Detection of viable Dichelobacter nodosus by real-time PCR using PMAxx™ v1
Authors: Kuhnert Peter , Hidber Tobias
Published: January 2020

Dichelobacter nodosus is a gram-negative fastidious anaerobic bacterium and the causative agent of ovine footrot. The disease has a global presence and is endemic in many countries. Clinical symptoms range from mild interdigital dermatitis in benign footrot to severe underrunning and separation of the hoof horn from the underlying tissue in virulent footrot. Clinical symptoms start as early as 2 weeks after first contact and the disease leads to pain, lameness, decreased meat and wool production as well as animal welfare issues. Diagnosis has improved significantly by the development of a real-time PCR to detect and discriminate virulent (aprV2-positive) and benign (aprB2-positive) D. nodosus strains. However, the real-time PCR also detects dead cells making its use for testing e.g. disinfecting agents limited. A PMA (propidium monoazid) real-time PCR using the improved dye PMAxx™ was therefore developed for virulent D. nodosus that allows discrimination of viable and dead bacteria. The distinction between viable and non-viable cells is possible, based on membrane integrity. For that purpose, the samples containing D. nodosus are treated with the improved nucleic acid intercalating PMA dye PMAxx™ that selectively enters cells with compromised cell membranes, whereas the intact cell membrane presents a natural barrier for this molecule. After exposure to strong light, it covalently binds to the DNA, preventing DNA from being amplified by PCR, thereby enabling differentiation of viable from non-viable cells. The PMA-qPCR proved to be a valid method for comparison of antimicrobial efficiency in ex vivo experiments.

FORECASTING SEISMIC RESISTANCE OF REAL ESTATE UNFINISHED CONSTRUCTION
Authors: ALEKSEENKO Vassily N. , ZHILENKO Oksana B.
Published: January 2020

The article deals with the problem of completing the construction of buildings that have been in an unfi nished state for a number of years. Such objects need a predictive assessment of their technical condition and residual seismic resistance, which reveals the real state of structures and the need to develop engineering solutions for their strengthening. The onset of corrosion of steel cannot be stopped if the corrosion products are not completely removed from the surface of the steel elements, then they are protected with anticorrosion compounds. For structures whose condition at fi rst glance should not cause concern over the years may deteriorate. The restoration of protective coatings on steel that has started to rust may slow down the corrosion process, but not stop it. The article presents the results of a survey of the unfi nished construction of a building on the Black Sea coast with a forecast estimate of residual seismic resistance. Recommendations to strengthen the supporting structures of the building, allowing to complete the construction are developed.

Authors: VOLOGDINA Natalia N. , TSATSYNA Diana E.
Published: January 2020

Based on the study of the area that has lost the city-forming function, the principles and models for the reconstruction of the object, which has a unique cultural and historical basis and structure built into the town-planning framework of the city, have been developed. Attention is drawn to the lack of policies and adequate renovation programs for industrial areas that are in a devastating state. The result of randomness of the development of the territory by random functions, which lasted for decades, refl ects the state of stagnation in solving global issues of urban planning and regulation. The uniqueness of the object of reconstruction as a carrier of cultural meanings and an important transport and communication hub is revealed. This provision leads the authors to conclude that it is necessary to consider actions to preserve and use sign architecture as an imperative.

Published: January 2020

This article presents the results of a theoretical study of the impact of the density of monolithic expanded clay concrete on the specific energy consumption in the operation of the cottage building in conditions of intermittent heating. In view of the fact that the outer walls are made in the form of well masonry of various materials, in order to simplify the solution of the problem, averaging of their main thermal characteristics is made. In determining the effect of heating the outer wall and the specific energy used the author's approximate analytical method, convenient for engineering calculations. The study showed that the use no-fine expanded-clay lightweight concrete significantly reduces the specific energy consumption compared to conventional large-porous expanded clay. The lowest energy consumption according to the calculation results refers to the minimum density of sandless no-fine expanded-clay lightweight concrete, equal to 300 kg/m3.

