Authors: Zamberg Ido , Manzano Sergio , Posfay-Barbe Klara , Windisch Olivier , Agoritsas Thomas , Schiffer Eduardo
Published: April 2020

Background

As part of the response plans for the current outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), authorities are drafting and implementing containment measures across jurisdictions worldwide in the effort to slow down transmission and reduce the infection rate. A solid communication strategy is needed to increase the reach of valid information to health professionals, reduce misinformation, and efficiently implement recommended measures.

Objective

The aim of this paper is to describe the utilization of a dedicated mobile health (mHealth) platform to disseminate up-to-date and validated information about SARS-CoV-2 to all medical staff of the Children’s Hospital at the University Hospitals of Geneva.

Methods

Three documents containing institutional information concerning screening, local containment procedures, and frequently asked questions and answers for parents were made available to the staff through a mobile app developed in the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Using a third-party statistics tool, we anonymously monitored user activity as well as content utilization patterns since the diagnosis of the first case of SARS-CoV-2 in Switzerland on February 25, 2020.

Results

From February 25, 2020, to March 13, 2020 (18 days), information documents on SARS-CoV-2 were viewed 859 times, which accounted for 35.6% of the total content views (total views=332). User activity increased significantly with 50.8 (SD 14.4) users per day in this period as compared to the previous weeks (mean 26.4, SD 9.8; P<.001). In addition, session numbers per day more than doubled during the aforementioned period (P<.001). In a survey, medical staff found the information easy to find within the app. On a 10-point Likert scale, the ability of the app to reassure staff in clinical practice was rated as 7.6 (SD 2.1), time-saving ability was rated as 8.5 (SD 2.1), and the need to look for information from other sources was rated as 5.9 (SD 3.3).

Conclusions

The use of an mHealth solution to disseminate novel coronavirus–related information seemed to be an effective and time-saving communication channel within our institution during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Medical staff felt reassured and informed in daily practice. More research should be done on the clinical impact and outcomes of the integration of mHealth solutions as a communication channel of validated information within health institutions.
Educators’ Impression Construction: Considering Perceived Social Media Missteps
Authors: Koehler Adrie A. , Besser Erin D.
Published: April 2020

Social Media (SM) provide exciting instructional opportunities for educators. However, a simple Internet search reveals professional implications that have resulted from educators’ SM usage perceived as missteps. In this research, using an impression construction lens, we considered cases of educators’ SM missteps as perceived by stakeholders and as presented in the news media. From this analysis, a description of what is perceived as inappropriate teacher SM use is provided, explanations of the highlighted SM usage are considered, and a discussion of findings from an impression construction perspective is included. Results suggest impression construction in SM settings is a complex endeavor for educators that prompts varying opinions from stakeholder groups. Suggestions for professional SM use are included.
El ingreso familiar como determinante de la asistencia escolar de los jóvenes en México
Authors: Mancha Torres Gloria Lucinda , Ayala Gaytán Edgardo Arturo
Published: April 2020

El presente trabajo estima el impacto del ingreso familiar en la asistencia escolar de los jóvenes en México en un contexto longitudinal. Con base en los paneles rotativos de la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo (ENOE), se estima un modelo econométrico probit con efectos fijos para determinar la probabilidad de que un joven de 14 a 18 años que vive con sus padres y asiste a la escuela –continúe el siguiente año–, controlando por las características del joven, de su familia, del entorno y cambios temporales. Se encontró evidencia de que la probabilidad de que un joven continúe estudiando aumenta con el ingreso familiar, y este efecto positivo es relativamente más importante en los primeros deciles de ingreso.
Immediacy
Authors: Alvis Jason W.
Published: April 2020

At least for Schleiermacher, religion is life in immediate feeling. Whether or not we agree with him, immediacy can be understood as one essential aspect of feeling that makes feeling congenial as the means by which we tend to express the source of religious experience. Yet in general, immediacy is difficult to define and qualify. Is there a hope for immediacy in seeking “to be delivered from contingency” (Merleau-Ponty)? Is immediacy expressed in the instantaneity of how qualities of things are given in a “total interpenetration” (Sartre)? Or are “immediacy and mediation” always inseparable, thus leaving any “opposition between them to be a nullity”? (Hegel)?[i] Might immediacy entail a threat to faith through the absolutizing of the relative (Kierkegaard)? And finally, would not the absolute insistence upon mediation morph it into a new form of immediacy?

