The Relationship between Academic Clustering and Athletic Academic Support Center Reporting Lines in NCAA FBS Programs
Authors: Watkins Jim , Slater Kelsey , Chang Leslie
Published: March 2022

This article investigates whether an association existed between the clustering of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) student-athletes and the reporting lines of athletic academic support departments at their institutions during the 2017-18 academic year. Academic reform groups and university faculty members have argued that student-athletes cluster into a major at a higher rate when athletic academic support departments report to athletic department officials instead of university administrators not employed by athletics. The authors contacted athletic academic support directors at NCAA Division I FBS institutions to determine whether their departments reported to an administrator employed by or outside of the athletic department. Then, the authors used annual football media guides provided by athletic departments to ascertain the amount of student-athletes that were enrolled in each academic major. Finally, the authors used an ANOVA to calculate whether an association existed between an athletic academic support department’s reporting lines and the rate that football student-athletes clustered into one or more majors. The results indicated that the association between the rate that football student-athletes clustered into one or more majors and the reporting lines used by athletic academic support departments at their institutions was insignificant.

Published: March 2022

Currently, one of the key methods of treating a patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction is to restore blood flow to the infarct-related artery as quickly, completely and steadily as possible. However, in some cases, it is not possible to achieve adequate myocardial reperfusion, despite the restoration of coronary blood flow. This phenomenon was named no-reflow. Due to the lack of a unified approach to the diagnosis of no-reflow, its occurrence varies widely – from 2 to 44 %. Failure to achieve adequate myocardial perfusion leads to a higher mortality rate – from 7.4 to 30.3 %, as well as to more aggressive remodeling of the myocardium. For a long time, distal embolization in percutaneous coronary intervention was considered one of the leading mechanisms. However, the routine use of protective devices did not show a pronounced effect on the outcome and prognosis, although it is justified in certain clinical situations. Ischemic injury directly plays a significant role due to overload of cardiomyocytes with calcium, cellular edema, necrosis and apoptosis, which is significantly aggravated by myocardial reperfusion and forms obstruction at the level of the microcirculatory bed. More data is being accumulated about immune-mediated injury through activation of cellular immunity, intense inflammation and thrombosis in situ. Despite the success in the animal experiment, the clinical use of certain groups of drugs showed an ambiguous results. According to the latest recommendations European Society of Cardiology / European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (ESC / EACTS) 2018, GPIIb / IIIa platelet receptor inhibitors are recommended in the case of no-reflow. Besides this, according to the literature nicorandil and sodium nitroprusside, as well as IL-1β antagonists, seem to be promising. As a non-drug therapy, selective intracoronary hypothermia also has shown its effectiveness and safety in a pilot study. To date, it is clear that the no-reflow phenomenon is a manifestation of a complex cascade of reactions, including ischemic, reperfusion and immune-related injury, as well as distal embolization. Considering its significant contribution to the frequency of adverse outcomes and late complications, it seems necessary to introduce unified approaches to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of no-reflow, which requires high-quality clinical studies.

