Authors: Abduljabbar H.S.O. , Abduljabar H.
Published: October 2020

Introduction: The percentage of Symptomatic pregnant and non-pregnant women infected with Covid 19 is the same. The common symptoms in pregnant women are cough, fever, sore throat and myalgia. The objective of this is systematic review and meta-analysis of the commonly reported symptoms of COVID 19 in pregnancy and to compare it to non-pregnant. Methods: Study Design; Systematic review and meta-analysis of published retrospective studies. Searches conducted from December 2019 - April 2020 on PubMed. Medline, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science Electronic database used to collect data, corresponding to the (PRISMA) Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-Analysis, using the following search terms: keywords "coronavirus, COVID-19, pregnancy". Results: Figure 1 presents the study flow diagram. We identify 114 records through database searching, sixteen further studies recognized through other sources, and 98 papers isolated after duplicates, leaving 32 reports. After screening for titles and abstracts, we found only 27 reports to be potentially suitable and rescued these reports in full text. We excluded seven studies; 20 did not report symptoms of groups of interest. In the process of Screening, 16 were screened. Ten of full-text articles assessed for appropriateness, six full-text articles omitted with reasons, and only Four studies [12-15] were included in the review. Conclusion: The only symptoms that are more common in pregnant than non-pregnant are the sore throat. That concluded that when pregnant women start to have sore throat care should be taken to exclude COVID-19 infection.

Authors: Wu Y.J. , Yu C.J. , Tian W.H. , Xu Z.
Published: October 2020

The objective of this study was to report two cases of hereditary chromosomal duplications with favorable outcomes. In both cases, conventional karyotyping showed a normal karyotype. However, chromosomal microarray analysis on uncultured amniocytes detected a 3.2 Mb duplication in the region of arr[hg19] 13q12.11q12.12(22,073,046-25,230,759)×3 in case 1 and a 3.1 Mb duplication in the region of arr[hg19] 6q12(65,423,142-68,550,465)×3 in case 2. In both cases, the chromosomal duplication was inherited from a mother who has no symptoms. Both cases resulted in phenotypically normal babies.

Published: October 2020

Aim: To determine whether prenatal depression during late pregnancy affect maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods: The clinical data of 595 pregnant patients in our hospital during January 2016 to December 2017 were studied. These participants were assigned into three groups as mild-to-moderate depression group, severe depression group and non-depression group according to the Edinburgh postnatal depressive scale (EPDS). Results: Compared with the women without depression or with mild-to-moderate depression, pregnant patients with severe depression were likely to suffer from preterm birth (p < 0.05). There was no association between the mild-to-moderate depression, severe depression group and the non-depression group about neonatal outcomes (all p > 0.05). Conclusion: Severe prenatal depression during late pregnancy is significantly associated with increased risk of preterm birth, while mild-to-moderate prenatal depression would not affect maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Role of Mass Media as Changing Agent in Behavioral Change amid Coronavirus Crisis: A Study on Bangladesh Perspective
Authors: Aman Hasib Shah , Jahan Nusrat
Published: October 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the biggest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. In an
overpopulated country like Bangladesh, it is even tougher to fight the situation. The government
and different stakeholders are relentlessly encouraging people to maintain the necessary health
care measures where the mass media is playing the supporting role. The research examines how
mass media has been influencing in the behavioral change during this pandemic and played the
role of "changing agent". The research is designed on mixed method, including content analysis
and survey. This study analyses 191 health awareness-based news from three different print
newspapers and two television channels' prime hour bulletins within the timeline of 1st March to
31st March. Also, a survey questionnaire was set with close-ended questions to accumulate
people's feedback. Using the "The Behaviorism Theory", this study explains, how all behaviors
are acquired through conditioning. Throughout this theoretical lens, this research finds out how
media worked as an external stimulus in changing people's behavior pattern. The findings suggest
that media had positive impact over its audience which inspired people to practice safety
measurements in such crisis.

