An Overview of Available Antimalarials: Discovery, Mode of Action and Drug Resistance
Authors: Tang Yu-Qing , Ye Qian , Huang He , Zheng Wei-Yi
Published: February 2020

:

Malaria is one of the three most deadly infectious diseases in the world and
seriously endangers human health and life. To reduce the public health burden of this
disease, scientists have focused on the discovery and development of effective
antimalarial drugs, from quinine and chloroquine to antifolates and artemisinin and its
derivatives, which all play a profound role in the treatment of malaria. However, drugresistant
strains of Plasmodium falciparum have emerged due to frequent use of
antimalarials and have become increasingly resistant to existing antimalarial drugs,
causing disastrous consequences in the world. In particular, artemisinin resistance is of
greatest concern which was reported in 2008. Resistance to artenisinins has been a
major obstacle for malaria control, and current efforts to curb artemisinin resistance have
not been successful. Based on the current situation, it is urgent to develop more effective
new antimalarials with distinct targets from conventional antimalarials in the world, which
could facilitate to minimize the phenomenon of drug resistance. This review aims to
summarize different kinds of antimalarial therapeutic efficacy, mechanisms of action and
resistance, and proposes new solutions aiming towards further improvement of malaria
elimination.

Authors: Nair Keerthi G.S. , Ravikumar Yamuna , Sukumaran Sathesh Kumar , Velmurugan Ramaiyan
Published: February 2020

Background:

Paclitaxel and spirulina when administered as nanoparticles, are potentially
useful.

Methods:

Nanoformualtions of Paclitaxel and Spirulina for gastric cancer were formulated and optimized
with Central composite rotatable design (CCRD) using Response surface methodology
(RSM).

Results:

The significant findings were the optimal formulation of polymer concentration 48 mg,
surfactant concentration 45% and stirring time of 60 min gave rise to the EE of (98.12 ± 1.3)%, DL
of (15.61 ± 1.9)%, mean diameter of (198 ± 4.7) nm. The release of paclitaxel and spirulina from the
nanoparticle matrix at pH 6.2 was almost 45% and 80% in 5 h and 120 h, respectively. The oral
bioavailability for the paclitaxel spirulina nanoparticles developed is 24.0% at 10 mg/kg paclitaxel
dose, which is 10 times of that for oral pure paclitaxel. The results suggest that RSM-CCRD could
efficiently be applied for the modeling of nanoparticles. The paclitaxel and spirulina release rate in
the tumor cells may be higher than in normal cells. Paclitaxel spirulina nanoparticle formulation may
have higher bioavailability and longer sustainable therapeutic time as compared with pure paclitaxel.

Conclusion:

Paclitaxel-Spirulina co-loaded nanoparticles could be effectively useful in gastric cancer
as chemotherapeutic formulation.
Mechanisms of Activation and Key Roles of SGK3 Under Physiological Conditions and in Prostate and Breast Cancer
Authors: Basnet Rajesh , Basnet Buddha Bahadur
Published: February 2020

The serum and glucocorticoid inducible protein kinase (SGK) family signals downstream
of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) and is made up of three isoforms: SGK1, 2, and 3. respectively,
and their activity is dependent on growth factor activation. Among these SGK families,
one such potential target and a less explored enzyme is SGK3. SGK3 regulates a range of basic
cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, migration and survival, thus playing an important
role in cancer development. These kinase-signaling pathways present both opportunities and challenges
for cancer therapy. In this paper, we reviewed the status of SGK3 regulation and its role in
normal cell physiology and transformation. In addition, the potential roles of SGK3 signal transduction
in breast cancer and prostate cancer are discussed.

Published: February 2020

Background

Mobile health, predominantly wearable technology and mobile apps, have been considered in Parkinson disease to provide valuable ecological data between face-to-face visits and improve monitoring of motor symptoms remotely.

