Achieving Transparency Report Privacy in Linear Time
Authors: Chen Chien-Lun , Golubchik Leana , Pal Ranjan
Published: February 2022

An accountable
algorithmic transparency report (ATR)
should
ideally
investigate (a)
transparency
of the underlying algorithm, and (b)
fairness
of the algorithmic decisions, and at the same time preserve data subjects’
privacy
. However, a provably formal study of the impact to data subjects’ privacy caused by the utility of releasing an ATR (that investigates transparency and fairness), has yet to be addressed in the literature. The far-fetched benefit of such a study lies in the methodical characterization of privacy-utility trade-offs for release of ATRs in public, and their consequential application-specific impact on the dimensions of society, politics, and economics. In this paper, we first investigate and demonstrate potential privacy hazards brought on by the deployment of transparency and fairness measures in released ATRs.
To preserve data subjects’ privacy, we then propose a linear-time optimal-privacy scheme
, built upon standard
linear fractional programming (LFP)
theory, for announcing ATRs, subject to constraints controlling the tolerance of privacy perturbation on the utility of transparency schemes. Subsequently, we quantify the privacy-utility trade-offs induced by our scheme, and analyze the impact of privacy perturbation on fairness measures in ATRs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analytical work that simultaneously addresses trade-offs between the triad of privacy, utility, and fairness, applicable to algorithmic transparency reports.
Liver and Kidney Surgical Anatomy to Verify the Effect of miR-221 on Organ Damage in Septic Rats
Authors: Shi Bingtao , Zhang Jialing , Chen QiaoGe
Published: February 2022

Background. Related studies have shown that miR-221 has the ability to promote inflammatory response. This experiment mainly discusses the effect of miR-221 on acute liver and kidney injury in septic rats. Method. Thirty Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a (1) control group, (2) sepsis group, (3) miR-221 overexpression group, (4) miR-221 inhibition group, (5) HECTD2 inhibition group, and (6) miR-221 overexpression + HECTD2 inhibition group. The sepsis rat model was prepared by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The expression levels of miR-221 and HECTD2 were detected by RT-qPCR. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the liver were detected by the IFCC method. The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were detected by the creatine oxidase method. The levels of inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA. The apoptosis rate of liver and kidney cells was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of p65 protein was detected by western blotting. Result. RT-qPCR results showed that the expressions of miR-221 and HECTD2 were upregulated in septic rats (

P
<
0.05

). Compared with group 1, the liver function index, kidney function index, liver and kidney apoptosis rate, serum inflammatory factor level, and p65 protein expression in each group were increased (

P
<
0.05

). Compared with group 2, the liver function index, kidney function index, liver and kidney apoptosis rate, serum inflammatory factor level, and p65 protein expression in groups 4 and 5 were decreased (

P
<
0.05

). Compared with group 2, the expression of HECTD2 was upregulated in group 3 (

P
<
0.05

). Compared with group 3, the liver function index, renal function index, liver and kidney apoptosis rate, serum inflammatory factor level, and p65 protein expression were decreased in group 6 (

P
<
0.05

). Conclusion. MiR-221 promotes the expression of HECTD2 in septic rats, and inhibition of miR-221 expression can reduce the degree of liver and kidney injury in septic rats.
SVM-Based Real-Time Identification Model of Dangerous Traffic Stream State
Authors: Huang Ming
Published: February 2022

By comparing and studying the correlation between traffic stream parameters and traffic safety of different highways, the correlations of traffic natural quantity, traffic equivalent, passenger-cargo ratio, car following percentage, congestion degree, and time occupancy rate are obtained. The traffic stream state before the actual accident is used as the criterion to judge the bad traffic stream state. The main parameters are obtained by extracting the parameters from the traffic stream data at the lane level and reducing the dimension of the parameters with the principal component analysis method. Establish a SVM model for RT early warning of traffic stream safety. Compared with other methods, the adaptive parameter selection method can adaptively select parameters according to the training sample set, realize the adaptive ability of the forecast model, and effectively improve the forecast accuracy of traffic stream. This paper studies the risk early warning model of road traffic accidents, which can transform the problem of road traffic safety into active early warning and improve the level of traffic safety. This study provides safety management measures for highway operation departments, which has certain theoretical significance and practical application value.

