Published: October 2020

A água é considerada um recurso finito de grande importância para manutenção e subsistência dos seres vivos. O continuo crescimento das demandas torna necessário o desenvolvimento e planejamento de técnicas para supervisão e gestão dos recursos hídricos. Uma considerável parcela disponível de água doce para consumo encontra-se na forma de águas subterrâneas e que precisam ser monitoradas e usadas de forma racional, com o intuito de evitar usos não sustentáveis e explorações descontroladas. Para tanto, existem redes de monitoramento de água subterrâneas, tal qual a Rede Integrada de Monitoramento de Águas Subterrâneas (RIMAS), operada e mantida pelo Serviço Geológico do Brasil (CPRM). O presente estudo versa sobre a aplicação do software Menyanthes neste conjunto de dados como uma forma de atribuir-lhes consistência estatística e lograr preencher lacunas na referida série observada. O referido programa consiste na modelagem de causa e efeito, relacionando o histórico de chuvas com os respectivos piezogramas. Os resultados obtidos por intermédio desta aplicação fornecem perspectivas de normatizar a sistemática de preenchimento de lacunas na rede RIMAS, assim como também caminhos para prognósticos de comportamento freático frente a eventos climáticos como estiagens, similares à ocorrida entre os anos de 2013 e 2015 na região sudeste do Brasil.

Authors: Sharma Ashish , Pyadala Nagababu
Published: October 2020

Background: Nasal surgery followed by nasal packing can be vulnerable due to airway complications like, respiratory blockage and dyspnea. Thus the present study aimed to compare the nasal packing with nasal airway after the nasal surgery for the airway management.

Methods: A total of 120 patients for fibreoptic endoscopic sinus surgery were included in this study. All subjects were equally divided in to 3 groups; group 1, 40 patients with traditional bilateral nasal packing; group 2, 40 patients with 5 mm internal diameter uncuffed ETT in to one of the nostrils and bilaterally in group 3 40 patients. During postoperative period all data were recorded and analyzed by using statistical analysis software 20.0.

Results: In case of group 1 patients cardio-respiratory parameters reported significant variation. Pain and bleeding during removal of nasal airway and discomfort showed significant results among group 1 patients than in group 2 and group 3 patients.

Conclusions: This study showed that the new intervention to manage the airway obstruction has benefits as compared to traditional nasal packing with ease of suctioning, oxygen supplementation.
REVIEW OF "THE ANTHROPOCENE PROJECT"
Authors: Stevens Shannon , Wainwright Richard
Published: October 2020

Here, we engage The Anthropocene Project: a 2019 art event that features photographic exhibits in art galleries and museums, both across Canada and internationally. The project also includes a feature length film, augmented reality, and a proposed curriculum. The Anthropocene Project thematically addresses one of the most pressing, yet controversial, matters of our age: the deleterious effects of human activity on the earth. As a proposed geopolitical epoch, the Anthropocene marks this specific time in history whereby human activity has more significant environmental impact than all other factors combined. The photography that depicts scenes of ecological cost and environmental devastation are deceptively, seductively appealing. We resist the lulling effect of the Anthropocene Project’s visually stunning images that engender a sense of awe at these demonstrations of human engineering achievements on such a large scale. We are left wondering at our species’ prospects of survival when we can become entranced by images portraying events so counterintuitive to our survival as omnivores, as mammals, as oxygen dependent creatures.
REVIEW OF CHANDAN BOSE'S PERSPECTIVES ON WORK, HOME, AND IDENTITY FROM ARTISANS IN TELANGANA
Authors: Walker Amelia
Published: October 2020

