Published: August 2020

Background: Physicians’ satisfaction is closely related to the effectiveness of health services, including quality of services as well as patient compliance, satisfaction, and outcomes. Objectives: This study was designed to examine the job satisfaction level of physicians working at a referral hospital in Tehran. Methods: This research was a descriptive study performed on a population of physicians working at a referral hospital from April to August 2019. The sample size was calculated as 120 subjects. The Physicians’ Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (PJSQ), which is a valid questionnaire, was used as the data collection tool. The collected data was entered into SPSS Statistics 20. Mann-Whitney and t tests were used for data analysis. Results: The frequency of female and male physicians was 50 (38.2%) and 81 (61.8%), respectively. The total mean of Job satisfaction in physicians was 51± 7.05. Overall satisfaction scores were 70.7±15.1, 51.5±11.1, 49.8±13.1, 49.5±11.2, 44.1±9.3, and 40.5±11.9 in domains of income satisfaction, physicians’ satisfaction with management, relationship between physicians and their colleagues, patients, staff, and physicians’ job satisfaction, respectively. 87% of physicians participating in this study were not willing to leave their jobs. The income satisfaction of the female physician group was significantly higher than that of men (P=0.029). The income satisfaction of subspecialists was significantly higher than that of specialists (P=0.022). The job satisfaction of physicians who were not faculty members was significantly higher than that of physicians who were faculty members (P=0.034). Conclusion: The job satisfaction level of physicians working at a referral hospital in Tehran was moderate. Income satisfaction and job satisfaction were the highest and lowest levels of satisfaction, respectively.
Is Melioidosis a One Health-Neglected Disease in Iran?
Authors: Baradaran-Seyed Zahra
Published: August 2020

According to the several scientific resources, Iran is considered to be among the melioidosis-endemic regions of the world; this is in stark contrast to the domestic stance in Iran, where the risk of melioidosis is speculated only as an emerging infectious disease in a non-endemic area. Recently, we have had devastating flash floods in the most provinces of Iran; the changing of soil structure may facilitate the cultivation of bacteria in the upper layers of the ground, consequently causes exposure and re-emergence of the disease. Considering previous isolation and identification of Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia Pseudomallei, and Burkholderia cepacia complex from human, animal, and environment samples in Iran, it is urgently necessary to upgrade and equip infrastructures to identify and distinguish between pathogenic Burkholderia and commensals in the context of the One Health surveillance system. In the present perspective, the history of melioidosis in the country is presented to attract attention to the negligence of disease over the last four decades.
COVID-19 Outbreak in Africa: Lessons and Insights from the West African Ebola Virus Disease Epidemics
Authors: Adesanya Oluwafolajimi Adetoye
Published: August 2020

Over the years, the African continent has had to battle several outbreaks of infectious diseases in different countries. Some of the most deadly were the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks that occurred in West Africa between 2014 and 2016 affecting Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone and, more recently, from 2018 to 2020 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important that as a continent, we draw lessons and insights from our past experiences to guide outbreak response strategies being deployed to curb the latest onslaught. The Ebola outbreaks have shown that disease outbreaks should not be seen only as medical emergencies, but as full blown humanitarian crises, because oftentimes, their socio-economic impacts are more devastating than the more obvious cost to life. In this mini-review, we explore the possible humanitarian costs of the COVID-19 pandemic on the African continent by looking through the lens of our past experiences with the EVD outbreaks, highlighting how the current pandemic could significantly affect the African economy, food security, and vulnerable demographics, like children and the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and girls. We then proffer recommendations that could be instrumental in preventing a double tragedy involving the devastating health consequences of the virus itself and the deadly fallout from its multi-sectoral knock-on effects in African countries. Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, Ebola Virus Disease, Coronavirus.

