Abstract. When solving hydrodynamic equations in spherical/cylindrical geometry using explicit finite difference schemes, a major difficulty is that the time step is greatly restricted by the clustering of azimuthal cells near the pole due to the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition. This paper adapts the azimuthal averaging-reconstruction (Ring Average) technique to finite difference schemes in order to mitigate the time step constraint in spherical/cylindrical coordinates. The finite-difference Ring Average technique averages physical quantities based on an effective grid and then reconstructs the solution back to the original grid in a piece-wise, monotonic way. The algorithm is implemented in a community upper atmospheric model Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIE-GCM), with horizontal resolution up to 0.625 × 0.625 in the geographic longitude-latitude coordinates, which enables the capability of resolving critical mesoscale structures within the TIE-GCM. Numerical experiments have shown that the Ring Average technique introduces minimal artifacts in the polar region of the GCM solutions, which is a significant improvement compared to the commonly used low-pass filtering techniques such as the fast Fourier transform method. Since the finite-difference adaption of the Ring Average technique is a post-solver type algorithm, which requires no changes to the original computational grid and numerical algorithms, it has also been implemented in much more complicated models with extended physical/chemical modules such as the coupled Magnetosphere Ionosphere Thermosphere (CMIT) model and the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere eXtension (WACCM-X). The implementation of the Ring Average techniques in both models enables CMIT and WACCM-X to perform global simulations with a much higher resolution than that used in the community versions. The new technique is not only a significant improvement in space weather modeling capability, but can also be adapted to more general finite difference solvers for hyperbolic equations in spherical/polar geometries.

Abstract. Rapid impact assessments immediately after disasters are crucial to enable rapid and effective mobilization of resources for response and recovery efforts. These assessments are often performed by analysing the three components of risk: hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Vulnerability curves are often constructed using historic insurance data or expert judgments, reducing their applicability for the characteristics of the specific hazard and building stock. Therefore, this paper outlines an approach to the creation of event-specific vulnerability curves, using Bayesian statistics (i.e., the zero-one inflated beta distribution) to update a pre-existing vulnerability curve (i.e., the prior) with observed impact data derived from social media. The approach is applied in a case study of Hurricane Dorian, which hit the Bahamas in September 2019. We analysed footage shot predominantly from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other airborne vehicles posted on YouTube in the first 10 days after the disaster. Due to its Bayesian nature, the approach can be used regardless of the amount of data available as it balances the contribution of the prior and the observations.
Training a convolutional neural network to conserve mass in data assimilation
Authors: Ruckstuhl Yvonne , Janjić Tijana , Rasp Stephan
Published: September 2020

Abstract. In previous work, it was shown that preservation of physical properties in the data assimilation framework can significantly reduce forecasting errors. Proposed data assimilation methods, such as the quadratic programming ensemble (QPEns) that can impose such constraints on the calculation of the analysis, are computationally more expensive, severely limiting their application to high dimensional prediction systems as found in earth sciences. In order to produce from a less computationally expensive, unconstrained analysis, a solution that is closer to the constrained analysis, we propose to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on analyses produced by the QPEns. In this paper, we focus on conservation of mass and show in an idealized setup that the hybrid of a CNN and the ensemble Kalman filter is capable of reducing analysis and background errors to the same level as the QPEns. To obtain these positive results, it was in one case necessary to add a penalty term to the loss function of the CNN training process.
The Effect of Renewable Energy Consumption on Economic Stability: Panel Data Analysis on Selected Countries
Authors: Hacıimamoğlu Tunahan , Sandalcılar Ali Rıza
Published: September 2020

This study aims to investigate the effect of renewable energy consumption on economic stability. In this regard, covering the period of 1990-2016, data of 35 countries, 19 of which are developed and 16 of which are developing, were used. The cointegration analysis results reveal that, there is a long-term relationship between the two variables in developed and developing countries. According to panel coefficient estimators, the effect of renewable energy consumption on economic stability is positive and statistically meaningful in Germany, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, and Sweden, which are developed countries, and also in Egypt, Turkey, Taiwan, Pakistan, and Indonesia, which are developing countries. However, the effect is negative and significant in contrast to expectations in England and Belgium, which are developed countries, and in India and the Philippines, which are developing countries.
Reading Milton Today: Delight, Instruction, Admonition
Authors: Fallon Stephen M.
Published: September 2020