Vote with Your Rabbi: The Electoral Effects of Religious Institutions in Israel
Authors: Freedman Michael Raphael
Published: October 2020

How do religious parties mobilize local support and what impact does different political strategies have on neighborhoods? Previous literature focuses on the social welfare benefits distributed by religious parties. In this paper, I analyze how religious political parties in Israel generate grassroots support among voters by allying with Jewish religious institutions. Using original data, I examine the association between the timing of entry of religious institutions into neighborhoods and local voting patterns for Israeli national elections. I find that religious institutions are associated with a 4-percentage point increase in the local vote share for religious parties, where this effect is larger for religious institutions with connections to political parties. My results suggest that the primary mechanism driving these results are that these institutions influence the vote choice of existing residents by distributing tangible goods. In contrast, changes to the composition of the neighborhood through in-migration has a more limited effect on voting patterns. These findings highlight the impact of religious institutions on the social and political fabric of local communities.
Action predictability is reflected in beta power attenuation and predictive eye movements in adolescents with and without autism
Authors: Ward Emma Kate , Braukmann Ricarda , Weiland Ricarda Florine , Bekkering Harold , Buitelaar Jan , Hunnius Sabine
Published: October 2020

Most theoretical accounts of autism posit difficulties in predicting others’ actions, and this difficulty has been proposed to be at the root of autistic individuals’ social communication differences. Empirical results are mixed, however, with autistic individuals showing reduced action prediction in some studies but not in others. It has recently been proposed that this effect might be observed primarily when observed actions are less predictable, but this idea has yet to be tested. To assess the influence of predictability on neural and behavioural action prediction, the current study employed an action observation paradigm with multi-step actions that become gradually more predictable. Autistic and non-autistic adolescents showed similar patterns of motor system activation during observation, as seen in attenuated mu and beta power compared to baseline, with beta power further modulated by predictability in both groups. Bayesian statistics confirmed that action predictability influenced beta power similarly in both groups. The groups also made similar behavioural predictions, as seen in three eye-movement measures. We found no evidence that autistic adolescents responded differently than non-autistic adolescents to the predictability of an observed action. These findings show that autistic adolescents do spontaneously predict others’ actions, both neurally and behaviourally, which calls into question the role of action prediction as a key mechanism underlying autism.
Thermal performance and design parameters investigation of a novel cavity receiver unit for parabolic trough concentrator
Authors: Mohamad Khaled
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we discuss an improved concept for a cavity receiver unit for Solar Parabolic Trough Collectors (PTC) with the application of hot mirror coating (HMC) on a cavity aperture. This design aims to lessen radiant energy losses while operating at higher temperatures by incorporating a variety of optically active layers. We present the theoretical background, which we derived in previous work, and the resulting implementation in a simulation code. We next discuss the layout and results of an experiment, which allowed us to make contact with the simulation with minor adjustments It was seen that the correspondence between the experiment and simulation results was encouragingly close (Chi-squared p > 0.8 and p > 0.95), and we proceeded to investigate simulations of different receiver designs. Simulated outcomes for the temperature of the heat transfer fluid, temperature maps, and efficiencies are presented. Our proposal indicates temperature-related benefits when compared to other popular designs in terms of the heat transfer fluid temperature and efficiency.
Integrating Cybernetic Big Five Theory with the Free Energy Principle: A new strategy for modeling personalities as complex systems
Authors: Safron Adam , DeYoung Colin G.
Published: October 2020

Cybernetics is the study of goal-directed systems that self-regulate via feedback, a category that includes human beings. Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T) attempts to explain personality in cybernetic terms, conceptualizing personality traits as manifestations of variation in parameters of the neural mechanisms that evolved to facilitate cybernetic control. The Free Energy Principle and Active Inference framework (FEP-AI) is an overarching approach for understanding how it is that complex systems manage to persist in a world governed by the second law of thermodynamics—the inevitable tendency toward entropy. Although these two cybernetic theories were developed independently, they overlap in their theoretical foundations and implications and are complementary in their approaches to understanding persons. FEP-AI contributes a potentially valuable formal modeling framework for CB5T, while CB5T provides detail about the science and structure of personality. In this chapter we explore how CB5T and FEP-AI may begin to be integrated into a unified approach to modeling persons.
Adjusting for Publication Bias in JASP & R - Selection Models, PET-PEESE, and Robust Bayesian Meta-Analysis
Authors: Bartoš František , Maier Maximilian , Quintana Daniel S , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: October 2020