This review considers Chandan Bose’s ethnographic study into arts and crafts practices in Telangana, India. Merits of the book include Bose’s nuanced interrogation of ethical complexities in and around ethnographic work, a centring of artisans’ voices through direct quotes, and an emphasis on knowledge as something crucially formed in and through subjective inter-relational connections. Bose draws links between practices of ethnography, art and storytelling. Broaching the book as a collaboration with rather than a study of the artisan community, Bose offers ways of re-seeing research, knowledge, and cultural engagement that will hold relevance across a wide range of fields and practices in and beyond contemporary academies.
The COVID-19 Pandemic: Informing Policy Decision-Making for a Vulnerable Population
Authors: Spence Nicholas , Chau Vivian , Farvid Maryam S. , White Jerry , Rasalingam Paranthaman , Loh Lawrence
Published: October 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted society. Vulnerable populations are at heightened risk for exposure, as well as adverse health and social consequences. Policymakers are operating under difficult circumstances, making crucial policy decisions to maximize impact and mitigate harm, with limited scientific evidence. This article examines the pronounced vulnerability of Indigenous Peoples in Canada to the pandemic. We highlight the importance of moving beyond individual-level risk factors associated with COVID-19 by identifying and classifying Indigenous communities most vulnerable to the pandemic. We propose the use of a social diagnostic tool, the Community Well-Being Index, rooted in the social determinants of health, to predict community vulnerability and potentially guide policy decision-making in the fight against COVID-19.

Authors: Silva Costa Clayton Angelo , Maia Barbosa Paulina Maria , Carvalho Ribeiro Sónia Maria , Corsetti Purcino Henrique Godoy
Published: October 2020

A mineração tem importância econômica internacional podendo contribuir para o desenvolvimento econômico de vários países. No entanto, são bem conhecidos os impactos socioambientais associados a essa atividade. Reconhecendo esses impactos, parte das mineradoras desenvolve programas de Educação Ambiental (EA) por meio de suas ações de Responsabilidade Social Coorporativa (RSC). O recorte geográfico deste estudo foi o município de Congonhas, estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, inserido no Quadrilátero Ferrífero, uma das maiores províncias de minério de ferro do mundo. O objetivo do estudo foi explorar como a atual percepção dos professores e alunos, da rede municipal de ensino, contribui para uma participação crítica nos programas de RSC. Análi­ses qualitativas e quantitativas, incluindo redução de fatores (Análise de Componentes Principais) e de Cluster (K-means), foram empregadas. Os resultados mostram que há desconhecimento dos professores e dos alunos em relação às atividades de RSC e 71% dos professores trabalham Educação Ambiental de forma autodidata, sem formação acadêmica na área. Para que a atual percepção dos atores con­tribua para sua participação crítica nos programas de RSC, é necessário abordar o instrumento percepção nos projetos ambientais por meio de metodologias participativas.
Mury, ściany i sufity Hawany. Reprezentacja przestrzeni w powieści Pedra Juana Gutiérreza „Nic do roboty”
Authors: Szymoniak Ewelina
Published: October 2020

Ameryka Łacińska jest kontynentem, na którym stawiano i burzono przez wieki niezliczone mury podziałów etnicznych, klasowych, politycznych. Społeczeństwem, które boleśnie doświadczyło tego, czym one są, czym jest izolacja, są Kubańczycy, dla których rajska niegdyś wyspa stała się klatką. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie sposobu, w jaki sposób kreuje literacką przestrzeń Hawany, przedstawiając codzienne życie jej mieszkańców, pisarz należący do pierwszego pokolenia Kubańczyków dorastających w rewolucyjnej rzeczywistości – Pedro Juan Gutiérrez. W powieści Nic do roboty [Nada que hacer] (1998), niewidzialne, lecz doskonale namacalne mury dzielące Hawanę na strefy wpływów różnych grup społecznych, rozpadające się ściany i sufity mieszkań nie są jedynie dowodem wszechobecnej biedy, ale zdają się stanowić również metaforę relacji władzy w obrębie społeczeństwa i jego stanu ducha. Z drugiej strony, autor pokazuje, w jaki sposób świadoma jednostka próbuje wybudować wokół siebie intelektualny mur, który odgrodziłby ją od pozbawiającej woli działania nicości. Analiza oparta została o koncepcje mobilności socjologów Zygmunta Baumana i Johna Urry’ego, szkic Elżbiety Rybickiej dotyczący sensorycznej geografii literackiej oraz rozważania Javiera del Prado Biezmy o sposobach przedstawiania przestrzeni w literaturze.
„Kto z nas nie błądzi światłem po tych ścianach”, czyli archeologia wierszy Stanisława Grochowiaka
Authors: Hejman Helena
Published: October 2020