Milton is still read hundreds of years after his death primarily because of the breathtaking beauty of his poetry. We read him today for the same reasons that we still listen to the works of Mozart or Beethoven and still stand before the paintings of Raphael and Rembrandt. Milton's medium is words, and with his words he is always arguing and championing ideas—ideas about politics and government, gender relations, free speech and toleration. Here he has much to teach us, not only about ideals toward which we still strive, but also pitfalls we would do well to avoid, for Milton is in many ways a divided figure: a proto-egalitarian on gender question who is also a fierce advocate of male privilege; an advocate of free speech and toleration, but within limits; a republican who distrusts the people; and a theocrat who inspired architects of democracy.
Milton's Satan in China
Authors: Hao Tianhu
Published: September 2020

Milton's Satan matters in the cultural life of China because his fighting spirit has inspired the Chinese struggle for national liberation in the past and because Satan as a poetic figure of moral reality created by a “radical humanist” is still instructive for Chinese atheist readers. Significantly, Lu Xun interpreted Milton and Satan from the perspective of atheism in the early twentieth century. Later readers, conspicuously Jin Fashen, an important Milton translator and a student of William Empson, have inherited what I call the “Lu Xun tradition.” This article outlines the vicissitudes of Milton's Satan in China to show the character's contemporary significance in the country.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Clinical and Genetic Spectrum in Qatar
Authors: Ali Rehab
Published: September 2020

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder-affecting
males, exclusively. DMD has a worldwide reported incidence of 1 per 3500–9000 male children.
Although very rare, some cases have been observed in carrier females. DMD is caused by deletions,
duplications and point mutations in the DMD gene. However, most of the molecular mutations are
deletions in DMD gene that encodes dystrophin, the altered protein in Duchenne and Becker muscular
dystrophy. The affected patients have progressive muscle weakness and will be wheelchair bound
before or during their teens and eventually develop respiratory and cardiac dysfunction. In addition to
the standard supportive therapy, recently there are many emerging genetic therapies for DMD targeting
repair of the primary genetic defect. The purpose of this talk is to present the phenotypic and genetic
spectrum of DMD patients in Qatar and highlight some of the genetic counseling aspects pertinent to
the Qatari population.
Evaluation of Neonatal Hypotonia: The Neuromuscular Perspectives
Authors: Mohamed Khalid Awad
Published: September 2020

Infantile hypotonia is a common presenting symptom. There are various causes for neonatal hypotonia
including systemic illness such as sepsis and congenital cardiac disease among others. With regards to
neurological hypotonia, CNS disorders such as metabolic disorders, brain malformations and neonatal
encephalopathy including hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and early epileptic encephalopathy are
among the important causes. Neuromuscular disorders form an important group of disorders that
should be actively sought and evaluated in neonates presenting with hypotonia; with new treatments
available for patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and congenital myasthenia, which makes
early screening and diagnosis essential for good care given the effectiveness of the treatments available
including gene therapy. The importance of genetic counseling and prevention of recurrence is also
imperative in conditions that have a specific treatment such as Merosin deficient congenital muscular
dystrophy and similar disorders. This presentation will discuss the common causes of hypotonia in
neonates and young infants and a diagnostic scheme for such children with some guidance on the
priority of testing and evaluation.
Approach to Neurometabolic Disorders in the Genomic Era
Authors: Ben-Omran Tawfeg
Published: September 2020

Neurometabolic disorders comprise a diverse group of inherited metabolic diseases with a wide age
of onset and phenotypic spectrum. Progressive neurological manifestations are the prominent signs
and symptoms in this group of diseases. Early diagnosis is critical, mainly for the treatable group of
neurometabolic disorders, to allow timely initiation of treatment and prevention of irreversible brain
damage. Conventionally, despite extensive, expensive, and often invasive studies, diagnostic delays
are common and many patients with neurometabolic disorders remain undiagnosed. However, with
the introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, our ability to diagnose patients are
dramatically improved as well as helping with the development of more targeted therapeutic strategies
and disease management. In this presentation, we will discuss neurometabolic disorders, approaches
to this group of diseases in the genomic era, and highlight the main clinical manifestations, with
emphasis on early detection, and early treatment.