Meta-analyses are essential for cumulative science, but their validity can be compromised by publication bias. In order to mitigate the impact of publication bias, one may apply publication bias adjustment techniques such as PET-PEESE and selection models. Implemented in JASP & R, these methods allow researchers without programming experience to conduct state-of-the-art publication bias adjusted meta-analysis. In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to conduct a publication bias adjusted meta-analysis in JASP & R and interpret the results. First, we explain two frequentist bias correction methods: PET-PEESE and selection models. Second, we introduce robust Bayesian meta-analysis (RoBMA), a Bayesian approach that simultaneously considers both PET-PEESE and selection models. We illustrate the methodology on an example data set, provide instructional video (https://bit.ly/pubbias), R-markdown script (https://osf.io/uhaew/), and discuss the interpretation of the results. Finally, we include concrete guidance on reporting the meta-analytic results in an academic article.
Acceptance of Highly Automated Vehicles: A Factor Analysis Approach
Authors: Nees Michael , Zhang Jiewei
Published: October 2020

Potential theoretical sub-dimensions of acceptance of highly automated vehicles remain unclear. A study investigated the sub-factors of a scale to measure acceptance of high levels of automation in vehicles. An online sample of participants completed an expanded, 50-item version of the Self-driving Car Acceptance Scale (SCAS; Nees, 2016). Exploratory factor analysis revealed eight sub-dimensions of acceptance: (1) general acceptance of high automation (including intention to use); (2) general concerns over high automation; (3) perceived benefits for people unable to drive; (4) ease of use concerns; (5) enjoyment of/preference for manual driving; (6) desire to be able to take back manual control; (7) social status and desirability; and (8) perceived technological-savvy. Correlations among factors suggested that general acceptance was positively related to perceived benefits for people unable to drive, perceived enhancement of social status, and perceived technology savvy. General acceptance was correlated with general concerns, ease of use concerns, enjoyment of/preference for manual driving, and the desire to be able to retake manual control. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
Situated embodiment: When physical weight does and does not inform judgments of importance
Authors: Hauser David , Schwarz Norbert
Published: October 2020

Bodily sensations impact metaphorically related judgments. Are such effects obligatory or do they follow the logic of knowledge accessibility? If the latter, the impact of sensory information should be moderated by the accessibility of the related metaphor at the time of sensory experience. We manipulated whether “importance” was on participants’ minds when they held a physically heavy vs. light book. Participants held the book while making an importance judgment vs. returned it before making the judgment (Study 1) or learned prior to holding the book that the study was about “importance evaluations” vs. “graphics evaluations” (Study 2). In both studies, the same book was judged more important when its heft was increased, but only when importance was on participants’ minds at the time of sensory experience. We conclude that sensory experiences only impact metaphorically-related judgments when the applicable metaphor is highly accessible at the time of experience.
Home practice in Mindfulness for Psychosis groups: A systematic review and qualitative study
Authors: Jacobsen Pamela Charlotte , Choksi Twinkle , Sawyer Katherine , Maximen Cassia , Harding Emma , Richardson Matthew
Published: October 2020

Objectives: Regular home practice is considered a core component of mindfulness groups and may be associated with better treatment outcomes. This study aimed to 1) review the existing evidence on how much home practice people do in Mindfulness for Psychosis groups, and 2) explore participants’ experiences of the barriers and facilitators to completing home practice in a Mindfulness for Psychosis group using a qualitative study.Methods: In study 1, we conducted a systematic review of Mindfulness for Psychosis studies and extracted data on home practice rates. In study 2, we conducted semi-structured interviews with people who had completed a Mindfulness for Psychosis group (N=5) as part of their routine community care, specifically focusing on experiences of home practice.Results: Out of twenty-two studies included in the systematic review, only 4 reported any data on amount of home practice, and none examined the relationship between completion of home practice and treatment outcomes. In the qualitative study, participants described home practice as being difficult but important. Arising themes were similar to findings from previous (non-psychosis) studies suggesting that generic challenges are common, rather than being specific to psychosis.Conclusions: We recommend that future Mindfulness for Psychosis studies record data on home practice rates, in order to investigate any association between home practice and treatment outcome. Our qualitative findings suggest home practice can be a valued part of a Mindfulness for Psychosis group, and a normalising approach could be taken when and if participants encounter common challenges.
The unexpected effect of interruptions on garden-path problems
Authors: Sloane Jennifer , Newell Ben R , Donkin Chris
Published: October 2020

