Published: June 2021

Influenza is a highly known contagious viral infection that has been responsible for the death of many people in history with pandemics. These pandemics have been occurring every 10 to 30 years in the last century. The most recent global pandemic prior to COVID-19 was the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic. A decade ago, the H1N1 virus caused 12,500 deaths in just 19 months globally. Now, again, the world has been challenged with another pandemic. Since December 2019, the first case of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection was detected in Wuhan. This infection has risen rapidly throughout the world; even the World Health Organization (WHO) announced COVID-19 as a worldwide emergency to ensure human health and public safety. This review article aims to discuss important issues relating to COVID-19, including clinical, epidemiological, and pathological features of COVID-19 and recent progress in diagnosis and treatment approaches for the COVID-19 infection. We also highlight key similarities and differences between COVID-19 and influenza A to ensure the theoretical and practical details of COVID-19.
Novel Tsg101 Binding Partners Regulate Viral L Domain Trafficking

Published: June 2021

Two decades ago, Tsg101, a component of the Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT) complex 1, was identified as a cellular factor recruited by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to facilitate budding of viral particles assembled at the cell periphery. A highly conserved Pro-(Thr/Ser)-Ala-Pro [P(T/S)AP] motif in the HIV-1 structural polyprotein, Gag, engages a P(T/S)AP-binding pocket in the Tsg101 N-terminal domain. Since the same domain in Tsg101 that houses the pocket was found to bind mono-ubiquitin (Ub) non-covalently, Ub binding was speculated to enhance P(T/S)AP interaction. Within the past five years, we found that the Ub-binding site also accommodates di-Ub, with Lys63-linked di-Ub exhibiting the highest affinity. We also identified small molecules capable of disrupting Ub binding and inhibiting budding. The structural similarity of these molecules, prazoles, to nucleosides prompted testing for nucleic acid binding and led to identification of tRNA as a Tsg101 binding partner. Here, we discuss these recently identified interactions and their contribution to the viral assembly process. These new partners may provide additional insight into the control and function of Tsg101 as well as identify opportunities for anti-viral drug design.
Regulation of Krüppel-Like Factor 15 Expression by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 or Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Productive Infection
Authors: El-mayet Fouad S. , Harrison Kelly S. , Jones Clinton
Published: June 2021

Expression of Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15), a stress-induced transcription factor, is induced during bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) reactivation from latency, and KLF15 stimulates BoHV-1 replication. Transient transfection studies revealed that KLF15 and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) cooperatively transactivate the BoHV-1-immediate-early transcription unit 1 (IEtu1), herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected cell protein 0 (ICP0), and ICP4 promoters. The IEtu1 promoter drives expression of bICP0 and bICP4, two key BoHV-1 transcriptional regulatory proteins. Based on these studies, we hypothesized infection is a stressful stimulus that increases KLF15 expression and enhances productive infection. New studies demonstrated that silencing KLF15 impaired HSV-1 productive infection, and KLF15 steady-state protein levels were increased at late stages of productive infection. KLF15 was primarily localized to the nucleus following infection of cultured cells with HSV-1, but not BoHV-1. When cells were transfected with a KLF15 promoter construct and then infected with HSV-1, promoter activity was significantly increased. The ICP0 gene, and to a lesser extent, bICP0 transactivated the KLF15 promoter in the absence of other viral proteins. In contrast, BoHV-1 or HSV-1 encoded VP16 had no effect on KLF15 promoter activity. Collectively, these studies revealed that HSV-1 and BoHV-1 productive infection increased KLF15 steady-state protein levels, which correlated with increased virus production.

Published: June 2021

Studies on hand-transmitted vibration exposure, biodynamic responses, and biological effects were conducted by researchers at the Health Effects Laboratory Division (HELD) of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) during the last 20 years. These studies are systematically reviewed in this report, along with the identification of areas where additional research is needed. The majority of the studies cover the following aspects: (i) the methods and techniques for measuring hand-transmitted vibration exposure; (ii) vibration biodynamics of the hand–arm system and the quantification of vibration exposure; (iii) biological effects of hand-transmitted vibration exposure; (iv) measurements of vibration-induced health effects; (iv) quantification of influencing biomechanical effects; and (v) intervention methods and technologies for controlling hand-transmitted vibration exposure. The major findings of the studies are summarized and discussed.
Hydrodynamic Performance and Design Evolution of Wedge-Shaped Blocks for Dam Protection against Overtopping
Authors: Caballero Francisco Javier , Toledo Miguel Ángel , Moran Rafael , San Mauro Javier
Published: June 2021

