Voice
Authors: McArdle Alanna
Published: March 2020

Voice is an extract from a longer text that comprises five parts of poetry, lyric essays, and prose-poetry. The text uses the lyric ‘I’ and considers the radical possibilities of its application in the interrogation of trauma and selfhood, and the conflict between self-definition and medical/institutional definition.Voice blurs and interrogates the generic and formal distinctions of poetry and life writing to pose questions of how writer and speaker interconnect, and to explode arbitrary literary conventions which themselves limit and oppress in their rigidity of definition. Voice is both narrative and lyrical, tracking part of my experience as a person with Bipolar Disorder inside and outside of medical institutions.The text explores the possibility of recalibrating or reclaiming the oppressive syntax of medicine, and asks how the self is transformed through not just the experience of illness, but also illness’s subsequent side effect of institutionalisation, and the intersections of other “othered” and marginalised identities and experiences within this discursive categorisation.Voice draws on and re-appropriates the derisive and misogynistic label of “confessional writing” and confronts the historical nexus of discriminations that has led to what psychiatrist and author Phyllis Chesler calls “the female career as psychiatric patient.”

Living with stable angina: patients’ pathway and needs in angina
Authors: Spoletini Ilaria , Ferrari Roberto , Rosano Giuseppe M.C.
Published: March 2020

Aims

There is evidence that stable angina patients may suffer from emotional disorders that further impair their quality of life. However, the emotional experience of living with stable angina from the patient's perspective still has to be explored. Thus, the main aim of this study was to explore patients’ emotional experience of having stable angina and their reported needs during the pathway from the first symptoms, through the process of diagnosis, to management and related lifestyle changes.

Methods

A survey was conducted in 75 chronic ischemic heart disease patients with angina (Brazil, China, Romania, Russia, and Turkey) using a 75-min, face-to-face in-depth interview.

Results and Conclusion

Patients’ responses highlighted the need to increase individuals’ awareness on the first signs and symptoms of the disease. The survey also showed that chronic stable angina patients need constant emotional support to overcome stress, anxiety, and depression. Finally, this study suggests the need to offer greater space for dialogue with healthcare professionals to get more comprehensive and ‘patient-friendly’ information.

Integration Practices in Migration Management: Experience of Some European Union Countries
Authors: Persidskaya Olga A.
Published: March 2020

The paper considers institutional mechanisms and substantive approaches to managing the processes of migrant integration into the host community. The analysis is carried out in the framework of studying practical models for regulating the transformation of polyethnic communities and uses data from several countries in the European Union. It is shown that the models of practical regulation of integration processes are based on the understanding of integration as a two-way process and are primarily expressed in changes in social institutions and relations between them. Thus, at the supranational level a combination of directive and recommendatory forms of influence on integration policies is significant, at the national level – the principles of individual and inclusive approaches within the framework of the introduction of a set of regulatory policies of the “mainstream”, at the local level – integration initiatives of the municipal level and interaction with the non-governmental sector. Of special note is the significant role of monitoring integration processes and integration policies. It has been noted that integration practices in Russia are based on understanding integration as a one-sided process and contribute to the realization of its cultural function, while in the EU countries – to its structural and social functions. The paper offers the conclusion about the possibility of applying some of the considered mechanisms and approaches in strategies for managing and regulating migration processes in the Russian Federation.
To the Computation of Equilibrium States of Hydrocarbon Combustion Products under the Lack of Oxygen
Authors: Prokhorov E. S.
Published: March 2020

In this paper, we propose a unified approach to the computation of equilibrium states of hydrocarbon combustion products under the lack of oxygen when both gaseous and condensed carbon phases can appear simultaneously among the components of chemical reaction. One of the principles forming the basis of the approach is that the particles of a condensed substance are “large molecules” consisting of a great number of normal molecules. To illustrate the feasibility of the formulated approach, the problem of explosion of reacting gas mixture in a volume has been numerically solved. The computations have been performed for oxy-acetylene and air-acetylene mixtures.

The digital economy is an economic activity, the key factor of which are digital data, automatic processing and use of analysis results that make it possible to improve significantly the quality and productivity of labor in comparison with traditional forms of management. Transformational digital processes affect the infrastructural foundations, associated with new communication mechanisms, trading platforms, electronic payments and document management. The most tangible results of digitalization in the industrial market, where there are factors restricting the development of digitalization, which leads to the lack of development of a digital business paradigm, that provokes the destabilization of existing and established relationships of real processes. Currently, there is a radical shift in the production paradigm towards automation, the introduction of information and computing systems that allow us replace human labor with a program, which is especially noticeable in the activities of the accounting, personnel, planning department at the enterprise. However, the issues of security, protectability, stability, continuity, integrity and reliability of operations and work with information are of particular importance, which makes high demands on the digital shell of the enterprise.

