Published: October 2020

This paper proposes a process for fabricating a poly-dopamine-silk fibroin sponge (PDA-SF) by using dopamine self-assembly and coating the skeleton of a silk fibroin sponge. The PDA-SF sponge was characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, XRD and FT-IR. It was found that the sponge exhibits sheet structures with a pore size of 60 ± 20 μm and poly-dopamine adhered to the surface of pure silk fibroin through noncovalent bond forces. With a hierarchical porous structure, the derived sponge provides fast flow channels and abundant active sites, which will benefit the diffusion and removal of cationic dyes. Batch adsorption and dynamic adsorption of crystal violet (CV) were studied. The batch adsorption capacity of the PDA-SF sponge for CV increased with its PDA content. Under a dynamic adsorption mode, the adsorption efficiency of the PDA-SF sponge for CV (5 mg/L, 200 mL) can reach up to 98.2% after 12 min, whereas it is only 90.2% under stationary mode after 72 h. Furthermore, the sponge shows an outstanding smart adsorption performance. More importantly, the composite sponge still keeps high separation and adsorption efficiencies after 20 cycles, and the appearance remains good.

Published: October 2020

Enzymatic kinetic resolution is one of the methods which allows for the synthesis
of enantiomerically pure various active pharmaceutical ingredients. In contrast to chemical
routes, enzymatic reactions have characteristics, including mild reaction conditions, a few byproducts,
and relatively high activity of the used enzymes. β-adrenolytic drugs are widely
used in the treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. Due to the fact that β-
blockers possess an asymmetric carbon atom in their structure, they are presented in two
enantiomeric forms. It was reported by many studies that only the (S)-enantiomers of these
drugs possess the desired therapeutic effect, whereas the administration of the racemate may
cause dangerous side effects, such as bronchoconstriction or diabetes. Nevertheless, β-
blockers are still commercially available drugs mainly used in medicine as racemates, whereas there are several
methods that are widely used in order to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds.

It has been a while since the disease of cancer was discovered in 16th and 17th century
but still, this disease is one of the most lethal diseases in the world, which is taking a great number
of lives every year. Cancer statistics suggest that there are still a lot of improvements that we have
to make in the field of cancer treatment in order to overcome this deadly disease. Currently,
nanotechnology has provided some more effective methods in this field, which has gained a lot of
attention. Novel drug delivery systems that work using nanoparticles might be the answer to many
unsolved questions in treating cancer. Chitosan is a natural glucose polymer which has the
potential to be utilized as a proper drug carrier due to its advantageous features. Chitosan-based
delivery systems are able to affect cancerous cells in many pathways. Wnt signaling pathways,
which are one of the most essential ingredients of cancer pathogenesis, can be the target of
chitosan nanoformulations. In this paper, we discussed the specific impacts of chitosan and its
nanoformulations on each component of the Wnt/catenin pathway. Our conclusions might give
novel insights for designing more efficient therapeutic approaches for several kinds of cancer.

Investigation and Reliability Analysis of Fifteen-level Asymmetrical Multilevel Inverter Topology using Nearest Level Control Technique with low Component Count
Authors: Roy Abeera D. , Umayal Chandrahasan
Published: October 2020

Background::

In multilevel inverters (MLI) as the number of level increases, there is a proportionate increase in
the count of the semiconductor devices that are employed.

Methods::

An asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology using a bidirectional switch is presented which employs lesser
number of power electronic devices to produce fifteen levels at the output voltage. Nearest Level modulation (NLM)
technique is used to generate the switching pulses and reliability analysis is performed using Markov reliability
methodology. The operating principle of the proposed MLI and its performance abilities is verified through
MATLAB/Simulink and a prototype is developed to provide the experimental results.

Results::

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is computed for proposed MLI for different types of loads in simulation
environment as well as in the developed hardware prototype. The fifteen level is achieved by using only 9 switches and 3
DC sources in comparison to the 28 switches and 6 DC sources required by the traditional cascaded H-bridge inverter.