The Usage of Web Services for Consistency Improvement in Pairwise Comparison Matrixes
Authors: Kurennykh A.E. , Sudakov V.A. , Osipov V.P.
Published: January 2020

Paired comparisons of criteria and alternatives are widely used in a large number of technical and scientific problems of the present, in which it is necessary to rank a finite set of objects or to evaluate an object. Paired comparisons are understandable and simple for an expert, they are a high-quality and reliable way of rating, however, it is known that the complexity and dimension of the criteria space in many problems leads to a high load on the expert, as a result of which incorrect or erroneous situations may arise when compiling matrixes of paired comparisons leading to a decrease in the coherence of judgments, and, as a consequence, to the adoption of irrational decisions. Algorithmic software to increase the consistency of judgments is in demand among experts and researchers, which, together with a large number of diverse tasks, creates requirements for the development of appropriate software: the ability to access a large number of users and independence from the subject area, which are highly satisfied by the web interface. In this paper, the authors describe an effective method for increasing the consistency of judgments in matrixes of pairwise comparisons. The main objective of the method is to maximize the consistency of judgments with a minimum of changes made to the matrix proposed by the expert as initial estimates. As a quantitative measure of consistency of judgments, a classic indicator is used – the index of consistency. Based on the created algorithm, the authors developed software that is available to researchers in distributed web services to support decision-making ws-dss.com.

On a Decomposition Method in the Problem of Operation Speed for a Linear Discrete System with Bounded Control
Authors: Ibragimov D.N. , Turchak E.E.
Published: January 2020

The article presents the problem of operation speed for a linear discrete system with bounded control. For the case when the minimum number of steps necessary for the system to reach zero significantly exceeds the dimension of the phase space, a method of decomposition into scalar and two-dimensional subsystems is developed, based on the reduction of the state matrix to normal Jordan form. Moreover, due to the developed algorithm for adding two polyhedrons with linear complexity, it is possible to construct sets of 0-controllability for two-dimensional subsystems in an explicit form. A description of the main tools for solving the problem of operation speed is also presented, as well as the statement of the decomposition problem. Further, some properties of polyhedrons in the plane are formulated and proved, on the basis of which an algorithm for calculating the set of vertices of the sum of two polyhedrons in R2 in explicit form is developed. In conclusion, the main decomposition theorem is formulated and proved. And on the basis of the developed methods, the solution to the problem of the optimal damping speed of a high-rise structure located in the zone of seismic activity was constructed.
Antidepressant-like action of hypoxic postconditioning is accompanied by the up-regulation of hippocampal HIF-1α and erythropoietin
Authors: Zenko Mikhail Yu. , Rybnikova Elena A.
Published: January 2020

Objective. The aim of the study was to reveal the role of HIF-1 in the effects of hypoxic postconditioning in the rat experimental model of depression learned helplessness.
Materials and methods. The studies were performed in the learned helplessness paradigm which represents a reliable experimental model of depression in rats. The development of the pathology was evaluated in the behavioral open field test and by the baseline level of plasma corticosterone. Correction of behavioral deficit was performed by three episodes of hypoxic postconditioning (360 mmHg, 2 h). Changes in the immunopositivity of HIF-1 and erythropoietin in the hippocampus of rats were evaluated. An inhibitor of HIF-1 subunit translation topotecan (1 mg/kg, i.p., Santa Cruz, USA) was used on the 4th day after the footshock stress. On the 9th day, animals were tested in the open field test to assess the level of depressive-like behavior.
Results. It was shown that postconditioning by three episodes of mild hypobaric hypoxia resulted in the correction of behavioral deficit produced by the learned helplessness aversive stress, and the levels of corticosterone did not differ from the baseline in these animals. These behavioral and hormonal effects were accompanied by the increased level of immunopositive HIF-1 and its transcriptional downstream target erythropoietin in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus. Using of HIF-1 inhibitor topotecan dramatically worsen the severity of the depressive-like symptoms.
Conclusion. The findings suggest that HIF-1 appears to have the antidepressant-like activities and that hypoxic postconditioning-induced stimulation of HIF-1 and erythropoietin level might contribute to the endogenous mechanisms which compensate for the pathogenic effects of stressors, particularly for the development of stress-induced depression.
Effect of long-term emotional-painful stress on the leukocyte composition of blood in rats with different levels of excitability of the nervous system
Authors: Shalaginova Irina G. , Sheremet Vera V. , Khlebaeva Diana A. , Vaido Alexander I. , Dyuzhikova Natalia A.
Published: January 2020

