Use of the UNIFAC model in the calculation of physicochemical properties of ecotoxicants for technological and ecoanalytical purposes
Authors: Povarov Vladimir , Efimov Ignatyi
Published: April 2023

Modern development vector of environmental monitoring leads to elaboration of analytical methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis of different ecotoxicants. Many studies face the lack of information on isomers and homologues of already studied compounds. This problem cannot always be solved experimentally due to the difficulty of separating or synthesizing certain compounds; the use of group theories of solutions will help partly; using them, solubility in water or partition coefficient between two immiscible solvents is calculated for ecotoxicants. These parameters are important for solving the analytical and ecological problems. The partition coefficient in the octanol – water system is associated with a possibility of accumulation of different compounds in living organisms; the partition coefficient in the hexane – acetonitrile system can be used in gas chromatographic analysis. Solubility in water is closely associated with accumulation of ecotoxicants in water bodies, as well as with their ability to be transferred. This paper presents the capabilities of the UNIFAC model for solving physicochemical problems using the example of calculating the properties of real ecotoxicants on the basis of the available thermodynamic data. All the obtained calculated values were compared with those determined experimentally. In the case of pyrene derivatives, solubility data were obtained for the first time using a correlation group model to calculate the heat of fusion and melting temperature.
Wissenschaftsbezogener Rechtspopulismus/-extremismus an Hochschulen – Perspektiven von Betroffenen
Authors: Haker Christoph , Otterspeer Lukas
Published: April 2023

Mit dem Begriff wissenschaftsbezogener Rechtspopulismus/-extremismus fokussiert der Beitrag solche (extrem) rechten Organisationen, Praktiken und Diskursstrategien, die sich auf das Feld der Wissenschaft beziehen. Dabei rückt in einer qualitativen Interview-Studie die Betroffenenperspektive in den Mittelpunkt, die ein blinder Fleck der Forschung ist: Wie nehmen Betroffene wissenschaftsbezogenen Rechtspopulismus/-extremismus wahr und welche Umgangsweisen finden sie? Präsentiert werden Ergebnisse zur widersprüchlichen Erscheinungsform von wissenschaftsbezogenem Rechtspopulismus/-extremismus. Neben erwartbaren Phänomenen (zum Beispiel (kultur-)rassistischen, misogynen, antidemokratischen und verschwörungstheoretischen Positionierungen) zeigt sich dieser insofern widersprüchlich, als dass er zwischen Inanspruchnahme von Wissenschaftlichkeit sowie Wissenschaftsfreiheit auf der einen Seite und Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit auf der anderen Seite oszilliert. Er trifft mit Hochschulen auf Institutionen, deren Strukturen einen kritischen Umgang erschweren, und er wirkt weit über die jeweils konkreten Situationen seines Erscheinens hinaus. Unsere Analysen untermauern die Notwendigkeit, die Bedeutung von wissenschaftsbezogenem Rechtspopulismus/-extremismus in seiner Widersprüchlichkeit über die jeweiligen Situationen hinaus zu erkennen und wissenschaftsspezifische Antworten zu finden, die dieser Widersprüchlichkeit Rechnung tragen – und sind damit eine Aufforderung an Hochschulen und alle dort tätigen Personen.
Diversity of the Ulidiidae Family (Insecta: Diptera)
Authors: Marchiori Carlos Henrique
Published: April 2023

Ulidiidae makes their nests on the ground, making their eggs and young often very vulnerable to predation. They walk steadily on strong legs and big toes, pecking for food as they go. Many have interesting mating displays, such as inflating throat sacs or raising elaborate feather crests. The female lays three to five dark, speckled eggs in a scratch in the ground and incubates them on her own. In addition to the damage caused by the larvae themselves, their activity facilitates the entry of pathogens into plants, which may cause losses of up to 100% of production. They also carry enteric bacteria, being responsible for the transmission of infections. This mini-review aims to describe the Ulidiidae Family. The methodological basis of the present work consists of bibliographical research of scientific articles published in national and international academic scientific journals classified by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel. The search criterion for articles was to prioritize articles that dealt with the topic. Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information on theoretical books, theses banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and websites: https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_increase_the_research_results_visibility.

