Authors: Asturias Gabriela , Cordon Ana , Pineda Estuardo , Figueroa Alice , Zhang Xian , Proaño Gabriela V , Jimenez Elizabeth Yakes , Rohloff Peter
Published: March 2022

Background
Guatemala has one of the highest rates of chronic child malnutrition (stunting) in the world, with minimal improvements over time, despite intensifying efforts. In 2018, a mapping effort was conducted with nutrition stakeholders, modelled after similar successful efforts in other countries.
Methods
A public-private consortium used a survey to collect information from non-governmental nutrition stakeholders in Guatemala, including institutional name, sector, geographic areas of activities, and types of activities implemented. The survey data were used to populate an online mapping tool (ArcGIS Online). The distribution of institutions and programmatic activities at the departmental level was compared to child stunting prevalence using heat maps and linear regression. Geographic distribution of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive activities aligning with Guatemala's four national strategy pillars (primary care services; education and behavior change; water sanitation and hygiene; and household income generation) were examined.
Results
5,861 program activities from 99 institutions were mapped. The majority of institutions were national non-governmental, community-based, or private sector organizations. Heat maps and statistical analysis demonstrated some misalignment between the distribution of resources versus national strategy priority areas and nutrition need. There were a low number of education and behavior change activities at a national level and relatively few primary care and health-sector strengthening activities in some priority departments.
Conclusions
Mapping stakeholder institutions and nutrition activities in Guatemala identified several areas where resource allocation could be optimized to better address child stunting. The mapping initiative has been incorporated into Guatemala's national planning process and can assist with future monitoring efforts.

Im Dezember 2021 hat die Grosse Kammer des Europäi- schen Gerichtshofs (EuGH) in einem beschleunigten Verfahren ein wegweisendes Urteil betreffend die Personenfreizügigkeit von Kindern gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare gefällt. Der EuGH entschied im Fall «Pancharevo», dass die bulgarischen Behörden verpflichtet seien, einem Kind mit zwei Müttern einen Personalausweis oder Reisepass auszustellen. Die zuständige bulgarische Behörde hattesich geweigert, eine spanische Geburtsurkunde, die eine bulgarische und eine britische Staatsangehörige als Mütter auswies, anzuerkennen und dem Kind der beiden Mütter eine bulgarische Geburtsurkunde auszustellen, sofern nicht offengelegt werde, wer die leibliche Mutter des Kindes sei. Die Geburtsurkunde war aber für die Ausstellung eines bulgarischen Identitätsdokuments nötig. Der EuGH stellte klar, dass Bulgarien (ebenso wie die anderen Mitgliedstaaten) unionsrechtlich verpflichtet sei, die spanische Geburtsurkunde anzuerkennen. Das Urteil ist ein wichtiger Schritt in Richtung Anerkennung und Stärkung der Rechte von «Regenbogenfamilien» auf EU-Ebene.

Bose-Einstein condensate in an elliptical waveguide
Authors: Salasnich Luca
Published: March 2022

We investigate the effects of spatial curvature for an atomic
Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an elliptical waveguide. The
system is well described by an effective 1D Gross-Pitaevskii equation
with a quantum-curvature potential, which has the shape of a double-well
but crucially depends on the eccentricity of the ellipse.
The ground state of the system displays a quantum phase transition
from a two-peak configuration to a one-peak configuration
at a critical attractive interaction strength. In correspondence
of this phase transition the superfluid fraction strongly reduces
and goes to zero for a sufficiently attractive Bose-Bose interaction.
Preparation and In Vitro Evaluation of Thermosensitive Liposomes Targeting Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Pu Ximing , Wang Xingming , Wang Fang , Li Sixie , Yin Guangfu
Published: March 2022

Introduction:

Liposomes have been widely used in drug delivery systems because the encapsulation
of liposomes changes the biological distribution profile and improves the therapeutic indices of
various drugs. Thermosensitive liposomes have been proven to be a precise and effective method for
cancer therapy in many preclinical studies. However, the lack of specific targeting ability to cancer cells
limited their application in safe and efficient chemotherapy.

