Rituximab related non-infectious lung injury complicating treatment of severe TTP in pregnancy – literature review and case-report
Authors: Zoorob Dani , Zarudskaya Oxana , Khurshid Nauman , Lutz Megan
Published: March 2022

Background: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in pregnancy is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Management of severe, refractory TTP during pregnancy is challenging and includes multidisciplinary approach. The prognosis of cases with a variety of hematological and autoimmune diseases, including TTP has changed profoundly after the rituximab therapy was introduced into clinical practice. However, adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with biological agents should be kept in mind and the decision to treat should be weighed by measurement of potential risks vs benefits. Case report: We reported the first documented case of noninfectious lung toxicity in pregnancy related to rituximab use for TTP treatment. 26 y/o patient at 23 weeks gestation initially presented to ED secondary to numbness, headache, and slurred speech with negative brain imaging. Her laboratory findings revealed severe deficiency of platelets, hemoglobin and ADAMT13 activity. She underwent multiple therapeutic interventions including plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), prednisone, and eventually required more often hospitalizations. Ultimately, the decision was made to proceed with rituximab therapy. After the third infusion of rituximab, she developed non-infectious lung injury without evidence of SARS-CoV-2 or other infections, pulmonary edema, or pulmonary embolism. The maternal condition worsened acutely resulting in significant desaturation that required intubation and eventual emergent premature delivery at 31-weeks’ gestation via C-section. Conclusion: Rituximab therapy for TTP management in pregnancy may be associated with significant adverse maternal-fetal outcomes. Risks and benefits of treatment should be discussed with each patient and during multidisciplinary communications. Physicians should maintain high index of suspicion for non-infectious lung injury associated with rituximab treatment in order to be able to diagnose this complication early and start treatment to avoid severe mortality and morbidity.

Authors: Gu Huiyuan , Nikitina Larisa , Kaur Jagdish
Published: March 2022

Introduction. This study adopts a Global Englishes perspective to examine dimensions within beliefs about English language held by Mainland Chinese university students. It also assesses whether and how these beliefs impact the students’ motivation to learn English (L2 motivation). Materials and Methods. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 460 students learning English as a Foreign Language at a large public university in Mainland China. The questionnaire contained 28 items to assess the students’ language beliefs and their L2 motivation. One section of the questionnaire gathered demographic information about the respondents. The research instrument was approved by the University’s Research Ethics Committee. Exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed to analyze the data. Results. The Exploratory factor analysis identified four distinct dimensions within the language learners’ beliefs, namely, Beliefs about Standard English, Beliefs about Global Englishes, Beliefs about English language education and Beliefs about China English. Three dimensions were identified within the students’ L2 motivation, namely, International posture, Integrative orientation and Instrumental orientation. The ensuing regression analysis detected positive and statistically significant relationships between some dimensions in the language beliefs and L2 motivation. Particularly, Beliefs about English language education were found to have the strongest impact on L2 motivation. Discussion and Conclusion. The findings from the exploratory factor analysis support the views that languagerelated beliefs have distinct dimensions. They also give empirical evidence to the validity of the Global Englishes notion. From a language teaching perspective, the findings highlight the need to adopt GE-oriented pedagogies.