W prozaicznej ścianie, transparentnym elemencie scenerii życia, wiersze Stanisława Grochowiaka pozwalają odkryć konkret egzystencjalny, materię obdarzoną niesamowitym potencjałem hipnagogicznym, kronikę „przedmiotowości”. Ściana w imaginarium poety stanowi zarówno obiekt empiryczny, jak i fenomen, wykraczający poza ontologię materii, co warunkuje jej semantyczną płynność: raz przypomina antropologiczny dokument (miejsce inskrypcji kulturowej/biograficznej), kiedy indziej – substrat surrealistycznej wizji lub tworzywo artefaktu; może jawić się granicą strefy psychicznego komfortu bądź unaoczniać wewnątrzcielesną płaszczyznę, którą – niczym ściany prehistorycznych jaskiń – pokrywają archetypowe obrazy z epoki dzieciństwa (ludzkości). Szkic ten, zainspirowany kontekstami z pola historii sztuki, psychoanalizy oraz zwrotu ku rzeczom, jest próbą rozpoznania znaczeń koncentrujących się „na ścianie” w utworach: „Płonąca żyrafa”, „Malarstwo”, „Zejście” i „Ars Poetica”.

Authors: Araya-Solano Tannia , Villalobos-Rodríguez Ara
Published: October 2020

Como parte de las actividades que se realizan en el sector agrícola se hace uso de vehículos, por lo que se tiene contacto con diferentes agentes físicos como el ruido y las vibraciones de cuerpo entero, debido a esto el objetivo de este proyecto fue determinar la exposición ocupacional a estos agentes durante el uso del tractor, específicamente en labores realizadas en la Zona Norte de Cartago, Costa Rica. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo, se efectuó un estudio exploratorio en 13 fincas, en las cuales se cuantificaron los valores de exposición a ambos agentes, haciendo uso de un vibrómetro y audiodosímetros. Como resultado, se obtuvo que los niveles de exposición diaria a vibraciones se encuentran sobre el valor de acción en el 53,8% de los casos, y los resultados del nivel sonoro continuo equivalente (NSCE) se ubican entre los 54,8dB(A) a 75,4 dB(A), por lo que no sobrepasan el nivel de exposición ocupacional. Además, se identificaron los factores de riesgo relacionados con estos agentes, la antigüedad de la maquinaria y dispositivos colocados en el vehículo, así como los factores personales que pueden influir en la aparición de dolencias, relacionadas con la actividad laboral. Existen otros factores de riesgo en la población en estudio, asociados a las posturas adoptadas y al índice de masa corporal de los colaboradores. Se concluye que la exposición a las vibraciones en cuerpo entero, podría llegar a generar efectos a la salud a largo plazo, además, el dispositivo de acople y modelo se convierten en factores que pueden influir en la exposición.
Parents’ nonstandard work schedules and children’s social and emotional wellbeing: A mixed-methods analysis in Germany
Authors: Li Jianghong , Ohlbrecht Heike , Pollmann-Schult Matthias , Habib Filip Elias
Published: October 2020

Many children live in households where either one or both parents work nonstandard schedules in the evening, night or weekend. Using a mixed methods design, this study examined whether nonstandard work schedules were linked to lower social and emotional wellbeing in children. The quantitative analysis based on the German Family Panel Study (pairfam) showed that children whose parents worked rotating shifts and other types of nonstandard schedules reported elevated levels of emotional and conduct problems. However, not all types of nonstandard schedules were detrimental to child wellbeing: fixed shift work did not have a negative impact on child social and emotional wellbeing. Overall, the effect of mothers’ work schedule on child wellbeing was stronger than that of fathers. The qualitative interviews revealed that nonstandard work schedules made everyday life unsettling and family environment chaotic because it was difficult to plan. Thus, for most families where one or both parents worked such schedules stress was a defining feature of the daily life and parents accepted it as “part of their life”. Families used different strategies to deal with stress and attempted to protect children from it. Contingent on what resources available to them, some families managed well, while others did not cope so well and children were adversely affected.

