Published: August 2021

Existem diversas áreas da Ciência da Computação que têm como ponto principal o estudo de desempenho de sistemas computacionais, seja para a construção de softwares com desempenho, como para estimar o desempenho de sistemas. Exemplos dessas áreas são: Avaliação de Desempenho, Engenharia de Desempenho de Software, Teste de Desempenho de Software e Estudos Experimentais. Porém, não existe na literatura um trabalho que unifique ou mesmo relacione os conceitos e metodologias por elas abordados. Neste contexto, este artigo descreve como essas áreas podem ser relacionadas, estudo este que servirá de base para a definição de uma ontologia.

A Novel Design of Interval Type-2 Neuro-Fuzzy Controller for Flexible Structure
Authors: TINKIR Mustafa , KALYONCU Mete , SEZGEN Hasmet
Published: August 2021

The aim of this research is to develop a novel design of interval type-2 neuro-fuzzy (IT2NF) controller for active vibration control of a flexible structure during an earthquake. For this purpose, two adaptive neural network based fuzzy logic controllers are designed and combined to create the novel design of an IT2NF controller to reduce the vibrations of two-storey flexible building model that occur during earthquake disturbance effects. Accordingly, dynamic modeling of a flexible structure is realized and simulated using the MATLAB / SimMechanics. Then, an experimental setup consisting of two-storey flexible structure, active mass damper (AMD) and shaker is established. Additionally, IT2NF controller is implemented in simulation and experimental models, and the effectiveness and performance of the IT2NF controller are tested under the scaled Northridge Earthquake acceleration. The obtained simulations and experimental responses are evaluated in terms of cart displacements, deflections, and accelerations of the flexible floors showing a good agreement between the simulations and the experimental results. The results show that the designed novel IT2NF controller reduced the total deflections of first and second floor by 72.3% and 68.7%, respectively, when compared with the uncontrolled system. Additionally, it is also found that the designed IT2NF controller is able to reduce the accelerations of the first and second floor by 64.8% and 54.6%, respectively. The proposed and designed control method reported in this study can be employed as an active vibration controller for multi-degree of freedom of flexible systems under the disturbances such as earthquake excitations.
Femizide – Zur strafrechtlichen Bewertung von trennungsbedingten Tötungsdelikten an Intimpartnerinnen
Authors: Schuchmann Inga , Steinl Leonie
Published: August 2021

Die zivilgesellschaftliche Bewegung zur Bekämpfung von Femiziden ist ein weltweites Phänomen, das in Südamerika seinen Ausgang nahm. In Deutschland erfahren die mit ihr verknüpften Forderungen seit zwei Jahren verstärkt mediale Aufmerksamkeit. Die Diskussion schlägt mittlerweile hohe Wellen. Spätestens seit im März dieses Jahres der Ausschuss für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend des Deutschen Bundestages über einen Antrag mit dem Titel „Femizide in Deutschland untersuchen, benennen und verhindern“ beriet, steht das Thema auch auf der rechtspolitischen Tagesordnung. Auffällig ist dabei, dass die Debatte über den Umgang mit Femiziden vor allem um die strafrechtliche Bewertung kreist. So betonte kürzlich auch Bundesjustizministerin Lambrecht, dass der strafrechtliche Umgang mit Femiziden in Deutschland weiterhin Probleme aufwerfe. Einer Gesetzesreform bedürfe es zwar nicht. Allerdings müssten die zur Verfügung stehenden rechtlichen Mittel besser eingesetzt und Angehörige der Justiz für die geschlechtsbezogene Dimension der Taten stärker sensibilisiert werden. Teilweise wird demgegenüber die Einführung eines eigenen Femizid-Straftatbestandes nach dem Vorbild einiger lateinamerikanischer Länder gefordert. Andere wiederum vertreten die Auffassung, dass bereits keine hinreichend präzise Definition des Begriffs Femizid existiere und die mit ihm verbundene Kritik als Ausdruck „abstrakter gesellschaftspolitischer Theorien und vorurteilsorientierter moralischer Empörung“ verfehlt sei. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich der strafrechtlichen Bewertung von Femiziden in der Gestalt von Trennungstötungen. Dabei sollen zunächst Begriff und Erscheinungsformen von Femiziden analysiert (I.) und in den übergeordneten Kontext geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt gegen Frauen eingeordnet werden (II.), bevor die Relevanz des Konzepts Femizid für das Strafrecht ausgeleuchtet wird (III.). Hier wendet sich der Beitrag der strafrechtlichen Bewertung von trennungsbedingten Tötungsdelikten an Intimpartnerinnen als häufigster Form von Femiziden zu. Untersucht wird insbesondere, wann in solchen Fällen das Mordmerkmal der niedrigen Beweggründe zu bejahen ist. Dabei werden die aus der Perspektive eines geschlechtergerechten Strafrechts zu kurz greifenden Ansätze der Rechtsprechung und Literatur diskutiert. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass auch mit den Mitteln überkommener strafrechtlicher Dogmatik bisherige Unzulänglichkeiten im strafrechtlichen Umgang mit Femiziden beseitigt werden können.

