Secretome-Mediated Interactions with Intestinal Epithelial Cells: A Role for Secretome Components from Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 in the Attenuation of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Secretome and TNF-α–Induced Proinflammatory Responses
Authors: Jeffrey Michael P. , MacPherson Chad W. , Mathieu Olivier , Tompkins Thomas A. , Green-Johnson Julia M.
Published: April 2020

Recent evidence suggests that lactic acid bacteria communicate with host cells via secretome components to influence immune responses but less is known about gut-pathogen secretomes, impact of lactic acid bacteria secretomes on host–pathogen interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions. Genome-wide microarrays and cytokine profiling were used to interrogate the impact of the Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 secretome (LrS) on TNF-α and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium secretome (STS)–induced outcomes in human intestinal epithelial cells. The LrS attenuated both TNF-α– and STS-induced gene expression involved in NF-κB and MAPK activation, as well as expression of genes involved in other immune-related signaling pathways. Specifically, the LrS induced the expression of dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), and tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3), negative regulators of innate immune signaling, in HT-29 intestinal epithelial cells challenged with TNF-α or STS. TNF-α– and STS-induced acetylation of H3 and H4 histones was attenuated by the LrS, as was the production of TNF-α– and STS-induced proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Interestingly, the LrS induced production of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a cytokine involved in host–microbe interactions at the gut interface. We propose that the LrS attenuates proinflammatory mediator expression through increased transcription of negative regulators of innate immune activity and changes in global H3 and H4 histone acetylation. To our knowledge, these findings provide novel insights into the complex multifaceted mechanisms of action behind secretome-mediated interdomain communication at the gut-mucosal interface.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in lupus patients, but the mechanisms of kidney damage remain unclear. In this study, we introduce, to our knowledge, novel models of LN designed to resemble the polygenic nature of human lupus by embodying three key genetic alterations: the Sle1 interval leading to anti-chromatin autoantibodies; Mfge8−/−, leading to defective clearance of apoptotic cells; and either C1q−/− or C3−/−, leading to low complement levels. We report that proliferative glomerulonephritis arose only in the presence of all three abnormalities (i.e., in Sle1.Mfge8−/−C1q−/− and Sle1.Mfge8−/−C3−/− triple-mutant [TM] strains [C1q−/−TM and C3−/−TM, respectively]), with structural kidney changes resembling those in LN patients. Unexpectedly, both TM strains had significant increases in autoantibody titers, Ag spread, and IgG deposition in the kidneys. Despite the early complement component deficiencies, we observed assembly of the pathogenic terminal complement membrane attack complex in both TM strains. In C1q−/−TM mice, colocalization of MASP-2 and C3 in both the glomeruli and tubules indicated that the lectin pathway likely contributed to complement activation and tissue injury in this strain. Interestingly, enhanced thrombin activation in C3−/−TM mice and reduction of kidney injury following attenuation of thrombin generation by argatroban in a serum-transfer nephrotoxic model identified thrombin as a surrogate pathway for complement activation in C3-deficient mice. These novel mouse models of human lupus inform the requirements for nephritis and provide targets for intervention.
Breast cancer anti-hormonal therapy and rheumatic diseases: linking the clinical to molecular world
Authors: Melillo Nadia , Cantatore Francesco Paolo
Published: April 2020

Anti-hormonal therapies are used in the treatment of hormone dependent breast cancer. Their use may be complicated with the onset of arthralgia and autoimmune diseases. Recently a clinical relationship between oestrogen, anti-oestrogen therapy and rheumatic diseases has been reported in the literature, but, until now, experimental supporting data about the interacting biochemical pathways involved are still very limited. The understanding of this molecular link may provide important information to elucidate the relationship between autoimmunity and cancer mechanism and treatment. This review is intended to highlight the relationship between known common molecular mechanisms which explain this association and that probably need to be investigated in future studies.