Conclusion::

The simulation and hardware results confirm the suitability of the proposed fifteen level MLI as the total
component count and the requirement of DC sources reduces considerably.

Published: October 2020

Background

The potential effectiveness of integrated management in further improving the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation has been demonstrated; however, the best strategy for implementation remains to be discovered.

Objective

The aim of this study was to ascertain the feasibility of implementing integrated atrial fibrillation care via the Hospital-Community-Family–Based Telemedicine (HCFT-AF) program.

Methods

In this single-arm, pre-post design pilot study, a multidisciplinary teamwork, supported by efficient infrastructures, provided patients with integrated atrial fibrillation care following the Atrial fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway. Eligible patients were continuously recruited and followed up for at least 4 months. The patients’ drug adherence, and atrial fibrillation–relevant lifestyles and behaviors were assessed at baseline and at 4 months. The acceptability, feasibility, and usability of the HCFT-AF technology devices and engagement with the HCFT-AF program were assessed at 4 months.

Results

A total of 73 patients (mean age, 68.42 years; 52% male) were enrolled in November 2019 with a median follow up of 132 days (IQR 125–138 days). The patients’ drug adherence significantly improved after the 4-month intervention (P<.001). The vast majority (94%, 64/68) of indicated patients received anticoagulant therapy at 4 months, and none of them received antiplatelet therapy unless there was an additional indication. The atrial fibrillation–relevant lifestyles and behaviors ameliorated to varying degrees at the end of the study. In general, the majority of patients provided good feedback on the HCFT-AF intervention. More than three-quarters (76%, 54/71) of patients used the software or website more than once a week and accomplished clinic visits as scheduled.

Conclusions

The atrial fibrillation–integrated care model described in this study is associated with improved drug adherence, standardized therapy rate, and lifestyles of patients, which highlights the possibility to better deliver integrated atrial fibrillation management.

Authors: Fu Xia , Guo Weiai , Zhou Lifang , Song Li , Zhang Guanrong , Zhong Mi , Sun Chunyan , Zheng Shuqian , Chen Yinggui , Liang Xinling , Shi Wei
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

Job burnout is an occupational psychological syndrome with a high prevalence among nurses in China. Hemodialysis (HD) nursing work has the characteristics of high intensity, high technical content, and high risk. However, few studies have investigated the nationwide prevalence of burnout among HD nurses in China.

OBJECTIVE

The main aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and level of job burnout among HD nurses in China and explore the potential factors associated with burnout among HD nurses.

METHODS

This was a cross-sectional study in 2019. Survey data were collected from 2738 HD centers in mainland China. Job burnout was measured by the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. High levels of burnout were defined as emotional exhaustion (EE) scores ≥27, depersonalization (DP) scores ≥10, and personal accomplishment (PA) scores ≤33. The working atmosphere, interpersonal relationships with colleagues, and intention to leave were each assessed by a single question respectively. Multiple linear regression and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used for the analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 10570 surveys were collected from mainland China. The mean age was 33.36 (SD 7.46) years, the mean duration of working in an HD unit was 6.06 (SD 5.27) years, and 9973 (94.35%) were female. A total of 1199 (11.34%) HD nurses reported a high level of EE, 782 (7.40%) reported a high level of DP, and 2220 (21.00%) reported a low level of PA. Job burnout in the Northeastern region of mainland China was higher than that in other regions (P<.05). The working atmosphere, interpersonal relationships, region, hospital level, education level, career planning, age, and number of children were significantly associated with job burnout among HD nurses (P<.001, adjusted R2=0.313). The working environment, individual factors, and specialist nurse training were significantly associated with HD nurse burnout and intention to leave (comparative fit index=0.907; goodness of fit index=0.930; root mean square error of approximation=0.055).

