Hodgkin's Disease
Authors: Canellos George P.
Published: December 2021

Hodgkin's disease is one of the most curable of the malignant tumors that afflict children. Cure can be achieved by radiation alone for localized Hodgkin's disease or by chemotheraphy alone for advanced disease. Combined treatment is comparably effective for intermediate stages, but it entails a greater order of toxicity. Combined-modality treatment, is usually indicated if staging laparotomy is to be avoided. A major concern is the long-term toxicity of treatment, especially immunosuppression and the possibility of treatment-induced leukemia. These problems are minor when compared with the gratifying cure rate effected by modern therapy. Research into the pathogenesis of Hodgkin's disease suggests that an infectious agent may mediate the genesis of the disease and its immune defect. Recent work demonstrating a unique human tumor virus associated with a T-cell leukemia in patients in Japanese and the West Indies may indicate an opening in our understanding of the etiology of Hodgkin's disease.
Anemia in the Newborn Infant
Authors: Dickerman Joseph D.
Published: December 2021

The proper management of anemia in the newborn period, as at any age, requires an accurate diagnosis. It is helpful to divide the many possible etiologies into three major categories: blood loss, increased destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis), and decreased production of red blood cells (bone marrow aplasia or hypoplasia).

DEFINITION

The first step in the diagnosis of neonatal anemia is to define it. Normal hematologic values during the first 2 weeks of life in the term infant are presented in Table 1. Similar values for infants of low birth weight have been published by Stockman and Oski. The more common anemias will be discussed in terms of findings on physical examination, history, ry, laboratory studies, and management with reference to groups of conditions (Tables 2 and 3) rather than to specific disease entities. The less common disorders will be either omitted or described only briefly. The anemia of prematurity will not be covered. A discussion of this topic can be found in the article by Stockman.

Approach to Diagnosis

The usual approach to diagnosis, taking a history and then performing a physical examination, has been reversed in this paper. In most cases, a physician is called to see a neonate suspected of being anemic because of signs and/or symptoms of shock, pallor, or a low hemoglobin concentration, and the physician examines the infant prior to obtaining a history.
Early Recognition and Referral of Hearing-Impaired Children
Authors: Matkin Noel D.
Published: December 2021

For many children, sensorineural hearing loss is detected relatively late, assuming that the goal is to minimize the pervasive impact of the impaired hearing upon cognitive, language, social, and communicative development. Shortcomings in current neonatal screening programs, confusion among parents due to such children's inconsistent auditory behavior, the reluctance of some physicians to refer children for evaluation at an early age, and the fact that some sensorineural losses are acquired after birth, are all factors that contribute to the delay in recognizing and referring youngsters with hearing impairment. After considering this composite of problems, it becomes apparent that no single recommendation for modification of current health care delivery programs will assure early detection. However, physicians can play a key role in timely recognition and referral of hearing-impaired children during the period from birth to kindergarten if attention is focused on determining those youngsters who are manifesting significant early delays in speech and language development.
Characterization on the correlation between SPT-N and small strain shear modulus Gmax of Jiangsu silts of China
Authors: Chu Ya , Liu Songyu , Cai Guojun
Published: December 2021

Small strain shear modulus plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of site response parameters. Only few authors used measured density and shear wave velocity (Vs) to estimate small strain shear modulus. In this study, an attempt has been made to develop the regression relationship between standard penetration test (SPT) N values and the small strain shear modulus (Gmax). For this purpose, field investigations SPT and seismic piezocone penetration test (SCPTU) data from locations in Su-Xin Expressway of China, have been used, which were also used for ground improvement project. The in situ density of soil layer was estimated using undisturbed soil samples from the boreholes. The Vs profiles with depth were obtained for the locations close to the boreholes. The values for small strain shear modulus have been calculated by measured Vs and in situ soil density. About 50 pairs of SPT-N and Gmax values were used for regression analysis. The differences between measured and corrected values which were used in fitted regression relations were analyzed. Most of the existing correlations were developed based on the studies carried out in Japan and in India, where N values are measured with hammer energy of 78%, which may not be directly applicable for other regions because of the variation in SPT hammer energy which in China is about 55%. A new correlation has been generated using the measured values in silts of China. From this study, it is found that uncorrected values of N and modulus gives the best fit regression relations when compared to corrected N and corrected modulus values. With most equation was used for sand and clay, the regression relations between corrected values of N and modulus gives the equation of silts in China.

