Coronavirus or well known as COVID 19 emerged in Wuhan (China) in the end of 2019. WHO’s situation report on January 30th 2020 reported 7818 total confirmed cases worldwide, with the majority occurred in China and 82 cases reported in 18 countries outside China. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Covid-19 outbreak a global pandemic as the novel coronavirus continues to rapidly spread worldwide. The rapid increase of COVID-19 new cases makes everyone feel anxious. Anxiety causes a person to respond negatively, therefore people cannot perform good self-management. This study aimed to describe anxiety among people during COVID 19 outbreak in Indonesia. A descriptive study was used to meet the aim of this study. 93 adults and teenagers were recruited and asked to complete a google form questionnaire by self-administrated method. HARS questionnaire was applied as an instrument to measure anxiety. An accidental sampling method was conducted to collect the sample. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistic to examine age, living status, educational level, working type, and anxiety level. This study showed that 91.4% respondents were in adult age, 94.6 were living with family member, 66.7% were bachelor and higher, and 36.3% were working as government employees. Anxiety level in this study was divided into three categories. Majority of respondent were having low level of anxiety (88%), 10% were moderate, and the rest (2%) were high anxiety. Highly number of low categories in COVID-19 anxiety means a lot of possibilities. People have an adaptation ability to face every situation in their life. Moreover, this bad situation affect to whole life aspects. Healthcare provider should be prepared as the database of anxiety categories was in low level. Further research should aware wheter this low categories means good or bad for society.

Modelling and simulation of detailed vehicle dynamics for development of innovative powertrains
Authors: PARDHI Shantanu , DESHMUKH Ajinkya , AJROUCHE Hugo
Published: September 2021

Simulation with a basic representation of longitudinal vehicle dynamics is known to be sufficient for initial powertrain development activities related to efficiency and emissions such as concept application, optimal sizing, analysing the effects of physical and functional changes and also for defining basic control laws. However, when it comes to comprehensive analysis for efficiency improvement, minimizing instantaneous emission peaks or studying the impact of the new concepts on road safety, drivability and performance, the significance of detailed vehicle dynamics cannot be ignored. The work presented in this article defines a longitudinal vehicle dynamic modelling approach considering important characteristics such as the influence of normal load transfer on the varying grip of the front and rear wheels, the effect of wheel slip, and a complete representation of resistances encountered against vehicle motion with the objective of taking the analysis even closer to the actual driving conditions. The behaviour of this combined simulation platform under normal and extreme driving conditions seems to precisely follow the real scenario. This approach is a first step towards future analysis, optimization and controls development for improving transient powertrain aspects such as maximizing regenerative braking under heavy deceleration or optimizing road charging in P4 parallel hybrid architecture by managing wheel slip losses.
Utilization of Intravenous (IV) Curcumin, Genistein, and Trastuzumab to Reduce HER2 receptors in Breast Cancer Patients
Authors: Bhandari Shreya , Kamineni Hasmitha
Published: September 2021

In recent decades, due to the increased growth, spread, and onset of cancer, interest has arisen in studying the methods that could be used to combat it. Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in the world. Due to the growing pervasiveness of this issue, a larger body of research is forming in the area of breast cancer with the intent to contain the spread of the potentially ravaging disease or diagnose it earlier. This research is intended to propose an alternative, possibly more efficient method to inhibit the chances of metastasis and continued prevalence of breast cancer in a patient. The related work discusses similar research being done and builds on it to incorporate the novel method being proposed while explaining the components of the proposed treatment in question. The proposed method aims to deplete HER2 protein receptors in breast cancer patients through the intravenous (IV) administration of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) curcumin and genistein, as well as trastuzumab, which is more commonly known under the brand name Herceptin. Depleting HER2 protein receptors can potentially cause the severity of HER2-positive breast cancer to decrease substantially, as well as reduce the probability of metastasis and recurrence, the rate of which is considerably higher in HER2-positive cases when compared to that of HER2-negative cases. The future work deals with alternate methods that could be explored with a similar intent as this research study and describes the potential implications of the study.
Human Adenovirus Serotypes Efficiently Transducing HEK293 Cells: An In Vitro Propagation of HAdv
Authors: Samantaray Mr. Utkalendu Suvendusekhar , Santra Ms. Piyanki
Published: September 2021

