Published: March 2021

Rabies is endemic in southern Bhutan and children are the frequent victims of dog bites. We surveyed the knowledge, attitude, and practices on rabies among school children in three schools located in southern Bhutan. A total of 701 students (57.9% female, 42.1% male) with an age range of 12–21 years (mean: 15 years) participated in the survey, of which 98.2% had heard about rabies. Most of the students demonstrated a good level of knowledge (59.7%) and a favorable perception towards rabies (57.7%). Multivariable logistic analysis revealed the relation between knowledge and the awareness campaign (OR:1.5, 95% CI: 1.1–2.1). Similarly, higher grades of students (OR:1.9, 95%CI: 1.3–2.9) and employed mothers of the students (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.0–2.7) were associated with more favorable perceptions. However, some knowledge gaps were identified in this study, such as students not being able to clearly mention the susceptible hosts of rabies, transmission routes, clinical signs, and prevention and control options. Therefore, regular awareness programs on rabies are necessary among school children in Bhutan.

Between June and November 2020, we assessed plasma antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid protein in 4996 participants (aged 18–82 years, 34.5% men) from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The weighted overall prevalence was 1.6% and monthly prevalence correlated with viral RNA-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in Greece, in the same period. Notably, 49% of seropositive cases reported no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection-related clinical symptoms and 33% were unsuspected of their previous infection. Additionally, levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies against the spike-protein receptor-binding domain were similar between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, irrespective of age and gender. Using Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization-approved assays, these results support the need for such studies on pandemic evaluation and highlight the development of robust humoral immune responses even among asymptomatic individuals. The high percentage of unsuspected/asymptomatic active cases, which may contribute to community transmission for more days than that of cases who are aware and self-isolate, underscores the necessity of measures across the population for the efficient control of the pandemic.

Key Points

Nonfasting plasma glucose positively correlates with hyaluronan levels in kidneys.

Hyaluronan content in kidneys positively correlates with urine albumin-creatinine ratio.

Hyaluronan synthesis inhibitor, 4-methylumbelliferone, slows the progression of diabetic kidney disease.

Background

The role of hyaluronan (HA) in the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and the precise mechanisms and consequences of HA involvement in this pathology are still to be clarified.

Methods

In this study, we assayed the effects of the HA synthesis inhibitor 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) on the development of DKD. Diabetic type 2 model mice (eNOS−/− C57BLKS/Jdb) were fed artificial diets containing 5% 4-MU or not for 9 weeks. Plasma glucose, GFR, albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), and biomarkers of kidney function and systemic inflammation were measured at baseline and after treatment. Diabetic nephropathy was further characterized in treated and control mice by histopathology.

Results

Treated animals consumed a daily dose of approximately 6.2 g of 4-MU per kg of body weight. At the end of the experimental period, the 4-MU supplemented diet resulted in a significant decrease in nonfasting plasma glucose (516; interquartile range, 378–1170; versus 1149; interquartile range, 875.8–1287 mg/dl, P=0.05) and a trend toward lower HA kidney content (5.6±1.5 versus 8.8±3.1 ng/mg of kidney weight, P=0.07) compared with the control diet, respectively. Diabetic animals treated with 4-MU showed significantly higher GFR and lower urine ACR and plasma cystatin C levels than diabetic controls. Independent histologic assessment of DKD also demonstrated a significant decrease in mesangial expansion score and glomerular injury index in 4-MU–treated mice compared with controls. Plasma glucose showed a strong correlation with kidney HA levels (r=0.66, P=0.01). Both total hyaluronan (r=0.76, P=0.007) and low molecular weight hyaluronan content (r=0.64, P=0.04) in the kidneys correlated with urine ACR in mice.

Conclusions

These results show the hyaluronan synthesis inhibitor 4-MU effectively slowed the progression of DKD, and constitutes a potential new therapeutic approach to treat DKD.