Post-stress states in animals and humans are accompanied by the development of neuro- and peripheral inflammation. The mechanisms of such immune dysfunctions, their contribution to the pathogenesis of stress-related diseases, as well as the dependence of the intensity of poststress inflammation on genetically determined features of the nervous system, have not been clarified.
Aim: to assess the dynamics of the development of poststress inflammation depending on the genetically determined level of excitability of the nervous system in rats.
Materials and methods. The study was carried out on male rats of two lines, selected by the threshold of excitability of the nervous system-the line HT (high threshold of excitability) and LT (low threshold of excitability). As a model of chronic stress, the Protocol of long-term emotional and pain exposure according to Hecht was used. To investigate the dynamics of changes in the leukocyte formula, three time points were selected: 24 hours, 7 days and 24 days after the stressor. Morphological analysis of blood was carried out to determine the leukogram, for which the leukocytes were counted in a blood smear stained by Romanovsky-Gimza.
Results. Chronic stress leads to an increase in the leukocyte shift index only in the experimental group of highly excitable rats of the LT line compared with control animals of the same line. The significance of the differences is confirmed on day 7 after the end of the stressor. No interline differences in neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios were found in intact animals of LT and HT lines.
Conclusion. In rats with a genetically determined high level of excitability of the nervous system, post-stressor systemic inflammation appears 7 days after the end of the stressor. Animals with a low level of excitability of the nervous system had no signs of post-stress inflammation throughout the observations. The article discusses the possible mechanisms of detected immune dysfunctions in animals due to high excitability of the central nervous system.

Published: January 2020

Objective. We aimed to analyze the alterations of concentration and activity of iron metabolism proteins in samples obtained from rats with hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin (STZ).
Materials and methods. Concentration and activity of ceruloplasmin (Cp) and transferrin (Tf), concentration of glucose, fructosamine, hemoglobin, ferritin (Ft), and iron were measured in blood samples obtained from rats after injection of STZ or saline (control). To develop in-house ELISA, highly purified preparations of Cp, Tf, and Ft, as well as specific antibodies against these proteins, were obtained.
Results. The hyperglycemia in rats after STZ injection was confirmed by increase in glucose and fructosamine serum concentrations. Increase in Cp concentration and decrease in specific ferroxidase activity of Cp, concentration of Tf and Ft were observed in hyperglycemic rats. However, the absence of changes in iron concentration and total iron binding capacity of serum is indicative of compensatory response.
Conclusion. STZ-induced hyperglycemia in rats was characterized by alteration of activity and concentration of iron metabolism proteins, however, this alteration was negated by homeostatic response. The alterations of Cp and Tf concentrations observed in this study are similar to those in acute phase of inflammation.

Published: January 2020

The Bayesian earthquake analysis tool (BEAT) is an open-source Python software to conduct source-parameter estimation studies for crustal deformation events, such as earthquakes and magma intrusions, by employing a Bayesian framework with a flexible problem definition. The software features functionality to calculate Green’s functions for a homogeneous or a layered elastic half-space. Furthermore, algorithm(s) that explore the solution space may be selected from a suite of implemented samplers. If desired, BEAT’s modular architecture allows for easy implementation of additional features, for example, alternative sampling algorithms. We demonstrate the functionality and performance of the package using five earthquake source estimation examples: a full moment-tensor estimation; a double-couple moment-tensor estimation; an estimation for a rectangular finite source; a static finite-fault estimation with variable slip; and a full kinematic finite-fault estimation with variable hypocenter location, rupture velocity, and rupture duration. This software integrates many aspects of source studies and provides an extensive framework for joint use of geodetic and seismic data for nonlinear source- and noise-covariance estimation within layered elastic half-spaces. Furthermore, the software also provides an open platform for further methodological development and for reproducible source studies in the geophysical community.
Da navegação à emigração: o império colonial no cinema português de ficção anterior à Revolução dos Cravos / From Navigation to Emigration: The Colonial Empire in Portuguese Fiction Cinema Before the Carnation Revolution
Authors: Lisboa Edimara
Published: January 2020

