FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE: O INSTITUÍDO NO TERRITÓRIO DE IDENTIDADE DO SUDOESTE BAIANO
Authors: Silva Daniela Oliveira Vidal da , Nunes Cláudio Pinto
Published: January 2022

O presente estudo busca analisar a categoria formação enquanto um dos critérios para a valorização docente e que é subdividida em inicial e continuada. A análise será realizada a partir do instituído nas legislações brasileiras e nos Planos de Cargo, Carreira e Remuneração (PCCR’s) que são utilizados para garantir direitos e criar estratégias para a valorização docente. O campo de pesquisa delimitado é o Território de Identidade do Sudoeste Baiano (TISOBA) e o estudo segue o viés metodológico da pesquisa documental. Os resultados encontrados nos permitem inferir que, embora o Plano de Cargo, Carreira e Remuneração seja pensado para ser um elemento legal de luta e resistência em favor da valorização docente, em alguns municípios esse documento ainda não se configura, de fato, como tal, visto que este dispositivo ainda não foi implementado e/ou atualizado, o que impacta e causa inconsistências no cumprimento de metas estabelecidas por legislações brasileiras que normatizam a formação inicial e continuada dos docentes.

Increased blood group 2 innate lymphoid cells are involved in blood eosinophilia and itching in Kimura disease
Authors: Tojima Ichiro , Murao Takuya , Nakamura Keigo , Arai Hiroyuki , Shimizu Shino , Kouzaki Hideaki , Shimizu Takeshi
Published: January 2022

Background: Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory
disorder characterized by blood eosinophilia, general itching, and
subcutaneous head and neck mass lesions; however, the etiology of this
disease is unknown. We hypothesized that group 2 innate lymphoid cells
(ILC2s) in peripheral blood may play an essential role in the
pathogenesis of KD. Methods: The prevalence of blood ILC2s and
their ability to produce interleukin (IL) -4, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-31 in
patients with KD were compared with those in control subjects and in
patients with house dust mite (HDM) -induced allergic rhinitis (AR).
Changes in blood ILC2 prevalence, blood eosinophilia, and clinical
symptoms after surgery and steroid therapy were evaluated.
Results: Blood ILC2 prevalence in patients with KD were eight
times and six times higher than those in control subjects and in
patients with AR, respectively. There was a strong positive correlation
between ILC2 prevalence and blood eosinophilia. Patients with KD showed
increased serum IL-13 and decreased IL-31 levels. KD patient-derived
blood ILC2s produced large amounts of IL-5 and IL-13 in response to
prostaglandin (PG) D and leukotriene (LT) D
, compared to ILC2s derived from control subjects and
patients with AR. Surgery and systemic steroid therapy ameliorated
general itching with a concomitant decrease in blood ILC2s and blood
eosinophilia. Upon disease recurrence, blood ILC2 prevalence and blood
eosinophilia increased concurrently with general itching.
Conclusion: Increased blood ILC2s may be involved in blood
eosinophilia and general itching through the production of IL-5 and
IL-13 in patients with KD.

Published: January 2022

Most organisms belonging to the Saccharomycotina subphylum have high
genetic diversity and a vast repertoire of metabolisms and lifestyles,
which explains its ecological versatility. The yeast Lachancea
cidri is an ideal model for exploring the interplay between genetics,
ecological function and evolution. L. cidri is a species that
diverged from the Saccharomyces lineage before the whole-genome
duplication and exhibits a broad distribution across the South
Hemisphere, thus displaying an important ecological success. Here, we
applied phylogenomics to investigate the adaptive genetic variation of
L. cidri isolates obtained from natural environments in Australia
and South America. Our approach revealed the presence of two main
lineages according to their geographic distribution (Aus and SoAm).
Estimation of the divergence time suggest that South American and
Australian lineages diverged near the last glacial maximum event during
the Pleistocene (64-8 KYA), consistent with the presence of multiple
glacial refugia. Interestingly, we found that the French reference
strain belongs to the Australian lineage, with a recent divergence
(405-51 YA), likely associated to human movements. Additionally, species
delimitation analysis identified different evolutionary units within the
South American lineage and, together with parameters like Pi (π) and
FST, revealed that Patagonia contains most of the genetic diversity of
this species. These results agree with phenotypic characterizations,
demonstrating a greater phenotypic diversity in the South American
lineage. These findings support the idea of a Pleistocene-dated
divergence between South Hemisphere lineages, where the Nothofagus and
Araucaria ecological niches likely favored the extensive distribution of
L. cidri in Patagonia.
Transfer accuracy of 3D-printed trays for indirect bonding of orthodontic brackets:
Authors: Bachour Petra C. , Klabunde Robert , Grünheid Thorsten
Published: January 2022

