Published: September 2020

Introduction: The human gut microbiota has become the subject of extensive research in recent years and the knowledge of the species inhabiting the gut is growing rapidly. Microbiota plays an important role in human health and diseases. It takes part in obtaining and storing energy, as well as in metabolic functions.The aim of the study: The purpose of the study is to collect and review scientific publications about the impact of gut microbiota on human health.Material and method: The paper uses standard criteria as the research method. The articles used to create the reviews were published on the PubMed and Google Scholar platforms.Description of the state of knowledge: Numerous studies suggest that composition of intestinal microbiota has impact on the long-term functioning of the human organism. Depressive disorders appear to be associated with changes in the microbiota. In depressed patients, fewer bacteria of the type Bacteroidetes and higher level of Alistipes are found. A few studies have demonstrated a link between gut microbial signatures and hypertension. Studies have shown that T2DM patients may have an altered composition of gut microbiota, mainly a decreased Bacteroidetes/ Firmicutes ratio and decrease in some functional bacteria  when compared to healthy people. Intestinal microorganisms are also a key element in the proper functioning of the immune system by influencing the maturation process of the immune system's cells. Summary: To sum up, numerous studies indicate that abnormal composition of the intestinal microflora is the cause of not only faster development of metabolic syndrome, but also other diseases. It influences the development of circulatory, nervous or immune system diseases. Its abnormal composition is influenced by many factors such as diet, lifestyle or antibiotic therapy.

Published: September 2020

The SLR test (straight leg raise), often reffered to as Lasègue's test, is one of the most often used provocative manoeuvres among patients with the pain ailments of the lower back (LBP). For the first time it was described in 1880 by a Serbian doctor called Lazerevic and since then numerous versions od this test has developed (1).

According to the authors' own experience, despite its large popularity in the clinical practice, the practitioners' interpretation of the test is often incorrect and is entirely confined to indicating the results in the dichotomous scale with the determination of the pain level. Such interpretation of the test cannot indicate the source of the pain ailments reported by the patients, all the more become a reference point for the treatment strategy. This study focues on the basic rules of neurodynamics and biomechanics of the SLR test and its varieties- the dynamic test of tibal, peroneal and sural nerves, which should serve as a model for working with the LBP patients.

Background and aim. Personality is shaped through external interactions and interests. The aim of the study was to check whether university students have a similar personality (as applicants for higher education) or a different personality (due to their field of study). Material and method. 60 full-time students aged between 20 and 29 years old were examined in three groups of 20 people from universities: University School of Physical Education in Wrocław (field of study: Sport), University of Zielona Góra (field of study: Construction) and University of Economics in Wrocław (field of study: Economics). The Personality Inventory NEO-FFI was used to measure personality. Results. Only one statistically significant difference was noted. Economics students had a lower level of neuroticism compared to sports students. Conclusions. The personality of students is not dependent on the field of study. Students as applicants for higher education have a similar personality.

INTRODUCTION. The phenomenon of the pain ailments of spine is very complex and increasingly common. The key aspect of the treatment is the appropriate choice of the therapy, which may be dependent on many factors i.e.: the cause of the ailments, the phase of the disease, the clinical sypmtoms, the general health condition of the patient, the functional disorders and the patient's abbilities.

AIM OF THE RESEARCH. The aim of the research is the assessment and the comparison of the effects of two methods of the treatment: 1) the therapy based on general exercises focused on the lumbosacral spine combined with Kinesiology Taping and 2) the therapy based on general exercises focused on the pain intensisty and on the life quality of people with chronic, non-specific pain of the lumbosacral spine among patients aged 25-55.

MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY. The research was conducted in a group of 50 people with chronic spine pain in the lumbosacral area. They were randomly divided into two groups: 1) the study group, where the ligament application of Kinesiology Taping was used for seven days (KT+GE), 2) the control group: no appliation of Kinesiology Taping (GE). Both groups took general exercises commonly used in the treatment of non-specific pain ailments of the lumbosacral spine for seven days. Durring the assessment of the effectiveness of the therapy the NRS scale (Numerical Rating Scale)and the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Scale questionnaire were used.

