ABSTRACT This scientific note presents preliminary developments of the Covid-19 pandemic on unemployment, poverty, and hunger in Brazil. The data on unemployment rate, un employment insurance claims, contingent of families in extreme poverty, and food insecurity was collected in government information systems, research published by public agencies, scientific articles, and in news portals. In an upward trajectory since 2015, the increase in unemployment and the number of families in extreme poverty was exacerbated after the pandemic began, drastically reducing the purchase power and access to healthy and adequate food, affecting mainly women and the populations of the Northern and Northeastern regions. Between January and September 2020, there was a 3% increase in unemployment in Brazil and, in October 2020, there were almost 485 thousand more families in extreme poverty compared to January of the same year. There are inadequate and insufficient responses from the Brazilian government to the articulated set of problems. The Covid-19 pandemic is a new element that potentiates the recent increase in hunger in Brazil, which occurs in parallel with the dismantling of the Food and Nutrition Security programs and the expansion of fiscal austerity measures, started with the political-economic crisis in 2015. There is an urgent need to recover the centrality of the agenda to fight hunger in Brazil, associated with the development of more robust contributions on the impact of the pandemic on the phenomena of poverty and hunger.

REST and Stress Resistance in the Aging Kidney
Authors: Magassa Sato , Aron Liviu , Hoguin Clément , Isnard Pierre , Terzi Fabiola , Legendre Christophe , Yankner Bruce A. , Canaud Guillaume
Published: June 2021

Significance Statement

Aging slowly alters kidney function, with progressive nephron reduction leading to metabolic and mechanical constraints for the remaining nephrons. Podocytes, due to their anatomic location, are particularly exposed to aging-related stress. Knowledge of biological mechanisms behind podocyte adaptation is limited. We identified REST, a repressor of neuronal genes, as a key player in nephron adaptation to aging. Innovative tools demonstrate that REST acts on the podocyte cytoskeleton, promoting resistance to mechanical stressors, and that REST regulates podocyte survival. Finally, REST expression is upregulated in human podocytes during aging, consistent with a conserved mechanism of stress resistance. This study suggests REST protects the kidney from injury and degeneration during aging, with potentially important therapeutic implications.

Background

CKD is associated with the loss of functional nephr ons, leading to increased mechanical and metabolic stress in the remaining cells, particularly for cells constituting the filtration barrier, such as podocytes. The failure of podocytes to mount an adequate stress response can lead to further nephron loss and disease progression. However, the mechanisms that regulate this degenerative process in the kidney are unknown.

Methods

We combined in vitro, in vivo, and organ-on-chip approaches to identify the RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST), a repressor of neuronal genes during embryonic development, as a central regulator of podocyte adaptation to injury and aging.

Results

Mice with a specific deletion of REST in podocytes exhibit albuminuria, podocyte apoptosis, and glomerulosclerosis during aging, and exhibit increased vulnerability to renal injury. This phenotype is mediated, in part, by the effects of REST on the podocyte cytoskeleton that promote resistance to mechanical stressors and augment podocyte survival. Finally, REST expression is upregulated in human podocytes during aging, consistent with a conserved mechanism of stress resistance.

Conclusions

These results suggest REST protects the kidney from injury and degeneration during aging, with potentially important therapeutic implications.

Prospects and Challenges of Afan Oromo: A Commentary
Authors: Walga Tamene Keneni
Published: June 2021

Afan Oromo- the language of the Oromo- is also known as Oromo. The word ‘Oromo’ refers to both the People of Oromo and their language. It is one of the widely spoken indigenous African languages. It is also spoken in multiple countries in Africa including Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Tanzania among others. Moreover, it is spoken as a native language, second language and lingua-franca across Ethiopia and beyond. Regardless of its scope in terms of number of speakers and geographical area it covers, Afan Oromo as a literary language is only emerging  due to perpetuating unfair treatment it received from successive Ethiopian regimes. This commentary sought to examine prospects and challenges of Afan Oromo. To this end, drawing on existing literature and author’s own personal observations, salient prospects and challenges of Afan Oromo have been presented and briefly discussed. Suggestions to confront the challenges foreseen have been proposed by the author where deemed necessary. The paper concludes with author’s concluding remarks concerning the way forward.