Objectives

To evaluate the transfer accuracy of 3D-printed indirect bonding trays constructed using a fully digital workflow in vivo.

Materials and Methods

Twenty-three consecutive patients had their incisors, canines, and premolars bonded using fully digitally designed and 3D-printed transfer trays. Intraoral scans were taken to capture final bracket positioning on teeth after bonding. Digital models of postbonding scans were superimposed on those of corresponding virtual bracket setups, and bracket positioning differences were quantified. A total of 363 brackets were evaluated. One-tailed t-tests were used to determine whether bracket positioning differences were within the limit of 0.5 mm in mesiodistal, buccolingual, and occlusogingival dimensions, and within 2° for torque, tip, and rotation.

Results

Mean bracket positioning differences were 0.10 mm, 0.10 mm, and 0.18 mm for mesiodistal, buccolingual, and occlusogingival measurements, respectively, with frequencies of bracket positioning within the 0.5-mm limit ranging from 96.4% to 100%. Mean differences were significantly within the acceptable limit for all linear dimensions. Mean differences were 2.55°, 2.01°, and 2.47° for torque, tip, and rotation, respectively, with frequencies within the 2°-limit ranging from 46.0% to 57.0%. Mean differences for all angular dimensions were outside the acceptable limit; however, this may have been due to limitations of scan data.

Conclusions

Indirect bonding using 3D-printed trays transfers planned bracket position from the digital setup to the patient's dentition with a high positional accuracy in mesiodistal, buccolingual, and occlusogingival dimensions. Questions remain regarding the transfer accuracy for torque, tip, and rotation.
A Conversation on an Effective, Straightforward, Quantitative Approach to the Outpatient Use of Insulin
Authors: Davidson Mayer B.
Published: January 2022

For primary care providers, using insulin can present challenges that can be met by a straightforward approach using the following principles. Depending on when it is injected, each component of the insulin regimen has a maximal effect on a specific period of the 24-hour cycle (e.g., overnight, morning, afternoon, or evening). The glucose pattern in that period determines whether the dose of that component of the insulin regimen requires adjusting. Regarding which insulin types and insulin regimens to use, human insulin (NPH and regular) is as effective as analog insulins, and a two-injection intensified insulin regimen is as effective as a four-injection regimen.

Published: January 2022

OBJECTIVES: To describe temporal
trends and correlates of glycemic control in youth and young adults (YYA) with
youth-onset diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The
study included 6,492 participants with type 1 or type 2 diabetes from the SEARCH
for Diabetes in Youth study. Participant visit data were categorized into time
periods 2002-2007, 2008-2013 and 2014-2019, diabetes durations of 1-4, 5-9, and
10+ years, and age groups 1-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25+ years. Participants
contributed one randomly selected data point to each duration and age group per
time period. Multivariable regression models were used to test differences in
hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) over time by diabetes type. Models
were adjusted for site, age, sex, race/ethnicity, household income, health
insurance status, insulin regimen and diabetes duration, overall and stratified
for each duration and age group.