Unicystic Ameloblastoma Mimicking Lateral Periodontal Cyst
Authors: Fedhila Maya , Belkacem Chebil Raouaa , Karray Sonia , Sriha Badreddine , Oualha Lamia , Douki Nabiha
Published: February 2022

Intraosseous unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a rare subtype of a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin: ameloblastoma. Despite its rareness, dealing with UA is problematic. It is usually mistaken for an odontogenic cyst, and biopsy is rarely relevant because of its multiple growth patterns. The biggest challenge remains the treatment choice. When we are faced with a mural UA presenting strong similarities with a lateral periodontal cyst and having high rates of recurrence, how is the balance found between the young age, psychological fragility, postoperative process, and need for diagnostic biopsy? That was our dilemma. Our patient is a 23-year-old man with a mural unicystic ameloblastoma, diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. The final decision was to turn to a simple enucleation because of the small size of the lesion, and its radiological features strongly evoked a lateral periodontal cyst. Besides, his young age, psychological condition, and UA’s proximity to the surrounding soft tissues guided us toward simple enucleation. Two years later, no sign of radiological recurrence was noted. However, we are aware of a later possibility of resection in case of recurrence.
Prevalence and Socioeconomic Impact of Striga (Striga hermonthica) in Sorghum Producing Areas of East and West Hararghe Zones, Oromia, Ethiopia
Authors: Degebasa Lemma , Tessema Taye , Bekeko Zelalem , Belete Ketema
Published: February 2022

Striga is one of the biotic constraints limiting the production and productivity of sorghum in tropical Africa, particularly in Ethiopia. A field survey was conducted in the eastern and western Hararghe zones in six districts in the 2019 cropping season to investigate the prevalence and socioeconomic impact of the weed. Random sampling was employed to collect the field and socioeconomic data. Data were collected on Striga counts per meter square and per plant, awareness and impression of farmers, prevalence, management used, severity, and collective actions to manage Striga. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. The results showed that two Striga species, Striga hermonthica and Striga asiatica, were observed. However, S. hermonthica was more prevalent than S. asiatica in all the surveyed locations, and its occurrence differed among locations. The maximum levels of S. hermonthica occurrence were recorded at Kile-besidimo (92%), Edobaso (85%), Kufakas (82%), Kotora (80%), Homacho Riana (78%), Bal’ina arba (74%), Dire gudina (72%), Bishan babile (66%), Qufa (65%), Oda Anesso (48%), Ijakechu (45%), Umer kulle (40%), Homacho Eba (38%), and Tofik (35%). Less level of Striga occurrence was recorded at Bareda (29%), Haro Adii (27%), Jiru gemachu (25%), and Homacho dayo (23%) Striga per meter square in assessed fields. S. hermonthica resulted in an estimated yield reduction of 0 to 80% in the surveyed areas. This causes higher economic loss and incurs social instability in the region. According to the farmers, hand weeding, legume intercropping, crop rotation, and resistance varieties were the most popular control measures to reduce Striga infestations. From this survey, it can be concluded that S. hermonthica is easily disseminated by different dispersal mechanisms and the major constraint of sorghum production in both zones. Therefore, it can be recommended that integrated management options be employed to reduce Striga infestation and the socioeconomic impact of Striga in the future.

Polydatin: A Critical Promising Natural Agent for Liver Protection via Antioxidative Stress
Authors: Tang Dandan , Zhang Qing , Duan Huxinyue , Ye Xun , Liu Jia , Peng Wei , Wu Chunjie
Published: February 2022

