The COVID-19 is causing many changes in the daily lives of people around the world, but some things can be done to maintain a healthy lifestyle in these difficult times by taking a proper diet during COVID pandemic. It is difficult to follow any of the physical activities during the lockdown period, as successfully as before. This inertia may lead to indigestion and related health issues. The proper diet planning is an utmost aspect which includes the food habits, nutrition, wholesome diet, low calory diet healthy diet, Easily digested diet and the schedule of food. Dietary measures include various things like the type of diet, time to consume, the interval between two food, intake of food, nutrition values, proper calory intake. āyurveda prescribes food regime as a part of the treatment. The crucial concept of āyurveda regarding the type of diet is in the form of sattvic, rajasic and tāmasik food that helps a person maintain the physical equilibrium to sustain and manage good health in critical conditions like COVID-19. Sleep is an essential component of healthy living. There is a strong relationship between the gut and the mind. Proper sleep is vital to digest the food and enhances immunity in the lockdown period. Scheduling of the diet and its management plays a significant role in good health. Thus, administration of diet is the leading factor during COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: June 2020

A phytochemical investigation of whole Aspidistra letreae plants led to the isolation of 2H-chromen-2-one (1), α-tocopherol (2), (E)-phytol (3), asparenydiol (4) and (25S)-spirost-1β,3α,5β-triol (5). Their structures were determined on the basis of NMR spectral evidences and in comparison with the reported data. Of these, asparenydiol (4) was isolated from the genus Aspidistra for the first time. This is also the first report on the separation and structural determination of (25S)-spirost-1β,3α,5β-triol (5) as a pure compound. The methanol extract from the whole plants of Aspidistra letreae exhibits moderate cytotoxicity against the LU-1, HeLa, MDA-MB-231, Hep-G2, and MKN-7 human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 52.58 ± 3.65 to 64.78 ± 4.89 μg/mL.
Fabrication CdS/Au/TiO2 sandwich nanofibers for enhanced photoelectrochemical water-splitting efficiency
Authors: Nguyen Van Nghia , Nguyen Manh Son , Doan Minh Thuy
Published: June 2020

The sandwich-structured CdS/Au/TiO2 nanofibers (NFs) act as a photoanode in the photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) for hydrogen generation by splitting water. The gold nanoparticles sandwiched between the TiO2 nanofibers and the CdS quantum dots (QDs) layers play an important role in enhancing the solar-to-chemical-energy conversion efficiency. The structure and morphology of the materials were characterized by using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE–SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the Au nanoparticles was investigated by using ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The PEC properties of the photoanode were measured on a three-electrode electrochemical analyzer. The obtained photoconversion efficiency of the CdS/Au/TiO2 NFs is 4.1% under simulated-sunlight illumination with a 150 W xenon lamp. Working photoelectrode stability was tested, and the mechanism of the enhanced PEC performance was discussed.
Small molecule inhibitors and a kinase-dead expressing mouse model demonstrate that the kinase activity of Chk1 is essential for mouse embryos and cancer cells
Authors: Muralidharan Somsundar V , Nilsson Lisa M , Lindberg Mattias F , Nilsson Jonas A
Published: June 2020

Chk1 kinase is downstream of the ATR kinase in the sensing of improper replication. Previous cell culture studies have demonstrated that Chk1 is essential for replication. Indeed, Chk1 inhibitors are efficacious against tumors with high-level replication stress such as Myc-induced lymphoma cells. Treatment with Chk1 inhibitors also combines well with certain chemotherapeutic drugs, and effects associate with the induction of DNA damage and reduction of Chk1 protein levels. Most studies of Chk1 function have relied on the use of inhibitors. Whether or not a mouse or cancer cells could survive if a kinase-dead form of Chk1 is expressed has not been investigated before. Here, we generate a mouse model that expresses a kinase-dead (D130A) allele in the mouse germ line. We find that this mouse is overtly normal and does not have problems with erythropoiesis with aging as previously been shown for a mouse expressing one null allele. However, similar to a null allele, homozygous kinase-dead mice cannot be generated, and timed pregnancies of heterozygous mice suggest lethality of homozygous blastocysts at around the time of implantation. By breeding the kinase-dead Chk1 mouse with a conditional allele, we are able to demonstrate that expression of only one kinase-dead allele, but no wild-type allele, of Chek1 is lethal for Myc-induced cancer cells. Finally, treatment of melanoma cells with tumor-infiltrating T cells or CAR-T cells is effective even if Chk1 is inhibited, suggesting that Chk1 inhibitors can be safely administered in patients where immunotherapy is an essential component of the arsenal against cancer.
Differential regulation of hepatic physiology and injury by the TAM receptors Axl and Mer

