Gender Disparities- Issues on Sexual and Reproductive Health; Knowledge and Practices on Decision Making
Authors: Parajuli Pradip
Published: March 2021

Sexual and Reproductive health rights are key human rights instruments. Since last few decades, sexual and reproductive health and rights has been recognized as a major topic in the international health and development agenda. Sexual and reproductive rights of women became recognized as universal human rights in 1994, violations of which happen in some reproductive health areas including gender concern. But in the developing countries like ours, patriarchal society rooted deeply that male control over women's mobility, sexuality and reproduction. Men’s control over women’s mobility like imposition of Parda, restriction on leaving domestic space, strict separation of public and private space and limits on interaction between the sexes. Male controls over women’s sexuality like women are obliged to provide sexual services to their men when they desire, the legal and moral values restrict women’s sexuality outside marriage, men may force their women in sex trade. Even in reproduction male control over them. Men also control over women’s reproductive power in many societies by no freedom to decide how many children they want and when, cannot decide to use the contraceptive or terminate the pregnancy. In most of the South Asian countries women are forced to give birth to a son or her place is not secured so she is compelled to give several births if she cannot produce son. Sexual and reproductive health and rights are important rights in themselves, but can also greatly enhance possibilities for empowering girls and women and for achieving gender equality. Reproductive health stresses people rights to sexuality, reproduction, and family planning, and the information to actualize these rights, which has been inseparably linked to development. We examine how sexual and reproductive health and rights interventions can have positive and lasting impacts not only on the health outcomes of girls and women, but can also enable women’s access to opportunities across social, economic and political life. Many efforts had been done in these issues nationally and internationally.

Published: March 2021

Celem pracy była ocena funkcjonowania chorych z zaburzeniami połykania po operacji radykalnego usunięcia krtani. Do badania wstępnie zakwalifikowano 20 pacjentów, będących dłużej niż 6 miesięcy po całkowitym usunięciu krtani, wymagających przeprowadzenia badania wideofluoroskopowego (VFSS) ze względu na zgłaszane zaburzenia połykania. Grupę ostateczną stanowiło 10 osób (8 mężczyzn i 2 kobiety). Procedura badania obejmowała: zebranie wywiadu, wykonania pełnego badania VFSS oraz wypełnienie przez pacjenta kwestionariusza MDADI. Najczęściej stwierdzanymi problemami były: brak kontaktu nasady języka z tylną ścianą gardła, zaburzenia obróbki oralnej kęsa oraz ruchy pompujące języka. Chorzy oceniali nisko swoją jakość życia. Obecność lub brak regurgitacji treści pokarmowych do nosa znacznie wpływał na funkcjonowanie pacjentów. Zgłaszanie przez chorych zaburzeń połykania oraz problemów z wytworzeniem głosu i mowy zastępczej jest wskazaniem do dalszej diagnostyki (np. VFSS). Dobór skutecznej metody terapeutycznej może wpłynąć na poprawę jakości życia tych osób.

Authors: Hadavi Maryam , Mirhosseini Hamid , Barakati Maryam , Hadavi Maryam , Bidaki Reza
Published: March 2021

Background: Celiac is an inflammatory bowel disease and an autoimmune disorder which is genetically stimulated by gluten-free protein synthesis. Patients with this disease usually suffer from anxiety and depression. Cognitive-behavioural therapy focusing on mindfulness and considering psychological flexibility have been more effective than other treatments on depression and anxiety of psychiatric patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy on depression and anxiety in celiac disease.
Method: This Quasi-Experimental study was carried out on celiac patients admitted to the celiac committee, celiac and gastroenterologists' clinics of Yazd in Iran. Thirty participants selected by available sampling and randomly allocated to two experimental and control groups. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Inventory (HADS) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Scale (GIS) Scale used to collect data. The data analysed by
Fisher’s exact test, Independent t test and ANOVA.
Result: In the experimental group, the mental health variable (anxiety, depression and therapeutic response) significantly improved after the intervention in the post-test.
Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment therapy was effective in improving depression and anxiety in celiac disease. Probability, the participation of the patient in a group of people with the same illness and the sharing of therapeutic experiences led to reduction of anxiety and depression and, consequently, improved patient function in their treatment.
Intradural calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease: case report
Authors: Chakravorty Ananya , Murambi Ronald T. , Cherukuri Ravi Kumar V.
Published: March 2021

