Published: May 2020

The current epidemiological situation due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affects many clinical aspects of managing patients with acute and chronic pain. Currently problems and controversies arise regarding treatment of acute pain and fever associated with the viral infection itself, introducing and / or continuing analgesics and coanalgesics, drug safety and possible interactions, conducting invasive procedures for pain management, follow-up at the pain clinic and possible chronic pain as a complication of the viral infection. The team of PASP experts have developed the position statement concerning the above-listed clinical issues in accordance with contemporary literature.
The Cooperation of the Police Academy
in Szczytno with Polish Security and Public
Order Formations
Authors: Lubiewski Paweł
Published: May 2020

The Police Academy in Szczytno has a long and very variable history. Over the years, in place of existing militia schools
of a military nature, new ones have been created, which were to meet the didactic needs of the then Civic Militia. Political changes
from the early 1990s brought a wave of reforms in various areas of social and political life in The Republic of Poland. Serious reforms
also concerned the security and public order authorities, including the newly appointed Police. A number of major changes were
introduced to the level of police education, and in particular in the newly established Police Academy in Szczytno. These were not
only formal changes, but ones that actually diametrically changed the profile and functioning of the academy. It was on the wave
of these changes that the academy boldly started, and in the following years intensively developed, cooperation with Polish security
and public order formations, to an extent that had not been done here until then. In this article, the author wishes to demonstrate,
in a synthetic way, the participation of the academy in the process of improving the staff of the Polish security and public order
system through intensively conducted cooperation in this field, not only in the didactic dimension, but also in scientific research
Prawo do odliczenia podatku naliczonego w przypadku braku możliwości korekty deklaracji z uwagi na przedawnienie zobowiązania podatkowego
Authors: Modzelewski Witold , Rogalska Beata
Published: May 2020

Podatnik nie może legalnie stosować poglądu wynikającego z interpretacji prawa krajowego, który zaprzeczałby
istocie podatku od wartości dodanej wynikającej z prawa UE i nie odpowiadałby zasadniczym jego cechom. Teza,
jakoby podatnik, mając zamiar pomniejszyć podatek należny o podatek naliczony, musiałby ponownie (po raz
drugi) wykazać podatek należny, byłaby równoznaczna z zastosowaniem odmiennej stawki podatku niż ta, którą
stosują inni podatnicy dokonujący analogicznych dostaw. Stosowanie zróżnicowanych stawek w stosunku do
tych samych czynności – dostaw energii elektrycznej i gazu ziemnego spowodowałoby ponadto zakłócenie konkurencji,
biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że inni przedsiębiorcy z tytułu tych samych czynności stosują stawkę 23%. Możliwości
selektywnego zastosowania stawki niższej w stosunku do innych podmiotów przy założeniu, że podatnik
powinien opodatkować dokonane czynności de facto według stawki 46%, kłóciłaby się z regułami konkurowania
podmiotów gospodarczych na tych samych zasadach.
The early musealization of writers’ and artists’ houses through guidebooks
Authors: Hendrix Harald
Published: May 2020

Writers’ and artists’ residences developed into museums only at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries, when houses inhabited by Walpole, Rousseau and Petrarch as well as Canova’s birthplace were turned into tourist destinations. This shift is apparent in the guidebooks to these mansions published in the decades between 1780 and 1840. In examining such booklets, this article highlights the long-term transformations of the phenomenon of the writers’ and artists’ house, and particularly the changing interaction of curators and visitors these texts allow to identify. In order to investigate this evolution in museological communication, this essay discusses the guidebooks to Horace Walpole’s Twickenham villa (1784), Petrarch’s country house in Arquà close to Padua (1797 and 1830), the villa and gardens designed by Melchiorre Cesarotti in Selvazzano also close to Padua (1810), Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s “Les Charmettes” near Chambéry (1811) and Canova’s studio/residence/museum in Possagno (1837).
Walking through the Anthropocene. Encountering materialisations of the geological epoch in an exhibition space
Authors: Þórsson Bergsveinn
Published: May 2020

