We recently developed adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids to facilitate efficient and noninvasive gene transfer to the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a detailed protocol for generating and systemically delivering novel AAV variants was not previously available. In this protocol, we describe how to produce and intravenously administer AAVs to adult mice to specifically label and/or genetically manipulate cells in the nervous system and organs, including the heart. The procedure comprises three separate stages: AAV production, intravenous delivery, and evaluation of transgene expression. The protocol spans 8 d, excluding the time required to assess gene expression, and can be readily adopted by researchers with basic molecular biology, cell culture, and animal work experience. We provide guidelines for experimental design and choice of the capsid, cargo, and viral dose appropriate for the experimental aims. The procedures outlined here are adaptable to diverse biomedical applications, from anatomical and functional mapping to gene expression, silencing, and editing.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND "PREDICTED JUSTICE": FOREIGN EXPERIENCE
Authors: Biryukov P. N.
Published: November 2019

The paper deals with the problems of application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of justice. Present day environment facilitates the use of AI in law. Technology has entered the market. As a result, "predicted justice" has become possible. Once an overview of the possible future process is obtained, it is easier for the professional to complete the task-interpretation and final decision-making (negotiations, litigation). It will take a lot of work to bring AI up to this standard. Legal information should be structured to make it not only readable, but also effective for decision-making. "Predicted justice" can help both the parties to the case and the judges in structuring information, and students and teachers seeking relevant information. The development of information technology has led to increased opportunities for "predicted justice" programs. They take advantage of new digital tools. The focus is on two advantages of the programs: a) improving the quality of services provided; b) simultaneously monitoring the operational costs of the justice system. "Predicted justice" provides algorithms for analyzing a huge number of situations in a short time, allowing you to predict the outcome of a dispute or at least assess the chances of success. It helps: choose the right way of defense, the most suitable arguments, estimate the expected amount of compensation, etc. Thus, it is not about justice itself, but only about analytical tools that would make it possible to predict future decisions in disputes similar to those that have been analyzed.

Authors: Santivañez Huarcaya Juan Carlos , Cano Tocas Walter Erick , Ordoñez Ruiz Daniela , Bohórquez Araque Andrea del Pilar
Published: November 2019

El uso de almidones en la formulación de fluidos de perforación se viene dando desde 1930, principalmente como controladores de filtrado y extensores de viscosidad. Los almidones de maíz y de papa son los que más vienen usándose, sin embargo, se sigue en la búsqueda de aditivos naturales que puedan reemplazar a los comerciales. El almidón de papa es un polímero natural, cuya relación amilosa/amilopectina y el contenido de fósforo en forma de éster de fosfato, lo hace superior frente a productos como el maíz, la yuca y el plátano. La posibilidad del uso de almidón de papa, producido en Perú, como aditivo para lodos de perforación, se contempla debido a que el país es considerado uno de los 10 mayores productores de este tubérculo a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, hay una ausente industrialización del mismo lo que representa una oportunidad de desarrollo de la papa y el almidón de papa en el país.Este trabajo evaluó el efecto del almidón de papa y NaOH en el filtrado API de un fluido de perforación base agua con un diseño factorial mixto. De acuerdo a los resultados en esta investigación se encontró que el almidón de papa muestra mejor propiedad de control de filtrado puesto que con solo 0.5 lb/bbl se obtuvo una disminución de pérdida de filtrado respecto a un lodo Bentonitico base agua con PAC-L. Así mismo, se comprobó que se puede reemplazar el PAC L por almidón de papa para utilizarlo como controlador de filtrado en un lodo base agua, además de mejorar la viscosidad y las propiedades reológicas del lodo, contribuyendo así con la sostenibilidad del medio ambiente y generando un impacto positivo en la industria en la reducción de costos operacionales y oportunidad de desarrollo industrial de la papa y sus derivados en el Perú.
Choroba Alzheimera â historia niepowodzeń - krótka opinia na temat współczesnego stanu badań
Authors: Stępkowski Dariusz
Published: November 2019