La tesis de Maestría titulada “Comprensión y renarración infantil de cuentos ficcionales: incidencia de las representaciones iníciales” indaga si existe algún tipo de relación entre dos instancias de producción textual que proceden de instancias de comprensión de la organización y secuencia de una estructura narrativa. En la misma se observó el desempeño evolutivo de niños ante la narración a partir de la lectura de una secuencia de imágenes y la renarración a partir del recuerdo de la escucha del relato oral. Hemos diseñado una investigación que comparó las producciones discursivas de niños de 7 y 9 años, poniendo en foco las relaciones entre las diferentes instancias de producción textual. Para este objetivo se propusieron dos tareas, narración a partir de imágenes (NI) y renarración a partir de estímulo auditivo (RE), cada una de las tareas, a su vez, consideraba dos diferentes tipos de texto ficcional: textos basados en relatos de experiencia personal (T1) y textos de matriz ficcional maravilloso. (T2). Los resultados indicaron que en la tarea de renarración (RE) hubo un desempeño evolutivo, ya que los niños de 9 años obtuvieron mejores resultados que los niños de 7 años, en ambos tipos de texto. En la tarea de narración a partir de imágenes (NI), no obstante, los niños de 7 años obtuvieron mejores desempeños en el T2 pero en T1 los niños de 9 años obtuvieron mejores resultados, lo que significa que las diferencias en la macroestructura generan diferencias en el desempeño. Además, se observó que los resultados en NI están originados por diferencias en el desempeño en habilidades narrativas según episodios (las microhabilidades) de cada tipo de texto. Por último, a nivel de marcadores discursivos, los niños de 9 años presentaron mejor desempeño ya que sus producciones a nivel morfo-sintáctico son más completas

Published: March 2021

Swarm intelligence involves the aggregation of the boids, which interact with each other in their own environment. The boids are agents that follow simple rules in the absence of centralized structure. The Artificial Neural Network is also known as a connectionist system that originated from the biological neural network. The aim of the present study is to improve the hybrid swarm intelligence algorithm for voice command recognition. The proposed algorithm hybrid combines the lion optimization algorithm with the fish swarm algorithm, and was improved upon using voice features. Approximately ten voice commands were recorded, including “open”, “close”, “open door”, “close door”, “open window”, “close window”, “on”, “off”, “play”, and “stop”.
Argon Flow Rate Effect on Hardness of Carbon Thin Films on SKD11 Steel Using Target Material from Battery Carbon Rods with Plasma Sputtering Method
Authors: Purkuncoro Aladin Eko , Soenoko Rudy , Herry D.J Djoko , Irawan Yudy Surya
Published: March 2021

Processes for increasing the hardness value of steel are among the most challenging in industrial applications. SKD11 steel is one of the steels that is commonly used in industry (building, transportation facility construction, and production of various kinds of scissors such as knife-edge mold, scissors, circular saw blades, and metal stamping mold). However, SKD11 steel has a hardness value of only around 58–60 HV. Even though it is often used for building and transportation facility construction, which requires material with a high hardness performance. It will be better if the hardness performance is increased. The deposition of carbon thin films with plasma sputtering is a physical vapor deposition method that is effective for improving the hardness value of material. The purpose of this study is to obtain the maximum average hardness value of carbon thin films on SKD11 through the optimization of the argon gas flow rate parameter on plasma sputtering. The effect of the argon gas flow rate parameter on the hardness value of carbon thin films for SKD11 steel is investigated using a Vickers hardness tester. The research method involves the use of target material from battery waste (carbon rods) using argon gas low-frequency plasma sputtering with variations in the argon gas flow rate of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mL/min for 2 hours at 300˚C. The method allows for the improvement of the hardness performance of carbon thin films because the argon gas flow rate affects the probability of carbon atom collision with particles in the chamber and the number of argon ions formed. This can cause different structures and hardness values of thin films. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the optimum argon gas flow rate parameter is 80 mL/min, which is associated with the highest average hardness value of 335.9 HV.

Authors: Baiutti Mattia
Published: March 2021

Although pupil mobility is a core educational activity within the process of internationalising secondary school education, only modest efforts have been made to investigate pupil mobility in upper secondary school and how to assess it. The aim of this article is twofold. First, it presents an assessment framework—the (To be added after the review) (IAP). The IAP, which was designed through action research in the context of the Italian upper secondary school, is composed of a set of tools and follows a multimethod, multiperspective and longitudinal approach. Second, the article shows the pedagogical value of the IAP. Indeed, results suggest that some of the IAP’s tools, especially those requiring deep reflection on the self and on the intercultural experience, foster pupils’ self-awareness and critical thinking. These form key aspects of intercultural competence, which is one of the principal expected learning outcomes of pupil mobility.