Identifying and Prioritizing Urban and Commercial Stormwater Concerns: City of Grants Pass, Oregon
Authors:   ,   Portland State University, Siedlecki Amie
Published: December 2021

For many communities, drinking water comes from surface water sources, or source water, such as rivers and creeks. Within the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, this is the case. The Rogue River, which spans 215 miles, beginning near Crater Lake and emptying into the ocean at Gold Beach, is Grants Pass’ drinking water source. While the capacity of the Rogue River, in relation to drinking water, is rarely an issue for the City of Grants Pass’ Public Works Department, the potential contaminant sources (PCS) from the urban, commercial, and industrial geographical areas of Grants Pass is a concern. In order to deploy treatment processes that are capable of targeting these PCS, it is important to have an idea of where and how these PCS are reaching the storm drains, creeks, and eventually the Rogue River. The purpose of this study was to identify area-specific risk components and how those components spatially aligned with PCS and their locations. Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis and a risk matrix were used to rank the PCS according to risk in relation to Grants Pass’ source water intake. PCS ranked as high priority, or exuding the highest risk to drinking water quality, were followed up with onthe- ground surveys. After surveying the high priority PCS, best management practices (BMP) recommendations were made to the City of Grants Pass to better protect the drinking water quality. Branching off of this initial project work came similar studies in many other Rogue Basin communities. With this continued work, improvements were made to streamline the processes, such as recording survey observations. Overall, this project work has led to many discoveries regarding threats to drinking water quality and how to best respond to certain types of threats.

MODERN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AS A TOOLKIT OF THE TRANSITION FROM TRADITION TO MODERNISM IN CHURCH ARCHITECTURE
Authors: PASTUKHOVA S. V. , MISHUK K. N.
Published: December 2021

Purpose. Consideration and analysis of twentieth-century church architecture in which the modernist style and their modern building technology was applied, using nine churches from different countries as examples. Methodology. The use of critical analysis of scientific and methodological literature of architectural modernism of churches, virtual analysis of architectural and construction projects of modernism and their use in the construction of churches, the method of systemic, structural and activity approach. Findings. The scientific formation of the concept of architectural and church modernism has been performed. The main components of architectural and church modernism and the use of the latest architectural and construction technologies are revealed. Reasonable reasons for the slow use of Architectural Church Modernism in modern times. Examples of twentieth-century architectural church modernism are provided. Originality. An analysis of the use of twentieth-century architectural-church modernism in the world is offered. An analysis of the use of architectural and church modernism in the architectural and structural design of churches has been conducted. Practical value. The rationale for the use of architectural and church modernism in the architectural and structural design of churches has been carried out. The components of church modernism are disclosed. The result is the creation of conditions for the harmonious interaction of customers-churchmen and executors-architects in the use of modernism. There were many arguments about what the temple and temple complex should be – modern or a copy of the canonical model – it all depends on the views of the customer and the architect, their views on religion and its purpose in modern life. The dispute can be long, but creativity is unstoppable, and in the world of temple construction has always kept up with current trends in architecture and construction, using new materials, designs and technology. Understandably, there are concerns that innovations in architecture may be followed by undesirable changes in the whole church tradition, but there is no stopping the new thinking. The new generation must step forward to embrace new trends, architectural modernism of churches, also search for new trends and embody them.

Aim. To develop predictive models of obstructive coronary artery disease (OPCA) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) based on the predictive potential of cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors.