Polydatin, one of the natural active small molecules, was commonly applied in protecting and treating liver disorders in preclinical studies. Oxidative stress plays vital roles in liver injury caused by various factors, such as alcohol, viral infections, dietary components, drugs, and other chemical reagents. It is reported that oxidative stress might be one of the main reasons in the progressive development of alcohol liver diseases (ALDs), nonalcoholic liver diseases (NAFLDs), liver injury, fibrosis, hepatic failure (HF), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this paper, we comprehensively summarized the pharmacological effects and potential molecular mechanisms of polydatin for protecting and treating liver disorders via regulation of oxidative stress. According to the previous studies, polydatin is a versatile natural compound and exerts significantly protective and curative effects on oxidative stress-associated liver diseases via various molecular mechanisms, including amelioration of liver function and insulin resistance, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines, lipid accumulation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy, regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), as well as increase of antioxidant enzymes (such as catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)). In addition, polydatin acts as a free radical scavenger against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by its phenolic and ethylenic bond structure. However, further clinical investigations are still needed to explore the comprehensive molecular mechanisms and confirm the clinical treatment effect of polydatin in liver diseases related to regulation of oxidative stress.
Factors influencing males’ loyalty toward functional foods during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Sumaedi Sik , Sumardjo Sumardjo , Saleh Amiruddin , Syukri Agus Fanar
Published: February 2022

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a serious issue nowadays. Several studies showed that male was more vulnerable to COVID-19 than female. Functional food consumption can be used to overcome COVID-19 since it boosts someone’s immune system and reduces the risk of contracting non-communicable diseases simultaneously. It is important to improve males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is lack of research on males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this, this research aims to test the effect of perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived benefit of functional food related to COVID-19, e-health literacy, digital health communication media usage, attitude toward functional food, functional food accessibility, and social influences-injunctive norm and descriptive norm–on males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study collected data through a survey. It involved 204 male respondents in Banten, Indonesia. This research found that males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic was significantly and positively affected by attitude toward functional food, injunctive norm, food accessibility and digital health communication usage. However, males’ functional food loyalty was not significantly affected by the perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived benefit of functional food related to COVID-19, descriptive norm and e-health literacy.

EM VIAS DE EXISTIR: UMA LEITURA DE LE CORPS LESBIEN, DE MONIQUE WITTIG
Authors: DeLuca Naná
Published: February 2022

O presente texto propõe uma investigação do livro Le corps lesbien, de Monique Wittig, de maneira a colocar em diálogo as noções do teórico Édouard Glissant, a fortuna crítica de Monique Wittig e os próprios textos teóricos e críticos da autora. Tais pontes foram construídas a partir da potencialidade percebida entre o pensamento glissantiano e os Estudos de Gênero, como também da releitura de Le corps lesbien a partir de uma perspectiva que extrapola as disciplinas feministas. Para tal, partiu-se dos conceitos de Opacidade, Relação, Identidade e Poética, da maneira como foram formulados por Glissant, colocando-os de encontro com as ideias de Wittig, literariamente exploradas no livro em questão.
LA FONCTION DE L'ESCAPISME DANS ALLAH N'EST PAS OBLIGE D'AHMADOU KOUROUMA
Authors: Tossa Messan
Published: February 2022

RésuméLa figure de l’enfant soldat s’est progressivement établie dans la fiction romanesque africaine centrée sur le récit de la guerre. Du point de vue de l’esthétique de la réception, mais aussi de l’actualité des guerres dans le Tiers-Monde,le motif de l’enfant soldat fait autorité et trouve une audience confortable auprès des lecteurs.Mais,la mise en scène des enfantsdans les récits d’une violence extrême impose des techniques narratives qui tendent à occulter ou du moins à restreindre la cruauté des images présentées au lecteur. Une des stratégies courantes est la fuite de la réalité qui dispense les jeunes protagonistes de décrire les cruautés qu’ils ont commises. L’occlusion des épisodes les plus crus de la narration vise à dépouiller la fiction de la guerre des expériences trop ruineuses pour la psychologie des protagonistes.La présente contribution analyse les segments esthétiquesde cet escapisme dans le roman Allah n’est pas obligé d’Ahmadou Kourouma.

