Authors: Sai Mounika V. Pavani , Mahalakshmi B. , Rao CH. Srinivasa , Kumar C. Naresh
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Tinea corporis (Ringworm) is a form of Dermatophytosis, which is a supercial fungal infection involving the
trunk, legs, arms, commonly seen in countries like India. Although it is non-invasive and curable, its widespread nature
and recurrence rates impose an economic burden on society in developing countries like India. This study aims at isolating different species
causing this infection and studying their clinical patterns.
Method: The study included the samples from the outpatients attending the Dermatology department of SVRRGGH, Tirupati, who were
suspected of having Tinea corporis based on the clinical details, during the period from August 2018 to August 2019. The scrapings are examined
by KOH mount and inoculated on Sabouraud's Dextrose agar and Dermatophyte test medium. The species are identied by colony morphology,
Lactophenol cotton blue mount, biochemical reactions and standard procedures.
Results: Out of 110 samples, overall positivity on direct microscopy is 78.2% (82), for Culture is 38.2%(42) and positive for both KOH and
Culture are 38(34%). Out of 7 species isolated, the commonest isolate is Trichophyton mentagrophytes 19(45%), followed by Trichophyton
rubrum 12(28%).
Conclusion: Tinea corporis infections are more common in the 16-30 years age group, most of the patients belonging to low socioeconomic
status with male predominance. Trichophyton species are commonly isolated from lesions in the waist and lower limbs, while Microsporum
species from lesions on lower limbs. T. mentagrophytes was found to be the most common isolate and T. rubrum in case of extensive lesions.

Authors: D.R Manasa , Sadananjali Sadananjali , Yadgude Ramkrishna
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Low level of haemoglobin during pregnancy has been associated with many adverse effects to both
maternal & fetal outcomes like low birth weight, preterm, abortions, still born and many more. Since the study was not
done regarding prevalence of anemia among pregnant women at PHC Ankalagi, Belagavi, the study was undertaken.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women and to determine the anemic status based on maternal age group, BMI
& parity index.
Methodology: A retrospective study was done from 2017 April to May 2020 April for a period of three years at PHC, Ankalagi, Belagavi. Over
718 pregnant women were enrolled. Regular ANC was done. Data was collected on Maternal Age, Body mass Index (BMI), Number of parity
and Socio-economic determinants. A hemoglobin level was done for all trimesters. Hemoglobin levels were estimated by Sahil's
hemoglobinometer method.
Results: Mean age was 18±39 yrs. Prevalence of anemia among pregnant women was 60.30%. Nearly 347(48.32%) were mild anemic (Hb: 9-
10.9g/L), 84(11.69%) were moderately anemic(Hb :7-8.9g/L) & 8(1.11%)were severe anemic (Hb :<7g/L). Increased anemic prevalence
showed in the maternal age group between 31-35years (96%) and in group of underweight of about 84% and in the parity with gravid 6&7
(100%).
Conclusion: High prevalence of anemia was found at PHC Ankalagi & more prevalent showed in the age group between 31-35years & with
underweight category & with parity index 6&7 respectively, which is an indicator of poor nutritional status and health care utilisation. It is one of
the preventable causes which can decrease the maternal & fetal mortality. Should reinforce the health education from adolescent girls, with
regular antenatal check up and active participation of ASHA workers.

Objective: To diagnose the various types of Mullerian abnormalities using different modalities and to nd out its
prevalence among infertile women. Method: A prospective study was conducted on 200 infertile women attending the
outpatient and inpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Swaroop Rani Nehru hospital and kamla Nehru Hospital of MLN medical
College,Prayagraj during the year 2019-2020. Hysterosalpingography, 3 D ultrasonography and hysterolaparoscopy was used as diagnostic
modalities to nd the prevalence of mullerian anomalies among infertile women of age group of 20 to 40 years. A total of 18 cases (9%) Results:
were diagnosed to have mullerian anomalies which included 7 cases of partial septate uterus(3.5%), 2 cases (1%) each of complete
septate,partial bicornuate and arcuate uterus respectively, 1 case(0.5%) each of agenesis, didelphys, complete bicornuate,unicornuate-non
communicant and unicornuate without horn respectively. Conclusion: Prevalence of Mullerian anomalies in our study was 9% among infertile
women, partial septate being the most common. Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy was best investigation(sensitivity=100%,
specicity=100%,PPV=100%,NPV=100%). 3D ultrasonography ,being non-invasive and more convenient was stongly comparable to
hysterolaparoscopy( kappa value=0.906) than to hysterosalpingography( kappa value=0.660).
Quantum Speedup for Index Modulation
Authors: Ishikawa Naoki
Published: May 2021