Material and methods. This prospective observational cohort study included 495 patients with NSTE-ACS (median age, 62 years; 95% confidence interval [60; 64]), who underwent invasive coronary angiography (CAG). Two groups of persons were identified, the first of which consisted of 345 (69,6%) patients with OPCA (stenosis ≥50%), and the second — 150 (30,4%) without OPCA (<50%). The clinical and functional status of patients before CAG was assessed including 29 parameters. For data processing and analysis, the Mann-Whitney, Fisher, chi-squared tests and univariate logistic regression (LR) were used. In addition, for the development of predictive models, we used multivariate LR (MLR), support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF). The models was assessed using 4 metrics: area under the ROC-curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.

Results. A comprehensive analysis of functional and metabolic status of patients made it possible to identify the CMR factors that have linear and nonlinear association with OPCA. Their weighting coefficients and threshold values with the highest predictive potential were determined using univariate LR. The quality metrics of the best predictive algorithm based on an ensemble of 10 MLR models were as follows: AUC — 0,82, specificity and accuracy — 0,73, sensitivity — 0,75. The predictors of this model were 7 categorical (total cholesterol (CS) ≥5,9 mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol >3,5 mmol/L, waist-to-hip ratio ≥0,9, waist-to-height ratio ≥0,69, atherogenic index ≥3,4, lipid accumulation product index ≥38,5 cm*mmol/L, uric acid ≥356 pmol/L) and 2 continuous (high density lipoprotein cholesterol and insulin resistance index) variables.

Conclusion. The developed algorithm for selecting predictors made it possible to determine their significant predictive threshold values and weighting coefficients characterizing the degree of influence on endpoints. The ensemble of MLR models demonstrated the highest accuracy of OPCA prediction before the CAG. The predictive accuracy of the SVM and RF models was significantly lower.

Aim. To compare the effectiveness of standard heart failure therapy with and without combined immunosuppressive therapy in patients with documented lymphocytic myocarditis (LM) based on data from actual clinical practice.

Material and methods. This observational study included 70 patients with documented LM, 40% (n=28) of whom received immunosuppressive therapy. All patients underwent standard echocardiographic and laboratory investigations, endomyocardial biopsy with histological, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic analysis. Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 74% of patients. All patients received standard therapy for heart failure at baseline.

Results. The groups did not differ in demographic and echocardiographic characteristics. The appointment of immunosuppressive therapy was accompanied by an increase in ejection fraction by 12,2% compared to 6,4% (p=0,02). There were no significant differences in combined endpoints (survival and the need for heart transplantation) depending on therapy regimen (log-rank p=0,97).

Conclusion. The prognosis of patients with chronic LM depends on the process activity, the severity of impaired hemodynamics and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as on the presence of persistent viral infection. Compliance with patient selection algorithm before prescribing immunosuppressive therapy is associated with the improvement in myocardial global contractility.

Aim. To determine the concentration of blood fibrotic and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) components.

Material and methods. The study included 646 patients aged 35-65 years: patients with AF and MS (n=142), those with AF and without MS (n=113), those with MS and without AF (n=175) and the control group consisted of healthy subjects without cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (n=107). All participants underwent anthropometric and laboratory investigations. Profibrogenic (aldosterone, galectin-3, TGF-beta1, CTGF) and proinflammatory (CT-1, IL-6) factors were determined in serum and plasma by ELISA. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 22.0).

Results. The highest concentrations of fibrotic and inflammatory biomarkers were found in patients with AF in combination with MS. In MS patients without AF, the concentration of aldosterone, galectin-3, TGF-beta1, CTGF, CT-1, and IL-6 was also higher than in healthy subjects. The levels of aldosterone, CT-1 and IL-6 in patients with AF were higher in the presence of three or more MS components, while the highest values of these parameters were found in patients with five MS components. The lowest concentrations of galectin-3, CTGF, and CT-1 in patients with AF were found in patients without MS components, and in the presence of even 1 MS component, they were significantly higher. Correlation analysis made it possible to establish a stronger relationship between aldosterone and TGF-betal with systolic blood pressure (p=0,493, p<O,O001 and p=0,530, p<O,O001), and CT-1, CTGF and IL-6 in a greater degree correlated with waist circumference (p=0,563, p<0,0001; p=0,626, p<0,0001; p=0,480, p<O,O001). The concentrations of galectin-3 and CTGF were more positively correlated with an increase in the number of MS components. In patients with AF and hypertension (HTN), but without abdominal obesity (AO), higher values of aldosterone (108,1±70,3 pg/ml and 89,3±32,2 pg/ml, p=0,003) and TGF-beta1 (3680,1±1863,3 pg/ml and 1968,1±1611,5 pg/ml, p=0,015) in serum than in AF patients without HTN and without AO. In the group of patients with AF and AO, but without HTN, higher concentrations of IL-6 (2,9±0,7 pg/ml and 1,9±0,6 pg/ml, p=0,001) and CTGF (162,9±92,2 pg/ml and 116,3±63,4 pg/ml, p=0,0001).

