«Deputy of the Baltic»: dramatic representation of the image of an intellectual in Soviet culture
Authors:   federal state budgetary educational institution of higher education «Saint Petersburg state Institute of cinema and television», Eremenko E. D.
Published: March 2021

Theatrical and cinematic future of so-called by «revolutionary tale» by L. Rakhmanov is unique by its establishment. Both script and screenplay went through several editions. The result contains typical signs of soviet propaganda of 1930s, in all their contradictory continuity. Artistical research is united with soviet agitation, gravity of dramaturgical conflict is united with gravity of philosophical conflict. Main character, professor Polezhaev, is good representative of prerevolutionary intelligentsia, positively accepts changes after 1917. His opinion becomes the reason of occurrence of two groups, supporters and opponents of main character. Leonid Rakhmanov’s libretto had four varieties: staged one («Hectic senility») and two screenplays. All of them are different from “Baltic deputy” (1937, ed. by I. Hejfic and A. Zarchi). Analysis of plot evolution, from the scenario idea to the finished fi lm, is important for the large amount of people, from the cinephiles to the experts such as dramatists, editors and directors. Authors’ ways of «Polezhaev’s case» creation (on the stage, in scripts and fi lm) are significant. Theme of intellectual who lives in eras’ breaking point and confidently declares his honest citizenship is still important.
The experience of the museum commemoration of the Great War of the UK in the 1920–1930s
Authors:   the state museum-reserve «Tsarskoye Selo», Man’kov S. A.
Published: March 2021

The article examines the experience of creating military-historical expositions and museums dedicated to the Great War of 1914-1918 in UK. The process of forming a military history museum, which began during the First World War, received support from government and military circles as a center for rallying the nation around the ideas of a «just» war, the representation of hostilities and with the aim of counterpropagating pacifist sentiments. Conceived as the National War Museum, it was opened in 1920 with Imperial status to counter regional public discontent in the British dominions and colonies. Although the Imperial War Museum was initially popular as a national memorial, interest in it began to wane noticeably over time. A separate place in the article is given to the consideration of several unrealized projects of museum commemoration of the events of the Great War
The influence of folklore and genres in V. Bibergan’s music
Authors:   federal state budget educational institution of higher education «Saint Petersburg State University of Culture», Minyakov I. D.
Published: March 2021

Vadim Bibergan’s music for Russian folk orchestra is important artistic phenomenon and material for study of his musical style. The patterns that define this style are rooted in many of its aspects. Among them, two very noticeable ones can be distinguished: the influence of various genre models and the connection between the composer’s music and folklore, both Russian and foreign. The influence of folk music is determined by at least three parameters: attitude towards quotations from folklore primary sources, the formation and development of musical material, and the introduction of syncretistic features with other arts. The connection of the composer’s works with various genre models is defined as stable, organic and interpreted in different ways within the framework of the entire work of Bibergan. Both above influences are organically built into the style and are its substantial component. Their definition and description are the essence and task of the article, the implementation of which determines its originality and positivity from the point of view of subsequent research on the same topic. The study used the original compositions for the orchestra of Russian folk instruments, the analysis of which is an additional contribution to the study of the music of the St. Petersburg author

The paper provides an overview of the state of activity of art museums in the regions of Siberia in different social networks. Also, the authors monitor the presence of the official website of the museum and its presence in social networks. In addition, an attempt to give a definition «informational image of the museum» is made, and a selected list of art museums in the regions of Siberia is provided. Within the framework of the study, the authors developed recommendations for improving the information image of an art museum such as: group design, museum information, a fixed record, museum collection materials and publications. Moreover, the authors give the best examples of using the site and social networks by the museums to increase users’ activity during a pandemic. So, the authors prove that the official website and work with social networks is an integral part of museum activities aimed at improving a modern museum.

