Quality Management System of Higher Education: Structural and Functional Analysis
Authors: HRABOVENKO Natalia
Published: April 2021

The article defines the essence of the quality management system of higher education, in particular the structure and functions. The author notes that it is the system of higher education that shapes human potential. It is determined that the development of the higher education system and improving its quality is a priority, a strategic goal of each state, as this development is associated with the development of the economy and society as a whole. It is proved that the modernization of the education system is aimed at ensuring its quality in accordance with the latest advances in science, culture and social practice. The quality of education is a national priority and a prerequisite for the national security of the state, compliance with international norms and requirements of the legislation of Ukraine on the implementation of the right of citizens to education. In addition, it is explained that the number of requirements for higher education is growing every year, which leads to the need to create and implement a quality management system that is compatible with the existing ISO standard for free economic zones. The components of the quality assurance system of higher education according to this standard are given and the procedures that are implemented to improve it are indicated. It is noted that the state standard of higher education determines the list of qualifications of the relevant educational and qualification levels, the list of areas and specialties for which specialists are trained in the free educational and qualification levels, as well as requirements for educational levels of higher education. Seven principles of implementation of the Bologna system in Ukraine are given, and it is proved that the means of ensuring the quality of higher education are enshrined in the Bologna Declaration. It is determined that in order to control and improve affairs in the field of higher education, a state body was established — the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, whose goals are to guarantee the quality of services, recognize the quality of scientific results, ensure systemic impact. It is emphasized that quality education should be seen by the state and society as an instrument of social, cultural harmony and economic growth to build a competitive and strong state, and therefore the quality of higher education should be the subject of constant attention of researchers and reformers.

Authors: OREL Maria , KLOCHKO Оlexiy
Published: April 2021

The state of cooperation between Ukraine and NATO and the participation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Alliance projects and initiatives are analyzed. It is noted that participation in the Concept of Operational Capabilities allows to participate in exercises and operations under the auspices of NATO, to be involved in operational duty as part of multinational military formations of high readiness; Participation in NATO Air Information Exchange Program contributes to the coordination of the fight against air terrorism. It is determined that the main tasks in the process of reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to NATO standards are their standardization to the NATO Armed Forces and increasing the efficiency of the country’s defence sphere. The implementation of NATO standards involves the development of relevant legislation and regulations, their enactment in the prescribed manner and its application in day-to-day operations. In the process of reforming the security and defence sector, a number of measures have already been taken to reorganize the military administration, but the reform process is ongoing. The «STANAG» standard needs to be tested, which requires a comprehensive review of the entire infrastructure and functioning of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is noted that cooperation with NATO in the context of security and defence sector reform is to promote the transformation and development of Ukraine’s security and defence sector. NATO member states continue to provide strategic advice to the Ukrainian side on institutional development reform. Within the framework of cooperation, a special training mechanism was launched with the involvement of foreign instructors in the form of a combat training center for units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard on the basis of the Yavoriv test site. The «Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine» was introduced to increase Ukraine’s capacity in the process of reforming the security and defence sector, which contains 13 areas.
Administrative-Territorial Structure of Khmelnytskyi Region according to Administrative-Territorial Reform in Ukraine in 2020
Authors: SAVITSKYI Volodymyr
Published: April 2021