The Anthropocene has been mobilised as a conceptual framework for museums to engage with the global environmental crisis. This article examines the exhibition Welcome to the Anthropocene: The Earth in our Hands that was on display at the Deutsches Museum from 2014 to 2016. Proclaimed as the first largescale exhibition on the concept, the museum attempted to translate its underlying arguments into three-dimensional space. Viewing exhibitions as an assemblage of display technologies, objects and texts, the intention is to examine how the concept materialises in the exhibition space. The findings outline three different versions of the Anthropocene: understanding the Anthropocene as a history, experiencing the Anthropocene through spatial exploration and the concept as a tool to catch slippages. Locating three versions in a single exhibition reveals the complexity of the Anthropocene as a framework for museums and also highlights the possibility of addressing it in different ways simultaneously.
The Secret of Lobbying in China
Authors: Lüdtke Susann
Published: May 2020

What are the secrets of lobbying in China? How do companies influence technology standards in the building energy efficiency industry? More than 250 qualitative interviews with representatives of the industry, academia and the party state were conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou between 2013 and 2015. As a result, the author has analysed business lobbying in four distinctive and exciting case studies and designed a research model to reliably measure lobbying influence and success by assessing the usefulness of lobbying targets, strategies and resources that were chosen by the industry. Therefore, this book closes an important gap in research into lobbying by focusing on influence rather than only on participation. It shows the ingredients for business lobbying but also the key determinants in assessing lobbying success. Some of the study’s findings allow conclusions about the influence of business lobbying in similar knowledge-intensive sectors and about the decision-making processes of the Chinese party state.

Susann Lüdtke focuses on corporate lobbying in China and deals with the influence of industry on standardisation activities in China’s building energy efficiency industry.
Juristische Expertise zwischen Profession und Protest
Authors: Flam Helena
Published: May 2020

Staats- und justizkritische Arbeiten zu deutschen Juristen – vor allem Richtern – im Nationalsozialismus vermitteln oft das Bild einer obrigkeitsorientierten, konservativen und von der Gesellschaft entfremdeten staatstragenden Elite, die Hitlers Regime unterstützte und in ihrem Eifer sogar über die legalen Grenzen des Strafrechts hinausging.

Dieses Buch lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit v.a. auf staats- bzw. justizkritische Juristen, Vereine, Zeitschriften und Tagungen in der Weimarer Republik. Es diskutiert die Frage, wie die Weimarer Vorbilder in die Bonner Republik transportiert wurden und zeigt dabei die Bedeutung von Mobilisierung nicht „von unten“, sondern „aus der Mitte der Gesellschaft“ bzw. sogar „aus den staatstragenden Institutionen“ heraus auf.

Der Band legt die Grundlagen für eine weitere Publikation, die den NSU-Prozess (2013–2018) sowie die Nebenklagegruppe in den Fokus stellt.
Das Urheberrecht als Mittel staatlicher Geheimhaltung
Authors: Düwel Timm
Published: May 2020

Staatliche Stellen berufen sich zunehmend auf das Urheberrecht, um die Veröffentlichung von Geheimdokumenten durch Presseunternehmen und Whistleblowingplattformen zu verhindern. Dieses Vorgehen scheint mit dem Sinn und Zweck des Urheberrechts unvereinbar und greift zudem in die Kommunikationsgrundrechte der betroffenen Medien ein. Allerdings können solchen Veröffentlichungen auch berechtigte Geheimhaltungsinteressen entgegenstehen.

Die Arbeit sucht nach Lösungsmöglichkeiten zur Bewältigung dieser Konflikte unter Berücksichtigung der europarechtlichen Vorgaben und völkerrechtlichen Verträge. Dafür werden urheberrechtliche Schrankenregelungen, der Werkbegriff, das Erstveröffentlichungsrecht, Rechtfertigungsmöglichkeiten und der Rechtsmissbrauch betrachtet.

