Published: April 2021

Background: Recent studies showed that in healthy controls and in aphasic patients, inhibitory trains of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the right prefrontal cortex can improve phonemic fluency performance, while anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left prefrontal cortex can improve performance in naming and semantic fluency tasks. Objective: This study aimed at investigating the effects of cathodal tDCS over the left or the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on verbal fluency tasks (VFT) in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: Forty mild AD patients participated in the study (mean age 73.17±5.61 years). All participants underwent cognitive baseline tasks and a VFT twice. Twenty patients randomly received cathodal tDCS to the left or the right DLPFC, and twenty patients were assigned to a control group in which only the two measures of VFT were taken, without the administration of the tDCS. Results: A significant improvement of performance on the VFT in AD patients was present after tDCS over the right DLPFC (p = 0.001). Instead, no difference was detected between the two VFTs sessions after tDCS over the left DLPFC (p = 0.42). Furthermore, these results cannot be related to task learning effects, since no significant difference was found between the two VFT sessions in the control group (p = 0.73). Conclusion: These data suggest that tDCS over DLPFC can improve VFT performance in AD patients. A hypothesis is that tDCS enhances adaptive patterns of brain activity between functionally connected areas.

Published: April 2021

Background: C9orf72 hexanucleotide GGGGCC (G4C2) large repeat expansions within the first intron of the gene are a major cause of familial frontotemporal dementia, but also of apparently sporadic cases. Alleles with > 30 repeats are often considered pathogenic, but the repeat length threshold is still undefined. It is also unclear if C9orf72 intermediate alleles (9–30 repeats) have clinically significant effects. Objectives: We correlated the presence of C9orf72 intermediate alleles with clinical diagnoses in a perspective cohort referred to a secondary memory clinic. Methods: All samples were genotyped with AmplideXPCR/CE C9ORF72 Kit (Asuragen, Inc), an optimized C9orf72 PCR amplification reagent. Results: We showed that in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the frequency of the intermediate repeat alleles was significantly increased versus controls (34/54, 63%AD versus 16/39, 41%CTRLs, *p = 0.01, OR 2.91 CI 95%1.230–6.077), whereas no significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed when comparing all other dementias with non-demented individuals. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that C9orf72 intermediate repeat units may represent a genetic risk factor, contributing to the occurrence of AD. Nevertheless, further longitudinal studies, including larger cohort of subjects with intermediate alleles with long-term follow-up, would be needed to confirm these results.
Prolonged Treatment with Centella asiatica Improves Memory, Reduces Amyloid-β Pathology, and Activates NRF2-Regulated Antioxidant Response Pathway in 5xFAD Mice

Published: April 2021

Background: The medicinal herb Centella asiatica has been long been used for its neuroprotective and cognitive enhancing effects. We have previously shown that two weeks of treatment with a water extract of Centella asiatica (CAW) improves cognition and activates the endogenous antioxidant response pathway without altering amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque burden. Objective: Here, we assess the effect of long-term treatment of CAW in the 5xFAD mouse model of Aβ accumulation. Methods: Four-month-old 5xFAD mice were treated with CAW in their drinking water (2 g/L) for three months at which point they underwent cognitive testing as well as analysis of Aβ plaque levels and antioxidant and synaptic gene expression. In order to confirm the involvement of the antioxidant regulatory transcription factor NRF2 on the effects of CAW on synaptic plasticity, neurons isolated from 5xFAD mice were also treated with CAW and the targeted inhibitor ML385. Results: Three months of treatment with CAW improved spatial and contextual memory as well as executive function in 5xFAD mice. This improvement was accompanied by increased antioxidant gene expression and a decrease in Aβ plaque burden relative to untreated 5xFAD animals. In isolated neurons, treatment with ML385 blocked the effects of CAW on dendritic arborization and synaptic gene expression. Conclusion: These results suggest that prolonged CAW exposure could be beneficial in Alzheimer’s disease and that these effects likely involve NRF2 activation. Moreover, these findings suggest that targeting NRF2 itself may be a relevant therapeutic strategy for improving synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease.

