Coronary artery disease has been leading cause of death in the world, angioplasty stent implantation is an important strategy in these cases. Studies indicate that biodegradability, immobilization of antiproliferatives and bioactive molecules in stents, are the characteristics of future generations of these devices. Amongst them, hyaluronic acid contributes to decrease of the aggregation and proliferation of cells between artery layers and the implanted device. For this purpose, poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) bioresorbable coronary stents with hyaluronic acid (HA) grafting in poly (LD- lactic acid) (PLDLA) were developed. The models were characterized as their thermal properties with Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetric Analysis (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), Wettability, with study of Contact Angle using Water swelling. PLDLA ADH-modified HA grafting presented more hydrophilic surface characteristics, ideal for coating material of this devices. In conclusion, grafting of hyaluronic acid in the PLDLA matrices confirmed, by technics used at this project. The coating of models of PLLA with PLDLA-HAADH made by dip coating technic.
Development of a ECG remote monitoring system

Published: March 2020

The continuous monitoring of cardiac activity using conventional electrocardiography systems restricts signals acquisition to specific locations such as hospitals and medical clinics, and Holters systems don’t transmit the information about the electrocardiogram to the doctor and don’t react if the patient suffers from a cardiac abnormality, they only record the information. Portable remote systems have shown to provide mobility and comfort to the patient by allowing signals acquisition anywhere. This paper shows a remote monitoring system of the cardiac activity capable of performing the acquisition of ECG signals using a smartphone having Android, Bluetooth® communication and 3G technology for processing and visualizing ECG signals. The designed system is battery powered and three electrodes are attached to the patient’s chest to obtain the signals. It was developed a low consumption electronic circuit for acquiring and conditioning these signals using instrumentation and operational amplifiers. The processed ECG signal is then digitalized by an Arduino Nano, and transmitted by Bluetooth from Arduino to the patient’s smartphone so it can be sent to a workstation through 3G technology where the electrocardiogram may be analyzed by a physician. The results obtained on the tests performed validate the developed prototype regarding the acquired ECG signals in the oscilloscope and the developed Android application, which were compared with the ECG signals obtained using a conventional electrocardiography system. The proposed system aims to perform signal acquisition and transmission independent of time and the patient’s location, allow early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, reduce the number of the doctor’s visits required, besides providing a device more comfortable to the patient during the monitoring of electrocardiogram signals while performing daily activities.

Published: March 2020

Para assegurar a segurança e detectar anormalidades, dados de temperatura são coletados diariamente em Itaipu Binacional. Isto se deve à forte influência da variação de temperaturas na formação de fissuras nas estruturas de concreto. Assim, é proposto um método de previsão de series temporais de temperatura a partir do método de Holt Winters. Para verificar a qualidade da previsão dos dados, foi realizada a simulação termodinâmica de barragem do tipo contrafortes. Para isso, a estrutura foi modelada via método dos elementos finitos e sua dinâmica foi simulada com auxílio do software ANSYS. A série temporal de temperaturas que melhor se ajustou aos dados reais foi comparada, no ponto de interesse, com a distribuição de temperaturas em estado transiente do ano de 2017, obtida em simulação computacional (Figura 1). Foi obtido um MAPE de 3,22%, o que valida a previsão realizada e viabiliza a utilização dos resultados para a determinação de deslocamentos na estrutura em trabalhos futuros.

In order to understand the full image concerning activity of regional TV channels we used the comparative analysis method. Due to its components such as analogy, analysis and composition, comparing separate events and processes (in order to conduct its quality and quantity characteristics) we reached the possibility to identify similarities and differences in approaches, management, styles of TV channels in Odesa region, Poltava region, Sumy region and Chernivtsi region. Taking as a basis a fact that absolutely different issues are to be compared, subjects of research are TV channels both similar, and different according to its technical capacities, resource capabilities such as city and regional level TV channels.

We concluded that regional television channels, which, in turn, differ in the number of employees, transmitter power, coverage radius of the broadcast signal, etc., to considerable extent lack of genre diversity, the breadth of themes. The reasons for this are, on the one hand, in insufficient financial and economic opportunities, and on the other hand, in the absence of creativity, unwillingness to change something in their work. In addition, as the study shows, not in all cases the decisive factors here are the scale of the channel, the number of employees, and the level of resource support.