RESULTS. At the end of the treatment in the KT+GE group the decrease of the average pain intensity was observed from 6,20 to 2,12 (median 6,00 vs 2,00). The decrease of the average pain intensity was also noted in the GE group from 6,20 to 3,48 (median 6,00 vs 4,00). The statistical analysis showed that both forms of the therapy had a statistically significant impact (p

Authors: Elangovan Sampandam , Garbi Tilahun Diriba , Thillaiarasu Ponnusamy
Published: September 2020

Density (ρ), viscosity (η) and ultrasonic velocity (U) of chlorpheniramine with 1-ethanol mixtures are measured in a range of temperatures 303K, 308K and 313K. By using the systematic measurements, various physico chemical quantities, adiabatic compressibility (β), free length (Lf), free volume (Vf), viscous relaxation time (τ) and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) are attained. The deviations of those quantities to their ideal values are derived and revealed with the intermolecular interactions. The standard deviations and the coefficients of Redlich Kister polynomials of excess quantities are also determined to validate the calculations. From these observations, the existence of intermolecular interaction is confirmed and the strength of interactions with the temperatures as 303K>308K>313 K.

Biodiversitas 18: 1377-1384. Fusarium oxysporum is a soil borne pathogenic fungus that causes wilt disease in members of the family Solanaceae including the eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). One approach to resolving the problem of wilt disease in eggplant is to find endophytic microbes with antagonistic activity against F. oxysporum. The study reported here aimed to isolate such endophytic fungal antagonists from growing eggplants, to determine their antagonistic mechanisms, and to identify them. Samples of pathogenic fungi from diseased plants, assumed to be F. oxysporum, were obtained from the Laboratory of Plant Pests and Diseases of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. These were used to evaluate the antagonistic potential of endophytic fungi obtained from healthy eggplants in Dawung Village, Matesih, Karanganyar, Central Java. Specimens of various plant parts were collected from the healthy eggplants. The surfaces of these samples were sterilized for four minutes to remove contaminants, and then crushed excisions were cultured on a potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. Antagonistic tests between endophytic and pathogenic fungi used the agar plug diffusion technique. Identification of fungi isolates was carried out on the basis of morphological characteristics. Six endophytic fungi isolated had antagonist activity against F. oxysporum. The antagonistic mechanism of FEB1, FEB2, FEB5 and FED1 was competition; FED2 was antibiosis, and FED3 was parasitism. Based on their morphological characteristics, FEB2, FEB5 and FED3 were identified as Helicomyces spp.; FEB1 was a Rhizopus sp.; FED1 was a Mucor sp.; and FED2 was a species of Penicillium.
Review: Progress and potential of DNA barcoding for species identification of fish species

Imtiaz A, Mohd Nor SA, Md. Naim D. 2017. Review: Progress and potential of DNA barcoding for species identification of fish species. Biodiversitas 18: 1394-1405. DNA barcoding is a molecular technique to identify species by utilizing 600-800 base pairs genetic primer segments of mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I. DNA barcoding has high potential to identify species into taxa, resolves ambiguousness in species identification, helps in accurate species identification, categorize species for conservation and also communize the information in the form of database system. The main challenge to this technique is regarding the use of barcoding information on â€˜biological species conceptâ€™. The extreme diversity of fish and their economic importance has made this group a major target of DNA barcoding. DNA barcoding can assign the status of known to unknown sample but it also has the ability to detect previously un-sampled species as distinct. In this review, we present an overview of DNA barcoding and introduce current advances and limitation of this promising technique.

Authors: Zhou Chunyan , Mao Jiandong , Zhao Hu , Rao Zhimin , Zhang Bai
Published: September 2020

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a widely cultivated and economically profitable crop. However, Fusarium wilt disease can seriously affect cucumber yields, as it is difficult to prevent and eliminate. Therefore, a reliable method is needed for the rapid and early detection of Fusarium infection in cucumbers, which could be provided via the kinetic imaging of chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF). In this study, ChlF imaging and kinetic parameters were utilized with gray and radial basis function models to monitor cucumber Fusarium wilt disease. The results indicate that the disease can be detected and predicted using this imaging technique before symptoms become visible.