The philosophical basis of this research is the author’s perception of the state as a holistic social phenomenon in its systemic relationships. Considering the dimensional component of the state’s category, which is its territory, as one of mandatory sign of the state, the author considers the administrative-territorial structure as an external expression of the territorial organization of power. Substantiating the relevance of research, the author emphasizes that it takes place in real time during the election process and a short post-election period on the basis of the new administrative-territorial structure, which in itself proves the relevance of this work. In the absence of such scientific works to reflect the current realization of reform of the territorial organization of power, the author determines the purpose of the research as the need to obtain holistic and systematized initial information regarding reformed administrative-territorial structure and local government of Khmelnytskyi region. Reforming administrative-territorial structure of the region is considered in close connection with the administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine as a whole. The research is based on the norms of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, acts of the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers, and the Central Election Commission of Ukraine. Such data are analytically generalized: created and liquidated regions; formed territorial communities with the determined administrative centres and the disbanded territorial communities; the affiliation of the disbanded territorial communities to the formed territorial communities with the determination of the districts and cities, to which the disbanded communities according to the old administrative system belonged; number of regional councils at all levels in 2020 and number and status of councils elected in 2020; number of deputies elected in 2020 to regional councils at all levels; composition of city, town and village mayors elected for the first time, re-elected, number of men and women elected to these positions. The article is illustrated by the administrative map of Khmelnytskyi region according to the new administrative-territorial structure and seven tables that benefit better perception of its content.

Aerosol Jet Direct Writing Polymer-Thick-Film Resistors for Printed Electronics
Authors: Feng James , Loveland Anthony , Renn Michael
Published: April 2021

To improve performance and reduce size of printed-circuit board (PCB) in electronics industry, embedding discrete components within a board substrate has been an effective approach by reducing solder joints and their associated impedance mismatching, inductive reactance, etc.  With its unique capabilities for non-contact precision material deposition, the Aerosol Jet® direct-write technology has been enabling additive manufacturing of fine-feature electronics conformally onto flexible substrates of complicated shapes.  The CAD/CAM controlled relative motions between substrate and print head allows convenient adjustment of the pattern and pile height of deposited material at a given ink volumetric deposition rate.  To date in the printed electronics industry, additively printing embedded polymer-thick-film (PTF) resistors has mostly been done with screen printing using carbon-based paste inks.  Here we demonstrate results of Aerosol Jet® printed PTF resistors of resistance values ranging from ~50 W to > 1 kW, adjustable (among several variable parameters) by the number of stacked layers (or print passes with each pass depositing a fixed amount of ink) between contact pads of around 1 mm apart with footprint line typically < 0.3 mm. In principle, any ink material that can be atomized into fine droplets of 1 to 5 microns can be printed with the Aerosol Jet® system.  However, the print quality such as line edge cleanliness can significantly influenced by ink rheology which involves solvent volatility, solids loading, and so on.  Our atomizable carbon ink was made by simply diluting a screen printing paste with a compatible solvent of reasonable volatility, which can be cured at temperatures below 200 oC. We show that Aerosol Jet® printed overlapping lines can be stacked to large pile height (to reduce the resistance value) without significant increase of line width, which enables fabricating embedded resistors with adjustable resistance values in a limited footprint space.

The Ecological Niche of Pistacia Vera L. (Anacardiaceae) in Central Asia: A Comprehensive Tool for Agromeliorative Planning
Authors: Malakhov Dmitry , Islamgulova Anastasia
Published: April 2021

A model of the ecological niche of the nut fruit Pistacia vera has been developed based on known locations in Central Asia and an analysis of abiotic environmental variables in order to map out the area of optimal conditions for both the wild and domesticated forms. The model reveals a much larger area of suitability for the species than it presently occupies. The list of key variables and their optimal ranges are compared with the known values of those which have been gathered from experiments on the ground and which are described in the available literature. Most of the optimal values modeled for the key variables appear to resemble the known experimental ranges. The meaning and impact of most of the key variables in relation to the species’ life cycle are found in the physiological and ecological peculiarities of P. vera’s development at different stages as described in the literature. Unexplained variables may imply a gap in our knowledge of the pistachio and its interrelations with the environment; and point the direction of further study of the biology of the pistachio. The value of the model is the potential application of the results along with existing practical recommendations regarding pistachio cultivation in order to establish guidelines regarding the conservation and commercial cultivation of P. vera in Kazakhstan.

