Introduction. Doctors of almost all specialties have to deal with the problem of pain and its relief. According to the literature, almost 30 million people daily take analgesics from the group of non-opioid analgesics, but in more than half of them 4-6 hours after taking the medication, the severity of pain is unchanged.

Objective. to search for the most active molecules potential selective inhibitors of the TRPA1 ion channel with further investigation of their pharmacodynamic effects, toxicological safety, pharmacokinetic parameters and organ distribution, as well as to assess their impact on the psychoemotional state, general locomotor activity levels and anxiety in laboratory animals.

Materials and methods. According to the results of in vitro tests, the most active molecule under code ZC02-0012 was selected from the pool of candidates. Further its analgesic activity was evaluated using an acetic acid-induced writhing test and a hot plate test; its anti-inflammatory activity was studied in the acute exudative paw edema model; in the open field and elevated plus-maze tests the influence of ZC02-0012 on the general locomotor activity levels and the anxiety of the laboratory animals was studied. The pharmacokinetic parameters and organ distribution of the substance ZC02-0012 were studied using a liquid chromatograph with an operating pressure range of 0-60 mPa (Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000).

Results and discussion. According to the results of in vitro tests, it was found that IC50 of the TRPA1 selective inhibitor under laboratory code ZC02-0012 was 91.3 nmol. The preclinical studies showed that ZC02-0012 possessed pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities and absence of the influence on the behavior and anxiety of the laboratory animals. Absolute bioavailability of ZC02-0012 in rabbits was 47%, while ZC02-0012 was intensely distributed into organs and tissues with a high level of blood circulation. The highest content of ZC02-0012 is typical of liver, kidneys and lungs, the lowest – for muscle tissue. Most of the substance is undergone rapid biotransformation and excreted as metabolites.
Overlooked gall-inducing moths revisited, with the description of Andescecidium parrai gen. et sp. n. and Oliera saizi sp. n. from Chile (Lepidoptera, Cecidosidae)
Authors: Silva Gabriela T. , Moreira Gilson R.P. , Vargas Héctor A. , Gonçalves Gislene L. , Mainardi Marina D. , San Blas Germán , Davis Donald
Published: November 2018

There are still many gall systems associated with larvae of Lepidoptera in which the true gall-inducers have not been identified to species. Reports on misidentification of gall inducers have been recurrent for these galls, particularly in complex gall-systems that may include inquilines, kleptoparasites, and cecidophages, among other feeding guilds such as predators and parasitoid wasps. Here we describe and illustrate the adults, larvae, pupae and galls, based on light and scanning microscopy, ofAndescecidiumparraigen. et sp. n.andOlierasaizisp. n., two sympatric cecidosid moths that are associated withSchinuspolygamus(Cav.) Cabrera (Anacardiaceae) in central Chile. Adults, immatures, and galls of the former did not conform to any known cecidosid genus. Galls ofA.parraiare external, spherical, and conspicuous, being known for more than one century. However, their induction has been mistakenly associated with either unidentified Coleoptera (original description) orOlieraargentinanaBrèthes (recently), a distinct cecidosid species with distribution restricted to the eastern Andes. Galls ofO.saizihad been undetected, as they are inconspicuous. They occur under the bark within swollen stems, and may occur on the same plant, adjacent to those ofA.parrai. We also propose a time-calibrated phylogeny using sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear loci, including specimens of the new proposed taxa. Thus in addition to clarifying the taxonomy of the Chilean cecidosid species we also tested their monophyly in comparison to congeneric species and putative specimens of all genera of Neotropical and African cecidosids.
Nurses' Writing Blocks
Authors: Johnson Suzanne Hall
Published: November 2018

Writing blocks are common for all authors, however, nurses find some even more difficult to hurdle.1,2 The lack of confidence is a major block which can keep the nurse author from even starting work on writing. The lack of convenient location and time plus the low priority of publishing can be mighty barriers. Inexperience in writing style can block some nurse authors while the absence or presence of perfectionism can inhibit others. The blocks are real. Yet, the nurse who identifies each block and focuses on finding ways around them will be rewarded with a completed manuscript ready for submission to a journal.
INTRAOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS DURING TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY
Authors: Patterson Brendan M , Lieberman Jay R , Salvati Eduardo A
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT

Total hip replacement is one of the most common adult reconstructive procedures performed today. Even though training in total hip replacement has become fairly common in many orthopedic residency programs, complications can still occur during surgery. Preoperative planning and close attention to detail may prevent intraoperative problems. Awareness of the potential downfalls allows the surgeon to properly prepare for surgery, avoid intraoperative complications, and manage unavoidable problems when they do arise.
The Roman City of Tarsus in Cilicia and its Terracotta Figurines
Authors: Rous Isabelle Hasselin , Yalçin Serdar
Published: November 2018