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease, also known as pseudogout, is a crystalline arthropathy that usually affects large joints and periarticular tissue. Spinal involvement is rare and is usually limited to extradural articular and periarticular structures. Only one case of intradural disease has been previously reported. The authors report the second known case of intradural CPPD deposition disease. An 81-year-old man presented with an 8-week history of urinary and fecal incontinence on the background of long-standing back pain, lower-limb paresthesia, and a known L1 calcified intradural extramedullary mass. Slow growth of the L1 lesion had been documented over several decades on serial CT and MRI. A T12–L2 laminectomy and gross-total resection of the mass was performed. Histopathology demonstrated polarizing rhomboid-shaped crystals consistent with CPPD deposition disease. The patient had significant improvement in bowel and bladder function 6 months postoperatively and made a full recovery. The pathophysiology of intradural involvement remains uncertain. Further case series are required to clarify the true incidence and prognosis of the condition.

Authors: Rasheed Lone Faisal , Kumar Verma Harsh , Pal Sharma Krishna
Published: March 2021

Advancement in wireless communication technology along with the evolution of low power computational devices, have given rise to the Internet of things paradigm.
This paradigm is transforming conventional VANETs into Internet-of- vehicles. This transition has led to a substantial commercial interest; as a result, there has been a significant
boost in the field of the Internet of vehicles during the past few years. IoV promises a wide range of applications of commercial interest as well as public entertainment and
convenience (collision warning systems, on-demand in-car entertainment, smart parking, traffic information). Applications related to vehicular and passenger safety are particularly
of great commercial as well as a research interest as such IoV is going to be a core component in implementing the smart city concept. This paper gives an overview of the
transition of conventional VANETs to IoV and highlights the potential applications and challenges faced by the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm.
Cuestiones de microbiología literaria
Authors: Navarro Rosa María
Published: March 2021

Entre los rasgos temáticos y pragmáticos de la microficción, junto a la intertextualidad, el juego lingüístico, lo fantástico o la parodia, la metaficción, relacionada casi siempre con la ironía y el humor, aparece frecuentemente como estrategia narrativa. El microrrelato es un género que reflexiona sobre sí mismo, sobre la literatura en general y la ficcionalidad del mundo. Aborda cuestiones tales como las clasificaciones genéricas, los procesos de creación y recepción y las limitaciones del lenguaje. Tiende a mostrar sus técnicas y mecanismos de composición a través de la propia narración, poniendo ante los ojos del lector los elementos que forman parte del proceso creativo. Además, cuestiona los códigos tradicionales y la oposición entre realidad y ficción. La estrategia metanarrativa busca un lector que sea capaz de contribuir al relato, que comparta las reflexiones del narrador y que desentrañe la pluralidad significativa del texto.
Un “sueño agorero”: estudio y edición de un borrador inédito de Miguel de Unamuno
Authors: Martínez Deyros María
Published: March 2021

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal el estudio y edición de un borrador inédito de Miguel de Unamuno. En dicho manuscrito se conserva una narración breve hasta ahora desconocida, la cual, tanto por sus características formales como de contenido, se podría considerar como antecedente del actual “microrrelato”. A través de la metodología de la crítica genética analizaremos este antetexto inédito con la intención de no desvirtuar su sentido y ofrecerlo al lector tal y como su autor lo dejó: en un estado inacabado, fragmentario y provisional. A lo largo de este trabajo demostraremos cómo la composición de esta narración breve habría que inscribirla en un periodo de experimentación artística, en la que Unamuno practicó de forma contemporánea el poema en prosa, el cuento poético, el fragmento y el verso libre; manifestaciones literarias herederas del Romanticismo, que adquieren su máximo estatuto en época modernista y que la crítica posterior ha englobado bajo el rótulo de “estética de la brevedad”.
Micro Photo-Fictions contemporaines: Minifictions et Photoromans
Authors: Bricco Elisa
Published: March 2021