Generally, a gene which is inserted directly into a cell does not operate independently. Instead, the transmission of the gene is genetically modified by a biological messenger called a vector, consists of a transgene and a large DNA sequence as a backbone. Since they can deliver the new gene by infecting the cell, such viruses are also used as vectors. The adenovirus is a non-enveloped virus that can be tailored to transfer DNA to target cells, and it has sparked a lot of interest in the field, particularly in clinical trial therapy techniques. For the new age production of COVID-19 vaccine, development of different mammalian cell lines like HEK293 (most reliable growth and prosperity for transfection) and recombinant adenoviral vectors have become the first priority for biopharmaceutical giants and globally approved vaccine manufacturers to scale up their vaccine production. Adenoviruses have an icosahedral shape, with a protein coat encasing the viral double-stranded DNA genome. Because the adenovirus genome is relatively small, it's a good candidate for insertion of foreign DNA. The adenovirus E1A gene is deleted, and the virus loses its capacity to replicate. This ability can be restored during cell culture propagation by employing cells that produce the E1A protein, for example. Hence, in this mini research, I have shared an overview of the propagation of adenoviral vectors, i.e. recombinant adenovirus SARS CoV-2 vector in HEK-293 cell suspension culture.

Resistant strains of K. pneumoniae and C. freundii due to under use and over use of antibiotics and biocides has contributed to economic burden due to nosocomial infections. This study focuses on screening hospital wastes for antibacterial and biocide resistant K. pneumoniae and C. freundii in Adamawa state specialist hospital, Yola. One hundred and twenty (120) hospital wastes samples were analysed. Samples were cultured on appropriate media and incubated at 37 oC for 24h. Biochemically identified isolates were molecularly confirmed and sequenced. K. pneumoniae being 93% identical to strain KPNIH48 and C. freundii being 99% identical to complex sp CFNH4 were confirmed. Resistant K. pneumonia and C. freundii were subjected to phenotypic ESBLs test, then DDS test was carried out to confirm ESBLs production. Phenotypically ESBLs positive K. pneumoniae were positive for DDST but negative for C. freundii. The DDST positive isolates were then screened for bla-TEM-68 gene. All the DDST positive K. pneumoniae harboured the bla-TEM-68 gene but none in C. freundii. The isolates carrying bla-TEM-68 gene were cured using 10 % SDS and the results showed that the ESBLs genes were plasmid and/or chromosomally encoded. The presence of K. pneumoniae carrying bla-TEM-68 gene indicates a possibility for increased nosocomial infections in Adamawa state and Nigeria at large and so relevant preventive recommendations were made.

Fractures of the lower limb not only lead to temporary disability, they can also be the cause of a patient's permanent disability. Despite numerous treatment methods, there is currently no precise definite technique. The requirement for all fracture treatment methods is minimally invasive and minimal complications. One of such methods for treatment shin bone fractures is extrafocal uniplanar osteosynthesis. Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment of extrafocal uniplanar transosseous osteosynthesis in case of fractures of the shin bones. Material and methods. The results of the treatment of 98 patients with a shin bone fracture treated with the new technique, developed and tested by uniplanar transosseous osteosynthesis in the Emergency Hospital, Department of Polytrauma and Orthosurgery, are shown for the first time. Patients were divided into two groups, in the 1st group of the research (GR) we used the proposed technique, in the 2nd group of the comparison (GC) was used the G.A. Ilizarov method. Results and discussion. In group patients with GR, the duration of inpatient treatment was halved, the positive results of treatment increased by 1.4 times, and the terms of outpatient treatment were also significantly reduced. Negative treatment results were reduced by 2.6 times, peri-spoke inflammatory processes were reduced by 4.2%. Conclusion. The recommended treatment method, in contrast to the traditional one, showed the most positive result. Due to the simplified version of the apparatus and a small number of components, it is less traumatic thereby reducing the number of complications.

