Authors: Pal Jayanta , Bhowmik Dhrubajyoti , Singh Ayush , Saha Apu , Sen Bibhash
Published: July 2021

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) has emerged as one of the alternative
technologies for current CMOS technology. It has the advantage of computing
at a faster speed, consuming lower power, and work at Nano- Scale. Besides
these advantages, QCA logic is limited to its primitive gates, majority
voter and inverter only, results in limitation of cost-efficient logic
circuit realization. Numerous designs have been proposed to realize various
intricate logic gates in QCA at the penalty of non-uniform clocking and
improper layout. This paper proposes a Composite Gate (CG) in QCA, which
realizes all the essential digital logic gates such as AND, NAND, Inverter,
OR, NOR, and exclusive gates like XOR and XNOR. Reportedly, the proposed
design is the first of its kind to generate all basic logic in a single
unit. The most striking feature of this work is the augmentation of the
underlying clocking circuit with the logic block, making it a more realistic
circuit. The Reliable, Efficient, and Scalable (RES) underlying regular
clocking scheme is utilized to enhance the proposed design?s scalability and
efficiency. The relevance of the proposed design is best cited with coplanar
implementation of 2-input symmetric functions, achieving 33% gain in gate
count and without any garbage output. The evaluation and analysis of
dissipated energy for both the design have been carried out. The end product
is verified using the QCADesigner2.0.3 simulator, and QCAPro is employed for
the study of power dissipation.

Long-term consumption of a high-fat diet increases the circulating concentration of stearic acid (SA), which has a potent toxic effect on β-cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of this action have not been fully elucidated. Here, we evaluated the role of long noncoding (lnc)RNA TCONS_00077866 (lnc866) in SA-induced β-cell inflammation. lnc866 was selected for study because lncRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis demonstrated it to have the largest fold-difference in expression of five lncRNAs that were affected by SA treatment. Knockdown of lnc866 by virus-mediated shRNA expression in mice or by Smart Silencer in mouse pancreatic β-TC6 cells significantly inhibited the SA-induced reduction in insulin secretion and β-cell inflammation. According to lncRNA-miRNAs-mRNA coexpression network analysis and luciferase reporter assays, lnc866 directly bound to miR-297b-5p, thereby preventing it from reducing the expression of its target serum amyloid A3 (SAA3). Furthermore, overexpression of miR-297b-5p or inhibition of SAA3 also had marked protective effects against the deleterious effects of SA in β-TC6 cells and mouse islets. In conclusion, lnc866 silencing ameliorates SA-induced β-cell inflammation by targeting the miR-297b-5p/SAA3 axis. lnc866 inhibition may represent a new strategy to protect β-cells against the effects of SA during the development of type 2 diabetes.
Neighbors Help in a Pandemic
Authors: Boyd Nora , Davis Matthew
Published: July 2021

The degradation of non-market relationships has rendered individuals unnecessarily vulnerable in disasters, including the global pandemic. While local networks of community-based aid that emerge in response to disasters improve the efficacy of response, they tend to be short-lived. This is unfortunate, since the existence and strength of such local networks prior to the onset of disasters not only boosts the efficacy of response but also contributes to the well-being of individuals and communities in non-disaster times. Therefore, individuals ought to establish and strengthen fair-weather local networks of non-market relationships—that is, cultivate neighbor relationships.

Published: July 2021

Research background: The nature of bankruptcy has been the subject of interest for economic theories, both positive?identifying relationships between bankruptcy and other economic categories ? and normative, shaping the rules for the proper regulation of bankruptcy. In turn, the functioning of an enterprise in conditions of risk, financial threat, and finally a crisis that could lead to bankruptcy, are of interest to management. The interpenetration of these two dimensions provided the motivation for this study, which assumes a bottom-up approach: from individual results to summarised multi-sectional comparisons.

Purpose of the article: The purpose of the research was to evaluate the level, directions of change, and structure of the degree of financial threat in industrial enterprises. The period under analysis was 2007?2018 and the whole population of industrial enterprises in Poland (15,999 entities) was examined. The enterprises were small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as large enterprises (LEs). The financial analysis covered macro-, meso-, and microeconomic levels.

