Published: June 2022

The influence of thinking flexibility on design is often underestimated by researchers in the field of design education. In this study, morphological analysis was used as a tool to develop design proposals and eye tracking technology was applied to track the attention. The feature of thinking activities in problem-solving between two groups (novice and expert) was analyzed by Heat map and Gaze plot in qualitative, and measured by indicators such as fixation and saccade in quantitative. Findings suggested that, i) Experts showed more fixation duration and fixation numbers in thinking activities, and the attention containing more AOIs was positively related to the rationality of the scheme. ii) Saccades with greater amplitude were more beneficial to the novelty of scheme. iii) Experts considered the information of each block in a balanced way, while novices tended to ignore unimportant blocks. These results will have a far-reaching impact on the development of designers’ thinking and help novices to exercise creative thinking and produce high-quality designs.

Published: June 2022

Objective

Cysteine conjugate beta-lyase 2 (CCBL2), also known as kynurenine aminotransferase 3 (KAT3) or glutamine transaminase L (GTL), plays an essential role in transamination and cytochrome P450. Its correlation with some other cancers has been explored, but breast cancer (BC) not yet.

Methods

The mRNA and protein expression of CCBL2 in BC cell lines and patient samples were detected by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC). BC patients’ clinical information and RNA-Seq expression were acquired via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Patients were categorized into high/low CCBL2 expression groups based on the optimal cutoff value (8.973) determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. We investigated CCBL2 and clinicopathological characteristics’ relationship using Chi-square tests, estimated diagnostic capacity using ROC curves and drew survival curves using Kaplan–Meier estimate. We compared survival differences using Cox regression and externally validated using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. We evaluated enriched signaling pathways using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), explored CCBL2 and relevant genes’ relationship using tumor immunoassay resource (TIMER) databases and used the human protein atlas (HPA) for pan-cancer analysis and IHC.

Results

CCBL2 was overexpressed in normal human cell lines and tissues. CCBL2 expression was lower in BC tissues (n = 1104) than in normal tissues (n = 114), validated by GEO database. Several clinicopathologic features were related to CCBL2, especially estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and clinical stages. The low expression group exhibited poor survival. CCBL2’s area under curve (AUC) analysis showed finite diagnostic capacity. Multivariate cox-regression analysis indicated CCBL2 independently predicted BC survival. GSEA showed enriched pathways: early estrogen response, MYC and so on. CCBL2 positively correlated with estrogen, progesterone and androgen receptors. CCBL2 was downregulated in most cancers and was associated with their survival, including renal and ovarian cancers.

Conclusions

Low CCBL2 expression is a promising poor BC survival independent prognostic marker.

Background

In populations at high risk of HIV infection, rates of depression can be elevated with far-reaching effects on overall well-being. There is limited research on depression among young women engaged in high-risk sexual behaviour in low and middle-income settings. We investigated the prevalence, correlates and factors associated with mean HSCL depression score among young women at high risk (aged 15–24 years old) in Kampala, Uganda.

Methods

We conducted a baseline analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Probable depression was measured using the 15-item Hopkins Symptoms Checklist for depression (HSCL). This checklist has been validated in Ugandan populations, and our reliability test gave a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.89. The test was administered to all the participants. Participants whose HSCL mean score was greater than 1.75 were categorized as having probable depression. Socio-demographics and behaviour data were collected and factors associated with mean HSCL depression score were analysed using multiple linear regression.

Results

Data was available for 600 participants, mean age 20.4 (SD±2.44) years. The prevalence of probable depression was 56% (95% CI, 52%-60%). Probable depression symptoms were most prevalent among those who reported ever-experiencing violence from a sexual partner (64.7%), those aged between 20–24 years (58.2%) and those who reported more than 10 sexual exposures in the month prior to the interview (56.8%). At the adjusted analysis level, condom use during their last sexual intercourse prior to the survey decreased probable depression symptoms by 0.147 units compared to those who never used condoms (β = -0.147, 95% CI -0.266–0.027). Having experienced physical violence by a sexual partners increased mean HSCL depression score by 0.183 units compared to those who have never experienced violence (β = 0.183, 95% CI 0.068–0.300). Participants who reported ever using drugs of addiction had their mean HSCL depression scoreincrease by 0.20 units compared to those who have never used (β = 0.20,95% CI 0.083–0.317).