Introduction. The development of agricultural production technical support implies the creation of new working tools and machines for soil treatment, and their improvement and research. This process is continuously associated with the use of soil channels and experimental facilities that help to determine the nature of interaction of working elements and wheeled drivers of agricultural machinery, including means of small-scale mechanization, with the soil. The purpose of this study is to provide the rationale for the design of the stand for testing the working elements of tillage units and wheels of transport and technological machines in the agro-industrial complex.
Materials and Methods. In order to obtain reliable experimental data on the interaction of wheeled propellers of small-scale mechanization with the soil, the analysis of the basic design of the experimental stand to study the working elements of agricultural machinery was conducted. The requirements for the experimental stand were defined. The experimental-measuring complex “Soil Channel” was developed and manufactured on the basis of production facilities of the Prof. Leshchankin Chair of Mobile Power Tools and Agricultural Machinery of the Institute of Mechanics and Power Engineering of National Research Mordovia State University.
Results. The analysis of ensuring the stability of translational motion of the experimental stand movable module is given, the technical solution to ensure the uniformity of its motion is substantiated and the choice of the electromagnetic powder brake type size is made. The kinematic diagram and a prototype of the movable module of the experimental stand for the investigation of the driving wheels of power tillers are developed.
Discussion and Conclusion. Improvement of the soil channel design by introducing a removable module into it, will provide tests not only of active, traction and traction-driven working tools of tillage machines, but will also allow studying the nature of interaction of their driving wheels with the soil, carrying out simultaneous control of traction force and slipping. These data can be used for modernization of existing machines and working tools, and for developing new units.
Probabilistic Model of the Kinematics of the Device for Reducing Elongation of Flax Fiber Stems in the Tape
Authors: Zintsov Aleksandr N. , Kovalev Mixail M. , Perov Gennady A.
Published: March 2022

Introduction. The main reason for the crisis state of flax growing is the losses of the flax fiber portions when it is extracted from the crop. This is due to excessive elongation of the stems in the layer. It was found that the most convenient way to reduce elongation in the field conditions when turning over flax strips by striking the butt portions in the direction of the stems. The authors propose to use for this purpose a pickup flax turner with a conveyor-type inclined flax butting machine. The purpose of the research is to increase the efficiency of flax tapes leveling process by butting flax stems.
Materials and Methods. It is noted that the maximum effect will be provided by a counterimpact in the direction of the flax stems. For this purpose, the speed of motion of the butting surface relative to the retted straw transversely to the flax stems should have a constant zero value. The specified mode can be realized by a conveyor with roller activators. In the article, the random nature of the working conditions of machine units in the field was noted that is an additional obstacle for processing the flax tapes by the suggested method. Therefore, it is recommended to use probabilistic and graph-analytical methods of calculation when designing flax butting machines.
Results. Using the graph-analytical method, a probabilistic model linking the kinematics of the proposed device with the probability of causing counter-strikes on the flax butts was obtained. It was found that two-roller activators in combination with inclination of butting surface will provide pronounced impacts, increase speed and probability of their application. Parameters and operating modes of inclined conveyor-type butting machine were substantiated experimentally.
Discussion and Conclusion. Application of the proposed method, taking into account the results obtained, will reduce the elongation of flax stems in strips by 5.6% for one turning over and the yield of long fiber by 2.5–3.0%.

Perbedaan hasil pendidikan masyarakat sederhana dan masyarakat modern mendasari penulisan artikel ini. Masyarakat modern membutuhkan durasi yang lebih lama dalam mendidik buah hatinya untuk mencapai kualitas pendidikan terbaik dibandingkan dengan masyarakat sederhana. Pada masyarakat modern dibutuhkan tenaga profesional, lembaga formal dan sarana dan prasarana yang mencukupi untuk mengajarkan pengetahuan agar mempunyai kemampuan sebanding dengan perancangan RPP. Sedangkan masyarakat sederhana kurang memerlukan institusi dalam pendidikan untuk mencapai kecakapan dan keahlian yang minimal dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat sederhana.Masyarakat sederhana tidak membutuhkan individu yang ahli dalam membimbing sehingga hasil mengajar mereka penuh dengan kebutuhan kehidupan masyarakat di sekitar. Anak Masyarakat moderncenderung memiliki tekanan dari orang tua serta pendidiknya agar mereka menguasai bidang dalam durasi yang telah ditentukan. Hal ini tentu menyebabkan  masalah psikis pada anak  masyakat modern. Pendidikan masyarakat modern lebih diarahkan pada keinginan untuk mencapai kualitas pendidikan terbaik sedangkan mayarakat sederhana lebih diarahkan pada kebutuhan keahlian minimal yang dibutuhkan masyarakat sekitar.