Le micro phototexte est le sujet de cet article. Après une mise au point théorique sur les spécificités de la micro narration, on propose l'analyse de deux recueils de cette forme narrative, Photoromans de Patrick Devresse et Lucien Suel (2008), et Mini-fictions de Patrick Devresse et Christian Garcin (2015). On pose l'attention sur les stratégies narratives et les enjeux des dispositifs et sur les relations diverses qui se mettent en place entre les textes et les images. Ces interconnections démontrent les potentialités des phototextes minimals où les images concourent à construire la signification avec le texte bref qui n'arriverait pas à la former complètement. Cette forme de création intermédiale est redevable de la publication en ligne sur Internet et s'adapte parfaitement aux lois de la lecture sur l'écran.
La representación de Nueva York en las minificciones de "Diario de un poeta recién casado" de Juan Ramón Jiménez
Authors: S. García Noelia
Published: March 2021

Hay ciudades que por su fisonomía urbana inciden de manera contundente en el poeta que se pierde en sus calles. Al igual que Brujas o Venecia representan la ciudad muerta, Nueva York se convierte a principios de siglo en la ciudad moderna por excelencia. En 1916, Juan Ramón Jiménez viaja a Nueva York para contraer matrimonio con Zenobia Campubrí. El vertiginoso y caótico ritmo de vida, la rapidez con la que un ciudadano debe recorrer distancias inmensas, las calles llenas de anuncios luminosos y la desigualdad social y racial chocan con la vida que él estaba acostumbrado a llevar en Moguer. La irrupción del moderno espacio urbano en la vida de Juan Ramón obliga al poeta a desarrollar una poética literaria que le permita representar las sensaciones que experimenta y que reflejará mediante la minificción en Diario de un poeta recién casado. En las páginas siguientes, se llevará a cabo un análisis de las minificciones que componen el Diario, las correspondientes a las partes III y VI (“América del Este” y “Recuerdos de América del Este escritos en España”), concretamente en lo relativo a la hibridación genérica en el ámbito de la minificción como forma de representar el caos neoyorquino.
Get Shorter: el crimen en el microrrelato
Authors: Pugliese Cristiana
Published: March 2021

¿Qué ocurre a la literatura policiaca cuando tiene menos de 500 palabras? A pesar de que la crítica lleva ya décadas estudiando el género del microrrelato, las minificciones policiacas aún no han despertado el interés que merecen. El presente artículo expone algunas ideas desde un enfoque comparativo , analizando algunos ejemplos seleccionados de microrrelatos policiacos pertenecientes a épocas distintas, en inglés, francés y español, detectando por un lado los rasgos que tienen en común y por el otro las diferencias con respecto a la ficción de crimen más extensa.
Isidoro Blaisten y los deslizamientos simbólicos: entre la imagen y el relato realista
Authors: Román Gabriela Isabel
Published: March 2021

El escritor argentino Isidoro Blaisten (1933-2004)  retrata, desde una versión paródica pero sutil, al hombre inmerso en el mundo social, en los conflictos de la búsqueda del humanismo proletario, en la supervivencia del capitalismo que lleva al individuo a la alienación cultural, política, económica. Este artículo revisa este posicionamiento frente al arte que distingue al autor bajo el adjetivo de “realista” e indaga, además, las lecturas de aquellos grafistas que en las tapas y portadas de las secciones que conforman su libro de minificción El mago en las ediciones de 1974 y 1991 aportaron a los sentidos de su narrativa.
De lo visual a lo minitextual los exvotos pictóricos en México: propuesta de un nuevo subgénero de la minificción
Authors: Pertusa Inmaculada
Published: March 2021