Published: April 2020

Plasma cortisol and its metabolites are physiological indicators for stress assessment and slaughtering method may affect their levels, playing an important role in the correct acidification of meat. The aim of the study was to determine and compare plasma cortisol values in animals slaughtered using traditional procedures, which include stunning (using captive bolt pistol), with those in animals slaughtered using Halal method, which does not involve stunning. The study was carried out on a total of 60 Charolais male beef cattle of eight months of age, bred in free paddock outdoors. The animals were divided into two experimental groups, each consisting of 30 individuals, on the basis of the slaughtering method, i.e. traditional or Halal, to verify the whole production chain and to ensure that the product conformed to Muslim rules. Plasma cortisol levels (detected by Elisa test) were evaluated at two different times of animal productive life: on the farm, one week before slaughter (T0) and during bleeding (T1). The 30 calves slaughtered after stunning showed plasma cortisol values of 4.06±1.94 and 43.72±12.09 nmol/L, respectively on the farm and during exsanguination. Conversely, the average values found in the 30 calves subjected to ritual slaughter were 3.26±1.01 and 88.81±41.02 nmol/L. The study demonstrated that throughout the animal’s productive life (from pasture to slaughter) the greatest variation between slaughter with and without stunning was observed during bleeding.
Indicator-mineral signatures of the Casino porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit, Yukon

Published: April 2020

This open file reports the results of an indicator mineral case study carried out around the Casino porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposit in the unglaciated terrain of the west central Yukon. The research was part of the Geological Survey of Canada's (GSC) Targeted
Geoscience Initiative 5 (TGI-5) Program. The purpose of the study was to test the use of indicator minerals as a porphyry Cu exploration tool in unglaciated terrain. At 22 sites around the deposit, a bulk stream sediment sample was collected to document the indicator mineral signature of the
deposit. Steam water and stream silt samples were also collected at the same sites to compare geochemical to heavy mineral signatures. This open file presents indicator mineral abundance data for the bulk stream sediment samples.
The Casino deposit has an obvious indicator mineral signature in the <2 mm heavy (>3.2 specific gravity (SG)) and mid-density (2.8-3.2 SG) fractions of stream sediments that consists of, in order of usefulness:
gold>chalcopyrite>molybdenite>sphalerite>jarosite>goethite>pyrite that is detectable at least 14 km downstream. Similar indicator mineral patterns in other creeks indicate the presence of additional porphyry style mineralization
nearby. Detailed characterization of the mineral chemistry of tourmaline and scheelite that is in progress will determine their suitability for porphyry Cu exploration in this unglaciated terrain. Government and exploration surveys will benefit from the addition of indicator mineral sampling to
routine stream sediment sampling protocols.

Published: April 2020

Abstract. The water uptake of aerosol influences its optical depth and capacity for
cloud formation, depending on the vertical profile of aerosol hygroscopicity
because of different solar radiation received and supersaturation (SS) conditions
at different atmospheric levels. Such information is lacking over the polluted
East Asian region. This study presents aircraft-based in situ measured aerosol
size distributions and chemical compositions by a series of flights over
the Beijing area in wintertime. Under high relative humidity (hRH) conditions (surface
RH > 60 %), a significant enhancement of aerosol
hygroscopicity parameter (κ) in the planetary boundary layer (PBL)
was observed to increase by 50 % from 0.20 up to 0.34 from the surface to
the top of the PBL (vertical gradient of ∼0.13 km−1), along
with the dry particle effective diameter (Deff) being increased by
71 % and activation ratio up to 0.23 (0.64) at SS =0.05 % (0.1 %).
However, a lower vertical gradient of κ (0.05 km−1) and smaller
Deff was exhibited under low RH (lRH, surface RH < 60 %). This
suggests that the aqueous processes played an important role in promoting the
enhancement of particle hygroscopicity in the PBL. The κ in the
lower free troposphere (LFT) was relatively stable at 0.24±0.03 with
a slight increase during regional transport. The enhancement of aerosol
optical depth (AOD) due to water uptake ranged 1.0–1.22 for the PBL under lRH
and LFT, but it reached as high as 6.4 in the PBL under hRH. About 80 % and
18 % of the AOD were contributed to by aerosol hygroscopic growth under hRH
and lRH, respectively. These results emphasize the important evolution of
aerosol water-uptake capacity in the PBL, especially under the high RH
condition.
Development of a new nanoparticle sizer equipped with a 12-channel multi-port differential mobility analyzer and multi-condensation particle counters
Authors: Lee Hong Ku , Lee Handol , Ahn Kang-Ho
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Measuring particle size distributions precisely is an important concern in addressing environmental and human health-related issues. To measure
particle size distributions, a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) is often used. However, it is difficult to analyze particle size
distributions under fast-changing concentration conditions because the SMPS cannot respond fast enough to reflect current conditions due to the
time necessary for voltage scanning. In this research, we developed a new nanoparticle sizer (NPS), which consists of a multi-port differential
mobility analyzer (MP-DMA) with 12 sampling ports and multi-condensation particle counters (M-CPCs) that simultaneously measure concentrations of
particles classified by the sampling ports. The M-CPC can completely condense particles larger than 10 nm, and the total particle concentrations
measured by each CPC in the M-CPCs and an electrometer were in agreement up to 20 000 no.cm-3. We conducted size
distribution measurements under steady-state conditions using an aerosol generator and under unsteady conditions by switching the aerosol supply
on or off. The data obtained by the NPS corresponded closely to the SMPS measurement data for the steady-state particle concentration case. In
addition, the NPS could successfully capture the changes in particle size distribution under fast-changing particle concentration
conditions. Finally, we present NPS measurement results of size distributions in a common situation (cooking) as an exemplary real-world application.
Distributed observations of wind direction using microstructures attached to actively heated fiber-optic cables
Authors: Lapo Karl , Freundorfer Anita , Pfister Lena , Schneider Johann , Selker John , Thomas Christoph
Published: April 2020