Dam safety requirements have become stronger in recent years, highlighting, among other issues, the need to increase the discharge capacity of existing spillways and the protection of embankment dams against potential overtopping, which are particularly threatened by the hydrological consequences of climate change. The current economic situation requires solutions that ensure the safety of these infrastructures at an affordable cost. Wedge-shaped blocks (WSBs) are one of these solutions. A more detailed understanding of the performance of WSBs was the objective of this work and, based on this, the evolution of WSB design. An extensive empirical test program was performed, registering hydrodynamic pressures on the block faces and leakage through the joints between blocks and their air vents. A new WSB (named ACUÑA) with a different design of air vents was tested in comparison to Armorwedge™, which was used as a reference case. Moreover, the hydraulic behavior of the WSB was analyzed according to the saturation state of the granular drainage layer. The ACUÑA unit was designed with air vents in the upper part of the riser where the registered negative pressures were higher. Negative pressures were also measured at the base of the block when the granular drainage layer was not fully saturated. Finally, the beneficial effect of sealing some of the joints between blocks was quantified.
Behaviors and Trends toward Routine Maintenance and Major Repairs of Afridev Handpumps in Rural Malawi
Authors: Truslove Jonathan P. , Coulson Andrea B. , Mbalame Emma , Kalin Robert M.
Published: June 2021

Service provision for Afridev handpumps through community management in Malawi is a notable challenge. Essential preventative maintenance is often neglected, and repairs are undertaken on a reactive basis. The costs of major repairs are not recognized at community level and are typically neglected across the lifecycle of infrastructure or left to external stakeholders. The aim of this study was to investigate preventative maintenance and capital maintenance expenditure over the 15-year design lifecycle of 21,997 Afridev handpumps in Malawi, and how costs change based on different local tariff collection scenarios. A total of four tariff collection scenarios were investigated, for assets both subject and not subject to rehabilitation. The findings highlight poor initial capacity building into appropriate cost recovery and maintenance approaches. Major repair costs increase over the pump lifecycle when service consists of the replacement of low-cost, fast-wearing parts. Rehabilitation/major repair costs increase as a result but tend to be focused on simple longer-life components, such as pump rods. In both cases, a reliance on external support was highlighted, as larger costs are primarily covered by donors and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). Proactive tariff scenarios may provide a greater capability of replacement throughout the lifecycle of major items when compared to reactive tariff scenarios. It is recommended that policy and practitioners should focus on capacity building of sustainable maintenance models that consider the full lifecycle costs of assets.

Published: June 2021

Extensive green roof is one of the sustainable urban stormwater management alternatives to manage and mitigate the urban surface runoff. In order to implement green roofs more effectively, suitable plant species and substrate components for tropical climate must be identified. The aim of this study is to investigate the evapotranspiration (ET) behaviors in extensive green roofs based on different substrate types and local native plant species. Four green roof test beds containing pro-mixing pot and burn soils were each vegetated with Axonopus Compressus (grass) and Portulaca Grandiflora (sedum). A weather station with soil moisture sensors was installed to measure the weather and soil moisture data. The results showed that the mean ET rates for grass-pot soil, sedum-pot soil, grass-burn soil and sedum-burn soil were 1.32 ± 0.41 mm/day, 2.31 ± 0.72 mm/day, 1.47 ± 0.39 mm/day and 2.31 ± 0.43 mm/day, respectively. It is noted that environmental parameters such as ambient temperature, solar radiation and wind speed showed significantly positive relationship (p value < 0.01) with ET rates of green roofs except relative humidity. The crop coefficients (Ks) for the studied green roof plant species are estimated based on actual and reference evapotranspiration rates. The sedum planted in burn soil showed the highest crop coefficient (0.64), followed by sedum in pot soil (0.62), grass in burn soil (0.39) and grass in pot soils (0.37), respectively. The findings in this study also showed that substrate with better water retention capacity generally improved the Ks values.

