Primary search for new sources of effective resistance in representatives of the genus Triticum L. against Stagonospora nodorum Berk.
Authors: Nuzhnaya T.V. , Veselova S.V. , Burkhanova G.F. , Maksimov I.V.
Published: November 2022

In the last decade, works have appeared that propose the use of wheat susceptibility genes to the pathogen Stagonospora nodorum Berk. (Snn) as molecular markers for marker-based selection. Relationships in the pathosystem "wheat - S. nodorum" are carried out according to the "gene-for-gene" type in mirror image, i.e. the interaction of necrotrophic effectors of the fungus SnTox with the products of host susceptibility genes Snn leads to the development of the disease. The work studied the interactions of SnToxA-Tsn1 and SnTox1-Snn1, which play an important role in the development of Septoria nodorum blotch in soft and hard wheats. Using gene-specific primers for the Tsn1 and Snn1 susceptibility genes, PCR diagnostics of samples of polyploid wheat species of the genus Triticum and ancient varieties of T. aestivum from the PGR VIR collection for resistance to Stagonospora nodorum was carried out. Both dominant alleles of the Tsn1 and Snn1 genes were found in the tetraploid wheat T. durum x-46 and two ancient spring cultivars Selkirk and Salamouni. The dominant allele of the Snn1 gene was found in four studied ancient varieties of common wheat of winter and spring types of development. Primary screening of 12 accessions from the PGR VIR collection revealed two resistant accessions among tetraploid wheat species T. militinae k-59942 and T. timopheevii k-58666 and three resistant varieties of hexaploid wheat T. aestivum with winter development type Mironovskaya 808, Amelio and Susquehanna. These accessions are a promising source for gene introgression into cultivated wheats and material for breeding new wheat varieties.

Authors: Alejandro Pablo Sicilia Castresana , Santos Lydia Mediavilla , Jose Antonio Calvo Haro , Mañanes Rubén Pérez , Dehesa Miguel Cuervo , Francisco Javier Vaquero Martín
Published: November 2022

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare benign bone tumor characteristic of the first decades of life. Malignization of ABC in the absence of risk factors such as radiotherapy is extremely rare, with few cases published in the literature. There are malignant tumors such as telangiectatic osteosarcoma with an initial clinical, radiological and anatomopathological resemblance that requires special attention in their differential diagnosis. We present two patients with an initial histologic diagnosis of ABC who developed true malignancy, in the absence of risk factors, into osteoblastic osteosarcoma and epithelioid angiosarcoma. In spite of its exceptional nature, in the presence of an aggressive type of ABC malignant degeneration should always be suspected and therefore, an open biopsy and wide resection performed for a correct diagnosis to avoid residual microscopic disease in case of aggressiveness. Epithelioid angiosarcoma from an ABC tumor malignancy has never been described before.

O artigo propõe uma leitura da matéria jornalística Caetano estaciona carro no Leblon nesta quinta-feira como paradigma da inflação da escrita biográfica no contemporâneo. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o espaço biográfico hoje e sua colonização pela retórica da comunicação massiva, demonstramos um paralelo recrudescimento do apelo à ficção, que dá origem a textos literários que parodiam o biografismo midiático. Entendidos como contracomunicações, esses discursos produzem uma crítica da febre biográfica, capaz de demonstrar suas ressonâncias e limites estético-comunicacionais.
O rock gaúcho em suas biografias e autobiografias
Authors: Govari Caroline , Wizniewsky Amaral João Pedro , Amaral Adriana
Published: November 2022

Com a intenção de dar continuidade à Arqueologia da Mídia do rock gaúcho (Amaral et al, 2017), este artigo busca discutir questões culturais e musicais do rock produzido em Porto Alegre a partir das narrativas de vida sobre – e dos – roqueiros gaúchos. Por ser um material pouco explorado academicamente nas pesquisas sobre rock no Rio Grande do Sul e no Brasil, inicialmente tratamos dos conceitos de biografia, autobiografia e método biográfico para, na sequência, fazer uma análise das narrativas de vida dos artistas mencionados. Como resultado preliminar, observamos que as estruturas de sentimento e narrativas dessas biografias desenvolvem a figura do protagonista como anti-herói, despreocupado com as normas culturais dominantes, (auto)isolado da indústria musical mainstream.

