Cognitive Stimulation Program Presented Through New Technologies in a Group of People with Moderate Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Gonzalez-Moreno Jesús , Satorres Encarnacion , Soria-Urios Gema , Meléndez Juan C.
Published: May 2022

Background: Cognitive stimulation is one of the non-pharmacological therapies recommended for intervention in dementia, consisting of activities involving different cognitive domains and involving brain activation. New technologies can be very useful in this field, favoring intervention tasks. Objective: The objective of this work is to test the effectiveness of a cognitive stimulation intervention mediated with new technologies on a group of people with moderate dementia. Methods: This is a quantitative, quasi-experimental study with a control and treatment group, with three measurement times (pre, post, and follow-up months after the end of the intervention). Ninety-eight subjects with moderate dementia were randomly assigned to the treatment group (N = 50) and the control group (N = 48). The treatment group received 16 intervention sessions including attention, executive function, and memory tasks, which were presented using new technologies and the activity was conducted in a group setting. Control group remained on a waiting list. The evaluators did not know which group each subject belonged to. All participants were assessed with a battery of neuropsychological tests. Results: The results show an improvement in post-intervention outcomes in the treatment group compared to the control group on cognitive variables. No differences were found in mood depression. These results fade overtime after a few months without intervention. Conclusion: This type of intervention is useful to maintain cognitive functioning using new technologies and in a group setting, which favors the intervention. The improvements of the intervention disappear at follow-up, which would indicate the need to maintain the intervention over time.
Additions to Alpha-Sheet Based Hypotheses for the Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Serwer Philip , Wright Elena T. , Hunter Barbara
Published: May 2022

Protein amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers with β-sheet-like backbone (β-structured) form extracellular amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the relationship to AD is not known. Some investigations suggest that the toxic Aβ component has α-sheet-like backbone (α-structured) subsequently detoxified by intracellular α-to-β conversion before plaque formation. Our objective is to compare this latter hypothesis with observations made by electron microscopy of thin sections of AD-cerebral cortex. We observe irregular, 200–2,000 nm, intracellular, lipofuscin-like inclusions. Some are light-staining and smooth. Others are dark-staining and made granular by fibers that are usually overlapping and are sometimes individually seen. Aspects unusual for lipofuscin include 1) dark and light inclusions interlocking as though previously one inclusion, 2) dark inclusion-contained 2.6 nm thick sub-fibers that are bent as though α-structured, and 3) presence of inclusions in lysosomes and apparent transfer of dark inclusion material to damaged, nearby lysosomal membranes. These data suggest the following additions to α-structure-based hypotheses: 1) Lipofuscin-associated, α-structured protein toxicity to lysosomal membranes is in the chain of AD causation; 2) α-to-β detoxification of α-structured protein occurs in lipofuscin and causes dark-to-light transition that, when incomplete, is the origin of cell-to-cell transmission essential for development of AD.
A Research Agenda for Smarter Cyber-Physical Systems

Published: May 2022

With the advancing digitisation of society and industry we observe a progressing blending of computational, physical, and social processes. The trustworthiness and sustainability of these systems will be vital for our society. However, engineering modern computing systems is complex as they have to: i) operate in uncertain and continuously changing environments, ii) deal with huge amounts of data, and iii) require seamless interaction with human operators. To that end, we argue that both systems and the way we engineer them must become smarter. With smarter we mean that systems and engineering processes adapt and evolve themselves through a perpetual process that continuously improves their capabilities and utility to deal with the uncertainties and amounts of data they face. We highlight key engineering areas: cyber-physical systems, self-adaptation, data-driven technologies, and visual analytics, and outline key challenges in each of them. From this, we propose a research agenda for the years to come.
Remote Run-Time Failure Detection and Recovery Control For Quadcopters
Authors: Shahsavari Sajad , Rabah Mohammed , Immonen Eero , Haghbayan Mohammad-Hashem , Plosila Juha
Published: May 2022

