En el presente estudio se determinó el contenido de compuestos fenólicos y la actividad antimicrobiana yantioxidante en cuatro especies de hongos comestibles (Amanita rubescens, Astraeus hygrometricus, Laccaria laccata y Lycoperdon perlatum). Las actividades antimicrobianas se probaron en Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae y Candida albicans. Los compuestos fenólicos y la actividad antioxidante se midieron mediante métodos espectrofotométricos. Todos los hongos presentan una alta actividad en comparación con S. agalactiae. El contenido de compuestos fenólicos se ubicó entre 1.54 - 20.93 mg GAE/g DW y la actividad antioxidante entre 0.0034 - 0.0854 mmol TE / g DW, siendo A. rubescens la especie con el valor más alto encontrado. Los resultados obtenidos de la actividad antimicrobiana utilizando el método de difusión en disco indicaron que los extractos exhibieron una actividad moderada. Sin embargo, la Concentración Mínima Inhibitoria (CMI) con ambos disolventes muestra que todas las especies de macromicetos registraron inhibición de los microorganismos en diferentes concentraciones. En general, los extractos etanólicos ejercieron una actividad antimicrobiana mayor a los obtenidos con metanol. La bacteria S. agalactiae fue el microorganismo más susceptible y S. aureus la más resistente. La mejor actividad antimicrobiana se encontró en los extractos etanólicos de A. hygrometricus y L. perlatum, principalmente en S. agalactiae, con un valor de CMI de 3.75 mg/mL. En conclusión, se sugiere que estas especies de macromicetos se pueden utilizar como fuente natural de componentes antimicrobianos y antioxidantes.

Productos farmacéuticos y de cuidado personal presentes en aguas superficiales, de consumo humano y residuales en el departamento de Córdoba, Colombia
Authors: Alean Flórez Joel , Márquez Méndez Daniela , Burgos Núñez Saudith María , Enamorado-Montes Germán , Marrugo Negrete José
Published: June 2021

Contextualización: gracias al avance de técnicas analíticas sensibles desarrolladas en las últimas décadas, se ha podido identificar y cuantificar la presencia de diversos contaminantes en el medio acuático, dentro de este grupo se encuentran los contaminantes emergentes (CE) conformados por productos de cuidado e higiene personal, antibióticos, hormonas, plastificantes, fármacos y otros que son vertidos a las fuentes de agua alterando el equilibrio de estos ecosistemas. 

 

Vacío de investigación:  diversas investigaciones muestran que los contaminantes emergentes pueden comprometer la vida acuática y la salud humana. A la fecha en la ciudad de montería y en el departamento de Córdoba no se encuentran reportados ningún estudio que permita evidenciar la presencia de contaminantes emergentes en agua superficial, de consumo humano y residual.

 

Propósito del estudio: el presente estudio, tuvo como objetivo evaluar la presencia de cinco contaminantes emergentes comunes: naproxeno, ibuprofeno, gemfibrozilo, cafeína y triclosán en muestras de agua de consumo humano, residual y superficial colectadas al norte del país, representando así uno de los primeros estudios en reportar la presencia de estos compuestos en fuentes hídricas en esta región. 

 

Metodología: se empleó extracción en fase sólida (SPE) para el análisis de las muestras de agua, la detección y cuantificación se realizó por cromatografía líquida de alta eficacia con detector de arreglo de diodo y fluorescencia molecular (HPLC-DAD-FLD). 

 

Resultados y conclusiones: el ibuprofeno fue el compuesto que se encontró con mayor frecuencia en las muestras de agua, caso contrario al triclosán, que fue el menos detectado (2.25 µg/L); se halló cafeína en un máximo de 43.38 µg/L mientras que las concentraciones de naproxeno e ibuprofeno estuvieron entre 0.047 y 10.21 µg/L, resaltando la presencia de ibuprofeno y gemfibrozilo en agua de consumo humano. Estos resultados manifiestan la presión antropogénica ejercida sobre los compartimientos acuáticos, convirtiéndose en un problema ambiental que compromete la dinámica y servicios ecosistémicos. Se encontró que las plantas de abastecimiento de agua no tienen en cuenta la presencia de estos compuestos en sus sistemas de potabilización, lo cual podría constituirse un problema de salud pública en un futuro.