Published: June 2020

Genome-wide association studies have implicated the TAM receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) Mer in liver disease, yet our understanding of the role that Mer and its related RTKs Tyro3 and Axl play in liver homeostasis and the response to acute injury is limited. We find that Mer and Axl are most prominently expressed in hepatic Kupffer and endothelial cells and that as mice lacking these RTKs age, they develop profound liver disease characterized by apoptotic cell accumulation and immune activation. We further find that Mer is critical to the phagocytosis of apoptotic hepatocytes generated in settings of acute hepatic injury, and that Mer and Axl act in concert to inhibit cytokine production in these settings. In contrast, we find that Axl is uniquely important in mitigating liver damage during acetaminophen intoxication. Although Mer and Axl are protective in acute injury models, we find that Axl exacerbates fibrosis in a model of chronic injury. These divergent effects have important implications for the design and implementation of TAM-directed therapeutics that might target these RTKs in the liver.

Published: June 2020

Diagnostics of the load bearing capacity of machines and structures, service properties of structural materials are carried out by destructive and non-destructive methods. In the system of non-destructive methods of diagnosing and monitoring of the service properties of materials and products, radiation technologies are of particular importance, since they have instrumental capabilities for diagnosing and controlling changes in the soundness of a solid body at different structural levels. The X-ray diffractometry method provided determination of the stability of the stress-strain state of structural steel samples subjected to prolonged (over 5 years) static loads not exceeding the yield strength of the material. The purpose of the study is to determine experimentally the effect of continuous (since 2013) elastic stress and climatic factors on the change in the half-width of the diffraction line profile. It is shown that the straight-line dependence of the half-width of the diffraction line profile is maintained in the range of elastic stresses not exceeding 0.5σt. The results of changes in the microstructural state (micro-strains) identified by the characteristics of the diffraction lines profile are presented and discussed. The results of the experimental study of the effect of small steady elastic stresses reveal that periodic annual fluctuation of temperatures (2013 – 2018) does not cause a significant change in the properties of the diffraction line profile of the 08ps structural steel samples. On the contrary, low climatic temperatures contributed to the elimination of individual instrumental errors attributed to design conditions of the experiment. A sharp change in the true half-width of the diffraction line profile at the stress values σ > 0.5σt, probably indicates the minimum margin of safety of 08ps structural steel when setting the permissible stress value (σ). The revealed changes in microplastic deformation observed in structural steels in the range of elastic stresses corresponding to real operational loads require further study and analysis.
Entropy, Generativity, and Rugged Fitness Landscapes as the Means to Rationalize a Paradigm Shift in Knowledge Management
Authors: Schmitt Ulrich , Gill Grandon
Published: June 2020

Aim/Purpose: While traditional Knowledge Management (KM) continues to neglect the self-interests of knowledge workers as well as generative innovation potentials, it also seems unable to respond to rising complexities, opportunity divides, and entropies. This article follows up on a decentralized KM system-in-progress with a specific focus on how its alternative architecture seeks to address the shortcomings.

Background: It follows up on an informing perspective of client clusters and their target-fitness/ends-states by also taking account of contextual and means-related variances. The differing complexities of the resulting scenarios allow for making distinctions regarding the relationships and respective KM needs between mentees/informees and mentors/informants.

Methodology: The approach taken is conceptual analysis.

Contribution: The analysis advances the understanding of how the envisaged KM system would serve the informing scenarios better compared to the current status quo.