It is against the backdrop of these questions that this paper investigates the constellation of roles immediacy might play in religious experience, and it does so through building upon the (seemingly diametrically opposed) claims of Jean-Yves Lacoste and Anthony Steinbock in regards to religion. For Lacoste, “feeling” is not an adequate means by which we should give expression to religion, in part because it leaves religion responsive to an all too volitional and intentional account. Lacoste also prefers to conceive relation with the Absolute/God (a relation he calls "liturgy") not as an experience, but as a non-experience. Whereas for Steinbock, even though emotions all to often are conceptualized according to sentimentality and solipsism, he undertakes to reveal that (especially regarding Religious Experience or "epiphanic" givenness) they in fact have an inherent inter-personal/Personal or Moral intelligibility. The paper builds up to the final claims that immediacy is a temporal expression of the unconditioned, yet that it is precisely this temporal element in relation to the Absolute that complicates the mediation/immediacy interaction.

Authors: Coutinho Anastasia J. , Nguyen Bich-May , Kelly Christina , Lin Kenneth W. , Gits Alexandra , Crichlow Renee , Moreno Gerardo
Published: April 2020

Background and Objectives: Health advocacy has been declared an essential physician skill in numerous professional physician charters. However, there is limited literature on whether, and how, family medicine residencies teach this skill. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of a formal mandatory advocacy curriculum among US family medicine residencies, barriers to implementation, and what characteristics might predict its presence.
Methods: Questions about residency advocacy curricula, residency characteristics, and program director (PD) attitudes toward family medicine and advocacy were included in the 2017 Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) survey of family medicine residency PDs. We used univariate and bivariate statistics to describe residency characteristics, PD attitudes, the presence of a formal advocacy curriculum, and the relationship between these.
Results: Of 478 PDs, 261 (54.6%) responded to the survey and 236/261 (90.4%) completed the full advocacy module. Just over one-third (37.7%, (89/236)) of residencies reported the presence of a mandatory formal advocacy curriculum, of which 86.7% (78/89) focused on community advocacy. The most common barrier was curricular flexibility. Having an advocacy curriculum was positively associated with faculty experience and optimistic PD attitudes toward advocacy.
Conclusions: In a national survey of family medicine PDs, only one-third of responding PDs reported a mandatory advocacy curriculum, most focusing on community advocacy. The largest barrier to implementation was curricular flexibility. More research is needed to explore the best strategies to implement these types of curricula and the long-term impacts of formal training.
Implementing Competency-Based Medical Education in Family Medicine: A Scoping Review on Residency Programs and Family Practices in Canada and the United States
Authors: Campbell Craig , Hendry Paul , Delva Dianne , Danilovich Natalia , Kitto Simon
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While family medicine has been one of the first specialties to implement competency-based medical education (CBME) in residency, the nature and level of its integration with continuing professional development (CPD) is neither well understood nor well studied. The purpose of this review was to examine the current state of CBME implementation in family medicine residency and CPD programs in the North American education literature, with the aim of identifying implementation concepts and strategies that are generalizable to other medical settings to inform the design and implementation of residency training and CPD.
METHODS: Using an Arksey and O’Malley six-step framework, we searched five online databases and the gray literature over the period between January 2000 through April 2017. We included full-text articles that focused on the key words CBME, residency, CPD, and family medicine.
RESULTS: Of the articles reviewed, 37 met the inclusion criteria and were selected for full review. Eighty six percent of included articles focused on foundation elements related to designing competency-based curriculum and assessment strategies rather than program evaluation or other outcome measures. Only 19% of the articles were related to CPD that focused only on the implementation at the program and/or institution/organization levels.
CONCLUSIONS: Given that the implementation of CBME is in its relative infancy, the pattern of implementation activities described in this scoping review reflected a limited focus on a broad range of issues related to fidelity of implementation of this complex intervention.

