Psychological resources of high school students’ academic performance with different individual regulatory profiles
Authors: Bondarenko I. N. , Tsyganov I. Yu. , Makushina L. N.
Published: October 2020

The study aims to explore the differential-regulatory predictors of academic performance in the graduating classes of high school. Conscious self-regulation is considered as a universal and exceptional resource for achieving educational goals in the final grades. In modern conditions of digitalization of the educational process and increasing information flows, the individuals’ ability to set goals and optimally achieve them, while maintaining curiosity, achievement motivation, and the desire to develop their personality, is of particular value. The main research question is: what regulatory, motivational, and personal characteristics of students with different regulatory profiles act as their psychological resources for successful school graduation? The study aims to investigate the contribution of regulatory, motivational, and personal characteristics to the annual assessment in mathematics and Russian in high school students with different profiles of conscious self-regulation. The following results were obtained from a sample of students in grades 9–11 (N = 355, average age M = 15.81 ± 0.926). Regression models of the contributions of regulatory, motivational, personal, and emotional-motivational indicators to the performance in mathematics and Russian were constructed for six selected individual typological groups of students. The results showed that only a high harmonious profile of self-regulation ensures that the student is “focused” on high academic achievements. Any conflict in the motivational or personal sphere distracts the resources of the graduate from educational activities. The process of self-regulation (Modeling) is suppressed in all groups as a result of preparation for exams. The regulatory profile and motivational and personal characteristics of students who risk not passing the examination tests without the intervention of teachers and psychologists are determined.

Authors: Kolesnikova I. A. , Lilienthal I. E.
Published: October 2020

The data of an experimental study of the features of aggressive behavior in teenage drug addicts, as well as the possibility of controlling and self-regulation of aggressive manifestations in this category of individuals are presented. The growth of aggressive trends in adolescence reflects one of the most acute social problems of modern societies, where drug addiction, alcoholism, and juvenile delinquency have risen sharply in recent years. To study the features of aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts, we used a battery of valid methods and methods aimed at assessing the specifics of aggressive manifestations, personal, motivational, strong-willed and other features of teenage drug addicts. The article shows that, indeed, the aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts has its own distinctive features, determined by the presence of accentuation or psychopathy of character, inadequate self-esteem, self-centeredness; violations of attitudes, motivation, affective sphere of personality, with irritability and increased excitability; the predominance of verbal, physical forms of aggression, suspicion; the orientation of aggression to external objects, in addition, the characteristics of the aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts depend on a number of microsocial factors, etc. In order to increase the effectiveness of preventive and rehabilitation work with aggressive teenage drug addicts, such methods of action show effectiveness as: mandatory and primary treatment of adolescents is drug addicts, the inclusion of adolescents in this category in the anonymous grooms of drug addicts, in the system of socially recognized and socially approved activities the use of psychotherapy, methods of active psychological impact; conducting educational and preventive work with the inner circle of a teenage drug addict, etc. The article presents reasonable conclusions from a stating experiment, and offers recommendations for the prevention and correction of selfregulation of aggressive manifestations in teenage drug addicts.

Anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians, performing their professional duties in tense and often extreme conditions of work (with risks to life and health), can be assigned to the risk group for various negative mental states. The professional activities of an anesthesiologists impose significant requirements on their personality. In order to identify and describe the characteristics the mental states of anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists, 49 physicians of the Arkhangelsk region were examined (average age 34.6 ± 13.6 years). The study used questionnaires, psychological testing (McLin’s scale of organizational stress, methodology for determining the dominant state by L. V. Kulikov, multi-level personality questionnaire «Adaptability» (MLO-AM) by A. G. Maklakov and S. V. Chermyanin, the questionnaire «Attitude to work and professional burnout» by V. A. Vinokur, the Lusher color test, the questionnaire by Ch.D. Spilberger — Yu.A. Khaninand) and statistical processing of empirical results. It has been established that in the course of fulfilling their professional duties, more than 79.6 % of anesthesiologists and intensive care physician often encounter stressful situations; every third specialist is at risk of life or danger of injury, injury during work. More than half of the respondents have a high level of organizational stress, 67.3 % have a burnout syndrome, 35.3 % are characterized by fatigue, lack of mood, lethargy, inertia, low working capacity, and 1/3 have a high rate of situational anxiety. 1/2 of anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians have reduced level of adaptive abilities, asthenic are expressed in 14.2 %, and psychotic reactions and conditions — in 24.4 %. The article offers recommendations for the prevention of negative mental states of anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians.