This letter presents a quantum-assisted index modulation for next-generation IoT wireless networks. The NP-hard index selection problem is first formulated by a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem consisting of constraints of feasible solutions. To minimize the number of qubits required for a quantum circuit, this formulation is then simplified by a dictionary-based approach that partially exploits a classical computer. It is observed that the Grover adaptive search can provide the quantum speedup for the index selection problem. This promising result implies that a future fault-tolerant quantum computer may be useful for solving optimization problems encountered in wireless communications.
On the Secrecy Rate of Downlink NOMA in Underlay Spectrum Sharing with Imperfect CSI
Authors: Kumar Vaibhav , Flanagan Mark F. , B. da Costa Daniel , Tran Le-Nam
Published: May 2021

In this paper, we present the ergodic sum secrecy rate (ESSR) analysis of an underlay spectrum sharing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. We consider the scenario where the power transmitted by the secondary transmitter (ST) is constrained by the peak tolerable interference at multiple primary receivers (PRs) as well as the maximum transmit power of the ST. The effect of channel estimation error is also taken into account in our analysis. We derive exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions for the ESSR of the downlink NOMA system, and show that the performance can be classified into two distinct regimes, i.e., it is dictated either by the interference constraint or by the power constraint. Our results confirm the superiority of the NOMA-based system over its orthogonal multiple access (OMA) based counterpart. More interestingly, our results show that NOMA helps in maintaining the secrecy rate of the strong user while significantly enhancing the secrecy performance of the weak user as compared to OMA. The correctness of the proposed investigation is corroborated through Monte Carlo simulation.

Introduction. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease that leads to a progressive memory loss, visualspatial impairments, emotional and personality changes. As its earliest pre-dementia clinical stage, amnestic mild cognitive impairment syndrome (aMCI) is currently considered. Neuroinflammation plays a role in the development and progression of aMCI and the initial stage of AD, which can be supported by immunological disorders of a systemic character. Study of factors, including infections, influencing immune disorders and systemic inflammatory response in patients with aMCI, is of great importance.The aim of this study was to obtain new data on the possible role of herpesvirus infections in the development and progression of aMCI.Material and methods. 100 patients with aMCI diagnosis, 45 patients with AD, 40 people from the control group were enrolled into the study. The frequency of DNA detection of herpesviruses (Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human herpesviruses (HHV) type 6 and 7, cytomegalovirus (CMV)), the levels of viral load and the serological markers of herpesvirus infections (IgG to HHV-1, IgG to CMV) were determined. Immunological studies included an assessment of the level of the main pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and indicators of humoral and cellular immunity.Results. The study found an increased detection rate of EBV in saliva and a higher level of EBV DNA in saliva in aMCI and AD than in the control group. A relationship between the presence of active EBV infection and changes in immunological parameters in patients with aMCI were found. It was also discovered that the level of IgG antibodies to CMV is associated with the stage of AD.Discussion. The results indicate a possible role of EBV- and CMV-induced infections in the development of immunological changes which are typical for mild cognitive impairment and in the progression of AD. Conclusion. The obtained data can be important for prognostic methods addressing AD development, including its pre-dementia stage, and for new approaches to individualized treatment and prevention.

The Lassa virus one of the main etiological agent of hemorrhagic fevers in the world: according to WHO estimates, it affects 100,000 to 300,000 people annually, which results in up to 10,000 deaths [1]. Although expansion of Lassa fever caused by this pathogen is mostly limited to the West African countries: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria, imported cases have been historically documented in Europe, the United States of America (USA), Canada, Japan, and Israel [2]. In 2017, WHO included the Lassa virus in the list of priority pathogens in need of accelerated research, development of vaccines, therapeutic agents and diagnostic tools regarding infections they cause [3]. This review describes main technological platforms used for the development of vaccines for the prevention of Lassa fever.