Die Arbeit stellt auch internationale Bezüge – insbesondere zum österreichischen Urheberrecht – her und zeigt eine Regelungsmöglichkeit für den deutschen Gesetzgeber auf.

En el presente contexto de internacionalización de la economía, el replanteamiento de los sistemas urbanos y de competitividad entre metrópolis, vemos en el pasado la oportunidad de buscar algunos ejemplos que nos ayuden a mejorar las propuestas de presente-futuro.  El urbanismo y la arquitectura contemporánea no pueden ser comprendidos sin incluir en su definición un replanteamiento hacia lo sostenible, tratando de dar respuesta a las numerosas preocupaciones climáticas y sostenibles que desafían la habitabilidad de las ciudades. En este sentido, las propuestas urbanas que buscan propiciar un contexto más acorde con las lógicas medioambientales actuales parecen compartir, al menos, una problemática: unos sistemas urbanos considerados obsoletos, ciudades que en muchas ocasiones no son comprendidas, o no son leídas conforme las importantes posibilidades que presentan.

Proyectos urbanos en contextos de desigualdad: la Villa Olímpica y la Villa 20 de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: Roitman Anabella
Published: May 2020

Actualmente en Buenos Aires, Argentina, conviven cercanamente en distancia física dos proyectos urbanosimpulsados desde la gestión pública, que apuntan a la construcción de vivienda en gran escala. Ambos se ubican en la zona sur de la ciudad, históricamente postergada y con altos déficits en materia habitacional: La Villa Olímpica -VO-, con 1000 nuevas viviendas para clases medias construidas en un sector "vacante" con motivo de la realización de las olimpiadas juveniles en 2018 – y la re-urbanización de la Villa 20 -V20-, un barrio informal autogestionado con altos índices de precariedad urbana y edilicia, en el cual habitan actualmente unas 30.000 personas. Este trabajo apunta a realizar un análisis crítico y comparativo de los criterios desplegados en ambos proyectos urbanos; las calidades espaciales y urbanas propuestas y logradas, y los modelos de gestión seleccionados en cada caso de estudio. En paralelo se intentarán incorporar conceptos e ideas analizados en el marco de los seminarios de la línea Urbanismo del MBARCH - UPC 2018

Currently, in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, two urban projects driven by public management, which aim at the construction of housing on a large scale, coexist closely in physical distance. Both are located in the south of the city, historically delayed and with high deficits in housing: The Olympic Village - 1200 new homes for middle classes built in a "vacant" sector, and on the occasion of the realization of the Olympic Games of the Youth in October 2018 - and the redevelopment of Villa 20, a self-managed neighborhood with high levels of urban and urban precariousness, in which some 30,000 people currently live.This work aims to carry out a critical and comparative analysis of the basic conditions, the reflections on the pre-existences in each property and in the immediate environment, the strategies and criteria deployed in both urban projects; At the same time, the results obtained in terms of solutions to the problems of the habitat, to the spatial and urban qualities proposed and achieved, and to the management models selected in each case of study.
Measuring neighbourhood change in public space: a public life study in Poblenou, Barcelona
Authors: Honey-Rosés Jordi
Published: May 2020

This research aims to learn if gentrification processes and neighbourhood change might be manifested in observable patterns of public life. Through the systematic observation of pedestrian movement, staying behaviour and other indicators, the study provides a diagnostic of the current conditions in four sites in the Poblenou neighbourhood of Barcelona: the Rambla of Poblenou, Pere IV at Trullàs, Mar Bella beach, and the Superilla. The research team observed public life from 8:00-24:00 hrs during a week in June 2018. The studydoes not find clear evidence of gentrification processes but there are systematic differences across sites. The Rambla performs best overall, with the highest level of pedestrian traffic, afternoon staying behaviour and gender balance. Three of the four sites are gendered spaces, in which men have a disproportionate use of public space. Describing the current patterns of public life may inform urban design interventions and serve as a baseline for long-term studies that aim to measure neighbourhood change.