Fresh perspectives on an established technique: Pulsed Amplitude Modulation (PAM) chlorophyll a fluorescence
Authors: Zuo Guanqiang , Aiken Robert , Feng Naijie , Zheng Dianfeng , Zhao Haidong , Avenson Thomas , Lin Xiaomao
Published: June 2021

Pulsed amplitude modulation (PAM) chlorophyll a fluorescence provides
information about photosynthetic energy transduction. When reliably
measured, chlorophyll a fluorescence provides detailed information about
critical in vivo photosynthetic processes. Such information has recently
provided novel and critical insights into how yield potential of crops
could be improved. While PAM chlorophyll a fluorometers measure
fluorescence intensity per se, herein we articulate the criteria by
which instrumentally detected intensities can be assumed to assess
fluorescence yield, a phenomenon quite different than fluorescence
intensity and one that provides critical insight about how solar energy
is variably partitioned into the biosphere. An integrated mathematical,
phenomenological, and practical discussion of many useful chlorophyll a
fluorescence parameters is presented. We draw attention to, and provide
examples of, potential uncertainties that can result from incorrect
methodological practices and potentially problematic instrumental design
features. Fundamentals of fluorescence measurements are discussed,
including the major assumptions underlying the signals and the
methodological caveats about taking measurements during both dark- and
light-adapted conditions. Key fluorescence parameters are discussed in
the context of recent applications under environmental stress. Nuanced
information that can be gleaned from intracomparisons of
fluorescence-derived parameters and intercomparisons of
fluorescence-derived parameters with those based on other techniques is
elucidated.
The Attenuation of Diabetic Nephropathy by Annexin A1 via Regulation of Lipid Metabolism Through the AMPK/PPARα/CPT1b Pathway

Published: June 2021

Inflammation and abnormal metabolism play important roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Annexin A1 (ANXA1) contributes to inflammation resolution and improves metabolism. In this study, we assess the effects of ANXA1 in diabetic mice and proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) treated with high glucose plus palmitate acid (HGPA) and explore the association of ANXA1 with lipid accumulation in patients with DN. It is found that ANXA1 deletion aggravates renal injuries, including albuminuria, mesangial matrix expansion, and tubulointerstitial lesions in high-fat diet/streptozotocin–induced diabetic mice. ANXA1 deficiency promotes intrarenal lipid accumulation and drives mitochondrial alterations in kidneys. In addition, Ac2-26, an ANXA1 mimetic peptide, has a therapeutic effect against lipid toxicity in diabetic mice. In HGPA-treated human PTECs, ANXA1 silencing causes FPR2/ALX-driven deleterious effects, which suppress phosphorylated Thr172 AMPK, resulting in decreased peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1b expression and increased HGPA-induced lipid accumulation, apoptosis, and elevated expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic genes. Last but not least, the extent of lipid accumulation correlates with renal function, and the level of tubulointerstitial ANXA1 expression correlates with ectopic lipid deposition in kidneys of patients with DN. These data demonstrate that ANXA1 regulates lipid metabolism of PTECs to ameliorate disease progression; hence, it holds great potential as a therapeutic target for DN.

Authors: Dornelas Rodrigo , Queiroz Mariana , Brito Aline Ferreira de , Pellicani Ariane
Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Descrever as características acústicas na voz de homens e mulheres trans. Método: Participaram desta pesquisa seis pessoas trans, dois homens e quatro mulheres trans, com idade superior a 18 anos. Foram utilizados o software SoundForge 10.0®, o Advanced Multi- Dimensional Voice Programm (MDVP-Adv) para extração das medidas da análise acústica computadorizada e o programa Analysis Synthesis Laboratory (Computerized Speech Lab – Kay Pentax®) para análise do filtro vocal. Resultados: Os valores dos formantes se mostraram menores quando comparados à literatura nacional e internacional. As medidas de f0 apresentaram valores abaixo do esperado ao gênero feminino e aumentados ao gênero masculino. Quanto às medidas de frequência fundamental máxima (fhi) e mínima (flo), os resultados apresentaram uma grande variabilidade, sugerindo instabilidade fonatória. Os resultados de jitter e shimmer e os parâmetros relacionados ao ruído, como o Índice de turbulência vocal (VTI) e Índice de fonação suave (SPI) mostraram-se incongruentes quando relacionados aos parâmetros de normalidade. A medida de ruído/harmônico NHR se mostrou maior que os valores de normalidade, sugerindo presença de ruído ou rouquidão durante a emissão. As medidas de tremor vocal (Fatr e Ftri) apresentaram distribuição anormal quando comparadas à literatura. Não foi possível observar relação nas análises das características acústicas entre os valores de referência e as pessoas participantes desta pesquisa. Conclusão: As medidas acústicas de vozes de homens e mulheres trans apresentam análises diferentes quando comparados à literatura, evidenciando fragilidade dos programas de análise vocal acústica que não contemplam a heterogeneidade cultural e as variadas identidades de gênero.

