The alternative desalination technique of membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) has emerged in the last 15 years and received a lot of research attention since then. By using a voltage applied between two electrodes covered with ion-exchange membranes, MCDI has attempted to challenge established methods such as reverse osmosis or electrodialysis. In this study, through the crosslinking of sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) and glutaric acid (GA) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), cation exchange membrane preparation and characterization were introduced. For the CDI system, membranes were chosen based on their water absorption and ion exchange properties. The PVA/SSA/GA composite (mass ratio of 100:5:5) had the best water adsorption and charge efficiencies that could be utilized for CDI application. The membrane’s ability to desalinate water was assessed using electrical properties such as total resistance, specific capacitance, and electro adsorption coated with the best ratio composite CEM. The salt absorption capacity of 19.06 mg·g−1 with stable performance was found to be encouraging.
Comprehensive analysis of molecular mechanism and a novel prognostic signature based on small nuclear RNA biomarkers in gastric cancer patients
Authors: Liang Ziyu , Su Dongxing , Liu Kang , Jiang Haixing
Published: May 2022

Small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are rarely reported in cancer. This study is based on The Cancer Genome Atlas genome-wide data set to explore the prognostic value and molecular mechanism of snRNAs in gastric cancer (GC). Gene ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and gene set enrichment analysis were used to explore the molecular mechanism of snRNAs. A total of 351 patients were included in the survival analysis, and 14 prognostic snRNAs were identified using multivariate survival analysis. We constructed a prognostic signature containing nine snRNAs, which can signally classify patients into high- and low-risk phenotypes (adjusted P < 0.0001, hazard ratio = 2.671, 95% confidence interval = 1.850–3.858). Combining the molecular mechanisms obtained by the three functional enrichment approaches, we concluded that this prognostic signature snRNAs participated in classical tumor-related signaling pathways, including Notch, PI3K, toll-like receptor, etc.; cell adhesion; cell cycle; cell proliferation; and other biological processes that affect the biological phenotype of cancer cells. We also found significant downregulation of the abundance of immune cell infiltrates and immune microenvironment scores for high-risk phenotypes of GC patients. In conclusion, this study has identified 14 prognostic snRNAs signally associated with GC overall survival and also constructed a novel prognostic signature containing nine prognostic snRNAs.
Fictional Universal Realism
Authors: Goodman Jeffrey
Published: May 2022

Certain realists about properties and relations identify them with universals. Furthermore, some hold that for a wide range of meaningful predicates, the semantic contribution to the propositions expressed by the sentences in which those predicates figure is the universal expressed by the predicate. I here address ontological issues raised by predicates first introduced to us via works of fiction and whether the universal realist should accept that any such predicates express universals. After assessing arguments by Braun, D. (2015. “Wondering about Witches.” In Fictional Objects, edited by S. Brock, and , A. Everett, 71–113. Oxford: Oxford University Press) and Sawyer, S. (2015. “The Importance of Fictional Properties.” In Fictional Objects, edited by S. Brock, and A. Everett, 208–29. Oxford: Oxford University Press) for fictional universal anti-realism, I propose a novel, Kripke-inspired argument for the same conclusion. I ultimately defend the claim that while this argument presents the strongest case for fictional universal anti-realism, it is nonetheless unsound. I conclude that nothing stands in the way of accepting that some fictional predicates express fictional universals.

We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a strong and tunable optical anisotropy in epitaxially-grown VO2 thin films. Using a combination of temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements and first-principle calculations, we reveal that these VO2 thin films present an ultra-large birefringence (Δn > 0.9). Furthermore, leveraging the insulator-to-metal transition of VO2, we demonstrate a dynamic reconfiguration of optical properties from birefringent to hyperbolic, which are two distinctive regimes of anisotropy. Such a naturally birefringent and dynamically switchable platform paves the way for multi-functional devices exploiting tunable anisotropy and hyperbolic dispersion.