Etnización y autenticidad del espacio público: reflexiones sobre la vocación urbana del Barrio Chino porteño
Authors: Ciocoletto Guadalupe
Published: May 2020

La ciudad de Buenos Aires, bajo los efectos de la globalización, se ha transformado en un punto atractivo para los negocios, y el turismo se ha convertido en un importante recurso económico. A ello se le suma la inmigración como un fenómeno nuevamente en alza, y al cual entendemos como un importante modelador urbano. Esta realidad nos lleva a preguntarnos: ¿qué imágenes se generan del otroen la ciudad? ¿qué usos propone la cuidad de su imagen globalizada? Analizaremos algunas decisiones sobre el llamado Barrio Chinoporteño, renovado varias veces en los últimos años: estas modificaciones habrían dado lugar a políticas de identidad y alteridad donde los símbolos identitarios-culturales son resaltados no solo por los propios habitantes sino por los espacios de poder, creando un área urbana altamente etnizada donde la diferencia cultural es resaltada para convertirse en atractivo.

The city of Buenos Aires, under the effects of globalization, has become an attractive point for business, and tourism turned into an important economic resource. To this, immigration is added as a phenomenon again on the rise, and which we understand as an important urban modeler. This reality leads us to ask ourselves: what images are generated about the other in the city? What uses does the city propose for its globalized image? We will analyze some decisions about the so-called Barrio Chino de Buenos Aires, renewed several times in recent years: these modifications might have led to policies of identity and alterity where the identity-cultural symbols are highlighted not only by the inhabitants themselves but by the spaces of power, creating a highly ethnized urban area where cultural difference is emphasized to become an attraction.
Centralismo y formas fluidas de planificación territorial en Chile: mecanismos de gobernanza horizontal para la agenda urbana local
Authors: Marshall Catalina
Published: May 2020

En el contexto del alto nivel de centralismo del Estado chileno, el país ha experimentado un proceso tardío y fragmentado de la descentralización de la planificación territorial, en el sentido de un traspaso significativo de atribuciones, competencias y facultades a gobiernos regionales y municipalidades. Ello resulta complejo bajo la premisa de la importancia de la descentralización gubernamental para el desarrollo de los territorios (Tocqueville, 1835; Borja y Castells, 1998; Boisier, 2010; OECD, 2013). En este artículo, se abordarán las complejidades de gobernanza de temas de planificación territorial, entre el nivel central y el nivel local (municipalidades) en Chile, desde el grado de incidencia de los municipios, en la formulación, diseño e implementación de grandes proyectos de carácter urbano y de inversión sectorial. Se expondrán los resultados enfocándose en casos claves, para demostrar nuevas modalidades de planificación, gestión y gobernanza urbana, mediante la colaboración y coordinación entre los niveles de gobierno, el sector privado, el sector académico, y la ciudadanía.

Given the high level of centralism of the Chilean State, the country has experienced a delayed and fragmented process of decentralization, in the sense of a significant transfer of planning powers to regional governments and municipalities. This is complex under the premise of the importance of government decentralization for the development of territories (Tocqueville, 1835, Borja and Castells, 1998, Boisier, 2010, OECD, 2013). This article addresses the complexities of governance of territorial planning issues between the central level and the local level (municipalities) in Chile, from the degree of incidence of municipalities, in the formulation, design and implementation of large urban and sectoral investment projects. Results will be presented focusing on key cases, to show new modalities of planning, management and urban governance, through collaboration and coordination between levels of government, the private sector, the academic sector, and citizens.