Published: March 2020

The propensity of 5-formyluracil and 5-formylcytosine, i.e. oxidative lesions and epigenetic intermediates, in acting as intrinsic DNA photosensitizers is unraveled by using a combination of molecular modeling, simulation and spectroscopy. Exploration of potential energy surfaces and non-adiabatic dynamics confirm a higher intersystem crossing rate for 5-formyluracil, whereas the kinetic models evidence different equilibria in the excited states for both compounds

Authors: Баширов Д.А. , Колыбалов Д.С. , Сухих Т.С. , Конченко С.Н.
Published: March 2020

The [Dy(DippForm)2Cl(THF)] (1a) and [Tb(DippForm)2Cl(THF)2] (1b) complexes are syn­thesized using salt metathesis reactions between lanthanide chlorides and K(DippForm) (DippForm = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)formamidinate). In contrast to K(DippForm), a reaction of its less sterically demanding analogue K(MesForm) (MesForm = N,N'-bis(me­sityl)formamidinate) with LnCl3 at any ratio of the reagents leads to the formation of the ho­moligand [Ln(MesForm)3] (Ln = Dy (2a), Tb (2b)) complexes. The [Ln(MesForm)2Cl(THF)] compounds are not isolated. Compounds 1a and 1b are successfully used as starting reagents for the preparation of new thiophenolate complexes [Ln(DippForm)2(SPh)(THF)] (Ln = Dy (3a), Tb (3b)). Crystal structures of compounds 1—3 are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Photoluminescent properties of the complexes obtained are studied. The analysis of the spectra of both DippForm– and SPh– ligands shows an antenna effect for both Dy(III) and Tb(III). However, MesForm– acts as an efficient antenna for Tb(III) rather than Dy(III).

El silicio (Si) tiene efectos benéficos sobre la tolerancia de las plantas a diversos estreses bióticos y abióticos. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto de la nutrición con Si en tomate cultivado bajo condiciones de estrés salino inducido (S), sobre la temperatura de las hojas, la fluorescencia de la clorofila y la conductancia estomática (gs). El experimento se realizó bajo condiciones de invernadero durante el ciclo primavera-verano de 2017. Se utilizó un diseño de parcelas divididas distribuidas al azar. En el cual la parcela principal fue la salinidad [con NaCl o con solución nutritiva estándar (SNS)] y la subparcela fue la aplicación de Si (0, 4, 8 g L-1). La medición de las variables se realizó durante el día. Los resultados mostraron que la temperatura de la hoja se incrementó al amanecer en plantas con NaCl y al atardecer el efecto se invirtió y los valores mayores fueron en plantas con SNS. Al medio día, se identificó interacción Si × S en las variables de eficiencia fotosintética (Fv/Fm) y fluorescencia mínima (Fo). La fluorescencia máxima (Fm) resultó más afectada por el tipo de salinidad, presentando los valores mayores plantas con SNS. Se concluyó que la respuesta fisiológica diurna de la planta de tomate cultivado bajo condiciones salinas dependerá del tipo de sal empleada y de la dosis de Si, sobretodo en horas tempranas y tardías del día.

Published: March 2020

El género Bacillus presenta una amplia diversidad metabólica asociada a su prevalencia en diversos ecosistemas. En la actualidad, una de las características más estudiadas de este género bacteriano es su capacidad para disminuir la incidencia de enfermedades en cultivos agrícolas, debido a la represión directa o indirecta del crecimiento de los agentes causales dichas enfermedades. Entre los mecanismos más estudiados en el control biológico de cepas del género Bacillus contra agentes fito-patógenos destacan los lipopéptidos, tales como surfactinas, iturinas y fengicinas, los cuales son compuestos de bajo peso molecular con características anfifílicas que proporcionan protección a las plantas tanto en condiciones previas como posteriores a la cosecha. Los lipopéptidos pueden antagonizar directamente a los agentes fito-patógenos y inducir estrategias de resistencia sistémica en las plantas asociadas. Sin embargo, el amplio uso de lipopéptidos en el sector agrícola, farmacéutico, o alimentario depende del desarrollo de procesos analíticos eficientes y económicos para la extracción, identificación, y cuantificación de dichos compuestos bioactivos. Este ensayo presenta un análisis sobre diversos procedimientos analíticos empleados para la extracción, e identificación cualitativa y cuantitativa de estos metabolitos.
Distance travelled to tertiary pediatric care impacts care-seeking behavior and hospital outcome in Vietnam
Authors: Rollins David A , Xu Timothy T , Hoang Viet , Hoang Khang Tuan , Kang Sarah S , Pham Toan Ngoc , Le Duy Ngoc , Ouellette Yves
Published: March 2020