RESULTS: Adjusted mean HbA1c for the 2014-2019 cohort of YYA with
type 1 diabetes was 8.8%±0.04%. YYA with type 1 diabetes in the 10-14, 15-19, and 20-24 age
groups from the 2014-2019 cohort had worse glycemic control than the 2002-2007 cohort.
Race/ethnicity, household income and treatment regimen predicted differences in
glycemic control in 2014-2019 type 1 diabetes participants. Adjusted mean HbA1c was 8.6%±0.12%
for 2014-2019 YYA with type 2 diabetes. Participants
age 25+ with type 2 diabetes had worse glycemic control relative to the
2008-2013 cohort. Only treatment regimen was associated with differences in
glycemic control in type 2 diabetes participants.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite advances in diabetes technologies, medications, and
dissemination of more aggressive glycemic targets, many current YYA are less
likely to achieve desired glycemic control relative to earlier cohorts.

Published: January 2022

Von 2014 bis 2017 wurden intensive Untersuchungen zum Raubmilbenvorkommen (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) und Auftreten der Roten Spinne Panonychus ulmi (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) in ausgewählten Apfelanalgen in Südtirol (Italien) angestellt. Die Populationsdichten der Milben wurden wiederholt an bis zu 50 Standorten im Etschtal und Vinschgau erhoben. In 27 Apfelanlagen wurde im Verlauf der Jahre 2015-2017 die Artenzusammensetzung blattbesiedelnder sowie an Aststrukturen überwinternder Raubmilben eingehend untersucht. Insgesamt wurden 5581 Raubmilben einer morphologischen Artbestimmung unterzogen. Sechs Phytoseiiden-Arten wurden nachgewiesen. Amblyseius andersoni (Chant 1957) konnte an allen Untersuchungstandorten gefunden werden und wies eine Individuendominanz von 80% auf. Ein permanentes Vorkommen von Typhlodromus pyri (Scheuten 1857) und Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans 1915) wurde an 18,5% bzw. 7,4% der Standorte festgestellt. Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans 1930), Paraseiulus talbii (Athias-Henriot 1960) und Typhlodromus bakeri (Garman 1948) wurden sporadisch nachgewiesen. Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor 1954) wurde erstmals am Apfel in Südtirol nachgewiesen. Der P. ulmi-Befall im Untersuchungsgebiet erwies sich, sofern gegeben, als äußerst gering. Eine wesentliche Zunahme der Populationsdichten von P. ulmi und eine diesbezügliche Schadwirkung wurden nicht festgestellt.

Authors: Gaidzhurov P. P , Saveleva N. A. , Trufanova E. V.
Published: January 2022

Introduction. The concept of estimating the dynamic parameters of the “base — weakened layer — block” system is proposed, taking into account the physical nonlinearity of the material and the kinematic method of excitation of vibrations. In accordance with this approach, the physical nonlinearity of the base and block material is considered using the Drucker- Prager model. The weakened layer is modeled by 3D spring finite elements. The verification procedure of the proposed methodology is carried out on the example of the dynamic calculation of the “base — weakened layer — slope” system.

Materials and Methods. The computational experiments were performed using the ANSYS Mechanical software package in combination with a nonlinear solver based on the Newton-Raphson procedure. SOLID45 volumetric finite elements were used to discretize the computational domains. Combined elastic-viscous elements COMBIN14 were used to simulate the displacement of the block relative to the fixed base.

Results. An engineering technique for the dynamic analysis of the stress-strain state of the “base — weakened layer — block” spatial system with kinematic method of excitation of vibrations is developed. The accuracy and convergence of the proposed method is investigated using specific numerical examples.

Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the mathematic simulation performed, it is shown that the developed technique provides assessing the risks of the occurrence of real landslide processes caused by external non-stationary impacts.
Liquid temperature effect on the hydraulic shock wave velocity in polyethylene pipes
Authors: Antypas I. R. , Dyachenkо A. G. , Imad Saed Bakir
Published: January 2022

Introduction. Providing people with high quality drinking water has always come first. However, its transportation through pipeline systems was often associated with some problems, such as the temperature of the water and the environment, as well as the possibility of water hammer on certain pipe sections. This was especially true for systems that use polyethylene pipes. Temperature is a key factor affecting the flexibility properties of polyethylene pipes, and it affects not only the design, but also the investment in the development of water supply networks. The purpose of these studies was to study the effect of water and ambient temperature on the density, properties of the pipe material and the speed of propagation of a hydraulic shock wave in polyethylene pipes.