The objective of this research was to determine the association between age
at first calving (AFC) and milk production in the first lactation of
longevity traits for Holstein cows. The research was conducted on 2307 cows
raised on 4 farms in AP Vojvodina. The cows were culled in the period from
2017 to 2018. The cows belonged to the group of Holstein Friesian breed of
cattle. Cow longevity was observed using three parameters: number of
lactations (NL), lifetime milk yield (LMY) and length of productive life
(LPL). The research involved the influence of the farm on which the animals
realized their production, the season of first calving. A mean value
obtained for the length of productive life in the analysed population was
1207 days (3.30 years on average). During this period the animals on average
realized 2.45 lactations and produced on average 18798 kg milk. All studied
traits showed a high level of variability. From these data, the study sought
to determine the influence of factors on the traits of longevity, our
research present that studied factors showed high statistical significance
on these traits except in the case of the season of first calving where a
statistical significance effect wasn?t observed. The season of first calving
did not affect the animal traits for longevity and, generally, didn?t affect
the calving interval. Regarding the obtained correlation data between age at
first calving and length of productive life, it can be concluded that
belated AFC leads to reduced reproductive performance.
Effect of variety and seed rate on hydroponic maize fodder biomass yield, chemical composition, and water use efficiency
Authors: Assefa Getachew , Urge Mengistu , Animut Getachew , Assefa Getnet
Published: April 2020

Maize varieties BH540, BH660, BH661, and MVFG (unknown variety as local
check) were evaluated at low (5.6 kg m-2), medium (7.6 kg m-2), and high (9.6
kg m-2) seed rate for hydroponic fodder productivity. A 3 ? 4m wide and 3 m
height low-cost plastic house made of translucent plastic and a plastic trays
made by bisecting a 25 liter capacity plastic oil container into two equal
parts were used for growing the hydroponic fodder. The bottoms of the trays
were drilled to open holes to drain excess water during irrigation and placed
on shelves.The BH661 exhibited significantly (p<0.01) higher dry fodder yield
(6.63 kg) per square meter and per kg seed than the other varieties. Among
the seed rates, the high seed rate has a higher (P< 0.01) Dry Mater (DM)
fodder yield, but the medium and low seed rates had greater DM fodder
conversion efficiency and lower cost per kg DM fodder production. Water use
efficiency was lower for BH540 (64 kg DM fodder per cubic meter water) as
compared to the other varieties that had similar values (90 to 95kg DM fodder
per cubic meter water). Medium and high seed rates exhibited similar water
use efficiency, and it is higher than the low seed rate. Therefore, the use
of BH661 variety at medium seeding rate is recommended for maize hydroponic
fodder production.
Migration of the retained intracranial bullet to the spinal canal: A case report
Authors: Lepic Milan , Minic Ljubodrag , Stefanovic Slavisa , Novakovic Nenad , Lokaj Aleksandra , Pavlicevic Goran
Published: April 2020

Introduction. Retained intracranial missiles migration is rarely reported. Most of the time, the missile will migrate and remain intracranially, but in extremely rare cases, it may reach the spinal canal. The aim of the study was to present a patient with this rare clinical entity. Case report. The 29-years-old male suffered from the gunshot wound to the head through the left external auditory meatus. The bullet was located in the posterior fossa. Initial debridement without bullet removal was performed. Four months after the injury, the patient came back complaining of neck stiffness and progressive weakness of all extremities. Plain radiography revealed the bullet in the spinal canal at the level of C2 vertebra and computed tomography confirmed localization in the posterior aspect. An emergency procedure was performed for bullet removal and spinal cord decompression. Conclusion. The bullets tend to migrate. Migration to the spinal canal is rare, but takes a significant risk, due to the potential secondary injury. The removal of a bullet at-all-costs may not be justified. However, the prediction of migration based on the predisposing factors would be of great value to treating these patients adequately.
From the mother’s arms to the holy table. On the influence of the iconography of the presentation of Christ in the temple on the programmatic evolution of altar paintings in Byzantine churches
Authors: Mitrovic Todor
Published: April 2020