We have found an incorrect formula to estimate the root mean square (rms) amplitude of the molecular vibration in the molecular optomechanics systems reported by J. Liu et al. [Photon. Res. 5, 450–456 (2017)PRHEIZ2327-912510.1364/PRJ.5.000450]. In contrast with common optomechanical systems, the equilibrium position for molecular optomechanics systems used in the letter cannot be achieved by the equipartition theorem. Here, we achieve the effective temperature of molecules and then provide a corrected formula for the estimation of the rms amplitude of molecular motion. Using defined effective temperature into our new formula, we show that the minimal measurable force is (

The dithyrambic dramatist: A Nietzschean musical-performative conception
Authors: Frendo Mario
Published: September 2020

The concept of the dithyrambic dramatist – introduced by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in the fourth essay of his Untimely Meditations of 1873–76 – is one of the most performance-oriented concepts to emerge out of the nineteenth century in which theatre was often associated with dramatic literature. This article investigates the nature of the dithyrambic dramatist by tracing, in the first instance, the underlying musical perspectives – already evident in The Birth of Tragedy of 1872 – which led Nietzsche to develop the concept. In the second instance, the author articulates what may be considered as its key conditions, namely the visible–audible and individual–collective relationalities. In view of the arguments brought forward, the concept of the dithyrambic dramatist is located as an interdisciplinary element that emerged out of an art form – music – to which Nietzsche was intimately associated in his youth as a composer. The author further proposes that, rather than a metaphor to philological tropes, the dithyrambic dramatist is a concrete manifestation of interdisciplinary and performative foundations that inform Nietzsche’s analytic perspectives.

Re-calibrating stem volume models – is there change in the tree trunk form from the 1970s to the 2010s in Finland?
Authors: Kangas Annika , Henttonen Helena , Pitkänen Timo , Sarkkola Sakari , Heikkinen Juha
Published: September 2020

The tree stem volume models of Norway spruce, Scots pine and silver and downy birch currently used in Finland are based on data collected during 1968â1972. These models include four different formulations of a volume model, with three different combinations of independent variables: 1) diameter at height of 1.3 m above ground (), 2) and tree height () and 3) , and upper diameter at height of 6 m (). In recent National Forest Inventories of Finland, a difference in the mean volume prediction between the models with and without the upper diameter as predictor has been observed. To analyze the causes of this difference, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was used to acquire a large dataset in Finland during 2017â2018. Field-measured predictors and volumes predicted using spline functions fitted to the TLS data were used to re-calibrate the current volume models. The trunk form is different in these two datasets. The form height is larger in the new data for all diameter classes, which indicates that the tree trunks are more slender than they used to be. One probable reason for this change is the increase in stand densities, which is at least partly due to changed forest management. In models with both and as predictors, the volume is smaller a given class in the data new data than in the old data, and vice versa for the diameter classes. The differences between the old and new models were largest with pine and smallest with birch.dbhdbhhdbhhd6dbhhh

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a vulnerabilidade e o risco de contaminação dos aquíferos da região de Venâncio Aires. Para o seu desenvolvimento foram utilizados bancos de dados geológicos e hidrogeológicos, informações sobre fontes de contaminação, imageamento de satélite e levantamento de dados em campo. A vulnerabilidade dos aquíferos foi avaliada pela metodologia GOD, e o risco de contaminação, através da metodologia POSH. Foram identificados 271 poços. A análise dos dados permitiu identificar a ocorrência dos sistemas aquíferos Guarani (SAG) e Serra Geral (SASG). Para o SAG, houve predomínio das classes de vulnerabilidade baixa e média, com 44,27% e 38,16% da área, respectivamente. Para o SASG, houve predomínio de média vulnerabilidade, cobrindo 85,79% da sua área. Das fontes de contaminação difusas mapeadas, 41,4% da área do município foi classificada com potencial moderado, e 2,6% com potencial reduzido. Foram mapeadas 73 fontes de contaminação pontuais, sendo 23 delas com potencial reduzido, 30 com potencial moderado e 20 com potencial elevado. No SASG, o perigo de contaminação das fontes difusas predominou na classe moderada, com 35,7% da área nessa classe. No SAG, o predomínio foi de perigo baixo e moderado, cobrindo 19,5% e 15,2% da sua área, respectivamente. Os resultados evidenciam que os sistemas aquíferos apresentam áreas com vulnerabilidade média a alta, e risco moderado, logo há necessidade de programas de gestão da qualidade da água subterrânea.