Cryptic evidence on underreporting of mRNA vaccine-induced cardiomyositis in the elderly: a need to modify antihypertensive therapy
Authors: Forsdyke Donald
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND. Cardiomyositis has been considered a rare complication of COVID-19 vaccination that primarily affects young people. However, recent studies indicate under-reporting of cases in the elderly. Furthermore, post-mortem studies of five cases (median age 58) that died suddenly within 7 days of vaccination, indicate an autoimmune element. Albeit an individual case history, the author’s unexpected personal evidence supports the latter studies.

METHODS. Readings of blood pressure (BP) and pulse were taken twice daily.

FINDINGS. Seven days after the fifth of a series of anti-COVID-19 vaccinations, a “stress test” (15 min jog) in an elderly subject exposed a cardiac problem – arrhythmia and a rapid fall of BP with slow recovery. The timing suggested myocarditis as a post-vaccination _early_ side-effect that usually targets those more likely to exercise (i.e., the young). Thus, it is usually cryptic in the elderly. In addition, retrospective studies of his own BP readings during the vaccination period (2021-2023) revealed the sudden emergence of transient, but prolonged, falls of BP _several weeks_ after each of his last four vaccinations. These hypotensive episodes were cryptic (asymptomatic) and likely not detected in shorter post-vaccination analyses.

INTERPRETATION. Short-term post-vaccination side effects are distinct from those occurring after some weeks. The first category includes systemic or localized inflammatory responses that, in the case of the heart, might either trigger arrythmia and acute functional impairment, or remain cryptic. Localized responses could initiate tissue damage, culminating weeks later in the second category – asymptomatic but measurable functional impairment. Continuing regular dosages of antihypertensive medication during this period would likely intensify the hypotension. That this did not occur in the author’s case is attributed to his two-decade-long practice of modulating dosage daily, based on BP readings. Failure to follow this protocol might explain some sudden home deaths. A parallel is drawn with his previous study that showed the need to modify antihypertensive therapy in response to external temperature changes.
Essays on modern Tuvan culture

Published: April 2023

“Essays on Modern Tuvan Culture” by Ch.K. Lamazhaa, Doctor of Philosophy, Head of the Laboratory of Ethnology and Linguoculturology of Tuva State University ( Kyzyl city), Editor-in-Chief of the journal “New Studies of Tuva” (Moscow) provides the analysis of modern Tuvan culture as a kind of symbiosis, representing mutual influence and coexistence of “relics of centuries-old history, transformational consequences of the twentieth century with the Soviet heritage, as well as the ethnic explanations of the late twentieth century revivalist pathos and trends of globalisation and westernisation (Lamazhaa, 2021: 4-5).The book contains an introduction, 9 essays, conclusion, bibliography and summary in English. The most important material on the socio-cultural life of the modern Tuva is presented in the essays, which together solve two main tasks: 1) the author’s understanding of modern social and cultural processes of Tuvan society in a historical context; 2) the author’s reflections on the trends in the development of Tuvan studies.Ch.K. Lamazhaa’s perspective on these two issues is worth considering, because of her personal involvement with at least two cultural models of the world (Tuvan and Russian). The inside and outside perspectives on the object and subject of the research undoubtedly led to the widening of the research horizon. The author analyzes the issues of interest with a more stereoscopic view than a foreign researcher (outsider) living outside Tuva or a Tuvan researcher living in his own republic (insider) would. This heuristic position enabled the author to create a picture of modern Tuvan culture that is relevant to today’s reality.

The study of the ritual activities of the past, the analysis and historical information extraction from the accumulated material are one of the areas of scientific research in archaeological science. The article presents the results of the study of the Late Medieval sanctuary by the archaeological team of the branch of the Institute of Archeology named after A. Kh. Margulan in 2021. The sanctuary is located on the territory of the Burabay district of the Akmola region, in a forest, on the bank of the dried-up spring. Its location in this natural complex allows to attribute it to sacred objects associated with the veneration and worship of nature. In the process of examining the religious building as an archaeological object, curious artifacts were discovered – a small clay product of a conical shape and an iron tripod. In this paper, the authors presented the process of coding and fixing specific ethnic features as a foreign cultural phenomenon surrounded by the autochthonous population and under the influence of Buddhism. The article presents the results of the study of sacred places, customs and traditions associated with the veneration of spirits as guardians of nature and locality, shows the structural relationship between the elements of the object, revealed during the study of specific rituals and worldview concepts of the inhabitants who left the studied sacred corner. The search for analogies is performed, the information about the degree of study of these archaeological sites is given, and a graphic reconstruction of the sanctuary was carried out. The monument belongs to the late Middle Ages and is a part of the cultural heritage of the country and people.