Pathogenic Mutation of TDP-43 Impairs RNA Processing in a Cell Type-Specific Manner: Implications for the Pathogenesis of ALS/FTLD
Authors: Imaizumi Kent , Ideno Hirosato , Sato Tsukika , Morimoto Satoru , Okano Hideyuki
Published: May 2022

Transactivating response element DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), which is encoded by theTARDBPgene, is an RNA-binding protein with fundamental RNA processing activities, and its loss-of-function (LOF) has a central role in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).TARDBPmutations are postulated to inactivate TDP-43 functions, leading to impaired RNA processing. However, it has not been fully examined how mutant TDP-43 affects global RNA regulation, especially in human cell models. Here, we examined global RNA processing in forebrain cortical neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with a pathogenicTARDBPmutation encoding the TDP-43K263Eprotein. In neurons expressing mutant TDP-43, we detected disrupted RNA regulation, including global changes in gene expression, missplicing, and aberrant polyadenylation, all of which were highly similar to those induced by TDP-43 knock-down. This mutation-induced TDP-43 LOF was not because of the cytoplasmic mislocalization of TDP-43. Intriguingly, in nonneuronal cells, including iPSCs and neural progenitor cells (NPCs), we did not observe impairments in RNA processing, thus indicating that the K263E mutation results in neuron-specific LOF of TDP-43. This study characterizes global RNA processing impairments induced by mutant TDP-43 and reveals the unprecedented cell type specificity of TDP-43 LOF in ALS/FTLD pathogenesis.
Tendon transfers for massive rotator cuff tears
Authors: Cartucho Antonio
Published: May 2022

Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) present a particular challenge due to high rates of retear that can range from 18 to 94%, failure of healing after repair, and potential for irreparability.

Management of MRCTs must take into consideration the patient's characteristics, clinical examamination and expectation, number and quality of muscle tendons units involved.

Conservative treatment, arthroscopic long head of the biceps tenotomy, cuff debridement, partial repair, and superior capsule reconstruction are viable solutions to treat selected patients.

The goal of tendon transfers is to achieve stable kinematic by restoring rotational strength and force coupling of the shoulder joint.

The ideal candidate is a young, motivated patient with small degenerative changes of the glenohumeral joint, a massive irreparable cuff tear, significant atrophy, fatty infiltration, and functional deficit.

Patients with posterosuperior massive tears have impaired shoulder function with external rotation weakness and eventually lag sign If the teres minor is affected.

Latissimus dorsi transfer is the most used with results lasting for long follow-up and lower Trapezius transfer is becoming a surgical option. For anterosuperior tears, there is still controversial if pectoralis major is the best option when compared to latissimus dorsi although this last has a similar vector force with the supraspinatus tendon.

Complications associated with tendon transfers include neurovascular injury, infection, and rupture of the transferred tendon.
Cup placement in primary total hip arthroplasty: how to get it right without navigation or robotics
Authors: Meermans Geert , Grammatopoulos George , Innmann Moritz , Beverland David
Published: May 2022

Acetabular component orientation and position are important factors in the short- and long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty.

Different definitions of inclination and anteversion are used in the orthopaedic literature and surgeons should be aware of these differences and understand their relationships.

There is no universal safe zone.

Preoperative planning should be used to determine the optimum position and orientation of the cup and assess spinopelvic characteristics to adjust cup orientation accordingly.

A peripheral reaming technique leads to a more accurate restoration of the centre of rotation with less variability compared with a standard reaming technique.

Several intraoperative landmarks can be used to control the version of the cup, the most commonly used and studied is the transverse acetabular ligament.

The use of an inclinometer reduces the variability associated with the use of freehand or mechanical alignment guides.
Total joint replacement for osteoarthritis of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb: why and how?
Authors: Duerinckx Joris , Verstreken Frederik
Published: May 2022

Total joint replacement has certain advantages over other surgical treatment methods for osteoarthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal joint, including restoration of thumb length and alignment, good cosmetical result, fast recovery of hand function and prevention of iatrogenic complications at neighbouring joints.

Disadvantages include the technical difficulty to perform this surgery and a possible higher complication rate.

A meticulous surgical technique is mandatory.