Published: May 2020

Este artigo analisa as preferências de pisos e o impacto estético das variações dos pisos de calçadas ao longo da mesma quadra, na percepção de três grupos de respondentes com distintas formações educacionais. Foram apresentadas para a análise de impacto estético doze vistas de pisos mais recorrentes e três percursos de calçadas com diferentes níveis de variações de pisos ao longo da mesma quadra, conforme segue: (i) alta heterogeneidade: grande variedade de pisos; (ii) média heterogeneidade: média variedade de pisos, e (iii) homogeneidade, sem variação de pisos. Os dados foram coletados através de questionários on-line para moradores de Porto Alegre e RMPA, categorizados em: (38) arquitetos; (69) não arquitetos com formação universitária e (10) respondentes sem formação universitária, e analisados através de testes estatísticos não paramétricos. Os principais resultados evidenciam maior preferência por pisos de tamanhos e cores uniformes, assim como impacto positivo por percursos de calçada com pisos homogêneos.

This article analyzes the preferences of sidewalk surface and the aesthetic impact of the variations of the paving along the same block, in the perception of three groups of respondents with different educational backgrounds. Twelve more recurrent sidewalk surface views and three sidewalk paths with different levels of paving variation along the same block were presented for the aesthetic impact analysis, as follows: (i) high heterogeneity: wide variety of paving; (ii) average heterogeneity: medium variety of paving, and (iii) homogeneity, without variation of paving. Data were collected through online questionnaires for residents of Porto Alegre and RMPA, categorized in: (38) architects; (69) non-architects with university education and (10) respondents without university education, and analyzed through non-parametric statistical tests. The main results show a greater preference for uniform size and color of sidewalk surface, as well as positive impact on sidewalk paths with homogeneous paving.
Lineamientos para el desarrollo urbanístico de la periferia: estudio de la Zona Sur de Córdoba Argentina
Authors: Martínez Mónica , Schiavoni María Julia
Published: May 2020

El presente trabajo forma parte de la investigación doctoral Conicet, que aborda el estudio de los procesos de crecimiento del Área Metropolitana de Córdoba, a partir de un antecedente disponible en la Zona Sur de la ciudad -estudio de la Agencia para el Desarrollo Económico de Córdoba- (ADEC). La periferia Sur es uno de los sectores de mayor dinámica y complejidad metropolitana. La estructura urbano-territorial refleja características urbanas, suburbanas y rurales, de gran conflictividad funcional, ambiental y social. La distribución de las actividades económicas, las políticas de ordenamiento y el desconocimiento de los valores de conservación del territorio, ponen en evidencia un territorio en desequilibrio, con una realidad física y socio ambiental compleja. En este texto se ensayan múltiples enfoques sobre ésta problemática urbano-metropolitana abordando de lo particular a lo global y viceversa.

The present work is part of a Conicet PhD research, which deals with the study of the dynamic processes of growth of the metropolitan area of Córdoba, based on a background available in the southern area of the city -study of the Agency for Economic Development of Córdoba- (ADEC). The southern periphery is one of the most dynamic and complex metropolitan sectors. The urban-territorial structure reflects urban, suburban, periurban and rural characteristics of great functional, environmental and social conflict. The distribution of the economic activities, the policies of ordering and the ignorance of the conservation values of the territory, show a territory in imbalance and physical and socio-environmental conflict. In this text, multiple approaches to this urban-metropolitan problem are develop, addressing the global to the particular and vice versa.

El suelo agrícola como elemento clave en latransformación de territorios en transición: caso de estudio Cuenca - Ecuador
Authors: Albarracin Vélez Giovani , Contreras Escandón Christian
Published: May 2020

El presente estudio aborda una problemática socio ambiental dentro de la franja territorial conocida como periurbano, según el cual el avance de la urbanización significa el destrozo del medio natural; se toma como caso de estudio las parroquias catalogadas como rural Misicata y urbana Yanuncay en la ciudad de Cuenca que se encuentran dentro de este espacio. Los resultados más importantes proponen una reconsideración de las metodologías e instrumentos con los cuales la ciudad está siendo planificada, ya que esta ha permitido la pérdida y fragmentación de extensas áreas boscosas y suelos agrícolas, el estudio concluye de manera satisfactoria con una propuesta de escenarios para una nueva organización rural - urbana que logre un interfaz campo-ciudad dentro de una lógica de complementariedad, que permita un crecimiento urbano sostenibleponiendo en valor el suelo agrícola, promoviendo su conservación y la conectividad de flora y fauna.

