Authors: Gruzieva Tetiana S. , Korolenko Volodymyr V. , Inshakova Hanna V.
Published: January 2021

The aim: To determine the features and trends of dermatovenerological health of population; to identify conditions and problems of providing dermatovenerological care.
Materials and methods: Bibliographic, epidemiological, medico-statistical, sociological methods were used. Scientific literature, data from the Center of Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine concerning population health and dermatovenerological establishments activity on 2000-2019, data of authors` own sociological researches on opinion of dermatovenerological profile experts about available problems and ways of their decision were analyzed.
Results: A long-term tendency towards a decrease in the incidence of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases by 8,6% during 2000-2017 and the incidence of venereal diseases during 2000-2019 was revealed (for syphilis – by 15,5 times, gonorrhea – by 6,8 times). At the same time, during 2014-2019 there was an increase in the incidence of atopic dermatitis by 3,6%, of contact dermatitis – by 5,2%, of trichophytia and microsporia by 22,6%, as well as increase in the prevalence of psoriasis – by 6,0%. The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases remains significant. Trends in recent years indicate a deterioration in dermatological health and an increasing need for medical services. During healthcare reforming over the course of nineteen years there was a reduction in the amount of dermatovenerologists and their number per population by 31,5%, the amount of dermatological institutions – by 2,6 times and beds – by 3,9 times. According to 18,6±3,1 per 100 surveyed respondents, the availability of dermatovenerological care to the population is low, and its deterioration in the COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed by 80,1±4,0. Some factors that negatively affect the quality of medical services have been identified: insufficient amount and quality of medical equipment (57,1±4,0 per 100 respondents), insufficient opportunity for continuous professional development (34,0±3,8); lack of computers (30,8±3,7); lack of motivation to improve the quality of work (28,8±3,6). The priority measures that need to be taken to improve dermatovenerological medical services have been identified.
Conclusions: The study of dermatovenerological profile experts` opinion regarding the current state of the dermatovenerological service, human resources, the availability and quality of the services made it possible to identify a number of organizational and administrative problems as well as to prioritize activities on providing dermatovenerological care to the population in the context of healthcare reform and COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim is to evaluate the effects of L-arginine and L-ornithine on the processes of lipid peroxidation in homogenates of renal cortex, renal medulla and renal papilla under conditions of acute toxic hepatitis.
Materials and methods: The study was performed on 40 outbred white male rats with experimental hepatitis, caused by carbon tetrachloride. The animals were divided into five groups: control group (the rats were simulated carbon tetrachloride poisoning and its correction by administering of olive oil and normal saline in equivalent doses), acute carbon tetrachloride hepatitis (single intraperitoneal injection of 50% carbon tetrachloride oil solution at the dose of 2 mlxkg-1 of body weight and simulation of treatment by administration of normal saline in equivalent doses), acute carbon tetrachloride hepatitis + L-ornithine (1000 mgxkg-1), acute carbon tetrachloride hepatitis + L-arginine (500 mgxkg-1) and acute carbon tetrachloride hepatitis + combination of substances.
Results: On the background of acute carbon tetrachloride intoxication it was observed the development of renal failure in experimental animals, manifested by activation of lipid peroxidation processes in homogenates of renal cortex, renal medulla and renal papilla. The administration of L-ornithine and L-arginine demonstrates positive impact on renal function and hepato-renal syndrome by stabilization of cell membranes and regeneration of functional capacity of injured renal cells.
Conclusions: The results of our study confirm both the presence of unidirectional effects and absence of toxic influences of L-ornithine and L-arginine on renal cells under the conditions of acute carbon tetrachloride intoxication, which are the most important requirements for modern drugs for the treatment of hepato-renal syndrome.

Published: January 2021

In this essay, we conduct a descriptive content analysis from a sample of a dataset made up of 534 thousand scraped tweets, supplemented with access to 1.36 million tweets from the Twitter fire-hose, from accounts that used the #ADOS hashtag between November 2019 and September 2020. ADOS is an acronym for American Descendants of Slavery, a largely online group that operates within Black online communities. We find that the ADOS network strategically uses breaking news events to encourage discourage Black voters from voting for the Democratic party, a phenomenon we call disinformation creep. Conversely, the ADOS network has remained largely silent about the impact of the novel coronavirus on Black communities, undermining its claims that it works in the interests of Black Americans.

