Objective: To assess the role of first and second-trimester screening biomarkers pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A(PAPP-A), free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin(free ß-hCG), estriol, alpha-fetoprotein and total β-hCG in the early diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). Materials and Methods: Patients with ICP admitted to Mersin University Hospital for delivery between 2015 and 2019 and had first and second-trimester aneuploidy screening tests performed in the same facility were retrospectively assessed. Randomly 60 pregnant women without comorbid conditions during the same period were included as controls. Data regarding demographic characteristics, laboratory values including free ß-hCG and PAPP-A in first-trimester screening and total ß-hCG, estriol and alpha- fetoprotein in second-trimester screening were compared. Results: There were 46 eligible patients with ICP. In first trimester screening, it was found that PAPP-A MoM was significantly lower (0.89±0.55 vs. 1.94±0.73; p=0.035) while free ß-hCG MoM was significantly higher in ICP group when compared to controls (1.84±0.59 vs. 0.99±0.47; p=0.018). In second trimester screening, no significant difference was detected in aneuploidy markers between groups. For prediction of ICP development, first trimester free β-hCG >1.44 MoM was found to have a sensitivity of 50%, a specificity of 80% and positive and negative predictive values of 33% and 88.9% respectively. Similarly first trimester PAPP-A values <1.075 MoM was found to have 80% and 75% sensitivity and specificity with positive and negative predictive values of 75% and 44% respectively. Conclusion: Low PAPP-A MoM value and elevated free ß-hCG in first trimester seem to be associated with ICP development.

The development of engineering materials is continuously attracting attention from scientists and engineers for numerous engineering applications. The physical properties and wear mechanism of aluminium (Al 6063) matrix reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) particulates at different weight ratios ranging from 0 to 10 wt.% with 2 wt.% intervals were investigated. The liquid route of double stir casting was employed in synthesizing the composites. The wear experiment was conducted using the Taber-type wear abrasion machine. The worn surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), while the intermetallic phases were examined using the x-ray diffractometer (XRD). From the result, the increase in PKSA and SiC lowered and improved the density of the composites, respectively. The percentage porosity values (2 - 2.4%) obtained in this study were found to be within the acceptable limit of less than 4% for metal matrix composites castings. The mass loss and wear index increased owing to the rotating speed and applied load increase, resulting from the occurrence of mechanical mixing between the contacting surface of the sample disk and the machined disc. Adhesive and abrasive wear mechanisms were the major mechanisms observed in this study.
Kariera akademicka „z przypadku”?
Authors: Kurek-Ochmańska Olga , Łuczaj Kamil
Published: December 2021

Artykuł stanowi analizę biografii polskich pracowników akademickich, którzy doświadczyli awansu społecznego: wywodząc się z rodzin o skromnych tradycjach intelektualnych, zdołali osiągnąć sukces w świecie naukowym. Opierając się na danych socjologicznych zebranych w ramach dwóch projektów – 1) wywiadach biograficznych z awansującymi pracownikami naukowymi oraz 2) wywiadach pogłębionych z naukowcami, którzy wyjechali na Zachód, a wśród których dominują przedstawiciele klas średnich i wyższych średnich – pokazujemy, że ci pierwsi opisują swoje życie jako rodzaj „przypadku”, w przeciwieństwie do ostatnich, którzy swoje kariery zazwyczaj planują. Korzystając z zapożyczonego od Ronalda Dworkina rozróżnienia na „ślepy traf” i „traf będący przedmiotem wyboru”, argumentujemy, że – choć przypadkowość jako strategię narracyjną można wiązać z doświadczeniem awansu społecznego – to w historiach życia pracowników naukowych występują różne rodzaje przypadku. Szczegółowa analiza czterech biografii wskazuje, że w kategoriach przypadku rozpatrywane bywają: pomoc „znaczących innych”, pojawienie się we właściwym miejscu we właściwym czasie lub pomoc napotkanych duchownych.

Нами установлено, что качество винограда зависит от применении органоминеральных удобрении. При внесении N90P90K220+10 т. птичий помост производится качественный виноград для свежего потребления пригодным для хранении и транспортировки. При среднем урожай 100ц/га виноград расходует на построении своих органов примерно следующее количество элементов минерального питания: кальция 90-100 кг, калия 60-70 кг, азота 60-70 кг, фосфора 25-30 кг. Если потеря минеральных веществ не возмещается, то плодородие почвы и урожайность винограда с годом убывают. Поэтому ежегодно необходимо вносить в почву органоминеральных удобрений.