Background

The absence of appropriate and timely critical care in resource-limited countries like Vietnam contributes to poor outcomes and excessive mortality in the acutely ill, pediatric population. Often, tertiary care is limited to major urban centers and patients from remote locations face lengthy travel. How these distances impact care-seeking behavior of the patients’ caregiver, patient acuity on admission, and hospitalization outcome in critically ill children remains unknown.

Methods

We assessed 471 pediatric patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) from the emergency department in a pediatric referral center in Hanoi that serves northern Vietnam. Demographic information from caregivers and medical information was collected by trained staff on site and from the medical record. Patient outcome was followed for sixty days in the ICUs. We analyzed associations between patient admission acuity and outcome to socio-geographic and-demographic data using bivariate logistic regression and log-rank analyses.

Results

The median child’s age in our study was 1.8 months, with the majority under 1 year (83.3%). On admission to the ICU, 40.5% of patients required life-saving treatment. Within sixty days of admission, 73.3% of patients were discharged, 21.8% experienced extended admission and 3.08% expired in the ICU. Patient and caretaker’s distance from home residence to Vietnam National Children’s Hospital (VNCH) greater than 60 kilometers was significantly associated with a more severe patient acuity on ICU admission (Odds Ratio, OR=2.01, 95% Confidence Limit, CL=1.33, 3.06), an extended admission or expiration in the ICU (OR=1.94, 95% CL=1.15, 3.20), a lower family income (OR=3.74, 95% CL=2.46, 5.64), lack of caregiver college education (OR=3.73, 95% CL=2.34, 6.05), and greater referrals and days delayed seeking care.

Conclusions

These findings highlight numerous barriers facing acutely ill children and their caretakers, who must travel long distances to reach appropriate critical care at a tertiary referral hospital. Research into current protocols, skills, and staffing at lower facilities and public health education in these regions is needed to determine the best avenues for improvement of critical care services beyond tertiary centers.
Phytochemical composition and biological activity of Physalis spp.: A mini-review
Authors: Popova Venelina , Stoyanova Albena , Mazova Nadezhda
Published: March 2020

The main objective of this mini-review was to synthesize recent data about the phytochemical composition, the nutritional properties, and the biological and pharmacological activities of a now cosmopolitan genus, Physalis (Solanaceae), being in the focus of intensive research over the last two decades. Six Physalis species with nutritional and pharmacological promise are considered in particular – P. peruviana L., P. philadelphica Lam., P. ixocarpa Brot. ex Horm., P. angulata L., P. pubescens L., and P. alkekengi L. Summarized contemporary data on the metabolite profile and the biological activities of Physalis species support their century-long use in traditional medicine and human nutrition. The fruit represent a rich source of minerals, vitamins, fibers, carotenoids, proteins, fructose, sucrose esters, pectins, flavonoids, polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and many other beneficial nutrients. Individual phytochemicals and complex fractions isolated from Physalis plants demonstrate various biological and pharmacological activities, the most promising of which include antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, hepato-renoprotective, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and others. Most of these activities are associated with the presence of flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, alkaloids, physalins, withanolides, and other bioactive compounds. The accumulated data disclose the potential of Physalis spp. as highly functional foods, as profitable crops for many regions over the world, and as sources of valuable secondary metabolites for phytopharmacy, novel medicine and cosmetics. Information provided by this review is also important for a more intensive promotion of Physalis species in Bulgaria and for future studies on their composition and benefits.