Discovering geometry via the Discover command in GeoGebra Discovery
Authors: Kovács Zoltán
Published: January 2021

We present a new way to discover statements in a planar geometric figure by using GeoGebra Discovery, an experimental version of GeoGebra, the free dynamic mathematics software package. A new command "Discover" (which is also available as a tool) requires an input point of the figure---as output several properties of the figure are communicated by the program. That is, "Discover" reports a list of the observed geometric properties, including point equality, equal long segments, collinearity, concyclicity, parallelism and perpendicularity. All of the obtained statements are checked symbolically: this means that the verification is done with computer algebra means. The obtained properties are also highlighted with colors or dashed lines in the original figure. The discovery process can always be continued by creating new objects and selecting a new target point to discover. We focus on possible uses in a classroom: two basic examples are shown from an Austrian textbook first. Then some more difficult topics are introduced that are usually covered by the secondary school curriculum. As a final example, we consider the discovery of a more advanced theorem, namely, a proposition according to Napoleon. In the paper we give some references to related software systems and the applied mathematical background as well.

TRPV1 channel is activated with pH changes, increasing temperature, free radicals, and oxidative stress, and it may be a good measure for detecting the effect of microwave non-ionizing radiation on cellular and molecular responses. The scoping review study aims to survey the influence of mobile and wireless radiation on the TRPV1 channel mechanism. We systematically considered international databases to recognize related studies, including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ISI Web of Science, Science Direct from the start, PROSPERO and EMBASE use headings for scientific topics (Mesh). The hunt covered the period from 1980 until 2019. A total of seven studies comprising 137 cases, three in vitro tests on breast cancer cell line Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7), embryonic kidney HEK293T cells and Rabbit polyclonal anti-TRPV1, and four in vivo experimental studies comprising 21 male and 24 female Wistar Albino rats, were included. Two studies indicated cell phones induced mitochondrial ROS, Oxidative stress-induced in the hippocampus, mitochondrial apoptosis via activation of TRPV1 in HIPPON and DRGN cells. The cytosolic Ca2+ induced by TRPV1 induced oxidative overactions and apoptosis at a distance of 10 cm from the source of the cells. Our review shows that cell phone and wireless radiation have a possible effect on Ca2+ signaling by TRPV1 channel activation. This reaction may induce ROS, Fenton and Haber-Weiss reaction which increase free radicals’ level in the mitochondria.
What Predicts the Sport Event Volunteer Experience? Examining Motivation, Satisfaction, Commitment, And Sense of Community
Authors: Lachance Erik L. , Bakhsh Jordan T. , Thompson Ashley , Parent Milena M.
Published: January 2021

Despite the large body of literature on sport event volunteers, researchers have a poor understanding of the volunteer experience despite studies claiming direct and indirect relationships involving motivation, satisfaction, commitment, and sense of community towards the volunteer experience.
In fact, most studies fail to statistically measure experience as a dependent variable. As such, the importance of these four antecedents as predictors of the volunteer experience remains assumed and uncertain. The purpose of this study was to empirically test if and how sport event volunteers'
motivation, satisfaction, commitment, and sense of community predict their experience. Following the 2019 Osprey Valley Open, 161 volunteers (65% response rate) completed an online self-administered questionnaire. A two-step structural equation model analysis tested the hypothesized linear
relationships. Results indicated direct (i. e., motivation and satisfaction) and indirect (i. e., commitment and sense of community) relationships between antecedents and the volunteer experience. Commitment had an indirect relationship to the volunteer experience through motivation's direct
relationship, while the indirect relationship of sense of community occurred through satisfaction's direct relationship to the volunteer experience. Confirmatory factor analysis also indicated motivation and sense of community had poor factor loadings, while satisfaction and commitment loaded
adequately. Moreover, only the egoistic motivation factor was supported in this study motivation's direct relationship to the volunteer experience. These findings empirically support previous claims for motivation and satisfaction's direct relationship to the volunteer experience but dispute
previous claims of direct relationships involving sense of community and commitment. Contributions include the need to move beyond investigating individual antecedents of the volunteer experience as it requires a multifaceted analysis due to conceptual interrelationships. Event managers should
understand their volunteers' experience as being complex and develop strategies aimed at each of the four antecedents.

