A Virtual Reality Approach for Exploring Spatio-Temporal Urban Data
Authors: Wagner Filho Jorge A. , Nedel Luciana
Published: November 2019

One of the biggest challenges in computing nowadays is to extract relevant information from ever-growing datasets. Applications such as smart cities, transportation planning, control of epidemics, and citizen engagement in public governance can heavily benefit from the analysis of large volumes of urban data. Despite advances in AI and Data Mining, sometimes they are not enough. Data visualization allows us to apply our human visual understanding capabilities and domain knowledge to this process, and to explore the data without necessarily knowing beforehand what information we are looking for. We hypothesize that immersive and stereoscopic Virtual Reality (VR) environments, coupled with natural embodied interaction, will better support the exploration of inherently three-dimensional spatio-temporal data representations. Through the expansion of an immersive technique we have recently proposed, and iterative user evaluations employing real-world datasets, we will investigate this hypothesis and identify the most efficient design choices for interaction and collaboration.
Immersive Brain Puzzle: aplicação de realidade virtual voltada à reabilitação de pacientes pós-AVC
Authors: Araújo Juliana De Fátima Ovídio , Brandão Alexandre Fonseca , Dias Diego Roberto Colombo
Published: November 2019

A aplicação Immersive Brain Puzzle tem o intuito de auxiliar o processo de reabilitação de pacientes de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Geralmente, no início do tratamento, quando o paciente ainda está na unidade de tratamento intensivo (UTI), o processo de reabilitação é muito restrito, visto que o am-biente de uma UTI não é propício para este tipo de atividade. No entanto, estudos apontam que as primeiras horas após um AVC são importantes para o tratamento dos pacientes. Deste modo, essa iniciação científica aborda a proposta e implementação de uma aplicação que permita que o paciente que sofreu um AVC possa iniciar sua atividade de reabilitação mesmo na UTI, por meio de um ambiente imersivo e interativo, que visa estimular o processo motor e cognitivo. A aplicação já foi desenvolvida, de modo que a próxima etapa será a validação, realizada junto ao Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN) - Unicamp.

Augmented reality is a technology that has been growing every day, being used in various fields, such as architecture, games and medicine, and because of this growth, several applications of this resource arise. With this in mind, this project seeks to apply augmented reality in the classroom by the use of smartphones. Our intention is to show that a device that can hinder learning, can also helps a lot when applied in a favorable way to learning. Basically, with an easy-to-use mobile phone application, students will be able to see pictures from their textbook in three dimensions and animated, thus making learning more dynamic and playful. By not modifying the content of the textbook, the application can be used in several schools, requiring the application and the textbook for which it was developed.

Esta modelagem permite a requisição otimizada de ladrilhos de vídeo, considerando a limitação de largura de banda e espaço de armazenamento no lado cliente da aplicação. Neste sentido, este trabalho apresenta uma caracteriz-ção estatística preliminar do tempo de decodificação de segmentos (chunks) de diferentes conteúdos de vídeos 360°, particionados em ladrilhos de diferentes dimensões e codificados com diferentes taxas de bits.
Abrasive Slurry Erosion Behavior of Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber with Different Acrylonitrile Contents
Authors: NIE Rui , WANG Shijie , SONG Shuyuan
Published: November 2019

Nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) with different acrylonitrile contents were eroded by quartz slurry using a self-made erosion testing apparatus to study the erosion wear behavior. Quartz slurry with a concentration of 33 wt.% was used to impact the specimen surface at 45° sample angle. The experimental data, such as erosion rate, hardness and swelling increment were compared and analyzed. The morphologies of worn surfaces were characterized using the field emission scanning electron microscopy to reveal the wear mechanism. The results showed that the acrylonitrile content in the molecular chains had a significant effect on the erosion performance of NBR. Furthermore, a static swelling test was conducted as a contrast experiment to investigate the effect of erosion on the swelling behavior of rubber surface. By comparing the results it could be found that the dynamic swelling increment during the erosion test was almost four or five times larger than that of static swelling. Mechanism of the interaction between swelling and erosion was also discussed.
The Admissibility of Confessions and Real Evidence Obtained in Violation of Human Rights in Criminal Trials in European Countries: Analysing the Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights
Authors: Mujuzi Jamil Ddamulira
Published: November 2019