Philosophie in der Welt und für die Welt – Realitätsbezüge einer Disziplin zweiter Ordnung
Authors: Scholz Oliver R.
Published: August 2021

According to a widely accepted conception, philosophy is essentially a second-order discipline raising second-order questions about the procedures and products of first-order reasonings (concepts; principles; theories etc.). While this conception has considerable prima facie plausibility and, carefully put, contains a grain of truth, it also invites serious misunderstandings that may be detrimental to an adequate understanding and public image of philosophy. To work out the grain of truth while avoiding the misunderstandings, I begin by asking: What is philosophical understanding? In answering this question, understanding in philosophy is compared and contrasted with everyday understanding, on the one hand, and scientific understanding, on the other hand. While philosophy itself is a scientific practice in a wide sense, in contrast to normal understanding within a special scientific discipline (physics; chemistry; biology; psychology; etc.) philosophical understanding is characterized by a particular critical attitude and particular principles of rational acceptability.
The European Court of Human Rights on the ‘Access to a Lawyer’ Directive 2013/48/EU: the Quest for a Coherent Application of the Right to a Legal Assistance in Europe?
Authors: Daminova Nasiya
Published: August 2021

The right to a custodial legal assistance has always been considered a key procedural guarantee in criminal proceedings, which allowed for the effective realisation of other ‘due process’ rights of the suspected or accused person. The ‘Access to a lawyer’ Directive 2013/48/EU is one of the outcomes of the massive legal reform which followed the famous Salduz ruling (2008), where the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) prominently stated that the accused shall be provided with assistance of counsel since the initial stages of police interrogation. At the same time, scholars have not paid attention to the possible effects of Directive 2013/48/EU on the practice of the Strasbourg Court. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the way the ‘Access to a lawyer’ Directive is perceived by the ECtHR, given the incredible uncertainty surrounding this issue. The author argues that - paradoxically - the Directive text seems to have had significant impact on the Ibrahim, Simeonovi, Beuze lines of reasoning, framing possible derogations from maximum guarantees of access to a lawyer stemming from the earlier Salduz judgement. Even though the ECtHR tends to avoid direct analysis of the Directive 2013/48/EU provisions, it seems to have accepted the lowest level of protection provided by this EU Law act. This could be rather problematic for the non-EU Convention signatories’ criminal justice systems, being encouraged to follow the standard of procedural guarantees stemming from the EU legal order - which these states preferred not to join (or were not allowed to join).
Geschichtlichkeit und Lebensverständnis
Authors: Kerkmann Jan
Published: August 2021

The guiding view of this thesis is that Heidegger's essential criticisms of Nietzsche can be inferred primarily from the "Auslegung der II. Unzeitgemäßen Betrachtung". At the beginning of his interpretation, Heidegger responds to the themes of the utility of science and the distinction between man and animal discussed in the "Historienschrift". Based on this, it is shown that Heidegger's transformation in the debate with Nietzsche is largely due to the insertion of justice into a will-determined 'metaphysics of life' developed in the seminar of 1938/39. Heidegger could have chosen interpretive options that would have relativised the primacy of the will to power.
Das große Fressen
Authors: Logemann Cornelia
Published: August 2021