Authors: Abushgair Khaleel
Published: January 2021

The current work aimed to study and understand the nature of interaction between aerosol/dusts and its surrounding medium such as air and/or solid dry or wet surfaces. Results were used as benchmarks to design spraying mechanisms and devices that can be used for optimizing the spraying device design geometry and shape with adjustable distance between cup and pin in parts and to lower manufacturing cost using solid works flow simulations software. Different spray devices were designed and evaluated with simulation, from simple ideas to complex device shapes. The simulation focused on studying the air profile and stream lines, with and without particles (dust particles with spherical shape and 5 micro meters in diameters), pressure, velocity and density during spraying process. Simulation results for the last modified spraying device case-6 with mass flow rate of 1.5 kg/s, and distance between cup and pin of ( part 2) 3.3 mm showed excellent mixing and spreading mechanisms with uniform velocity of flow, density and pressure through the whole device. Even the tested device in case-3 with mass flow rate 1 kg/s, distance between cup and pin of (part 2) 6.6 mm was also perfect. This device is expected to be used as a nanoparticle spraying device, a pollination device in date palm tree pollination and an aerosols aerodynamic behavior simulating system

Complexity of Dual Employment in Department of Health and university, South Africa
Authors: B Meel
Published: January 2021

Background: Dual employment was inherited from the Transkei government, which ruled that all doctorswho worked in hospitals also had to work in the medical school of the rural University. Policies at thisuniversity are inadequate, and where they do exist their implementation is discriminatory in nature.Case history: Mr. BM joined the Department of Health as a medical officer and was subsequently appointedas an acting head of department in the Department. He had to work in the health care system as well as atthe university full-time (Joint establishment); he was working on his own in his department. He was paid asa medical officer by the health but received no remuneration from university. This was contrary to labor lawand University policy and once the council realized this, a resolution was taken granting him back payment.Unfortunately, it was not implemented.Mr. BM was working against the post of professor and acting head and carried out all the responsibilitiesof that post without being remunerated. Although he was paid at the occupational-specific dispensation(OSD) scale in 2009, it was not adjusted till his retirement in 2018; therefore it affected his pension as well.The case history, short payment in salary, and unfair labor practice in respect of his dual employment arediscussed in this manuscript.Conclusion: The DOH must take responsibility in his dual employment for this shortfall in salary, as it isthe source of major funding.

Do Turbans Provide Protection Against Cranial Trauma in Two-Wheeler Accidents? A Review of the Indian Medical Literature
Authors: Dirk HR Spennemann
Published: January 2021

The wearing of turbans or head scarves is mandatory for practising Sikh men and women. Religious mandatesstipulate that nothing may be placed on top of the turban (scarf), thus making it impossible for practicing Sikhs towear protective motorcycle helmets. To honour the freedom of religious expression, many jurisdictions, includingIndia, have exempted Sikhs from mandatory helmet laws. Despite studies into the efficacy of protective helmetswhile riding ‘two-wheelers,’ little is known about the protective potential of turbans. This paper represents a reviewof Indian literature (277 studies) related to head injuries sustained in road traffic accidents involving two-wheelers.This review shows that the extant literature is of limited value when trying to understand the extent of the protectivepotential of turbans and that systematic, evidence-based epidemiological studies derived from hospital admissionsand forensic examinations are required.

Parathyroid Hormone Related Protein - A Skeletal Biomarker – A Review
Authors: A. Arif Yezdani,
Published: January 2021

The discovery of Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) was through its structural and functionalhomology with parathyroid hormone. It is secreted by cancers and it interacts with parathyroid hormonereceptors in kidney and bone to cause humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy and paraneoplastic syndrome andplays an important role in cellular differentiation and proliferation, embryonic development, transepithelialcalcium transport and in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction.Its intracrine, paracrine and endocrinemodes of action play a central role in organogenesis and drives numerous physiologic and pathologicconditions.It is initially translated as a preprohormone which is posttranslationally processed to yield afamily of mature secretory forms. The aminoterminal portion of the molecule is homologous to parathyroidhormone.As PTHrP plays a vital role in the regulation of endochondral bone development it was surmisedthat it could also serve as an ideal biologic skeletal maturity indicator to detect peak pubertal growth spurt.

Authors: Ameena Ryhan Diajil
Published: January 2021

Background: Sebaceous glands are normal structures of the skin, but may be ectopically found in themouth, as oral Fordyce granules. They are located just beneath the overlying epithelium and are visiblethrough the epithelium producing local elevations. It has been suggested that there is a relation betweenelevated lipid profile and the presence of these granules.Method: A total of 130 individuals were included in this cross-sectional study, who were subjected to theoral examination for the presence & scoring of oral Fordyce granules, then blood samples were taken. Casesheet involved, demographic information and medical history. Using specialized kits, lipids profile analysiswas done on a fully automated spectrophotometric analyzer.Results: Fordyce granules were recorded in 25% of cases, with males formed the majority of them. In bothgender, lip was the most commonly affected sites.Fordyce granules were observed in one-third of patients with systemic diseases.The majority of cases with Fordyce granules, recoded normal triglyceride, HDL, LDL and VLDL levels, butone-fourth of patients with hyper cholesterol were seen with Fordyce granules. Chi-Square test showed noassociation between lipid profile & these granules.A negative correlation was found between Fordyce granules number and cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels,although statistically non- significant.Conclusion: Oral Fordyce granules were most frequently observed in the lips, with male gender and olderage predilections. The current study did not support the association between oral Fordyce granules andserum lipid profile changes.