Combined with a cementless and modular ball-in-socket implant with a metal-on-polyethylene friction couple, a 10-year survival rate higher than 90% can be expected.

Revision surgery is possible with implant exchange or conversion to trapeziectomy.
Proximal femur fractures in patients taking anti-coagulants: has anything changed?
Authors: Giannoudi Marilena , Giannoudis Peter V
Published: May 2022

With an ever-ageing population, the incidence of hip fractures is increasing worldwide. Increasing age is not just associated with increasing fractures but also increasing comorbidities and polypharmacy.

Consequently, a large proportion of patients requiring hip fracture surgery (HFS) are also prescribed antiplatelet and anti-coagulant medication. There remains a clinical conundrum with regards to how such medications should affect surgery, namely with regards to anaesthetic options, timing of surgery, stopping and starting the medication as well as the need for reversal agents.

Herein, we present the up-to-date evidence on HFS management in patients taking blood-thinning agents and provide a summary of recommendations based on the existing literature.
Dislocation fracture of the femoral head in adult
Authors: Chiron Philippe , Reina Nicolas
Published: May 2022

The smaller the head fragment, the more likely it is located at the bottom and in front of the femoral head, which then determines the most suitable approach.

A CT scan is essential after reduction and before resumption of weight-bearing to verify the size and congruence of the fragments and whether there are foreign bodies and/or a fracture of the posterior wall.

Classifications should include the size of the fragment and whether or not there is an associated fracture of the acetabulum or femoral neck (historical ‘Pipkin’, modernised ‘Chiron’).

In an emergency, the dislocation should be rectified, without completing the fracture (sciatic nerve palsy should be diagnosed before reduction). A hip prosthesis may be indicated (age or associated cervical fracture).

Delayed orthopaedic treatment is sufficient if congruence is good. A displaced fragment can be resected (foreign bodies and ¼ head), reduced and osteosynthesised (⅓ and ½ head), and a posterior wall fracture reduced and osteosynthesised. Small fragments can be resected under arthroscopy. The approach is medial (Luddloff, Ferguson, Chiron) to remove or osteosynthesise ⅓ or ¼ fragments; posterior for ½ head or a fractured posterior wall.

The results remain quite good in case of resection or an adequately reduced fragment. Long-term osteoarthritis is common (32%) but well tolerated with a low rate of prosthetisation. Avascular necrosis remains a possible complication (8.2%). Sciatic nerve palsy (4% of fracture dislocations) is more common for dislocations associated with posterior wall fractures.

Bu çalışmada, yumurtaya verilen farklı dozlarda BPA’nın iskelet kası gelişimi üzerindeki etkilerinin histolojik metotlarla belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Isa Brown ırkı sağlıklı ticari anaçlardan elde edilen 310 adet döllü tavuk yumurtası kontrol, taşıyıcı, 50,100 ve 250 μg/yumurta olmak üzere 5 gruba ayrıldı. Test solüsyonları inkübasyon öncesi yumurta sarısına enjekte edildi. Kuluçkanın 13, 18 ve 21. günlerinde, her gruptan 10 canlı embriyo elde edilinceye kadar rastgele yumurta seçilerek açıldı. Embriyolardan alınan iskelet kası (musculus fibularis longus, musculus sternocoracoideus pectoralis) doku örnekleri %10'luk formol solüsyonunda tespit edildi ve rutin histolojik tekniklerle işlenerek parafinde bloklandı. Kesitler Crossmon’un üçlü boyama yöntemi ile boyandı. PCNA (Proliferating cell nuclear antigen) reaktivitesi ise immünohistokimyasal yöntemle belirlendi. Kas gelişiminin BPA uygulanan gruplarda geri kaldığı ve PCNA pozitif hücre sayısının da daha yüksek olduğu dikkati çekti (p<0.05). Söz konusu bu gruplarda enine bandlaşmanın çok zayıf olduğu ve miyotüp organizasyonunun ise henüz tamamlanmadığı gözlendi. BPA'nın iskelet kası dokusunun gelişimi üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerinin ileride hayvanlardan beklenen bazı performans parametrelerinde düşüşe neden olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: May 2022