Introduction. Immunodeficiency underlying the development of severe forms of new coronavirus infection may be the result of mixed infection with SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens, including Epstein–Barr virus (EBV).The aim is to study the prevalence and epidemiological features of co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and EBV. Material and methods. A cross-sectional randomized study was conducted in Moscow region from March to May 2020. Two groups were examined for EBV-markers: hospital patients (n = 95) treated for SARS-CoV-2 infection and blood donors (n = 92).Results. With equal EBV prevalence the detection of active infection markers in donors (10.9%) was noticeably lower than in SARS-CoV-2 patients (80%). Significant differences in this indicator were also found when patients from subgroups with interstitial pneumonia with the presence (96.6%) and absence (97.2%) of SARS-CoV-2 in the nasopharyngeal smear were compared with the subgroup of patients with mild COVID-19 (43.3%). The average IgG VCA and IgG EBNA positivity coefficients in donor group were higher than in patient group (p 0.05). Patients with active EBV infection markers were significantly more likely to have pneumonia, exceeding the reference values of ALT and the relative number of monocytes (odds ratio – 23.6; 3.5; 9.7, respectively).Discussion. The present study examined the incidence and analyzed epidemiological features of active EBV infection in patients with COVID-19.Conclusion. A significantly higher rate of detection of active EBV infection markers in hospital patients indicates a combined participation SARS-CoV-2 and EBV in the development of interstitial pneumonia. Low levels of specific IgG EBV serve as predictors of EBV reactivation. Exceeding the reference values of ALT and the relative number of monocytes in patients should serve as a reason for examination for active EBV infection markers.

Published: May 2021

Pumpkin plants showing symptoms of witches’ broom (PuWB) were observed in Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region, China, in September 2018. A phytoplasma was detected in symptomatic plants by PCR amplifying portions of the 16S ribosomal and tuf genes. In addition, the phylogeny based on these genes sequencing indicated that the PuWB strain clusters with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ (subgroup 16SrXII-A). Furthermore, based on in silico and in vitro restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses, the PuWB phytoplasma was confirmed as a ‘Ca. P. solani’-related strain. This was the first record of the occurrence of phytoplasma presence in pumpkins in China, and the first record of 16SrXII phytoplasma infecting pumpkins in the world.

O objetivo do estudo foi compreender as percepções construídas nas formações docente e formação profissional em Educação Física através de suas trajetórias. Método: Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico em artigos científicos, utilizando-se as palavras-chave “docente”, “educação física” e “formação profissional”, exclusivamente na língua portuguesa. A pesquisa foi de revisão bibliográfica, na perspectiva de levantamento de autores que discutem a temática da formação docente em Educação Física. Resultados: Identificou-se que os profissionais em Educação Física têm como papel facilitar o acesso e a apropriação crítica da Cultura Corporal, por meio do movimento e do saber sobre esse. Estes profissionais devem desenvolver a consciência dos indivíduos sobre a prática de exercício físico e aumento da prática de atividade física como meios eficazes para proporcionarem um nível de excelência em sua qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Diante da discussão a respeito das percepções construídas na formação docente e formação profissional em Educação Física em tempos de profundos questionamentos acerca do modelo de escola que, ainda majoritariamente, tem um viés conteudista, fica evidente a necessidade de se questionar acerca do modelo hegemônico de formação destes futuros profissionais. O espaço escolar e formativo não é uma superestrutura que com suas mazelas seria a responsável pelo colapso educacional que o Brasil vive nas últimas décadas.

Published: May 2021

This work aims to describe and analyze the new socio economic phenomenon of waste-based circularity. To describe this process of recovery and transformation of waste, which represents the basis of circular economy, it is necessary to understand the complex articulation of the production of goods and materials, their yield and their capacity of transformation. At the heart of all this is a series of human behaviors and habits dictated by legal rules and economic and cultural approaches. If we manage to better understand these behaviors, we can activate a series of processes which could help us to determine and encourage more sustainable behaviors from an environmental, economic and social point of view.

The goal of the paper is to present some results concerning the approximation of convex functions by linear positive operators. First, one recalls some results concerning the univariate real valued convex functions. Next, one presents the notion of higher order convexity introduced by Popoviciu [Popoviciu, T., Sur quelques propri´et´ees des fonctions d’une ou deux variable r´eelles, PhD Thesis, La Faculte des Sciences de Paris, 1933 (June)]. The Popoviciu’s famous theorem for the representation of linear functionals associated to convex functions of m−th order (with the proof of author) is also presented. Finally, applications of the convexity to study the monotonicity of sequences of some linear positive operators and also mean value theorems for the remainder term of some approximation formulas based on linear positive operators are presented.

Within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model with utilizing of the three dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies the dynamical stress field problem in a bi-layered plate-strip with initial stress under the action of an arbitrary inclined timeharmonic force resting on a rigid foundation is investigated. The concrete materials such as a pair of Aluminum and Steel are selected. It is assumed that there exists a complete contact interaction between the layers. The mathematical modeling of the problem under consideration is carved out, and the governing system of the partial differential equations of motion is approximately solved by employing Finite Element Method. The numerical results related to the influence of certain parameters on the dynamic response of the plate-strip are presented.

Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Fedotova T.Y.
Published: May 2021

The article captures up to date issues of music education of the secondary professional educational organizations. The complexity and at the same time uniqueness of the music teacher/music director professions are noted, the problem of decrease of applicants' educational background is described. Interviews with teachers of subject-cycle commissions and content analysis of educational and methodological documentation on the disciplines included in the music-theoretical training and interdisciplinary courses from the professional module PM.03 Pedagogical musical and performing activities among educational institutions of the Volga Federal District, confirming the need for transforming the educational process by creating an integrative model of musical and theoretical training were conducted. Scientific research in the field of pedagogical integration is analyzed, it is determined that integration in pedagogy is not only a process and result, but also the principle of development of its theory and practice. As a result of pedagogical integration the integrative thinking is defined. Based on the obtained knowledge the methodological basis for the design of an integrative model was formed. The leading approach to modeling of professional musical-theoretical training of students is the integrative one, which ensures the integrity of professional formation of specialists and is manifested in the extent of integrative thinking, the growth of systematic knowledge, complexity of skills, willingness for self-actualization and self-development. The design of the model of musical-theoretical training is carried out taking into account the implementation of integrative processes at four levels: inter-subject, intra-subject, interpersonal and intrapersonal. The leading principle of modeling the content of musical and theoretical training of students is the principle of integration, which ensures the effective achievement of the goals of the educational process by forming a holistic view of the musical art. To implement this principle, the following tasks are solved: the object of integration is defined, factors that contribute and do not contribute to the integration of the designated objects are identified, and the expected result is defined. According to the results of the functioning of the model, students have developed skills of integrative thinking, performing and pedagogical skills, increased interest and activity in the learning process and the emergence of emotional and value orientations. The article proves the need to use an integrative model of musical-theoretical training of students of a pedagogical college.
ON THE FORMATION OF GERMAN REALISM
Authors:   Samara State Social and Pedagogical University, Bakalov A.S.
Published: May 2021

The relevance of research. In German literary criticism, there is no unambiguous definition of the phenomenon of literary realism, however, at the empirical level, it is understood as a literary system based on a mimetic-oriented depiction of reality, often critically comprehended and subjectively colored due to the norms and ideas that are taking shape in society. Research methodology. Complex and systematic methods of literature analysis are applied. In this article, the author comes to the conclusion that the realism of the turn of the XIX - early XX centuries. retains its main principles of artistic comprehension of the world, and at the same time the signs that do not allow talking about its dissolution in the eclectic picture of the emerging modernity. The main thing remains the disclosure of "the essence of life phenomena through their individualized generalization (typification)", analysis and specific historical logic of presentation Realism at the turn of the 19th - early 20th centuries. closely associated with such phenomena as regional literature, "new business-like", historical novel. On its basis, workers' and proletarian-revolutionary literature developed in many ways. In German literature of the twentieth century. realistic tendencies intensified in the times following the historical and political catastrophes, primarily after the two world wars lost by Germany. Realism played a significant role in the literature of the Weimar Republic (the works of E.M. Remarque, L. Feuchtwanger, L. Frank and others), while in contact with modernist and avant-garde trends (for example, with "new business-like"). Realism turned out to be no less significant after 1945, having equally influenced the formation of the literatures of West and East Germany (writers of the "group of 47", Erwin Strittmatter, "socialist realism", etc.). German realism, which emerged in the middle of the 19th century, was able to demonstrate its flexibility and ability to enter into alliances with other natural artistic directions, without losing its main specificity - the desire for materiality, the authenticity of personal and collective experience, as well as symbolizing the "obvious" with the goal of approaching the "true".

To explore a new underlying molecular mechanism of Huangkui Extract Powder (HKEP) in the alleviation of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Murine immortalized podocytes were divided into (i) normal glucose (NG, 5.6 mM), (ii) NG + HKEP (0.45 g/L), (iii) HG, and (iv) HG + HKEP (0.45 g/L) groups. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the podocyte proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle. Cell viability was inhibited, and apoptosis increased in (iii) HG group compared with (i) NG group (p<0.05). mRNA and protein expression of nephrin and podocin significantly decreased in (iii) HG group compared with (i) NG group (p<0.05). When compared with (iii) HG group, (iv) HG + HKEP group had higher cell viability, lower apoptotic rate and higher mRNA and protein expression of nephrin and podocin (p<0.05). HKEP can attenuate HG-induced podocyte damage, which may be one of the mechanisms of HKEP for attenuating DN.