Published: October 2020

The article touches upon the issue of self-regulation development in preschool children. Play is one of the effective means in development of children’s selfregulatory skills. The aim of the study is to determinate playing conditions conducive to the development of self-regulation in preschoolers. The problem analysis method was used, as well as the modeling method during the study. We have analyzed the scientific works of native and foreign researchers on the issues of children’s play (A. Ivrendi, D. B Elkonin, E. Danniels, etc.) and mental states and self-regulation (V. N. Myasishchev, N. D. Levitov, A. O. Prokhorov and others). Based on the analysis, the study substantiates the need to teach the child self-regulation skills in psycho-emotional stress situations. At the same time, much attention is given to the fact that the acquisition of the skill is impossible without the participation of an adult or a teacher. Areview of studies on the possibilities of children’s play has made it possible to identify a number of conditions conducive to the development of self-regulatory skills: possibility to play a certain role (imitative effect), phasing of play actions, ability for a child to make their own decision, etc. We articulate and validate the need for the following conditions of self-regulation development in preschool children based on modeling the game situation. 1. In a play the child should be able to play several roles in turn. This allows the child to experience different emotions and understand the other person. 2. Introduction of playing element — pauses (time-outs). It allows to reduce the emotional «degree» during the play. 3. Positive reinforcement of the correct actions and emotional manifestations of the child by the adult. It helps the child to learn socially approved actions.
Emotional intelligence as a resource for codependent women

Published: October 2020

The relevance of the study of personal resources is related to the importance of knowledge about the factors that determine a person’s mental health despite living conditions. The research aim was to study the emotional intelligence as a coping resource of codependent women. Sample: 19 women aged 32 to 47 years who are in a close relationship with a chemically dependent person. All women are clients of groups that help relatives of dependent people in Kostroma. Methods: The Mayer — Salovey — Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test 1998 (MSCEIT v. 2.0), adaptation in Russian (Sergienko & Vetrova, 2010); Co-Dependency Assessment Inventory (Weinhold & Weinhold, 2008); Ways of Coping Questionnaire, Folkman & Lazarus, 1988, adaptation in Russian (Kryukova, 2010); Projective technique «Man in the rain» by E. V. Romanova, T. I. Sytko (1992). The results indicate a lower development of emotional intelligence, the ability to understand emotions and consciously manage them, and features of the emotional sphere were found: feelings of insecurity, emotional coldness, impulsiveness and infantile. 47 % of women cope with the situation of dependence of a loved one unconstructively and are prone to excessive self-control, search for social support, and strive to solve the problem in any way. This does not allow you to cope with the dependence of a loved one and with your own codependent state. Regression analysis shows a fairly positive impact on coping behavior of the ability to understand and analyze emotions, use them in solving problems, consciously manage them, and predict their emotional States in the future. On the one hand, distance from the situation is reduced, on the other hand, emotional intelligence creates conditions for confrontation with the dependent behavior of a loved one and for a positive reevaluation of the situation in the context of strengthening one’s own personality. These results allow us to speak about the resource role of emotional intelligence in the situation of codependent relationships.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Different diseases in obstetrics and gynecology can affect the number of CD34+ cells in
the umbilical cord blood.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), Gestational
Hypertension (GHT) and Morbidly Adherent Placenta (MAP) on the content of CD34+ cells of umbilical
cord blood and to compare the effectiveness of Sysmex XN20 analyzer to the flow cytometry method,
which is the gold standard in CD34+ cells.
Materials abd Methods: The umbilical cord blood (15 ml) was collected after the birth of the newborns.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll-Paque Plus. The cells were stained
with Procount ™ Progenitor Cell Count Kit with PE Labeled monoclonal anti-CD34+ antibody then
analyzed with Flow Cytometry or Sysmex XN20 without staining, to identify CD34+ cells named as
hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), respectively.
Results: Flow cytometric evaluation revealed a significantly elevated (p<0.05) number of cord blood
CD34+ cells in GDM and GHT groups compared with healthy controls. MAP patients had comparable
CD34+ cells compared with healthy controls. A significant increase in lymphocyte counts was also
observed in GDM and GHT groups compared with healthy controls. Sysmex analysis however only
revealed an increase in lymphocyte numbers in GHT but picked no differences across groups in HPC.
Correlation between Sysmex and flow cytometry results was weak in control, GHT, GDM and MAP
groups r: 0570/p<0.01, r: 0.5727/p: 0.0708, r:0.2149/p: 0.4779, r: 0.111/p: 0.779, respectively.
Conclusions: CD34+ cells were significantly higher in the GHT and GDM groups compared with healthy
control cord blood. The correlations between Flow cytometry and Sysmex were not strong.