This research explores the relationship between iconographicprogrammatic
innovations in altar wall paintings of post-Iconoclastic churches intended
to facilitate liturgical interpretation and depictions of the Theotokos
(with Christ) usually placed in the apsidal conch. The conclusion on the
existence of direct semantic ties between this type of portrait and the
discovery of the motif of Christ-Child-on-the-Altar-Table is the result of a
contextual analysis of a specific series of artistic explorations based on
the spatial dispersion of Presentation of Christ in the Temple compositions
on the very edges of the altar spaces, which preceded this iconographic
discovery and were ended shortly thereafter.
Two initials in the Miroslav Gospel (fol. 26v and 120r)
Authors: Acimovic Dragana
Published: April 2020

In previous research the human figures represented in the initials on fol.
26v and 120r of the Miroslav Gospel have been interpreted as
personifications of the Year (Annus). However, this view can be challenged
based on their iconographic characteristics, the Gospel verses that follow,
the place of these verses in liturgical practice and their comparison with
relevant visual specimens. The paper proposes a new identification of the
shown human figures. The figure in the initial on fol. 26v can be
interpreted as an allusion to the Feast of Pentecost, while the image in the
initial on fol. 120r could arguably represent the Old Testament patriarch
Noah.
Hidden and forgotten frescoes in Danilo’s narthex at the patriarchate of Pec
Authors: Vojvodic Dragan
Published: April 2020

The paper discusses unknown frescoes in the narthex of the Patriarchate of
Pec Monastery dating from c. 1332 and found during the
conservation-restoration works undertaken in 1931. They were discovered above
the younger vaults (the cycle of the Passion of Christ) and in the large
arched openings on the western side of the narthex, which were walled up in
the sixteenth century (cycle of the True Cross, busts and figures of saints).
During works on the presentation of the monument in 1932, these frescoes were
once again concealed without having been subjected to scholarly research.
However, the photographs taken during the conservation works do allow them to
be studied. The results of their research have significantly altered the
picture of the original wall paintings in the narthex.
The medieval revival and historical topographic representations in The Byzantine monuments of Serbia

The work of Felix Kanitz titled Serbiens byzantinische Monumente. Gezeichnet
und beschrieben von F. Kanitz [The Byzantine Monuments of Serbia. Drawn and
Described by F. Kanitz] published in German and Serbian in 1862 has never
been subjected to more detailed analysis from the perspective of art
history. The need for the contextualization of illustrated books and their
relation to the European culture of historicism, to nature and landscape, as
well as their relationship with various artistic phenomena of the
mid-nineteenth century, demands the placement of Kanitz?s book into the
wider cultural framework of the epoch.
The church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople as a model for Serbian architects in recent times
Authors: Kadijevic Aleksandar
Published: April 2020

Under the influence of Russian and Austrian neo-Byzantinism, as well as
increasingly extensive historiographic research, evocations of Byzantine
architectural achievements appeared in Serbian architecture in the early
1870s. Their merging with the layers of the national schools of medieval
masonry, adapted to the use of modern materials and methods of composition,
stemmed from the uncritical identification of these two historical
traditions, a view that was also present in scholarship for far too long.
Regardless of its theoretical underdevelopment, the emulation of Byzantine
monuments became the dominant trend in monumental architecture, with the cult
of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople culminating after World War I, a period
when large-scale structures were designed.
Coregulator Sin3a promotes postnatal murine β-cell fitness by regulating genes in Ca2+ homeostasis, cell survival, vesicle biosynthesis, glucose metabolism, and stress response

