Protective effects of Cathelicidin against glomerulonephritis through promotion of host defense
Authors: H. Bahl Ajay , Lee Wanda
Published: November 2020

Cathelicidin-related antimicrobial peptides are a family of polypeptides found in lysosomes of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Some of these peptides can assume an alpha-helical conformation, others contain one or two disulfide bonds, still others are Pro- and Arg-rich, or Trp-rich. Higher levels of human cathelicidin antimicrobial protein (hCAP18), which are up-regulated by vitamin D, appear to significantly reduce the risk of death from infection in dialysis patients. Using in vitro and in vivo models of kidney infection, we demonstrate key antimicrobial and host immunomodulatory properties of cathelicidins. To directly assess the role of endogenous cathelicidin in the development of glomerulonephritis, WT and mCRAMP KO mice were provided with 5% DSS to induce glomerulonephritis. Some mice groups were administered with E. coli DNA I.P. Our findings showed that mCRAMP KO mice develop more severe glomerulonephritis. These data demonstrate key roles for cathelicidins in host defense against glomerulonephritis and the potential to inform the development of synthetic analogues to modulate specific host-pathogen interactions as novel antimicrobial therapeutics.
Before, during and after the Dana of September 2019 in the region of Murcia (Spain), as reported in the written press
Authors: Romero-Díaz María Asunción , Pérez Morales Alfredo
Published: November 2020

In September 2019 a DANA affected the Southeast of Spain with a special impact on the Segura Basin and the Region of Murcia. Heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding, very serious damage and generally affected the whole population. The main objective of this work was to analyse this episode through a follow-up of all the news published in two regional newspapers, La Verdad and La Opinión. To this end, a methodological proposal was made to classify the news according to: the typology of the subject, the relevance of the DANA in terms of frequency and how the news developed. A total of 816 news articles covering 52 days were studied and grouped into 26 subjects. The issues that aroused most interest, were those relating to the solidarity offered and aid provided to those affected, the effects on the Mar Menor (a nearby coastal lagoon); visits by politicians, personalities and their statements; solutions and mitigation measures; evacuations, rescues and displacements. The database analysed allowed us to organise the information into different aspects and in sequence: (i) prevention tasks and warnings prior to the materialisation of a risk situation; (ii) rescues, relief and assistance to persons, and (iii) response, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
Development of an evaporative cooler system applied to the air conditioning of urban buses
Authors: Broliato César Ramos , Altafini Carlos Roberto , Costa Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2020

Air conditioning for buses is an important incentive tool for the public transport, since it offers comfort to passengers and stimulates the use of this kind of transport which is fundamental to improve urban mobility. Currently, air conditioning equipment for buses is the mechanical vapor compression (MVC) type. However, this kind of system has two main disadvantages: the high financial cost and power consumption by the vehicle engine. The purpose of this study is to develop an evaporative cooler for buses, which is a simple, environmental friendly, low-cost solution that does not use engine power for its operation. The first step was the design and construction of the prototype. The following step was to evaluate the built prototype through performing experimental tests. The prototype presented a saturation efficiency of approximately 70%, airflow rate of 421.5 m³/h and energy consumption of 98.4 W. After determining the prototype technical characteristics, the evaporative cooling system was developed for an urban bus, seeking to meet the air renewal required by ANSI/ASHRAE standard 62.1 and to promote the passenger’s thermal comfort as specified by ISO 7730 and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55. The thermal comfort provided by the new cooling system was evaluated through the PMV-PPD indexes. A value of 0.35 was obtained for the PMV index and the PPD index obtained a value of 7, indicating that approximately 93% of the passengers will be satisfied regarding their thermal comfort for the established environmental conditions. The evaporative cooling system had a total energy consumption of approximately 0.4 kW, which represents only 5% of the energy that would be consumed by a MVC system. Therefore, the evaporative cooling performance depends on the climatic conditions of the environment, especially humidity. However, when applied in favorable conditions (low humidity), the evaporative cooling system proved to be a viable solution to replace the MVC systems in buses air-conditioning application, where its main advantage is its positive cost-benefit and energy savings. http://dx.doi.org/10.18226/23185279.v8iss1p46
Extend of neuroendocrine differentiation in adenocarcinoma prostate needle biopsies
Authors: C Girija , M Feroze
Published: November 2020