The right to a fair trial is guaranteed under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In an effort to protect this right, the European Court of Human Rights has, inter alia, set criteria to determine whether or not the admission of a confession in domestic courts violated the right to a fair trial. This jurisprudence also shows that the Court has established two broad guidelines that govern the admissibility of confessions obtained through human rights violations. The first guideline is that confessions obtained in violation of absolute rights and in particular in violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights must be excluded, because their admission will always render the trial unfair. The second guideline is that a confession obtained in violation of a non-absolute right may be admitted without violating the right to a fair trial if the State had a compelling reason or reasons to restrict the right in question. The Court has also dealt with the issue of the admissibility of real evidence obtained through human rights violations. The purpose of this article is to highlight the Court’s jurisprudence.
Oil Prices and Stock Markets in Europe: Detection of Extreme Risk Spillover
Authors: Łęt Blanka
Published: November 2019

The goal of this paper is to check existence of Granger causality in risk between eleven European stock markets and crude oil market. We analyze bidirectional instantaneous and delayed Granger causality in tails test results, i.e. whether occurrence of the extreme returns on the crude oil market precede similar events on the main European stock markets and vice versa. Using Brent futures prices and main stock indices in Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom), we apply testing procedure developed by Candelon and Tokpavi (2016). The main conclusion is that in the vast majority of cases instantaneous causality in tails was symmetrical. We also found that more long-lived reaction appeared as a result to the negative news from the oil market and from the stock markets.

Authors: Lewis Jocelyn
Published: November 2019

New Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know is a compilation of chapters by various authors from technical and digital public services backgrounds edited by Kenneth J. Varnum. A follow up to Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know, also edited by Varnum, the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) has published this second volume to review the predictions from the first, and “take a gaze into 2018’s near-term future with a new set” (xi). Recognizing most libraries have embedded some technologies previously discussed in the earlier volume fully, such as text mining, digital libraries, and cloud-based systems, while others such as virtual reality (VR) are still in the nascent stages, this volume explores how some technologies have changed, as well as investigating new ones being developed and implemented now.
La presencia del emperador Claudio en Hispania = The Presence of Emperor Claudius in Hispania
Authors: Sastre Parpal Nicolás
Published: November 2019

Tenemos varios artículos que nos hablan de la presencia efectiva de Augusto y Tiberio en Hispania. Calígula, Claudio y Nerón por lo que sabemos no estuvieron en la Península Ibérica, si bien su presencia se dio de diversas formas. De Nerón, José Mª. Blázquez realizó un artículo sobre el tema. Aquí desarrollaremos la presencia del emperador Claudio en Hispania basándonos en la estatuaria, en las fundaciones de ciudades que realizó, en la hipótesis de que pudo utilizar la tribu Quirina para las concesiones de ciudadanía, y en su presencia en la epigrafía, que nos revela la estancia efectiva de allegados al emperador y su acto evergético en Castulo. Además, veremos cómo se solucionó la falta de numerario con el fin de las acuñaciones en las cecas hispánicas mediante la acuñación de las denominadas monedas de imitación. Todo ello nos mostrará que, si bien Claudio no estuvo presente físicamente en Hispania, la presencia del emperador queda patente de otras formas.AbstractWe have several articles that tell us about the effective presence of Augustus and Tiberius in Hispania.

In addition, after the end of coinage we will see how the lack of cash was resolved in the Hispanic mints by coining the so-called imitations. All this will show us that, although Claudius was not physically present in Hispania, the presence of the emperor is evident in other ways. Abstract:We have several articles that tell us about the effective presence of Augustus and Tiberius in Hispania.

Acerca de existir y no-existir en la Duat. Inventario para un estudio ontológico de los textos funerarios de las tumbas reales del Valle de los Reyes = About Exist and Non-exist in the Duat. Inventory for an Ontological Study of the Funerary Texts of the Royal Tombs of the Valley of the Kings
Authors: Bonanno Mariano
Published: November 2019