Over 110 years have passed since first description of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite intensive research, AD remains incurable. The vast majority of clinical trials on new therapies aimed at suppressing undesirable aggregation of Î˛-amyloid have failed. This requires rethinking of the strategy to fight AD. A lot of evidence supports the maintenance of Î˛-amyloid as the central object of AD pathology, however, its aggregation into larger supramolecular structures is probably an intermediate stage and not the cause of the disease. In the early stages of life, cellular stresses lead to epigenetic changes resulting in later amyloidogenesis and subsequent neurodegeneration. This process takes decades of life trajectory. Therefore, possible therapies should take into account this fact and be applied early in the life and prolonged later. Diagnosis of epigenetic changes leading to AD should be a research priority. If this concept is true, it may give hope to reverse these changes.

Authors: Ojamaa Maarja , Milyakina Alexandra
Published: November 2019

This case study presents the Estonian open access online platform Education on Screen. So far, the platform features two educational projects: Literature on Screen and History on Screen. Both projects are aimed at secondary school students and are balanced between a thorough treatment
of a single film and a universal framework for discussing the topics of film adaptation of literary texts and the mediated construction of historical memory. The focus is thus both on film literacy and on film as a means for developing cultural literacies. The projects combine accessibly written
theoretical discussions from the perspective of cultural semiotics, excerpts from films, materials relating to their production and reception, analytical tasks, and assignments for implementing individual creativity in multimodal forms. Finally, this paper includes some conclusions drawn from
testing the platform with 230 students during 2017/18.

Authors: Klebanov J.M. , Petrov V.R. , Adeyanov I.E.
Published: November 2019

Occurring during operation inhomogeneity of the contact pressure distribution between the rollers and the bearing rings due to skew affects the durability and dynamics of the bearing parts. The article describes a modified method of normal contact pressure determination according to the theory, based on the Bousinessque equation. The efficiency of the method is estimated and results of numerical simulation of normal contact pressure distribution in the contact of the roller with the raceway of the inner ring of the cylindrical roller bearing for different roller profiles, loads, and skew angles are presented. It is shown that the logarithmic profile creates the lowest pressure concentration at the ends of the roller.

Authors: Kampliw S. , Monthatong M.
Published: November 2019

In present study, Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay was conducted for diagnosis Nosema bombycis, the pebrine disease pathogen in domestic silkworm, Bombyx mori. Nine isolates of N. bombycis were collected from infected silkworms in rearing areas in Khon Kaen province, Thailand. N. bombycis genomic DNAs were extracted by boiling method and used as templates in LAMP and PCR reactions. A LAMP primer set was designed specific to N. bombycis small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene. The results revealed that the optimal condition was constantly performed at 63oC for 1 hour. The product was directly visualized by naked eye and confirmed with agarose gel eletrophoresis. LAMP assay is more sensitive than traditional PCR, since LAMP was able to detect the least 10 spores/ml while PCR needs 100 spores/ml. In addition, the present novel LAMP primer set was specific only to N. bombycis proven by the negative results when other B. mori pathogen DNAs were tested. In conclusion, the LAMP assay demonstrated a great potential alternative method in diagnosis N. bombycis with high sensitivity, rapidity and accuracy which can apply for pebrine disease surveillance.

Authors: Vaghasia P M , Dobariya K L
Published: November 2019

A field experiment was carried out during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2012, 2013 and 2014 at the Main Oilseeds Research Satiation, Junagadh Agriculture University, Junagadh to ascertain the optimum nutrient requirement for groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) - Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) intercropping system to obtain higher productivity and profitability per unit area per unit time by efficient utilization of natural resources on medium clay soil under irrigated conditions. Groundnut was raised as main crop and Bt cotton was planted as intercrop with 3:1 ratio. The experiment was conducted with fourteen treatments involving sole groundnut and sole cotton with different combinations of fertilizer doses and were tested in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. All the above fertilizer treatments were imposed based on the area. The results revealed that 100% RDF to groundnut (main crop) + 150% RDF to cotton (intercrop) in 3:1 row ratio proportion increased growth, yield attributes and yields of groundnut and Bt cotton as well groundnut equivalent yield. So, 100% recommended dose of NP fertilizer (12.5:25.0 kg NP/ha) to groundnut + 150% recommended dose of N fertilizer(240 kgN/ha) to Bt cotton with 3:1 row ratio proportion was optimum to realize maximum yield under groundnut- Bt cotton intercropping system in irrigated conditions.