Materials and Methods:

In the present study, an ovarian targeting ligand namely WSGFPGVWGASVK (WSG)
screened by phage display in vivo was grafted on the thermosensitive phospholipids to prepare the liposomes
targeting ovarian cancer cells. WSG was first grafted onto the hydrophilic terminal of DSPEPEG2000
molecules, and then the WSG modified thermosensitive liposomes (WSG-Lipo) were prepared
by thin-film hydration method. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was used as a model drug to investigate
the drug release behavior of liposomes at different temperatures. The specificity of liposomes to
SKOV-3 cells was studied by cell uptake in vitro.

Results:

The WSG-Lipo-DOX could release more DOX at 42°C than at 37°C, showing stronger specificity
to SKOV-3 cells and thus selectively inhibiting SKOV-3 cells activity in vitro.

Conclusion:

The active targeting liposome showed potential in improving the specificity of thermosensitive
liposomes and would be applied in the chemotherapy combined with a thermotherapy.

Authors: Dutt Rohit , Kaushik Deepak , Sinha Suhani , Thapa Sonia , Singh Shashank , Verma Ravinder , Pandey Parijat , Mittal Vineet , Rahman Md. Habibur
Published: March 2022

Background:

The main limitations of the therapeutic effectiveness of tizanidine hydrochloride (TNZ) are its low bioavailability due to its tendency to undergo first-pass metabolism and short biological half-life. These factors make it an ideal candidate for formulating orally disintegrating films.

Objective:

The present study was aimed to prepare nanoparticles of tizanidine hydrochloride using biodegradable polymers and loading them on orodispersible films to obtain a sustained release dissolution profile with improved permeability and further study the cytotoxicity on A549 lung carcinoma cells, MCF7 breast cancer cells, and HOP 92 non-small lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Methods:

The fast-dissolving film of TNZ HCl was prepared by the solvent-casting method and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, and XRD, and evaluated for critical quality attributes for this type of dosage form such as disintegration time, tensile strength, drug content, dissolution, and ex vivo permeability. In vitro cytotoxicity studies were also conducted on cancer cell lines to confirm the cytotoxic effect.

Results:

The polymeric matrix containing the drug provided a rapid disintegration time varying between 7±2 and 30±2 seconds, adequate tensile strength between 1.4 and 11.25 N/mm2, and improved permeability through porcine buccal mucosa when compared to the reference product.

Conclusion:

A study of the cytotoxic effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cells and A549 lung carcinoma cells revealed that tizanidine hydrochloride nanoparticles at 2.3 mg/film exhibited an IC50 value of 65.1 % cytotoxicity on MCF-7, approximately 100% on HOP92, and 83.5 % on A549 lung carcinoma cells, thus paving the way for a new paradigm of research for a cytotoxic study on MCF-7, HOP92, and A549 cell lines using the subject drug model prepared as oral films or biodegradable nanoparticles in oral films for site-specific targeting.

Alleviation of Functional GI Diseases
Authors: Malik Taqdees , Naz Sheikh Saba
Published: March 2022

Background:

Functional Gastrointestinal (GI) disease is a term that refers to a range
of disease conditions involving chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation,
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and lactose intolerance. Statistical reports have documented
>40% of the world's population is being afflicted by functional GI disorders. Consequences of
frequent intake of antibiotics include mortality of gut microflora, antibiotic-associated diarrhea,
the establishment of antibiotic resistance, and inference with healthy bodily functions. To
overcome the harms of antibiotics, studies are being conducted to determine the potential of
probiotics as alternatives to antibiotics.

Aim of Study:

The purpose of constructing this literature review is to outline the potential
attributes of Kefir and to assess the solitary efficiency of this beverage in the amelioration of GI
disease conditions.

