Fibroblasts play a pivotal role in wound healing. However, the molecular mechanisms determining the reparative response of fibroblasts remain unknown. Here, we identify Notch1 signaling as a molecular determinant controlling the plasticity and function of fibroblasts in modulating wound healing and angiogenesis. The Notch pathway is activated in fibroblasts of diabetic wounds but not in normal skin and non-diabetic wounds. Consistently, wound healing in the FSP-1+/−;ROSALSL-N1IC+/+ mouse, in which Notch1 is activated in fibroblasts, is delayed. Increased Notch1 activity in fibroblasts suppressed their growth, migration, and differentiation into myofibroblasts. Accordingly, significantly fewer myofibroblasts and less collagen were present in granulation tissues of the FSP-1+/−;ROSALSL-N1IC+/+ mice, demonstrating that high Notch1 activity inhibits fibroblast differentiation. High Notch1 activity in fibroblasts diminished their role in modulating the angiogenic response. We also identified that IL-6 is a functional Notch1 target and involved in regulating angiogenesis. These findings suggest that Notch1 signaling determines the plasticity and function of fibroblasts in wound healing and angiogenesis, unveiling intracellular Notch1 signaling in fibroblasts as potential target for therapeutic intervention in diabetic wound healing.
Aberrant autophagosome formation occurs upon small molecule inhibition of ULK1 kinase activity
Authors: Zachari Maria , Longo Marianna , Ganley Ian G
Published: October 2020

Autophagy is a crucial homeostatic mechanism that mediates the degradation of damaged or excess intracellular components. Such components are engulfed and sequestered into double membrane autophagosomes, which deliver their contents to lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy plays a role in numerous human disorders and its pharmacological targeting by small molecules offers therapeutic potential. The serine/threonine kinase ULK1 (and its homologue ULK2) is the most upstream component of the autophagic machinery and is required for autophagy initiation. Here, we use the most selective and potent published ULK1 inhibitors to gain insights into ULK1 kinase function during autophagy. Treatment with all inhibitors blocked autophagy but also resulted in the limited formation of initial autophagosome-like structures, which appeared abnormal in size and did not traffic to lysosomes. We found that upon ULK1 inhibition, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate–binding proteins are still recruited to forming autophagosomes, implying that ULK1 activity is not essential for VPS34 activation. We conclude that the kinase activity of ULK1 is important in regulating autophagosome maturation, by the phosphorylation of currently unidentified key substrates.
Automatic Design of Scheduling Policies for Dynamic Multi-objective Job Shop Scheduling via Cooperative Coevolution Genetic Programming
Authors: Nguyen S , Zhang Mengjie , Johnston M , Tan K Chen
Published: October 2020

A scheduling policy strongly influences the performance of a manufacturing system. However, the design of an effective scheduling policy is complicated and time consuming due to the complexity of each scheduling decision, as well as the interactions among these decisions. This paper develops four new multi-objective genetic programming-based hyperheuristic (MO-GPHH) methods for automatic design of scheduling policies, including dispatching rules and due-date assignment rules in job shop environments. In addition to using three existing search strategies, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II, strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm 2, and harmonic distance-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, to develop new MO-GPHH methods, a new approach called diversified multi-objective cooperative evolution (DMOCC) is also proposed. The novelty of these MO-GPHH methods is that they are able to handle multiple scheduling decisions simultaneously. The experimental results show that the evolved Pareto fronts represent effective scheduling policies that can dominate scheduling policies from combinations of existing dispatching rules with dynamic/regression-based due-date assignment rules. The evolved scheduling policies also show dominating performance on unseen simulation scenarios with different shop settings. In addition, the uniformity of the scheduling policies obtained from the proposed method of DMOCC is better than those evolved by other evolutionary approaches. © 1997-2012 IEEE.