Methods: The analysis was conducted using a comparative approach and financial threat predictions obtained from the original multivariable logit model. Heat maps were used to evaluate the intensity of changes in financial threat. The displacement of objects in structures was studied, ordered, and classified. Four normative standards of threat scenarios were defined and then used to evaluate similarities in the profiles of the structures examined, using the similarity measure. The ranking and its variability were analysed in the assessment of profiles.

Findings & value added: As the result of the research, properties were described and profiles were determined for the structures in terms of the degree of threat and its correlation with rate of bankruptcy and creating added value. The originality of the research comes from the use of novel dynamic logit models. The added value is a unique study on the entire population of industrial enterprises in the national economy and a methodology for identifying financial threat profiles and their similarity at subsequent aggregation levels (the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels). This made it possible to derive patterns and regularities for economic policy and guidelines for business management.
The effect of the CEO media coverage on corporate brand equity: evidence from Poland
Authors: Górska Anna , Mazurek Grzegorz
Published: July 2021

Research background: Despite increased attention in the literature to the importance of the CEO?s brand for companies, understanding of the effect of the CEO brand on the corporate brand remains limited. To contribute to this discussion, this paper investigates different facets of the impact of the CEO brand, and particularly its media coverage, on corporate brand equity.

Purpose of the article: This study investigates the relationship between the different aspects of the CEO brand?s media coverage and corporate brand equity.

Methods: Comprehensive media monitoring in the press and online sourcing of CEOs from the strongest Polish brands were conducted. For three years (2014?2017), media monitoring covered 81 CEOs, resulting in over 44,000 data points for this study. Regression analysis was conducted to determine whether a relationship exists between different facets of the CEO?s personal brand and company brand equity.

Findings & value added: This study provides a new perspective on the relationship between the CEO and corporate brands and showcases empirical evidence of the CEO brand?s relationship with corporate brand equity. It introduces two relevant and novel variables (CEO brand reach and CEO brand advertising value equivalent [AVE]) to the literature, which have been limited to the number of mentions and its sentiment. Accordingly, this study contributes to the emerging literature of CEO branding within the branding field. Contrary to expectation, the intensity of media coverage alone was not significant. Results indicate that reach and AVE of CEO media exposure are reflected in the corporate brand equity. The study also finds that negative sentiment toward a CEO?s brand negatively affects corporate brand equity. The study adds to the growing stream of literature on the role of CEO brand.

Understandings the Reading Habit and Reading Attitudes Among Students in Research University Library in Malaysia
Authors: Samsuddin Samsul Farid , Mohd Khalid Yanti Idaya Aspura
Published: July 2021

Reading is one of the activities known to give a lot of benefits to readers. In the context of university students, reading can improve their academic performance. However, literature indicated that students read-only to pass their examination and not for pleasure and acquiring knowledge. The study reported in this paper investigated the reading habit and reading attitudes among students in the research university library in Malaysia. It is believed that positive reading attitudes towards education materials or non-education materials lead to positive reading experiences, which also lead to higher academic performance. A descriptive study used questionnaires as an instrument of a quantitative method. Convenience sampling was employed and 400 respondents from four research university status libraries were selected. Moderate levels of reading attitude were obtained from the result of the study, in which several variables produced a significant relationship in the reading attitude (education background and favorite activities during leisure time). The findings of this study have shown the behavior of academic library users in terms of reading habits, reading attitudes, and selection of reading materials. Several suggestions such as providing a variety of reading material (sense of humor and humanities, public figures and tv personalities) and reading encouragement activities have been suggested. This study provides useful inputs to the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) in constructing effective strategies to cultivate reading habits among reluctant readers in public universities.
The Emergence of Violence and the Terror of Being Born in Murakami’s Coin Locker Babies
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Ilis Florina
Published: July 2021