Methodology:

Extraction of data entailed digging of literature hubs including PubMed, PubMed
Central, Research Gate, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, employing a different combination
of keywords to retrieve substantial details. Selection criteria of the articles involved the
published reports of preceding 10 years (2012-2021) that exhibited relevancy with the topic

Conclusion:

Kefir grains having different origins provide a distinct array of antimicrobial
spectrums and are found to be effective against different pathogens. IBDs, diarrheal sicknesses,
and constipation can be alleviated by the consumption of this beverage. Moreover, the probioticantibiotic combination is also essential for the mitigation of several diseases. The synergistic
impact of several microbial strains is vital for the treatment of celiac disease. Lactose maldigestion can be relieved by the consumption of kefir having β-galactosidase enzyme activity.
Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) Prevalence Among Hypolipidemic Treatment-
naïve Patients with Hypertension
Authors: Filippatos Theodosios , Papadakis John , Ioannou Petros , Vrentzos George , Theodorakopoulou Vasiliki , Papanikolaou Konstantinos
Published: March 2022

Background:

Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) predisposes to the future development of
type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may also be associated with increased cardiovascular disease
(CVD) risk. Hypertension is an established CVD risk factor.

Objective:

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IFG and the associated anthropometric and
metabolic disturbances in patients with hypertension.

Method:

Consecutive hypertensive patients not on any hypolipidemic treatment and without a diagnosis
of T2DM were included. IFG was defined as serum glucose 100 mg/dl according to the
American Diabetes Association criteria.

Results:

The total sample consisted of 1381 participants; between them, 78 patients were diagnosed
to have T2DM and they were excluded from the analyses, leaving a final sample of 1303 hypertensive
patients [41.0% men; median age 58 (range: 15-90) years] not on any hypolipidemic treatment
and without a diagnosis of T2DM. IFG was identified in 469 patients (36%). IFG was more prevalent
in males than in females (42.4% vs. 31.8%, p<0.001). Patients with IFG had greater body mass
index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase,
gamma-glutamyl transferase, and uric acid serum levels compared with patients with
normal serum glucose levels.

Conclusion:

This study reveals that in a sample of patients with hypertension, one out of three has
IFG. This is more prevalent among men. IFG is associated with the presence of a more aggravated
anthropometric and biochemical profile, possibly associated with an increased CVD risk.

Authors: Alvandi Maryam , Shaghaghi Zahra , Polgardani Nasim Zarei , Abbasi Sahar , Albooyeh Hajar , Dastranj Leila , Farzipour Soghra
Published: March 2022

Background:

Radioresistance is found to be the main therapeutic restriction in colorectal radiation therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of Etodolac (ET) and ionizing radiation on human colorectal cancer cells.

Materials & Methods:

Pretreated HT-29 cells with ET were exposed to ionizing radiation. The radiosensitizing effect of ET was evaluated using MTT, flow cytometry, and clonogenic assay. The amount of nitrite oxide (NO) in irradiated cells was also measured with the Griess reagent.

Results:

The present study found that pretreatment of HT-29 cells with ET decreases their survival and colony formation. Higher concentrations of ET cause total apoptosis and an increase in NO levels in irradiated cells.

Conclusion:

Applying ET in a concentration-dependent manner had an incremental effect on the amount of apoptosis and cell death induced by radiation.

A Metaphor-Based Technical Framework for Musical Sonification in Movement Rehabilitation
Authors: Kantan Prithvi Ravi , Spaich Erika G. , Dahl Sofia
Published: March 2022

Interactive sonification has increasingly shown potential as a means of biofeedback to aid motor learning in movement rehabilitation. However, this application domain faces challenges related to the design of meaningful, task-relevant mappings as well as aesthetic qualities of the sonic feedback. A recent mapping design approach is that of using conceptual metaphors based on image schemata and embodied music cognition. In this work, we developed a framework to facilitate the design and real-time exploration of rehabilitation-tailored mappings rooted in a specific set of music-based conceptual metaphors. The outcome was a prototype system integrating wireless inertial measurement, flexible real-time mapping control and physical modelling-based musical sonification. We focus on the technical details of the system, and demonstrate mappings that we created through it for two exercises. These will be iteratively honed and evaluated in upcoming user-centered studies. We believe our framework can be a useful tool in musical sonification design for motor learning applications.
The Design of a Smart City Sonification System Using a Conceptual Blending and Musical Framework, Web Audio and Deep Learning Techniques
Authors: Roddy Stephen , Bridges Brian
Published: March 2022