Introduction: Humeral shaft fractures represent 1–3% of all the fractures coming in our OPD.These fractures are mostly treated conservatively. Both the plate fixation and nailing techniques arebeing used but plate fixation has the advantage of lesser rates of malunion and non-union. Ourstudy aimed to evaluate the results of plate fixation in our hospital that employs plate fixation as thegolden standard. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all patientstreated for a humeral shaft fracture in our hospital (District Hospital Vidisha associated with ABVMedical College, Vidisha between July 2018 and June 2020 with a mean follow-up of 6 months.Results: Plate fixation was performed in 40 patients with a humeral shaft fracture. The mean agewas 50 (SD 20) years with 60 % (n = 24) being male. There were 55 % (n = 22) fractures in theright and 45 % (n =18) fractures in the left. None of the patients develops superficial surgical siteinfection. Complications like Radial Nerve palsy, Deep surgical site infections and Non-union occurredin 2.5 % (n = 1), 2.5 % (n = 1) and 5 % (n = 2) of patients, respectively. The median duration ofradiological fracture healing was 18 (range 10–42) weeks. Conclusion: Plate fixation for humeralshaft fractures has low risks of complications. The complications can be further minimized withgreater surgical expertise.

Authors: Sawicki Antoni
Published: June 2021

The article presents the justified use of functions containing the exponential component for the approximation of the static current-voltage characteristics of electric arc. The Author proposed a new function approximating the above-named characteristics which were next used in the mathematical Mayr-Pentegov model, expressed in two, i.e. differential and integral, forms. The two forms constituted the basis enabling the development of macromodels using controlled voltage and current sources. The article also presents families of dynamic current-voltage characteristics obtained through the simulation of processes in a circuit containing macromodels of arc powered by the source of current characterised by sinusoidal and trapezoidal waveforms and various frequency. The article demonstrates the usability of the proposed variants of the Mayr-Pentegov model.

Published: June 2021

The results of investigation of features of morphofunctional state of cardiovascular system in adolescents with manifestations of metabolic syndrome depending on presence of hyperuricemia are presented. In the cardiorheumatology department of the hospital, 34 adolescent patients were observed. Criteria for inclusion in the study: the presence of increased blood pressure levels, increased body mass index values. Depending on serum uric acid levels, patients were divided into two groups: group 1 patients without hyperuricemia (n = 18) and group 2 patients with hyperuricemia (n = 16). Functional diagnostic methods were used: standard 12-channel electrocardiography, transtoral echocardiography, daily Holter monitoring. The main attention was paid to the study of the parameters of the left ventricle. Students t-test was used to determine the significance of the differences, the results at p 0.05 were considered reliable. It was established that adolescents with hyperuricemia were more often diagnosed with primary and secondary arterial hypertension, less often with labile arterial hypertension and autonomic dysfunction syndrome by hypertensive type, and adolescents without hyperuricemia were equally often diagnosed with primary arterial hypertension and labile arterial hypertension, autonomic dysfunction syndrome by hypertensive type. Signs of left ventricular remodeling according to echocardiography were more often noted in boys without hyperuricemia (62.5% of cases) than in girls without hyperuricemia (10%; p 0.01) and in boys with hyperuricemia (26.7%; p 0,05). The findings indicated more significant changes in the morphofunctional state of the cardiovascular system in adolescents with hypertensive conditions and manifestations of metabolic syndrome without hyperuricemia, which requires further study.

Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the research of the development of motor skills of premature babies on the background of medical rehabilitation in an outpatient-polyclinic and the determination of the age standard (scale) for the development of motor skills of premature babies. The research includes 137 premature babies with the gestational age from 26 to 37 weeks, birth weight from 800 to 2600 grams. The main group of the research consisted of 117 premature babies who had already took a part in the early and complex rehabilitation, the control group which consisted 20 children who were included in the research because of a history of prematurity and who applied to the rehabilitation department with already established disabilities (the health status of premature babies in the control group was studied retrospectively). Premature babies in the control group began medical rehabilitation after 6 or more months of life and did not receive it in full. The assessment of the motor skills of premature babies was carried out in dynamics on the monthly basis. Of the 117 premature babies of the main group 2.5% had motor disorders that led to disability, the premature babies of the control group reached disability in 100% of cases. The research of motor development of premature babies revealed that with a delay in applying for medical rehabilitation, even for one day, the integrated indicator of the relative deviation of actual skills development from the standard increases by 0.9%.