Mimarlık, toplumların yaşam biçimi ve kültürleri arasındaki iletişimi sağlayan bir dil olarak kabul edilmektedir. Özellikle sahip oldukları geleneksel mimari yapılarının geleceğe taşınması konusunda hassas olunması gereken yerleşim yerleri olan tarihi kentlerde, biçimsel ve anlamsal birlikteliği yansıtan tasarım dilinin çözümlenebilmesi ve bu sayede ortaya çıkan biçimsel kodların analiz edilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu kentlerde, yeni tasarımların/var olan yapıların tarihi referanslardan ve kodlardan yararlanılarak yani geleneksel olana öykünülerek inşa edilmesi/yenilenmesi, geleneksel konut mimarisine ait özelliklerin çağdaş dönemdeki yansımalarını göstermesi, kentin mimari üslubunun ve geleneksel kimliğinin sürdürülebilmesi bakımından önem taşımaktadır. Geleneksel mimarideki anlayışın birebir aynısının yapılması, “geleneksele öykünme” olmayacak ve anlam çelişkisine yol açacaktır. Bu nedenle “geleneksele öykünme” sınırının korunması, konutun bağlamla kurduğu aidiyet ilişkisini güçlendirecektir. Çalışmanın amacı, tarihi bir çevrenin biçimsel kurgusunu tanımlayan tasarım dilindeki değişimin, göstergeler üzerinden çözümlenmesidir. Bu amaçla, Konya ili Sille ilçesinde yerleşim diline ait göstergelerin, bir yapı özelinde değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, yapılan analizler doğrultusunda, Sille yerleşimine eklemlenen bu yapının, cephe bileşenleri bakımından bir Sille evi gibi davrandığı yani “geleneksele öykündüğü”; ancak kültürel ve yerel özelliğin sürdürülmesine katkı sağlayamadığı, hatta yaşam şartının, Sille’nin gündelik yaşam pratiklerinden çok daha farklı olduğu, iç mekan kurgusu bakımından “geleneksele öykünemediği” görülmüştür.
Kentsel Sürdürülebilirlik ve Dayanıklılık Açısından Kentsel Dönüşüm Uygulamalarında Rant ve Özel Mülkiyete Bir Bakış

Published: September 2021

Sanayileşme, nüfus artışı, kaynakların hızlı tüketimi ve iklim krizi gibi sorunların ortaya çıkışı ile birlikte son yıllarda “sürdürülebilirlik” ve “dayanıklılık” kavramları gündeme gelmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, tüm dünyada yaşanan COVID-19 salgını da yine insanların yoğun şekilde bir arada yaşadığı kentsel alanların sürdürülebilir, her türlü afet ve kriz karşısında dayanıklı şekilde planlanması ve dönüştürülmesi gerektiğini gözler önüne sermiştir. Kentsel alanların yeniden düzenlenmesinde ve eskiyen kentsel dokunun yenilenmesinde sıklıkla kullanılan araçların başında gelen kentsel dönüşüm uygulamalarının, daha sürdürülebilir ve dayanıklı kentsel alanlar oluşturulmasına önemli katkılar sunması beklenmektedir. Ancak Türkiye’deki kentsel dönüşüm uygulamalarında, özel mülkiyet ve kentsel rantın, hem kamusal hem de kamusal olmayan alanların yeniden planlanmasının önünde baskı unsuru olabildiği görülmektedir. Bu nedenle yapılacak kentsel dönüşüm uygulamalarında ve yeni kentleşme modellerinde, özel mülkiyet haklarının ve sınırlamalarının doğru bir şekilde belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu makalede, özel mülkiyetin ve kentsel rantın, özellikle konut ve nüfus yoğunluğu açısından kentsel dönüşümde nasıl ele alınabileceği, kısıtlarının neler olabileceği ve yasal mevzuatlarda nasıl yer alması gerektiği tartışılmıştır.
It’s Contagious! The Effects of Gamifying Refutation Texts on Emotions and Learning
Authors: Trevors Greg
Published: September 2021

The current study investigated the effects of gamifying refutations on emotions and learning. Refutations have a substantial body of evidence supporting their use to correct misconceptions, yet reduced efficacy has been observed for some topics that induce negative emotional reactions. We tested whether gamification could mitigate these limits given that it capitalizes on positive affective engagement. From May to December 2020, approximately 200,000 individuals were recruited from social media in Canada to engage with a non-game interactive survey as a control or a fully gamified platform focused on correcting COVID-19 misconceptions. Gamification resulted in higher levels of happiness and anxiety and lower levels of anger and skepticism in response to having misconceptions corrected by refutations. Further, participants who engaged with gamified refutations retained correct information after a brief period. Finally, positive emotions and anxiety positively predicted and negative emotions largely negatively predicted retention and support for related public health policies. Implications for scaling up and reinforcing the benefits of refutations for public engagement with science are discussed.
A radically simple way to monitor life expectancy

NOTE: this is an early registration of the research idea and findings in form of slides for a talk presented at EAPS Mort workshop on 2021-09-22 (video: https://youtu.be/rOndHnuajH4?t=2370)Period Life Expectancy is the key summary measure of current mortality. Elimination of the direct influence of population age structure allows to meaningfully compare mortality levels and changes across the populations and over time. Calculation of life expectancy demands high quality detailed data on death and population counts disaggregated by sex and age. Such data is only available for the more developed countries. Moreover, even in the most developed countries, it becomes available with a considerable time lag. And for the majority of countries across the world timely and high quality deaths statistics is not available. In situations of mortality shocks such as the COVID–19 pandemic near real time mortality level comparisons are crucial.Building on the studied regularities of human mortality, we offer a method of reliable life expectancy short-casting based only on the time series of its previous values and the time series of total deaths counts observed in the population, not disaggregated by sex and age. The radical simplicity of the method allows to monitor changes in life expectancy in near real time, if time disaggregated (daily, weekly, or monthly) total death counts are available.