A single well-preserved theropod trackway identified as Eubrontes was discovered in the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian-Valanginian) Cangxi Formation on the northern margin of the Sichuan Basin This is the first report of tracks from this formation. The occurrence is consistent with reports of theropod dominated ichnofaunas from broadly coeval deposits such as the Feitianshan Formation in southern parts of the basin. There is growing evidence that Eubrontes and Eubrontes-like tracks are common in the Lower Cretaceous of Sichuan Province.
A Location-Based Device Tree System for Rail Transit
Authors: Shuyue Li
Published: April 2021

As the Vehicle Branch of Shanghai Metro Maintenance Guarantee Co., Ltd. is making continued progress in refined management, it requires increasing fine data granularity, together with increasing needs for data analysis. Therefore, the existing serial-number-based device trees can no longer meet continuous increasing management requirements, which necessitates a new device tree system. This paper has proposed a new device tree system for rail transit. Based on the physical locations of rail transit devices, the system proposed can associate the location information with property information, equipment serial number, and fault trees. Hence a subway vehicle and fault management system based on device trees was established. Based on the actual situation and management requirements of the Vehicle Branch, this paper has developed a location-based device tree management system and coding scheme, and introduced its advantages in management.

Um estudo sobre a evolução cronológica e intervenções realizadas no convento de Igarassu
Authors: Guzzo Ana Maria Moraes
Published: April 2021

Este artigo trata das intervenções no Convento Franciscano de Santo Antônio localizado em Igarassu, no estado de Pernambuco (Brasil). Tais intervenções ocorreram a partir de seu tombamento, em 1938, pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), criado em 1937. Seu objetivo é caracterizar a evolução arquitetônica do Convento de uma maneira análoga a um prontuário médico, além de, analisar as intervenções documentadas sob a ótica das teorias da restauração, contextualizadas à época de suas execuções. A pesquisa se baseou na revisão bibliográfica de autores consagrados da teoria da restauração e em documentação textual e iconográfica disponíveis nos arquivos do IPHAN do Rio de Janeiro e de Pernambuco que, contudo, carecem de registros atualizados sobre os monumentos inscritos na lista de nosso patrimônio. O estudo foi complementado com informações obtidas em visitas a campo. Dessa forma se elaborou um breve histórico crítico sobre a “vida” desse convento, que auxiliou na construção da trajetória do bem em questão.

Authors: Samora Patrícia , Diana Luana
Published: April 2021

Este artigo discute as dezessete propostas premiadas no Concurso Renova SP (2011). Tendo em vista a complexidade do tema do concurso, a urbanização de Perímetros de Ação Integrada em áreas com assentamentos precários, o presente trabalho reconheceu e sistematizou as diretrizes do concurso e as soluções premiadas, enfocando os temas das soluções para a habitação e o meio ambiente urbano. A análise das soluções habitacionais considerou aquelas relativas ao o espaço habitado, composto pelas moradias autoconstruídas pelos moradores e pelos novos conjuntos habitacionais destinados à população removida pelas obras. As soluções para o meio ambiente urbano são aquelas que impactam a morfologia preexistente, com foco em macrodrenagem, manejo das águas urbanas e desenho para as áreas de preservação permanente ocupadas por moradias em risco. O referencial teórico sobre estes temas foi utilizado para a análise tanto das diretrizes do concurso, formulada pelos organizadores, quanto dos projetos premiados. Os resultados contribuem para compreender a visão contemporânea quanto aos problemas habitacionais e ambientais presentes nos assentamentos precários e o papel da Arquitetura e Urbanismo como campo de ensaios, tendo por paradigma a sustentabilidade urbana e justiça social na integração das favelas à cidade.
Projetos em waterfronts na era do empresariamento urbano: o caso do Porto Maravilha e da gentrificação da zona portuária carioca
Authors: Oliveira Arthur
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir as relações entre o conceito de empresariamento e os projetos que se propõem a renovar as frentes d’água das cidades contemporâneas. Divide-se o texto em duas partes centrais: (1) enfoca as transformações procedentes da reestruturação capitalista e os vínculos desse processo com a origem, o conceito e a evolução histórica de projetos urbanos em waterfronts; e (2) analisa o caso do projeto Porto Maravilha, discutindo suas relações com a exposição teórica, mas focalizando os reflexos de gentrificação sobre a zona portuária carioca. Essa investigação apontou, sobretudo, que os resultados almejados pela intervenção urbana não alcançaram fins socialmente congruentes, tornando as populações vulnerabilizadas desse território, direta ou indiretamente, as mais afetadas pelo projeto. A experiência carioca serve, deste modo, para apontar elementos cruciais que devem ser analisados em intervenções desse porte nas cidades, destacando, fundamentalmente, a inserção social e urbana de populações preexistentes.