Published: September 2020

Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) present a large group of primary muscle weakness’ diseases that progressively affect the subjects’ walking and movements’ abilities. Associated extra-muscular involvements constitute chronic co-morbidities that disturb the patients’ quality of life. There are challenges to better serve NMDs’ chronic patients that require a multidisciplinary team of health care providers. Hence, it is of importance to discuss what approaches are taken to ensure high quality integrated-health measures that aim at advancing the standard care and management plans for these patients in Qatar. The tertiary prevention approach of carrier and prenatal detection or the primary prevention applying the preimplantation genetic diagnosis has a principal role in reducing the recurrence of NMDs in our families and community. Hence, the question up for discussion is whether our prevention genetic program serves the needs for such families. Newborn screening is implemented in Qatar for a pre-designed list of diseases. The panel discussion will address the potential need for a tailored screening program for treatable types of congenital dystrophies or myopathies. Moreover, patients’ voices are known to have a powerful influence on the heath authorities’ decision-making. Patient advocacy groups are groups dedicated to taking patient’s voices to the forefront, these groups are well acting worldwide, and so are we ready to start this experience here in Qatar?
VULNERABILIDADE À CIRCULAÇÃO DO VÍRUS DA RAIVA POR MEIO DO CICLO SECUNDÁRIO NA ZONA RURAL DO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO PEDRO – SP
Authors: Mialhe Paulo Jacques , Moschini Luiz Eduardo
Published: September 2020

O morcego hematófago Desmodus rotundus é o principal transmissor da raiva nos herbívoros domésticos e animais silvestres. A transmissão da raiva entre morcegos pode ocorrer por meio do ciclo aéreo, incluindo espécies de morcegos não hematófagos que habitam áreas antropizadas, havendo assim uma crescente preocupação do risco de exposição ao vírus rábico para animais carnívoros domésticos e seus proprietários. Este trabalho teve por objetivo elaborar um modelo de áreas vulneráveis à circulação do vírus da raiva, utilizando um modelo de análise de decisão por múltiplos critérios em Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG). Devido à ausência de casos de raiva na região, a vulnerabilidade à circulação do vírus da raiva no município de São Pedro variou em função da distância dos abrigos, do tamanho da população de morcegos que ocupavam os abrigos e do número de carnívoros domésticos habitando as residências humanas. O modelo pode ser usado na determinação de áreas vulneráveis à ocorrência de raiva otimizando ações de vigilância epidemiológica e educativas, concentrando seus esforços nas áreas mais vulneráveis, poupando assim tempo e recursos e aumentando a eficiência dos serviços.

Authors: Dos Santos Amanda De Oliveira , Sampaio Aryele Nunes da Cruz Encide , Martins Otávio Augusto , Pinto José Paes De Almeida Nogueira , Pereira Juliano Gonçalves
Published: September 2020

O Serviço de Nutrição e Dietética (SND) é o setor de um hospital responsável por desenvolver atividades relacionadas à alimentação e nutrição de pacientes, acompanhantes e colaboradores. O cuidado com a segurança dos alimentos no ambiente hospitalar é de importância fundamental, uma vez que os alimentos preparados neste local serão direcionados, na maioria das vezes, a pacientes imunocomprometidos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar as condições higiênico-sanitárias de superfícies de trabalho, equipamentos, utensílios e mãos de manipuladores de um SND de um hospital público do Centro-Oeste do Estado de São Paulo. Por meio de swab superficial, foram colhidas amostras de 101 superfícies, equipamentos e utensílios e de 46 mãos de manipuladores. As amostras foram submetidas às contagens de micro-organismos mesófilos, coliformes e Escherichia coli e nas mãos de manipuladores realizou-se também a contagem de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva. Foi observado que 51,4% das superfícies de trabalho, equipamentos, utensílios e superfícies apresentaram-se fora do padrão para mesófilos, 50,4% para coliformes e 3,9% para E. coli. Das 46 mãos amostradas, 23,9% apresentaram resultados fora do padrão para mesófilos, 32,6% para coliformes e apenas 2,1% para E. coli e Staphylococcus coagulase positiva. Os resultados demonstraram falhas no processo de higienização de superfícies, equipamentos, utensílios e mãos de manipuladores o que pode influenciar diretamente na qualidade e segurança dos alimentos oferecidos aos pacientes, acompanhantes e colaboradores.