Mentoring Ms. Marvel
Authors: Stevens J. Richard
Published: September 2020

In Marvel’s 2014 Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan presented an intersectional symbol of female heroism. Referencing the original 1977 character (Carol Danvers), Khan’s portrayal as a Muslim-American teen from New Jersey represented key contrasts to the blonde New York super-heroine, despite the fact that she initially takes on Danvers’ form. Khan eventually encounters Danvers, who serves as a mentor to the teen superhero. The relationship would define both characters, finally providing Danvers with the opportunity to explore her own compromised feminism. This chapter reviews the troubled history of Danvers and documents the turns to redirect her narrative. The chapter analyzes both Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel as feminist icons Marvel desperately needs to engage growing female audiences for comics. Kamala Khan’s narrative reframes Danvers as an icon worthy of respect through the millennial gaze, and the intergenerational exchange between the two characters serves to promote both for millennial consumers.
Placing Ms. Marvel and Dust
Authors: Lund Martin
Published: September 2020

The US has historically had trouble with ethnoracial formation, tensions having often boiled over when public awareness of various immigrant groups reached critical mass. Post-9/11, Muslims became the latest such “problem.” This “Muslim problem” is hotly debated in US comics culture. This chapter looks at Dust and Ms. Marvel, two post-9/11 Marvel Muslim superheroines, to show how Marvel has attempted corrective representations of Muslims and how these characters can be said to perpetuate or complicate Muslim stereotypes. Comics’ urban representations are never merely mimetic of material space, but always symbolic, selective, and ideologically informed narrative and graphic montages: a comic’s claim to real-world space is necessarily normative, taking existing spaces, and recreating it in ways that say who belongs there. This chapter focuses on how Dust and Ms. Marvel are figured in relation to New York City and its surroundings, and what that says about Muslims’ imagined right to the city.
“I Would Rather be a Cyborg”
Authors: Baldanzi Jessica
Published: September 2020

Kamala Khan, the new Ms. Marvel, needs superpowers both to protect her hometown of Jersey City and to negotiate the pull between her parents’ immigrant Pakistani identity and US teen culture. Khan’s alien, Inhuman race also poses a fascinating analogue to the complications of young US immigrants fighting to define their identities in a xenophobic climate. The besieged boundaries of Khan’s identity echo the complicated politics of self, mapped out in Donna Haraway’s classic “Cyborg Manifesto.” Whereas being an Inhuman implies cultural, gender, religious, and biological boundaries and restrictions—albeit with accompanying superpowers—Khan is in the process of crafting an identity that rejects such boundaries, instead embracing the both/and structure of a cyborg self. This productive tension helps decode Khan’s visual and cultural iconicity, especially her place within youth culture and technoculture, and suggests a way forward for a progressive Muslim female and her fans in a post-9/11, too-often Islamophobic America.

Proporsi populasi remaja di Indonesia mencapai seperempat dari total penduduk. Menurut Riset Kesehatan Dasar Tahun 2010, angka ini cukup besar dan perlu ada upaya yang spesifik dalam meningkatkan derajat kesehatan remaja. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa remaja saat ini sedang menghadapi globalisasi dan berpotensi melakukan perilaku berisiko. Penanganan permasalahan kesehatan remaja di Indonesia diupayakan oleh pemerintah melalui kerja sama lintas sektoral, pelayanan kesehatan dasar, dan pola intervensi. Harapannya strategi yang diterapkan telah disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan tahapan proses tumbuh kembang remaja.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikan persepsi remaja dalam keterlibatannya dalam pelaksanaan program kesehatan remaja dan mengidentifikasi kebutuhan dan harapan remaja terhadap pelaksanaan program kesehatan remaja. Subjek penelitian ini terdiri dari 2 kelompok, yaitu kelompok peer educator dan kelompok user (sasaran program). Remaja dalam penelitian berasal dari berbagai setting promosi kesehatan, yaitu remaja sekolah dan remaja di luar sekolah. Remaja di luar sekolah berasal dari remaja komunitas dan remaja jalanan. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik wawancara mendalam dan focus group discussion (FGD).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan keterlibatan kelompok peer educator masih cenderung pasif karena wewenangnya hanya sebatas pada tahap pelaksanaan program, harapannya peer educator dilibatkan mulai dari perencanaan program. Sedangkan keterlibatan kelompok remaja di luar sekolah cenderung lebih sangat pasif bahkan ada yang belum terpapar program. Program kesehatan remaja seharusnya melibatkan remaja dari berbagai setting dan disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan kapasitas remaja. Remaja berharap dapat dilibatkan mulai dari tahap perencanaan hingga evaluasi program karena remaja sebagai prime mover dalam keberhasilan program kesehatan remaja.