El plan de trabajo del presente estudio pretende abordar cuestiones vinculadas a los dos contextos antagónicos que permean la vinculación entre Ra y Osiris, pero sobre todo el primero, y los habitantes de la Duat; esto es, existir y no-existir como realidades continuadas desde el Más Acá al Más Allá. Asimismo, la capacidad de existir/devenir de aquellos dioses también será cotejada y tenida en cuenta.Serán estudiados los textos funerarios más representativos de lo que llamamos «dialéctica de la regeneración en el Reino Nuevo» –el Libro del Amduat, el Libro de las Cavernas, el Libro de las Puertas y el Libro de la Tierra–, pertenecientes a tumbas reales, y que explícitamente plantean la antinomia existir/no-existir. A tales efectos, nos centraremos por ello en las alusiones que en los textos se traducen como existir-existencia/no existir-inexistencia, -xpr, tmw jw.tjw, n xpr-, entre otros.Es la dialéctica inherente a la Duat la que provoca que, subsumidos en esta ecuación configurativa existencia/inexistencia, asistamos a procesos de segregación, parcialización, incompletud, disolución ontológicas, entre otros, corolarios todos de la dinámica y diversidad de la Duat.Abstract The aim of this study is intended to address issues related to the two antagonistic contexts that permeate the link between Re and Osiris, but especially the first, and the inhabitants of the Duat; that is, existing and non-existing as continued realities from here to the hereafter. Also, the ability of existing / becoming of those gods will be also collated and taken into account. Will be studied the most representative funerary texts of what we call «dialectic of regeneration in the New Kingdom» –the Book of Amduat– the Book of Caverns, the Book of Gates, and the Book of the Earth-, belonging to Royal Tombs, which explicitly raised the discrepancy exist/non-exist. For such purposes, we will focus therefore on allusion that the texts are translated as exist-existence/non exist-inexistence -xpr, jw.tjw, xpr tmw-, among others.It is the dialectic inherent to Duat, which causes that, subsumed in this existence/non-existence configurative equation, we will see processes of segregation, polarization, incompleteness, ontological dissolution, among others, all corollaries of the dynamics and diversity of Duat.
“Ahora piden comida y dinero”: La imagen del prostituto en la cerámica vascular ática del siglo V a.C. = «But Now they Want Food and Money»: The Image of the Male Prostitute in the Attic Vase Painting of the 5th Century B.C.E
Authors: Vendrell Cabanillas David
Published: November 2019

Este artículo trata sobre la imagen del prostituto en la cerámica vascular ática del siglo V a.C. Como motivo iconográfico clave e invariablemente presentado junto a dichos individuos, ofrecedores de efímera belleza y placer, aparece el saco de dinero o la ballantia, cuyo significado económico y sexual es casi indudable. Así pues, se realiza el análisis iconográfico de un conjunto de imágenes en base a una novedosa hipótesis de corte multidisciplinar en la cual prima el contexto sociopolítico de la Atenas clásica y la transformación que padece la institución aristocrática de la paiderasteia en dicho periodo debido a la generalización de la plena ciudadanía llevada cabo por Efialtes y Pericles.Abstract This article is about the image of the male prostitute in attic vase painting of the 5th century B.C.E. The key iconographic motif and invariably presented together with these individuals, who offer ephemeral beauty and pleasure, is the sack of money or ballantia, whose economic and sexual significance is almost certain. Thus, an iconographic analysis of a set of images is carried out on the basis of a novel multidisciplinary hypothesis in which prevails the sociopolitical context of classical Athens and the transformation suffered by the aristocratic institution of the paiderasteia in that period due to the generalization of the full citizenship made by Ephialtes and Pericles.

Mortality After Invasive Second Breast Cancers Following Prior Radiotherapy for DCIS
Authors: Li Puyao C. , Zhang Zilu , Cronin Angel M. , Punglia Rinaa S.
Published: November 2019

Background: Women with a history of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are at increased risk for developing a second breast cancer (SBC). A prior meta-analysis of randomized studies of radiotherapy (RT) for DCIS has shown a trend toward increased breast cancer–specific mortality after SBC, but it did not have the power needed to detect a significant difference, due to a limited number of recurrences. This study sought to evaluate the impact of RT for DCIS on mortality after SBC in a larger cohort. Patients and Methods: Using the SEER database, 3,407 patients were identified who received breast-conserving therapy with or without RT for primary DCIS in 2000 through 2013 and subsequently developed a stage I–III invasive SBC within the same time period. Fine-Gray competing risk models were used to study the association between receipt of RT and mortality after SBC. Results: Prior RT was found to be associated with higher rates of breast cancer–specific mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.70; 95% CI, 1.18–2.45; P=.005), even after controlling for cancer stage. Interaction analysis suggested that this risk trended higher in patients with ipsilateral versus contralateral SBC (HR, 2.07 vs 1.26; P=.16). Furthermore, compared with patients who developed contralateral SBC, those with ipsilateral SBC were younger (P<.001) and more often lacked estrogen receptor expression (P<.001). Conclusions: Patients who previously received RT for DCIS had higher mortality after developing an invasive SBC than those who did not receive RT. This finding may have implications for initial treatment decisions in the management of DCIS.