El estudio de fuentes alternativas de energía eléctrica ha experimentado un importante crecimiento en todo el mundo y son una opción energética para los dispositivos electrónicos de baja potencia que requieren baterías para su funcionamiento. Diferentes tipos de energías presentes en el ambiente son consideradas como posibles soluciones energéticas y otras fuentes como las basadas en el cuerpo humano muestran un futuro prometedor. El cuerpo humano es un depósito de energía, cada función vital o actividad que realiza puede ser tomada como posible fuente energética. Caminar o marchar es una actividad física que se puede aprovechar para convertirla en fuente eléctrica útil, mediante el uso de transductores piezoeléctricos, los cuales resultan apropiados para implementarlos en vestuario y calzado. Los materiales piezoeléctricos cuando son sometidos a una deformación mecánica generan un campo eléctrico y viceversa. Cuando una persona camina, al asentar la planta del pie sobre una superficie se hace la presión necesaria para generar una campo eléctrico, si se tiene un material piezoeléctrico como elemento de transducción. En este trabajo se estudia el proceso de captación de energía a partir del ciclo de marcha humana como una fuente alternativa de energía eléctrica mediante la conversión con un dispositivo de transducción eléctrica.

Unintended consequences and the problem of ensuring sustainable development
Authors:   State Institution “Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine”, Lypov Volodymyr
Published: May 2022

The sources, types, and mechanisms of formation and tools for minimizing "unintended consequences" of economic reforms in Ukraine are considered. "Unintended consequences" are understood as unpredictable, unintentional, indirect, and incredible consequences of actions of initiators, organizers and executors of Ukrainian reforms, which were not included in their plans but happened in reality and have have a decisive influence on the state of the national economy. The methodological basis of the study includes historical-genetic, comparative, statistical, and graphical analysis. The origins of the study of " unintended consequences" of human actions can be traced in the works of N. Machiavelli, J. B. Vico, B. Mandeville, A. Ferguson, W. Petty, A. Smith, J.-B. Sаy, K. Marx, С. Menger , W. Pareto, M. Weber, F. Hayek, and R. Merton. Prerequisites for the "unintended consequences" of economic reforms in Ukraine include insufficient competence of initiators and organizers, errors in analyzing problems due to ignoring the specifics of the current situation, focus on achieving immediate results without the possibility to calculate long-term consequences of implemented measures, underestimation of the role of basic values of national culture and the impact of disclosure of predictions on the behavior of economic entities. The types of “unintended consequences” that affected the course of economic reforms in Ukraine include those that, while remaining functional for the system, rely on latent, unconscious and unplanned factors arising from latent dysfunctions. Varieties of mechanisms for the formation of "unintended consequences" of economic reforms in Ukraine include the manifestation of the results of latent functions, self-realization of social beliefs and self-destructive beliefs. It is substantiated that the practice of mandatory preliminary testing at the local level on the basis of relevant information platforms makes it possible to eliminate shortcomings in advance, clarify and improve the implemented measures, determine their social effectiveness, and choose the best alternative. Conducting preliminary economic experiments avoids situations where, as a result of the reform, certain groups gain access to various types of rental income at the expense of society.

In this work, a statistical analysis of the time series of areas of majoritarian crops for 20 years (from 1998 to 2020) is carried out, and the influence of agro-climatic zones on the area of cultivation of major crops is analyzed. Climate change is acutely felt in the southern regions of Ukraine, increasing the production risk in the agricultural sector through changes in temperature, precipitation, and other extreme weather events. Historical climatic data indicate an increase in temperature on the territory of Ukraine, and climate forecasts suggest further warming, especially in the south of Ukraine. Using satellite and statistical data, changes in the earth’s surface are investigated for certain areas, which are characterized by the greatest changes in crop areas for the main types of crops. To analyze the dynamics of cultivated areas in relation to climatic zones, we used national statistical data for 1998—2019, maps of the classification of land cover from 2016—2020, data on climatic zones on the territory of Ukraine for 2000 and 2020, as well as the contours of administrative units of the NUTS2 level. Since statistical data for many districts are not available for the period 2019—2020 due to the reform of territorial boundaries, we used instead cultivated areas obtained from open satellite records. As additional and alternative information for the analysis of acreage, crop classification maps for 2016—2020 were used, obtained by specialists of the Space Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the State Space Agency of Ukraine from their own in-depth training technologies. We used classification maps obtained using open satellite data of the Copernicus program: SAR Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 with a spatial resolution of 10 m. A comparison of statistical data and crop areas obtained from satellite data was carried out by applying the metric of statistical analysis of the correlation coefficient (r). To assess the accuracy, the coefficient of determination R2 between the statistical area of the main crops and the area according to satellite data was also applied