Authors: Gusnetti Gusnetti , Agustina Agustina , Ermanto Ermanto , Zaim M.
Published: June 2021

This research was motivated by observations and interviews of learning tools for reading skills lectures in the Indonesian Language and Literature study program, Bung Hatta University. It is known that reading courses are generally given in the form of minimal reading theory and practice. As a result, students have difficulty understanding the reading text because students do not know the genre of the text being read. To solve this problem, one of the alternatives proposed is to apply the AP4M Model in Reading Comprehension of Narrative Text Genres through E-Learning. The research objective was to describe students' reading comprehension skills using the AP4M model. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods. The research subjects were students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Study Program, Bung Hatta University, Padang, class 2019/2020. The results showed that the students' ability to determine themes and messages was 8.90; determine the type of narrative text and its description 8.90; determine the structure of the narrative text genre 9.80; determine the character of the character 7.8. The results of the research on the application of the AP4M Model in reading comprehension of the narrative text genre of students were 8.6 with the very good category.

Design of Cascaded CNN for Medical Image Super Resolution
Authors: Singh Kajol , Saxena Manish
Published: June 2021

The images captured through a camera usually belong to over or under exposed conditions. The reason may be inappropriate lighting conditions or camera resolution. Hence, it is of utmost importance to have a few enhancement techniques that could make these artefacts look better. Hence, the primary objective pertaining to the adjustment and enhancement techniques is to enhance the characteristics of an image. The initial numeric values related to an image get distorted when an image is enhanced. Therefore, enhancement techniques should be designed in such a way that the image quality isn’t compromised. This research work is focused on proposed a network design for deep convolution neural networks for application of super resolution techniques. To improve the complexity of existing techniques this work is intended towards network designs, different filter size and CNN architecture. The CNN model is most effective model for detection and segmentation in image. This model will improve the efficiency of medical image reconstruction from LR to HR. The proposed model showed its efficiency not only PET medical images but also on retinal database and achieved advance results as compared to existing works.
Review on Economic Load Dispatch and Associated Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
Authors: Jain Swati , Chaturvedi Dr Krishna Teeth
Published: June 2021

In a practical power system, power plants are not equidistant from the distribution center and their fuel cost is different. Under normal operating conditions, the production capacity is even greater than the required total load and losses. Therefore, there are many options for planning the build. In an interconnected network, the objective is to determine the planning of the active and reactive power of each system in order to minimize operating costs. This means that the active and reactive power of the generator can vary within certain limits in order to cover a certain load requirement with minimal fuel costs. This is called the optimal power flow problem. This paper provides an overview of AI-based algorithms, genetic algorithms and their applications with cost-effective charge transport.
Lightning, the Science. Part 1: Modern View
Authors:   Florida University, Gainesville, Florida, USA, Rakov Vladimir A.
Published: June 2021