Published: October 2020

Objectives: Anger is the emotional state experienced as a result of being unable to express oneself in positive ways in the face of an individual's desire, needs and plans to be obstructed and to suffer injustice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anger level and its way of expression on emergency medical service staff by using the Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale

Material and Method: This study was performed between 01.05.2017 and 01.06.2017 by using the State-Trait Anger Inventory on 112 commands and control center staff in the European part of Istanbul. Participants were divided into groups according to age, gender and occupation.

Results: When the scores obtained from the subscales of the State-Trait Anger Inventory according to gender were examined, the average scores of males were higher. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the scores of the subscales of the State-Trait Anger Inventory of the participants. A negative relationship between anger and anger-control was determined.

Conclusion: There is no significant difference in anger level and its way of expression according to gender, age and different occupational groups of the healthcare professionals in the emergency ambulance services and the increase of anger level decreases anger control. So it may be beneficial to give training to the healthcare professionals working in emergency ambulance services to recognize their anger and manage their control.

Published: October 2020

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to transfer observational data on incidentaloma cases, which we encountered in our center, in terms of their radiological, histopathologic features and hormonal activities, retrospectively review the growth rates during follow-up.

Material and Method: In this retrospective study 137 incidentaloma cases that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The medical records of all cases were analyzed statistically by recording age, sex information, hormonal examinations and imaging results, functional status of masses, histopathological findings, and information on adrenal mass diameter change during follow-up.

Results: In this study, 97 (71%) patients were female and 40 (29%) were male. 99 patients (72.3%) were diagnosed with nonfunctional adenomas (NFA), 21 patients (15%) with subclinical Cushing syndrome (SCS), 9 patients (6%) with pheochromocytoma, 6 patients (4%) with hyperaldosteronism, and 2 patients (1%) with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Patients with functional masses were significantly younger than patients with NFA (p: 0.04). Malignancy was identified in 6 patients (4%). The mean follow-up period of the patients was 20.2 ± 19.86 months. Growth in mass size was detected in 24 patients (17%). In 6 of the masses (26% of the growing masses, 4% of all the masses), growth of over 1 cm was observed. The growth rate of the masses in male patients was significantly higher than the growth rate in female patients (p: 0.031).

Conclusion: The incidence of mass growth and malignancy was higher in older age and male sex. Patient’s age and sex should be bear in mind for their duration and frequency of follow-up in terms of functionality and malignant conversion.
A Bizarre Accident: A Boy with a Needle in the Posterior Urethra
Authors: AKDENİZ Yonca Senem , BALTA Musa , İPEKCİ Afşın , İKİZCELİ İbrahim
Published: October 2020

Objectives: Self-insertion of penile foreign bodies is a common phenomenon worldwide. In the literature, there are numerous reported cases of self-inflicted foreign objects in the urethra but in Turkey, the reported cases are relatively few and these are usually adult cases. Case: An 11 years-old male presented to the emergency department with inadvertently slipping a needle in his urethra after itching the urethral orifice with the needle. A plain x-ray of the pelvis showed a needle approximately about the level of the posterior urethra. By cystoscopy, the needle is completely removed from the bulbar urethra without any complication. Conclusion: Cases of self-inserted urethral bodies are not rare. Patients often present with voiding symptoms such as dysuria, pyuria, increased urinary frequency, hematuria, urinary retention, and penile or perineal swelling. Pelvic x-ray is usually sufficient for diagnosis; ultrasonography and computerized tomography are the next choices. Endoscopic retrieval is the initial management and, in most cases, it is successful; open surgery is rarely required.

