Integrating measures of anthropometry and cardiometabolic health in stress, early experiences, and development (SEED) science
Authors: Doom Jenalee
Published: August 2020

Within Stress, Early Experiences, and Development (SEED) science, there is a growing body of research demonstrating complex associations not only between stress, development, and psychopathology, but also with chronic disease risk factors. We argue that it is important for SEED researchers to consider including child anthropometric and physical health measures to more comprehensively capture processes of risk and resilience. Broader adoption of harmonized anthropometry and health measures in SEED research will facilitate collaborations, yielding larger datasets for research in high-risk populations, and greater opportunity to replicate existing findings. In this review, we identify optimal anthropometric and cardiometabolic health measurement methods used from infancy through adolescence, including those that are low-burden and inexpensive. Methods covered include: waist, hip, and head circumference, height, length, weight, pubertal development, body composition, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, carotid intima media thickness, and serum measures of cardiometabolic risk and inflammation. We provide resources for SEED researchers to integrate these methods into projects or to better understand these methods when reading the literature as well as where to find collaborators for more in-depth studies incorporating these measures. With broader integration of psychological and physical health measures in SEED research, we can better inform theory and interventions to promote health and resilience in individuals who have experienced early stress.

Hubungan Partisipasi Umat Kristen Dalam Dunia Politik Dan Pendidikan Terhadap Mandat Amanat Agung
Authors: Togatorop Mangiring Tua
Published: August 2020

Gereja adalah wakil dari Kerajaan Allah di dunia ini dan diperintahkan untuk membawa berita Injilke semua manusia di bumi. Sebuah gereja yang misioner adalah gereja yang melaksanakan misi.Kata “misi” atau “mission (Inggris)” berasal dari kata Latin “missio” yang diangkat dari kata“mittere”, merupakan terjemahan dari kata Yunani “apostello”, yang artinya “mengirim” atau“mengutus”. Secara umum kata misi bisa merujuk pada pengutusan seseorang dengan tujuankhusus, misalnya misi kesenian, misi budaya. Istilah “mission” dan “missions” tidaklah sama. Paraahli misiologi membedakan kedua istilah tersebut. “Mission” merupakan suatu keseluruhan yangAllah penelitiankan kepada gereja, baik itu bersifat pelayanan kepada Allah, anggota gereja,maupun orang yang belum percaya kepada Kristus. Sedangkan “missions” merupakan partisipasigereja dalam penelitian peberitaan Injil yang Allah percayakan pada gereja-Nya. oleh karena itumandat Amanat Agung ini harus menjadi perhatian utama umat Kristes. dengan mandat AmanatAgung ini, maka Gereja bisa menilai dan merasakan suatu pertumbuhan Gereja yang signifikan.Misalnya: semakin bertumbuhnya Umat Gereja dalam hal kwantitas, semakin banyaknyapenanaman Gereja, semakin terjangkau yang belum terjangkau, semakin hidupnya jiwa Misionarisdidalam Gereja. prihal tersebut sangat ditentukan dengan kehidupan Gereja dalam bermisi,Sehingga panggilan bermisi sesuatu yang sangat diharapkan oleh suatu Gereja.
People regulate each other’s emotion regulation
Authors: Cusimano Corey , Goodwin Geoffrey
Published: August 2020

People often observe others struggling with and attempting to regulate their negative emotions. But, rather than always offering sympathy and help, observers sometimes criticize others for feeling upset, thereby making them suffer even more. Why would observers react to suffering others in this way? Across six studies, we show that observers’ use criticism to spur sufferers to regulate their negative emotions away on their own. Consistent with this goal, observers base their supportive or critical reactions on whether they think the sufferer is capable of controlling their negative emotion (i.e., of regulating it away). Observers rely on a variety of cues to determine whether a person has control over their suffering. First, observers rely on their own sense of how much control they have over their own emotions (Study 1). Second, they judge emotions that are miscalibrated to the situation as being more controllable than emotions that are well-calibrated (Studies 2-4). And third, they incorporate information about the sufferer’s general capacity to exert cognitive control over his or her emotions (Study 4). Judgments about others’ emotion control extend to real-life contexts: They predict self-reports of supportive and critical behaviors towards close others (Study 5) and they predict support for university policies aimed at reducing the prevalence of microaggressions (Study 6). Taken together, our findings suggest that people engage in emotion regulation regulation, in which they expect and enforce others to regulate their own emotions if they can, and track features of the person or situation that enable successful emotion regulation.
People can use the placement of objects to infer communicative goals
Authors: Lopez-Brau Michael , Jara-Ettinger Julian
Published: August 2020

