Authors: Rubio-Sánchez Ricardo , Lepe-Balsalobre Esperanza , Viloria-Peñas María del Mar
Published: March 2021

Objectives

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This disease is associated with leukocytosis with lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and elevated levels of d-dimer, and C-reactive protein, ferritin, procalcitonin, and lactate dehydrogenase. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and analytical characteristics of hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and to identify prognostic factors of disease progression.

Methods

Patients were categorized into two groups based on COVID-19 severity. Study variables included demographic data, medical history, length of hospital stay, course of pneumonia, drug therapy, and analytical parameters. A descriptive and multivariate analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors for disease severity.

Results

The study population included 197 patients, of whom 127 had mild disease and 70 had severe COVID-19. Statistically significant differences were observed in most analytical parameters. The parameters included in the multivariate analysis were advanced age and elevated levels of leukocytes, CRP, GGT, and PCT at admission as prognostic factors for disease severity.

Conclusions

The prognostic factors for the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection identified in this study (age, leukocytes, CRP, GGT, and PCT) will help predict the course of the disease at an early stage.

Computational prediction of CRISPR-impaired non-coding regulatory regions
Authors: Baumgarten Nina , Schmidt Florian , Wegner Martin , Hebel Marie , Kaulich Manuel , Schulz Marcel H.
Published: March 2021

Genome-wide CRISPR screens are becoming more widespread and allow the simultaneous interrogation of thousands of genomic regions. Although recent progress has been made in the analysis of CRISPR screens, it is still an open problem how to interpret CRISPR mutations in non-coding regions of the genome. Most of the tools concentrate on the interpretation of mutations introduced in gene coding regions. We introduce a computational pipeline that uses epigenomic information about regulatory elements for the interpretation of CRISPR mutations in non-coding regions. We illustrate our analysis protocol on the analysis of a genome-wide CRISPR screen in hTERT-RPE1 cells and reveal novel regulatory elements that mediate chemoresistance against doxorubicin in these cells. We infer links to established and to novel chemoresistance genes. Our analysis protocol is general and can be applied on any cell type and with different CRISPR enzymes.
Associations of insulin-induced lipodystrophy in children, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus using recombinant human insulin: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Singha Arijit , Bhattacharjee Rana , Dalal Bibhas Saha , Biswas Dibakar , Choudhuri Subhadip , Chowdhury Subhankar
Published: March 2021

Objective

Insulin-induced lipodystrophy is of two types, lipohypertrophy and lipoatrophy. Lipodystrophy often leads to worsening of glycemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Our objective was to identify the clinical, immunological, and other factor(s) associated with the development of lipodystrophy.

Methods

In this observational cross-sectional hospital-based study, 95 children, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus were observed for the development of lipodystrophy. Injection technique, insulin dose, and glycemic parameters were noted. Serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and anti-insulin antibody levels were measured. Histopathological examination of the lipodystrophic area was done in a small number of people.

Results

Among the participants, 45.2% of participants had lipohypertrophy and 4.2% had lipoatrophy exclusively; 3.1% of participants had coexisting lipohypertrophy and lipoatrophy. Improper injection site rotation technique was more common in participants with lipohypertrophy in comparison to those without lipodystrophy. The age of onset of diabetes, duration of insulin use, and the number of times of needle reuse were not significantly different between the lipohypertrophy and nonlipodystrophy groups. Serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and anti-insulin antibody levels; HbA1c; rate of hypoglycemia; and body weight-adjusted dose requirement were higher among the participants with lipohypertrophy. On histopathology, scant, or no inflammatory infiltrate was found in lipoatrophic and lipohypertrophic areas, respectively.

Conclusion

Improper insulin injection technique and higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and anti-insulin antibody are associated with lipodystrophy in type 1 diabetes mellitus. HbA1c and rate of hypoglycemia are higher in people with lipodystrophy.