Lightning can be defined as a transient, high-current (typically tens of kA) electric discharge in air whose length is measured in km. As for any discharge in air, lightning channel is composed of ionized gas, that is, of plasma, whose peak temperature is typically 30,000 K, about five times higher than the temperature of the surface of the Sun. Lightning was present on Earth long before human life evolved and it may even have played a crucial role in the evolution of life on our planet. The global lightning flash rate is some tens to a hundred km per second. Each year, some 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning discharges occur in the United States, and this number is expected to increase by about 50% due to global warming over the 21st century. Lightning initiates many forest fires, and over 30% of all electric power line failures are lightning related. Each commercial aircraft is struck by lightning on average once a year. A lightning strike to an unprotected object or system can be catastrophic. In the first part of the article, an overview of thunderclouds and their charge structure is given, basic lightning terminology is introduced, and different types of lightning (including the so-called rocket-triggered lightning) are described. For the most common negative cloud-to-ground lightning, main lightning processes are identified and the existing hypotheses of lightning initiation in thunderclouds are reviewed.
Determination of the Electromagnetic Processes Frequency Period in Emergency Operation Modes of Low-Power Multiphase AC Converter-Fed Motors
Authors:   The Branch of National Research University, VIGRIYANOV Pavel G.
Published: June 2021

Increasing requirements for the reliability indicators of technical systems lead to the need to apply new approaches to the design of electric machines and electric drives as an electrical complex, one of which is a systematic approach. To provide a set of increased reliability indicators, it is proposed to use multiphase AC converter-fed motors that differ in structural and algorithmic redundancy It is shown in order to implement variants of AC converter-fed motor circuit, in addition to reliability indicators, a quantitative assessment of its energy capabilities in normal and emergency operating modes is necessary. The most important stage of the practical implementation of the numerical process in the quantitative assessment of energy capabilities is to determine the period of repeatability of electromagnetic processes. The main issues of determining the period of repeatability of quasi-steady-state electromagnetic processes of an electromechanical energy converter of low-power multiphase AC converter-fed motors in the design of systems of increased reliability are considered. This made it possible to implement the numerical solution of systems of differential equations describing the physical processes in AC converter-fed motors with a variable structure of the electromechanical converter in normal and emergency operating modes.

Published: June 2021

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of hand-to-environmental contact (HEC) and to identify the factors influencing HEC behavior in Korean adults’ indoor daily life.MethodsThirty participants were enrolled from January 14 to February 12, 2018 after providing informed consent for being videotaped. Data were collected by recording their indoor daily lives for 2 hours, resulting in 4,732 HEC cases. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the HEC readings, 3 training sessions were conducted for the videotape readers. Rereading and verifying randomly selected data ensured the validity of intra- and inter-reader readings.ResultsThe most frequent contact items were phones, papers, computer accessories, and furniture surfaces. The contact density (frequency-duration/min) was highest for category II (items occasionally shared by others, 56.8), followed in descending order by category I (items for individual use, 35.9), and category III (public use items, 3.4). Significant differences in contact density were found according to participants’ demographic characteristics.ConclusionAs mobile phones were the most frequent contact item, regular and strict mobile phone cleansing or disinfection strategies are needed, in addition to preventative measures taken for category II and III items. Avoiding sharing personal items with others, refraining from unnecessary HEC, and maintaining strict hand hygiene are recommended.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral smoking cessation interventions among adolescents.MethodsMEDLINE, CENTRAL, Embase, CINAHL, KoreaMed, and KMbase were searched from inception to June 2020. Systematic reviews (SRs) or meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were initially searched to perform a rapid SR. After selecting the final SR, RCTs after the publication year of the selected SR were searched. The primary outcome was smoking status after at least 6 months of follow-up, and the secondary outcome was smoking status at 4 weeks. Two reviewers independently assessed the selected studies’ quality using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The meta-analysis utilized a Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effect model reporting the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The subgroup analysis utilized Cochrane’s Q.ResultsThirty-two RCTs (11,637 participants) from a single SR were meta-analyzed. After 6 months of follow-up, the intervention group had significantly higher abstinence rates (RR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.20−1.41; I2=26.46%). At 4 weeks of follow-up, the intervention group also had significantly higher abstinence rates (RR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.49–2.47; I2=0.00%). The subgroup analysis indicated a significant difference in the abstinence rate according to the study setting and the period between intervention completion and follow-up.ConclusionThis review showed that adolescent behavioral smoking cessation intervention programs significantly increased abstinence rates compared to the usual care.
PROSODY OF NEGATIVE MODALITY IN TRANSLATION
Authors: Korolova Tetiana , Zhmayeva Natalya
Published: June 2021