Authors: De Lima Rodrigues Rodrigo Augusto , Chaves Celma
Published: April 2021

A produção de casas modernas iniciada por engenheiros na cidade de Belém atraiu a elite de comerciantes e profissionais liberais em ascensão econômica, mas também a classe média. A casa se tornou a represen- tação e a legitimação social que disseminou os elementos arquitetôni- cos, estruturais e estéticos nas novas tipologias residenciais construídas. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a assimilação de elemen- tos, soluções espaciais e formas da arquitetura moderna nessas casas, realizada por meio de levantamento físico, fotográfico, bibliográfico e en- trevistas com seus proprietários ou moradores. Identificou-se nos exem- plares estudados, elementos formais e estéticos da arquitetura moderna em uma diversidade de interpretações de seus autores, em função das novas necessidades surgidas e da popularização do uso de certos ma- teriais, como os fragmentos de azulejos, constatando-se a necessidade de ampliar o estudo desses exemplares, para melhor compreender essa outra face da expressão do moderno em Belém.
Le poids économique direct de la culture en 2019
Authors: Turner Laure
Published: April 2021

En 2019, le poids économique direct de la culture, c’est-à-dire la valeur ajoutée de l’ensemble des branches culturelles, est de 49,2 milliards d’euros. La part de la culture dans l’ensemble de l’économie s’établit ainsi à 2,3 %, soit un poids stable depuis 2013. Le recul des branches du livre, et plus particulièrement de la presse, continue de peser sur la croissance. À l’inverse, l’audiovisuel, première branche culturelle en termes de poids économique (28 % de la valeur ajoutée de l’ensemble des branches culturelles), les arts visuels et le patrimoine soutiennent la croissance de la valeur ajoutée de la culture. En 2019, le poids de la branche du spectacle vivant (15 % de l’ensemble des branches culturelles) dépasse pour la première fois celui de la presse et du livre (14 %). En 2018, 692 900 personnes travaillent dans les secteurs culturels (2,6 % de la population active), principalement dans le livre et la presse (19 %), les arts visuels (15 %) et l’audiovisuel (15 %). Un tiers des actifs des secteurs culturels sont indépendants, contre seulement 12 % dans la population active de l’ensemble des secteurs.
Pension anticipée et épargne financière des ménages
Authors: Arrondel Luc , Delbos Jean-Brieux , Durant Dominique , Pfister Christian , Soulat Laurent
Published: April 2021

Depuis l’article pionnier de Feldstein (1974), l’impact d’un système de retraite sur le niveau d’épargne fait l’objet de nombreux travaux aux résultats parfois controversés. Selon l’hypothèse standard du cycle de vie, un individu qui anticipe une perte de niveau de vie à la retraite devrait, toutes choses égales par ailleurs, épargner davantage. C’est à cette question que nous nous intéressons ici. Pour cela, nous considérons que les individus anticipent de façon plus satisfaisante leur taux de remplacement (à partir de leur profil de salaires) qu’un montant de pension au moment du départ en retraite. Nous étudions alors les effets d’une variation anticipée de ce taux de remplacement sur l’épargne financière des ménages, en tenant compte à la fois des évolutions anticipées de carrière et des réformes des retraites. Nous mobilisons la vague 2012 de l’enquête PAT€R portant sur la population française qui dispose de riches informations au niveau individuel sur les anticipations de pension. Nos estimations économétriques montrent qu’un plus faible (resp. plus élevé) taux de remplacement anticipé est relié, de façon significative, à un taux d’épargne financière plus élevé (resp. plus faible).
La place de l’évaluation dans les fonctions législatives et de contrôle du Parlement européen
Authors: Lamarque Danièle
Published: April 2021