'POLIPHILUS' X 'POLIPHILE', OU O SONHO FRANCÊS DE ABSORÇÃO DO HUMANISMO ITALIANO
Authors: De Bruchard Dorothée
Published: February 2022

Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, publicado em Veneza, 1499, por Aldo Manúcio, permanece uma obra emblemática na história do livro ocidental. Introduzido na França em 1596, o entusiasmo com que ali foi recebido contribuiu em larga medida para a vasta fortuna literária desta obra de Francesco Colonna. Um paralelo entre a edição aldina original e sua versão francesa permite ilustrar a estreita relação existente entre tradução e edição, essas duas formas de reescrita (Lefevere 2007) indispensáveis na transmissão e circulação dos textos. Permite observar, além disso, como se expressa no Songe de Poliphile, por esses mediadores indissociáveis na translação das obras (Berman, 1995), a absorção do humanismo italiano por parte da França renascentista.

NAS ENTRELINHAS DO CORPO: A ELABORAÇÃO DA AIDS EM À L’AMI QUI NE M’A PAS SAUVÉ LA VIE, DE HERVÉ GUIBERT, E “CARTAS PARA ALÉM DO MURO”, DE CAIO FERNANDO ABREU
Authors: Fernandes Guilherme
Published: February 2022

A partir de um estudo comparado dos textos À l’ami qui ne m’a pas sauvé la vie, de Hervé Guibert, e “Cartas para além do muro”, de Caio Fernando Abreu, este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a maneira segundo a qual esses autores elaboraram, através de seus textos literários, a experiência do corpo que passaram a vivenciaram quando da descoberta de que estavam com AIDS. Seus textos apontam para um movimento de elaboração estética do corpo, fazendo da escritura um instrumento fundamental para refletir sobre suas condições de soropositividade em um período (fim da década de 1980 e início da década de 1990) em que o conhecimento acerca da enfermidade era limitado, ao passo em que o preconceito em torno das formas de contágio e da vida sexual dos portadores do vírus HIV era ainda mais notório do que atualmente. Dessa forma, a base teórica deste estudo será pautada por autores que abordarem questões referentes ao corpo, poder, linguagem e identidade, como Michel Foucault, Susan Sontag e Judith Butler.
O JORNALÍSTICO E O SATÍRICO EM LIMA BARRETO E ANATOLE FRANCE
Authors: Almeida Milene Suzano de
Published: February 2022

Em estudo comparativo entre o escritor brasileiro Lima Barreto (1881-1922) e o francês Anatole France (1844-1924), foi possível observar, de maneira geral, um trajeto semelhante no conjunto das duas obras, ancorado numa visão de mundo essencialmente humanista. Nesta busca, foram tratados, entre outros aspectos, da configuração de uma escrita colada aos acontecimentos políticos, sociais e culturais da Belle Époque, a partir da análise dos romances Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha, de 1909, La Rôtisserie de la Reine Pédauque e Les Opinions de M. Jérôme Coignard, de 1893. A questão central que permanece desta escrita que parece correr paralelamente aos acontecimentos reais passa a ser a mesma que France chegou à conclusão numa entrevista em 1903: “a atualidade retira aos seus olhos o interesse na literatura e na arte contemporânea”[1] (Bancquart, 1991, p. XIX).[1] ...l’actualité éclipse à ses yeux l’intérêt de la littérature et de l’art contemporains.
Élémir Bourges e o cânone decadentista e simbolista na literatura francesa
Authors: Barbosa Sidney , Ribeiro Rosária Cristina Costa
Published: February 2022

O artigo intenta fazer uma reflexão sobre as condições instáveis e frouxas com que se sustentam os cânones artísticos de várias modalidades, de lugares e épocas diferentes e de contextos políticos, culturais, históricos e estéticos distintos. Apregoa que essa instabilidade é devida mais a essas situações externas às obras do que às suas realidades internas. Por fim, após refletir sobre as características gerais do Simbolismo francês, apresenta o caso do escritor Élémir Bourges, autor que apresenta recentemente sinais de inserção no cânone simbolista-decadentista francês. Este fato é devido, talvez, à complexidade de sua obra que vai desde o gênero romance histórico, típico da prosa romântica, como ocorre, por exemplo, no seu romance Sous La Hache, até seu drama mítico, materializado em La Nef, passando pelo romance Le Crépuscule des dieux. Deste modo, pode-se afirmar que se Bourges caiu nas graças da crítica sua contemporânea, no entanto falhou em atingir o público.