Neuroendocrine differentiation in prostatic adenocarcinoma is now one of the emerging prognostic factor that determine treatment outcome. This study aims to identify the extent of neuroendocrine differentiation amidst the tumour cells in adenocarcinoma prostate with the help of immunohistochemical marker, Chromogranin A(CgA) and correlate with its Gleason score. A semiquantative scoring system was utilised to estimate and quantify cells having neuroendocrine differentiation.

Out of 40 cases of prostatic adenocarcinomas in needle core biopsies, 93% of patients with a Gleason score >6 showed CgA positivity of more than 5% and 2cases (16.6%) having Gleason score 9 showed >50% of CgA positive cells in the tumour area.

Hence higher Gleason score correlated with higher degree of neuroendocrine differentiation in our study.
INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL ISSUE: AN EMPIRICAL EXPLORATION OF CHILD AND YOUTH CARE PEDAGOGY AND CURRICULUM
Authors: Grupper Emmanuel , Schneider Alexander , Peters Friedhelm
Published: November 2020

FICE International is an international organization focused on children and youth who are in need of out-of-home care. One of its major activities is organizing a world congress every three years. In these congresses, professionals from all over the world who are involved with out-of-home care can meet, exchange knowledge, and learn from each other. The most recent FICE congress, held in October 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel, was dedicated to the theme “Better Future Opportunities for Children and Young People in Multicultural Societies”. The editor of this journal has been kind enough to offer this platform for the publication of selected material presented at the congress. FICE-International, and we as guest editors, are most thankful to Prof. Sibylle Artz, editor of the IJCYFS, for this opportunity. The richness and variety of the selected articles, coming from 10 countries, could not be accommodated in a single issue. The editors of the journal have therefore decided to divide the articles into two special issues, to be published one after the other. The first of these issues includes articles in three thematic categories: (a) Evidence-based research on effects of out-of-home care, (b) Historical and sociological perspectives on institutionalized child and youth care, and (c) Normalization — a challenge for foster care programs. Four further categories will provide the framework for the forthcoming second special issue: (d) Emotional and pedagogical considerations, (e) Refugee children and youth, (f) Residential staff, and (g) Care leavers.

Authors: Vejmelka Lucija , Matkovic Roberta , Borkovic Davorka Kovacic
Published: November 2020

The virtual environment available through the internet is an important domain of children’s subjective well-being. Widespread usage of information technology brings risks as well as benefits, a topic now under intensive study by professionals in multiple fields. To date there has been a lack of research about the experiences of children from group accommodation settings when navigating the virtual environment. The main goal of the present study, which involved 510 high school students living in dormitories in Split-Dalmatia County, was to determine and document patterns of internet usage and internet addiction, and to examine another internet behavior, cyberbullying. Our results show that 3.73% of the children we studied manifested a severe level of internet addiction, while about one third took part in cyberbullying as victim, perpetrator, or both. An important finding is that children involved with cyberbullying have significantly higher levels of internet addiction, suggesting a relationship between these phenomena. In the second, qualitative, phase of the study, the quantitative research findings were discussed with children, parents, teachers, and staff. Our results enable a better understanding of young people`s behaviors in the online world, and could contribute to the development of educational programs for children and young people and the promotion of evidence-based practice in dormitory settings.

Published: November 2020

This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on extreme precipitation. Rainfall analysis with stationary and nonstationary approach for observed and future conditions is performed for (1950-2015 period) observed data of 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 6 hour and projections (2015-2098 period) of 10, 15 minutes and 1, 6 hour for Ankara province, Turkey. Daily projections are disaggregated to finer scales, 5 minutes storm durations, then five minutes time series aggregated to the storm durations that are subject of interest. Nonstationary Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) models and stationary GEV models for observed and future data are obtained. Nonstationary model results are in general exhibited smaller return level values with respect to stationary model results of each storm duration for observed data driven model results. Considering the projected data driven model results; on average nonstationary models produce mostly lower return levels for mid and longer return periods for all storm durations and return periods except one hour storm duration. Depending on the models and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP), there are different results for the future extreme rainfall input; yet all results indicate a decreasing extreme trend.