Too many and overly plentiful meals create physical suffering. That is the message of an unusual allegorical tale of the 15th and 16th centuries about the scheming of a personified banquet for the life and limb of his guests, for which he pays with his life in the end. The material comes across as an imaginary description of a tapestry, as moral theatre and, after 1500, also as a series of rich tapestries. The tale questions and discusses the cultural idea of banquets according to the prevailing dietary guidelines of Ms Experience. Such issues about nutrition and the bad habits it can engender have not lost their relevance even today.
Gyraulus chinensis (Dunker, 1848) – a new greenhouse species for the Czech Republic (Gastropoda: Planorbidae)
Authors: Beran Luboš , Glöer Peter
Published: August 2021

Gyraulus chinensis (Dunker, 1848), a planorbid snail native to South and East Asia and living in small water bodies, has been found in two greenhouses, the first time in the Czech Republic. Its occurrence in other greenhouses in the Czech Republic is possible. Survival of this snail in nature is considered unlikely, but it might be possible in artificially heated environments
Povodí potoka Chotěbuzky – malakozoologicky zajímavé území na Těšínsku (Slezsko, Česká republika) [Chotěbuzka stream basin – a malacologically notable area in the Těšín region (Silesia, Czech Republic)]
Authors: Kupka Jiří
Published: August 2021

Snails of the Chotěbuzka stream basin were surveyed in 2005 by analysis flood debris. In total, 50 snail species were found. Comparisons with records elsewhere in the Těšín region show that this stream basin is very important for molluscs. The abandoned quarry of "Jeruzalém" in Stanislavice is the most favourable site for molluscs, since many stenotopic and endangered woodland species occur there (e.g. Oxychilus depressus, Daudebardia rufa). The presence of the snail Sphyradium doliolum (listed as "near threatened" in the Czech Red list) in the Czech part of the Těšín region is notable. The area of the abandoned quarry is not nowadays administered as a protected area, although it is very significant not only from a malacological viewpoint, but also geologically and floristically.
Mäkkýše hlavných typov vôd dolného Hrona [Mollusca in main water bodies in the lower Hron River, Slovakia]
Authors: Čejka Tomáš
Published: August 2021

The aim of this study is to describe the main types of water bodies in the lower Hron River (Slovakia) using Mollusca as ‘functional describers’ of the ecosystem dynamics. In European context, the Hron River belongs with its average discharge 53.7 m3.s–1 to small rivers; course length is 297 km. Major part of the alluvial plain exhibits strong human impact, though there are still relics of relatively well-preserved main successional stages of water bodies. The sampling (set-time period method) was stratified on the distribution of aquatic macrophytes (if presented). A total of 35 species was found alive (23 gastropods, 12 bivalves). The most constant species were Radix auricularia and Galba truncatula. In eupotamon, 13 species were found; characteristic species were Valvata piscinalis, Gyraulus albus, Unio pictorum, U. tumidus, Pisidium spp., Ancylus fluviatilis, and Radix peregra. In parapotamon, the bivalve Sphaerium corneum was a characteristic species, plesiopotamon had no characteristic species; for paleopotamon were characteristic Planorbis planorbis and Aplexa hypnorum, also a non-indigenous snail Physella acuta was constant. In anthropogenic water bodies no differentiative species were presented; the presence and dominance of Physella acuta is typical.
Měkkýši PR Velké Doly u Českého Těšína (Slezsko, Česká republika) [Molluscs of the Velké Doly Natural Reserve near the town of Český Těšín (Silesia, Czech Republic)]
Authors: Kupka Jiří
Published: August 2021