Interruptions are a regular part of daily life. As such, most people have many rules-of-thumbs they can use to deal with the consequences of such disruption. Here, we highlight a type of environment in which the typical approaches for dealing with interruptions could fail. We focus on "garden-path problems", where the features of a decision environment cause people to apply solutions that, while applicable in other situations, are presently inappropriate. Combining results from three experiments, we show that interruptions cause people to make more errors when solving such problems, while being unaware that the interruption affected their performance. We explain why this particular effect of interruptions is specific to garden-path problems, and is not simply because interruptions cause time pressure. Finally we suggest how people might adapt the ways in which they currently treat interruptions so as to minimize their detrimental effects on garden-path problems.

Learned but Not Chosen: A Reward Competition Feedback Model for the Origins of Sexual Preferences and Orientations
Authors: Safron Adam , Klimaj Victoria
Published: October 2020

Is sexual orientation an evolutionary adaptation or social construct? With respect to sexual preferences, to what extent are we “born that way” and to what extent does learning matter? This chapter discusses how nature and nurture may interact to shape sexual motivation by reviewing existing literature on sexual preferences and orientations, as well as by considering sex/gender differences in erotic plasticity, sexual fluidity, and the specificity of sexual arousal. We describe how these phenomena might be accounted for by processes in which mind body feedback loops amplify some sexual responses over others on multiple levels, which we refer to as the Reward Competition Feedback (RCF) model. With respect to sex/gender differences, we describe how these positive feedback processes might be amplified in men compared with women, potentially substantially driven by differences in the constraints and affordances of female and male anatomy. More specifically, we argue that the well-known female-male difference in the concordance of genital and subjective arousal may contribute to well-known differences in sexual specificity and plasticity/fluidity. We further provide convergent support for RCF by reviewing preexisting theories of sexual learning. Finally, we consider some of the ethical implications of models in which sexual orientation might be shaped by experiences over the course of development.

The legal protection of such technologies through traditional legal mechanisms is inadequate. Therefore, in the context of global changes in law, the problems of legal regulation and legal protection of RnD-technologies require deep doctrinal understanding.
CHIPKO: BREAKING AN ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT IN INDIA
Authors:   INION RAN, Mikhel Irina
Published: October 2020

The article examines the formation of the Chipko environmental movement, whose activity in 1980 led to the suspension of long-term deforestation in northern India. The historical connection of Chipko with the campaigns of forest satyagraha, which were widespread in northern India during the struggle for independence, is examined. It is shown what role such Gandhian leaders as Mira Behn and Sarala Behn played in transforming the goals of satyagraha. Attention is drawn to the role of such a women's organization as Sarvodaya Mandal, which has become Chipko's organizational basis. The important organizational and philosophical role of such an environmental movement leader as Sunderlal Bahuguna, who became Chipko's true soul, is shown. The role of Vandana Shiva, which is not only a researcher of the Chipko movement, but is also a leading environmental theorist and practitioner of modern India, is examined.

Experiment v antropológii
Authors: Bahna Vladimír
Published: October 2020

Kapitola Vladimíra Bahnu Experiment v antropológii vysvetľuje základy experimentálneho výskumu a možné prínosy ich využitia v antropológii a príbuzných disciplínach. Hoci experiment patrí k základným nástrojom vedeckej metódy, v antropológii bol a stále je využívaný len okrajovo. V posledných desiatich rokov však dochádza k čoraz častejšiemu využívaniu experimentov aj v antropológii. Deje sa tak predovšetkým v oblastiach interdisciplinárneho prekrývaniu sa s psychológiou, kognitívnou vedou, humánnou ekológiou či experimentálnou ekonómiou – teda s disciplínami, ktoré majú experiment v štandardnej výbave. Hoci je experimentálny výskum postavený na deduktívnom prístupe a testovaní hypotéz, súčasná snaha o jeho využitie v sociálnych a humanitných disciplínach nie je o metodologickej konfrontácii a súperení kvantitatívnych a naturalistických prístupov a intepretatívnych a kvalitatívnych disciplín, ale naopak, o vzájomnej integrácii interpretatívnych, exploratívnych a explanatívnych prístupov, kvalitatívnych a kvantitatívnych metód. Nevyhnutnou súčasťou takéhoto prepojenia je pochopenie nedostatkov a obmedzení v jednotlivých prístupoch a nutnosti použitia interdisciplinárnej integrácie pri ich odstraňovaní. Kapitola je venovaná antropológom, etnológom a iným sociálnym vedcom, ktorí nemajú doposiaľ širšie skúsenosti s experimentami. Je preto do veľkej miery koncipovaná aj ako úvod do logiky experimentálneho výskumu a prehľad základných možností, ktoré tento druh výskumu prináša. Kapitola uvádza základné princípy experimentálneho dizajnu a objasňuje a ch využitie v antropológii.