Authors: Gabdrakhmanova Aniya F. , Kurbanov Sadyrbek A.
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Development and testing of drugs with regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. It is advisable using them in keratopathy development and impairments of trophic processes, at the action of preservatives against the background of long-term local IOP-lowering therapy for glaucoma, as well as in the presence of a surgical wound in the area of the procedure, the last causing discomfort in many patients, foreign body sensation, and ocular irritation during the postoperative period in glaucoma treatment.
AIM: To evaluate the effect of ophthalmic drug films (ODF) with 6-methyl-3- (thietan-3-yl)uracil and methyluracil on the thickness of the corneal epithelium after experimental chemical burn.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A histomorphological analysis of the cornea of 17 rabbits (34 eyes) of the Chinchilla breed after experimental chemical burn was carried out, the wound healing and keratoprotective properties of ophthalmic drug films were evaluated. Ophthalmic drug films with 6-methyl-3-(thietan-3-yl)uracil were placed in right eyes of 15 rabbits, and those with methyluracil were placed in left eyes of same rabbits. Two rabbits (4 eyes) served as control: their right eyes were left without wound healing therapy, while left eyes received dexpanthenol 5% gel (Corneregel) 4 times a day. The animals were followed-up for 21 days, morphological changes in the cornea were assessed on the 2nd, 7th, 14th and 21st days of the study.
RESULTS: Different results were obtained depending on the ODF used. The use of ODF with methyluracil on days 27 led to an increase in the thickness and the number of epithelial layers compared to ophthalmic drug films with 6-methyl-3-(thietan-3-yl)uracil, where epithelial reactivity was observed by 14 days. On the 21st day of follow-up, the microscopic picture of the cornea in the right and the left eyes was characterized by total restoration and healing of the corneal epithelium.
CONCLUSIONS: Ophthalmic drug films therapy with methyluracil and 6-methyl-3-(thietan-3-yl)uracil leads to histologically correct and rapid epithelialization of the cornea after a chemical burn.
NLRP3 İnflamazom Aktivasyon ve Düzenleme Mekanizmalarına Genel Bir Bakış
Authors: ŞAKER Dilek , POLAT Sait
Published: March 2022

Doğal bağışıklık sistemi, vücuda giren patojenlere karşı konakçı savunmasında hayati önem taşır. Doğal bağışıklık sisteminin bir bileşeni olan NLRP3 (NACHT-, LRR- ve pirin alanı içeren 3) inflamazom, multimerik bir protein kompleksidir. İnflamazom aktivasyonu klasik enflamatuvar cevaplardan farklı olarak başlayan ve gelişen bir süreçtir. NLRP3 inflamazom aktivasyonunun oluşması için DAMP'ler (Hasarlanma ile ilişkili moleküler modeller) ve PAMP'ler (Patojenle ilişkili moleküler modeller) gibi çeşitli tehlike sinyallerinin olması gerekir. Bu uyaranlara yanıt olarak, kaspaz-1 aktive olur. Aktif kaspaz-1 de, IL-1β (interlökin-1β) ve IL-18 (interlökin-18) sitokinlerinin öncül halde bulunan formlarını proteolitik olarak böler ve aktif hale getirir. Böylece IL-1β ve IL-18 aracılı enflamatuvar yanıtlar aktive olur. NLPR3 aktivasyonu önemli bir bağışıklık cevabı olmasına rağmen aşırı aktivasyonu enflamatuvar hastalıklara ve hücre ölümüne neden olabilmektedir. Bu nedenden dolayı, NLRP3 inflamazomunun regülasyonu ve inhibisyonu otoenflamatuvar hastalıklar için umut verici bir tedavi yaklaşımı olabilir. Bu derlemede, NLRP3 inflamazom aktivasyon mekanizmaları hakkındaki mevcut anlayışın yanı sıra standart olmayan ve alternatif inflamazom yolaklarındaki son gelişmeler sunulmuştur.

Published: March 2022

İnvaziv olmayan prenatal test, tarama testi olarak çok yüksek duyarlılık ve özgüllüğe sahip olmakla birlikte az da olsa yanlış pozitif ve yanlış negatif sonuçlar bildirilmektedir. Bu test gebeliğin erken haftalarında yapılmasından dolayı invaziv test girişim ihtiyacını azaltmakta, yaygınlığı ve kapsamı giderek artmaktadır. Ancak bu testin tıbbi sebepler dışında da yapılabiliyor olması önemli etik sorunlara ve tartışmaya sebep olmaktadır. Gebelere sunulan invaziv olmayan prenatal testin optimum olabilmesi için danışmanlık ve bilgilendirilmiş onam oldukça önemlidir. Zarar vermekten kaçınma, eşitlik, kapsayıcılık, gebe ve eşinin, özerk ve baskı altında kalmadan seçim yapması gibi etik konuların irdelenmesi gerekmektedir.