The article discusses the correlation of the contents of the terms “in the field of protection of environment” and “environmental” that used in the legislation of the Republic of Belarus to formulate names of legal terms. The correctness of the application of the term «in the field of protection of environment» in relation to normalization is explored. Based on the analysis of some other terms and their definitions contained in the Law of the Republic of Belarus № 1982-XII of November 26, 1992 “On Protection of Environment”, a conclusion about semantic differences of terms “in the field of protection of environment” and “environmental” is formulated. The reasonableness of the use of the term “environmental” in relation to the environmental-legal mechanism of normalization is argued.

THE USE OF A PATENT BY CO-AUTH ORS AND HEIRS FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES AND SOME ISSUES OF PUBLICITY IN PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO DISPUTES OVER INTELLECTUAL RIGHT PROTECTION
Authors:   Еmployee of Servisavtomatika Limited Liability Company, Ivanova Tatyana V.
Published: November 2020

The article considers certain situations that arise while using a patent for an invention by co-authors and successors and some issues of publicity in legal disputes over the protection of intellectual property rights. The invention created by a team of authors serves as the basis for the association of co-authors in an organization aimed at the commercial use of a patent. The exclusive right to a patent shall transfer to the successors, but the right to membership in the organization where the patent was supposed to be used may not be transferred, in which case the successors shall have limited access to information on the use of the patent. Various secrets, confidentiality of information, unavailability of information, complexity of protecting intellectual property rights, complex relationship between members of the organization and successors represent only some of the problems that create obstacles to the normal exercise of the right to use a patent for an invention and to get profit from its use. There is no special method to protect intellectual property right, such as the request to provide access to the information on shared use of a patent. The publicity principle, being one of the principles of legal proceedings, provides the condition for defining the truth in the process of proving, the court provides the conditions for the timely receipt by the participants of the required and sufficient procedural information on a particular case. The publicity of information in a legal case is most likely to provide the opportunity to satisfy a claim for the protection of intellectual property right. The right to membership in the organization, in which the patent was supposed to be used when it had been developed by the co-authors of the organization, can be considered as a guarantee for the right to use the patent. The exclusion of at least one element from this system shall create unequal rights and shall make it impossible to achieve a result — receive profit from the use of a patent.

Research on the Application of the Concept of Sponge Cities in Urban Landscape Planning
Authors: Fang Tao
Published: November 2020

Landscape architecture has developed rapidly since a long time ago. Green space in cities has been slowly designed as parks and greenways, with greenery decoration becoming systematic and integrated. Emerging late in China, the concept of landscape and public space design was not put forward until the first five-year plan after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. After entering the 21st century, with the development of landscape architecture, China gradually attached importance to and developed landscape and public space design. As people deepen their understanding of the world and the earth, the awareness of environmental protection has been enhanced. The urban construction and development have brought about a negative impact on the environment. On the other hand, because people selectively ignored sustainable development, it has in turn caused a passive influence and restricted the development direction of cities. Especially in the rainy season in summer, cities often fail to make effective use of rainwater resources and are damaged.
Matrix Approach To The Direct Computation Method For The Solution of Fredholm Integro-Differential Equations of The Second Kind With Degenerate Kernels
Authors: Kamoh Nathaniel Mahwash , Kumlengand Geoffrey , Sunday Joshua
Published: November 2020

In this paper, a matrix approach to the direct computation method for solving Fredholm integro-differential equations (FIDEs) of the second kind with degenerate kernels is presented. Our approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of linear algebraic equations by approximating the kernel with a finite sum of products and determining the unknown constants by the matrix approach. The proposed method is simple, efficient and accurate; it approximates the solutions exactly with the closed form solutions. Some problems are considered using maple programme to illustrate the simplicity, efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

