Published: January 2021

Open educational resources (OERs) have become a key element in the development of quality education within the 2030 Agenda. This article discusses the current situation of OER in Spanish universities, analysing their publishing platforms, policies, strategies and incentives for authors. In addition, the characteristics of the existing OERs in institutional repositories are analysed and a proposal for development stages, according to their purpose and level of openness, is presented. This study concludes that, although there is growing interest in OER, there is currently no general awareness of what OER is or what its creation entails. Interdisciplinary cooperation of the professionals involved is, therefore, essential to create OER that can be found, shared and reused.
Srednjovjekovna crkva sv. Martina u Dubravi kod Vrbovca
Authors: Horvat Zorislav
Published: January 2021

U Dubravi kod Vrbovca u srednjem su vijeku postojale dvije crkve: župna crkva sv. Margarete i crkva sv. Martina koja je služila kao župna. Postradale od Osmanlija, obje su crkve obnovljene, no od Sv. Martina preostali su do danas tek zidovi svetišta. Autor je pokušao rekonstruirati tlocrt crkve sv. Martina prema preostalim podatcima na crkvi postupkom srednjovjekovnog načina projektiranja Roritzera, Lachera i drugih. Na svetištu se nazire da je ono izvorno trebalo biti svođeno kasnogotičkim zvjezdastim svodom, ali izvedena je inačica gotičkoga križnog svoda.

Microfilaruria by Dirofilária immitis in a dog in the city of Uberlândia - Minas GeraisAbstract. Heartworm is considered an important public health problem, as its main vector is domestic dogs, there is great proximity of these dogs with their owners, which can generate a possible cross-transmission. Therefore, it is necessary that health professionals are attentive and trained in clinical and laboratory identification, in order not to neglect it. The objective is to describe the case of Dirofilaria immitis in a dog in the city of Uberlândia - MG, where the microfilaria larvae were initially found by a urine examination in the sedimentcopic phase and direct blood microscopy. Laboratory tests performed: complete blood count, thick drop, biochemical, urinalysis. Several changes were present in the urine test, hematuria, pyuria, hyperbilirubinemia, proteinuria, and the presence of microfilaria, other changes such as azotemia, hematological parameters that indicate severe anemia, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and lymphocytosis. There are few case reports in which microfilariae were found in the examination of urine in dogs. This report assists in decision making and more accurate clinical diagnosis and points to previously unknown ways of laboratory investigation.Keywords: Dirofilaria immitis, urinary system, larval cycle, parasitosis, zoonosis

Lithiasis is defined as concretions formed by mineral deposition around a core formed by the organic matrix. They can be located in any region of animals’ urinary tract, causing obstruction or urinary tract infection (UTI). Only ten percent of uroliths can be found in the kidneys, being this an uncommon location. Citrobacter koseri, a microorganism of important isolation in human’s bacteremias, is rarely isolated in dogs. The present report aimed to describe the clinical diagnosis, as a microbiological diagnosis of the infections caused by this microorganism of infrequent occurrence, in an adult animal carrying bilateral nephrolithiasis. The patient described was being treated for chronic kidney disease (CKD) for two months without any improvement of the azotemia state. Through laboratory and image tests there was a diagnosis of urinary tract infection associated with bilateral nephrolithiasis. After UTI’s clinical management there was a patient’s microbiological cure and slight reduction of lithiasis size. The CKD’s control was done due to an animal’s death. The diagnostic evaluations confirm the importance of earlier diagnosis of UTI and lithiasis to prevent irreversible damage to the kidneys and urinary pathways. Citrobacter koseri should be included as an important pathogen in dog’s urinary infections once the urinary tract is the main isolation site and urolithiasis favor the urinary tract’s contamination with possibilities of developing CKD.
Pancreatite canina: O perigo na rotina dos médicos veterinários - Revisão
Authors: De Sousa Felipe
Published: January 2021

Pancreatitis is one of the most common diseases within the veterinary medical routine. It is considered a severe inflammatory disease, of an acute and / or chronic character, and which is still underdiagnosed due to existing impasses in determining the disease. The animals most affected are dogs, middle-aged and elderly and some breeds may be considered more likely to acquire the condition. Affected patients have varied symptoms, depending on the severity of the disease. The diagnosis can be difficult due to pancreatitis allowing numerous similar symptoms with other gastroenteric diseases. The combined use of diagnoses such as laboratory and imaging tests, in addition to the data collected through physical examination and anamnesis, allow for a systemic analysis of the condition and the choice of therapy. Appropriate therapeutic management can reduce morbidity and mortality in pancreatitis.