Abstract. The weak-wind boundary layer is characterized by turbulent and submesoscale motions that break the assumptions necessary for using traditional eddy covariance observations such as horizontal homogeneity and stationarity, motivating the need for an observational system that allows spatially resolving measurements of atmospheric flows near the surface. Fiber-optic distributed sensing (FODS) potentially opens the door to observing a wide range of atmospheric processes on a spatially distributed basis and to date has been used to resolve the turbulent fields of air temperature and wind speed on scales of seconds and decimeters. Here we report on progress developing a FODS technique for observing spatially distributed wind direction. We affixed microstructures shaped as cones to actively heated fiber-optic cables with opposing orientations to impose directionally sensitive convective heat fluxes from the fiber-optic cable to the air, leading to a difference in sensed temperature that depends on the wind direction. We demonstrate the behavior of a range of microstructure parameters including aspect ratio, spacing, and size and develop a simple deterministic model to explain the temperature differences as a function of wind speed. The mechanism behind the directionally sensitive heat loss is explored using computational fluid dynamics simulations and infrared images of the cone-fiber system. While the results presented here are only relevant for observing wind direction along one dimension, it is an important step towards the ultimate goal of a full three-dimensional, distributed flow sensor.
Effects of environmental and management factors on worldwide maize and soybean yields over the 20th and 21st centuries
Authors: Lin Tzu-Shun , Song Yang , Jain Atul K. , Lawrence Peter , Kheshgi Haroon S.
Published: April 2020

Abstract. The land process model, ISAM, is extended to accurately simulate contemporary soybean and maize crop yields, and estimate changes in yield over the period 1901–2100 driven by past and future changes in environmental factors – atmospheric CO2 level ([CO2]) and climate (temperature and precipitation) – and management factors – nitrogen fertilizer and deposition, irrigation, and crop harvest areas. Over the 20th century, each of these factors contributes to the increase in global crop yield with increasing nitrogen fertilizer application the strongest of these drivers for maize and increasing [CO2] the strongest for soybean. Over the 21st century, two future scenarios – RCP4.5-SSP2 and RCP8.5-SSP5 – of the environmental and management factors are modeled to estimate their influence on future crop yield. For both crops under both scenarios, changing climate drives yield lower, while rising [CO2] drives yield higher. For soybean, the negative climate effect is more than offset by the other drivers – particularly the increase in [CO2] – leading to an increase in global soybean yield by the 2090s. For maize, combined negative climate and harvest area effects are offset in RCP4.5-SSP2, which has continued growth in nitrogen fertilizer application, leaving global yield roughly unchanged. However, in RCP8.5-SSP5 maize yield declines since this scenario has greater warming of climate and weaker nitrogen fertilizer application than RCP4.5-SSP2. The model also projects differences between geographical regions; notably, higher temperatures in tropical regions limit photosynthesis rates and reduce light interception by accelerating phenological development in both crops, particularly for RCP8.5-SSP5 and for soybean.
A general method for the determination of the instantaneous screw axes of one-degree-of-freedom spatial mechanisms
Authors: Valderrama-Rodríguez Juan Ignacio , Rico José M. , Cervantes-Sánchez J. Jesús
Published: April 2020