De la scène à la flore, un imaginaire foncier - “L’Intelligence des fleurs” de Maurice Maeterlinck
Authors: Quaghebeur Marc
Published: February 2022

On considère souvent comme un à côté la production de Maurice Maeterlinck consacrée aux faits naturels. La cohérence des livres de ce cycle, à l’intérieur de l’ensemble de l’œuvre, mérite pourtant un regard attentif. Publié au mitan de la vie du futur Prix Nobel, L’Intelligence des fleurs (1907) s’avère ainsi bien davantage qu’une pure description botanique. Ce qui en fait la singularité, c’est le tressage d’une telle description naturelle avec les hantises de l’imaginaire maeterlinckien, qui sont en outre celles de l’idéalisme Fin de siècle. Cette étude fait surgir de nombreux exemples de descriptions qu’on croirait tirées des drames de l’auteur de Pelléas.
A inaplicabilidade da Teoria do Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional ao sistema de saúde brasileiro
Authors: Andréa Gianfranco Faggin Mastro , Patullo Marcos Paulo Falcone
Published: February 2022

A Teoria do Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional tem cada vez mais encontrado ressonância na doutrina constitucionalista brasileira, notadamente após sua utilização em julgado recente do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Parte da doutrina nacional defende que o sistema de saúde brasileiro é um exemplo de “estado de coisas inconstitucional” e que, por conseguinte, seria legítimo defender que o Supremo Tribunal Federal intervenha na política pública de saúde para interromper a violação massiva de direitos fundamentais. Valendo-se da metodologia de revisão bibliográfica e hipotético-dedutiva, o presente artigo teve como objetivo responder ao seguinte questionamento: a Teoria do Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional aplica-se ao sistema de saúde brasileiro? Para tal, tanto o conceito quanto os pressupostos do estado de coisas inconstitucional foram definidos. Entendeu-se que o sistema de saúde brasileiro não se enquadra nos pressupostos dessa teoria e, como conclusão, fez-se um alerta para a necessidade de cuidadosa e rigorosa incorporação dessa teoria em nossa tradição jurídica, a fim de que seu uso não seja banalizado.

Pataxó frente ao naturalista Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied
Authors: Cardoso Thiago Mota , Pataxó Kaiones Santos , Pataxó Raoni Bras , Pataxó Maria das Neves
Published: February 2022

O presente artigo busca descrever este processo de retomada da cultura através da relação que os Pataxó construíram com as linhas do texto de viagem e artefatos obtidos pelo naturalista Maximilian Zu Wied-Neuwied, em especial pelo contato com o livro Viagem ao Brasil e com a sua coleção de artefatos em acervos de museus etnográficos. Argumentamos que enquanto Wied, em 1816, buscou descrever os Pataxó e os outros povos indígenas como naturais, selvagens, em contraposição aos civilizados, num contexto de construção do outro colonizado e inferior na escala evolutiva; os Pataxó, 200 anos depois foram ao encontro de Wied para “retomar sua cultura”, para afirmar, por meio dos escritos e desenhos do naturalista e de peças de museus sua condição de povos contemporâneos e diferenciados: um ato desnaturalizador e, portanto, descolonizador.
Presente etnográfico e “presente museográfico”
Authors: Toledo Luiz Henrique
Published: February 2022