Findings: The novel system architecture serves the more constructive interconnection of individual and collaborative spaces by strengthening personal, institution-al, and social digital curation and feedback across disciplinary and professional boundaries.

Future Research: The example provided could serve as a model and assessment tool for int-grating design and informing science approaches in the study of IT/KM artefacts.

Assessing the benefits of sustainability certification of biofuels: how much are consumers willing to pay?
Authors: Gracia Azucena , Barreiro-Hurlé Jesús , Pérez y Pérez Luis
Published: June 2020

The European Union (EU) considers biofuels as an option to reduce GHG emissions. However, biofuels mandates are controversial because of the concerns regarding unintended environmental, social and economic consequences. EU renewable energy directives introduced some requirements that biofuels should meet to be certified as sustainable. Today almost all the EU’s biofuel consumption intended for transport complies with the EU’s sustainability requirements. This paper investigates social preferences in Spain for sustainable biofuels and, in particular, the willingness to pay (WTP) for sustainable biodiesel. To do that, a choice experiment approach was used with data from a survey conducted in Zaragoza. Results indicate that consumers are willing to pay, a premium of 5% for biodiesel. This premium is slightly lower than the extra-price they are willing to pay for the convenience of finding biodiesel in their usual petrol station (6%). We identified two segments of consumers according to their WTP for the different biodiesel characteristics. One segment was more willing to pay for biodiesel while the other one attached more importance to fuelling convenience and biodiesel availability.

Food safety investments factors in the Italian meat sector: conceptual framework and empirical evidence
Authors: Martino Gaetano , Riganelli Chiara , Marchini Andrea , Polenzani Bianca
Published: June 2020

The paper investigates how food safety investment decisions are affected on the one hand by laws and on the other by firm’s economic and organizational drivers. The paper shares findings from an empirical study that considers investments in HACCP, Certification, and Traceability in the Italian meat sector. The main finding of the study is that the allocation of the decision rights to invest in food safety explains the patterns of investment decisions observed. The conclusion is that regulatory interventions are more effective if there is a private possibility to allocate investment decision rights with respect to the distribution of information between private and public agents and the degree of uncertainty. The study contributes to the analysis of the allocation of the decision rights in the organization of value chain. Under this innovative view, it empirically shows how regulation and freedom of contract act as drivers of food safety investments. The research is particularly interesting in its policy implication: information regarding the role of these collective bodies will become relevant in the near future in the context of expected changes in the EU’s agricultural policy.
The contractual relationships in the Italian durum wheat chain: empirical survey evidence
Authors: Solazzo Roberto , Petriccione Gaetana , Perito Maria Angela
Published: June 2020

The paper investigates the vertical relations along the Italian durum wheat chain and the factors affecting farmers’ behavior in adopting contractual agreements. Sale/crop-growing contracts in the durum wheat sector are analyzed through a direct survey to a sample of 261 durum wheat farmers. The questionnaire collected data on downstream relations and contract terms between farmers and processing and/or marketing firms along the durum wheat chain. A logit model is used to identify factors affecting the likelihood of contract farming between farms and processors. One of the main issues emerging is the low frequency of written contractual forms between durum wheat farmers and downstream operators. In most cases the farmers do not want constraints and reveal a lack of trust in contracts. They prefer to sell their product to a local downstream operator with whom they have a long-standing and solid relationship of trust. Moreover, results of a logistic model show that certain farm features, such as turnover and degree of specialization in durum wheat production, play an important role in driving the decision to adopt written contracts.
Measuring the economic performance of mixed crop-livestock farming systems in Egypt: A non-parametric DEA approach
Authors: Ahmed Osama , Rungsuriyawiboon Supawat , Abdelsalam Sameh
Published: June 2020

This study examines the relative technical efficiency of mixed crop-livestock farming systems and assesses their economic performance between the Upper and Delta regions of Egypt. A non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is empirically applied for measuring technical efficiency using farm-level data for 838 mixed crop-livestock farmers. The findings show that the mixed crop-livestock farms in Egypt are operating at a low level of technical efficiency, indicating most farms are unable to catch up with the current production frontier and existing production technologies. Farms in the Delta region perform slightly better than those farms in Upper Egypt. Results also suggest that technical efficiency improvement is positively affected by farmers’ education, having a farm milk production certificate, and being located in the Delta region, whereas farm size negatively affects the economic performance of mixed crop-livestock farming systems in Egypt.