The molluscan fauna of the Velké Doly Natural Reserve was surveyed in 1999 and 2006. In total, 27 snail species were found (26 terrestrial gastropods and 1 bivalve). The Natural Reserve is only 1.5 km far from ironworks “Třinecké železárny”. In the 18th century, there was a limestone quarry and beech plantation (as a fuel for ironworks) in the reserve. At the present time the reserve represents the secondary forests society Tilio cordatae-Carpinetum with protected and regional notable plants in undergrowth (Cephalanthera damasonium, Lilium martagon, Arum alpinum, Hacquetia epipactis, etc). The present character of the Velké Doly Natural Reserve is a result of human activities, nevertheless it is preserved and favourable site for molluscs, since many stenotopic and endangered woodland species occur there (e.g. Discus perspectivus, Petasina unidentata, Oxychilus glaber). The presence of the vulnerable snail Discus perspectivus is notable as first locality in Poland part of Těšín region (the Natural Reserve Velké Doly is located on the Poland border). Occurrence of euryecious species Arion distinctus, Arion lusitanicus and Limax maximus could relate with some human impact (e.g. presence of allotted gardens colony).
A abordagem da cognição imaginativa e a teoria do desenvolvimento da capacidade criadora infantil: relações teóricas entre Efland e Lowenfeld acerca do processo de construção do desenho infantil
Authors: Alencar de Souza Kécia Maria , Ximenes de Lima José Maximiano Arruda
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a abordagem da cognição imaginativa, de Arthur Efland, e a teoria do desenvolvimento da capacidade criadora, de Viktor Lowenfeld, estabelecendo as contribuições dessas abordagens e a correlação entre elas, no que concerne ao estudo da capacidade criadora infantil por meio de desenhos. Para tal, ressalta-se que Arthur Efland ([2002] 2004) sugere uma abordagem baseada na imaginação, que utiliza metáforas e experiências de narrativas como recursos para comprovar que a imaginação é uma atividade de desenvolvimento cognitivo bem estruturada. Focaliza-se, também, as contribuições teóricas de Viktor Lowenfeld ([1947] 1977) acerca do desenvolvimento do desenho infantil por meio de etapas de acordo com as idades das crianças. Conclui-se que ambas teorias embasam a criação infantil, oportunizando o aparecimento de experiências com desenhos que trabalham a imaginação, a autonomia, a criatividade e o respeito à individualidade, consequentemente, favorecem o desenvolvimento integral das crianças.
Dando asas à imaginação: atravessamentos entre dança, infâncias e educação
Authors: Almeida Fernanda de Souza
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo, objetiva-se pensar criticamente sobre algumas características da alteridade infantil, como a transmutação e a imaginação, e sua relação com os processos formativos em dança para a Educação Infantil. Para tal, relaciona-se o campo da Dança e os estudos sociais da infância, como a Sociologia, a Filosofia e a Pedagogia na interface com as Artes, em interlocução com diversas experiências com crianças ao longo de andanças investigativas vinculadas a projetos de pesquisa e de extensão desenvolvidos a partir de 2016. Esse exercício de pensamento aponta que, para fortalecer as relações entre Dança e Educação Básica, é necessário fortificar as relações entre Dança e Educação Infantil. Nesse sentido, faz-se emergente investir numa formação docente que retome e mantenha o frescor das metáforas, da qualidade onírica e do lúdico para que a/o profissional se entenda cada vez mais professor/a de crianças.

Consequences of Coronavirus as a Predictor of Emotional Security among Mothers of Children with Intellectual Disabilities
Authors: Abuzaid Suad M.O.
Published: August 2021

Parents of children with intellectual disability (ID) suffer from comparatively emotional insecurity compared to parents of children without ID, especially during periods of crisis, such as the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the consequences of Coronavirus as a predictor of emotional security among mothers of children with intellectual disabilities. Mothers of children with intellectual disabilities were considered for data collection. The study group of the research consists of 120 mothers who have children with intellectual disabilities. They aged 23-55 years, (M= 43.23, SE=0.075). Consequences of Coronavirus Questionnaire (CCQ-20) and Emotional Security Scale (ESS-20) were used to collect and analyze data. For this study, quantitative survey research was employed. The independent variable is the consequences of Coronavirus, and emotional security is the dependent variable. The independent variable is the consequences of Coronavirus, and emotional security is the dependent variable. To test the hypotheses of the study, Pearson correlation and Linear regression analysis were conducted. Findings indicate that the independent variable (Coronavirus) contributed to the prediction of emotional security among mothers of children with intellectual disabilities. Findings of the current study indicate that the greater the Consequences of Corona, the less emotionally secure the mother is likely to feel during the COVID-19 lockdown in Saudi Arabia.