The nearby (3.8 Mpc) galaxy NGC 4945 hosts a nuclear starburst and Seyfert type 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN). We use the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to image the 93 GHz (3.2 mm) free–free continuum and hydrogen recombination line emission (H40α and H42α) at 2.2 pc (0.″12) resolution. Our observations reveal 27 bright, compact sources with FWHM sizes of 1.4–4.0 pc, which we identify as candidate super star clusters. Recombination line emission, tracing the ionizing photon rate of the candidate clusters, is detected in 15 sources, six of which have a significant synchrotron component to the 93 GHz continuum. Adopting an age of ∼5 Myr, the stellar masses implied by the ionizing photon luminosities are

(M
⋆/M⊙) ≈ 4.7–6.1. We fit a slope to the cluster mass distribution and find β = −1.8 ± 0.4. The gas masses associated with these clusters, derived from the dust continuum at 350 GHz, are typically an order of magnitude lower than the stellar mass. These candidate clusters appear to have already converted a large fraction of their dense natal material into stars and, given their small freefall times of ∼0.05 Myr, are surviving an early volatile phase. We identify a pointlike source in 93 GHz continuum emission that is presumed to be the AGN. We do not detect recombination line emission from the AGN and place an upper limit on the ionizing photons that leak into the starburst region of Q

Questions minoritaires, réponses majeures : remarques sur la colère majoritaire
Authors: Garbagnoli Sara , Noûs Camille
Published: October 2020

En écho à diverses controverses sur le genre et sur la race qui ont traversé le champ politique français au cours des dernières années, les savoirs minoritaires se sont heurtés à une nouvelle vague de fortes résistances. En analysant les permanences rhétoriques du discours anti-minoritaire ainsi que ses spécificités actuelles (opposition à ladite « théorie du genre », rejet de la catégorie de race), l’article démontre que la pensée de Colette Guillaumin demeure pertinente pour analyser la logique et les enjeux de cette offensive. Dans tout son œuvre, Guillaumin a réfléchi aux oppositions que soulève la prise de parole minoritaire et a contribué à forger les concepts ciblés par les attaques en cours (minoritaire, race, racisation).
Lutz Seiler und das „Territorium der Müdigkeit“
Authors: Taïeb Lucie
Published: October 2020

L’article est consacré à deux essais de Lutz Seiler parus dans le recueil Sonntags dachte ich an Gott (2004) et plus particulièrement aux sections respectives de ces essais qui établissent une relation singulière entre la fatigue, la radioactivité de la région de RDA natale de l’auteur et sa créativité littéraire. Il tente de montrer que, loin de se livrer seulement à un éloge paradoxal de l’atome, l’auteur décrit la source même de l’acte d’écriture, remontant à son enfance : une porosité et une attention face au monde physique et à la matière, qui pourraient précisément avoir été favorisées par son enfance passée près des mines d’uranium.
Enseignement de la langue corse et diversité culturelle
Authors: Devichi Claude , Maziere Christelle
Published: October 2020

Cet article vise à étudier le rôle que peut tenir une langue régionale dans l’éducation à la citoyenneté et à la diversité culturelle. Sont présentés dans cette perspective les résultats d’une recherche expérimentale initialement destinée à évaluer les compétences en langue régionale d’élèves du 1er degré dans l’Académie de Corse en lien avec les pratiques linguistiques familiales. La discussion de ces résultats amène à se prononcer en faveur d’une ouverture au plurilinguisme, indispensable pour construire du commun dans l’expérience collective de l’école. L’enseignement d’une langue régionale peut alors être vu comme vecteur d’intégration entre les communautés en présence sur un territoire.