Objective

We explored the feasibility of using a technology-based mHealth platform comprising a smartphone in combination with a smartwatch and a pair of smart insoles, described in this study as the PD_manager system, to collect clinically meaningful data. We also explored outcomes and disease-related factors that are important determinants to establish feasibility. Finally, we further validated a tremor evaluation method with data collected while patients performed their daily activities.

Methods

PD_manager trial was an open-label parallel group randomized study.The mHealth platform consists of a wristband, a pair of sensor insoles, a smartphone (with dedicated mobile Android apps) and a knowledge platform serving as the cloud backend. Compliance was assessed with statistical analysis and the factors affecting it using appropriate regression analysis. The correlation of the scores of our previous algorithm for tremor evaluation and the respective Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale estimations by clinicians were explored.

Results

Of the 75 study participants, 65 (87%) completed the protocol. They used the PD_manager system for a median 11.57 (SD 3.15) days. Regression analysis suggests that the main factor associated with high use was caregivers’ burden. Motor Aspects of Experiences of Daily Living and patients’ self-rated health status also influence the system’s use. Our algorithm provided clinically meaningful data for the detection and evaluation of tremor.

Conclusions

We found that PD patients, regardless of their demographics and disease characteristics, used the system for 11 to 14 days. The study further supports that mHealth can be an effective tool for the ecologically valid, passive, unobtrusive monitoring and evaluation of symptoms. Future studies will be required to demonstrate that an mHealth platform can improve disease management and care.

Metrics for Outpatient Portal Use Based on Log File Analysis: Algorithm Development
Authors: Di Tosto Gennaro , McAlearney Ann Scheck , Fareed Naleef , Huerta Timothy R
Published: February 2020

Background

Web-based outpatient portals help patients engage in the management of their health by allowing them to access their medical information, schedule appointments, track their medications, and communicate with their physicians and care team members. Initial studies have shown that portal adoption positively affects health outcomes; however, early studies typically relied on survey data. Using data from health portal applications, we conducted systematic assessments of patients’ use of an outpatient portal to examine how patients engage with the tool.

Objective

This study aimed to document the functionality of an outpatient portal in the context of outpatient care by mining portal usage data and to provide insights into how patients use this tool.

Methods

Using audit log files from the outpatient portal associated with the electronic health record system implemented at a large multihospital academic medical center, we investigated the behavioral traces of a study population of 2607 patients who used the portal between July 2015 and February 2019. Patient portal use was defined as having an active account and having accessed any portal function more than once during the study time frame.

Results

Through our analysis of audit log file data of the number and type of user interactions, we developed a taxonomy of functions and actions and computed analytic metrics, including frequency and comprehensiveness of use. We additionally documented the computational steps required to diagnose artifactual data and arrive at valid usage metrics. Of the 2607 patients in our sample, 2511 were active users of the patients portal where the median number of sessions was 94 (IQR 207). Function use was comprehensive at the patient level, while each session was instead limited to the use of one specific function. Only 17.45% (78,787/451,762) of the sessions were linked to activities involving more than one portal function.

Conclusions

In discussing the full methodological choices made in our analysis, we hope to promote the replicability of our study at other institutions and contribute to the establishment of best practices that can facilitate the adoption of behavioral metrics that enable the measurement of patient engagement based on the outpatient portal use.

Authors: Kravtsovа V.I. , Vakhnina O.V.
Published: February 2020

Previous studies of the Yenisei delta dynamics in the second half of the twentieth century showed a slight increase in its area, prevailing over erosion. In this work, images from Landsat-7 satellites of 1999 and Sentinel-2B in 2017 were used to study the changes in the first decades of the 21st century. A pre-map was obtained for them showing the land formation areas at the water site (sediment accumulation) and appearing water instead of land (erosion of the coast). Small areas of these changes can’t be displayed on observing maps, but the characteristics of the accumulation and erosion intensity is possible, corresponding to the average annual velocity of the coastline moving.