Published: March 2020

Accurate assessment of coagulation in porcine studies is essential. We sought to establish normal values for porcine rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) according to the American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology guidelines and to assess the effects of various preanalytical
parameters on those measurements. Healthy Yorkshire-cross pigs (n = 81; 46 males and 35 females) were anesthetized. By using a 18-gauge needle attached to a vacuum phlebotomy tube, blood was acquired from the cranial vena cava. Tubes were filled in the following order: evacuation clot
tube, EDTA tube, heparin tube, and 2 citrate tubes. The citrate tubes were randomly assigned to 30 min with or without constant agitation on a rocker. The following parameters were reported according to the manufacturer's recommendations: clotting time, clot formation time, α, (tangent
to the clot formation curve when the clot firmness is 20 mm), clot firmness after 10 and 20 min, maximal clot firmness, maximum lysis, and lysis indexes at 30 and 45 min. Reference intervals were reported as mean ± 2 SD (parametric distribution) or 2.5th and 97.5th percentile of the
population's results (nonparametric distribution). The effects of sex, sampling order, and agitation on ROTEM results were analyzed through linear regression. Neither sex nor sample agitation influenced any of the ROTEM parameters. Combined reference intervals were established for each ROTEM
parameter by pooling data from the nonagitated tubes for both male and female pigs. This study is the first to establish ROTEM reference intervals from a large number of male and female adult Yorkshire-cross pigs and to provide a detailed description of preanalytical sample processing.

Authors: Tkachenko Anna Vadimovna
Published: March 2020

The article examines the English attributive word combinations and the format of knowledge they represent. The paper aims to analyse the process of developing the attributive meaning on the basis of an established model from the viewpoint of cognitive linguistics, which conditions originality of the study. The findings indicate that this format of knowledge presupposes the use of the implicit basic predicate with explicit arguments and requires competence in such issues as types of the English attributive combinations, relations between the components, ways to put them together, means of objectification.

On non-computability of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium
Authors: Glaciel William
Published: March 2020

As can be seen in Richter and Wong (1999), non-computability of general equilibrium has been recognized in economics. However, despite general non-computability, equilibrium can indeed be computed in specific cases. In this paper, further restriction on computability of equilibrium is provided in contexts of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models with heterogeneous agents, demonstrating that non-computability concerns apply more generally than often understood.

Authors: naryono endang
Published: March 2020

This study aims to analyze the positioning map of GSM mobile phone operators prepaid systems based on consumer perception in the city of Jember. The basis used to position cellular telephone operators is consumers' perceptions of the similarity of the determinant attributes consisting of products, prices, promotions, locations, processes, people, and physical evidence of each cell phone operator. The analysis technique is Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). This research was conducted by taking 60 respondents with a purposive sampling method. The data obtained were tested using MDS analysis to determine the reliability and validity, the results of positioning maps of GSM cell phone operators of prepaid systems (Telkomsel, Indosat, XL, 3, and AXIS) based on consumer perceptions, and the similarity of respondents' attitudes in providing ratings . Based on the results of the analysis there are differences in the position of each GSM cell phone operator prepaid system based on consumer perception and shows that the GSM cell phone operator of the AXIS prepaid system is the closest competitor or direct competitor of the Telkomsel brand, especially regarding promotion, location, and process. XL and Three operators do not have direct competitors (indirect competitors) because they have the biggest difference or clear and unique differentiation. Indosat operators do not have a strong or clear positioning, because they do not have many similarities and also do not have much difference with other operators in the minds of consumers. The results of the consistency test and the similarity of the respondents' attitudes also showed that the respondents did not have the same attitudes in assessing the similarity of the GSM prepaid cell phone operator.

Published: March 2020

State of the art surface inspection planning requires an expert approach with a lot of trial and error. Because of the lack of available aiding tools, an engineer building inspection systems must rely heavily on his or her experience. In this work we proposed an interactive 3D visualization tool to help an engineer determine good viewpoints. It can be used both as a standalone tool for manual viewpoint placement or as an interface to the inspection planning algorithms giving the engineer a possibility to evaluate and modify automatically generated plans.

Archaeological site mapping is important for both understanding the history and protectingthe sites from excavation during developmental activities. As archaeological sites aregenerally spread over a large area, use of high spatial resolution remote sensing imageryis becoming increasingly applicable in the world. The main objective of this study is tomap the land cover of the Itanos area of Crete and of its changes, with specific focus onthe detection of the landscape’s archaeological features. Six satellite images were acquiredfrom the Pleiades and WorldView-2 satellites over a period of 3 years. In addition, digitalimagery of two known archaeological sites was used for validation. An object-based imageanalysis classification was subsequently developed using the five acquired satellite images.Two rule sets were created, one using the standard four bands which both satellites haveand another for the two WorldView-2 images with their four extra bands included. Validationof the thematic maps produced from the classification scenarios confirmed a differencein accuracy amongst the five images. Comparing the results of a 4-band rule set versusthe 8-band rule set showed a slight increase in classification accuracy using extra bands.The resultant classifications showed a good level of accuracy exceeding 70%. Yet, separatingthe archaeological sites from the open spaces with little or no vegetation proved tobe challenging. This was mainly due to the high spectral similarity between rocks and thearchaeological ruins. The high resolution of the satellite data allowed for the accuracy indefining larger archaeological sites, but still there was difficulty in distinguishing smallerareas of interest. The digital image data provided a very good 3D representation for thearchaeological sites, assisting as well as in validating the satellite-derived classificationmaps. To conclude, our study provides further evidence that use of high resolution imagerymay allow for archaeological sites to be located, but only where the archaelogical featuresare of an adequate size.