Published: November 2019

The demand for resistance cowpea to rust infection has currently increased due to considerable yield losses caused by the fungal pathogen. The study assessed available cowpea genotypes for rust resistance using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Out of 100 cowpea genotypes screened, 97% showed presence of the markers whilst 3% showed absence of the markers. Among the cowpea were 72% resistance, 16% moderate resistance and 9% low resistance to rust. The markers revealed mean high allele frequency (0.86) and low gene diversity (0.24) and polymorphism information content (0.21) among the cowpea genotypes. The markers co-inherited with mean regression value greater than 0.1. There was no clear pattern of clustering among the cowpea genotypes. The cowpea genotypes with rust resistance traits could serve as good sources of germplasm for cultivation or resilient genes with rust target in breeding programmes to improve the crop.

Published: November 2019

The StP5CS (GenBank accession number: JN606861) T6 homozygous transgenic lines (HTLs) of vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] were grown using vermiculite pot culture to determine whether StP5CS overexpression would enhance nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in two T6 HTLs (17W-1, 17W-2) under drought conditions. The growth performance, nodule development and seed weight of T6 HTLs were significantly better than those of wild type (WT) plants. The proline levels in various tissues of T6 HTLs were higher than WT plants. The concentrations of total ureide, total N, leghemoglobin (Lb) and the activity of glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) in the T6 HTLs were significantly increased. Moreover, the relative expression levels of five key nodulation- and SNF-associated genes (i.e., GmENOD40-1, GmENOD40-2, GmLba, GmGS1â1 and GmGS1â2) were significantly higher in T6 HTLs. In conclusion, overexpression of StP5CS enhances nodulation and SNF in transgenic vegetable soybean under drought stress conditions