Dans un contexte général de faible institutionnalisation de l’évaluation dans les parlements, le développement de l’évaluation au sein des institutions européennes se distingue par un dispositif extensif comprenant des dispositions légales, des guides pratiques et un système de contrôle de qualité. Le Parlement y recourt activement pour la mise en œuvre de ses fonctions législatives et de contrôle. Des améliorations sont toutefois nécessaires pour une meilleure intégration de l’évaluation dans le processus d’élaboration des politiques européennes.
Les régions et l’évaluation des politiques publiques : entre différenciation et convergence
Authors: Réser Collectif
Published: April 2021

Les régions françaises, pionnières sur la question, ont vu la place et le rôle de l’évaluation évoluer fortement au cours des dernières années. Face à ce constat, cet article analyse les variables de changement ayant conduit à ces évolutions. Plus largement, cet article dresse un panorama de l’institutionnalisation, de la pérennité et de la fragilité de l’évaluation au sein des régions.
Qu’est-ce que l’analyse militante apporte à l’évaluation des politiques publiques ?
Authors: Tevini Marc
Published: April 2021

Cet article s’intéresse au rapprochement entre l’évaluation des politiques publiques et certaines analyses conduites par des organisations militantes. Il étudie des travaux militants qui s’appuient, comme les évaluations, sur la collecte de données probantes afin de juger de l’efficacité, de la cohérence et de la pertinence de certaines politiques publiques. Alors que ces travaux ne portent pas toujours le nom ni ne se réfèrent à l’évaluation des politiques publiques, deux études de cas permettent d’illustrer et de documenter la façon dont ces démarches mobilisent des informations à caractère évaluatif dans une logique de plaidoyer. Ces travaux qui visent à alerter l’opinion publique via une approche se voulant évaluative seraient-ils plus à même de susciter la controverse et le débat public ?
Évaluer la formation professionnelle continue : le paritarisme à l’épreuve
Authors: Gassert Edine
Published: April 2021

Cet article interroge le processus d’institutionnalisation de l’évaluation qui s’est enclenché au cours de la dernière décennie au sein du régime paritaire de la formation professionnelle. Tout d’abord, il montre comment l’évaluation est devenue un enjeu politique. Il explore ensuite la mise en forme de l’évaluation au prisme des rapports sociaux et des arrangements institutionnels issus d’une réforme intervenue en 2009. Enfin, il explore les retombées du « travail d’évaluation » sur les acteurs syndicaux. À travers l’examen des dynamiques d’apprentissage et des obstacles reliés à la pratique de l’évaluation, l’article met en lumière les ressorts de la constitution d’un nouvel acteur collectif de l’évaluation dans le domaine de l’action publique négociée de la formation professionnelle.
Influence of different training methods on cardiovascular disease risk markers after cessation of anabolic steroids abuse in bodybuilders at risk
Authors: Hashemi S.M.S. , Arazi H.
Published: April 2021