The work is devoted to the research of the ways that reflect the prosody characteristics of the
English utterances containing negative semantics in the Ukrainian oral translation. The difficulty
of achieving this goal when treating prosody is in its multifunctionallity and multicomponential
nature. Prosody is the main means of signifying the communicative types of sentences and the
pragmaticsof the communicative process. Correlation of prosody with pragmatic andsemantic
components of communication is carried out through the prism of the emotional sphere of
human speech behavior.
The analysis of the experimental material provided an opportunity to find both distinctive
and typologically common for Ukrainian and English characteristics of negative modality at
the level of negative connotative meanings prosody, such as of objections, condemnation,
reproach, and specific correlates of negative modality in either of the two languages under
analysis. Typologically similar characteristics include the following: the register of melody, the
range of dynamic parameter andtimbre components of prosody, the state of the vocal cords
and larynx and their combinations. The mechanism of realization of prosody of negative
connotations is typologically similar in two languages: the most frequent combinations of
interaction of prosody parameters in English and Ukrainian languages are the increase in
intensity and the synchronous growth of melody – 24,7% and 25,3%, respectively, in the
amount of the experimental phrases. The functional significance of the temporal component at
the segmental level in the English language and the absence of such a characteristic in the
Ukrainian language expands the possibility of applying the time parameter at the
suprasegmental level in the Ukrainian language. Knowledge of the laws of prosodic variability
in two languages helps to interpret correctly and produce the semantics of a foreign language
in translation.
Egyetemi hallgatók egészségműveltségének vizsgálata
Authors: Végh Balázs , Bíró Éva
Published: June 2021

Bevezetés: Az egészségműveltség fogalma és az azzal kapcsolatos kutatások az elmúlt időszakban kerültek a tudományos érdeklődés középpontjába; ennek hátterében az egészségműveltség és az egészségi állapot közötti kapcsolat felismerése áll. Jelentősége ellenére e területen még kevés vizsgálat történt hazánkban, tudomásunk szerint egyetemi hallgatók körében pedig korábban egy sem. Módszertan: A jelen közleményben bemutatott vizsgálat a Debreceni Egyetem Népegészségügyi Karának népegészségügyi ellenőr alapszakos hallgatói körében zajlott. Az önkitöltős, papíralapú kérdőív tartalmazott a demográfiai és társadalmi-gazdasági adatokra, szubjektív egészségi állapotra és egészségtudatosságra vonatkozó kérdéseket, továbbá az Európai Egészségműveltség Felmérésben (HLS-EU) használt, az egészségi ügyekben való boldogulás mértékének megítélését szolgáló kérdéseket is, illetve magába foglalta a funkcionális egészségműveltség mérésére alkalmas Newest Vital Sign (NVS) teszt magyarra fordított változatát. Az adatok elemzése során khi-négyzet próbát és Fisher-féle egzakt tesztet használtunk az évfolyamok közötti különbségek, illetve logisztikus regressziót az egészségműveltség szintjét determináló tényezők meghatározására. Eredmények: Az elemzésbe 118 fő válaszait tudtuk bevonni. A HLS-EU-teszt alapján a válaszadók 6%-a az elégtelen, 42%-a a problémás, 44%-a az elégséges és 8%-a a kitűnő egészségműveltségű kategóriába került. A hallgatók 86%-ának volt megfelelő, 13%-uk-nak limitált és 1%-uknak inadekvát a funkcionális egészségműveltsége. A negyedéves hallgatók egészségműveltségének szintje mindkét skálával mérve magasabb volt, mint elsős társaiké, de sem a társadalmi-gazdasági státuszt jellemző paraméterekkel, sem a szubjektív egészségi állapottal nem mutatott összefüggést az egészségműveltség mértéke. Következtetés: A vizsgálat úttörő jellege miatt csak korlátozottan adódik lehetőség eredményeink összevetésére más vizsgálatokkal. Egy korábbi hazai vizsgálat eredményeihez képest, ahol 16 éven felüliek körében ugyanezekkel a skálákkal gyűjtöttek adatokat, elmondható, hogy a hallgatók körében magasabb volt a funkcionális egészség-műveltség szintje és a HLS-EU-teszttel mérve alacsonyabb volt az elégtelen kategóriába tartozók aránya, mint az általános lakosság körében.
Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf das Hochwasserrisikomanagement in Österreich: Relevanz und Empfehlungen aus der Perspektive von Expert*innen aus dem Gesundheits- und Sozialbereich
Authors: Fischer Tatjana , Moder Karl , Nordbeck Ralf , Thaler Thomas , Clar Christoph
Published: June 2021