Authors: Lagno Olga V. , Turkunova Maria E. , Bashnina Elena B.
Published: June 2021

Central precocious puberty occupies an important place in the practice of a pediatric endocrinologist. If the patient reveals signs of premature sexual development, the diagnostic search is aimed at eliminating the tumor origin of both false (peripheral) and gonadotropin-dependent, or central, precocious puberty, as well as gonadotropin-independent forms of premature sexual development. Oncological alertness is important in the work of not only a pediatric endocrinologist, but also a pediatrician. In the treatment of all non-tumor forms of central precocious puberty, drugs of the group of analogues of gonadotropin-releasing hormone are used, which allows to stop the progression of sexual development, reduce the rate of bone maturation and, thereby, increase the final growth of the child. The most common idiopathic variant of central precocious puberty. The article presents a clinical case of observing a patient with an idiopathic variant of central premature sexual development during therapy with a drug from the group of analogues of gonadotropin releasing hormone of prolonged action. The classical course of the idiopathic variant of central precocious puberty with typical diagnostic difficulties in the onset of the disease, good compensation against the background of therapy with a drug from the group of agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and normal puberty 612 months after cancellation of the therapy is demonstrated. The latter is explained by the proven reversibility of the effects of this group of drugs. The description of this clinical case, in the authors opinion, should be of interest to doctors at the local pediatricians and pediatricians working in the medical care departments for children in educational institutions.
Site-Response Analysis Using the Shear-Wave Velocity Profile Correction Approach
Authors: Williams Tessa , Abrahamson Norman
Published: June 2021

The traditional approach used to incorporate site response into the ground-motion hazard analysis is to compute a design spectrum for a rock-site condition and then propagate the rock motion from the base of the soil model to the surface. The main limitation with this approach is that it can be inconsistent with the ground-motion models (GMMs) used to develop the input rock motion. The VS profile implicit in the GMMs is unlikely to match the site-specific VS profile (value and gradient), because the GMMs were developed for ground motions from different VS profiles over large regions and are unlikely to match the profile of any one site well. This article presents the VS profile correction method for developing surface ground motions as an alternative to the soil-over-rock approach routinely used in earthquake engineering practice. This approach is similar to the standard soil-over-rock analysis, but uses different input motions and involves performing two site response analyses—one for the generic profile associated with the GMM(s) and one for the site-specific profile—then applying the ratio of the two site response analysis results to correct the design spectrum for the reference site condition developed using the GMMs. Two example applications are included to illustrate the VS profile correction methodology as well as some of the challenges that may arise when doing so.
Short-Period Surface-Wave Tomography in the Continental United States—A Resource for Research
Authors: Herrmann Robert B. , Ammon Charles J. , Benz Harley M. , Aziz-Zanjani Asiye , Boschelli Joshua
Published: June 2021

The variation of phase and group velocity dispersion of Love and Rayleigh waves was determined for the continental United States and adjacent Canada. By processing ambient noise from the broadband channels of the Transportable Array (TA) of USArray and several Program for the Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere experiments and using some earthquake recordings, the effort was focused on determining dispersion down to periods as short as 2 s. The relatively short distances between TA stations permitted the use of a 25  km×25  km grid for the four independent tomographic inversions (Love and Rayleigh and phase and group velocity). One reason for trying to obtain short-period dispersion was to have a data set capable of constraining upper crust velocity models for use in determining regional moment tensors. The benefit of focusing on short-period dispersion is apparent in the tomography maps—shallow geologic structures such as the Mid-Continent Rift, and the Michigan, Illinois, Anadarko, Arkoma, and Appalachian basins are imaged. In our processing, we noted that the phase velocities were more robustly determined than the group velocities. We also noted that the inability to obtain dispersion at short periods shows distinct regional patterns that may be related to the local upper crust structure.