Measuring climate-credit risk relationship using world input-output tables
Authors: Penikas Henry I. , Vasilyeva Ekaterina E.
Published: April 2023

The Basel Committee recommended the use of input-output tables to properly measure climate risks. However, the majority of previous studies only limits the use of input-output tables to carbon emissions and this is not applied in climate risk ratings. The existing climate (E) risk ratings (scores) was modified or transformed from Sustainalytics to the full climate risk scores using input-output tables. Positive relationship between credit risks and the full climate risk estimates at the industry level was identified, and this justifies the interest rate discount granted to firms in the green industries. Thus, for the purpose of lending the full degree of greenness derived from input-output tables should be considered, not substituting this by the easily observable and publicly available marginal climate risk ratings like those provided by Sustainalytics.
Innovation and competition under weak institutions: An empirical analysis of Russian firms
Authors: Zokirov Yigitali , Yamada Daichi , Hiwatari Masato
Published: April 2023

﻿This study examines the relationship between competition and innovation of Russian firms. We mainly explore (i) the role of competition in stimulating or suppressing product and process innovation and (ii) if the relationship is affected by institutional conditions, such as court fairness, corruption, and informal competition. The results show that innovation, particularly process innovation, has an inverted U-shaped relationship with competition but that product innovation is negatively associated with competition. Further, the negative relationship with product innovation is observed only among firms confronting problems in institutional conditions. The results imply that, whereas the promotion of competition can both encourage and discourage innovation, depending on the initial competition level, an improvement in institutional conditions can mitigate the negative effect of competition on innovation.

A tríade felina é pouco diagnosticada pela dificuldade em correlacionar os sinais clínicos na rotina veterinária. Nos gatos, sua anatomia consequentemente sofre anastomose na parede duodenal, facilitando a entrada de bactérias nos demais órgãos. As principais patologias que envolvem esse quadro são: pancreatite, colangite e doença inflamatória intestinal. Um felino macho de 11 anos foi atendido no Hospital Veterinário Intensiva, em Curitiba-PR, por apresentar icterícia, desidratação, histórico de êmese sempre após a alimentação e episódios de diarreia. O animal foi internado para tratamento inicial e reposição hídrica. Nos exames de hemograma e bioquímico, os valores para plaquetas, ALT, FA e lipase pancreática específica felina demonstraram-se acima da referência, assim como o exame de imagem demonstrou fígado com parênquima heterogêneo e sinais de inflamação na alça intestinal. Com as medicações, o animal permaneceu estável, com leves declínios nos exames laboratoriais. O diagnóstico histopatológico é o exame de eleição para caracterizar tal patologia, entretanto, não foi realizado, apenas o diagnóstico presuntivo de tríade felina pela descrição dos sinais clínicos. Em conclusão, o animal permaneceu estável e em acompanhamento veterinário semanal.

Supporting College Student Success through Applied Learning: Considering Associations with Average College Grades, Graduation in Four Years, and Degree Aspirations
Authors: Jach Elizabeth , Trolian Teniell
Published: April 2023

While previous research has examined the association between various forms of applied learning and effects on student outcomes, the present study examines engagement in forms of applied learning and three distinct measures of student success. Using longitudinal data from the Wabash National Study, this analysis examined the relationship between undergraduate participation in forms of applied learning and students’ graduation within four years, fourth-year college grades, and post-baccalaureate degree aspirations. Results suggested that certain applied learning experiences were associated with specific forms of student success. Specifically, the odds of graduation within four years increased for students who participated in internship, capstone, or study abroad experiences but decreased for students who participated in an independent study or volunteer experience. Applied learning experiences associated with higher college grades included faculty asking students to apply theories or concepts to practical problems or in new situations, completing an independent study, capstone, internship, research with a faculty member, or study abroad experience, but applying concepts to exams or assignments was associated with lower college grades. Finally, higher levels of students’ educational aspirations were associated with participating in research with a faculty member and study abroad. Together, these findings emphasize the need for institutions of higher education, faculty, and student affairs practitioners to nuance applied learning opportunities in relation to student success goals.
Психологічні типи правоохоронців – дрібних корупціонерів
Authors: Ларіонова Інна , Колесніченко Олександр
Published: April 2023