Este artigo articula sugestões de método, formuladas a partir do acúmulo de experiências etnográficas há décadas no âmbito das práticas torcedoras, com os trabalhos mais recentes de Daniela do Amaral Alfonsi, diretora técnica do Museu do Futebol, que defendeu tese de doutorado no Programa de Pós-graduação em Antropologia Social da USP, ocasião na qual participei como um dos avaliadores. Da noção de pessoa antropológica em contexto urbano, discutida na primeira parte do artigo, extraio a noção de "memória outra". Na segunda parte estabeleço interlocução com a tese a partir da arguição que foi escrita para a ocasião da defesa. Entre outras coisas, Alfonsi aborda o lugar do Museu do Futebol no contexto de experiências museológicas que tematizam esportes e da minha parte estabeleço um diálogo com sua pesquisa e em parte com a condição profissional vivenciada “de perto e de dentro” pela antropóloga museóloga. A discussão sobre o Museu do Futebol no cenário da museologia se oferece criticamente em relação à concepção de que museus seriam centros indutores de memória na invenção daquilo que adapto aqui por “presente museográfico”, em franca analogia às implicações inquietantes contidas na expressão “presente etnográfico”. Museu sem acervo permanente, portanto desprovido de uma “coleção”, de relíquias ou memorabilia, essa instituição e a prática museológica ali implementada colocam várias questões pertinentes tanto para antropólogos quanto para aqueles que pensam o papel político que uma instituição desse caráter desempenha na contemporaneidade. Museologia aparecerá menos como um campo de saber autônomo, pois pretendo com esse exercício de reescrita da arguição (“etnografia parcial” do ritual de defesa) discutir jogos de classificação presentes tanto no estatuto epistemológico fundante do pensamento antropológico quanto na atuação política de museólogos. Assim, espero por fim alcançar a discussão sobre os desafios de levar torcedores ao museu como parte das metaforizações que definem o lugar do futebol na Cultura, bem como discutir tal fruição como objeto antropológico, e por último problematizar a produção da pessoa de museólogo e antropólogo implicados em questões de memória e identidades ao trabalharem temas menos ambientados na museologia.

A partir dos fragmentos de trajetórias de vida de duas mulheres, Penélope e Dorinha, residentes de um abrigo espírita para idosos em Minas Gerais, iremos discutir a centralidade que os temas do amor e do o desejo adquirem em suas narrativas. Para tal, elas passam a escrutinar relações amorosas de seus passados, a fim de desenharem um cenário de amor ideal para um futuro distante. É pela crença em uma vida após a morte, assim como o uma ética cristã na concepção dos papeis de gêneros, que essas mulheres de 72 e 74 anos, respectivamente, trazem para o presente a atmosfera de um futuro feliz, de suas próximas vidas, onde serão verdadeiramente amadas. A maneira como dispõem de suas relações amorosas futuras é tensionada o tempo todo pela realidade em que estão inseridas e a qual julgam ser profundamente negativa: corpos envelhecidos que percebem não ser objeto de desejo de outrem. Assim, estariam fadadas à uma solidão sexual/afetiva.

Neste artigo dedico-me a analisar um aspecto ambíguo no tratamento-compulsório oferecido em um Hospital de Custódia e Tratamento Psiquiátrico (HCTP): a implicação da lei com o desejo. Para compreender como o maquinário terapêutico-legal da medida de segurança cria e trabalha os vínculos dos pacientes com o seu tratamento, eu descrevi, na primeira parte do artigo, o modo como os desejos dos internos são “traduzidos” juridicamente. Na segunda parte delineei como a equipe de assistência legal e a de assistência clínica contornam as resistências e as dificuldades encontradas pelos internos em aderir ao tratamento extramuros para, assim, serem desinternados. Entremeando uma parte com a outra expus os obstáculos e a criatividade de que se valem os profissionais envolvidos no atendimento com os pacientes para garantir o andamento dos processos penais dos presos, assim como da própria reunião em que estavam.

O presente relato tem por objetivo contribuir com as discussões acerca do impacto da covid-19 em Cabo Verde, país-arquipélago africano. Sendo os fluxos constituidores dessa jovem nação, parto do boom do turismo no país para analisar as quebras de expectativas e mudanças ocasionadas pela pandemia do coronavírus, uma vez que este passou a representar 20% do PIB nacional ao longo da última década. Em consequência disso, abordo a situação de um grupo específico (as mulheres que anteriormente trabalhavam com a produção e venda de artesanatos para turistas) para explorar, do ponto de vista da vida prática, as mudanças provocadas pela pandemia nas suas vidas.
A sudden creatinine increase: A case report
Authors: Strasser Bernhard , Strasser Sebastian , Tomasits Josef
Published: February 2022

Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are first-line laboratory parameters in the diagnosis of various renal diseases. In recent decades, cystatin C (cysC) has furthered the laboratory repertoire regarding renal status assessment and has been implemented in many clinical guidelines. Accordingly, with the establishment of cysC as a renal routine biomarker, further opportunities for assessing eGFR have been attained. Nevertheless, various limitations are still associated with cysC and creatinine analysis. Preanalytical errors could cause false results in both biomarkers. In our case, we were confronted with implausibly elevated creatinine levels due to preanalytical errors.
Out-of-Domain Discourse Dependency Parsing via Bootstrapping: An Empirical Analysis on Its Effectiveness and Limitation
Authors: Nishida Noriki , Matsumoto Yuji
Published: February 2022

Discourse parsing has been studied for decades. However, it still remains challenging to utilize discourse parsing for real-world applications because the parsing accuracy degrades significantly on out-of-domain text. In this paper, we report and discuss the effectiveness and limitations of bootstrapping methods for adapting modern BERT-based discourse dependency parsers to out-of-domain text without relying on additional human supervision. Specifically, we investigate self-training, co-training, tri-training, and asymmetric tri-training of graph-based and transition-based discourse dependency parsing models, as well as confidence measures and sample selection criteria in two adaptation scenarios: monologue adaptation between scientific disciplines and dialogue genre adaptation. We also release COVID-19 Discourse Dependency Treebank (COVID19-DTB), a new manually annotated resource for discourse dependency parsing of biomedical paper abstracts. The experimental results show that bootstrapping is significantly and consistently effective for unsupervised domain adaptation of discourse dependency parsing, but the low coverage of accurately predicted pseudo labels is a bottleneck for further improvement. We show that active learning can mitigate this limitation.

Vaccinium carmesinum is described as a new species of Ericaceae from Mt. Tago Range, Mindanao Island, Philippines. It is similar to V. platyphyllum Merrill and V. luzoniense S.Vidal but is distinct from the former by longer and wider leaves, longer racemes, longer bracts, glabrous corollas, and glabrescent fruits, and from the latter by longer petioles, leaf glands distributed along the blade margin, glabrous rachis, and lanate filaments. Vaccinium carmesinum bears the widest leaves among Philippine Vaccinium. Its discovery increases the number of Vaccinium species recognized in the Philippines to 37.
Teoretyczne i praktyczne kłopoty z tożsamością narodową

Theoretical and Practical Troubles with National IdentityNational identity is one of the basic and most stable forms of collective identity. For many people it is a core value because it fulfills three important needs of man: the need to belong (rootedness), the need of axiological orientation and the need of respect due to any member of a respected community such as a nation. Two troubles are connected with national identity in present times. First, a strong sense of national identity can lead to ethno-nationalism, xenophobia and conflicts among nations. On the other hand, we are living in an epoch of globalization and international integration, which – in the opinion of many authors – endangers national identity and in effect may cause its loss and replacement with a cosmopolitan identity. The author undermines such views. He believes that strong national identity does not necessarily cause aggressive nationalism and xenophobia. Moreover, he does not agree with the view that globalization processes and integration tendencies will soon change national identity into cosmopolitan identity.
Od przestrzeni do transmigracji. Tożsamość narodowa w zwierciadle kultury artystycznej na przykładzie twórczości kolektywu Neue Slowenische Kunst

From Space to Transmigration: National Identity in the Mirror of Artistic Culture on the Example of Collective Neue Slowenische Kunst Creativity“The end of geography” was postulated two decades ago by Richard O’Brien. This article tries to refer it to the Slovenes, the nation which has had its own state and its own geography only for two decades. The case study of the artist, the ideal transmigrant, as Marta Bucholc would say, gives us the possibility to understand the nature of the contemporary world in the best way. That is why the object of an analysis in this article is the collective Neue Slowenische Kunst, one of the most important cultural and social phenomena of the 1980s in Slovenia.This article presents very briefly the history of the state of Slovenia and the development of culture of this country, especially in the late 1980s and in the 1990s, when very important changes on the map occurred. As a consequence, NSK’s artists decided to detach their projects from space and situate them in time, but it was not a gesture of including themselves in the so-called “global trend”. On the contrary, it was a very serious proposition of the revision of their national and artistic, Slovenian and Eastern European, identity.Slavoj Žižek probably was right that this part of Europe requires a separate study, without automatically entering it into the framework of the ideology of globalization.
„Emirat Kaukaski” – wielki potencjał czy złudzenie siły?
Authors: Pawłowski Adam
Published: February 2022