Authors: Nalyvaiko Taras
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Management of any systems as a complex social and economic process is carried out within certain structural formations of objects of management, which form their management structure. Modern trends in management processes cause changes in organizational structures of management, causing their evolution and adaptation to the requirements of the time. The study of these processes and the classification of types of organizational structures of management is a necessary condition for the formation of a sample of business entities that will have a common structure that will be reflected in the processes, management methods and the end result. That is why the determination of the evolutionary change of OSM, their classification and structuring is an important prerequisite for optimizing organizational management structures.
Methods. During the research the comparative analysis of organizational structures of management, classification signs on which their structuring is carried out was carried out; F. Lalu's theory, which is based on self-organization, integrity, and the evolutionary goal, is the basis for expanding the OSM typology.
Results. This study analysed the evolution of organizational management structures: identified the stages and correlated the types of OSM with a certain time interval and proposed to distinguish not only traditional and modern OSM, but also future OSU, which are based on the theory of F. Lalu. The classification of OSV is summarized on the basis of: stationary staff, the degree of adaptability and the option of a group approach to solving problem situations, the nature of the relationships between elements of the structure, which are important in terms of adaptive personnel management.
Discussion. Further research involves the analysis of organizational management structures in enterprises in the field of construction in order to form a process of adaptive personnel management.

Drinking water quality supplied to medical services presents significant role regarding the health aspect of the society. Multivariate statistical techniques were applied for the interpretation of data obtained, i.e., cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), factor analysis (FA), and discriminant analysis (DA) to analyze and assess the spatial and temporal variations of drinking water quality in different medical services in Kuwait. This study was generated over a period of 11 years (2007–2017), including 19 parameters at fourteen different sites. Hierarchical CA obtained two groups regarding both spatial and temporal variations. For spatial variations, 14 sampling sites were grouped into Low Concentration (LC) and High Concentration (HC). For temporal variations, 12 months were grouped into Summer and Winter. DA provided better results by data reduction for the large data set with great discriminatory ability for both spatial and temporal variations, as only five parameters were used concerning the spatial variations to afford 68.4% of the cases being assigned correctly, and seven parameters were interpreted for the temporal variations affording 76.1% of correctly classified cases. The applied PCA/FA on the spatial variations resulted in five principle components (PCs) for the LC region, and the total variance is 74.84% and three PCs for the HC region explaining a total variance of 64.86%. For the temporal variations, summer yielded into five PCs with a total variance of 70.6%, whereas the winter resulted in three PCs describing 67.1% total variance. Thus, multivariate analysis provides better spatial and temporal variations assessment in contemplation of effective drinking water quality management and control.

Based on the characteristics of long annual freezing time and short suitable construction period of soft soil in cold region, this paper discusses the feasibility of foundation treatment of soft soil in freezing-thawing layer under freezing condition. The deformation characteristics of soft soil in freezing-thawing layer in Hulunbuir area in China are studied by using two compression test methods, namely, constant temperature and variable load (CTVL) test, variable temperature and variable load (VTVL) test. The compressibility indexes under different temperatures and consolidation pressures are obtained. The research shows that the freezing-thawing soft soil has large compressibility, the maximum strain of CTVL test is 19.89%, and the maximum compression of VTVL test can reach 18.16%. The results of CTVL compression tests show that when the soil temperature is in the range of severe phase change (-1.5℃-0℃), the temperature change has the greatest influence on the compression coefficient of soil. The result of VTVL compression test shows that some additional deformation occurs under the action of low temperature. The additional deformation is further increased when the soil is under high consolidation pressure and in the severe phase change (-1.5℃-0℃).
A study on unpredictable shallow water channel behavior by various multipath patterns and experimental data analysis

In shallow water applications, multipath signal propagation is a major concern for robust communication. Multipath signal propagation is not explicitly seen in the channel, even though it is a main contributor for signal degradation. This fact motivated us to simulate multipath patterns to understand its influence in short-range communication. In this paper, a three-path signal propagation model is presented, where, besides the line of sight (LOS) signal, other two non-line of sight (NLOS) signals contact any point of channel boundary to reach the receiver. In simulation, the combination of eight possible multipath patterns is converged to estimate the received signal. A source fixed in water-tank periodically transmits low frequency acoustic signals 1 kHz and 1.5 kHz to the channel, and the receiver records them. The experiment was repeated for various input signal strengths. It has been observed that the simulation results coincide with the measured values. The good reception is noticed for signal frequency 1 kHz at 2.5m and 1.5 kHz at 1.2m. This study identifies the optimal signal strength for better signal reception in short range, which drives to the establishment of high-quality communication in shallow water.
Vertical vehicle displacement based drive-by inspection of bridge damage with parameter optimization
Authors:   School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney NSW 2052, Australia, Lan Yifu
Published: December 2021