Real wages and the business cycle in Turkey
Authors: Aldan Altan , Yüncüler Hatice Burcu Gürcihan
Published: March 2022

The article analyzes the direction and scope of the responsiveness of real wages to the business cycle in Turkey using longitudinal data from 2005 to 2015. We found that wages in Turkey are procyclical; one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate induces a 0.6% decline in real wages. There is a variation in the patterns along the lines of wage distribution among the subgroups with relations to skills. Less-educated workers have acyclical wages. Compatible with this evidence, we found that the workers who earn around the minimum wage also have acyclical wages. High share of minimum wage earners suppresses wage cyclicality. Consistent with strict employment protection legislation and loose wage determination, wages of relatively high-income employees who mostly have formal work arrangements are procyclical.

Published: March 2022

This chapter provides a detailed description of the DIG Data Publication Initiative (DIG), which was partially supported by the Catalyst project. DIG is the UCLA Cotsen Institute’s new effort to establish an archaeological digital data publication service. The DIG team is not attempting to construct or maintain preservation services or a repository, and instead partners with institutions with this expertise and these services. By directly referencing the best practices and standards of the Linked Open Data movement, this chapter complements the section of the book on digital publication/data dissemination/data curation. This contribution is of interest to specialized and non-specialized readers, especially because it describes DIG as a fruitful collaboration between a university library and an academic unit.
Developing the Appeal System for Chinese University Students: A Combination of Sustainable Construction and Social Needs
Authors: Li Ze , Liu Yingming
Published: March 2022

The appeal system for Chinese university students is created and implemented by the state. But not a single system launched «from above» will function without being demanded by society. And in order to identify a particular demand, it is necessary to make empirical investigations (especially in-depth interviews) and to carefully analyze the first-hand data obtained. Such studies revealed the social demand for protecting the students’ rights; for controlling the actions of higher educational institutions’ administration; for reducing the burden on the courts forced to participate in resolving conflicts between the university and its students. It was due to this demand that the state developed a system of appeals for university students and made it come from paper to practice. Thus, the results of our analyzing the stage-by-stage creation, implementation, and improvement of the appeal system for university students in China, as presented in this research article, not only reflect the advantages of grass-roots promoting state policy, but also indicate the importance for the Chinese government to take into account social needs and respond to them.

Published: March 2022

O curso de Pedagogia, ao completar oitenta e três anos de existência no Brasil, desponta entre os cursos de graduação com o maior número de matrículas no país. Em que pese a sua contribuição ao longo de todas estas décadas no que se refere à formação de educadores/as e aos estudos relacionados à educação de modo geral, sua trajetória histórica é marcada por intensas disputas em torno de suas finalidades formativas. A partir do entendimento de que a definição do perfil de egressos/as de um curso superior deve ser traçada no diálogo com a natureza epistemológica das áreas científicas que o configuram e com as demandas do campo social e educacional, o presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar aspectos sobre a trajetória histórica do curso na interface com a produção do conhecimento pedagógico no país. Nessa perspectiva, inicia-se com uma discussão conceitual sobre a educação, como fenômeno social, e a Pedagogia como ciência que a tem como objeto de estudo. Prossegue analisando a trajetória histórica do curso e do pensamento pedagógico no Brasil, e finaliza problematizando o (des)lugar da Pedagogia no cenário da pós-graduação brasileira.

Published: March 2022

A Educação a Distância (EaD) cresce de forma acelerada no Brasil, ao passo que hoje compreende mais de um terço de todas as matrículas em cursos de graduação (BRASIL, 2022a). Porém, os altos índices de evasão pressionam as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) a definirem estratégias para promover a permanência de seus discentes até a diplomação. Neste sentido, a presente pesquisa foi estruturada a partir da necessidade de se olhar para a gestão das instituições e avaliar de que modo estão comprometidas com a permanência discente na modalidade. Com esta investigação, objetiva-se identificar e analisar de que forma as Instituições de Ensino Superior, vinculadas ao sistema da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), promovem a permanência discente em cursos de Pedagogia a distância. Para isso, realizou-se oito entrevistas semiestruturadas com coordenadores de seis IES distintas, além da análise de documentos institucionais. A compreensão das falas dos gestores e a análise documental enfatizaram que as instituições possuem diferentes níveis de comprometimento com a institucionalização da modalidade a distância, o que reflete diretamente em sua atuação para mitigar a evasão dos estudantes. A partir da identificação de fragilidades nos cursos, bem como de boas práticas referidas na literatura, foram apresentadas diretrizes que almejam promover a permanência dos discentes nos contextos investigados.