Published: February 2020

Esse artigo analisa o uso das canções francesas presentes na minissérie televisiva brasileira Presença de Anita (GLOBO, 2001). Como parte da pesquisa de doutorado do autor a respeito do cancioneiro francês no Brasil, a presente obra audiovisual despontou como rico material para debater as hipóteses de como esse repertório se consolidou na memória e no imaginário brasileiro. Notou-se que as canções dos anos 1950-1960 ainda predominavam pelo menos até os anos 2000 como símbolos de música francesa. A cantora Maysa, por sua vez, se destaca como ponte entre a música popular brasileira e a francesa do período citado, criando um possível modelo performático para cantores nacionais que desejam visitar esse repertório.

Расширения Инабы полных полей характеристики 0
Authors: Востоков Сергей Владимирович , Жуков Игорь Борисович , Иванова Ольга Юрьевна
Published: February 2020

В статье изучаются p--расширения полных дискретно нормированных полей смешанной характеристики, где p-характеристика поля вычетов рассматриваемого поля. Известно, что любое вполне разветвленное расширение Галуа степени p-с немаксимальным скачком ветвления может быть задано уравнением Артина-Шрайера; при этом ограничение сверху на скачок ветвления соответствует ограничению снизу на нормирование правой части уравнения. Задача построения расширений с заданной группой Галуа произвольного конечного порядка не решена. В работах Инабы рассматривались p-расширения полей характеристики p, заданные матричным уравнением $$X^{(p)}=AX$$, которое мы здесь называем уравнением Инабы. В этом уравнении $$X^{(p)}$$ обозначает  матрицу, полученную возведением каждого элемента квадратной матрицы X в степень p, а - некоторая унипотентная матрица A над данным полем. Такое уравнение задает последовательность расширений полей, каждое из которых задано уравнением Артина-Шрайера. Было доказано, что любое уравнение Инабы задает расширение Галуа, и обратно, любое конечное p-расширение Галуа задается уравнением такого вида. В настоящей работе для полей смешанной характеристики доказано, что расширение, задаваемое уравнением Инабы, является расширением Галуа, если нормирования элементов матрицы удовлетворяют некоторым оценкам снизу, т.е. если скачки промежуточных расширений степени p достаточно малы. Данная конструкция может применяться при решении задачи погружения расширений полей. Уравнение Инабы задает последовательность расширений полей, полученную последовательным присоединением элементов диагоналей матрицы. Это означает, что, если расширение L/K задано уравнением Инабы, и матрица A выбрана так, что на диагоналях с большими номерами записаны нули, то можно получать расширения, содержащие L/K, заменяя нули другими элементами. В работе доказано, что любое нециклическое расширение степени $$p^2$$ с достаточно маленькими скачками можно погрузить в расширение с группой Галуа, изоморфнной группе унипотентных матриц $$3\times 3$$ над полем из p элементов. В конце статьи сформулирован ряд открытых вопросов, при исследовании которых, возможно, окажется полезной данная конструкция.

В настоящее время существует ряд способов определения трендов и экстремумов на стохастических временных рядах, что неудивительно, поскольку тренды временного ряда являются фундаментальной характеристикой динамики процесса, стоящего за ним. Реальные стохастические тренды совсем не похожи на идеальные математические, посколько в них случаются сбои. Это не смущает исследователя, изначально обладающего адаптивным восприятием фундаментальных свойств предельности, непрерывности, связности, тренда и т. д. Он поймет, когда нарушение несущественно и тренд продолжается, а когда нарушение прерывает тренд.В настоящей работе предлагается новый подход к распознаванию стохастических трендов, основанный на математической конструкции регрессионных производных для конечного временного ряда.