La tradición del exvoto pictórico de México nos ofrece la posibilidad de encontrar artistas plásticos populares y profesionales dedicados a plasmar la realidad cotidiana de la gente de México en su conexión con las fuerzas espirituales que les guían a través del día a día. Estas representaciones visuales de las vivencias de la gente, se acompañan con breves descripciones escritas de la situación por la que se dan las gracias a la divinidad elogiada. Considerando estos textos como de microrrelatos que se apoyan en la representación visual del evento, proponemos un nuevo subgénero de la minificción en México: los textvotos.
Centellas de conceptos: los emblemas como minificción
Authors: Brito Díaz Carlos
Published: March 2021

En nuestro artículo analizamos la narratividad de la imagen en el género renacentista y barroco de la literatura emblemática mediante el principio de condensación significativa como axioma de la brevedad, resultante de la vinculación entre el icono y el texto. La naturaleza sentenciosa del lema, la concepción metafórica del grabado y la expansión literaria de la suscriptio apuntan a una forma pictográfica que resucita el espíritu de los jeroglíficos egipcios, la simbología de las divisas medievales, el repertorio iconográfico y literario de bestiarios y herbarios y un juego conceptual que debe ser desentrañado como pasatiempo, enseñanza o aviso en el contexto de un dominio microficcional.
La microficción histórica interactiva y la ruptura de la memoria estética en el videojuego
Authors: Venegas Ramos Alberto
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal demostrar la existencia de microficciones históricas en el videojuego capaces de romper la memoria estética del medio, y como objetivo secundario: analizar el por qué estas microficciones pueden romper la memoria estética examinado las causas culturales, sociales y económicas que subyacen a este hecho. Para conseguir una respuesta satisfactoria a estas cuestiones observaremos detenidamente tres microficciones: Temporality (James Earl Cox III, 2014), Venti Messi (We Are Muesli, 2015) y Slava and the Wolf (Lily Ounekeo, 2016) ambientados todos ellas en eventos históricos muy representados en el videojuego: la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El estudio concreto de cada uno de estos títulos se complementará con un análisis comparativo entre las microficciones elegidas y Battlefield 1 (DICE, 2016), Call of Duty: WWII (Sledgehammer Games, 2017) y Battlefield V (DICE, 2018), grandes producciones ambientadas en los mismos conflictos. Además de éstos emplearemos cuantos títulos nos sean necesarios para ofrecer el contexto necesario. Este ejercicio de observación se integra dentro de un marco teórico en el que sobresalen los trabajos de Gilles Lipovetsky sobre la cultura artística de masas, de Enzo Traverso sobre la memoria y los realizados por Chris Kempshall y Debra Ramsay sobre la representación de ambas guerras en los medios de masas, todo ello junto a nuestros anteriores trabajos sobre el videojuego histórico.
“El héroe” de cine en Julio Torri
Authors: Cuesta Gómez Eliezer
Published: March 2021

Atendiendo a una alusión de un cineasta, en apariencia, insignificante, de un relato del escritor mexicano Julio Torri, “El héroe”, me propongo a discurrir entorno a los alcances narrativos, y figurales, que involucran la textualidad y la extratextualidad en un universo ficcional cuyo sello genérico va más allá de lo fantástico.
La alusión se presenta como el vínculo entre dos mundos: el del cine y el de la literatura. La cual se encuentra adscrita, no sólo en la semántica de ambos, sino a la problemática referencial de la realidad y la ficción en la creación literaria del escritor mexicano. Ciertamente “El héroe” presenta elementos palpables que ocasión la articulación anacrónica de un relato de la antigüedad clásica (el mito de san Jorge y el Dragón) con la contemporaneidad del autor  (la primera mitad del siglo XX), lo cual resulta determinante para el carácter de pastiche que el texto posee.
En este trabajo examino de cerca la forma en que el entrecruzamiento de ambos mundos ocurre a nivel narrativo, su articulación, así como el contagio retórico, y principalmente metafórico, que se configura en el texto a partir de su brevedad.
Ajuar funerario, el cómic: una adaptación intramedial e intermedial entre difuntos, infantes y monstruos
Authors: Mateos Blanco Belén
Published: March 2021