Conclusion. It can be assumed that hypertension through the aldosterone system and TGF-beta1, as well as abdominal obesity through the cytokine system CT-1 and IL-6 activate various mechanisms and pathways for myocardial remodeling. Integral molecules galectin-3 and CTGF mediate their interactions, in particular in patients with a combination of several MS components and contribute to a higher AF risk.

This work aims to study the effect of different host species on physicochemical and biological properties of the Saharan parasitic plant Cistanche violacea that grows parasitized on two hosts Haloxylon articulatum and a Limonistrum guyonianum in the eastern desert of Algeria. The physicochemical characteristics of C. violcea showed an affinity for the results of both ash and pH and it showed a difference in the amount content of carbohydrates and the value of electrical conductivity. For the content of polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and tannins the highest values were recorded in C. violcea, which was parasitized on H. articulatum. While, the results of HPLC have identified nine compounds in the crude extracts of the parasitic plants and their hosts in different concentrations. In antioxidant activity, the tannin and anthocyanin extracts from C. violcea parasitized on H. articulatum showed better inhibition of DPPH• radical and best the total antioxidant capacity respectively, but the tannins extract of C. violcea parasitized on L. guyonianum given best reducing power capacity. In SPF assay by UV-Vis spectrophotometry method, all extracts of the parasitic plants showed mild to moderate sun protection. Statically the host variation did not show any significant differences in the physicochemical analysis and the quantitative and qualitative total content of polyphenols. While the significant differences appeared through the antioxidant activity tests, especially between C. violcea and its host H. articulatum, between C. violacea and its host H. articulatum and between the two samples of parasitic plants.

Published: December 2021

Resumo Introdução A adesão ao tratamento possui relação crucial com a iniquidade social, sendo uma das principais barreiras. Objetivo Analisar os fatores relacionados à não adesão ao atendimento odontológico de crianças em situação de vulnerabilidade, segundo a percepção de uma equipe de saúde bucal. Método Estudo qualitativo, por meio de entrevistas com a equipe de saúde bucal, realizado em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da região sul do município de Londrina, Paraná, de julho a setembro de 2016, por identificação e caracterização do atendimento odontológico a crianças de 6 a 9 anos, residentes no território de abrangência. Resultados Os resultados foram descritivos e analisados segundo a adesão ao tratamento, e as entrevistas foram interpretadas por meio da análise de conteúdo temática. Das 55 crianças identificadas, 30 eram faltosas, 19 eram assíduas e 6 nunca foram atendidas. Constatou-se que a concepção dos profissionais sobre a vulnerabilidade está relacionada às baixas condições socioeconômicas. Os principais fatores à não adesão foram: desvalorização da importância do cuidado, priorização de outras tarefas, questões culturais, sofrimento anterior, falta de profissionais, ausência de busca ativa e de classificação de risco e falta de integração entre os profissionais. Conclusão O usuário é culpabilizado pela sua situação, e o profissional desconsidera a situação de vulnerabilidade, desresponsabilizando-se pelo cuidado integral.