General and Chinese foreign direct investments in Serbian economy and economic development
Authors: Stanojevic Natasa , Jovanovic Zoran
Published: February 2020

This paper examines the impact of Chinese investments in the infrastructure
facilities within the Belt and Road Initiative on the Serbian economy. The
research objectives are to measure the impact of the general foreign direct
investments and the Chinese foreign direct investments on the key indicators
of the Serbian economy, to assess their impact on the Serbian economy in
general, and to compare their effects. The initial hypothesis is that the
effects of the Chinese foreign direct investments on infrastructure are
significantly more favourable than foreign direct investments originating in
other countries, primarily due to the sectors they are implemented, and the
different approach of Chinese investors, which implies the mutual benefit of
partners and long-term interests in a particular country or region. The
impact of the Chinese and general foreign direct investments on several key
economic indicators of the Serbian economy is measured separately and
compared. Since there are several dependent variables involved in the
correlation, the Multiple Variable Analysis is used. The statistical
procedure includes two tests of the statistical significance of the
estimated correlation: P-value, as a part of Multiple Variable Analysis, and
F-test, which is commonly used for small samples. The results show much
stronger and more positive impact of the Chinese investments than general
foreign direct investments, but also point to the direction of a change,
such as increasing of import of goods and services, the reduction of
unemployment, and the increase in the employment rate, as well as the dege
of openness of the economy. Some results can be considered as the general
effects of joining the Belt and Road Initiative, that is, they can have
great significance for all countries on one of the many directions of the
new Silk Road.
Language problem in Ukraine: Between linguistics and politics
Authors: Bukvic Rajko
Published: February 2020

The paper considers a language problem in Ukraine, which escalated in the
still ongoing crisis and was one of the basic grounds for the uprising and
armed conflict in the southeastern part of the country. It presents the
development of the problem in the context of independent Ukraine, as well as
its genesis and development in the period that preceded it. Finally, it
considers surzyk, a specific mixed language phenomenon, which has appeared
and developed like other communication tools in places of contact between
two or many language communities (such as pidgin and creole languages, for
example). In the context of the current political climate, the possibility
of resolving the status of the Russian language and surzyk seems uncertain.
Finite Element Modeling and Critical Plane Analysis of a Cut-and-Chip Experiment for Rubber
Authors: Robertson Christopher G. , Suter Jesse D. , Bauman Mark A. , Stoček Radek , Mars William V.
Published: February 2020

Rubber surfaces exposed to concentrated, sliding impacts carry large normal and shearing stresses that can cause damage and the eventual removal of material from the surface. Understanding this cut-and-chip (CC) effect in rubber is key to developing improved tread compounds for tires used in off-road or poor road conditions. To better understand the mechanics involved in the CC process, an analysis was performed of an experiment conducted on a recently introduced device, the Instrumented Chip and Cut Analyzer (ICCA), which repetitively impacts a rigid indenter against a rotating solid rubber wheel. The impact process is carefully controlled and measured on this lab instrument, so that the contact time, normal force, and shear force are all known. The numerical evaluation includes Abaqus finite element analysis (FEA) to determine the stress and strain fields during impact. The FEA results are combined with rubber fracture mechanics characteristics of the material as inputs to the Endurica CL elastomer fatigue solver, which employs critical plane analysis to determine the fatigue response of the specimen surface. The modeling inputs are experimentally determined hyperelastic stress-strain parameters, crack growth rate laws, and crack precursor sizes for carbon black–filled compounds wherein the type of elastomer is varied in order to compare natural rubber (NR), butadiene rubber (BR), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). At the lower impact force, the simulation results were consistent with the relative CC resistances of NR, BR, and SBR measured using the ICCA, which followed the order BR > NR > SBR. Impact-induced temperature increases need to be considered in the fatigue analysis of the higher impact force to provide lifetime predictions that match the experimental CC resistance ranking of NR > SBR > BR.