HONOLULU
Authors: Møllegaard Kirsten
Published: August 2021

In the grand narrative of Honolulu as the

gateway to the Land of Aloha, Honolulu

metaphorically negotiates a position that

mediates the contrasts between a typical

socio-economic, urban reality and touristic

myths of pastoral excoticism. Drawing on

the critical works of postcolonial scholar

Edward Said in conjunction with theories

on semiotics and tourism, the article posits

that two main factors contribute to reinforce

and repeat the (neo)-colonial paradigm’s

persistence in the grand narrative

on Hawaii – namely aloha and nostalgia.

Aloha functions conceptually as a unifying,

pacifying force amongst the local

population, while it defines the tourist

gaze on Hawaii as a welcoming and politically

uncomplicated holiday destination.

Nostalgia, on the other hand, is the

ideological interpretation of the past based

on utopian desires in the present. Conjoined,

aloha and nostalgia favor the

tourist gaze and continue the hegemonic

processes that colonize the minds of

tourists and locals alike.

SKOPJE
Authors: Schwartz Jonathan
Published: August 2021

The article explores some of the ways in

which the citizens and officials of the

Republic of Macedonia commemorated on

July 26, 2003 the 40th anniversary of the

earthquake that destroyed much of Skopje,

the capital city of the Republic. The fragile

Republic in the center of the Balkans also

commemorated during the same week the

100th anniversary of the failed Ilinden

uprising against Ottoman Turkish rule,

August 2, 1903. The study aims at connecting

diverse expressions of how a

particular society remembers its disasters

and attempts to turn them towards redemption.

The Macedonian sociologist,

Ilja Acheski, used the term “permanent

earthquake” to describe the social fragmentation

of his city in the aftermath of

the 1963 earthquake. The article represents

an extensive commentary on this

theme. One of the characteristic responses

during the earthquake memorial was

nostalgic, perhaps “Jugonostalgic”. Several

people stressed to the ethnographer

how the world society – in the midst of

the Cold War – cooperated to help Skopje

during its moment of need. At the unveiling

of a monumental sculpture of a

suffering woman, who is meant to symbolize

Skopje, an older man told me how

America and Russia joined to help Skopje

in 1963. The commemoration of Skopje’s

earthquake, therefore, made it possible to

acknowledge once again the personal

leadership of Tito for his “Brotherhood

and Unity” policy and for his skill at

uniting East and West. Most of the article,

however, does not dwell on the site of the

monument. The author takes long walks

in Topaana, a Roma “slum”, Cair, a neighboring

Albanian “village”, and Lisece, a

Macedonian “barracks” suburb. This last

named site is one of the working-class

suburbs where the wooden frame houses

were built as contributions from abroad

to rehouse the victims made homeless by

the earthquake.

STREGKODER, SPAREGRISE OG BARNEDÅB: Det islandske selv i entreprenørskab og navngivning
Authors: Heijnen Adriënne
Published: August 2021

This article departs from the dualistic theory pre-eminent in anthropology that

there is a western and a non-Western notion of personhood: the „individual“

versus the „dividual“ (Strathern 1988). Recently, attempts are made to transcend

this dualism by emphasizing rationality and individualism in non-Western notions

of personhood, while the Western individualistic and rational notion of personhood

is left unchallenged. The author integrates analyses of Icelandic entrepreneurship

and of namegiving of Icelandic children and argues that the Icelandic notion of

personhood simultaneously allows for being „individual“ and „dividual“. Thus,

the article challenges established conceptions of the Western person.
‘KULTUR’ OG ‘MØDE’: Gensyn med amerikanske akkulturationsstudier 1936-1963
Authors: Veber Hanne
Published: August 2021

The author traces the conceptualization of culture contact that emerged in

American anthropology in the early 20th century and became the focus of ample

investigative initiatives in the decades before and after World War II – only to

vanish into blue air in the 1960s, leaving barely a fingerprint in the textbooks of

the 21st century. Based on the published reports from research seminars on

acculturation in the 1930s and -50s, the author exposes the concepts of culture

contact and change in the heyday of these studies and considers the problems

they posed to the scholars. At the outset, fieldwork and the importance of a

historical perspective had been stressed as the bases for understanding crosscultural

dynamics. Yet, emphasis gradually shifted to synchronic functional studies,

resulting in a ‘theoretical lag’, as some leading scholars saw it. Comparative

research allowed the formulation of preliminary typologies, the major ones being

‘incorporation’, ‘assimilation’, ‘fusion’, and ‘compartmentalization’. From these

typologies more specialized vocabulary developed. Scholars began to realize that

the generalizations which emerged had to do with types of contact conditions

rather than types of culture, but most of them hesitated to follow up on this point.