Conclusions

Probable depression is high in this population and increased mean HSCL depression score is related to violence. Periodic screening for depression and interventions targeting depression, partner violence and risky sexual behaviours are recommended.

Integrated Management of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum, An Emerging Fungal Pathogen Causing White Mold Disease
Authors: Faruk Md. Iqbal
Published: June 2022

Sclerotiniasclerotiorum, the causal agent for white mold (Sclerotinia stem rot), is a devastating fungal pathogen. Currently, Sclerotinia is most commonly managed using the chemical fungicide which can lead to Sclerotinia resistance development, impacting biodiversity and interfering with key ecosystem services. In this regards, field experiments were conducted during 2017-18 planting seasons to evaluate the efficacy of different components viz. sawdust burning, stable bleaching powder, fungal and bacterial bio-control agents, chemical fungicide Rovral 50 WP and integration of different components for the management white mold disease of bush bean, mustard and garden pea in three different locations viz. in the field of Plant Pathology Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Burirhat, Rangpur and RARS, Ishurdi, Pabna, respectively. The results showed that different treatments displayed varying levels of effectiveness against the disease. All the treatments gave satisfactory reduction of white mold disease development and increased plant growth as well as yield of bush bean, mustard and garden pea. Among the treatments, integration of saw dust burning + soil amendments with Trichoderma based bio-fungicide + bacillus based bio-control agents + application fungicide Rovral 50 WP is the best treatment which reduced 97.49%, 77.72%, 72.26% white mold disease incidence and 84.61%, 81.14%, 71.01% white mold disease severity of mustard, bush bean and garden pea, respectively and increasing plant growth parameter as well as 52.16%, 27.74%, 36.97% yield of mustard, bush bean and garden pea, respectively. Application of only fungicide Rovral 50 WP also better treatment in reduction of white mold disease incidence and disease severity and increasing plant growth parameter as well as increasing yield of mustard, bush bean and garden pea. Soil amendment with fungal or bacterial bio-control agents also gave satisfactory results in reduction of white mold disease incidence and disease severity and increasing plant growth parameter as well as increasing yield of mustard, bush bean and garden pea. It could be concluded from the obtained results that integration between bio-control agents as a soil treatment and foliar application chemical fungicide might be useful as a good tool for controlling white mold disease caused by S.sclerotiorum and obtained higher yield of bush bean, mustard and garden pea under field condition.

Published: June 2022

In order to fully understand the objective law of height and DBH growth of loblolly pine trees and exploring the best DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) Range for loblolly pine tree height growth, 13 340 loblolly pines with initial DBH between 1 inch and 7 inch were selected from Alabama as research objects, and statistics on its growth from 2000 to 2015. Because particle swarm optimization (PSO) is suitable for solving non-linear problems, the optimal DBH of loblolly pine is transformed into the optimization problem of PSO, which quantifies the optimal DBH range of loblolly pine at different scales by mapping strategy. The experimental results show that the range of the breast diameter suitable for the high growth of the pine tree is concentrated between 3.7 inch and 7.3 inch. The height of the pine tree begins to enter a period of rapid growth from a breast diameter of 3.9 inch (ą0.2 inch ). The tree height growth rate reached a maximum at a breast diameter of 6.4 inch (ą0.6 inch ), and the tree height entered a slow growth period after the breast diameter of 11.92 inch (ą0.3 inch). In general, when the breast diameter exceeds 15.26 inch (ą0.3 inch), the height of the pine tree stops growing.

Introduction/objective: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a multifactorial mental health disorder. Stressful events and childhood abuse have been included in different models to explain its etiology. However, little evidence is available on how attributional style and early maladaptive schemas are related to MDD. Method: A retrospective case-control study using a three-stage hierarchical logistic model was conducted to explore the relationship between MDD and psychosocial variables such as childhood adversity, stressful life events, attributional style, and cognitive schemas in a sample of 171 individuals with a current depressive episode and 171 healthy controls. Results: Depression could be predicted by childhood adversity, an attributional style characterized by interpreting stressful events as negative and uncontrollable and the cognitive schemas in impaired autonomy/performance domains and impaired limits. Conclusions: Our results highlight the relevance of identifying cognitive factors, beyond clinical symptoms that could be useful to better understand MDD. These findings may result in better preventive programs and create awareness of the role of cognitive domains in MDD.