Published: June 2021

Indonesia, with 87.18% Of Muslims, has a high zakat potential reaching 217 trillion per year. However, the law and various ways suggested by experts still fail in collecting zakat. Through the data of collecting zakat, which only reaches 1.2%, therefore, a new approach and way are needed to maximize the collection of zakat. Research with observations, documentation, and interviews found that murshid tariqat has a strategic role in maximizing zakat collection. Murshid had a strong influence on students. Students' adherence to murshid in religious and socio-political affairs reached an average of 98%. The readiness of students' obedience in terms of zakat reached 100%. The high compliance and willingness to comply is a reasonable step to maximize the murshid order's strategic role in collecting zakat. Murshid's strategic step in collecting zakat can be maximized through four stages; first, establishing institutions amil zakat infaq and sadaqah; second, socialization and education about the law and wisdom of zakat, third professionalism ammil, fourth, distribution of zakat transparent and on target
Media Paradigms and Programmed Code of Values Orientation in Adolescence
Authors: Radović Vladeta , Ljajić Samir , Dojčinović Milan
Published: June 2021

Many studies on media show that apart from family, school and peer groups media get imposed as agents of socialization influencing models of behavior, life styles establishment and young people’s code of values formation. This research is dedicated to the range of adolescents’ interests, i.e. the influence of informative, educational and distractive media contents. The research findings show that the use of television and the internet occupies everyday activities of the subjects in their spare time, and that it remarkably influences their attitudes and code of values formation. Modern media paradigms promote competences over competitions, diminish codes of values and blur the border line between the good and bad, animal and humanistic. The manipulative media features are getting more dynamic, natural and tougher.

Authors: Sim Yi C. , Mohd-Rosli Intan S. , Lau Boon T. , Ng Siew Y.
Published: June 2021

Background: Patient satisfaction is one of the essential indicators for assessing the quality of healthcare services being delivered, including pharmacy ambulatory care service, as it determines the practicability and sustainability of the service provided. As such, pharmaceutical care services provided during medication therapy adherence clinic (MTAC) sessions need to be assessed to maximise its effectiveness and benefits to the patients.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between patient satisfaction and socio-demographic characteristics, as well as the predictors for patient satisfaction.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the medical outpatient department in Hospital Port Dickson from January until October 2019. Convenience sampling method was used to recruit potential study participants. Patient satisfaction was measured using Validated Patient Satisfaction with Pharmacist Services Questionnaire (PSPSQ2.0), consisted of quality of care and interpersonal relationship between pharmacist and patient domains. Descriptive data were presented as mean and standard deviation or numbers and percentages, while Independent Sample t-test, ANOVA and post-hoc analysis, and multiple linear regression were used for inferential data analysis.

Results: There were 37 (25%) diabetes MTAC, 36 (24.3%) respiratory MTAC, and 75 (50.7%) warfarin MTAC patients recruited. On average, the mean overall satisfaction score was 3.30(SD=0.43). The mean satisfaction score in the interpersonal relationship domain [3.35(SD=0.44)] was higher than the quality of care domain [3.26(SD=0.45)]. There was a significant association between gender, education level, and patient satisfaction towards pharmaceutical care service (p<0.05). Gender and education level statistically predicted respondents' satisfaction with MTAC services (p<0.001).

Conclusions: The overall patient satisfaction towards MTAC services in this setting was high. Gender and education level were significant predictors for patient satisfaction. These findings could potentially contribute to the planning of MTAC services in the future.

The conclusion has been made that the process of civil socialization of youth in conditions of postmodern information society involves the youth’s adoption of social norms regulating the relations of power (laws, ideas, political values and civil society values), self-identification with certain political groups, integration and implementation of active patterns of political behavior. The result of civil socialization is the formation of civic-mindedness, which is a multilevel information and communication process that includes both the formation of the civil identity of an individual and the development of legal consciousness, political and civil culture. Therefore, civic-mindedness is tightly connected with the opportunities for the realization of rights and freedoms, the exercise of civil duties, and the formation of civil solidarity.

Between the Projection of Danger, Objectification, and Exploitation. Medical Examination of Polish Civilian Forced Laborers before their Deportation into the German Reich
Authors: Hallama Eva
Published: June 2021

Before crossing the German border, Polish civilian forced laborers who had been recruited for work in Nazi Germany had to undergo medical examination and delousing. The German authorities wanted to ensure that they deported only able-bodied persons to Germany who had been examined for being free from infectious diseases and vermin. In this paper, I explore to what extent the medical examinations may be regarded as strategies for the objectification and dehumanization of the forced laborers. Focus is put on the question of how the Nazi authorities defined “work ability” because the medical assessment was decisive for the choice and selection of foreign manpower. As it turns out, the definition of work ability was essentially determined by factors such as the need for manpower, force, and oppression. Thus, I put the medical assessment of the forced laborers’ work ability into the context of Nazi ideology and economic policy.