Silenced voices and speaking up: A case study of Romani people in Europe
Authors: Petkova Diana P.
Published: November 2022

This paper presents the perceptions of silence in two Romani (Gipsy) cultures in Europe – Bulgaria and Finland. On the basis of field studies and two in-depth interviews, conducted in the towns of Mikkeli (Finland) and Ihtiman (Bulgaria), it outlines the attitudes of the European Roma people towards “being marginalised” and “silenced”. Silence is perceived by them in terms of “being different” and “being sometimes ashamed”. In the Romani culture there is a special relationship between “silence”, “pride” and “shame” as a specific worldview and a mechanism of constructing of both the personal and the collective ethnic identities. The paper also studies the phenomenon of self-silencing as a strategy of coping with undesirable situations that seem to disturb the mental wellbeing of two individuals. It underlines the need for raising the awareness of education within the Roma community in Europe and concludes that it is necessary to differentiate between “cultural” and “non-cultural” practices in the educational system.
Book Review: The Bloomsbury Handbook of Solitude, Silence and Loneliness
Authors: Bao Dat
Published: November 2022

This review outlines some key contents and features of a recently published handbook, perhaps the first comprehensive collection of scholarly works that brings together the three related themes, solitude, silence and loneliness. The volume also represents a dialogic and idea-sharing space among researchers in these areas. Some authors are members of the International Society for Research on Solitude (ISRS); others are editorial members of the Journal of Silence Studies (JSSE). As a humble but growing field, these themes have increasingly attracted scholarly attention, evident in activities such as the annual Alone Together Symposium initiated by Prof Julian Stern (UK) and Dr Malgorzata Walejko (Poland), the forthcoming Solitude Book Series with Bloomsbury, many research articles contributing to the Journal of Silence Studies (JSSE), among other undertakings that are expanding the body of research-based knowledge in silence studies.
Specific Features of Commercial and Contract Law in Latin America
Authors: Abrosimova Elena A.
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the dualism of private law in Latin America with the examples of civil and commercial codes of individual states of the continent. A specific feature of the legislation governing trade activities is the incorporation of the customs of the indigenous peoples inhabiting the territory of South America into the colonial legal systems of continental Europe, which led to the formation of dualistic principles of trade and contractual regulation. The purpose of this article was to identify the common and distinctive features of contractual regulation of commercial relations in different countries of Central and South America in terms of defining the concept of a contract, the subject of the contract, the procedure for concluding a contract and individual contractual structures. The specificity of the legal regulation of contractual relations in Latin America is analyzed by means of historical, comparative legal research methods and the method of content analysis of the provisions of normative acts. Civil and commercial codes, as well as other regulations of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay, Venezuela, Bolivia and a number of other Latin American countries were used as empirical material. The following can be stated as the basic principles on which the Latin American system of Contractual law is built: the autonomy of participants in commercial relations, the social function of the contract and freedom of contract, good faith and equality of the parties in contractual obligations. The dualism of private law in Latin American countries leads to a different understanding of civil law contracts and commercial transactions concluded by participants in trade, which is reflected in the provisions of the civil and commercial codes and the definition of the subject of the contract. Separately, the article discusses the procedure for concluding an agreement through the offer-acceptance structure, as well as in the negotiation process.
Artificial intelligence: legal status or legal regime?
Authors: Baturin Yuri M.
Published: November 2022

In Russia, like elsewhere in the world, artificial intelligence, robots and robotic technologies have been introduced into various fields of economy, and state and public life. The variety of spheres of application in which artificial intelligence in different forms is currently used and will be used in future, have implications for the legal system and require adequate legal developments that would take into account the features of these fundamentally novel and previously unknown technologies. The solution of this complex task, in its turn, involves theoretical understanding of multiple conceptual issues that can affect the success or failures of legal regulations in the area of public relations under consideration. The article considers Asimov’s laws of robotics and ethical norms that have been proposed for artificial intelligence in the Concept of development of regulation of relations in the sphere of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies for the period till 2024. The authors discuss the subject of criminal law assessment of robots’ behavior, and propose the understanding and definitions of notions like “ethics” and “lawfulness” of robots’ behavior, “ethical violations”, “offences”, “guilt” and “responsibility” of robots. The authors also analyze anthropomorphism as one of the strategies of social robotics, its pros and cons. The authors conclude that legislation should use as a starting point the functions of artificial intelligence and it should be uniform towards all emerging forms. At present stage of development, it is necessary to have a legal regime established for robots (artificial intelligence), while the legal status for them is the matter of future, when they will acquire real autonomy and will be able to carry out their own free choice of behavior.