The present study addresses an environmental problem within the territorial fringe known like peri-urban, according to which urban expansion means the destruction of the natural environment, it is taken as a study case the parish of Misicata considered as rural area and Yanuncay parish like urban site both located in the city of Cuenca and which are into this área, the most important results sugest a reconsideration of the methodologies and instruments with which the city is being planned, since this has allowed the loss and fragmentation of extensive forest areas and agricultural soils. The study concludes satisfactorily with a proposal of three scenarios and a theoretical framework, that apply rural organization and achieve a field-city interface within a complementarity logic, which allows urban growth with equal densities or higher than the current, facilitating the conservation of agricultural land and the connectivity of flora and fauna.
Al borde del misterio: acercamiento a la poesía de Rafael Ballesteros (1969-2010)
Authors: Aguilar Sánchez Antonio
Published: May 2020

El conjunto de la obra poética de Rafael Ballesteros, publicada a lo largo de las cuatro décadas que van de 1969 a 2010, no solo puede leerse como seguro puente entre las preocupaciones sociales de los 50 (gracias a la imbricación de la memoria personal en la memoria social) y la riqueza expresiva de los 70 (a través de la sabia manipulación de un lenguaje de ecos neovanguardistas), sino también como una apuesta vital, estética y reflexiva que sigue manteniendo su vigencia a través de la obra de algunos de los poetas más jóvenes y cercanos.
Una aproximación a la temática del teatro de Manuel Linares Rivas
Authors: Ares Cuba Gabriel
Published: May 2020

Se estudia la temática de diez obras de Manuel Linares Rivas teniendo en cuenta su contexto socio-histórico. Se intenta demostrar, al menos provisionalmente, que Linares Rivas se centra en temas propios de una burguesía radical que reniega del statu quo y critica las miserias de los grupos más marginados. De esta manera, su teatro se aproximaría a una corriente novadora y rupturista del teatro español del primer tercio del siglo xx.
The Architects of the Fontana Family in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The History of a Clan
Authors: Kaladžinskaitė Auksė
Published: May 2020

At the turn of the eighteenth century, the newcomers of the Fontana family settled in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and eventually rallied a clan of architects and engineers based on family ties. In the middle of the eighteenth century, some of the individuals connected by familial ties resided in Warsaw and worked in the milieu of the royal court, but the zone of their activity and influence covered almost the whole territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In the historiography of Polish art, the Fontanas and other architects related to them have been studied in some detail, but those family members who resided and worked in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania have not been adequately researched. The phenomenon of this clan is not featured in the circulation of the history of Lithuanian art, nor has its role in the evolution of eighteenth-century architecture of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania been assessed. The biographical information on the Fontana family and the data on their architectural activities suggest that the Fontana family of architects, which operated in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, comprised a group based on kinship that consciously sought to firmly establish themselves and assert leadership in the field of architecture. In the eighteenth century, the architects of the Fontana family introduced the stylistic trend of “Classicist” Baroque to the architecture of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This style encompassed the echoes of Northern Italian mannerism, ascetic and austere traditions of mature baroque of Rome, as well as ideas and variations of forms transformed in the milieu of Warsaw triggered by following such precursors as Tylman van Gameren. Classicist Baroque stimulated a wide response. In the eighteenth-century arena of baroque architecture of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it was competing against its main rival, the school of Vilnius Baroque.