Swi-independent 3a and 3b (Sin3a and Sin3b) are paralogous transcriptional
coregulators that direct cellular differentiation, survival, and function. Here,
we report that mouse Sin3a and Sin3b are co-produced in most pancreatic cells during
embryogenesis but become much more enriched in
endocrine cells in adults, implying continued essential roles in mature endocrine-cell
function. Mice
with loss of Sin3a in endocrine
progenitors were normal during early postnatal stages but gradually developed diabetes
before weaning. These physiological defects were preceded by the compromised survival,
insulin-vesicle packaging, insulin secretion, and nutrient-induced Ca2+
influx of Sin3a-deficient β-cells. RNA-seq
coupled with candidate chromatin-immunoprecipitation assays revealed several
genes that could be directly regulated by Sin3a in β-cells, which modulate Ca2+/ion
transport, cell survival, vesicle/membrane trafficking, glucose metabolism, and
stress responses. Lastly, mice with loss of both Sin3a and Sin3b in multipotent
embryonic pancreatic progenitors had significantly reduced islet-cell mass at
birth, caused by decreased endocrine-progenitor production and increased β-cell
death. These findings highlight the stage-specific requirements for the presumed
“general” coregulators Sin3a and Sin3b in islet β-cells, with Sin3a being dispensable
for differentiation but required for postnatal function and survival.
Occlusal and Esthetic Enhancement: A Noninvasive Approach to an Old Dilemma
Authors: Lima GS , Albino LGB , dos Santos CS , Cenci MS , Pereira-Cenci T
Published: April 2020

This article describes an indirect composite restoration technique for diastema closure and tooth lengthening with a noninvasive approach using regularly available materials such as silicone, composite resin, and an adhesive system. The procedure resulted in occlusal and functional improvement, with diastema closure, protrusive guide adjustment, and an increase in central incisor length. The procedure provided an adequate proportion of the central incisors with an esthetically natural appearance. It also resulted in simple, fast, and accurate manufacturing with a noninvasive esthetic indirect rehabilitation compared with more invasive preparation of ceramic veneers.
Explaining the Variations of Definitions in Gifted Education
Authors: Smedsrud Jørgen
Published: April 2020

Whether we need to agree on a definition of giftedness and whether a general definition is even necessary for the field to move forward has been debated across several paradigms. This article explores variation in definitions and discusses why we encounter so many different views on giftedness. I evaluate definitions of giftedness through the interdisciplinary lens of the philosophy of language and definition theory, arguing that our field can benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. I contend that intelligence-based definitions, which have received much criticism within the field of gifted education, are actually broader in their conceptual range than multidimensional definitions of giftedness. Further, I discuss whether the concept of giftedness is too vague to be defined through a single or few definitions.
The Winter Sport Tourism Product
Authors: Hudson Dr. Simon , Hudson Louise
Published: April 2020

Winter sport activities. As mentioned in Chapter 1, the focus of this book is on the winter sports of skiing and snowboarding, and as previously noted, there are approximately 120 million ski and snowboarders worldwide, with nearly a third of those coming from Western Europe. Figure 2.1 shows the distribution of skiers and boarders by region of origin. The share of international visitors is less than one sixth of partici- pants, with the international flow of skiers and boarders primarily restricted to Europe. Overseas visitors in the U.S., for example, represented just 3.8 per cent of total skier visits in 2012/13. Although some countries have very few ski areas, they are still, like the Netherlands and the U.K., significant outbound markets, sending around one million skiers and boarders each to the mountains every winter. France, Germany, Japan and the U.S. have the biggest domestic ski and snowboard markets, each numbering between 11.5 and 13 million people. In terms of inbound visits, Austria leads the way, with over 34 million, followed by France with 15 million and Switzerland with 13.8 million. Meanwhile, countries with a high level of participation rates amongst domestic populations include Switzerland (37%), Austria (36%), Norway (25%), and Finland (24%). Interestingly, only 4.3 per cent of the population in the U.S. takes to the mountains each winter. Table 2.1 lists the countries that receive over one million skier visits, along with participation rates as a percentage of their population.
Winter Sport Tourism An Overview
Authors: Hudson Dr. Simon , Hudson Louise
Published: April 2020