Published: March 2021

Este artículo analiza el tratamiento historiográfico de la figura de Roberto Gerhard a través de los diversos escritos sobre la música española del siglo xx que se elaboraron en España entre 1943 y 1974. Partiendo de la referencia imprescindible a los estudios de Adolfo Salazar, situaremos en su contexto los discursos de José Subirá, Federico Sopeña o Manuel Valls Gorina, entre otros, para valorar la percepción de la figura y de la producción de Gerhard por parte de la musicología española de la época. El análisis de estos textos nos permitirá un acercamiento a las posiciones estéticas predominantes, a las opiniones sobre las principales corrientes creativas y a los perfilesde los compositores en el exilio dibujados por los críticos españoles, incluyendo omisiones clamorosas, como en el caso del músico que nos ocupa. Aunque las fuentes bibliográficas serán la referencia fundamental, se hará alusión a noticias hemerográficas significativas y a cierta correspondencia relacionada con los encargados de transmitir en la época, mediante la creación histórica, una imagen de la música contemporánea española. Como podrá comprobarse, el trazado de esta imagen no será inocente.
Time set y técnica serial aplicada a la orquesta
Authors: Duque Carlos
Published: March 2021

Roberto Gerhard fue uno de los precursores de la música electrónica occidental y de la aplicación de su experiencia a la música orquestal. En el desarrollo de su personal técnica, amalgama el uso del folclore que emana de su profesor Felipe Pedrell y del estructuralismo que aprendió de la mano de Arnold Schönberg. En este artículo se analiza la técnica serial que aplicó a la Sinfonía 4 ‘New York’ (encargo de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Nueva York en su 125º aniversario) comparando la aplicación real con el universo teórico que expuso en sus artículos, que en muchas ocasiones son meras formulaciones sin un desarrollo práctico. El artículo plantea ejemplos de cada proceso concreto tales como estructura, tempo, time-set y sistemas hexacordales aplicados a la Sinfonía 4 ‘New York’.
Effiziente Spaltüberwachung in Druckgussmaschinen
Authors: Stelzl Stefan
Published: March 2021

Hersteller von Aluminium-Druckgussteilen sparen durch den Einsatz von Maschinen mit induktiven Sensoren bares Geld. Die wirbelstrombasierten Sensoren überwachen die Werkzeugatmung mit hoher Genauigkeit. Bei der Werkzeugatmung handelt es sich um den schmalen Spalt, der zwischen den Werkzeughälften entsteht, wenn Material unter Druck eingeschossen wird. Sie ist eine qualitätsentscheidende Größe im Druckgussprozess. Dank der Überwachung können ein frühzeitiger Werkzeugverschleiß oder falsche Prozessparameter erkannt werden. Langwierige und teure Nacharbeiten sowie erhöhter Werkzeugverschleiß werden dadurch auf ein Minimum reduziert, die Standzeit des Werkzeugs verlängert sich deutlich.

Risiko für Investoren minimieren
Authors: Ohnewein Philip
Published: March 2021

Das Potenzial für Solarwärmenutzung in Nahwärmesystemen in Europa ist riesig. Von den rund 5 000 bestehenden Wärmenetzen nutzen bisher etwa 150 Sonnenwärme. Für Wärmeversorger ist es entscheidend, dass sie den von den Technologielieferanten garantierten Solarerträgen vertrauen können, um das finanzielle Risiko gering zu halten. Deshalb hat das österreichische Forschungsinstitut AEE – Institut für Nachhaltige Technologien (AEE Intec) eine Methode entwickelt, die einen Leistungs- und Ertragsnachweis großer Kollektorfelder im regulären Anlagenbetrieb ermöglicht.