Abstract This dossier, which emerged as the result of a session organized by Miller and Baines in the AAA/CASCA joint Conference in Vancouver, Canada, in 2019, brings together a collection of articles on Indigenous peoples, tribunals, prisons and legal and public processes, uniting scholars from Canada and Brazil. The dossier was widened to include more Brazilian anthropologists who work on these themes with indigenous peoples in politically engaged research, to introduce international comparative approaches to studies with indigenous peoples, as well as stimulating a broader exchange between social anthropologists in both Brazil and Canada, and examine the specific research issues in this area of studies in which they are involved in different national contexts. The intention is also to present in the English language some current research in these areas which is being carried out in Brazil to a wider international audience.
Protecting Aboriginal Rights and Title in Canada: A Growing Space for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Authors: Nagai Fumiya
Published: December 2021

Abstract In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia. In this decision, the Supreme Court recognised Aboriginal title to a specific territory for the first time, along with Aboriginal rights to hunt, trap, and engage in other practices. While international human rights law relating to Indigenous peoples, notably the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, was not directly relied upon in this decision, the subsequent negotiations and outcome documents have gradually included the UN Declaration into the discussion, in conjunction with the political and legal shift towards recognition and acceptance of it in Canada. By exploring the political and legal struggles of the Tsilhqot'in, particularly after the 2014 decision, this paper considers a growing space for the UN Declaration in defining the declared Aboriginal rights and title.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to identify structures for the practice of physical activities (PA) in Brazilian Schools and relate them to the Human Development Index (HDI), Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) and quality indicators from the Report Card Brazil (RCB). This is a descriptive study that used secondary data from INEP-Brazil to identify and classify structures for the practice of PA in Brazilian schools based on the presence of “schoolyards”, “sports courts” and “sporting materials”, organized by elementary and high schools. Data were organized by Macroeconomic Region and related to HDI, IDEB and Report Card Brazil Quality Classification Criteria. Thus, for “Elementary School”, positive and significant relationship was observed between HDI and the presence of “schoolyards” (r=0.53; p=0.004), “sports courts” (r=0.855; p<0, 01) and “sporting materials”(r=0.764; p<0.01), while for IDEB, values followed the same logic, associated to the presence of “schoolyards” (r=0.475; p=0.01), “sports courts” (r=0.676; p<0.01) and “sporting materials” (r=0.535; p<0.01). For “High School”, relationship was observed between HDI and the presence of “sports courts” (r=0.517; p<0.01) and “sporting materials” (r=0.499; p<0.01), while for IDEB, relationship was only observed with the presence of “sporting materials” (r=0.508; p<0.01). It could be concluded that the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil have schools with lower presence of structure for the practice of Physical Activity and that there is positive relationship of this structure with HDI, IDEB and quality indicators of the Report Card Brazil.
Paulo Freire e as subjetividades geradoras: um modo de vida filosófico para a educação contemporânea
Authors: Carvalho Alexandre Filordi de , Kohan Walter Omar , Gallo Silvio
Published: December 2021

Resumo Inspirado no pensamento e na vida de Paulo Freire, este texto afirma, como sentido de uma educação filosófica, as “subjetividades geradoras”, quais sejam, uma forma de trânsito para outras condições existenciais, devires possíveis de vida e de mundos outros. Essa educação filosófica abrange três campos problematizadores: (i) a relação de si mesmo com a alteridade; (ii) a ascese filosófica como forma política da vida social; e (iii) a produção de verdades para além daquelas prefiguradas pelas forças opressivas, antidemocráticas e desumanizadoras. Operamos, assim, um duplo movimento: existencializar a filosofia e filosofar a vida educativa. Dessa forma, indiretamente, também atendemos uma “velha” questão entre nós: é Paulo Freire um filósofo da educação?
Autonomia reprodutiva da população trans: Discursos de Direitos Humanos, cisnormatividade e biopolítica
Authors: Nascimento Rosane Bezerra do , Carvalho José Lucas Santos , Silva Danillo da Conceição Pereira
Published: December 2021