Introduction. As household insecticidal agents for mosquito control, electric fumigators are used complete with plates and/or liquid, which can pose an inhalation hazard during work. Material and methods. The toxicity and danger of five samples of electrofumigators on the basis of transfluthrin and prallethrin in the form of liquid and plates were studied. Two modes of application of electric fumigators have been tested: with 30-minutes airing after an hour-long treatment and further stay in the room of people and with the continuous operation of the electric fumigator in a ventilated room in the presence of people. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the active substances in the air; the sensitivity of the method was 0.001 mg / m3. The assessment of the acute inhalation hazard of volatile components released during the operation of the electric fumigator was carried out on white outbred rats. Results. The obtained data showed that when using electric fumigators on transfluthrin and prallethrin, they are observed to increase in the air as compared with the hygienic standards established for them for the atmospheric air of populated areas. The research results depended on the form of the product and the chosen mode of application. Thus, assessing the first mode of application of the plates on transfluthrin, it was revealed that 30 minutes of airing the room is not enough, the excess of environmental tentative safe exposure levels was recorded. The study of the second mode of application of fluid and plates on transfluthrin revealed a tendency to increase its content in the air of the treated room when using both forms. When using the second mode of application of the liquid and the plates on prallethrin, it that after 1 h of operation of the electrofumigator with liquid, the concentration of prallethrin significantly was revealed to exceed the hygienic standard. Conclusion. The use of electrofumigators working for 8 hours in the presence of people is not recommended for use, it is necessary to ventilate the room when the fumigator is in operation for more than 1 hour.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. Rational nutrition is one of the most important factors of a healthy lifestyle, ensuring the preservation and strengthening of the health of the population. However, in the government document “Fundamentals of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of healthy nutrition of the population for the period until 2020” it is noted that despite positive trends in nutrition of the population, the mortality from chronic diseases, the development of which is largely related to the alimentary factor, remains much higher than in most European countries. It is especially important to ensure the rational nutrition of young people, which determines the future development of Russian society. Given the urgency of the problem, we carried out a comprehensive hygienic study aimed at studying the nutrition of students in higher education. Materials and methods. 1820 students from 4 Universities of Ufa of the Republic of Bashkortostan took part in the experiment. The study of the daily diet of students was conducted using the method of 24-hour reproduction. Two computer programs aimed at monitoring of the daily diet of students have been developed, tested and registered. The chemical composition and caloric content of the consumed products was estimated. Results. As a result of the study, the amount of protein in the daily rations of students was found out to increase (for girls - by 8.2%, for boys - by 23.5%). Above the norm, there is also the fat content in food products of young men (by 10.2%). The students of both genders have been diagnosed with carbohydrate deficiency (8.5% below the norm for girls, 10.4% for boys). The daily calorific value of the students was normal. Evaluation of the content of macronutrients in the diet of students revealed excessive intake of sodium (32.7% above the norm for girls and 90.9% for boys), phosphorus (25.1% higher for girls and 65.0 % - for boys). Both girls and boys have a significant calcium deficit: 44.5% and 41.1% lower than the normative indices, respectively. When studying the content of microelements in diets, the girls showed a significant iron deficiency (21.7% below the norm). Deficiency of vitamin C (for girls below the norm by 23.2%, in boys - by 15.2%) was identified. The intake of vitamin B2 is somewhat reduced for female students (by 11.2%). Conclusion. The analysis of the students’ diet revealed a discrepancy with the norms of physiological needs for a number of nutrients. A conceptual medical-pedagogical model aimed at the formation of value orientations towards the healthy lifestyle of students (oriented, among other things, improve the quality of nutrition) has been developed and tested. The analysis of the effectiveness of the medical-pedagogical model is carried out using neural network information technologies that assess the impact of the regime and quality of nutrition on students’ health status.
Endülüs Emevî Devleti'nde Şehir İdaresi: İşbîliye (Sevilla) Örneği
Authors: ADIGÜZEL Cumhur Ersin
Published: November 2019

Emevî idaresine muhalif olarak ortaya çıkan Abbâsî hareketinin başarıya
ulaştığı II/VIII. yüzyıl ortalarında Emevî hanedanına mensup çok sayıda kişi
Abbâsîlerce takip edilip ortadan kaldırılmıştır. Bu takibattan kurtulmayı
başaran Abdurrahman b. Muaviye’nin İber Yarımadasına geçip burada kendi
hâkimiyetini tesis edişiyle birlikte Doğu’da ortadan kalkan Emevî idaresi
Endülüs’te ihyâ edilmiştir. Bu hadise siyasî açıdan Endülüs için yeni bir
dönemin başlangıcı olsa da, devlet ve şehir idaresiyle ilgili İslam dünyasının
yerleşik müesseselerinin hemen hemen bir değişiklik olmaksızın Endülüs’te
tatbikine devam edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Endülüs’te şehir idaresinin ne şekilde
yürütüldüğü meselesi İşbîliye örneğinde ve Endülüs Emevî Devleti’nin siyasî
tarihiyle ilişkisi bağlamında ele alınacaktır.
Do palco ao disco: música caipira e construção de identidades na cidade de São Paulo
Authors: Bessa Virgínia De Almeida
Published: November 2019

O artigo tem por objeto o gênero fonográfico conhecido como “música caipira”, surgido em 1929 com as primeiras gravações da Turma Caipira Cornélio Pires, realizadas pela Columbia. Longe de ser produto exclusivo da indústria do disco, cujo mercado se expandia graças a avanços técnicos introduzidos pela gravação elétrica, o gênero resultava também de intensas disputas identitárias que vinham sendo travadas em São Paulo, tendo como palco principal o teatro musicado. Para sustentar essa ideia, serão analisados excertos de textos teatrais, partituras e fonogramas das décadas de 1910 a 1930, num entrecruzamento entre a História Social, a Musicologia e os Estudos do Teatro.
Efectos de la Paradoja de Simpson en la adopción de buenas prácticas agrarias
Authors: Franco Martínez J. Agustín
Published: November 2019