Beyond words and gestures, people have a remarkable capacity to communicate indirectly through everyday objects: A hat on a chair can mean it is occupied, rope hanging across an entrance can mean we should not cross, and objects placed in a closed box can imply they are not ours to take. How do people generate and interpret the communicative meaning of objects? We hypothesized that this capacity is supported by social goal inference, where observers recover what social goal explains an object being placed in a particular location. To test this idea, we study a category of common ad-hoc communicative objects where a small cost is used to signal avoidance. Using computational modeling, we first show that goal inference from indirect physical evidence can give rise to the ability to use object placement to communicate. We then show that people from the U.S. and the Tsimane'—a farming-foraging group native to the Bolivian Amazon—can infer the communicative meaning of object placement in the absence of a pre-existing convention, and that people's inferences are quantitatively predicted by our model. Finally, we show evidence that people can store and retrieve this meaning for use in subsequent encounters, revealing a potential mechanism for how ad-hoc communicative objects become quickly conventionalized. Our model helps shed light on how humans use their ability to interpret other people's behavior to embed social meaning into the physical world.
Mindfulness Enhances Cognitive Functioning: A Meta-Analysis of 95 Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Zainal Nur Hani Hani , Newman Michelle G.
Published: August 2020

Background: The past 30 years have witnessed growing scientific interest regarding the impact of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on cognitive functions. Several theories propose that habitually exercising mindfulness skills can improve cognitive abilities, but no comprehensive quantitative reviews of the effect of MBIs on global and unique cognitive domains exist to date. Method: This systematic review thus examined the effects of MBI on global cognitive ability (GCA) and 16 specific cognitive domains. MBI randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that administered cognitive tests pre- and post-treatment were included. Open-trials, non-randomized MBIs, and case-control studies were excluded. Keywords included “mindful*,” AND “executive attention (EA),” OR “working memory (WM).” Robust variance estimation and moderator analyses were conducted. Results: Ninety-five RCTs (n = 7,408) met eligibility criteria. MBI (vs. waitlist or no-treatment) had small-to-moderate significant effects on GCA, WM accuracy, inhibition accuracy and latency, EA, sustained attention accuracy, processing speed, and subjective attentional control (SAC) (g = 0.24 – 0.52). Likewise, MBI (vs. active control) had small-to-moderate positive effects on GCA, orienting, EA, WM accuracy, sustained attention (indexed by intra-individual coefficient of variation), and SAC (average g = 0.17 – 0.41). Age, gender, study quality, treatment duration, publication year, retention, statistical analysis, and country, moderated some treatment effects. Publication bias analyses showed that reliable treatment effects were restricted to EA, WM accuracy, inhibition accuracy, sustained attention, and SAC, depending on the control group. Conclusion: MBIs confer notable neuropsychological benefits and dose-response effects on some specific (vs. global) cognitive domains. Limitations, theoretical, and applied implications are discussed. (Note: This paper has not been peer reviewed. Please do not copy or cite without author's permission.)
A Discourse Network Analysis of 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates’ Education Policy
Authors: Wang Yinying
Published: August 2020