Authors: Bressan Catalina
Published: June 2022

En este artículo analizamos las políticas públicas participativas en el marco de una reflexión sobre los condicionamientos de la escala en la representación ciudadana de lo público como lo común. Utilizamos como casos de estudio el Presupuesto Participativo General y el Presupuesto Participativo Joven de la ciudad de Gualeguaychú (Entre Ríos). En términos metodológicos, es un trabajo cualitativo apoyado fundamentalmente con fuentes primarias mediante entrevistas en profundidad a actores clave y la observación directa durante las asambleas populares de los dispositivos. Las fuentes secundarias utilizadas son principalmente de tipo documental y bibliográfico. La hipótesis del artículo es que la escala mayor incide positivamente en la representación ciudadana de lo público como lo común. En sentido inverso, a medida que la escala disminuye el carácter común propio de lo público se fragmenta.
Custodiar lo etéreo. Avances y desafíos en la protección jurídica del patrimonio inmaterial en Argentina
Authors: Levrand Norma Elizabeth
Published: June 2022

Desde la segunda mitad del S. XX se produjo una progresiva ampliación en los bienes incluidos en el sintagma “patrimonio cultural” incluyendo aquellos elementos inmateriales como costumbres o testimonios significativos de una cultura. La Convención para la Salvaguarda del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial (UNESCO 2003) define los ámbitos de las manifestaciones inmateriales y establece el inventario como herramienta jurídica esencial de tutela. En Argentina, el inventario y la declaratoria han sido utilizados en el ámbito del patrimonio histórico-artístico desde la década de 1940. A partir del análisis de un conjunto de normas, jurisprudencia, y los relevamientos de patrimonio inmaterial realizados a nivel provincial y nacional es posible sistematizar el estado actual del régimen legal del patrimonio inmaterial en este país. Este trabajo procura consignar el estatuto jurídico del patrimonio inmaterial en Argentina a partir de las huellas que pueden rastrearse en la legislación y jurisprudencia de los últimos años.
La política de educación superior en el fortalecimiento de las instituciones técnicas y tecnológicas en Colombia
Authors: de la Hoz Remberto
Published: June 2022

Este artículo es fruto de los resultados de la investigación eva-luativa que realizó el Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN) de Colombia a dieciséis instituciones de educación técnica y tecnológica adscritas a este organismo del Estado. Mediante un abordaje cuantitativo, se estudió la asociación entre la gestión y los resultados de las instituciones y la apropiación de elementos de la política educativa diseñada para tales fines. En síntesis, se encontró una débil correlación que no resultó efectiva al realizar las pruebas de hipótesis. Los resultados sugieren que el desempeño institucional no se explica contundentemente con la participación en los proyectos emprendidos por el MEN en el marco de la polí-tica, lo cual puede significar que las capacidades y los contextos institucionales son su determinante o que los programas que em-prendió el MEN fueron poco pertinentes respecto a las necesidades particulares de las instituciones, o demasiado estandarizados que no llegaban hasta las raíces de las problemáticas institucionales.
Migración hacia los espacios rururbanos en Popayán (Colombia) para la primera década del siglo XXI
Authors: Gomez Sanchez Andres Mauricio , Macuacé Otero Ronald Alejandro
Published: June 2022

El crecimiento urbano tiene fuertes implicaciones económicas, sociales, ambientales, e inclusive políticas. En el presente siglo en Popayán (Colombia) se identifican algunos de los impactos mencionados, los cuales iniciaron en décadas pasadas pero tomaron fuerza en estos últimos años, debidos no solo al crecimiento acelerado de la población, sino a la migración creciente, la masificación de asentamientos urbanos subnormales, la población de territorios bajamente poblados, la rururbanización, entre otros. En este orden de ideas, el presente artículo indaga, a través de un modelo Logit Multinomial, por los factores sociales y económicos que determinan las migraciones hacia Popayán. Los principales resultados encuentran que la seguridad que ofrece la ciudad es lo que motiva con mayor probabilidad a que una familia migre a la capital caucana, seguido de la adquisición de vivienda, la salud y el arraigo a la vida rural.