From the Bronze Age to Greco-Roman antiquity, Tarsus was an important urban center because of its proximity to the famous Cilician Gates that connected central Anatolia to the Mediterranean coast and northern Syria, as well its maritime connections to the eastern Mediterranean through its harbor. The mound of Gözlükule, the oldest and continuously inhabited part of the ancient city, informs modern scholarship about the material and visual culture of Roman Tarsus, as well as the earlier periods of habitation. The mound was explored in the middle of the 19th century, excavated in the mid-20th, and for the last 10 years was the focus of renewed excavations by the Boğazici University. During the course of all these investigations a number of deposits of Roman terracotta figurines was brought to light. This rich coroplastic material shows the evolution of a coroplastic typology according to changes in the occupation of this city from the early Imperial to the late Imperial eras. It also reveals new aspects of coroplastic production and use in the city of Tarsus, demonstrating the importance of these figurines for provincial Roman religion, especially in the transitional period of the late Roman Empire2.
Fast and Efficient Multiview Access Control Mechanism for Cloud Based Agriculture Storage Management System
Authors: Sambrekar Kuldeep , Rajpurohit Vijay S.
Published: November 2018

Agriculture and its related industries are the backbone of many countries' economic growth. To achieve an efficient agricultural management system, remote sensing forecasting and GIS technology are providing information to users/stakeholders of various agricultural application uses. This information is huge in size and is stored in the cloud computing storage environment. Minimizing data access and storage costs on such an environment is desired. For achieving fine-grained role-based access control mechanisms, researchers are now focusing on ensuring such roles are enforced correctly. Existing models, though they are using role-based access control at various levels, are facing challenges like high computation rates and storage overhead. Currently, existing systems are using XML and UML for role and user creation. To address these research challenges, this article presents a model Fast and Efficient Multi View Access Control (FEMVAC) using the Amazon S3 public cloud environment for agriculture. The model minimizes storage overhead by adopting a banarization method over UML/XML method. The experimental outcome shows that the FEMVAC method is efficient compared with existing models.

On the scope of protection of renowned trade marks
Authors: Ghidini Gustavo , Cavani Giovanni
Published: November 2018

The aim of this paper is to define the scope of protection afforded to ‘marks with reputation’ under EU Directives and Regulations. The authors argue that the protection granted to said marks also in relation to ‘not similar’ goods requires that, having regard to all the circumstances of the specific case, the consumer could be induced to reasonably suppose that the trade mark owner is somehow (industrially or commercially) connected with the circulation of products bearing an identical or confusingly similar sign. If this possibility cannot be assessed, it should be denied that the use of that sign either brings an unfair advantage to the third party user, or is detrimental to the distinctive character or the repute of the renowned trade mark. In sum, the thesis here submitted states that the protection afforded to renowned trade marks, even ‘extra moenia’ (ie beyond the risk of confusion in a strict sense between the products), anyway presupposes that a misleading message is conveyed to the consumer, inducing her/him to ‘transfer’ the reputation of the latter's products to those of the third party user's products, with the effect of altering the consumer's purchasing choices.
Regulating peer-to-peer technology in China: inspiration from the United Kingdom
Authors: Ma Xiao
Published: November 2018

During the past decade, China has learnt from the experience of the United States and developed a series of legal instruments to address the digital challenges of massive copyright infringement. These efforts have established a joint tort liability system under which network service providers (NSPs) share joint liability with direct infringing users under certain conditions. Under this system, NSPs bear aiding or abetting liabilities which correspond to the United States’ contributory and inducement liabilities. However, when facing peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, the fault-centred approach manifested in knowledge is not only difficult to prove but also overlooks objective factors. Moreover, general tort law principles are sometimes set aside in adjudicating cases concerning indirect copyright liabilities.

This article examines authorization liability in the United Kingdom, finding that this approach is underpinned by traditional tort law theory and more integrated in adjudicating P2P cases. It requires a spectrum of consideration consisting of two-step analysis: conceptual analysis and multi-factor analysis. This research proposes that while maintaining the current dichotomy framework of copyright liabilities, the UK authorization liability approach provides a valuable lesson, especially in regulating P2P technologies in China.

Using Snowfall Intensity to Improve the Correction of Wind-Induced
Undercatch in Solid Precipitation Measurements
Authors: Colli Matteo , Stagnaro Mattia , Lanza Luca , Rasmussen Roy , Thériault Julie M.
Published: November 2018

Abstract. Transfer functions are generally used to adjust for the wind-induced undercatch of solid precipitation measurements. These functions are derived based on the variation of the collection efficiency with wind speed for a particular type of gauge, either using field experiments or based on numerical simulation. Most studies use the wind speed alone, while others also include surface air temperature and/or precipitation type to try to reduce the scatter of the residuals at a given wind speed. In this study, we propose the use of the measured precipitation intensity to improve the effectiveness of the transfer function. This is achieved by applying optimized curve fitting to field measurements from the Marshall field-test site (CO, USA). The use of a non-gradient optimization algorithm ensures optimal binning of experimental data according to the parameter under test. The results reveal that using precipitation intensity as an explanatory variable significantly reduce the scatter of the residuals. The scatter reduction as indicated by the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is confirmed by the analysis of the recent quality controlled data from the WMO/SPICE campaign, showing that this approach can be applied to a variety of locations and catching-type gauges. We demonstrate the physical basis of the relationship between the collection efficiency and the measured precipitation intensity, due to the correlation of large particles with high intensities, by conducting a Computational Fluid-Dynamics (CFD) simulation. We use a Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes SST k-ω model coupled with a Lagrangian particle-tracking model. Results validate the hypothesis of using the measured precipitation intensity as a key parameter to improve the correction of wind-induced undercatch. Findings have the potential to improve operational measurements since no additional instrument other than a wind sensor is required to apply the correction. This improves the accuracy of precipitation measurements without the additional cost of ancillary instruments such as particle counters.