Influence of water mineralization and dissolved main cations on survival, size and seismosensory characteristics of perch fry (Perca fluviatilis L.)
Authors: Kotegov B.G.
Published: March 2021

Within two months the growing of the perch fry Perca fluviatilis L. carried out in the aquarium experiment. Fertilized eggs of this fish species were taken from the spawning ground of a small and unpolluted natural reservoir and placed in laboratory conditions for subsequent incubation under different hydrochemical conditions. Experimental groups of perch were created in two replicates that developed under control conditions with a water salinity of 160 mg/l, under conditions of fresh water diluted to 100 mg/l, and under conditions with water whose salinity was increased relative to the control to 400 mg/l in three different ways - by adding calcium, magnesium or sodium chloride salts. Temperature, light, and oxygen conditions for growing fry in all groups were the same. The perch larvae were fed first with small natural zooplankton, then with artificially grown nauplia of Artemia; perch fry - with tubificid from vermiculture. The average survival rates of late larvae and early fry of perch in the second half of the experiment were maximal in the groups that developed under hydrochemical conditions with the addition of Na+ and Mg2+ (73% and 67%), and minimal in the groups that developed in the least mineralized water (46%). At the end of the experiment, the surviving fry from the groups affected by the increased content of sodium chloride had statistically significantly (p < 0.05) larger linear sizes than the fry from the control groups and groups that developed in the least mineralized water. Perch fry from the groups affected by increased concentrations of Ca2+ were characterized by a statistically significant (p < 0.05) smaller number of pores in the infraorbital and mandibular seismosensory canals of the head, compared with fry formed in conditions of least water mineralization and the minimal content of this main cation in it. Thus, salinity values and features of the ionic composition of fresh water can significantly affect the development of perch fry, which should be taken into account when breeding it in aquaculture.
ZNF367 is differentially expressed in metastasis to lymph nodes in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the brain and the breast resides the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in human breast cancer. We found that the zinc finger protein 367, encoded by ZNF367, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph nodes metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast4. ZNF367 was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer5. ZNF367 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of ZNF367 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient distant metastasis-free survival, in lymph node negative but not in lymph node positive breast cancer. Modulation of ZNF367 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Published: March 2021

Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) develop early in life and are thought to last a lifetime. However, ASC research has two major knowledge gaps that hinder progression in understanding the concept of ASC and in providing proper support for autistic adults: 1) the majority of knowledge about ASC mainly stems from childhood studies so little is known about older autistic adults; 2) while it is broadly recognized that ASC is a heterogeneous condition, we do not yet understand the differences in trajectories leading to their future outcome. We aim to fill both knowledge gaps.A multistage overlapping cohorts design assessing (cognitive) aging in ASC, is designed to obtain an accelerated longitudinal dataset. Data, including a multitude of questionnaires, diagnostics, and cognitive tests, are collected over four waves within a 10-year time frame. This will provide information regarding actual changes in quality of life, co-occurring health conditions, and cognition as well as the possibility to test external validity and temporal stability in newly formed behavioral subtypes. Participants consist of three groups of adults aged 20 to 90 years: 1) with a clinical diagnosis of ASC; 2) with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD, but no ASC; 3) no ASC/ADHD (i.e., comparison group; COM). The sample size differs between waves and instruments. Detailed analysis plans will be preregistered in AsPredicted or at the Open Science Framework. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the ethical review board of the Department of Psychology of the University of Amsterdam (Wave 1 2011-PN-1952 and 2013-PN-2668, Wave 2 2015-BC-4270, Wave 3 and 4 2018-BC-9285). In line with the funding policies of the grant organization funding this study, future papers will be published open access.

Interdisciplinary Development of a Transdiagnostic Mobile App to Enhance Children’s Emotion Regulation: Sharing Insights and Lessons Learned
Authors: Moltrecht Bettina , Patalay Praveetha , Bear Holly Alice , Deighton Jessica , Edbrooke-Childs Julian
Published: March 2021