Regional television channels and regional media as a whole are currently functioning in conditions of incredible competition in the market for information influence, a substantial increase in content, thematic offerings at times, in conditions of expanding communication platforms and the source database. Thematic content of the news, their genre diversity are peculiar markers in the work of regional TV channels. Scientists in Ukraine and abroad continue to research on these issues. According to significance of reserves identification in news editors office, we also consider the researches of regional media is still needed. Research novelty consists in comparison of certain directions both similar and different on its organizational framework, coverage radius of the broadcast signal.

Small TV channels on city level as a rule are not involved into nationwide monitoring, conducted by non-governmental media organizations. They do not conduct its own monitoring and researches. Obtained results, conclusions and recommendations can be used for introduction of alternations in working process by TV- and radio companies, more specifically by editors office of informative programs.

ВИВЧЕННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ КНИГИ ЯК СОЦІАЛЬНО-КОМУНІКАЦІЙНОГО ФЕНОМЕНУ В ПЕРІОД 1917–1920-Х РОКІВ
Authors: Leontieva T.
Published: March 2020

The basic characteristics of the historical period of the beginning of the study of the Ukrainian book as a social-communication phenomenon in Ukraine (at that time – the Ukrainian SSR) in reference to 1917–1920-ies are analyzed. On the example of some publications of the «Knyzhnyk» («Bibliognost»), «Knyha» («Book»), «Knyzhka» («Book») journals, and also taking into account discussions between Ukrainian bibliographers M. Kufaiev and D. Balyka, it was concluded about the genesis of the vision of the Ukrainian book as a social-communication phenomenon in this very period.

It is emphasized that this period was a turning point in the study of many social-communication characteristics of the Ukrainian book. First of all, this concerns the problems of the typological structure of the book market and the auditory factor of the book’s functioning as a social-communication phenomenon. Publications in the «Knyzhnyk» («Bibliognost»), «Knyha» («Book»), «Knyzhka» («Book») journals started a professional discussion on problems of text preparation, publications design and their distribution. Two approaches to studying the Ukrainian book were distinguished: of M. Kufaiev, who believed that the book was a striking expression of the social-communication characteristics of mass communication, and of D. Balyka, who insisted on the need to take into account first and foremost the sociological features of the book’s circulation as a mass communication product.

It is emphasized that the scientific concept of the science of social communications – the study of the book as a social-communication phenomenon – is developing. Most of the provisions of this concept were formed by the theorists of journalism and publishing in the 1920s, and these provisions have considerable theoretical and historiographical value. They can serve as a basis for modern developments in the field of social communication science.

Published: March 2020

The article presents a conceptual analysis of Reconstruction notion which became a conceptual foundation of Ukrainian history in Stalinism era. Through the methodological prism of social engineering, the author studies the lingual techniques of embedding the new era ideological messages into the mental structure of personality. An interesting feature of this research is a comparative analysis of two modernism projects – American reconstruction in 1863–1877 and socio-political breakup of the Stalinism era. The author draws on extensive factual material including J. Stalin’s speeches, Ukrainian scientific periodical publications of 1930s etc. to look into the public and methodological planes of interpreting the Reconstruction construct. The article demonstrates the process of verbal coding for specific fragments or ‘pieces’ of the conceptual system and argues that information manipulation arises at the stage of language-related cognition of the world, interpretation of certain words and their meaning. It is this specifics that leads to creating an informational picture of the world that cannot be constituted without a language and enables an individual to go beyond their direct experience. The article shows the dynamics of implanting the idea of Reconstruction into the concept sphere of Soviet people and its development from the first public presentation of the word in Stalin’s speeches to its entrenchment in scientific discourse. Scholars of the time strived to justify, rationalize and give ground to Stalin’s ideas in terms of building new utopian society systems. Since early 1930s, the Reconstruction concept has been associated with drastic transformations in agriculture, education system, culture and science, mass media and households. In the course of the research the author resorted to general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, systematization, comparison, as well as conceptual analysis.

The methodological basis of the conducted research is based on the use of methods of monitoring and analysis of documents; generalization by the method of qualitative and quantitative study of primary and secondary information. Selection for the analysis of archival periodicals was made on the chronological principle of 1930 – early 1931. At the first stage, a qualitative analysis was carried out, which further deepened the logical studies of the content of radio programs, tracking the transformation processes in radio broadcasting caused by the evolution of ideas about financing such initiatives, access to local ones, local genres. design, etc.