We propose an adaptive run-time failure recovery control system for quadcopter drones, based on remote real-time processing of measurement data streams. Particularly, the measured RPM values of the quadcopter motors are transmitted to a remote machine which hosts failure detection algorithms and performs recovery procedure. The proposed control system consists of three distinct parts: (1) A set of computationally simple PID controllers locally onboard the drone, (2) a set of computationally more demanding remotely hosted algorithms for real-time drone state detection, and (3) a digital twin co-execution software platform — the ModelConductor-eXtended — for two-way signal data exchange between the former two. The local on-board control system is responsible for maneuvering the drone in all conditions: path tracking under normal operation and safe landing in a failure state. The remote control system, on the other hand, is responsible for detecting the state of the drone and communicating the corresponding control commands and controller parameters to the drone in real time. The proposed control system concept is demonstrated via simulations in which a drone is represented by the widely studied Quad-Sim six degrees-of-freedom Simulink model. Results show that the trained failure detection binary classifier achieves a high level of performance with F1-score of 96.03%. Additionally, time analysis shows that the proposed remote control system, with average execution time of 0.49 milliseconds and total latency of 6.92 milliseconds in two-way data communication link, meets the real-time constraints of the problem. The potential practical applications for the presented approach are in drone operation in complex environments such as factories (indoor) or forests (outdoor).

Published: May 2022

Accumulating evidence suggests that microglia and peripheral immune cells may play determinant roles in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Consequently, there is a need to take advantage of immune-related models of PD to study the potential contribution of microglia and peripheral immune cells to the degeneration of the nigrostriatal system and help develop potential therapies for PD. In this review, we have summarised the main PD immune models. From a historical perspective, we highlight first the main features of intranigral injections of different pro-inflammogens, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), thrombin, neuromelanin, etc. The use of adenoviral vectors to promote microglia-specific overexpression of different molecules in the ventral mesencephalon, including α-synuclein, IL-1β, and TNF, are also presented and briefly discussed. Finally, we summarise different models associated with peripheral inflammation whose contribution to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is now an outstanding question. Illustrative examples included systemic LPS administration and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in rodents.
Using agronomic data to minimize the impact of field conditions on player injuries and enhance the development of a risk management plan
Authors: Walker Eddie G. , Walker Kristina S.
Published: May 2022

An important aspect of facility management is the development of a comprehensive risk management plan. Player safety has only recently been a consideration when developing a risk management plan. Field conditions have not received much attention as it relates to player safety. Several injuries at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia raised questions about the playing surface being the cause. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of established athletic field agronomic measures to predict injuries from football fields and soccer pitches. Logistic regression was used to predict injury based upon soil compaction, soil moisture, surface firmness, and turfgrass quality. Results indicate that athletic fields that met good standards had the lowest probability of injury and injury probability is the highest when field conditions are considered poor. These results provide parameters facility and athletic field managers can use to determine whether an athletic field demonstrates a low risk of injury, needs to be improved, or a game should be canceled.

Строгий гликемический контроль: обзор литературы
Authors: Ortiz Jonathan Tomaz
Published: May 2022

Сахарный диабет – это заболевание, которое трудно контролировать во всем мире. С момента лучшего понимания современной медициной патофизиологии заболевания было предложено несколько способов контроля эволюции рассматриваемой патологии. В качестве примера можно упомянуть исследование, опубликованное в 1993 г. в исследовании Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) и позднее, в 1998 г., подтвержденное United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), в котором гликированный гемоглобин был установлен как один из основных маркеров эволюции и прогноза заболевания. С момента публикации этих исследований такие цели, как: строгий гликемический контроль (соответствующий целевому уровню гликированного гемоглобина ниже или равному 6,5 мг/дл), были приняты мировым медицинским сообществом в качестве эталонов при контроле и последующем наблюдении за болезнь. В этом контексте в настоящей статье главным вопросом является: следует ли добиваться строгого гликемического контроля для всех пациентов? На основе обзора литературы выяснить, требуется ли гликемический контроль для всех пациентов. Поэтому был проведен обзор литературы по опубликованным статьям по рассматриваемой теме с целью сосредоточить внимание на четвертичной профилактике и важности надлежащей клинической практики в сотрудничестве с доказательной медициной. Результаты показывают, что в случае строгого гликемического контроля нет никаких доказательств преимуществ его использования в целом, поскольку в литературе сообщается, что в некоторых группах населения, особенно в возрасте старше 80 лет, его использование связано с увеличением последствия, побочные эффекты и заболеваемость, вызванные заболеванием.