Modern poetics imposed the image of Nietzsche’s split Subject, with the disaggregated self-emerging as dilemmatic subjectivity and its aesthetic culmination in the “dehumanisation of art.” Nietzsche’s philosophy provided postmodern poetics with the Subject as “fiction,” subjected to a complex process of self-multiplication and self-reflection (Ihab Hassan). The loss of the autonomy of the Subject as a “fashionable theme” (Frederic Jameson), combined with its multiplication into simulacra (Jean Baudrillard) and the abolition of reference, allow the Object to storm the places of its absence. The multiplicitous nature under which the image of subjectivity is formed is a possible solution for the issue of the Subject. Another solution would be inflicting violence upon the Subject, replaced by the corporeality of the Object, by the body, to the point of its destruction, or to the ultimate point of abjectness. My essay will use Murakami Ryū’s novel Coin Locker Babies to examine its author’s views on the Object-Subject relation, on the Subject as an Object (corporeality) and on the forms through which the Object inflicts violence upon the Subject.

Authors: García Mancuso Rocío , Squires Kirsty
Published: July 2021

Los antropólogos biólogos y forenses se han vuelto cada vez más conscientes de los problemas éticos asociados a la investigación y la enseñanza con restos humanos. El proceso de exhumación, el análisis y el almacenamiento de estos restos han sido el foco de atención habitual tanto de profesionales como de los medios de comunicación. Además, debido al surgimiento de nuevas tecnologías y metodologías, en las últimas décadas han aparecido una serie de preocupaciones adicionales. El objetivo de este artículo es destacar los desafíos éticos contemporáneos que enfrentan las ciencias antropológicas y aquellas involucradas con el estudio y tratamiento de restos humanos en todo el mundo. A lo largo de este trabajo se exploran las características de las colecciones esqueléticas identificadas, la creación de instalaciones de tafonomía humana, el aumento del muestreo destructivo (con fines de análisis biomolecular e histológico) y de la toma de imágenes digitales, así como el comercio de restos humanos. Las preocupaciones éticas asociadas con cada uno de estos desafíos se examinan, teniendo en cuenta la historia reciente y la investigación contemporánea, desde una perspectiva global y, en particular, en el contexto argentino. Finalmente, se detallan una serie de recomendaciones con el objetivo de mejorar la conciencia ética y las prácticas en las ciencias antropológicas sobre los puntos planteados a lo largo de este documento.
Estimaciones de la edad, velocidad de locomoción y posible actividad a partir de las huellas humanas del sitio Monte Hermoso 1
Authors: Vassallo Aldo Iván
Published: July 2021

El sitio arqueológico Monte Hermoso 1 (Buenos Aires, Argentina) presenta un registro abundante de pisadas humanas, datadas ~7000 AP, que fueron impresas en el sedimento de una marisma mixohalina. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar estimaciones de edad y velocidad de locomoción correspondientes a 15 rastros de individuos, en base a datos originales de Bayón y Politis (1996). Las estimaciones de edad se realizaron en función de curvas de crecimiento. Las edades estimadas, correspondientes a niños y adolescentes entre 2,5 y 14,5 años, y posiblemente a un individuo juvenil-adulto joven, concuerdan con interpretaciones previas. La velocidad de locomoción fue estimada a partir de la relación empírica entre la velocidad adimensional (número de Froude) y la longitud del paso adimensional. Las velocidades obtenidas son heterogéneas, en el rango entre 3-12 km/h, y se clasifican en: 1) velocidades compatibles con la de caza recolección en niños de edad similar (≤ 3 km/h), 2) velocidades compatibles con la caminata de confort, en el rango entre 3,8 y 4,6 km/h, asociadas a un menor costo energético, quizás de exploración, por parte de niños y adolescentes, del territorio circundante, y 3) velocidades > 5 km/h compatibles con juego, persecución de una pequeña presa o huida. La metodología utilizada en este estudio para la estimación de la velocidad puso en evidencia una diversidad de patrones locomotores en los individuos que dejaron sus rastros en el sitio Monte Hermoso 1, lo cual podría mejorar las inferencias sobre los comportamientos asociados.
Zdrowy nos pacjenta sprzymierzeńcem specjalisty chorób płuc