Published: September 2021

Hurricanes are known to play a critical role in reshaping coastlines, particularly on the open ocean coast in cases of overwash, but storm induced seaward-directed flow and responses are often ignored or un-documented. Subaerial evidence for seaward sediment transport (outwash, return-flow) increases our understanding of the impact hurricanes have on coastal and barrier island evolution. Towards this goal we catalog all available National Geodetic Survey Emergency Response Imagery (ERI), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) collection of post-hurricane aerial imagery on the U.S East Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts, for visible washout and return flow features. The most recent examples are from the North Core Banks, North Carolina, after Hurricane Dorian (2019), the Carolina coasts after Hurricane Isaias (2020), the Isles Dernieres, Louisiana, after Hurricane Zeta (2020), and the southwest coast of Louisiana, after Hurricanes Laura and Delta (2020); these include erosive scours and channels but also depositional deltas and fans on the shoreface and nearshore. Over the nearly 200 km of coastline analyzed, hundreds of seaward-flow features were identified; the density exceeds 20 per km in some areas. Individual features measure between 5 m and 500 m in both the along- and cross-shore dimensions. The extensive occurrence of these storm-induced return-flow and outwash morphologic features demonstrates that their sediment transport role may be more influential than previously thought. Based on these observations, we advocate for their inclusion in coastal change hazards classification schemes and coastal evolution morphodynamic models and propose an adoption of direction-explicit terms to use when describing return- and seaward-flow features to reduce redundant jargon and distinguish them from more frequently documented landward-flow features.
Negative Emodiversity is Associated with Emotional Eating in Adolescents: An Examination of Emotion Dynamics in Daily Life
Authors: Heshmati Saeideh , DavyRomano Evie , Chow Christopher , Doan Stacey N. , Reynolds Kim D.
Published: September 2021

IntroductionEmotional eating is a mental health concern, common in adolescents, that develops as a result of their tendency to use high-energy food to regulate their fluctuating emotions. Due to their highly fluctuating emotional life, adolescents tend to have unique within-person profiles of emotional experiences that change across moments and days, often lost in global assessments of emotions. Hence, it is imperative to examine individual differences in dynamics of emotions, as experienced in daily life, in relation to emotional eating in adolescents.MethodsIn an Ecological Momentary Assessment study, we examined individual differences in three within-person dynamic characteristics (baseline levels, intra-individual variability, and emodiversity) of emotions in 158 dominantly Hispanic adolescents in the United States, aged 14-17 years old, predicting trait-level emotional eating.ResultsResults indicated that higher negative emodiversity, baselines, and variability in stress were predictive of emotional eating in adolescents. When all considered together, negative emodiversity (i.e., variety of the types of negative emotions experienced in one’s daily life) remained the only significant predictor of emotional eating.ConclusionsThis study affirms the importance of diversity in emotional experiences in relation to emotional eating, particularly in daily contexts of adolescents’ lives. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between diversity (i.e., variety in types) in positive versus negative emotional experiences with regard to emotional eating. By taking into account the ecological validity of adolescents’ daily lives and individual differences in dynamical changes in emotions, we are taking a step forward by shedding light on how the dynamics of negative emotions—in terms of within-person baselines, variability, and diversity— might be related to general levels of emotional eating in adolescents.

Published: September 2021

Many people practiced COVID-19-related safety measures in the first year of the pandemic, but Republicans were less likely to engage in behaviors such as wearing masks or face coverings than Democrats, suggesting radical disparities in health practices split along political fault lines. We developed an “intervention tournament” which aimed to identify the framings that would promote mask wearing among a representative sample of Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. (N = 4,931). Seven different conditions reflecting different moral values and factors specific to COVID-19—including protection from harm (self), protection from harm (community), patriotic duty, purity, reviving the economy, threat, and scientific evidence—were implemented to identify which framings would “win” in terms of promoting mask wearing compared to a baseline condition. We found that Republicans had significantly more negative attitudes toward masks, lower intentions to wear them, and were less likely to sign or share pledges on social media than Democrats, which was partially mediated by Republicans, compared to Democrats, perceiving that the threat of COVID-19 was lower. None of our framing conditions significantly affected Republicans’ or Democrats’ attitudes, intentions, or behaviors compared to the baseline condition, illustrating the difficulty in overcoming the strength of political polarization during COVID-19.