This study aims to conduct a discourse network analysis of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates’ education policy proposals. Given the far-reaching influence of presidential election on education policy, this study applies discourses network analysis to uncover education policy coalitions of the 2020 presidential candidates. The results suggest Joe Biden had the highest degree centrality, meaning his education policies were the same with or similar to many other candidates. Moreover, the Democratic candidates’ proposed policies centered around school safety, universal pre-kindergarten programs, increased investment in school infrastructure, increased Title 1 funding, and free tuition and fees at 2- and 4-year public colleges. The findings provide timely insights into education policies over the 2020 presidential campaign.
Über was spricht die Politische Theorie? Eine Netzwerkanalyse der Zeitschrift für Politische Theorie (2010-2019)
Authors: Wallaschek Stefan
Published: August 2020

The article examines the terms and concepts discussed in the first decade of the publication of the Zeitschrift für Politische Theorie (ZPTh). For this purpose, the keywords of all research articles have been collected and edited to conduct a network analysis. The analysis focuses on the reconstruction of the discursive field of political theory. Two central results were identified: First, the keyword network forms an almost completely connected network, which, however, 'frays' at the discursive margins so that sub-discourses emerge. Second, the keywords 'democracy' and 'freedom' are particularly central to the network and form the core of the political theory debate. Nevertheless, discussions on populism and post-structuralist approaches are also found in the network, thus demonstrating the emergence of new concepts and themes. The political theory debate in the ZPTh thus partially exhibits a center-periphery structure and at the same time illustrates a high degree of pluralism in German-based political theory. The article contributes to self-reflection and understanding in the field of political theory and offers first empirical insights into the state of research and publication of German-based political theory.
Lifestyle and Mental Health Disruptions During COVID-19
Authors: Giuntella Giovanni , Hyde Kelly , Saccardo Silvia , Sadoff Sally
Published: August 2020

COVID-19 has affected daily life in unprecedented ways. Using a longitudinal dataset linking biometric and survey data from several cohorts of young adults before and during the pandemic (N=685), we document large disruptions to physical activity, sleep, time use, and mental health. At the onset of the pandemic, average steps decline from 9,400 to 4,600 steps per day, sleep increases by about 25-30 minutes per night, time spent socializing declines by over half to less than 30 minutes, and screen time more than doubles to over 5 hours per day. The proportion of participants at risk of clinical depression increases to 65%, over twice the rate in the same population prior to the pandemic. Our analyses suggest that disruption to physical activity is a leading risk factor for depression during the pandemic. However, restoration of those habits--either naturally or through policy intervention--has limited impact on restoring mental well-being.
Family Demographic Processes and In-Work Poverty: A Systematic Review
Authors: Polizzi Antonino , Struffolino Emanuela , Van Winkle Zachary
Published: August 2020

This article reviews ever published quantitative evidence on in-work poverty and family demographic processes in OECD and EU-28 countries. Despite the increasing attention to in-work poverty in Europe and beyond, a comprehensive and critical review on how family demographic processes shape in-work poverty risks is still missing. In this systematic review, we first provide a quantitative review of results from analyses that estimated the association between in-work poverty and parental home leaving, union formation, marriage, parenthood, and dissolution of non-marital and marital unions. This allows us to formulate tentative conclusions about whether and in which direction family demographic processes are associated with in-work poverty. Second, we discuss in detail conceptual and methodological advances in in-work poverty research, such as longitudinal analytical designs or attempts to make in-work poverty research more sensitive to policy context, gender, and the life course. Our review highlights theoretical and methodological challenges for future studies linking in-work poverty and family demography.