Black/African American populations are un­derrepresented as participants in dementia research. A major barrier to participation of African American older adults in dementia research is a tendency to distrust research institutions owing to both historical and contemporary racism. Building on the Ford framework, the objective of our study was to examine factors that influence participa­tion in dementia research among African American older adults and caregivers, with an emphasis on understanding factors related to trust. Data were collected during January 2019 and March 2020 from 10 focus groups with African American older adults (n=91), 5 focus groups with caregiv­ers (n=44), and interviews with adminis­trators of community-based organizations (n=11), and meetings with our Community Advisory Board. Inductive/deductive con­tent analysis was used to identify themes. The results identified an overall tension be­tween distrust of researchers and a compel­ling desire to engage in dementia research. This overarching theme was supported by six themes that provided insights about the multiple layers of distrust, as well as expectations about the appropriate conduct of researchers and academic institutions. Strong commitment to the community was identified as a priority. The findings suggest that a paradigm shift is needed to increase the representation of African Americans in dementia research. In this new paradigm, earning the trust of African American com­munities becomes a systemic endeavor, with academic, state, and national institutions deeply committed to earning the trust of African American communities and guiding researchers in this endeavor. The findings also generated actionable recommendations to help improve representation of African American older adults in dementia research.Ethn Dis. 2020;30(Suppl 2):719-734; doi:10.18865/ed.30.S2.719
Lessons from my Elders on Recruitment and Retention into Health Research
Authors: Harawa Nina T.
Published: November 2020

In this brief report, the author shares les­sons from Loretta Jones, MA and William Jenkins, PhD, two elders who shaped her research with communities that occupy intersecting marginalized categories. These lessons were echoed and amplified by the community panelists at the RCMAR workshop on recruitment and retention of diverse elders. They include centering the priorities of communities themselves, help­ing community members envision the types of positive transformations that research can help bring about, engaging and valuing the contributions of diverse sectors of the com­munity, and recognizing the desire of aging individuals and communities to leave a leg­acy. Because heath care, research, and gov­ernmental institutions have engendered so much mistrust in racial/ethnic minority com­munities, researchers must learn first the particular histories and experience of the populations they intend to study. Equipped with this knowledge, cultural humility, and a willingness to listen, researchers can then use these strategies to earn the trust neces­sary for successful recruitment and retention in research.

Suburbanisation as a factor in increasing life expectancy
Authors: Pandas Anastasiia
Published: November 2020

The range of various options for the development of the suburban territory in the area of agglomeration is extremely wide. It covers both traditional forms of inclusion of suburban space in the city’s sphere of life, as well as new ways of interaction between the city and the suburbs. In this paper, we consider a specific form of spatial organisation — suburbia and its impact on the quality of life and, as a result, on the life expectancy of the population.The purpose of the article is to study the modem process of suburbanisation, as a phenomenon and its impact on increasing the life expectancy of the population, analyse the conceptual apparatus in the concept of lifestyle, and consider a complex of problematic issues of the urban environment that pose a risk to public health. We research the positive and negative effects of suburbanisation and identify the main factors influencing the suburbanisation process.To solve the problems, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, systematisation, comparison, rating.It is shown that the management of the processes of the formation of human habitat is now the most important, and perhaps the main task, without the solution of which it is impossible to effectively ensure optimal conditions for a person.

Published: November 2020

A denevérek rejtőzködő, éjszakai állatok, ezért nehéz vizuális adatokat gyűjteni jelenlétükről. Ultrahangjaik rögzítésével és elemzésével azonban nagy mennyiségű információ nyerhető életmódjukról és fajösszetételükről. Az első magyarországi, denevérek felmérésére irányuló „citizen science” projekt célja egy önkéntesbázis kialakítása, valamint új adatok gyűjtése volt Budapest denevérfaunájáról. Felmérésünkben 34 önkéntes segítségével hat denevérfaj biztos jelenlétét mutattuk ki Budapest bel-, és külterületéről, illetve a környező településekről. Leggyakoribbnak a rőt koraidenevér (Nyctalus noctula), az alpesi denevér (Hypsugo savii) és a fehérszélű törpedenevér (Pipistrellus kuhlii) bizonyult. Vizsgálatunk az első, mely felhívja a figyelmet az utóbbi két faj tömeges budapesti előfordulására. Tanulmányunkban összefoglaljuk a közösségi felmérés tapasztalatait, és javaslatokat fogalmazunk meg a jövőbeni felmérésekre vonatkozóan.