(Don't Fear) The Yield Curve, Reprise
Authors: Engstrom Eric C. , Sharpe Steven A.
Published: March 2022

In recent months, financial market perceptions about the future path of short-term interest rates have evolved amidst signals from policymakers suggesting that reduced monetary policy accommodation is in the offing. As with previous episodes of policy tightening, most recently in 2018, one can hear an attendant rise in the volume of commentary about a decline in the slope of the yield curve and the risk of "inversion," whereby long-term yields fall below shorter-maturity yields.

Johanna d'Arc of Mongolia As the Fairy Tale of Shock Economy
Authors: Madella Alessandra
Published: March 2022

In this essay, I examine the film Johanna d’Arc ofMongolia (1989), made by German director Ulrike Ottinger in the year of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I argue that it can be read as an anti-authoritarian articulation of a desire for radical public spheres better suited to serve minority interests, particularly at a time of drastic transformations of social and political conditions. The film’s narrative ambiguity should be read in the rhetorical situation of radical fairy tales in West Germany and their attempt to develop counterpublic spheres to resist the organization of experiences by the consciousness industry. Ottinger’s film, while shot mostly in Inner Mongolia during the crucial year for the reunification of Germany, is far from being escapist. The shock of the displaced lower-class heroine, so different from the “happy ending” imperative of traditional fairy tales, unveils the fiction of a neoliberal economy that considers people and land as mere commodities. Like Karl Polanyi, Ottinger wants to empower people to question the assumption that they had to accept major displacements and flexibility in the name of a self-regulating market. The fairy tale, as a contested genre related to education, is a primary field for this struggle.
SCA CLARIFIES THE TERM “MOTOR VEHICLE” IN ROAD ACCIDENT FUND ACT 56 OF 1996: The Road Accident Fund v Mbele [2020] ZASCA 72
Authors: Darren Subramanien
Published: March 2022

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in The Road Accident Fund v Mbele [2020] ZASCA 72 (SCA judgment) had to decide whether a large industrial vehicle called a Reach Stacker was a motor vehicle as contemplated in section 1 of the Road Accident Fund Act 56 of 1996 (the Act). This judgment is important, not only because it paves the way for the respondent and others like the respondent to claim compensation from the Road Accident Fund in cases of injury or death, but also, because it provides clarity on the test that the court uses to determine whether a vehicle in question is a motor vehicle as contemplated in the Act. The features, purpose and intended use of the vehicle in question play a pivotal role in the determination of whether a vehicle is a motor vehicle. The SCA indicated that the Reach Stacker in question was equipped with full road-going lighting, including tail lights, indicators, brake lights and reverse lights. Furthermore, it was fitted with windscreen wipers and washers, a hooter, and a handbrake. According to the court, it was clear from its features that the Reach Sacker fitted the description of a “motor vehicle” as defined in the Act.
ACHIEVING GENDER NEUTRALITY IN CONTRACTS
Authors: Michele van Eck
Published: March 2022

Written contracts are expressed through language, which has legal consequences. Language is reflective of preconceptions and misconceptions of a particular matter or circumstance and language usage, being of a personal nature, may also impact a person’s dignity. This can be illustrated in the use of gendered language, which has historically been perfectly acceptable but have fallen in disfavour due to the potential preconceptions, presumptions, and biases that are inherent in stereotypical male-dominated language terms. The approach to replace the male term with a female equivalent still retains gendered language and fails in using gender-neutral language in a world where gender is not as simple as being classified as either male or female. Against this background, this article considers the existing gender-based framework, legal framework, and language framework to assess gender-based language found in written contracts and proposes a contract language framework in order to achieve gender neutrality in contracts.