Abstract. This contribution shows that a method proposed previously, for the determination of the instantaneous centers of rotation of planar closed chains, can be generalized for the determination of the instantaneous screw axes of general one-degree-of-freedom spatial mechanisms. Hence, the approach presented in this paper can be applied to any of the closed chains that belong to any of the subgroups of the Euclidean group, SE(3), namely planar, spherical or chains associated with the Schönflies subgroups, among others. Furthermore it can be also applied to multi-loop mechanisms and even to closed chains that are exceptional o paradoxical, as indicated by Hervé.
Exposure of real estate properties to the 2018 Hurricane Florence flooding
Authors: Tedesco Marco , McAlpine Steven , Porter Jeremy R.
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Quantifying the potential exposure of property to damages associated with storm surges, extreme weather and hurricanes is fundamental to developing frameworks that can be used to conceive and implement mitigation plans as well as support urban development that accounts for such events. In this study, we aim at quantifying the total value and area of properties exposed to the flooding associated with Hurricane Florence that occurred in September 2018. To this aim, we implement an approach for the identification of affected areas by generating a map of the maximum flood
extent obtained from a combination of the flood extent produced by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) water marks with those obtained from spaceborne radar remote-sensing data. The use of radar in the creation of the flood extent allows for those properties commonly missed by FEMA's interpolation methods, especially from pluvial or non-fluvial sources, and can be used in more accurately estimating the exposure and market value of properties to event-specific flooding. Lastly, we study and quantify how the urban development over the past decades in the regions flooded by Hurricane Florence might have impacted the exposure of properties to present-day storms and floods. This approach is conceptually similar to what experts are addressing as the “expanding bull's eye effect”, in which “targets” of geophysical hazards, such as people and their built environments, enlarge as populations grow and spread. Our results indicate that the total value of property exposed to flooding during Hurricane Florence was USD 52 billion (in 2018 USD), with this value increasing from
USD ∼10 billion at the beginning of the past century to the final amount based on the expansion of the number of properties exposed. We also found that, despite the decrease in the number of properties built during the decade before Florence, much of the new construction was in proximity to permanent water bodies, hence increasing exposure to flooding. Ultimately, the results of this paper provide a new tool for shedding light on the relationships between urban development in coastal areas and the flooding of those areas, which is estimated to increase in view of projected increasing sea level rise, storm surges and the strength of storms.
Building visualization skills through investigating the Journal of the Medical Library Association coauthorship network from 2006–2017
Authors: Reznik-Zellen Rebecca , Carroll Alexander J. , Harrington Eileen G. , Joubert Douglas James , Nix Tyler , Alpi Kristine M.
Published: April 2020

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to explore different dimensions of Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) authorship from 2006–2017. Dimensions that were evaluated using coauthorship networks and affiliation data included collaboration, geographical reach, and relationship between Medical Library Association (MLA) member and nonmember authors. A secondary objective was to analyze the practice and practical application of data science skills.Methods: A team of librarians who attended the 2017 Data Science and Visualization Institute used JMLA bibliographic metadata extracted from Scopus, together with select MLA membership data from 2006–2017. Data cleaning, anonymization, analysis, and visualization were done collaboratively by the team members to meet their learning objectives and to produce insights about the nature of collaborative authorship at JMLA.Results: Sixty-nine percent of the 1,351 JMLA authors from 2006–2017 were not MLA members. MLA members were more productive and collaborative, and tended to author articles together. The majority of the authoring institutions in JMLA are based in the United States. Global reach outside of the United States and Canada shows higher authorship in English-speaking countries (e.g., Australia, United Kingdom), as well as in Western Europe and Japan.Conclusions: MLA support of JMLA may benefit a wider network of health information specialists and medical professionals than is reflected in MLA membership. Conducting coauthorship network analyses can create opportunities for health sciences librarians to practice applying emerging data science and data visualization skills.
Understanding medical student evidence-based medicine information seeking in an authentic clinical simulation
Authors: Nicholson Joey , Kalet Adina , Van der Vleuten Cees , De Bruin Anique
Published: April 2020