Természetvédelmi szakemberek és kutatók eurázsiai hóddal kapcsolatos tudásanyagát vizsgáltuk interjúk segítségével. Tanulmányunk első részében a hód elterjedésével, életnyomaival, az együttélés lehetőségeivel és az elhullás okaival foglalkoztunk (Juhász et al. 2019). A második részben a hód életmódjával, valamint az ismeretterjesztéssel és a helyi lakosok adatközlők által érzékelt tudáshiányával kapcsolatos kérdésekre kapott válaszokat mutatjuk be. Az adatközlők 26 nemzetség fásszárú fajainak hasznosítását, 19 lágyszárú taxon fogyasztását és 15 lágyszárú taxon hódgátba, hódvárba való beépítését figyelték meg. Segítségükkel részletes információkat gyűjtöttünk a faj gátépítési, várépítési és élőhelyválasztási szokásainak élőhelyi adottságokkal való összefüggéseiről. Ezen információk jól kiegészíthetik a terepi felmérések eredményét, valamint segíthetik egyes jelenségek jobb megismerését és újabb terepi kutatások megalapozását. A helyi emberek tudásanyaga kapcsán az adatközlők által érzékelt hiányosságok rávilágítanak arra, hogy hóddal kapcsolatos ismereteket is érdemes a vizes élőhelyekről szóló általános ismeretterjesztésbe belefoglalni.

A nyugati földikutyák, Nannospalax (superspecies leucodon) Magyarország legveszélyeztetettebb emlősállatai közé tartoznak. Sajátos életmódjuk miatt megőrzésük különösen nehéz feladatot jelent a természetvédelem számára. 2013 óta összesen négy áttelepítés történt, amelyek célja új populációk létrehozása, így az állományok számának növelése, ezáltal pedig a földikutyák természetvédelmi helyzetének, hosszútávú fennmaradásuk esélyeinek javítása volt. Az áttelepítések – kezdő évük szerinti sorrendben – Bagamér (2013), Pocsaj (2015), Öttömös (2016) és Baja (2017) települések közelében történtek. Az egyes akciók sikerességének értékelése mellett igyekeztünk magyarázatot találni az áttelepítések eredményessége között megfigyelhető jelentős különbségekre is. Az áttelepítés helyszínének sajátságai éppolyan fontos befolyásoló tényezőnek bizonyultak, mint az előzetesen kidolgozott protokoll pontos követése. Reményeink szerint a bemutatott eredmények hozzájárulnak a jövőbeli sikeres akciók végrehajtásához.
The Implementation of Contractor Safety Management System to Prevent Work Accidents at Coal Mining Company
Authors: Amalina Nadia Nur , Larasati Hanum Elok
Published: November 2020

Introduction: The coal mining company is a company that plays an important role in the Indonesia’ economy, but it is one of the high potential risk industry because most of its activities are carried out by contractors who generally undisciplined and have a lack understanding of Occupational Safety and Health. To solve this problem, the Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) program must be conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of CSMS program in a coal mining company in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a coal mining company in South Kalimantan in 2017 and analyzed descriptively. The CSMS stages and its program were obtained by direct observation using checklist sheets and study documents. Results: The CSMS procedure at the coal mining company started with risk assessment, pre-qualification, qualification, pre-work, monitoring and evaluation activities.

Challenges and Opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises in Eastern Indonesia in Facing the COVID-19 Pandemic and the New Normal Era
Authors: Irawan Andri
Published: November 2020

Eastern Indonesia is one of the areas affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) such as; culinary businesses are the business sector most affected by this pandemic, where the implementation of social restrictions has resulted in decreased income and also changes in business patterns. This condition certainly provides new challenges and opportunities for SMEs owners. The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges and opportunities of SMEs in eastern Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic and the new normal era. The study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory strategy. The results of the study found that to face the new normal era, SMEs have challenges such as the ability of human resources, understanding of information technology, and business model transformation. An interesting finding in this study is that in facing the new normal era, information technology is not a determining factor for increasing consumer trust and increasing income, but product hygiene and environmental sanitation are the determining factors for the existence of SMEs in eastern Indonesia.

