Gender political correctness in German (on the material of political leaders public performances)
Authors: Chigasheva M. A.
Published: September 2020

The issue of gender equality is currently being studied on the basis of different languages and from various positions, most intensively from the point of view of language policy. In this case, we are talking about the choice of language tools in oral or written speech that allow to unambiguously reflect gender and the social role of the named person. The word-building capabilities of the German language, in particular suffixation and substantiation, represent a significant potential for creating gender-correct lexical units. The main objective of the study was to identify lexical means of expressing political correctness in the speech of representatives of various political parties of Germany (Christian Democratic Union, Christian Social Union, Social Democratic Party of Germany, Free Democratic Party, Green Party, Left Party, Alternative for Germany) in close interconnection with extralinguistic factors. In the research process, the continuous sampling method, semantic, contextual, and statistical analysis were used, which made it possible to identify units with a gender marking. Based on semantic attributes, the identified lexemes were classified into four groups: feminitives, gender-neutral, gender-asymmetric, and gender-symmetric units. The analysis shows the changes in the German language towards gender equality. The main tendency of this process is feminization, the signs of which are found primarily in the language of female politicians, which also reflects the national-cultural specificity of the modern German language.

Participación en actividades fuera de la escuela y su valor subjetivo: un estudio exploratorio con niños y adolescentes
Authors: Oller Badenes Judith , Largo Sierra Mariana , Merino Rubio Iris , Coll Salvador César
Published: September 2020

Introducción.  En el marco de la “nueva ecología del aprendizaje” ha empezado a ser fundamental trazar puentes entre las experiencias de aprendizaje que los estudiantes desarrollan dentro y fuera de la escuela. Hasta el momento, pocas investigaciones se han enfocado en el estudio de actividades que tienen lugar fuera de la escuela. En este trabajo exploramos las diferencias en la participación de niños y adolescentes en 26 actividades fuera de la escuela, y la percepción subjetiva de los aprendizajes derivados de su participación en ellas.Método.  Diseñamos un cuestionario para explorar la participación de estudiantes en actividades fuera de la escuela y el valor subjetivo que atribuyen a sus experiencias de aprendizaje. La lista de actividades se obtuvo a través del análisis temático de 17 grupos focales. La muestra son 946 niños de entre 10 y 16 años de escuelas públicas de Cataluña. La participación se analiza en función de la edad, el sexo, el nivel socioeconómico y la localización geográfica de la escuela. El análisis de los datos se realiza con el software SPSS.Resultados.  Se evidencian diferentes tendencias en la participación en actividades fuera de la escuela según la edad y el sexo de los participantes, mientras que factores como el nivel socioeconómico y la localización geográfica tienen una influencia muy limitada. La participación en actividades fuera de la escuela muestra un patrón de desarrollo en función de la edad, así como diferencias importantes relacionadas con el género (los chicos están sobrerrepresentados en "deportes" y "videojuegos", mientras que las chicas muestran una mayor preferencia por actividades sociales o académicas). Los participantes califican las actividades relacionadas con lo académico como las más importantes a nivel de aprendizaje en contraste con otros tipos de actividades informales en las que dicen que también aprenden.Discusión y Conclusiones.  Consideramos necesario que las escuelas sean conscientes del riesgo que pueden tener los estereotipos de género y los discursos sociales sobre el aprendizaje formal en la toma de decisiones de los estudiantes. Se deben implementar nuevas formas de validar las experiencias de aprendizaje no-formales e informales para reconocer y aumentar la visibilidad social de otras experiencias formativas fuera de la escuela.

Authors: Dabbagh Armaghan , MacDermid Joy C. , Yong Joshua , Macedo Luciana G. , Packham Tara L.
Published: September 2020

Objective

To summarize and evaluate research on the accuracy of clinical diagnostic scales, questionnaires, and hand symptom diagrams/maps used for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Design

Systematic review of diagnostic test accuracy.

Literature Search

A comprehensive literature search of the MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase databases was conducted on January 20, 2020.

Study Selection Criteria

Studies that assessed at least 1 diagnostic accuracy property of the scales, questionnaires, and hand symptom diagrams used for the diagnosis of CTS.

Data Synthesis

The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Risk of bias and applicability concerns were assessed using the revised Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. Diagnostic accuracy properties were summarized.