Authors: Moretti Christelle
Published: October 2020

Les réseaux sociaux apparaissent dans cette recherche comme le support d’observation des pratiques linguistiques chez des élèves entre 10 et 16 ans. L’étude réalisée en Corse invite à considérer certaines spécificités liées à l’existence d’une situation diglossique entre le français et le corse. Le travail de terrain permet d’observer de nombreuses langues en présence ainsi que leurs échanges sur les réseaux sociaux. La prise en compte des bains linguistiques d’origine permet d’envisager des catégorisations en termes de groupes linguistiques et/ou socioculturels. Une étude qualitative menée sur les discours d’adolescents vise à caractériser leurs représentations des groupes potentiellement -sociaux-.
S’approprier les constructions des verbes se souvenir et oublier : prendre en compte la parole des élèves allophones
Authors: Roubaud Marie-Noëlle , Elalouf Marie-Laure
Published: October 2020

Ayant constaté que les élèves allophones investissent de façon singulière les constructions verbales à l’écrit, nous avons fait le choix théorique d’une syntaxe valencielle, pour décrire les usages de deux verbes antonymiques se souvenir et oublier et nous avons conçu un dispositif didactique articulant lecture, production et réflexion métalinguistique dont les effets ont été mesurés à distance dans une production orale autonome enregistrée et transcrite. La comparaison entre les écrits initiaux et les prestations orales fait apparaitre une forte tendance à privilégier les compléments nominaux à l’oral comme à l’écrit, mais également des compétences spécifiques à l’oral.
Les laitages, amis ou ennemis
Authors: Ménat Eric
Published: October 2020

Le lait nourrit nos enfants depuis que le monde est monde, mais c’était surtout le lait de leur mère. Les laits des animaux domestiques ont nourri les peuples, en particulier nomades, mais depuis le milieu du 20 e siècle cet aliment a bien changé du fait des modifications des modes d’élevage et son industrialisation. Aujourd’hui, quels sont les avantages et les inconvénients du lait et de ses dérivés ? Leur intérêt nutritionnel tourne surtout autour de leur teneur en calcium. Les intolérances au lactose voir aux protéines du lait paraissent plus fréquentes. Le lien avec l’industrialisation de la filière laitière n’est pas établi, mais la réalité est là : de plus en plus de patients se plaignent de mal tolérer les produits laitiers. Entre les intérêts nutritionnels et la tolérance digestive, nos recommandations faites à nos patients sont amenées à évoluer pour être plus personnalisées. Les messages de santé publique ne s’appliquent pas forcément à l’individu que nous avons en face de nous et une meilleure connaissance des différents laitages à notre disposition nous permettra de mieux conseiller nos patients.
Le monde selon Cassius Dion : autopsis , savoirs empruntés et représentations
Authors: Lachenaud Guy
Published: October 2020

Bien que l’économie de l’ Histoire romaine se conforme essentiellement à la tradition annalistique, même après l’instauration du Principat, les éléments géographiques et ethnographiques ne doivent pas être tenus pour négligeables. En suivant les étapes de la conquête romaine, jusqu’au point d’équilibre augustéen, et jusqu’à son époque, Cassius Dion manifeste l’étendue de sa culture et de sa curiosité en insérant des notices plus ou moins développées. Quelques indices permettent d’entrevoir sa vision du monde. Les descriptions ethnographiques sont à la fois traditionnelles et originales (notamment quand il inverse l’opposition entre Romains et barbares). Nous soulignons ce qui l’intéresse plus particulièrement et nous faisons apparaître les effets de l’expérience personnelle.
Les sensations ne résultent pas d’une impression dans l’âme. Une difficulté textuelle chez Plotin, Sur la sensation et la mémoire ( Enn . IV 6 [41] 1, 19-21)
Authors: Taormina Daniela P.
Published: October 2020