(Indian Madder) on Normal Intestinal Cell Line (IEC-6) by MTT assay to test their feasibility for natural edible dye extraction. The experimental material, comprised of inflorescence of Celosia argentia L. var plumose, petals of the two varieties of Calendula officinalis L., leaves of Indigofera heterantha Wall. and leaves and roots of the Rubia cordifolia L. Cell line was exposed to 1, 4, 16, 64 and 256µg/ml concentrations of plant extracts for 24, 48, and 72hr at 37oC. Results revealed that both the varieties of Calendula officinalis L. var. Gitana Orange and Gitana Yellow did not show any cytotoxic effect on IEC-6 cell line while as Celosia argentia L. var plumose, Indigofera heterantha Wall. and Rubia cordifolia L. showed cytotoxicity. From the present study it was concluded that the extracts of the both varieties of Calendula officinalis L. var. Gitana Orange and Gitana Yellow extracts are non-toxic in nature, thus can be utilized for the extraction of natural edible dye while as the extracts of Celosia argentia L. var plumose, Indigofera heterantha Wall. and Rubia cordifolia L. had potent in vitro cytotoxic activity thus they cannot be used for extraction of natural edible food colour. However, to better evaluate the cytotoxic effect of these plant extracts, in vivo experiments on laboratory animal followed by histological analysis should be done.

Authors: Bora Kundan Singh , Pant Ankita
Published: September 2021

Wedelia chinensis (family: Asteraceae), commonly known as Pilabhangra has been traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments like jaundice, diarrhoea, cephalahagia, respiratory disorders and to induce sleep, reduce the mental tension and in anxiety. Despite a long history of uses, no scientific pharmacological evaluation has ever been carried out on this plant. Thus, the present study was designed to evaluate anxiolytic activity of W. chinensis using different models of anxiety. Hydro-alcohol extract of W. chinensis leaves was prepared and subjected to bioactivity guided fractionation. Antioxidant activity was determined by spectrophotometric method. Total phenolic and flavonoid content were also estimated. Amongst the various fractions/extract of W. chinensis tested, only hydro-alcoholic extract, and its ethyl acetate fraction exhibited significant (P<0.05) anxiolytic activity in mice using elevated plus maze and light-dark box model of anxiety at a dose of 200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg respectively. Among the various fractions tested, maximum anxiolytic activity was observed only in ethyl acetate fraction which was at par with that of diazepam. The results of present investigation provide evidence that ethyl acetate fraction of hydro-alcoholic extract of W. chinensis has potent anxiolytic activity supporting the traditional claim of W. chinensis in the treatment of anxiety.

Authors: Беренбейн Інеса
Published: September 2021

Розглянуто інтерпретаційний аспект опери «Євгеній Онєгін» в реаліях «режисерського театру». З’ясовано передумови формування в межах оперно-театральної традиції нових сценічних версій опери. Виявлено багатовекторність режисерських концепцій опери, що характеризуються різним рівнем стильової єдності та відповідності першоджерелу. Розглянуто сценічні принципи постановки К. Станіславського, які визначили майбутні концептуальні підходи режисури психореалістичної традиції в трактуванні «ліричних сцен». Окреслено основні жанрово-стильові тенденції сучасних режисерських концепцій опери «Євгеній Онєгін». Описано два напрями сучасних стильових пошуків: еклектичний, що характеризується порушенням стилістично-смислової цілісності опери, нашаруванням автономного сценічного тексту несумісної семантичної системи; ціннісно органічний, що вирізняється створенням художньої моделі, де зовнішня і внутрішня форма сфокусовані в новому гіпертексті культури. Проаналізовано нову режисерську постановку А. Жолдака як приклад органічної єдності вербальної, музичної та сценічної складових опери. Визначено невичерпність довербального смислового шару оперного тексту як цілісної міфопоетичної структури та поетичного іносказання. що органічно коригує з поетикою метафоричного театру. З’ясовано семантико-стильові парадигми та ціннісно-смислові орієнтири сучасного прочитання опери «Євгеній Онєгін». Визначено кореляти створення нового гіпертексту культури та етико-естетичного збагачення ціннісної системи, такі як семантико-смислова спорідненість естетичних концепцій учасників культурного діалогу та дотримання принципів художньої правдивості в осмисленні змістових констант опери «Євгеній Онєгін». Доведено обґрунтованість створення нової сценічної партитури як діалогізованої корелюючої ціннісної системи з високим рівнем етико-естетичного узагальнення. Визначено віртуальну незавершеність процесу прочитання оперного тексту «Євгенія Онєгіна» і прогнозовану множинність сценічних форм як іманентну якість видатного художнього явища глибинного ліро-поетичного змісту.
