One in Ten CD8+ Cells in the Pancreas of Living Individuals With Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Recognizes the Preproinsulin Epitope PPI15-24
Authors: Rodriguez-Calvo Teresa , Krogvold Lars , Amirian Natalie , Dahl-Jørgensen Knut , von Herrath Matthias
Published: January 2021

In type 1 diabetes (T1D), a lifelong autoimmune disease, T cells infiltrate the islets and the exocrine pancreas in high numbers. CD8+ T cells are the main cell type found in the insulitic lesion, and CD8+ T cells reactive against β-cell antigens have been detected in peripheral blood and in the pancreas of patients with short- or long-term disease. In the Diabetes Virus Detection (DiViD) study, researchers collected pancreatic tissue, by pancreatic tail resection, from living patients with recent-onset T1D. These tissues have been extensively studied by the scientific community, but the autoreactive nature of the T-cell infiltrate has remained unexplored. Our objective was to determine the number and localization of these cells in pancreas samples obtained through the DiViD study. Here, we demonstrate the presence of high frequencies of CD8+ T cells reactive against a highly relevant epitope derived from the preproinsulin signal peptide in pancreatic tissue samples from these donors. We also show the heterogeneity of islet distribution and CD8+ T-cell infiltration. Our findings contribute to the current limited existing knowledge of T-cell reactivity in the pancreas of donors with recent-onset T1D and indicate that antigen-specific therapies directed toward preproinsulin could have high clinical impact.
Heme Oxygenase-1 Regulates Ferrous Iron and Foxo1 in Control of Hepatic Gluconeogenesis

Published: January 2021

The liver is a key player for maintaining glucose homeostasis. Excessive hepatic glucose production is considered to be a key for the onset of type 2 diabetes. The primary function of heme oxygenase-1 (HO1) is to catalyze the degradation of heme into biliverdin, ferrous iron, and carbon monoxide. Previous studies have demonstrated that the degradation of heme by HO1 in the liver results in mitochondrial dysfunction and drives insulin resistance. In this study, by overexpressing HO1 in hepatocytes and mice, we showed that HO1 promotes gluconeogenesis in a Foxo1-dependent manner. Importantly, HO1 overexpression increased the generation of ferrous iron in the liver, which further activates nuclear factor-κB and phosphorylates Foxo1 at Ser273 to enhance gluconeogenesis. We further assessed the role of HO1 in insulin-resistant liver-specific knockout of IRS1 and IRS2 genes (L-DKO) mice, which exhibit upregulation of HO1 in the liver and hepatic ferrous iron overload. HO1 knockdown by shRNA or treatment of iron chelator rescued the aberrant gluconeogenesis in L-DKO mice. In addition, we found that systemic iron overload promotes gluconeogenesis by activating the hepatic protein kinase A→Foxo1 axis. Thus, our results demonstrate the role of HO1 in regulating hepatic iron status and Foxo1 to control gluconeogenesis and blood glucose.
Assessing Long-Term Deforestation In Nam San Watershed, Loei Province, Thailand Using A Dyna-Clue Model
Authors: Waiyasusri Katawut , Wetchayont Parichat
Published: January 2021

This research analyzed land-use changes (LUC) in the Nam San Watershed (NSW) by applying geoinformatics methods and land-use modeling approach to explore LUC in the past. Landsat satellite images from years 2002, 2007 and 2013 were classified using a maximum likelihood algorithm to create land-use maps. For assessing future LUC over a period of twenty years (2014–2033), land-use simulations were conducted using a dynamic LUC model (Dyna-CLUE model) in two land management scenarios: Scenario 1 is a simple projection of the LUC trend without reservation area, while Scenario 2 projects the LUC trend with reservation area in future periods. NSW land-use maps for 2002–2013 were analyzed using geoinformatics technology. The results revealed that the amount of forested area within the NSW has reduced drastically, from 380.40 km² to 267.23 km², changing to fields and perennial crops, which the logistic regression identified as being influenced by a slope factor. These data was used as a reference for LUC detection with the model simulation in two scenarios. Model results have shown that by 2033, Scenario 1 predicts a significant decrease in the overall forest area, from 72.21 km² to 41.55 km² in Phu Ruea district, and from 107.31 km² to 45.62 km² in Phu Luang district. Whereas Scenario 2 predicts slightly decreasing forest area within the reservation area, but rapid decrease, from 177.86 km² to 28.54 km² outside the reservation area, where the distance to village factor is the main influencer. These findings highlight the importance and the potential of model predictions for planning activities to protect forested areas.