Este trabajo analiza los problemas de medición relativos al perfil sociológico de los agricultores según su conducta agroambiental, en particular respecto a la adopción de Buenas Prácticas Agrarias (BPA) atendiendo a si existe o no correlación entre tal decisión agroecológica y los factores endógenos de la adopción, prestando especial atención a uno de los fenómenos estadísticos más problemáticos y desapercibidos en la agregación de variables, la paradoja de Simpson, enmascarada bajo una supuesta conducta Homer Simpson o ‘poco inteligente’, ecológicamente hablando. Para ello se utiliza una muestra de agricultores en cuyas fincas adoptan principalmente buenas prácticas de conservación del suelo. Los resultados muestran la interpretación errónea de los resultados de correlación en la adopción de buenas prácticas si no se tienen en cuenta debidamente las implicaciones de tal paradoja.
provisión de servicios públicos municipales: ¿un movimiento pendular?
Authors: Wollmann Hellmut
Published: November 2019

El artículo está dirigido a discutir la institucionalización de la prestación de servicios públicos (tales como agua, residuos, etc.) y servicios sociales personales (tales como el cuidado de ancianos) en países europeos (Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania y Suecia). Desde una perspectiva histórica, el artículo analiza la evolución institucional por fases desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, pasando por el avanzado Estado del Bienestar de la postguerra, hasta la reciente fase de comercialización (marketization) y modernización neo-liberal y cuyas consecuencias son tenidas en consideración. El análisis se basa en dos cuestiones clave: primero, si y por qué la institucionalización de la prestación de servicios ha mostrado convergencia o divergencia entre los países citados en estas distintas fases y, segundo, si el desarrollo institucional ha sido, en su transcurso, “lineal” o, en la imagen de Polanyi, “pendular”.

Published: November 2019

This study aims to determine the effect of the integrated assessment for Learning (AfL) which is assisted by the Tryout application in scientific approach on students' conceptual understanding. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. This research was conducted at a high school in Malang with a sample of two classes by a random cluster sampling technique. There were two classes involved, namely one as an experimental class (using an integrated AfL assisted with a tryout application in scientific approach) and one as a control class (using a scientific approach through assignment instructions). Thirthy four  students in each class were tough the work and energy topic. The test instrument used was 20 reasoned multiple-choice questions with a reliability of 0.62. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the posttest mean scores of the experimental class students and the control class students (p = 0.017). Descriptive analysis showed that the mean scores of posttest students for the experiment and control class were 61.76 and 54.26, respectively. That means that the conceptual understanding of students who learn with integrated AfL that assisted by tryout application in scientific approach was higher than students who learn with the scientific approach through assignments.

Introduction Cloud storage facilities (CSF) has become popular among the internet users. There is limited data on CSF usage among university students in low middle-income countries including Sri Lanka. In this study we present the CSF usage among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya. Methods We undertook a cross sectional study at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. Stratified random sampling was used to recruit students representing all the batches. A self-administrated questionnaire was given. Results Of 261 (90.9%) respondents, 181 (69.3%) were females. CSF awareness was 56.5% (95%CI: 50.3% - 62.6%) and CSF usage was 50.8% (95%CI: 44.4 - 57.2%). Awareness was higher in males (P=0.003) and was low in senior students. Google Drive was the commonest CSF followed by Dropbox and OneDrive. There was no association between CSF awareness and pre-university entrance or undergraduate examination performance. Inadequate knowledge, time, accessibility, security and privacy concerns limited CSF usage. 69.8% indicated that they would like to undergo training on CSF as an effective tool for education. Conclusion CSF awareness and usage was nearly 50% among the students and Google drive is the most popular CSF. Lack of knowledge, accessibility, concerns on security and privacy limited CSF usage among students. Majority were interested to undergo training on CSF and undergraduate ICT curricula should introduce CSF as effective educational tools.