The purpose of this article is to outline the prospects for solving a number of conceptual problems in the psychology of professional and career development of a personality based on the implementation of a structural-level approach tothe analysis of this process. The article examines the grounds that determine the need and the possibility of developing a structural-level approach to the psychological analysis of the professional formation of a personality, reveals its content and main provisions. The necessity of using it to overcome the artificial opposition of ontogenetic and professional genetic approaches to the professional development of a personality is substantiated. The possibilities of the structurallevel approach are demonstrated on the example of studying the problem of periodization of professional development, the problem of the relationship between monocyclic and polycyclic in the course of professionalization, the problem of interaction between specialization and universalization in the process of professionalization, and the problem of classification of normative crises of professional development. Various types of periodization of professional development are analyzed, their weak and strong sides are identified. It has been proved that only level periodization reflects the real patterns of professionalization and is the basis for its diagnosis and design. The psychological content of polycyclic and monocyclic professionalization is clarified, their functions are revealed. It has been established that they complement and do not contradict each other, and their manifestation is closely related to the peculiarities of economic relations. It is shown that the psychological mechanisms of polycyclic and monocyclic are of a level nature. The psychological mechanisms of specialization and universalization are specified. It has been revealed that they are manifested at different levels of professionalization. The determinative basis of specialization is the person-profession system, and universalization is the person-world system. The approach to the classification of the normative crises of professionalization is analyzed. The contradictions of the existing classification are shown. It has been proved that there are two main types of regulatory crises: the crises of labor and the crises of the professional path, which refer to different levels of professionalization.

The article discusses the motivational and personal characteristics of students in various fields of study from the standpoint of the mode «being» and the mode «having» (E. Fromm). In the modern world, there is a shift in the direction of development of young people’s personal traits from the mode «being» to the mode «having», which negatively affects the training of specialists in the «person – person» system. A specialist who has deep knowledge, but is more focused on material benefits, as opposed to a commitment to return, to help people, can be ineffective in many critical professional situations. The success of professional activity largely depends on psychological support during professional development, in particular, during the student period.This article presents research on the motivational and personal sphere (Milman's method) and the severity of indicators of intrapersonal conflict, as one of the possible factors of professional development (E. Fantalova's method) in students of managers, psychologists and various medical fields of study. Different levels of intrapersonal conflict, different total indicators of the main motives of students in different areas of study were identified. There were no significant differences between the groups of students in the mode of being and the mode of having. The analysis of the obtained factor matrix allowed us to determine the «mode of being» and «mode of having» with characteristic main motives and intrapersonal disintegration. Therefore, the purpose of psychological support at the stage of professional education is the student's awareness of their potential, prospects for personal and professional growth, the desire to search, creativity, and experimentation. A crucial element of this situation of professional development is the ability and necessity to make a choice, which means to feel your freedom, on the one hand, and your responsibility for everything that happens and will happen, on the other
Impressions for sale: modern trends in сonsumer culture
Authors:   Russian institute of culturology, Moscow, Shapinskaya Ekaterina N.
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the dynamics of modern сonsumer culture, in which the emphasis shifts from goods and services to the impression. In this regard, the concepts of event marketing and impression marketing, widely used both in modern literature and in training courses, are understood. The analysis of modern cultural practices shows that they are designed according to the market laws and use marketing strategies applied to the material sphere, as a result of which «pseudo-events» come to the fore. Particular attention is given to the strategies of modern cultural institutions that create events to attract new visitors, as well as the role of social networks in drawing the attention of the general public to cultural events. In this regard, theories developed by cultural researchers are considered, critically analyzing the general trend of modern culture towards commercialization, spectacularity and entertainment. The importance of the concept of the cultural industry developed by the theorists of the Frankfurt School, as well as the works of J. Baudrillard and G Debord, revealing the essence of the simulative nature of сonsumer culture is emphasized. A number of conclusions is drawn regarding modern trends in сonsumer culture, which includes cultural production, as well as the inability of modern humanitarian discourse to conceptualize these phenomena using existing methods and approaches. This is confirmed by the fact that the critical theories of mass culture and сonsumer culture developed in the last century have not been continued in modern cultural thought, while the work of marketers is gaining increasing popularity and recognition. In these conditions, sociohumanitary knowledge needs to develop a new tool for analyzing dynamic processes in modern culture.