STUDY OF THE OPERATING MODES OF DRAINAGE LAYERS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Бубела А. В.  , Кватадзе А. І.
Published: August 2020

The work presents the study of working conditions of draining layers with crushed fraction 20 – 40 mm, and with medium grained sand in complex with tubular transverse shallow drainage. Investigations have been carried out on the construction of a road structure, the dimensions of which correspond to the field conditions. Investigations measured the amount of drained water from the trench and the time it was drained. On the basis of the results obtained, the operating modes of the drainage structures are determined, which depends on the properties of the fillers and the withdrawal time. Both types of construction are divided into short-term and long-term modes in terms of water discharge intensity. According to these regimes, the average discharge intensity of each type of drainage structure was determined and differed significantly. The work of two drainage structures was also analyzed: the drainage structure with the gravel layer worked on the drainage principle, as opposed to the drainage structure with the sand layer - on the absorption principle.
URBAN STRUCTURE OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA IN THE CONTEXT OF FORMATION OF A NEW TYPE OF URBAN FABRIC
Authors: Andriy Pavliv
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this article is to outline the changes and phenomena within the urban planning structure of the San Francisco bay area, which can be interpreted as impulses associated with the emergence of new post-industrial urban forms. Formation of the theory of impulse modeling of an urban organism requires not only theoretical generalizations and study of the material relating to the peculiarities of the post-industrial (informational) era, but also the search for practical phenomena associated with the rapid development of certain urban areas. At the same time, such development should not be confused with the concept of polycentrism, which was formed during the period of modernism.

Clinical, instrumental and neuropsychological examination was carried out in 110 patients with chronic brain ischemia of the 2nd degree on the background of hypertension of the 2nd stage. The subjects were divided into 2 groups based on gender. Signs of venous cerebral dishelie valley significantly more cases in the group of women. It is shown that the group of women with cerebral venous Disgaea more patients had cognitive impairment (MMSE scale). Also, the low rate of induced cognitive potentials in the brain (the method of cognitive evoked potentials) was more pronounced in women than in men. It should be assumed that in hypertensive disease, the presence of concomitant cerebral venous dysfunction aggravates the course of cerebral ischemia, especially in women.

The long short story “In the trenches of Stalingrad” by V.P. Nekrasov and heroic and patriotic traditions of the Russian classics
Authors: Perevalova S.V.
Published: August 2020

. The article is devoted to the influence of the Russian heroic traditions on characters
of the long short story “In the trenches of Stalingrad” (the original edition in 1946) by V.P. Nekrasov, who took part in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942–1943 years. Today the creative legacy of the writer, who had to immigrate in 1974 due to ideological disagreements with authorities, has returned to readers of our country and the story under analyses is included in the school and universities Curricular. It is of big value in patriotic education of the young, because the artistic image of the young commander of the Red Army, the author-narrator in the story “In the trenches of Stalingrad”, clearly discloses the process of the spiritual growth of the defender of motherland. The historical and functional method of research allows to show features of perception by characters, soldiers of the Stalingrad front, of works of the Russian classical literature, primarily those, which were created by talented authors and combat officers – M.Yu. Lermontov and L.N. Tolstoy, who experienced the severity of the front life and the soldier’s duty. The system method of research allows to study all the elements of the work: the title, the system of characters, the author’s position – in unity, leading to the conclusion: in the year of the Anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War the growing readers’ attention to this work is explained by the fact that the characters’ dispositions are viewed in the context of centuries-old Russian national culture, which during the Battle of Stalingrad was more important for the Red Army soldiers than ideological calls and slogans.
Methodology for studying A.T. Tvardovsky’s lyrical cycle “In Mother’s Memory” in the 11th grade
Authors: Bichurina S.M.
Published: August 2020

This article is one of a series of the author’s works devoted to the study of lyrical cycles
in high school lessons in Literature. The described methodology is based on the textual concept worked out by E.A. Sterjopulu that is adapted to the school environment. According to this concept, the lyrical cycle is considered as a system of poetic texts that has a number of features: interrelatedness, inter-complementation, valency and cohesiveness. Based on the listed literary concepts, the author of the article builds the logic of work with the cycle at the lesson, examines and describes several ways of studying the lyrical cycle in literature classes at school: 1) linear, or “following the author”, when the writing elements included in the cycle are analyzed sequentially; 2) “concentric”, when one, as a rule, the central (dominant) poem is examined in detail, and
semantic threads extend from it to the others; 3) a special version of the “concentric” logic, when the image (images) or motive (motives) that consolidates the poems is in the focus of attention. This article presents the way these models can be implemented in the course of studying A.T. Tvardovsky’s cycle "In Мother’s Memory". The paper presents a system of questions and tasks that organize the activities of the teacher and students in the classroom, as well as detailed comments on them. The result of such lessons is that students are able to understand the cycle as a holistic unit that has a meta-meaning. This, in its turn, contributes to the development not only of the competence in reading, but also of the systematic thinking.
The image of the teacher of literature in the poems of students’ In Memoriam
Authors: Lazarev Yu.V.
Published: August 2020