The basic prerequisites for the creation of the first periodic Ukrainian clock in the multicultural radio space of the USA are outlined. The public discussion in the industry, the state of the development of the technical support of the radio signal reception, the conditions of its access and the quality of listening are analyzed. The content of such initiatives, their content, timing, musical and genre design are described. The importance of community unity and the development of a common constructive position on addressing important public issues were emphasized, in particular with regard to the organizational and financial provision of national music radio hours. It was found that despite the complexity of the organizational nature of the community of Ukrainians were able to present to the world, and most importantly to realize the need to design national presentation media sites that would position them favorably among other peoples.

The retrospective of the formation of foreign Ukrainian media space in the context of the radio production process of the early twentieth century was first documented.

The wide potential of using the results of the research is not limited to scientific discourse, but is an important documentary evidence of the high organization and development of the Ukrainian community in the world and the ramifications of its media structure.

The article describes the main media visualization tools and describes typical gender images that are portrayed in the media. The influence of media on the creation, change and dissemination of stereotypes is outlined. The process and consequences of the transformation of gender roles, depending on the socio-historical context and the features of their contemporary identification in the magazine media for men, are examined. Monitoring of periodicals illustrated, on the one hand, the existing system of imagery (illustrations, dies, lines, footnotes, cuts, color, free space, various decorative elements) and components of illumination of a certain media image – on the other. Emphasis is placed on the ratio of visual and textual content in this plane.

It has been found that in the counters of modern men’s magazines there is a considerable number of photographs depicting women, mostly thought leaders in their fields. As a rule, in most of the photos the woman is shown in a certain role: «Barbie-woman», «Cinderella», «glamor maiden», «bitch-woman», «superwoman», «cosmo-woman», «feminist», «caregiver», «a militaristic woman». Among the most common female media images portrayed in the mass media GQ, Esquire and Men’s Health is named «cosmo-woman», «glamor maiden» and «Cinderella», which allowed to state: modern magazines for the general public, in particular for men, aimed at depicting women in the popular nowadays.

As a result of a practical study of magazines, stereotypes that are no longer indicative of the current information world have been identified, as well as factors that influence the emergence or, on the contrary, the disappearance of gender roles in the media environment.

Adding Edges for Maximizing Weighted Reachability
Authors: Corò Federico , D'Angelo Gianlorenzo , Pinotti Cristina M.
Published: March 2020

In this paper, we consider the problem of improving the reachability of a graph. We approach the problem from a graph augmentation perspective, in which a limited set size of edges is added to the graph to increase the overall number of reachable nodes. We call this new problem the Maximum Connectivity Improvement (MCI) problem. We first show that, for the purpose of solve solving MCI, we can focus on Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) only. We show that approximating the MCI problem on DAG to within any constant factor greater than 1 − 1 / e is NP -hard even if we restrict to graphs with a single source or a single sink, and the problem remains NP -complete if we further restrict to unitary weights. Finally, this paper presents a dynamic programming algorithm for the MCI problem on trees with a single source that produces optimal solutions in polynomial time. Then, we propose two polynomial-time greedy algorithms that guarantee ( 1 − 1 / e ) -approximation ratio on DAGs with a single source, a single sink or two sources.

Published: March 2020

Ancho-type pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a crop susceptible to Pythium ultimum, which has already been controlled with synthetic fungicide applications; however, marine antagonist microorganisms could be an alternative source of control. The efficiency in vitro and in vivo of marine bacteria and yeasts was determined against P. ultimum. The inhibition of the radial growth of P. ultimum was quantified in vitro by the bacteria Stenotrophomonas rhizophila KM01 and KM02; Bacillus subtilis RBM01 and RBM02, B. amyloliquefaciens 2RLBF and 3R4CF; and Pseudomonas spp. 2R6BF and 2RE9CF, as well as the yeasts Debaryomyces hansenii 1R11AB, 1R11CB, and LL01 and Cryptococcus laurentii 2R3BF and 2R1CB. The β-1,3-glucanase activity of the marine microorganisms was quantified in the presence of the phytopathogen. The disease index (DI), growth parameters, and colony forming units (CFU) were determined in ancho-type pepper plants inoculated with marine bacteria, yeasts, and P. ultimum. The radial zone of the phytopathogen was inhibited by 80% and 75% by S. rhizophila KM01 and C. laurentii 2R1CB, respectively. D. hansenii LL01 and S. rhizophila KM02 showed the highest activity of β-1,3-glucanase, with 6060 U/mL and 47 U/mL, respectively. B. subtilis RBM02 protected 100% of the plants from the oomycete, and an increase was quantified in all the growth parameters and CFU. The use of these marine bacteria and yeasts are, therefore, an option for P. ultimum biocontrol in ancho-type pepper plants, thereby minimizing the application of synthetic fungicides.