Writing For and Not Merely About
Authors: Marcus Hadas
Published: September 2020

Animals are ubiquitous in literature across all ages and cultures, but their actual presence has seldom been taken seriously, and scholarly endeavors often dismiss them. In Writing for Animals: New Perspectives for Writers and Instructors to Educate and Inspire, 13 fiction writers explore techniques used by themselves and other celebrated authors to make nonhuman worlds more comprehensible to readers, thus instilling us with greater sensitivity. This book bears testimony to the mounting awareness that animals have been treated badly for eons both in real life and in literature, and that the written word has the unique capability for finally “giving animals the voices they deserve.”
De juridische plicht om euthanasie te bespreken met patiënten met dementie voordat artsen schriftelijke wilsverklaringen kunnen uitvoeren

De juridische plicht om euthanasie te bespreken met patiënten met dementie voordat artsen schriftelijke wilsverklaringen kunnen uitvoeren

Op 21 april 2020 vernietigde de Hoge Raad het oordeel van de medische tuchtcolleges in de zaak van de verpleeghuisarts die het leven van een patiënte met dementie beëindigde zonder de levensbeëindiging eerst met de patiënte te bespreken. Volgens het Regionaal Tuchtcollege Den Haag en het Centraal Tuchtcollege voor de Gezondheidszorg had de arts wel met de patiënte moeten praten over het voornemen om haar leven te beëindigen. Deze rechtsopvatting van de tuchtcolleges heeft een hechte grondslag in gezondheidsrechtelijke en mensenrechtelijke rechtsnormen. Daarom had de Hoge Raad de rechtsopvatting van de tuchtcolleges hierover niet moeten vernietigen, maar bevestigen.

De stelselmatige informatie-inwinning van artikel 126j Sv: transparantie als noodzakelijke voorwaarde voor een effectieve rechtmatigheids- en betrouwbaarheidstoets van een potentieel risicovolle undercovermethode

Eind 2019 wees de Hoge Raad twee arresten in zaken waarin de Mr. Big-methode is ingezet om bewijsmateriaal, in de zin van een bekennende verklaring van de verdachte, te vergaren. In beide zaken is de inzet van deze methode gebaseerd op artikel 126j Sv, het stelselmatig inwinnen van informatie. Naar aanleiding van voornoemde arresten staat de auteur stil bij de verschijningsvormen van de bevoegdheid tot het stelselmatig inwinnen van informatie anno nu en de (juridische) bijzonderheden die daaraan verbonden zijn. Tevens pleit de auteur voor meer transparantie over de inzet van deze undercovermethode als een noodzakelijke voorwaarde voor een effectieve rechtmatigheids- en betrouwbaarheidstoets.

Waarover men niet kan spreken, daarover moet men zwijgen

In het straf(proces)recht is het zwijgrecht een fundamenteel recht voor de verdachte. De redenen om gebruik te maken van het zwijgrecht kunnen zeer divers en uiteenlopend zijn: van schuldige tot en met onschuldige, alle gradaties daartussen. Omdat de rechter normaliter niet weet wat de reden is, roept de auteur van het artikel op om niet langer gebruik te maken van het betrekken van het zwijgen van een verdachte in de bewijsvoering. Welbeschouwd is dat – bewijsrechtelijk gezien – ook helemaal niet nodig. Het voorkomt in elk geval (de schijn van) een afbreuk aan de wezenlijke belangen die aan het zwijgrecht ten grondslag liggen.