Evidence suggests that anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) abuse induces adverse effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it is unclear whether different training methods are effective in reducing these consequences. This study aims to compare the effects of aerobic training (AT), resistance training (RT), and combined training (CT) on CVD risk markers in professional bodybuilders at risk after cessation of AAS abuse. Forty bodybuilders were randomly assigned to one of four groups: control (n=10), AT (n=10), RT (RT, n=10), and CT (n=10) groups. Before and after eight weeks of training, the high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), haematocrit (HCT), homocysteine (HCY), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and blood pressure (BP) were measured. Significant decreases within groups in HCY and CRP were observed (P<0.05). However, decreases were greater in training groups, and there was a significant difference between control and training groups (P<0.05). Increase in NT-proBNP, and decreases in systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels were significant only in training groups (P<0.005). The increase of NT-proBNP was significant in the CT when compared to the RT (P<0.05). The present study found that discontinuing AAS consumption can improve some CVD risk markers in professional bodybuilders, but this effect could be improved if various modalities of training were performed. Accompanying AT with RT was also discovered to have a greater impact on some markers (including NT-proBNP).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of exercises with whole-body vibration which was added to aerobic training on the physical fitness of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Thirty-two patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver (age 44.39±8.74 years) were randomly divided into an aerobic training + vibration group and an aerobic training + sham vibration group. The aerobic training was continued at 60-80% heart rate workload, 40 min per day during 3 days per week, for 8 weeks. Vibration were performed with dynamic and static exercises at 30 Hz, with a 2 mm amplitude, for 15 min. The energy expenditure responses were carried out by an exercise tolerance test system. Lower limb isometric muscle strength assessment was made with a calibrated handheld dynamometer from bilaterally knee extensors. The sit to stand test, and the time up and go test were used for physical performance evaluation. At eight weeks, both groups showed a significant reduction in the sit to stand (-1.62±1.00 vs -0.37±1.52), the time up and go test (-1.43±0.99 vs -1.39±1.06), the right lower extremity muscle strength (1.01±1.61 vs 1.22±2.82), and the energy expenditure scores (MET; 1.88 ml/kg/min, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19; 2.57, d=0.55, minimal clinically important difference (McID) = 0.69 vs 2.01 ml/kg/min, 95% CI 0.76; 3.24, d=0.26, McID = 1.54, respectively), however no significant differences emerged between groups (P≥0.05). The addition of vibration exercises to an aerobic program did not provide additional benefits to physical fitness in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver.
Modelling the effects of ozone concentration and pulse vaccination on seasonal influenza outbreaks in Gansu Province, China

Common air pollutants, such as ozone (\begin{document}$ \rm{O}_{3} $\end{document}), sulfur dioxide (\begin{document}$ \rm{SO}_2 $\end{document}) and nitrogen dioxide (\begin{document}$ \rm{NO}_2 $\end{document}), can affect the spread of influenza. We propose a new non-autonomous impulsive differential equation model with the effects of ozone and vaccination in this paper. First, the basic reproduction number of the impulsive system is obtained, and the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free periodic solution is proved. Furthermore, the uniform persistence of the system is demonstrated. Second, the unknown parameters of the ozone dynamics model are obtained by fitting the ozone concentration data by the least square method and Bootstrap. The MCMC algorithm is used to fit influenza data in Gansu Province to identify the most suitable parameter values of the system. The basic reproduction number \begin{document}$ R_{0} $\end{document} is estimated to be \begin{document}$ 1.2486 $\end{document} (\begin{document}$ 95\%\rm{CI}:(1.2470, 1.2501) $\end{document}). Then, a sensitivity analysis is performed on the system parameters. We find that the average annual incidence of seasonal influenza in Gansu Province is 31.3374 per 100,000 people. Influenza cases started to surge in 2016, rising by a factor of one and a half between 2014 and 2016, further increasing in 2019 (54.6909 per 100,000 population). The average incidence rate during the post-upsurge period (2017-2019) is one and a half times more than in the pre-upsurge period (2014-2016). In particular, we find that the peak ozone concentration appears 5–8 months in Gansu Province. A moderate negative correlation is seen between influenza cases and monthly ozone concentration (Pearson correlation coefficient: \begin{document}$ r $\end{document} = -0.4427). Finally, our results show that increasing the vaccination rate and appropriately increasing the ozone concentration can effectively prevent and control the spread of influenza.