The article is devoted to the daily life of a Russian language teacher. A peculiar and
insufficiently studied source of everyday life description is the poems In Memoriam. We have analyzed poems published in various sources and dedicated to famous language teachers of the late XIX – early XX centuries: V.I. Vodovozov, S.A. Varsher, V.P. Ostrogorsky, P.V. Smirnovsky. The purpose of the work is to reconstruct the perception of the image of a language teacher in the In Memoriam poems of students’. The article uses a comparative historical research method, recruits memoirs, introduces previously little-known materials to the scientific community. It is revealed that the poems In Memoriam have a single organization principle: The emphasis in them is put on the perception of the death of the teacher and the teacher himself. At the same time, personal qualities and biography facts are mentioned in a condensed form. The authors do not create specific images of their heroes (one can only catch the real traits), but artistically recreate the image of the teacher with his set of virtues. Poems have a specific emotional coloring: the motives of sadness, grief, irreplaceability of loss dominate in them; there is a combination of motives for passing away and immortality. At the same time, the primary attention is paid specifically to the teaching merits of the educators’, their role in shaping the spiritual world of their students. It is established that the category of memory is the most important in the system of artistic coordinates of all works. It is concluded that all the poems are united by the author’s understanding of the personality and fate of the teacher of literature, expressed in them, and the works of memorial poetry can supplement the overall picture of the history of school literary education.

Published: August 2020

The article considers the processes of quantitative measurement of the level of somatic health of first year students within adapting period to the educational environment of the University. The aim of the study is to assess the dynamics of the state of students’ somatic health in different periods of training. The study involved 68 students of the main and preparatory groups of the 1st year of the Volgograd State Technical University faculty of Economics and management, with an average age of 18.6±0.76 years. The results of diagnostics and evaluation of physical development, level of physical fitness and functional state of technical University students are presented. The study was organized on the basis of scientific papers in the field of adaptation processes and somatic health R.M. Baevsky (1979), G.L. Apanasenko (1988), N.M. Amosov (1998), E.N. Weiner (2001). Physical fitness testing was based on the use of testing and scoring standards of the curriculum of the Department of physical education. For a comprehensive evaluation of the physical condition E.A. Pirogova’s method was used (1986). The evaluation parameters of somatic health of first year students has changed relative to the periods of study. The lowest rates were observed in the period of admission to the University by the end of the school year, the average during the session, while high — after a period of rest over the holidays. As a result, conclusions are drawn about the need to monitor health factors in order to prevent failures of adaptive indicators that lead to disease. This kind of research monitoring should become a mandatory and permanent event in physical education classes at the University.

The article presents a non-traditional form of knowledge control of master’s students in the direction of 44.04.01 “Pedagogical education”, profile “Physical education”. The authors worked out a system of additional tasks to test the knowledge gained by students during the development of the discipline “School physical experiment”. Each task is a small experimental study. To implement a differentiated approach to knowledge control, tasks are offered in three levels of complexity. The article provides several examples of such tasks and their possible solutions. To teach master’s students non-traditional forms of control, they are invited not only to independently do an experimental task and present the results of their work, but also to evaluate the work of other students using specially designed tables. When assessing the formed experimental skills of students, the professor takes into account both types of activity.
Keywords: training of physics teachers, non-traditional forms of knowledge control, individual approach, multi-level experimental tasks.