Odnosząc się do bogatego orzecznictwa, autor wskazuje przyczyny niekonstytucyjności wspomnianego przepisu oraz omawia zarzuty, które można podnieść przed sądem, w przypadku gdyby organ podatkowy zastosował dyspozycję zawartą w tym uregulowaniu.
Reflexões sobre a quem servem o agricultor e o educador na perspectiva da educação do campo
Authors: Dal Ongaro Marisa , Schirmer Gerson Jonas
Published: September 2020

No campo, há uma amplitude de saberes que são revividos e reinventados, permitindo tanto ao agricultor como ao educador um contínuo processo de aperfeiçoamento que complementa a formação continuada e ampliação do conhecimento dos mesmos.  Nesse sentido, este artigo, através de pesquisas bibliográficas, objetiva discutir a relevância dos trabalhos realizados pelo educador do campo e do agricultor, principalmente o agricultor familiar, para a sociedade atual.  Percebe-se que o educador tem um papel fundamental na busca de uma autonomia do agricultor familiar ao mesmo tempo em que pode servir de instrumento de controle destes pelo Estado. É de suma importancia a formação continuada e a discussão da realidade dos educandos para que não ocorra uma alienação destes, causada pela submissão dos educadores e agricultores frente ao sistema capitalista que visa subjugar e controlar essa parcela da sociedade de acordo com seus interesses. Defende-se que o educador deve, através da práxis, resistir ao sistema e construir em união com a comunidade novos conhecimentos na busca de uma educação significativa, que traga uma identidade ao agricultor familiar.
Das políticas de ocupação a agroindustrialização
Authors: Camargo Kelly C. M.
Published: September 2020

O objetivo do artigo é analisar as conexões entre migração e desenvolvimento econômico nos municípios criados no contexto das políticas de reocupação, realizadas entre as décadas de 1960 e 1980. Esses projetos tiveram como intuito incentivar a expansão da fronteira agrícola, e direcionar os fluxos migratórios para áreas consideradas demográfica e economicamente "vazias" nas Regiões Centro-Oeste e Norte do país. Para realizar a análise, empregou-se o estudo de caso do município de Lucas do Rio Verde, localizado no médio norte do Mato Grosso, em área de ecótono entre Cerrado e Floresta Amazônica. Lucas Rio Verde se originou de um Projeto Especial de Assentamento, e se tornou um importante produtor de grãos e alimentos agroindustriais. Através de análise descritiva dos dados socioeconômicos e demográficos das pesquisas de responsabilidade do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), foi possível confirmar que a forma de ocupação planejada pelo governo federal não repercutiu na inclusão produtiva e nem na reprodução de condições socioeconômicas para fixação dos migrantes no espaço rural, de modo que o local de destino do migrante é, sobretudo, o núcleo urbano.
O avesso da nação: a recorrência de relações de trabalho escravo na fronteira amazônica no final do século xx e século xxi
Authors: Neto Vitale Joanoni , Guimarães Neto Regina Beatriz
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo visa tratar da recorrência de relações de trabalho degradantes, conhecidas no Brasil como Trabalho Análogo ao de Escravo ou Trabalho Escravo Contemporâneo, ao longo do século XX, com ênfase em sua presença na fronteira amazônica brasileira. Discutindo a permanência dessas relações de trabalho após o fim do escravismo, predominantemente entre os trabalhadores rurais, analisamos suas reconfigurações até o final do século quando os projetos de Integração da Amazônia foram desenvolvidos pelos governos militares, sob o pretexto de levar homens sem terra para terra sem homens, produzindo degradação ambiental à custa de mão de obra de migrantes, explorados e sem garantias de direitos.

Published: September 2020

O trabalho escravo contemporâneo é um dos muitos elementos que conformam a questão agrária brasileira, sua manutenção e reprodução tem passado pela incorporação de novas roupagens que buscam construir sua naturalidade e aceitação. Neste artigo realizamos algumas reflexões sobre as naturezas conjunturais do trabalho escravo contemporâneo tanto em escala nacional quanto no contexto da Amazônia Oriental. A análise de dados e a respectiva relação com as atividades produtivas no campo tem expressado potencial explicativos explorados em correlação com o fenômeno do trabalho escravo contemporâneo. Além de buscar oferecer uma reflexão crítica sobre o trabalho escravo contemporâneo, o texto também dá especial atenção ao Maranhão e ao Pará, estados da Amazônia Ocidental brasileira que se destacam por promoverem e proverem o trabalho escravo no Brasil. Em outras palavras, evidencia-se que conjunturas espaciais são relevantes para a ocorrência e análise do fenômeno.