Published: September 2020

Procurement of drugs at RS X was carried out unsystematically by the head of the RS Pharmacy Installation. This procurement causes the costs incurred by the Hospital to be unplanned and inefficient. The value of the use of active pharmaceutical supplies in 2016 with the number of pharmaceutical supplies of 2119 is worth Rp. 168,232,696 and the number of 2041 inactive supplies worth Rp. 533,260,268. The data shows the inefficiency of pharmaceutical supplies within 1 year which results in the use of budget funds less efficiently. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the ABC VEN method as a basis for procurement systems in Hospital X.       The type of research conducted is quantitative, pre experimental using descriptive analytical methods with analysis of ABC and VEN methods. Samples were taken as much as 500 from the data of drug use for 1 year in RS X Pharmacy Installation.       The results of the study of 500 drug items with the ABC method found Group A 19.8%, Group B 40%, Group C 40.2%, the VEN method obtained group V 7.8%, Group E 88.8%, group N 3, 4%, with the ABC method VEN AV group 2%, AE 17.6%, AN 0.3%, BV 4.2%, BE 35%, BN 1.2%, CV 1.8%, CE 37%, CN 1.8%.

General Concept of Real Estate Tokenization on Blockchain
Authors: Konashevych Oleksii
Published: September 2020

This paper presents a concept of real estate tokenization, which includes legal, technological, and organizational aspects. The research introduces a theory of a Title Token – a digital record of ownership on the blockchain. It is discussed the principle of technological neutrality, where the traditional land registry is not necessarily abandoned in favor of blockchains, but instead, people gain the right to choose. Nowadays, public administrations use central-server databases, giving no alternatives for citizens. Recognition of the right of citizens to choose which technology to apply for managing their property rights creates a basis for free competition and the development of new technologies for better public services. Decentralized distributed ledgers are the key to decentralization. They enable more secure automation of legal procedures. On the contrary, centralization is a source of many issues in governance: abuse of power, corruption, inefficient governance, and high costs, slowness and complexity of bureaucratic procedures. With automation and reduction of intermediaries, the role of the government does not decrease but significantly changes, i.e. land cadaster bodies should not be monopolistic providers on the market. The paper introduces a theoretical basis for developing a new type of property registries.
A metamaterial loaded hybrid fractal multiband antenna for wireless applications with frequency band reconfigurability characteristics
Authors: Saraswat Ritesh Kumar , Kumar Mithilesh
Published: September 2020

In the present article authors propose the design and analysis of an octagonal shape multiband metamaterial loaded antenna with implementation of hybrid fractal geometry for wireless applications. Multiband features in the antenna structure is realized by applying the slotted and hybrid fractalization of Moore and Koch curve approach in radiating section along with introduction of two metamaterial SRR cells. The frequency band reconfigurability characteristics in proposed design is achieved by placing the PIN diode inside the connecting strip between the central hybrid fractal geometry and feedline. During forward bias condition of PIN diode antenna structure resonates at hepta (seven) band mode at WiMAX (3.5 GHz)/Lower C-band (4.41 GHz)/WLAN (5.4/5.8 GHz)/Lower X-band (8.26 GHz)/Upper X-band (10.48 GHz)/Lower Ku-band (13.35 GHz)/Middle Ku-band (14.42 GHz) wireless standards with S
11 ≤ −10 dB. Proposed antenna represent the hexa and hepta band features during reverse bias (OFF-state) and forward bias condition (ON-state) of PIN diode respectively. A stable and consistent radiation patterns, appropriate impedance matching and an acceptable gain are achieved at all the operating frequencies of the proposed antenna.