Razvoj makroekonomije i rezolutivno-kompozitivna metoda
Authors: Lučev Josip
Published: October 2020

Cilj je ovog teksta pokazati svrhovitost upotrebe hobsovske rezolutivno-kompozitivne metode kao uporišta za analizu povijesti moderne ekonomske misli,a naročito makroekonomije. Najprije se obrazlaže važnost rezolutivno-kompozitivne metode u djelu Daga Strpića. Zatim se pokazuju osnovna obilježja stiliziranih pomaka u paradigmama ekonomske misli (neoklasična ekonomija – kejnzijanska ekonomija – slobodnotržišna paradigma) koji u svjetlu ove reinterpretacije dobivaju strukturu rezolucije-kompozicije-rerezolucije. Nudi se i interpretacija povijesti ekonomske znanosti “nakon Hayeka” kao perioda dominacije kompozitivnog elementa, odnosno kejnzijanskih makroekonomskih koncepata koji se oslanjaju na agregate. Objašnjavaju se neoklasična sinteza i osnovne metodološke dvojbe koje je dugotrajna integracija Keynesa u mainstream pretpostavljala (uključujući izbor između agregata i agregiranih pojedinaca u osnovi konceptualizacije makroekonomije). Problematizacijom tih dvojbi prate se komplementarni odnosi dugog roka, pretpostavljene racionalnosti aktera i optimalnih slobodnotržišnih rezultata. Prikazuje se i stanje znanosti na kraju 20. i početku 21. stoljeća, odnosno Lucasovo metodološko zaoštravanje Friedmanovih ideja, kao i dovršeni oblik tog idejnog sklopa u okviru “teorije realnih poslovnih ciklusa”. Ponovna dominacija rezolutivnog elementa (slobodnotržišna paradigma) koji konstituira ideju samoregulativnog tržišta oko savršeno racionalnog pojedinca dovodi nas u stvarne poteškoće: redukcija na savršeno racionalnog pojedinca (rezolutivni manevar) ne bi smjela konstituirati veću cjelinu kompozitivno ukoliko je ta redukcija nerealistična na način koji dramatično ograničava samu korisnost teorije. Stoga se zaključno otvara i pitanje primjene ovih ideja na predviđanje kriza i formuliranje odgovora na njih.
Politička ekonomija u Levijatanu
Authors: Ribarević Luka
Published: October 2020

U magistralnoj studiji razvoja klasične političke ekonomije Robna proizvodnja i udruženi rad u Marxovoj kritici političke ekonomije Daga Strpića veoma važno mjesto zauzima Thomas Hobbes. Prema Strpiću Hobbes uspostavlja novi metodološki i kategorijalni okvir za razumijevanje političke zajednice u moderni. Za razliku od velike većine interpretacija Hobbesove philosophiae civilis Strpić Hobbesa ne čita samo kao utemeljitelja moderne političke teorije, nego i klasične političke ekonomije. U tekstu se političko-ekonomski aspekt Hobbesove znanosti o politici razmatra posredstvom kritičke analize dijaloga koji Strpić vodi s utjecajnim tumačenjem C. B. Macphersona. Strpić usvaja bitne elemente Macphersonove interpretacije fokusirane na e konomske pretpostavke Hobbesova političkog mišljenja, ali istovremeno odstupa od njegova razumijevanja Levijatana. Na toj se pozadini nastoji utvrditi spoznajne domete i ograničenja političko-ekonomskog čitanja Hobbesa koje dijele Strpić i Macpherson.