Objective: Evidence-based medicine practices of medical students in clinical scenarios are not well understood. Optimal foraging theory (OFT) is one framework that could be useful in breaking apart information-seeking patterns to determine effectiveness and efficiency of different methods of information seeking. The aims of this study were to use OFT to determine the number and type of resources used in information seeking when medical students answer a clinical question, to describe common information-seeking patterns, and identify patterns associated with higher quality answers to a clinical question.Methods: Medical students were observed via screen recordings while they sought evidence related to a clinical question and provided a written response for what they would do for that patient based on the evidence that they found.Results: Half (51%) of study participants used only 1 source before answering the clinical question. While the participants were able to successfully and efficiently navigate point-of-care tools and search engines, searching PubMed was not favored, with only half (48%) of PubMed searches being successful. There were no associations between information-seeking patterns and the quality of answers to the clinical question.Conclusion: Clinically experienced medical students most frequently relied on point-of-care tools alone or in combination with PubMed to answer a clinical question. OFT can be used as a framework to understand the information-seeking practices of medical students in clinical scenarios. This has implications for both teaching and assessment of evidence-based medicine in medical students.
Report from the Medical Library Association’s InSight Initiative Summit 3: Bridge Building: What Bridges to Build and How
Authors: Akers Katherine G.
Published: April 2020

At the Medical Library Association’s Insight Initiative Summit 3, held June 12–13, 2019, academic and hospital librarians joined with publishing industry partners to identify vexing problems in publishing and accessing health sciences information. Through a mixture of panel discussions with health sciences faculty, librarians, and information providers; small-group problem-solving exercises; and large-group consensus-building activities, the summit program invited participants to appreciate each other’s viewpoints and propose a collaborative project leading to tangible outcomes that could ultimately benefit end users. Several vexing problems were identified, including poor communication and mistrust between librarians and publishers, complexities in product pricing structures and licenses, and users’ difficulties in accessing and using vetted information resources. However, librarians and publishers agreed that building a better shared understanding of users’ needs and behavior would be the most useful bridge toward regaining trust, establishing more effective partnerships, and designing and delivering quality information resources that are easily accessible and maximally useful to health sciences researchers, educators, clinicians, and students.

Diálogos del arte y la arquitectura a través de la revista 'Arquitectura' (1959-1973)
Authors: Bernal Amparo
Published: April 2020

Este artículo analiza el papel de la revista Arquitectura en la difusión del arte y en la creación de un entorno que favoreciera el diálogo interdisciplinar entre arquitectos y artistas. Los quince años que comprende esta etapa editorial, entre 1959 y 1973, coinciden principalmente con un periodo de apertura internacional del régimen franquista y un desarrollo sin precedentes en la economía española, lo cual propició una extraordinaria demanda en todos los campos de la arquitectura. Como consecuencia de una mayor permeabilidad de nuestras fronteras, el arte español empezó a ser reconocido en el extranjero, y a su vez, nuestros artistas, fotógrafos y diseñadores gráficos se impregnaron de las corrientes artísticas que llegaban desde fuera. Todas estas manifestaciones del arte tuvieron su reflejo en la imagen gráfica y en el contenido de la revista que pretendía reflejar en todas sus dimensiones el contexto artístico y cultural en el que se integraba la arquitectura. Por ello, Arquitectura no sólo fue un medio impreso, sino que, como órgano del Colegio de Arquitectos de Madrid, también generó un entorno intelectual y cultural que favoreció las conexiones de la arquitectura con el arte y los artistas, creando un espacio abierto a toda forma de expresión artística.
El poder del archivo fotográfico 'anti-icónico' y su efecto histórico de representación: Sudamérica en el mapa global moderno
Authors: Goyeneche-Gómez Edward
Published: April 2020

Este artículo analiza el poder del archivo fotográfico, como estrategia de comunicación y conocimiento soportada en premisas objetivistas, para construir, desde un marco institucional privado, un dispositivo narrativo y discursivo que permitiera redefinir, históricamente, el papel de la industria del petróleo en la sociedad global, e insertar a culturas marginadas, como las sudamericanas, dentro de un nuevo régimen de representación visual: un mapa moderno. Metodológicamente se estudia el caso del archivo fotográfico construido, entre 1943 y 1950, por la compañía petrolera Standard Oil Company (New Jersey), mezclando métodos documentales cualitativos tradicionales y métodos de los estudios visuales, con base en fuentes primarias textuales y fotográficas. El análisis de este caso, que revolucionó la relación entre la fotografía y la historia, pone sobre la mesa un antecedente relevante para contrastar los problemas de la comunicación contemporánea vinculados al fenómeno de la posverdad y sus relaciones con la propaganda y la publicidad en la industria privada.
Nobles, damas, aficionadas y diletantes en las exposiciones de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (1793-1808)
Authors: González-Ramos Roberto
Published: April 2020

La Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando organizó exposiciones anuales en sus salas desde 1793. Estas exposiciones, uno de los primeros eventos de este tipo organizados institucionalmente en España, mostraron al público obras de discípulos y profesores de las artes con cierta regularidad, en su primera época entre el citado año hasta 1808, tras el que se produjo una interrupción motivada por la Guerra de la Independencia. Se ha podido constatar que entre los nombres de los artistas que expusieron sus obras en dichas exposiciones abundan los de una categoría nueva y relevante: los aficionados. Este artículo se centra en el análisis, desde una perspectiva sociológica, de los orígenes estamentales, género, número, edades y otras características de dichos aficionados, además de las razones de su participación en esas exposiciones. Puede constatarse que una gran parte de ellos eran personas pertenecientes a la nobleza, lo que resulta sumamente interesante a la hora de valorar su incursión en el mundo de las artes visuales.
La educación personalizada según García Hoz
Authors: Pérez Guerrero Javier , Ahedo Ruiz Josu
Published: April 2020

En este artículo se profundiza filosóficamente en el concepto de educación personalizada tal y como fue concebido por Víctor García Hoz. Para este autor, un proceso de personalización educativa va más allá de una customización de dicho proceso. La educación personalizada tampoco equivale a un proceso de personificación, ya que la persona no puede ser, en ningún caso, resultado de un proceso. La educación personalizada busca como finalidad última ayudar a hacer efectiva la libertad personal de los estudiantes, incrementando su capacidad para dirigir la propia vida, de modo que ésta pueda convertirse en un proyecto personal. La perfección educativa que persigue la educación personalizada es que cada persona se abra a la realidad estableciendo vínculos valiosos con ella y, de esta manera, manifieste su singularidad de la forma más plena posible. Para ello, es imprescindible que la persona sea tenida en cuenta en el proceso educativo, y que la relación educativa sea, ante todo, un encuentro personal entre profesor y alumno que trascienda los vínculos meramente funcionales o instrumentales.
La transición del Bachillerato a la Universidad: identidad vocacional de los alumnos con preferencia por los estudios de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte
Authors: Hernández Franco Vicente , Franco  Álvarez Evelia
Published: April 2020

Diversos estudios internacionales ponen de manifiesto la importancia que tienen los profesionales del mundo del deporte. Los perfiles de intereses y valores vocacionales de esta comunidad profesional definen en gran medida su identidad vocacional y su identificación puede ser de utilidad para llevar a cabo procesos de orientación. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es explorar la identidad vocacional específica de los estudiantes de 2.º de Bachillerato que tienen como opción preferente acceder a los estudios del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte (CCAFyD) y contribuir así a mejorar los procesos de orientación vocacional de esta población. Participaron 4715 sujetos de 2.º de Bachillerato de la Comunidad de Madrid, el 43,9% son varones y el 56,1% mujeres, con una edad media de 17.37 años (DT= .65) que completaron la batería de cuestionarios de orientación que se ofrecen en el e-portafolio vocacional del Proyecto Orión (www.upcomillas.es/myvip). Los resultados revelan que existen diferencias en los intereses y valores vocacionales de los estudiantes de 2.º de Bachillerato que tienen como opción principal estudiar CCAFyD en relación al resto de estudiantes. Concretamente, manifiestan interés hacia el área vocacional de “Deportes”, pero también hacia “Protección y Seguridad”, “Sanidad” y “Enseñanza y Orientación”. Finalmente, como valores vocacionales característicos presentan “Realizar una actividad divertida” y tener un “Horario laboral conciliable con la vida personal”. Se discute si las características vocacionales que presentan los jóvenes que se plantean realizar estudios de CCAFyD son las que se precisan para el ejercicio profesional que demanda actualmente nuestra sociedad.
El indianismo de Álvaro García Linera
Authors: Ren Jian , Ma Ruohui
Published: April 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en el intento de configurar nuevos actores indígenas en el terreno político, investigando para ello la genealogía del pensamiento indianista de Álvaro García Linera. Este indianismo se ha forjado a su vez sobre la base de Reinaga, además de estar vinculado con Valcárcel, del cual recoge el modelo de reorganización de las estructuras comunitarias indígenas; con Mariátegui, en lo ateniente al reconocimiento de la base social comunista de la comunidad indígena; y con Fanon respecto al uso de la violencia en la revolución india y la autoproducción de la lógica anticolonial y descolonizada. En realidad, se trata del indianismo katarista que rompe el desencuentro entre marxismo e indigenismo. Esta reconexión permite asumir nuevos sujetos políticos, fuera del determinismo económico y de la centralidad de la clase trabajadora. Así parece necesario admitir que el indianismo ofrece nuevas meditaciones políticas sobre la construcción de la plurinacionalidad boliviana.