Resumo O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir acerca da autonomia reprodutiva da população trans segundo perspectivas críticas de direitos humanos, epistemologias transfeministas e teorias biopolíticas. Para isso, analisam-se os efeitos políticos de discursos presentes no Plano Nacional de Promoção da Cidadania e Direitos Humanos de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais e Transexuais de 2009 (PNCDH/LGBT) e em normas jurídicas atinentes à questão. Em linhas gerais, argumenta-se que, apesar da importância dos direitos humanos para a efetivação da cidadania integral de pessoas LGBT, persistem sentidos de invisibilidade e silenciamento que colaboram para a esterilização física e simbólica da população trans.
Escrevendo além das distinções
Authors: Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos Andreas
Published: December 2021

Resumo A pesquisa jurídica vem se movendo cada vez mais além das distinções tradicionais entre pensamento sócio-jurídico e pensamento jurídico crítico; texto seco da lei e análise do contexto jurídico; direito “prático” e justiça “teórica”; modos de escrita “objetivo” e “subjetivo” e assim por diante. Grande parte da nova pesquisa jurídica se move em direção a um entendimento localizado, corporificado e material do direito, que trata tanto da própria lei quanto de seu contexto teórico e social. Neste capítulo, argumento que esse movimento também deve se refletir não apenas no que escrevemos, mas também no modo como escrevemos. Ofereço algumas observações sobre por que essas distinções já se tornaram obsoletas na prática jurídica da escrita, apesar de ainda serem inconscientemente praticadas pela maioria de nós. Sugiro, então, algumas maneiras pelas quais a escrita jurídica pode avançar ainda mais nessa direção teoricamente rica, ainda que inserida e contextualizada. Algumas das etapas mais importantes são: repensar o ensaio como verdadeiramente um ensaio (ou seja, tentativa, experimento); correr riscos, não buscando a consistência acima de tudo, mas permitindo que o texto se desdobre como um corpo em si mesmo e como um agente jurídico; reservar uma posição de destaque para o “eu” em sua presença afetiva e múltipla; e abraçar o desejo coletivo de um direito mais justo. Concluo resumindo as distinções mais importantes que precisamos superar e revisitando talvez a distinção derradeira entre direito e justiça.

Resumo O artigo interpreta o filme Batismo de Sangue (2007), por meio da forma cinematográfica do flashback, em torno da tortura e morte de Frei Tito. Nossas hipóteses são: este filme tenta lidar com a amnésia jurídica imposta pela Lei de Anistia dos crimes da Ditadura Civil-Militar brasileira (1964-1985); a partir de uma ética testemunhal (Agamben e Gagnebin), entendemos o filme como sendo um flashback não de trauma, mas de um testemunho.

Resumo Neste artigo, relatamos a experiência do projeto de extensão Ciclo de Estudos e Cine-debates entre o DiHCA (UNIFAL) e o NADIR (USP), com destaque para o terceiro de quatro encontros cujo tema foi a violência de gênero. Tanto no projeto quanto neste texto, convergem os objetivos de apresentar o cinema como recurso pedagógico na difusão dos direitos humanos e de fomentar o uso do documentário brasileiro Silêncio das Inocentes para discussões sobre violência contra mulheres. O projeto mostrou-se potente tanto pela sensibilização teórico-política promovida pelos encontros quanto pelo envolvimento das(os) estudantes, tornando-se um fator protetivo em tempos de pandemia, o que esperamos que se amplie para outros públicos que leiam este texto.
“Onde as forças vivas do trabalho se ajuntam em desmedida”: dinâmicas da reprodução do capital em São Paulo durante a epidemia de febre amarela
Authors: Borin Monique Felix
Published: December 2021