One of the great problems of shrimp culture is the maximization of crops and with it the emergence of new diseases, in the face of this problem, the aquaculture professionals, are seeking new practices that help in the expansion of the sector and the survival of the animals. In shrimp farming, animals can be submitted to different production systems comprising the various stages, such as single-phase, biphase or multiphase. In the multiphase system, the shrimp are initially stored in high densities, in primary intensive nurseries (BIP) and later in secondary nurseries (BIS), a strategy that strengthens the post-larvae and juveniles for the grow out or final phase. The goal of this work was to compare the effectiveness of shrimp production by evaluating the benefits of the multiphase system in shrimp culture and to discuss its possible advantages, limitations, applications and viability for the small farmer, as well as to the data used in the study came from the shrimp production in the Brazilian Northeast, where the production values of the single-phase system of grow out (direct settlement); and the multiphase system (primary nursery, secondary nursery, grow out) were compared in relation to the final survival of the shrimp. The following treatments were evaluated: Treatment 1 - (T1): Direct settlement in the ponds. Treatment 2 - (T2): Settlement in BIP, transfer to BIS; Treatment 3 - (T3): Settlement in BIP, transfer to BIS, transfer to ponds. The results of survival were: T1: 98%, T2: 45%, T3: 32%. In view of the data, it is possible to identify that the technification of the systems requires more skilled professionals, since three-phase systems present high densities, as well as increases the manipulation of the animals during the initial phases, in addition, these systems present a high cost of production, which hinder the small producer's financial return.

Published: January 2021

Changing the system of family values, views of the society on the significance and functioning of the family institution contribute to the transformation of marital role relationships in modern families. The already formed model of role interaction, the ability of spouses to define and clearly distribute family roles and to treat them responsibly is the important factors in building constructive marital relations and creating a favorable psychological climate in the family. Objective. The research deals with the analysis of the essence of the “family role” concept and the classification of family roles; experimental definition and analysis of the main types of family roles in marital relations. Methods. Theoretical research methods were used to solve the research problem: analysis of scientific psychological literature, generalization method, systematization of scientific information. To solve the second part of the set objective, the empirical research methods were used, such as: conversation, psychodiagnostic method “Distribution of roles in the family” by Yu.Ye. Alioshyna, L.Ya. Hofman, O.M. Dubrovska, and also the method of processing and quantitative and qualitative interpretation of results. The research was conducted during September-October 2020. The study involved 11 married couples (husband and wife) with different marital experience of 22 people aged 25 to 47 years (Kyiv). All the couples have children aged 1 to 20 years. The results of an empirical study of the peculiarities of family roles distribution showed that the roles of entertainment organizer (63.64 %), master (mistress), (72.73 % and 63.64 %), the family subculture organizer (54, 55 % and 45.45 %) women and men share almost equally; the roles of educator and “psychotherapist” is more typical for women (90.91 % and 81.82 %); The role of sexual partner and the partner responsible for material support is more often performed by men (90.91 % and 72.73 %). The prospects for further research are seen in the study of role interaction in the parental families of adolescents and young people as a prerequisite for their future family roles.

Comparison of ploughing vs. ploughless cultivation in terms of energy expenditure and quality
Authors: Szczyglak Piotr
Published: January 2021

The article discusses the basic technologies of soil cultivation and presents the results of analyses of the effectiveness of the product resource base of ploughless cultivation machines manufactured in Poland. The study also describes the design of a prototype MultiCat 6HD aggregated tillage unit, which should be regarded as innovative, and presents the methodology of experimental research focused on the aggregated unit and machines for traditional plough tillage. The experiment determined fuel consumption, effective and operational efficiency, the depth of placing and mixing of crop residues and the indicator of crop residue surface embedding. Based on the conducted analyses, it was found that ploughless cultivation required approx. 30% less expenditure for fuel as compared to the traditional plough tillage. In addition, a more favourable distribution of plant material within the soil profile was found along with almost identical embedding of crop residues, as compared to the plough tillage. It was demonstrated that the application of ploughless cultivation based on the MultiCat 6HD aggregated unit would improve agricultural farm competitiveness.