Background: Digital interventions, including mobile apps represent promising means to provide effective mental health support to young people. Despite the increased availability of mental health apps, there is a significant gap for this age group, especially for younger children. Research investigating the effectiveness and development process of child mental health apps is limited, and the field faces persistent issues in relation to low user up-take and engagement, which is assumed to be a result of lackinginterdisciplinary approaches.Objective: We present the development and design process of a new mental health app for children that targets their emotion regulation abilities. We describe the creation of a new interdisciplinary development framework, to guide the design process, and explain how each activity informed different app features.Methods: The first two stages of the framework employed a variety of methods, including: 1) classroom observations, 2)public-engagement events with the target group (N=21), 3) synthesis of the existing evidence as part of a meta-analysis, 4) a series of co-design and participatory workshops with young users (N=33), clinicians (N=7), researchers (N=12), app developers (N=1) , designers (N=2), and lastly 5) testing of the first high-tech prototype (N=15).Results: For the interdisciplinary framework we drew on methods derived from the medical research council framework for complex interventions, the patient-clinician-framework and Druin’s cooperative inquiry. The classroom observations, public-engagement events, and synthesis of the existing evidence informed the first key pillars of the app and wireframes. Subsequently, a series of workshops shaped and reshaped the content and app features, including games, psychoeducational films, and practice modules. Based on the prototype testing sessions we made further adjustments to improve the app.Conclusions: Although mobile apps could be highly suitable to support young people’s mental health on a wider scale, there is little guidance on how these interventions could be designed. The involvement of the different methods and especially the young users was very valuable. We hope that the interdisciplinary framework and multiple methods that we applied will be helpful to others who are also aiming to develop suitable apps for young people.

Doing Racial Projects in Requests for Police Service: The reproduction of racial common sense in emergency calls
Authors: Hill MJ
Published: March 2021

Patterns of racial inequality are well-documented in domains like criminal justice, but the interactional mechanisms that produce these inequalities and constitute race remain underspecified. In this paper, I use conversation analytic research methods to examine police service calls as one site of such mechanisms. Drawing on analysis of 64 police-relevant emergency service calls placed in the United States 2005-2015, I show how the institution of emergency calls relies upon the racial categorization practices of callers and call-takers. I further show that this routine reliance on race opens the door for participants to use racist inferences to make sense of reported complaints. In this way, I illustrate how racial projects are enacted through situated social practices.

This technical report presents the quality assessment process for the emergency corrective maintenance of critical care ventilators in a node, IPT-POLI, of a voluntary network that is part of the initiative +Maintenance of Ventilators, led by the National Service of Industrial Training (SENAI) and its Integrated Manufacturing and Technology Center (CIMATEC) to perform maintenance on unused mechanical ventilators in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. A procedure was established for the quality assessment of equipment subjected to corrective emergency maintenance, covering the essential aspects of the three primary standards (ABNT NBR IEC 60601-1: 2010+A1:2016, ABNT NBR ISO IEC 62353: 2019, and ABNT NBR ISO 80601-2-12:2014) for performance and safety assessment. A set of nine critical care ventilators was evaluated considering the following parameters: leakage current, protective ground resistance, control accuracy, delivered oxygen test, and alarms. The evaluated ventilators underwent corrective emergency maintenance before performance and safety assessments. In the electrical safety tests, all equipment presented values prescribed for the standard. However, the assessment of ventilator parameters revealed that their performance was below the standard. Finally, quality assessment reports were sent to the clinical engineering departments at hospitals. Thus, it can be concluded that criteria selection for the quality assessment in critical care ventilators is crucial and of great significance for future pandemic scenarios, such as the situation experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Anxieties of Encounter and Exchange: Saracens and Christian Heroism in Sir Beves of Hamtoun
Authors: Calkin Siobhain Bly
Published: March 2021

As Edward Said, Norman Daniel, and Dorothee Metlitzki have pointed out, the purportedly Muslim figures who appear in medieval western literature usually bear little or no resemblance to historical Muslims of the period. Said states, "we need not look for correspondence between the language used to depict the Orient and the Orient itself, not so much because the language is inaccurate but because it is not even trying to be accurate" (71). Similarly, Daniel and Metlitzki identify repeated stereotypical misrepresentations of Islam in medieval literary texts, such as the depiction of Islam as a polytheistic religion or the depiction of alcohol-drinking Muslims (Daniel 3-4, 49-51, 72-73, 81, 133-54; Metlitzki 209-10). It is certainly true that there is little or no mimetic relationship between literary Saracens and historical Muslims, but it should be noted that literary Saracens, despite their inaccuracies, did connote for the West an extremely powerful, technologically advanced Muslim civilization, which both impressed medieval Christians with its scientific knowledge and immense wealth, and menaced them militarily with its many victories over crusaders and its capacity for territorial expansion. Thus, while the Saracens of western literature may not offer us a historically accurate vision of medieval Islam, they can occasionally offer us some insight into the anxieties historical Islam posed for the West. This essay examines moments in the fourteenth-century Middle English romance Sir Beves of Hamtoun when the text’s depiction of one knight’s assimilation into a Saracen world communicates historical anxieties about how life in a Saracen enclave might compromise the Christian heroism of an English knight. The essay argues that Beves of Hamtoun both conveys a fear of Christian assimilation into a non-Christian world, and defines a model of heroic action to counteract such assimilation and re-establish the borders between Christianity and Saracenness. However, the text also indicates the ways in which heroic efforts to reconstruct such borders might ultimately fail.