CONCLUSIONS

There were notable regional differences in the burnout of HD nurses. This study contributes to the knowledge of the possible relationship of job burnout and intention to leave in HD nurses. It is suggested that improving the working atmosphere or interpersonal relationships and providing more training opportunities can alleviate job burnout in HD nurses. These findings provide a theoretical framework with which to manage HD nurses more effectively.

This study uses data from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) member firms, with top level supply chain managers as informants. The results suggest that of the three dimensions tested, two are significant contributors to firm profitability, including customer service and business process usage. Relationship confidence was not found to significantly impact overall firm performance.
The role of transportation in customized supply chains
Authors: van Hoek Remko I
Published: October 2020

This paper empirically explores the role of transportation in creating a customized supply chain using postponement. Based on a survey among manufacturers in three countries, it was found that a reconfiguration is needed for the creation of a customized supply chain. In this reconfiguration process, transportation considerations are extremely important, resulting in supply chains and distribution channels that are globalized and reliant on international transport. Postponement is increasingly applied in both manufacturing and distribution. Thus, through the facilitation of postponement and customization activities in the distribution channel, much business is to be gained for transportation and logistics companies.

Published: October 2020

The study of cytokinetic and anatomical properties of the extramophile plant Thellungiella botschantzevii (German) at high concentrations of NaCl and Na2SO4 and without them (control) allowed to identify structural and functional transformations at the cellular level and evaluate the effect of salinity. Cytophotometric method showed the accumulation of cells in the root meristem in G1 and S stages, which indicated the adaptation of Thellungiella botschantzevii to high concentrations of NaCl and Na2SO4. A high level of ploidy (up to 16C) and the maximum number of polyploid cells at the level of 4C and 8C gave the plant stability. Anatomical characteristics of Thellungiella botschantzevii root and leaf were obtained on semi-thin and ultra-thin sections, and accumulation of lipid and protein inclusions in the root cell was determined. The data obtained indicate that Thellungiella botschantzevii is a unique model for various kinds of research, including genetic research, and can help to develop proposals for increasing resistance in crops.

Authors: Zobnina Irina Valentinovna , Korelina Valentina Aleksandrovna , Batakova Olga Borisovna
Published: October 2020

Field experiments were carried out on sod-podzolic medium loamy soil, typical for the Northern region of the Russian Federation, in 2012-2019. The dependence of spring oat yields on abiotic conditions was studied. During the research years, the weather conditions varied significantly, which affected the productivity of spring oat. The yield of spring oat grain was found to have a very weak correlation with the effective temperature sum, weak correlation - with the total precipitation, and negative correlation - with the mean air temperature, which indicates the possibility of seed production of this crop in the Northern region of the Russian Federation. According to the data obtained, grain yields varied significantly from year to year. The reasons for the decline in grain productivity in individual years were different and complex. The most plastic cultivars with high productivity were identified.

Published: October 2020

A survey has been conducted in Bukavu on bovines imported in Democratic Republic of Congo from Rwanda to the public slaughterhouse of Bukavu, with the aim of identifying the Ixodidae ticks on their body. Thus, 1024 ticks have been collected on 300 cows for the entomological identification. Four species have been identified whose Boophilus decoloratus (44.4 %), Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (43.9 %), Amblyomma variegatum (11 %) and Ixodes thomasai (2 %). This last species being a new among those recognized in South Kivu. A charge to ticks of 6.5 has been observed at those bovines and the infestation rate has been significantly different in the 4 races, the Friesland (41.1 %) and Ankolé presented the superior values. The importation of cows in this part of the country from Rwanda is a real factor which conducts to the introduction of ticks and also diseases in Democratic Republic of Congo. Then being measures of heath control in the border must be sustained and reinforced for minimizing real risks.
Abbasid and Samanid military institutions as historical background for the Ghaznawids
Authors: Minjia Yan
Published: October 2020