Authors: Foster Carolyn C. , Fuentes Molly M. , Wadlington Lauren A. , Jacob-Files Elizabeth , Desai Arti D. , Simon Tamara D. , Mangione-Smith Rita
Published: April 2021

PURPOSE: Children with medical complexity (CMC) often use rehabilitative services (“therapy”) to achieve optimal health outcomes. The study aims were to characterize caregiver and provider experiences with: 1) determining the suitability of therapy and 2) obtaining therapy for CMC. METHODS: Primary caregivers of CMC (n = 20) and providers (n = 14) were interviewed using semi-structured questions to elicit experiences of therapy. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and coded to identify caregiver and provider reported themes. Applied thematic analysis was used to characterize themes related to study objectives. RESULTS: Participants endorsed challenges setting therapy goals amongst competing patient and family priorities. They also identified logistical challenges to obtaining therapy, including transition from early intervention services to school-based years. Participants raised concerns about variability in obtaining school-based therapy and insurance coverage of community-based therapy. Overall, funding, salary, credentialing requirements, and training impacts the pediatric therapy workforce’s ability to meet the need of CMC. CONCLUSION: Setting the ideal “dose” of therapy within the individual and family context can be challenging for CMC. Sufficient government programming, insurance coverage, and workforce availability were barriers to obtaining services. This study adds a more detailed understanding of therapy for CMC that can be used to inform future research and policy work.

Authors: Steinhart Shoshana , Kornitzer Emmanuel , Weiss Patrice L. , Katz-Leurer Michal
Published: April 2021

PURPOSE: To assess hand dexterity in children with myelomeningocele (MMC) and to explore factors related to hand dexterity in these children. METHODS: Ninety-four children with myelomeningocele, aged 4 to 18 years, were assessed. Demographic characteristics, disease factors, visual perception (Beery test of Visual Motor Integration), cognition (WeeFunctional Independence Measure), and self-care (Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory) were assessed in relation to the Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) for hand dexterity using Spearmen correlations and linear regressions. RESULTS: The children’s performance on the 9HPT in both hands was significantly slower than the norms for their age groups. Children without a shunt showed significantly better function in both hands (p = .005) than those with a shunt. Factors most related to hand dexterity were neurological spinal level of MMC, presence of shunt, age, cognitive ability, and years of mother’s education. CONCLUSION: Children with MMC appear to have poorer hand skills than typically developed children, which was related to pathology as well as functional and environmental factors. When addressing hand dexterity in children with MMC, it is important that rehabilitation professionals continue to work with these children as they get older, and put greater emphasis on parent education using materials that are adapted to varying educational levels.

Authors: Liu Yaping , Qu Mingwei , Wang Nan , Wang Limin
Published: April 2021

Background:

Acute cerebral infarction is a clinically common and critical disease which seriously endangers the life and safety of elderly patients. Evidence-based nursing is an effective way of nursing and has great significance in improving the neurological function and quality of life of patients. In China, evidence-based nursing has been highlighted and highly developed in recent decades.

Objectives:

This research aimed to investigate the effect of evidence-based nursing on the recovery of neurological function and serum inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Methods:

A total of 116 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two groups: the control group patients ( n = 58) received conventional nursing, while the intervention group patients ( n = 58) received evidence-based nursing intervention. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and activities of daily living (ADL) scores, as well as serum TNF- α and IL-6 levels were evaluated and compared between the two groups.

Results:

NIHSS scores in the intervention group were significantly lower than the control group. FMA and ADL scores in the intervention group were significantly higher than the control group. TNF- α and IL-6 levels in the serum of the intervention group were significantly lower than the control group.

Conclusions:

In conclusion, evidence-based nursing has a positive effect on the treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction, which decreases the level of serum inflammatory cytokines and contributes to the recovery of neurological function, motor function and activities of daily living.