Authors: Qomaria Aulia Lutfiana
Published: January 2021

Talkshow Rumpi No Secret di Trans TV merupakan talkshow yang sering membahas hal pribadi narasumber. Berawal dari berita munculnya artis-artis yang memiliki konflik dengan Host Rumpi No Secret Trans TV (Feni Rose) karena gaya khas host tersebut memiliki karakter tajam sehingga mempunyai kekuatan untuk membongkar informasi yang disembunyikan narasumber. Rumpi No Secret Trans TV terkena teguran oleh KPI karena telah melanggar Pasal 13 pada P3SPS BAB IX mengenai Penghormatan Terhadap Hak Privasi yang disebabkan oleh cara penyampaian host yang terkesan mengulik hal pribadi narasumber. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori literasi media dari James W. Potter (2004) yakni Seven Skills of Media Literacy yang ditujukan untuk mengetahui tahapan bagaimana mahasiswa aktif dan dapat menyaring informasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan pada masing-masing individu. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan lima narasumber yang merupakan mahasiswa jurusan ilmu komunikasi yang telah mengikuti mata kuliah Etika Penyiaran dan juga tertarik pada bidang presenting sehingga dapat mengamati apa yang terjadi pada talkshow Rumpi No Secret Trans TV. Hasil yang dicapai oleh peneliti terdapat narasumber yang memiliki tanggapan bahwa konflik dan serangkaian acara pada talkshow Rumpi No Secret Trans TV merupakan adanya kemungkinan berupa settingan dan kurangnya briefing. Hasil yang dicapai selanjutnya, terdapat perbedaan level kecakapan literasi media pada setiap narasumber dalam mengkritisi isi pesan dalam talkshow tersebut.

El microtexto de la 'Poética del desamor' en las Rimas de Boccaccio
Authors: Blanco Valdés Carmen Fátima
Published: January 2021

Sobre la base de la posibilidad de acercarnos al estudio de las Rimas de Giovanni Boccaccio a través del establecimiento de determinados núcleos temáticos que permiten un estudio de esta obra desde los enfoques macrotextuales y microtextuales, el artículo se propone el estudio de los procedimientos empleados por este escritor para la narración de lo que hemos denominado como microtexto de la «poética del desamor» entendido como efecto contrario al producido por la plenitudo amoris. Se analiza, de este modo, la categoría emocional de la Tristitia y las series poéticas comprendidas en los campos semánticos centrados en el dolor, el llanto y el deseo hiperbólico de muerte, con la intención de describir tales procesos y la interpretación particular que el poeta hace de los mismos.

Authors: Martínez H. Salvador
Published: January 2021

Resumen: Estudio sobre el origen del humanismo vernáculo castellano en el ámbito del humanismo medieval. Se analizan sus características, contrastándolas con las del humanismo latino clasicista del siglo XV. Se ilustra por qué es un humanismo total, que, por influjo de la filosofía aristotélica, incluye las letras y las ciencias, e integrador de las tres culturas presentes en la sociedad peninsular del siglo XIII, las cuales usaron el vernáculo como lengua común.Palabras clave: Humanismo medieval, humanismo vernáculo, humanismo latino clasicista, el castellano lengua de cultura, Alfonso X el Sabio.Abstract: A study of the origins of Castilian vernacular humanism in the context of medieval humanism. Its characteristics are analyzed and contrasted with the Latin classicist humanism of the XVth Century. The study illustrates why vernacular humanism, due to the influence of the Aristotelian philosophy, is comprehensive, integrating both the letters and the sciences, and it is inclusive of all three cultures present in the Spanish society of the XIIIth Century that used the vernacular as their common language.Keywords: Medieval humanism, vernacular humanism, Latin classicist humanism, Castilian as language of culture, Alfonso X the Learned.
The earthquake that shook central Sjælland, Denmark, November 6, 2001
Authors: Larsen T. B. , Bekkevold V. Orozova
Published: January 2021