Mild Cognitive Impairment, Reversion Rates, and Associated Factors: Comparison of Two Diagnostic Approaches
Authors: Overton Marieclaire , Sjögren Benjamin , Elmståhl Sölve , Rosso Aldana
Published: November 2022

Background: As mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is typically used to identify prodromal stages of dementia, it is essential to identify MCI criteria with high diagnostic stability and prediction of dementia. Moreover, further investigation into pinpointing key factors for reversion is required to foresee future prognosis of MCI patients accurately. Objective: To explore disparities in diagnostic stability by examining reversion rates produced by two operationalizations of the MCI definition: the widely applied Petersen criteria and a version of the Neuropsychological (NP) criteria and to identify cognitive, lifestyle, and health related factors for reversion. Methods: MCI was retrospectively classified in a sample from the Swedish community-based study Good Aging in Skåne with the Petersen criteria (n = 744, median follow-up = 7.0 years) and the NP criteria (n = 375, median follow-up, 6.7 years), respectively. Poisson regression models estimated the effect of various factors on the likelihood of incident reversion. Results: Reversion rates were 323/744 (43.4%, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 39.8; 47.0) and 181/375 (48.3% 95% CI: 43.2; 53.5) for the Petersen criteria and NP criteria, respectively. Participants with impairment in a single cognitive domain, regular alcohol consumption, living with someone, older age, and lower body mass index had a higher likelihood of reverting to normal. Conclusion: Reversion rates were similar for Petersen and NP criteria indicating that one definition is not superior to the other regarding diagnostic stability. Additionally, the results highlight important aspects such as multiple domain MCI, cohabitation, and the role of alcohol on predicting the trajectory of those diagnosed with MCI.

Authors: Xu Yufeng , Qiu Jianfa
Published: November 2022

The safe operation of bridges is a major issue related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. With the rapid development of the water transport industry, the problems of ship yaw and bridge collision avoidance occur frequently, which cause serious harm to the bridge structure and safety. However, the current bridge health monitoring system is difficult to feed back the monitored information in time, and in the process of collecting information by wireless sensors, information errors or missing problems easily occur, which hinders the normal monitoring of bridge health. With the rapid development of the Internet and the gradual maturity of wireless sensor technology, how to achieve complete and effective collection and feedback of monitoring information has become a hot research topic and an urgent problem. Therefore, on the basis of Internet technology, this study perceives, collects and processes the ship information in the bridge monitoring area covered by the network through the wireless sensor network, uses the embedded wavelet neural network model to denoise the monitoring data, and finally transmits it to the data processing center, thus establishing a centralized remote real-time Long-span bridge health monitoring system based on the Internet. The experimental results show that the monitoring deformation displacement curve based on the Internet centralized remote real-time long-span bridge health monitoring system technology presents a stable fluctuation state. The cumulative shape variable fluctuates in the range of -5 mm to 5 mm, indicating that the deformation trend of the bridge has always existed.

The research method of this paper mainly adopts the data analysis method of questionnaire survey and statistics. Through the second survey, it is found that all aspects of online physical education teaching have been improved after adopting the improved strategy.
10 Gbit/s optical access network system based on PAM8 modulation
Authors: Chen Zhiyong
Published: November 2022

In terms of high-speed optical access system, an optical access network system with low-cost and low-complexity based on PAM8 modulated signal is proposed to meet the growing demand of optical access network capacity. Based on the system scheme proposed, an experimental simulation platform of 10 Gbit/s PAM8 modulated signal optical access system is built. In this scheme of the system, the intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) is used to achieve the modulation and demodulation of the signal, and the entire optical access link does not use additional signal amplifier components, reducing the complexity and cost of the system. According to the experimental results, the BER of the received signal has slight changes within a certain transmission distance. And after 20 kilometers of transmission, when the BER of the received signal is close to 1e-4, the receiving sensitivity is lower than -12 dBm. The proposed optical access system has good sensitivity and has good application prospects for future broadband access network.