A new species of Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827 (Squamata, Gekkonidae) from Yunnan, China
Authors: Liu Shuo , Rao Dingqi
Published: March 2021

A new species ofCyrtodactylusis described on the basis of five specimens collected from the karst formations of Zhenkang County, Yunnan Province, China.Cyrtodactylus zhenkangensissp. nov.is recognized by having a unique combination of morphological characters, the most diagnostic being: 12–15 enlarged femoral scales on each thigh; 2–5 femoral pores on each thigh in males, 0–3 pitted scales on each thigh in females; eight or nine precloacal pores in a continuous row or separated by one poreless scale in males, 7–9 pitted scales in females; subcaudals enlarged, arranged alternately as single and double on anterior and mostly single at middle and posterior; dorsal surface of head with obvious reticulations. Phylogenetic analyses show that the new species is a member of theC. wayakoneispecies group and a sister taxon to a clade consisting ofC. wayakoneiandC. martinibased on Maximum Likelihood analyses and Bayesian Inference and differs from its congeners by at least 12.0% genetic divergence in a fragment of the COI gene.
Négocier au sein des négociations : les petits États insulaires, l’Alliance des petits États insulaires et les négociations climatiques
Authors: Klöck Carola
Published: March 2021

Toute négociation multilatérale est structurée par les coalitions ; celles-ci jouent un rôle particulièrement important pour les petits États tels que les petits États insulaires. Le présent article examine une telle coalition, l’Alliance des petits États insulaires (l’AOSIS) au sein des négociations climatiques. En suivant les questions de ce numéro spécial, l’analyse démontre d’abord la nécessité d’un engagement collectif en vue des ressources limitées des petits États. Elle examine ensuite la diversité des délégations insulaires et souligne l’importance du soutien des organisations non-insulaires. Dans la troisième partie, elle explore les positions insulaires communes au sein des négociations, mais aussi la pluralité des intérêts des membres de l’AOSIS, et enfin les accomplissements de l’AOSIS. Même si ceux-là restent parfois symboliques, c’est grâce aux efforts communs via l’AOSIS que les petits États insulaires font entendre leur voix sur la scène internationale.

Authors: Pignault Anne , Meyers Raymond , Houssemand Claude
Published: March 2021

Les pratiques de médiation sont promues de façon croissante par les sociétés occidentales, avec un nombre grandissant de centres et de praticiens qui offrent leurs services. La recherche sur les déterminants, les mécanismes et les résultats de la médiation en est cependant encore à ses débuts en Europe francophone, alors que déjà beaucoup plus avancée dans les pays anglo-saxons. Une analyse de la littérature internationale est ici proposée afin d’inspirer la recherche dans nos pays. Elle permet de faire émerger deux principales priorités de recherche, concernant les ressources et stratégies utilisées par les médiateurs et l’évaluation de la médiation et ses effets à moyen et long termes.

In financial trading, cryptocurrencies like bitcoin use decentralization, traceability, and anonymity features to perform transactional activities. These digital currencies, using the emerging blockchain technologies, are forming the basis of the largest unregulated markets in the world. This creates various regulatory challenges, including the illicit purchase of drugs and weapons, money laundering, and funding terrorist activities. This chapter analyzes various legal and ethical implications, their effects, and various solutions to overcome the inherent issues that are currently faced by the policymakers and regulators. The authors present the result of an analysis of 30 recently published peer-reviewed scientific publications and suggest various mechanisms that can help in the detection and prevention of illegal activities that currently account for a substantial proportion of cryptocurrency trading. They suggest methods and applications that can also be used to identify the dark marketplaces in the future.
Public-Private Partnership in the Post-Coronavirus Reality
Authors: Vaslavskaya Irina Yurievna , Vaslavskiy Yan
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the failure of the state to withstand emergencies, threatening the lives of millions of citizens. By introducing regimes of social and economic lockdowns in fighting coronavirus, the state faced a societal crisis. Its consequences can't be overestimated, especially due to economic recovery. The growing distrust of households in the state was caused by the disruption of their usual way of living, the growth of unemployment, and the deterioration in their well-being. So people began to distinguish significant differences between their individual values and preferences institutionalized by the state. Hence, the priority for the state should be to restore citizens' confidence by creating a more inclusive societal environment, minimizing the negative consequences of the societal crisis. Infrastructure PPP projects can demonstrate the social preferences' public priority. The “institutional matrix” of PPP organizational forms makes it possible to choose conditions for public projects' implementation with the absolute priority of the healthcare system.