Epidemiologie und Gesundheit pflegender Angehöriger in Deutschland
Authors: Müller Rolf
Published: June 2020

Rund zweieinhalb Millionen Pflegebedürftige wurden im Dezember 2017 durch eine Hauptpflegeperson versorgt. Auf Grundlage der Routinedaten der BARMER und einer BARMER-Versichertenbefragung 2018 wurden insbesondere die Belastungssituationen und die Gesundheitszustände von Hauptpflegepersonen analysiert. Hauptpflegepersonen sind häufig höher belastet und häufiger krank als Personen, die nicht pflegen. Pflegende Angehörige sind nicht nur kränker, sie werden auch durch die Pflege kränker. Psychische Leiden sind bei Hauptpflegepersonen sehr häufig. Die formelle und die informelle Unterstützung ist oft nicht ausreichend. Hochgerechnet ergibt sich aus der BARMER-Versichertenbefragung 2018 eine Gesamtzahl von mindestens 185.000 Hauptpflegepersonen, die kurz davorstehen, die Pflege einzustellen. Weitere über eine Million Hauptpflegepersonen wollen die Pflege nur fortsetzen, solange sich die Pflegesituation nicht verschlechtert.

Das Konstrukt Diagnose zwischen Psychodynamik und Medizin
Authors: von Lüpke Hans
Published: June 2020

Die Abhängigkeitsbeziehung psychodynamischer Konzepte von medizinischer Methodik führt ohne kritische Reflexion zur Übertragung unbewiesener medizinischer Modelle auf psychodynamische Phänomene. Dies soll in der Theorie und am Beispiel der AD(H)S diskutiert werden. Zunehmende Anreicherung von Daten kann letztlich keine genaueren Informationen geben, da es hierbei zu unkalkulierbaren Interaktionen der beteiligten Elemente kommt. Auch Resultate von Tests bleiben durch nicht erfassbare Begleitfaktoren oft unzulänglich. Manche Fragen sind für Tests von vornherein nicht zugänglich, etwa die Frage, was ein als »hirntot« diagnostizierter Mensch bei der Entnahme seiner Organe wahrnehmen könnte, wenn dabei eindeutige Lebenszeichen erkennbar werden. Als Konsequenz ergibt sich ein Denken mit unendlich vielen Wechselwirkungen im Sinne von Komplexität anstelle des Vertrauens auf »wissenschaftliche Wahrheiten«. Über bewusste Komplexitätsreduktion können daraus neue Perspektiven entwickelt werden.

COVID-19 and Pet Attachment
Authors: Shibli Naveed , MBBS Dr. Aqib Rehman , Kiran Aisha
Published: June 2020

Pet-attachment among the pet owners total 91 those
were admitted in a government hospital for COVID-19 was studied in two wards,
one ward was for patients with mild symptoms and other ward was for moderate
symptoms, the researcher talked to the patients on intercom from where she
could see them also and asked two questions from them, do you have a pet, yes or no and do you miss your pet, very strongly,
strongly, sometimes, occasionally, and never? It was assumed that the
pet attachment may vary due to the nature of symptoms and related ailment
stress among pet owners in the two wards? The findings revealed that pet owners
remembered possession of their pets similarly(r=.012, p< .001) in both wards(r=-.016, p<.001) with strongly correlated remembering. It emerged that
stressful situations do not effect pet attachment and pet attachment continues
in mild and moderate levels of stress. The study provided useful information
about pet-attachment in stressful situations.