Nos stanowi początkowy fragment górnego odcinka dróg oddechowych. Jego podstawową funkcją jest pośredniczenie w wymianie gazowej, ale również zabezpieczanie dróg oddechowych przed wpływem zmiennych, zewnętrznych warunków atmosferycznych, substancji fizycznych i chemicznych zawartych we wdychanym powietrzu. Upośledzenie drożności nosa w przebiegu jego schorzeń, takich jak alergiczny nieżyt nosa czy rhinosinusitis, wpływa niekorzystnie na funkcje dolnych dróg oddechowych. Dwadzieścia lat po opublikowaniu pierwszego dokumentu Allergic Rhinitis at its Impact to Asthma (ARIA) idea zjednoczonych dróg oddechowych jest wciąż aktualna. Funkcją (lub dysfunkcją nosa) warto się zainteresować nie tylko u chorych z trudnymi do kontroli objawami schorzeń dolnych dróg oddechowych.

Aim

To evaluated echocardiographic aspects in women with history of preeclampsia or preeclampsia-related complications in their previous pregnancies.

Materials and methods

Consecutive women receiving echocardiography during daily clinical echolab activity were studied using complete echocardiographic examination data and anamnestic data collection of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and rheumatic diseases. Studied women should have at least one pregnancy in more than the 10 past years, and were subdivided into two groups according to the history of complicated or physiological pregnancy. Complicated pregnancies were defined by preeclampsia or preeclampsia-related complication, such as preterm delivery or small-for-gestational age newborn. Echocardiographic parameters and prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and rheumatic disease were compared between the two groups of studied women.

Results

From March 2016 to May 2020, 545 women were studied, of whom 218 had a history of complicated pregnancy (mean age 60.81 ± 11.109 years vs. 62.78 ± 9.758 years of not complicated pregnancy; P = 0.03). Compared with physiological pregnancy women, complicated pregnancy ones were shorter (159.97 ± 6.608 vs. 161.42 ± 6.427 cm; P = 0.012) with lower body surface area (1.678 ± 0.1937 vs. 1.715 ± 0.1662 m2; P = 0.02), had higher prevalence of diabetes (6.9 vs. 3.1%; P = 0.04; odds ratio = 2.34; CI 1.0323--5.3148) and rheumatic diseases (33 vs. 22.3%; P = 0.006; odds ratio = 1.72; CI 1.1688--2.5191), and showed a slight, not significant higher prevalence of hypertension. As for echocardiographic parameters, they showed significantly higher values of end-diastolic left ventricular posterior wall (LPWd) (P = 0.034), a trend toward a more concentric geometry, and a worse longitudinal systolic left and right ventricle performance, represented by lower tissue Doppler systolic waves (septal: 7.41 ± 1.255 vs. 7.69 ± 1.376 cm/s; P = 0.018; and tricuspidalic: 12.64 ± 2.377 vs. 13.32 ± 2.548 cm/s; P = 0.003).

Conclusion

Patients with previous preeclampsia present an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, and rheumatic diseases, suggesting that these women could share a specific predisposition to a high-risk profile. Furthermore, they show a higher prevalence of classically considered echocardiographic hypertensive-derived cardiac damage, suggesting structural and functional left ventricular modifications as subclinical aspects of long-term worse cardiovascular prognosis for these women.

In the current era of globalization, transportation is a fundamental need for all human, to carry out daily displacement activities. The journey to the airport is one of the activities that occur every day but the heavy traffic in Jakarta, makes people leave early so that the airport train is presented by PT. Railink. But, during COVID-19 pandemic, all transportation experience restrictions to reduce the number positive of COVID-19, restrictions by limiting the number of passengers in all transportation so the risk of it’s spread can be minimized. This affects community activities because all transportation implements health protocols so that community is difficult doing activities. This research was conducted to determine the behavior of airport train passengers towards health protocols implemented by the government, whether they are aware of the dangers of COVID-19 so they realize the importance of implementing health protocols outdoors. The data for research was obtained through questionnaire, then processed using normative and descriptive analysis methods. The results of this study concluded that the awareness of each passenger and officer at the station or train is the most important thing to remind each other in implementing health protocols and obeying to the regulation recommended by the government. ABSTRAKPada era globalisasi seperti saat ini, transportasi merupakan kebutuhan yang mendasar bagi semua manusia, guna melakukan suatu kegiatan perpindahan sehari-hari.