Results

Out of 4052 citations after removing duplicates, 21 articles met the inclusion criteria. Twelve articles reported on the diagnostic accuracy of scales and questionnaires, including the Bland questionnaire, Kamath and Stothard questionnaire, 6-item carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms scale (CTS-6), Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, Wainner clinical prediction rule, and Lo clinical prediction rule. Positive likelihood ratios ranged from 0.94 for the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire to 10.5 for the CTS-6, and negative likelihood ratios ranged from 1.04 to 0.05 for the same diagnostic tools, respectively. Nine studies reported the diagnostic accuracy of the Katz and Stirrat hand symptom diagram. Positive and negative likelihood ratios ranged from 1.42 to 8 and from 0.78 to 0.05, respectively. Only 4 studies had high methodologic quality.

Conclusion

Limited evidence supports high accuracy of the CTS-6, Kamath and Stothard questionnaire, and Katz and Stirrat hand symptom diagram. Other scales have lesser and more conflicting evidence. Further high-quality studies are necessary to examine the diagnostic accuracy of these tests to assist ruling in or ruling out CTS. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(11):622–631.

Published: September 2020

Recent progress on four-membered ring building blocks has led us to investigate the formation of non-natural azetidine-based amino acids (Aze). A simple organometallic route was developed to access unsaturated carboxylic acids, which were further engaged in metal catalyzed asymmetric reduction. Functionalized Aze derivatives were finally employed in the formation of small peptide chains.
New Light on Old Fingermarks: The Detection of Historic Latent Fingermarks on Old Paper Documents Using 1,2-Indanedione/zinc
Authors: Bouzin Jemmy T. , Merendino Jason , Bleay Stephen M. , Sauzier Georgina , Lewis Simon W.
Published: September 2020

This study explores trends in the effectiveness of 1,2-indandione/zinc chloride (IND/Zn) for visualizing latent fingermarks on paper substrates of various ages. Preliminary investigation of contemporaneous documents showed that high quality fingermarks could be deposited through incidental handling, although smudging and overlapping were evident. IND/Zn was then applied to incidentally handled documents up to 80 years old and successfully developed potentially identifiable fingermarks, significantly increasing the established timescale for fingermark detection with amino acid sensitive reagents. The results indicate that IND/Zn remains effective over longer periods than has been previously demonstrated, although a comparison between documents of different ages suggest that progressive diffusion of the target amino acids occurs over time, affecting the proportion of potentially identifiable marks.The findings of this study reinforce the applicability of IND/Zn for the detection of historic latent fingermarks on old paper documents.

Published: September 2020

Open bite is the absence of vertical overlap of lower incisors by upper incisors when posterior teeth are in occlusion. An anterior open bite can cause periodontal damage which leads to gingivitis and periodontitis. To assess the gingival health status in patients with anterior open bite and also compares with patients without an anterior open bite. Retrospective data collected from 89,000 case records from June 2019 to March 2020. The present study consisted of 76 patients divided into two groups: patients with anterior open bite and patients without an anterior open bite. In both groups, the following parameters were recorded - Oral Hygiene Index - Simplified (OHI-S) and Plaque Index (Silness and Loe). OHI-S index and plaque index was similar in patients with and without an anterior open bite. Mean Plaque Index for case group (patients with anterior open bite) is 0.76, and Mean Plaque Index for control group (patients without the anterior open bite) is 0.78. Mean OHI-S Index for case group (patients with anterior open bite) is 0.51, and Mean OHI-S Index for the control group (patients without the anterior open bite) is 0.53. The difference was not statistically significant (P-value > 0.05). In this study, gingival health status in patients with and without an anterior open bite is low.

Published: September 2020

Engineered cell-based therapeutics is having a great commitment in the field of treatment of human diseases. Scientific studies revealed that cell-based therapeutics play a key role in the treatment of cancers which can be an alternative for traditional immunotherapy. Even though there have been promising results, and the potential side effects resulting in mortality forced the scientists to impart regulations in the current therapies. These are evident in the growing frame of the literature of synthetic biology. Synthetic Biology empowered these new approaches to several applications in the medical field, including the development of bioengineered cell-based immunotherapies, peculiarly T-cell engineering with tumour-targeting receptors and the Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cells. The specific applications of this bioengineering of cells include direct injection of cells, merging the cells with a biomaterial scaffold in an in vitro or situ condition, or the biomaterial scaffold implantation alone which can induce surrounding cells leading to tissue restoration. Hence the aim of this review article is to highlight the various aspects of engineered cell-based therapeutics.