En el presente trabajo intentaremos poner en cuestión una idea dominante respecto a la intervención política de la burguesía ar-gentina: la fortaleza de la burguesía agraria más concentrada para imponer sus intereses económico-corporativos a diferentes gobiernos en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, discutiendo la pertinencia del concepto de “oligarquía”. Luego de evaluar críticamente la producción sobre el tema, analizaremos algunos datos cuantitativos que nos permitirán poner en duda los supuestos dominantes. Por último, presentaremos un estudio de caso en el que observaremos la relación política establecida por la burguesía agropecuaria con los gobiernos que siguieron al golpe de estado de 1966. En par-ticular, las gestiones de los diferentes equipos que pasaron por la cartera de Agricultura y Ganadería entre 1966 y 1971, su relación con las corporaciones agrarias y los límites que encontraron para desplegar su política.

The main purpose of the paper is to prove the convergence of a numerical solution to a nonstationary Leontief-type system with an initial-final condition. Non-stationary Leontief-type systems are used in the study of dynamic balance models of the economy. Nonstationarity of systems is described using a scalar function, which is multiplied by one of the matrices of the system. The distinctive feature of Leontief-type systems is the matrix singularity at the derivative with time, which is due to the fact that some types of resources of economic systems cannot be stored. In the article, the initial-final condition is used instead of the standard initial condition, which for economic systems can be interpreted as taking into account indicators not only at the initial moment of time, but also indicators that will be achieved at the final moment of time. Previously, the solution of such a problem was studied and described using contour integrals. However, this type of solution is not very convenient for largedimensional systems, so this article proposes a description of the numerical solution without the use of contour integrals, and also examines the convergence of this numerical solution.

The influence of shock absorber characteristics’ nonlinearities on suspension Frequency Response Function estimation and possibilities of simplified characteristics modelling
Authors: Ślaski Grzegorz , Klockiewicz Zbyszko
Published: June 2022

The paper shortly presents shock absorber design evolution and resulting achieved characteristics. The way in which suspension performance is evaluated is described giving information about models used for suspension parameter tuning during simulation testing of suspension transmissibility (FRF - Frequency Response Function) for most important suspension assessment criteria. More detailed information about models of shock absorber (damper) nonlinearities of characteristics allows for description of methods of linear and nonlinear suspension models FRF estimation. Testing linear suspension model is possible with the use of analytical transfer function formulas which were used to verify methods for estimation FRF using estimated power spectral density functions of excitation and response signals. Designing appropriate input signal allowing to get useful response signals was necessary to for the success of this research. Proposed FRF estimation method was used for linear estimation of nonlinear suspension for a given range of working condition. It was demonstrated that there is no single value of a damping coefficient which would make the linear model responses similar to the responses of the nonlinear one. Then the bilinear model was proposed, giving good damper static nonlinear characteristic.
Profane-sacred Attributes in The Designof Funeral Services in Yogyakarta and Solo, Indonesia
Authors: Wardhani Mustika
Published: June 2022

Funeral services are part of public facilities with deep meaning for the mourners to ‘say goodbye’. In Indonesia, funeral services are regulated in Spatial and Regional Planning that adapts to the local context and culture. However, the development of funeral services encountered various obstacles in the availability of adequate facilities and have ‘less-meaning’ in small towns. The death of a loved one causes psychological distress for the family and those left behind. This problem underlies study related to the meaning of profane-sacred values in funeral services. The method used is a qualitative study with a storytelling approach through observations at funeral homes and crematoriums in Yogyakarta and Solo, Indonesia. This study shows that the profane zones of funeral services can manifest in flexibility, continuity of space, relief of spatial dimensions, and clarity of circulation. The 'chaotic' phases of mourning can be neutralised with monochrome colours to create an atmosphere of consolation. Meanwhile, sacred zones can be applied rigid, angular, and centred as a form of honour. Landscape interventions may aim to neutralise a grief situation and potentially be an aspect of natural healing. Moreover, landscape planning around the main building can address sustainability and environmental balance. The results of this study are expected to provide a discourse that funeral buildings are not only seen as 'a space of activity', but beyond that, it has a significant role in healing aspects in bereavement conditions.
Poles’ knowledge about the coordination of retirement pensions in the European Union: an empirical study
Authors: Gzik Monika
Published: June 2022