Authors: Sannicandro Italo , Cofano Giacomo , Raiola Gaetano
Published: March 2022

The study purpose.The Small-side games (SSG) are high intensity drills very popular in soccer training. The knowledge of the acute effects of the exercises that make up the training session is very relevant especially to reduce youth soccer injury risk. This study aim to assessment the acute effects of SSG on hamstring eccentric strength and to know the lower limb strength asymmetries (LLSA) in young soccer players.

Materials and methods. The sample is composed of male young soccer players Under 17 (n = 24, 16.6 ± 0.5 years, 168.8 ± 4.6 cm, 58.2 ± 3.5 kg). Before and after SSG (4vs4, 3×4 min, 3min recovery, no goalkeepers) the hamstring eccentric strength and the lower limb eccentric strength asymmetry were evaluated used a specific dynamometer (N3 Easytech, Italy) and relative software. Every young soccer player performed a single repetition of the Nordic hamstring exercise with dynamometer; after about 2 minutes, instead, they performed 5 repetitions of the same exercise, without interruption. For both assessments, were detected the eccentric strength and the LLSA. 

Results. The hamstring eccentric strength assessment show substantial and statistically significant differences in the assessment in comparison pre-post values. A significant reduction was observed for eccentric strength peak (p < 0.018 and p < 0.014 for right/left limb), for eccentric average strength (p < 0.017 and p < 0.006 for right/left limb). The eccentric peak strength asymmetry value and the average strength asymmetry value revealed a significant increase (p < 0.0001). 

Conclusions. The reduction of strength after SSG requires careful consideration of the exercises order in the training session. The practitioners can plan training sessions and apply SSGs more effectively, with more attention to the effects on hamstrings.

The study purpose was to examine and analyze the effect of developing a hurdle-box jump plyometric model on muscle strength, explosive power, and hypertrophy.

Materials and methods. This research was an experimental study with a two group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study was male sub-elite athletes from various sports aged 15-17 years who were selected at random sampling totaling 22 athletes, divided into 2 (two) groups, the treatment group using plyometric hurdle-box jump development (n = 11) and the control group using plyometric barrier hops (n = 11). 

Results. The results showed that: (1) there was a significant effect of plyometric hurdle-box jump exercise on strength, leg muscle explosive power, and muscle hypertrophy, (2) there was a significant effect of plyometric barrier hops exercise (control group) on strength, leg muscles explosive power, and muscle hypertrophy, and (3) there was a significant difference between plyometric hurdle-box jump exercises and plyometric barrier hops exercises (control group) on strength, leg muscle explosive power, and muscle hypertrophy.

Conclusions. The percentage increase in pretest and posttest scores on strength, leg muscle explosive power, and muscle hypertrophy showed that the hurdle-box jump plyometric exercise group was better than the control group (barrier hops).

The study purpose. Currently, the study was to get the pattern of jumping movement skills for mentally retarded children using D-Mat. It is as part of technology advanced to support physical activity and sport. While mentally retarded children have different ways to jump with normal children.

Materials and methods. The method used qualitative research using observational design. Participants are mentally retarded children aged 6-11 years who are divided into two groups, namely ages 6-8 years and ages 9-11 years. The data were collected through a process of observation and video recording. While the validation of the jumping movement test used observational and test-rater from 2 experts for the needs of mentally retarded children. Data analysis techniques used the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significant level of p <0.05 and descriptive statistics.

Results. The findings concluded that the jumping movement pattern of mentally retarded children aged 6-11 years is forward jumping movement. They are easy to do it using D-Mat. This movement model is quite stable and easy to master.

Conclusions. Each component of the movement also shows fairly good stability according to the characteristics and needs of each child.

Tuning the expression levels of native genes v1
Authors: N Bayer Carolyn
Published: March 2022

This protocol collection describes how to use our optimised tetAOPT dual selection marker in E. coli K12 and Nissle. This dual selection marker can be used for positive selection based on tetracycline resistance and counterselection based on NiCl2 sensitivity. tetA can be used to engineer all stages of the central dogma of molecular biology. On the DNA-level tetAOPTcan be used to create scarless knockouts across the E. coli genome with an efficiency above 90%, whereas recombinant gene integrations can be achieved with approximately 50% efficiency. On the expression level, tetAOPT enables advanced genome engineering of both gene translation and transcription.