Authors: Acharya Kamal Prasad , Devkota Govinda Prasad , Dhakal Krishna Prasad
Published: April 2020

This article explores the possibilities of the use of eco-san in the school garden in the Nepalese community school, focusing on transformative pedagogical impacts on the social learning environment of the school. In particular, the use of urine as a fertilizer in the school garden through eco-san and linking pedagogical alignment to provide a pleasant experience that has a positive impact on students’ meaningful engagement, social connections, and developing confidence. The main finding for the research question came from qualitative data collected from students, parents, and teachers through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observations and informal conversations. This was supported by analyses of qualitative data on students’ learning, collaborative inquiry, teachers' and parents' engagement and perceptions on the use of human urine as fertilizer from eco-san, and school gardening activities. Results showed that the gardening program attributes valued most highly by the parents and teachers included increased students' meaningful engagement, opportunities for experiential and integrated learning through dialogue conferences, collaborative inquiry, and building social skills like cooperation, sharing and argumentation. Future research should explore whether effects persist over time and if and how changes in students’ positive attitude affect learning through school gardening activities applying human. Suggestions for applying results to future studies are provided.

Background: Autism disorders have increased over the last years. Autism is a neurological growth disorder associated with social communication disorders, growth retardation, and repetitive behaviors, along with serious consequences for children and families. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the relationship between parental mental disorders and autism among the children of West Azerbaijan Province.

Methods: This research was a case-control study in which the case group subjects were selected among the parents with autistic children and control group subjects were selected among the relative parents with healthy children and non-relative parents with healthy children. Both case and control groups were matched in terms of gender, living place, and age of children. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS-16 (Chicago, IL, USA) software.

Results: The current research results revealed that the frequency of mental diseases, including obsessive-compulsive, inter personality sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoid ideation, and psychotic disorder are different in fathers and mothers of the case and control groups. As Pvalue was lower than 0.05 in all scales, there was a significant relationship between the mental diseases of parents and the history of mental disorders in relatives and autism.

Conclusion: The prevalence of mental disorders in relatives and having a medical history can be a warning sign of autism in children.

Various types of toxic xenobiotic and electrophilic compounds, which were formed from the glutathione S-transferases cell metabolism and the oxidation stress, are the group enzymes with detoxification roles that are involved in the metabolism phase II. During the GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene homozygous deletion, the above enzymes completely lose their activity and consequently somatic mutation is formed. Furthermore, it is considered that it might have increased the risk of cancer. Therefore, the research works which connected the GSTMI and GSTTI gene deletion with the cancer of kidney, lung, prostate, breast, stomach, esophagus, large and narrow intestines. In this study, two gene deletion distribution is detected for cancer patients. We collected the blood samples of 60 patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. The DNA was extracted and the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were amplified using multiplex PCR. According to our research, the above two gene deletion is predominant among patients who have cancer. The results showed that from the total 60 patients GSTM1 and GSTT1 both deletions, GSTM1 gene deletion - 35%, GSTM1 gene deletion - 25%, GSTT1 gene deletion - 26.7%, GSTM1 and GSTT1 both positive -13.3 %. Therefore, we think that in order to prevent tumor and cancer, these gene mutations must be revealed and it is important to bring the risky group under medical control and assist them in order to prevent them from this disease.