Materials and Methods. In the experiments performed, the method of field research was used, when tests are carried out on specialized equipment on samples specially made for the pursued purposes. Here, samples of high-density polyethylene pipes were used, which were subjected to tensile tests on a tensile testing machine, and each experiment was carried out three times.

In the course of the experiments, the samples were exposed to certain temperature regimes (both external and internal), while the influence of the hydrodynamic pressure of the liquid in the pipe was also investigated, as a result of the change in time of the liquid velocity in its sections. To do this, the samples were supplied with liquid under a certain pressure in order to find out the influence on the pipes of an effect known as water hammer.

Results. In the course of the research, it was found that the value of the elastic modulus of high-density polyethylene PE100 decreases with increasing water temperature, and the decrease at a temperature of 60° C reaches 60.21% compared to its value at a water temperature of +4° C. Based on the results of experiments to determine the effect of the elastic modulus of polyethylene with increasing temperature, an exponential equation was derived to calculate the value of the polyethylene coefficient as a function of time E = 1.312e-0,01t with the correlation coefficient R2 = 0.988 ; and based on the results of the studies carried out to calculate the value of the propagation velocity of a hydraulic shock wave, an exponential equation was derived as a function of time C = 275.9e-0,01t with the coefficient correlation R2 = 0.987 .

Discussion and Conclusions. In the course of the research, it was found that such a phenomenon as water hammer has a harmful effect on the pipe walls, which, if possible, should be avoided even at the design stage of the water supply network. During the experiments, it was found that with an increase in temperature, the values of the elastic modulus of polyethylene decreased with a simultaneous decrease in the values of the propagation velocity of the hydraulic shock wave.

Published: January 2022

This research aims to see the ability of the FMCE-PHQ-9 test instrument amid the Covid-19 pandemic to measure conceptual understanding, cheating, and depression in students. The research was conducted on 64 physics education students at Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin State Islamic University Jambi. The instrument consists of 47 force and motion material items to fit the Winsteps 3.65.0 program. The analysis results using the Rasch Model showed that the MNSQ Outfit was 1.00 in the person column and 0.1 in the item column. Judging from the ZSTD value of 0.57 for the person and 0.1 for the item, the Points Measure value correlated with 0.4 to 0.85 while the item reliability value was 0.73 and the Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.56. therefore, the test instrument using the Rasch proclamation model found 31 fit items. The analysis results show that the concept ability was poor since, on average, the students could only answer questions with a low index of difficulty category. The research results on the level of cheating obtained data that 100 percent of students were not indicated to have the same pattern. Lastly, for the level of depression, only 16 percent of students did not experience depression, while 84 percent of students experienced it.

Published: January 2022

This study aims to review the ethnoscience studies in science education in Indonesia thematically. From 2010 to 2020, the databases contained 71 relevant articles of ethnoscience studies. These studies belonged to the content analysis theme parameters of method/design, sample, data collection, data analysis, topic, result, recommendation, and location. The results indicated that most of the ethnoscience studies explored the effect of integrating ethnoscience with the lessons to investigate students’ achievement and attitudes towards science. Correspondingly, the investigated studies mostly used Research and Development (R D) and experimental research design. The preferred data collecting techniques were tests (multiple-choice/description), questionnaires, and observation. Moreover, seventh and eighth graders of junior high school commonly employed the argumentation activities in physics, chemistry, biology, and basic concept of science topics. This study suggests the teachers employ different methods (e.g., ethnoscience) to improve concept understanding, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, and motivation in learning science from the primary school level. Furthermore, resources from cultural activities in Indonesia are beneficial for integrating ethnoscience in learning.
La recepción en España de los diccionarios enciclopédicos médicos franceses: el Diccionario de fiebres esenciales (1819) de Lorenzo Sánchez Núñez, traducción y adaptación
Authors: Álvarez Jurado Manuela
Published: January 2022