Long versus Short Segment Instrumentation in Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Vertebral Fracture
Authors: Girardo Massimo , Massè Alessandro , Risitano Salvatore , Fusini Federico
Published: October 2020

Study DesignRetrospective comparative study.PurposeThis study aimed to compare clinical and radiological data and rate of mechanical complications in elderly patients treated with short segment (SSS) or long segment stabilization (LSS) for thoracolumbar junction osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs).Overview of LiteratureA fervent debate is now focused on the treatment of OVF using SSS or LSS. High rate of complications is associated with pedicle screw fixation because of poor bone quality.MethodsPatients over 65 years old with a T-score of <−2.5, affected by (T10–L2) vertebral fracture treated with LSS or SSS pedicle screw fixation, with at least 24 months of follow-up were evaluated. All patients were analyzed with conventional X-ray to evaluate bisegmental kyphotic angle (BKA) and clinically with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and rate of mechanical complications at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months. Data were expressed as mean±standard deviation. Student t-test was used to compare clinical scores between populations. Mann-Whitney U-test was used to analyze clinical and radiological variable, whereas Fisher’s exact test was used to identify differences in the rate of complications between groups.ResultsA total of 37 patients met the inclusion criteria. Mean follow-up was 33.97±9.26 months. For both groups, ODI and VAS significantly decreased over time with good results (p<0.00001). At the final follow-up, no significant differences were found in terms of ODI and VAS. There was no difference in correction of BKA between groups; however, a significant difference was found in LSS group between pre- and postoperative BKA (p=0.046), whereas no difference was found in SSS group. A significant difference in the rate of mechanical complications was found between groups (p=0.011).ConclusionsBoth treatments showed good clinical and radiological results; however, LSS group showed better BKA correction and lower mechanical complications than SSS group.
L’adoption de comportements responsables grâce aux nudges
Authors: Bataoui Soffien , Gerard Jessica
Published: October 2020

Ces dernières années, l’emploi des nudges (ou « coup de pouce ») par les organisations s’est largement démocratisé. L’objectif est d’inciter les individus à adopter, en douceur, un comportement spécifique. Les effets des nudges semblent ouvrir d’encourageantes perspectives tant dans le domaine social qu’environnemental. Les travaux sur le sujet portent principalement sur les aspects bénéfiques des nudges. Une étude in situ mobilisant un nudge permettant de réduire le nombre de mégots jetés au sol est menée. La présente recherche tend à montrer que les effets de ces derniers ne sont pas forcément positifs. Plus spécifiquement, certains individus ressentent une forme de manipulation et le comportement attendu n’est pas au rendez-vous.

In learning stage there are preliminary, core and closing stages. In the preliminary stage contains information about Core Competencies (KI) and Basic Competencies (KD) that will be discussed, motivating students, apperception, etc. The core activity stage is the stage of making students understand the material in various ways and various media. The closing stage is to provide an evaluation, exercise, or test. This research focuses on the closing stage, which using Kahoot in the evaluation stage. Because not all French teachers know about Kahoot, this Kahoot implementation training becomes needed. The results are Kahoot documents made by French vocational schoolteachers. Kahoot is made according to their needs. There are 8 Kahoot documents with various KI and KD.