Improving Foreign Language teaching for International Students
Authors:   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Kazan, Russia, Latypova Endzhe
Published: October 2020

The processes of internationalization and globalization are ubiquitous. The growing number of international students in universities prompts the necessity of research into the best ways of teaching and learning the language of a host country. Language is a connecting link of prime importance in building up an efficient and suitable educational environment for an international student in a foreign country. This qualitative study sought to identify the most effective practices of teaching the host language as second language in leading universities of two countries: Germany and Russia. We interviewed ten teachers in each university regarding the specifics of organizing courses to teach the host country language as a second language. Our analysis revealed the difficulties teachers usually face in their work with international students, as well as effective methods and models of teaching international students. We interpret these findings using a framework for English Medium Instruction proposed by Dafouz and Smit (2012).
Intertextuality and intermediality of modern drama-parable (based on play “The academy of laugh” by Koki Mitany)
Authors: Mozharivska Iryna
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the problem of finding the manifestations of intertextual reminisces in theEnglish drama of the Renaissance in the context of contemporary drama-parable consideration. In the process of analysing the play, the author draws attention to the context of intermedial connections of literature with theatrical art, considers the implementation of the principle of “game in play”, traces the manifistations of intercultural interaction between Eastern and Western culture. The events in the drama take place against a backdrop of complex historical events — The Japan-China War. The work contains references to the intertextual elements of the dramatic works of the English playwright William Shakespeare (the tragedies “Romeo and Juliet”, “Hamlet” and “Magbeth”. The comic interpretation of the play is a juxtaposition of cultures and literary genres. The author applies the concept «the theatre in the theatre», structures the work minimally through dialogue between the author and the censor. Intermediality acts as a system of interaction of one kind of art in the works of another and reveals mechanisms of mutual influence of kinds of art in the artistic culture of this or that historical period.
-“There is no place like home”: A Derridean analysis of Rushdie’s conceptualisation of “home” in “At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers”
Authors: ERDEM AYYILDIZ Nilay
Published: October 2020

Salman Rushdie (1947) is one of the prominent postcolonial authors writing in a postmodern style. East, West (1992), which is one of his short story collections, problematizes logocentric binaries. “At the Auction of Ruby Slippers” is one of the stories in the collection. The story is a magical realist work based on the movie The Wizard of Oz (1939), which was adapted from L. F. Baum’s children’s fantasy novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) depicting little girl Dorothy’s, first, aspiration to migrate from her homeland Kansas, then her struggle to return there, leaving the idyllic atmosphere, new friendships and good experiences in the host land Oz. The story, set in the auction of the slippers, which take Dorothy back to Kansas, tells about the narrator and the other characters’ quest for “home”. The study argues that the story parodies the postcolonial concept of “home” which refers to the native country for immigrants. Moreover, it suggests that the story reconceptualizes the concept of “home”, indicating that it has lost its meaning as a physical or cultural space in a dystopian capitalist society in contrast to the fantasy world of Oz, which enables Dorothy to return her house. Therefore, the postmodern story is examined within the framework of Jacques Derrida’s terms such as “archive”, “différance” and “supplementary” in addition to Rushdie’s essays on the movie. The analysis of the story reveals the play of significations in the conceptuality of “home”. It indicates how the story decentres the signified “home” in Baum’s novel within the postponement of an ultimate signifier and signified. Thus, this study concludes that inhabitants of the multicultural materialistic world are indeed exiles longing and desperately searching for “home”, which is an ever-changing relative metaphor for everything they are deprived of and cannot just attain through materiality in their lives.

Sclerotium rolfsii is one of the soil-borne pathogens that cause damping-off and stem rot on soybean plants. One effort to control damping-off, which is environmentally friendly, is by using biological agents. Antagonistic microorganism that has been studied intensively and has a great potential to control soil-borne diseases is Trichoderma harzianum. The objectives of this research were to comprehend the ability of T. harzianum in a formulation with carbon fiber 80 mesh and silica nanoparticles (NPs.) and to determine the concentration of silica NPs. in the formulation that suppresses the in vitro growth of S. rolfsii and control the damping-off on soybean plants. The experiment was conducted in two phases. The first phase was in vitro experiment, arranged in a completely randomized design with 11 treatments and 3 replications. The second phase was in vivo test by using randomized complete block design, with 11 treatments and 3 replications. The in-vitro test showed that each treatment with T. harzianum in the formulation of silica NPs. and carbon fiber 80 mesh in various concentrations was able to suppress the S. rolfsii growth by 58.76- 80.92%. The treatment of single T. harzianum caused the highest suppression on S. rolfsii up to 80.92%. While the results of the in vivo test showed that the highest percentage of damping-off suppression was on the treatment of T. harzianum only, with 60% suppression.