Endoplazmik retikulum (ER), sekretuar yolağın ilk kompartımanı olup eritrosit ve sperm hücreleri gibi oldukça özelleşmiş ökaryotik hücreler hariç büyük ölçüde tüm hücrelerde bulunan, çift katmanlı membranöz intraselüler bir organeldir. ER birçok hücresel fonksiyona dahil olmaktadır. Hücresel proteinlerin yaklaşık 1/3’ünün üretiminde ve katlanmasında görev alıp hücresel homeostazın devamlılığını sürdürmekle görevlidir. Protein üretim fabrikası gibi çalışması yanında, Ca+2 depolama ve düzenleme, lipit üretme ve depolama ve glikoz metabolizması işlemlerine de dahil olmaktadır. Bu görevlerin yanında ER homeostazını sürdürebilmek için, ER stres sinyal yolakları olan “Katlanmamış Protein Cevabı” ile hücre homeostazı sağlanmaya çalışılır. ER homeostazı, hatalı ya da katlanmamış protein katlanması ve mutant protein birikmesinin dahil olduğu birçok patolojik olayla ilişkili olarak ER stresine sebebiyet verebilmektedir. Bu derlemede endoplazmik retikulumun katlanmamış protein cevabı ve katlanmamış protein cevabı ile ilişkili hastalıklar tartışılmıştır.

Authors: He Xijun , Yang Dinghui , Qiu Chujun , Zhou Yanjie , Ma Xiao
Published: March 2022

The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is a numerical algorithm that is widely used in various fields. It has high accuracy and low numerical dispersion with advantages of easy handling boundary conditions and good parallel performance. In this study, we develop an efficient parallel weighted Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (WRKDG) method on unstructured meshes for solving 3D seismic wave equations. The DG method we use is based on the first-order formulation of a hyperbolic system with an explicit weighted Runge–Kutta time discretization. We describe the numerical scheme and parallel implementation in detail, and analyze the stability condition and numerical dispersion and dissipation. We carry out a convergence test on unstructured meshes and investigate the parallel efficiency of the implementation of the WRKDG method. The speedup curve shows that the method has good parallel performance. Finally, we present several numerical simulation examples, including acoustic and elastic wave propagations in isotropic and anisotropic media. Numerical results further verify the effectiveness of the WRKDG method in solving 3D wave propagation problems.

Several vaccines have been developed and tested against COVID-19 around the globe. Vaccine hesitancy and misinformation poses major challenges to the achievement of coverage and population immunity. Understanding key determinants that influence the preferences and demands of a COVID-19 vaccine by the community may help to develop strategies for improving coverage.

To assess willingness for the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and identify the factors associated with it.

A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among unvaccinated general population of Uttar Pradesh, Northern India adopting an exponential, non-discriminative snowball sampling technique. A bilingual, self-administered anonymous structured questionnaire in google form was designed and sent to the study participants through social media platforms. Data collected were extracted in excel sheets and analyzed using SPSS software, version 21.0. Bivariate analysis was performed to identify the key determinants for vaccine acceptance among the participants.

Out of 254 participants completing the questionnaire, 219 (86.2%) showed willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, whereas 10 (4.0%) admitted hesitancy and 25 (9.8%) were not sure. Younger age-group (18-44 years), female gender, absence of any co-morbidity, lower education level, current employment status, positive history of confirmed COVID-19 infection in the person and positive history of confirmed COVID-19 infection in any family member/friend were the factors found to be significantly associated with the willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

During the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India, high acceptance for COVID-19 vaccination was found among the general population of Uttar Pradesh, whereas concerns about vaccine safety may hinder the actual vaccine uptake.

(1). Mass vaccination against COVID-19 is one of the effective way of controlling the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 (2). There is a variable acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in different populations and sub-groups across the globe (3). Vaccine hesitancy for COVID-19 vaccines can disrupt the efforts for containment of the pandemic.