Published: January 2021

Esse artigo questiona se o edital de iniciação científica da Universidade Federal Fluminense de fevereiro de 2019, que estabeleceu pontuação diferenciada para estudantes que tiveram licença-maternidade/paternidade nos últimos dois anos, adequa-se à noção de igualdade de Sandra Fredman. Primeiramente, observa-se de que forma a divisão sexual do trabalho, em especial a maternidade, afeta essas pesquisadoras(es). Em seguida, o trabalho desenvolve a noção de igualdade da autora para verificar se a política adotada atende aos pressupostos que ela propõe. Finalmente, verifica-se se tal política produz discriminação reversa para garantir que esta medida não cause outra desigualdade. Constata-se que a medida adotada é adequada como resposta imediata à desigualdade estruturalmente imposta pela divisão sexual do trabalho.
Ativismo judicial e representação política: a crise institucional brasileira
Authors: Ramos Elival Da Silva
Published: January 2021

Pretende-se com este artigo abordar a crise institucional brasileira, identificada como a mais grave de nossas crises atuais, dado o seu caráter estrutural e de precedência em relação à resolução das demais (sanitária e econômico-social). A disfunção de nosso arranjo institucional resta evidenciada em face do protagonismo que vem sendo assumido pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal nos últimos anos, não apenas em face do volume e importância dos casos apreciados pela Corte ou dos mecanismos de centralização da política judiciária postos à sua disposição, mas, sobretudo, pela sensação de que não há limites jurídicos oponíveis à sua atuação. Nesse sentido, buscou-se identificar as causas mais diretamente relacionadas ao fenômeno, que obedecem a dois vetores distintos: a fragilização da representação política, provocada pela fragmentação/inautenticidade partidárias e pela inadequação do sistema de governo presidencialista (causa político-estrutural); e a disseminação, acadêmica e judiciária, do neoconstitucionalismo (causa jurídico-ideológica). Sem a pretensão de apresentar uma “receita pronta” para a necessária reformatação das instituições avaliadas, foram trazidas algumas indicações dos caminhos que, na visão do autor, deveriam ser percorridos, observadas a prioridade de agenda e as peculiaridades da sociedade brasileira.
Reforming education and science in Russia as manipulating with the mass consciousness
Authors: Kornilova E. N.
Published: January 2021

The technique and methods of manipulating with the mass consciousness started to attract the attention of researches at the latter half of the XXth century, although the practice of such forms of influence on the mass audience existed almost at the earliest stages of human development. Paralogisms as a way of rhetorical influence on the listener were specified by Aristotle, who dedicated his students into the sacraments of exposing false arguments and other manipulative techniques with which the speaker is working with the audience. The modern manipulators are actively using both ancient and modern methods of influencing the mass consciousness. Researches of various specialties were describing and exposing them: among them sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, and journalists. In the present work the author demonstrates how through the usage of the ancient archetypes of the collective unconscious, as well as new manipulative practices (that were invented for the unhindered sale of goods and services that can guarantee getting of surplus profits) large capital holders are seeking for changing the value orientations of society, that leads to the reformation of the various social institutions. These reforms are causing the irreparable damage to the majority of the country's population, are infringing rights and social privileges, but allow to the financial and industrial syndicates to establish the full control not only over wallets, but also over people's minds. Manipulations of consciousness, conducted through the media, are making large social groups of people to vote against their own interests. The result of the reforms is not only the impoverishment of the citizens, but also the huge change in the appearance of the cultural elite. A significant help to manipulators in achieving their goals becomes the digitalization of all aspects of social and cultural life.