Brilliant military achievements and fierce struggle between the sovereigns and his troops were characteristic of the Ghaznawid kingdom, the first Turkic dynasty in the history of Iran, while explanation of such paradox demands analysis of historical background for the Turkic rule. In view that one of the most important reasons for the decline of the Abbasids and the Samanids was the Turkic slaves arbitrary interference in the politics, the Abbasid and Samanid military institutions are researched in parallel. Scrutinize of narrative historical texts shows that the organization of armed forces under the two dynasties not only set an example for the Ghaznawids, but also prepared conditions for the Turkic ghulams rise to power, since originally the rulers of the two dynasties were forced to recruit them as reliance for the reign, while they were deprived of sovereignty with the strengthening of Turkic soldiers influence. Therefore, the Ghaznawids, maintaining the priority of the Turkiс component in the army, took precautions against the Turkic soldiers and generals.

Published: October 2020

Currently, in the context of the global transition of the world education system to the remote format, it has become vitally important for a person to be able and ready to independently organise his/her educational and professional activities. The article considers methodological approaches to self-education in the context of its use in the process of lifelong learning/ continuous education. The authors discuss the existing concepts of self-education and ways of its organisation, taking into account age-specific features, forms and types of learning. The concepts of ‘self-organisation’ and ‘self-education’ are analysed. The essence of the scientific categories ‘self-learning’ and ‘self-organisation in education’ is revealed in relation to the system of higher education. The role of tutors as mediators in student self-organisation is shown and their main functions in this process are described. Based on a theoretical analysis of existing forms of self-organisation in education and the experience of using self-organisation, various directions and possibilities of their application in practice are delineated. Careful consideration is given to criticism of the use of self-organisation in learning and its advantages. The authors also discuss the prospects of using self-organisation in higher education, emphasising the importance and relevance of developing self-organisation as a student’s personality trait. A description is made of learning models based on self-organisation of students. Finally, the experience of implementing the self-organisation approach to the educational process is analysed. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that self-learning can be successful if it seems socially significant for students. The use of advanced digital technologies and Internet resources can also contribute to effective self-learning. The results of the study indicate that students should develop the ability to independently organise their educational activities as well as self-control/self-assessment skills, which is especially important in connection with the increase in independent work in curricula and the massive transition to the remote format in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Questionnaire on Assessing Individual Vulnerability to Cyberbullying: Development and Preliminary Validation
Authors: Sheinov Viktor P.
Published: October 2020

Cyberbullying is manifested in repeated deliberate acts of aggression by one or more persons who use electronic means of communication to attack a victim who cannot defend him- or herself. Cyberbullying is a form of violence through harassment, insults, bullying, humiliation or intimidation carried out using the Internet, mobile phones and other electronic devices. Cyberbullying is widespread and causes severe harm to its victims, having a negative impact on their mental and physical health. The purpose of this study is to develop a reliable and valid questionnaire on assessing individual vulnerability to cyberbullying. The article constructs such a questionnaire and proves that it meets the standard reliability criteria: internal consistency, homogeneity and retest reliability. It is shown that the questionnaire is valid and satisfies the key validity criteria: validation in the process of designing the questionnaire, substantive, constructive and convergent validity. The questionnaire is standardised, the norms for young men and women are given, presented in average values and standard deviations. The theoretical basis of the study is the model of manipulative influence (which includes cyberbullying) and the psychological mechanism of cyberbullying described by this model. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model of the presented questionnaire has good indicators of reliability and statistical consistency. The experimental part of the study involved 307 young men and women at the ages from 17 to 21 years old - students of medical colleges and cadets of the University of the Ministry of Emergencies. The study included two stages of psychodiagnostics of the subjects carried out with an interval of two months. The states of individuals vulnerable to cyberbullying, identified using the questionnaire, are consistent with the results obtained in previous studies. The proposed questionnaire makes it possible to warn an individual about the existing or threatening danger of becoming a victim of cyberbullying. The questionnaire can stimulate the study of cyberbullying in the Russian-speaking society and, in particular, in cross-cultural studies.