Dificultades y Propuestas para el Maestro Ideal del Siglo XXI: un Modelo desde la Teoría Fundamentada
Authors: Ponce Gea Ana Isabel , Rico Gómez María Luisa
Published: March 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es configurar un modelo de dificultades y propuestas para poner en práctica la conceptualización del maestro ideial desde la perspectiva de los propios docentes. La identidad del docente se configura por medio de percepciones subjetivas verbalizadas en el discurso analítico del maestro, que relacionan la dimensión profesional y personal con el contexto en el que se circunscribe, y que se va configurando continuamente. Se opta por la Teoría Fundamentada, como método, y se emplea la técnica del grupo de discusión, con 10 participantes de distintos perfiles en el ámbito educativo: formación inicial, formación final, docente en búsqueda de empleo, docente novel, docente experimenado y formador de futuros formadores. El “Modelo de dificultades y propuestas para la materialización del ideal docente”, se ha especificado en las supracategorías “Problemas para la materialización” y “Propuestas para la materialización” en relación con las siguientes dimensiones: perfil del estudiante, formación y acceso, motivaciones, marco organizativo y curricular y práctica docente. Los resultados evidencian que el paradigma en el que se inserta el modelo resultante está en la línea del enfoque socioconstructivista, así como la necesidad de una práctica reflexiva pedagógica multifocal, centrada en el ambiente social y cooperativo del aprendizaje.

The global computer environment (GCE) as a whole is considered an object of research. The system-wide as­pects of implementing the digital transformation of the sociotechnosphere through the GCE are analyzed. Factors of the destructive influence of the fundamental system-technical laws of the spontaneous growth of the GCE on the functioning/development of the sociotechnosphere are presented. Special attention is paid to the study of the features of the apperance of a positive synergetic network effect, expressed by Metcalfs law, in the conditions of the initially open intra-system heterogeneity of the network resources of the existing GCE. It is established that with the increase in the size of large distributed systems implemented in the GCE, the factor of heterogeneity of network resources becomes a source of negative (system-destructive) network synergy, which devalues the positive synergy of Metcalfs law. Examples of ecosystems implemented in the GCE through cloud technologies are considered. It is shown that in the conditions of initially open heterogeneity of network resources, the further increase in the size of large distributed systems leads to an insurmountable increase in the complexity of the system-functional integra­tion of network resources and an uncontrolled decrease in the stability of the sociotechnosphere. The principles of conceptual reengineering the GCE are presented to eliminate the causes of systemic heterogeneity and seamless/ cybersecurity distribution of algorithmic universality, closed in intracomputer resources, to any arbitrarily large subset of GCE computers. Such reengineering will allow neutralizing the negative synergy and maximizing the positive synergy of the Metcalf effect in large distributed systems without restrictions on their size.

Background: The study analyzes a possible rare complication of COVID-19 in the form of spondylodiscitis, including that followed by epiduritis, in patients who survived COVID-19 characterized by severe pneumonia, respiratory failure and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
Clinical case description: Three clinical cases of patients are presented, each of whom had high fever, SIRS with a significant increase in the laboratory markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocytosis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen, procalcitonin, ferritin), bacterial pneumonia, and severe hemostasis disorders. Despite an antibiotic therapy with broad-spectrum drugs, the development of spondylodiscitis was observed, manifested as acute pain syndrome in the lumbar spine. In the first patient, against the background of a massive antibacterial therapy, revisions of purulent foci, therapy with glucocorticosteroids (GCS), and a surgical treatment, there was significant positive dynamics in the form of the pain syndrome relief. The second patient showed positive dynamics against the background of a conservative antibacterial therapy. The third patient, with a paravertebral abscess at the level of developed spondylodiscitis, received a massive antibiotic therapy combined with GCS, and was operated for the spinal cord decompression.
Conclusion: Spondylodiscitis and epiduritis may be possible complications of COVID-19, including those resulting from the immunosuppressive therapy, which is actively used to stop the cytokine storm.