Annetta T. Mills and the Origin of Deaf Education in China
Authors: Wan Shu
Published: March 2021

As the first education institution enrolling deaf children in China, the Chefoo School for the Deaf (which will be called “Chefoo School” in the rest of this article) was originally established by the American missionary couple Charles R. Mills and Annetta T. Mills. In the first decade of the twentieth century, the Chefoo School succeeded in attracting students across the country. For investigating Mills’s contributions to the proliferation of Chinese deaf education in a transnational context, this article will consist of the following three sections. The first section primarily discusses the early history of deaf education in China before the establishment of the Chefoo School in 1898. As early as the 1840s, Chinese elites had already gained firsthand knowledge of deaf education in the United States. Around the 1870s, American and French missionaries respectively proposed to establish a specific deaf school, which took care of deaf children in Shanghai but failed to provide special education to them. And then the second section of this article will examine Mills’s efforts to seek financial support from the transnational community of deaf education. The final section of this article will switch to Mills’s agenda of localizing deaf education in China, including training native teachers fostering the proliferation of deaf education in China and providing industrial training to Chinese deaf children.
Social Inclusion in Group Homes: Determining Facilitators and Barriers to Inclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities
Authors: Rodenburg Erin , Decorso Adrianna , Khosa Deep , Taylor Andrew , McWhirter Jennifer , Papadopoulos Andrew
Published: March 2021

Social inclusion is central to positive life experiences for those with and without intellectual disabilities (ID). Unfortunately, those with ID experience high levels of social isolation. As group homes, one of the most common forms of community living, aim to provide an equitable quality of life for adults with disabilities, significant responsibility of promoting social inclusion falls to them. The intention of this review is to identify the facilitators and barriers associated with social inclusion for people with ID living in group homes to develop an evaluation framework. Five databases were searched, and inclusion/exclusion criteria were used to narrow the results to 21 articles. Four main categories of barriers and facilitators to inclusion became apparent in the literature: (1) Home characteristics and social inclusion, (2) Staff characteristics and social inclusion, (3) Organizational/Leadership characteristics and social inclusion, and (4) Resident characteristics and social inclusion. While the findings from these articles have been divided into four broad categories, it is acknowledged the identified barriers and facilitators are varied and highlight the important role of the group home and surrounding communities in promoting social inclusion of their residents. This review also highlights a gap in current literature surrounding social inclusion for those with ID. Overall, more emphasis on understanding the various pathways to achieving social inclusion from group home residents with ID could contribute to the creation of effective policy and practices.
The Influence of Accessibility on Perceptions of People with Disabilities
Authors: Soetemans Julia K. , Jackson Lynne M.
Published: March 2021

Prejudice and discrimination against people with disabilities can be masked through seemingly benign expressions such as communications of pity and provision of unwanted help. Such forms of paternalism have been theorized to arise in response to social conditions that fail to highlight people’s competencies. Following this logic, the present study assessed how the accessibility of an environment shapes perceptions of competence of, and feelings of pity toward, people with disabilities. Undergraduate students (N= 111) read vignettes that described a person with one of three disabilities (related to mobility, sight or hearing) in either an accessible or an inaccessible environment and subsequently reported their perceptions of, and reactions to, the target person. In support of the hypothesis, non-disabled people viewed people with disabilities more positively in an accessible compared to an inaccessible environment. Specifically, they perceived disabled people as more competent and warm, and pitied them less, compared to in inaccessible or neutral (control) environments. The more positive responses to the disabled targets in accessible environments compared to inaccessible environments was largely consistent across disability types, although the deaf target was uniquely viewed as equally positive in the neutral (control) environment and the accessible one. These findings indicate that provision of appropriately accessible environments can be a tool of prejudice reduction.
Hypertension maligne
Authors: Carr Emily Rose
Published: March 2021

Résumé: Dans cet article, nous examinerons le cas d’un patient de 49 ans souffrant de rétinopathie hypertensive maligne et le déclin visuel qui en résulte. RAPPORT DE CAS Une hypertension grave non maîtrisée s’est manifestée sous la forme d’une rétinopathie hypertensive maligne. Le patient présentait des changements rétiniens et visuels importants et a fait l’objet d’un suivi pendant plus de 6 mois. Bien que l’acuité visuelle du patient se soit nettement améliorée, des dommages rétiniens importants se sont produits et le patient a subi une perte de vision qualitative et de champ visuel qui a persisté. DISCUSSION Les changements observés dans le fond de l’œil correspondent à un ris-que élevé de morbidité et de mortalité associé à l’hypertension. La prise en charge des maladies systémiques est une étape cruciale pour inverser les manifestations rétiniennes et réduire au minimum le risque de perte de vision permanente. Le caractère critique du traitement systémique s’applique également à la réduction du risque d’événements vasculaires systémiques qui peuvent compromettre la qualité de vie. Ce cas démon-tre que l’amélioration de l’acuité de Snellen ne correspond pas toujours à l’amélioration fonctionnelle de la vision. Les fournisseurs de soins oculo-visuels qui prennent ces cas en charge doivent tenir compte à la fois des risques systémiques et des résultats visuels.