Published: January 2021

The 21st century was marked not only by the pandemic of the corona virus infection COVID-19, but also by the rapid influx of distance learning aimed to provide uninterrupted acquisition of knowledge and skills. Online learning is being the most discussed issue has positive and negative aspects. Medical education has never been part-time or distance before, because not all professions can be mastered remotely. This article presents the analysis of the experience of teaching internal medicine for the postgraduate students in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. The department staff provides the professional training for intern doctors in the specialty "Internal Medicine", "Emergency Medicine" and for participants of programs of continuing professional development. Distance learning is mainly carried out using the Zoom platform in a synchronous mode. During the presentation of the lecture material, the teachers of the department demonstrate their multimedia presentations and have the opportunity, as in the traditional form of training, to put questions and discuss different relevant issues. When conducting seminars, the course participants or interns make reports, play in business games, do quizzes, watch and comment educational videos. To facilitate independent work, the students themselves create a virtual medical history for each practical lesson. The medical specialty requires direct contact with the patient; no one can master skills practically without practice. When introducing the remote form, a problem arose with the assessment of test tasks and self-study results. Distance learning technologies in medicine have demonstrated quite good results in obtaining theoretical knowledge, but they cannot be separated from real life hospital situations and environment of medical settings. Distance learning techniques can be used as effective tools to diverse the conventional time-proven forms of training medical professionals.
POTENTIALS OF SHORT RECORDING OF HEART RATE VARIABILITY IN DISPLAYING SYSTEMIC INFORMATIONAL ENERGY PROCESSES OF THE HUMAN BODY DURING CLINICAL EXAMINATION OF PATIENTS WITH NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Authors: Nevoit G.V.
Published: January 2021

The article highlights the issues on the improvement of diagnosis and treatment of non-communicable diseases by applying the approaches of systemic medicine and the latest technologies. The aim of the study is to assess the clinical and diagnostic capabilities of a short recording of heart rate variability in displaying systemic informational energy processes of the human body. There has been a necessity to increase the effectiveness of measures for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases in Ukraine through the early diagnosis and the introduction of the latest science-based technologies into medical practice and the development of a scientific concept of magnetoelectrochemical metabolism. An open-label, non-randomized controlled trial was performed. The study of the wave characteristics of the heart rate in functionally healthy respondents of different levels of physical fitness was one of its components. Main group 1 (n=171) and control group 2 (patients with non-communicable diseases and concomitant diseases, n=76) were examined by the method of short recording of heart rate variability using spectral analysis of wave parameters of the heart rate and variation heart rate monitoring. Clinically significant objective signs of changes in the functional state of the patients in group 2 in comparison with the individuals having good functional health status were identified. The significant difference between the indicators of the functional state in the subgroups of the individuals with good functional health has proven the significant clinical sensitivity of the method and the potentials of its applying as an objective tool for structured clinical examination of the health status, as well as for assessment of the therapeutic efficacy in the dynamics of managing patients with non-communicable diseases and determining their prognosis. The method of short recording of heart rate variability can be included into the procedure of objective structured clinical examination of patients with non-communicable diseases.

Authors: Yokoyama Motoki , Kiyoki Yasushi , Mita Tetsuya
Published: January 2021

In recent years, with the development of information technology, many cyber-physical systems, in which real space and the information space are linked for data acquisition and analysis, have been constructed. The purpose of constructing a cyber-physical system is to solve and improve social and environmental problems. An important target is the railway space, which aims to provide safe and stable transportation services as part of the social infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a new data model, the “Context Cube Semantic Network”, for the railway space and a metric method that employs an integrated scale based on heterogeneous correlations of purpose, sensibility, and distance for the railway space. Furthermore, we constructed a station guidance system that implements the proposed method and evaluates subjects at the station. As a result, we clarified the effectiveness and applicability of the system.