En Ennéade IV 6 (41), Plotin se propose de montrer que la sensation et la mémoire sont essentiellement actives et constituent « une espèce de force ». La nouveauté de cette thèse est rehaussée par le contraste avec le modèle traditionnel qui assimile l’âme à un support d’écriture. Contre ce modèle, Plotin affirme que les sensations ne résultent pas d’une empreinte dans l’âme et que, par conséquent, les souvenirs qui en dérivent ne sont pas non plus des rétentions d’empreintes, car il n’y a pas d’empreintes qui se seraient formées auparavant (1, 1-5). Cependant la cohérence de cette thèse dépend d’un passage du chapitre 1, lignes 19-21, dont le texte le mieux attesté dans la tradition manuscrite semble corrompu. Tous les éditeurs de Plotin, ainsi que ses traducteurs, se sont confrontés à cette difficulté. On propose ici de revenir au texte établi par Henry et Schwyzer dans leur editio maior (Paris-Bruxelles 1959) : …οὐδέ τῳ σϕραγῖδα λαµβανούσης, ὥσπερ ἐν κηρῷ δακτυλίου βλεπούσης. Cette correction est la plus plausible du point de vue paléographique et la meilleure quant au sens. On écarte ainsi l’autre texte publié ultérieurement par Henry et Schwyzer dans leur editio minor (Oxford 1977), qui implique une incohérence dans la théorie plotinienne de la sensation et de la mémoire.
Le Diable est dans les périphéries (du texte). Karel Čapek et la destitution du centre
Authors: Mengozzi Chiara
Published: October 2020

Après avoir illustré, à travers l’article Jak se dělá světová literatura ( Comment fait-on une littérature mondiale ), les différentes définitions de la littérature mondiale proposées par Karel Čapek et la manière dont une littérature mineure peut acquérir, selon lui, une dimension mondiale, nous porterons notre attention sur La Guerre des salamandres ( Válka s mloky ), pour montrer, d’une part, que la doxa critique concernant l’une des œuvres majeures du canon national tchèque peut être remise en question par une analyse capable de prendre en compte la structure de domination de l’espace littéraire ; de l’autre, que cette œuvre ne se limite pas à refléter mais aussi conteste la configuration des rapports de subalternité et de domination entre langues, cultures et nations. La lecture conjointe de cet article et de ce roman, jamais entreprise par la critique, a donc une triple ambition : aboutir à une interprétation originale du roman de Čapek, lu presque exclusivement comme un roman à thèse contre le capitalisme, le colonialisme, le militarisme et le nazisme ; esquisser un chapitre moins connu de l’histoire de la notion de littérature mondiale par le biais d’un auteur qui, tout en provenant d’un espace (semi) périphérique, a su s’imposer à l’attention internationale en finissant par devenir un classique de la science-fiction de même qu’un auteur de référence du modernisme européen ; enfin, souligner la nécessité d’étudier la littérature à l’âge de sa mondialisation à travers un « va-et-vient » entre distant et close reading .

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a probiotic in preventing infections after third molar surgery. Thirty-eight patients were consecutively enrolled to a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial. Patients were asked to take one tablet two times a day containing a mixture of Levilactobacillus brevis CECT7480 (KABP-052) and Lactoplantibacillus plantarum CECT7481 (KABP-051) or placebo for the first post-intervention week. The primary outcome was the postoperative infection rate. Secondary outcomes included swelling, eating difficulties and postoperative pain recorded by the patient using a visual analogue scale (VAS) during the first postoperative week. No statistically significant difference in the infection rate between the groups was found; with only three cases of infections reported (one in the probiotic group and two in the placebo group) on the first week. Compared to placebo, treatment with the probiotic showed a significantly higher reduction in pain and eating difficulties scores at 5, 6 and 7 days post-surgery. Swelling values were not significantly different between the groups at any time point. The findings of this pilot study justify a larger study to clarify the possible role of these bacterial strains on the post-operative pain management following third molar surgery.

Published: October 2020

This study investigated the influence of exercise and fasting state on haematologic and biochemical parameters in juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas). Animals were divided into two groups; one group was fasted for 72 h and one group was fed 1 h prior to exercise. Exercise was induced by repeated righting reflexes and blood values were measured prior to and post-exercise. Prior to exercise, fasted animals showed significantly decreased levels of urea, pH, PVCO2 and HCO3
- and significant increases in Cl- and PVO2, compared to fed animals and fasted animals had significantly poorer exercise performance. Following exercise both fasted and fed animals had significant increases in Na+, K+, Cl-, PVCO2, PVO2, urea and lactate and significant decreases in pH and HCO3
-. The magnitude of increase in lactate levels was significantly less in fasted animals. Prior to exercise, a significant correlation was calculated in fasted animals between pH and HCO3
-. Following exercise, significant correlations were calculated in fed animals between pH and HCO3
-, PVCO2 and lactate, and between pH and HCO3