Authors: Ho Amiee , Goodwin Denise
Published: March 2021

Le présent article présente une recension des écrits et une série de cas rétrospective d’élargissement idiopathique aigu de la tache aveugle chez deux femmes de race blanche et un homme hispanique. Les con-statations les plus caractéristiques comprennent une photopsie unilaté-rale, un élargissement de la tache aveugle, la perte des zones ellipsoïde et d’interdigitation en tomographie par cohérence optique (TCO) et un ERGmf anormal. Il s’agit d’une maladie de la rétine externe qui partage des traits communs avec la rétinopathie occulte externe zonale aiguë (AZOOR), ce qui peut fausser le diagnostic. L’imagerie en autofluores-cence peut aider à différencier les conditions. La diffusion d’un plus grand nombre de rapports de cas décrivant différentes présentations de ce trou-ble de la rétine externe rare devrait aider à améliorer la compréhension clinique de ces affections.

Published: March 2021

Rauwolfia tetraphylla L., is an important medicinal plant in Apocynaceae family and is recognized as an alternative source to Rauwolfia serpentina L., in terms of anti-hypertensive alkaloid production i.e. reserpine. In view of this, the present study is conducted to estimate the reserpine content in different parts (leaf, stem and root) of field grown plants (2 years old), tissue cultured plantlets (R1) (two months old) and cell suspensions cultures (two months old with and without precursor feeding) of R. tetraphylla by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. Overall maximum content of reserpine (in %) was estimated from the root samples. Roots of field grown plants has recorded high percent of reserpine (0.39%) followed by roots of tissue cultured plantlets (0.35%) and root callus based cell suspension cultures (0.38 %) which was fed with precursor amino acid (100 mg/L of tryptophan). In control type of root callus based cell suspension cultures, reserpine content was quantified as 0.14%; by precursor feeding (100 mg/L of tryptophan) it was enhanced to 0.38%. In conclusion, the reserpine content (0.35 and 0.38%) produced by the roots of tissue cultured plantlets (R1) and 100 mg/L tryptophan fed root callus based cell suspensions was comparable to that of the reserpine content (0.39%) of root parts of field grown plants. The present study demonstrates the reserpine production by in vitro cell suspension cultures throughout the year without sacrificing the medicinal plants.

Functional Systems and Brain Functional Units Beyond Luria, With Luria: Anatomical Aspects
Authors: Pena-Casanova Jordi , Sigg-Alonso Jorge
Published: March 2021

This paper describes the anatomical aspects of a functional brain model that develops A. R. Luria’s ideas. Five functional brain units are described on the basis of ontogenetic, anatomical, histological, functional, and clinical studies: preferential or primordial (unit I), limbic (unit II), cortical (unit III), basal ganglia (unit IV), and cerebellar (unit V). This review allows two large integrated and interrelated functional complexes to be distinguished: a primordial-limbic complex (units I and II) and a supralimbic one (units, III, IV and V). There is consensus that there exists a clear interplay among the cortex, the basal ganglia, and the cerebellum. Three main simplified parallel cortico-basal ganglia systems have been recognized: limbic, associative, and sensorimotor. Certain structures (e. g. neuromodulatory systems, hypothalamus, and paralimbic cortex) form functional links among units. Future studies are required to develop and improve the proposed model.

Regional Press Today: Deontological and Axiological Aspects
Authors: Skibina Olga
Published: March 2021

The article presents an analysis of the current state of the local press and the dynamics of the number of mass media authorized between 2009 and 2019 in Orenburg region. It also deals with violation of deontological norms by the regional journalists. The author analyzed cases of violating provisions of the Code of journalists professional ethics in Orenburg newspapers and discovered the worst violations of deontological standards by local journalists. Besides, the study required semantic analysis of the texts carried out using the special software Advego, which helped to calculate indicators of frequency of using particular words. 25 most frequently used words were then selected in each sub-group, which was aimed at finding axiological vocabulary and comparing its number. The inferred data enable the author to make corrections in the results of the research into the regional press carried out previously by a group of scientists from Lomonosovs State University.