Published: September 2020

Many dental and medical students are aware that educating our patients with accurate information is essential. They must be more innovative to provide them with the experience of a positive outcome. This new era is all about design. They have to grow with the times. Exercising the right brain, developing innovative ideas within our practices, and the ability to make great leaps of thought are the common denominators. The survey aims to study knowledge and awareness among undergraduate students about right-brain thinkers. A self-structured questionnaire comprising about 15 questions was prepared and circulated through online-based, i.e., Google forms. The results were obtained and statistically through SPSS software. Majority of them were aware that right-brain thinkers are creative and innovative. Even most of them knew that right-brain thinker could not focus on a particular thing for an extended period. The Creative age of the 21st century will highlight Creative thinkers, those who can deliver the competence of leading-edge dentistry along with the experience of patients. The too much-left brain will lead one never to leave the ground with endless execution and no magic. The awareness about right-brain thinkers and their abilities must be known and to know about their unique traits and develop knowledge.

Published: September 2020

Significant reconstruction of damaged teeth requires a great deal of new and traditional treatment methods, and the design of attachment retained removable partial dentures is one such therapeutic approach in prosthodontics. Customized semi-precision fittings with partial dentures provide strength and enhanced aesthetics in situations with limited space. The objective of the study was to determine the knowledge and understanding of precision attachments amongst dental students. A descriptive survey was conducted among undergraduate and postgraduate dental students using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire gathered information on the respondent's knowledge regarding the use of precision attachments among dental practitioners in dentistry. Out of the 100 students,60% of them believed that based on the geometric configuration and design of the attachment precision attachments can be classified as the key lock, 20% believed that they were classified as latch type attachments and the rest 20% believed that they were classified as ball and socket attachment. Out of the 100 students who took the survey, 80% believed that the advantages of using precision attachments were all except increasing the stress to abutment and 20% believed that the advantages were all except decreasing torsional forces. All the students who had taken part in the survey had moderate knowledge about the use of precision attachments in dentistry. More intensive educational and awareness initiatives should be undertaken to increase the awareness levels about precision attachments among dental students.

Published: September 2020

The antioxidant activity of essential oils from leaves of Piper betle L. (T) and Cleistocalyx operculatus L. (V) and aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides L. (H), indigenously grown in Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam, is investigated. The quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model comprising 4-hydroxy-chromene-2H-one and its 26 derivatives is used to predict the radical scavenging activity of T, V, and H. The radical scavenging activity of the oils is experimentally determined with DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) via IC50 values. The experimental IC50 values are in good agreement with those obtained from the QSAR model. The IC50 value of Piper betle L. is 3.71 mg/mL, comparable to that of the strong antioxidant ascorbic acid (3.03 mg /mL).
From environment to clinic: the role of pesticides in antimicrobial resistance
Authors: Malagón-Rojas Jeadran N , Parra Barrera Eliana L , Lagos Luisa
Published: September 2020

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogens has been associated mainly with excessive use of antibiotics. Most studies of resistance have focused on clinical pathogens; however, microorganisms are exposed to numerous anthropogenic substances. Few studies have sought to determine the effects of chemical substances on microorganisms. Exposure to these substances may contribute to increased rates of AMR. Understanding microorganism communities in natural environments and AMR mechanisms under the effects of anthropogenic substances, such as pesticides, is important to addressing the current crisis of antimicrobial resistance.

This report draws attention to molecules, rather than antibiotics, that are commonly used in agrochemicals and may be involved in developing AMR in non-clinical environments, such as soil. This report examines pesticides as mediators for the appearance of AMR, and as a route for antibiotic resistance genes and antimicrobial resistant bacteria to the anthropic environment. Available evidence suggests that the natural environment may be a key dissemination route for antibiotic-resistant genes. Understanding the interrelationship of soil, water, and pesticides is fundamental to raising awareness of the need for environmental monitoring programs and overcoming the current crisis of AMR.