Published: November 2019

Abstract. Introduction: We present a series of children with lower limb Brodie's abscesses (subacute osteomyelitis) with subsequent deformities.Method: A retrospective examination of the paediatric bone and joint infection database from 2014-2017 was performed. All children have MRI scans and blood tests including full blood count, ESR and CRP. MRI identified collections were drained surgically.Results: There were 68 children with bone and joint infections, and 6 had a Brodie's abscess. 4 Brodie's abscesses were adjacent to a growth plate, all these had resultant growth deformities. Some deformities develop up to 3 years after initial presentation.Discussion: We recommend long-term vigilance for growth deformity after a Brodie's abscess. In particular we demonstrate that infection can result in stimulation of the physis, as opposed to growth retardation as generally accepted.

Exotic and Primitive Lapland—Othering in The Earth Is a Sinful Song (1973)
Authors: Hiltunen Kaisa
Published: November 2019

This article contributes to postcolonial cultural criticism by analyzing how since the 1920s, Lapland and its residents have been portrayed as exotic Others in Finnish feature films that are set in Lapland. The roots of the othering of Lapland go back to the nationalist aspirations of the Finns. The geographical distance of the northern region has bred mental distance, because of which Lapland has remained a source of exoticism for filmmakers, who almost invariably come from the South. Lapland can be seen as Finland’s spatial and cultural Other, an “internal Other” (Jansson 2003). This article asks what kind of strategies of othering are used in Rauni Mollberg’s film The Earth Is a Sinful Song (1973), which is the extreme example of othering among films that are set in Lapland. The film is based on Timo K. Mukka’s novel of the same name and it caused a sensation to contemporary audiences because of its harsh and naturalistic way of depicting life in a poor northern village in the late 1940s. The article analyzes the cinematic techniques and style that are used to represent the characters as primitive, over-sexed and uncivilized. It also places The Earth Is a Sinful Song in a continuum of ‘Lapland films’, showing that othering has taken many forms both before and after it.
Kon Satoshi and Japan’s Monsters in the City
Authors: Perkins Chris
Published: November 2019

This article offers an analysis of Kon Satoshi’s use of monsters in his 2004 animated television series Paranoia Agent (Mōsō Dairinin). Focussing on the bat-wielding figure of Shōnen Batto and a cuddly pink doll called Maromi, it is shown how Kon Satoshi uses these figures to critique a range of fatalistic discourses on Japan’s decline that have emerged since the bursting of Japan’s economic bubble in the early 1990s. I argue Kon repackages the ‘vague sense of anxiety’ prevalent in post-bubble Japan as monster in order to access the psychic realities of Japan, and as a tool for developing a critique of Japan’s fear of and fascination with social monsters. Through analysis of key scenes, the article shows how Kon develops a rich dialectical understanding of Japan’s on-going search for monsters, while also forwarding his own humanist view of social responsibility as method of navigating the ever-changing social environment of late-modern Japan.
Taming the Journal Monster—Building Bibliographical Bridges
Authors: Beyer Christian
Published: November 2019

The idea of rounding up our special issue in this way came to us while harmonizing all the bibliographical entries into one pattern. We have tried as best as we could to double-check each single source. Sometimes, names that we have never heard before appeared over and over again, in multiple contributions. Somewhere on this planet, different scholars had come across the same readings. We simply wanted to underline this complex, interwoven net of border-crossing–border-creating literature. As editors from different fields, we have learned of many intriguing discourses that were unknown to us before. Quite often, shared literature lists make visible certain symptoms of academic echo chambers, copy-paste works, or self-referencing networks. Shared foundational texts serve as sense-making tool kits to the members of so-called ‘fields’, and give a hint at somehow negotiated vocabulary within them. Yet, what we have in front of us is an example of an interdisciplinary collaboration of writers. Since our special issue had an ‘open call’, many of our collaborators do not even know each other personally. Yet, in the end, it was possible to build bibliographical bridges between all of them—every single contribution has at least one theoretical link to another article. This way, it is possible to theoretically unite our work, and consider it as (part of) a whole.