Authors: Dimitrenko Nikita V.
Published: August 2020

The article is devoted to some aspects of the preparation of the USSR for bacteriological war in the second half of the 1930s, as well as the activities of intelligence agencies and the Military-technical Bureau to obtain information in the fi eld of military bacteriology, taking into account the realities of the state of international relations. Special attention is paid to the development of offensive bacteriological weapons abroad, as well as the evaluation of the materials obtained by experts in the USSR. The paper uses previously unpublished archival sources covering the successes of Soviet intelligence, as well
as shedding light on the state of development of the sphere in question in some foreign countries. The author describes the mechanism of interdepartmental cooperation implemented in order to strengthen the defence potential of the USSR in the military-bacteriological sphere and the introduction of the information obtained in the industry.
BOURGEOIS TENDENCIES IN THE SOCIAL LIFE AND MENTALITY OF THE SOVIET SOCIETY OF THE 1950S TO 80S.
Authors: Beznin Mikhail А. , Dimoni Tatyana M. , Stoletova Anna S.
Published: August 2020

The article raises the question of a signifi cant trend in the socio-economic development of post-war Soviet society. As a study of the formation of bourgeois trends, the authors note class restructuring, a change in the organisation of labour, the
formation of entrepreneurial skills, including in the sectors of the «ghost» and «shadow» economies, and the desire for a high level of consumption. Among the mechanisms of the formation of bourgeois trends, a signifi cant role was played by the position of the state, which, on the one hand, made efforts to stimulate interest in material security (including through the promotion of advanced workers, the formation of a new consumer culture), and on the other hand, restrained the processes of material differentiation according to ideological concepts of social justice. The article was prepared on the basis of materials from the Russian State Archive of Recent History, the Russian State Archive of Economics: documents from the Communist Party bodies, reviews of law enforcement agencies, letters from citizens, as well as basing on study of the results of sociological surveys of the 1960s and the 1980s. (Some of those were recovered from the former special security service of the Russian State Library). The authors come to the conclusion that by the end of the Soviet period as a result of ongoing processes, ideological cliches about a socially homogeneous society had signifi cantly outlived their usefulness.

Authors: Kamakshi Bansal , Ashish Goel , Ankur Agarwal
Published: August 2020

Purpose: To study the relation between the performance of older persons in Delhi on individual components of MMSE and years spent on formal education. Material and methods: Random subjects above sixty years, attending out-patient clinics of Department of Medicine or Senior Citizen Clinic between November 2014-April
2016 were included in this study and approved by Institutional Ethical Committee after they consented. Patients with acute infectious conditions were excluded. Participants were assessed using a pre-designed MMSE. Frequency tables for all components were constructed. To evaluate the relationship between gender and MMSE as well as educational status and MMSE, the t-test was used. Linear regression models were
developed using MMSE as an outcome variable, and exposure variables were added in blocks. Results: 100 subjects were included in this cross-sectional assessment. >90% of people were oriented to space and were able to repeat and recall all three objects. The mean MMSE score was 24.92 (±5.8). Males had a higher score than women. Education status affected fields like serial deduction, obeying a 3 stage command, writing, drawing and responding to a written command due to which only 50% of people scored well in these parameters. Conclusion: Age and education are critical factors in understanding the inconsistencies in MMSE execution. Subjects who spent more years in formal education performed better than the subjects with low education.
The low educational levels increase the probability of misclassifying the ordinary subjects as cognitively impaired. Since the memory area of the MMSE is less influenced by training, it might be utilized alongside other tests in populaces with low instruction.

Authors: Kamil Indriyati , Abdoellah Oekan S , Agustin Herlina , Bakti Iriana
Published: August 2020

This article highlights the dynamics of geothermal energy in the Kamojang nature reserve in Indonesia. A nature reserve is a conservation area that must be protected and preserved, because it has unique flora and fauna, and rare ecosystems whose existence is threatened with extinction. After going through a long study process by an integrated team, the government finally made a policy to change the function of the nature reserve into a Nature Tourism Park. Changes in policy changes to the function of nature reserves cause pros and cons in the community, and cause conflicts between government and environmental activists. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into natural tourism parks in the Kamojang conservation area of Indonesia, as well as to identify appropriate communication models in the management of geothermal energy through communication and environmentally sustainable approaches. Research findings show that the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into tourist parks include; the interests of geothermal energy to meet national energy needs and electricity infrastructure, accommodate the needs of surrounding communities that utilize water resources in conservation areas, and restore ecosystems. The communication model for geothermal energy management that we propose at the same time is also a novelty namely; ecopopulism approach, negotiation approach, collaboration, and equating meaning and orientation to environmental sustainability.