COVID-19 has brought a great impact on people's lives around the world. This paper aims to study the influencing factors of people's fear of missing out (FOMO) toward personal ICT use and its further impact on life satisfaction during the pandemic. A sample consisting of 318 participants was obtained by an online survey in China. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. The results suggested that people's anxiety and boredom brought by the pandemic are positively correlated with their FOMO. People with higher FOMO used personal ICTs more frequently for both social and process purposes. Furthermore, the social use of ICTs promoted people's life satisfaction, while the process use of ICTs had no significant effect on life satisfaction. Several theoretical and practical implications were discussed based on the results.

The recently identified anion channel LRRC8 volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) are heteromeric hexamers constituted with the obligate LRRC8A subunit paired with at least one of the accessory LRRC8B to LRRC8E subunits. In addition to transport chloride, taurine, and glutamate, LRRC8 VRACs also transport the anticancer agent cisplatin and STING agonists 2′3′-cyclic GMP–AMP (cGAMP) and cyclic dinucleotides; hence, they are implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, such as cell swelling, stroke, cancer, and viral infection. Although the subunit composition largely determines VRAC substrate specificity, the opening of various VRAC pores under physiological and pathological settings remains enigmatic. In this study, we demonstrated that VRACs comprising LRRC8A and LRRC8E (LRRC8A/E–containing VRACs), specialized in cGAMP transport, can be opened by a protein component present in serum under resting condition. Serum depletion ablated the tonic activity of LRRC8A/E–containing VRACs, decreasing cGAMP transport in various human and murine cells. Also, heating or proteinase K treatment abolished the ability of serum to activate VRAC. Genetic analyses revealed a crucial role for cGAMP synthase (cGAS) in serum/TNF–promoted VRAC activation. Notably, the presence of cGAS on the plasma membrane, rather than its DNA-binding or enzymatic activity, enabled VRAC activation. Moreover, phospholipid PIP2 seemed to be instrumental in the membrane localization of cGAS and its association with VRACs. Corroborating a role for LRRC8A/D–containing VRACs in cisplatin transport, serum and TNF markedly potentiated cisplatin uptake and killing of cancer cells derived from human or mouse. Together, these observations provide new insights into the complex regulation of VRAC activation and suggest a novel approach to enhance the efficacy of cGAMP and cisplatin in treating infection and cancer.

Measurements of physical function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uncertain and require investments for special equipment, space, and staff. Therefore, we evaluated the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) 4 to 6 weeks preoperatively and 2 weeks following TKA as this test battery addresses lower extremity strength, coordination, and balance, without additional special investments. For context, we also employed the Six-Minute Walk test (6MWT) and peak torque knee extension. Our analysis consisted of three women and one man, with average ages of 68.3±3.9 years. Patients showed a decrease in all functional measurements: SPPB (mean change: −4.8±1.9, 44% decrease), 6MWT (−0.37±.21 m/s, 34% decrease), and peak torque (−11.8±8.8°/s, 68% decrease). Our findings suggest the SPPB is feasible and can be integrated easily in daily clinical practice.

Published: April 2021

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global problem but its increasing prevalence in the working age group in developing countries like Nigeria is concerning and needs urgent attention.Methods: The study was a mixed method design: quantitative phase with 402 participants and qualitative phase with 16 participants in two focus groups. The participants in the quantitative survey phase completed two questionnaires on the knowledge and perception of CVD and its risk factors. Data from the quantitative cross-sectional survey were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The qualitative data were analysed using content thematic analysis.Results: We report that 39.1% of the participants had high knowledge whilst 61.9% had low and average knowledge of CVD and its risk factors. Of the participants, 78.1% had a wrong perception of CVD and its risk factors. Participants from faculties of veterinary medicine and basic medical sciences had better knowledge than others who were not medically inclined (F = 16.11; p 0.001). Only participants from the faculty of veterinary medicine had the right perception of CVD and its risk factors. There was no significant difference in knowledge and perception scores between male and female participants. The qualitative study buttressed the results from the cross-sectional survey, where adolescents and young adults highlighted academic stress and poverty as major risk factors for CVD.Conclusion: Adolescents and young adults in this study did not have good knowledge of CVD and its risk factors. They also had a wrong perception about CVD and its risk factors.