التعذيب وعواقبه: متلازمة ما بعد التعذيب
Authors: Rudwan Samer Jamil
Published: June 2020

تغرقنا وسائل الإعلام كل يوم بصورة متنوعة لأشخاص تعرضوا أو يتعرضون للتعذيب torture بشكل من الأشكال وبالطرق والوسائل المستخدمة في التعذيب بشكل يجعل السامع أو المشاهد يتقزز هلعاً واستنكاراً لما يمكن أن يلحقه الإنسان بأخيه الإنسان من أذى. ومع ذلك فإن عدد قليل من الناس فقط هو الذي يستطيع تصور العواقب الروحية والجسمية والاجتماعية النفسية طويلة الأمد. فإذا ما نجا الإنسان من هذا التعذيب فإن الحياة تستمر بصورة مشحونة بالعذاب بشكل لا يقل عما كان الإنسان عليه تحت التعذيب. ذلك أن هدف وسائل التعذيب الحديثة ليس الحصول على الاعتراف فقط وإنما تدمير الشخصية ومحو الهوية. إذ أنه بهذا الشكل يفقد الإنسان أية قدرة على المقاومة.
Preprint - Spontaneous strategy use during a working memory updating task
Authors: Waris Otto , Jylkkä Jussi , Fellman Daniel , Laine Matti
Published: June 2020

Cognitive skill learning postulates strategy generation and implementation when people learn to perform new tasks. Here we followed self-reported strategy use and objective performance in a working memory (WM) updating task to reveal strategy development that should take place when faced with this novel task. In two pre-registered online experiments with healthy adults, we examined short-term strategy acquisition in a ca 20-30-minute adaptive n-back WM task with 15 task blocks by collecting participants’ strategy reports after each block. Experiment 1 showed that (a) about half of the participants reported using a strategy already during the very first task block, (b) changes in selected strategy were most common during the initial task blocks, and (c) more elaborated strategy descriptions predicted better task performance. Experiment 2 mostly replicated these findings, and it additionally showed that compared to open-ended questions, the use of repeated list-based strategy queries influenced subsequent strategy use and task performance, and also indicated higher rates of strategy implementation and strategy change during the task. Strategy use was also a significant predictor of n-back performance, albeit some of the variance it explained was shared by verbal productivity that was measured with a picture description task. The present results concur with the cognitive skill learning perspective and highlight the dynamics of carrying out a demanding cognitive task.
Young but not older adults adjust their criterion for the subjective vividness of memories according to task context

Rates of subjective recollection can change with expectations during a memory task. In the current study, we examined whether young and older adults adjust their subjective vividness criterion according to their expectations in different memorability contexts. Young and older adults performed a memory task in which they memorized pictures varying in their level of memorability (low, medium or high), and each picture was associated with a descriptive label. At retrieval, from the labels, participants were asked to judge the vividness of their memories for the associated pictures. Retrieval blocks always started with labels of pictures of either low or high memorability, followed by labels of pictures of medium memorability. Thus, pictures of medium memorability were recollected in two memorability contexts, presumably associated with different levels of expectations. Results revealed that pictures of medium memorability were judged as more vivid by young adults when they were remembered after pictures of low than high memorability. However, this effect was not observed in older adults. These findings suggest that in young adults, the use of remembered picture details to frame a subjective sense of vividness is regulated by metacognitive mechanisms that take participants’ expectations into account. The results reported in the current study further suggest that older participants did not make use of the memorability heuristic to set the vividness threshold of their subjective experience of remembering and the reasons for why it may be the case are discussed.
What drives us to be (ir)responsible for our health during the COVID-19 pandemic? The role of personality, thinking styles and conspiracy mentality

AbstractThe study aimed to investigate the role of personality, thinking styles, and conspiracy mentality in health-related behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., recommended health behaviors according to COVID-19 guidelines and engagement in pseudoscientific practices related to COVID-19. Basic personality space was defined by the HEXACO model complemented by Disintegration, which represents psychotic-like experiences and behaviors reconceptualized as a personality trait. Mediation analyses conducted on a convenient sample from the general population recruited via social media and by snowballing (N=417) showed that engagement in pseudoscientific behaviors was predicted by high Disintegration. However, this relationship was entirely mediated by high experiential and low rational thinking styles. Adherence to health practices recommended by COVID-19 guidelines was predicted by high Honesty traits, while low Disintegration had both direct and indirect effects through conspiracy mentality.
Wiedza maturzystów o Unii Europejskiej – analiza na podstawie egzaminu z wiedzy o społeczeństwie w latach 2010–2019
Authors: Załęski Piotr
Published: June 2020