Recently, there has been an increasing emphasis on the Indirect bridge health monitoring method employing passing vehicles, which is regarded as one of the most effective approaches in bridge damage screening. However,few researches have been conducted on the drive-by bridge inspection method using vehicle displacement profile as damage indicator. This paper proposes a new drive-by inspection method based on vertical vehicle displacementprofile with parameter optimization. A generalized Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI) system is built in MATLAB, where the bridge is modelled as a simply supported beam with 10 elements, and the passing vehicle is represented as a simplified quarter car. To improve the result sensitivity to bridge damage, the parameter optimization of vehicle configuration is processed employing the Monte Carlo methods. Results show that the proposed method can successfully detect and localize bridge damage by using vertical vehicle displacement profile as damage indicator only, and its performance may depend on the vehicle configuration. The proposed approach provides merits in simplicity and efficiency, which can be applied widely to the bridge damage detection problems.

Published: December 2021

Background: Cochlear implant is a miraculous surgery to improve hearing in profound hearing-impaired children who derive no benefit from hearing aids and consequently present with speech and language disability. This study aims to explore the parental perspective regarding compliance to speech therapy and its potential benefit in hearing-impaired children with cochlear implantation. This will help understand parental concerns and plan recommendations for providing appropriate speech therapy sessions after cochlear implantation.

Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study using purposive sampling recruited 217 parents of hearing impaired cochlear implanted children of both genders, aged 1 to 15 years. Sample was collected from Audiology Department of Riphah International University, Combined Military Hospital, Bahria Town Hospital and Alam Audiology Clinic, Lahore, Pakistan over a period of 6 months. Basic demographic sheet and self-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. SPSS Version 22 was used for data analysis.

Results: Results revealed that both parents of 120 (55.3%) male and 97 (44.7%) female cochlear implanted children entered the study. A poor compliance was noted with only 88(40.55%) parents got their children consulted with a speech therapist for post implant needs and of these only 75 (84.23%) received regular speech therapy. There was significant association of those who received hearing aid trial and consultation to speech therapist (p=0.01) and length of speech therapy with regular therapy sessions (p=0.03), speech language improvement with the thought that regular speech therapy was important (p=0.04)

Conclusion: By and large parents are not very compliant to speech therapy needs of their implanted children with only 40.55% consulted speech language therapists and remaining remained indifferent. Of the 40.55% who consulted speech language therapists 84.23% followed speech therapy for their children. Study also revealed a significant relationship between regular speech therapy sessions and early speech and language development.

New records of feather mites (Sarcoptiformes: Proctophyllodidae) on tanagers (Passeriformes: Thraupidae) from Brazil
Authors: Hernandes Fabio A.
Published: December 2021

Herein, three feather mite species (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae) are reported from tanagers (Passeriformes: Thraupidae) in Brazil: Proctophyllodes thraupis Atyeo & Braasch, 1966 on Thraupis ornata (Sparrman, 1789), Thraupis palmarum (Wied, 1821), and Stilpnia peruviana (Desmarest, 1806); Amerodectes thraupicola (Černý, 1974) and Amerodectes bilineatus (Berla, 1958) on T. ornata. Proctophyllodes thraupis is herein reported for the first time on the hosts mentioned above. Amerodectes thraupicola is reported in synoxenism with A. bilineatus on the same bird specimen of T. ornata, a new host for both mites. Despite being  described from a Cardinalidae (Passeriformes) host, this latter mite species was subsequently recovered only from tanagers, which reinforces the suggestion that non-thraupid hosts might be accidental records.

Chemical vapor deposition was applied to synthetize nanostructured deposits containing several sorts of nanoobjects (i.e., nanoballs, irregular particles, and nanowires). Analytical techniques, that is, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron dispersive X-ray analysis, selected area electron diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, showed that unlike nanoballs and particles composed of crystalline germanium, the layer was made of chromium germanide CrGex. The nanowires possessed a complex structure, namely a thin crystalline germanium core and amorphous CrGex coating. The composition of the nanowire coating was [Cr]/[Ge] = 1:(6–7). The resistance of the nanowire–deposit system was estimated to be 2.7 kΩ·cm using an unique vacuum contacting system.
Iron-catalyzed domino coupling reactions of π-systems
Authors: Pounder Austin , Tam William
Published: December 2021

The development of environmentally benign, inexpensive, and earth-abundant metal catalysts is desirable from both an ecological and economic standpoint. Certainly, in the past couple decades, iron has become a key player in the development of sustainable coupling chemistry and has become an indispensable tool in organic synthesis. Over the last ten years, organic chemistry has witnessed substantial improvements in efficient synthesis because of domino reactions. These protocols are more atom-economic, produce less waste, and demand less time compared to a classical stepwise reaction. Although iron-catalyzed domino reactions require a mindset that differs from the more routine noble-metal, homogenous iron catalysis they bear the chance to enable coupling reactions that rival that of noble-metal-catalysis. This review provides an overview of iron-catalyzed domino coupling reactions of π-systems. The classifications and reactivity paradigms examined should assist readers and provide guidance for the design of novel domino reactions.