Los diccionarios enciclopédicos médicos adquieren una gran relevancia en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en Francia y en Inglaterra y desde allí se extendió a otros países a principios del siglo XIX y fue en ese momento cuando tuvo lugar su máxima expresión. En España, sin embargo, el número de diccionarios enciclopédicos publicados fue considerablemente inferior al del resto de países. El auge de la investigación médica en la Francia decimonónica ejerció una decisiva influencia en España a través de la traducción de publicaciones especializadas que fueron acogidas con gran entusiasmo. Esto supuso la recepción de las novedades científicas y técnicas y por consiguiente de la terminología que las designaba. En el presente artículo, analizaremos el Diccionario de fiebres esenciales de Lorenzo Sánchez Núñez. Como explica su autor, la obra es una traducción del artículo «Fièvres» del Dictionnaire des sciences médicales, primer diccionario enciclopédico de medicina publicado en Francia. Nuestro objetivo es abordar la indudable influencia francesa en la conformación del enciclopedismo médico español a través del análisis de la traducción y adaptación llevada a cabo por Lorenzo Sánchez en 1819 de la magna obra lexicográfica francesa.

Published: January 2022

Turbot is one of the most valuable fish species in the Black Sea commercial fishery. The serious, dramatic depletion of the turbot stock and catches that began in the 1980s was caused by overfishing and poor ecological conditions. The state of the turbot stock began to improve in the northwestern part of the Black Sea in 2016. Landings were at their 30-year maximum in this part of the sea. Catches per unit effort (CPUEs) have been at a stable, high level there for the last few years. Average turbot weight and length have also been increasing. The Stock Synthesis (SS3) framework was used in the stock assessment. According to SS3 analysis, fishing mortality (F) reached the minimum level of 0.29 in 2018. The cumulative SPR (Spawner Potential Rate) index was 0.27, which approximately equaled SPRMSY = 0.25. Thus, currently the turbot stock is mostly moderately exploited at a level close to the management target in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. However, the entire Black Sea population has not fully recovered yet.

Authors: Štěpánková Barbora , Mikulová Marie
Published: January 2022

The paper presents a novel and unified morphological description of numerals and pronouns, as compiled for the newest edition of the Prague Dependency Treebank (Prague Dependency Treebank – Consolidated 1.0) and its integral part the morphological dictionary MorfFlex. On the basis of considerable experience with real data annotation and the use of the morphological dictionary, particular changes were proposed. For both of the parts of speech a new set of subtypes was proposed, based mainly on the morphological criterion and its combination with semantic properties and other relevant features, such as definiteness in numerals and possessivity, reflexivity, and clitichood in pronouns. Each subtype has a specific value at the 2nd position of the morphological tag, which serves also as an indicator of the applicability of other tag categories.
Using a parallel corpus to adapt the Flesch Reading Ease formula to Czech
Authors: Bendová Klára
Published: January 2022

Text readability metrics assess how much effort a reader must put into comprehending a given text. They are, e.g., used to choose appropriate readings for different student proficiency levels, or to make sure that crucial information is efficiently conveyed (e.g., in an emergency). Flesch Reading Ease is such a globally used formula that it is even integrated into the MS Word Processor. However, its constants are language-dependent. The original formula was created for English. So far it has been adapted to several European languages, Bangla, and Hindi. This paper describes the Czech adaptation, with the language-dependent constants optimized by a machine-learning algorithm working on parallel corpora of Czech and English, Russian, Italian, and French, respectively.
On Conceptual and Axiological Aspects of the Word Mutter ʻMotherʼ in Context (Based on Corpus Material)
Authors: Braxatorisová Anita
Published: January 2022

This paper focuses on a linguistic image of mother in German languages. It seeks to grasp it through a typical context of the German word Mutter ʻmotherʼ. The research is based on results of distributional and thematic analyses of these words. These analyses are used as a base for reconstructing prototypical characteristics of “mother” and the related concepts used by speakers of German. The paper develops these findings into compiling the most frequent collocations and other (mostly contextual) information gathered by the use of corpus tools. The paper concludes with an outline of unconscious axiological processes used in evaluating the image of mother on the good/bad axis.