Teaching Staff in Bashkiria in the 1950s and 1960s: Solving the Problems
Authors:   Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sultanguzhina Gulfiya Yunirovna
Published: February 2020

The paper discusses the problems of the teaching staff that existed in the schools of Bashkiria in the 1950s–1960s. Similar processes are observed in the Republic of Bashkortostan and at the end of the 2010s. Then, 60–70 years ago, to a certain extent, it was possible to neutralize the shortage of personnel and improve the quality of pedagogical training of teachers themselves. This experience is currently relevant. Positive demographic changes in Bashkiria in the 1950s, the introduction of compulsory seven-year education and the expansion of secondary education, the impossibility of pedagogical universities and colleges of the republic to provide a high need for teacher training, insufficient attention of public education authorities to the training of national teachers, provision of schools, especially rural – these problems caused a number of measures described in the paper, which were taken by the leadership of the republic to improve the current tense situation. The author involved archival and research sources, statistical data; quantitative changes are analyzed for the named problems and individual periods. Significant positive changes were noted in issues with teachers in the republic. However, it was concluded that all the measures taken were insufficient to fully solve personnel problems.

An attempt is made to study the history of the Moscow Metro’s first stage in the overall social and cultural context of the epoch, including ideological patterns and the economic situation. The research examines the design and construction of the first-stage stations from a historical perspective. Both ground and underground facilities of the Moscow Metro are evaluated in terms of engineering, architecture, and art. Each station under consideration is unique and one of a kind and is regarded as a regional cultural heritage site for the people of the Russian Federation. The author concluded that the deep and shallow first-stage stations were built according to standard designs. However, architects sought to design the stations in a recognizable and individual style. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of putting into practice the architectures’ idea while restoring Moscow metro stations. In recent years, there has been a restoration of stations on a scientific basis.
Acculturation in Intercultural Communication
Authors:   Qiqihar University, Qiqihar, China, Zhang Hongli
Published: February 2020

There is a question of the multiple types of intercultural communication, the mutual influence of cultures in the era of globalization. The specific term acculturation, associated with the influence of cultures on each other (ethnocultures here are mainly considered here) with a significant change in one or both of them, while maintaining a significant difference between cultures, is popular among specialists engaged in such phenomena. Considering this term in the framework of this paper, mainly in connection with social rather than personal phenomena, the author nevertheless concludes that there is a need for an ethical balance between cultures at the level of personal of intercultural communication. The author draws attention to the crisis of politics and the theory of multiculturalism of the West that does not take into account the complexity of culture as such, the complexity of intercultural communication, and does not essentially aspire to the necessary ethical balance in the field of contact between people of different nationalities in the modern world. It is also concluded that the moral force of culture is capable, if desired, to resist unnecessary influences, undergoing changes only to the extent that is necessary in certain historical conditions. It is this factor that mainly contributes to the preservation of the existing wealth of cultures in the modern world.

Authors:   branch of the National Research University “Moscow Power Engineering Institute” in Volzhsky, Savin Valery Viktorovich
Published: February 2020

The study considers philosophical questions on the problems of matter, identifies prospects for the further development of the cognitive potential of the philosophy of matter in the context of cosmic autotrophy. An explanation of the origin of the diverse world of matter is given. Some theoretical positions of the classics of philosophy about matter are studied. The system of scientific principles of the idea of space autotrophy, which reflects the laws of space, nature, man, matter, is substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of matter, its essential characteristics, and the ability to autotrophy. Modern ideas that not matter, but information underlies the structure of the Universe, expressed by V.D. Plykin reveal the author’s potential in studying the problem of the Universe’s deployment according to the laws of the spiral of a discrete Fibonacci number series. The material makes it possible to understand the anomalous phenomena on our planet and in the Universe, which modern science is not yet able to explain. The knowledge of the autotrophic essence of matter, the laws of resonance of micro- and macrostructures of the universe, discovered by the author, forms a new look at the assessment of the ontological problems of matter.