The purpose of this study was to understand perceptions and attitudes of tourism communities towards halal tourism terminology and the development of tourism based on local wisdom. This research adopted qualitative research and was conducted in Lombok. Data was collected in three main tourist destinations including Kuta, Senggigi and Gili Trawangan, therough in-depth interviews and observations, and was analysed using content analysis. The results indicate that tourism businessmen and foreign tourists have a good perception towards the concept of halal tourism and support the development of tourism based on local wisdom. Yet, both informant groups have different opinion towards the use of “halal tourism” as a terminology to promote halal tourism products. Therefore, a systematic socialization on halal tourism is needed to develop consensus among all tourism stakeholders.Keywords: Halal Tourism, Perception, Local Wisdom, Consensus, tourism communities

Since the emergence of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in December 2019, several publications have emerged describing the manifestations of the disease in different age groups. Reports from the newborn group have however been sparse. This review summarizes the mode of transmission, clinical presentations as well as treatment and outcomes of COVID-19 in neonates.

Methods

A systematic search for literature was conducted

in April and in August 2020. The databases searched include PUBMED, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The search terms used included COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, Corona virus, Newborn, Neonate, exposure, vertical transmission, breastfeeding, droplet infection. We included primary studies that were carried out globally either in hospitals or in the communities such as case reports, case series, cross-sectional studies and other qualitative or quantitative studies and published in English language, between January and August 2020.

Results

Fifty six studies were included in this review. Studies were conducted in China, Iran, South Korea, Peru, USA, Spain, Belgium, France, and Australia. A total of 416 neonates were examined between few hours old and 28 days of age. A total of 38 neonates had PCR-confirmed COVID-19 disease following testing. Fourteen (36.8%) out of the 38 neonates that tested positive had no symptoms. Clinical features reported were mild and include systemic features such as fever (4.1%), respiratory features such as tachypnoea (5.1%), cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and dermatological features. Radiological features reported include pneumonia (1%), ground glass opacity (2.9%), consolidation (0.7%), increased lung markings (0.3%). Person to person transmission was more common. Treatment was generally supportive.

Conclusions

There is little evidence of vertical transmission in neonates. Neonatal survival following COVID-19 infection is very high perhaps due to mild nature of the disease in this age group. More research using higher quality study designs and methodologies is recommended.
Why the misinformation, shame and guilt associated with coronavirus?

Mass media information, scientific articles and reports on measures to prevent infection are confusing at the least and figures from China and Iran lack cohesion. Reports suggest that Chinese scientists knew about coronavirus in early December 2019, but were told to conceal evidence by government. It is alleged that as cover-up, government officials intentionally withheld information that hospital workers had been infected by patients, a sign of how highly contagious the virus is. Researchers were also instructed to keep quiet and even ordered to destroy samples. Similar reports are also suggesting that Iran is under-reporting cases. In Africa, employees from a hospital in Zambia have also reported having been ordered not to speak publicly. They reported witnessing people who recently returned from China with coughs not being put in quarantine. Similar denials and cover-up strategies were seen in the 90s during the AIDS crisis. The guilt and shame that was associated with HIV were thought to have been associated with the intimate nature of transmission (mostly sexual) even though others got it through other routes including mother to child transmission etc. SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been proven to be intimately transmitted though having been isolated from semen. Why then the misinformation, shame, and guilt? How can countries move from the cover-up, blame games to responsibility as the virus defies containment? Some questions remain; How can cover-ups be prevented? How can governments be held accountable for cover-ups, misinformation, etc?