Published: October 2020

Background: Pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) is a tool for diagnosing malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN); however, the accuracy is insufficient using the conventional method. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) improves the cell recovery rate, and almost all cells can be evaluated. We evaluated the efficacy of PJC with LBC for malignant IPMN. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 90 patients with suspected malignant IPMN who underwent PJC before pancreatectomy. PJC with smear and LBC methods was conducted in 52 patients (between June 2003 to December 2011) and 38 patients (between January 2012 to December 2018). Based on the imaging studies, all of the patients were classified according to the international consensus guidelines for IPMN revised in 2017.Results: Of the 90 patients, 43 (48%) had malignant IPMN (high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma), and the remaining patients had non-malignant IPMN (intermediate- or low-grade dysplasia). LBC increased the accuracy of PJC for the diagnosis of malignant IPMN (smear method: 56% [29/52] vs. LBC method: 76% [29/38]; P = 0.044). In a multivariate analysis, LBC was a significant factor influencing the accurate diagnosis of PJC (odds ratio: 3.52; P = 0.021). Furthermore, LBC increased the accuracy of PJC for malignant IPMN in patients with worrisome features (smear method: 66% [19/29] vs. LBC method: 93% [14/15]; P = 0.043). Conclusions: LBC increases the accuracy of PJC for diagnosing malignant IPMN compared with the conventional smear method.
Transcriptional and Cellular Signatures of Morphometric Similarity Remodeling in Major Depressive Disorder

Published: October 2020

Little is known about how major depressive disorder (MDD)-related anatomical endophenotypes are driven by transcriptomic profiles. Here, we examined a link between brain-wide gene expression and morphometric similarity (MS) remodeling in two MDD samples. MDD exhibited replicable abnormal MS patterns compared to healthy controls. Using spatially-comprehensive cortical gene expression data, we further identified two types of transcriptional signatures of MS remodeling: i) gene specificity, in which closely linked transcriptionally upregulated genes from postmortem samples in MDD, but not in other brain disorders, were spatially correlated with MDD MS remodeling; and ii) ontological enrichment, which identified reliable neurobiologically-relevant ontology terms and pathways previously described in MDD. Finally, we assigned transcriptional signatures to cell-types, which specified microglia and neurons as contributing most to the transcriptomic relationship of MS remodeling in MDD. Collectively, combined gene transcripts and connectome topology provided insight into how microscale genetic molecular mechanisms cause mesoscale morphometric abnormalities in MDD.

Experiencing violence in childhood impacts lifelong health and well-being. Yet being subject to violence at a young age causes enduring psychological, social and neurological vandalism which stops people reaching their full potential in life. Violence against children includes all forms of violence against people under 18 years old ; therefore the purpose of this study is to determine the magnitude of violence against children and associated factors among sampled high school students in Jimma town. Method: Institution based crossectional study was employed among sampled 423 private and public high school students of Jimma town from february15-30, 2018. Self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. A multi stage with proportional to sample size was employed. Result: A total of 419 respondents participated in the study, making the response rate 99%. A large proportion of the study subjects, 57.5 %, were females, and 56.3% were Oromo’s. The study indicates that the prevalence of violence among high school children’s’ in Jimma town is 62.5%. Children who had faced severe physical violence accounted for 14.1%. Pertaining to parental relationships and interactions, the majority of the school children (66.3%) did not have free discussion on reproductive health issues with their parents or guardians. Conclusion: The prevalence of any form of violence in life time (Physical, sexual and psychological) found to be high. Of all children who experienced violence near to half of them encountered mild physical violence. Less number of school children had experience of Kchat chewing and/or alcohol use.

Background The surgery of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy + D2 lymph node dissection (LADG) is widely used in patients with gastric cancer, the purpose of the study is to explore the effect of abdominal shape on short-term surgical outcomes.Methods This was a retrospective study which included 316 patients undergoing LADG from January 2013 to June 2019 at a single clinical center. The abdominal parameters including the shortest distance of the pancreas from the anterior abdominal skin (PAAD), the lower sternum angle (LSA), the thickness of subcutaneous fat at the navel level (SFT), the anteroposterior diameters (APD) and left-right diameters(LRD) at the navel level, the distance from xiphoid process to the navel (XND), and the distance from xiphoid process to the pubis (XBD) were calculated by preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) image. The parameters and short-term surgical outcomes were analyzed.Results In males, the number of retrieved lymph nodes was significantly higher in patients with BMI <25kg/m2 (p=0.023) and APD <176.2mm (p=0.004). The time of operation was significantly shorter in male patients with BMI <25kg/m2(p=0.001), PAAD <64.6mm(p=0.000), SFT <14.9mm(p=0.017), APD <176.2mm(p=0.002) and LRD <290.0mm(p=0.036), and in female patients with XBD >370.0mm(p=0.042). The estimated blood loss was significantly lower in male patients with LSA <83.8° (p=0.009), PAAD <64.6mm(p=0.001), SFT <14.9mm(p=0.001), APD <176.2mm(p=0.009) and LRD <290.0mm(p=0.011). The complications were fewer in male patients with PAAD <64.6mm(p=0.045) and APD <176.2mm(p=0.011), and in female patients with LRD <288.5mm(p=0.047).Conclusion Various abdominal shapes can influence the difficulty of LADG. Lower LSA and PAAD can reduce the difficulty of LADG in male patients.