Methods of functional outliers detection in functional setting have been discussed, i.e. shape outliers and magnitude outliers. Outliergram has been discussed, a tool for functional shape outliers detection. Robust adjusted functional boxplot has been discussed as well, a tool for functional magnitude outliers detection. „The elements of functional outliers analysis have been applied to air pollution data for Katowice and Kraków.”
Factors of Material Consumption in EU Countries in 2000–2015
Authors: Telega Ivan
Published: April 2020

The use of natural resources is an important factor for environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. This problem is reflected in EU strategic documents, including Europe 2020 strategy, where one of the main initiatives is ”resource efficient Europe”. Materials Flow Accounts (MFA) are currently being developed, allowing to estimate the aggregate measures of demand and consumption of materials by each country. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of selected factors on the amount of resources consumed in selected European countries using panel regression models. Due to the availability of data, the study is limited to 2000–2015 period and European countries. According to the results obtained, the combined share of the construction, industrial and agriculture sectors, GDP PPS and final energy consumption per capita increase the demand on materials. The impact of environmental policy instruments in the form of taxes and fees has not been confirmed.
In developed countries GDP growth is possible with a relatively smaller increase in material demand. This may be due to structural changes in the economies of developed countries, technological change, the implementation of recycling, and the use of incentives, such as environmental taxes. Undoubtedly, further studies of factors determining the volume of material demand are needed.
Nonparametric Versus Parametric Reasoning Based on Contingency Tables
Authors: Sulewski Piotr
Published: April 2020

This paper proposes scenarios of generating two-way and three way contingency tables (CTs). A concept of probability flow parameter (PFP) plays a crucial role in these scenarios. Additionally, measures of untruthfulness of H0 are defined. The power divergence statistics and the |X| statistics are used. This paper is a simple attempt to replace a nonparametric statistical inference from CTs by the parametric one. Maximum likelihood method is applied to estimate PFP and instructions of generating CTs according to scenarios in question are presented. The Monte Carlo method is used to carry out computer simulations.
Non-Stationary Gale Economy with Limited Technology and Multilane Turnpike. ”Weak”, ”Strong” and ”Very Strong” Turnpike Theorem
Authors: Panek Emil
Published: April 2020

In the author’s previous papers (2016a, 2016b) the generalized concept of turnpike in the stationary Gale’s economy has been proposed – a single turnpike (single von Neumann’s ray) has been replaced with a compact bundle of turnpikes and it has been called multilane turnpike. It has been proven that the ”weak” turnpike theorem holds in (a) stationary Gale’s economy with fixed (unchangeable in time) production technology and in (b) non-stationary Gale’s economy with technology convergent with time to a limit technology. In this article, in reference to the aforementioned papers, alongside with the ”weak” turnpike theorem, the proof of the ”strong” and ”very strong” turnpike theorem has been presented for the partially modified assumptions in a non-stationary economy with multilane turnpike and with technology convergent with time to a limit technology.
Principal components of the smart development of Poland
Authors: Rozmus Dorota , Trzęsiok Joanna
Published: April 2020

The STRATEG system created by Statistics Poland for monitoring cohesion policy, contains more than 300 indicators for measuring smart development. Due to a large number of variables, it seems appropriate to examine the possibility of constructing synthetic indicators that best represent the primary variables. The aim of this study, which was conducted on the basis of data for 2015 from the STRATEG and BDL databases, is to identify, owing to the use of factor analysis, the main components of smart development in Poland, informing about the most important areas characterised by the indicators of smart development.
As a result 7 main components were obtained, which together account for more than 94% of variance from the original set of indicators and for which a substantive interpretation was proposed.

Published: April 2020

The aim of the article is to present the results of cohort analysis of enterprise duration in Łódzkie voivodship in the years 2001—2015 (including cities with powiat status such as Łódź, Piotrków Trybunalski and Skierniewice) conducted on the basis of data from the National Official Business Register REGON. The article with selected annual information from cohort enterprise duration tables prepared for enterprises established in Łódzkie voivodship contains i.a., assessment of liquidation survival probability of enterprises in the first, third and fifth year of activity, and estimation of probability of persistence and survival in the period 0—1, 0—3 and 0—5 years. The obtained results confirmed that in each of the analysed periods there was a strong similarity in characteristics of enterprise duration in Łódzkie voivodship, including Łódź. However, the situation of enterprises from Piotrków Trybunalski and Skierniewice differed in terms of duration from the situation of units from Łódź, particularly for the third year of business activity.