They disagreed over the definition of culture as an autonomous system that a

majority ascribed to, while dissidents felt that the idea of seeing culture as an

entity independent of the human beings was counterproductive to analysis of

processes of cross-cultural contact and change. The ambitious grand scale acculturation

research plan gradually withered. It never attained a hypothesis or a

paradigm sufficiently clear-cut to inspire continuing investigation. Some scholars

had become aware that unequal power relations made a salient characteristic of

contact situations and trajectories, but at the height of the Cold War, they hesitated

to pursue this issue. Eventually the preoccupation with acculturation faded away,

and scholars moved into other areas of anthropological research.

A escola confessional: entre o desafio de preservar a missão e a necessidade de inovar o desenvolvimento de valores na educação. Um estudo em Portugal e no Brasil, na Rede Marista de Educação
Authors: Alves Feitosa Ceciliany , Teixeira Antonio Moreira
Published: August 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar parte dos resultados obtidos na investigação realizada no programa de doutoramento em educação, pela Universidade Aberta de Portugal, no período entre 2016 a 2019, tendo como tema: A Escola Confessional – O Desafio de Preservar a Missão e o Desenvolvimento de Valores na Educação – Um Estudo na Rede Marista. Buscou-se compreender o desafio de preservar a missão e o desenvolvimento de valores no âmbito da educação confessional. O estudo foi desenvolvido em Portugal e no Brasil, em duas escolas da Rede Marista de Educação, sendo uma localizada na cidade de São Paulo e outra em Lisboa. Utilizou-se uma metodologia mista de análise de dados quantitativos e qualitativos, obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas para a liderança da instituição e de inquérito por questionário aplicado ao corpo docente.

Although virtually all gene networks are predicted to be controlled by miRNAs, the contribution of this important layer of gene regulation to tissue homeostasis in adult animals remains unclear. Gain and loss-of-function experiments have provided key insights into the specific function of individual miRNAs, but effective genetic tools to study the functional consequences of global inhibition of miRNA activity in vivo are lacking. Here we report the generation and characterization of a genetically engineered mouse strain in which miRNA-mediated gene repression can be reversibly inhibited without affecting miRNA biogenesis or abundance. We demonstrate the usefulness of this strategy by investigating the consequences of acute inhibition of miRNA function in adult animals. We find that different tissues and organs respond differently to global loss of miRNA function. While miRNA-mediated gene repression is essential for the homeostasis of the heart and the skeletal muscle, it is largely dispensable in the majority of other organs. Even in tissues where it is not required for homeostasis, such as the intestine and hematopoietic system, miRNA activity can become essential during regeneration following acute injury. These data support a model where many metazoan tissues primarily rely on miRNA function to respond to potentially pathogenic events.

In recent years, the traditional approach to spatial image steganalysis has shifted to deep learning (DL) techniques, which have improved the detection accuracy while combining feature extraction and classification in a single model, usually a convolutional neural network (CNN). The main contribution from researchers in this area is new architectures that further improve detection accuracy. Nevertheless, the preprocessing and partition of the database influence the overall performance of the CNN. This paper presents the results achieved by novel steganalysis networks (Xu-Net, Ye-Net, Yedroudj-Net, SR-Net, Zhu-Net, and GBRAS-Net) using different combinations of image and filter normalization ranges, various database splits, different activation functions for the preprocessing stage, as well as an analysis on the activation maps and how to report accuracy. These results demonstrate how sensible steganalysis systems are to changes in any stage of the process, and how important it is for researchers in this field to register and report their work thoroughly. We also propose a set of recommendations for the design of experiments in steganalysis with DL.