Published: June 2021

Any surgical intervention leads to the development of various morphological, biochemical and functional changes in the patient’s body, the severity of which depends on the patient’s age, the state of the body and the volume of the operation performed. The amount of care in the postoperative period depends on the patient’s condition, his age, the severity of the disease, the type of surgery, the prescribed regimen. Proper patient care plays an important role in the prevention of possible complications and a favorable treatment outcome. Therefore, the role of a nurse in the postoperative period plays a very important role in the patient’s return to normal life and in the restoration of working capacity.

Background
. New York City (NYC) experienced an initial surge and gradual decline in the number of SARS-CoV-2-confirmed cases in 2020. A change in the pattern of laboratory test results in COVID-19 patients over this time has not been reported or correlated with patient outcome.
Methods
. We performed a retrospective study of routine laboratory and SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test results from 5,785 patients evaluated in a NYC hospital emergency department from March to June employing machine learning analysis.
Results
. A COVID-19 high-risk laboratory test result profile (COVID19-HRP), consisting of 21 routine blood tests, was identified to characterize the SARS-CoV-2 patients. Approximately half of the SARS-CoV-2 positive patients had the distinct COVID19-HRP that separated them from SARS-CoV-2 negative patients. SARS-CoV-2 patients with the COVID19-HRP had higher SARS-CoV-2 viral loads, determined by cycle threshold values from the RT-PCR, and poorer clinical outcome compared to other positive patients without the COVID12-HRP. Furthermore, the percentage of SARS-CoV-2 patients with the COVID19-HRP has significantly decreased from March/April to May/June. Notably, viral load in the SARS-CoV-2 patients declined, and their laboratory profile became less distinguishable from SARS-CoV-2 negative patients in the later phase.
Conclusions
. Our longitudinal analysis illustrates the temporal change of laboratory test result profile in SARS-CoV-2 patients and the COVID-19 evolvement in a US epicenter. This analysis could become an important tool in COVID-19 population disease severity tracking and prediction. In addition, this analysis may play an important role in prioritizing high-risk patients, assisting in patient triaging and optimizing the usage of resources.

Efectos de un derivado de indenopiridina, RTI-4587-073 (l), en la reproducción del gato doméstico (Felis catus)
Authors:   , D'Francisco Florencia Alina
Published: June 2021

Con el objetivo de contribuir al control y mejora de la reproducción de felinos domésticos, este Trabajo de Tesis se planteó como objetivos: 1) evaluar el efecto de la indenopiridina RTI-4587-073 (l) en la espermatogénesis; 2) describir y comparar la ecogenicidad y heterogeneidad testicular mediante análisis digital de imágenes ultrasonográficas en: a) testículos normales y con alteraciones en la espermatogénesis y b) gatos prepuberales, peripuberales y adultos. En el primer capítulo, 30 gatos machos adultos, se trataron (día 0) con 12,5 mg/kg PO de RTI-4587-073 (L) y se hemiorquiectomizaron a los -14 días, 6 horas, 12 horas, 1 día, 7 días, 14 días, 21 días, 35 días o 42 días. Previamente, se tomaron muestras para determinación de testosterona (T) fecal. Los testículos se evaluaron macro y microscópicamente. El RTI-4587-073 (L) no provocó cambios en: parámetros macroscópicos testiculares (P>0,1), concentraciones de T fecal (P>0,1) ni aparición de efectos secundarios. Histológicamente, a partir de las 6 horas, se observó desorganización de la citoarquitectura del epitelio seminífero y disminución del volumen de todos sus componentes, excepto las espermatogonias. Estos cambios desaparecieron gradualmente hacia el final del estudio. Así, el RTI-4587-073 (L) provoca rápida interrupción de la espermatogénesis con retorno a la normalidad en aproximadamente un ciclo espermático, sin efectos secundarios. En el segundo capítulo, se incluyeron 7 gatos machos adultos en un modelo experimental de daño espermatogénico, mediante administraciones sucesivas de un antagonista de GnRH. Previa y posteriormente, los testículos se evaluaron mediante ultrasonografía modo B. La ecogenicidad y heterogeneidad se analizaron digitalmente, cuantificándolas como la intensidad media de pixeles (IMP) y su desvío standard (DS), respectivamente. Los animales se orquiectomizaron, y los parámetros histomorfométricos testiculares se correlacionaron con las variables ultrasonográficas. La ecogenicidad (P<0,05) pero no la heterogeneidad (P<0,1), disminuyó tras el deterioro espermatogénico (P>0,1). No se halló correlación entre parámetros ecográficos e histológicos. En el tercer capítulo, 14 gatos machos adultos, se evaluaron ultrasonográficamente como en el capítulo anterior. Luego de ser orquiectomizados, se clasificaron histomorfométricamente como Prepuberales,Peripuberales o Pospuberales. La IMP (P<0,05) y la SD (P<0,05) se incrementaron a la pubertad. Los parámetros ultrasonográficos e histomorfométricos mostraron estar fuertemente correlacionados. El análisis digital de imágenes ultrasonográficas modo B podría convertirse en una herramienta diagnóstica útil en la evaluación de la funcionalidad reproductiva del gato doméstico.
La laïcité : principe de liberté ou politique discriminatoire ?
Authors: Kenko Djomeni Gabin
Published: June 2021