The purpose of the article is to indicate the need to popularize knowledge in Poland about the coordination of retirement pensions in the EU and to present good practices for disseminating knowledge about coordination in selected countries covered by the coordination regulation. The following research hypothesis has been presented: the level of Poles’ knowledge about the coordination of retirement pensions in the European Union is low. The author’s own research was carried out based on the quantitative CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing) method. The research included a survey sample with a total of 1,000 respondents. The nationwide survey was carried out among the Polish working population. The author's own research focuses precisely on the international aspect of pensions coordination. The research confirmed the low level of Poles' knowledge about coordination. Poles do not know whether Polish workers migrating within the European labour market can benefit from EU regulations that make it easier to receive a pension and retirement benefits, or whether the social insurance contribution periods for work performed abroad count when determining the right to receive Polish retirement benefits. The article presents good practices for disseminating knowledge about coordination in selected EU countries – Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as a basis for creating recommendations for Poland.
Карикатура и пропаганда: образ современной Украины в изображении пророссийских СМИ (2014–2018)
Authors: Khrushcheva Daria
Published: June 2022

The information policy of the official Russian and pro-Russian online media regarding the so-called Ukrainian crisis contributes to the formation of the image of a new “ideological enemy” in public consciousness. With the help of traditional techniques of political propaganda, persistent clichés, and vivid visual images, modern Russian cartoonists influence the emotional perception of the situation by the public and perpetuate new myths about Ukraine. This article examines how the formation and dissemination of the image of the “enemy” occurs through its representation in the genre of modern political caricature. Caricatures reflecting the attitude of Russian artists to the political and economic situation in the neighboring country, to the bilateral conflict, as well as to attempts to resolve it by influential world political actors are analyzed using examples of specific authors and the plots of their caricatures.
Интерсемиотический и прагмасемантический анализ цикла мемов „Дворец для Путина”
Authors: Sładkiewicz Żanna
Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the pragmatics and semiotics in the productive comic genre of digital communication – the political meme. The empirical material consists of actual internet heterogeneous texts, created after the publication of Alexei Navalny’s film “Palace for Putin”. The comic content is viewed as a way of defusing the public tension of the sanctioned protest, an instrument for interpreting and discussing current social reality, as well as a method of demonizing a political subject “them”. The research assumes multimodality of the media environment and its products. It considers verbal, iconic and metagraphic ways of realizing the pragmatic intentions of the participants in the communication process. The author examines the initial situation (proto situation) that caused a communicative reaction of the internet users in the form of memes, analyzes the essence of a political meme as a heterogeneous text. The article describes the structural organization of memes, the syntactic and semantic relations of the verbal and iconic parts, as well as the use of intertextuality to concisely and expressively transmit new meanings.
Черномырдинки и техника комического у Михаила Зощенко
Authors: Weigl Anna
Published: June 2022

This article considers the sphere of linguistic humour, specifically the linguistic structure of the so-called ‘chernomyrdinki’. Chernomyrdinki are written fixations of spontaneous oral statements by Viktor S. Chernomyrdin, a Soviet and post-Soviet statesman (1938–2010), which have become aphorisms. Chernomyrdinki are regularly reproduced and have not lost their popularity. Chernomyrdinki are, for the most part, Chernomyrdin’s spontaneous reactions to typical questions from journalists. The task of this study is to show that the not fully conscious, spontaneous statements by V. Chernomyrdin and the speech of Mikhail Zoshchenko’s heroes, deliberately constructed by the author in the course of the creative process, have much in common in their techniques of the comic and are at times identical. This study is based on the classification of “humour” in the speech of the heroes of M. Zoshchenko, developed by Mikhail Kreps.
„Вторая” жизнь советских комедий в интернет-мемах периода пандемии
Authors: Wilk Gabriela
Published: June 2022