Authors: Ahmed Mehnaz , Herrmann Nathan , Chen Jinghan Jenny , Saleem Mahwesh , Oh Paul I. , Andreazza Ana C. , Kiss Alexander , Lanctôt Krista L.
Published: January 2021

Background:

Coronary artery disease (CAD) increases risk for vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia (VCIND), a precursor to dementia, potentially through persistent oxidative stress.

Objective:

This study assessed peripheral glutathione peroxidase activity (GPX), which is protective against oxidative stress, in VCIND versus cognitively normal CAD controls (CN). GPX activity was also evaluated as a biomarker of cognition, particularly verbal memory.

Methods:

120 CAD patients with VCIND (1SD below norms on executive function or verbal memory (VM)) or without (CN) participated in exercise rehabilitation for 24 weeks. Neurocognitive and cardiopulmonary fitness (VO2 peak) assessments and plasma were collected at baseline and 24-weeks.

Results:

GPX was higher in VCIND compared to CN (F1,119 = 3.996, p = 0.048). Higher GPX was associated with poorer baseline VM (β= –0.182, p = 0.048), and longitudinally with VM decline controlling for sex, body mass index, VO2 peak, and education (b[SE] = –0.02[0.01], p = 0.004). Only CN participants showed improved VM performance with increased fitness (b[SE] = 1.30[0.15], p < 0.005).

Conclusion:

GPX was elevated in VCIND consistent with a compensatory response to persistent oxidative stress. Increased GPX predicted poorer cognitive outcomes (verbal memory) in VCIND patients despite improved fitness.

Published: January 2021

Background:

Available evidence on the association of physical activity (PA) or sedentary behavior with cognitive decline is inconclusive.

Objective:

To assess the association between an active lifestyle score and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and changes in cognitive function in the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) prospective cohort.

Methods:

Cognitive function was evaluated in a subsample of 806 participants of the SUN cohort study using the validated Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified (STICS-m) questionnaire at baseline and after 6 years. LTPA was evaluated with a previously validated 17-item self-administered questionnaire and with information on sedentary lifestyles. We also calculated a multidimensional 8-item PA score. Multivariable linear regression analysis evaluated the association between PA and changes in cognitive function and its interaction by APOE genotype.

Results:

Mean age of participants was 66 (SD 5.3) years and 69.7% were male. When stratifying by APOE variants, no significant associations between the active lifestyle score or LTPA and changes in cognitive performance over time were found among APOE ɛ4 carriers. However, we observed that a higher adherence to an active lifestyle (high versus low PA score β= 0.76 95% CI 0.15,1.36; p trend = 0.011) and a high LTPA (Q4 versus Q1 β= 0.63; 95% CI –0.01,1.26; p trend = 0.030) were associated with more favorable changes in cognitive function over time among APOE ɛ4 non-carriers with statistically significant interactions in both cases ( p for interaction = 0.042 for PA score, and p = 0.039 for LTPA).

Conclusion:

The results of the present study suggest that an active lifestyle is associated with a better status of cognitive function over time only among APOE ɛ4 non-carriers.
Gut Inflammation Induced by Dextran Sulfate Sodium Exacerbates Amyloid-β Plaque Deposition in the AppNL–G–F Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Sohrabi Mona , Pecoraro Heidi L. , Combs Colin K.
Published: January 2021

Background:

Although it is known that the brain communicates with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via the well-established gut-brain axis, the influence exerted by chronic intestinal inflammation on brain changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is not fully understood. We hypothesized that increased gut inflammation would alter brain pathology of a mouse model of AD.

Objective:

Determine whether colitis exacerbates AD-related brain changes.

Methods:

To test this idea, 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was dissolved in the drinking water and fed ad libitum to male C57BL/6 wild type and App NL- G- F mice at 6–10 months of age for two cycles of three days each. DSS is a negatively charged sulfated polysaccharide which results in bloody diarrhea and weight loss, changes similar to human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Results:

Both wild type and App NL- G- F mice developed an IBD-like condition. Brain histologic and biochemical assessments demonstrated increased insoluble Aβ1–40/42 levels along with the decreased microglial CD68 immunoreactivity in DSS treated App NL- G- F mice compared to vehicle treated App NL- G- F mice.