Resumo: Uma nação de navegadores transformada em país de emigrantes. A partir desse diagnóstico, Eduardo Lourenço, no ensaio “A nau de Ícaro ou o fim da emigração”, escrito em 1993, compreende a identidade nacional portuguesa como “um colossal fenômeno de expatriação”. Em observação a dois filmes ficcionais paradigmáticos da tematização do colonialismo pelo cinema português anterior à redemocratização, Chaimite (1953) de Jorge Brum do Canto e Mudar de Vida (1966) de Paulo Rocha, o referido diagnóstico torna-se especialmente sugestivo, uma vez que a imagem gloriosa do herói português desbravador e civilizador de outros povos, apresentada pelo primeiro filme, acaba transformada, pelo segundo, na figura melancólica do trabalhador que, sem perspectiva de adequação aos novos sistemas produtivos, percebe a emigração como única alternativa. É a partir dessa relação que aqui se pretende discutir essas duas obras cinematográficas em atenção ao contexto histórico em que foram produzidas.Palavras-chave: cinema português; salazarismo; colonialismo; guerra colonial.Abstract: A nation of navigators turned into a country of emigrants. From this diagnosis, Eduardo Lourenço, in the essay “A nau de Ícaro ou o fim da emigração”, written in 1993, understands Portuguese national identity as “a colossal phenomenon of expatriation”. Observing two paradigmatic fictional movies of the thematization of colonialism by Portuguese cinema before re-democratization, Chaimite (1953) by Jorge Brum do Canto and Mudar de Vida (1966) by Paulo Rocha, this diagnosis becomes especially suggestive, since the glorious image of the pioneering Portuguese hero as the civilizer of the other peoples, on the first film, becomes, in the second, the melancholy figure of the worker who, with no prospect of adapting to the new production systems, perceives emigration as the only alternative. It is from this relationship that we intend to discuss these two cinematographic works in attention to the historical context in which the two movies were produced.Keywords: Portuguese cinema; salazarism; colonialism; colonial war.

Herberto Helder e as naturezas-mortas / Herberto Helder and the Still Lifes
Authors: Velasco Fernando
Published: January 2020

Resumo: Este artigo explora algumas das relações que a literatura de Herberto Helder estabelece (ou permite estabelecer) com outras artes e mídias, adotando desta forma as intermidialidades como perspectiva metodológica favorável à interrogação de temas que estruturam toda a escrita do poeta, como o do tempo, o da imagem e o da morte. Para isso, toma-se como ponto de partida a ideia de natureza-morta, tal como ela aparece (ou como ela se permite pensar) na pintura, no cinema e no vídeo – artes ou mídias com as quais a poesia de Herberto Helder mantém relações importantes. Em abordagem intermidial, portanto, o artigo propõe articulações entre concepções distintas da imagem, diferentes regimes do tempo e perspectivas diversas sobre a morte, apreensíveis no cruzamento entre reflexões sobre a poesia de Herberto Helder em particular e sobre as artes em geral. Procura-se assim reconhecer elos entre os olhares que certa literatura e alguma arte lançam sobre o tema da morte, por um lado, e as concepções do tempo e regimes da imagem que apontam, por outro. O que significa ainda que se pretende apresentar, reciprocamente, relações entre modos como poesia e arte entendem o tempo e a imagem e aquilo que afirmam sobre a morte – em Herberto Helder e não só.Palavras-chave: Herberto Helder; intermidialidades; tempo; imagem; morte.Abstract: This article explores some of the relations that Herberto Helder’s literature establishes (or allow us to establish) with other arts and media, thus adopting intermedialiaties as a methodological perspective that favours the interrogation of themes that are structural for the poet’s writing as a whole, such as time, image and death. In order to do so, the idea of still life is taken as a departing point, as it appears (or as it allows itself to be reflected upon) in painting, cinema and video – arts or media with which Herberto Helder’s poetry maintains important interaction. In an intermedial approach, thus, the article proposes links between different conceptions of the image, diverse regimes of time and various perspectives on death, grasped in the crossing of reflections on Herberto Helder’s poetry in particular and on arts in general. We thus attempt to recognize links between the looks that some literature and some art cast on the subject of death, on the one hand, and the conceptions of time and regimes of the image that they point to, on the other. This also means that we intend to present, reciprocally, relations between the ways in which poetry and art understand time and image and what they claim about death – in Herberto Helder and beyond.Keywords: Herberto Helder; intermedialities; time; image; death.