Published: March 2021

The Philippines is a significant producer of tunas globally but has experienced a decline in tuna production in recent years. Thus, efforts to explore and assess new fishing grounds were conducted by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) through M/V DA-BFAR. Assessment of the spawning and nursery grounds of tunas in the country’s EEZ was also undertaken to properly manage and conserve tuna stocks. The said assessment commenced in 2006 and is continuing up to the present. All the data from 2006-2018 were compiled, including the data from collaborative studies with the University of the Philippines-Marine Science Institute and Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center to create an overall profile of Scombridae’s abundance and distribution larvae in Philippine waters. The study results showed that family Scombridae is most abundant in the Philippine waters along Batanes-Polillo and areas off Eastern Luzon. Species diversity in Philippine waters was considerably high, with about six to eight dominant species. The most dominant species was Thunnus albacares., followed by Thunnus obesus, Auxis spp., Katsuwonus pelamis, unidentified Scombrid larvae, Rastrelliger spp., Thunnus alalunga, and Thunnus tonggol. The Scombridae species are diverse in the West Philippine Sea and Batanes-Polillo waters but not in Davao Oriental-Surigao waters.
Assessment on the Occurrence of Anisakid and other Endoparasitic Nematodes Infecting Commercially-Important Fishes at Tayabas Bay
Authors: Ramos Maribeth H. , Argarin Trazarah Hanoof E. , Olaivar Beatriz A.
Published: March 2021

Anisakid nematodes are parasites commonly present in the marine environment. Parasites belonging to the family Anisakidae or the genus Anisakis can cause two different clinical manifestations: gastrointestinal disorders and allergic reactions known as anisakiasis. In this study, we examined 7,126 marine fishes belonging to four different commercially-important fish species; Rastrelliger kanagurta, Sardinella lemuru, Atule mate, and Selar crumenophthalmus for the presence of anisakid and other endoparasitic nematode infection. The fishes caught from Tayabas Bay were bought from three different landing sites from March 2017 to February 2018. The gonads, liver, and stomach of each fish species were incubated for 12-18 hours for rapid isolation and endoparasite evaluation. After the isolation of parasites, anisakid nematodes were fixed in vials with 70% ethanol for morphological analysis under the microscope. Six anisakid groups of genera, including Hysterothylacium, Terranova, Anisakis, Contracaecum, Raphidascaris, and Camallanus, and a non-anisakid group Echinorhynchus were identified. The results showed that the prevalence of anisakid infection in all species was 24.18 %, with a mean intensity of infection of 1.91. Rastrelliger kanagurta (Dalahican), Atule mate, and Selar crumenophthalmus were the most infected with 50.90%, 38.98%, and 30.52% prevalence rate, respectively, followed by Rastrelliger kanagurta (San Francisco) (24.18%) and Sardinella lemuru (7.46%). The collected data suggest that commercially-important fish caught in the Tayabas Bay waters are susceptible to parasitization by larvae of the genus Camallanus followed by Hysterothylacium and Terranova in their visceral organs. The prevalence of anisakid infection was almost similar between female (45.3 %) and male (47.21 %) fishes with a mean intensity of 1.95 & 1.96, respectively. Also, larger fishes were heavily infected with anisakid larvae than small fishes. Thus, the intensity and prevalence of the fish parasite can be used as a biological tag for benchmarking and stock assessment purposes.