(1) Acceptance for COVID-19 vaccines among the general population of a North Indian state is seemingly high; (2). However, concerns about vaccine safety may hinder the actual vaccine uptake; (3).

Published: March 2022

Mankind has been dependent on water for its survival since its inception. However, despite such protracted association with water humans could not develop the ability to survive in water resulting in mishap termed as drowning. Drowning is defined as a form of asphyxia due to submersion in a liquid. Drowning can be further classified into typical or wet drowning and atypical or Dry drowning. Typical or wet drowning can be identified by postmortem changes in the lungs and respiratory tract. Moreover, diatom test can provide an additional supportive evidence for the same. However, the tables turn in cases of atypical or dry drowning where although the external examination may be suggestive of drowning, neither the internal dissection of body shows typical changes in lungs, nor the diatom test is supportive. One such case which was presented to the authors is being shared herewith.

Published: March 2022

Land-use change entails changes in existing land use usually guided by spatial planning laws and the pollical influence of the state. The paper examined the impact of spatial strategies, laws, and policies on land-use change in Elim. A qualitative case study method was used to achieve the study’s purpose. Historical review of laws and satellite images of Elim in 1964, 1985, 1993, 2002, 2014, and 2020 were used to identify the impact of the rules and the extent of the land-use changes from 1964 to 2020. The study revealed that apartheid laws for creating exclusive homelands and townships for blacks significantly impacted Elim’s spatial pattern. The statutes produced displaced urbanization in homelands represented by large townships, betterment policy modernized traditional villages into compact villages with modernist characteristics, and Integrated Development Planning managed to integrate urban and rural areas to transform Elim into a mixed-use neighborhood. The analysis demonstrated that integrated and spatial development plans could guide development without zoning in rural areas, particularly in communal areas, to promote integration and create mixed-use neighborhoods. Modernist planning adopted a top-down approach, while the integrated development strategy embraces a bottom-up approach. The study will assist planners and lawmakers improve the spatial planning process.

Laryngectomy is a common treatment of locoregionally advanced (stage III and IV) laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. Surgical treatment causes both vital (breathing, swallowing) and communicative (voice, smell) functions disorder. The degree of recovery of these functions affects the patient’s quality of life, the return to work, and the ability to be an active member of society. The most important role for psychosocial adaptation is played by the restoration of voice function. However, it is not the only direction in the rehabilitation of laryngectomized patients. Correction of the respiratory, swallowing, and olfactory disorders is also important and requires a multidisciplinary team of specialists. The article provides an overview of main methods of restoring lost functions after laryngectomy in historical retrospective.

Specyfika użycia CAQDAS w praktyce badawczej wymaga swoistego rygoryzmu metodologicznego w procesie gromadzenia i archiwizacji danych oraz dokładności i precyzji w procesie kodowania, analizy i wizualizacji danych jakościowych. Zastosowanie komputerowej analizy danych jakościowych w praktyce badawczej kształtuje nie tylko ramy interpretacji socjologicznej, ale przede wszystkim zmienia optykę i sposób percepcji problemów badawczych. Istotą tego procesu jest swoista interakcja pomiędzy nowymi technologiami a tradycyjną metodologią analizy danych i prowadzenia badań jakościowych. W tym sensie korzystanie z CAQDAS w praktyce badań jakościowych kształtuje osobowość i tożsamość badacza jakościowego, jego styl pracy i warsztat analityczno-badawczy oraz sprzyja rozwijaniu nowych umiejętności analitycznych i informatycznych, bez których trudno wyobrazić sobie współczesne jakościowe badania socjologiczne.
„Analiza sentymentu” – metoda analizy danych jakościowych. Przykład zastosowania oraz ewaluacja słownika RID i metody klasyfikacji Bayesa w analizie danych jakościowych
Authors: Tomanek Krzysztof
Published: March 2022