The education as an effort which is conducted comprehensively and systematically, will enliven the studying environment and education process so that the student are actively developing their potency to have the spiritual power, personality, intelligence and self development. Education is also recognized as a partial effort of increasing the welfare level of human life. To enliven the purpose and motivation of the education, education administration is needed to support it. Some intellectuals prefer using the education management to education administration. In this research, the writer chose the term of education administration since the writer considered that the management is part of the administration. Education administration is administration with wider scope which involves various activities which all are directed for the achievement of education purpose. Through research which used rational method and literature survey technique (reading and reviewing various sources which are related with education administration concept), it can be concluded that education and education administration concept couldn’t be separated one from another. In every education process, there will be a need of education administration. ...
Exploring the Potential of Sentinels-1 & 2 of the Copernicus Mission in Support of Rapid and Cost-effective Wildfire Assessment

Published: March 2020

The present study explores the use of the recently launched Sentinel-1 and -2 data of the Copernicus mission inwildfire mapping with a particular focus on retrieving information on burnt area, burn severity as well as inquantifying soil erosion changes. As study area, the Sierra del Gata wildfire occurred in Spain during the summerof 2015 was selected. First, diverse image processing algorithms for burnt area extraction from Sentinel-2 datawere evaluated. In the next step, burn severity maps were derived from Sentinel-2 data alone, and the synergybetween Sentinel-2 & Sentinel-1 for this purpose was evaluated. Finally, the impact of the wildfire to soilerodibility estimates derived from the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model implemented to theacquired Sentinel images was explored. In overall, the Support Vector Machines (SVMs) classifier obtained themost accurate burned area mapping, with a derived accuracy of 99.38%. An object-based SVMs classificationusing as input both optical and radar data was the most effective approach of delineating burn severity,achieving an overall accuracy of 92.97%. Soil erosion mapping predictions allowed quantifying the impact ofwildfire to soil erosion at the studied site, suggesting the method could be potentially of a wider use. Our resultscontribute to the understanding of wildland fire dynamics in the context of the Mediterranean ecosystem, demonstratingthe usefulness of Sentinels and of their derived products in wildfire mapping and assessment.

Published: March 2020

In 2014 Public Health England (PHE) launched the national physical activity (PA) framework ‘Everybody Active, Everyday’. The framework included a key domain for action called ‘Moving Professionals’. The Moving Professionals Programme aimed to build expertise and leadership across key professional sectors and to raise awareness and understanding of the health benefits of PA among professionals and the wider public. The Moving Professionals Programme comprised a number of innovative work packages that are described elsewhere (See Brannan et al., 2019). The Physical Activity Clinical Advice Pad (PACAP) pilot was one element of the Moving Professionals Programme, and aimed to; increase the number of primary healthcare professionals (HCPs) in England who integrate brief advice on PA into their routine clinical practice.The PACAP provides advice about the amount and type of PA required to improve health and was designed to look like a prescription pad to aid compliance with the advice provided. It also provides tips on different ways to become more active and signposts users to the PHE Active 10 app and One You website. The purpose of the PACAP was to prompt and facilitate conversations about PA between HCPs and patients.In 2017, PHE and Sport England invited expressions of interest (EoIs) from Local Authority (LA) and Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) partnerships across England to engage in the pilot. Twenty-five applications were returned and ten partnerships were invited to take part in the PACAP pilot.As part of the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) network, academics at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) were commissioned to conduct an independent evaluation of the PACAP pilot. The NCSEM were not responsible for the implementation or delivery of the PACAP pilot. The evaluation adopted a mixed methods approach to explore the acceptability of the PACAP pilot. Data was collected from patients and HCPs using surveys, telephone interviews, focus groups and audits between April 2018 and February 2019. This report details the evaluation findings, provides recommendation for future iterations of the project and provides implications for scaling the PACAP across additional localities in England.