Earthquakes on Sjælland are in general small and seldom felt. The largest earthquakes in the Danish region occur in Skagerrak and Kattegat, and they are felt in NW Jylland (Thy) and in North Sjælland on average several years apart. A small earthquake measuring just 2.8 on the Richter Scale was felt and heard over a surprisingly large area of Sjælland, Denmark on November 6, 2001.
The earthquake caused people to abruptly leave their houses near the epicenter, and minor damage to several buildings was observed. The felt area is oriented strongly asymmetrically with respect to the epicenter, but it correlates well with the local geology. Specifically the shaking was felt in a region where the depth to the Top Chalk surface is small, and the thickness of the Quaternary sediments is less than 50 m.
In 1869 an earthquake was felt strongly in the exact same area, and contours separating the felt area from the area where nothing was felt coincide almost exactly for the two earthquakes. This supports that geology and not human subjectivity is the determining factor in delineating the felt area for this earthquake.
Upper Permian bryozoans of central East Greenland
Authors: Sørensen Anne M. , Håkansson Eckart , Stemmerik Lars
Published: January 2021

The bryozoan fauna in the Upper Permian Wegener Halvø, Ravnefjeld and Schuchert Dal formations, central East Greenland is of modest diversity, with only 15 genera identified.
Bryozoans are most abundant in the Wegener Halvø Formation where they are important in the formation of carbonate buildups. Robust, rigidly erect colony types dominate in buildup cores whereas delicate erect types characterize the distal parts of the buildups. Cement-dominated bryozoan buildups are found in East Greenland and in the Zechstein Basin but are not known from the contemporaneous cool-water successions of North Greenland and Svalbard.
The buildups are probably formed by seawater chemistry facilitating syn-depositional cement rather than a difference in the composition of the bryozoan fauna.
The Relationship Between Cadmium Levels and Testosterone Levels in a Sample of Aleppo City Residents
Authors: Salaho Mohammad , Kassem Mahmoud
Published: January 2021

This study aimed to determine the blood concentration levels of cadmium in a sample of residents of Aleppo and to correlate them with their testosterone concentration levels. The experiment was conducted using 75 participants divided into 3 groups, averaging 25 participants per group: a group of people who work with electrical generators, a group of smokers, and a control group. The results showed higher average cadmium concentration levels in all groups, including the control group, compared with the normal levels of cadmium concentration in the body. The average concentration levels per group were 88.48 µg/l, 82.32 µg/l, and 19.84 µg/l, respectively. The results also showed lower mean testosterone concentrations in both the group of people who work with electrical generators (5.53 ng/ml) and the group of smokers (4.43 ng/ml) when compared with the control group (7.59 ng/ml). Using the Pearson correlation coefficient, a correlation was found between cadmium concentrations and testosterone concentrations (P = 0.05).

Der auf diesem Verständnis fußende Lösungsprozess lässt sich mit Stop-Motion-Filmen schon im Anfangsunterricht sehr gut begleiten. Mögliche Realisierungen dieses Zusammenspiels werden anhand der App „Stop Motion Studio“ aufgezeigt.
Interaktion, Aktivität und Sprachförderung beim Lernen von Hochschulmathematik – Beispiele aus einem Norwegischen Entwicklungsprojekt
Authors: Rønning Frode
Published: January 2021

Bis vor kurzem wurden an der NTNU die Mathematikveranstaltungen als klassische Vorlesungen in großen Hörsälen durchgeführt. Zusätzlich gab es schriftliche Einreichungen von Übungsblättern, die in kleineren Gruppen betreut wurden. In den letzten Jahren hat man verschiedene Maßnahmen durchgeführt, die vor allem eine höhere Aktivität in den Lernprozessen fördern sollten. Diese Maßnahmen bestehen aus mehreren Komponenten. Wichtig ist die Aufteilung der Vorlesungen in zwei Kategorien, sogenannte Übersichtsvorlesungen und Interaktive Vorlesungen. In den interaktiven Vorlesungen wird Interaktion unter den Lernenden und zwischen den Lernenden und den Dozenten gefördert. Eine weitere Maßnahme ist die teilweise Ersetzung schriftlicher Einreichungen mit computerbewerteten Einreichungen. In diesem Beitrag will ich die Rolle der Vorlesungen diskutieren und wie die Studierenden diese Rolle bewerten. Ferner will ich von Erfahrungen mit den computerbewerteten Aufgaben berichten, mit besonderem Blick auf eine Charakterisierung von Aufgaben, die für Computerbewertung geeignet sind.