Ajuar funerario, publicado en 2004 por el peruano Fernando Iwasaki, constituye una de las obras canónicas de la minificción contemporánea. Esta colección de microrrelatos fantásticos insertados en la literatura de terror posee reescrituras de diversa índole a las que se suma en 2018 su adaptación al cómic. Las dieciocho micronarrativas que forman el volumen, seleccionadas por Imanol Ortiz López e ilustradas por Beñat Olea., son el resultado de un proceso de adaptación en el que las transformaciones formales operan en dos niveles, intramedial e intermedial. 
El primero, anclado al hipotexto, advierte alteraciones intrínsecas (usos y modos del lenguaje) y extrínsecas (configuración, formato y extensión). Por el contrario, el segundo, centrado en los microcómics que integran las series Difuntos, infantes y monstruos, son el resultado de una metamorfosis intermedial. En este sentido, la implementación de un nuevo código enriquecerá la interacción entre ambos ejes gracias el concepto de narrativa aumentada.
Assessment of a Potential Synergistic Effect of Souvenaid® in Mild Alzheimer’s Disease Patients on Treatment with Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors: An Observational, Non-Interventional Study
Authors: Viñuela Félix , Barro Angeles
Published: March 2021

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of Souvenaid (a multinutrient supplement) in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in real clinical practice and assessed a potential synergistic effect of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale was evaluated after six months follow-up. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the treatment they received: Souvenaid + AChE inhibitors (n = 23); only Souvenaid (n = 8); only AChE inhibitors (n = 7); no treatment (n = 16). The Souvenaid + AChE inhibitors and Souvenaid alone groups were associated with significantly lower increases in CDR per month than the AChE inhibitors or no treatment ones. The efficacy of Souvenaid + AChE inhibitors tended to be higher than Souvenaid alone.
Home sweet home: Quantifying home court advantages for NCAA basketball statistics
Authors: van Bommel Matthew , Bornn Luke , Chow-White Peter , Gao Chuancong
Published: March 2021

Box score statistics are the baseline measures of performance for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball. Between the 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 seasons, NCAA teams performed better at home compared to on the road in nearly all box score statistics across both genders and all three divisions. Using box score data from over 100,000 games spanning the three divisions for both women and men, we examine the factors underlying this discrepancy. The prevalence of neutral location games in the NCAA provides an additional angle through which to examine the gaps in box score statistic performance, which we believe has been underutilized in existing literature. We also estimate a regression model to quantify the home court advantages for box score statistics after controlling for other factors such as number of possessions, and team strength. Additionally, we examine the biases of scorekeepers and referees. We present evidence that scorekeepers tend to have greater home team biases when observing men compared to women, higher divisions compared to lower divisions, and stronger teams compared to weaker teams. Finally, we present statistically significant results indicating referee decisions are impacted by attendance, with larger crowds resulting in greater bias in favor of the home team.
Electrical stimulation of referred sensation area alleviates phantom limb pain
Authors: Osumi Michihiro , Shimizu Daisuke , Nishi Yuki , Morioka Shu
Published: March 2021

Background:

Patients with brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) usually experience phantom sensations and phantom limb pain (PLP) in the deafferented limb. It has been suggested that evoking the sensation of touch in the deafferented limb by stimulating referred sensation areas (RSAs) on the cheek or shoulder might alleviate PLP. However, feasible rehabilitation techniques using this approach have not been reported.

Objective:

The present study sought to examine the analgesic effects of simple electrical stimulation of RSAs in BPA patients with PLP.

Methods:

Study 1: Electrical stimulation of RSAs for 60 minutes was conducted for six BPA patients suffering from PLP to examine short-term analgesic effects. Study 2: A single case design experiment was conducted with two BPA patients to investigate whether electrical stimulation of RSAs was more effective for alleviating PLP than control electrical stimulation (electrical stimulation of sites on side opposite to the RSAs), and to elucidate the long-term effects of electrical stimulation of RSAs.