Authors: Hovorushchenko Tetiana , Medzatyi Dmytro , Voichur Yurii , Lebiga Mykyta
Published: November 2022

The paper develops the method for forecasting the level of software quality based on quality attributes. This method differs from the known ones in that it provides forecasting the quality level of future software based on the processing the software quality attributes’ values, which are available in the software requirements specification (SRS). So, the proposed method makes it possible to compare the SRSs, to immediately refuse the realization of a software based on unsuccessful SRS (saving money and time, reducing the probability of failed and challenged projects), and to make a reasonable choice of the specification for the further implementation of a software with the highest quality (of course, if errors will not be introduced at subsequent stages of the software life cycle). During the experiments, 4 SRS were analyzed, which were fulfilled by different IT firms of Khmelnytskyi (Ukraine) for the solution of the same task. Taking into account the forecasted quality level of the future software, which will have developed according to each of the analyzed SRS, a comparison of the 4 analyzed SRS was made, and a reasoned choice of the specification was made for the further realization of the highest quality software.
Multi-modal approach for COVID-19 detection using coughs and self-reported symptoms
Authors: Nguyen-Trong Khanh , Nguyen-Hoang Khoi
Published: November 2022

COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease of 2019) is one of the most challenging healthcare crises of the twenty-first century. The pandemic causes many negative impacts on all aspects of life and livelihoods. Although recent developments of relevant vaccines, such as Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA, AstraZeneca, or Moderna, the emergence of new virus mutations and their fast infection rate yet pose significant threats to public health. In this context, early detection of the disease is an important factor to reduce its effect and quickly control the spread of pandemic. Nevertheless, many countries still rely on methods that are either expensive and time-consuming (i.e., Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) or uncomfortable and difficult for self-testing (i.e., Rapid Antigen Test Nasal). Recently, deep learning methods have been proposed as a potential solution for COVID-19 analysis. However, previous works usually focus on a single symptom, which can omit critical information for disease diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we propose a multi-modal method to detect COVID-19 using cough sounds and self-reported symptoms. The proposed method consists of five neural networks to deal with different input features, including CNN-biLSTM for MFCC features, EfficientNetV2 for Mel spectrogram images, MLP for self-reported symptoms, C-YAMNet for cough detection, and RNNoise for noise-canceling. Experimental results demonstrated that our method outperformed the other state-of-the-art methods with a high AUC, accuracy, and F1-score of 98.6%, 96.9%, and 96.9% on the testing set.

Methods:

We identified consecutive patients with LGMD2G/LGMD-R7-telethonin-related, diagnosed at the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and National University Hospital (NUH) between January 2000 and June 2021.

Results:

At onset, three patients presented with proximal lower limb weakness, one patient presented with Achilles tendon contractures, and one patient presented with delayed gross motor milestones. At last follow up, three patients had a limb girdle pattern of muscle weakness and two had a facioscapular humeral pattern of weakness. Whole body muscle MRI performed for one patient with a facioscapular-humeral pattern of weakness showed a pattern of muscle atrophy similar to facioscapular-humeral dystrophy. One patient had histological features consistent with myofibrillar myopathy; electron microscopy confirmed the disruption of myofibrillar architecture. One patients also had reduced staining to telethonin antibody on immunohistochemistry.

Conclusion:

We report the unique clinical and histological features of a Southeast Asian cohort of five patients with LGMD2G/LGMD-R7-telethonin-related muscular dystrophy and further expand its clinical and histopathological spectrum.

BACKGROUND:

The employment of 3-dimensional (3D) virtual models of the organs and tumors, obtained from conventional 2-dimensional (2D) imaging (i.e. computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging) have already demonstrated an outstanding potential in urology, especially in renal surgery.

OBJECTIVES:

The aim of this systematic review is to provide an updated focus on the results obtained from the preoperative employment of 3D virtual imaging reconstructions in nephron sparing oncological surgery.

METHODS:

A systematic literature search was conducted in April 2022 using Medline (via PubMed), Embase (via Ovid), Scopus, and Web of Science. The search strategy used PICO criteria and article selection was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The risk of bias and the quality of the articles included were assessed. A dedicated data extraction form was used to collect the data of interest.

RESULTS:

The initial electronic search identified 471 papers, of which 13 ultimately met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. 11 studies reported outcomes of virtual models, 2 studies focused on printed 3D models. In these studies, the application of 3D models for preoperative planning has been reported to increase the selective clamping rate and reducing the opening of collecting system, blood loss and loss of renal function.

CONCLUSIONS:

3D virtual models seem to provide some surgical benefits for preoperative planning especially for complex renal masses. In the future the continuous evolution of this technology may further increase its field of application and its potential clinical benefit.