Published: March 2020

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most popular vegetables in the world. In tomato production, due to the effects of diseases, insect pests, drought, and cold damage, large-scale production reduction is often caused. Plant trichomes are protruding attachments distributed on the surface of different plants, providing protection for plants. When the plant is under external stress, the trichomes can play an important role in protecting the plant from damage through its physical structure. The density and type of different trichomes are closely related to the stress resistance of tomatoes. The tomato wo mutant LA3186 (referred to herein as “3186M”), LA3186 (referred to herein as “3186L”), the ln mutant LA3-071 (referred to herein as “3-071”), and the tomato cultivar Jia Ren (referred to herein as “JR”, used as the control), which possess different numbers of trichomes on the surface of the leaves, were used as materials; the glandular characteristics, types, and densities of the trichomes were observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM); and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the subcellular structure in the leaves. The relationship between the different tomato trichomes and stress resistance was investigated with treatments of low temperature, drought, disease, and insects. This study provides a theoretical foundation and practical basis for the further utilization and regulation of the trichome-related characteristics of tomatoes.

The vertnin (VRTN) gene g.20311_20312ins291 was reported as an important variant related to the number of ribs (RIB), and the ins/ins genotype was advantageous for improving RIB of Western pigs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the VRTN gene g.20311_20312ins291 influences RIB, carcass traits, and body size traits, including cannon bone circumference (CBC) in Chinese Suhuai pigs. We found that the VRTN gene g.20311_20312ins291 was polymorphic in Suhuai fattening pigs and gilts. The polymorphism of g.20311_20312ins291 was significantly associated with RIB and CDL in Suhuai fattening pigs (p < 0.01), whereas this variant had no influence on carcass weight (CWT). There was a tendency of association between this variant and carcass straight length (CSL) in Suhuai fattening pigs (p = 0.06). The polymorphism of g.20311_20312ins291 was also significantly associated with CBC in Suhuai gilts (p = 0.04). Furthermore, CBC was positively genetically correlated with body length (0.22, p < 0.01) and body weight (0.15, p < 0.01). Our results indicated that the VRTN gene g.20311_20312ins291 could be used as a potential marker for improving RIB, CDL, and CBC in Suhuai pigs.

There is little information available to describe the inflammatory consequences of and recovery from moderate-intensity exercise bouts in hunting dogs. The purpose of the current study is to generate pilot data on the appearance and disappearance of biomarkers of inflammation and inflammation resolution following a typical one-hour exercise bout in basset hounds. Four hounds were set out to find a scent and freely adopted running or walking over wooded terrain for approximately one hour. Venous blood samples were obtained before the exercise and at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 h following cessation of exercise and were analyzed for biomarkers of inflammation (prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin 1β (IL-1β)) tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)), and inflammation resolution (resolvin D1 (RvD1)). There was an increase in inflammation one hour after the exercise, shown by a significant increase in PGE2. Following this peak, PGE2 steadily declined at the same time as RvD1 increased, with RvD1 peaking at six hours. This pilot study provides evidence that dogs that undergo an hour of hunt exercise experience transient inflammation that peaks one hour after the end of exercise; inflammation resolution peaks six hours after the end of exercise. Future studies should seek to further understand the distinct and combined roles of PGE2 and RvD1 in dog adaptation to exercise stress.

The objective of the study was to assess the effects of feeding sunflower meal (SM) and seeds (SS) protected against rumen degradation on carcass characteristics and composition and fatty acid (FA) profile of lamb meat. The protection of SM and SS was achieved by treating both feeds with malic acid at 150 °C for 2 h (MAH treatment) and in a previous study this treatment was shown to decrease ruminal degradability of protein of both feeds and fat degradability of SS. Two homogeneous groups of 12 lambs each were fed ad libitum high-cereal concentrates and cereal straw from 14 to 26 kg of body weight. The two concentrates differed only in the treatment SM and SS, which were included either untreated (control) or MAH treated. The MAH-fed lambs had greater thickness of dorsal fat (p = 0.016) and greater (p ≤ 0.016) values of the color parameters a* (redness) and C* (chromaticity) of the Rectus abdominis muscle. However, there were no differences in carcass measurements and in water-holding capacity, chemical composition, pH, color, or fatty acid of Longissimus muscle. In summary, the MAH treatment resulted in only subtle changes in meat composition and quality.