Results:

Study 1: Electrical stimulation of RSAs evoked phantom touch sensations in the deafferented limb, and significantly alleviated PLP ( p < 0.05). Study 2: PLP was alleviated more after electrical stimulation on RSAs compared with control electrical stimulation ( p < 0.05). However, the analgesic effects of electrical stimulation on RSAs were observed only in the short term, not in the long term ( p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

Electrical stimulation of RSAs not only evoked phantom touch sensation but also alleviated PLP in the short term. The results indicate that electrical stimulation of RSAs may provide a useful practical rehabilitation technique for PLP. Future studies will be required to clarify the mechanisms underlying immediate PLP alleviation via electrical stimulation of RSAs.

The present study investigates market-wide herding of stock market, industry indices of Pakistan, China and USA, A-cross border herding of Pakistan stock market with Chinese stock market and USA stock market. With Cross-Sectional-Absolute-Deviation, to check whether geographical distance matters to influence the stock markets or not and USA is its major influential, cannot be ignored. Market-wide herding in Pakistan is found only during 2004 and 2008 and A-cross border herding for Pakistan is only found from the USA which support asset pricing model and market efficiency. Pakistan market do not herd around China, this negates geographical distance matters, and influence in determining investor behaviour in stock markets. It is revealed, Pakistan stock market does not observe as much herding behaviour in stock investment as other markets (USA and China), so it can be said that Pakistan stock exchange index which is representative of Pakistan Stock market is efficiently operating in contest of Herding.

Emotions are things that cannot be measured from human behavior, because every human being must have emotions, both negative emotions and emotions. At this time, many considerations are made when buying an item, one of which is the emotional factor. Consumer emotions have become unstable due to the plague that hit Indonesia, namely the Covid 19 outbreak. This pandemic has caused several activities to stop, one of which is the ban on crowding. Currently, purchases are mostly made online, as evidenced by the increasing number of online shopping application users. Even though the purchase is made online, satisfaction is still considered in order to maintain a good customer relationship. The study used a qualitative method of interviewing. By using this method, it is hoped that the research will be more focused and the results obtained are in accordance with the facts that occur. The results showed that consumer emotions were one of the supporting factors for online purchase satisfaction during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Egocentrism behavior is often seen and become something that is common in today's patterns of social relations. The culture of gotong royong is no longer used as a community tradition that is the wealth of the archipelago. This challenge is increasingly apparent because most of the younger generation seems to lack the awareness to preserve various traditions of the Indonesian community's gotong royong. Though gotong royong is a character as well as the national identity of the Indonesian nation that distinguishes it from other nations. Starting from this background, this study aims to find out how students' understanding of the mutual cooperation culture in the Pakpak ethnic community of North Sumatra.

¿Es posible realizar un grafitti en un bien de interés cultural? A propósito del caso PichiAvo
Authors: Ramón Fernández Francisca
Published: March 2021

La controversia respecto al grafiti y su consideración artística se puso de manifiesto en el caso de la intervención en el claustro gótico del Centro del Carmen, en Valencia, que realizó PichiAvo. La inclusión de un grafiti en un bien de interés cultural (BIC) despertó las suspicacias de si se amparaba en la legislación aplicable, y si era adecuada su ubicación, a pesar de realizarse en las paredes del claustro que se habían repintado en numerosas ocasiones, y además de ser de carácter efímero y reversible. El grafiti, como obra de la creación, genera derechos de autor, por ser una creación original, con independencia del soporte, y debe ser protegida como tal. La ausencia en la legislación del arte urbano, y el grafiti como una de sus expresiones, debe ser subsanada, por sus valores y reivindicaciones.

Employees who are placed in positions that are not in accordance with educational backgrounds will experience a high workload so that they will feel dissatisfied at work. This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction in terms of the workload of employees whose educational background is not appropriate for their work. Job satisfaction and workload variables are measured using a scale. The subjects of this study were 50 employees who work not according to educational background, with the determination of the sample based on accidental sampling. The analysis technique used in this research is quantitative analysis using Karl Pearson's product moment with the SPSS version 20 for Windows program. Based on the research results, it is known that job satisfaction has a negative relationship with the workload of employees with educational backgrounds that are not suitable for their work. There is a significant negative correlation (r-0.769 with sig <0.05) between the variable job satisfaction and the workload of employees whose educational background is not in accordance with their work, namely 0.000 and the significance value is below / smaller 0.05, this means that the lower the job satisfaction, then the higher the workload and vice versa, the higher the job satisfaction, the lower the workload. . Job satisfaction has the most low categories with a contribution of 56% and the workload at most has a high level category with a contribution of 58%.