This article takes a bird’s eye view of how positive or negative sentiments in the news press about countries and nationality nouns seem to reflect the country’s general income groups. The study focuses on the four income groups classified by the World Bank and their co-occurrence with positively and negatively classified adjectives from the Subjectivity Lexicon for Czech. A search in the journalistic subcorpus of the SYN series, release 8 of the Czech National Corpus, results in a time line covering three decades. Previous research on subjectivity has either focused on other parts of the Subjectivity Lexicon or on fewer adjectives from other languages. In this article, it is argued that the income groups are treated in descending order, i.e., the higher the income, the more positive the sentiment. Even when the most influential groups in the top and bottom are removed, the result holds. Discourse concerning global war and peace, and the security of different nations, is also detected as a result.

Authors: Zumrík Miroslav
Published: January 2022

The paper follows the tradition of research in legal linguistics and into formulaic language, specifically into lexical bundles. The aim of the paper is to describe lexical bundles in samples from the corpus of Slovak judicial decisions OD-JUSTICE by means of quantitative characteristics of the identified bundles and by their comparison with bundles found in two other specialized corpora: the corpus of Slovak legal regulations and the corpus of annual reports by Slovak public institutions. For the identification of bundles, the concept of the h-point was used. Identified bundles are described with respect to their maximal, minimal, average, median and mode values, distributions and ratios. The aim of the paper is to outline an interpretation of these bundle characteristics with regard to communicative function(s) of compared document genres.

The paper deals with the application of conversion coatings for the preparation of surfaces before adhesive bonding of galvanized and non-galvanized steels. The morphology of the coatings was monitored by electron microscopy. The corrosion characteristics of the conversion coatings were determined by linear polarization. Steels treated with conversion coatings were used to form bonded joints using three structural adhesives. The resistance of the joints to undercorrosion was determined following the change in the load-bearing capacity of the joints after exposure in the climatic chamber.

Published: January 2022

The paper is primarily focused on the description of transport of harmful species in concrete such as chlorides on one side and transport of corrosion inhibitors and nanoparticles used to diminish corrosion of steel reinforcement or seal the microstructure of concrete on the other side. The studied processes are helpful in reverting the chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures. The transport mechanisms are summarized with the emphasis on their mathematical description and numerical solution. The paper shows modeling results of the processes including a comparison with experimental data on several typical examples. The efficiency of the methods is shown supported by experimental and numerical results. A good correlation of the models with experiments is achieved.
Investigation of the mechanical and thermal characteristics of an eco-insulating material made of plaster and date palm fibers
Authors: Rachedi Mokhtar , Kriker Abdelouahed
Published: January 2022

The negative impact of the production and use of building materials on the environment has become evident, so in recent decades, to find more sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-cost materials, the last research tends to reconsider the use of natural fibers and traditional building materials. This paper aims to develop a bio-composite based on the southern Algerian region's local materials consisting mainly of plaster and waste from date palm trees. Many properties were examined experimentally through previous research of our team (physical, mechanical, and microstructure characteristics) [1, 2] to characterize these materials. Several samples of bio-composite of plaster configurations with short length (20mm) and eight-weight ratios (0.5% - 4%) of palm fibers were prepared for mechanical, thermal, and physical characterizations. In addition, tested all previous properties on the specimens after 28 days of curing in normal conditions. The results show a clear improvement in the bio-composites mechanical performance (an increase in the bending strength with achieving compressive strength) and their thermal properties, which have been well developed (density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity). To enhance the resistance of palm fibers to chemical degradation in the plaster's alkaline environment and improve the adhesion between them, these fibers were treated with a NaOH solution of 1% concentration. The plaster's composites reinforced with date palm fibers can be qualified as eco-friendly and thermal insulation building materials.
Behaviour of Self-Compacting Concrete incorporating Natural Perlite used as Part of Cement and as Aggregates
Authors: Mansour Sabria Malika , Ghernouti Youcef
Published: January 2022