Les Fribourgeoises sortent de l’ombre! Un travail sur des archives locales réalisé par et pour des élèves de 10H
Authors: Cesa Sandro , Ducaté Sandrine , Unternährer Lukas
Published: May 2022

As part of the festivities organized for the 50th anniversary of women’s right to vote in Switzerland and in Fribourg (1971-2021), a group of teachers and students from the 10th HarmoS year explores local and regional history through the lens of women’s rights and gender. This project will result in the creation of teaching kits intended for Fribourg’s middle schools. By analyzing materials drawn from local archives, students will be able to discover the history of their region and draw their attention to the status of women in Fribourg between the 15th and the early 20th century. What was the role of women in pre-industrial and industrial society? How did their rights and opportunities differ from those of men? What can we learn about the history of Fribourg by studying sources relevant to women’s history, and how does that change the traditional perspective? These are some of the questions that the students will explore with the help of documents from the canton’s museums and archives.

Hortbetreuung ab 1886 – ein neuer Frauenberuf entsteht
Authors: Staub Mirjam
Published: May 2022

Protagonists of the bourgeois women’s movement stepped up their efforts after the turn of the century to expand access to employment for women of the middle classes. They opened up new fields of work, founded new training centers for women, and began to define female wage-earning employment as an important contribution to society. This led to gains in emancipation for women. At the same time, however, women were thereby pinned down to stereotyped «feminine qualities», and fields of work in which more women were employed were perceived as «feminine». This process can be well illustrated by the example of the first after-school programs in German-speaking Switzerland. From the middle of the 19th century, to be an after-school care teacher became a new profession, increasingly chosen by women and increasingly perceived as a female profession.
Qui veut être invisibilisée? Les femmes comme addendum dans les manuels scolaires d’histoire dans le contexte portugais
Authors: Cabecinhas Rosa , Balbé Alice
Published: May 2022

Women in current history textbooks in Portuguese education continue to be stereotyped and invisible as historical agents. Many images of women appear to illustrate family life, royalty, art, beauty and consumption. A few ‘exceptional’ women are presented as being ‘the first’ in activities considered masculine. These ‘addendum women’ seem to have been added to include female faces without challenging androcentrism. Regarding feminist struggles, the suffragettes are the only ones to receive some attention, but still with striking silences.

La gouvernance des transports publics comme mesure de l’intégration transfrontalière en Europe de l’Ouest. L’exemple des trois Eurodistricts de Sarrebruck, Strasbourg et Bâle
Authors: Beyer Antoine , Reitel Bernard
Published: May 2022

L’offre de transport public reflète d’une certaine manière le niveau de solidarité et de mise en cohérence territoriale de l’espace urbanisé. Cette observation prend d’autant plus de poids dans les agglomérations transfrontalières, ces espaces urbains caractérisés par une continuité morphologique et qui sont traversés par une ou plusieurs frontières internationales. L’analyse des transports publics a été effectuée dans trois agglomérations transfrontalières (Sarrebruck, Strasbourg et Bâle) situées chacune sur la dyade franco-allemande ainsi que la frontière suisse pour la dernière. Chacune de ces agglomérations a élaboré un projet urbain visant à structurer l’agglomération dans une perspective d’intégration européenne. L’objectif de cet article est d’une part d’analyser l’influence de la frontière sur l’offre de transport public et, d’autre part, de voir si les projets en cours per mettent d’envisager une réduction des effets de barrière et une plus grande intégration. Le réseau de transport public des trois agglomérations étudiées s’organise selon des systèmes interconnectés de sous-ensembles nationaux. La réalisation de nouvelles lignes en site propre semble en mesure de renforcer une intégration matérielle et fonctionnelle, mais l’intégration territoriale est difficile à mettre en œuvre. L’élaboration d’un système de régulation qui dépasserait les pratiques actuelles de bonne coopération risquerait de remettre en cause les équilibres existants.
Être jeune et habiter les espaces périurbains : la double peine ?
Authors: Didier-Fèvre Catherine
Published: May 2022