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of dietary level and ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids (FA) on growth, disease progression and expression of immune and inflammatory markers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) following challenge with Paramoeba perurans. Fish (80 g) were fed four different diets with different ratios of n-6/n-3 FA; at 1.3, 2.4 and 6.0 and one diet with ratio of 1.3 combined with a higher level of n-3 FA and n-6 FA. The diet with the n-6/n-3 FA ratio of 6.0 was included to ensure potential n-6 FA effects were revealed, while the three other diets were more commercially relevant n-6/n-3 FA ratios and levels. After a pre-feeding period of 3 months, fish from each diet regime were challenged with a standardized laboratory challenge using a clonal culture of P. perurans at the concentration of 1,000 cells L−1. The subsequent development of the disease was monitored (by gross gill score), and sampling conducted before challenge and at weekly sampling points for 5 weeks post-challenge. Challenge with P. perurans did not have a significant impact on the growth of the fish during the challenge period, but fish given the feed with the highest n-6/n-3 FA ratio had reduced growth compared to the other groups. Total gill score for all surfaces showed a significant increase with time, reaching a maximum at 21 days post-challenge and declined thereafter, irrespective of diet groups. Challenge with P. perurans influenced the mRNA expression of examined genes involved in immune and inflammatory response (TNF-α, iNOS, IL4-13b, GATA-3, IL-1β, p53, COX2 and PGE2-EP4), but diet did not influence the gene expression. In conclusion, an increase in dietary n-6/n-3 FA ratio influenced the growth of Atlantic salmon challenged with P. perurans; however, it did not alter the mRNA expression of immune genes or progression of the disease.

Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and Exendin-4 (EX-4) play beneficial roles in promoting periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) osteogenic differentiation, while the detailed mechanism has not been clarified. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biological mechanism of SDF-1 and EX-4 alone or synergistic application in regulating PDLSCs differentiation by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). A total of 110, 116 and 109 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were generated in osteogenic medium induced PDLSCs treated by SDF-1, EX-4, and SDF-1+EX-4, respectively. The DEGs in SDF-1 group were enriched in signal transduction related signaling pathways; the DEGs in EX-4 group were enriched in metabolism and biosynthesis-related pathways; and the DEGs generated in SDF-1+EX-4 group were mainly enriched in RNA polymerase II transcription, cell differentiation, chromatin organization, protein phosphorylation pathways. Based on Venn analysis, a total of 37 specific DEGs were identified in SDF-1+EX-4 group, which were mainly enriched in negative regulation of autophagy and cellular component disassembly signaling pathways. Short time-series expression miner (STEM) analysis grouped all expressed genes of PDLSCs into 49 clusters according to the dynamic expression patterns and 25 genes, including NRSN2, CHD9, TUBA1A, distributed in 10 gene clusters in SDF-1+EX-4 treated PDLSCs were significantly up-regulated compared with the SDF-1 and EX-4 alone groups. The gene set enrichment analysis indicated that SDF-1 could amplify the role of EX-4 in regulating varied signaling pathways, such as type II diabetes mellitus and insulin signaling pathways; while EX-4 could aggravate the effect of SDF-1 on PDLSCs biological roles via regulating primary immunodeficiency, tight junction signaling pathways. In summary, our study confirmed that SDF-1 and EX-4 combined application could enhance PDLSCs biological activity and promote PDLSCs osteogenic differentiation by regulating the metabolism, biosynthesis and immune-related signaling pathways.

Purpose: This study was done to develop and validate a scale for assessing nursing needs on comprehensive nursing care units and to derive a patient classification system based on nursing needs.Methods: In this methodological study, the initial items were identified through a review of the literature and surveys from nursing staff regarding the nursing needs on comprehensive nursing care units. Content validity was evaluated by nine nursing staff members from comprehensive nursing care units. To evaluate the concurrent validity and derive a patient classification system, nursing needs scores, perceived nursing needs and perceived patient severity for 216 patient cases were evaluated by five nurses. These data were analyzed using Pearson‘s correlation coefficients, one-way ANOVA with Scheffépost hoc tests and K-means clustering.Results: After evaluating content validity, the developed scale contained 64 activities in two domains: nursing intervention and assistance of daily living. Concurrent validity was verified by analyzing the differences in the nursing needs scores according to each group of perceived nursing needs and severity (p<.001) and by analyzing the correlation between the score of the developed scale and the National Health Insurance Service nursing need assessment scale (r=.68, p<.001). Based on the score of the developed scale, a patient classification system that classified nursing needs into four stages was derived.Conclusion: The developed scale represented nursing activities in comprehensive nursing care units. It also provided specific data regarding the time spent on nursing activities. Therefore, it is expected to contribute toward establishing appropriate nurse staffing strategies to provide quality patient care.