The “Caucasian Emirate”: Great Potential or Illusion of Power?The article discusses current problems of many years of fighting in the North Caucasus between Islamic militants of the armed underground and the troops of the Russian Federation and its constituent republics of the Caucasus. The mujahideen, led by Dokka Umarov, strive to gain liberation from the domination of Moscow and create their own Koranic state called the “Caucasus Emirate”. In the text the author considers to what extend it is possible to separate the North Caucasus from Russia and turn the area into an independent state. For this purpose, the four elements that make up the state of potential “Emirate” were described: the structure, the number of members declared and supporters loosely associated with the organisation, as well as finance and weapons and the means of acquiring them. On the basis of the above elements, the author presents the armed Islamic underground of the Caucasus militants.
Telephone-based aftercare groups for family carers of people with dementia – results of the effect evaluation of a randomised controlled trial
Authors: Berwig Martin , Lessing Susanne , Deck Ruth
Published: February 2022

Background

The care of people with dementia is associated with enormous stress and, in a quarter of cases, leads to depression and anxiety disorders in the caring relatives. A specially designed inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation (rehab) programme for family carers of people with dementia has proven to be effective but not sustainable. Therefore, the present study aims to increase the sustainability of the inpatient rehab programme by using thematically structured telephone aftercare group sessions.

Methods

The effectiveness of telephone aftercare groups was investigated in a randomized, controlled, prospective, mixed methods, longitudinal study. The aftercare intervention included social participation in monthly telephone group sessions for 6 months. The primary outcome was increased social participation of family carers, which, like the secondary outcomes (such as quality of life and subjective health), was assessed in written surveys at three or four measurement points.

Results

Complete data from 69 participants from the intervention group and from 72 participants from the control group could be evaluated. A small-sized reduction in restrictions on social participation was observed in the intervention group, whereas the reduction in the control group was negligible. The repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed sustained effects on the secondary outcomes, such as depression, perceived social support, and the mental health domain of quality of life of family carers, in favour of the intervention group. The results also showed that telephone-based aftercare groups had a rather minor influence on the use of support services. Except for those from family, friends and neighbours, existing support offers were hardly used.

Conclusion

Telephone aftercare group sessions for carers of people with dementia were not able to increase social participation at the expected magnitude. Nevertheless, the clear effects on selected secondary health-related outcomes and the assessment of the telephone-based group sessions by the participants show that the caring relatives were able to benefit greatly from this aftercare measure. Family carers should be informed more extensively about the corresponding resources and encouraged to use them. Overall, this new aftercare concept can be recommended for implementation, and its use also seems to be target-oriented for other indications.

Impact of DPP-4 inhibitors on plasma levels of BNP and NT-pro-BNP in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Mu Liying , Wang Zhuo , Ren Jinmei , Xiong Xiaowei , Jin Zening , Liu Xin
Published: February 2022

Background

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) decrease glucose levels by regulating incretin peptides in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the modulatory effect of DPP-4i on brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in patients with T2DM.

Methods

PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the impact of DPP-4i on BNP or NT-pro-BNP. A fixed- or random-effects model was used for quantitative analysis, according to the heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed using standard methods.

Results

Nine trials with 3056 patients with T2DM were included. Meta-analysis revealed that DPP-4i did not significantly modulate the BNP (0.21 pg/mL, 95% CI − 2.36–2.79) or NT-pro-BNP level (− 7.34 pg/mL, 95% CI − 24.27–9.59). DPP-4i demonstrated no stronger effect on modulating BNP (5.17 pg/mL, 95% CI − 7.48–17.82) or NT-pro-BNP (− 9.95 pg/mL, 95% CI − 44.61–24.71) than active comparators. Pooled analysis was robust and stable after sensitivity analysis.

Conclusions

DPP-4i exhibits no significant effect on modulating BNP or NT-pro-BNP and shows no stronger effect than traditional antidiabetic agents in T2DM.