In the article, the Author analyses all EU-related tasks in Polish matriculation exam in civic education from the years 2010–2019. The empirical material also includes the rules for assessing tasks’ solutions and exam reports. The level of civic knowledge of young people is not high, but the knowledge about EU-related issues is even worse (it was confirmed that in each type of matriculation exam results of the EU-related tasks were in general lower than the average result of the entire exam in civic education). The analysis also demonstrates that the population of those who pass the „new exam” exam in civic education is qualitatively weaker than the population of those who pass the „old exam”, however, in the EU-related tasks these differences are smaller than the difference in the results of both exam’s formulas (it was confirmed that generally the level of solutions of EU-related tasks in the „new exam” is lower than in the „old exam”, but to a lesser extent than the difference between the average results of these both types of exams).

Alternatywne formy głosowania w polskim prawie wyborczym
Authors: Kowalska Monika
Published: June 2020

The crisis of citizens’ participation in the elections is the feature of many European states, and also Poland. The main thesis of the article is that the voting absence is the problem, which could be solved using different solutions, and one of them is the institutional convenience to facilitate the voting process. The analysis of the use of alternative voting procedures in Polish electoral practice demonstrates, however, that they are not very popular. This fact raises questions about the reasons for this state of affairs and the forms of corrective actions in this regard. To clarify the research problems, the Author used the institutional-legal method and analysed the normative acts, which regulate alternative voting procedures. The comparative method allowed to indicate the existing gaps in the adopted institutional solutions and the practice of their application, as well as to find possible ways to achieve the optimal scheme. The application of the system approach gave the opportunity to make a comprehensive overview of the examined institutions and related phenomena, and to draw conclusions regarding necessary actions to increase their effectiveness.
„Lexit” – pozalaburzystowska, antyunijna lewica brytyjska w referendum 2016 roku
Authors: Ilkowski Filip
Published: June 2020

The article presents the analysis of activities and ideological motivations of politicians and political formations connected to those parts of non-Labour British left, that appealed during the 2016 referendum to vote for leaving the European Union by the United Kingdom. It points to key ideological pillars of this heterogenic political milieu with its common and divergent elements. The thesis is put forward in the text that, as in the case of Labour politicians, also among the left-wing outside the Labour Party, we can point to two ideological and political poles that decide to opt for leaving the EU by the UK: socialist universalism and national-identity particularism. Their key determinant was the views on immigration control, also affecting their attitude to cooperation with the anti-EU right-wing political milieu.

Authors: Szewior Krzysztof
Published: June 2020

The author focuses on the manner and effects of German higher education reforms that have changed the model of university management. The point of reference is the quality of education and its role, how universities ensure it, and how it is verified through evaluation and accreditation. These elements divide the article into two parts: a part about quality and a part about evaluation and accreditation. The analysis includes the impact of global processes and Europeanization. The research approach is characteristic for public policies, sciences of management and quality. The theories used in this article: the theory of systems and neo-institutionalism, as well as perspectives: the university as an active strategic partner, entrepreneurial university, the third role of universities. The publication is based on desk research and on the analysis of processes.
The Geography of Social Distancing in Canada: Evidence from Facebook
Authors: Chan Jeff
Published: June 2020

This article analyzes which characteristics are correlated with mobility reductions during the COVID-19 pandemic, using census-division-level mobility data for Canada from Facebook. There is significant variation in the extent to which social distancing was applied in April, relative to a preperiod of February. I find that the population and population density of a census division are strongly correlated with larger mobility reductions. Conversely, I find that areas with a larger share of dwellings that are apartments exhibit smaller mobility reductions, suggesting that those in tighter living conditions may find it less possible to stay at home during the pandemic. Finally, I examine the persistence of mobility reductions into May and show that areas with a larger apartment dwelling share are more likely to maintain their social distancing over time.