Published: August 2020

Background:

Processing speed, which can be assessed using the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), is central to many brain functions. Processing speed declines with advanced age but substantial impairments are indicative of brain injury or disease.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to provide SDMT normative data for older community-dwelling individuals in the U.S. and Australia.

Methods:

The ASPREE trial recruited 19,114 relatively healthy older men and women in Australia and the U.S. from the general community. All participants were without a diagnosis of dementia and with a Modified Mini-Mental State examination score of 78 or more at enrolment. The SDMT was administered at baseline as part of a neuropsychological test battery.

Results:

The median age of participants was 74 years (range 65–99), and 56% were women. The median years of education was 12. Ethno-racial differences in SDMT performance were observed and normative data were thus presented separately for 16,289 white Australians, 1,082 white Americans, 891 African-Americans, and 316 Hispanic/Latinos. There were consistent positive associations found between SDMT and education level, and negative associations between SDMT and age. Mean scores for women were consistently higher than men with the exception of Hispanic/Latinos aged ≥70 years.

Conclusion:

This study provides comprehensive SDMT normative data for whites (Australian and U.S.), Hispanic/Latinos, and African-Americans, according to gender, age, and education level. These norms can be used clinically as reference standards to screen for cognitive impairments in older individuals.
Identity of historical localities in information systems1
Authors: Garbacz Pawel , Szady Bogumił , Ławrynowicz Agnieszka
Published: August 2020

The paper discusses the problem of diachronic criteria of identity for historic localities. We argue that such criteria are needed not just for the sake of ontological clarity but also are indispensable for database management and maintenance. Our survey of the current research in database management and engineering ontology literature found no satisfactory candidates thereof. Therefore we attempt to search for such criteria in the historic-geographical scholarship by exposing the ontological assumptions the researchers made there and by stating them explicitly. This attempt consisted of us presenting a number of brief scenarios taken from the historical studies whereby localities are claimed to maintain their identity through certain types of change or to be destroyed due to other types of change. Generalising these cases we provide a tentative formulation of the criterion and discuss its limitations.

BACKGROUND: Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.), known as “golden fruit”, has excellent potential for immune-regulation, anti-inflammation and anti-cancer due to its health-promoting secondary metabolites. The lack of genetic information in public databases has been a constraint for the genetic improvement of red raspberry. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of the work was to find the key genes relating with the secondary metabolite pathways. METHODS: De novo assembly transcriptome sequencing of red raspberry (‘Heritage’ variety) fruit in different development stages was performed using an Illumina Hiseq platform. Transcriptome was obtained by the de novo assembly through Trinity assembler. Coding sequences were successfully characterized using databases including non-redundant protein (NR), euKaryotic Ortholog Groups of proteins (KOG), Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript sequence per Million base pairs sequenced (FPKM) method was used to calculate the differentially expressed unigenes. RESULTS: In total, 205,880 unigenes with an average length of 1120 bp and an N50 of 2005 bp were obtained, of which 182,443 unigenes were annotated. Non redundant (NR) annotation showed that a majority of the best hits (58.6%) are wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca). Additionally, the unigenes were also annotated in euKaryotic Ortholog Groups of proteins database and Gene ontology database, and mapped the KEGG pathways. We predicted that 8331 TFs from the unigenes database and these TFs were classified into 94 different common families. The major families were associated with the C2H2 (9.19%), followed by the C3H (4.60%), MYB-related group (4.23%), bZIP (4.13%) and B3 (4.03%). These results were considered to be involved in the regulation of metabolic and secondary metabolic biosynthesis. Totally, 3,369, 3,461 and 441 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in period 2 vs period 1, period 3 vs period 2 and period 4 vs period 3 paired comparisons, respectively. These DEGs were analyzed based on BLASTx, which were mapped to 22 KEGG pathways associating with secondary metabolites during red raspberry fruit ripening, involving anthocyanin biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthesis, etc. To validate the high-throughput sequencing results, six target genes involved in secondary metabolite pathways of red raspberry fruit were tested by qRT-PCR. The results of qRT-PCR assay were generally consistent with the results of RNA sequencing. CONCLUSION: The transcriptome sequencing of the red raspberry fruit at different development stage in this study enriched the genetic information resources of this variety, and will discover the genes relating with secondary metabolic pathways, benefiting to engineer high-quality plants with enhanced active ingredients.