Winter sport tourism falls under the umbrella of sport tourism, one of the fastest growth sectors of the tourism industry. Although sport tourism is a relatively new concept in contemporary vernacular, its scope of activity is far from a recent phenomenon. The notion of people traveling to participate in and watch sport dates back to the ancient Olympic Games, and the practice of stimulating tour- ism through sport has existed for over a century. Within the last few decades however, destinations have begun to recognize the significant potential of sport tourism, and they are now aggressively pursuing this attractive market niche.
Cross-cultural Differences in the Cultural and Value Orientation of Lebanese and Russian Ethnic Groups

Published: April 2020

The paper is devoted to the problem of studying the cultural and value orientation in Lebanese and Russian ethnic groups. In the presence of a considerable number of publications devoted to cross-cultural researches, both in our country and abroad, there is nevertheless a significant shortcoming in the study of cultural and value differences between the representatives of Russian and Lebanese ethnic groups. The study involved 52 people: 26 representatives of a Lebanese ethnic group and 26 representatives of a Russian ethnic group aged from 21 to 40 years. By representatives of the Russian ethnic group we mean individuals of different nationalities living in Russia. But the sample was made up of Russians. The Lebanese ethnic group was composed of the representatives of different nationalities living in Lebanon (40 % of Christians and 60 % of Muslims). The analysis of the results of the empirical study showed that between the Lebanese and Russian ethnic groups there observed both general patterns and specific, characteristic of each group. The common thing that unites the two ethnic groups is a commitment to the cultural values of their people; the cultures carry a centuries-old formation of society. The differences are present due to the culture and social environment in which a representative of the ethnic group lives from birth. Lebanese are a society with traditional cultural values. The cultural and value orientations of Russians represent an orientation toward the future – the dynamically developing culture, social values.

The study discusses the issues of teenage combatants’ cognitive interest formation and educational-research activity that provide the development of training parameters self-control. The study involved twenty 13–14 years old teenagers from the all-style karate club “Sparta”. The links between cognitive interest and self-control function reflected in the structural components of educational-research activity (such as wide motivational and value support of educational-research activity; the development of attitude to mastering the educational material on physical culture; the need to learn new things; the desire to overcome the difficulties of studying; the favorite mastered exercises that you want to demonstrate in front of the class; the stability of cognitive interest manifestations; the change of motivation from “what I can” to “ready to master new things”) were revealed based on the methods of scientific research, including correlation analysis (Statistica 8). A criterion scale has been developed for assessing various manifestations of 13–14 years old combatants in educational-research activity in terms of training activity parameters self-control. The recommendations ensuring training activity self-control update among teenage combatants in a context of cognitive interest and educational-research activity combined development are set.

Published: April 2020

The study shows the peculiarities of foreign language teaching of elementary-school age children at comprehensive school. The significance of informal foreign language teaching organization and purposeful development of this innovative trend are predetermined by the needs of contemporary society and the specific features of elementary-school age. The leading role in the institutional system of education is played by formal foreign language teaching. Informal foreign language teaching is increasingly becoming the subject of modern pedagogical researches. It is obvious that this linguodidactic model possesses definite controversies and positive characteristics. It is necessary to focus on the process of informal foreign language teaching at elementary-school age at a comprehensive school. The authors analyzed the comparative characteristics of formal and informal teaching, defined the principles of informal language teaching, its advantages and disadvantages, taking into account the experience obtained during the educative training in Finland. The results of the experimental work on the informal foreign language teaching of elementary-school age children at a comprehensive school and a language school are presented.
The Factors of Desocialization of the Individual in Places of Deprivation of Liberty: Towards the Problem of Effectiveness of Criminal Punishment
Authors:   Stavropol branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Dolgopolov Kirill Andreevich
Published: April 2020