Current Role of Anti-Integrin Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Winston Kevin , Maulahela Hasan , Lusiani Lusiani , Dewangga Raditya , Ilhami Lazuardi G
Published: January 2021

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory intestinal disorder with multifactorial etiology. Management of IBD is divided into conventional treatment and new treatment with biologic agents. The first biologic agents used for IBD was tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-inhibitor. However, TNF-inhibitor as a biologic agent has several limitations such as low rate of clinical response and systemic immunosuppressive side effects. Anti-integrin is a recently developed biologic agent which selectively inhibits leukocyte trafficking towards site of inflammation. The inhibition is caused by blocking the actions of integrin, a cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that is necessary for leukocyte trafficking and leukocytes express specific integrin receptors for specific organs. Therefore, use of gut-specific anti-integrin agents in IBD can selectively prevent influx of leukocytes into the intestine to reduce inflammation without reducing immune function in other locations. As a result, gut-specific anti-integrin is hypothesized to have lower risk of infections and lower risk of malignancy than TNF-inhibitor while maintaining high therapeutic benefits, making anti-integrin a promising therapy for IBD in the future.
Clinical Outcome Controversy in Helicobacter pylori Infection
Authors: Miftahussurur Muhammad , Oktaricha Heasty , Sugihartono Titong
Published: January 2021

H. pylori infection can manifest as intestinal and extraintestinal disease. In this review, we summarize several factors that cause differences in clinical manifestations of H. pylori infection. Host inflammatory response and bacterial virulence are key in determining the pattern of acid secretion and gastritis. The acid level factor that has a greater effect, not H. pylori infection itself. Gastritis predominant in the gastric in the initial phase will produce higher acid and trigger GERD. H. pylori is also the cause of gastric adenocarcinoma. Different vacA genotypes are related to the risk of clinical manifestations such as peptic ulcer or gastric cancer. However, there is variance prevalence in some countries which can be explained through a combination of several factors including age at infection, virulence factors of H. pylori, host genetic profile, and environmental factors. Besides, important differences were found at a locus in CagA H. pylori which resulted in differences in clinical outcomes in the form of gastritis or MALT lymphoma. H. pylori infection alone is not enough to trigger  idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Additional triggers are needed to obtain an anti-platelet autoimmune response at ITP associated with H. pylori. Therefore, the difference in clinical manifestations of H. pylori infection remains controversial. H. pylori is not only a single cause, but the host and environmental factors also contribute to producing different responses.

Masdar City: A Study of Energy, Infrastructure, and Technological Hope Hope
Authors: D'Eramo Aaron
Published: January 2021

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been a major supplier of fossil fuel for the world economy for decades, which has allowed the country to thrive economically. But global concerns over ecological destruction and climate change is prompting the UAE’s leaders to pursue alternative sources of energy. From this ecological fear, Masdar City was born, an ambitious project that hopes to create the world’s first “zero-carbon” emission city. The project’s goal is to utilize energy in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable system without sacrificing modern lifestyles. This case study will utilize theory on energy and infrastructures to analyze the implications of the project’s innovations, as well as to explore the rising intersection of neoliberalism and environmentalism to understand how a project like Masdar came to be. In 2016, ten years after its initial construction, the city still had not achieved net zero-carbon emissions, but a mere 50%. The project’s ambitions included the creation of a new energy-based currency to account for consumption, and the integration of a massive data vault that stores all consumption of energy.What is found is a complex and highly integrated information system that could lead to the selling of information and the corporate/governmental manipulation of data for control over populations.