In this modern world of construction, the usage of cold formed steel has developed and started to widely used for main structures such as columns and beams. Cold formed steel is manufactured by folding a thin steel plate into desired model. This result in its relatively large width-to-thickness ratio. Therefore, the use of cold formed steel as a column to withstand compressive axial force is deemed ineffective because of its vulnerability to buckling failure. One of the ways to overcome buckling failure is to use built-up profile. The profiles in which are examined are R and 2R with the effective length of 2950mm and variated between fixed-fixed roller end and pinned-roller end. Whereas R profile is the combination of C and U channel. MIDAS FEA is a finite element-based software which is used to model the desired structures in this study. The results of the study showed calculations using MIDAS FEA are closer to the theoretical calculations of AISI S100-07 on the fixed-fixed roller end. The 2R profile provided 250% greater compressive strength value compared to the R profile. The fixed-fixed roller end resulted in 147% higher compressive strength compared to the pinned-roller end. The results using MIDAS FEA resulted in closer results to AISI S100-07.ABSTRAKPada dunia konstruksi modern penggunaan baja canai dingin sudah berkembang dan penggunaannya mulai banyak digunakan untuk struktur utama seperti kolom dan balok.

ANALISIS DERAJAT KONSOLIDASI BERDASARKAN HASIL PEMBACAAN PIEZOMETER PADA PROYEK TOL TRANS SUMATERA
Authors: Sinulingga Aditya Christiandi , Suhendra Andryan
Published: July 2021

The development of toll road or expressway infrastructure in Indonesia is urgently needed because it can reduce inefficiencies due to congestion on main sections, as well as to improve the process of distribution of goods and services, especially in areas with high levels of development. Transportation infrastructure development on soft soils often experiences consolidation decline problems. Soft soil has a high moisture content and low bearing capacity. If the soft soil is saturated with water, it means that the water cannot be fully dissipated, causing the soil to take a long time to consolidate. If the construction work does not begin with land improvement, the construction has the potential to suffer damage before the planned age. To anticipate this, an alternative that can be done is to repair the soil with prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) and vacuum preloading. This study aims to determine the degree of consolidation based on the piezometer reading and to make initial predictions. As for the results of this study there is a difference of 5.79% in the degree of assessment from the results of theoretical calculations with the piezometer reading.Pembangunan infrastruktur jalan tol atau jalan bebas hambatan di Indonesia sangat dibutuhkan karena dapat mengurangi inefisiensi akibat kemacetan pada ruas utama, serta untuk meningkatkan proses distribusi barang dan jasa terutama di wilayah yang sudah tinggi tingkat perkembangannya. Pembangunan infrastruktur transportasi pada tanah lunak sering mengalami masalah penurunan konsolidasi. Tanah lunak memiliki kadar air yang tinggi dan daya dukung yang rendah. Jika tanah lunak jenuh air mengakibatkan air tidak dapat terdispasi secara penuh menyebabkan tanah membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk terkonsolidasi. Apabila pekerjaan konstruksi tidak diawali dengan perbaikan tanah maka konstruksi tersebut berpotensi mengalami kerusakan sebelum umur yang telah direncanakan. Untuk mengantisipasi hal tersebut alternatif yang dapat dilakukan adalah melakukan perbaikan tanah dengan prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) dan vacuum preloading. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besar derajat konsolidasi berdasarkan pembacaan piezometer serta melakukan prediksi awal. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini terdapat perbedaan 5,79% derajat konsolidasi dari hasil perhitungan teoritis dengan pembacaan piezometer.
Minnesota Policy on Pharmacist-Prescribed Contraceptives: Benefits, Limitations, and Opportunities for Improvement
Authors: Facciolo Federico , Farley Joel
Published: July 2021