L’adolescence est un moment particulier de la vie, celui de la construction identitaire. Devenir autonome passe par le fait de pouvoir se déplacer seul, celui d’explorer de nouveaux lieux à l’abri des regards parentaux, en compagnie de ses pairs. La spécificité des espaces périurbains (tissu lâche, discontinuités, offre limitée en transports en commun) nous a conduit à nous demander si leurs jeunes habitants n’étaient pas victimes d’une « double peine », en raison de leur localisation résidentielle et de l’âge particulier qu’ils vivent.
Le paysage, une catégorie d'action publique? Discussion autour de la révision de la loi sur l’aménagement du territoire
Authors: Ruegg Jean , Letissier Fanny
Published: May 2022

L’initiative populaire «De l’espace pour l’homme et la nature (Initiative pour le paysage)», lancée en juillet 2007 en Suisse, intrigue. Le paysage y figure dans son titre mais plus dans son texte qui porte uniquement sur deux aspects spécifiques de la politique d’aménagement du territoire. Pourquoi cette anomalie? Cet article prend prétexte de cette interrogation pour discuter des dimensions politiques du paysage. De l’instrumentalisation pour renforcer le dispositif en matière d’aménagement du territoire à la mobilisation de symboles identitaires, plusieurs dimensions sont présentes. Mais elles ne suffisent pas pour affirmer sans réserve que le paysage est devenu en Suisse une catégorie d’action publique à part entière.

Literature Review on Trends of Comprehension Instruction for Elementary School Students
Authors: Parlindungan Firman , Prasetya Willy
Published: May 2022

Abstract: The objective of this article is to construct evidence-based arguments on what comprehension is and what are various instructional approaches to improve comprehension post the National Reading Panel’s (NRP) report (2000). The NRP (2000) reported seven text comprehension instructions that have scientific evidences in improving reading comprehension. Those instructions are: (1) comprehension monitoring, (2) cooperative learning, (3) graphic and semantic organizers, (4) question answering, (5) question generation, (6) summarization, and (7) multiple strategies. It has been more that 20 years since the NRP reviewed empirical evidences of those text comprehension instructions. What have we learnt since then? Having reviewed 29 studies on comprehension instruction published in the past twenty years, we found top three comprehension instructions that are used in elementary classroom. They are: (1) differentiated/individualized reading instruction, (2) vocabulary-based reading instruction, and (3) transactional approach. These findings informed us that further research on elementary reading comprehension instruction needed. Also, the NRP categorization of comprehension instruction (2000) needs modification.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. It is of special concern during pregnancy because can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes and congenital syphilis. We retrospectively included female patient with laboratory-confirmed syphilis in East Java. Demographic, pregnancy record, clinical, radiological, laboratory, and treatment data were reviewed from medical record and health of both mother and child book. Clinical characteristics and outcome of patient were described. The patient was 40-year-old multiparous pregnant women was referred to the hospital at 40 weeks of gestation due to early latent syphilis. The patient was diagnosed during the last trimester and had not been treated, but no vulvar and anal genital wart was found. Patient was scheduled to urgent section caesarean but 1 hour after admitted to the hospital, patient had spontaneous delivery. A healthy son was born (3400 g /50 cm, 10 points Apgar score). Due to the lack of documentation regarding treatment of maternal syphilis, crystalline penicillin was administered to the newborn. Screening and early penicillin treatment are the most important factors that can eliminate complications related to the prenatal contagion with Treponema pallidum. Yet despite the lack of treatment or its inappropriate administration, the pregnancy complicated with maternal syphilis may end in a completely different way.