BackgroundGoat is an important dairy animal. During lactation, maintaining a high proliferative activity in goat mammary epithelial cells (GMECs) is significant to improve the yield and composition of goat milk. Estrogen is an essential hormone in epithelial cell proliferation and ductal morphogenesis of mammary gland. G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) is a novel membrane receptor of estrogen. However, the relationship between estrogen/GPR30 signaling and proliferation of goat mammary epithelial cells has not been reported. And the molecular mechanisms underlying the proliferative effect of estrogen via GPR30 on GMECs remain unclear.ResultsTo investigate the effect of estrogen/GPR30 signaling on GMECs proliferation, goat mammary epithelial cells, which expressed cytokeratin 18 and β-casein, were isolated and identified, defining their mammary alveolar epithelium origination. Estrogen and GPR30 agonist G1 obviously promoted the proliferation of GEMCs, in contrast, GPR30 antagonist G15 partly abolished estrogen-induced cell proliferation. Remarkably, the stimulatory effect of estrogen and G1 on GMECs growth was suppressed by GPR30 knockdown detected by cell counting assay, CCK-8 assay, and BrdU assay, suggesting that estrogen/GPR30 signaling was involved in GMECs proliferation. Additionally, G15 decreased cyclin D1, cyclin B1, CDK1, and p-CDK1 expression, resulting in cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase via a down-regulated phosphorylation of Erk1/2 and Akt compared with estrogen alone. What’s more, knock-down GPR30 led to an accumulation in the G2/M phase and inhibition of cyclin D1, cyclin B1, CDK1, and p-CDK1 expression via a down-regulation of phosphorylated Erk1/2 and Akt despite the presence of estrogen and G1. Furthermore, MEK inhibitor and PI3K inhibitor decreased the expression of cyclin D1, cyclin B1, CDK1, and p-CDK1, and repressed estrogen-induced and G1-driven promotion of cell growth. It indicated that estrogen/GPR30 signaling played an important role in GMECs proliferation by affecting cell cycle progression via MEK/Erk&PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.ConclusionThis study may provide a new insight into the effect of estrogen/GPR30 signaling on the regulatory action of goat mammary gland development.

Published: October 2020

CsPbIBr2, a type of cesium based all-inorganic halide perovskite (CsPe) composition, has been proposed as an alternative perovskite material against the mainstream organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite (HPe) materials owing to its exceptional humidity, thermal, temperature, and light stability. However, the low power conversion efficiency (PCE) due to its wide bandgap (2.05 eV) is an obstacle for its application in developing highly efficient solar cells. In this study, facile nanoimprinted one-dimensional grating nanopattern (1D GNP) formation on mesoporous TiO2 (mp-TiO2) photoelectrode has been introduced to improve the effective light utilization for enhancing the performance of CsPbIBr2 perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The 1D GNP structure on mp-TiO2 layer can not only increase the light absorption efficiency by diffracting the unabsorbed light into the mp-TiO2 and CsPbIBr2 active layer, but can also increase the charge separation and collection due to the enlarged interfacial contact area between the mp-TiO2 and CsPbIBr2 layers. Consequently, both current density (JSC) and fill factor (FF) of the fabricated cells were improved leading to over 20% improvement in their PCE. Thus, we conclude that this periodic grating structure, fabricated by simple solvent-assisted nanoimprinting, can play an important role in the realization of high-efficiency and low-cost Cs-based PSCs.