Der demografische Wandel stellt eine komplexe Herausforderung für den territorialen und sozialen Zusammenhalt in unserer Gesellschaft dar. Dies deshalb, weil die Teilräume Österreichs in unterschiedlichem Maße von Veränderungen der Bevölkerungsgröße und der altersstrukturellen Zusammensetzung betroffen sind. Die bedarfsgerechte Planung und Bereitstellung von sozialer Infrastruktur wird auch aufgrund der Veränderungen der Haushaltsstrukturen und der Heterogenisierung der Bevölkerung infolge internationaler Zuwanderung zunehmend zur Herausforderung. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf die soziale Infrastruktur im Bereich des Hochwasserrisikomanagements aus Sicht von Expert*innen aus dem Gesundheits- und Sozialbereich. 17 Expert*innen aus verschiedenen Bundesländern und Tätigkeitsbereichen beteiligten sich an einer schriftlichen Befragung im Frühjahr 2020. Sie beantworteten einen 29 Fragen umfassenden Fragenkatalog zu den Bedeutungszusammenhängen zwischen dem demografischen Wandel und dem Hochwasserrisikomanagement und gaben Empfehlungen für den künftigen Umgang mit dem Thema Demografie in den Risikomanagementkonzepten ab. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass beiden Themenfeldern eine hohe Relevanz zugeschrieben wird, diese jedoch tendenziell oberflächlich skizziert werden. Als Erklärung hierfür kann der Mangel an integrativer Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen angenommen werden. Dies wiederum führt dazu, dass man in diesem Politikfeld vom erklärten Ziel der WHO, nämlich der „Health-in-all-policies“, noch ein Stück weit entfernt ist.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus tapeworms. These parasites have a worldwide geographic distribution and pose a serious threat to livestock industry as well as human health in the endemic areas. CE is widely distributed in Pakistan. However, very few reports are available related to the regional transmission of E. granulosus. A retrospective analysis was conducted of surgically confirmed CE patients who were treated at Shoukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Lahore, Punjab Province, Pakistan from 2007 – 2018. In total, 536 CE patients were evaluated during the study period. Cases originated from the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (n=336), Punjab (n=147), Baluchistan (n=18), Sindh (n=3), Islamabad (n=2), Gilgit Baltistan (n=1), and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (n=1). An additional 28 cases were from Afghanistan. The highest number of CE cases was reported in 2013 (n=90). Females made up a larger proportion of cases (n=310; 57.8 %) than males (n=226; 42.2 %). Most patients were members of the Pashtun (n=197; 36.7 %), Hindku (n=142; 26.5 %), and Punjabi (n=118; 22.0 %) ethnic groups. The largest number of cysts was obtained from the liver (137/536; 25.6 %). This study showed that CE is likely present throughout Pakistan. In order to control the disease, a comprehensive control program and regional surveillance are needed.

A scanning electron microscope study was performed on the surface of the trematode Astiotrema impletum (Looss, 1899) Looss 1900 from the Nile puffer, Tetraodon lineatus Linnaeus, 1758 (Syn. Tetraodon fahaka) for the first time. Adult A. impletum have a markedly large, sub-terminal oral sucker and a small ventral sucker. As with most trematodes, tegumental spines are concentrated anteriorly and are absent just anterior the ventral sucker. Spines have serrated tips on a short, tongue–shaped body. At the level of the ventral sucker the base of each spine exhibits a three bulbous-like structure that can be partially or completely withdrawn into the tegument. Sensory papillae are concentrated around the oral and ventral suckers and genital pores. Papillae are conical or knob-like, either ciliated or non-ciliated; some are protruded and others are embedded inside the tegument. In the juvenile stage, spines are smaller, less well-developed and tightly packed. The cytoplasmic processes of the posterior quarter of body show brain-like velvety appearance on the adult and small cobblestone-like on the juvenile.