In August 2020, pharmacists were authorized to prescribe contraceptives in Minnesota outside of a collaborative practice agreement. To practice under this new authorization, pharmacists must complete formal contraceptive prescribing training and follow guidelines which include restrictions on patient’s age and appropriate screening and assessment requirements. Allowing pharmacists to prescribe contraceptives has the potential to extend contraceptive access, decrease overall health care costs, and improve outcomes. However, barriers to the expansion of contraceptive prescribing by pharmacists may prevent widespread adoption of this practice in Minnesota. A key concern among pharmacists is a lack of reimbursement for providing this service.  Other states adopting contraceptive prescribing by pharmacists which have not paid for this service have reported limited implementation and discontinuation of this service. To improve contraceptive access to Minnesotans, policymakers should consider expanding provider status to pharmacists and providing reimbursement to pharmacists for contraceptive services.
Problems Students Face in Translating Discourse Markers from English into Kurdish

This paper investigates the problems are found in the translation of discourse markers from English into Kurdish. One of the main problems that discourse markers cause for translators is that discourse markers may have various possible translation choices. Moreover, a discourse marker has many functions, i.e. it may have more than one function. It can be thus used to show a variety of relations between several written discourse parts. Accordingly, a translator has to decide the function that a discourse marker has in a definite context to give the correct translation. In this paper Fraser's Model of discourse markers analysis (1999) has been chosen for investigating discourse markers. As for the data analysis, four students of the Department of Translation at the University of Duhok have been chosen to translate the same text from English into Kurdish to show the difficulties in choosing the correct discourse markers in these four different translations. The results showed that there are no equivalents in choosing the correct discourse markers when translating them into Kurdish.
Radioprotection by curcumin: A mini review
Authors: Sruthi P , Naidu M M
Published: July 2021

Ionizing radiations are detrimental to the biological system. Exposure to ionizing radiations results in many chronic diseases including cancer. It may cause dysfunctions to almost all organs of the body depending on the total dose, duration and site of irradiation. Apart from its bad effect, radiotherapy is now extensively used for the treatment of several kinds of cancers. Still, the key disadvantage in the procedure is that normal cell, in the surrounding area of the tumor, also receiving radiation doses similar to the tumor, leads to undesirable side effects and risk to patients. Curcumin has been found to protect harmful effects of ionizing radiation. So, it can be beneficial during radiotherapy of cancer. Curcumin helps to kill tumor cells effectively by enhancing the effect of radiation. It also protects normal cells against the harmful effects of radiation. Pre clinical studies are expected to lead to clinical trials to prove the potential of this age-old golden spice for treating cancer patients. This review summarizes the protective effect of curcumin against harmful radiations.
DO CORPO AO CORPO: DESIGN DE MODA E MOULAGE DIALÓGICA
Authors: Krebs Raul , Bentz Ione
Published: July 2021

Este artigo investiga a centralidade do corpo humano nos processos criativos em moda. A partir dos questionamentos sobre como o corpo humano e sua imagem se materializam na cultura contemporânea, procuramos compreender como os designers de moda podem potencializar seus processos criativos. Orientado pela metodologia do design estratégico, de caráter transdisciplinar e dialógico, este artigo inicia na investigação acerca do corpo – físico e discursivo – e culmina em propostas de ressignificação do corpo e da moulage clássica (processo criativo de moldagem de tecidos diretamente no corpo ou simulacro de corpo). Entendemos o corpo como o ponto de partida e chegada para o design de moda, o espaço onde as metáforas discursivas têm lugar. Entretanto observamos que este corpo é tratado como um corpo mínimo em sua forma física, seus discursos praticamente inexistem como embasamento criativo e que este corpo responde basicamente às demandas da indústria da moda. Para tanto, investigamos outras questões relativas ao corpo e moda, tais como metamorfoses do corpo, significantes flutuantes, corpo transdutor de signos, géstica e processos criativos no design de moda. Compreendemos o corpo como um significante flutuante – algo que possui significado, embora inexato, já que comporta inúmeras interpretações, sem deixar de ser um potente significante. Propomos a ideia de “policorpo” – um corpo polissêmico, polimórfico, metafórico e mutante – e um aprofundamento de investigação sobre a moulage clássica, ao incluir questões simbólicas e discursivas no processo criativo – aqui intitulado de Moulage Dialógica. Acreditamos que os “policorpos” e a Moulage Dialógica podem ajudar a ampliar o espectro criativo dos designers de moda, especialmente pelo questionamento da ideia vigente de corpo da moda e, assim, dar conta de uma questão, com a qual nos defrontamos ao longo da pesquisa: como vestir os corpos consumidores de moda sem considerá-los somente a partir da ideia de um corpo alto, esbelto, esguio e magro.