Published: April 2021

PURPOSE:

This study aims to evaluate the planned dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for treating early peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the non-coplanar radiation from Cyberknife and Varian linac. Moreover, this study investigates whether Cyberknife and Varian linac are qualified for non-coplanar radiation SBRT for treating early peripheral NSCLC, and which one is better for protecting organs at risk (OARs).

METHODS:

Retrospective analysis was performed based on the Cyberknife radiation treatment plans (RTPs) and Varian Eclipse RTPs of 10 patients diagnosed with early peripheral NSCLC. The dose distributions in the target and OARs were compared between the RTPs of Cyberknife and Varian Eclipse using Mim medical imaging software.

RESULTS:

For PTV, no significant difference in D98 and D95 between the Cyberknife and Eclipse was observed ( t = –0.35, –1.67, P > 0.05). The homogeneity indexes (HIs) of Cyberknife plans are higher ( t = 71.86, P < 0.05) than those of Eclipse plans. The V10, V15, V20, V25, V30 and Dmean of the lung with NSCLC and the V20 of the whole lung for Cyberknife were less than those for Eclipse ( t = –4.73, –5.62, –7.75, –6.38, –6.89, –3.14, –7.09, respectively, P < 0.05). Cyberknife plans have smaller spinal cord Dmax, trachea Dmax, heart Dmax, chest wall Dmax ( t = –2.49, –2.57, –3.71, –3.56, respectively, P < 0.05) and esophagus Dmax ( t = –1.95, P > 0.05) than Varian Eclipse plans.

CONCLUSION:

To fulfill SBRT by non-coplanar radiation, Cyberknife is recommended for the institutions equipped with Cyberknife, while Varian linac can be applied for the institutions that have not adopted Cyberknife in clinical radiotherapy yet.

Authors:   Ondokuz Mayıs University, Onjul V.
Published: April 2021

In linguistics, language acquisition is examined as its development in terms of phonology, phonetics, morphology, semantic knowledge, sentence knowledge, and the performance of the mother tongue. It is an acquisition that begins in the womb, develops in the preschool period and lasts a lifetime. As each person’s inheritance and environmental characteristics are different, this process varies according to the cognitive, biological, emotional and social conditions of the child. The social basis of language acquisition is environmental input, and language development is treated as the child’s maturation in language use by passing through certain stages at certain ages. Children learn the rules of language in their social structure as well as for what purpose they are used. It may be possible for children to acquire their mother tongue and learn how to use that language in various contexts, by living in the culture where that language is used. Language is a means of communication for the child, and children can use language more extensively by socializing with adults who use language better. Social use of language in every culture has some rules such as politeness, speaking in a way that the listener understands, waiting for the order of speech, starting and continuing the conversation, gestures and gestures during the conversation, and these social rules develop in early childhood. It has been observed that there are few studies in our country on how the child developed his / her knowledge of single word, two words and grammar period starting from the pre-language period, and how he / she learned how to use the language. In recent years, it has been found that the majority of studies have been done to analyze the interaction of parents with children in Turkish families and the language directed towards the child by the parents. In this study, as a result of longterm observations, performance assessment of children was requested from 6 months from birth. The processes of learning how to use language have been observed in 11 children between 6-36 months; two of these children have been observed in a home setting, nine of them in a nursery for two and a half years. Observation records have been taken twice a month, with an interval of 15 days. The natural observation method has been applied, the audio and video recordings of the children were taken for 1 hour in the natural environment without any external intervention, the data obtained has been determined by the data obtained in the studies on this subject, and similarities and differences have been tried to be determined.