Aínda que o número de galegofalantes continúa a diminuír de modo especialmente preocupante, nos últimos tempos o panorama sociolingüístico está a mudar de maneira significativa, presenciando o aparecemento dunha minoría urbana e falante nativa de español que reaxe con determinación perante o desequilibrio lingüístico na Galiza. Estas persoas neofalantes desempeñan un papel fundamental na transformación das ideoloxías e das prácticas lingüísticas, o que as torna unha peza chave no futuro da lingua galega. En concreto, neste artigo afondaremos no fenómeno do neofalantismo do punto de vista teórico, con énfase na recente proliferación de traballos académicos sobre esta cuestión tanto a nivel internacional canto nacional, en conformidade coa importancia que este fenómeno social posúe para a revitalización e a sobrevivencia das linguas minorizadas, incluíndo o idioma galego.

Size Matters
Authors: Lesh Kerri
Published: January 2020

Text production indexes a set of values as semiotics are utilized to market
gastronomic products. These values are referenced through the language used, various
font styles and sizes, and the food being promoted. The Basque Country has become a
�Culinary nation,� world-renowned for its unique culture and gastronomy. This paper
looks at how semiotics are used to create value in marketing locally-made wine and
cider. A ubiquitously seen Basque font is used for both cider and wine to reference
traditional components of Basque culture, while font size on Rioja Alavesa wine labels
stresses the distinction between neighboring regions. The use of language alongside
font style and size are part of a system that simultaneously indexes political, social,
and linguistic affinities. By looking at how and where semiotics are manipulated to
create meaning, value can be increased or even decreased for both the product and the
Basque language alike.

Since 2006, our research team has been establishing in the islands of Livingston and Deception, (South Shetland archipelago, Antarctica) several monitoring stations of the active layer thickness within the international network Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM), and the ground thermal regime for the Ground Terrestrial Network-Permafrost (GTN-P). Both networks were developed within the International Permafrost Association (IPA). In the GTN-P stations, in addition to the temperature of the air, soil, and terrain at different depths, the snow thickness is also monitored by snow poles. Since 2006, a delay in the disappearance of the snow layer has been observed, which could explain the variations we observed in the active layer thickness and permafrost temperatures. Therefore, in late 2015 our research group started the PERMASNOW project (2015-2019) to pay attention to the effect of snow cover on ground thermal This project had two different ways to study the snow cover. On the first hand, in early 2017 we deployed new instrumentation, including new time lapse cameras, snow poles with high number of sensors and a complete and complex set of instruments and sensors to configure a snow pack analyzer station providing 32 environmental and snow parameters. We used the data acquired along 2017 and 2018 years with the new instruments, together with the available from all our already existing sensors, to study in detail the snow cover. On the other hand, remote sensing data were used to try to map the snow cover, not only at our monitoring stations but the entire islands in order to map and study the snow cover distribution, as well as to start the way for future permafrost mapping in the entire islands. MODIS-derived surface temperatures and albedo products were used to detect the snow cover and to test the surface temperature. Since cloud presence limited the acquisition of valid observations of MODIS sensor, we also analyzed Terrasar X data to overcome this limitation. Remote sensing data validation required the acquirement of in situ ground-true data, consisting on data from our permanent instruments, as well as ad hoc measurements in the field (snow cover mapping, snow pits, albedo characterization, etc.). Although the project is finished, the data analysis is still ongoing. We present here the different research tasks we are developing as well as the most important results we already obtained about the snow cover. These results confirm how the snow cover duration has been changing in the last years, affecting the ground thermal behavior.

Published: January 2020

Background: Injection snoreplasty was recently introduced as a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for primary snoring. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the treatment in our patients.