Background: Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is now available in several world regions to better estimate transmission dynamics. However, to date, there is no epidemiological data regarding anti-SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in Mexico. Therefore, we aimed to determine the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and define the clinical and demographic characteristics associated with seroprevalence in a institutionalized population.Methods: We conducted a serological survey in Ciudad Guadalupe, NL, Mexico. Institutionalized employees voluntarily participated during July 2020. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected at the time of blood sampling to analyze the associated characteristics. IgM/IgG antibodies were determined using a qualitative chemiluminescent immunoassay. We reported the raw and the adjusted seroprevalence for test performance characteristics. Descriptive statistics were used for categorical and continuous variables. Statistical significance was tested using the Chi-squared test, Student’s t-test and the Mann-Whitney. Logistic regression models and the odds ratios (adjusted and unadjusted) were used to estimate the association of demographic and clinical characteristics.Results: Of the 3,268 participants included, 193 (5.9%, 95% CI 5.1-6.8) tested positive for IgM/IgG against SARS-CoV-2. Adjusted prevalence by the immunoassay diagnostic performance resulted in a prevalence of 5.7 (95% CI 4.9-6.6). Gender, city of residence, and comorbidities did not show any association with having IgM/IgG antibodies. A total of 114 out of 193 (59.1%) subjects with a positive test were asymptomatic, and the odds of being positive were higher in those who reported symptoms of COVID-19 in the previous four weeks to the survey (OR 4.1, 95% CI 2.9-5.5).Conclusions: There is a low rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection among institutionalized employees that have continuously been working during the pandemic. Six in ten infections were asymptomatic, and seroprevalence is low and still far from herd immunity. Epidemiological surveillance and preventive measures should be mandatory.
Taylor expansion based stereo image reversible data hiding
Authors: Ying Xinyang , Zhou Guobing
Published: October 2020

The reversible data hiding allows original image to be completely recovered from the stego image when the secret data has been extracted, it is has drawn a lot of attentions from researchers. In this paper, a novel Taylor Expansion (TE) based stereo image reversible data hiding method is presented. Since the prediction accuracy is essential to the data hiding performance, a novel TE based predictor using correlations of two views of the stereo image is proposed. TE can fully exploit strong relationships between matched pixels in the stereo image so that the accuracy of the prediction can be improved. Then, histogram shifting is utilized to embed data to decrease distortion of stereo images, and multi-level hiding can increase embedding capacity. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to some existing data hiding methods considering embedding capacity and the quality of the stego stereo images.

Background: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have been suggested as an alternative source of MSCs. However, the studies on its bone formation ability in oral maxillo-facial bone defect are rare. This study investigated the bone formation ability of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7)-induced hUC-MSCs combined with nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen/poly(L-lactide) (nHAC/PLA) in the back of nude mice and jaw bone defect of rabbit. Methods: The characteristics of hUC-MSCs were analyzed by plastic adherence, cell phenotype and multilineage differentiation potential. Cell proliferation was examined using a CCK-8 assay. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by quantitative calcium concentration, phosphorous concentration, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin (OCN) concentration, mineral formation, and the mRNA levels of ALP, OCN and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe cell adhesion, growth and differentiation. Bone formation was assessed by immunohistochemical staining, micro-CT and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results: The isolated hUC-MSCs expressed CD105, CD90 and CD73, did not express CD45, CD34, CD11a and HLA-DR, exhibited self-renewal potential, and favored osteogenesis and adipogenesis. The exogenously-added rhBMP-7 attenuated the inhibitory effect of the serum-free osteogenic media (OMD) on the proliferation of hUC-MSCs combined with nHAC/PLA, increased the promoting effect of OMD on osteogenic differentiation of hUC-MSCs in two or three-dimensional culture, and enhanced its heterotopic bone formation and jaw bone defect repair abilities. Furthermore, the bone formation of in situ bone defect was significantly superior to heterotopic bone formation. Conclusions: That the microenvironment formed by the regenerative engineered constructs and the in situ bone defect microenvironment closely matched that of the bone tissue in its native state may be essential for sufficient and timely bone regeneration. The endogenously-produced BMPs may serve an important regulatory role in the process. These results paved the way for developing allogeneic hUC-MSCs-based constructs for clinical jaw bone regenerative therapeutic applications.