A Concept Smart Switch for Single-Phase Transformer and Reactor Control
Authors: Everton Michael
Published: August 2020

Introduced
to electrical power networks at the turn of the century, the use of power
electronic devices to control and regulate single-phase networks has trailed
behind. A likely reason for this outcome is the relative cost of 'smart
devices' in a system of low earned revenue.

Now a feature of grid modernisation projects, interest
in 'smart devices' as a means to extend the useful life of distribution assets,
delay capital expenditure, lower operating costs and to improve the supply
reliability, is growing.

Described in this paper for the control of
single-phase transformers and reactors is a concept 'smart switch' that uses a
low voltage low power thyristor. Built with a novel magnetic core and winding
arrangement, the disconnection and reconnection of a transformer or reactor is
controlled by the semiconductor switch. The concept design is demonstrated in
this paper for a thermal overload and switched shunt reactor transformer
applications.

Published: August 2020

This study evaluated the phytochemical compositions, antioxidant properties, chlorophyll content and anti-tyrosinase activity of methanol leaf extracts of two tomato varieties, Lycopersicon esculentum (var. Eva F1) and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill (var. Hausa). The dried pulverized of the plant’s leaves were extracted by decoction and mild agitation. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannin, glycoside, saponin, terpenoid and anthraquinone were present in the extracts of both varieties examined, while alkaloid and phlobatannin were confirmed absent in the extracts. The presence of steroid was observed in var. Eva F1 but absent in var. Hausa. Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of var. Eva F1 were 505.9 ± 2.61 mg GAE/ge, and 35.5 ± 1.64 mg RE/ge, while var. Hausa recorded a TPC and TFC value of 344.3 ± 2.01 and 7.8 ± 0.15 mg RE/ge respectively. The chlorophyll content of the extracts were 6.6 ± 0.02 mg/ge (chlorophyll a), 5.7 ± 0.05 mg/ge (chlorophyll b) and 12.6 ± 0.14 mg/ge (total chlorophyll content) for Eva F1 variety, while the chlorophyll contents for var. Hausa were 7.6 ± 0.32 mg.ge (chlorophyll a), 5.6 ± 0.06 mg/ge (chlorophyll b) and 13.7 ± 0.14 mg/ge. Eva F1 and Hausa showed percentage inhibition of 76.3 % and 61.2 % at 400 μg/mL. The IC50 value of var. Eva F1 and var. Hausa were 110 μg/mL and 160 μg/mL. The inhibition constant (KI) of var. Eva F1 and var. Hausa, were 0.006 and 0.016 μg/mL, respectively, and both extracts showed partial competitive inhibition. Hence, this confirms the phytoprotective and tyrosinase inhibitory properties of tomato plant leaves.

Evaluation of Postharvest Shelf Life and Quality of Lemon Treated with Different Coatings during Storage
Authors: Sen Proma , Rafi Kazi N.S. , Uddin Zia , Aziz M. G.
Published: August 2020

The effect of edible coatings such as mustard, olive and soybean oils with 1.5% (w/v) sodium alginate (C6H7NaO6)n on the postharvest shelf life and the quality of Jara Lebu (Citrus medica) in 1.5% perforated LDP (low density polythene) bags at 30-32°C and 80-85% relative humidity were evaluated. The changes of physico-chemical attributes like percent weight loss, percent juice yield, pH, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), percent fruit decay, acidity and vitamin C were observed for 18 days of storage. After observing results we found that in controlling percent weight loss, percent juice yield, percent fruit decay, pH and TSS, mustard oil +1.5% sodium alginate coatings showed the best results whereas soybean oil with 1.5% sodium alginate coating showed reverse results. Concerning to the results of preserving acidity and vitamin C, the 1.5% sodium alginate and the mustard oil with 1.5% sodium alginate were found as the most effective coatings on the other hand olive oil plus 1.5% sodium alginate coatings showed slight efficiency in controlling the postharvest quality loss. Though the coating of lemon with mustard oil +1.5% sodium alginate and only 1.5% sodium alginate showed significantly better results with respect to sensory evaluation, the former one eventually performed the best in retaining most of the quality parameters of the samples. This study clearly indicates that mustard oil with 1.5% sodium alginate coating can be used as the best edible coating for preserving almost all the postharvest quality parameters as well as extending the shelf life of Jara Lebu.
PROTACs are effective in addressing the platelet toxicity associated with BCL-XL inhibitors
Authors: Zhang Peiyi , Zhang Xuan , Liu Xingui , Khan Sajid , Zhou Daohong , Zheng Guangrong
Published: August 2020