Conclusion:

These data demonstrate that intestinal dysfunction is capable of altering plaque deposition and glial immunoreactivity in the brain. This study increases our knowledge of the impact of peripheral inflammation on Aβ deposition via an IBD-like model system.

Published: January 2021

Background:

The classification of patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) into variants is time-consuming, costly, and requires combined expertise by clinical neurologists, neuropsychologists, speech pathologists, and radiologists.

Objective:

The aim of the present study is to determine whether acoustic and linguistic variables provide accurate classification of PPA patients into one of three variants: nonfluent PPA, semantic PPA, and logopenic PPA.

Methods:

In this paper, we present a machine learning model based on deep neural networks (DNN) for the subtyping of patients with PPA into three main variants, using combined acoustic and linguistic information elicited automatically via acoustic and linguistic analysis. The performance of the DNN was compared to the classification accuracy of Random Forests, Support Vector Machines, and Decision Trees, as well as to expert clinicians’ classifications.

Results:

The DNN model outperformed the other machine learning models as well as expert clinicians’ classifications with 80% classification accuracy. Importantly, 90% of patients with nfvPPA and 95% of patients with lvPPA was identified correctly, providing reliable subtyping of these patients into their corresponding PPA variants.

Conclusion:

We show that the combined speech and language markers from connected speech productions can inform variant subtyping in patients with PPA. The end-to-end automated machine learning approach we present can enable clinicians and researchers to provide an easy, quick, and inexpensive classification of patients with PPA.

We explored the impact of the Spanish COVID-19 strict home confinement on mental health and cognition in non-infected subjects (N = 16, 60–80 years) diagnosed with subjective cognitive decline and APOE ɛ3/ ɛ4 carriers. Mental health was monitored for 2 months on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and compared to pre-confinement values. Emotional distress, anxiety, and depression scores increased to pathological threshold values during and after confinement. Those with lower mood during confinement experienced a decline in their mood after confinement. Cognition did not change. These preliminary results suggest that mental health consequences of corona measures in preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease should be further evaluated.
Robust DC optimization and its application in medical image processing
Authors: Li Xufang , Wu Zhong , Zhang Fang , Qu Deqiang
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: Many medical image processing problems can be translated into solving the optimization models. In reality, there are lots of nonconvex optimization problems in medical image processing. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we focus on a special class of robust nonconvex optimization, namely, robust optimization where given the parameters, the objective function can be expressed as the difference of convex functions. METHODS: We present the necessary condition for optimality under general assumptions. To solve this problem, a sequential robust convex optimization algorithm is proposed. RESULTS: We show that the new algorithm is globally convergent to a stationary point of the original problem under the general assumption about the uncertain set. The application of medical image enhancement is conducted and the numerical result shows its efficiency.
Problematic Issues of Protecting Property Rights from Illegal Actions of Public Authorities
Authors: Варава К. І.
Published: January 2021

Property right is one of the key legal institutions of society, and the protection of property right plays an important role in guaranteeing this institution. The issue of protection of property right remains problematic, when there is a conflict of interest between bona fide purchasers and original owners, especially in cases where the original owner is the state or local community, which misused the property and therefore, initiated the process of illegal transfer of the property right. There are serious differences in law-enforcement practice regarding the views on resolving disputes over the recovery of state or municipal property from bona fide purchasers. The most problematic in these cases is the establishment whether the property was taken out of the possession of the owner or the person to whom he transferred the property into possession, not on their will (paragraph 3 of Part 1 of the Art. 388 of the Civil Code of Ukraine). They usually try to prove the illegality of the decision of public authorities or local self-government agency in these cases and that their actions were committed in excess of authority.