As universidades públicas do estado Mato Grosso são o objeto deste trabalho. Elaborou-se uma narrativa cronológica linear das primeiras iniciativas de criação de escolas de ensino superior, contemplando-se as que ocorreram no atual Mato Grosso do Sul, para, em seguida, centrar as atenções sobre Mato Grosso no o período da divisão do Estado, de 1977. No decorrer do trabalho, opera-se uma análise dos discursos que associam às universidades um papel de promoção do desenvolvimento e modernização regional nas esferas econômicas e sociais, na intenção de demonstrar os limites desse tipo de discurso ideológico. Este trabalho é um recorte da tese de doutorado da autoria, intitulada História e Universidade, e, ainda neste trabalho, são contempladas reflexões dirigidas à expansão da UFMT e da UNEMAT rumo o interior do Estado, sobretudo, o espaço que diz respeito à Amazônia norte-mato-grossense.
Nursing Care in a Child with Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Case Study
Authors: Rahkar Farshi Mahni , Jabraeili Mahnaz , Moharrami Naier , Malakouti Jamileh
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Children are sensitive at any age to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are at risk of being infected. The prevalence of this disease in children under ten years of age is reported to be 1%. The most common clinical manifestation of COVID-19 in children is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Nursing management is an important part of the treatment in children with ARDS. Owing to the emergence of COVID-19 and less focus on studies in pediatrics, the present study reports a case of COVID-19 in an 8-year-old child and its caring issues. Case Presentation: This report describes an 8-year-old boy who was referred to Tabriz Children’s Hospital with respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, and dyspnea. He was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. Diagnosis of COVID-19 was made based on the PCR test on the second day of hospitalization. In chest X-ray imaging, in the left lung, consolidation, and glass-opacity was observed. Conclusions: Caring for a child with COVID-19 was a new experience for PICU nurses. The most important caring issues of a child with COVID-19 were continuous monitoring of respiratory status, paying more attention to family informational and emotional support owing to visitation bans, transmission of infection, and the difficulty of caring activities due to the limitations of the use of personal protective equipment.

Published: September 2020

Les lichens, très sensibles à la pollution de l’air, sont souvent absents des
quartiers centraux des grandes agglomérations urbaines (déserts lichéniques). Nous
avons comparé le couvert d’espèces de lichens corticoles sur des arbres inventoriés
dans 105 stations d’échantillonnage dans la ville de Québec en 1985 et 1986 à celui
recensé aux mêmes endroits en 2016. Le couvert lichénique total a augmenté dans 80 %
des stations revisitées en 2016, avec une hausse moyenne de 86 %, toutes espèces et
toutes stations confondues. Candelaria concolor est l’espèce de lichen dont
le couvert a connu la plus forte hausse (+91 %), alors que les 3 espèces les plus
sensibles à la pollution (Evernia mesomorpha, Flavoparmelia caperata et
Punctelia rudecta) sont celles avec les moins fortes hausses. On a
néanmoins détecté la présence de F. caperata dans bien plus de stations en
2016 (34) qu’en 1985 et 1986 (21), y compris dans les quartiers centraux. Le désert
lichénique observé dans les quartiers centraux de Québec en 1985 et 1986 a
totalement disparu en 2016. L’augmentation du couvert lichénique à Québec est
cohérente avec la diminution notable des niveaux de dioxyde de soufre enregistrés
dans la ville depuis le début des années 1990.
Portrait de la pêche hivernale au Québec : historique, gestion et
perspectives