This study investigated the effects of a short-term administration of bovine colostrum (BC) in a TNBS model of induced colitis. Colitis was induced by TNBS treatment after seven days of BC (BC group, n = 12) or saline (control group, n = 12) administration in mice. Clinical signs, histopathological characteristics, expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and microbial composition were assessed. BC was well tolerated and did not induce any histological damage or clinical symptoms. After TNBS treatment, the BC group showed a reduction in body weight (BW) loss compared to Control (p < 0.05). Moreover, expression levels of TLR4 (p < 0.01), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β; p < 0.001), Interleukin-8 (IL-8; p < 0.001), and Interleukin-10 (IL-10; p < 0.001) were lower in mice administered with BC. Finally, Escherichia coli were higher (p < 0.05), while Enterococci (p < 0.001), Lactobacillus spp. (p < 0.001), and Bifidobacterium spp. (p < 0.05) were lower in Control than BC group. This study confirms that pre-treatment with BC modulates the expression of genes and the count of microbes involved in the etiopathogenesis of colitis.

This study was conducted to determine and compare digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) values and the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and nutrients in eight ingredients fed to both growing pigs and sows. Two experiments with 48 crossbred barrows or six non-pregnant sows were allotted to eight treatments in a completely randomized design or a pseudo Latin square with six replicated pigs per dietary treatment. The dietary treatments were formulated with two cereal ingredients: corn and wheat; two ingredients with a high protein level and a low fiber level (HPLF): soybean meal (SBM) and cottonseed meal (CSM); two ingredients with medium protein level and medium fiber level (MPMF): corn distiller’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and corn germ meal (CGM); and two ingredients with a low protein level and a high fiber level (LPHF): wheat bran (WB) and palm kernel meal (PKM), respectively. Adult sows had greater DE and ME values and ATTD of energy and nutrients when fed cereal ingredients compared with growing pigs, and had lower DE and ME contents and ATTD of energy and nutrients except for acid detergent fiber (ADF) when fed HPLF ingredients compared with growing pigs. Moreover, no differences were observed between adult sows and growing pigs in DE and ME contents and ATTD of energy and nutrients when fed MPMF and LPHF ingredients, except that adult sows showed a greater ATTD of crude protein (CP) when fed MPMF ingredients compared with growing pigs. Our results indicate that sows had a lower available energy and nutrient digestibility when fed SBM or CSM compared with growing pigs. Crude protein contents in ingredients should be considered when predicting DE and ME values in sows based on the DE and ME values measured from growing pigs.

Resource efficient winter-feeding of mature pregnant beef cows requires knowledge of how different roughage-based feeding strategies affect cow intake and energy status. Four diets based on traditional timothy-meadow fescue silage (TM), festulolium silage plus urea (FE), reed canarygrass silage (RC) or barley straw supplemented with urea and rapeseed meal (BR), were fed ad libitum for 16 weeks prepartum to 36 Hereford cows. Postpartum, cows were fed the same diet before release on pasture. Individual data on cow intake, changes in body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS) and plasma metabolites, calf birth and weaning weights were recorded. The TM and FE diets resulted in increased BW and BCS prepartum (p < 0.001), while the RC and BR diets resulted in a catabolic state, as indicated by a loss of BCS, lower insulin levels and higher non-esterified fatty acid levels in cows fed BR (p < 0.001). There were no dietary effects on calf parameters (p > 0.29). Feeding RC or BR prepartum might be a possible alternative to traditional timothy-meadow fescue silage if cows are allowed to regain lost BCS during the grazing period. The influence on cow reproductive- and calf performance should be considered before making this management change.

The housing of fattening pigs, their feeding, and the emissions associated with this process are subjects of criticism. In order to reduce emissions and ensure resource efficiency, new paths must be taken; animals must be fed closer to their actual needs. In a pig fattening farm, 655 animals were grouped according their body weight and their body composition, consisting of weight and muscle-fat-ratio, which was determined by ultrasound examinations. The influence of different concentrations of triticale whole plant silage (WPS) (from 2.5% to 10%) on the feed intake capacity (3.88 kg to 2.71 kg (88% dry matter (DM))) of each group and the ability to control it was determined. Ammonia emissions were measured and the pens floor pollution was assessed. The animals could be distinguished significantly from each other by ultrasound examinations. The crude fiber influenced the level of daily feed intake. Ammonia emissions were not negatively influenced and could be partly reduced. There was no negative impact on surface contamination due to the increased use of crude fiber. The amount of daily feed intake was controlled by crude fiber rich diets. If these findings are adapted to certain types of pigs, a reduction of emissions and an increased resource efficiency can be expected.