Singular cannulation in the small intestine of pigs is a common methodology for studying nutrient digestibility, delivering compounds into the gastrointestinal tract, or repeated tissue and digesta sampling. In that respect, it is an important tool for nutritionists and researchers. However, there is a dearth of detailed methodologies describing multiple intestinal cannulations using modern techniques. The objective of this experiment was to develop a single right flank laparotomy technique that allowed for imsertion of multiple cannulas in the small intestine, with minimal variation, and allowed for externalisation of both cannulas on the same lateral side as the laparotomy. Thirty gilts (L337 × Camborough) with an initial body weight of 30.2±0.78 kg underwent the procedure. Each gilt was equipped with a simple t-cannula in the terminal ileum, approximately 10 cm cranial to the ileocecal valve, and a second t-cannula in the jejunum 240 cm distal from where the duodenum is visually posterior to the transverse colon. The procedure used hallmarks of commonly implemented terminal ileal cannulation techniques, but modified the laparotomy location and cannula externalisation sites and used a novel approach for determining the more proximal cannula location to mitigate the need of a second laparotomy. Gilts were allowed to recover for a minimum of 7 d and were used for an average of 67 days in subsequent experimental trials. Cannula longevity was from 30 to 73 kg of body weight. Pigs were necropsied for surgical site gross examination and small intestine measurements at the end of the experiment. The jejunal cannula had a mean placement of 298.90±9.96 cm distal to the pyloric sphincter with a coefficient of variation of 3.33%. Hence, this procedure provided a single laparotomy technique for obtaining digesta from multiple locations of the small intestine, with minimal variation in proximal cannula placement.

Aflatoxin production by isolates ofAspergillus flavus varies, ranging from highly toxigenic to completely atoxigenic. Several mechanisms have been identified which regulate aflatoxin production including medium carbon source and oxidative stress. In recent studies, aflatoxin production has been implicated in partially ameliorating oxidative stress inA. flavus. To better understand the role of aflatoxin production in oxidative stress responses, a selection of toxigenic and atoxigenic isolates ofA. flavus with moderate to high oxidative stress tolerance were exposed to increasing concentrations of H2O2 in both aflatoxin-conducive and non-conducive media. Mycelial mats were collected for global transcriptome sequencing followed by differential expression, functional prediction, and weighted co-expression analyses. Oxidative stress and medium carbon source had a significant effect on the expression of several secondary metabolite gene clusters including those for aflatoxin, aflatrem, aflavarin, cyclopiazonic acid, and kojic acid. Atoxigenic biological control isolates showed less differential expression under stress than other atoxigenic isolates suggesting expression profiles may be useful in screening. Increasing stress also resulted in regulation of SakA/Hog1 and MpkA MAP kinase signalling pathways pointing to their potential roles in regulating oxidative stress responses. Their expression was also influenced by medium carbon source. These results suggest that aflatoxin production along with that of other mycotoxins may occur as part of a concerted coping mechanism for oxidative stress and its effects in the environment. This mechanism is also regulated by availability of simple sugars and glycolytic compounds for their biosynthesis.

Published: October 2020

Autism unlike other diseases has peculiar symptoms and pre-causes. The symptoms and suspicions are found especially in newly born children, preterm born infants, and children below 12 years. These children have peculiar attributes such as inability to communicate with fellow children, poor speech ability, difficulty in dealing with daily routines and procedures and being oversensitive. This study correlates with the existing work on autism diagnosis techniques by using machine learning methodologies. It further provides the summary of the relevant techniques to validate the existence of autism disorder and strategies used for diagnosis. Various diagnostic methods include behavioural analysis, eye tracking, and neural or brain imaging. The key objective of the chapter is to assess and understand the preliminary causes of the autism spectrum disorder, including analyzing technological support that can be rendered for the early diagnosis of autism.