Стаття містить результати оригінального емпіричного дослідження схильних до дрібної корупції правоохоронців, в якому реалізований типологічний підхід до особистості. Дослідження проведено на матеріалі результатів психодіагностики 87 військовослужбовців Національної гвардії України, під час професійно-психологічного відбору на вищі посади та посади, що передбачають облік товарно-матеріальних цінностей, і які проходили обстеження за допомогою поліграфа. Використано результати професійно-психологічного відбору досліджуваних, які у подальшому піддавались процедурі кластерного аналізу.
Визначено, що представники першого типу дрібних військових корупціонерів схильні до демонстрації своєї переваги над іншими, своїх виняткових знань та вмінь, своєї надмірної вимогливості до себе та до оточуючих. Їх нетерпимість до всього, що відрізняється від їх уявлень про правильне, вузькопрофесійне сприйняття взаємин і дійсності, суворість та негативний фон настрою змушують тих, хто не відповідає цим вимогам, вдаватися до їх задобрювання. Представники першого типу приймають «подарунки», плутаючи їх з проявами поваги, визнання їх «унікальності» як фахівців у певних сферах. Вони вдаються до торгівлі своєю прихильністю, комерціоналізуючи свої послуги як фахівця у певній сфері, використовуючи інструменти недобросовісної конкуренції.
Схарактеризовано другий тип дрібних військових корупціонерів. Це представники нового, молодого покоління військовослужбовців, які є достатньо ерудованими, професійно вмотивованими, впевненими в собі і своїй професійній підготовці. Проте через свою толерантність та адаптивність вони сприймають явище корупції у військових колективах як об’єктивно задане, таке, що необхідно прийняти як даність. Вони проявляють терпимість до корупційної діяльності, з часом починають сприймати корупційні дії як один із можливих шляхів досягнення цілей. Вони дозволяють зробити себе частиною корупційних відносин.
Представники третього типу дрібних військових корупціонерів не вирізняються особливими здібностями та щирою любов’ю до професії військовослужбовця НГУ. Проте, приналежність до соціальної групи правоохоронців – людей, які наділені формальною владою, дозволяє їм почуватися поважними, значимими особами. Їх низька професійна ідентичність, в основі якої є нерозвиненість прагнення працювати над собою, дозволяє іншим маніпулювати ними, втягувати їх у протиправні дії, робити знаряддям протиправних дій. Ймовірно, вони вважають для себе зручним отримувати протиправні вигоди, втішаючись, що не несуть відповідальності за дії, які не ініційовані ними (виконуючи розпорядження свого керівництва).
Physical and Psychological Health Problems Associated with Migration
Authors: Rawnuck Tanzila , Reza Md Selim , Sharmi Rumana Hasan
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Migration is a process of social change where an individual, alone or accompanied by others, because they may have different purposes especially for study, leaves one geographical area for a prolonged stay. Prolonged detention is seen to have impacted adversely on physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical and psychological problems associated with the migration of foreign students compared to local ones.
Materials and Methods: TA case-control study was conducted from March 2017 to August 2022 on the students of five different countries. A total of 280 students were enrolled in this study from Dhaka Dental College in Dhaka city. They were divided into case and control groups. To determine the physical and mental health of them, different parameters were used.
Results: Total female-migrants were 3.24 times higher than male-migrants. Kashmir-migrants (47.14%) were higher whereas Bhutan-migrants (0.71%) were lowest in number. Psychological factors like depression, Insomnia, loneliness, and stress were more common in all migrants, particularly in the female. Physical health issues like diarrhea, food poisoning were common in males, however, urinary tract infection and skin problems were of insignificant magnitude in female-migrants.
Conclusion: Migrant students’ physical and mental health is heavily affected by the adopted country’s environment, culture, tradition, language, food habits, and so on. The intensity of the psychological problem has been found to be higher among some migrant groups. Similarly, physical problems such as allergic reactions, respiratory diseases were the most common problems experienced by them.