Introducción. La satisfacción y el conocimiento del cambio de tenofovir por tenofovir-alafenamida en pacientes con HIV no se han estudiado aún. Estos dos parámetros se relacionan con mejores resultados en salud y, por lo tanto, es importante medirlos durante la práctica clínica habitual.Objetivo. Evaluar el grado de conocimiento y satisfacción de los pacientes positivos para HIV ante el cambio de tratamiento antirretroviral con rilpivirina, emtricitabina y tenofovir (RPV-FTC-TDF) por rilpivirina, emtricitabina y tenofovir-alafenamida (RPV-FTC-TAF).Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio prospectivo en un hospital de tercer nivel entre los meses de septiembre y noviembre de 2018. Se incluyeron pacientes previamente tratados con RPV-FTC-TDF que acudían por segunda vez a consulta para recibir el tratamiento con RPV-FTC-TAF.

Background

Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, a serious illness that can be fatal if untreated or misdiagnosed. Culture from clinical specimens remains the gold standard but has low diagnostic sensitivity.

Method

In this study, we developed a rapid, sensitive and specific insulated isothermal Polymerase Chain Reaction (iiPCR) targeting bimA gene (Burkholderia Intracellular Motility A; BPSS1492) for the identification of B. pseudomallei. A pair of novel primers: BimA(F) and BimA(R) together with a probe were designed and 121 clinical B. pseudomallei strains obtained from numerous clinical sources and 10 ATCC non-targeted strains were tested with iiPCR and qPCR in parallel.

Results

All 121 B. pseudomallei isolates were positive for qPCR while 118 isolates were positive for iiPCR, demonstrating satisfactory agreement (97.71%; 95% CI [93.45–99.53%]; k = 0.87). Sensitivity of the bimA iiPCR/POCKIT assay was 97.52% with the lower detection limit of 14 ng/µL of B. pseudomallei DNA. The developed iiPCR assay did not cross-react with 10 types of non-targeted strains, indicating good specificity.

Conclusion

This bimA iiPCR/POCKIT assay will undoubtedly complement other methodologies used in the clinical laboratory for the rapid identification of this pathogen.

Nanotechnology has enormous potential for developing alternative pest control strategies and reducing the risk of insecticide molecules. The present study aimed to develop a stable nanoemulsion (NE) of eucalyptus oil (EO) by the spontaneous emulsification method and evaluate its insecticidal and repellent effect against Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Rhizopertha dominica (F.) and Tribolium-castaneum (Herbst.). The prepared nanoemulsion formulation having a small particle size 8.57 nm with polydispersity index (PDI) 0.28. The study of the stability and physicochemical properties showed that the prepared formulation had good physical stability without any change in the macroscopic parameters. In addition, results showed that theinsecticidal activity of the prepared NE was higher than the original EO against the three tested insect speciesand the mortality increased with increasing concentrations and extending of exposure time. The contact toxicity of NE film revealed that, adults of R. dominica was more susceptible to all treatments followed by S. oryzae adults, while adults of T. castaneum was the least susceptible one, however, adults of S. oryzae was more susceptible followed by T. castaneum adults while, adults of                    R. dominica was the least susceptible one according to the fumigant toxicity and repellency. Our results suggested that the prepared formulation may be used in an integrated pest managementprogramfor controlling stored grain insects.