Perlite, a natural glassy volcanic rock could be used as supplementary cementitious material to reduce environmental pollution and the consumption of precious natural resources in the concrete industries. The aim of this work is to assess natural perlite used as 50% aggregates substitution by volume (sand or gravel) and as 10%, 15%, 20% cement substitution in self-compacting concrete. Workability characteristics and mechanical properties were analysed. Results showed that replacing 50% of natural aggregates with 50% of perlite aggregates or substituting cement with 10% of perlite powder generated the best workability characteristics and improved compressive, flexural strength, and elastic modulus of concrete at 28 days. Moreover, the results were combined to develop correlations that prove to be good between mechanical properties of self-compacting. Using perlite as aggregates offers a new source of supply and saves natural aggregates. Also, perlite used as cement substitution helps to reduce PC consumption, cost, and CO2 emission.

Published: January 2022

The work presented in this paper aims to study the durability of mortars, in which part of the sand has been replaced with rubber aggregates from used tires and have undergone a surface treatment with a sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH). The substitution rates studied are 10%, 17.5%, and 25%. The results are compared with ordinary mortar and mortars with untreated rubber aggregates while samples with the same substitution rates were used. To do this, the following properties have been studied: compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, water absorption by capillarity, water absorption by total immersion, water-accessible porosity, water permeability, and resistance to the chemical degradation by sulfuric acid H2SO4.

The results obtained show that the treatment of rubber aggregates by the solution method (NaOH) presented a considerable improvement in mechanical performance (increase in compressive strength and flexural tensile strength) and better durability compared to reference mortar and mortar with untreated rubber granulate.

Combination therapy with oral minoxidil and dutasteride in the treatment of male patterned baldness: A case report
Authors: Bansod Shashank
Published: January 2022

Androgenetic alopecia is a medical condition with a deep social and psychological impact on the affected individuals and is characterized by progressive hair thinning, leading to hair loss over the scalp in both males and females. Minoxidil in oral form is primarily an antihypertensive drug, whose mechanism of action is not completely known. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, acting on both alpha-1 and alpha-2 receptors. The author combined these two agents for the treatment of male patterned baldness and found that this combination imparts a visible increase in hair thickness, density, and new hair growth in the patient, within a short period causing minimal side effects.
Immune-enhancing agents in autoimmune skin diseases – A review
Authors: Francis Abel , Jose Anjali Rose
Published: January 2022

Immunosuppressive drugs are the main stay of treatment for autoimmune dermatoses. The main disadvantage of these drugs is the increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections. Hence, in recent years, there has been an enthusiastic search for newer groups of drugs that can reduce this risk. Immune enhancing agents are considered as the key players of future. Immune enhancers function by activating various elements of the immune system and thereby amplifying the immune responses. They can be specific or non-specific in action. The main autoimmune dermatoses where the benefits of these drugs have so far been utilized include alopecia areata, vitiligo, psoriasis, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus. Immunostimulants are available in both topical and systemic forms. Topical immune- enhancing agents include contact sensitizers (diphenylcyclopropenone, dinitrochlorobenzene, and squaric acid dibutyl ester), anthralin, topical zinc, and interferons. Systemic agents include levamisole, zinc, probiotics, and so on. The exact mechanism of action of some of these drugs and other autoimmune conditions where they can be benefited is not completely understood. Another therapeutic agent that may come up in the future is individualized vaccines. Let us look forward to the days when individualized vaccines work wonders in the management of autoimmune diseases.