Objetivo. Detectar la presencia del gen ermB asociado a la resistencia a macrólidos en cepas de Campylobacter spp. aisladas de pollos comercializados en Lima, Perú.

Métodos. Se analizaron 120 muestras de piel de pollo provenientes de tres mercados de los distritos de San Martín de Porres (n = 30), Santa Anita (n = 20) e Independencia (n = 70), ubicados en la Provincia de Lima, Perú. Se realizó el análisis microbiológico de las muestras según las recomendaciones de la norma ISO 10272-1:2017. Para la confirmación por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR, por sus siglas en inglés) de género y especie, se utilizaron los cebadores (primers) 16-rARN y GlyA e hipO, respectivamente. Para evaluar la sensibilidad antibiótica, se utilizó el agar Müller-Hinton sangre al 5% con sensidiscos de azitromicina (15 μg) y eritromicina (15 μg). La detección del gen ermB en cepas con fenotipos resistentes se realizó mediante PCR convencional.

Resultados. Se obtuvo un total de 117 muestras positivas (97,5%), de las cuales 100% fueron compatibles con Campylobacter coli (prueba de hipurato negativa) y confirmadas por PCR. La evaluación de resistencia antibiótica en placa para azitromicina y eritromicina dio como resultado 100% de cepas con fenotipo de resistencia a estos macrólidos, mientras que la PCR para la detección del gen ermB indicó un total de 62 positivas (53%), que fueron confirmadas por secuenciamiento.

Conclusiones. Estos resultados demuestran que las carcasas de pollo comercializadas en mercados de Lima presentan contaminación por C. coli con una alta resistencia a macrólidos, lo cual puede ser atribuido a la presencia del gen ermB.

The Impact of Financial Structure on Export Perfor-mance: The Case of Manufacturing Sectors in Turkey
Authors: YIKILMAZ ERKOL Aslı , COŞKUN Nuran
Published: September 2020

A substantial amount of empirical research has explored the decisive role of var-ious external and internal forces on determining the sector export performance. However, there are a few studies, considering financial structure as a determi-nant of export performance. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the relationship between a set of financial variables and export performance in Turkey’s 24 manufacturing sectors for the period between 2008 and 2016. According to the panel EGLS results, short-term debt, bank loans, size, interest expenses and return on equity have a positive effect on export intensity in con-trast to the return on asset, current asset ratio and foreign exchange rate. Conse-quently, we find substantial evidence that more short term-debt and bank loans in the capital structure lead to an increase in export performance. Further, firms with larger sizes, higher return on equity tend to present higher export performance.

Authors: MACİT Deniz
Published: September 2020

Taşımacılık faaliyetlerinin türev talep olması nedeni ile ekonomik büyüme ile birlikte değerlendirildiğinden bu iki unsur arasındaki ilişkinin analiz edilmesi son derece önemlidir. Ayrıca taşımacılık altyapısına yapılan yatırımların yüksek maliyetleri ve uzun vadeli karakteri göz önüne alındığında, politika yapıcıların altyapı projelerine karar vermek için yük taşımacılığı ile ilgili ampirik sonuçlara ihtiyaçları bulunmaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, karayolu ulaştırma modu çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilen yük taşımacılığı miktarlarındaki değişimin ekonomik büyüme ve ticaret hacmi üzerinde bir etkisinin olup olmadığının belirlenmesidir. Ticaret ve GSYİH ile Türkiye’de yük taşımacılığı arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak için 1988-2018 arası döneme ilişkin yıllık veriler ile regresyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın temel bulgusuna göre yük taşımacılığı ile GSYİH ve toplam ticaret hacmi üzerinde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu ilişkiye göre karayolu yük taşımacılığı %1 arttığında GSYİH’nın yaklaşık olarak 0.65, ticaretin ise 0.70 arttığı tahmin edilmiştir. Ekonometrik analiz ile karayolu yük taşımacılığında meydana gelen değişimin ekonomik büyüme ve ticaret hacmini ne yönde değiştirdiği ortaya konduktan sonra karayolu yük taşımacılığının geliştirilmesine yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

Authors: Chowdhury Abhinandan , Hossain Marzana , Hossain Abir
Published: September 2020