Guava is one of the most promising fruit crops of India and is considered to be one of the exquisite nutritionally valuable and remunerative crops. We are unaware of any report describing macro and micronutrient dynamics in fruit at different growth stages of guava. For conducting this experiment fruit of variety Allahabad Safeda, L-49, Lalit, Shweta, Arka Kiran, Salithong, Kimchu were collected at different stages like marble, seed hardening and harvest stage for estimation of primary nutrient (N, P, K), secondary nutrient (Ca, Mg) and micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu). As regards the availability of mineral nutrient contents of varieties did not follow definite trend.  The nutrient content particularly N, and K were recorded highest at marble stage while as Mg and Ca was accumulated maximum in stone hardening stage and P, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mg and Mn was in harvesting stage. There was least variation was observed in Mg content. Finally, it may be concluded that for the improvement of yields and quality requirement of specific mineral and nutrients is required at different growth stages.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common gastrointestinal cancer with a high global mortality. Recent reports have suggested that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are implicated in multiple aspects of GC, including pathogenesis, progression, and therapeutic response. Herein, we investigated the function of FOXD1‐AS1 in GC progression and chemoresistance. Expression of FOXD1‐AS1 was low in normal stomach tissues but was upregulated in GC cell lines. Silencing of FOXD1‐AS1 impaired GC cell proliferation and motility in vitro, and repressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Importantly, FOXD1‐AS1 upregulation increased the resistance of GC cells to cisplatin. Moreover, we found that FOXD1‐AS1 promoted FOXD1 protein translation through the eIF4G‐eIF4E‐eIF4A translational complex. We also demonstrated that FOXD1‐AS1 released eIF4E from phosphorylated 4E‐BP1 and thereby strengthened the interaction of eIF4E with eIF4G by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was due to the post‐transcriptional upregulation of PIK3CA, in turn induced by FOXD1‐AS1‐mediated sequestering of microRNA (miR)‐466. Furthermore, we verified that FOXD1‐AS1 facilitated GC progression and cisplatin resistance in a FOXD1‐dependent manner. In conclusion, FOXD1‐AS1 aggravates GC progression and chemoresistance by promoting FOXD1 translation via PIK3CA/PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. These findings highlight a novel target for treatment of patients GC, particularly patients with cisplatin resistance.
Formononetin Ameliorates Diabetic Neuropathy by Increasing Expression of SIRT1 and NGF

Published: May 2020

Diabetic neuropathy is commonly observed complication in more than 50 % of type 2 diabetic patients. Histone deacetylases including SIRT1 have significant role to protect neuron from hyperglycemia induced damage. Formononetin (FMNT) is known for its effect to control hyperglycemia and also activate SIRT1. In present study, we evaluated effect of FMNT as SIRT1 activator in type 2 diabetic neuropathy. Type 2 diabetic neuropathy was induced in rats by modification of diet for 15 days using high fat diet and administration of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg/day, i. p.). FMNT treatment was initiated after confirmation of type 2 diabetes. Treatment was given for 16 weeks at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg/day dose orally. FMNT treatment‐controlled hypoglycemia and reduced insulin resistance significantly in diabetic animals. FMNT treatment reduced oxidative stress in sciatic nerve tissue. FMNT treatment also reduced thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia significantly. It improved conduction velocity in nerve and unregulated SIRT1 and NGF expression in sciatic nerve tissue. Results of present study indicate that continuous administration of FMNT protected diabetic animals from hyperglycemia induced neuronal damage by controlling hyperglycemia and increasing SIRT1 and NGF expression in nerve tissue. Thus, FMNT can be an effective candidate for treatment of type 2 diabetic neuropathy.
Flavonoids with Vicinal Hydroxyl Groups Inhibit Human Calcitonin Amyloid Formation

Published: May 2020

Human calcitonin (hCT) is a 32‐residue peptide hormone that can aggregate into amyloid fibrils and cause cellular toxicity. In this study, we investigated the inhibition effects of a group of polyphenolic molecules on hCT amyloid formation. Our results suggest that the gallate moiety in epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG), a well‐recognized amyloid inhibitor, is not critical for its inhibition function in the hCT amyloid formation. Our results demonstrate that flavonoid compounds, such as myricetin, quercetin, and baicalein, that contain vicinal hydroxyl groups on the phenyl ring effectively prevent hCT fibrillization. This structural feature may also be applied to non‐flavonoid polyphenolic inhibitors. Moreover, our results indicate a plausible mechanistic role of these vicinal hydroxyl groups which might include the oxidation to form a quinone and the subsequent covalent linkage with amino acid residues such as lysine or histidine in hCT. This may further disrupt the crucial electrostatic and aromatic interactions involved in the process of hCT amyloid fibril formation. The inhibition activity of the polyphenolic compounds against hCT fibril formation may likely be attributed to a combination of factors such as covalent linkage formation, aromatic stacking, and hydrogen bonding interactions.