Published: January 2021

This paper is about the various limitations of the novel Li-Fi technology and perhaps those which have an adverse impact on its security and efficiency. Line of sight has been one of the major barriers for VLC based technology which causes eminent hindrance in the widen applicability of the technology. Li-Fi is a non-Line of Sight alternative which does not merely confine its limits or depreciates its efficiency; in fact, it makes it an ineffective option for the LoS based scenarios. This paper will discuss the hybrid approach to wireless solutions in an effort to address the said impediments. This paper also discusses the methods to minimize the lope holes which jeopardize the gains associated with the non Line of sight (NLoS) nature of the light propagation and explains ways to control eavesdropping.

Space and Beholder in Nineteenth‑Century Sacred Architecture
Authors: Bałus Wojciech
Published: January 2021

Na idealne doświadczanie gotyckiej i neogotyckiej świątyni w XIX w. składają się dwa różne elementy. Z jednej strony wymagało ono fizycznego ruchu po wnętrzu kościoła (doświadczenie kinestetyczne), a z drugiej – niemal całkowitego pozbycia się ciała, aby człowiek wchodzący do świątyni mógł się duchowo wznieść do niebios (doświadczenie „ekstatyczne”). Ruch fizyczny oraz zmysłowe doświadczanie służyły przede wszystkim rozszyfrowaniu symbolizmu tkwiącego w przestrzennej strukturze kościoła, jego architekturze, dekoracji i wyposażeniu jako chrześcijańskiej drogi życia (chrzcielnica – początek życia, nawa główna – ziemia, Ecclesia militans, chór – niebo, Ecclesia triumphans). „Wzloty”, choć rozpoczynały się od kinestezji i efektów odbieranych w ciele, miały się sublimować w czysto duchowe doświadczenie – na granicy wręcz całkowitego wyswobodzenia się z ciała, ponieważ rodziły się na skutek pionowego ukierunkowania wręcz eterycznych wnętrz przenikniętych światłem, w których faktyczny układ przestrzenny w tym momencie nie miał znaczenia. Pierwszy zatem z tych elementów łączył doświadczenie z konkretną przestrzenią architektoniczną, podczas gdy drugi – pozbawiając budowle ich materialności oraz wyraźnie wydzielonych przestrzeni, przekształcał je w metaforyczne wstępowanie na niebiosa. Obie formy odbioru świątyni opierały się na wierze w „chrześcijańską rzeczywistość”. Ten szczególny typ rzeczywistości wymagał nie tylko wiedzy na temat zasad symbolizmu, lecz także metafor, które wynikały z odkrywania w architekturze odniesień do tego, co stanowi nadprzyrodzoną niebiańską rzeczywistość. Właśnie dzięki symbolice świątynia mogła być postrzegana jako „chrześcijańska droga życia”, a dzięki włączeniu pierwiastka zakorzenionego w religijności – być doświadczana jako „alegoria życia mistycznego” czy „petryfikacja naszej religii” – „rodzaj kościoła duchowego”, jak to nazwał w swoim sonecie Wordsworth.

Language development in early childhood is the most important aspect for early childhood. Through language, children can develop the ability to communicate with other people and children can express their thoughts using language so that other people can understand what the child is thinking. On the other hand, it is not surprising that language is considered as an indicator of a child's success. In the aspect of language development, the expected competence and results are that children are able to use language as a passive understanding of language and can communicate effectively which is useful for thinking and learning well. The role of parents is very important for children's language development by providing appropriate stimulations so that language development can develop optimally

Gadgets are a result of the development of information technology. Gadgets are multi-functional media that are not only used as a medium of communication but also as a medium of information and recreation. With this small device, a wireless gadget can be carried and used anywhere. Not a few people are addicted to gadgets, including children. This dependence can be caused because gadgets help in work, it can also be due to dependency due to hobbies so that it becomes "addictive". Social development must be honed from an early age. It will be an obstacle if children prefer to play with gadgets, because it will reduce children's interactions with parents, siblings, peers, or other people. Social development in children will not be optimal due to the lack of interaction. Here, parenting styles from parents are needed in managing the use of gadgets in children
Managing your mind: how simple activities within the curriculum can improve undergraduate students' mental health and wellbeing
Authors: Edwards Eleanor Roisin , Interthal Heidrun , McQueen Heather
Published: January 2021