The paper analyzes the social problems that arise in the process of criminal punishment. The object of the study is the desocialization of individuals during the period of serving a sentence in prison. The subject of the study is the factors contributing to the deepening of the desocialization. The research objectives are to consider the main problems that arise in the process of serving a sentence in places of deprivation of liberty; to identify the main criteria for the effectiveness of criminal punishment and the process of execution of punishment from the point of view of the public interests. According to the results obtained, it is concluded that certain steps of the state in the field of the reform of the enforcement of criminal sentences do not bring significant results. In this case, the decisive factor is the absence in Russia of a system to compensate for the effects of desocialization in places of deprivation of liberty that significantly increases the problem of relapse of crimes. A number of proposals are being made to formulate appropriate measures.

Through the workshops, concept of work style and plan of renovation were proposed. In addition, the researchers did a survey using two methods which were a set of questionnaire and 3 observationsthat is before the workplace renovation, 3 months after the renovation, and 1 year and 3 months after the renovation. The findings obtained from the questionnaire in the first 3 months after the renovation showed that the opinions of the workers were divided between pros and cons against workplace reform. However, the survey of 1 year and 3 months after the renovation showed that almost all workers are satisfied with the new environment. In addition, the researchers found that a positive correlation exist between participation rate of workshops and the satisfaction level. The findings suggest the worth of workshops for workplace reform. In the Observation Survey, the workers needed to select a place freely where they can work comfortably after the workplace reform. For example, they chose to work in refresh space. In addition, the findings from the survey showed that the floor became livelier when the participation rate increses at that workplace. Additionally, the participants became more conscious of the work style such as features of work style, after workplace renovation; they are able to clearly differentiate between short intermittent works separated by conversation and phone and personal work on concentration.

Multilingualism in Hong Kong’s Formal and Informal Settings: A Brief Historical Review of The Development from The Early 1900s To the Late 2010s
Authors: Mak Chun Nam
Published: April 2020

This article aims at tracing back the making of multilingualism in Hong Kong from a socio-historical viewpoint. It primarily illustrates the linguistic profiles of Cantonese, English, and Putonghua in official domains throughout the colonial period and after the 1997 handover, secondarily describing their roles in Hongkongers’ daily life. The situation of other minor languages is mentioned in passing. The snapshots reveal that a) Cantonese has developed to be a powerless lingua franca of Hongkongers, b) English has become a powerful second language with high economic value that hugely outweighs Cantonese, and that c) Putonghua has been similar to a foreign language despite its official status on the mainland. Other heritage languages of ethnic minorities have existed since the early colonial period, but they have never entered the mainstream or vastly impacted the three dominating languages. The discussion concludes that Hong Kong has yet to be a typical multilingual metropolis where citizens are fluent or native in multiple languages. It is still fluctuating in between monolingualism and multilingualism, however, showing an inclination to the latter.

Authors: Feldman Kyle W. , Hartstein Aaron J.
Published: April 2020

A 74-year-old man was referred to physical therapy by his primary care physician for insidious onset of right shoulder pain. Following examination, spinal radiographs and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA-B27) test, which is used to identify common autoimmune disorders, were completed. The radiographs revealed multilevel changes consistent with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, and the HLA-B27 test was positive.