Nowadays, it is hard to imagine internet culture without memes. To achieve a humorous effect, meme creators use various means, displaying unprecedented creativity. They often draw inspiration from cult Soviet comedies by Leonid Gaidai, Georgiy Daneliya, Vladimir Menshov, Eldar Ryazanov, Aleksandr Sery and other famous directors. This article is devoted to the analysis of iintertextual connections in Russian internet memes related to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The intertextual references can be in the form of a frame from a Soviet comedy, a movie catchphrase, or both at the same time. Catchphrases can be used in the analysed internet memes in their original version, or they can undergo various modifications, such as the replacement of some components and/or the extension of phrase composition. The fact of making use of a specific movie scene or catchphrase by meme creators proves that Soviet comedy is still deeply rooted in Russian culture. Soviet comedies begin to “live a new life” in internet memes.
Юмористический тон как маркер авторского взгляда в комедиях Надежды Птушкиной
Authors: Maliutina Natalia
Published: June 2022

The article considers comic humour as an emotional and semantic component of the statements in two comedies written by Nadezhda Ptushkina: Paying ahead and Come and takeaway, which can be attributed to popular mass literature. Distinguishing between the manifestations of situational and semantic comedy and humour the article shows how the humorous tone of the character’s remarks changes the overall genre tone of the comedy. Due to the idea of how much the personality does not fit into the narrow framework of the stereotypical perception of the situation of the husband’s withdrawal from the family, the article notes the dramatic and tragic modality of the statements in the plays. At the same time, in all situations and in all manifestations of the relationship between the characters, we feel the author’s view. The author is distinguished by the ability to understand and accept a different opinion to optimistically see the possibility of preserving the family and identity of each person in the process of collisions with other opinions. Despite the author’s rejection the play retains a belief in a certain general harmony of the human soul, which is especially vividly perceived thanks to allusions to Chekhov’s plays. Techniques contribute to the removal of the author’s view and the positions of the characters: dialogue of the deaf, distancing the author’s view and the character’s position, wordplay. All these techniques contribute to overcoming the farcical nature of the conflict and its dramatization.

On 10 March 2020, The Whistle-Giver 發哨子的人, an online report published by a Chinese state-run magazine, was deleted from WeChat and Weibo. Prior to its deletion, the report was translated, reposted, and widely circulated by Chinese netizens on Chinese social media. This ordinary (to the Western eye, at least) content sharing on social media was carried out in defiance of state censorship. The information contained in the report, which would have been erased were it not for the voluntary transmission of the message, is now part of the collective memory. This research article investigates the functions of unreadable signs in the transformation and diffusion of the original report as a tool of resistance to censorship. These signs ostensibly consist of scrambled codes as well as texts with concrete meanings. This article attempts to elucidate the interrelation between these unreadable signs, their mechanisms of action, and the particulars of this incident. These signs are the means by which the reposts circumvented censorship as they recorded, shaped, and revived memories of this incident. From the perspectives of linguistics, iconology, and rhetoric, the author argues that these signs resisted censorship by repackaging Dr Ai Fen’s individual memories, as contained in the original report. This collection of abstract images then came to constitute a collective memory. Ultimately this kind of activism means that not only the event itself, but also the whole process of transformation will eventually become inaccessible and will be of little help in future. This article aims to resolve the paradox that seems to arise when unreadable signs are intentionally used as a form of activism to resist censorship. Through this analysis, the author aims to provide greater insight into how the link between censorship and forgetting is severed. Finally, this article will demonstrate that translating and relaying, as a form of resistance and online activism, also carry an inherent risk of forgetting.