Does Pyloric-ring Resection in Pancreaticoduodenectomy Prevent Delayed Gastric Emptying?
Authors: Thongkan Tortrakoon , Pitakteerabundit Thakerng , Wiboonkhwan Nan-ak
Published: March 2021

Objective: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common, post pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) complication, which prolongs hospital stay, increases the cost of treatment and delays adjuvant therapy. Although, pylorospasm is one of the proposed mechanisms, the results of pyloric ring resection PD remain controversial. Hence, this study investigated whether pyloric ring resection PD decreased the incidence of DGE.Material and Methods: Between June, 2015 and July, 2018; 74 patients underwent a PD for periampullary lesions, of whom 25 patients received pylorus-preserving PD (PPPD) and 49 patients received pyloric-ring resection PD (PRPD). DGE was classified according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery.Results: The incidence of DGE in the PPPD group and PRPD group were 48.0% (12 of 25 patients) and 20.4% (10 of 49 patients), respectively (p-value=0.029). Factors associated with DGE were pyloric preserving [adjusted Odds ratio (OR)=8.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.96-34.82, p-value=0.002], preoperative biliary drainage (adjusted OR=0.19, 95% Cl: 0.05-0.78, p-value=0.013) and postoperative intraabdominal collection (adjusted OR=37, 95% Cl: 5.68-241.24, p-value<0.001).Conclusion: PRPD demonstrated a significant decrease of DGE, and should be one of the standard surgical treatments for periampullary carcinoma.

Laying Foundation to Advertisement Genre: An Analysis of Job Advertisement Discourse Made by the Royal Civil Service Commission of Bhutan
Authors: Dendup Pema
Published: March 2021

To lay foundation in the literature related to the genre of advertisements, this paper is a synchronic approach to study the job advertisements made by the Royal Civil Service Commission (RCSC) of Bhutan. RCSC is the major recruiting agency of civil servants into a government job. As mandated, RCSC recruits thousands of fresh employees annually. RCSC features its job-related announcements in the media, mainly the Bhutan Broadcasting Service, the mainstream media and also in its official website. The data of this study was the ‘Vacancy Announcement’ dated January 8, 2020, featured in RCSC website and the analysis of the data was based on Swale’s (1990) Six Defining Characteristics of Discourse Community. The results showcased Bhutan as a bilingual society for informing the citizens as the job advertisements were delivered in both Dzongkha and English. RCSC’s format of job advertisement employed the common format used by most of the organisations. This study points that there is a need to look into some elements used by other organisations. Therefore, this study recommends  RCSC, as the major recruiting agency in Bhutan, to incorporate other missing elements of job advertisement.

Published: March 2021

This study aims to reveal the representation, relations, and identity of the Maritime Laws using a critical ecolinguistic approach. This linguistic phenomenon is a treasure trove of Malay intellectual property in the past. This type of research is literature research with a qualitative descriptive method. The data was collected by using the method of observing free and speaking with observation and note-taking techniques. The data analysis used the mix and match methods, especially referential equivalents, translational equivalents, and pragmatic equivalents. The results of data analysis were explained using informal methods. The data used is written data from the Malay Maritime Laws. The results have shown that the contents of the text of the Malay Maritime Laws are related to the duties and obligations of seafarers who sail. Ecolexicons, phrases, and sentences related to marine and shipping existed at that time. This fact occurs because the sea has been the lifeblood of the Malay people for centuries and will continue to be passed on to future generations.
Functioning of Information Systems and Technologies in Insurance
Authors: Kisileva Inna , Gevorgyan Goar
Published: March 2021

In this article, the authors considered the concepts of "information system" and "information technology", studied the interpretation of these concepts by other scientists and, as a result, managed to give their own definition of the above terms. The purpose of this study is to review and analyze information systems in Ukraine to offer more efficient types of information systems and improve the state of the insurance market in the country as a whole and the activities of insurance companies separately.

As a result of the analysis of various sources, it was possible to formulate requirements for information technologies and systems, among which the most important are: automation of processes in an insurance company, assistance with various calculations, ease of interface and use, additional functions such as accounting, etc. We managed to identify the three most common systems, compare them with each other and indicate the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. It is also important that before introducing information systems into their activities, it is necessary to prepare the insurer for this: to develop instructions and rules for working with the system, to establish workflow, to distribute responsibilities between employees.

Thus, in the modern world, insurance companies urgently need to implement information systems and technologies in their activities, because they are "assistants" in working with clients, greatly simplify the processes associated with insurance, affect the company's competitiveness, and help its development.