Penjajahan dan kezaliman yang berlaku ke atas rakyat Palestin sementelahan pula kebisuan  negara-negara berkuasa besar dan peranan Palestinian National Authority yang terbatas atau mempunyai kapasiti agak memuaskan, maka hadirnya pelbagai jenis NGO menjalankan aktiviti bantuan kemanusiaan terhadap golongan rentan ini. Matlamat utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti bentuk-bentuk penglibatan dan sumbangan NGO kemanusiaan Malaysia dalam isu kemanusiaan Palestin. Berasaskan pendekatan kualitatif, kajian telah menjalankan temu bual mendalam bersama tiga pegawai NGO Aman Palestin. Pemilihan NGO ini adalah berdasarkan bantuannya yang mengkhususkan kepada Palestin dan penglibatan secara aktif sejak penubuhan organisasi tersebut. Penemuan kajian telah menunjukkan terdapat pelbagai bentuk sumbangan bantuan kemanusiaan Aman Palestin menerusi projek yang melibatkan sektor ekonomi, pendidikan, sosial, kesihatan, pertanian dan insfratruktur telah menyumbang kelestarian hidup rakyat di sana. Penglibatan aktif melalui aktiviti-aktiviti yang dijalankan di Malaysia telah mempertingkatkan kesedaran mengenai isu Palestin dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, projek dan aktiviti Aman Palestin dilihat lebih bersifat islamisasi yang mensasarkan golongan beragama Islam sahaja. Isu Palestin perlu diangkat sebagai isu kemanusiaan bukan agama semata-mata supaya semua lapisan masyarakat tanpa mengira latar belakang agama dapat berganding bahu dalam membantah penjajahan Israel.
 
The presence of various NGOs carrying out humanitarian aid activities for Palestinian due to occupation and oppression concurrently the silence between superpowers and the limited role of the Palestinian National Authority. The purpose of this study is to identify the forms of involvement and contribution of Malaysian humanitarian NGOs in Palestinian humanitarian issues. Based on a qualitative approach, the study conducted in-depth interviews with three Aman Palestin officials. The selection of this NGO was based on specialized assistance to Palestine and its active involvement since the organization’s establishment. The findings have shown there are various humanitarian aid projects conducted by Aman Palestin involving the economic, educational, social, health, agricultural, and infrastructure sectors. Indubitably, the projects have contributed to the sustainability of the Palestinians’ lives. Active involvement through activities conducted in Malaysia has increased awareness of the Palestinian issue among the Malaysian community. However, Aman Palestin projects and activities are seen to be more religious in nature targeting Muslims solely. The Palestinian issue ought to be raised as a non-religious humanitarian issue in order for all societies regardless of religious background cooperatively in protesting Israeli occupation.

Cash flows from destinations to sending homes may capture a core feature of remittance practices, yet, like the act of migrating, the flows do not take place in a vacuum.  Rather they are part of a complex and dynamic system linking movers and non-movers. While the complex dynamism of remittance practices can be a challenge, as the articles included in this volume of Remittance Reviews note, understanding is within our reach.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Seasonal keratoconjunctivitis of military personals in Chattogram area causes loss of many working hours with prolonged sufferings.
Objective: To explore the outcome of using Ganciclovir in seasonal viral keratoconjunctivitis in Combined Military Hospital, Chattogram.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted in department of ophthalmology of Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Chattogram, from January 2013 to September 2018. Diagnosis was made by clinical signs, symptoms and laboratory study of conjunctival smear to exclude bacterial or fungal cause. Initially they were treated with artificial tear and antibiotic to prevent secondary bacterial infection. After three days of complete rest, the cases presented with static or further deteriorated condition were treated with Ganciclovir eye gel five times a day for two weeks. After subsidence of acute redness, topical dexamethasone was also applied for 4 times and then 3 times at one week interval. Follow up periods were 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months subsequently.
Results: A total of 2678 cases were included in our study. About 78% of the patients were male and 22% were female. 95% patients were from age group of young and serving personnel. Ganciclovir was used in 750 (28%) cases. With conventional treatment, recovery of sign symptoms took 3 weeks (SD-3±1 weeks). Recovery was observed within 10 (9±2 day) days in 450 (60%) cases of using Ganciclovir. Short term complications such as pseudomembrane formation were found in 24% cases and corneal ulcer in 1 case. Superficial punctate keratitis (SPK) was found in 22% cases even after 3 months.
Conclusion: Treating viral conjunctivitis without long term vision impairing sequel is a challenging job due to nonspecific presentation. Without specific features of bacterial or fungal conjunctivitis, patients of seasonal keratoconjunctivitis treated with Ganciclovir provide prompt resolution which save working hours of serving personnel.