The transition into higher education stretches students socially, academically and within their personal lives requiring adaptation and development of resilience. For many, such demands may lead to decreased mental well-being and, for some, mental ill-health.This project aimed to trial simple mental health awareness and well-being tasks with first year undergraduate students, and to determine whether students find these interventions beneficial and worthy of embedding as transition activities within the first-year curriculum. Four activities were trialled with 185 first-year students who reported the activities as beneficial. All activities caused an overall increase in student knowledge of how to maintain good mental well-being. In the light of this project’s findings, such activities are recommended for embedding into the first-year curriculum and throughout higher education.

No presente trabalho investigou-se como está sendo feito o uso das tecnologias de informação e armazenamento de dados no auxílio ao combate à pandemia gerada pelo novo coronavírus, doença até então desconhecida, mas que gerou impacto mundial em razão da necessidade de distanciamento social e da ausência de medicamentos específicos ou cura comprovados. Em uma sociedade na qual a tecnologia e a comunicação se fazem bastante presentes, governos passam a fazer uso destes mecanismos e da inteligência artificial para frear o avanço da COVID-19. No entanto, salientou-se a necessidade de preocupação com a proteção dos dados de toda a população envolvida e com a forma como estes serão utilizados, não somente no cenário atual, mas também em um futuro próximo. Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise das legislações em um cenário nacional e internacional, bem como apresentaram-se as soluções adotadas no Brasil para enfrentar o problema apresentado, como a elaboração da Lei de Proteção de Dados e o uso de novas tecnologias.
Religión, medicina popular y curanderos en la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina, 1880-1941)
Authors: Dahhur Astrid
Published: January 2021

La medicina popular ha empleado diversas prácticas –la herboristería y la magia han sido algunas de ellas– para curar diferentes males tales como esguinces o hasta cuadros bacterianos o virales. Desde la medicina académica se buscó desacreditarla en un intento por monopolizar el campo. Uno de los motivos por los cuales su éxito fue relativo fue el componente cultural de la medicina popular, representado en algunos aspectos religiosos de las curas empleadas por sus agentes: los curanderos. En este artículo analizaremos la impronta de la religión en algunos casos de medicina popular a través de fuentes judiciales de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, en un período de sesenta años.
Kentsel Izgara Formunun Kullanıcı Hareketlerine Etkisinin Mekân Dizim Yöntemi ile İncelenmesi Isparta Kafeler Caddesi Örneği

Çalışma, Isparta kent merkezinde yer alan eğlence merkezleri açısından oldukça önemli bir yere sahip olan ve kullanıcıların büyük çoğunluğunu genç kesimin oluşturduğu Kafeler Caddesi’ni kapsamaktadır. Yapısal olarak sokaklardan oluşan, ızgara formundaki alanda karşılıklı ve sıralı dükkânlar yer almaktadır. Yöntem olarak, şehirlerin algılanmasını, mekânsal oluşumu, yaya hareketlerini anlamaya, anlatmaya ve tahmin etmeye yönelik teknikler topluluğu olan Mekân Dizimi’mi (Space Syntax) kullanılmıştır. Mekân Dizimi, bulunduğu alanın ızgara yapısının, mekânları bütünleştirici etkisi üzerinde durmaktadır. Buna göre, ızgara kent formlarının bütünleşme ve yaya hareketlerinde etkisinin ne olduğu önemli bir soruyu oluşturmaktadır. Yöntem kapsamında da kent ızgarasının kullanıcı hareketliliğine etkisi; alanın mekân dizim analizleri ve her bir sokak üzerinde yaya sayımları yapılarak incelenmiştir. Bu durumu değiştirecek başka bir faktör olmadığı takdirde, mekânsal oluşum, kullanıcı hareketlerinde belirleyici olmaktadır. Mekân ve kent topoğrafyası gibi olguların belirleyici olduğu bu yöntemde, çevredeki davranış biçimleri referans alınır. Bu bağlamda; kent ızgarasının, yaya hareketliliği üzerindeki etkisini sorgulamak, eğer varsa neler olduğunu tespit etmek çalışmanın amacını ve özgün değerini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma sonucuna göre, sokak genişliği, mekânların fonksiyonu, yapı yüksekliği gibi kent ızgarası bağlamında değerlendirilen parametrelerin yaya hareketliliğini etkilediği görülmüştür.
Using YouTube Videos to Promote Universities : A Content Analysis
Authors: AISDL
Published: January 2021