A Meta Bibliography of Some Sort—Bridging MaMo’s BibliographiesIn short, we consider as a bibliographical bridge the shared bibliographical reference to a particular work or to a particular person by at least two of our issue’s authors. If some of our authors refer to ‘writer A’, an imaginary bridge is being created between their contributions—oftentimes unconsciously. These bridges become even more intriguing when noticing that numerous authors independently investigated the identical ‘work B’, without even knowing that another contributor did so as well. Our overview is based on a close examination of all roughly 1000 bibliographical entries in this special issue. It may not be free from errors. For the detailed references, see each contributor’s bibliography individually.
The Effect of Several Factors on Student Pharmacists’ Choice of Drug Information Resources
Authors: Guy Jason W. , Mandler Hilary , Patel Isha , Hvizdos Andrew , Patel Megha
Published: November 2019

Introduction: The provision of drug information (DI) is a fundamental responsibility of pharmacists. The availability of advanced technology and mobile devices has greatly affected how drug information is retrieved.  Utilization of these resources and references are unique skills taught in pharmacy programs to help meet the need of pharmacists in practice and to meet national accreditation standards.  Currently there is little information on how different factors influence pharmacy students’ choice of drug information resources.

Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional survey was developed to assess pharmacy students’ utilization of tertiary DI resources by age, gender, and year in professional program. The survey was developed using the software Qualtrics® and contained questions pertaining to the selection of specific tertiary DI resources used most often for a variety of DI topics. Differences between groups were calculated using ANOVA.

Results: Students in their P4 year utilized tertiary DI resources more frequently than students in their P1 and P2 year (p= <0.001, 0.001 respectively).   There were no differences in the frequency of resource utilization between males and females surveyed (p=0.656, MD = 0.0652). Total usage of DI resources differed by year in professional school.

Conclusion: The results of this study may be beneficial to pharmacy schools as it provides insights into the factors that influence student preference for tertiary drug information resources.  This study found that age, year in school, and type of drug information request impacted students’ use of tertiary DI resources.
A Comparative Study on the Effects of Leachate on Groundwater in Selected Dumpsites in Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: John N. Ugbebor, , Brownson Ntesat,
Published: November 2019

The health and environmental risk associated with unlined open waste dumpsites are worrisome. This study, therefore, evaluated the leachate and its final fate on groundwater pollution at selected solid wastes dumpsites in Rivers State. Leachate samples collected near the dumpsites were analyzed to determine the physical and biochemical characteristics. The two studied dumpsites indicated that the computed TCB were 296.33±6.22 cfu/100 ml and 182.68±21.33 cfu/100 ml respectively which were within the permissible limits of 400cfu/100 ml specified by World Health Organization (WHO) and Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv); which suggest low quantities of disease-causing agents in the groundwater. The total heterotrophic bacteria (THB) were 21x104 cfu/ml and 17x104 cfu/ml. These high values of THB may not be an indication of contamination of groundwater but it indicates a gradual decline in raw water quality. The values of SO42-, PO43-, TDS, DO, BOD and COD at the dumpsites were 196.52±6.26 mg/l and 9.12±0.59 mg/l, 139.23±3.19 mg/l and 3.81±0.68 mg/l, 5952.23±72.52 mg/l and 12663.33±490.95 mg/l;1.51±0.42. mg/l and 2.02±0.16 mg/l; 31.22±4.12 mg/l and 21.33±3.51 mg/l, and313.30±6.57 mg/l and 270.33±26.16 mg/l respectively which exceeded the standards of the WHO and FMEnv. The high values of analyzed parameters were an indication of the groundwater contamination. Heavy metals in the Rumuosi dumpsite indicated 11.31±1.33 mg/l, 11.01±0.67 mg/l, 361.84±12.31 mg/l, 118.03±5.74 mg/l and 84.77±4.84 mg/l for Pb, As, Mn, Fe and Zn respectively. While Heavy metals thresholds at Igwuruta were 0.004±0.005 mg/l, 0.04±0.07 mg/l, 0.05±0.08 mg/l, 0.08±0.14 mg/l and 0.15±0.04 mg/l respectively. Rumuosi thresholds exceeded the standards, indicating that the exposed local people in the nearby communities may experience cases of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risk by drinking the groundwater. The leachate pollution index (LPI) at the studied dumpsites indicated 13.58 and 12.9 which exceeded the internationally accepted benchmark of 7.38; indicating that the Rumuosi leachate was more polluted than Igwuruta leachate. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the pollutant characteristics indicated a significant difference at p=0.05 across the physicochemical and biological indicators at Rumuosi dumpsite over Igwuruta dumpsite. The researcher recommended the practice of sanitary landfill which may reduce the risk of leachate percolation, a primary source of groundwater contamination.