Analysis of regulatory requirements for the assessment of carbon dioxide corrosion at gas production facilities
Authors: Zapevalov D. N. , Vagapov R. K.
Published: April 2021

Aim.In many fields, the produced gas contains corrosive CO2, which, in combination with moisture and other factors, stimulates the intensive development of corrosion processes, including local ones, which requires careful attention to the assessment of the corrosiveness of operating fluids in order to select effective anti-corrosion protection. Ensuring reliable and safe operation of equipment and pipelines prevents not only man-made risks, but also no less important environmental risks, which are especially dangerous for marine underwater facilities for Arctic coastal facilities.Methods.The analysis of normative and technical documentation in the field of assessment of corrosion risks, aggressive factors of internal corrosion and operating conditions of gas and gas condensate fields has been carried out.Results.One of the criteria for assessing the corrosion hazard is the corrosion rate of steel under operating conditions. However, the normative documents predominantly regulate the general corrosion rate, which evaluates the uniform thinning of the metal. But the rate of local corrosion is in no way taken into account, which is most relevant precisely for the conditions of carbon dioxide corrosion of steel. Another tool for identifying risks can be a corrosion allowance to the pipe wall thickness, which should be selected at the design stage and which is provided to compensate for corrosion losses during the operation of gas pipelines. It is shown that the minimum corrosion allowance (3 mm) specified in the main regulatory documents is insufficient, especially for offshore facilities.Conclusion.The experience of operating gas production facilities confirms that the rate of local corrosion can reach several mm/year. To limit this, effective anti-corrosion measures should be chosen, for example, the use of corrosion inhibitors, and a reasonable level of corrosion allowance should be provided that would take into account the corresponding level of corrosion risks at the gas production facility.

Обґрунтована необхідність розробки об’єктивної системи показників, яка б враховувала всі складові, від яких залежить економічна безпека молокопереробних підприємств. Встановлено, що економічна безпека молокопереробних підприємств залежить від результативності господарюючих суб'єктів та вміння вирішувати поставлені цілі. Складна функціональна структура внутрішнього середовища виробників молочної продукції зумовлює важливість кожного з внутрішніх факторів у формуванні економічної безпеки як інструменту реалізації головної стратегії розвитку підприємства. Для подальшого удосконалення методичного забезпечення аналізу стану економічної безпеки молокопереробних підприємств запропоновано систему відносних показників оцінки тенденцій економічної безпеки у порівнянні з нормативними або сприятливими за певними критеріями значеннями.
РОЗРОБКА КОМПЛЕКСУ МАРКЕТИНГОВИХ КОМУНІКАЦІЙ ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧНОГО ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

У статті визначено, що вітчизняний фармацевтичний ринок є висококонкурентним і монополізованим, отже, це спонукає фармацевтичні компанії застосовувати сучасні засоби просування фармацевтичної продукції: реклама в ЗМІ; реклама в Інтернеті; інформація про ліки в аптеках; «гарячі» телефонні лінії; непряма реклама в телесеріалах/фільмах; пряма поштова розсилка; спонсорство; візити медичних представників; семплін тощо. Аналіз показав різний вплив елементів маркетингових комунікацій на медичних працівників, кінцевих споживачів фармацевтичної продукції та підприємств-виробників, а також їх ставлення до носіїв інформації про лікарські засоби. На основі дослідження встановлено, що в структурі комплексу засобів маркетингових комунікацій фармацевтичних компаній найбільш поширеною є реклама, вона допомагає як лікарю, так і пацієнту (кінцевому споживачу) зорієнтуватися в потоці інформації і прийняти обґрунтоване рішення про призначення або придбання потрібного препарату. Важливим напрямом просування продукції на фармацевтичному ринку є візити медичних представників, які мають інформувати фахівців про нові препарати та їх застосування. У статті запропоновано такі напрями удосконалення просування лікарських препаратів на фармацевтичному ринку, як: підвищення якості видачі в пошукових запитах по всіх категоріях; посилення пошуково-контекстних інструментів для підвищення результатів обробки запитів в сезон; активізувати рекламу в періоди зниження попиту на лікарські препарати (в не сезон); застосовувати нові типи розміщення реклами, серед них: Programmatic реклама; Custom.