A partir de cet ancrage historique, l’enjeu du présent article est de s’extraire du sens commun s’agissant de la « difficulté » de telle ou telle langue et de poser la notion de langue distante et de langue proche, voire de langue distante qui se rapproche, en s’interroger sur les indicateurs qui font la distance entre deux langues, mais également celle entre un apprenant donné et une langue d’apprentissage. La rationalisation d’une telle problématique conduit inévitablement vers la mise en question de l’égalitarisme institutionnel qui désigne les mêmes objectifs de compétences linguistiques indépendamment de la nature distante ou proche des langues.
La langue rromani en Europe et son usage oral
Authors: COURTHIADE Marcel
Published: March 2021

La spécificité de la langue rromani a inspiré très tôt une série de conjectures, passées en revue ici. La (re)découverte de l'origine indienne du rromani s'est accompagnée du mythe de l'intercompréhension entre Indiens et Rroms (ab Hortis). D'autres fictions prennent le relai : d'un côté une unité qui permettrait l'intercompréhension généralisée des Rroms, de l'autre un grand nombre de langues différentes. Aucune ne correspond à la réalité et nous tenterons de dégager la logique – cohérente mais erronée, de chacune de ces approches, chez les locuteurs de base et chez les chercheurs. Le statut (réel ou présumé) de la langue nourrit diverses représentations, de même que son usage effectif et ses capacités d'expression (ćordikani ćhib, invention du diable, jargon de voleurs). L'image du rromani écrit dépend pour sa part de l'ignorance (cf. C. P. Snow) de l'histoire des autres langues écrites par les détracteurs, mais le sujet est en lui-même un instrument de manipulations politiques.

PRIORITY RATING OF COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD FOR UKRAINE’S NATIONAL INTERESTS
Authors: STAFIICHUK Valentyn
Published: March 2021

After the Russian occupation of Crimea and a part of Donbas the political and geographical position of Ukraine as well as its positioning in the modern world significantly changed. Previously, Ukraine had placed greater focus on non-bloc status in the multipolar world and on development of mutually beneficial bilateral relations with all its partners. For this reason, it is very important to calculate the country priority rating for Ukraine. This rating contains two groups of indicators from all spheres of interstate relations. The first group shows the current level of interaction and the second group shows the importance of states in the modern world. From six priority groups of countries the top-priority for Ukraine is cooperation with Germany, the USA, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Canada, Spain and Switzerland. The second priority group includes most of European countries (such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Slovakia), Japan, Israel, Australia, South Korea, Turkey and Singapore. Contrary to popular belief of supporters of indispensable friendship with Russia this country is not so important for cooperation nowadays and, moreover, it is not a landmark for the future as it is only in the third priority group. This group also includes Bulgaria, Malaysia, China, New Zealand, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Thailand, Brazil, etc.Cooperation with more prosperous countries will help to get rid of the negative moments of Russian colonization, to reach higher economic and socio-political standards. With certain modifications this rating can be used for calculation of cooperation priority ratings for any country in the world.
HUMAN-GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS OF FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE WESTERN REGION OF UKRAINE
Authors: KACHMARYK Zlata
Published: March 2021

The article provides a brief analysis of socio-geographical factors that have a decisive influence on the formation of financial infrastructure in the Western region of Ukraine. Traditional and innovative factors that are stimulating and limiting are highlighted. Among the main factors, emphasis is placed on geographical location, historical and geographical features, economic and geographical, socio-geographical, international cooperation and investment flows. The development of the financial network is not only under the influence of regional factors, but also in line with national and global trends. Despite the fact that the financial infrastructure of the state began to form with independence in 1991, and in the Western region the first prototype network of financial infrastructure began to form in the XVII century, today it is still in its infancy. However, this makes it possible to build the financial infrastructure in accordance with today’s challenges. For the sake of balanced development it is necessary to take into account the factors that not only promote development, but also inhibit it. The financial infrastructure is characterized by significant diversification, so special attention is paid to the factors that are inherent in each component. Banking, credit infrastructure and the infrastructure of mutual investment institutions are more developed in contrast to other components. Socio-geographical factors affect each individually and together, thus showing a synergistic effect. The peculiarity of these factors is also their multiplier effect, which is traced in the chain changes during the transformation of the factor itself. The geographical location of the region has a positive impact on the development of financial infrastructure, which is reflected in the developed network of international and national transport corridors, which provides trade growth, as well as strong international, including cross-border, cooperation in many sectors.