En el artículo expongo una metodología de análisis de lecturas sobre indígenas en libros escolares de Argentina (1885-1940). En el trabajo argumento acerca de la importancia de reconstruir el contexto sociohistórico de producción, describo procedimientos metodológicos y explico el carácter multidisciplinar de la investigación emprendida. Expongo aportes de la historia y de la antropología, y profundizo en la antropología visual. Estudios sobre la fotografía etnográfica de fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX, facilitan claves interpretativas de los retratos sobre indígenas reproducidos en los libros escolares. El recurso a la antropología visual fue uno de los caminos más fructíferos para comprender esos libros como piezas de un universo social mayor en el cual cobran sentido

The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 regulates proton fluxes across membranes, thereby influencing pH-dependent processes. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) require a particularly tight regulation of endosomal pH to ensure strong type I IFN secretion exclusively during infection, avoiding autoimmunity. However, whether Hv1 is important for pH control in pDCs is presently unknown. In this study, we show that mouse pDCs require Hv1 to achieve potent type I IFN responses after the recognition of foreign DNA by endosomal TLR9. Genetic disruption of Hvcn1, which encodes Hv1, impaired mouse pDC activation by CpG oligonucleotides in vitro and in vivo, reducing IFN-α secretion and the induction of IFN-stimulated genes. Mechanistically, Hvcn1 deficiency delayed endosomal acidification and enhanced intracellular reactive oxygen species production, consequently limiting protease activity and TLR9 signaling. Our study reveals a critical role of Hv1 during innate immune responses and places this channel as a key modulator of type I IFN production, the hallmark function of pDCs, commending Hv1 as an attractive target for modulating type I IFN–driven autoimmunity.

The atmospheric corrosion presented in indoors of a seafood industry, generated aggressive environments and with this deterioration in steel cans used to can sardine and tuna food, which were corroded in the manufacturing processes of this industry evaluated. Even using metal containers with a special coating to can tuna and sardines and with the exposition of aggressive environments the deterioration of these cans was made, before being used for the container of tuna and sardines in the manufacturing areas. The air pollutants as sulfurs principally, which generated the aggressive environments penetrated through cracks and air conditioning systems to indoors of the seafood industry evaluated in Ensenada, promoting the corrosion process originated. The occurrence of corrosion in the seafood industry evaluated, increased the costs of the manufacturing processes for the necessity of takeoff the deterioration of steel cans corroded used to pack tuna and sardine in 45% of the steel cans received of an industry of United States, and around 35% of the steel cans used had to be replaced. This represented a decrease in competitiveness in this industrial company evaluated, presenting economic losses, caused by presence the air pollution of Ensenada, which generated the deterioration in steel cans, being originated principally sulfurs of cars and chloride ions of sea breeze. Recently in this city of the northwest of the Mexican Republic, the indices of air pollutants emitted by the traffic vehicle, are increased and overpass the air quality standards (AQS), determined by the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT-Mexico) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA-USA). For this reason an analysis of the atmospheric corrosion in indoors of a seafood industry located in Ensenada city, was made to identify the aggressive agents that reacted with the metallic surface of steel cans used to can tuna and sardine, with micro evaluation with technique of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and nano analysis with Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) method. The investigation was made in 2019.

Working in a commercial kitchen in restaurants and hotels is physically challenging. In the Middle East, summer temperatures are very high and require proper ventilation and air conditioning for comfortable working. In the current study a typical kitchen with dimensions 5 m × 4 m × 3 m, with heat source and range hood is modelled using computational fluid dynamics software. A comparative analysis was conducted on the location of the air conditioning system in the kitchen space. The investigated locations of the air conditioning system were on the kitchen side wall and ceiling. The results of the simulation showed that placing the air conditioning system in the ceiling at the centre of the kitchen produced better air circulation. The air flow close to the hood had sufficient velocity to remove heat, contaminants and CO2 generated from the cooking process

The machine learning models use trip duration, product threshold temperature and ambient temperature as the independent variables to predict the weight of gel packs need to keep the temperature of the product below its threshold temperature value. The weight of the gel packs can be translated to number of gel packs required. Regression using Neural Networks, Support Vector Regression, Gradient Boosted Regression and Elastic Net Regression are compared. The Neural Networks based model performs the best in terms of its mean absolute error value and r-squared values. A Neural Network model is then deployed on as webservice to score allowing for client application to make rest calls to estimate gel pack weights