Nous tentons dans ce travail de montrer que la notion de laïcité est polysémique. Un regard rétrospectif sur son histoire conforte dans l’idée qu’elle revêt des sens variés en fonction des époques et des contextes ; qu’elle ne revêt pas un sens unique et uniforme dans toute l’histoire de la pensée ; qu’elle est même une notion dont la pratique a précédé l’existence même de la notion. Ce qui de toute évidence en rajoute à la difficulté de la définir, puisque, au fond, il apparaîtra bientôt dans le corps de ce travail qu’elle a bien des contenus spécifiques selon les lieux, les contextes et les périodes plutôt qu’un sens précis universalisable de fait et de droit. De la sorte, les prétentions des modernes de fonder un humanisme laïc dans le sens de l’universalité comme si toutes les sociétés humaines vivaient en fonction des mêmes rites, des mêmes religions et des mêmes croyances se seront vites éprouvées en leur limite comme jadis, au Moyen-Âge, la volonté martiale du pouvoir pontificale s’était aussi éprouvée en ses propres limites quand elle avait exprimé la prétention de rallier les peuples païens à la religion chrétienne. De même alors qu’une telle volonté de conversion par le glaive a fait du Moyen-Âge, à bien des égards, une période sombre de l’histoire à laquelle on ne se réfère la plupart du temps que négativement, et ce indépendamment de son apport majeur dans l’histoire des sciences et des techniques, de même encore, la modernité court le risque de se voir sombrer dans le même délire que ce Moyen-Âge si elle ne reconvertit pas son regard désastreux sur la nature de ses rapports entre le spirituel et le temporel. Il s’agira pour nous de cerner au-delà de ce flux polysémique la signification réelle de la laïcité pour nous qui sommes situés à la confluence de deux époques, à savoir la modernité et la contemporanéité postmoderne. Par-delà cette intuition purement intellectuelle du sens de la laïcité, il s’agira aussi pour nous de montrer que l’homme n’est jamais tant malheureux que quand il est livré à lui-même ; que la raison humaine a cette fâcheuse tendance à faire croire à l’homme qu’il est lui-même Dieu ; que le lieu du sens que propose le théologico-éthique est bon gré mal gré indissociable du lieu du bon sens du temporel humain ; que l’éthique laïque à elle seule serait malgré toute sa dose de « bonne volonté » incapable de fonder le bonheur de l’homme ainsi que la paix sociale ; que la prise en compte symbiotique des deux ordres - le religieux/spirituel et le politique/temporel en l’occurrence - est un impératif pour le bonheur de l’homme et la survie de l’humanité en proie au désenchantement.
La laïcité au Cameroun : pratiques religieuses et rapport(s) au travail dans les services publics
Authors: Ndam Salifou
Published: June 2021