Bacteria promote growth by different mechanisms like phosphate (Pi) solubilization, Indol Acetic Acid (IAA) synthesis and siderophores production. The purpose of this study was to isolate bacteria that promote the growth of plants and may also act as antagonistic organisms of plant pathogens. Pi solubilizing microorganisms that were isolated from the soils of Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires; were also able to synthesize IAA and produce siderophores. The ability of these bacteria to solubilize Pi was directly related with the synthesis of organic acids that lowered the pH and was not related with phosphatase activity. The ability of the organisms to solubilize Pi was indirectly related with the amount of soluble Pi present in the media. Though Pi solubilizing microorganisms are mainly associated with the rhizoplane exudates, in this case did not induce Pi solubilization. In addition to promote plant growth, these bacteria proved to be antagonistic of plant pathogens such as Fusarium graminearum and F. solani.
Indicadores de Heterogeneidad vegetal. Una herramienta para evaluar el potencial de regulación biótica en agroecosistemas hortícolas del periurbano platense, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: Fernández Valentina , Marasas Mariana , Sarandón Santiago
Published: February 2020

El modelo productivo que predomina en el Cinturón Hortícola de La Plata, tuvo, como consecuencia impactos negativos ecológicos, económicos y sociales. Uno de los principales problemas ecológico-productivos es la incidencia de plagas y el uso creciente de pesticidas. El componente vegetal de la agrobiodiversidad puede promover mecanismos de regulación biótica que eviten la aparición de plagas, aunque la evaluación de dicho componente no es sencilla. Se construyeron indicadores para predecir, a partir del análisis de la heterogeneidad vegetal, el potencial del sistema para proveer los mecanismos de regulación biótica de plagas, y se evaluaron en dos fincas contrastantes: manejo convencional y agroecológico. Se organizaron dos categorías, que agrupan indicadores relacionados al control “Botton up” y “Top down” de plagas. Se obtuvieron 22 indicadores estandarizados y ponderados. Los indicadores propuestos resultaron apropiados para medir el potencial de regulación biótica de plagas a partir de la heterogeneidad vegetal del agroecosistema y detectar diferencias entre los dos sistemas productivos. Estas diferencias se observaron tanto en el potencial de regulación biótica en general como en sus dos dimensiones (top down - y bottom up) analizadas. Los mayores valores se observaron en el sistema de manejo agroecológico respecto al convencional. Esta herramienta constituye un aporte para encontrar soluciones al problema del control de plagas principalmente en sistemas hortícolas familiares.

Study of Integrated Social Vulnerability Index SoVIint of Hilly Region of Uttarakhand, India
Authors: Kumar Dilip , Kumar Bhattacharjya Rajib
Published: February 2020

The hilly regions of India have suffered many disasters, both natural and anthropogenic. In the hilly state like Uttarakhand, the hazards like flash flood, forest fires, and landslide affect the community at the large scale. These hazards cause severe physical injuries, loss of life, and at large scale property damage. To understand the impact of such natural hazards, we need to examine vulnerability of the society, so that we can define vulnerability as the status of a community to prevent, mitigate, prepare for or respond to a natural and a man-made hazard. The absence of coping strategies, which is also known as resilience, has altered the vulnerability of a community. Thus, vulnerability index of a community has to be calculated considering physical, social, economic and environmental factors associated with the community. This research paper tries to find out an integrated social vulnerability factor. The proposed integrated social vulnerability factor is determined by considering various factors, such as physical, social, economic, and environmental. All these factors increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards. Poverty, occupation, child population, literacy rate, disability, marginalization, and inequities in wealth distribution of a society or community will also change the social vulnerability. Proposed Integrated social vulnerability index for the hilly terrain of Uttarakhand incorporated local technical knowledge insight and skills, so that local people and local administration are able to identify problems and can offer a solution to resist future emergencies i.e. the proposed social vulnerability indicator will support state, local, and traditional disaster management officials to determine areas of the most sensitive populations and better mitigation operation can be performed in case of disaster.