BCL-XL is an anti-apoptotic protein that plays an important role in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and intrinsic or therapy-induced cancer drug resistance. More recently, BCL-XL has also been identified as a key survival factor in senescent cells. Accumulation of senescent cells has been indicated as a causal factor of aging and many age-related diseases and contributes to tumor relapse and metastasis. Thus, inhibition of BCL-XL is an attractive strategy for the treatment of cancer and extension of healthspan. However, development of BCL-XL inhibitors such as navitoclax for clinical use has been challenging because human platelets depend on BCL-XL for survival. In this review, we discuss how BCL-XL-targeted proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) afford a novel approach to mitigate the on-target thrombocytopenia associated with BCL-XL inhibition. We summarize the progress in the development of BCL-XL PROTACs. We highlight the in vitro and in vivo data supporting that by hijacking the ubiquitin protein ligase (E3) that are poorly expressed in human platelets, BCL-XL PROTACs can significantly improve the therapeutic window compared to conventional BCL-XL inhibitors. These findings demonstrated the potentially broad utility of PROTAC technology to achieve tissue selectivity through recruiting differentially expressed E3 ligases and to reduce on-target toxicity.

Published: August 2020

Resumen: Debido a las nuevas necesidades que tiene la actual sociedad multicultural española y a la falta de recursos lingüísticos en ciertas lenguas  minoritarias, a través del presente proyecto se propone dar un paso adelante y crear el diseño y el modelo de lo que podría llegar a ser un diccionario trilingüe de términos sanitarios en línea. Como la sanidad es un factor importante en la vida de cada individuo y del que depende el desarrollo de una sociedad, se considera abordar la temática de la sanidad en relación con los pacientes extranjeros de origen rumano. Por otro lado, la gran expansión y utilidad del internet influye en la elección de la variante de un diccionario en línea. Consideramos que los beneficios de un diccionario de estas características son mayores que los de un diccionario en formato papel. Abstract: Due to the new needs of the current Spanish multicultural society and to the lack of linguistic resources in certain minority languages, through this project we aim to take a step further and create the design and model of what could become an online trilingual dictionary of medical terms. As health is a very important factor in the life of every individual and since the development of a society depends on it, we considered addressing the issue of health in relation to foreign patients of Romanian origin. On the other hand, the great utility of the internet and its huge expansion influences the choice of an online dictionary. We believe that the benefits of such a dictionary outweigh the ones of a dictionary in paper format.
Descriptions of Interpreting and their Ethical Consequences
Authors: Ozolins Uldis
Published: August 2020

Abstract: The current array of descriptions that are given of interpreting outside the conference room has bedeviled the field: from ‘community interpreting’ to ‘dialogue interpreting’ to ‘public service interpreting’ to ‘ad hoc interpreting’ to ‘non-professional interpreting’. Some descriptions avoid ‘interpreting’ altogether – ‘linguistic mediation’, ‘cultural mediation’, etc. Significantly, self-ascription by the practitioners themselves often does not match these imposed descriptions. Yet each description carries with it, implicitly or explicitly, a specific view of ethics, tied closely to perceived roles of interpreters, but often encompassing assumptions about tasks, personal or professional characteristics, or status. This messy terminological terrain is surveyed to reveal some altogether clear distinctions that can help our understanding of differentiating and common elements in interpreting. Building on that, the ethical implications of different descriptions are categorised to show that ethical responsibility in interpreting situations rests not with the interpreters alone, but with other players, particularly institutional players, in contracting language services.Resumen: La actual variedad de descripciones que se dan sobre la interpretación fuera de la sala de conferencias ha dañado al campo: desde “interpretación social” a “interpretación de diálogo”, “interpretación en los servicios públicos”, “interpretación ad hoc” o “interpretación no profesional”. Algunas descripciones evitan decir “interpretación” tal cual – “mediación lingüística”, “mediación cultural”, etc. De manera significativa, la auto-adscripción por parte de los profesionales a menudo no coincide con estas descripciones impuestas. Aunque cada descripción entraña, implícita o explícitamente, una mirada específica a la ética, ligada estrechamente a los papeles desempeñados por los intérpretes, a menudo incluye suposiciones sobre tareas, características personales o profesionales, o estatus. Este desorganizado terreno terminológico se analiza para revelar muy claras diferencias que pueden ayudar a nuestra comprensión de la diferenciación y elementos comunes en la interpretación. Al hilo de ello, se clasifican las implicaciones éticas de las diferentes descripciones para mostrar que la responsabilidad ética en situaciones interpretativas descansa no sólo en los intérpretes, sino en otras partes, especialmente las institucionales, en la contratación de servicios de idiomas.