Hurricanes and other natural disasters leave behind multifaceted and complex environmental challenges that may contribute to adverse health outcomes, such as increased potential for exposure to vector-borne disease. Through an incident management system tailored for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) fulfills a leadership role in facilitating the agency's natural disaster emergency response activities through coordination with other CDC programs, liaising with other government agencies and impacted jurisdictions, and responding to requests for technical assistance. On the ground, NCEH/ATSDR deploys environmental health (EH) practitioners who provide consultation and inform mosquito control efforts from a systematic perspective. In the wake of recent hurricanes, NCEH staff mobilized to manage critical elements of the responses and to provide assets for addressing environmental hazards and conditions that contributed to the presence of mosquitoes. In this article, we describe NCEH/ATSDR's emergency response roles and responsibilities, interactions within the national emergency response framework, and provision of EH technical assistance and resources, particularly in the context of postdisaster mosquito control.

Hurricane Harvey made a landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast on August 25, 2017, stalling over Harris County as a tropical storm for 4 days (August 26–29), dumping approximately 127 cm of rain. This tremendous amount of rainfall overwhelmed the county's natural and man-made drainage systems, resulting in unprecedented widespread flooding. Immediately following, Harris County Public Health Mosquito and Vector Control Division conducted a countywide emergency vector control response by integrating surveillance, control, and education strategies. This included landing rate counts, mosquito and avian surveillance, arbovirus testing, ground-based ultra-low volume (ULV) and aerial pesticide spraying, and community outreach. The immediate response lasted for 4 wk through September, resulting in 774 landing rates, 49,342 ha treated by ground-based ULV, 242,811 ha treated by aerial ULV, 83,241 mosquitoes collected, 1,807 mosquito pools tested, and 20 education/outreach sessions. Recovery activities of 3 additional education/outreach events continued through October while surveillance and control activities returned to routine status.

Military forces and the recreational industry rely on the repellent properties of permethrin-treated fabrics and N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (deet)–based lotions to provide protection from disease vectors and hematophagous organisms. Concerns regarding efficacy have been raised as pyrethroid resistance becomes more common and recent publications present contradictory conclusions. In this preliminary study, consenting volunteers were exposed to pyrethroid-susceptible and pyrethroid-resistant Aedes aegypti strains while wearing sleeves of untreated or permethrin-treated army uniform fabric as well as with untreated or deet-treated exposed forearms. Deet was nearly 100% effective against both susceptible and resistant strains. However, permethrin treatment provided no significant protection against the resistant Puerto Rico strain relative to untreated control sleeves. These results confirm that pyrethroid-resistant vectors can negate the efficacy of permethrin-treated uniforms. Additional testing with resistant field strains is needed to better understand the risk to service members.

Herein we report the first recorded arrival of Aedes aegypti on Trindade Island, approximately 1,140 km from the Brazilian coast, posing potential health risks to the human inhabitants thereof. The collection of mosquitoes was done from August to October 2019 via an active search for adults, eggs, and larvae by surveying objects with accumulated water and implantation of 23 ovitraps in different regions of the island. As a result, we collected 33 adults of Ae. aegypti via active search inside buildings. A total of 433 eggs of Ae. aegypti were also obtained from the ovitraps, all of which subsequently reached the adult stage. No other species of Culicidae was found.

To improve detection and assessment of Aedes aegypti abundance, we investigated whether microhabitat factors of the location of autocidal gravid ovitraps (AGO traps) influenced captures of gravid females in 2 locations in southern Puerto Rico. One location had been under vector control for several years using mass AGO trapping (intervention site), where Ae. aegypti abundance was several times lower than in the other study site without mosquito control (nonintervention site). We observed 10 environmental factors describing trap microhabitat location, and monitored water volume and minimum, maximum, and average temperature in AGO traps. Air temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall were recorded at each site. We conducted a hot-spot analysis of AGO traps to understand whether trap captures were influenced by the local abundance of mosquitoes rather than or in addition to trap microhabitat factors. AGO traps were classified using a 2-step cluster analysis based on attributes of trap microhabitats, water temperature, and water volume. Captures of female Ae. aegypti in each cluster per site were compared between resulting clusters to determine whether trap microhabitat factors defining the clusters were associated with trap captures. Trap captures in both study sites were mostly correlated with captures in nearby traps regardless of trap microhabitat factors, possibly reflecting the influence of the spatial aggregation of mosquitoes coming from nearby aquatic habitats or the concentration of dispersing adults. These results indicated that AGO traps can be located at places that can be easily reached during periodic inspections, such as in front of houses, without much regard to local microhabitat conditions.