L’État camerounais prône la laïcité. Pourtant, plus de 50 ans après l’indépendance officielle du pays, la question de la laïcité demeure assez complexe et ambiguë en termes d’appropriation publique et de diverses interprétations. En effet, le religieux se manifeste sans limite, et à des échelles variées et différenciées, dans les multiples sphères de la vie quotidienne. Dans les services publics par exemple, il se matérialise par l’omniprésence d’objets et lieux de culte sur les espaces de travail et dans les interactions professionnelles entre agents et usagers. Bien qu’étant officiellement déviante, cette pratique résulte du besoin réel des agents publics d’emporter leurs religions dans leurs lieux de travail, au nom de la laïcité et de la liberté de culte. Du fait de l’apparente confusion entre laïcité et liberté de culte, la religion se positionne dans les services publics non seulement comme un élément de marquage social, mais aussi comme un outil de revendication identitaire, de mobilisation religieuse et un guide des conduites des agents et usagers. Cette reconfiguration des rapports sociaux des agents publics entre eux et des agents publics avec des usagers remet en question l’une des exigences cardinales du service public, au sens administratif du terme. Par conséquent, le présent article s’appuie sur les données issues des observations directes à Yaoundé, la capitale du pays, et des entretiens semi-directifs avec les usagers et agents publics de cinq ministères, pour analyser les rapports des individus à la laïcité. Il en ressort que la prépondérance des faits religieux dans les services publics participe d’une remise en question de la déontologie administrative et professionnelle des agents publics, et des considérations diverses de la notion de laïcité par la société camerounaise en général. Bien que ces dernières soient contradictoires, leur multiplicité et ses conséquences constituent une preuve de la cohabitation religieuse, de conciliation et de partage des subjectivités au travail, et en même temps une entorse au rendement et à l’efficacité des agents publics au Cameroun.

L-band microwave satellite missions provide soil moisture information potentially useful for streamflow and hence flood predictions. However, these observations are also sensitive to the presence of vegetation that makes satellite soil moisture estimations prone to errors. In this study, the authors evaluate satellite soil moisture estimations from SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) and SMOS (Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity), and two distributed hydrologic models with measurements from in~situ sensors in the Corn Belt state of Iowa, a region dominated by annual row crops of corn and soybean. First, the authors compare model and satellite soil moisture products across Iowa using in~situ data for more than 30 stations. Then, they compare satellite soil moisture products with state-wide model-based fields to identify regions of low and high agreement. Finally, the authors analyze and explain the resulting spatial patterns with MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) vegetation indices and SMAP vegetation optical depth. The results indicate that satellite soil moisture estimations are drier than those provided by the hydrologic model and the spatial bias depends on the intensity of row-crop agriculture. The work highlights the importance of developing a revised SMAP algorithm for regions of intensive row-crop agriculture to increase SMAP utility in the real-time streamflow predictions.

Published: June 2021

This paper deals with the analysis of family factors that influence the educational and therefore professional decisions of adolescents. The educational-professional decisions of adolescents are products of complex and parallel processes and the influence of parents on them is internationally diachronic and important. Initially, a presentation and analysis of the conceptual approaches of decision-making is attempted and then a historical presentation of research data concerning the parental connection and influence on the educational-vocational decisions of adolescents is made. The influencial factors that are being considered are those of the parents’ professions, the grammatical knowledge and the educational background of the family, the family’s economic situation, the gender of adolescents and the expectations and unfulfilled wishes of the parents. It is also required to mention the crucial role of functional-authoritative parenting and the negative influence of parental over-involvement.

Published: June 2021

The increased number of students, technological development, new learning theories and personal needs have led to the introduction of online learning and vis-à-vis learning from home. Online learning has recently been very popular (especially considering the COVID-19 situation and lockdown) and learning from home for everyone as they stayed out from the university and did home learning to keep them educationally updated. Almost every university in Britain and around the world has adopted online teaching using various technological tools to keep their pupils updated and ahead on the crowd. Most of the higher educational institutions also considered delivering their regular programmes online. While assessing the importance of home learning with the parents, it was evidenced that parents agreed on flexible learning (often refereed to online leaning and home learning) because they think online learning has made education effective, it has been considered as a motivation factor in terms of self-efficacy. However, from the personal experience of teaching and learning it was truly evidenced that there are lot differences between the traditional and online learning. In traditional learning the teachers have the full control on class management and to the learning environment. In traditional learning, the teacher’s ability, personality, quality, adaptation, learning situation, and the creation of course materials affect the learning-teaching performance, which is quite different in online/e-learning situations. In this article, we are trying to address the approaches of learning in the higher education sector, including the concept of online learning and highlight some common obstacles