At present, most of the research in the field of medical-assisted diagnosis is carried out based on image or electronic medical records. Although there is some research foundation, they lack the comprehensive consideration of comprehensive image and text modes. Based on this situation, this article proposes a fusion classification auxiliary diagnosis model based on GoogleNet model and Bi-LSTM model, uses GoogleNet to process brain computed tomographic (CT) images of ischemic stroke patients and extract CT image features, uses Bi-LSTM model to extract the electronic medical record text, integrates the two features using the full connection layer network and Softmax classifier, and obtains a method that can assist the diagnosis from two modes. Experiments show that the proposed scheme on average improves 3.05% in accuracy compared to individual image or text modes, and the best performing GoogleNet + Bi-LSTM model achieves 96.61% accuracy; although slightly less in recall, it performs better on F1 values, and has provided feasible new ideas and new methods for research in the field of multi-model medical-assisted diagnosis.

Published: June 2022

Objectives

The growth and development of children is influenced not only by heredity factors but also by environmental factors, including nutrition and temperature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth and nutritional status of preschool children in Daxing’anling, the coldest region of China.

Methods

A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was performed among preschool children aged 3–6 years by stratified cluster sampling in Daxing’anling. The children’s parents completed the questionnaires. Height, body weight and head circumference were measured, and Z scores for weight for height, weight for age, height for age and head circumference for age were evaluated. Anthropometric data were compared with World Health Organization standards and China’s growth references. The levels of vitamin A, E and 25-(OH)-D3 in serum were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Results

A total of 305 children were recruited. The average height of the preschool children was lower than China’s growth reference but higher than the WHO standard. More than half of the preschool children ranged from −1 SD to +1 SD. Both the values of weight for height and of weight for age were positive and higher than the WHO standards (p<0.01), with a significant difference between boys and girls (p<0.01). The incidences of stunting, wasting, and underweight were 4.59%, 2.95%, and 2.30%, respectively, although the prevalence of overweight and obesity was high (18.03% and 6.89%, respectively). The rates of vitamin A and D deficiency were 7.54% and 88.85%, respectively. Vitamin A was also positively associated with 25-(OH)-D3.

Conclusions

The burden of malnutrition in preschool children exists in cold regions, and a cold climate may be an important factor. Therefore, we should pay attention to the nutrition and physical growth of local preschool children; in particular, vitamin D deficiency should be given high priority, and necessary nutritional interventions should be made.
The response to growth hormone treatment in a child with short stature, growth hormone deficiency and autosomal dominant cutis laxa type 3 – case report
Authors: Iancu Mirela E. , Albu Alice I. , Albu Dragoș N.
Published: June 2022

Objectives

The aetiology of short stature in cutis laxa (CL) syndromes is largely unknown. Herein, we report a case with autosomal dominant CL type 3 (ADCL3) with severe short stature and growth hormone (GH) deficiency.

Case presentation

A male patient with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of ADCL3 was referred for endocrinological evaluation of short stature at the age of 3.4 years. The examination revealed severe proportional short stature (−4.14 standard deviations (SD) score for height) in a patient born small for gestational age (birth weight 2080 g, −2.46 SD, birth length 41 cm, −4.22 SD). Assessment of GH reserve with two clonidine stimulation tests (0.15 mg/m2) with peak GH values of 8.07 ng/mL and 2.98 ng/mL, respectively, were indicative of GH deficiency. Also, the MRI examination revealed a small size pituitary. Thus, the treatment with somatropin was started. The height deficit significantly improved (from −4.14 SD to −1.48 SD) without side effects during the follow-up of 4.5 years.

Conclusions

With this report, the GH deficiency as a possible cause of short stature in ADCL3 and the response to somatropin administration were reported for the first time in the literature.
Die Potsdamer Garnisonkirche
Authors: Oswalt Philipp
Published: June 2022

Das Projekt, die Garnisonkirche in Potsdam wiederaufzubauen, geht auf die Initiative des Bun-deswehroffiziers Max Klaar und der Traditionsgemeinschaft Potsdamer Glockenspiel zu¬rück, die der Stadt Potsdam 1991 einen Nachbau des Glockenspiels der Kirche schenkte und dann erfolgreich für die Wiederaufbauidee warb. Nach anfänglicher Ablehnung wandte sich die evangelische Kirche dem Projekt im Jahr 2000 zu. Innerkirchlichem Protest zum Trotz entschied man sich bald mit Rücksicht auf mögliche Spender für eine äußerlich weitgehend originalgetreue und bruchlose Rekonstruktion. 2017 erfolgte die Grundsteinlegung für den Nachbau des Kirchturms. Das Projekt wird inzwischen überwiegend aus Bundesmitteln finanziert und spaltet bis heute die Potsdamer Stadtgesellschaft.
„Dem deutschen Widerstand“
Authors: Smolarski René
Published: June 2022