RESUMO O presente artigo aborda as dinâmicas de reprodução de capital nos investimentos no mercado de aluguéis de moradias coletivas na Santa Ifigênia, bairro central de São Paulo, durante a epidemia de febre amarela que atingiu algumas regiões do Brasil nas décadas finais do século XIX. Nos centramos principalmente na atuação de Carlo Gilardi, investidor urbano do mercado de aluguéis, imigrante proveniente da região de Piemonte, Itália, para explorar as relações entre a colonialidade, as epidemias e as estratégias de controle urbano da população urbana despossuída. Os discursos sobre as aglomerações urbanas são analisados a partir do cruzamento de fontes primárias, especialmente o relatório de inspeção dos cortiços elaborado por uma comissão designada pelo poder público em 1893, pedidos da Série Obras Particulares e registros de transações fundiárias.
Crestbond shear connector for load transfer on concrete filled composite columns in fire
Authors: Prado Luiz Fernando Pereira do , Miranda Larice Gomes Justino , Caldas Rodrigo Barreto
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a numerical study of the Crestbond shear connector, characterized by a steel plate with regular cuttings, when used as a load transfer element in concrete filled composite columns in fire. The developed numerical model was calibrated with experimental results of composite columns in fire and later the load transfer devices were inserted. Numerical analyzes were performed with the software Abaqus and comprised the variation of the composite column diameter and of the loading levels, as well as the comparison with the results obtained when is used a through steel plate without cuttings (Shear Flat) as a load transfer device. With the analyzes performed, it was observed that the Crestbond shear connector and the Shear Flat present very similar thermomechanical performance in relation to the load transfer capacity. Thus, the Crestbond shear connector has the potential to be applied alternatively to the Shear Flat as a load transfer device in concrete filled composite columns, with the advantage of the possibility of associate use of longitudinal and manly transverse reinforcement.

Abstract Cattle are an important source of zoonotic species of Cryptosporidium for humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Cryptosporidium, identify the species and determine the risk factors relating to environment, animals and management among dairy calves in eight Brazilian states. A total of 408 fecal samples from calves aged 1-60 days were analyzed. An epidemiological questionnaire was completed. Sample screening was performed using Ziehl-Neelsen technique and the positive samples were subjected to nested PCR. Cryptosporidium species were identified by means of the PCR-RFLP technique, using SSPI, ASEI and MBOII enzymes. The Ziehl-Neelsen technique showed that 89.7% (35/39) of the farms and 52.9% (216/408) of the samples were positive. Through nested PCR, these protozoa were detected in 54.6% of the samples. The 56 samples subjected to PCR-RFLP presented Cryptosporidium parvum. There was higher prevalence of the parasite in animals aged 7 to 28 days (62.6%). Diarrhea, ages between seven and 28 days and a spring water source were factors associated with the risk of infection. The calf hutch-type management system was associated with reduced infection. These findings demonstrate the high level of Cryptosporidium spp. circulation in cattle herds and the predominance of the species C. parvum.
Prototype semantics: syntaphor in polysemy and beyond
Authors: Bierwiaczonek Bogusław
Published: December 2021

The paper shows how a recently introduced concept of syntaphor, which blends synecdoche with metaphor, may be used to represent semantic extensions of polysemous lexemes like paint or pin. The network semantic representations using syntaphor are both more descriptively adequate and precise. They also account for the fact that the word meanings differ in their use from vague general senses to rather specific, and yet entrenched senses. Finally, it is demonstrated that syntaphor is one of the crucial cognitive processes resulting in lexical differences between languages.
Metaphorisation of terminology in research papers. Corpus analysis of selected terms in microelectronics, telecommunication and computer science (MTCS)
Authors: Makowska Aleksandra
Published: December 2021

Figurative expressions play an important role in scientific prose since they allow for the mental visualisations of the existing notions to enhance the comprehension of new ideas in the mind of the message addressee. Initially, however, terminology was subject to normalisation to facilitate precise exchange of the scientific thought, which later was considered ‘an extremely idealised vision of specialised communication (Faber Benitez 2009: 112)’. As a result, metaphors started to be acknowledged in specialised communication. This study attempts to determine the metaphoric patterns of selected scientific terms used in the fields of microelectronics, telecommunication and computer science by exploring a comparable specialised corpus of 320 research articles in Polish and English (about 923,000 words) of which 103 articles are in Polish and 217 articles are in English. The analysis is to determine whether term variants are equally metaphorical in English and Polish as well as to show whether the pragmatic meanings of metaphorical terms equal the standardised or dictionary definitions.

Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to compare and correlate HRV indices, body composition, and aerobic power (VO2max) in recreational cyclists and trained endurance (road) cyclists. 47 male cyclists participated in the study (age: 20.32 ± 0.365; height: 171.50 ± 1.117; BMI: 23.00 ± 0.47) divided into 3 groups (Group 1: Recreational cyclist; group 2: Delhi Cyclist, playing at State/National level; and group 3: IGI cyclist, playing at National/International level). Methods: The participants underwent body composition analysis (BMI, Subcutaneous whole body, body density, body fat %, lean body mass) and anthropometry profiling. HRV was recorded (RMSSD, pNN50%, SDNN, LH/HF ratio) at resting state (~5 minutes) using the Heartware Shimmer ECG device. Later 3 minutes McArdle step test was done to measure VO2 max. Result: The VO2max (F2, 44=22.821, P<0.001) and Body fat % (7-Fold) (F2, 44=6.772, P=0.003) differed significantly between the 3 groups of cyclists. A highly significant negative correlation was seen between cycling experience in years with Resting HR and LF/HF ratio (p<0.01) with their r- values at -.382 and -.448 respectively, and statistically significant negative correlation was indicated with Body fat% (7-fold), r=-.322 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Significant differences were seen in the aerobic capacity (VO2max) between all the 3 groups of cyclists. Improved VO2max in trained road cyclists can be particularly due to the nature of cycling (endurance) training, overall training volume, and reduction in the body fat % and fat mass, which further enhances the adaptations to autonomic control. KEY WORDS: adaptation, autonomic nervous system, body composition, cardiorespiratory, cyclist, endurance, HRV, recreational, road cycling, VO2max.

Background: The global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a harsh effect throughout the world. A wide range of neuromuscular symptoms including myalgia, anosmia, loss of taste and muscle weakness have been seen post COVID-19 infection. Some of these symptoms may impair balance and activities of daily living. Balance is defined as ability of an individual to maintain the line of gravity within the base of support. Objective: This case report study shows how physiotherapy management was helpful for a 63-year-old male during COVID and post-COVID rehabilitation to enhance his functional recovery. It also describes balance training strategies which were used in addition to regular pulmonary physiotherapy in a patient affected with COVID-19. Case Study: This study reports a four-month long physiotherapy protocol of a 63-year-old male patient admitted to a hospital due to COVID-19 in whom imbalance was also observed. Physiotherapy management was started for the same. The protocol included in-patient as well as out-patient exercises. Pulmonary physiotherapy along with neuro physiotherapy, in the form of balance training, were included. The patient showed good improvement in balance and regained his functional independence and hence discharged from physiotherapy treatment. Conclusion: Thus, Covid and post- COVID-19 physiotherapy rehabilitation is essential to elicit positive adaptive changes to improve the functional capacity, independence in the daily activities and QOL.

TURKISH ECONOMY IN THE 2000S: PRODUCTIVITY CHANGES IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Authors: ÖZŞAHİN Gülşah , ÖZBAY DAŞ Zühal
Published: December 2021

This study aims to discuss the manufacturing and service sectors’ productivity performances of Turkey during the 2000s. In order to get some ideas how structural changes are directed during the 2000s in Turkish manufacturing, shift-share analysis is applied in this study. The results reflect that between 2003 and 2007, in all manufacturing categories, labor productivity has decreased while during the period between 2010 and 2015, labor productivity has increased in all manufacturing categories. Labor productivity further increased for all groups, but at a slower pace for medium-low-technology categories and stagnant for high-technology industries during the period between 2016 and 2018. Labor productivity in the service sector shows a somewhat different pattern than that seen in manufacturing in terms of periods. Particularly in high-tech service groups, the static shift toward relatively lower labor productivity sectors has been observed for almost all periods. In less-knowledge-intensive services, labor productivity decreased in the first period, but increased most notably during the 2010–2015 period. The results supposedly imply that there is some room for discussion of the role of industrial policies, particularly in the post-2010 period. Moreover, after 2016, the change in the political and economic environment offers some clues in understanding the productivity changes in the manufacturing sector.