Amazon Neptune is a graph database service that supports two graph models: W3C’s Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Labeled Property Graphs (LPG). Customers choose one or the other model. This choice determines which data modeling features can be used and – perhaps more importantly – which query languages are available. The choice between the two technology stacks is difficult and time consuming. It requires consideration of data modeling aspects, query language features, their adequacy for current and future use cases, as well as developer knowledge. Even in cases where customers evaluate the pros and cons and make a conscious choice that fits their use case, over time we often see requirements from new use cases emerge that could be addressed more easily with a different data model or query language. It is therefore highly desirable that the choice of the query language can be made without consideration of what graph model is chosen and can be easily revised or complemented at a later point. To this end, we advocate and explore the idea of OneGraph (“1G” for short), a single, unified graph data model that embraces both RDF and LPGs. The goal of 1G is to achieve interoperability at both data level, by supporting the co-existence of RDF and LPG in the same database, as well as query level, by enabling queries and updates over the unified data model with a query language of choice. In this paper, we sketch our vision and investigate technical challenges towards a unification of the two graph data models.

BACKGROUND: Noise in work environments is regarded as a serious issue. Hearing loss leads to socio-economic problems and huge costs to families and communities. Agriculture is one of the professions in which individuals face occupational noise. Farmers are the second leading group in suffering from hearing loss in the world. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to predict the hearing protection behavior of farmers by using the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). METHOD: This descriptive study was conducted through a survey. The questionnaire was the main tool for data collection. The population of the study consisted of wheat farmers in Kermanshah province (N = 126,900). By using Krejcie and Morgan’s table and stratified random sampling method, 382 farmers were taken as the research sample. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the experts of this field, and the reliability was proved through a pilot study to calculate Cronbach’s alpha. RESULTS: The findings showed that perceived self-efficacy, perceived response efficacy, perceived vulnerability, and perceived response costs had the strongest effects on farmers’ motivation to protect their hearing, respectively. Furthermore, protection motivation had a significant effect on farmers’ protection behavior. CONCLUSION: Threat and coping appraisals as cognitive mediating processes determined farmers’ behavior for hearing protection. The results illustrated that the components of PMT were appropriate predictors of farmers’ hearing protection behavior.

BACKGROUND: The use of home delivery services has expanded due to coronavirus disease – 2019, and couriers’ high level of work intensity has become a severe social issue in various nations. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by frequent loading and unloading actions, known to be the most demanding tasks for couriers. METHODS: A self-report survey and post-hoc interview were employed to collect personal information, task frequency, and the incidence of MSDs. Frequent actions during loading and unloading packages were identified, and the Rapid Entry Body Assessment (REBA) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equations were assessed. RESULTS: Approximately 29.5% of the 44 subjects suffered from MSDs, and identify the types of actions that frequently occur during loading and unloading packages. According to the REBA survey, 60% of the responses for both loading and unloading are distributed within the risk range of 8–13 points, suggesting a high risk (mean REBA score: 8.8 (loading), 8.5 (unloading)). In every case, NIOSH determined that the lifting index (LI) was harmful (mean LI: 1.62). Thereby, the bending or twisting posture of the hands and neck, long horizontal distance between the packages and the body, and high lifting frequency were identified as major problems. CONCLUSION: The study identified a very high level of musculoskeletal risk for couriers, and the detailed working methods and body parts vulnerable to MSDs.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: Fatigue, as a persistent and serious occupational hazard, plays an important role in traffic accidents by reducing the driver’s ability to maneuver with the vehicle and increasing the likelihood of falling asleep at the wheel. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify the individual contextual factors, sleep condition, lifestyle, job characteristics, environmental, and economic conditions that affect the fatigue and alertness of Iranian suburban bus drivers. METHODS: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was used for this study. Non-probability sampling was used to study 401 suburban bus drivers from Tehran province, Iran, ranging in age from 24 to 67 years. The SPSS22 statistical software V27 was used for the analysis. RESULTS: Approximately half of the participants (50.5%) had experienced fatigue while driving in the previous six months. According to a logistic regression analysis, the contextual factors were all independently related to falling asleep and fatigue while driving. CONCLUSION: This study provides a thorough understanding of the contextual factors related to drowsy driving and emphasizes the importance of taking these things into consideration when developing interventions aimed at improving the driver’s wellbeing and health and lowering the risk of errors and accidents.