This paper describes an auditory display system for smart city data for Dublin City, Ireland. It introduces and describes the different layers of the system and outlines how they operate individually and interact with one another. The system uses a deep learning model called a variational autoencoder to generate musical content to represent data points. Further data-to-sound mappings are introduced via parameter mapping sonification techniques during sound synthesis and post-processing. Conceptual blending and music theory provide frameworks, which govern the design of the system. The paper ends with a discussion of the design process that contextualizes the contribution, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the project, which spans data analytics, music composition and human-computer interaction.
A Systemic Perspective for Sonification Aesthetics
Authors: Seiça Mariana , Roque Licínio , Martins Pedro , Cardoso F. Amílcar
Published: March 2022

For more than twenty-five years, the sonification field has been attempting to establish itself as a primary body of knowledge communicating through sound. Despite multiple efforts to embrace the interdisciplinary nature of the field and the subjective nature of sound, we wonder: is the tendency for dealing with such challenges through an objective, functional communication, with a single interpretation criterion, limiting the epistemic boundaries of action? How can a subjectively perceived medium such as sound be embraced in all its aesthetic dimensions? We propose a conceptual transition through the reframing of a sonification as a living system for creating aesthetic experiences. This will be achieved by drawing notions from phenomenology, embodied perception, human-computer interaction and soundscape theory. A systemic sonification distinguishes itself as an ever-evolving system built on dynamic structures that actively responds to changes in its environment and interactions from surrounding beings. Driven by a series of emerging concepts of non-linearity, networks, nested systems and intertwined relationships, the system’s resilience and adaptability grows with each interaction, recentring the human protagonist as the weaver of his/her aesthetic experience through a self-transcendent process that expands the perception field.

Determining the Optimal Virtual Reality Exergame Approach for Balance Therapy in Persons With Neurological Disorders Using a Rasch Analysis: Longitudinal Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wiskerke Evelyne , Kool Jan , Hilfiker Roger , Sattelmayer Karl Martin , Verheyden Geert
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Virtual reality (VR) exergames have gained popularity in the rehabilitation of persons with neurological disorders as an add-on therapy to increase intensity of training. Intensity is strongly dependent on the motivation of the patient. Motivation can be increased by delivering variation within training and challenging exercises. However, patients are often underchallenged, as exergame difficulty often does not match the patient’s ability. A Rasch analysis can establish hierarchy of exergame items in order to assist the delivery of patient-centered therapy.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to apply the Rasch model to create a hierarchical order of existing VR balance exergames and to relate these exergames to the abilities of persons with neurological disorders, in order to deliver challenge and variation.

METHODS

A total of 30 persons with stroke and 51 persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) were included in the study. All participants performed a training program, lasting 3 weeks for persons with MS and 4 weeks for persons with stroke, in which they performed VR balance exergames with a movement recognition–based system (MindMotion GO; MindMaze SA). VR exercise scores, Berg Balance Scale scores, and clinical descriptive data were collected. Berg Balance Scale and device scores were analyzed with the Rasch model using a repeated-measures approach to examine whether the distribution of exercise scores fitted the Rasch model. Secondly, a person-item map was created to show the hierarchy of exercise difficulty and person ability.

RESULTS

Participants completed a selection of 56 balance exercises (ie, items), which consisted of a combination of various balance tasks and levels (ie, exercises). Using repeated measures, this resulted in a count of 785 observations. Analysis showed strong evidence for unidimensionality of the data. A total of 47 exercises (ie, items) had a sufficiently good fit to the Rasch model. Six items showed underfit, with outfit mean square values above 1.5. One item showed underfit but was kept in the analysis. Three items had negative point-biserial correlations. The final model consisted of 47 exercises, which were provided for persons with low to moderate balance ability.

CONCLUSIONS

The VR exercises sufficiently fitted the Rasch model and resulted in a hierarchical order of VR balance exercises for persons with stroke and MS with low to moderate balance ability. In combination with the Berg Balance Scale, the results can guide clinical decision-making in the selection of patient-focused VR balance exercises.