Skill Mismatch as Constraint to Entrepreneurship in the Leather Sector of Bangladesh: A Conceptual Study
Authors: Kabir Nazia , Kamal Shashish Shami
Published: April 2023

Promoting entrepreneurship is a key approach to reducing youth unemployment and enhancing economic development. This paper aims to explore skill mismatch as a constraint to entrepreneurship in the leather sector of Bangladesh. The paper is a conceptual study and follows the worldview of critical realism. This study used one-to-one interviews and a survey based on a non-probability sampling procedure to supplement the conceptual analysis. The empirical findings were considered complementary evidence to the conceptual discussion. The study was designed to explore the issues related to skill mismatch through a conceptual analysis instead of aiming to make generalizable statistical inferences. The paper had two major findings. Firstly, the ability to develop ‘political connections’ is considered an important skill that entrepreneurs look for in their business partners and managers, especially at the early stage of business capital formation. Other forms of skills mismatch impose a high amount of cost on the entrepreneurs and function as an entry barrier to entrepreneurship. Secondly, entrepreneurs are not well incentivized to invest in training and up-skilling their workers due to the high risk associated with such investments.

Disentangling the key drivers of salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis fecundity using multiyear field samples
Authors: Thompson C , Bui S , Dalvin S , Skern-Mauritzen R
Published: April 2023

Planktonic salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis larvae produced at salmon farms spread to and infect both wild and farmed salmonids. Understanding and forecasting the production and distribution of these larval stages from farms is critical to aquaculture management. However, model forecasts are based on available data and therefore include parameters with limited empirical support. This investigation examined salmon louse fecundity with a focus on batch egg clutch size by collecting lice from farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar at multiple farms and from wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout S. trutta captured at field sites throughout Norway. The data were analyzed with mixed effects models and total length of female lice was identified as the primary determinant of clutch size. Further analysis revealed that female louse total length is partially explained by temperature at sampling. However, if the temperature at sampling is spatially or temporally disconnected from rearing temperature, it may not be possible to predict the total length of a louse using temperature. The fecundity investigation further found that 66% of female lice on farmed salmon were sexually mature, and 10% of these were not egg-bearing. In comparison, 73% of adult female lice on sea trout were sexually mature, and 40% of these were not egg-bearing. Our results indicate that salmon louse production forecasts would be improved by incorporating female louse sexual maturity and a clutch size parameter that is related to total length of female lice.
Compositional responses of aquatic bacterial communities and their network interactions to phytoplankton-derived dissolved organic matter from freshwater ponds

Published: April 2023

Bacteria play a central role in the degradation of phytoplankton-derived dissolved organic matter (P-DOM) particularly in algal-blooming aquatic systems; yet our understanding of the interaction between bacteria and P-DOM is still poor. We supplied differential P-DOM that varied in concentration and molecular weight (released from distinct phytoplankton collected from blue-green algal-blooming grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus farming ponds) to similar aquatic bacterial communities (isolated from non-blooming grass carp ponds), to explore how P-DOM affects bacterial community dynamics and to identify the most responsive degrading taxa using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and high-throughput sequencing. Bacterial cultures all had similar degradation effects upon P-DOM, causing decreases in its concentration but increases in its molecular weight and aromaticity. In contrast, bacterial compositional changes varied primarily depending on P-DOM molecular weight, and Bacteroidia taxa were mostly affected, appearing more adapted to metabolize high-molecular-weight P-DOM. Nevertheless, most of the degrading taxa were recurrent and typically members within Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli, indicating substrate-controlled bacterial responses induced by P-DOM. Network analysis revealed that bacterial communities harbored relatively low-abundant degrading members rather than dominant ones as keystone taxa, which presented simultaneously crucial microbial connections within communities and strong associations with environments and therefore played an over proportional role in maintaining community stability and functioning. Moreover, the keystone taxa may be generalists, and their ecological attributes can be described by oligotrophs that correspond to the K-strategists. Generally, this study implied a pivotal role of Gammaproteobacteria, particularly Pseudomonas, in P-DOM biodegradation, most probably in algal-blooming aquatic environments.