Metaphor in the Lab: Humor and Teaching Science
Authors: James Christine A.
Published: September 2020

Using humor, empathy, and improvisation to make science more accessible to the average person, the center has helped many scientists communicate more effectively about what they do. In many cases, this involves taking science down from the metaphorical “ivory tower” and bringing it into the comfort zone of students and people who may not have had a positive experience in science classes. A variety of metaphors are used to make science “come alive.” This is an interesting counter example to earlier theories of metaphor and comedy such as the “disparagement theory” (Mio and Graesser 1991) which described jokes as more successful if they relied on disparaging metaphors that build community through shared hostility. The metaphor approach builds community and creates inclusion through “social-facilitative functions of playful language” (Ritchie and Schell 2009). When a scientist helps a layperson or student understand humorous metaphors, it communicates the literal meaning of terms, but also the contextual meaning, research practices, and the laboratory social setting. This is argued through examples of humor, comedy, and metaphor—a timely issue given current political discussions in the United States.
Correlative negation in Old Persian
Authors: Briceño-Villalobos Juan
Published: September 2020

Negation is an operator that reverses the truth value of a proposition and it is considered an universal category (Horn 2001: xiii) since all human systems of communication contain a representation of propositional negation. Therefore, one of the most important features of negation is its markedness that sets a contrast between affirmation and negation. Said markedness is carried out in various ways by the world languages. As its standard negation, which is the most common kind of negation marking found in a given language (Payne 1985a: 198), Old Persian (OP) hasnai̯, which is mainly used in assertions, while it has a non-standard, prohibitive marker, OPmā. Concerning correlative negation (‘neither … nor’), Old Persian systematically employs the asyndetic repetition of the negative marker, provided the notorious absence among Indo-Iranian languages of the standard negation plus the enclitic particle IIr. *-ča. The objective of this paper is to make a thorough description of this isogloss shared by Indo-Iranian languages and, in the case of Old Persian, try to contrast its data with the Achaemenid Elamite material. I believe this will shed some new light on the nature of the asyndetic repetition of the negative marker as a means of expressing correlative negation in Old Iranian.
Changes in Work Orientations in Postsocialist Serbia
Authors: Ćosić Dunja Poleti
Published: September 2020

The subject of this study is work orientations, their change over time, as well as their distribution among the economically active citizens of Serbia. Particular attention is paid to work-motivated spatial mobility. The aim of this study is twofold: firstly, to determine which work orientations have been the most important for economically active individuals in the period of consolidation of the capitalist system in Serbia and to explore and explain the changes in their choices that have occurred since 2000; and secondly, to examine whether there are differences in prioritizing work orientations among actors with various social characteristics. The method of comparative analysis used in this paper was possible due to survey data collected during longitudinal research conducted by the Institute for Sociological Research in Belgrade over the last twenty years.
The Stabilisation of the Capitalist Order and Liberal Value Orientations in Serbia
Authors: Lazić Mladen , Pešić Jelena
Published: September 2020

Based on research data from 2003, 2012, and 2018, the authors examine the extent to which capitalist social relations in Serbia have determined liberal value orientations. The change of the social order in Serbia after 1990 brought about a radical change of the basis upon which values are constituted. To interpret the relationship between structural and value changes, the authors employ the theory of normative-value dissonance. Special attention in the analysis is paid to the interpretation of value changes based on the distinction between intra- and inter-systemic normative-value dissonance. In the first part of their study, the authors examine changes in the acceptance of liberal values over the period of consolidation of capitalism in Serbia, while in the second part they focus on the 2018 data and specific predictors of political and economic liberalism.
Graphene in curved Snyder space
Authors: Hamil Bilel , Aounallah Houcine , Lütfüoğlu Bekir Can
Published: September 2020

The Snyder-de Sitter (SdS) model which is invariant under the action of the de Sitter group, is an example of a noncommutative space-time with three fundamental scales. In this paper, we considered the massless Dirac fermions in graphene layer in a curved Snyder space-time which are subjected to an external magnetic field. We employed representation in the momentum space to derive the energy eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of the system. Then, we used the deduced energy function obtaining the internal energy, heat capacity, and entropy functions. We investigated the role of the fundamental scales on these thermal quantities of the graphene layer. We found that the effect of the SdS model on the thermodynamic properties is significant.