Authors: SALCAN Sara , SARIKAYA Burak
Published: November 2020

Amaç: Sağlık hizmet sunumunda önemli bir yere sahip eczane çalışanlarının COVID-19 salgınında kaygı, uykusuzluk ve depresyon durumlarını tespit etmek amacıyla çalışma planlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma COVID-19 salgını sırasında il merkezinde bulunan tüm eczane çalışanlarına uygulanan kesitsel nitelikli anket çalışmasıdır. Bu çalışmada tüm katılımcılara demografik bilgiler içeren anket formu Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu-7 (YAB-7) Testi, uykusuzluk şiddet indeksi ve Hasta Sağlık Anketi – 9 (PHQ - 9) uygulandı. Bulgular: Çalışmada 126 eczane çalışanı katılmış olup bunların %45.2’si eczacılardan, %54.8’i diğer çalışanlardan oluşmuştur. Çalışma grubunun önemli bir kısmında anksiyete (%49.1), depresyon (%45.2) ve uykusuzluk (%52.4) problemleri vardı. Daha önce ruhsal hastalık geçirme öyküsü, enfekte olma korkusu, iş yükü artışı olanlarda ve hastayla karşılaşma ihtimalini yüksek görenlerde anksiyete, depresyon ve uykusuzluk puanları anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Araştırma grubumuzda eczacı olanlarda olmayanlara göre anksiyete, depresyon ve uykusuzluk durumları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmada COVID-19 pandemi sırasında eczane çalışanlarında orta düzeyde anksiyete, depresyon ve uykusuzluk durumu geliştiği görülmüştür. Eczane çalışanlarının literatürde bildirilen sağlık çalışanlarına yakın düzeyde ölçek puanlarına sahip olması, hastanede çalışmasa da bu grupta da risk artışı olduğunu göstermektedir. Planlanan tüm psikososyal girişimlerde hastane dışında çalışan ve sağlık hizmeti veren eczane personelide göz önüne alınmalıdır.

Anthocyanins are extracted from grape skins during maceration and are responsible for the red colour of wine. Their contribution to in-mouth sensations is mainly related to their interactions with condensed tannins, which are largely responsible for wine astringency and mouthfeel-related features. Recently, the influence of several groups of polyphenols, together with other relevant non-phenolic wine constituents,was investigated in terms of their ability to modify the sensory perception of condensed tannins. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of three acylation groups of anthocyanins (glucoside, acetylglucoside, and p-coumaroylglucoside) extracted from grape skins on in-mouth related features. An extract of total anthocyanins and their individual fractions were tasted using different sensory approaches (triangle test, check-all-that apply and descriptive analysis) and compared to polyphenols extracted from grape skins and seeds. The investigated sensations were overall astringency and astringency sub-qualities, which were divided into two groups: sensation during tasting (in-mouth, particulates) and sensation after expectoration (surface smoothness). Bitterness was also studied. Anthocyanin fractions were added to skin and seed extracts and tasted as mixtures to find out if anthocyanins modify in-mouth perception. Although the anthocyanin fractions showed a low sensory impact, total anthocyanins and the glucoside fraction were perceived at the concentration ranges found in wines (400 mg/L), and they were found to influence astringency intensity and soft astringency sub-qualities, such as “velvety” and “chalky”. The addition of glucoside anthocyanin (400 mg/L) to skin and seed extract (1000 mg/L) modified in-mouth perception; in particular, seed extract was perceived as being more astringent and was characterised by harsher astringency sub-qualities (surface smoothness and particulates). In contrast, the addition of glucoside anthocyanin to the skin extract led to lower surface smoothness, although the intensity of overall astringency was unchanged. These results confirm that the presence of anthocyanins can modify the perception of in-mouth sensations and interact to different extents with other polyphenols, thus leading to the modification of the intensity of astringency and its sub-qualities.