This review refers to biocompatible microemulsions, which in recent decades have attracted the interest of formulators as nanosystems useful for the skin drug delivery. Microemulsions are homogeneous pseudoternary colloidal dispersions, thermodynamically stable, fluid, transparent, isotropic, consisting of an oil phase and an aqueous phase, stabilized by a mixture of surfactant and cosurfactant and with the droplet diameter of the dispersed phase usually within the range 10-100 nm. To support the potential of biocompatible microemulsions as an innovative topical pharmaceutical form, this paper provides an overview of their type, formulation, structure, composition and characterization, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Currently, the main purpose of the dermal microemulsion formulation is to obtain optimal drug bioavailability under conditions of minimal skin irritability. Numerous studies carried out in the last two decades have shown the potential of microemulsions to increase the percutaneous penetration of drugs, acting as penetration enhancers due to the following advantageous characteristics: high solubilization capacity of natural and synthetic lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds; the release of a large amount of active ingredient in the skin, followed by an increased dermal distribution and permeation. Ensuring skin tolerance in the presence of large amounts of surfactant and co-surfactant in the formulation of microemulsions can be achieved by selecting clinically accepted excipients for topical preparations and generally recognized as safe (Food and Drug Administration). Therefore, biocompatible dermal microemulsions can be prepared using natural excipients (vegetable oils, non-ionic surfactants, volatile oils), which are biodegradable and have lower skin toxicity and irritant potential than synthetic ones.
T Cell Epitope-Based Vaccine Design for Pandemic Novel Coronavirus 2019-nCoV
Authors: Mishra Dr. Seema
Published: April 2020

Immunoinformatics approach has been used to identify potential T cell epitopes from structural and non-structural proteins for immunotherapy against novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV across populations Two different prediction algorithms, NetCTLpan and Pickpocket were used to generate consensus epitopes against HLA supertypes. All of the 57 epitopes identified had no similarity/identity with the human proteome thus preventing crossreactivity. Many of these epitopes formed a tight cluster around consensus sequences MGYINVFAFPFTIYSLLLC and KVSIWNLDYIINLI across proteins and alleles. These should be urgently tested in in-vitro MHC binding and T cell assays before being tried as vaccines to further prevent pandemic due to this lethal coronavirus.

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 with major symptom of pneumonia is bringing huge disasters to the people around the world. Recent research indicates that the natural host of SARS-CoV-2 may be bats, but its intermediate host is still unclear. Only by finding natural and intermediate host for SARS-CoV-2 can cut off the source and prevent the virus from being transmitted to humans. In this study, we established a new method for the mining of intermediate host. We selected 82 representative ACE2 sequences from the 1000 sequences with the closest homology to the human ACE2 protein. All these selected ACE2 proteins were modeled by homology modeling. The potential natural and intermediate hosts, as well as susceptible animals of SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed systematically by calculating the binding free energy of ACE2 protein with the RBD of SARS-CoV-2. Based on this study, Rhinolophus sinicus was suggested to be the natural host, and the virus may be transmitted directly from bats to humans. Primates, some wild Felidae, civet, goats, spotted hyenas and golden hamsters may be susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and could be intermediate hosts, while pangolins are unlikely to be intermediate hosts, and birds and reptiles are not intermediate hosts. Mice, rats and guinea pig are not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Considering the possible susceptibility of non-human primates, goats and golden hamsters, they can be used as experimental animals directly for the SARS-CoV-2 infection models without transgenic operation. Herein, the possible candidates of natural and intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 were suggested, which will provide guiding significance for subsequent researches.

APLICABILIDADE DA ARBITRAGEM NOS CONFLITOS TRABALHISTAS: DIÁLOGO, NEGOCIAÇÃO E CONSTRUÇÃO DO CONSENSO
Authors: Castro Silva William Bruno , Lôbo Edilene
Published: April 2020

RESUMONa sociedade repleta de litígios, pressionada pela ineficiência dos órgãos judiciais, destacam-se técnicas alternativas para soluções desses conflitos, particularmente a arbitragem. O regramento próprio configura a autonomia da vontade que é a essência desse procedimento. Sob tal ângulo, este artigo examina sua aplicabilidade nos dissídios individuais e coletivos a cargo da Justiça do Trabalho. O objetivo é verificar a latitude da aplicação, orientado pelo método indutivo-prospectivo, examinando o estado da arte plasmado na jurisprudência e literatura, realçando sua importância na quadra atual de inibição de acesso à Justiça do trabalho pelo risco das penas pecuniárias previstas para o vencido.