Published: August 2021

Introduction: Breast diseases in paediatric and adolescence are unusual. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) has an important role in triaging breast masses, more so in younger population, wherein preoperative accurate diagnosis has significant impact on selecting and planning treatment. Role of FNAC in breast lesions amongst children and adolescents has not been explored much. Aim: To study the role of FNAC in diagnosis of breast lesions in children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2017 to May 2019 at Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, Mandya, Karnataka, India. All the patients presenting with breast lesion aged below 21 years, referred to FNAC clinic during this period were included in the study. The diagnoses were categorised as inflammatory, benign, atypia, suspicious and malignant. Cytohistopathology concordance was attempted wherever possible. Analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 17.0. Results: Out of total 45 cases, 37 (82.22%) were females and 8 (17.78%) were males. Breast lesions in paediatric and adolescents accounted for 15.20% (45/296) of total breast FNAC performed during the study period. The morphologic spectrum seen most commonly was fibroadenoma (FA) 62.22% (2-8/45), benign breast disease 8.88% (4/45), mastitis 4.44% (2/45). Morphologic variations observed in FA were epithelial hyperplasia 32.14% (9/28), cystic change 28.57% (8/28), hyper cellular stoma 21.42% (6/28), multinucleate giant cells 32.14% (9/28), apocrine change 14.28% (4/28), adenosis 10.71% (3/28), columnar cell change 10.71% (3/28), squamous metaplasia 3.57% (1/28) and atypia 3.57%(1/28). Histopathologic correlation was obtained in 31 cases (68.88%). Overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was found to be 50, 100%, 100%, 96.6%, 96.77%, respectively. Conclusion: Majority of the breast lesions in paediatric and adolescents are benign in nature with FA being the most common. FNAC had high specificity and diagnostic accuracy, thereby establishing its role in selecting appropriate treatment for this age group of patients.

Introduction: Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin found in a considerable number of normal tissues and malignant neoplasms. It was found to be expressed in few thyroid tumours particularly follicular and papillary tumours. Lectins were found to be released in circulation and increased concentration was noted in colorectal cancers especially in metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma. Different types of galectins are expressed in normal colonic and rectal epithelium. Some types do increases in inflammation and cancers of these areas. It was seen that galectin-3 increases in colorectal tumourigenesis and it bears an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. Galectin-3 seems to have an important role in colorectal cancer. Some studies proved that galectin inhibitors could reduce tumour progression and metastasis and it may be a therapeutic target in metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Aim: To evaluate colon cancer specimens received for biopsy, for galectin-3 expression and its relation with tumour stage, lymphovascular space invasion and tumour differentiation. Materials and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional observational study conducted in the Department of Pathology of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital from November 2018 to November 2019. It was an immunohistochemistry based assay performed to test the expression levels of galectin-3 in cancer tissues of 62 colorectal neoplasms with the help of galectin-3 primary antibody (mouse monoclonal antibody- clone 9C4). Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19.0. Results: Out of 62 cases, 60 cases were colorectal adenocarcinoma and 2 cases were adenoma with age group between 40-75 years. Total 46 cases had cancer in caecum and ascending colon and rest were in recto-sigmoid colon. A 36/60 cases (60%) of cancer tissues were positive for galectin-3 expression. Strong association of lymphovascular space invasion (p=0.046) and depth of tumour (p=0.0078) with galectin positivity in colon carcinoma was noted. Conclusion: Evaluation of galectin-3 expression is helpful in the assessment of tumour staging and prognosis in colorectal cancer patients. It may have a therapeutic implication in the management of colon cancer in future.
