martin Jose Angel , Petre Ion
Published: November 2020

Network controllability focuses on the concept of driving the dynamical system associated to a directed network of interactions from an arbitrary initial state to an arbitrary final state, through a well-chosen set of input functions applied in a minimal number of so-called input nodes. In earlier studies we and other groups demonstrated the potential of applying this concept in medicine. A directed network of interactions may be built around the main known drivers of the disease being studied, and then analysed to identify combinations of drug targets controlling survivability-essential genes in the network. This paper takes the next step and focuses on patient data. We demonstrate that comprehensive protein-protein interaction networks can be built around patient genetic data, and that network controllability can be used to identify possible personalised drug combinations. We discuss the algorithmic methods that can be used to construct and analyse these networks.