Wells, AJ, Varanoske, AN, Coker, NA, Kozlowski, GJ, Frosti, CL, Boffey, D, Harat, I, Jahani, S, Gepner, Y, and Hoffman, JR. Effect of β-alanine supplementation on monocyte recruitment and cognition during a 24-hour simulated military operation. J Strength Cond Res 34(11): 3042–3054, 2020—Sustained military operations (SUSOPs) result in psychological stress and cognitive dysfunction, which may be related to the recruitment of classical monocytes into the brain. This study examined the effect of beta-alanine (BA) on cognition and monocyte recruitment during a simulated 24-hour SUSOP. Nineteen healthy men ingested 12-g/d BA or placebo for 14 days before an SUSOP. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), C-C chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2), and macrophage-1-antigen (CD11b) expression were assessed through multiplex assay and flow cytometry. Psychological stress and cognition were assessed through Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM). A composite measure of cognition (COGcomp) was generated from throughput scores extracted from 7 ANAM cognitive tests. Assessments occurred at baseline (0H), 12 hours (12H), 18 hours (18H), and 24 hours (24H). Significance was accepted at p ≤ 0.05. No significant effect of BA was noted for any variable (p's > 0.05). The frequency and severity of symptoms of psychological stress increased significantly at 18 and 24H compared with 0 and 12H (p's < 0.05). COGcomp decreased significantly at 18 and 24H compared with 0 and 12H (p's ≤ 0.001). MCP-1 peaked at 18H was significantly lower at 24H compared with 18H but remained elevated at 24H compared with 0H (p's < 0.001). CCR2 expression was significantly lower at 12 (p = 0.031), 18, and 24H (p's < 0.001). CD11b expression was significantly higher at 12H (p = 0.039) and 24H (p's = 0.003). MCP-1 was negatively associated with COGcomp (β = −0.395, p = 0.002, r2 = 0.174). Neither CCR2 or CD11b was related to COGcomp (p's > 0.05). Cognitive dysfunction during SUSOPs is related to serum concentrations of MCP-1 but is not influenced by BA supplementation.
URETEROLITÍASE BILATERAL ASSOCIADA A DOENÇA RENAL CRÔNICA EM FELINO – RELATO DE CASO
Authors: Pereira Marcy Lancia , Popp Priscila , César Jane Regina França
Published: September 2020

Ureterolitíases são importantes causas de obstrução do trato urinário superior em gatos. A ocorrência de cálculos em ambos os ureteres é pouco frequente em felinos. Este relato visa apresentar o caso de uma gata, sem raça definida, com aproximadamente sete anos de idade, com diagnóstico de ureterolitíase e hidronefrose bilaterais, associadas a doença renal crônica. A paciente foi encaminhada devido à queixa de vômito e anorexia. Os cálculos bilaterais em região proximal ureteral foram observados por meio de ultrassonografia e radiografia simples, enquanto hidronefrose e diminuição da relação corticomedular e hiperecogenicidade de cortical foram vistos à ultrassonografia. Inicialmente, foi realizado tratamento clínico com fluidoterapia para manutenção e reposição e analgésico por opção do tutor. Devido à piora do quadro clínico, optou-se por tratamento cirúrgico, entretanto, devido a aspecto macroscópico bastante desfavorável dos rins à celiotomia, optou-se pela eutanásia. No exame post mortem imediato, notou-se dilatação de pelve e cálices renais, atrofia do parênquima renal, irregularidade de contornos renais e presença de urólitos acastanhados em formato de roseta, sugestivos de oxalato de cálcio, em ambos os ureteres. Destaca-se a importância da avaliação por imagem como ferramenta diagnóstica precoce de forma a otimizar o prognóstico para o paciente.