Elegy and Elegy Mode of Artistry in the Poetry of Rob. Akhmetzyanov and I.A. Kushner
Authors: Khabibullina Alsu Z.
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the examination of elegy features and elegy mode of artistry in Russian and Tatar poetry of 70-80s XX century. The actual basis of the research is formed by A. Kushners poems, modern Russian poet and Robert Akhmetzyanov, known Tatar lyric of the XX century. It is stated that elegy was not included in the circle of traditional Tatar poetry genres (wider - oriental), its genetic roots are bound with other forms like marsiya. The author comes to the conclusion, that poetic cycle Kozge elegiyalar (Autumn elegies) by Rob. Akhmetzyanov fully depicts the identity of Tatar artistic consciousness, its literary identity, reflecting in its ability to correlate its deep experiences with poem form and with its architectonic principles. The comparative analysis has shown that subjective and objective in Rob. Akhmetzyanovs elegies exist in a different, less expressive form of contradiction than in the Russian elegy tradition, which is marked by the connection of the Tatar poets artistic way of thinking with folk poetry. Particularly, in the lyrical cycle the author resorts to paired images, like ike alma (two apples), which also appear in the Tatar song. The research proved that Rob.Akhmetzyanovs creativity can be considered as catalyst of elegy in the national literature of the XX century: elegy form and its techniques contributed to the genre recognizability, more than that, elegy became the field of representation of the avant-garde spirit of the Tatar authors creativity. In the A.Kushners poetry elegy and idyllic interact in the same lyrical plot, thus transforming the stable features of the genres mentioned and their modality (Ukhodit leto (The summers leaving), Mne kazhetsya (It seems to me) etc.
Syntactic Transformations in Russian Translations of A. Kadiri’s Novel “Past Days”
Authors: Khidirova Gulnora N.
Published: October 2020

The compared languages (Uzbek and Russian) belong to languages of different grammatical structure, which has a decisive theoretical and practical significance in the cognition of linguistic phenomena. The grammatical structure of these languages is determined by the nature of their syntax and morphology. Differences in languages at different levels of their system cause translation difficulties. This is the reason for the use of syntactic transformations in the translation process. The article analyzes syntactic transformations - transformations of the structure of a sentence or one syntactic type of sentence into another, based on the material of Russian translations of A. Kadiris novel Past Days. It is shown that transformations occupy an important place in literary translation, since it is often impossible to use correspondences from dictionaries. With the help of transformations, it is possible to change the internal form of lexical units or replace one or another syntactic structure for an adequate transfer of content. Based on factual material, the influence of lexical, grammatical and stylistic factors on the methods of interlingual replacement, means of compensation, various transformations, including syntactic transformations, is considered.
Updating the Role of α-Cell Preproglucagon Products on GLP-1 Receptor–Mediated Insulin Secretion
Authors: Sandoval Darleen
Published: October 2020

While the field of islet biology has historically focused its attention on understanding β-cell function and the mechanisms by which these cells become dysfunctional with diabetes, there has been a scientific shift toward greater understanding of other endocrine cells of the islet and their paracrine role in regulating the β-cell. In recent years, many questions and new data have come forward regarding the paracrine role of the α-cell and specifically preproglucagon peptides in regulating insulin secretion. The role of intestinally secreted glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in regulation of insulin secretion has been questioned, and a physiological role of pancreatic GLP-1 in regulation of insulin secretion has been proposed. In addition, in the last 2 years, a series of studies demonstrated a physiological role for glucagon, acting via the GLP-1 receptor, in paracrine regulation of insulin secretion. Altogether, this work challenges the textbook physiology of both GLP-1 and glucagon and presents a critical paradigm shift for the field. This article addresses these new findings surrounding α-cell preproglucagon products, with a particular focus on GLP-1, in the context of their roles in insulin secretion and consequently glucose metabolism.