A long term fertilizer experiment was initiated at PJTSAU sub campus, Jagtial, Telangana state, during rainy season of the year 2000-01 in rice-rice continuous cropping system. The experiment was conducted in a fixed plan layout with 11 treatments (and 1 fallow) which included various combinations of inorganic and organic fertilizers and was replicated 4 times under randomized block design. At the initiation of Experiment the soil properties were clay texture with pH 8.22, organic carbon 7.9 g/kg, Available Nitrogen (N) 107.6 kg/ha, Available Phosphorus (P) 19.6 kg/ha and Available Potassium (K) 364 kg/ha. The study was conducted over a period of 17 years comprising of 34 cropping cycles, in rainy season where all treatments received optimum dose (100% NPK), super optimum dose (150% NPK) and integrated treatments (100% NPK + FYM 5 t/ha) (FYM – farm yard manure) gave onpar yields. However in the post rainy season, 150% NPK treatment gave superior yield compared to all treatments except NPK+ FYM 5 t/ha. NPK + FYM 5 t/ha and 150% NPK treatments recorded the most sustainable yield index (SYI) of 0.65 in rainy and post rainy season respectively. Over all mean SYI, was highest for NPK + FYM 5 t/ha and 150% NPK i.e., 0.63 and the least was observed in 100% N alone 0.50. There was an increase in organic carbon, Available N, Available P and Available K in NPK + FYM 5 t/ha and 150% NPK treatments compared with other treatments. Treatment receiving N alone i.e. imbalance nutrient supply retrogress the crop yields and soil productivity in long run.

Aim: This study assesses the effects of HAART on complete blood count parameters among HIV infected participants.

Study Design: Case control study.

Place and Methods: This study was conducted in Tamale, Ghana from August, 2016 to December, 2017.

Methodology: A total of 300 HIV infected participants with ages ranging from 19–79 years, administered with HAART for at least 6 months were recruited. Pre-HAART administration (baseline) demographic and clinical information, with initial full blood count results were retrieved from the medical records of the participants. Post HAART administration blood sample (5mLs) was taken from each participant into an EDTA vacutainer tube and complete blood count (CBC) performed using URIT 5250 haematology analyser. Participants transfused with blood over the last 4 months were excluded from the study.

Results: The study recorded significant decreases in WBC and Neutrophil (%) post HAART administration. Lymphocyte (%), Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, MCV, MCHC, RDW-SD were all significantly higher post HAART administration. Total Platelets count, MPV, PDW-SD, PCT and P-LCR were significantly lower post-HAART administration. A comparison of the effects of EFV and NVP administered with AZT/3TC backbone yielded the following results. The NVP group recorded a significantly higher HCT compared with the EFV group (p-0.0073). A significantly higher mean PCT, MPV, P-LCR, PLCC, PDW-SD were recorded in the EFV group compared to the NVP group respectively.

Conclusion: The administration of HAART is associated with significant improvements in erythroid and lymphoid lineages, reduce anaemia, improves immunity and general patient well-being. NVP improve erythroid cell indices while EFV ameliorate platelet indices. HAART regimen should be chosen based on the pre-HAART laboratory tests conducted on the individual.