The work is aimed at clarifying the factors of psychological well-being of primary schoolchildren. The materials of empirical research obtained on a sample of 1st grade students of a Moscow school are presented. The study involved first-graders aged 6 to 8 years (N=90, of which 53% were female), their parents (N=86) and class teachers (N=4). The following methods were used: Drawing of a tree, Color test of emotional states and “Houses”, questionnaire E.M. Aleksandrovskaya “Adaptation of schoolchildren”, questionnaire for teachers “Features of student communication”, diagnostic task “Postcards” and questionnaire for parents (all authorised). As a result of the study, significant positive correlations were revealed between indicators of psychological well-being with communication skills of schoolchildren. First-graders with higher indicators of the formation of communication skills have higher indicators of psychological well-being.

Authors: Semenova T.S.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to diagnostics and correction of psychological readiness of children to study at school. Readiness for school is considered as integration of three relatively independent compo-nents: motivation readiness, intellectual readiness, volitional readiness. Diagnostics was carried out with children individually (N˃800). The following methods were used: “Diagnostics of intellectual development of primary school entrants” by G. Witzlak, “Educational activity” by L.I. Tsekhanskaya, author’s method of talking about the school. It is shown that readiness for school on three indicators reaches high level only in one third of those entering school, two thirds of children need support and assistance. The scheme of finishing and correction of psychological readiness for school is presented, in which the strengths and weaknesses of its components are described in detail. Finishing and correcting readiness for school can and should be done by the teacher in the educational process. The diagram sets out the main directions of the search; finding specific methods of influence on the child is left to the teacher’s discretion.

Hacia el desarrollo y la sofisticación del sector financiero de Panamá
Authors: Astudillo Jhonatan A. , Garcimartín Carlos , Schneider Christian
Published: March 2021

El sistema financiero panameño es uno de los grandes activos del país. Ha acompañado la fuerte expansión económica que ha permitido a Panamá convertirse en la nación con mayor PIB per cápita de América Latina. Sin embargo, en los últimos años ha venido perdiendo competitividad, presencia en la economía y atractivo para los inversores extranjeros. El objetivo de este trabajo es, justamente, analizar su desempeño reciente, evaluar su nivel de desarrollo y competitividad y ofrecer posibles alternativas para su modernización y para aumentar su capacidad como promotor de una recuperación económica sostenible post COVID-19. Los hallazgos muestran que el sistema financiero tiene carencias importantes para atender a determinados segmentos empresariales y de población y cuenta con un bajo grado de desarrollo de los mercados de valores y de la industria Fintech. Además, la concentración del negocio bancario en pocos segmentos ha promovido el desarrollo de un sistema conservador, con una reducida oferta de productos y una capacidad limitada para adaptarse rápidamente y ofrecer soluciones innovadoras a otros sectores relevantes de la economía. Reconociendo las ventajas y el potencial que el país ofrece, la modernización del sistema financiero debería centrarse, a nuestro juicio, en varios aspectos clave: la reducción del costo regulatorio, el desarrollo del mercado de capitales como un hub regional, el aprovechamiento de la tecnología para lograr eficiencia y reducción de costos y la mayor profundización financiera e inclusión de aquellos grupos socioeconómicos con un limitado acceso a productos.
Lessons from COVID 19 - What the Virus has Taught Us
Authors: BACHA Obiyathulla Ismath
Published: March 2021

The traditional view, of a linear relationship between the development levels of countries and their ability to deal with problems has been completely changed with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The countries hit hardest by the pandemic have been the so called developed ones of Western Europe and the USA. Equating development to mega cities has been shown to be misplaced. The pandemic has spread fastest in crowded cities such as New York and Los Angeles. Aside from overpopulated cities, ignoring the environment and the need for healthy living conditions are other important reasons for their failure to control the epidemic. Yet, countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and Japan have had very low infection rates relatively, even though most of their populations live in large urban centers. The difference may be due to the extensive practice of using face masks in these countries. The need to emphasize and rely on science and technology to solve the problems of humankind is among the key lessons that the pandemic has taught us. A final lesson the virus has taught us, is that regardless of which country we live in, our well-being and destinies are closely indeed intertwined. A health care crisis anywhere in the world can affect us all and very quickly too.