The author has studied the problematic issues of deprivation of the property right of a bona fide purchaser due to illegal actions of public authorities in case of concluding agreements on this property. Aspects of proportionality of state intervention into the property right of a person in accordance with the standards of the European Court of Human Rights have been analyzed, taking into account the principle of proper administration. When deciding on the possibility of depriving a person of property due to an error made by a public authority, the following should be taken into account: 1) the position of the ECHR, according to which the need to correct a former “error” should not disproportionately interfere with the new right acquired by a person who expected to rely on the legitimacy of good faith actions of a state agency; 2) the claim may be made within the guarantees provided in the Art. 1 of the Protocol No. 1; 3) violation of the property right, in particular the possibility of claiming the disputed property, which went beyond the will of the owner, according to the provisions of the Art. 388 of the Civil Code of Ukraine; 4) the existence of a direct legislative prohibition on the alienation of the relevant property from state property, when, for example, it is established by the Law of Ukraine; 5) the purpose of interfering in the peaceful possession of a person’s property should be the real protection of the property right, and not the delimitation of powers between public authorities.
Counteracting Mobbing in Labor Legal Relations
Authors: Гончарук В. В.
Published: January 2021

The author has made an attempt to characterize mobbing within labor legal relations. It has been determined that it can be horizontal – when the pressure is exerted by colleagues, vertical – by superiors and can be also mixed one.

It has been emphasized that we should in no case underestimate the negative driving impact of mobbing on the psyche, health or even the fate of an employee, who is exposed to it. Harassment at the workplace can provoke feelings of social inferiority, leads to a number of nervous diseases, nervous breakdowns, sleep problems, depression, heart attacks and possible suicide.

It has been noted that one of the most important current tasks of labor protection at enterprises is to create a proper psychological climate for each employee at his workplace.

It has been offered to consider mobbing as a form of discrimination, which is used as psychological terror by the whole team or its member against an employee. Mobbing is a systematic harassment in the form of devaluation of an employee. The Constitution of Ukraine recognizes the honor and dignity of a man as the main value, but the current Ukrainian legislation does not provide any mechanism to combat mobbing in labor relations.

It has been noted that it is necessary to study and use the experience of European countries to combat mobbing at work in order to improve working conditions, create a comfortable psychological atmosphere, to prevent burnout and to protect the professional dignity of employees. International legislation on the stated issue has been studied. There are no certain Articles in Ukrainian labor legislation, which are supposed to protect employees from mobbing.

It has been noted that mobbing is an extremely dangerous and very complex phenomenon in labor collectives. Therefore, aiming at preventing the development and further spread of mobbing, in order to eradicate it from labor legal relations as an anti-labor category at the present stage of development of society, it is important to introduce legal instruments to combat it.

O Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar (APH) desenvolve um sistema de atendimento às urgências e emergências de caráter privado e público. O Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) é composto por uma equipe multiprofissional integrada, cujas possibilidades de recuperação do paciente estão relacionadas com a rapidez e eficiência dos serviços prestados. O objetivo do estudo foi: verificar na literatura os riscos aos quais os trabalhadores de enfermagem são expostos. Adotou-se a pesquisa documental e revisão bibliográfica, com artigos publicados no período de 2004 a 2014. Através dos resultados obtidos verificou-se que os fatores de riscos ocupacionais estão presentes diariamente nas atividades realizadas pelos profissionais de saúde, cabendo aos gestores e aos profissionais em geral, a realização da avaliação dos riscos de forma a minimizar possíveis impactos sobre a saúde do trabalhador. Os diversos tipos de riscos laborais aos quais estão expostos os profissionais do APH como físicos, químicos, biológicos, ergonômicos e psicossociais, mecânicos e de acidente, predispõem a acidentes e enfermidades ocupacionais, fazendo-se necessário identificar no ambiente de trabalho os riscos existentes, para a prevenção desses agravos. Ações de educação permanente e a promoção da prática de atividade física são algumas das estratégias utilizadas para lidar como os riscos aos quais são expostos. Desta forma, compreender os riscos ocupacionais que podem afetar o trabalhador é de suma importância para promover a prevenção e/ou diminuição dos riscos inseridos no processo e ambiente de trabalho. Sugerem-se políticas de controle e prevenção de riscos ocupacionais voltados especificamente para o bem-estar dos profissionais do SAMU.