Published: April 2023

To better understand the characteristics of long-term change and variability in regional extreme precipitation and to examine possible regional responses to global climate warming, we analyzed temporal and spatial patterns of precipitation and extreme precipitation index changes in the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) over the last 120 yr. Based on the China Meteorological Administration’s daily precipitation data set of 60 city stations in mainland China from 1901-2020, we found that total annual precipitation and daily precipitation intensity of the Upper Reaches (UR) experienced a downward trend, but those of the Middle and Lower Reaches (MLR) showed an upward trend. Precipitation amount and intensity increased, while the number of precipitation days slightly decreased over the YRB during 1901-2020. Most extreme precipitation indices showed a decreasing trend in the first 60 yr that reversed after 1961 into slightly upward trends, except for consecutive dry days and wet days in the YRB during 1901-2020. There were significant downward trends for consecutive dry days and maximum 1 and 5 d precipitation during the first 60 yr, and significant upward trends for maximum 1 d precipitation, total extreme heavy precipitation, and very heavy precipitation days in the last 60 yr. The trends for extreme precipitation in the UR were lower than those in the MLR during 1901-2020, particularly in the last 60 yr, whereas the trends in the UR were higher than those in the MLR during 1901-1960. The fluctuations of extreme precipitation indices in the UR were more dramatic than those in the MLR, and the extreme precipitation indices all showed 5-10 or 20 yr periodic variabilities. The analysis also showed that observed changes in regional extreme events were directly related to rapid urbanization around the stations and multi-decadal variability of the East Asian monsoon.

The high number of social media users on YouTube has made many companies interested in advertising on the platform. However, many YouTube users tend to skip the ads that are displayed. The main objective of this research is to determine the factors within YouTube ads that have an influence on Purchase Intention. This study uses a quantitative research method, with variables including Informativeness, Entertainment, Customization, Irritation, Advertising Value, Flow Experience, Brand Awareness, and Purchase Intention. The results of this research show that Informativeness has a significant influence on Advertising Value but not on Flow Experience. Meanwhile, Entertainment and Customization have a significant influence on both Advertising Value and Flow Experience, and Advertising Value, Brand Awareness, and Flow Experience have a significant influence on Purchase Intention. As for Irritation, this variable does not have a significant influence on Advertising Value and Flow Experience.

Favorable climatic conditions make tomato plants (Solanum Lycopersicon) a widely cultivated horticultural crop in Indonesia. However, the increase in tomato production is often accompanied by a decrease in both the quantity and quality of the plants, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and insects like Late Blight and Two-Spotted Spider Mite diseases that attack the tomato leaves. To help farmers identify leaf diseases that have similar characteristics, this study employs image processing with the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm and transfer learning models. Specifically, the study uses the EfficientNetV2M transfer learning architecture which has superior parameter efficiency and training speed compared to other transfer learning models. Additionally, this study conducts four experimental scenarios on preprocessing, including green channel + CLAHE, green channel + Gaussian Blur, CLAHE without green channel, and Gaussian Blur without green channel. The dataset used in this study includes 5,176 images with three labels: Tomato Healthy, Tomato Late Blight, and Tomato Two-Spotted Spider Mite. These images were used to train and produce models, which were then tested using a different dataset from the trained dataset. The testing dataset included 30 image samples divided into three labels. Based on the test results of the four models with different scenarios, the best model was found to be the one with the green channel preprocessing scenario + CLAHE, which was able to precisely predict all 30 image samples with high accuracy.
Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Is There Any Breaking News?
Authors: Kasyan George
Published: April 2023

During recent decades, the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) presented by patients have remained the same, but our understanding and treatment options have improved due to progressions in the field of functional urology. The role of nitric oxide in the ageing of the pelvic floor, bladder, prostate, and urethra is an important mechanism of LUTS. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors are increasingly used in the treatment of these patients. Metabolic syndrome has been suggested as another important aetiological factor for both storage and voiding symptoms. Despite dramatic evolution in treatment strategies, non-adherence to pharmacological therapy is very high. The ineffectiveness and side effects are the primary reasons for the patients stopping treatment. The different aspects of combination therapy and the reported outcomes of patients will be discussed in this review.
Freud's American Nephew: Edward Bernays and the Selling of Psychoanalysis
Authors: Malherek Joseph
Published: April 2023