A stepped health services intervention to improve care for mental and neurological diseases (the NPPV program): protocol for a prospective cohort trial (Preprint)
Authors: Pollmanns Johannes , Großgarten Karlheinz , Wolff Julia Katharina , Nolting Hans-Dieter , Gerber Clarissa , Bergmann Frank , Nelles Gereon
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Mental and neurological disorders cause a large proportion of morbidity burden and require adequate health care structures. However, deficits in the German health care system like long waiting times for access to specialized care and a lack of coordination between health care providers lead to suboptimal quality of care and elevated health care costs.

OBJECTIVE

To overcome these deficits we implement and evaluate a unique stepped and coordinated model of care (the NPPV program) for patients with mental and neurological diseases.

METHODS

Patients included in the program receive an appropriate treatment according to medical needs in a multi-professional network of ambulatory health care providers. The therapy is coordinated by a managing physician and complemented by additional therapy modules, such as group therapy, Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a case management. Statutory health insurance (SHI) routine data and data from a longitudinal patient survey will be used to compare the program with regular care and evaluate SHI expenditures and patient related-outcomes. A health care provider survey will evaluate the quality of structure and processes and provider satisfaction. Finally, an analysis of ambulatory claims data and drug prescription data will be used to evaluate if health care providers follow a needs-led approach in therapy.

RESULTS

Patient enrollment of NPPV ended in September 2021. The results of this study are expected to be available in 2022 and will be disseminated through scientific publications, academic conferences and a publicly available report to the German Federal Joint Committee GBA.

CONCLUSIONS

The NPPV program is the first intervention to implement a stepped model of care for both mental and neurological diseases in Germany. The analysis of several data sources and a large sample size (more than 14,000 patients) enable a comprehensive evaluation of the NPPV program.

Multiple Objects, Serial Verbs and the Question of Argument-Sharing
Authors: Apuge Michael Etuge
Published: March 2022

This paper explores syntactic operations that obtain in multiple object and serial verb constructions in Akoose, a Bantu language spoken in Cameroon. Focus is placed on the structure and types of multi-verb constructions (MVCs), the structure of (MVCs), as well as multiple object constructions (MOCs). The paper also examines argument-sharing in both (MVCs) and (MOCs). The analysis is done following insights from Chomsky (1981, 1995; Miyagawa, 2010). While (MOCs) display predicates with two structural patterns, namely [VP, [NP IO [NP DO]]] and [VP, [NP DO [NP IO]]], serial verb constructions (SVCs) constitute a maximum of three different VP structures, namely a) [V1 [XP [V2]], b) [XP [V1 [V2]], and c) [V1[V2 [XP [V3]]]. It is found that notwithstanding the normal SVO word order in the language, complex serial verbs impose an S-V1-V2-(V3)-O word order, which further derives S-V1-V2-O-V3 and S-V1-O-V2-V3 surface variants. The analysis further reveals that irrespective of the complex nature of structures examined and the various transformational operations they undergo, there is no argument sharing in MOCs and SVCs in Akoose.

Traducción, mestizaje y transculturación en tres textos de José María Arguedas
Authors: Suárez Pomar Magdalena
Published: March 2022

El 25 de mayo de 1980, Ángel Rama anotó en su diario un párrafo dedicado al escritor peruano José María Arguedas. En él, a través de lo que parece ser una conversación consigo mismo, Rama meditaba sobre la vastedad de los ensayos que había escrito con motivo de la narrativa arguediana; además, manifestaba su deseo de publicarlos. En efecto, dos años después, esa página —fruto de la intimidad de su autor— sería un anticipo del libro que, finalmente, publicó en 1982 titulado Transculturación narrativa en América Latina. A partir de los conceptos de “transculturación” y de “mestizaje” que desarrolló Ángel Rama, pretendo analizar tres textos del autor peruano José María Arguedas: el discurso que dio cuando recibió el premio “Inca Garcilaso de la Vega” (1968), el “Ensayo sobre la capacidad de creación artística del pueblo indio y mestizo” (1938) y, por último, el prólogo a Dioses y hombres de Huarochirí (1966) En cada uno de ellos, Arguedas evidenció una consciencia de su labor como escritor-traductor.  De esta manera, reflexionaré cuáles son las relaciones de la traducción del quechua al castellano que llevó a cabo Arguedas y las definiciones que propuso Rama.