Die Herausgabe von Briefmarken ist ein langwieriger und von vielen Interessen geleiteter Prozess. Trotz ihres Quellenwerts für die Alltags- und Mentalitätsgeschichte und als Barometer des Sagbaren, ist die Beschäftigung mit philatelistischen Quellen nach wie vor primär ein Feld der außeruniversitären Forschung. Die Vielschichtigkeit und politische Relevanz der Briefmarkenemission soll in diesem Beitrag anhand des Entstehungsprozesses der Gedenkausgabe zum 20. Jahrestag des Attentats auf Adolf Hitler am 20. Juli 1944 aufgezeigt werden. Die Betrachtung dieser Gedenkausgabe erscheint daher besonders relevant, weil dieser Jahrestag Veränderungen im bundesdeutschen Widerstandsgedenken zeigt, wie auch an den Auseinandersetzungen um die Briefmarken-Gedenkausgabe deutlich wird.
Only Rock’n’Roll?
Authors: Becker Tobias
Published: June 2022

Rock’n’Roll erscheint traditionell oft rebellisch, subversiv und progressiv konnotiert. Solche Zuschreibungen ignorieren jedoch nicht nur Subgenres wie den Rechtsrock, sondern auch die Kritik, die dem Mainstream-Rock schon seit seinen Anfängen vorwarf, den gesellschaftlichen Status quo eher abzubilden und zu stützten als in Frage zu stellen. Rock’n’Roll also ein konservatives Genre? Was können Begriffe wie konservativ und progressiv überhaupt bedeuten, wenn es um Popkultur, Musik und speziell um Rock’n’Roll geht? Woran machen sich solche Zuschreibungen fest? Diesen Fragen geht der Aufsatz entlang einer gerafften Geschichte des Rock von den 1950er bis zu den 1980er Jahren in transnationaler Perspektive nach. Sofern der Rock überhaupt rebellisch ist, so zeigt der Beitrag, kann er sich gegen eine als konservativ wahrgenommene Mainstream-Kultur ebenso richten wie gegen eine als progressiv perzipierte.
Narrativa e legitimidade na Restauração de Portugal: primeiras ações no âmbito da literatura justificativa (1641-1644)
Authors: RIBEIRO Eduardo H.
Published: June 2022

The present article explores the early steps taken toward the international legitimization of King Joao IV of Portugal by means of books and printed leaflets, outlining the context in which each work was published and the main arguments made by each author. Such writings were fundamental to publicizing the official version of the restoration movement abroad, which was until then only known of in Portugal. Dedicated to this task were the “republics”, formed by men from a wide variety of social backgrounds and professions whose primary concern was to promote the things of the res publica. During the campaign, the republics were challenged by Castilian Juan Caramuel Lobkowitz, who wrote a response to the Kingdom of Portugal’s manifesto, prompting a further response from various Portuguese authors. The result was to spark a controversy that involved various European countries and lasted for years.
BEING A PATIENT IN POLAND: IN THE OPINIONS OF PATIENTS’ AGENTS AND IN THE PROCEDURES OF THE PATIENTS’ OMBUDSMAN
Authors: Piasecka-Robak Agnieszka
Published: June 2022

The article presents the situation of patients in Poland, based on existing data (non reactive research), and individual interviews with Patients’ Agents in the given clinic or hospital and Patient’s Ombudsmen. It presents doctor-patient relationships in the daily routine of a health centre in the context of Polish law and procedures, and highlights the role of the Patients’ Ombudsmen in creating a patient-friendly environment. Due to the large number of hospitalisations, whose duration is continually shortened because of financial limitations, ensuring the patient’s well-being is becoming increasingly difficult.