And, to summarize, the development of information technologies in the insurance industry is still not over and companies continue to work on improving existing systems and developing new systems, focusing on market requirements, among which the authors highlighted: scaling of information systems, expanding the functionality of programs, simplifying the interface, etc.
Origine et diffusion des expressions romanes du type jaune paille

All major Romance languages have patterns of the type jaune paille for expressing shades of colour represented by some prototypical object. The first constituent of this pattern is a colour term, while the second one designates a prototypical representative of the colour shade.
The present paper starts with a short discussion of the controversial grammatical status of this pattern and its constituents. Its main aim, however, concerns the origin and diffusion of this pattern. We have not found hard and fast evidence that Medieval Italian pigment compounds of the type
verderame influenced the rise of the jaune paille pattern, which first appears in French in the 16th century. This pattern continued to be a minority solution during the 17th century, but established itself during the 18th century. In the 19th century, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese
adopted the pattern jaune paille, while it did not reach Catalan and Romanian before the 20th century.

Comparison of the effects of extracorporeal shockwave treatment with kinesiological taping treatments added to exercise treatment in myofascial pain syndrome
Authors: Yalçın Ümit
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Although studies examined kinesiological taping (KT) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), no study has yet compared these two treatments. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of KT and ESWT on pain, pain threshold, functional level and neck movements in the treatment of MPS, which is an important cause of disability and constitutes 50–80% of chronic painful diseases. METHODS: Two hundred and sixty-two patients diagnosed with MPS in the upper part of the unilateral trapeze muscle were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment they received: Group 1 (n= 75): ESWT + exercise, Group 2 (n= 82): KT + exercise, Group 3 (n= 105) and the latter receiving only exercise therapy (control group). Visual analog scale (VAS), pain threshold with algometer, Neck Disability Index (NDI), and neck contralateral lateral flexion angle were assessed before and three months after treatment. RESULTS: VAS, pain threshold, NDI and contralateral flexion angle values after treatment improved significantly in the ESWT and KT groups (p< 0.05) compared to the control group. The level of improvement in the ESWT group was higher (p< 0.05) than in the KT group in terms of VAS, pain threshold and NDI scores. CONCLUSION: Exercise, KT and ESWT applications in MPS were effective in all of the parameters examined. However, the ESWT + exercise therapy was more effective in terms of pain, pain threshold and disability.

A 33 years’ old male complained of excessive salivation with frequent swallowing and spitting, which resulted in communication disturbance, reduced quality of life, and social embarrassment for 19 years. He had been diagnosed as sialorrhea and submandibular gland hyperfunction by stomatologist, then had unilateral submandibular gland resection 13 years ago, but the symptom relief was not satisfactory. After that, he had been treated with glycopyrrolate for less than a year, which was withdrawn because of the short duration of symptomatic control after each tablet take-in and intolerable side effects. With the wish to receive a new treatment with long term effectiveness, low re-operation risk and normal preserved saliva secretion function, the patient was subject to MWA for the right submandibular gland. After systematic clinical evaluation, US-guided percutaneous MWA was successfully performed with an uneventful post-operative course. The volume of the right submandibular gland and ablated area were measured precisely by an ablation planning software system with automatic volume measurement function based on three-dimensional reconstruction of the pre-operative and post-operative enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) raw data. Finally, the ablated volume was calculated as 62.2% of the whole right submandibular gland. The patient was discharged 1 day after the operation, with symptoms relieved significantly, the mean value of whole saliva flow rate (SFR) decreased from 11 ml to 7.5 ml per 15 minutes. During the follow up by phone three months after operation, the patient reported that the treatment effect was satisfactory, whereas the SFR value became stable as 7 ml per 15 minutes, drooling frequency and drooling severity (DFDS) score decreased from 6 to 5, drooling impact scale (DIS) score decreased from 43 to 26. US-guided percutaneous MWA of submandibular gland seems to be an alternative, minimal invasive, and effective treatment for refractory sialorrhea. We described a patient with refractory sialorrhea treated successfully with ultrasound (US) guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA).