The radio engineering means of the RI “Mykolaiv Astronomical Observatory” are fully passive. To track satellites, they use radio signals emitted by the satellites themselves. Thus, the following means were developed and put into operation: 1) Simple INTerferometer NETwork (SintNet) for monitoring the orbital position of geostationary (GEO) satellites; 2) Doppler station for clarifying the orbital elements of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Two SintNets operate now: European and Chinese. The European SintNet consists of 10 stations and tracks three co-located satellites simultaneously. The Chinese SintNet consists of four stations and tracks one satellite. The positional error (standard deviation) of satellites is about 200 m

The African rock python is a cosmopolitan snake in Nigeria widely kept as a zoo animal and also in recreational facilities. There is need for chemical immobilisation of this animal species for managemental, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. A mixture of xylazine and ketamine (XK) was compared with the administration of a mixture of xylazine and normal saline solution (XS) in six captive African rock pythons in 2 trials with reference to onset and duration of anaesthesia. Changes in the heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and rectal temperature (RT) as well as selected biochemical parameters were recorded. Although there were no statistically significant (P>0.05) differences in HR and RR values between XK and XS treatments, significant (P<0.05) differences were recorded for RT. Nonetheless, the significant differences were of no clinical importance. It was therefore recommended to safely immobilise an African rock python using XK for a procedure lasting over 1 hour with minimal cardiopulmonary and plasma enzymatic effect. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first study assessing the anaesthetic efficacy and safety in African Rock pythons.

This paper discusses the equivalent of Arabic proverbs and English proverbs through a study of contrastive analysis. Contrastive analysis is a method that plays an important role in linguistic analysis whether it is a comparison between two or more languages to explore similarities and differences between the two languages. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive study using a hermeneutic and cultural communicative approach. The author uses this hermeneutic approach to find the meaning of the interpretation of the Arabic proverbial text and the English proverb. Meanwhile, the communicative culture approach is used as an attempt to translate the meanings of symbols of two or more cultures that are reflected in the literary text, then the two are contrasted. The implicit cultural value can be found in the communication process through the terms found in the translation and equivalent of the proverb text, which can be in harmony with the original meaning of the two. The findings in this study are that the application of contrastive analysis has shown the equivalent and appropriate meaning and function represented by Arabic and English proverbs about patience, determination, indiscipline, youth, and truth. So this analysis has implications for understanding communication in social life.

The Bani Buyid era witnessed significant social and economic changes as poverty and insecurity increased among most people. This resulted in the emergence of some movements that caused turmoil and disorder in society, the most prominent of which in Iraq was the movement of bullets. Most of the caliber historians labeled thievery, love of chaos, and corruption. Their appearance is the result of political chaos, social injustice, and economic exploitation. The Banu Buwayh were far from the culture in general and the Arab culture, and they only quote it in their succeeding generations. The author conducts library research in discussing history, which begins with the collection of historical documents. After verification, the interpretation is carried out, and it is hoped that it will give birth to a new picture and dimension in this article. Then rewriting the history of the Bani Buwaih was done. The view was obtained when Moez al-Dawla came to Baghdad and its king, he needed to translate the words of the Minister Ali bin Issa, and the names of the Buyids remained Persian (such as Khusraw, Rustum, Fayrouz, and Kaligar). He used to sit with them and oppose them on issues. Hence, scholars from every country intended him and classified books for him, including "clarification and completion" in grammar by Abu Ali Al-Farsi and "Al-Maliki in Medicine" by Abu Al-Abbas Al-Majusi and "Al-Taji in History" by Abu Ishaq Al-Sabi. And it gives poets and influences the sitting of writers on the admirers of princes, and it was intended by the poets, including Abu al-Tayyib al-Mutanabi, who came to him in Shiraz in 354 AH. In the year 369, A.H. Al-Khald Palace in Baghdad and the building of Bimaristan in Shiraz, his and his entourage had famous books in Baghdad, Shiraz, Al-Rai, and Asbahan.