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja podstawowych metod klasyfikacji jakościowych danych tekstowych. Metody te korzystają z osiągnięć wypracowanych w takich obszarach, jak przetwarzanie języka naturalnego i analiza danych nieustrukturalizowanych. Przedstawiam i porównuję dwie techniki analityczne stosowane wobec danych tekstowych. Pierwsza to analiza z zastosowaniem słownika tematycznego. Druga technika oparta jest na idei klasyfikacji Bayesa i opiera się na rozwiązaniu zwanym naiwnym klasyfikatorem Bayesa. Porównuję efektywność dwóch wspomnianych technik analitycznych w ramach analizy sentymentu. Akcentuję rozwiązania mające na celu zbudowanie trafnego, w kontekście klasyfikacji tekstów, słownika. Porównuję skuteczność tak zwanych analiz nadzorowanych do skuteczności analiz zautomatyzowanych. Wyniki, które prezentuję, wzmacniają wniosek, którego treść brzmi: słownik, który w przeszłości uzyskał dobrą ocenę jako narzędzie klasyfikacyjne, gdy stosowany jest wobec nowego materiału empirycznego, powinien przejść fazę ewaluacji. Jest to, w proponowanym przeze mnie podejściu, podstawowy proces adaptacji słownika analitycznego, traktowanego jako narzędzie klasyfikacji tekstów.
Jak socjologowie mogą skorzystać na praktyce medytacji?
Authors: Konecki Krzysztof T.
Published: March 2022

Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie problematyki medytacji jako narzędzia pomocnego w pracy badawczej i analitycznej socjologa. Przyjęta w artykule forma medytacji pochodzi z tradycji buddyzmu zen. Sama technika medytacyjna wnosi pewne inspiracje natury epistemologicznej i metodologicznej wywodzące się z tradycji filozofii buddyjskiej. W artykule opisano podstawowe założenia i praktykę medytacji buddyjskiej (zen). Ponadto odniesiono je do niektórych pojęć socjologicznych i metodologii badań socjologicznych. Wprowadzono temat dekonstrukcji pojęć przy pomocy praktyki medytacyjnej oraz problematykę rozwijania kompetencji intuicyjnych w arsenale podręcznych narzędzi wspomagających badacza/analityka jakościowego w jego przedsięwzięciach. Na koniec pokazano metody jakościowe, w których pomocna może okazać się medytacja ‒ jako część procesu badawczego i analitycznego.
Correlations between selected fatness indices and total body fat estimated by means of the impedance method
Authors: Socha Małgorzata
Published: March 2022

The aim of the present work was the evaluation of measures of total body fat and distribution of adipose tissue, including the new conicity index, and their correlation with total body fat (in kg and %) estimated by means of the impedance method. Moreover, attention was paid to the bilateral differentiation of fat distribution. The basis for the analyses and comparisons was a group of 186 females of various age. Using cluster analysis and factor analysis for fatness measures, it was shown that the measures under study form two distinctly separate groups referring to different aspects of fatness: total body fat, and adipose tissue distribution.
Urbanisation factor as a modifier of phenotypic development
Authors: Kosińska Magdalena , Kaliszewska-Drozdowska Maria D.
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the research was to analyse the causes of the physical development differentiation of children (boys) coming from localities characterised by different degree of urbanisation. The material was collected over a span of ten years, from 1980 to 1990. It covered anthropometric measurements and data of an inquiry. The results confirmed the influence of the urbanisation variable. Urbanisation may be treated both as a socio-economic variable and as a life style variable. Cities create conditions for better development, which may be due to the fact that they are characterised by the stability of advantageous conditions.

Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom: Employment Status Following Traumatic Amputation
Authors: Hawley Carolyn E. , Armstrong Amy J. , Darter Benjamin J. , Sima Adam , Fields Kevin
Published: March 2022

Purpose:

The population of veterans experiencing traumatic amputation grows at a rate disproportionate to the general population. This study explores the current employment experience of veterans living with traumatic amputation and the relationship among demographic, health and amputation related characteristics, employment status and service utilization, and perceived barriers to employment.