To study on influences of organic selenium on laying performance, Se absorption and utilization, immunity and antioxidant activity, 400（laying rates 85%）hens during the period of 43-week were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 homogeneous treatments： (control treatment，no added Se feed; Na selenite, 0.3 mg Se/kg; yeast selenium, 0.3 mg Se/kg and DL-methionine selenium 0.3 mg Se/kg). Every treatment had 10 replicates, every replicate had 5 hencoops and every hencoop had 2 hens. We hypothesized that organic selenium was better than inorganic selenium, and DL-selenium had advantages over them of yeast selenium in some ways for laying hens. The experiment lasted for 77 d, with the first 7 d for adaptation. Egg production, laying rates and dry matter intake were recorded every day. And Se contents of serum, whole eggs, heart and liver, blood antioxidant and immunity index were analyzed in the 78th d of the study. The results showed Se sources had no significant effects on laying performance and eggs qualities （ P ＞ 0.05 ）, except for the groups of organic selenium increased egg mass or had trends of increasing laying rates compared with the groups of control and inorganic selenium in the tenth week significantly respectively（P﹤0.05 or P=0.07, P=0.06 and P=0.08）. The groups of organic selenium had increased the contents of Se in serum, whole eggs, heart and liver very significantly（P﹤0.01）；and increased glutathione peroxidase activity and antioxidant capacity significantly（P﹤0.05）. At same time, the groups of organic selenium had increased significantly or had trends to increase the immunoglobulin G in serum（P ﹤0.05 or P=0.05）. In a word, adding organic selenium in diets could improve laying performance, strengthen Se absorption and utilizations, antioxidant capacity and immunity of laying hens to the extent in a longer experiment. And the effects of DL-selenium had advantages over them of yeast selenium in some ways. It implicated that DL-selenium was benefited to production of laying hens and selenium-enriched eggs. Key words： Selenium；Laying performance; Absorption and utilization；Antioxidant activity; Immunity Summary text: Selenium is an essential mineral not only for animal nutrition, but also for humans’ nutrition. Organic selenium had more advantages in improvement of laying performance, Se absorption and utilizations, antioxidant capacity and immunity of laying hens. Especially, DL-selenium was a valuable product, which was benefits to improve production of laying hens and develop functional food, selenium-enriched eggs.

The novel coronavirus disease that initially appeared in 2019, commonly identified as COVID-19 is an acute infectious disease precipitated by the SARSCoV- 2 and has become a severe pandemic health crisis. People stricken with a severe case of COVID-19 are subject to a relatively higher mortality rate, which is brought about predominantly by the difficulty of having potent and specific antiviral drugs for its treatment. In this context, the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is an attractive target for antiviral inhibitors, mainly because of its essential role in processing the polyproteins translated from viral RNA. Moreover, histone deacetylases inhibitors represent one of the most promising antiviral agents. Therefore, in this contribution, the in silico structure-based drug design approach was employed to identify novel structural characteristics for the potential repurposed activity of HDACIs as antivirals against COVID-19. Herein, 12 HDAC inhibitors were screened to explore their potential anti-viral activity against RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (6NUR). Results revealed that large number of the screened HDAC inhibitors are strongly bound into the active binding site of crystallographic structure of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (6NUR) with lowest CDOCKER energy and CDOCKER interaction energy are very close to those of the control drug remdesivir. Importantly, the virtually screened HDAC inhibitors, particularly, Givinostat, Pracinostat, Panobinostat, Romidepsin (FK228) and its active metabolite (RedF) could be promising candidates for COVID-19 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitors. Significantly, these inhibitors should be evaluated on their effectivity when treating COVID-19, specifically using the drugs that have been approved for clinical trials with limited toxicity.