Decellularization techniques support the creation of biocompatible extracellular matrix hydrogels, providing tissue-specific environments for both in vitro cell culture and in vivo tissue regeneration. We obtained endometrium derived from porcine decellularized uteri to create endometrial extracellular matrix (EndoECM) hydrogels. After decellularization and detergent removal, we investigated the physicochemical features of the EndoECM, including gelation kinetics, ultrastructure, and proteomic profile. The matrisome showed conservation of structural and tissue-specific components with low amounts of immunoreactive molecules. EndoECM supported in vitro culture of human endometrial cells in two- and three-dimensional conditions and improved proliferation of endometrial stem cells with respect to collagen and Matrigel. Further, we developed a three-dimensional endometrium-like co-culture system of epithelial and stromal cells from different origins. Endometrial co-cultures remained viable and showed significant remodeling. Finally, EndoECM was injected subcutaneously in immunocompetent mice in a preliminary study to test a possible hypoimmunogenic reaction. Biomimetic endometrial milieus offer new strategies in reproductive techniques and endometrial repair and our findings demonstrate that EndoECM has potential for in vitro endometrial culture and as treatment for endometrial pathologies.

It has been found that the quality of oocytes from obese women has been compromised and subsequent embryos displayed arrested development. The compromised quality may be either due to the poor or rich metabolic conditions such as imbalance or excession of lipids during oocyte development. Generally, lipids are mainly stored in the form of lipid droplets and are an important source of energy metabolism. Similarly, lipids are also essential signaling molecules involved in various biological cascades of oocyte maturation, growth and oocyte competence acquisition. To understand the role of lipids in controlling the oocyte development, we have comprehensively and concisely reviewed the literature and described the role of lipid metabolism in oocyte quality and maturation. Moreover, we have also presented a simplified model of fatty acid metabolism along with its implication on determining the oocyte quality and cryopreservation for fertilization.

Nanoscale materials have recently gained wide attention due to their potential to revolutionize many technologies and industrial sectors, including information technology, homeland security, transportation, energy, food safety, environmental science, catalysis, photonics and medicine. Among various nanoparticles, platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are widely used for biomedical applications, including imaging, implants, photothermal therapy and drug delivery. Indeed, PtNPs possesses intrinsic antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Also, due to their remarkable catalytic activity, they are able to reduce the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and impair the downstream pathways leading to inflammation. Various approaches, including both physical and chemical methods, are currently employed for synthesis of PtNPs. However, the use of hazardous reaction conditions and toxic chemicals in these processes poses a potential threat to the environment and severely compromise the biocompatibility of the nanoparticles. Hereby, increasing need for exploitation of novel routes for synthesis of PtNPs has led to development of biological fabrication using microbes, specifically bacteria. Herein, we present a most comprehensive report on biogenesis of PtNPs by several bacteria likeAcinetobacter calcoaceticus, Desulfovibrio alaskensis, Escherichia coli, Shewanella algae, Plectonema boryanum, etc. An overview of the underlying mechanisms of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic methods of synthesis is included. Moreover, this review highlights the scope of developing optimized process to control the physicochemical properties, such as the nanoparticle surface chemistry, charge, size and shape, which, in turn, may affect their nanotoxicity and response at the biointerface for nanomedicine applications.