Atomoxetine is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is used to treat ADHD syndrome through increasing norepinephrine concentration in the synapses and consequently overstimulation of adrenergic receptors. Though, in recent years several reports have been published on the adverse effects and complications of atomoxetine overuse. As a result, this study is conducted to assess the effects of atomoxetine on different human organs. This is a review article in which 54 relevant papers have been evaluated- these studies were found through searching in valid electronic and library databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Medline, and Embase to assess treatment protocols, effectiveness, and adverse effects of atomoxetine. Clinical and experimental studies have proved the side effects and complications of high-dose atomoxetine on weight loss, urinary system complications, cardiovascular issues, liver disorders, behavioural and nervous system problems. Results of the evaluated studies suggest that many patients arbitrarily use high-dose atomoxetine for long-term which may lead to irreversible problems and complications. Consequently, avoiding high-dose atomoxetine is suggested especially in pregnant women and patients with liver disorders.

Published: November 2019

Water‐promoted palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric ring‐opening (ARO) reaction of oxabenzonorbornadienes with a wide variety of alkoxysilanes has been developed in a one‐pot fashion, yielding cis‐1,2‐dihydronaphthalen‐1‐ols in favourable yields (up to 98%) with gratifying enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) under mild conditions. To the best of our knowledge, it represents the first example in the ring‐opening reactions of oxabicyclic alkenes with alkoxysilanes. Furthermore, the cis‐1,2‐configuration of product was established by X‐ray diffraction analysis, and a possible mechanism for the present catalytic ring‐opening reaction was also proposed.

Published: November 2019

Immunotherapy has shown tremendous promise for improving cancer treatment. Unfortunately, antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) in cancer patients cannot effectively recognize and process tumor antigens to activate host immune responses. In this study, an approach is developed to improve cancer immunotherapy that utilizes endogenous antigen‐carrying nanoparticles (EAC‐NPs), which encompasses a set of antigens isolated from solid tumors and adjuvants. The EAC‐NPs specifically target APCs and subsequently result in enhanced T cell responses and improved antitumor efficacy. Mechanistic studies reveal that the EAC‐NPs enhance and prolong the presence of immune compounds in APCs, which ensure persistent antigen loading and stimulation, induce a rapid proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and significantly increase the ratios of intratumoral CD4+ T/Treg and CD8+ T/Treg. The work using nanotechnology provides a promising strategy in improving antitumor immunity by enhancing the immunogenicity and presentation of tumor self‐antigens for cancer immunotherapy.

Kohlenstoffkorrosion bei hohen anodischen Potentialen bestimmt die Instabilität und die langfristige Funktionalität der Elektroden vor allem in sauren Elektrolyten. Die Untersuchung der Kohlenstoffkorrosion auch in alkalischen Umgebungen mittels differentieller elektrochemischer Massenspektrometrie (DEMS) wird durch die Umwandlung von CO2 in CO32− behindert. Wir berichten über die Anpassung eines DEMS‐Systems zur Online‐CO2‐Detektion als Produkt der Kohlenstoffkorrosion in alkalischen Elektrolyten. Ein neues Zellendesign für die In‐situ‐Ansäuerung setzt zunächst gelöstes CO32− als CO2 vor der DEMS‐Membran frei. DEMS‐Studien an einem kohlenstoffgestützten Nickelborid‐(NixB/C)‐Katalysator und Vulcan XC 72 bei hohen anodischen Potentialen deuten auf einen Schutz des Kohlenstoffs durch hochaktive Elektrokatalysatoren zur Sauerstoffentwicklung hin. Die Kohlenstoffkorrosion in alkalischer Lösung ist reduziert, was neue Aspekte für die Anwendung von Kohlenstoffmaterialien bieten kann.

A simple solvent ligation effect was successfully used to disrupt the growth of a model compound, Fe[(OH)(O3P(CH2)2CO2H)]⋅H2O (MIL‐37), into an extended 2D structure by replacing water with dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent during the synthesis. Owing to the lack of −OH group, which provides the corner‐sharing (binding) oxygen atoms for the octahedra, an amorphous and porous structure is formed. When Fe3+ is partially replaced by Ni2+, the amorphous structure remains and the resultant binary metal catalyst displays excellent photocatalytic oxygen evolution activity with almost 100 % yield achieved under visible light irradiation using [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as the photosensitizer. This study opens up new possibilities of using the simple solvent effect to synthesize high surface area metal phosphonates for catalytic and other applications.