BACKGROUND: The effects of temperature on micro-rheological variables have not been completely revealed yet. OBJECTIVE: To investigate micro-rheological effects of heat treatment in human, rat, dog, and porcine blood samples. METHODS: Red blood cell (RBC) - buffer suspensions were prepared and immersed in a 37, 40, and 43°C heat-controlled water bath for 10 minutes. Deformability, as well as mechanical stability of RBCs were measured in ektacytometer. These tests were also examined in whole blood samples at various temperatures, gradually between 37 and 45°C in the ektacytometer. RESULTS: RBC deformability significantly worsened in the samples treated at 40 and 43°C, more expressed in human, porcine, rat, and in smaller degree in canine samples. The way of heating (incubation vs. ektacytometer temperation) and the composition of the sample (RBC-PBS suspension or whole blood) resulted in the different magnitude of RBC deformability deterioration. Heating affected RBC membrane (mechanical) stability, showing controversial alterations. CONCLUSION: Significant changes occur in RBC deformability by increasing temperature, showing inter-species differences. The magnitude of alterations is depending on the way of heating and the composition of the sample. The results may contribute to better understanding the micro-rheological deterioration in hyperthermia or fever.

Background:

Cognitive impairment (CI) is a key feature of late life depression (LLD), but the contribution of underlying neurodegenerative pathology remains unclear.

Objective:

To evaluate cognitive dysfunction in LLD relative to a sample of nondepressed (ND) older adults with matched levels of memory impairment and amyloid-β (Aβ) burden.

Methods:

Participants included 120 LLD and 240 ND older adults matched on age, education, sex, Mini-Mental State Exam, mild cognitive impairment diagnosis, and PET Aβ burden.

Results:

LLD showed higher rates of impairment relative to ND with 54.6% of the LLD sample demonstrating impairment in at least one cognitive domain compared to 42.9% of controls ( H = 7.13, p = 0.008). LLD had poorer performance and higher rates of impairment on Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test learning and memory compared to controls. In the overall sample, Aβ positivity was associated with worse performance on Logical Memory I ( p = 0.044), Logical Memory II ( p = 0.011), and Trail Making Test –B ( p = 0.032), and APOE ɛ4 genotype was associated with worse performance on Logical Memory I ( p = 0.022); these relationships did not differ between LLD and ND.

Conclusion:

LLD showed higher rates of CI driven by focal deficits in verbal learning and memory. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers were associated with worse performance on timed set-shifting and story learning and memory, and these relationships were not impacted by depression status. These findings suggest that AD may account for a portion of previously reported multi-domain CI in LLD and highlight the potential for AD to confound studies of cognition in LLD.

Due to its clean and abundant availability, solar energy is popular as a source to generate electricity. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight incident on the solar PV panel or array directly into non-linear DC electricity. However, the non-linear nature of the solar panels’ power needs to be tracked for its efficient utilization. The problem of non-linearity becomes more prominent when the solar PV array is shaded, even leading to high power losses and concentrated heating in some areas (hotspot condition) of the PV array. Bypass diodes used to eliminate the shading effect cause multiple peaks of power on the power versus voltage (P-V) curve and make the tracking problem quite complex. Conventional algorithms to track the optimal power point cannot search the complete P-V curve and often become trapped in local optima. More recently, metaheuristic algorithms have been employed for maximum power point tracking. Being stochastic, these algorithms explore the complete search area, thereby eliminating any chance of becoming trapped stuck in local optima. This paper proposes a hybridized version of two metaheuristic algorithms, Radial Movement Optimization and teaching-learning based optimization (RMOTLBO). The algorithm has been discussed in detail and applied to multiple shading patterns in a solar PV generation system. It successfully tracks the maximum power point (MPP) in a lesser amount of time and lesser fluctuations.

Online condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are crucial for the safe operation of equipments. This paper highlights an unsupervised statistical algorithm based on principal component analysis (PCA) for the predictive maintenance of industrial induced draft (ID) fan. The high vibration issues in ID fans cause the failure of the impellers and, sometimes, the complete breakdown of the fan-motor system. The condition monitoring system of the equipment should be reliable and avoid such a sudden breakdown or faults in the equipment. The proposed technique predicts the fault of the ID fan-motor system, being applicable for other rotating industrial equipment, and also for which the failure data, or historical data, is not available. The major problem in the industry is the monitoring of each and every machinery individually. To avoid this problem, three identical ID fans are monitored together using the proposed technique. This helps in the prediction of the faulty part and also the time left for the complete breakdown of the fan-motor system. This helps in forecasting the maintenance schedule for the equipment before breakdown. From the results, it is observed that the PCA-based technique is a good fit for early fault detection and getting alarmed under fault condition as compared with the conventional methods, including signal trend and fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis.