BACKGROUND: Obesity occurs due to a positive energy imbalance, leading to the expansion of adipose tissue. This phenomenon triggers a chronic low-grade inflammatory state, which is associated with comorbidities development. It is, therefore, of great interest to investigate new counteracting nutritional strategies. In this regard, polyphenol-rich Chilean native fruits, Aristotelia chilensis (Maqui) and Berberis microphylla (Calafate), and also the non-Chilean Vaccinium corymbosum (Blueberry), have been associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate Maqui, Calafate, and Blueberry aqueous extracts treatments on the pathogenic response of human activated macrophages and visceral adipocytes. METHODS: THP-1 monocyte human cell line and differentiated human visceral preadipocytes were activated (with lipopolysaccharide and TNF-α, for 48 and 24 h, respectively), and treated with the aqueous extracts. Inflammation and oxidative stress markers were assessed. RESULTS: Lower NO and IL-6 secretion, and inhibited apoptosis in activated macrophages, were observed. Also, decreased gene expression of MCP-1 and secretion of IL-6, inhibited apoptosis, and increased levels of GSH in activated adipocytes were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Maqui, Calafate, and Blueberry extracts showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses in human macrophages and adipocytes.

Authors: Alcalde Cristina , Burusco Ana
Published: August 2020

Information extracted from L-fuzzy contexts is substantially improved by taking into account different points of view, which can roughly be represented by criteria. This work addresses the general study of L-fuzzy contexts were a set of criteria is introduced, analyzing situations in which their evolution over time is known. The relationship among criteria is also an important point in the study. In this sense, the treatment will vary depending on whether they are independent criteria or there exists dependency among them. Of special importance will be those elements that stand out for presenting a positive temporal evolution. Four algorithms are proposed in order to analyze the different situations. Finally, the applicability of the results is shown thought an example where the opinion of the clients of several hotels is analyzed taking into account both the type of traveler considered and the different aspects of the establishments on which a score is given.

Published: August 2020

Considering both cardinal characteristics and double powers, the anti-symmetric interval excess value is defined. The least square pre-nucleolus for interval cooperative games is presented by making a single-objective programming model. We obtain the analytic expression of least square pre-nucleolus using Lagrange multiplier method, and construct an effective quadratic programming model to derive the least square pre-nucleolus of incomplete interval cooperative games. In addition, the application of least square pre-nucleolus in land pollution control is provided to show the validity of the proposed solution concepts.

BACKGROUND:

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) constitutes a public health emergency globally. The number of infected people and deaths are proliferating every day, which is putting tremendous pressure on our social and healthcare system. Rapid detection of COVID-19 cases is a significant step to fight against this virus as well as release pressure off the healthcare system.

OBJECTIVE:

One of the critical factors behind the rapid spread of COVID-19 pandemic is a lengthy clinical testing time. The imaging tool, such as Chest X-ray (CXR), can speed up the identification process. Therefore, our objective is to develop an automated CAD system for the detection of COVID-19 samples from healthy and pneumonia cases using CXR images.

METHODS:

Due to the scarcity of the COVID-19 benchmark dataset, we have employed deep transfer learning techniques, where we examined 15 different pre-trained CNN models to find the most suitable one for this task.

RESULTS:

A total of 860 images (260 COVID-19 cases, 300 healthy and 300 pneumonia cases) have been employed to investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm, where 70% images of each class are accepted for training, 15% is used for validation, and rest is for testing. It is observed that the VGG19 obtains the highest classification accuracy of 89.3% with an average precision, recall, and F1 score of 0.90, 0.89, 0.90, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of deep transfer learning techniques for the identification of COVID-19 cases using CXR images.