Published: September 2020

Entre les années 1960 et 1980, la pêche récréative hivernale au Québec est
graduellement passée d’une pratique marginale à une activité souvent structurée et
prenant la forme de villages de pêche offrant parfois un service de location de
cabanes. Malgré l’importance de cette activité, la pêche hivernale demeure peu
étudiée comparativement à la pêche estivale. Cet article présente un portrait
actualisé de la pêche hivernale au Québec. Les principales espèces recherchées par
les pêcheurs sportifs en hiver sont le doré jaune, le doré noir, la perchaude, le
grand brochet, le poulamon atlantique et l’éperlan arc-en-ciel. Dans les systèmes du
fleuve Saint-Laurent, de l’estuaire et du golfe du Saint-Laurent, de leurs
tributaires et du lac Champlain (baie Missisquoi), 132 sites de pêche hivernale ont
été répertoriés en 2018-2019, totalisant environ 4 700 cabanes de pêche. Les
informations disponibles sur la pêche hivernale dans certaines régions du Québec,
particulièrement en eaux intérieures, demeurent toutefois incomplètes. La pêche
hivernale présente de grandes possibilités de mise en valeur, mais elle engendre une
pression de pêche qu’il importe de considérer dans la gestion des stocks de poissons
au Québec.

Although D. Petrovich’s recent book The World’s Oldest Alphabet: Hebrew as the Language of the Proto-Consonantal Script advances several claims about the origin of the alphabet and biblical history, its main arguments are linguistic. In particular, Petrovich identifies the language of the early alphabetic inscriptions as Hebrew as part of a larger argument for the historicity of the biblical Exodus tradition. In this review essay, I will summarize and critique Petrovich’s linguistic arguments. Along the way, I will consider two important questions in the classification of the Canaanite languages

We included T1-Control (B.f only); T2-T. harzianum AAUT14+ B.f; T3-B. subtilis AAUB95+B.f; T4-T. harzianum AAUT14+B. subtilis AAUB95+B.f; T5- MORE 720 WP+B.f; T6- ORZEB+B.f as treatments of the study. The disease development was assessed together with yield and related parameters.

Results: In trail 1, a reduction that varied from 31-61% for disease incidence and 13-33% of severity over T1 upon 70 days after sowing. Upon 90 days, the disease incidence and severity was reduced to 20-50% and 36-51%, respectively. Trichoderma harzianum AAUT14+B.subtilis AAUB95 (T4) reduced the disease incidence and severity showing no significance difference (P=.05) with the chemical fungicide, MORE 720 WP (T5) upon 70 and 90 days of sowing. In trial 2, the microbial inoculants reduced the disease incidence and severity to 28-63% and 17-30% upon 70 days. Likewise, the disease incidence and severity was reduced to 23-51% and 37-54% upon 90 days. In addition, the AUDPC ranged from 1586.1-2250.0%DSU in trial 1 and 1382.0-2454.5%DSU in trial 2. Moreover, leaf area of 68.95cm2 was displayed by T4 in trial 1 and 54.14cm2 in trial 2. In addition, T 4 indicated, 62% and 49% increment of hundred seed dry weight and grain yield estimate in trial 1, and 56% and 55%, increase in trial 2 compared to the uninoculated control. The percentage of healthy pods was 90% and 88.87% in trial 1 and 2, respectively, in the treatment that received T4 and followed by T2 that showed 70.40 and 78.86% in trial 1 and 2, respectively.

Background: Women commonly harbour filarial infections during their childbearing years, raising the possibility that the developing foetus may be exposed to filarial antigens in the uterus and thereby have altered immunity and susceptibility to infection during early childhood. However, there are no concrete proofs to justify the risk of infections in infants born from mothers having filarial infections during pregnancy.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of microfilariae in umbilical cord blood and respective mothers and to evaluate the relationship between the cord blood filarial infection and the oxidative stress status and concentration of IL-2, IL-10, IL-13, INF-γ and IgG in umbilical cord blood.

Methods: This was a nested case–control study of cords and mothers of normal gestational age (>250 days of gestation). A total of 316 pairs of umbilical cords and mothers were examined. The presence of microfilariae was assessed by microscopy in mothers and cords. Oxidative stress status (total oxidative stress and total oxidative defence) and nitric oxide of umbilical cord and mother’s blood were investigated by the colorimetric method. ELISA was carried out for IL-2, IL-10, IL-13, INF-γ in umbilical cord and mother’s blood. Equally, umbilical cords were subjected to ELISA for total IgG.