Methods:

Survey data from veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) were gathered on health and amputation, employment, service utilization, and perceived barriers to employment. Pearson chi-square tests, Fisher’s exact tests, and one-way analysis of variance were used to compare these measures between the employment categories.

Results:

Education level, annual household income, and disability benefit income were significantly related to employment status. Pain was found to significantly, negatively relate to employment status. Level of amputation and prosthesis use did not relate to employment status.

Conclusions:

Given the role of employment and the impact of an amputation on functional and psychosocial well-being, comprehensive supports to include pain management, exploration of one’s sense of meaning and achievement, including how veterans may contribute to their community, educational or skill-based opportunities, greater education on Veteran disability benefits, support utilization, and employment options including workplace accommodations should be considered and offered to veterans in a customized manner.
Predictors of Multidisciplinary Team Sustainability in Work With Child Sex Trafficking Cases
Authors: Jones Lisa M. , Mitchell Kimberly J.
Published: March 2022

A coordinated response by a trained multidisciplinary team (MDT) can help support child sex trafficking (CST) victims, but little is known about factors that influence the development and sustainability of MDTs in this work. An online survey was conducted with 171 professionals who attended a Multidisciplinary Team Child Sex Trafficking (MDT-CST) training to identify factors related to team growth. Increased MDT success was related to: (1) the presence of a CST-specific advocacy organization in the community; (2) other community agencies active in supporting CST victims (e.g., SANE nurses, faith-based organizations, and runaway shelters); (3) a greater breadth of professional representation on the MDT; and (4) agency leadership support for the CST action plan. Most of the MDTs sustained and increased their coordination with other community agencies over time, but the study identified that growth is improved when administrators support team efforts and there are resources and supports for CST victims elsewhere in the community.

Published: March 2022

Akhir-akhir ini banyak peneliti yang mempelajari terapi berbasis sel sebagai terapi regeneratif untuk melindungi atau memperbaiki jaringan yang rusak. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMMSC) memiliki kemampuan yang menjanjikan dalam memperbaiki ginjal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah induksi yang dilakukan dapat menyebabkan kerusakan tubulus ginjal dan BMMSC mampu melindungi atau memperbaiki kerusakan yang terjadi. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua belas tikus jantan umur 10-12 minggu dengan rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik minimum mencapai 140-150 mmHg yang dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol dan kelompok terapi. Tekanan darah yang tinggi diinduksi dengan mengangkat ginjal kanan, mengikat arteri karotis komunis kiri, serta memberikan NaCl 1%, DOCA 2,5 mg/100gBB, dan BAPN 0,12%. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell disuntikkan setelah 16 minggu induksi. Evaluasi histopatologi ginjal yang didukung dengan evaluasi darah dilakukan dua minggu setelah injeksi BMMSC. Berdasarkan evaluasi histopatologi, kerusakan tubulus ginjal pada dua kelompok tidak menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda. Demikian juga regenerasi pada kedua kelompok menunjukkan hasil sama. Kadar blood urea nitrogen (BUN) dan kreatinin pada kedua kelompok berada dalam kisaran kadar normal. Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan yang terjadi tidak parah dan BMMSC memperbaiki tubulus ginjal akan tetapi belum dapat melindungi tubulus ginjal dari kerusakan.

The double bottom of knowledge structuresIn the review article of Christoph Bonneuil’s and Jean-Baptiste Fressoz’s The Shock of Anthropocene I focus mainly on first two parts of the book out of three stressing their critical operations on existing structures of knowledge. On the first level, the critical work aims at widely spread commonsensical knowledge backed by propaganda, but on the more important, second level, it aims at dominating grand narrative of Anthropocene. The concepts of history / historical narrative and the man Anthropos are analyzed more thoroughly as they are fundamental for the Anthropocene grand narrative. The notion of “Capitalocene” as an alternative more politically reflexive and empirically accurate than “Anthropocene” is also shortly discussed at the end of the paper.