Authors: Idzikowska Ula
Published: August 2020

Abstract: Public service interpreting and translation have received increasing attention during the last decades. Particularly, public service interpreting has been the object of a considerable number of research. However, research on public service translation (PST) still remains scarce. This article contributes to PST studies by providing an overview of the steps taken towards its professionalization in Flanders (Belgium) such as delineating the PST’s competency profile and the refinement of the certification exam. Moreover, it outlines the background of PST inFlanders and discusses the future challenges concerning the topic, including the continuous quality control and assurance.Resumen: La traducción e interpretación en los servicios públicos ha recibido mayor atención en las últimas décadas. Concretamente, la interpretación en los servicios públicos ha sido objeto de numerosas investigaciones en el campo. Sin embargo, la investigación sobre la traducción en los servicios públicos  (TSP) sigue siendo escasa. Este artículo contribuye al desarrollo de estudios sobre la traducción en los servicios públicos, proponiendo un resumen de los pasos tomados hacia su profesionalización en Flandes (Bélgica), la descripción del perfil y las competencias del traductor en los servicios públicos  y la mejora del examen de certificación. Además, expone el contexto de la TSP en Flandes y analiza los retos relacionados con este tema, incluyendo la garantía de un continuo control de calidad.
Análisis de la Presencia Mediática de la TISP en España y de su Posible Profesionalización
Authors: Corrochano Carmen Cedillo
Published: August 2020

Resumen: La Traducción e Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos (TISP) es una actividad que, hasta la fecha, no ha conseguido alcanzar en España el estatus de profesión. Numerosas han sido las reivindicaciones y los esfuerzos realizados al respecto pero ninguno ha prosperado aún en su profesionalización. El presente trabajo pretende entonces redirigirlos hacia un campo aún poco explorado con este fin, el de los medios de comunicación, y analizar el posible vínculo existente entre la presencia mediática de la TISP y su estatus. Así, partiendo de la hipótesis de que los medios inciden o podrían incidir en la profesionalización de la TISP en España, se establecen cuatro fases distintas en la investigación llevada a cabo: (1) análisis de la presencia mediática de la TISP en los mass y social media a través de los motores de búsqueda de Internet y aplicaciones de reconocimiento de palabras clave con la sucesiva elaboración de un corpus de materiales, (2) encuesta a trabajadores de los medios de comunicación, (3) diseño de iniciativas mediáticas y materialización de las mismas, y (4) evaluación de las iniciativas mediáticas materializadas. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto, principalmente, la escasa presencia mediática de la TISP en España y la importancia del aumento de su cobertura en pro de su (re)conocimiento y, consecuentemente, de su posible profesionalización.Abstract: Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT) is an activity which has not yet achieved a professional status in Spain. Despite the many efforts and complaints that have been made, they have not succeeded  in achieving its professionalisation. This working paper aims to reconduct them to a still not very explored field, that is, the media, and analyse the possible relation between the media coverage of PSIT and its current status. In this way, based on the hypothesis that media influence or could influence on the professionalisation of PSIT in Spain, four different stages have been stablished so as to carry out the present research: (1) analysis of the media coverage of PSIT in Spain thanks to Internet search engines and applications for key word recognition and the subsequent creation of a material corpus, (2) survey of media workers, (3) design and launch of media initiatives, and (4) evaluation of the media initiatives launched. The results mainly reveal the limited media coverage of PSIT in Spain and the importance of an increase in support of its acknowledgement and, therefore, long-awaited professionalisation.