Due to high demand of pure water, in densely populated Dhaka city, “Jar” water business by private suppliers has hiked up in recent years. And currently negative reports on the purity of these jar water had been evident in social and print media. Therefore, checking microbial contamination in these jar water used in various road side tea stalls known as “Tongs”, was the aim of this study. In this study, a total of 55 jar water samples were collected from 30 tea stalls. Membrane filter was used to extract the bacteria, which were later grown on m-FC agar (for total coliform) and m-FC agar with Rosolic acid (for fecal coliform). A total of 190 bacterial colonies was isolated and from them 19 were E.aerogenes, 30 were Escherichia Coli, 3 were Klebsiella, 28 were Salmonella and 11 were Shigella. The presence of these five bacteria are the clear evidence of contamination in the supplied jar water at road-side tea stalls of Dhaka; indicating robust quality check for water purity is required by the supplier. Awareness amongst the customers and stall owners should be made for the safety of the stake holders from water-borne diseases.
Innocence and Prevention
Authors: Doyle James
Published: September 2020

Some contemporary writers argue that wrongful convictions represent system failures in a complex criminal justice system.  Currently explorations are underway into whether pursuit of non-blaming, all-stakeholders, forward-looking “sentinel event” reviews focused on lowering risk rather than laying blame can improve safety from wrongful convictions.  This article reviews the underlying theory of safety-based practices and sketches one model of how work on preventing wrongful convictions might be institutionalized:  made a part of a new culture of continuous improvement that lowers the risk of future wrongful convictions and offers a degree of restorative justice to the victims of errors.

Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and the cardiovascular risk in women with breast cancer and identify factors associated with excessive body weight. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out in an oncology outpatient clinic and, gynecology/oncology wards at the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, from March to August 2019. The data analyzed was related to sociodemographic, gynecologic, clinic, anthropometric and lifestyle factors. Nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index, considering excessive body weight when > 25 kg/m2 for adults and > 27 kg/m2 for elderly. Obesity was considered > 30 kg/m2. Cardiovascular risk was defined by waist circumference (≥ 80 cm), neck circumference (≥ 34 cm) and waist-to-height ratio (> 0.5). Results: A total of 46 patients were included, with a mean age of 51.9 years, and the majority in outpatient follow-up. The population was mostly Caucasian women, who were married or in a civil union, who had had at least one pregnancy, were in menopause, and were sedentary. High frequencies of excessive body weight (76.1%) and obesity (43.5%) were observed, and anthropometric parameters revealed an elevated frequency of cardiovascular risk in this population, waist circumference (97.8%), neck circumference (84.8%), and waist-to-height ratio (95.7%). Unemployment (p = 0.020), and waist (p = 0.001) and neck (p = 0.001) circumferences were statistically associated factors to excessive body weight. Conclusions: The anthropometric profile of women with breast cancer indicated excess body weight and elevated cardiovascular risk, which suggests to the need for nutrition intervention and follow-up after the diagnosis.
Histological and molecular classification of breast cancer: what do we know?

Published: September 2020

Breast cancer is the neoplasm most diagnosed malignancy and the leading cause of mortality among women on a global scale. A profound increase in the understanding and clinical management of breast cancer has occurred over the past two decades, which has led to significant progress in prevention, early detection, and personalized breast cancer therapy. However, the biggest obstacle still faced in clinical practice is the complete understanding of intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity, in addition to the mechanisms of multiple drug resistance in the systemic treatment of the disease. In view of this, many studies focus on analyzing morphological and, mainly, molecular patterns of breast cancer, with the purpose of grouping these tumors into classes or entities to assist in clinical management, in the elaboration of epidemiological and functional studies, and in the performance of clinical trials. The most common special histological types of breast cancer include: medullary carcinoma, metaplastic carcinoma, apocrine carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, cribriform carcinoma, tubular carcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, classic lobular carcinoma, and pleomorphic lobular carcinoma, in addition to the non-specific type of invasive ductal carcinoma, which constitutes the majority of newly diagnosed cases. As to their molecular aspect, intrinsic subtypes were identified based on global studies of gene expression profiles. Today, four molecular subgroups are widely reproduced and well established in the clinical routine, namely: Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2 +, and Triple Negative. Thus, the present article aims to briefly address the histological and molecular classification of breast cancer.