Methods: The study was a prospective, non-randomised study done on 40 patients with primary snoring. Study was done in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at Basaveshwara Medical College and Hospital, Chitradurga over 8 months between March 2019 to October 2019. The data was collected from patients about their symptoms. Detailed clinical and radiological examination was done in all patients. Almost each and every causes of snoring were ruled out. 1-3% polidocanol injection of about 1 ml with insulin syringe was administered in all the patients in 1 to 3 sittings after 10% LOX spray application on the site. Patients were assessed after 1, 3 and 6 months and their improvement was noted.  

Results: There were 24 (60%) males and 16 (40%) females enrolled in our study with mean age as 42±5 years. The average BMI of patients was 27.14±3.1 kg/m2. All the patients except 4 were initially injected 1% polidocanol injection; the others were injected 3%. 4 (10%) patients were re-injected at 1 month and 4 (10%) had 2nd re-injection at 3 months follow up. The mean improvement in symptoms was 58%. Eleven patients (27.5%) had moderate snoring while the rest had severe snoring. The only side effect was pain which in majority of patients was mild. There was no correlation between BMI and percentage of improvement.

Conclusions: Injection snoreplasty is a safe and cost-effective treatment for primary snoring.

The results of finite element modeling and experimental evaluation of dynamic characteristics (vibration modes and frequencies) of the composite element of aircraft power plant structures are presented. The aim of the work is to develop effective design and technological schemes for thin-walled complex-geometry composite parts, taking into account the peculiarities of mechanical behavior of polymer composite materials to the fullest extent possible. A method for determining the parameters of natural oscillations of composite parts in a free state using a ping test is developed, which allows excluding the influence of kinematic boundary conditions and obtaining frequency characteristics that depend only on the local characteristics of the material which are primarily determined by the manufacturing technology. According to the results of measurements of the amplitude-frequency parameters of the dynamic response, spectrograms of damped oscillations are obtained the peak values of which correspond to the experimental evaluation of the natural frequencies of the composite part. Verification of the design model was carried out according to the results of the ping test and a method for assessing the quality of technological processes of manufacturing thin-walled carbon fiber structures was proposed.
Determination of octanol/water partition coefficients for long-chain homologs of orcinol from cereal grains.
Authors: Kozubek A
Published: January 2020

Polycratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) was used for estimation of the octanol/water partition coefficient for three highly hydrophobic long chain orcinol homologs. The homologs studied (C 15:0, C 17:0 and C 19:0) showed high preference for hydrophobic phase as evidenced by their high octanol/water partition coefficient (log Po/w) values of 7.02-7.74; 8.71-9.47 and 10.49-11.32 for the 95% prediction interval, respectively. Experimentally estimated values were compared with log P values calculated with the use of several fragmental systems. The experimental values of log Po/w are in best agreement to those calculated with the use of the Klopman system (Klopman, G., Namboodiri, K. & Schochet, M., 1985, J. Comput. Chem. 6, 28-38). The lack of appropriate standard compounds with known log Po/w in the range over 6 markedly affected the accuracy of experimental determinations.

The effect of doubly charged ion additives on the activity and chemical stability of catalytically active potassium ferrites
Authors: Anikanova L. G. , Dvoretskii N. V.
Published: January 2020

To reveal the effect of the dopant doubly charged ion size on the catalytic properties, samples of potassium polyferrites of β′′-alumina type with the composition K2FeII1-q MqFeIII 10O17, where M = Mg, Zn, and K2–2qFeIIMqFeIII 10O17, where M = Ca, Sr, and q = 0.4, were synthesized. The mechanism of action of the introduced doubly charged cations on the activity, selectivity and corrosion resistance of potassium β′′-polyferrite was elucidated. It was shown for the first time that the size of doubly charged cations determines their position in the structure of β′′-polyferrite: they either enter the spinel-like moiety and substitute Fe2+ ions, or substitute potassium in the intermoiety space. The introduction of Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions dramatically reduces the catalytic activity and selectivity of β′′-polyferrite. The application of such additives is undesirable. Small amounts of Ca2+ and Sr2+ cations significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the catalyst by decreasing the mobility of potassium ions within the cation-conducting layer.