This research is entitled, "The Meaning of Words in the Field of Building Structures Associated with the Biological Field". This study aims to analyze the meaning of various terms, in particular, words in the field of building structures that contain biological elements. Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods. Data collection was done by observing method and note taking technique. The data in this study are in the form of a list of terms contained in the SNI for loading and SNI for reinforced concrete. The theory of semantic studies regarding the shift in meaning, especially associative meaning, becomes the theory used in research. The results show that in the field of civil engineering there are the same words as elements of the term biological. Some of the associated words include diaphragm, reinforcement, and tendons. These three words are used because of developments in science and technology, differences in usage, and development of terms. These three factors are caused by the need to use terms in the field of civil engineering which contain elements of similarity in nature to biological elements
Academic Aspect of the Leather Industry: An Interpretation from the Perspective of Business Science
Authors: ER Hatice
Published: April 2021

In the leather industry, a production process that is the subject of many different disciplines is dominant. Many studies on these branches of science have examined the sector in detail in terms of production. On the other hand, studies dealing with the sector in terms of business administration department and sub-disciplines are not common.
In this study, academic publications examining the relationship between the leather industry and the business administration department are the subjects. 98 scientific studies obtained after the search in the Web of Science database were examined in terms of the form of publication, the year of publication, the country where the publication was made and the sub-disciplines of the business department.
Insertion des femmes diplômées d’universités dans milieu professionnel à Lubumbashi en République démocratique du Congo

Published: April 2021

La République démocratique du Congo en général et la ville de Lubumbashi en particulier enregistrent une croissance démographique rapide accompagnée d’énormes défis socio-économiques. Alors que le chômage ainsi que les inégalités sociales sont largement documentés, cette situation touche malheureusement plus des femmes malgré leurs niveaux d’étude universitaire. À Lubumbashi, l’enquête conduite dans les entreprises publiques et privées renseigne que seulement 9% des femmes universitaires y travaillent dans l’administration malgré le nombre important de femmes diplômées ces dernières années. L’objectif de cette étude était d’identifier les facteurs d’insertion professionnelle ainsi que des défis à relever pour capitaliser, au profit du pays, les compétences des femmes universitaires pour une croissance plus inclusive. Les données utilisées dans le cadre de cette étude proviennent d’une enquête conduite à Lubumbashi auprès de 384 femmes diplômées d’universités choisies de manière aléatoire en 2019. Les résultats indiquent 76% de femmes interrogées ont obtenu leurs licences mais celles qui ont fait leurs études dans des filières spécialisées (par exemple : médecine, accouchement) et des filières techniques (par exemple : géologie, chimie) se sont vite insérées dans le monde professionnel. En outre, la matrice de corrélation montre que la position du mari dans une entreprise et sa rémunération, le statut des parents, la connaissance de la langue anglaise ainsi que de l’informatique sont des éléments supplémentaires positivement corrélées à l’insertion professionnelle des femmes diplômées à Lubumbashi. Ces résultats nous motivent d’inviter et d’encourager les filles à s’inscrire dans les filières techniques et apprendre l’outil informatique et l’anglais pour augmenter les chances de trouver de l’emploi. Cette étude constitue aussi une source d’informations fiables pour le pouvoir public qui cherche à améliorer les conditions d’accès des femmes au marché du travail.

Authors: Nafidi Ahmed , Rida Oussama , Achchab Boujemaa
Published: April 2021

A new stochastic diffusion process based on Generalized Brody curve is proposed. Such a process can be considered as an extension of the nonhomogeneous lognormal diffusion process. From the corresponding Itô’s stochastic differential equation (SDE), firstly we establish the probabilistic characteristics of the studied process, such as the solution to the SDE, the probability transition density function and their distribution, the moments function, in particular the conditional and non-conditional trend functions. Secondly, we treat the parameters estimation problem by using the maximum likelihood method in basis of the discrete sampling, thus we obtain nonlinear equations that can be solved by metaheuristic optimization algorithms such as simulated annealing and variable search neighborhood. Finally, we perform a simulation studies and we apply the model to the data of life expectancy at birth in Morocco.