Problems and Prospects for the Development of Doctoral Education in Russia: The View of Regional Universities
Authors: Terentev E. A. , Bednyi B. I.
Published: October 2020

The concentration of state resources in the leading universities poses the problem of reproduction of the scientific and pedagogical personnel in regional universities that do not participate in state-funded academic excellence programs. Based on the data from three focus group interviews with heads of doctoral studies offices at regional universities, the article analyzes problems arising in the implementation of the current model of training and certification of doctoral students. Four following groups of problems are identified: 1) the rigidity of requirements for the structure and content of the educational programs, 2) the imperfection of the system of attestation, gaps between attestation activities, 3) the problem of “retention” of doctoral students after the completion of the educational program, 4) the problems of conjugation of the processes of preparing a dissertation and its defense. The authors discuss possible ways to overcome the identified problems through providing universities with greater autonomy in designing the structure and content of the educational programs; synchronization of the procedures of the final state attestation and dissertation defense; creation of mechanisms for supporting successful doctoral graduates at the final stage of their preparation for the defense of a dissertation; development of network forms for implementation of doctoral programs with leading universities and research institutes.
A hybrid GPFA-EEMD_Fuzzy threshold method for ECG signal de-noising
Authors: Thakran Snekha
Published: October 2020

The Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal records the electrical activity of the heart. It is very difficult for physicians to analyze the ECG signal if noise is embedded during acquisition to inspect the heart’s condition. The denoising of electrocardiogram signals based on the genetic particle filter algorithm(GPFA) using fuzzy thresholding and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is proposed in this paper, which efficiently removes noise from the ECG signal. This paper proposes a two-phase scheme for eliminating noise from the ECG signal. In the first phase, the noisy signal is decomposed into a true intrinsic mode function (IMFs) with the help of EEMD. EEMD is better than EMD because it removes the mode-mixing effect. In the second phase, IMFs which are corrupted by noise is obtained by using spectral flatness of each IMF and fuzzy thresholding. The corrupted IMFs are filtered using a GPF method to remove the noise. Then, the signal is reconstructed with the processed IMFs to get the de-noised ECG. The proposed algorithm is analyzed for a different local hospital database, and it gives better root mean square error and signal to noise ratio than other existing techniques (Wavelet transform (WT), EMD, Particle filter(PF) based method, extreme-point symmetric mode decomposition with Nonlocal Means(ESMD-NLM), and discrete wavelet with Savitzky-Golay(DW-SG) filter).

Internet is one of the most influential new communication technologies has influenced all aspects of human life. Extensive use of the Internet and the rapid growth of network services have increased network traffic and ultimately a slowdown in internet speeds around the world. Such traffic causes reduced network bandwidth, server response latency, and increased access time to web documents. Cache memory is used to improve CPU performance and reduce response time. Due to the cost and limited size of cache compared to other devices that store information, an alternative policy is used to select and extract a page to make space for new pages when the cache is filled. Many algorithms have been introduced which performance depends on a high-speed web cache, but it is not well optimized. The general feature of most of them is that they are developed from the famous LRU and LFU designs and take advantage of both designs. In this research, a page replacement algorithm called FCPRA (Fuzzy Clustering based Page Replacement Algorithm) is presented, which is based on four features. When the cache space can’t respond to a request for a new page, it selects a page of the lowest priority cluster and the largest login order; then, removes it from the cache memory. The results show that FCPRA has a better hit rate with different data sets and can improve the cache memory performance compared to other algorithms.

Published: October 2020

Two coordination polymers named [Co(tib)(H2O)3]· ipa·2H2O (1, H2ipa = iso-phthalic acid) and [Cu3(tib)2(BTB)2]·DMF·2H2O (2, H3BTB = 4,4′,4′′-gbenzene-1,3,5-triyl-tribenzoic acid, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) were constructed using a solvothermal method by reaction of metal salts with the 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (tib) ligands and different carboxylate linkers as the co-ligands. The two complexes have been characterized by X-ray diffraction as well as the elemental analyses. Subsequently, the protective effect of compounds 1 and 2 on the acute lung injury and its related mechanism was explored. Firstly, the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the release of the inflammatory cytokines. Then, the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was measured with blood gas analysis.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a heterogenous neurological disorder primarily associated with progressive spasticity. Paraplegin is a mitochondrial protein and mutations in this protein can lead to HSP. In this study, in silico analysis was carried out to identify the pathogenic variants of SPG7 (paraplegin protein). To find novel pathogenic mutations, missense and splicing variants were collected from gnomAD database and passed through a detailed and stringent analysis with the help of a variety of bioinformatic tools. The list of mutations was examined and compared in ClinVar. Altogether, 14 missense mutations and 18 splicing mutations were obtained and these mutations were predicted to have the potential of disrupting the normal structural and functional properties of paraplegin protein.