In today’s global higher education environment, international students represent not only an important source of external income for universities: the degree of cross-border student mobility also reflects the internationalization of higher education sector. Universities have engaged in efforts to sell themselves to prospective students and promotional videos are among the most widely used marketing tools for this purpose. This study reports the results of a study analyzing the content of 140 higher education promotional videos from 14 countries available on YouTube. The results reveal that while the pattern of use of YouTube for two-waycommunication with viewers, information contents and appeal messages among sampled universities is fairly homogenous, some marked differences emerge when cultural background and global position ranking of the university are taken into account. The implications of these findings are that, although, transnational higher education has been profoundly globalized, culture still plays a significant role in marketing practice for the recruitment of mobile students. In addition, different universities have various student-targeted segments. These findings provide the basis of a series of recommendations for universities looking to optimize their use of YouTube and promotional video design to market to international students.
Formalization Of Theories of Design Using: First Order Logic Augmented With A Causal Calculus; And Entropy of a Design Defined In Terms Of The Function, Behavior and Structure Ontology.
Authors: GURUMURTHI KARTHIK
Published: January 2021

A symbolic logical framework (L) consisting of first order logic augmented with a causal calculus has been provided to formalize, axiomatize and integrate theories of design. L is used to represent designs in the Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS) ontology in a single, widely applicable language that enables the following: seamless integration of representations of function, behavior and structure; and generality in the formalization of theories of design. FRs, constraints, structure and behavior are represented as sentences in L. FRs are represented (as abstractions of behavior) in the form of existentially quantified sentences, the instantiation of whose individual variables yields the representation of behavior. This enables the logical implication of FRs by behavior, without recourse to apriori criteria for satisfaction of FRs by behavior. Functional decomposition is represented to enable lower level FRs to logically imply the satisfaction of higher level FRs. The theory of whether and how structure and behavior satisfy FRs and constraints is represented as a formal proof in L. Important general attributes of designs such as solution-neutrality of FRs, probability of satisfaction of requirements and constraints (calculated in a Bayesian framework using Monte Carlo simulation), extent and nature of coupling, etc. have been defined in terms of the representation of a design in L. The entropy of a design is defined in terms of the above attributes of a design, based on which a general theory of what constitutes a good design has been formalized to include the desirability of solution-neutrality of (especially higher level) FRs, high probability of satisfaction of requirements and constraints, wide specifications, low variability and bias, use of fewer attributes to specify the design, less coupling (especially circular coupling at higher levels of FRs), parametrization, standardization, etc..
The Effects of Dire and Solvable Messages on Belief in Climate Change: A Replication Study
Authors: Voelkel Jan G. , Abeles Adina T , Willer Robb
Published: January 2021

Skepticism about climate change persists in the general public. Psychologists disagree on whether dire messages (emphasizing negative consequences) and solvable messages (emphasizing potential solutions) interact to increase or reduce belief in climate change, and whether the effects depend on recipients’ psychological dispositions. A highly cited paper in this literature (Feinberg & Willer, 2011) found that dire and solvable messages decreased, whereas dire and unsolvable messages increased climate change skepticism among people with a strong – but not among those with a weak – belief in a just world. However, the validity of these influential results needs to be reassessed due to the underpowered nature of the original studies and shifting public opinion about climate change. In the current study, we propose several highly powered (total n = 6860) conceptual and direct replications of Feinberg and Willer (2011).