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by restricted interests and repetitive behavior, as well as deficit in communication skills and daily social interaction. Children with ASD are also at risk for developing disruptive behavior, such as noncompliance which have negative impact in academic and social functioning. Excessive noncompliance can be decreased by increasing positive alternative behavior, such as compliance with behavior modification. This study aimed to examine effectiveness of behavior modification program to enhance compliance for child with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HF-ASD) through single case A-B with follow-up design. Participant of this study was an 8-years old boy with HF-ASD and demonstrated noncompliance problem. This intervention was conducted in 19 sessions and applied errorless compliance training principle, such as behavioral momentum, errorless learning, effective instruction delivery, and positive reinforcement. Results showed behavior modification program effective to enhance compliance for child with HF-ASD from 8% to 81%, as well as generalized effect to untrained instruction that were not focus of intervention.

The analysis of 75 cases of refusal to hospitalize patients with acute decompensated heart failure was carried out. The overwhelming majority turned out to be elderly women with a high incidence of cognitive impairment. Among the reasons for refusal, 47% indicated an improvement in their condition after receiving assistance from an ambulance team. Such a decision is often based on an apathetic type of attitude towards the disease. At least one in four patients who refuse hospitalization is re-hospitalized or dies within the next 30 days.

With the development of Information Technology, Internet of Things (IoT) has been applied widely in human civilization, but it leads the increase of the risk about information security. The traditional security solutions has revealed the lack of compatibility with IoT because of the difference about complex communication protocol, low energy, processing ability and limited memory. Therefore, the suitable IoT security solutions needs the balance between energy and costs as well as wide adaption for the various network protocols. Our research team, after had been under a long process of analyzing theoretical documents and operating simulated experiments, recognized that the Lightweight cryptography is the most optimal solution in new network platform generation. Our team also improved and implemented CurveCP which is one of these Lightweight cryptographies in the Wireless sensor Networks (WSN) so as to enhance data secure and information security of IoT System. This study describes briefly the improvement of CurveCP Lightweight cryptography by reducing length of cryptographic key as well as implement in IoT System. It also includes the simulation experiment, solutions evaluation, conclusion and future development.

The development of marker-associated breeding requires the development of DNA marker systems that meet the needs of the breeding process. We are looking for the opportunities to improve the efficiency of breeding for high oleic acid content in sunflower oil. One of the directions is the improvement of the existing marker system for detection the heterozygous status of the alleles of the FAD 2-1 gene. We carried out the search for information published in databases on this DNA locus. We studied the structure of the nucleotide sequences of the mutant allele and the wild-type allele. We proposed the way of improving the existing marker system.

There is a demand in the food industry for natural solid vegetable oils. The use of sunflower oil with a high content of stearic acid prevents its hydrogenation in the manufacture of food products. The development of new lines of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) with an increased content of stearic acid may increase the demand for sunflower oil, a useful analogue of solid vegetable oils for special food purposes. We identified two inbred lines with a high content of stearic and oleic acids from a source with a high content of these acids, one of which, I5HSHO-1, is one-headed, the other, I5HSHO-2v, is many-branched, as well as two one-headed lines with high content of stearic acid on the linoleic background (I5HSLO-1, I5HSLO-2).

We studied the cultural and physiological characteristics of the producer strain 11-1 Bacillus sp. – the antagonist of sunflower Phoma rot pathogen to develop the technological regulations for the production of a microbiological preparation in a «wettable powder» form. We studied the cultural characteristics of the producer strain on three agar media: potato sucrose agar (PSA), Czapek’s agar and Tylon-3; the characteristics varied significantly depending on the nutrient medium. The maximum diameter of colonies on the tenth day of incubation developed on the Tylon-3 medium – 66×99 mm. We established the optimal conditions for the cultivation of the strain on liquid nutrient media: temperature – 30–35 °С, medium pH from 6 to 10. We found that molasses is an optimal source of carbon nutrition, while peptone is the most favorable source of nitrogen nutrition. We established that the Tylon-3 medium is the optimal complex liquid nutrient medium for the cultivation of the bacterial strain 11-1 Bacillus sp.