La qualité de la recherche scientifique s’évalue non seulement par son impact positif sur le développement socio-économique et le bien-être humain, mais également par sa contribution à l’élaboration des connaissances scientifiques valides et fiables. De ce fait, les chercheurs, quelle que soit leur discipline scientifique, sont censés adopter des pratiques de recherche basées sur la transparence et la rigueur. Or l’histoire des sciences et la littérature scientifique nous apprennent qu’une part importante des résultats scientifiques n’est pas reproductible de façon systématique (Ioannidis, 2005)1. Cela renvoie à ce qui est communément connu sous le nom de la « crise de réplication » qui concerne aussi bien les sciences de la nature que les sciences humaines et sociales, dont la psychologie ne fait pas exception.

Dans cet article, nous présentons d’abord certains aspects de la crise de réplication et les pratiques de recherche douteuses. Puis, nous abordons la manière dont nous pouvons impliquer plus de laboratoires en Afrique dans la recherche scientifique mondiale, notamment le Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA). Dans ce sens, nous développerons un tutoriel pour les laboratoires en Afrique, en mettant en avant les pratiques de la science ouverte. Enfin, nous discutons de comment rendre la science psychologique plus participative et inclusive.

We introduce a case report of an adult male diagnosed with non-syndromic pheochromocytoma with a first pathological post-operatory report of malignant type with further re-considerations during follow-up for a 6-year period of time. This is 46 - year old male admitted for: post-adrenalectomy status reassessment. In 2013 he was diagnosed with high blood pressure requiring a complex regime of anti-hypertensive drugs to control it. In 2015 he was referred for an endocrine check-up which revealed a pheochromocytoma (noradrenaline type). Computed tomography imaging of the abdomen showed a right adrenal tumor of 28/38 mm, a mass that was clearly contoured, with heterogeneous pattern, and with moderate caption of intravenous contrast. Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy is performed with normalization of high pre-operatory normetanephrines and a dose reduction of anti-hypertensive medication which was still necessary. Pathological report suggested a malignant pheochromocytoma; the initial PASS score of 8 was later re-calculated, and a GAPP score of 5 was achieved showing a moderately differentiated tumor. No genetic backup was identified. Within the first year after tumor removal, the patient suffered a stroke, proving the higher cardiovascular risk than general population even after hormonal imbalance is restored. Lifelong surveillance is the rule.

The incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing. It is currently the third most common cancer, after lung and breast cancer. Despite the increased incidence, recent advances in early detection, performing the screening according to the recommendations and treatment options have reduced colorectal cancer mortality. The role of the family doctor is to advise and to identify non-modifiable risk factors (age, male sex, race, family history, inflammatory bowel disease) as well as modifiable ones (tobacco consumption, low-fiber, high-fat and high carbohydrate diet, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity), in order to avoid these risk factors by developing a personalized plan for the prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer depending on the individual risk. Genetic testing and a more comprehensive family history documentation by the family doctor can enable those with a hereditary predisposition for the colorectal cancer to take preventive measures. Applying evidence-based prevention strategies reduces the prognosis of colorectal cancer and reduces mortality. Colorectal cancer has an increased survival rate if diagnosed early and treated properly.

Sacrococcygeal teratomas complicate approximatively 1 in 27,000 pregnancies, being the most common congenital germ cell tumors in infants. The diagnosis is suspected using ultrasonographic examination and confirmed after a pathology report is performed. The main issue complicating fetuses with sacrococcygeal teratomas is represented by the rapid growth and the great need of blood supply captured by the tumor that interferes with the fetal growth and fetal wellbeing, generating heart failure and, unfortunately, increasing neonatal mortality. Thus, ultrasonographic monitoring is fundamental, to diagnose, closely monitor the growth and vascularization of the tumor and to ameliorate the neonatal prognosis by establishing the proper time of birth. There are specialized healthcare centers that could perform in utero surgery with the aim to aid the normal growth and development of the fetus until term, when a curative surgery is performed to the newborn. In cases complicated with heart failure leading to fetal hydrops, pregnancy termination could be a valuable option for the mothers, as soon as the etiology and the stage of heart decompensation are known. We present a case of a fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma in a 36-year-old pregnant woman, an uninvestigated pregnancy that had a dreadful outcome with neonatal death.