The Westsik’s long-term crop rotation experiment was set up in 1929 at the Nyíregyháza Experimental Station (NE Hungary) on a slightly acidic Arenosol. Besides fallow crop rotation (CR), effects of different organic amendments (lupine as green manure, lupine as main crop, straw manure, and farmyard manure (FYM) were studied with or without N or NPK-fertilizers. The crop rotation consisted of rye, potato, lupine, and oat with common vetch. The soil of potato plots was analysed in 2019 at the 90th anniversary of Westsik’s crop rotation experiment.

The following chemical and microbiological soil parameters were determined: soil pH, available nutrient contents, organic carbon (OC) and nitrogen (ON) contents, microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN), soil respiration, net nitrification, and activity of some soil enzymes.

In the CRs, the soil pHH2O varied from acidic to weakly alkaline and it largely differed from pHKCl. The results showed a significant increase in the content of nitrate, available phosphorus and potassium in most of the fertilized plots. Applying straw, green manure, or FYM significantly increased the OC and ON contents. The total count of cultivable bacteria increased upon the application of the organic manures. Combined application of straw manure and N-fertilization heavily improved the abundance of the microscopic fungi.

While all the applied organic manures significantly enhanced the MBC, the MBN increased only by the green manure amendment. Our results revealed higher soil respiration rate in the plots receiving straw or FYM than in the control. Both green manure and FYM elevated the net nitrification rate. Phosphatase, saccharase, urease, and dehydrogenase enzymes showed a hesitating response to the manure application in the different CRs.

The soil respiration and dehydrogenase activity correlated to most of the measured chemical parameters. Among microbiological properties, the MBC and MBN, as well as dehydrogenase and other enzyme activities displayed a positive correlation. Results proved the need for the exogenous application of organic matter in the form of organic manures to enhance the nutritional status and health of the soil.

Este estudo analisa a perspectiva dos profissionais médicos sobre a coordenação da gestão clínica entre níveis assistenciais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal, quantitativa, que utiliza dados de um inquérito realizado com 182 médicos da atenção primária à saúde (APS) e especializada (AE) de Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil, em 2017. Os resultados apresentaram diferenças significativas na experiência dos médicos. Sobre encaminhamentos, a maioria (81,32%) considera que os médicos da APS encaminham os pacientes para AE quando necessário, sendo superior o percentual para médicos da APS (92,73%). Quanto à concordância, maior parte dos médicos da APS (67,27%) informou estar de acordo com o tratamento prescrito pelo profissional da AE, enquanto apenas 33,86% dos especialistas concordam com o médico da APS. Sobre a responsabilidade clínica, 89,09% dos médicos da APS afirmaram ser responsáveis clínicos pelo paciente, enquanto apenas 43,31% dos especialistas referiu o mesmo. Sobre a realização de recomendações, maior parte dos entrevistados (63,19%) considerou que os especialistas não fazem recomendações, sendo esse percentual maior entre os médicos da APS (81,82%). A respeito do tempo de espera, a maioria (82,42%) acha que o paciente espera muito para realizar a consulta na AE, sendo o percentual para médicos da APS (98,18%) superior ao da AE (75,59%). O tempo de espera para APS foi considerado longo por apenas 16,36% dos médicos da APS, em contraste com 38,58% dos médicos da AE. Os resultados deste estudo coincidem com investigações semelhantes e evidenciam a necessidade de fortalecer a coordenação clínica entre níveis para alcançar uma integração efetiva das redes assistenciais.