Results: Results obtained showed that microfilariae had a prevalence of 32.9% and 29.7% in umbilical cord blood and women at time of delivery respectively. High levels of total oxidative stress (TOS) with low total oxidative defence (TAD) was found in filarial infected (Mf +ve) umbilical cord and mother’s blood compared to controls or uninfected (Mf -ve) cords and mothers blood. IL-2 was lower in the blood of microfilariae infected cords and mothers, while INF-γ, IL-13 and IL-10 were higher as compared to microfilariae negative cords and mothers. Equally, plasma total IgG concentration was higher in microfilariae positive cords compared to the negative cords and positively correlated with IL-10.

Conclusions: There is high frequency of transplacental transmission of microfilariae. Cord blood filarial infections were associated with a high TOS, a protective immune response with low IL-2 and high INF-γ, and a typical Th2 immune response that was associated with higher concentration of immune total IgG regulatory cytokine IL-10 and IL-13 in neonate.

Psychological counseling, as a contemporary clinical practice, presents itself as a modality concerned with the model as if the new psychic demands are configured and, above all, focused on respecting the historical horizon of meaning in which the one who addresses his request for help is inserted. Within the counseling process in the approach of psychoanalysis, through clinical listening, the objective is to make patients rescue their narratives by becoming protagonists of their history, enabling them to enter a desirous world. Thus, it is believed that psychological counseling has been bringing benefits to the community in general, through the expansion of the possibilities of clinical listening, which has become a possible reference in the public service.

It is well known that different racial groups have significantly different incidence and mortality rates for certain cancers. It has been suggested that biological factors play a major role in these cancer racial disparities. Previous studies on the biological factors contributing to cancer racial disparity have generated a very large number of candidate factors, although there is modest agreement among the results of the different studies. Here, we performed an integrative analysis using genomic data of 21 cancer types from TCGA, GTEx, and the 1000 Genomes Project to identify biological factors contributing to racial disparity in cancer. We also built a companion website with additional results for cancer researchers to freely mine. Our study identified genes, gene families, and pathways displaying similar differential expression patterns between different racial groups across multiple cancer types. Among them, XKR9 gene expression was found to be significantly associated with overall survival for all cancers combined as well as for several individual cancers. Our results point to the interesting hypothesis that XKR9 could be a novel drug target for cancer immunotherapy. Bayesian network modeling showed that XKR9 is linked to important cancer‐related genes, including FOXM1, cyclin B1, and RB1CC1 (RB1 regulator). In addition, metabolic pathways, neural signaling pathways, and several cancer‐related gene families were found to be significantly associated with cancer racial disparities for multiple cancer types. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) discovered through integrating data from the TCGA, GTEx, and 1000 Genomes databases provide biologists the opportunity to test highly promising, targeted hypotheses to gain a deeper understanding of the genetic drivers of cancer racial disparity and cancer biology in general.
Identification of modules and novel prognostic biomarkers in liver cancer through integrated bioinformatics analysis

Published: September 2020

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations at early stages, most patients are already at advanced stages of the disease by the time of diagnosis. Identification of novel biomarkers for liver cancer may thus enable earlier detection, improving outcome. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous noncoding RNAs of 18–22 nucleotides in length, which have a regulatory role in the expression of target proteins. Increased evidence suggests that miRNAs are abnormally expressed in a variety of cancer malignancies. Here, we combined RNA sequencing data and clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma database for weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify potential miRNA prognostic biomarkers. We constructed nine coexpression modules, allowing us to identify that miR‐105‐5p, miR‐767‐5p, miR‐1266‐5p, miR‐4746‐5p, miR‐500a‐3p, miR‐1180‐3p and miR‐139‐5p are significantly associated with liver cancer prognosis. We found that these miRNAs exhibit significant association with prognosis of patients with liver cancer and confirmed the expression of these miRNAs in liver cancer tissues. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that miR‐105‐5p and miR‐139‐5p may be considered as independent factors. In summary, here we report that seven miRNAs have potential value as prognostic biomarkers of liver cancer.