Published: March 2021

Reentrant cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are common cardiac arrhythmias that account for substantial morbidity and mortality throughout the world. However, the mechanisms and optimal ablation treatment strategies for such arrhythmias are still unclear. Using 2D optical mapping of a mouse model with AF and VF, we have identified regional heterogeneity of the action potential duration (APD) in the atria and ventricles of the heart as key drivers for the initiation and persistence of reentry. The purpose of this paper is to discuss theoretical patterns of dispersion, demonstrate patterns of dispersion seen in our mouse model and discuss the computational analysis of APD dispersion patterns. These analyses and discussions may lead to better understanding of dispersion patterns in patients with these arrhythmias, as well as help comprehend whether and how reducing dispersion can lead to arrhythmia risk stratification and treatment strategies for arrhythmias.

The proliferation of grid-connected converter interfaced energy sources in Smart Grids, enhance sustainability and efficiency as well as minimizing power losses and costs. However, concerns arise regarding the stability and reliability of future smart grids due to this wide integration of power electronic devices, which are recognized to affect the dynamic response of the system, especially during disturbances. For instance, apart from the lower damping of existing electromechanical modes, new low-frequency oscillations begin to appear. Yet, the ability of grid-connected converters to provide grid support functionalities can alleviate the aforementioned challenges. Relevant studies show that these functionalities can be enhanced even further, if information regarding the oscillation characteristics are available. Traditional methods for extracting modal information are very well suited for monitoring purposes, however, they pose certain limitations when considered for control applications. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-band intelligent power oscillation damper (MiPOD) that exploits 1) the inherent characteristics of grid-connected converters to damp multiple power oscillations and 2) the modeling capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for predicting the frequency of electromechanical oscillations in the system, as operating conditions change. Essentially, the MiPOD integrates the AI model in the control loop of the converter to attenuate multiple modes of oscillation. The proposed controller is validated for different disturbances and randomly generated operating points in the two area system. Specifically, in this case the AI model is a Random Forest ensemble regressor that is developed for tracking two electromechanical modes. As it is shown, the MiPOD can improve the overall performance of the system under various contingency scenarios with only 6% of the corresponding total nominal capacity of synchronous generators. In addition, the monitoring and damping abilities of the MiPOD are demonstrated for a vast range of operating points just by tuning two parameters; the predicted oscillation frequencies of the local and inter-area mode.

Published: March 2021

The evolution of regenerative capacity in multicellular animals represents one of the most complex and intriguing problems in biology. How could such a seemingly advantageous trait as self-repair become consistently attenuated by the evolution? This review article examines the concept of the origin and nature of regeneration, its connection with the processes of embryonic development and asexual reproduction, as well as with the mechanisms of tissue homeostasis. The article presents a variety of classical and modern hypotheses explaining different trends in the evolution of regenerative capacity which is not always beneficial for the individual and notably for the species. Mechanistically, these trends are driven by the evolution of signaling pathways and progressive restriction of differentiation plasticity with concomitant advances in adaptive immunity. Examples of phylogenetically enhanced regenerative capacity are considered as well, with appropriate evolutionary reasoning for the enhancement and discussion of its molecular mechanisms.

Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder caused by various types of pathological defects in the factor VIII gene (F8/FVIII). Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disease (PGT-M) is a powerful tool to tackle the transmission of monogenic inherited disorders from generation to generation. In our case, a mutation in F8 had passed through female carriers in a hemophilia A family and resulted in two male patients with hemophilia A. To identify the etiological genetic variants of F8, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used for chromosome copy number variation detection, Sanger sequencing to verify mutation sites, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) for site amplification, and sequencing to validate the genetic linkage. Finally, a novel missense mutation, p. (Phe690Leu)/c.2070C > A, occurring in exon 13 of F8, was screened out as a pathogenic mutation. Following this, an F8 normal euploid blastocyst was transferred. At the 18th week, the pregnant mother underwent amniocentesis, NGS, Sanger sequencing, and SNP typing that further confirmed that the fetus had a healthy genotype. After delivery, a neonatal blood sample was sent for FVIII concentration detection, and the result established that the FVIII protein was rescued to a nearly average level. We first identified a new type of pathogenic mutation in F8, which has not been previously reported, selected a genetically healthy progeny for an affected family, and provided valuable knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of hemophilia A.