Sigmund Freud’s relationship with his nephew, the Austrian-American public relations consultant Edward Bernays, was significant but not that of mentor and protégé. Because Bernays became known as an expert in propaganda, however, many biographers, scholars, and critics have concluded that Bernays applied Freud’s theories of the unconscious to manipulate the masses and undermine democracy. Contrary to the myth, this article explores the ways Bernays worked to publicize Freud’s works and popularize psychoanalysis in the United States. Bernays is responsible for much of the mythologizing because he did nothing to dispel the suggestive reports about his relationship with his famous uncle. Based on research in the Bernays papers at the Library of Congress, this article argues that Bernays was skilled not in psychoanalysis but in publicity tactics, and he knew what worked to garner press attention and promote a business, an idea, a cause, or, in the case his own business – himself.
Monoclonal antibody or aspirin desensitization in NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD)?
Authors: Van Broeck Dorien , Steelant Brecht , Scadding Glenis , Hellings Peter W.
Published: April 2023

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by nasal polyposis, asthma, and intolerance to aspirin/NSAID. It affects approximately 15% cases of severe asthma, 10% of nasal polyps and 9% of rhinosinusitis. N-ERD results in associated asthma exacerbations, oral corticosteroids bursts, corticosteroid-dependent disease, and multiple endoscopic sinus surgeries. Unknown influences cause polyp epithelium to release alarmins, such as IL-33 and TSLP. These cytokines activate lymphoid cells, both Th2 and ILC2, to release cytokines such as IL5, IL4 and IL13, resulting in complex type 2 inflammation involving mast cells, eosinophils and platelets. Arachidonic acid released from such cells is metabolized into mediators. N-ERD is characterized by an imbalance in eicosanoid levels, especially CysLTs, PDG and PGE2. Patients with N-ERD present nasal symptoms (congestion, hyposmia/anosmia, nasal discharge) and lower airways symptoms (cough, sneezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness), anosmia, severe hyposmia as well as severe asthma which impacts the quality of life in this disease and leads to safety concerns in patients daily lives. Despite the variety of treatment strategies, the likelihood of recurrence of symptoms is high in patients with N-ERD. The most important strategies for treating N-ERD are listed as following: drug therapies, aspirin desensitization, monoclonal antibodies and other therapies associated. N-ERD treatment remains a major challenge in the current situation. Selecting the appropriate patient for aspirin desensitization, monoclonal antibodies or both is essential. This review provides an overview on aspirin desensitization and biologics in N-ERD and might help in decision making from both the perspective of the physician and patient. Patient characteristics, safety, efficacy, health care costs, but also patient preferences are all factors to take into account when it comes to a choice between biologics or aspirin desensitization.

Intraoperative hypotension is common and has been associated with adverse events, including acute kidney failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Since blood pressure is a multidimensional and measurable variable, artificial intelligence and machine learning have been used to predict it. To date, studies have shown that the prediction and prevention of hypotension can reduce the incidence of hypotension. This review describes the development and evaluation of an artificial intelligence predictive algorithm called Hypotension Prediction (HPI), which can predict hypotension up to 15 min before it occurs.

Prolonged cell cycle arrests occur naturally in differentiated cells and in response to various stresses such as nutrient deprivation or treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Whether and how cells survive prolonged cell cycle arrests is not clear. Here, we used S. cerevisiae to compare physiological cell cycle arrests and genetically induced arrests in G1-, meta- and anaphase. Prolonged cell cycle arrest led to growth attenuation in all studied conditions, coincided with activation of the Environmental Stress Response (ESR) and with a reduced ribosome content as determined by whole ribosome purification and TMT mass spectrometry. Suppression of the ESR through hyperactivation of the Ras/PKA pathway reduced cell viability during prolonged arrests, demonstrating a cytoprotective role of the ESR. Attenuation of cell growth and activation of stress induced signaling pathways also occur in arrested human cell lines, raising the possibility that the response to prolonged cell cycle arrest is conserved.
